 At this very moment, 80% of the data created will be unstructured. Much of the unstructured data is quite valuable. For example, sensors are collecting and generating continuous data streams from scientific experiments, wind turbines, and nuclear reactors. Marketers listen to sentiment data from social networks to quickly respond to your concerns about their products. And your MRI or X-ray from the emergency room in digital form is most certainly precious data.

 Is data a resource and/or a nightmare?

 Data is a resource. To the storage administrator, however, Big Data can also be a nightmare to manage. Think about the file sprawl on your own personal computer. You know from your experience that hierarchical file directories are arbitrary and complex. Steve, a storage administrator, wakes up every morning with ever growing branches of directories to manage. Basic storage management tasks like archiving, backup and disaster recovery is a challenge at scale.

 The OpenStack Object Store project, known as Swift, uses a simpler flatter hierarchical address space with unique resource identifiers for the objects it stores. Swift is ideal for storing unstructured data at scale. With no nesting like a traditional file system, capacity scan scale into the Petabytes and the number of objects into the billions.

 Can Elastic Storage Object really keep my storage projects under one roof?

 Due to its extreme scalability, extensibility, and resilience, OpenStack Swift is emerging as a dominant object storage solution. Despite its benefits, however, OpenStack Swift follows a model of deploying new storage systems for new application domains, effectively separating storage projects from each other.

 Elastic Storage Object and Swift, aims to change this model by consolidating File and Object under a single shared storage infrastructure. The global namespace eliminates the need for physical client-to-server mappings making this an ideal platform to perform common storage management tasks such as automated storage tiering and user transparent data migration. Elastic Storage Object simplifies data management even further by creating a flat namespace and eliminating the hassle of organizing data in a hierarchical namespace.

 How do I start exploring Object Storage?

 If you are in interested in exploring these capabilities, we can help you get your own object storage infrastructure up and running with this new Redpaper | A Deployment Guide for Elastic Storage Object. Click here for your free copy.

 The goal of this Redpaper is to describe the benefits of using Elastic Storage as the underlying file system with OpenStack Swift, guide the administrator through the installation and configuration of Elastic Storage Object, and describe the general set of configurations and scenarios that have been validated. So download the Redpaper and see for yourself:

 How to take advantage of the benefits of Elastic Storage when building an object storage solution.

 How to install OpenStack Swift on GPFS, providing best practices for configuring and tuning the software stack.

 Let's face it - IT infrastructure is expensive. This is especially true of the type of infrastructure used for clustered HPC and analytic applications.
 For people not familiar with distributed workload management, claims around cost-savings can sound fanciful, so in short this post I wanted to take the time to clearly explain some of the money savers.
 Here are ten ways that Platform Computing software can help you do more with less. For additional details on each savings opportunity download our recently published e-book on this same topic.

 1. Running applications more efficiently.

 While we often focus on topics like clock speed and bandwidth as measures of performance, in distributed applications latency is what matters. This is especially true as computers get faster. If I have a series of tasks where each executes for 2 seconds, but I spend a full-second getting each task scheduled to a cluster node, I've just lost 33% of my productivity and added 50% to my cost. Platform Computing schedulers avoid this pitfall by providing as low as sub-millisecond scheduling latency removing the "white space" between jobs and keeping infrastructure close to 100% utilized.

 2. Sharing infrastructure more liberally.

 Everyone appreciates the value of sharing, but in complex IT environments it is often easier said than done. Various technical barriers and concerns about ownership, security and SLAs can cause line-of-business owners to purposely spend more on replicated infrastructure just to avoid these risks. As an example, an organization may deploy one or more Hadoop clusters along with separate clusters for other distributed workloads because they are unable to consolidate the workloads onto a single cluster. It turns out that Platform Computing software is very good at sharing resources among diverse applications. It can protect resource ownership, automate service deployment, and facilitate lending and borrowing among tenants while guaranteeing resource access based on policy. More effective sharing means that organizations can often get along with less infrastructure while preserving service level guarantee.

 3. Harvesting idle compute cycles.

 With smarter workload scheduling, clusters can be made more efficient, but what about all of the other resources in the data center? During overnight hours or other periods of low activity, desktops, application servers, hypervisors and other data center assets may sit idle. The resource harvesting capabilities in Platform Computing schedulers allow applications to appropriately tap these idle cycles, stepping around business critical workloads and helping organizations get more work done while avoiding the need to expand the size of dedicated cluster.

 4. Accelerating application development and deployment.

 Developers know that building distributed applications can be hard. For this reason, they often deploy separate sandbox or test and development clusters for the express purpose of developing and debugging new applications. Platform Computing simplifies this process with a freely downloadable Developer Edition that simulates application behavior of a large-scale production cluster on a standalone computer or VM. This helps reduce the amount of infrastructure required for development while simultaneously reducing development time for a multi-dimensional win – better developer productivity, lower infrastructure requirements and faster time to market for new application services.

