GBL or gamma-Butyrolactone (γ-butyrolactone) is one of the safest substances known to man, when handled correctly and for healthful purposes. Many people all over the world have used GBL in one form or another to lose weight, build muscle, treat depression, eliminate anxiety, and a wealth of other conditions many of which are not clearly understood.
GBL and its relative chemicals GHB and 1,4 BDO can be safely used to totally eliminate insomnia. Thousands of people all over the world suffer from a condition that prevents them from getting normal restful sleep. Sleep disorders can cause other problems such as weight gain, depression, anxiety, and lack of quality sleep can have negative effects on interpersonal relationships, poor job performance and an overall felling of malaise. GBL, use responsibly, can proved dramatic improvements for these conditions.
gamma-Butyrolactone (γ-butyrolactone) has a colorful past, mainly because it was used and abused as a club drug. It is really a shame that a few misguided people have made it difficult for those of us who were using GBL in very positive ways to obtain this wonderful, natural, healthful substance. Laws have been passed to restrict, monitor and regulate GBL which has given rise to an underground GBL market. Anytime something is taken off store shelves and sold on the black market there is the potential for negative repercussions. gamma-Butyrolactone is not immune from the designs of unscrupulous vendors that will sell inferior product or who will simply take your money and never deliver any GBL. To combat the rising tide of GBL scam sites, I have published this blog. On it you will find information about where to safely purchase GBL. The site(s) that I recommend are rock solid reliable GBL suppliers.

To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled.

