Alec Petterson, Anabelle Buhring, Eric Lyne and Brenda Castaneda, juniors at Brush High School, have been selected to attend the Rocky Mountain Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program camp this summer.
Each year the Brush Rotary Club selects four to five students to attend the highly regarded camp, which provides students with a unique leadership training experience.
Rotary clubs in districts 5440 and 5450, throughout northern Colorado, Wyoming, eastern Idaho and western Nebraska sponsor students to participate in the five-day leadership conference. Approximately 250 students attend the summer camp, which this year will be held from July 20 to July 25 at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park.
Brush Rotary Club President-Elect Lynne Alexander said incoming juniors and seniors are eligible to apply to attend the camp and are often nominated by their teachers for their leadership abilities and potential. Alexander said students often learn about the camp through word of mouth from their peers who attended the camp in the past and had a good experience and told them "you need to check into it."
A total of seven students applied to attend the camp this year.
Serving on the Brush Rotary Club selection committee were Alexander, Bo Chapin, Larry Coughlin and Jeanine Anderson. The committee members interviewed the students who also filled out applications. The students were asked why they wanted to attend the camp, what leadership means to them, their expectations of attending the camp and their goals. Alexander said many of the applicants already had plans to attend college and career goals.
The Rotary President-Elect said the students engage in a variety of experiences at Rocky Mountain RYLA, including motivational speakers that discuss leadership, including past Colorado governors. They also compete in RYLA Olympics, small group discussions and skits, learn leadership skills, engage in team building activities as a group and learn about decision making and goal setting.
The Brush Rotary Club is fortunate to be sending four students to Rocky Mountain RYLA this year, as most clubs are only able to send two. In fact, Alexander said since Brush began sending students some 20-plus years ago, it often is able to send five students each year including last year.
However, since more and more clubs have become involved in the camp this year it was only able to send four students.
"However, we are lucky we get to send more than two students every year," Alexander said.
According to the Rocky Mountain RYLA web site the objectives of RYLA are:
•To encourage and assist youth leaders and potential leaders in methods of responsible and effective leadership by providing them with a training experience
•To encourage continued and stronger leadership of youth by youth
•To publicly recognize the outstanding qualities of many young people who are rendering service to their schools and communities as leaders
The web site also says, "The entire focus of RYLA is to provide foundational leadership skills for teenagers. It has been said that leadership cannot be taught, but it must be learned. At RYLA there are opportunities to learn leadership skills through experiential activities, incredible speakers, small group discussions, large group presentations and in building life-long friendships."

"The Patriot way" certainly rubbed off on Mark Anderson in his one year in New England.
The Buffalo Bills' defensive end said his career was transformed by spending the 2011 season in the environment fostered by coach Bill Belichick.
"I learned how to work," Anderson said Friday. "We worked hard every day. I felt like that helped my career and took my game to another level, just the preparation.
"As the years go on you mature as a player. I felt going there, the expectations and standards are so high, I felt like it could help my game and focus so I could get more serious about my craft.
Anderson had plenty of success in his lone season with the Patriots, finishing with 10 sacks and making a Super Bowl appearance.
The Bills enticed him to switch sides in the rivalry with a four-year, $19.5 million contract in the offseason.
As he prepares to face his old team Sunday in a huge AFC East showdown at Ralph Wilson Stadium, Anderson's made a favorable impression on his new team through three weeks.
"He's done a great job, I'll tell you what," defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt said. "The thing is, he's been as good on the practice field and in the meeting room as he's been on Sundays. I didn't know that much about him [before he signed], but he's been solid in all areas on and off the field. He's been a pleasure to coach."
Anderson came to the Bills with a reputation as a pass-rush specialist, but he's proven to be more than just that. He's played 143 of 206 defensive snaps, 69 percent for the year. After taking just 50 percent in the season opener (34 of 68), that number has risen to 81 percent and 76 percent, respectively, in the past two weeks.
"Other people expected him to be a one-way player. I don't think I ever expected that. I thought he could play the run from what I saw and what he played against. He's done a good job coming in and learning the entire system and how he fits in the run game," coach Chan Gailey said.
"Schematically, he's fit in well," Wannstedt said. "Everybody talks about his size, but speed makes up for a lot, particularly in our scheme of defense. He's been a good fit."
The Bills have allowed 187 yards on 50 carries to opposing teams' feature backs, an average of 3.7 yards per rush.
"It was nothing that I wanted to prove, it's just something that had to be done," Anderson said of improving his play against the run. "They brought me in here to be more than a pass rusher, so that's what I'm trying to do."
Anderson has showed his versatility in other ways, namely by dropping into coverage. That's a skill he first worked on during his one season with Houston in 2010, when he frequently stood up playing outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. He also played some coverage last season with the Patriots.
"He's smart enough to be able to understand the whole package. I think a lot of stuff they've done at New England and places he's been, he's retained a lot," Wannstedt said.
The 6-foot-4, 255-pounder also has impressive athleticism and seemingly boundless energy. During training camp, he'd be on a stationary bike during special teams drills.
"He's got so much strength and so much explosion," Wannstedt said. "He plays as hard as any defensive lineman I've been around. He makes plays. Some of them aren't pretty, but he's what I'd call a playmaker."
Anderson does have an array of somewhat unusual pass-rush moves, but they're effective. He's been credited with five quarterback hurries this season according to Pro Football Focus, which tracks every NFL snap.
"I go out there and try to give a good effort. I try to be technique sound, mentally ready on and off the field and I try to play fast," he said. "I feel I'm developing pretty well, but I've still got a long way to go to be an elite player. Each game, each week, I just try to get better. For this week I'm just trying to be a little bit better than I was last week."
Anderson started his career as a fifth-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 2006. He had a career-high 12 sacks in his rookie year, but that number dropped to just one sack in 2008 before he was released by Chicago after four games in 2010.
He signed with Houston the day after his release and finished the season there before signing with New England last year.
Anderson said watching New England quarterback Tom Brady prepare each week was an inspiration.
"He's a hard worker, man. He practices as a Pro Bowl player, as a leader. That's the kind of the guy he is," Anderson said. "His preparation is on another level. That's why he still plays on a high level. When you see the outcome, he's putting in that work to be successful."

Ms. Aretha Franklin sings "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" while wearing the best hat in the history of millinery.
55 thoughts on "More Inauguration Goodness"
Inclusive of the hat, those shades of grey between hat/coat/scarf/gloves were divine. Woman looks awesome even all bundled up against the Washington cold.
I love that hat.
I am somewhat conflicted that the hat is taking up time that could be spent talking about more substantive issues.
