Scott gives thanks to Brass
PAUL Scott has said former caretaker boss Chris Brass will be sadly missed in the dressing room. Speaking on behalf of the players, the Shakers skipper told the Bury Times that he was saddened by the news that Brass has stepped down from his role as Alan Knill's assistant to concentrate on his work with the centre of excellence and a part-time playing career with Hyde United.

Snug with grand views
Seven months after Bob Caldwell became a widower, the next chapter in his life unfolded quickly. He placed his home and two acres of land in Bowie on the market, setting in motion a major change in lifestyle.
"I took a contract on the Bowie house Sept. 15, began house hunting in Baltimore on Sept. 18, bought this house the next day and settled on Oct. 1," said Caldwell, 56, a warehouse supervisor for Giant Food in Jessup.
That two-week whirlwind brought Caldwell a two-story, brick rowhouse on Fort Avenue in South Baltimore's Locust Point, landing him back in the city where he grew up and visited regularly to see friends and attend Ravens games.

Nelson Trial Blog: Shawna Takes Stand With Explosive Testimony
She said in spring of 2004, they started flirting. He was in his car, she was in dispatch. "He gave me more attention. I gave it to him back," she said. Their relationship became intimate in July of 2004. She also developed a friendship with Michelle Moore in August 2004. Michelle was a Weld County deputy. It became more than friendship. "Did it become intimate?" Defense asked. "Yes," Shawna said. Why did she keep the relationship secret, she was asked. "None of this is stuff I'm very proud of. It's kind embarassing. Both of us decided we weren't going to tell anybody," Shawna said. "Did you keep this relationship from your husband?" defense asked. "Yes," she said. "Did you keep it from Ignacio Garraus?" "Yes," she said.
Malware writers exploring Software as a Service model
The business of writing, buying, and selling malware has become increasingly commercial over the past few years, but a new report from online security firm Finjan sheds light on just how mainstream the crimeware business has gone. Earlier this month, the company discovered a small, standalone application gathering data on over 8,700 servers, including web sites from 2,500 North American companies and a handful of sites in Alexa's top 100 ranking. Potential buyers were able to log into the malicious server hosting the data-gathering service and evaluate any given web site's size and Google Page Rank to decide whether or not the site's FTP information was worth purchasing or not. The concept of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is nothing new, but this is the first time anyone has organized the purchase of FTP login credentials, with additional tools available to help a buyer confirm he's making a smart purchase.

Soak up Super Bowl fun in Arizona on a shoestring
If you're an everyman headed to Arizona's "Valley of the Sun" this weekend to participate in the Super Bowl XLII festivities, you'll have to get creative, as high-profile parties will be accessible only to high-rollers and corporate insiders. "It's gonna be nuts," Scottsdale resident Matt Holmes said of the city, which is already crawling with the rich and famous. "Unless you've got a ton of money to blow, there won't be much for you to do." Maybe not much compared to the scope of the event, but there will certainly be plenty -- whether you're someone who likes to be pampered, an outdoors type, a shopper, a barfly or a spiritual seeker, you can find ways to keep yourself entertained before and after the game. .
Man Held Responsible For Returned U-Haul Truck
The next morning at about 10 a.m. I get a phone call that I had never locked the truck, Long said. Long says the general manager of the U-Haul facility text-messaged his wife that the truck was overdue and told Long on the phone that the truck had been stolen and that is was Longs responsibility to file a police report, which he did, even though Bellingham police told KIRO 7 that it wasnt Longs job to report the theft because hes not the owner of the truck. I called the general manager of U-Haul and I said, Boy, Im glad I was able to help you out. Can you close my contract? And he said, No way. I asked why, and he said as far as he was concerned, the truck had never been checked in, said Long. I was flabbergasted and I said, Well, I have done everything you have asked me to do.

Holes in the net make 'cloud computing' pie in the sky
Here's a phrase you will be hearing a lot in the next few years: 'cloud computing'. Its etymology is vague, but it probably dates from the moment when someone casually illustrated the global network beyond the individual PC by drawing a cloud and writing 'internet' on it. No matter. What cloud computing means is a scenario in which users obtain computing services not from the PCs on their desks, but from servers located elsewhere on the internet. Another way of expressing this is the mantra, first enunciated many years ago by Scott McNealy of Sun Microsystems, that 'the network is the computer'. This seemed a bit far-fetched at the time, because connections to the internet then were slow and often erratic. But with gigabit ethernet connections in local area networks, and increasingly fast broadband, network performance has improved to the point where cloud computing looks like a feasible proposition.
Laws of Life Essays Part 2
To me, that's a hero. You're my hero. Grandpa, you were a fighter. I want to thank you for fighting for our country, in the Korean War. You were injured, and received a “Purple Heart". You battled from war to cancer. I don't know how you fought for so long. Everyone hated to see you suffer the way you did. But you held on. You were suffering and we were all suffering with you. I only had one Grandpa my whole life, I never got to meet my other one. I heard he fought with the same exact thing as you did. I bet you're talking to him right now. I never did want to lose you, but I'm so happy you are in such a better place then all of us. You were one man who was truly happy to be alive, and to live life. You lived life to the fullest. And you taught each one of us exactly how to do that. You were a believer, Grandpa.