Marco Antonio Barrera and Robbie Peden meet to unify junior lightweight titles at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday night (HBO PPV, 9 ET).
There will be few secrets between them.
When Peden was a rising contender, he served as one of Barrera's chief sparring partners through several of Barrera's training camps from 2000-02.
Peden (25-2, 14 KOs) estimates they sparred upwards of 200 rounds with each other.
"I know what to expect from him, and if the fight is as intense as our sparring was, then the fans are in for a great fight. I've improved a lot since then. I learned a lot from him," said Peden, who will be making the first defense of the vacant title he won in February with an eighth-round TKO of Nate Campbell in their rematch.
Peden only had about 15 or so pro fights when he began working with Barrera (60-4, 42 KOs). He quickly became one of his chief sparring partners because of the excellent work he gave Barrera.
"We had very, very intense sparring, although sparring is way different than an actual fight," said Barrera, who added that Peden earned his respect for the way he handled himself in their sparring sessions.
Maybe it's because Peden left a lasting memory with him. It was Peden who cracked one of Barrera's ribs during a February 2002 sparring session. The injury forced the postponement of Barrera's rematch with rival Erik Morales for three months.
It was the last time Barrera and Peden sparred.
"Yes, it is true that he hurt me to the ribs, and I had to postpone the second fight with Morales because of the injury," Barrera said. "But I will be 100 percent different with Peden than I was in sparring."
Among the other fights Peden helped Barrera prepare for were bouts with Naseem Hamed and Jesus Salud.
"It was very intense," Peden said of the sessions. "We went at it hard and we did four-minute rounds. I'm sure that we can break down each other's styles. But we'll both fight to win. He's been on top of his game and I want my turn. I want to be recognized as the top 130-pounder. But I don't think the sparring will have much of an impact.
"He might not have shown me his whole hand, and I know I've been working on a few things and have improved since we sparred."
Around the ring
Farewell tour: Julio Cesar Chavez, the Mexican icon who won titles in three divisions, continues his farewell tour Saturday night at the America West Arena in Phoenix (Azteca America, 10 ET), four months after winning a decision against Ivan Robinson in Los Angeles on a card titled "Adios."
"These farewell cards are all about the fans," Chavez said. "They want to see me fight one more time, and it's a small way to repay them for the great support they gave me throughout my career."
Once again, junior welterweight prospect Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will share the bill with his father.
"These nights are special," Chavez Jr. said. "I love the way people respond to him and the way that they are now supporting me. These will be the nights that I will always remember."
Chavez Sr. (107-5-2, 88 KOs) will face Grover Wiley (29-6-1, 13 KOs), an Omaha, Neb., club fighter, in a 10-round welterweight fight. Original opponent Craig Weber arrived in Phoenix this week, but he was paid his purse and sent home for undisclosed reasons.
Chavez Jr. (21-0, 16 KOs) will face Corey Alarcon (12-10, 4 KOs) in a six-round junior welterweight fight. Also on the card: Phoenix middleweight prospect Jesus Gonzales (17-0, 10 KOs) against former Mexican Olympian Jose Luis Zertuche (15-2-2, 12 KOs).
Sensational 'ShoBox': Showtime's "ShoBox: The New Generation" is all about matching prospects in tough fights, but Gordon Hall, the executive responsible for the fights on the series, has taken it to another level with the Nov. 4 card in Tulsa, Okla.
There are two toss-up fights featuring four top-flight prospects from three different promoters:
• In the 10-round main event, junior middleweight Sechew Powell (17-0, 11 KOs), from Lou DiBella's stable, faces Armenian import Archak TerMeliksetian (15-1, 12 KOs), who fights for Main Events.
• In the eight-round co-feature, DiBella's highly touted 21-year-old prospect Jaidon Codrington (9-0, 9 KOs) of Queens makes his national TV debut against Allan Green (17-0, 11 KOs), a 25-year-old who fights for Tony Holden.
"This card is what 'ShoBox' is all about," Hall said. "Most of all, credit goes to the promoters, managers and fighters, who take the fights. It's easy to request good matchups, but it is hard to get them, and Lou has definitely come up big on this one."
Against the grain: While many fighters spar countless rounds to prepare for an important fight, Zahir Raheem did just the opposite during the training camp leading to his upset decision against Morales on Saturday night in Los Angeles.
Don House, who trains Raheem and lightweight contender "Kid Diamond" Almazbek Raiymkulov, doesn't believe in burning his fighters out in the gym.
"I don't believe in a lot of sparring for a fighter who has 20 or more professional fights," House said. "For this fight Zahir sparred maybe 25 to 30 rounds, and I'm not sure if it was that many."
Raheem's next fight could be on the Jan. 21 undercard of Morales' rematch with Manny Pacquiao, which will still go on despite Morales' loss.
No Ann vs. Man: Female super middleweight star Ann Wolfe (22-1, 15 KOs) has had so much trouble finding a worthy female opponent -- Laila Ali refuses to fight her -- that she agreed to face male fighter Bo Skipper (11-3-2, 7 KOs) in Biloxi, Miss., on Oct. 15 in an eight-round bout dubbed "Ann vs. Man."
However, with the massive damage inflicted by Hurricane Katrina to the Gulf Coast, including hard-hit Biloxi and the Mississippi Coast Coliseum, where the controversial bout was to have been held, Brian Young of Prize Fight Promotions told ESPN.com that he is canceling the pay-per-view card and not considering moving it to another location.
"There is so much damage there and so many things going on, I'm just going to cancel it," he said. "I'm just not going to do it. They're using the arena as a shelter. It's really bad. There are more important things than a fight."
Kessler challenges Lacy: Super middleweight titlist Mikkel Kessler of Denmark issued an open letter challenging fellow champion Jeff Lacy on Nov. 5.
Kessler said he would be happy to give Lacy the unification fight he openly desires. Lacy was supposed to face Joe Calzaghe in a unification bout on Showtime, but Calzaghe broke his left hand last week in an ill-advised tune-up win against Evans Ashira.
"Hello, Mr. Lacy," Kessler wrote. "Although we have never met, we have much in common. For starters, you are an undefeated world super middleweight boxing champion and so am I. Like me, you are not afraid to take your gloves on the road if it means facing the toughest competition you can find. For example, I recently went Down Under to defend my world title against Anthony Mundine and you are willing to go to the United Kingdom to fight Joe Calzaghe."
Kessler went on to write, "Another thing we have in common right now is that we both need an attractive opponent for our next fight. My dance card looks limited and so does yours. So I think you know where I am going with this. Lacy vs. Kessler. Kessler vs. Lacy. Tampa-St. Petersburg [Lacy's home area] or Copenhagen. The location does not matter much. But you must admit, our two names linked together do have a sweet ring to [them]. You bring your world-title belt and I will bring mine."
Kessler said his handlers have told Lacy promoter Gary Shaw and Showtime that he is available for the November fight "assuming that proper conditions and terms can be agreed to by the parties."
That, of course, could be the sticking point. Word is Kessler's team is asking for a financial package worth more than Showtime is willing to pay for the entire fight.
Mundine-Green: The showdown Australian fans have been looking forward to for several years is finally set. Super middleweights Anthony Mundine (24-3, 19 KOs), a former champion, and longtime contender Danny Green (20-2, 19 KOs), who have bashed each other in the press for years, are slated to meet in early 2006.
However, before the showdown, they will appear on the same card in tune-up fights in Perth on Dec. 11. They will square off only if they both win. Their meeting would be one of the biggest fights in Australian history, joining such bouts as the 1992 junior lightweight title fight between Australian Jeff Fenech and champion Azumah Nelson and the junior welterweight title fight between Kostya Tszyu and James Leija in 2003.
Holt auditions: Kendall Holt (19-1, 12 KOs) of Patterson, N.J. -- who was considered as an opponent to challenge junior welterweight titlist Miguel Cotto on Sept. 24 after original opponent Gianluca Branco suffered an injury -- will headline the untelevised portion of the undercard at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.
Heavyweight Wladimir Klitschko meets Samuel Peter in a title eliminator in the main event, and Cotto faces Ricardo Torres in the co-feature.
Holt, 24, will face Vladimir Khodokovski (12-7-2, 4 KOs) of Ukraine in a 10-rounder. Holt knows the fight is more or less an audition for an eventual shot at Cotto.
"[Promoter] Dino [Duva] told me that Top Rank gave him an assurance that if Cotto defeats Torres and I keep winning, I will get my shot at him," Holt said.
"I'll be focusing on two things on Sept. 24: One, looking my best in front of all my hometown fans in attendance and the TV executives. And two, hoping Cotto defeats Torres. The first one will be easy, but the second one will not -- I know Cotto is in for a tough fight."
Punching for charity: Boxing folks are lining up to help victims of Hurricane Katrina. CompuBox president Bob Canobbio started the ball rolling when he announced he would put his punch-counting system to use to help. For every punch landed during the five fights CompuBox will track on Saturday and on Sept. 24, the company will donate $1 to the American Red Cross to aid in hurricane relief.
The fights that will encompass the tally are from the Saturday's HBO PPV card featuring Barrera vs. Peden, Shane Mosley vs. Jose Luis Cruz and Leavander Johnson vs. Jesus Chavez; and the Sept. 24 HBO card featuring Klitschko vs. Peter and Cotto vs. Torres.
After Canobbio's announcement, promoters Bob Arum, Oscar De La Hoya, DiBella and Dino Diva also announced contributions.
Arum said that Top Rank will donate $10,000 to the Hurricane Katrina relief fund being administered by former Presidents Bush and Clinton.
"We must help those in need. This is a terrible tragedy," Arum said.
De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, which is promoting Saturday night's show, will donate $10 to the American Red Cross for every punch landed during the three TV fights.
DiBella will donate $1 per punch thrown when his fighter, Johnson, faces Chavez. Duva, promoting the Sept. 24 card, will contribute $1 per punch landed in those two TV fights.
Classic replays: In an effort to promote the "Parade of Champions" pay-per-view card Saturday featuring Barrera and Mosley, HBO is again putting its HBO2 channel to work. HBO2 will replay two significant bouts featuring Barrera and Mosley on Friday night (11 ET/PT).
The special, which also will air Saturday (HBO2, 9 a.m. ET/PT), includes Barrera's third battle with Morales and Mosley's first fight with De La Hoya. Barrera outpointed Morales to win the junior lightweight title in the November 2004 bout that was later voted fight of the year by the Boxing Writers Association of America. Mosley defeated De La Hoya on a split decision to win the welterweight title in June 2000 in an all-action fight.
Spinks stabbed: The wife of former undisputed welterweight champ Cory Spinks has been charged with stabbing her husband two weeks ago during a domestic dispute, according to St. Louis TV station KSDK. The station reported that Spinks, who is already back training, was stabbed in the shoulder and abdomen, and was taken to the hospital to treat minor wounds. Kimberly Calvin, 25, was charged with first-degree domestic assault and armed criminal action. She faces an Oct. 13 court date.
Spinks, the son of former heavyweight champ Leon Spinks and nephew of Hall of Famer Michael Spinks, lost the title in St. Louis when Zab Judah knocked him out in February.
Quick hits: Former three-division champ Johnny Tapia (55-4-2, 28 KOs), who saw a summer shot at junior featherweight titlist Israel Vazquez fall apart a couple of months ago, returns to action Friday night in Chicago. He headlines on Telefutura (9 ET) against Sandro Marcos (26-13-2, 21 KOs) in a 12-round junior featherweight fight.
The Vitali Klitschko-Hasim Rahman heavyweight championship fight dubbed "Seek and Destroy" and set for Nov. 12 in Las Vegas officially will be announced Monday morning in Los Angeles. The co-feature on the HBO PPV card -- welterweight titlist Antonio Margarito vs. Manny Gomez -- also will be made official.
According to veteran trainer/manager Willie Savannah, former four-time heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield has been training in Savannah's Houston gym. There has been talk of Holyfield going to Dubai for a fight in March. Also training in Savannah's gym: former junior middleweight titlist Kassim Ouma, who is preparing for his comeback fight on Oct. 13 (HBO Latino) against Freddie Cuevas.
Riddick Bowe, who has fought twice during his controversial comeback, has parted ways with manager Jimmy Adams, who helped engineer Bowe's ring return.
HBO will air "Countdown to Tarver-Jones III" immediately following the Sept. 24 Klitschko-Peter card. The half-hour special previews the Oct. 1 rubber match between light heavyweight king Antonio Tarver and former champ Roy Jones. HBO2 will air replays of the special all week leading to the fight.
Former two-time heavyweight champ George Foreman, who left HBO as expert commentator in 2004, returns to the network for a one-night stand to work the Klitschko-Peter telecast. Emanuel Steward, the regular expert analyst on "Boxing After Dark," will be otherwise occupied that night. He's Klitschko's trainer. Jones, who replaced Foreman on "World Championship Boxing," also was unavailable because he is training for the Tarver fight.
Heavyweight contender Calvin Brock (26-0, 21 KOs), ready to fight again after his summer wedding, will fight in his hometown of Charlotte on Nov. 19 when he faces David Bostice (34-9-1, 15 KOs). Brock emerged as a contender this year with an impressive victory against Jameel McCline in April. Promoter Main Events hopes that early next year it can line up another significant bout for Brock, the 2000 U.S. Olympic super heavyweight. Main Events is also hoping to add cruiserweight Kendall Gill to the card. Gill spent four seasons playing for the NBA's Charlotte Hornets in the early 1990s.
Former middleweight titlist William Joppy, who was wanted on a first-degree assault charge stemming from a Sept. 8 incident, turned himself in to police on Wednesday, according to the Maryland Gazette. According to the newspaper, Joppy was charged with first-degree assault and is being held at the Prince George's County jail without bond. Joppy allegedly argued with an unidentified acquaintance and then reached into the person's car and began choking the person. When the person drove away, Joppy allegedly followed in his car and struck the person's car several times before leaving the scene.
Quotable: "I believe you'll see a replay of Castillo and Corrales a few weeks earlier than their own rematch." — Peden, comparing his expectation for action in Saturday night's unification fight with Barrera to the highly anticipated Oct. 1 Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo lightweight title rematch.
Dan Rafael is the boxing writer for ESPN.com.