But seriously. That hat is fierceness incarnate.
I watched The Divine Aretha from a crowded auditorium in Detroit. She got more cheers than the President here. Which is saying something!
Inclusive of the hat, those shades of grey between hat/coat/scarf/gloves were divine. Woman looks awesome even all bundled up against the Washington cold.
With the pearl earrings and the silver pin! I know! She's got me talking like Mr. Blackwell and I buy my clothes at Land's End, ferchrissake.
I am in lust with that hat. I want it so badly, tho I am afraid I won't look even a fraction as gorgeous in it as Aretha does.
I loved the hat, but let's not forget that the Queen of Fucking Soul took that dried up old also-ran not-quite-national-anthem, and made it awesome. 'Cause she doesn't just wear hats, she also sings!
You know, speaking of substantive issues facing our nation. (Stick that in your hat, Toby Keith.)
I *whimpered* with millineristic envy when she came out.
Black woman. Black President's inauguration. What did she sing? "My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where our fathers died…"
That song doesn't often seem like it means much, but perhaps it does now.
Ailbhe – if I heard right, she even said "land where MY father died". Makes it even more meaningful.
car — Yes!
That is still an awesome hat.
Ailbhe, I had the very same thought about that phrase.
And that hat was simply epic. No other way to describe it. As was her singing.
The poem though… ugh. Srsly.
I am loving that hat, both as an object of art and as a statement. Because nobody in US society today wears hats as frequently, and as well, as black women of a certain age (the coffee-table book Crowns is a wonderful celebration of that).
And this hat comes right out of that tradition in its magnificence, and here it is in a place of honor, worn by a revered performer (a true national treasure) at the Presidential inauguration.
How awesome is that?
I'm with you on the poem, Sweet Machine–I liked it, but I wanted to be almost, well, sung…staccato cadence didn't work for me with such lyrical phrasing.
i can't get behind the hat. I thought it was butt ugly. But I will say that only she can get away with it.
I like that hat–everyone in my office was straight up mean about it. In defense, I said that I had ten ordered from awesome.diva.hats.com
I didn't particularly care for her rendention–I think she cut it up too much and she should have had a couple more long notes, showing off those pipes and giving a contrast.
I loved Simple Gifts–a bit of Kentucky–by the quartet.
SM, I can't blame you for being biased about it. I just really dislike being read to, and having poetry read to me is doubly annoying.
Ms. Beoynce's been bringing it, too with her fierce fierceness. And Bettye LaVette on Sunday! She was fantastic. And Mary J!
I hope this administration continues with the theme of FIERCE! even after the pomp and circumstance are put away.
*happy puppy sigh*
I watched this on a very fuzzy antenna-based tv today at work, so I totally could not tell that the hat. had. rhinestones. on. it. Epic win.
Hopefully, knock-offs will be available soon. In red. And when it is, I will push people out of the way to get my hands on one.
I love Obama, but I think I love that hat even more.
I had to read Free Food For Millionaires for my intro women's studies class last semester, and the main character is a part-time milliner. I think I kind of understand the fascination now.
When she started singing is when I started crying!
As soon as I got home from watching the the ceremony, I made this Aretha Icon at obamiconme.com:
Check it out!
All of it. FIERCE. :)
Love the icon Swellanor! Loved the hat too! One of the great things about being a bigger woman is that I can pull off a bigger hat!
I just watched the video. Ms Franklin totally rocked that hat!
Her voice should be declared a national treasure. But then again, this is coming from someone who would listen to her sing the phone book. * sigh *
To Bree: Thank you for not making me feel alone in NOT feeling that hat. I think it's because I've been desensitized by years of attending Baptist services. Shoot, some of my more vivid childhood memories come from giggling at the Sunday hats decked out in various beaded, sequined, laced, and formerly live creature-furred/feathered trims and accents.
To everyone else who loved the hat: More power to you, to each her own!
Dude, we could not stop talking about the hat. Spectacular.
I thought the poem was great, but the scope was generally personal and mundane building towards a greater theme, and I'm not sure that translated as well to the situation (speaking publicly on a momentous occasion, and speaking after Barack) as well as something more fiery and sweeping might *coughMayaAngeloucough*. Sarah Haskins said on her Twitter that it put her in mind of "Easter 1916," though, which I thought was interesting.
The Project Rungay dudes didn't like Michelle's outfit or her ball gown, and I confess I didn't like the latter either, but I love that (like Aretha's hat) she's always trying things that are new and maybe weird. The endless Jackie O. comparisons are certainly on to something, but she doesn't restrict herself to that look — she builds something risky on top of a classic base.
"I thought the poem was great, but the scope was generally personal and mundane building towards a greater theme, and I'm not sure that translated as well to the situation (speaking publicly on a momentous occasion, and speaking after Barack) as well as something more fiery and sweeping might *coughMayaAngeloucough*."
EXACTLY what i said, well…i said, what? no Maya Angelou?
The poem often doesn't work. When you see the footage of Kennedy's inauguration, Robert Frost–who was often a great reader of his own poetry–kind of stumbles through it. (Apparently, Frost had trouble reading it, and resorted to reciting what he remembered of the original poem, not the special version for the Inauguration, from memory.)
ok…I didn't like the hat..sorry..But yay for Aretha for wearing it.
Feel free to kill me.
As for the poem..I loved it but the way she read it sucked. I had to go and read it online to get the full scope of it.
Aretha wore the hell out of that gorgeous crown, and I was transfixed. I've been saying for years that people need to wear more and better hats. I say let the Queen of Soul show us the way into the light of fine millinery.
Like Kate, I'm thrilled that she walked right up to the line of OTT and gloriously failed to fall over it.
But hey, there are people I see all the time who wouldn't recognize me if I left off my chapeau.
As for the poem, I kept thinking that the words were good but the delivery was not working. I kept wanting someone to say those words in a less choppy, staccato way. It's nice to have that opinion backed up by Sweet Machine.
I liked Elizabeth Alexander's poem, but agree the delivery didn't really do it justice. And as someone who was at the first Clinton inaugural, I thought it was a much better poem than Maya Angelou's. Maybe if we could have had Alexander's poem read in Angelou's style?
And I LOVED the hat. What cracked me was how obsessed Chris Matthews was with Ted Kennedy's hat (which was a well-made but very traditional fedora) even after seeing Aretha's hat. He kept talking about how Kennedy was bringing back the hat, and I thought "If anyone is doing that, it's the Queen!"
