Hacking Trial: Rebekah Brooks Talks David Beckham, Andy Coulson Relationship
The former CEO of the U.K. newspaper arm of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. says the soccer star got $1.6 million for book excerpts and takes issue with the prosecution's claim that she had an affair with Coulson.
LONDON – Excerpts from former L.A. Galaxy soccer star David Beckham's autobiography cost Rupert Murdoch's The Sun and News of the World more than $1.6 million (£1 million).
The large payment to the English sports icon emerged during Friday's appearance by Rebekah Brooks, the former CEO of New International, the U.K. newspaper arm of News Corp., on the witness stand during her trial, according to the The Guardian. (News International was renamed News UK during the June 2013 splitting of News Corp. into two entities: News Corp, sans period, and 21st Century Fox.)
Brooks, a former editor at both Murdoch publications, is charged with several counts, including phone hacking and obstruction of justice.
The million-dollar Beckham payment was disclosed as Brooks entered the second day of her defense against the charges, during which she also was quizzed about Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator used by NI to allegedly hack phones. (Mulcaire was jailed along with News of the World's then-royal editor Clive Goodman in 2007.)
According to British media reports, Brooks told the court that she did not know about News of the World's $153,000 (£92,000) annual contract with Mulcaire.
She told the jury that she was "incredibly close" to Coulson and called him her "best friend," but said it had been wrong of the prosecution late last year to characterize their relationship as a six-year affair.
While they had several periods of "physical intimacy," the prosecution had misinterpreted a letter she had written to him declaring her love in 2004.
"I seem to remember sometimes I would write things down to myself," the The Guardian quoted her as saying. "Obviously, it's a letter, and I probably woke up the next morning and thought better of it."
The paper said that Brooks was close to tears when she discussed the relationships with Coulson and Kemp, at one point asking for a break.
She said she met her current husband, Charlie Brooks -- also a co-defendant -- in March 2007.

Reprogramming the Brain
Edited by
- Aage Moller, The University of Texas at Dallas, Callier Center for Communication Disorders, Dallas, TX, USA
The brain is plastic and it can change its function to adapt to changing demands of various kinds. The brain can also re-organize and change its function to better utilize its resources when parts of the brain have been damaged through injuries and diseases. This means that the brain is not "hard wired" but can be reprogrammed when needed. This book describes different aspects of how the plasticity can become activated and how it can benefit the individual person. This book provides in-depth coverage of many important aspects of neural plasticity and how it applies to trauma, including strokes and disorders of the central nervous system that affect memory and cognition. The book also discusses how neural plasticity is involved in aphasia, pain and tinnitus. The roles of neural plasticity in motor rehabilitation and in adaptation to prostheses such as cochlear and cochlear nucleus implants are also topics of the book.View full description

This application claims priority pursuant to 35 U.S.C �119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/413,016, filed Aug. 9, 2002.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates primarily to the field of computer systems, and in particular to publishing and accessing platform configuration information.
2. Background Art
Network management implicates several concerns, including security (e.g., ensuring that the network is protected from unauthorized users), performance (e.g., eliminating bottlenecks in the network) and reliability (e.g., making sure the network is available to users and responding to hardware and software malfunctions). A system administrator may use a wide variety of software and hardware products to help manage a network. For example, conventional computer networks utilize system management and hardware diagnostic tools to manage the network or devices.
One example of a protocol for system management and hardware diagnostic tools is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Generally, SNMP operates by sending messages, called protocol data units (PDUs), to different parts of the computer network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data about themselves in Management Information Bases (MIBs) and return this data to the SNMP requesters. Each MIB is a database of objects that can be monitored by a network management system. Network management protocols, such as SNMP, use standardized MIB formats that allow any set of network management tools, e.g., SNMP tools, to monitor any device defined by a MIB. Accordingly, the characteristics or variables of an agent's MIB may be inspected or modified by a remote user.
Typically, conventional system management and hardware diagnostic tools may read the underlying platform configurations for reporting and monitoring purposes. For example, by employing an agent process on each of the managed hosts in a network, SNMP may collect and report the hardware platform configuration information to a central station. But one serious disadvantage is that the management and hardware diagnostic tools that monitor hardware platform configuration for purposes of reporting and monitoring do not function correctly if they are not informed about a change in hardware platform. As a result, the system administrator and user applications must update the tools by manually making several changes in various agent portions of the tools with every change in the hardware platform. The update process therefore requires a significant expenditure of time and other resources. Hardware platform changes occur frequently—existing hardware platforms are often upgraded with every new release of the platform or are replaced by new and different platforms. Thus, these tools have to be constantly updated. Accordingly, there is a need for a technique to handle upgrades or changes to platforms in a manner that saves time and other resources.