 5. Avoid storage costs due to avoidable data replication.

 For many organizations, globally distributed data centers are the norm. Teams across these centers frequently need access to remote data and make copies that can be referenced locally. This results in multiple copies of the same dataset introducing challenges with version control while requiring additional storage. Similarly, many organizations deploying Hadoop environments find themselves constantly copying data in and out of the Hadoop file system (HDFS) resulting in additional data replication. By deploying IBM GPFS, both of these problems are avoidable. Organizations can maintain a single global name space that exploits wide-area data caching to reduce total storage footprint without compromising performance. Also, GPFS allows both Hadoop and non-Hadoop workloads to share common datasets avoiding the need for redundant copies of data while accelerating workflows.

 6. Improving availability and guaranteeing SLAs.

 Downtime can be expensive. In application areas like Electronic Design Automation (EDA) or financial risk, cluster downtime can result in large numbers of professionals sitting idle and real costs in terms of opportunity or lost productivity. In this case of regulated environments, the failure to meet batch windows or reporting deadlines can result in SLA breaches and additional levied costs or penalties. Platform Computing schedulers incorporate a whole range of features to ensure that clusters almost never go down and that SLAs can be guaranteed thus avoiding downtime related risks.

 7. Slowing the rate of infrastructure growth.

 Many of the cost savers discussed above help firms get more done with less infrastructure. As environments evolve year over year, total costs including equipment, software licenses, power, cooling, facilities and personnel can be very large. Slowing the annual growth rate even by even a small amount has a cumulative impact that can result in dramatic savings over many years. By slowing infrastructure growth, organizations may find themselves able to defer or avoid major capital investments like data center expansions or new construction.

 8. Reducing management and personnel costs.

 In any data center personnel costs are significant components of overall IT spending. Because the Platform Computing software impacts operations as well as application development and maintenance, advantages related to life-cycle management allow organizations to manage larger environments with fewer personnel. Platform Computing products are frequently deployed in large cluster environments, and extensive work has been done in areas like manageability, diagnosability and sustaining capabilities to maximize management efficiency. This leaves organizations free to redeploy some personnel from operations into other roles more strategic to the business.

 9. Decreasing training and support costs.

 By providing easy-to-use interfaces for in-house and commercial applications that constrain usage based on role, application managers can significantly reduce training and support costs. To the extent that otherwise manual multi-step workflows can be automated and hardened, training and support costs can be further reduced. By automating workflows and ensuring their resiliency, problems associated with human factors can be minimized avoiding situations where expensive compute capacity is wasted due to improperly structured jobs or cases where deadlines are missed owing to errors in multi-step processes.

 10. Avoiding hidden or unexpected costs.

 The more capable and feature rich the offering, the less likely it is that sites will encounter down-stream issues that are disruptive to the business and require significant investment to address. Some examples of requirements that may emerge downstream could be the need to deploy new functionality like user-portals, data-aware scheduling solutions, session-oriented scheduling or the need to provisioning infrastructure on demand or cost-efficiently address peak periods by tapping a cloud-based service for overflow capacity. The breadth of the capabilities in the Platform Computing portfolio along with the wide range of applications supported mean that downstream surprises resulting in unforeseen costs are less likely to occur.

 To learn more about these and other opportunities to save money, Platform Computing has published an e-book on this same topic that provides additional details and references related to the cost savings opportunities described here.

T here are new developments tonight in the investigation of a home explosion that rattled a northern Michigan community.
T he deadly blast happened Monday morning on Drummond Island.
"I t was raining shingles and chunks of plywood ," Thomas Ellis, Drummond Island safety officer said.
T his neighborhood became an unusually dangerous scene after this home exploded around nine in the morning.
T he blast shook the island and few knew what was going on.
"E verybody assumed it was a quarry blast until a lot of people realize the blasting crew isn't back yet ," Ellis explained.
B ut they soon realized something was wrong.
"I could see a large cloud of black smoke coming from the island ," Trooper Patrick Baldwin, Michigan State Police investigator said.
F irst responders rushed to the home and found the area on fire and heard a hiss coming from the propane tank.
W hich makes investigators believe that was the main reason the home exploded.
They think propane might have leaked into the basement and was ignited by a pilot light.
Investigators are now looking for where the explosion happened in the house and they are doing an autopsy to identify the body.

For many of us old enough to remember, the early days of life online had little to do with the internet. Before we browsed the open web, we dialed into Prodigy or CompuServe or AOL with a 1400-baud telephone modem.
Once connected to a particular service, we used its proprietary software to play inside its members-only club, and we couldn't visit any other service. We lacked a certain amount of freedom.
One of my earliest cyber-memories: getting my mom's AOL account suspended by the moderator of a chat room I was trolling. By today's standards, such a tightly controlled experience seems quaint—and pretty silly. But that early-'90s scenario could very well repeat itself today, with the so-called Internet of Things.
Yes, this vast array of smart devices will all be connected to the public internet, but they may already be evolving in a way where they can't all talk to each other.
In the rush to compete in the digital age, a successful digital transformation is essential, but many organizations are setting themselves up for failure. There's a common misconception that the process is just about technology, but it's not. It's about your business. It shouldn't be treated as an isolated IT project; it should be driven by business needs with the committed involvement of a range of stakeholders.