I loved the hat. People were giggling to myself, but I was thinking man, where do I get one of those! I am seriously considering starting a hat obsession now; I think I can pull it off
'Kentucky? Isn't Simple Gifts a Shaker hymn'
Uhm Harrodsburg KY has/had a Shaker colony.. aka Shakertown because Kentucky's awesome. (doing my best imitation of a snotty teenager voice)
Hat was okay, song could have been better. Love loved loved the poem.
Hmmm so after watching Aretha for the second time, maybe it was better than I thought. I guess I was hoping she'd belt it out a little more.
Swellanor, can I use that icon for my facebook??? Pretty please????
car, be my guest! I'm glad you like it!
I just have one request- that you rate it or my Stephen Colbert icon, which has made it to page 4 of the top-rated obamicons! I confess, I want the millisecond of semi-fame that front-page status bestows.
Wow, she is just rockin' that hat! Love it!
"Kentucky? Isn't Simple Gifts a Shaker hymn?"
Yep, it was written at Shakertown–Harrodsburg, KY (there still are some Shakers there–about 6? and they are very old). A very cool vocalist I know has been working with old Shaker hymns/recovering them with some of the residents and the historical documents. Simple Gifts is beautiful, but a couple of the other lesser known hymns deserve to be revised as well–the harmonies and so transcendent.
By the way, Kentucky is awesome–we still have a long way to go, but we'll get there (oops, UU hymn reference).
A little slow on this, but I just saw this nugget of info you might enjoy:
There is now a facebook group dedicated to fans of Aretha's hat!
Oh, there's more than one "Fan of The Hat" group on Facebook… lol….
But for those who may still have questions about The Origins of The Hat, may I present the following:
Aretha's Hat: The True Story.
I was watching by myself in my living room–I don't even think my upstairs neighbors were home to hear me. But if someone had been around, I would have been heard to remark, aloud, to the television, "That is the best goddamn hat I have ever goddamn seen."

Eye-Fi launches Wi-Fi video upload SD
Picture upload app for iPhone also promised
Eye-Fi has launched an SD card able to support wireless video uploads onto the web, as promised.
Eye-Fi's Share Video (left) can't geo-tag like the Explore Video (right) can
The SD – of which there's actually two variants – expands on the firm's existing wireless SD card range, which allow users to wirelessly upload pictures onto the web, by adding on the capability for sending video to over 20 websites, including YouTube and Flicker.
The 4GB Eye-Fi Share Video SD is your standard video and photo upload card, but the more advanced 4GB Eye-Fi Explore Video SD automatically geo-tags the location of both photos and videos for you.
Eye-Fi also said that tomorrow it will release a free iPhone application that will allow card buyers to store and share all their photos - from both the Apple phone and a digital camera - into "the same organised computer folder" and to one of 25 online photo sharing websites.
Both video-compatible Eye-Fi cards can be pre-ordered online now, with the Share Video model priced at $80 (£56/€63) and the Explore Video card priced at $99 (£70/€79). The duo will be available in stores later this month. ®

While a majority of America is keenly aware of the housing bubble, and at least somewhat familiar with the unraveling of the European markets, little energy is being focused on what may very well be the nation's next looming fiscal crisis: the large volume of commercial real estate debt maturing during the next seven years. Guest post by Nicholas Coburn, Bloomfield Capital While a majority of America is keenly aware of the housing bubble, and at least somewhat familiar with the unraveling of the European markets, little energy is being focused on what may very well be the nation's next looming fiscal crisis: the large volume of commercial real estate debt maturing during the next seven years. According to Trepp, a provider of CMBS analytics and data to the securities and investment management industry, there will be more than $2 trillion of commercial real estate loans maturing by 2017. It's estimated that half of them are "underwater." This means that fully $1 trillion in commercial real estate loans will mature without a clear refinancing strategy. These loans will not be refinanceable at existing debt levels, due to a decrease in underlying asset value. And today's lending standards are much tighter than those of the middle 2000s, which further compounds the problem. The lenders holding these overvalued loans will seek to either (1) right-size the loan balance at maturity through a large equity injection by the borrower (if an extension is even entertained), (2) foreclose on the loan and sell the underlying collateral or (3) sell the loans at the maximum price attainable (oftentimes at a discount to the par value). In each of these resolutions, there will be significant opportunity for borrowers and third-party buyers alike to purchase real estate or real estate debt at significant discounts to legacy value. This massive de-leveraging of commercial real estate not only creates valuable buying and restructuring opportunities, it also highlights an even larger underlying problem: Who is going to be the capital provider for these fast-moving and non-traditional real estate transactions? All-Too Common Scenarios A commercial real estate developer that financed a retail project in 2005 today finds that the property is now worth less than the face value of the debt owed on the asset. Tenants have left the property, rents have fallen from peak pricing and though new tenants are seeking to lease the space at lower rental rates, there is a need for capital to pay for tenant improvements and leasing commissions. To add to the complexity of the situation, perhaps the existing lender has recently called a maturity default and is not willing to offer any extension or forbearance options. Since this loan may be non-recourse, and currently not covering debt service payments, there is little incentive for the borrower to make interest payments out of pocket or inject a large amount of fresh capital into the project to "right-size" the loan and find a new conventional lender. In the above scenario, there are several different potential outcomes for the asset, and several pitfalls with conventional financing for each: 1. The original lender forecloses on the asset and sells to a new owner: A new operator sees this as a value investment, but few lenders are willing to lend on an asset that is being operated by a bank or receiver, and is under-performing, and will not cover debt service upon the inception of a new loan. Therefore, only cash buyers can purchase the now distressed asset. Constraining the buying pool to this group reduces asset pricing, and therefore the bank's ultimate recovery. 2. The bank offers the borrower a discounted payoff on an existing loan. In this situation, it is very difficult for a borrower to find a new lender to provide the capital to pay off the legacy lender, both because the payoff opportunity is likely only available for a short period of time and because there is institutional reluctance among banks and traditional lenders to replace what is viewed as a competitor's problem. 3. The bank sells the loan at a discount. Lenders may take this approach to achieve a quicker resolution than they might get through foreclosure and sale, to potentially preserve a banking relationship with a customer, or simply to get the bad loan quickly off the balance sheet. It also allows the legacy lender the ability to avoid the moral hazard of providing the existing "bad" borrower a discounted payoff opportunity. Traditional real estate lenders—banks, conduits, and insurance companies—are simply not able to provide the responsiveness and creativity that these scenarios often demand. Typical 60- to 90-plus-day closing timelines, extensive third-party appraisals and multiple layers of management often negate any potential financing before a loan application is even submitted. Accelerated and reliable deal execution is almost completely non-existent in this new lending landscape, and yet it is the most important factor in managing the tremendous overhang of legacy debt. Where to Turn? Commercial real estate bridge capital sources—nimble and capable debt and equity providers—are stepping up to fill the void that conventional lenders can't and won't. Niche capital sources will indeed welcome the opportunity to provide the borrower the necessary proceeds for a short period of time to re-stabilize the asset, and ultimately refinance it at an appropriate debt level. Such a partner can: 1. Provide the debt necessary for the operator to quickly purchase and re-stabilize the property so that it will be more financeable in the traditional real estate debt markets. 