The present invention is a system and method to allow user applications to access hardware platform specific configuration information in a generic manner. According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a framework that is hardware platform independent allows user applications to access hardware platform specific configuration information. In another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, this hardware platform independent framework has access to platform configuration information and lies on a layer that interfaces with the operating system layer. In another exemplary embodiment, the hardware platform independent framework is not an integral part of the operating system layer but instead resides in a layer created above the operating system. As a result, whenever a hardware platform is changed, the operating system layer can inform higher level software, such as system management and hardware diagnostic tools. Therefore, this configuration saves time during the debugging of this higher level software in the event that this higher level software does not function properly.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, this framework has a user interface to allow a user to make changes to all the agents, such as management and diagnostic tools deployed on the network elements, for example, whenever a platform is changed in the event that minimal changes are necessary to ensure that the agents function correctly. As a result, the user saves a considerable amount of time and other resources. According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, this generic framework also includes a plug-in publishing interface that is used to develop platform-specific modules to publish or export hardware configurations to other users. This published information is preferably classified into well-known classes and well-defined properties that have the same semantics across all platforms.
A more complete understanding of the generic interface and framework will be afforded to those skilled in the art, as well as a realization of additional advantages and objects thereof, by a consideration of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment. Reference will be made to the appended sheets of drawings which will first be described briefly.
The present invention provides a system and method whereby user applications can access hardware platform specific configuration information in a generic manner. In the detailed description that follows, like element numerals are used to describe like elements illustrated in one or more drawings.
At step 120, the PICL encapsulates any platform-specific code into one or more plug-in modules. The PICL allows any platform-specific code to be encapsulated into one or more publish and monitor modules or plug-in modules. A plug-in module may be a co-operative module that is instantiated by a PICL daemon to collect platform data. At step 130, the PICL daemon instantiates those plug-ins that are specific to the new platform. Accordingly, the PICL daemon produces a more defined version of the plug-in modules by replacing the plug-in module variables with values or other variables associated with the platform data. The plug-in module creates nodes and properties in the PICL tree to represent the platform data. The PICL daemon preferably instantiates only those plug-ins that are applicable to the specific platform.
At step 140, a user accesses the PICL via the daemon using a PICL interface. The user has access to the platform configuration information via the PICL daemon using a PICL interface. The PICL interface is a platform independent interface. In the event that changes are necessary, the PICL interface allows the user to make changes to the system management and hardware diagnostic tools. Accordingly, at step 150, the user supports the new platform by making any necessary changes to the system management and hardware diagnostic tools. Typically, if any changes are required, the modifications will be minimal.
The PICL Framework
As discussed above, the PICL is used to publish platform information such that the information can be accessed by a user in a platform independent manner. The platform information includes, for example, the device tree and the association between the devices. This publication is accomplished by employing a set of plug-in modules that collect the platform configuration and creates the PICL tree.
PICL daemon 203 is connected to PICL tree or PICL tree model 204. PICL tree model 204 uses plug-in publishing interface 205 to communicate with the plug-in modules 206. PICL framework 200 may include one or more plug-in modules, and typically includes several modules. Plug-in modules 206 interface with operating system 207. Operating system 207 in turn interfaces with hardware platform 208.
The PICL Interfaces
As discussed above, PICL interface 202 is a layer between the user 201 and the daemon 203. PICL interface 202 consists of a set of functions and data structures that provide a platform independent interface for a user 201 to query the platform information that is maintained by the daemon 203. The information published via the PICL framework 200 is organized into a tree, where each node is an instance of a well-defined PICL class. The base class of the PICL may be designated as the "picl" class. This base class defines a basic set of properties that all the nodes in the tree must possess.
Table 1 below shows an exemplary embodiment of the property set of a picl class node. All property names in Table I with a leading underscore ('_') are reserved for use by the PICL framework 200. These reserved property names are used to refer to a node's parent, child or peer nodes. A user 201 can access a reserved property, but only by its name because these properties do not have a handle associated to them and the property "name" is not a reserved property, but a mandatory property of all nodes.
