Tony Romo showed a bit of post-split wear and tear over the weekend.
Jessica Simpson's former beau scored second place to former major league baseball player Rick Rhoden at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Tahoe.
Could the breakup be affecting the quarterback's game?
Romo insists he's working hard to stay focused. "The more stuff you've got in your mind, probably the less successful you're going to be," he told PEOPLE. "So the only thing I think about is the task at hand. When you let your mind wander or think about other things, you're setting yourself up for failure. So I just try to stay focused. I've done a pretty good job of that this week."
But one friend begs to differ, telling PEOPLE the pro-athlete is "emotionally drained" in a week that included his public split and the tournament.
Despite his emotional week, Romo still had fun and let off steam, say friends.
"He's got real good game," said Rhoden, who noted Romo "got a little wild off the tee on some shots, which cost him." Still, "he's a good guy. He's a guy that's fun to be around and play with."
Romo's female fans wholeheartedly agree.
Both Friday and Saturday, girls lined the 17th and 18th holes waving handmade signs for the football player, one even yelling, "We don't like that Barbie either!" Romo showed no reaction to that statement.
The tournament capped off a 6-day stay in Tahoe for Romo that included a little gambling and some partying with friends and, yes, girls. "He went out to the lake with a few friends and some girls. They were all drinking and partying on a boat for a couple hours," says one source.
Meanwhile, Simpson was to make an appearance at a party for pal Christina Milian on Saturday night but was a no-show. A source close to the singer says she's at home with family and friends taking it easy.
"Jess is okay … there have been easier days and harder days. Even though she knows this is the right thing, breakups are always hard."
Tony Romo Is 'Emotionally Drained,' Says Pal

Saturday, January 19, 2013
An officer watched a driver roll by with no seat belt on. And then, to make matters worse, the driver failed to yield the right of way when making a turn and almost caused a head on collision.
The officer pulled the driver over and smelled an alcoholic beverage on the man's breath.
The report said his eyes were watery and glazed and he had slurred speech.
He agreed to do some field sobriety tests to determine if he was okay to drive, the report said.
He did not successfully pass any of the tests and was about to be arrested for DUI, but his wife arrived on the scene while the officer was filling out the paperwork. She had been driven up by a neighbor.
The officer explained to her what was going on and she said she had called the police the day before and they told her they couldn't do anything. Then she became irate with the officers on the scene. She as asked nicely to leave the scene and she got back into the car she arrived in. She did not leave however and was warned not to interfere with a police investigation. She then flipped off her husband and started yelling profanity at him, according to the report.
The suspect was placed in the police car so the wife could not communicate with him anymore. But the wife kept cussing. she was finally arrested for disorderly conduct and they both went to jail.

quote: I see a big difference in my usage pattern versus my 22-year-old daughter's pattern.
quote: In 2011, only 3.2% of devices accessing the network were Android and so far in 2013, Android accounted for 16% of usage.
quote: That being said though - there ARE advantages to using the same of similiar devices that your friends and/or peers use ...
quote: Apple has ignored their core group of high end power users for a couple of years now. History has shown that this strategy can have disastrous results, as the halo effect fades and high end users find alternatives. Apple should release a NEW Mac Pro with the latest tech and a 17" Macbook Pro with ALL the bells and whistles. Power users do not want to hear that most people don't need blur ray or 16gb of ram is more than enough. Audio visual pros need more. Apple is rich enough and I hope smart enough not to abandon these long time customers, who will happily spend many thousands on their computers.
quote: Tablets are the most preferred device connecting to its network at 35 percent, followed by laptop at 33 percent and smartphones at 33 percent.
quote: 84% of all devices that connect to the Gogo network during the flight run iOS while 16% use Android.
quote: Looks like the Apple fanboys just can't handle the truth.Apple products are more expensive - factApple users spend more on apps - factPeople generally buy Android phones/tablets because they are less expensive.People who are looking for cheaper products are less likely to spend even more money on apps or expensive wireless service on a plane.
quote: Marketshare is a precursor to revenue and profits.
quote: For proof of this, look at the 'loss leader' business model of the ps3 and xbox360. For years, both Sony and MS bent over backwards to establish market share, because marketshare is what it's all about . Both of those companies established this business model because they knew that profits flow from market share, eventually.
quote: Actually Tony, this (like most of your past arguments" needs to be retired as well. The latest #'s are out and now Android has surpassed IOS in usage as well.http://www.itechpost.com/articles/6320/20130309/an...
quote: All that has changed now that Androids make up an astonishing 37 percent of the usage share in comparison to Apple's 25 percent share.
quote: Fast-forward a few months later and Android's usage share has reached 37%, far above Apple's approximate 25% share.
quote: Why is this? I believe it's because Apple users tend to be less technical, less inclined to require good value for the money they spend, and more likely to derive enjoyment out of the fact that they can take their device - which they are proud of - and use it from 30,000 feet. The wonderment of being able to do that makes it worth it for them.
quote: After all, what is the point in owning an Apple device if you can't be seen in public using an Apple device. It's about the status more than the functionality.
quote: Tony will never get it. It's not about the money the company or app developers make, its about what YOU get as the consumer. With Android, you get far more, period. If you are an investor, Apple is definitely doing well... Well, until the latter half of last year anyhow ;)
quote: I have had to buy only one charger and car adapter which is $5-$15. Apple users, buy dozens of different chargers that cost $30-$100 each, but wait, they have to buy this all over again if they switched to the new iPhone5. [...] And to think, my example is only phone chargers.