The cloud era has reached the stage where it is no longer a question of whether a company should migrate, but when. Enterprises have embraced the outsourcing of where their various applications are stored and who manages them, saving significant investment along the way. Plus, the cloud has become a defining competitive edge. Companies that fail to successfully adapt risk failure. The media, of course, continues to extol the virtues of the cloud, including how easy it is to get there. Migrating...

This screen was delivered within 2 days - very quick, great packaging, great communications from laptopscreenonline - really impressed with that for a start.
I couldnt resist fitting it last night - a 20 minute job requiring only a phillips screwdriver and a gentle touch on the cinnectors (only 2).
WOW! seriously impressed with the screen quality - really clear, crisp image - lovely and bright - watching videos on this was a revelation on this laptop.
Top marks - would recommend both product and company - cheapest price I found on the web also.

We love the Stardust! It's mid century modern, and funky. It's very comfortable, and within walking distance to everything in Wallace.
Great value!
Friendly staff! Older hotel but clean.
Gym only open for limited hours.
I showed as scheduled. The door to the hotel was locked, I had to get a bartender in a local business to call the owner. Owner showed up 15 minutes later and told me that no children were allowed, and since I had two kids with me I was refused a room.
Great staff, location and period architecture and decor.
This was a very quaint, period decorated hotel. The owner is very friendly and we really enjoyed our stay. Wifi is available, but don't expect a tv in most of the rooms, which made for a peaceful evening for us.
It was in a beautiful setting, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating.
The only complaint is it got a little hot for sleeping, as our room was on the upper floor.
Our host, the owner, was superb. We were allowed to spread out from our room. The balcony was in the sun. We could use the household refrigerator, microwave, etc. Good flatscreen TV. Most wonderful asparagus, baby spinach, goat cheese omelet for breakfast
The size of the suite; decent breakfast and close to Silver Mountain
The bedroom was really plain jane and the chemicals in the pool were so strong, I couldn't open my eyes for 15 minutes and had to rush back to my room to flush them in the shower
Good points: low cost, sheets and pillows clean, staff friendly, air conditioner worked well, newer windows, quiet, several restaurants nearby.
Bad points: stains on box spring looked like blood or poop, and that's a difficult image to get out of my head when getting into bed. Bed was noisy and quite hard (but I liked it, hubbie didn't). Rusty overflow in sink.
Price was about the only positive, proving once again that you get what you pay for.
Place seemed like a dirty, cheap apartment complex. People smoking everywhere, tailgating and drinking beer in the parking lot. Room was stiflingly hot and smelled pretty bad when we got there. Window crank was broken, TV was sliding off of wall mount. Just seemed very trashy. I do not recommend this place.

Zach LaVine scored 35 points and the top-ranked Cougars withstood a 13-5 finishing run by the No. 8 Eagles for a KingCo 4A victory.
ISSAQUAH — Perusing the stat sheet afterward, top-ranked Bothell looked unbeatable in many categories.
Zach LaVine had poured in 35 points and the Cougars shot 53 percent, making seven three-pointers.
But Bothell showed vulnerability against Issaquah's full-court pressure before escaping with a 67-64 KingCo 4A boys basketball victory over the No. 8 Eagles Tuesday night.
Bothell led by as many as 13, and was still ahead by 11 with 2:12 showing. The Cougars (6-0 overall, 5-0 league) didn't seal the win until Ty Gibson's desperation three-pointer for Issaquah at the buzzer fell well short.

"That was very scary at the end, and we need to get a little bit better controlling the ball," said LaVine, who sank 14 of 21 shots, including 4 of 10 three-point attempts.
"They doubled me on the inbounds. I made a couple dumb plays," he said. "I made a wrong pass and couple times I should've passed the ball to an open player. We've just got to get better working on the press and we'll be good."
Bothell's lineup includes three future Division 1 players in seniors LaVine (UCLA) and Perrion Callandret (Idaho) and junior Josh Martin, a Seattle Prep transfer who already has offers from Washington and Gonzaga.
There is clearly a target on the Cougars and LaVine.
"Every night's going to be everyone's best game," he said.
Aaron Wilks' rebound basket off a rare LaVine miss pushed Bothell's lead to 58-48 with 4:28 showing, but the Eagles (4-2, 2-2) weren't done.
Issaquah closed the game on a 13-5 burst, thanks to some backcourt steals and easy baskets. After Martin missed the front of a one-and-one, Gibson's three-pointer with 42 seconds left cut the margin to 64-60.
Callandret sank two free throws with 28.3 seconds left for a 66-60 cushion, but the Eagles' Ryan Sexton (11 points) drained a three-pointer and converted a free throw for a four-point play after being fouled with 17 seconds showing.
LaVine made the second of two foul shots with 15.1 seconds to go before Gibson's last-ditch trey.
"Every night it's the opponents' championship game," Bothell coach Ron Bollinger said. "They want to knock you off. It's kind of fun."
"We didn't execute and we didn't hit our free throws," Bollinger added. "When you miss the front end of three one-and-ones in a row, you're let a good team back in it. We're learning to play together in this environment.
"The good thing is you get to learn and you won."
Gibson led Issaquah with 18 points and four assists, and Brian Watson added 16 points.
Bothell's Martin finished with 10 points and nine rebounds. Callandret finished with 12 points and three assists despite sitting with foul trouble.
Bothell's previous closest call came in last Friday's 57-49 nonleague win over Bellevue. The Cougars had won their first four games by an average of 24.5 points.