Saint George, city, seat (1863) of Washington county, southwestern Utah, U.S., on the Virgin River, near the Arizona border. Settled in 1861 as a cotton-growing centre by a Mormon group, it was named for George A. Smith, a counselor to Brigham Young. The first Mormon temple to be erected in the state (completed 1877) is in St. George. It is the centre of Utah's "Dixie," a region settled largely by Southerners and noted for poultry raising and fruit and vegetable growing. Its proximity to Dixie National Forest and Zion National Park makes tourism an important economic factor, and the city has become a centre for retirees and winter visitors. The Brigham Young Winter Home (1873, part of Dixie State Park) is in the city. Dixie College was founded there in 1911. Inc. 1863. Pop.

Thiruvananthapuram, Mar 1 (UNI) Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Issac today urged the Centre to earmark funds for giving compensation to banks that were asked to write off farm loans worth Rs 60,000 crore.
In a statement here, he pointed out that there was no allocation for providing compensation to banks and cooperative bodies. The crash in the value of banks' shares indicated that the financial institutions should have to bear the burden.
Commercial banks might be in a position to take the impact, but the cooperative bodies would find it difficult to survive, he added.

Back to school skirt
Ja, ja, I know - school isn't back for a few more weeks yet but it appears that Santa DID leave some sewing mojo in my stocking, so a quick skirt for Tyger was in order!
You seriously cannot get more basic than this - I took an 80cm by 115cm length of fabric, sewed the short sides together, hemmed the bottom, did a 3cm hem on the top and inserted some 2.5cm elastic and hey presto - a skirt was made!
The verdict? She's chuffed because she picked the fabric and that it goes so well with her favourite t-shirt, and I'm chuffed because it took all of 20 minutes to make! Happy new year!

Right now, it is of no use. But, for those who do have streets which go by multiple names, it is nice to have the data be totally correct.
I use it because often, highways or routes overlap. The primary name is used for the name most used, and alt name is where other names or routes are input. In my state of the US, all highways are named, and those usually have a route #, but not always.
Also, the primary name is used for shield creation, but alternate names can hold a local name if the route name is the most popular local name.