The days are quickly approaching for the British upheaval and coup of The Daily Show with John Oliver— shit, I mean Jon Stewart. Stewart is taking a break from the show to direct Rosewater, a dramatic adaptation of the memoir And Then They Came For Me: A Family's Story of Love, Captivity and Survival, which tells the life story of Canadian-Iranian reporter Maziar Bahari. Oliver's temporary hosting gig begins this coming Monday, June 10.
Already a legend on the satirical news program, Oliver is presented with a new challenge on the Comedy Central production: how to conduct an interview without unabashedly mocking or deriding the interviewee. To battle with his nervousness, and in a dire attempt to seek out advice, last night, Oliver visited David Letterman, who presented him with some veteran moves.

You could crave beautiful things that may make you more likely to indulge your yearnings today. Even though it is natural to want to either acquire or possess things that appeal to you, you may wish to dig more deeply into what you are really longing for. If, for example, you think that something may make you smarter, happier, or more beautiful, your need might be the result of something that you are not giving yourself. Perhaps before you indulge your desire, you can take a few minutes and ask yourself the question, "What do I really want in life?" Then write down the first thing that comes to your mind without censoring or judging yourself. After doing this, you might want to treat yourself to something simple that will make you feel healthier about yourself such as a long healing bath, a walking meditation, or an invigorating workout.
Finding nurturing ways to pamper ourselves will make us feel happier about our lives. It is common that our longing for things that look good or that we think will make us look good is really an indication that we aren't truly taking care of ourselves, for when we take care of ourselves there is really nothing we lack. Understanding this helps us find happiness within and look for more positive ways to make ourselves feel good. Realizing that true delight comes from within will make it easier for you to indulge the needs of your spirit today.

Renewable Energy
Renewable energy is likely the most intuitive response to the climate challenge due to the technologies' zero-emission qualities. It is a very diverse group of technologies including biomass, solar energy, wind, hydro, geothermal and tidal energy.
Biomass is a hugely diverse group of projects. It encompasses biofuels, energy production from biomass waste, gasification and utilisation of liquid wastes such as manure. It accounts for approximately 15% of global primary energy use and 38% of the primary energy use in developing countries.
Harnessing the sun's energy is less diverse and succeeds in two distinct ways. Solar thermal energy exploits solar energy for heat production, either at low temperatures commonly used in households, or high temperatures for steam and power production. Photovoltaic (PVs) is generating electric power by using solar cells to directly convert energy from the sun into electricity.
The installation of wind turbines continues to accelerate, while turbines are growing in size and increasingly moving to sea in off-shore installations. Currently, 80 countries use wind for power production reaching close to 2% of the world's electricity.
Geothermal energy is increasing rapidly, though still at a significantly lower level than wind energy, while hydro projects – beyond doubt the oldest form of renewable energy – supply 20% of world electricity through dams or run-of-the-river projects.
Lastly, and much less mature, is the technology for utilisation of tidal forces. In places with shallow waters, narrow fiords or inlets, the difference between high and low tide can be as much as 20 metres. Such places have tremendous forces that can be exploited for energy production.
CDM projects are found in all of the following categories:
The CDM project is a run-of-river hydropower plant, located north east of Peru's capital city of Lima at 1,985 meters above sea level in the basin of the Blanco River (Santa Cruz) in the district of Colcas. The plant will have an installed capacity of 5.9 megawatts and a projected yearly average generation of 35,827 megawatt hours. The objective of the Santa Cruz I Hydroelectric Power Plant is renewable electricity generation to be supplied to the Peruvian National Inter-connected Electric Grid.

The Red Wings' trading history of late hasn't been spectacular, from Bertuzzi and Calder to the inestimable Robert Lang, but on deadline day, let's hope that Wings GM Ken Holland encounters a little bit of "Murphy's law"--or, in Larry Murphy's case, luck. SI's Al Muir ranks the Wings' acquisition of Larry Murphy as the fourth-biggest fleecing in trade deadline history:
February 22, Sports Illustrated: Toronto trades Larry Murphy to Detroit for future considerations (March 18, 1997):
The Leafs looked at this deal as a tender mercy. The aging Murphy had become a favorite target of the local boo-birds, and his minutes were dwindling as his effectiveness declined. But the deal to Detroit added wings to his feet, as well as to his sweater, and he became an integral part of back-to-back Cup winners.
The Leafs side of the deal? They agreed to pay part of Murphy's salary. Hard to believe that Toronto hasn't won a Cup in 40 years considering that kind of solid asset management.
How much of his salary? The Toronto Star's Damien Cox says once-and-current Leafs GM Cliff Fletcher was under pressure from the ownership to dump salaries, so he did what he could:
February 16, Toronto Star: Interestingly, the last time he faced a trade deadline day as GM of the Leafs - March 18, 1997 - does not offer promising memories.
Back then, owner Steve Stavro also wanted to dump salaries, albeit for different reasons, and Fletcher was able to chop $3 million in three deals as the clock ticked down.
In the final hour before the '97 deadline, Larry Murphy was traded to Detroit for future considerations, which turned out to be an agreement to pay $800,000 of Murphy's $2.5 million salary the next season.