BEND, Ore. (AP) — A county land-use board cut most of the land eligible for resort development in a Central Oregon boom town that has been hit hard by the Great Recession.
The Deschutes County Commission voted Monday to cut land available for development from 112,000 acres to 22,000 acres, the Bend Bulletin reported (http://bit.ly/to2yRe ).
Opponents have 21 days to appeal to the state Land Use Board of Appeals.
The county has the most destination resorts of any county in the state.
Land-use advocate attorney Paul Dewey says there are thousands of vacant lots in Central Oregon available for resort development, and says the county didn't need to add more.
County planners have worked on the resort map changes since 2008.
Projected population growth in Bend has dropped off significantly since the recession.

Only way is jungle as TOWIE's Mark Wright joins I'm A Celebrity
10:38 10 November 2011
The Only Way Is Essex's Mark Wright is one of the stars (that word used in the loosest possible terms) taking on the jungle challenge in the new series of un-reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Other Londoners among the 10 contestants include Emmerdale actress Lorraine Chase and former athlete Fatima Whitbread.
The rest of the cast comprises Corrie's Antony Cotton, comedian Freddie Starr, US actress Stefanie Powers, McFly bassist Dougie Poynter, ex-jockey Willie Carson, TV personality Jessica-Jane Clement and actress Crissy Rock.
Wright, who has now left ITV2 hit The Only Way Is Essex, reckoned taking part in I'm A Celebrity would show him in a new light.
"It's a great new challenge for me and I hope people will see me other than just the guy off Towie," said the 24-year-old.
Chase said she wanted to take part to challenge herself as she got older.
"I turned 60 this year and I really felt I needed to do something to stretch myself and get braver," said the former model who found fame in 1970s Campari ads and later starred in sitcom The Other 'Arf.
"I have always wanted to learn how to ride a motorbike and go backpacking, but the treadmill of life has meant that I just haven't organised it myself."
The show returns on Sunday with the contestants all heading into the Australian jungle to face an array of bugs and challenges over the next three weeks.

American Poetry Slam Idol
Tucked under the surface of downtown St. Paul like a speakeasy, the Artists' Quarter is more than a great bar and jazz club. It's also home to some of the most skilled and energetic spoken-word artists in the metro. This season's national slam team was chosen last month in a tough-fought war of similes and alliteration, but the Soap Boxers aren't missing a beat. This time around, their monthly slam takes its satirical template from that most hated national institution, American Idol. Local celebrity judges promise immediate, biting feedback for the enjoyment of the audience, though as usual the actual point judging will be in the hands of five random (usually buzzed) audience members. The competition happens in three rounds: In round one, the poets perform their worst poem as badly as possible, accompanied by ludicrous costumes and melodrama. The second round, the hopefuls cover a poem by another poet, and in the third and final round, they'll perform their best poem as well as possible. Unlike the subdued poetry readings of the Beatnik stereotype, the Soap Boxing audiences are loud, opinionated, and enjoyably obnoxious, encouraged mischievously by host and organizer Matthew Rucker. So come prepared to holler and stamp your feet—we promise you'll enjoy these Idols more than the formulaic pap of Aiken or Underwood. 18+.

Playmaker flattered by Arsenal, Chelsea, Man Utd & Spurs interest
15:43 03 June 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Fulham transfer news: Mousa Dembele is happy at Craven Cottage but is also pleased with the interest shown in him
Fulham star Mousa Dembele is flattered by the reported interest shown in him by Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham.
The Belgian featured in 47 games for club and country, scoring twice and his performances have caught the attention of the Premier League giants with the Blues and the Red Devils apparently leading the chase ahead of the Gunners and Spurs.
"Of course, it's normal [to be flattered] - they are big teams," he said.
"But I'm very happy at Fulham, so I'm not in a hurry.
"In the end, we will see what's good for me."