I'll have to go to a memory of it!! These are the first two pages for the 3rd and final leg of our Gran Canaria holiday in 2005. This time it was Maspalomas - again a bit more geared towards tourists, but the apartments here were more like ones you'd live in. More photos of the apartment and it's setting will come as part of other pages. I've used several kits and various shapes and effects and colour changes in CAP 2 The photo strip is one I created myself. As you can see, this is another two page spread, I loved this sketch and just mirror imaged it for the second page. If you want more detail, I've added the pages individually below.

Okay, so here is the deal. My father was diagnosed with cancer in September of this year. He decided to defy the odds and fight it. A man that hasn't missed a season in 40 years has not been in the woods once this year. The chemo has him so beat up he barely gets out of bed. He has wanted to take an elk with his bow for a LONG time. But he would rather take care of his family first, so has not been able to make this happen. I want to make this happen for him! Honestly, I am newly married, with an 8 month old little girl. I can't afford to pay 3,4,5 thousand to send him to the mountains. Is there anyone out there that can help me give my father what he has wanted so bad for so long? I can pay some, or I can trade out. We own land in Kentucky. Great bow hunting, even better turkey hunting. Anyone that could help me in any way, I would be forever in your debt. PLEASE, let me know. Thanks a bunch!

What is Gulf War Illness?
Gulf War Illness, also known as Gulf War Syndrome, is a collection of symptoms that affect veterans of the 1990-1991 Gulf War.
The symptoms of Gulf War Illness are not standard and vary widely between individuals, but many diagnosed with the illness experience cognitive dysfunctions, fatigue, mood disturbances, disturbed sleep patterns, IBS, and musculoskeletal pain. The exact cause of the symptoms is unknown but some attribute it to chemical exposure, such as nerve gas, bacterial infections, and the psychological effects of combat.
Despite the war taking place over twenty years ago, some veterans are still struggling with the illness.
Why is the treatment individualised and not standard?
Because the symptoms vary so widely between sufferers treatment programs must be individualised rather than standard.
Treatments tackle patient's presented symptoms to provide relief and a better quality of life because the underlying cause is not understood.
Current treatments include:
♦ Talking therapy/counselling
♦ Physiotherapy
♦ Pain medications
♦ Anti-depressants
♦ Anti-spasmodic/constipation medications for gastrointestinal issues
What was the acupuncture study?
A study has shown that acupuncture can help the pain and disability experienced by veterans with gulf war illness.
The study was randomised and undertaken by acupuncture practitioners with at least five years of experience. Extra training was also provided by the clinical team.
104 veterans were split into two groups. The first received bi-weekly treatments over six months and the second group received weekly treatments after a two month waiting period.
Outcomes were measured on the SF-36 scale, which is a well-respected general measure of health questionnaire, with researchers focused particularly on the physical aspects of health. Levels of pain were measured on the McGill pain scale.
All measurements were taken at baseline (the start of the trial before acupuncture treatments) and at the two, four, and six month points.
What are the results?
Results indicated that the 85 veterans who completed the course had a statistically significant reduction in pain and an improvement on the SF-36 scale at the six month point.
The first group, who began acupuncture immediately and received bi-weekly treatments, saw the most improvements.
Researchers suggest that acupuncture offers physical disability and pain relief to veterans and aim to continue trials into what the optimum dosage should be. They also recommend larger study groups in future trials.
Could the treatment work for other complex illnesses?
Yes, because acupuncture treats a collection of symptoms it's a useful tool for multi-symptom illness such as IBS, fibromyalgia or any condition producing fatigue, irritability, anxiety, insomnia, and pain.
One of the benefits of acupuncture is that it can be tailored to fit an individual patient's symptoms. The study mentioned above needed to standardise treatment in order to provide a measurable outcome, but there's no standard acupuncture practice meaning patients get a individual treatment that suits them.
Studies have shown acupuncture is well-tolerated by most patients. It's safe when carried out by a professional, cost effective, widely available, and suits those unable to take medications or who are struggling with an incurable illness.

♦ Studies show Mindfulness reduces stress for Gulf War veterans
More on Acupuncture:
♦ Miniscalpel acupuncture good for reducing pain
♦ Alcohol Acupuncture and Memory
♦ New studies show acupuncture improves chronic fatigue symptoms
♦ New Evidence Acupuncture relieves depression in stroke patients
♦ Treating migraines with acupuncture

With a focus on the industry's hot topics, the sessions will provide relevant information on emerging industry trends and on ways that internal audit can lead the organization's senior management team towards effective risk management and control. Learning Objectives: To provide leadership and representation in the internal audit community on emerging issues within the federal government's risk universe. To share new tools and ideas to assess the effectiveness and adequacy of risk management, controls, and governance processes within their organization. To offer the means to build internal audit competencies and keep up with the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) education requirements through continuing professional development. competencies legend 10:30 - 12:00 ANALYTICS AND INTERNAL AUDIT Rooms 205 & 207 Speaker: Bill Kessels, Partner, Advisory Services, EY Canada Companies everywhere are developing the technical capacity to analyze the vast amounts of information they have captured, and they're using the insights generated from that data to build stronger relationships and improve the bottom line. In the context of Internal Audit (IA), analytics is the analysis of a large population of data to obtain insights and improve business performance, reduce risk and maximize business value. The IA function must embrace analytics to keep pace with or outpace the business; it must become a natural part of the thought process. This will involve not only the adoption of new tools and techniques but also a change in mindset. However, the results will be worth the effort. IA's use of data analytics can help the business improve its processes and deliver even better products and services. Using analytics, IA can examine an entire population of data and focus on potential issues. During this session, Bill Kessels will share insights into leveraging analytics in the IA landscape. Competencies Language of presentation: English Simultaneous interpretation available. 13:15 - 14:30 SECOND LINE OF DEFENCE INTERNAL AUDIT REVIEW Rooms 205 & 207 Speaker: Kaval Pannu, Corporate Auditor, Canada Post This presentation will provide a high-level overview of work conducted at Canada Post to introduce the Three Lines of Defence model for effective risk management. The approach is tailored to fit a large public institution, such as Canada Post, to ensure its relevance and value. The presentation will provide insights into how internal audit: developed an assurance grid covering the three lines of defence functions within Canada Post including risks being mitigated, scope and type of assurance/"assurance-like" activities, and resources allocated; debriefed the Audit Committee and Executive Management on the model and assurance grid, and their response; and, developed an audit review program for the second line functions focused on responsibility, authority, and accountability. Competencies Language of presentation: English Simultaneous interpretation available. 14:50 - 16:00 MANAGING CYBER SECURITY ON A TIGHT BUDGET Rooms 205 & 207 Speaker: Charan Kumar Bommireddipalli, CIA, CISA, CGEIT, CFE, Partner, Enterprise Governance, Fernhill Associates Inc. On one hand technology has enhanced quality of life and on the other increased exposure to its perils. If understood by an average individual it can be managed effectively. Complexity of technology does not facilitate this understanding by an average individual. Organizations do not have an option to have ineffective and inefficient cyber security in place, but at the same time do not have the resources to ensure an effective solution is in place. The session will provide insights on managing cyber security on a tight budget by: understanding the cyber threat landscape; following a structured approach to identifying what needs to be protected; discerning how to develop a threat matrix; mapping treats to potential solutions; and prioritizing solution implementation.