Garrett,

Not to sound snotty, but on my Windows 7 box, Python is in C:\Python26\bin, C:\ArcGIS\Python25\bin, C:\Python27\bin (and probably a few other places)... Not a single copy of Python is in C:\Program Files\Python\python.exe... I also seem to have quite a number of programs in C:\Windows, C:\Windows\System, C:\Windows\System32, C:\Windows\SysWOW64. I know that in older versions of Windows, there was no System32 or SysWOW64.

Linux is no different. Stuff moves around. That's where things like 'locate' come in handy.

It was not clear to me, although I guess it should have been, that the effect system would preserve enough information to decide the purity of the evaluation. You did explain it, in another post: So this means that function types need to carry effect variables in at least some cases. In principle, it also means that a complete typing of an expression needs to have both an associated effect and a type, but I think we can elide printing those most of the time. And I agree that function purity is neither necessary nor always sufficient in a concurrent context. But it is a useful notion, making reasoning on programs simpler. Another case where I see the effect type system as useful, maybe more to the point than concurrency: a library caching results of the applications of an helper function, as in dynamic programming. Knowing the evaluation of the helper function is pure is sufficient to make this technique possible (but not necessary in this case either).

best technology for server side matchback
Hi -
I am looking at alternate technologies to solve this -
1) Multiple user computers send me information from my program that runs on their computer every couple of seconds
2) I need to match it to similar data that other users have relayed in the last 3 minutes and if it matches send both users a notification
3) when i receive new information from the user it needs to clear the old information and do the same for the new information.
I need something that is instantaneous and constantly runs for over 100,000 users.
Any suggestion will be helpful
Thanks and regards
Re: best technology for server side matchback
Is your server that much powerful to handle 100k concurrent users? What is the configuration of your server then?
Re: best technology for server side matchback
I am on the amazon cloud, right now I have only 100 users but scaling really fast & the DB batch that we run constantly is beginning to slow down.
Re: best technology for server side matchback
If you are on Amazon cloud you can always scale up with a new instance of the server to handle.
Re: best technology for server side matchback
Guys I am not dumb and yes I can scale as I am on the cloud.... But it also costs me a lot more that maybe re-writing the entire back end in a more efficient way

Note: This article originally appeared in the Mirror on Sunday, March 1, 1998.
By Neil Rudel
LORETTO — When you're playing or coaching in a tremendous game, the intensity and level of play is so high that sometimes none of the participants realize the classic unfolding before their eyes.
That was not the case here Saturday afternoon as the Altoona and State College boys combined to author one of the great games in District 6 history, a 72-70 Mountain Lion victory won on Aaron Morris' three-quarter court sprint and bucket at the buzzer.
As the lead seesawed back and forth, as each team weathered what seemed to be the other's best shot in this championship game, as virtually every player on the court contributed, there was a sense on the floor that these games don't come along too often.
"For the fans, it must have been great,'' State College's Kenny Krimmel, a central figure in the final minutes with a late 3-pointer that gave the Little Lions the lead, a missed free throw that opened the door and a fateful turnover that Morris cashed in. "Both teams played a heckuva game and showed a lot of heart.''
Altoona's rich basketball history is full of great comebacks and super finishes, but this game distinguished itself for 32 minutes and in fact needed every last second to be determined.
"I kept thinking to myself what a great game it was,'' Altoona center Todd Johnson said.
Art Taneyhill had a sense the game would be special. He believes the teams are evenly matched, evidenced by their season split, and knows each has high-caliber athletes.
"We played twice and I kind of knew it would be this kind of game,'' he said. "I've been part of some great games and this one ranks up there with the best with any win I've had.''
State College shot 53 percent. Altoona shot 47 — 54 in the second half — committed just nine turnovers.
Morris was incredible with 27 points and teammate Mike Carney responded with a clutch 17 from the perimeter, including two bombs in the second half, the second tying it at 70 with 15 seconds left.
Johnson came up big with 10 points and seven rebounds (five offensive) to win the battle with State's more heralded athlete, Larry Johnson. Matt Durbin had 10 assists and Vince Nedimyer provided his usual toughness while the Mountain Lions also got a big lift off the bench from Darren Galbraith, Ted Moran and Eric Kessinger.
It was enough to offset Krimmel, Chris Roser-Jones and Matt Tanner, who combined for 57 points and Ethan Frank, who hit some clutch shots in the second half.
In the end, it was an extraordinary effort from an extraordinary group of seniors who will go down as one of the finest classes in AAHS history.
Durbin and Nedimyer were key players on the football team that won the district championship and resurrected the ghosts of Mansion Park and now both can add a basketball title to their mantle.
"I was out for a few minutes in the third quarter and I kept thinking 'we're playing wonderful,''' Nedimyer, a winner if there ever was one, said. "What a great game. The momentum kept going back and forth. State College has a great team. This was a great series.''
Durbin, whose hustle knocked the ball from Krimmel, said, "it was the greatest game I've ever been a part of.''