Write to a writable file-stream that swaps out it's underlying file resources according to swapper and namer functions
Write to a writable file-stream that swaps out it's underlying file resources according to swapper and naming functions. This can be used for a persistent log or data stream - just stream to it 24/7 and let it swap out to new files whenever you trigger it to.
Under-the-hood the function
swapper is repeatedly called every
tdelta milliseconds and its return value is checked against the previous value. When the return value changes, the underlying file resource being written to is swapped out with a new name given by
namer. In this way the fileswap could be controlled by anything, such as time, network or CPU heat. So long as the
swapper function is syncronous! Though, async functionality can be added.
var swapStream = require'../.'var RandomStream = require'random-stream' var options = namer : namer swapper : swapper tdelta : 1000 // in milliseconds path : "." fsops : flags: "a" encoding: "utf8" var ss = swapStreamoptions RandomStreampipess return "t-" + getSecond + "-" + getMinute return MathfloorparseIntgetSecond / 5 var d = return '0' + dgetMinutes slice-2 var d = return '0' + dgetSeconds slice-2
this will produce the files full of random junk
t-23-07 t-28-07 t-33-07 t-38-07 t-43-07
every five seconds as determined by
Other useful ideas for
swapper would be a function that returns a different value every day:
var d = return dgetUTCDate
Here the rates are juiced so that
tdelta, the rate we compare
swapper values, is set for 20 milliseconds.
swapper is set to change the underlying file resource every 100 milliseconds and writes are made every millisecond. A numerical series is written to the files and summed. This sum should
== the sum actually written to disk.
var swapStream = require'../.' var options = namer : namer swapper : swapper tdelta : 20 path : "." fsops : flags: "a" encoding: "utf8" var ss = swapStreamoptions var iviv = setIntervalwriteDigitsss 0 1 return "t-" + getMillisecond + "-" + getSecond return MathfloorparseIntgetMillisecond / 100 var d = return '00' + dgetMilliseconds slice-3 var d = return '0' + dgetSeconds slice-2 return sswritecount++ + "\n" if count === 200 clearIntervaliv var sum = 0 for var i = 0; i < 200; i++ sum += i console.log"sum should ==" sum processexit
which outputs
sum should == 19900
then doing a:
>>cat t* | awk '{ sum+=$1} END {print sum}'
The options object has the following fields
Called to name the new file. This function is called everytime the internal swapper is triggered. The function should return a string.
Called every
tdelta milliseconds and compared to the previous return value of
swapper. If it is different, a new file resource is contructed with name supplied by
The delay time for checking the
swapper states.
Optional path parameter for creating new files.
options passed to

Home > Cobra Microfiber Towels & Tools > Yellow All Purpose Microfiber Towels 3 Pack
Addthis code goes here.
item description:
Pick up All Purpose Microfiber Towels in all the available colors to color-code your detailing towels for different detailing jobs! This will prevent cross-contamination and give you a huge supply of quality Cobra microfiber!
Here's a great opportunity to stock up on microfiber towels! Sold in bundles of 6 or 12, these towels will perform nearly every detailing and cleaning job in your vehicle, garage, or home. With an 80/20 blend, these All Purpose Towels are perfectly suited to clean and polish any surface. The value of these towels can't be beat!
A word about microfiber: for as long as it's been in existence, the best microfiber has come from Korea because a handful of companies there have the machine necessary to split the individual fibers. However, with the addition of our Cobra Super-Plush Deluxe Towel, we discovered that Chinese manufacturing has made substantial progress. The All Purpose Towels are made entirely in China and we're very pleased with their quality. Not only do they share Cobra's distinctive split-weave, they are just as safe on the surfaces of your vehicle. The durability of the Korean-made towels is unmatched, but I've found at least a dozen uses for my All Purpose Towels.
These All Purpose Towels are an essential part of my microfiber collection. They are the towels I reach for when I need to dry my wheels after cleaning or wipe down my door jambs. I like to use microfiber for every detailing job on account of its cleaning ability, but some, like the Miracle Towel, are better suited for buffing the paint and glass. That's where the All Purpose towels come in. They give me the amazing cleaning properties of microfiber and I can save my buffing towels for paint care.
All Purpose Towels are superior to terry cloth in softness, durability, and absorbency. These towels have a split weave and are safe on any surface. We sell these towels in bulk so you always have plenty on hand.
Reserve your Miracle Towels for buffing – the All Purpose Towels will do the rest. All Purpose Microfiber Towels give you all the benefits of microfiber at a special bulk price that makes them an essential addition to your towel collection.

A true opening week of high school football
It's opening week of high school football teams, including Irvine, Beckman, Northwood and Woodbridge.
University and Crean Lutheran got a head start on everybody else last week with zero week games.
This is, if you haven't heard, the earliest start for high school football because of an added regional state bowl game this year.
So, we're presenting our annual Irvine World News football issue on Thursday. We hope you will check it out.
We would like to thank the coaches of all the schools who helped provide us with information and the booster clubs who provided mug shots which we're publishing in this issue.
With that, it's time for more kick-offs!
There are two games Thursday. Irvine hosts Rosemead and Beckman faces Santa Ana Valley at the Santa Ana Bowl, both at 7 p.m. On Friday night, University (0-1) hosts Segerstrom (1-0) at Irvine Stadium and Northwood plays Gahr at Cerritos College at 7. Woodbridge opens at Lancaster at 7:30 p.m.
Irvine coach Erik Terry said he expects a "light crowd as we do not begin school until Wednesday, Sept. 5."
Woodbridge is the pre-season pick to win the Pacific Coast League in a vote of league coaches. Corona del Mar, the defending Southern Division champion, was picked second, Beckman third, Irvine fourth, Northwood fifth and University sixth.
"This league is so close, we're all within a touchdown of each other," Woodbridge Coach Rick Gibson said. "It's a crapshoot who is going to win. I don't know that there is someone who is going to run away with this. I think everybody has a shot. Last I checked, Beckman and Corona del Mar were in the finals. You've got to knock those guys off first."
We will again be picking the high school football games this week. Brent Shaver had the edge last year. For a look at our picks, please check out Thursday's football edition in the Irvine World News.