text: It's the day before the opening of pheasant season on the east side. For me, this is the best day of the year. I love the anticipation and preparation that goes along with it. This morning I got out my orange hunting vest. My lab Cooper immediately stuck his head in the game bag, stirring up all the old smells. He won't leave my side now, convinced I might somehow leave him behind. I've hunted this year already, but for me it's not hunting season until pheasant season opens. I can't wait until that first rooster flushes in the morning!! Good luck all

Anglo may need further €8bn
Taoiseach Brian Cowen has said that Anglo Irish Bank may need a further €8bn capital injection to stay afloat.
About €14.3bn has already been pledged to the bank, Cowen told the Dail. Further capital may be needed this year, he said, in a plan laid out by Finance Minister Brian Lenihan in March.
The final costs of the Anglo Irish bailout can't be quantified until the scale of the bank's losses and its future plans are determined, Cowen said. The government seized control of the lender in January 2009 after bad debts surged in the wake of the collapse of the property market. Real-estate prices have fallen by about half since 2007.
"Let's recall Lehman Brothers was a much smaller bank in the U.S. system than this bank was in the Irish system," Cowen said. "We know the consequences when that bank was let go to the wall."
Anglo Irish executives are proposing splitting the bank into two, Cowen said. An asset management unit would run down some of the bank's loans, while a remaining "viable" section may "eventually" may be sold to recoup some of the taxpayers' money, he said.

During the first part of this term at Umeå University I was contacted by Screen Interaction for an awesome work opportunity. Since I still have two whole years left in Umeå I had to turn down the offer. But it turned out that Screen also needed a UI/UX designer for the summer which fit me perfectly!
So who are Screen Interaction?
Screen Interaction är en design- och innovationsbyrå som utvecklar morgondagens digitala tjänster och produkter med fokus på användbarhet och affärsnytta.
That basically translates (sorry for the Swedish) into something like "a creative agency creating tomorrows digital solutions". The company was founded back in 2008 by a couple of Interaction & Design students from Umeå University, since then they have had clients like Microsoft, Ericsson, IKEA, Nokia, Assa Abloy, the list goes on. Their, and also my, office is located in Kista, just north of Stockholm!
So here I'm, in Kista, just finishing my first week at Screen Interaction. Really looking forward to what this summer will bring!

Preserve Me, Oh God
Today's Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 16:1-11. Psalm 16 is a Psalm of David. This is considered to be a Messianic Psalm. It is believed that David is referring to Jesus in this Psalm as well as himself. David cries out to God to preserve him. He declares that he puts his trust in God.
Have you told the LORD lately that He is your LORD, as David did? How do you think it makes God feel when we tell Him how much we love Him? If you are a parent or grandparent, you can compare this to how you feel when your children or grandchildren crawl up in your lap and tell you how much they love you.
The Psalmist says he won't even say the names of the false gods. David's treasure was the LORD. The LORD satisfied David's soul. God's blessings were David's heritage.
Have you ever woken up at night with a song on your heart or a Scripture running through your mind and Spirit? David says the LORD gives him counsel day and night.
David continuously set the LORD before himself and his needs. David had faith that the LORD was at his right hand to comfort and protect him. He knew that God would direct him on the path of life.
David says there is fullness of joy, even in the midst of our suffering and pain. When we put our faith and trust in God we can have joy in our hearts, despite the troubles in our lives.
Daily Bible Reading:
Psalm 16:1-11
1 [[Michtam of David.]] Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips.
5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Things to think about:
- What was David's cry to the LORD?
- What kind of heritage did David say he had?
- How can we have that same inheritance?
Prayer of the Day:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this Scripture in the book of Psalms. Thank You for the rich inheritance we have in You. Help us to show our love for You and do Your will. Help us to find joy, peace, and comfort in having You by our side, as David did. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

The Book of Psalms: Part 1 Chapters 1-30
by Deborah H. Bateman
About the book:
The Book of Psalms: Part 1 Chapters 1-30 by Deborah H. Bateman is part of the Daily Bible Reading Series. The book of Psalms contains 150 chapters. Deborah divided The Book of Psalms into five books to make it easier to read and study. Each book will contain approximately thirty chapters from the book of Psalms.
Psalm 119 will not be included in The Book of Psalms since Deborah has already published a book about it called: Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet. The book of Psalms is one of Deborah's favorite books of the Bible. It is a great book to read if you're ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from the enemies.
The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.
The Book of Psalms Part 1 Chapters 1-30 contains thirty-one Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. It is a great Bible study for individuals or groups.