Property Name
Property Value
The name of a node
The node handle of the parent node
The node handle of the first child node
The node handle of the next peer node
Properties may be classified into various types, including those that have integer values, unsigned-integer values, and floating point values, for example. The size of a property generally specifies the size of its value in bytes. For example, a table property type has a handle to a table as its value. As another example, a reference property type has a handle to a node in the tree as its value and can be used to establish an association between any two nodes in the tree.
The reference property type may also be used by plug-in modules to publish properties in nodes of different classes. In order to ensure that these property names are unique, the property names may be prefixed by _<picl_class_name>_, where <picl_class_name> is the class name of the node referenced by the property. A valid PICL class name may be any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters 'a' through 'z', digits '0' through '9', and the minus ('−') character. Furthermore, the string that follows the _<picl_class_name>_ portion of a reference property name may be used to indicate a specific property in the referenced class, if applicable. Table 2 below shows an exemplary list of different PICL property types. These property types may be enumerated in picl_prop_type_t, for example.
Property Type
Property Value
None (Property exists, but has no
Integer value
Unsigned integer value
Floating-point value
PICL node handle
Handle to a table
Time in seconds since epoch
An array of bytes
A null terminated string
In another exemplary embodiment of PICL framework 200, shown in
The PICL Daemon
As discussed above, PICL daemon 203 is a layer between PICL interface 202 and the platform information contained in the PICL tree. PICL daemon 203 maintains and controls access to the PICL tree by initializing the plug-in modules 206 provided for the platform, and awaiting requests from a user 201. When a user request is received, PICL daemon 203 returns the necessary information from the PICL tree back to the user 201. If a user 201 accesses a volatile property, PICL daemon 203 automatically invokes the access method provided by the appropriate plug-in module 206 which publishes the property, and returns its results to the user 201.
The PICL Plug-in Modules
As discussed above, PICL plug-in modules 206 may be shared objects that implement the platform-specific data collection functions. These plug-in modules 206 are preferably stored in well-known directories so that PICL daemon 203 can locate and load the plug-in modules 206 easily. Each plug-in module 206 may define a .init section by registering itself with PICL daemon 203 once its .init section is invoked. For example, as shown in
When PICL daemon 203 invokes the initialization routine of the plug-in module 206, the module 206 collects the platform information and creates nodes, properties or both to represent the configuration in the PICL tree. In an exemplary embodiment, a plug-in module 206 may create additional threads to monitor the platform configuration and update the PICL tree with any changes, if necessary. This ability enables a PICL plug-in module 206 to operate as a PICL daemon 203 within the PICL framework 200. Plug-in modules 206 may also be implemented to perform platform-specific functions. For example, plug-in modules 206 may be used to perform environmental monitoring. For instance, a PICL plug-in module 206 that serves as an environmental monitor may use a thread to monitor the temperatures and fan speeds of the platform, and publish this environmental information in the PICL tree for access by users 201.
Having described the preferred embodiments of the system and method for allowing user applications to access hardware platform specific configuration information in a generic manner, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that certain advantages of the described system and method have been achieved. It should also be appreciated that various modifications, adaptations and alternative embodiments thereof may be made within the scope and spirit of the present invention. The invention is further defined by the following claims and their full scope of equivalents.

StoryCorps: When kids confess
There are a lot of different ways to raise kids, and while you can prepare yourself, a lot of the job, you just learn on the fly.
Early in his parenting career, Bernie Feldstein figured out how to keep his two kids, Vickie and Michael, happy and honest with something he called "Amnesty Day." Once a year, Feldstein would give his kids the chance to confess to anything wrong that they did that year – the catch being that if they confessed on this precise day, they wouldn't be punished. Feldstein says often, amnesty day was full of surprises.
* * *
BERNIE FELDSTEIN: Well I was reading somewhere about the value of confession in the Catholic Church, how good people feel after they confess. And I said, "We ought to have something like that. You walk around carrying guilt and you just get rid of it. No wonder those guys are so successful! They have this real formula you know in the Catholic Church: You confess, no matter what is it what you did. You're okay and you start over, you get a clean slate.
VICKIE FELDSTEIN: I would guess too that it drove you crazy to not know what happened to some things and your sneaking suspicion was that it was MIchael, but it was so unsettling to not really have an answer, 'cause a lot of them were about edible things that disappeared… (laughs)
BERNIE FELDSTEIN: For me, I just thought it was a very effective thing to do.
We had, as you might recall, in our family an Amnesty Day, every once in a while…
VICKIE FELDSTEIN: I don't think I needed Amnesty Day!