Swiss Bliss: Pendrel and Kulhavy Win XC World Titles
Maja Wloszczowska Charges

Polish rider Maja Wloszczowska came on strong at the end of the World Cup season. At the final race, she charged through the Dolomites in Val di Sole, Italy, and nearly caught race winner Catharine Pendrel. Her strong form continued at the World Championships in Champery, and she came out swinging again. However, a flat cost her valuable time and a shot at victory.

Three storage sheds were destroyed in two separate fires Wednesday in Amboy and La Center.
At 1:20 p.m., two storage sheds caught fire at 42510 N.E. 256th Ave. in Amboy. The detached storage sheds, estimated to be about 10 feet by 12 feet, and 8 feet apart with a breezeway roof between them, were engulfed in flames when crews from Fire District 10 arrived with an engine and a water tender, said Chief Gordon Brooks.
Firefighters got the fire under control in 20 minutes, but sheds and their contents were destroyed. Brooks said one shed had been full of gardening equipment, while the other was used as a general storage shed.
The cause has not been determined, and the Clark County Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the fire. However, Brooks said it appears to be an accidental fire caused by gardening chemicals.
Many outdoor gardening and housing materials are highly flammable, such as oil-based paints, wood stains, linseed oil, some weed-killers, garden fungicides and fertilizers. Brooks recommends storing flammable materials in tightly sealed containers.
Later in the day, at 5:43 p.m., a storage shed caught fire at 2011 N.E. 373rd St. in La Center. When firefighters arrived, the tin roof of the shed had already caved in from the flames, said Battalion Chief Tim Dawdy, spokesman for Clark County Fire & Rescue. Firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to other buildings, but the shed and its contents were destroyed.
The shed was full of the homeowner's hobby equipment and sporting goods.
The fire marshal's office is investigating the cause of the fire.

New version of Little Ones pull ups are inferior, they leak easily during the night and the blue band at the side causes a rash if any part of it comes into contact with the skin. I used to buy this brand on a regular basis, was very happy with it, but no longer since this new version came out.

Viewpoint: 2-Way Authentication Needed for Safety
Klein, Andrea, American Banker
Consumers who do not feel safe online are increasingly steering clear of Internet banking sites and shutting out an important channel for financial services providers to expand their customer relationships.
The industry research firm Gartner Inc. estimates that almost nine million adults in the United States have stopped banking online and that another 23.7 million decline to start out of security concerns.
The continual spread of online scams - and the reality that people are increasingly wary of online banking channels - raise the stakes for banks to protect customers and themselves from increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
In the past year, customers at several of the world's largest banks have fallen victim to "man-in-the-middle," or MITM, identity theft schemes that have shaken customer confidence in online banking and battered bank reputations. As the term implies, identity thieves position themselves "in the middle" of sensitive communications between customers and banks in order to steal account and other personal information.
In one MITM scheme last summer involving a large U.S. banking company, the thieves sent seemingly authentic e-mails asking customers to verify their account information. The e-mails directed customers to a spoofed bank Web site that seemed legitimate but actually redirected the customers to a fake Web site set up by a hacker in Russia.
In redirecting customers to the spoof site (also known as "pharming") the hacker was positioned to intercept user password/account information and potentially to use the records in fraudulent transactions or as goods for sale to other criminals. Criminals also use MITM Web sites to read, insert, and change messages between the bank and its customers.
These attacks spotlight the shortcomings of secure socket layer protocol and multifactor authentication security measures that many financial institutions have adopted. These security measures are limited because they only require that the bank and customer trust one another and do not provide the added assurances required to thwart MITM or related schemes.
Two-factor authentication also comes up short in shielding banks and their customers from MITM attacks. The two-factor authentication model uses an online password and an additional form of authentication (such as an access card) for online security. This approach authenticates users but does not enable them to confirm that they are communicating with legitimate online sites.
For example, fraudsters can create pharming sites that present their own credentials for encrypted sessions to fool users (and their PC/client-based computer security systems) into thinking they are connected to legitimate sites. The users then enter password and personal information that is intercepted on the pharming site.
Other narrow security safeguards - such as images that each user selects as a unique identifier when logging in - are ineffective against MITM. Online banks use a Web browser cookie (which serves as a small software identification tag) downloaded on a user's computer to match the user and the appropriate image. …

So – Summer's here. Sort of. From time-to-time. When it's not flooding or what-have-you. With this in mind, Professor Cornelius Ampleforth has turned his attention to perhaps the most quintessentially British drink that there is – the Summer Fruit Cup. Now – it's worth noting that there are several other cups on the market, from the Ubiquitous Pimm's, through several distillers' own recipes (Chase is rather good – coming soon – watch this space) to the really rather excellent Sipsmith. There was one thing that the Professor had deemed to be missing from all of these concoctions though – pure, distilled Madness*. More...