The American Girls are really neat. I like reading their stories to find out how girls used to live in the past.Did you know there are a lot of other American Girl History Mysteries? Here are a couple you may like:
Trouble at Fort La Pointe by Kathleen Ernst .
In the early 1700s, twelve-year-old Suzette, an Ojibwa-French girl, hopes that her father will win the fur-trapping contest so that he can quit being a voyageur and stay with his family year-round, but when he is accused of stealing, Suzette must use her knowledge of both French and Ojibwa ways to find the real thief.
The Smuggler's Treasure by Sarah Masters Buckey .
Sent to live with relatives in New Orleans during the War of 1812, eleven-year-old Elisabet determines to find a smuggler's treasure to ransom her imprisoned father.
Other mystery series you may want to try are:
Nancy Drew written by Carolyn Keene .
The first book in this series is The Secret of the Old Clock. In this book after Nancy helps an injured child, she accidentally stumbles upon the mystery of Josiah Crowley's missing will. While several of Crowley's poorer relatives claim that he had included them in his will, his arrogant relatives, seem to have the only copy, which leaves them in total possession of the deceased man's fortune. Nancy is intrigued by the situation and begins searching for Crowley's missing antique clock, an object that reportedly contains a clue to the will's location.
Trixie Belden .
The first Trixie Belden book is The Secret of the Mansion by Julie Campbell.
Thirteen-year-old Trixie Belden and her friends search for hidden treasure in a mysterious mansion owned by an old miser

Tuning on Community Voices
A UNESCO supported community radio workshop, organized by femLINKPacific, will close this week in Suva, Fiji. The two-week event has brought together representatives of civil society organizations and participants from Ministries of Youth and Women in the region to better understand community radio.
According to femLINKpacific's Coordinator, Sharon Bhagwan Rolls, the workshop participants this week are getting involved in the development and production of local radio content, with the values and issues of the community in mind. "This is an important way of showing our future community media producers to consider and understand global commitments, by putting a value on local knowledge and to link the global commitments and goals with the realities of the lives of the communities and groups we are working with" said Bhagwan Rolls to UNDP's Newsfront.
The participants learned basic principles about communication and how media and communication were useful tools in achieving development aims; they also developed a programme on community radio, which can be used for demonstration purposes. "My interest in community media increases everyday and I am more aware of what it takes to establish one", Henry Rigamoto of the Interfaith Search said.
The workshop was held in preparation of femLINK's own community radio, which is hoped to become a forum for participatory community development and democracy and a tool for reaching out to women and youth.
fem'LINKpacific:MEDIA INITIATIVES FOR WOMEN is a Media-based NGO committed to the development, production and distribution of community media initiatives : "To bring the stories of our women and their communities to the forefront, and more importantly, to share these stories with the rest of our society, with the hope that through this community-centered initiative we will not only increase awareness of critical social, political and economic issues, but also serve as a means to promote Reconciliation and Peace in our country and the Pacific Island region."

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates, changes in the yield curve, changes in prepayment rates, the availability and terms of financing, changes in the market value of our assets, general economic conditions, market conditions, conditions in the market for agency and non-agency securities and mortgage related investments, and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect the business of the Company. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the
In addition to the results presented in accordance with GAAP, this release includes certain non-GAAP financial information, including net spread income, estimated taxable income and certain financial metrics derived from non-GAAP information, such as estimated undistributed taxable income, which the Company's management uses in its internal analysis of results, and believes may be informative to investors.
GAAP interest income does not include interest earned on non-agency securities underlying our Linked Transactions, and GAAP interest expense does not include either interest related to repurchase agreements underlying our Linked Transactions, or periodic settlements associated with undesignated interest rate swaps. Interest income and expense related to Linked Transactions is reported within unrealized loss and net interest income on linked transactions, net and periodic interest settlements associated with undesignated interest rate swaps are reported in realized gain (loss) on periodic settlements of interest rate swaps on our consolidated statement of operations. As we believe that these items are beneficial to the understanding of our investment performance, we provide a non-GAAP measure called adjusted net interest income, which is comprised of net interest income plus the net interest income related to Linked Transactions, less net periodic settlements of interest rates swaps. Additionally, we present net spread income as a measure of our operating performance. Net spread income is comprised of adjusted net interest income, less total operating expenses. Net spread income excludes all unrealized gains or losses due to changes in fair value, realized gains or losses on sales of securities, realized losses associated with derivative instruments and income taxes.
Estimated taxable income is pre-tax income calculated in accordance with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code rather than GAAP. Estimated taxable income differs from GAAP income because of both temporary and permanent differences in income and expense recognition. Examples include (i) temporary differences for unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and investment securities recognized in current income for GAAP but excluded from estimated taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) temporary differences related to the amortization of premiums and discounts paid on investments, and (iii) timing differences in the recognition of certain realized gains and losses. Furthermore, taxable income can include certain estimated information and is subject to potential adjustments up to the time of filing of the appropriate tax returns, which occurs after the end of the calendar year of the Company.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors because net spread income is a financial metric used by management and investors and estimated taxable income is directly related to the amount of dividends the Company is required to distribute in order to maintain its REIT tax qualification status.
The Company also believes that providing investors with our net spread income, estimated taxable income and certain financial metrics derived from such non-GAAP financial information, in addition to the related GAAP measures, gives investors greater transparency to the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. However, because net spread income and estimated taxable income are incomplete measures of the Company's financial performance and involve differences from net income computed in accordance with GAAP, they should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, the Company's net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company's financial performance. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of net spread income and estimated taxable income may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies.