2. Seek out these value opportunities and can provide the capital necessary to allow the borrower to take advantage of a discounted payoff opportunity. The borrower would use the lender's proceeds for a short period of time to re-stabilize the asset, and ultimately refinance at an appropriate debt level with a traditional real estate lender. 3. Facilitate opportunities for a new value-seeking borrower to purchase a property that a traditional lending source may not want to lend on, particularly if it has been neglected by the prior owner. 4. Acquire notes to manage, service and work out, potentially in partnership with the original borrower. To Make Matters Worse? Compounding this problem can be issues of deal size and geography. Transitional situations are more typical for loan and property sizes under $10 million—too small for larger institutional investors to take interest in. Furthermore, coastal money tends to focus on the coastal markets, often ignoring underserved areas needing these types of solutions and relief, such as Nashville, Dallas, Phoenix, Detroit, Houston, Charlotte, Cleveland, Tampa and Atlanta. Some examples of transitional financing successes: One instance is a 312-unit apartment complex in Dallas, a property that was originally acquired in 2006 for $14 million and financed with $10 million in debt. The deterioration of real estate values in 2008 resulted in the property becoming overleveraged. This, along with the borrower's expectation that it would lose the property, resulted in reduced investment and focus on the asset. Ultimately, in the interest of avoiding a lengthy and costly foreclosure, receivership and liquidation process, the lender offered the borrower a discounted payoff of the loan for $5 million, or 50% of the legacy debt amount. But the payoff would have to occur within three weeks. Fortunately, this borrower was able to secure a $5.2 million mortgage loan in this time-compressed situation. The recapitalized balance sheet and additional term allowed the borrowers to reinvest time and capital in the asset. The borrowers stabilized the property and ultimately refinanced the bridge loan within 13 months. Another interesting success story is a 300-unit hotel located in Lexington, Ken. The property was one of the last non-franchised assets owned by a major flag operator and was being acquired by an experienced hotel operator planning to reposition the hotel under a new flag. Traditional financing for this transaction was unavailable because it involved a complicated ground lease, brand transition and a short time frame to close. Closer examination revealed a backlog of room bookings, projected event-based market factors, and low loan-to-replacement value. The operator was able to secure a 12-month, $4.9 million loan that gave the borrowers time to transition the brand, stabilize the asset, and refinance into long-term debt with an SBA loan. In Memphis, the operator of a 150-unit apartment building had borrowed $4.4 million against the property in 1999 and eventually lost it to foreclosure in 2009.The prior lender took the property back as real estate-owned (REO) in September 2009 and sold it in May of 2010 to a new investor that needed financing. The new owner acquired the property for $2.9 million and invested $700,000 in acquisition equity in addition to escrowing $550,000 for capital improvements. Abridge loan of $2.2 million was used to finance the transaction. This loan represented a 50 percent discount to legacy debt, and less than $15,000 per unit. This creative loan gave the borrower time to make capital improvements to the asset and stabilize the occupancy; it was eventually refinanced by a $3.6 million Fannie Mae loan. Getting Creative For brokers, borrowers and lenders alike, the lessons are these: 1. Don't assume. There is a danger in assuming the banks are freely lending again…and equal folly in assuming that there are no capital providers looking to invest in opportunistic situations. Do your homework and evaluate all options. 2. Understand your position and desired outcomes. If you are a property owner, do you want to retain the asset and create value, but feel like you're in a no-win situation with your current debt situation? Determine what your true endgame is—it's often not default—and find the solution that will achieve it. 3. Time is of the essence. Know your time horizons. If traditional lending sources are not going to be an option for you to restructure your debt, it's better to know that as early as possible so that you can start making plans B and C. 4. Deal with trusted partners.The dynamic financing markets, coupled with the great need for capital, and the promises of new and lucrative opportunities have given rise to a lot of new names and players promising solutions that they cannot deliver. Do your homework, get references, and make sure you are dealing with capitalized partners that have a verifiable track record of honest and responsive business practice. Ultimately, the chief lesson is this: We must recognize the reality and severity of the times that lie before us. The over-leveraging of over-valued properties pre-2008 will not be solved by organic value growth, increasing rental revenue, inflation or otherwise. The near-term expiration of nearly $1 trillion in legacy debt will require a broad-based de-leveraging, and the entire universe of players in the commercial real estate market—from borrowers to lenders and brokers—need to work in concert to develop creative, flexible solutions for the spectrum of property owners throughout the country that will need them.

The Submarine Force Library & Museum Association
Originally established as "The Submarine Library" by the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in 1955, the Library gained respect for its considerable archival and research value. In April 1964, Electric Boat Division donated the entirety of its historical submarine library holdings to the Navy and relocated it to the Submarine Base New London, in Groton, Connecticut. The name "Submarine Force Library and Museum" was formally adopted in 1969. The Submarine Force Library and Museum Association Inc. (SFLMA) was formed as a non-profit, tax-exempt, organization and incorporated in 1972 to achieve the educational and charitable purposes enumerated in its Certificate of Incorporation.
In the early 1980's, the idea of returning USS NAUTILUS SSN 571, the world's first nuclear propelled submarine, to Groton, Connecticut, began to take shape. The SFLMA Executive Board recognized the significant advantages that would accrue to co-locating the Library and Museum with this historic ship and in 1984, the CONNECTICUT NAUTILUS COMMITTEE was formed to raise funds to bring this idea to fruition. The committee was successful in achieving the design, construction and outfitting of a 14,000 square foot facility on the banks of the Thames River in Groton and received funding from the State of Connecticut and individual and corporate sources. This new facility opened in April 1986.
The banner that adorned the bow of NAUTILUS when she was launched on January 21, 1954 has been donated to the museum. The banner, which can be seen in the attached launch photo measures approximately four feet wide by thirty feet long and consists of a blue field containing thirteen stars and then five alternating red and white stripes. The banner will be displayed in the museum after it has been preserved.