BERNIE FELDSTEIN: Well, your brother did…
VICKIE FELDSTEIN: How often were these amnesty days?
BERNIE FELDSTEIN: About twice a year I think.
VICKIE FELDSTEIN: And were you ever really surprised by the confessions?
BERNIE FELDSTEIN: Oh yeah, I was surprised by the sidewalk broom. You remember the sidewalk-broom? The sidewalk-broom had disappeared from the garage. It was like, who steals a sidewalk broom? I mean is the DPW short of brooms? I don't get it! I happened to be the only guy in the neighborhood who owned a sidewalk broom!
Anyway, on Amnesty Day he said, "The sidewalk-broom." And I said, "What?! What did you do with it?" He said, "I didn't do anything, I went to Perlstein's yard, how did you get to the Perlstein's yard.
"We threw it there."
"Why the hell did you throw it on the Perlstein's yard?" – which was behind us.
"'Cause it was on fire!"
"Oh, it was on fire? I should have known that's what happens to sidewalk brooms! How did the goddamn sidewalk broom get on fire?"
"Well we were trying to beat out the fire when the leaves caught fire…"
"How did the leaves catch fire?"
"We raked them up and put them in that barrel and we lit it and then it tipped over and we couldn't reach it with a hose so we beat it out with a sidewalk broom, but it didn't work, the broom caught fire so we threw the broom over the fence to the neighbor's yard so you wouldn't see it."
Bernie Feldstein spoke with his daughter Vickie Feldstein at the San Francisco StoryCorps booth in the Contemporary Jewish Museum. His interview was facilitated by Sophie Simon-Ortiz and edited by KALW's Erica Mu. To learn more about how you can record your own story, check out the StoryCorps website.

editor's review
Music is more than a random arrangement of sounds that please the ear. The theory of music takes you on a tour and teaches you how specific sounds are placed to get not only something good, but great. O-Generator is an application specially designed to enhance audio lessons with a unique visual experience.
Clever designed and easy to use
Once it launches, your whole screen is occupied by a user friendly interface fitted with buttons that inevitably bring you to a circle of music. Two things need to be taken care of though, you need to choose the backing instruments then the lead. A wide selection list is available so you can explore different styles of music.
Depending on your choice, a number of layers are displayed in a circle, each one representing a specific instrument. Clicking your way through reveals notes that are only heard once you hit "Play", or you can simply edit your song after pressing the button.
There are countless notes, each with different styles and effects, and the default selection method is a little difficult to work with, having them all enlisted would have made things much easier.
Make music the fun way
Truth be told, it's got a catchy style to it that keeps your eyes glued to the screen and your ears focused. If you plan on learning to play an instrument, it's a neat way to learn notes and what they sound like.
There is also an implemented fully voiced tutorial that gets you up and running in no time, and several samples, in case you don't want to spent too much time to get to know the application.
A few sliders let you control the pan and volume for each instrument, as well as the possibility to completely disable them. The color scheme can be changed to some of the presets, in case the default one doesn't feel inspiring.
In conclusion
To sum it up, O-Generator is a fun experience overall. The vast instrument and sound library make sure there is always something new to experiment, while the unique visuals keep your eyes as delighted as your ears. Whether you feel like making music, or looking for a fun way to spend some time, give this utility a try.

Great pho and springrolls. Service and environment typical of a noodle house, but the food is stellar and pricing is perfect. A great stop if you are craving Pho.
This restaurant must have changed owners or rebranded recently. It is now called Pho House of Noodle. Regardless of the name change, the Pho was good. I would opt for a Small or Large bowl.
It is not a high-end Pho shop. Do not expect a five star dining experience, but do expect great food. Their menu offers sever non-Pho...
I've been to a zillion Vietnamese restaurants and admittedly order the same feast each time. A huge bowl of PHO soup (differing meats tho, usually beef), the cold spring rolls in white rice paper with shrimp/pork and peanut sauce, the fried spring rolls with fish sauce and the iced vietnamese coffee with condensed milk...did so here too. A standard place,...
Love to hit Pho79 for lunch and I go there frequently. The food and service are great! Highly recommend if you like Vietnamese soup.
Went to try this place with a freshly purchased (same day) gift certificate from Restaurants.com. Was informed they did not take them any more. The manger was sent over (I thought to resolve) and repeated, rather rudely, what waiter said initially.
So now, instead of 2 new customers who could have been repeat customers, who may have brought friends and...
Affordable and so so so good. They give you so much food, ended up taking half home for lunch the next day. The outside doesn't look like much, but don't let that deter you. Go eat here!