moreTheir mission: To take out the scuds. Eight went out. Five came back. Their story had been closed in secrecy. Until now. They were British Special Forces, trained to be the best. In January 1991 a squad of eight men went behind the Iraqi lines on a top secret mission. It was called Bravo Two Zero. On command was Sergeant Andy McNab. "They are the true unsung heroes of the war." -- Lt. Col. Steven Turner, American F-15E commander. Dropped into "scud alley" carrying 210-pound packs, McNab and his men found themselves surrounded by Saddam's army. Their radios didn't work. The weather turned cold enough to freeze diesel fuel. And they had been spotted. Their only chance at survival was to fight their way to the Syrian border seventy-five miles to the northwest and swim the Euphrates river to freedom. Eight set out. Five came back. "I'll tell you who destroyed the scuds -- it was the British SAS. They were fabulous." -- John Major, British Prime Minister. This is their story. Filled with no-holds-barred detail about McNab's capture and excruciating torture, it tells of men tested beyond the limits of human endurance... and of the war you didn't see on CNN. Dirty, deadly, and fought outside the rules. less

Lifeguard Tamara Paltin has launched a campaign for Maui County mayor that's short on money and election paraphernalia, but, she says, long on her concern for addressing community issues.
Last week, the 36-year-old Napili resident was the first to officially file as a candidate for the office currently held by Mayor Alan Arakawa, who is seeking re-election.
As of Tuesday, Paltin had $47 available for her campaign. (Arakawa had $379,294 in his campaign war chest, according to the last report to the state Campaign Spending Commission.) Paltin has never run for political office before. Arakawa, 62, is seeking his third term as mayor. In addition to his current term, he was mayor from 2003 to 2006, and served on the Maui County Council from 1995 to 1998 and from 2001 to 2002.

Challenging Alan Arakawa
Despite Arakawa being a formidable opponent, Paltin said she believes she can run a strong campaign grounded in grass-roots issues, even without matching the mayor's deep pockets. In fact, she said she won't accept donations greater than $100 and has filed a notice of her intent to seek public funds for her campaign.
"I want people to know I'm not influenced by big money," she said. "I think I can win. I'm just going to run a grass-roots campaign. I don't think handing out pins and rice paddles has much to do with the issues. I don't want to purchase a bunch of signs that will just end up in the landfill. I'd rather engage people and empower them."
When asked about Paltin's "big money" comment and the extent to which the mayor is influenced by campaign donors, Arakawa campaign Chairwoman Lynn Araki-Regan said: "Mayor Arakawa is only beholden to the voting public. Those who donate do so because they support the mayor's vision, but public service means you serve everyone."
Paltin started her campaign website, tamara4mauinui.com, on Monday.
And, she said, even if she loses the mayor's race, "I'll be glad I at least talked about the issues."
Paltin became well-known on Maui for her efforts to save the Honolua Bay area from development as the co-founder and president of the Save Honolua Coalition. In 2007, she was among The Maui News' "People Who Made A Difference."
She was born in Honolulu, grew up in Hilo (Hilo High School class of 1995), received a Bachelor of Science degree from Northern Arizona University (with cum laude honors) in 1998 and has been a Maui County ocean safety officer since 2001. She's married to George Vierra, has a 23-month-old daughter, a 3-year-old son and three stepchildren, ages 25, 24 and 16.
Paltin said the impetus for her campaign was "frustration with the current system."
Oahu and Kauai lifeguards are paid $2.50 more per hour than Maui lifeguards when they operate personal watercraft, although they do the same work, she said. (Big Island lifeguards don't use personal watercraft.)
Maui County lifeguards have operated the watercraft, doing ocean rescues and monitoring shark sightings, without being compensated for using them for the past 12 years, Paltin said. Lifeguards have filed a grievance seeking such compensation, which, she said, is an example of how the concerns of front-line county employees are not making their way up to the county's top-level management.
"People are hearing us, but they're not listening," Paltin said. So far, there's been no favorable response, "just getting roadblocks."
Araki-Regan said that, as a campaign official, she was unable to comment about the lifeguards' grievance, but she said: "Front-line employees are the backbone of the County of Maui as they interact with the community and businesses on a daily basis."
Paltin said she discussed her frustration with "some people in politics" who urged her to run for mayor but not to do so as a single-issue candidate.
She has been monitoring the county's General Plan review process and has found it too slow and the county administration poor at enforcing plan provisions already in place.
Paltin said the General Plan is "long overdue" for updating. The last plan was approved in 1990, and it was supposed to be updated every 10 years, she said.
"We're working off a 1990 plan that nobody's even following," she said.
Paltin said she doesn't have "good faith" that if Mayor Arakawa were re-elected then his administration would follow and implement the General Plan.
Although it's more than 600 pages long, the county's General Plan should be followed by the county's executive branch "like your Bible, almost," she said.
She noted that Planning Director Will Spence recently acknowledged that the county has a "laundry list" of 200 to 250 actions it's supposed to do as detailed in community plans written over the years. But it's only accomplished about six of them so far.
Paltin said Spence's plan to set up a new division, the Plan Implementation Division with a staff of three, would fall short.
"Three people in the Planning Department just isn't going to cut it," she said.
Instead, she said, all county directors need to take their marching orders from the county's general and community plans, setting up goals, objectives and action items to accomplish what the community has said it wants its county government to do.
"All we need to do is follow and implement the General Plan," she said. "It's a blueprint of what people want."
Araki-Regan said the Maui Island Plan was adopted by the county on Dec. 28, 2012. She noted that the plan establishes urban and rural growth areas that indicate where development is intended and will be supported.
"Growth areas will provide for less-costly services, reduced commuting, protection of community character and the preservation of agriculture, open space, and cultural and natural resources," she said. "The plan comprises goals, policies, programs and actions, which are based on an assessment of current and future needs and available resources."
The plan is the "principal tool for the county and its citizens to use when evaluating public and private projects on Maui island and their impacts on land use, the economy, environment, infrastructure and cultural resources," Araki-Regan said.
Some community plans, such as the Lanai plan, which is before the Lanai Planning Commission, are being updated, she said.
As for planning staff committed to implementing plans, Spence has proposed a "new team of planners that will make implementing community plans a priority," she said.
Paltin and Arakawa are two of five candidates who've checked out nomination papers for mayor. The others are Kihei resident Alana Kay, Kahului resident Orion Kopelman and Wailuku resident Carson Nemoto.
In other action among candidates, Council Member Don Guzman filed officially last week for re-election to his Kahului residency seat, and former Kahului Council Member Joe Pontanilla checked out papers to reclaim his former seat.
Council Chairwoman Gladys Baisa and Council Member Stacy Crivello officially filed as candidates to reclaim their respective Upcountry and Molokai residency seats.
And, Council Member Mike Victorino checked out papers for his Wailuku-Waihee-Waikapu seat and former Council Member Mike Molina took out nomination papers to seek his former Makawao-Haiku-Paia seat.
Lahaina resident Frederick Mejia Nava pulled papers for the West Maui council seat held by Council Member Elle Cochran. She also has checked out papers for re-election, while Lahaina resident Butch Buenconsejo has taken out papers for the West Maui residency seat.