Well, he's been at it again.
We try to rein him in from time to time, but the man just won't listen. After his last couple of excursions into the world of gin - a Sloe Gin made with half a pound of sloes per bottle, and an Old Tom which I'm reasonably sure he made just because he likes drinking Martinezzes (Martinez? Martinezs? Martiniz?), he's been at it again with this, a cask-aged offering made using the superb Bathtub Gin as the base.
The Professor has acquired a stock of Octave casks (only 50 litres capacity as opposed to the more usual 250 litre hogshead) which have been previously used to store whisky (and prior to that, either Sherry, or Bourbon) for his newest creation. This means that in comparison to other cask-aged gins, there is a significantly higher surface area to volume ratio (roughly double as I'm sure you've all worked out by now). This, in turn, means that the gin will interact with the cask faster, making the 6-months-ish that the gin spends in cask lends a fantastic amount of flavour to the gin.
The casks used to store and mature the Gin are used a maximum of twice, before being retired and used as garden furniture / plant pots / props in a massive game of real-life Donkey Kong I'm planning for the warehouse staff in a couple of weeks. Not the last one. Definitely not that.

It really only struck me as I was trying to explain to a (non-whisky-loving) friend the weekend after this event that I was, to all intents and purposes talking in tongues. "Oh yes – well earlier in the week, I went to a Monkey Shoulder event at Callooh Callay" could just as easily have been "Oh yes – well earlier in the week, I went to a Badger Scapula event at Lorks a Lawdy". Nonsense. Just nonsense.
Anyway – muggle-confusing industry Jargon aside, I've been asked by a few people to jot down the recipes and photos from the evening, as it was by all accounts one of the best whisky cocktail events I've ever been to.

Okay – I'm not going to lie – it's busy around here at the moment. Anyone would think that there's some kind of holiday impending…
Anyway, it turns out that despite the craziness of the 'tide, my wife's sister wasn't prepared to move her Hen Party back by a couple of weeks to accommodate the fact that I'd promised to develop a bespoke cocktail for them, and was quite busy at the moment. Something to do with already having booked her plane tickets over from Australia or something. Selfish if you ask me…
Anyway – yesterday evening, I finally settled in to make a cocktail both sufficiently special for the event, but which also reflected the turning season, and seeking to get the most out of our new Bathtub Gin.

Every year on the 5th of November here in the UK we set off fireworks and burn an effigy of a man who tried to overthrow a king who enforced religious oppression against Catholics living in England. To an outsider, Guy Fawkes night looks like an insane, cult-like pagan ritual, but really it's just about merriment, the partaking of yummy winter cocktails, and watching fireworks in awe and wonderment with their loud noises and pretty colours (we're easily amused).

I've long held up Bushmills 10yo as one of my all-time favourite Irish Whiskeys, predominantly because it has such an incredibly clear and obvious flavour component within it, that of Nectarine.
In fact, I can be more specific than that. It's the taste of the little pieces of Nectarine that are present in yoghurt. I can go further than that, too if you like – it was the standard range of Safeways (before they got eaten by Morrisons) yoghurts available in the late 1980s. Only available as a 4-pack with Strawberry, Peach Melba, and Vanilla I believe (seriously - who eats vanilla yoghurt?). More...

Trump's Rolling Bluster
WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump looked like a fool and a fraud on Sunday. But what else is new?

Sanders Is Playing With Fire
WASHINGTON -- Bernie Sanders is playing a dangerous game. If he and his campaign continue their scorched-earth attacks against the Democratic Party, they will succeed only in one thing: electing Donald Trump as president.
I say this as someone who shares much of Sanders' political philosophy; I too, for example, see health care as a basic right...Read more
The Dangerous Insecurity Of Donald Trump
WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump's opponents in the primaries were right to call him a con artist, a narcissist and a pathological liar. Just ask "John Miller."
That's one of the names Trump used with journalists to burnish his status as a bold-faced Manhattan celebrity; he also called himself "John Barron." Both personae were supposedly publicists ...Read more
The GOP's Veil of Unity
WASHINGTON -- Save us all the faux drama. We already know how this star-crossed courtship is going to end: House Speaker Paul Ryan will decide that Donald Trump isn't such an ogre after all, and they'll live unhappily ever after.
Ryan will be unhappy, at least. Trump has stolen his party, and there's nothing Ryan can do in the short term to get...Read more
Trump Refutes Trump
WASHINGTON -- How do you nail a blob of mercury to the wall? That's a problem the Democratic nominee -- likely Hillary Clinton -- will have to solve in running against Donald Trump, most of whose positions on major issues are, shall we say, elusive.
I say "most" because Trump has been steadfast on three of his most nonsensical promises: banning...Read more
Trump's Sacking Of The GOP
WASHINGTON -- The Republican Party this week is like fifth-century Rome must have been after the Visigoths stormed the city's gates. Anarchy and confusion reign, there is the sound of anguished wailing, and political leaders are making an urgent calculation: Resistance or collaboration?
The suddenness of Donald Trump's final victory over the ...Read more
Trump Fills A Vacuum Left By The GOP
WASHINGTON -- The Donald Trump rampage -- still hard to believe, after nearly a year -- is a symptom of something deeper and more profound: the Republican Party's slide into complete incoherence.