Pho 79 is consistently good! Their soups are always fresh and I have never had anything there that wasn't fabulous. Their spring rolls are amazing! The place is clean and the staff is so friendly. I have never felt the need to go online and write a review about a place, but this place is just so good, they deserve...
I enjoy pho in general and have found Pho 79 to have consistently good soups. They open at ( am for breakfast and stay open late. The service is good and the food is quickly brought out to the table. They bring a side of bean sprouts and of asian basil which has a unique flavor. The menu also has...
The service is fast and efficient. Tasted the mixed vermicelli bowl and the mixed BBQ broken rice. Both entrees were freshly prepared and very flavorful. What a bargain! No ambiance, but it is very clean.
A favorite destination.

They are such gracious hosts. They really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and at home.
Ron Lemonds
Best place we've ever stayed!
My husband & I, as well as two other couples stayed at Boot & Saddles in early December. I have to say that it was undoubtedly THE BEST place we have ever stayed! Sam & Irith were so friendly, welcoming & helpful even before we arrived! They go out of their way to make your stay the most relaxing & fabulous time. The rooms are exquisite; spotless, comfortable, beautifully decorated and are filled with many extra touches. Each room has a different decor & feel. We have never slept so well. I'm sure it had a great deal to do with their custom bedding, those wonderful robes and ofcourse the peaceful setting!! A true hide-away! Great food, GREAT people, great place. I would recommend this inn to anyone visiting Sedona. It's the only place to stay! I can't wait to go back again!
Perfect, perfect, perfect!
We had visited Sedona before, but now we know how to do it right! Irith greeted us very warmly, and it was immediatley apparent that she and Sam wanted us to have the best possible visit. Every day we took thier suggestions about where to go and what to eat, and every experience was perfect.
Each morning we woke to the smells of a fantastic breakfast (which tasted even better), and the gorgeous view of Thunder Mountain. Even the coffee was spectacular. Sam and Irith would spend time with us, helping us decide our activites for the day, and made all of our reservations for us. In the afternoon, we delighted in a lovely snack along with wonderful chocolate chunk cookies and lemonade. We'd set off to whichever restaraunt Sam and Irith suggested, and each and every restaraunt was divine. Whether we went casual or more dressed up, they knew just the place to suit us. When we returned, our room smelled heavenly of baking bread.
We will be back, each time we return to Sedona!
If you are looking for a romantic, relaxing, personal and overall exquisite place to stay, Boots and Saddles will exceed your expectations.
Joyous, Romantic, Pure Heaven
The proprietors of Boots and Saddles, Irith and Sam, are the true jewels of a stay in Sedona. In Sedona, homes and businesses are built in clusters of development, but when you enter BnS, it's like stepping into a remote hideaway. The view of Thundermountain is awesome. You'll love slipping into the hottub at night after a day's hike, sipping wine and gazing at a blanket of stars above, feeling like the rest of the world is miles away. Each room is beautifully decorated with Irith's perfect touch for creating a true southwestern feel and romantic ambience, yet luxurious! Sam's daily gourmet breakfasts are a gastronomic event, and no matter how long your stay, you'll never be served the same dish twice! There are sweet treats tucked in every room for your noshing pleasure, and every afternoon delicious lemonade and different munchies are in the guests' dining/living room to tide you over until you head out for dinner. Sam and Irith are charming, funny and wholly devoted to ensuring your stay becomes one of the most special memories of your life. It certainly was for us. And they know all the secret tips and advice to ensure you enjoy the best trails, the best restaurants, and the best shopping. For example, they gave us the insider's scoop on the best way in to see the Grand Canyon that allowed us to by-pass the crowds, giving us a great fun day of touring the sights rather than sitting for hours on end in long lines of tourist traffic and fighting to find parking. They can save you tremendous grief by steering you to the best values and best experiences--even get you a discount here and there. My husband and I wished we had time for every jeep trip and trail hike, but there is only so much you can fit into a week. All we had to do was tell Sam and Irith what kind of experiences we were seeking, and they told us which trails and trips would best deliver the fun we wanted--and they were dead on right every time!
And whatever you want or need, they'll make all the arrangements for you, so you can just relax and enjoy. There are plenty of places to get a room with a spectacular view in Sedona--you can't look in any direction without seeing beautiful scenery. But to stay with Sam and Irith is to have a truly special, joyous, romantic, and value-packed experience that you will treasure for a lifetime.