SEBI-Sahara: Another Unusual Legal Situation!
Published on Sat, Dec 08,2012 | 11:33, Updated at Wed, Dec 12 at 22:56Source : CNBC-TV18 | Watch Video :
There has been a curious turn of events in the SEBI-Sahara battle. SEBI's resounding victory on August 31st suffered a setback on December 5th. On August 31st a bench of Justice Khehar & Justice Radhakrishnan had given Sahara time up to November 30th to refund its OFCD investors. This week a bench headed by the Chief Justice of India gave Sahara time up to February 2013 to refund the money. The judgment may have only bought Sahara 3 more months but it has raised several eyebrows. Can one Supreme Court bench modify an order passed by another Supreme Court bench? Over the next several minutes we are going to take you back in time to recount what went on since August 31st as also look into the future to see what precedent these events set.
A Supreme Court bench of Justice Radhakrishnan & Justice Khehar ruled in favour of SEBI and ordered 2 Sahara Group companies to return to its OFCD investors the full outstanding amount of over 20,000 crore rupees, alongwith 15% interest, within 3 months. Sahara was to pay the money to SEBI and the regulator would verify investor identities before refunding the money. Sahara had 10 days to give SEBI all the investor documents.
Refund Amount
2 Sahara Companies collected: approx Rs 27000 cr
Outstanding as of 2011: Rs 17400 cr
Interest: 15% per annum
October 2012
Sahara companies filed a review petition in the Supreme Court
Sahara claims it sent a truckload of documentation to SEBI within the 10 day limit. But SEBI did not accept it as the documents arrived on the 10th day, after office hours.
October 19th 2012
SEBI approached the Supreme Court (Bench: J. Radhakrishnan & J Khehar) alleging Sahara's non-compliance with the main order. The bench pointed SEBI back to its order – which had empowered the market regulator to attach Sahara's assets & properties in case of non-compliance.
November 2nd 2012
SEBI filed a contempt petition against Sahara claiming it had not furnished the investor documents within the court stipulated time.
Aug 31st: Main Order – empowers SEBI to attach Sahara assets
Oct 19th: SEBI approaches SC bench alleging non-compliance by Sahara
Nov 2nd: SEBI files contempt petition against Sahara in SC
Turns out, just a day before the contempt petition was filed, SEBI had issued a letter to the 2 Sahara companies asking them to furnish details of all bank accounts and properties. SEBI did not explain to this show why, but I suppose they could be initial moves in case SEBI had to resort to attaching Sahara's assets & properties.
Nov 1st: SEBI issues letter to Sahara companies asking for details on all bank a/c & properties
26 days after receiving SEBI's letter and 3 days before their court mandated refund time limit expired; the 2 Sahara companies approached the Securities Appellate Tribunal.
The complaint: That SEBI had deliberately refused to accept the investor documents and that it had wrongly proceeded on the basis that Sahara was in non-compliance of the Supreme Court order. Sahara's counsel Gopal Subramaniam told the Tribunal his client feared SEBI would neither accept the investor documents, nor the Rs 5120 crore towards outstanding OFCDs and hence cause Sahara to violate the supreme court order.
Nov 27th: Saharas appeal to SAT
Saharas to SAT: SEBI deliberately refused investor documents
SEBI wrongly claims Saharas to be in non-compliance with SC order
Saharas to SAT: Fear SEBI will not accept investor documents or Rs 5120 cr refund
Nov 29th 2012
SAT dismissed Sahara's appeal saying 'The cause of action, if any, will arise if the money is tendered by the appellants as per directions of the Supreme Court and the same is not accepted by the Board. The Hon'ble Supreme Court is seized of the matter....We see no reason how this Tribunal gets jurisdiction to entertain the appeal or give any further directions in the matter."
On Friday November 30th, a day after its SAT appeal was dismissed; Sahara approached the Supreme Court to appeal the SAT order.
On Monday, December 3rd Sahara's petition was taken up by a 3 judge bench – headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir.
That Monday didn't go well for SEBI. Counsel Arvind Datar told this show that in Monday's hearing "SEBI submitted before the SC that any change in the payment schedule could be done only by the Bench that passed the order. Further, a review petition by Sahara and a contempt petition by SEBI were also pending before that bench."
SEBI v/s SAHARA
Dec 3rd: In The Supreme Court
"SEBI submitted before the SC that any change in the payment schedule could be done only by the Bench that passed the order. Further, a review petition by Sahara and a contempt petition by SEBI were also pending before that bench."
Arvind Datar
SEBI's Counsel
But to no avail. The matter dragged on to Wednesday, when, despite SEBI's objections, the Chief Justice's bench granted Sahara its request for a time extension – up to February 2013 to make the full repayment in 3 instalments (Rs 5120 cr now, Rs 10,000 cr by first week of January & the remaining by first week of February).
Sahara has been given a 3 month reprieve. But the manner in which this happened has raised several eyebrows within the legal fraternity. Supreme Court Senior Counsel Prashant Bhushan was in court during the hearing. He was representing an investor who attempted but failed to intervene in the matter. I asked Mr Bhushan for his account of what happened in court.
