Happy New Year and welcome back! The start of a new calendar year brings new beginnings, resolutions and the hope for new traditions.

To get us off on the right foot, I'm excited to unveil a brand new “G” logo for our website! It's bold, smooth, refreshing and represents the Governor Ohana in a modern style that extends a warm Aloha for our youthful generations as well as distinguished alumni. It's sprinkled around the site for now, with full integration to be completed as time permits.

Yesterday, October 1, 2009, we experienced an outage at one of our datacenters. Customers that were housed in that datacenter experienced total connectivity loss for a significant portion of the day.

The outage was caused by a failure of one of our core routers, which caused an overload in our network connections. Due to this overload, we experienced a series of secondary issues that caused connections to our servers to drop.

At this time, we have brought the network traffic back to a nominal state and expect to have 99 percent of our customers up and running with all services running normally. However, we do expect to have a small degradation of services while we continue to make adjustments to our Network. These services may include, CGI, FTP, Mail, or MySQL.

In addition, we are in the process of making improvements to our Network Topology to ensure that we don't experience this type of failure in the future. This will require us to schedule a Maintenance window of down time, so that we can implement the changes. We will schedule this downtime at some point next week, and we will schedule it at a point in time with the least amount of network traffic, to minimize the effects to you.

We thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

Somewhere on the laundry list of funding needs for Hawai'i's public school athletic departments is… laundry.

Any parent with kids involved in sports knows how this household duty pops up more often in-season, and a school with hundreds of athletes on up to 25 or more teams over a nine-month calendar needs high-volume, efficient washing and drying machines and crates of detergent to keep uniforms and practice jerseys clean.

Farrington received a $17,000 donation from its alumni association earlier this year to rebuild its washroom, including a brand new commercial washing machine.

In the past, Farrington athletic director Harold Tanaka said department staff would sometimes spend entire nights just doing load after load of laundry.

"At our school, we don't let anything (uniforms) go home," Tanaka said. "We wash everything here."