A "Perfect 10"
Sedona is one of our favorite destinations for relaxation, art, dining, and culture. Although we usually stay at upscale hotels, we decided to try our luck at a bed and breakfast. BOY DID WE MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION!! Boots and Saddles exceeded every expectation that we had. Our charming host, Sam Raz, met us upon arrival and we immediately bonded with this charming, witty, and exceptionally knowledeable proprietor. He provided us with in-depth details of hiking trails, restaurants, and other attractions. He then led us to our room, and quite frankly, it blew us away! The decor and ambiance were everything we had imagined and more!
Sam's gourmet breakfasts would equal or surpass any that one would expect from a 5-star dining establishment! He is more than anxious to cater to individual dining preferences, and "gourmet" describes his cuisine to a "T".
We will definitely return to "Boots and Saddles" at our earliest opportunity!
Boots and Saddles is the best
My husband and I spent 6 nights at Boots and Saddles the first of June. It was our first B&B experience. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed. We stayed in the Gentleman Cowboy room and were very impressed. The room is large and very well appointed. Everything you could possibly need has been thought of and included in the room. We loved the oversized jetted tub. The view from the room is nothing short of breath taking. I can't say enough about Sam and Irith. Wonderful hosts. Sam's breakfasts were always a delightful suprise and simply to die for.
You won't go wrong staying at Boots and Saddles. It made our Sedona experience a memorable one.
Love Boots and Saddles
Our stay at Boots&Saddles was wonderful and filled with personal touches. Everything from the wonderful hosts to the beautiful rooms was perfect. Sam and Irith do a great job making you feel like at hom while at the same time feel like you are on a once in a lifetime vacation. We would highly recommend Boots & Saddles.
Our Anniversary stay at Boots and Saddles
Thanks to Sam and Irith at The Boots and Saddles B&B, we had a magnificent time on our trip to Sedona. Sam and Irith are so friendly, and sincere, they became like close family in such a short time. Their welcome, and concern helped us realize very quickly that we made a good decision to stay there. Sam is very knowlegable of the area. He suggested some incredible restaurants, and made the reservations for us. After a fantastic breakfast, his morning suggestions for hiking trails and other activities helped us take the most advantage of our time. The rooms were great, and well decorated by Irith. The location was good becouse it was quiet, and close to everything..
Our Week In Sedona, December 12-19, 2003
Chris and I had a wonderful time at Boots & Saddles Bed & Breakfast. Irith and Sam are gracious and great to be around. They made our stay the best ever at a bed and breakfast. We began each day with a scrumptious homemade breakfast along with fun conversation. Our room was very clean and decorated beautifully with a spectacular view of the Red Rocks. Each afternoon a delicious snack was prepared. We could enjoy it in the main house or right in our room if we wanted. A teapot was left in our room to have a cup of tea or hot choclate which was nice after a day of hiking or sight seeing.Irith and Sam made our trip a terrific experience. They were friendly and sincere. We felt like part of the family. I would recommend Boots & Saddles to anyone who desires a great stay in Sedona. We will definitely return on our next journey to Sedona.Sincerely,Kathleen & Chris 12-28-03
Boots and Saddles B&B
My husband and I stayed at the Boots and Saddles B&B in West Sedona in early Oct 2003. I found this B&B through the internet and after talking with the owner booked three nights. Sam and his wife Irith do everything possible to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable..there is a two course breakfast every morning (including Sam's freshly baked bread which smelled heavenly while being baked )with snacks and beverages in the afternoon and Sam bakes his homemade oatmeal choc chip cookies fresh every evening. Sam is very willing to share his love of hiking and of Sedona and Irith, being an artist, gives great shopping advice. We were very pleased with our accomodations... luxury linens and fluffly bath towels, beautiful and understated decor; small little touches everywhere..makeup remover towels for the ladies; special soaps; loads of videos/books. There are also mountain bikes available. There are guests of every age group which is always fun and interesting. The B&B is in a commercial yet quiet area and has a hot tub in the back yard overlooking a gorgeous mountain..Sedona has a "light pollution" law so no unnecessary lights at night...which makes the stars just pop out. You can't go wrong staying here.