In late 1997 the Association undertook the task of building a much needed 13,465 square foot addition to the current museum, which had not received any major improvements since its opening. In mid 1998 the Association launched Campaign 2000 to raise $4 million in funds to expand and improve the Submarine Force Library and Museum. Building of the new addition commenced in late 1998, was completed in early 2000 and was officially opened to the public on 28 April 2000 in conjunction with the Centennial Celebration of the United States Submarine Force.
The Library and Museum's current collection ranges from submarine pioneer John Holland's notes and calculations for the Navy's first submarine to the many one-of-a-kind artifacts from World War I and World War II, to the combined Navy and Electric Boat Corporation's private submarine library collection, to the story of the United States Submarine Force technical and operational developments throughout the Cold War.
Museum admission is free. All profits from Association membership and the Museum Store go to supporting the work of the Museum including new accessions, exhibit upgrades and Museum enhancements.

Cattier is a family-owned Champagne house situated in the village Chigny-les-Roses in the Montagne de Reims part of Champagne, France. The Cattier Family have been vineyard owners since 1763, and started to produce Champagnes under their own name in 1918. Cattier owns 20 hectares of vineyards, which are mainly classified as Premier Cru on the village-based Champagne classification scale Autre Cru — Premier Cru — Grand Cru. In 2006, Cattier's sales exceeded one million bottles for the first time.
Cattier produces a number of Champagnes ranging in varietal composition from 100% Chardonnay (a Blanc de blancs) to 75% dark-skinned Pinots (noir and Meunier) and 25% Chardonnay. Cattier is also noted for producing several Champagnes in spectacular bottles, such as a blue glass bottle with a pewter label, a red glass bottle (under the designation "Red Kiss"), a gold-plated bottle designed by Pascal Morabito (under the designation Brut Sésame Millésimée), and a transparent bottle (under the designation Brut Quartz 1er Cru). The content of the spectacular bottles is in some cases Cattier's standard Champagne, and in other cases a limited special cuvée. Sometimes a metal-thread presentation case, in some made of golden-colored thread in arabesque design, is included with the bottles.
In 2006, a dormant Champagne name owned by Cattier, de Brignac, was resurrected to be used for some of Cattier's spectacular bottles. Cattier began a collaboration with Sovereign Brands to market the brand, and a separate website for the newly named Armand de Brignac was established. The Champagne Armand de Brignac Brut Gold was introduced featuring a gold-colored bottle with a pewter label made in an ace of spades design.

New UGG Boots I reflected on the statements of recent times. It seems that we all enjoy some distinct impression on the people we meet, whether a friend or a stranger on the street. We make verbal statements to identify our cultural UGG Boots heritage, themarital status, or bracketage. We also make statements based on his eye?in which we organize ourselves, our clothes, our fa?we walk and gestures. Studies show that 60% of the information we receive from others is based on nonverbal and body language. On top of that only 10% of all communication is handled by ugg australia the words you say. Based on this information, verbal statements do not mean that much. So let's focus on visual states. Much of the visual proposals will be based on your personality and his?is your approach to the world.

NEW ORLEANS — A federal judge will decide next month whether to accept a plea deal that calls for BP PLC to pay a record $4.5 billion in penalties for its role in a deadly 2010 rig explosion and the massive oil spill it triggered in the Gulf of Mexico.
To resolve a Justice Department probe, the London-based oil giant agreed last month to plead guilty to criminal charges involving the deaths of 11 workers and to lying to Congress about how much oil spilled from its blown-out well.
After a closed-door meeting Tuesday with attorneys, U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance scheduled a Jan. 29 hearing where she will either accept or reject BP's plea agreement with the government.
BP can withdraw its agreement if she rejects the deal. If she accepts it, Vance must impose a sentence that adheres to the agreed-upon terms.
The penalties that BP agreed to pay include the biggest criminal fine in U.S. history.
The proposed settlement doesn't resolve separate criminal charges against four current or former BP employees.
Vance ordered federal probation officials to conduct a presentence investigation and submit a report to her by Jan. 14. She also ordered BP and the Justice Department to submit a joint memo by Jan. 16 that explains why the plea deal "adequately reflects the seriousness of the offenses and accepting the agreement satisfies the statutory purposes of sentencing."
The settlement includes payments of nearly $2.4 billion to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, $350 million to the National Academy of Sciences and about $500 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which accused BP of misleading investors by lowballing the amount of crude that was spilling from its blown-out well.
It also includes nearly $1.3 billion in fines. The largest previous corporate criminal penalty assessed by the Justice Department was a $1.2 billion fine against drug maker Pfizer in 2009.

Having been released as a launch game for the PlayStation 2, Namco's original MotoGP was a solid racing game that accurately represented the sport of Grand Prix road racing and successfully translated what is one of the most physically demanding motorsports into a visually realistic game--one that was easily accessible to casual racing fans while still maintaining a lot of appeal for hard-core buffs. If MotoGP had one failing, though, it was the lack of racetracks that were available--with only five circuits, the game's replay value suffered. Fortunately, MotoGP 2 has twice the number of tracks available, and it includes just enough other enhancements to make it a worthwhile successor to MotoGP.
Like the first game, MotoGP 2 boasts bikes, racetracks, and factory teams that are licensed from Dorna's 2001 500cc Grand Prix (GP for short) league. Anyone who's familiar with the sport will undoubtedly appreciate being able to race alongside Alex Criville from Team Respol YPF Honda or Telefonica Suzuki's Kenny Roberts Jr. on 10 of the season's 16 circuits. Five of MotoGP's original tracks--Suzuka, Paul Ricard, Jerez, Donington, and Motegi--are still available in MotoGP 2, as are five brand-new courses, which include Catalunya, Assen, Le Mans, Mugello, and Sachsenring. The overall mechanics of MotoGP 2 remain essentially unchanged from those of the original. This means that the three primary gameplay modes of arcade, championship, and time trial are included in this sequel. As you can probably infer from its name, arcade is a straightforward mode that gives you the option of riding for one of the many teams represented in the game against 20 other riders on any of the 10 tracks. You can further custom-tailor your race by choosing the number of laps, adjusting the difficulty of other riders, and fiddling with one of five generic performance variables for your bike--transmission, handling, acceleration, brakes, and tires--and that's one more than the original game offered, by the way. Another new option is the ability to select wet weather, which severely impairs your vision and handicaps your bike's traction.