Mauril Bélanger wanted badly to be Speaker of the House of Commons. He spent years collecting the experience and cultivating the skills that made him the prohibitive front-runner to fill the big chair when it became vacant after the fall federal election.
But as MPs were deciding which of their number would wear the Speaker's robes for the current session of Parliament, Mr. Bélanger, 60, was being robbed of his voice by an incurable disease that was also stripping away his ability to move the rest of his body.
He was diagnosed in November with ALS – amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease – a rare neurological condition that is generally fatal within three to five years.
Mr. Bélanger could not be a Speaker if he could not speak.
On Nov. 30, 2015, the man who has represented Ottawa-Vanier for two decades in the House of Commons said he was withdrawing his name from contention – an announcement that shocked MPs of all stripes. By a unanimous vote, they agreed the next month to let him sit as Speaker for a day, a role he will play on Wednesday when he presides as "honorary Chair occupant" during members' statements and into the start of Question Period.
Mr. Bélanger "would have been a superb Speaker had he not been hit with ALS," said Geoff Regan, the Liberal MP who was elected to the job after his friend stepped aside. "But what I think is wonderful is that so many members were keen to see this happen, to see him recognized in this way."
A few minutes in the Speaker's chair is, no doubt, small consolation for the tragic turn his life has taken. But Mr. Bélanger says he is grateful.
On Tuesday, a small group of reporters was invited into his office on the fifth floor of Parliament's Centre Block to ask a set of prepared questions and listen to the emotional MP, who has not actually spoken since January, respond using a text-to-speech software on his tablet.
"Receiving such an honour is highly appreciated, since this is a dream coming true amidst the health challenges which I am facing. I look forward to serving my day, this March 9, in the Speaker's chair," he said via a computerized male voice.
As for being an MP, Mr. Bélanger said his priorities have not changed since his diagnosis.
"I remain committed to serving the constituents of Ottawa-Vanier and representing them in the House of Commons to the best of my abilities as long as possible," he said, reaching for a handkerchief to dab tears from his eyes. "That being said, I go to work every day and endeavour to advance important files for the riding and also files that are important for our country."
One objective is to obtain Parliamentary approval for his private member's bill that would make the lyrics of the English version of the national anthem, O Canada, gender neutral. The words "In all thy sons command" would become "In all of us command."
An identical one he introduced in 2014 was defeated when almost all of the Conservatives, who then held a majority, voted against it. But the numbers are different now and Mr. Bélanger is hoping for a different outcome.
He is also hoping for a halt to the progress of the disease which, to this point, has been swift.
It started during the election campaign when his voice began to give way. By the time Parliament resumed in late January, he was communicating with his staff in writing only.
A few months ago, he was striding the corridors of the Centre Block. Today, he shuffles with a walker.
ALS "attacks the muscles, so it started with the throat and it's going down through the rest of the body, the limbs. Slowly but surely, he is losing control," said Alexandre Mattard-Michaud, Mr. Bélanger's chief of staff. At the same time, "the brain is there 100 per cent. He's in there."
In fact, Mr. Bélanger went to Africa last week to fulfill his duties as co-president of the Canada-Africa Parliamentary Association. "It was a challenge," Mr. Mattard-Michaud said. But "as long as he is able to perform his duties, he will stay and function, he will remain an MP."

The Maharashtra government on Thursday transferred the forest department official probing the destruction of mangroves outside TV actor Kapil Sharma's bungalow in Mumbai's Andheri West area.
Makarand Ghodke, who was previously the assistant conservator of forest in the state's mangrove cell, is now deputed to the Chief Conservator of Forest in Thane.
On September 20, Sharma was booked by the Mumbai Police for destroying mangroves behind his bungalow in Versova. According to the police, the comedian-actor had bought bungalow number 71 in MHADA colony in Andheri West last year. the mangrove cell inspected around 400 bungalows in the area and it was found that the residents of 50 bungalows had destroyed them.
Sharma had stoked controversy after he tweeted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, questioning where are 'achche din', and alleged that he was asked for a Rs5 lakh bribe by a BMC official to get permit for building his office. the civic body retorted to his allegations stating that the actor had constructed a second floor without getting necessary clearances and hence it was demolished after he failed to produce the permit.
Later he clarified by saying that his grudge was against corruption and he did not intend to target any political party.
In another case, Sharma on October 17 moved the Bombay High Court granted him an interim relief as it stayed the BMC order of demolishing illegal structures in his Goregaon flat till November 23. Sharma had booked the flat in 2010.