Prashant Bhushan, Advocate, SC: I saw the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) counsel raise these objections and he was rudely asked to just sit down and even after the court proceeded to hear the arguments of the counsel for Sahara, the SEBI counsel again got up to make his submissions. He was again rudely asked to sit down. Thereafter the Chief Justice proceeded to dictate the order modifying the earlier order of a coordinate bench of the court passed in August, virtually rendering infractuous the contempt petition filed by SEBI against Sahara and virtually snatching the case from that coordinate bench to itself. When Mr. Datar -representing SEBI- again got up after he had completed dictating the judgement to make his submissions and pointed out that he had not been heard in this matter, he was rudely told by the Chief Justice that as a Senior Counsel he had no business to interfere or say anything once he had already dictated the order. So at no stage were the arguments of SEBI heard and an order was passed virtually modifying a final judgement of another coordinate bench of the Supreme Court (SC). This is absolutely unheard of in the SC. It is not only most improper; it is simply astounding.
Prashant Bhushan: It was not only unusual, but it was highly improper for a coordinate bench of the SC to hear a matter, which seeks a modification of a final judgement passed by a coordinate bench of the SC. Any judgement of the SC, even if it is by a two-judge bench, is a final judgement. It cannot be appealed before a larger three-judge bench or a five-judge bench. It can only be reviewed by the same bench and thereafter you can file a curative petition, which goes before a Constitution bench in which the original judges are also there. That is according to the rules. So, therefore, for any judge to say that we can modify a final judgement of another coordinate bench because we are a three-judge bench is totally incorrect. It is most improper and it makes a mockery of the principle of a decision of the SC being final and not capable of being appealed to a larger bench of the same SC.
Soli Sorabjee, Senior Counsel, SC: Let us be clear- in the contempt petition, which is pending before I think justice Radhakrishnan and Khehar, the issues are different. Contempt is a matter between the court and the litigant. This Special Leave Petition (SLP), which Sahara filed was in respect of Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT's) order- this is different cause of action. Now that SLP can be heard by any bench, not necessarily that of Radhakrishnan and Khehar because even though there maybe some overlapping, the question is this is a fresh cause of action arising out of SAT's order against which Sahara filed an appeal. So, it does happen at times when we tell the court- look a similar matter is before such and such bench. Sometimes the court feels that. This was a cause of action arising after a subsequent order of SAT. Now the bench could have said in that case you go to the same bench. But it is not necessary. The bench did not commit any illegality or it is not unconstitutional. It may be saying this is a fresh matter, we will hear it.
Prashant Bhushan: The SAT clearly said in its order that they have no jurisdiction to deal with this application of Sahara because this is an issue which has been settled by the SC and if they wanted any modification of that order or any interference with that, they have to approach the SC; which meant that they had to approach the SC by way of review or by way of filing an application in the previous matter and therefore even if they chose to file a fresh SLP against this order of SAT, the court must necessarily send it to that same bench, which had heard the matter. To say that this is a fresh matter arising out of a fresh SLP would mean allowing any party in future, which has lost a case finally in the SC to find another way of approaching a different bench by way of filing some frivolous writ petition in the High Court (HC) and then approaching the SC by way of SLP.
Soli Sorabjee: Please approach it clearly. Could this three judge bench have taken up the matter in the first place? Could it have heard the matter? Now if it could have heard the matter, the position doesn't change depending on the order it passes. Suppose it had dismissed, not given a days extension, then what would have happened? It is not a question whether they will modify it or not they took up the fact of the problem, there is no justification or extension. Here they took a view that it could be extended at certain time. If it was nothing wrong in the bench hearing the matter, it doesn't become wrong because of the order it passed because otherwise, as I told you, some will say SEBI is forum shopping. SEBI said no, we only want that bench, not any other bench- why don't you look at it from that point of view, about SEBI forum shopping and not pick up a particular bench, but it is not very clear. As I said it is a grey area and I think it would have been more appropriate or preferable to avoid any controversy for this bench to say- go before the same bench and say what you want to. But if they didn't, they didn't commit any impropriety.
Prashant Bhushan: In my view, they can ignore this order passed by the Chief Justice's bench because it is an order passed completely without jurisdiction, but whether they will do so or not because if they do so it will create an unseemly situation in the Supreme Court. Therefore, whether they will do so or not will depend upon them, but in my view they would certainly be within their rights to ignore this order of the Chief Justice's bench, which is clearly without jurisdiction.
Soli Sorabjee: Suppose if Sahara doesn't adhere to the time given by the three judge bench, of course that will be aggravation- the contempt petition will still be pending. If Sahara defaults, surely that will be an aggravated circumstance for the contempt petition; contempt petition hasn't been rendered infractuous.
Prashant Bushan: I would suggest that they go back to the original bench and press their contempt and if the original bench says that now the Chief Justice's bench has passed a different, order you go there- then they should seek a review of this Chief Justice's order and thereafter file a curative petition because as I said it is an order passed completely without jurisdiction.