The time trial mode is similar to the arcade mode, and it lets you choose from the same number of prerace options, but you'll be pitting your skills against the clock, not other riders. Of these three modes, though, championship is easily the one with the most appeal. Here, you can choose to race for one of three beginner teams across all 10 tracks in succession, as you would in the real world. Before each race, you're given one practice session to tweak your bike's performance to that particular course and one qualifying round to determine your grid standing before you actually jump into the race. At the end of each race, you're given a certain number of points depending on where you placed. If the total number of points you earn at the end of 10 races (one season) meets your team's requirement, then you're allowed to sign a new contract with them. Or you can opt to jump to a better team that'll give you a faster bike if you meet its requirements. The rider with the most points after five seasons is crowned the overall champ. It would have been nice to have the option of racing the actual 2001 16-race season as it happened in real life, but it would have been impossible to model the game's different team requirements with only a single season, since nobody switches teams in midseason. As it is, MotoGP 2's championship mode in its current form, as with MotoGP's, is more than acceptable.
Likewise, the control game is no different from MotoGP's. An option before any race lets you turn the "simulation mode" on or off. When it's off, MotoGP 2's control scheme is very simple, and for the most part, you'll be able to be competitive even if you drive your bike like you would a car. When simulation is turned on, though, the bikes become temperamental and overly responsive to any control input you give them. MotoGP 2 does a good job of modeling rear-wheel spin coming out of turns and front-wheel lockups during braking, and simply mashing the gas and brake buttons around corners is a good way of acquainting yourself with the asphalt. The game makes full use of the Dual Shock's vibration to telegraph loss of adhesion before a total wipeout, and the controller's analog buttons offer enough leeway that you won't have to tap on the gas or brakes while cornering.
The challenge mode from the original game has also made its way into MotoGP 2. Though all 10 of the game's tracks are initially available for you to race on in any of the three modes, you can choose from only 12 of the game's 39 total motorcycles from the outset. You can unlock the remainder of these bikes by successfully completing the 70 challenges, which vary in difficulty and include everything from braking within a certain distance to beating a certain track's lap record. While some of the challenges might seem frustrating--some of them really are--the rewards you'll earn by completing them are certainly worth the headache. That's because in addition to gaining access to a variety of new bikes, completing the challenge mode unlocks an option called legends, a mode that will undoubtedly tug at the heartstrings of GP racing fans. Legends mode is very much like the standard arcade mode in that you choose a bike, track, and set your many racing options before jumping into the actual race. But instead of competing against a field of 20 riders from the 2001 roster, you get to race against five of the motorsport's all-time greats: Michael Doohan and his '99 Honda, Kenny Roberts Sr. and his '81 Yamaha, Kevin Schwantz and his '94 Suzuki, Freddie Spencer and his '89 Yamaha, and ultimate champ Wayne Rainey and his '93 Yamaha. These five riders are more skilled than any of the game's other 20 racers, and they'll hound you around the tracks relentlessly. What's more, once this mode is unlocked, you're given the ability to race as any of these five legends in the arcade and time trial modes.
Bringing the entire game to life is a slightly updated version of MotoGP's graphics engine. The updates don't constitute a full face lift--it's more like a quick nip and tuck. The bike models are essentially unchanged, although the riders are composed of a lot more polygons and animate much more realistically than the somewhat stiff motion of the original game. Likewise, some trackside environmental effects--like reflections on your rider's helmet and bike's gas tank--are more apparent than they were in MotoGP. A not-so-subtle enhancement to the original game's graphics are the new wet weather effects. In fact, the rain droplets that mar your vision in the first-person view rival the effect pioneered by Metal Gear Solid 2. Unfortunately, however, the bland techno beats from MotoGP have received no such enhancements, and while you have the merciful option of turning the music off, it would have been nice if the game included a soundtrack that featured something other than mindless beats. Thankfully, the actual sounds in the game, including the whiny engines and the crowd noise, are well done and never get repetitive.
To a passerby, MotoGP 2 might not look very different from its predecessor. Certainly, only someone who has played the original game will be able to appreciate the new additions. Nonetheless, MotoGP 2 features more changes and enhancements to the original game than most annual sports games from EA or Sega do, and the bottom line is that MotoGP 2 is a great addition for racing fans who missed the original MotoGP among the sea of more popular launch games such as SSX and Ridge Racer V, and those who do own the original will certainly appreciate all the new changes that this sequel incorporates.

NEW YORK (AP) - Stocks moved higher Thursday as investors weighed a pair of positive economic reports against worries about Syria.
NEW YORK (AP) � Stocks moved higher Thursday as investors weighed a pair of positive economic reports against worries about Syria.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 28 points, or 0.2 percent, to 14,851 in the first half-hour of trading. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up three points, or 0.2 percent, at 1,638 and the Nasdaq composite rose 19 points, or 0.6 percent, to 3,613.
Dow component Verizon Communications was the biggest gainer in both the Dow and the S&P 500 after Britain's Vodafone confirmed it's in talks with Verizon to sell its 45 percent stake their joint venture, Verizon Wireless.
Verizon rose $1.91, or 4.1 percent to $48.46. The U.S.-listed shares of Vodafone rose $2.47, or 8.4 percent, to $31.88 on the news.
A lot of traders' attention was on economic data that came out before the opening bell. The U.S. economy grew at a 2.5 percent annual rate from April through June, much faster than previously estimated, the Commerce Department said. The figure was revised up from 1.7 percent as more U.S. companies exported goods and imports declined.
Also, the Labor Department said the number of people who filed for unemployment benefits last week fell to 331,000, the fewest in five years.
"It does support our belief that August was another month of steady employment growth," economists with the investment bank RBS wrote in a research report.
While lower unemployment claims and an upward revision on GDP are both positive signs, most of Wall Street's attention is focused on next week, when the August jobs report will be released. The Federal Reserve is expected to decide the fate of its massive bond-buying program in mid-September, and the August jobs report will be the last bit of heavy economic data the central bank will have to work with before making its decision.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.81 percent from 2.77 percent on Wednesday following the stronger economic reports.
Traders also continue to focus on Syria, where a U.S-led military strike could arrive in the coming days. British Prime Minister David Cameron's office laid out the legal justifications for a military strike Thursday, while France's defense minister said the French military was ready to commit forces with the approval of President Francois Hollande.
Investors worry that a limited tactical strike against Syria could drag the U.S. and its allies into Syria's civil war, or worse, set off a regional conflict in an area where so much of the world's oil is located.
The price of crude oil fell 74 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $109.40 a barrel in early trading. Oil had gone as high as $112 a barrel earlier this week.
In other corporate news, teen clothing store operator Guess jumped $3.11, or 11 percent, to $30.52 after the company reported second-quarter profit and revenue late Wednesday that blew past market expectations. The retailer also raised its full-year profit forecast.