Bear Stearns Tidbits
17 RepliesJump to last post
Not sure how many have heard these tidbits surrounding Bear Stearns:
When the (buy us) presentation was held by Bear Stearns for interested parties, only 2 companies showed up, JP Morgan & Joseph (Flowers or Lewis?) Inc. It was thought that the other (no show) firms' balance sheets may not have allowed them to place an offer.
Although terms of the deal are still vague, JP Morgan essentially has a Fed guarantee on the assets of Bear Stearns; i.e., a no-lose proposition.
Joseph Lewis, a billionaire, invested over $1.10 billion in Bear, since January of last year, acquiring a 9% stake. Now, well, uhhh, let's just say he has a heap of tax-loss write offs. A big heap.
Can someone explain to me, with a $2 buyout offer on the table, and no other capable buyers showing up with offers, the stock closed at $4 and change today?
Can someone explain to me, with a $2 buyout offer on the table, and no other capable buyers showing up with offers, the stock closed at $4 and change today?What am I missing?
Shorts covering....
Sale still has to be approved by the shareholders as BSC is still a publicly traded company. The share price reflects optimism that someone (anyone) will step up with a better offer than the ridiculous $2 a share offer.
Doesnt make sense to me. Who is going to step in. Citi has their own problems, BAC is trying to swallow Countrywide. Who is going to step in, JC Flowers? Who in the F**ckn hell is JC Flowers? Sounds like one of Jordan Belfourts firms, of Stratton Oakmont fame.
As far as shorts covering, why would someone short, cover at $4.50, if the stock is being taken under at 2
Anybody with more than $230mm could step in. The building in NY is worth more than $230mm. It would not necessarily be another big financial, it could be a smaller player with a lot of cash. With the government gaurantee (which I would bet would be offered to other prospective buyers) all it takes is the cash. As bad as it is in the financial sector, $230mm still is not much money.
Who would step in? How about Wachovia, Wells, Berkshire, Goldman, or someone like Icahn. Possiblilities are endless.
OK, good points all.
But I guess, if my grandmother had balls she'd be my grandfather, so I am dreaming.
Don't forget there was a building & the liability - debt payments, depositors, current deals, payroll, etc. It couldn't be someone w/ $231MM in cash because the run would have just continued. It had be someone w/ 100's of billions of dollars behind it & a good name to restore confidence. Jaime Dimon somehow managed to avoid the subprime mess to a great degree & now he's King.
It makes a ton of sense that the Fed required a bank to be the acquirer. They're taking $30B of the most toxic of stuff off of JP Morgan's books for the time being. They don't want to have to deal with the same issue twice.
Brilliant move by the Fed, and a double tot to Mr. Dimon & JPM.
There were a bunch of bidders, the post above is incorrect. Many of them were willing to pay much more for Bear, BUT the fed would only allow a bank to buy them. Hence the JPM deal at $2.
The tidbits were compiled from several articles I read. However, given the obscene low price paid, I would choose to believe that few bidders showed-up. I can't confirm Fed restrictions on just "who" could show-up for the "dog & pony" show.
The fed held a gun to Bear's head and said do a deal today or we're gone. $2.00 on Sunday or bankruptcy on Monday. The $4.00 stock price reflects exactly what has been posted here, that is the belief that other buyers will emerge.
What we're not seeing here is what we don't know. And that is; just how bad was this that the fed did what they did and bear did what it did? Safe to say, it was really bad?
Sorry, BondGuy... bad situation for the shareholders.
I was being retorical, whatever that is. of course really bad for all.
When discussing BSC assets everyone keeps pointing out Bear's building and what it's worth. I would venture that Bear's Pass Line bets have eclipsed the value of the building. Regardless, what everyone is overlooking is that building's most valuable feature. And that is it's rooftop access and distance to the pavement.
There is a good "background" article in today's Wall Street Journal.
I predict that, within 6 months, there will be another Sarbanes-Oxley-type of legislation passed to "remedy" this type of situation.
Dobe, you are probably dead on. Too bad the people that come up with these "remedies', wouldnt know a remedy if it farted on them.
Had a dinner seminar tonight with a Fixed Income Strategist as the guest speaker. Although he is Fixed Income, he has a lot of contact with the trading floor and other strategists. Very bright guy.
I agree with him. There is no way this stock goes from $2 to 6 plus, on short covering.

When Millie was five years old, she had a book about clouds. Her head wasn't always up there with them, but she looked straight up at the centre of the neverending blue and dreamed of flying, floating all the way up into forever.
When Millie was older, she had a skateboard. She shot about as if sheer speed could break gravity, learning all the tricks to throw herself up and touch the edge of the sky. She still dreamed of flying, forwards and upwards like a rocket, and for minutes at a time she was.
When Millie was a little older still, she had a surfboard. The waves took her higher and farther, and no matter how they tried to bump and break her, she was always on top, aiming for the open horizon. She dreamed of flying, and made it happen almost every day, no matter what the sea threw at her.
Now Millie's older, and she has a bottle. Rubber is good for nothing but to be used and abused. Balloons are popped, tires are bumped and burst, elastic bands stretched and snapped. You wouldn't see a work of art made of rubber, or people treating it with care. It's there to be put to the test of its limits. At least, that's what she's come to know.
Sometimes she dreams of flying, or the edge of the sky to touch, or the horizon that was hers, but she's been looking at the gutter for a while now.

And then I did this.
It's just a write-up of what came to mind when I saw the picture, and it was nagging me to get it down, but all dues do go to Belle's owner for me getting the idea in the first place.
And then I did this.
It's just a write-up of what came to mind when I saw the picture, and it was nagging me to get it down, but all dues do go to Belle's owner for me getting the idea in the first place.
Well done indeed.
I echo everyone else, this is truly fabulous. It's a great written turn on what Grey drew but without feeling derivative or just explanatory. it's... it's exploratory!
It's very sweet and sad. I love the overall theme of horizons and striving upwards. And it ended on a note that, while depressing, feels perfectly in sync with Belle's overall outlook on life, that is made all the much harsher before the backdrop of happy memories.
It did seem the most appropriate, given the age meme went exactly the same way. ^^ I'm glad I've done justice.
This is excellent! I love reading this shizzle; I find you've caught her so perfectly; and I LOVE how you tire it all together with her wish for flying; the whole Rubber-section really got me - Never really thought about it; but seeing it in writing, from you, it makes SO much sense!
This was beautiful and perfect. It is exactally her. You captured her personality perfectly.
Thank you!
Thank you!