Declan Sullivan, 20, a junior from Long Grove, Ill., died at a South Bend hospital after being rushed from the LaBar practice complex, say published reports.
Sullivan's Tweets described frightening weather conditions as he sat atop the hydraulic scissor lift, a tower that can be lowered or raised as needed.
"Gust of wind up to 60mph well today will be fun at work ... I guess I've lived long enough :-/," he posted on his Facebook page via Twitter, shown in an image on the Web site Indy Posted.
His next Tweet was sent at 4:06 p.m. "Holy f-- holy f--- this is terrifying," he wrote. The camera tower collapsed at about 4:50 p.m., as winds in the area were gusting to 51 m.p.h.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Declan's family and friends," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said in a statement. "Declan was a diligent student worker in our video department and had a tremendous personality and great sense of humor. He brightened the days for all that had the privilege to work with him, and the Notre Dame football family will dearly miss him."
A Notre Dame player also shared his feelings about the incident. "In the midst of a season where you are disappointed with the outcomes ... you can lose sight of what's most important. Sad day at practice," senior linebacker Brian Smith posted on his Twitter page. "I will never forget today."
Authorities were investigating the incident. There will be a Mass said in Sullivan's memory on Thursday.

It just gets better - just stay focused on real foods and enjoy the ride.
hi all
my names cath and ive been primal for about 5 days so far,
am really enjoying the complete change in my eating habits and i have to say at least so far i dont miss grains and sugar
i do have some sugar in things some honey in a cuppa or a sweet ish style sauce to dips my chicken and corriander meatballs in but as a whole im not consuming any extra, i have lost 1 kg so far and i feel ... light no feel of bloating at all which has been a problem.
i originally decided to change up my eating habits because i was just feeling bleh, thats my word for no energy and just a general feeling of not wanting to do anything , i was eating poorly and not doing any where near as much exercise as i would usually do , so decided a change was needed did some research and came across this site and it all just made wonderful perfect sense to me!
looking forward to reading all the delicous recipes and everyones forum posts !
It just gets better - just stay focused on real foods and enjoy the ride.
Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.
Don't forget to play!
Hi guys,
I'm about to go primal but feeling like i don't really know how to start this, i have the 21 day plan book, but no one else seems to be doing it that way? Any tips on how you got started would be amazing. Want to be prepared I know what to eat and not to eat, balances of proportions on plates, good snack ideas etc. thanks
The easiest thing to say is just cut the grain.
That, i would say, is the single biggest food item in this philosophy.
And it will make the biggest impact to how you feel and how you prepare meals if you are coming from a CW diet.
After that, it's cooking in/with better quality oils: dripping/lard/butter/coconut/olive, losing beans/legumes, maybe cutting down on dairy (i'm on cheese, yoghurt, double cream because they're good for fat calories)

Great thanks Greenbeast and apologies for hijacking this thread a bit.
I've already cut out beans and legumes for months now and also most wheat, although i do eat gluten free so have to just cut out rice and all gluten free stuff too now. I do still eat dairy but maybe need to figure out different and best types to eat.
i don't have a problem with dairy, but given that i stopped eating cereal (obv.) and cream was better for extra fat in my coffee i stopped using milk at all.
Great thanks Greenbeast.
What do you all eat for breakfast now that you've cut out cereal?