Campbell Soup fell $1.44, or 3 percent, to $43.25 after posting a loss for its fiscal fourth quarter, stung by a charge related to the potential sale of its European simple meals business. Its earnings topped Wall Street's estimates but revenue missed expectations.

text: As I have mentioned elsewhere, I have seen little of this tournament. However, looking at the results, reports etc, it seems that we can look forwards to a very, very good super 8 in the World Cup. Every team has had at least one win thus far, and as such no teamk has dominated. I think it's a shame I have missed this tournament on the mostpart, and it seems to have been very good thus far. But it really does bode well for the World Cup, and I reckon the Super 8 might result in one of the most exciting and unpredictable WCs that we have had?

Police find stolen items linked to burglaries
Apartment in Daytona Beach raided
Daytona Beach police said Thursday that they've cracked the case of a serial burglar.
Investigators said they raided an apartment off Clyde Morris Boulevard and found multiple TVs, electronics, fishing poles and furniture that had been stolen from area homes recently.
Police said one dozen homes in the Colonial Colony South and Carriage Cove neighborhoods were broken into within the past month.
Police arrested Jose Rodriguez-Garcia Monday for loitering in the area, but they've since linked him to many of the break-ins.
Authorities said he didn't live in the apartment they searched Thursday, but that is where he allegedly sold a lot of his stolen items.
Investigators said the person buying a lot of the stolen items was not home when they served the search warrant, but when he's located, he will also be arrested.

Consensus Report
Performance Metrics for the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (2013)Nuclear and Radiation Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
This report provides advice on how to better evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture, a worldwide network of sensors, telecommunications and personnel that serves to deter and detect attempts to unlawfully transport radiological or nuclear material. The Domestic Nuclear Detection Office within the Department of Homeland Security, together with several federal partners, is responsible for reporting on the performance of the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA) each year. However, developing meaningful metrics and gathering appropriate data to gauge the progress of the GNDA is proving challenging. In part, this is because the GNDA works to address the threat of a high-consequence event that has never occurred, and because it must protect against a wide variety of adaptive and committed adversaries and threat materials.
The report finds that in theory it is possible to gauge the effectiveness of the GNDA. However, the committee finds that it is not feasible to develop outcome-based metrics to gauge the GNDA's effectiveness within the existing GNDA strategic plan. There are two reasons for this: the higher-level goals and objectives within the strategic plan not primarily outcome-based, and many objectives are focused on individual GNDA layers or resources, not the full architecture. Moreover, the higher-level goals are disconnected from the objectives and lower-level performance goals. This report presents a notional strategic plan (with notional outcome-based metrics) and a new analysis framework to evaluate the metrics and to prioritize the GNDA's goals and objectives. The report provides recommendations on developing a revised strategic plan and a notional strategic plan with metrics.
Key Messages
- The committee provides several examples and concludes that it is fundamentally possible to develop outcome-based metrics to gauge the effectiveness of the GNDA. However, the committee finds that it is not feasible to develop outcome-based metrics against the existing performance goals within the existing GNDA strategic plan. This report presents a notional strategic plan (with notional outcome-based metrics) and new analysis framework.
- There is no clear lead architect or single entity to make final decisions about or to be held accountable for the design and operation of the GNDA. Furthermore, there is no centrally controlled GNDA budget; GNDA-related detection and reporting activities are intertwined with diverse mission activities across GNDA federal agencies and do not have specific lines of funding. Thus, there is no single congressional appropriation for the GNDA nor is there a single entity with budgetary control over GNDA activities across multiple agencies.
- The GNDA operates within a larger nuclear counterterrorism (NCT) mission. Its scope is limited to deterrence, detection, and reporting. When considering how to address and define the GNDA strategy and goals, focusing solely on the detection and reporting mission may limit wider U.S. government actions that span multiple components of the NCT mission space.

Linux: a good deal with drawbacks
As Linux servers gain acceptance, the question of how Linux plays on storage networks arises. Not so bad, is the short answer, but not as well as you might hope, either.
|Linux stars on the mainframe
Mainframes may ultimately drive Linux into corporate computing. Linux and the mainframe combine the robustness of mainframe computing with the flexibility of the open-systems environment.
"With Linux on the mainframe, you can quickly run new applications on the Linux instances without risk to your other applications," says John Eilert, co-author of Linux on the Mainframe. A Linux application can fail while everything else continues to hum along.
Colorado State University's computer science department in Boulder is conducting research on virtual Linux servers running on an IBM mainframe. The group put Linux on top of an IBM 9672 model YX6 running the VM operating system. The system is configured with 3TB to 5TB of storage to handle 500 Linux instances. A Linux instance can be a computer science student, a Web server or some other application. The Linux mainframe project is part of the department's ongoing research into DB2 and Linux on IBM's System 390, says Dan Turk, assistant professor.
One problem the researchers found running Linux on VM turned out to be backup, or, more specifically, recovery. "There was a nightly backup of the full VM system with all the Linux instances," says Gregory Wobermin, a student member of the research team. The backup process turned out to be slow and resource-intensive. Although the backup worked fine, restoring specific files on individual Linux instances proved difficult. "We couldn't select an individual file to restore. We would have to restore the entire system image before we could pull out the file we wanted," he says. This took an enormous amount of time and resources.
The solution turned out to be Tivoli Storage Manager. The Tivoli server software runs on the VM layer. The team installed Tivoli client software--approximately 2MB in size--on each Linux instance. With Tivoli installed and running, the researchers did a full initial backup once. After that, they only backed up file changes. "Restore was easy. There is a Web interface and we just select the files we want for each instance," Wobermin says. Installing the Tivoli software on each Linux client was easy as well: You set it up on one instance and then copy it to all the others.
The only hitch comes at the end of the semester when the team has to re-create all the Linux instances to accommodate new students. Few businesses, however, will face a situation of wholesale turnover every three or four months.
With Tivoli in place, the nightly backup now consumes far fewer system resources. The incremental backups are fast, and the restore process is simple and quick. The learning curve, however, was significant. "We knew almost nothing about VM and only a little about Linux," says Wobermin. He adds: "We had to do a lot of reading."
"Today, Linux is just entering the mainstream," says Dan Kusnetzky, vice president, systems software research, International Data Corp. (IDC), Framingham, MA. In the latest IDC Linux survey, 15% of respondents reported using Linux for database applications-- compared to just 6% a few years ago. However, when it comes to mission-critical production applications, Linux still receives little attention, maybe 3%, says Kusnetzky.