I've confirmed that if I have: This part is normal. '''This part is bold.''' The method that invokes the strong highlighting *really*is* called before the method that prints the text: -- formatter.strong is called to open -- formatter.strong is called to close -- formatter.rawtext (one I added) is called with "This part is normal. This part is bold." You see, I don't actually print the text as I go. In order to make sure I produce proper XML, nothing is actually printed until formatter.endDocument. It seems that upon further investigation of the source code, the parser is calling the formatter on strong tags and then *inserting* whatever it returns into the text, before calling formatter.rawtext -- although this answers my question, it doesn't really solve my problem. I'm asking for advice on what the best way to build a document using DOM. This process doesn't seem to fit into the formatter method because of the problem I describe above. -- Ken Kinder Requirements Manager; Core Team -- Rackspace Managed Hosting(tm) 210-892-4025 x1095

I am very new to JSF, and I am pretty confused about the best practices of managing user logins. There are a lot of answers floating around, but they require knowledge of JSF and Java EE which I don't seem to have.
When working with a classic JSP project, I handle logins in a very simple way. When a user successfully logs in, a session attribute "isLoggedIn" is created with the value true. When the user logs out, the session is invalidated. If the "isLoggedIn" attribute is either false or missing, pages that require you to be logged in redirect to the login screen.
How would this sort of thing be done in JSF? Should I store things like login status, username, and user role in an HttpSession, or in a managed session bean?
A lot of answers that I found say that you should use request.getRemoteUser() to manage logins, but don't give any further explanation. From what I was able to gather, this method is useful if you are using domain credentials to log into the application. So is it of any use if I'm storing user credentials (username + salted and hashed password) in a database?
It would be very helpful if someone can show me how a website with the following two pages would work:
- A login page where one can enter a username and password and press a "Login" button.
- A page with the message "Login Successful", and a logout button. When the log out button is pressed, the user is logged out and brought to the login page.
If a user tries to go to the second page while they are not logged in, they will be redirected to the first page.
Like I said before, I am very new to JSF and I simply cannot find a good tutorial for how to handle this sort of thing. So any links that you feel are useful will be appreciated.
If it matters, I am using the MyFaces implementation, and the PrimeFaces component library.

Suppose I have two arrays:
val ar1 = Array[String]("1", "2", "3")
val ar2 = Array[String]("1", "2", "3", "4")
Now for each element of
ar1, I want to first concatenate that element with the corresponding element of
ar2, and then print the result. One way to do would be something like:
List.range(0, ar1.size).foreach(i => println(ar1(i)+ar2(i)))
It would have been nicer if there was a
foreach variant that would allow me to work directly with the indices of
ar1 instead of first constructing the integer list.
Perhaps there is a better way?

My wife and I recently spent 6 nights here while on vacation. We loved how close of a walk it was to the Metro station (about 8 min). The hotel room was nice. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. On the down side, the room is small. That didn't bother us personally, but it would be an issue for some people. The bathroom is especially small. We didn't like how thin the walls were. We were woken up every morning around 8 to the sound of housekeepers knocking on other doors or by people talking in the hall. There is no breakfast in the morning either. Despite the negatives, it really was an ok stay, and I would have given the hotel 4 stars.....that was until our last day. At 5am a fire alarm went off in the hotel and we had to run down seven flights of stairs to exit the building. Once downstairs we got an all clear (apparently someone had pulled the alarm) and we had to walk back up the stairs and attempt to get some more sleep. I don't blame them for the alarm. That was out of their control. However, not a word was spoken about it in the morning when we checked out. I would have thought a simple apology would be in good business taste. Apparently not. On top of that, we left our luggage at the hotel to go out and enjoy our final day of vacation. We came back mid afternoon to pick it up before going to the airport. We arranged for the hotel shuttle to pick us up at the metro station since it was pouring rain. The shuttle never came and we were forced to walk back to the hotel. I walked up to the desk dripping water and again received no apology. We even had to wait almost 30 min for the shuttle to take us back to the metro after all that. Summary: probably would have a nice stay here, but there are also probably better options.

Look at that supermoon shine
Stargazers are still abuzz over the biggest and brightest full moon of the year, which graced the skies over the weekend.
4 of 25
A "supermoon" rises behind roadside plants growing in Prattville, Ala., Saturday, June 22, 2013. The biggest and brightest full moon of the year graces the sky early Sunday as our celestial neighbor swings closer to Earth than usual. While the moon will appear 14 percent larger than normal, sky watchers won't be able to notice the difference with the naked eye. Still, astronomers say it's worth looking up and appreciating the cosmos. (AP Photo/Dave Martin)

Friends, family and loyal readers realize I would prefer pitching a tent on the side of a mountain to spending a night at the Ritz-Carlton, and would rather gobble gorp by a campfire than choke down pâté de foie gras at Le Cirque.