A Clinton-Warren Ticket?
WASHINGTON -- Running mates? It's not even May, and already we're talking running mates? Then let me toss Elizabeth Warren's name into the mix.

Trump Is No Match For This Tag Team
WASHINGTON -- Don't call it strategy, call it strategery: Ted Cruz and John Kasich are going to cooperate to deny Donald Trump the Republican nomination. Also, I don't know, maybe a hurricane will dishevel Trump's comb-over and reveal his bald pate, causing such mortification that he quits the race. Or maybe there will be an earthquake next week...Read more
Tubman Fits The Bill
WASHINGTON -- Conservatives should be delighted that Harriet Tubman's likeness will grace the $20 bill. She was a Republican, after all, and a pious Christian. And she routinely exercised her Second Amendment right to carry a gun, which she was ready to use against anyone who stood in her way -- or any fugitive slave having second thoughts. On ...Read more
Too Late To Turn Back Trump
WASHINGTON -- For decades, the Republican Party gave voters the impression that they get to pick the presidential nominee. The much-weakened GOP establishment theoretically has the power to choose someone else -- but not, I believe, the strength of purpose to do it.
The author of this dilemma is, of course, Donald Trump. After a two-week pause ...Read more
Clinton-Sanders Turns Testy
WASHINGTON -- The Democratic nominee for president will be running against a political novice who is widely despised, or a senator so unpopular that only two of his colleagues support him, or a governor far too moderate for his party's hard-line base, or someone else chosen at a bitterly contested convention. For Hillary Clinton or Bernie ...Read more
Reports Of Trump's Demise Are Premature
WASHINGTON -- Not so fast, everybody. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, Wisconsin will not be the end of Donald Trump. It will not even be the beginning of the end. But it might be the end of the beginning.
To be sure, Trump had a terrible, horrible, atrocious week. But imagine the worst-case scenario for him: He wins none of Wisconsin's 42 ...Read more
In Trump's Shadow Is An Epic Democratic Contest
WASHINGTON -- If not for a certain Manhattan billionaire, Bernie Sanders' surprising strength and Hillary Clinton's relative weakness would be the big political story of the year.
Democrats are fortunate that bloody insurrection is roiling the Republican Party. Clinton -- the likely Democratic nominee -- will almost surely face either Donald ...Read more
The Media Did Not Create The Trump Phenomenon
WASHINGTON -- One of the more absurd things being said about the Donald Trump phenomenon is that the media created it. For the record, we didn't.
First of all, there is no "we." The news media operate in what should be every conservative ideologue's dream environment: an unfettered free market. Outlets compete every day -- actually, in the ...Read more
Are These The Words Of A President?
WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump's ignorance of government policy, both foreign and domestic, is breathtaking. The Republican Party is likely to nominate for president a man who appears to know next to nothing about the issues that would confront him in the job.
Such a sweeping condemnation may sound unfair. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump were ...Read more
Obama's Visit Will Hasten Cuba's Freedom
WASHINGTON -- The historic visit of a sitting U.S. president to Havana -- which should have come a half-century sooner -- will almost surely hasten the day when Cubans are free from the Castro government's suffocating repression.
President Obama's whirlwind trip is the culmination of his common-sense revamping of U.S. policy toward Cuba. One ...Read more
Stop Betting On Trump To Lose
WASHINGTON -- We can no longer pretend this isn't happening. Donald Trump will very likely be the Republican nominee for president, and there is a nonzero chance he could win in November.
Trump won at least four of the primary contests Tuesday, including winner-take-all Florida. If you count Missouri, where he seems to have beaten Ted Cruz by a...Read more
The Dawn Of The Resistance?
WASHINGTON -- Desperate times call for desperate measures. The organized protest in Chicago that led Donald Trump to cancel a planned rally Friday may someday be remembered as the Dawn of the Resistance.
Trump has fueled his campaign's rise with the angriest and most divisive political rhetoric this nation has heard since the days of George ...Read more
Only The Voters Can Stop Trump Now
WASHINGTON -- We the people are going to have to save ourselves from Donald Trump, because politicians don't seem up to the task.
For the big-haired billionaire it was another week, another romp. In winning three of the four states up for grabs Tuesday, Trump demonstrated once again the weaknesses of his rivals. Ted Cruz, whose core support is ...Read more