From the enterprise standpoint, there's nothing inherent in Linux that would complicate storage any more than any other new operating system. Like the various flavors of Unix and Windows servers already in the enterprise environment, Linux servers can connect through SCSI adapters and host bus adapters (HBAs) to storage resources. Linux servers also run as virtual instances on a mainframe, which handles the storage for Linux. But like any new element in the IT infrastructure, Linux brings its own complications that require new skills, new drivers and new storage management tools. Vendors have made progress, but users still face significant holes in Linux's storage compatibility as compared to other popular operating systems.
Lower costs and flexibility
The appeal of Linux is straightforward: lower costs and flexibility. "You can get Linux on a low-cost Intel box and not pay anything for the operating system," says Mike Karp, senior analyst, Enterprise Management Associates, Boulder, CO. As for flexibility, "you are not locked into any product."
The cost issue alone is a slam dunk for Linux. When BAE Systems Inc., in San Jose, CA, wanted to find a replacement for a Sun Solaris server running a key Oracle application that needed more horsepower, it found that "we could get an Intel box for 40 cents on the dollar compared to Sun," says Daniel Dodge, manager of software infrastructure for the aerospace and defense manufacturer. The company saved even more money opting for Red Hat Linux rather than Windows Server 2000.
But Linux isn't without its drawbacks, Karp concedes. "Nobody owns Linux. With Linux, things are a little ad hoc," he says, referring to the lack of a major vendor to take responsibility for the operating system. Many Linux vendors are small and young, although this is less of a concern with open-source products where you have full access to the source code. Many open-source tools--although free--offer only an informal support community rather than the comprehensive support infrastructure IT managers have come to expect from proprietary tools vendors.
The support of major vendors, however, is a stabilizing factor for Linux. "Oracle is a big proponent of Linux, and that was very important to us," says Dodge. BAE stuck with major vendors right down the line in its Linux implementation: Dell Computer Corp. (servers and storage), Oracle (database) and Veritas Software Corp. (storage management).
Still, users who want to deploy Linux and enterprise storage do encounter some problems. For example, leading enterprise storage vendors have been slow to provide the latest drivers for Linux. "There are still no EMC drivers for the latest version of SuSE," says Stevan Townsend, manager of database administration, Tractor Supply Co., Nashville, a retail farm and ranch store with more than 400 locations in 30 states. At its central office, the company runs an Oracle database for its SAP applications, a sales and audit application and a data warehouse on a Linux cluster running the PolyServe Linux clustering software. It stores the data on a 14TB EMC Symmetrix storage array. EMC is not the only slowpoke when it comes to keeping up with the latest Linux releases. "QLogic and Veritas are slow to deliver agents," says Townsend, but he adds that they all eventually come through. Tractor Supply just ordered an EMC Clariion array for its Linux cluster.
Another potential problem for enterprise storage users is the 2TB logical volume limit of the Linux kernel. "This was an issue early on, but it will go away," says Ranajit Nevatia, director of Linux strategy, Veritas, referring to the next major Linux kernel release, V 2.6, which will eliminate the 2TB limit. A test version of the new kernel, 2.6test, has already been released to developers. The general release could happen later this year or early next year. But even without the next kernel, "there are a lot of applications that fit within 2TB," he says.
True enough, but DreamWorks SKG, Glendale, CA, a film production and distribution company running Linux clusters in a large mixed environment along with several enterprise storage area networks (SANs) built around IBM ESS and Hewlett-Packard storage arrays, can look ahead and see the 2TB limitation becoming a problem soon. "Our largest file today is 600GB, but our digital asset management system will hit 2TB next year," says Rick Garcia, senior system administrator. The immediate fix is to split the file, but that creates more management work. "Linux 2.6 will solve the problem," he says. The only question is whether Linux 2.6 will arrive soon enough.
Limited storage support
Maybe the biggest problem facing enterprise storage managers is today's limited tool selection for Linux storage. For example, Veritas offers a clustering file system for other platforms, but the Linux version isn't expected until early 2004, Veritas' Nevatia says.
Many of Computer Associates' (CA) BrightStor enterprise storage management products have been ported to Linux. However, CA's SAN Manager and SAN Designer have not. But there is a workaround, says David Liff, vice president, BrightStor brand marketing: "Most companies don't have Linux-only SANs," but companies can manage Linux on mixed SANs using Windows or Unix versions of the CA tools along with its Linux agents.
The Linux storage tool picture is improving seemingly weekly. For example, PyX Technologies, El Cerrito, CA, has developed both client and server software based on Linux for iSCSI-enabled storage. The product--which made its debut in August--fully conforms to the iSCSI standard as ratified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), according to PyX. Its iSCSI software is being bundled into products from ASA Computers Inc., Database Appliances and Pogo Linux Inc.
Instead of waiting for tools from major storage vendors, many Linux administrators manage Linux storage with tools--often free--from the open-source community. Administrators simply download tools such as MRTG, which tracks and graphically displays network conditions, and Samba, which provides file and print services to server message block (SMB) clients, right off the Internet. "There is a lot of freeware out there," says Eric Wright, an independent Linux consultant, Annapolis, MD, and creator of The Linux Spot Web site. Other online sources for tools are: www.Linux.org and www.Freshmeat.net.
The Linux Spot runs on an IBM Netfinity Pentium server with an IBM ServeRAID Ultra 160 SCSI RAID 5 controller and a Compaq ProLiant external RAID array. At one point, The Linux Spot ran almost 1TB of direct-attached SCSI storage, although Wright has cut it back as he shifted the site to primarily FTP serving.
Many small Linux sites still get by with internal disk storage or a small directly attached array. Typical is Tarot.com, which provides online divination, readings and astrology. "We just use internal storage, no NAS, no SAN," says Eric O'Dell, senior database administrator.
The company keeps its two million record customer file on a MySQL database running on Red Hat Linux. It has a generic Intel server with dual Zeon processors. The company is only now focusing on storage with the acquisition of its first external RAID array. Two database servers will share a 45GB partition, leaving 90GB of unused capacity for growth, O'Dell explains. The biggest decision: which shared file system to use, Sistina's GFS or ext3. After trying both, the company settled on ext3, a popular journaling file system. "We were experiencing a [database] consistency problem and ext3 resolved it," O'Dell says.
Few companies have converted their large enterprise storage infrastructures to Linux or are likely to do so, at least anytime soon, suggests IDC's Kusnetzky.
Increasingly, however, organizations are adding Linux systems into their environments, often starting with a DNS or Apache server and expanding from there. In the process, they are incorporating Linux servers into their storage strategies. Storage vendors are closely monitoring the trend. HBA manufacturers, management software providers and other storage vendors are slowly supporting Linux. It may not be the operating system they address first, but Linux is definitely on their to-do list.