Considering these sensibilities I'm somewhat amused and bemused by the relatively new — or rather, newly re-invented — outdoor experience known as glamping, which is pretty much as it sounds: glamorous camping.
For an often princely sum glampers can be pampered in luxurious accommodations at seaside spas, alpine resorts, exotic game preserves, remote islands, sylvan glades and other scenic locales without having to sleep in the mud, eat out of an aluminum pot or swat at mosquitoes. Such websites as glamping.com, glampinghub.com and goglamping.net list hundreds of opportunities around the globe, including staying in a canvas pavilion with stunning views at Sanctuary Swala in Tanzania, in gracious safari tents at Fiji's Maqai Beach Eco Surf Resort or in a tented suite in Myanmar's Bagan Lodge. You can also stay in a yurt in the Rockies or a teepee in the desert.
Connecticut residents needn't travel that far to enjoy a glamping experience. The Tree House in Sharon in the northwest corner of the state offers a 500 square-foot studio apartment, "totally furnished in Asian flavor with lovely country views," that includes such amenities as air conditioning, bed linens, cell, Internet and Wi-Fi service, electricity, a hair dryer, laundry service and a hot shower, all for about $250 a night.
On the other hand, not far away you can pitch a tent at Housatonic Meadows State Park for $17 a night, or stay overnight for free at a shelter along the Appalachian Trail.
While the term glamping may be relatively new, the concept has been around for a century or more. Sporting camps in Maine and other New England states have catered to generations of hunters and fishermen from New York, Boston and other urban centers. Likewise, dude ranches out West have long attracted city folk looking to "get away from it all."
Safaris and mountaineering expeditions have also offered high-end vacations designed to take some of the roughness out of roughing it.
Full disclosure: During a week-long Himalayan trek years ago through Nepal's Khumbu Region, my wife and I signed up with a guided tour in which Sherpas and yaks carried much of our gear and cooks prepared our meals — but I don't think that quite qualified as glamping since we had to use latrines and make do without running water or electricity.
I also relied on a guide who doubled as a chef on a high-altitude mountaineering expedition in Argentina, but during that nearly month-long journey we not only didn't even have latrines we had to dig out three feet of snow before pitching tents in camps over 17,000 feet.
Anyway, I have nothing against glamping as long as it doesn't permanently intrude into the wilderness. If people want to camp in comfort, far be it for me to object — unless their deluxe safari tent remains in a pristine location all year for the comfort of a continuous parade of guests.
Though I've stayed in my share of shelters while hiking Vermont's Long Trail and on sections of the Appalachian Trail throughout New England, I'm more of a pitch your tent at night, pack up in the morning and move on kind of guy.
While glamping caters to those less inclined toward self-deprivation, I'm reminded that some forms are too rigorous for the sedentary set.
While in Nepal I joined a Sherpa and another hiker for a side excursion to the fabled Everest View Hotel, whose owners claimed it was the world's highest hostelry, at 13,000 feet. Indeed, it does offer a stunning vista that includes the tallest mountain on the planet, but I stayed at an even higher inn years later, Hotel Refugio, at 14,337 feet, while tramping back from an expedition in the Andes to Mount Aconcagua.
Japanese developers who built the Everest View in 1968 quickly ran into difficulties. Most tourists who flew from Japan and landed at the Shyangboche airstrip only a few hundred yards from the hotel experienced horrible motion sickness, and a few suffered pulmonary edema while hiking to the front desk. A few dropped dead.
During our visit the hotel was closed for business, occupied only by an ancient caretaker who sat silently in the lobby, spinning yak hair on a drop spindle. The tables were set with linen, silver and china; beds were made; pantries stocked with food.
Hotel managers for a while tried supplying guests with oxygen tanks but that proved too complex and costly, so the airstrip shut down.
Now guests who have not acclimatized to the altitude must fly to Lukla at 9,200 feet and endure a three-day hike to the hotel.
I guess that puts the Everest View out of the reach of most glampers.
I will say this, though. After weeks of holing up in a tent in the snow I was very happy to bunk down at Hotel Refugio. At that point I might even have considered glamping.

Was your Toyota inspected under the company's recall campaign for faulty airbag inflators last year? You might have another trip ahead to have it repaired again. The automotive giant says that it found "the involved serial numbers provided by the supplier were incomplete, and did not include all of the potentially involved inflators," according to its official announcement. That means more replacements are needed.