Pacific Lumber Props Up MRC/Marathon Plan
By Jesse Greenspan
Bankruptcy Law 360
May 1, 2008
Bankrupt Pacific Lumber and its parent company, Maxxam Inc., said Thursday that they would back a proposed reorganization plan by MRC/Marathon that is widely supported by federal officials and environmentalists.
"Consistent with a 20-year history of support for Pacific Lumber, Maxxam believes that this plan represents the best outcome for the company and its workers," Maxxam said in a statement.
The same day, however, Harvard University's endowment reportedly said it was ready to file its own reorganization plan for Pacific Lumber that would include the purchase of 200,000 acres of timberlands.
The plan would offer more money than the one put forth by logging company Mendocino Redwood Co. LLC and hedge fund Marathon Structured Finance Fund LP, but would otherwise be similar, the Associated Press reported. Another plan on the table was put forward by the bondholders of Scotia Pacific, a subsidiary of Pacific Lumber. Under that plan, the 200,000 acres of timberlands would be auctioned off.
The various sides have been disputing the case all of this week in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Neither an attorney for Pacific Lumber nor an official with MRC responded to a request for comment on Thursday. An attorney for the bondholders wrote in an e-mail that it would be inappropriate to comment on pending litigation. About a month ago, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger threw his support behind the reorganization plan proposed by MRC and Marathon, contending in a letter that the group's outline best satisfied the goal of protecting California timberlands.
"The MRC/Marathon plan best satisfies the first and second principles — compliance with federal and state laws, permits and agreements — because it makes concrete pledges to abide by all environmental laws, existing permits and agreements," the letter said.
"In addition the MRC/Marathon plan would uphold and maintain the Pacific Lumber Company Habitat Conservation Plan and other environmental obligations," it added.
Schwarzenegger said he is particularly concerned with reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and MRC has already demonstrated a commitment to "exemplary forestry management practices," according to the letter. Finally, he said that the plan appeared to offer the best chance for a reorganized company that is positioned for long-term success.
Those sentiments were echoed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Department of the Interior, the National Marine Fisheries Service and some environmental groups.
Oakland, Calif.-based Pacific Lumber, along with its subsidiaries, filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2007, citing regulatory limitations as the main cause of its liquidity problem. The company said the deals reduced its revenues and raised its harvesting costs.
Pacific Lumber listed assets and debts at over $100 million each in its Chapter 11 filing.
The case is In re: Scotia Development LLC, case number 07-20027, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Ivan Abramson
Jump to
A busy presence in the independent film market of 1914-1925, Ivan Abramson had been a director for Jacob P. Adler's Jewish stage company for 15 years. In 1914, Abramson founded Ivan Film Productions, Inc., whose best-known productions were moralistic stories of the kind that would be termed "exploitation melodrama" in later decades. The best known was Enlighten Thy Daughter (1917), which he also wrote and directed. Zena Keefe starred as the naive girl who loses her innocence on a stormy night because her parents failed to inform her of the facts of life. (The melodrama was dusted off by low-budget producer Louis Weiss and remade as a talkie in 1933.) Abramson left the Ivan company in 1917 to found the Graphic Film Corporation, whose first production, Moral Suicide, was yet another exploitation thriller. Catching 'em on their way up or down, the New York-based Graphic productions featured both the veteran Gail Kane and Broadway newcomer Tallulah Bankhead, the latter making her screen debut in Abramson's 1918 When Men Betray. Like most independent operators, Abramson was out of the film business by the mid-'20s.

Brian Burke on why summer World Cup of Hockey is no-brainer
Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke has an op-ed piece in the National Post on Thursday about the future of the NHL and international play that's worth your time, if only to boil it down to its essential theme: Money.
It's an argument that the NHL and its players should be financially compensated in a significant way for participation in the Winter Olympics or world championships. That the honor of representing your country isn't enough when there are risks to players and the league, and "when the International Ice Hockey Federation and the International Olympic Committee receive multiple millions of dollars from these tournaments."
At first, I thought this stance was at loggerheads with what Burke said after the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, praising the tournament for increasing interest in hockey (if not in the NHL) around the U.S. following that silver-medal run by a team Burke helped build. But it's not that black-and-white.
He doesn't say the NHL needs to end its participation in the Olympics, but rather that the tournament has to "work for all the parties." Burke's long been a proponent of moving ice hockey to the Summer Games, which is practical for the NHL but nonsensical thematically for the Olympics. The bottom line in making it work for all parties: "The NHL and its players need to be compensated."
Burke's big solution to the NHL's high risks and low rewards in international tournaments? Restart the World Cup. And he makes a lot of sense.
Last year, it was reported that the World Cup of Hockey was scheduled to return in 2011 as the NHLPA and the NHL had an agreement on how to divvy up revenues. That former NHLPA executive director Paul Kelly was the one that confirmed that report to Sportsnet should tell you that conditions have changed for the Players Association since then.
With nothing concrete about the return of the World Cup, Burke makes an argument for its necessity: That a late-summer tournament would keep hockey on the minds of fans in "the 24/7, 365-day era of competing entertainment options." From the National Post:
NHL owners will not shut down their businesses mid-season; teams, fans and players do not have to shoulder in-season injury risks and post-tournament slumps; and players can earn some additional income and use the tournament to prepare for the upcoming season.
As a kickoff to NHL and European league schedules, a World Cup allows a host of good results -- all of which allow for growth beyond the current schedule and fan base.
Teams condition, train and practise in home nations, giving them the chance to showcase local talent that may play in a distant NHL city. Players avoid extra travel and are highlighted in their home nations, offering them new chances to capitalize on local commercial opportunities, particularly important for those where language may inhibit endorsement opportunities in their own NHL cities. Most importantly, fans get extra exposure to the game and their national team.
Burke sees a World Cup that alternates years with the IIHF world championships, and that doesn't need to exist in lieu of the Olympics (provided the NHL and its players are better compensated for that every four years).
I like the idea of a World Cup of Hockey existing here in doldrums of August, leading right into training camp and the exhibition season. (Which is reminiscent of the argument that the NHL All-Star game should be moved to season's start as a kickoff rather than a mid-season interruption.) Hell, think of the buzz the NHL has gotten amongst fans for trying out goofy rules this month; imagine if there were a series of All-Star games with patriotic fervor being played instead.
But we come back to these issues: Risk and compensation.
World Cup revenues will be higher for the NHL and the NHLPA than they are for current international tournaments, and the television rights could sweeten the pot for the NHL's next television contract, as Sean Leahy pointed out in this post about the World Cup of Hockey and ESPN.
Still, there are risks. An injury in August won't be as impactful as an injury during the Winter Games in February, but it would still impact the regular season -- considering these are star and above-average players we're talking about there.
Would the tournament be worth the trouble if it doesn't grow behind hockey's niche? Will the players be excited or apathetic for an August tournament whose preparation will cut into family and vacation time?
But those are the details. Burke's Big Idea is a fair one: That international play is essential for growing the game, but that it shouldn't necessarily be charity work by the NHL and its players, considering the risks and inconveniences.
