This chapter presents results of a grounded theory literature search on sustainability of the disabled population in countries of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC), which are composed of the countries surrounding the southern coast of the Persian Gulf and Oman. Research focused on the adaptability of the GCC's Arabic culture to accommodate a growing number of disabled people in its population, the potential areas of an increase or a decrease in its disabled population, and the advantages and potential problems in the societies of the GCC's constituent countries.

The Parlor Mob
Dinosaur Eyelids, Problem Solving
The Parlor Mob is a rock band.
The band consists of guitarists Paul Ritchie and David Rosen, drummer Sam Bey, bassist Anthony Chick, and vocalist Mark Melicia. Formed in 2004 in New Jersey, the band self released an album in 2005, they were signed in 2007, released their Roadrunner Records debut "And You Were A Crow" in 2008, and are currently in production on their next album in Austin, TX.
On their upcoming 2011 release:
"The process that brought us here with these songs was long, extremely intense and emotionally heavy, and we're fully aware it took a bit longer than expected, but the recording process we plan on making fast, spontaneous and equally as emotionally charged.
We're currently more powerful than we've ever been, and feel more strongly about these songs than we ever have about anything in our career.
We cannot wait to bring you this record.
Love, The Parlor Mob"
Dinosaur Eyelids
For a band to proclaim that they are: "alternative rock for a new generation" on the back of their debut release takes guts.
Their brand of alternative rock is hard-hitting and straight to the point, while grunge and metal can be heard in amongst the driving melodies, which is unsurprising, given that Black Sabbath, Kyuss and Soundgarden are cited as influences.
'White Lies' and 'Waves' are undoubtedly the stand out tracks here, along with the down-tuned fuzz of the albums title track.
Dinosaur Eyelids have played 45 shows since they began touring in June 2009, and the tightness of Winter Solstice can be attributed to this.
The four-piece are busy putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming release, Down The River, which will hopefully see their individual brand of alternative rock leave their New Jersey roots, for the good of their generation.
Problem Solving
The long and the short of the story is that we are a four piece original rock n roll band from Philadelphia. In one form or another, Problem Solving has been together since 1998. First playing in Coffee shops and Schools in thier younger days, PS now plays the downtown Philadelphia Clubs as well as surrounding areas. We love bands and original music. If you in a band we want to play with you. We want you to play with us. You like music? Come out to a show. We want you to have a good time, maybe get lit up, meet a nice guy or girl, get married and invite us as a band to your wedding. After all you did meet at our show, it's the least you can do..... Add your friends!.... Witty remarks are also welcome (not gratuitous ads from bands we never heard of. Seriously be reasonable. We don't mind and ad, but at least introduce yourself first. Or we will be posting on your site the biggest, most obnoxious ad in the history of MySpace, YourSpace & Everyone'sSpace.)..... Up Next: Problem Solving will Traverse the known Universe...AND BEYOND!!.. .. ....

Dana White's math isn't adding up, according to former UFC light heavyweight champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. Back in January 2013, the UFC president told MMA journalist Ariel Helwani that Jackson had earned $15.2 million from 2007 to 2012. When speaking with Fight Hub, Jackson finally had an opportunity to address those figures: The UFC put a big number out there that I made so much money over the years, and honestly, I don't believe that it's true.

Hi Pamela, I think you could accomplish what you are trying to do in Family Tree Maker by creating a new fact in Family Tree Maker. Go to the person tab and click the little blue cross (upper right) this will allow you to create a new fact you could make individual ones for each Quaker date you will be entering for your different ancestors. When you create a fact for one person it will be available for all individuals. Then on the family tab (lower right) there is a customize view option you can add your new facts to the portion you see on the right hand side of the family view sheet and this will allow you to easily add or see your Quaker facts on this family sheet. For instance you could add fact: MM date, IOM1 (Intention of marriage), MAM (Marriage anounced at meeting date) If this doesn't make sense let me know and I can send you screen shots to your email for how to do this.

Three of football's wealthiest people are Jewish, according to new research.
With an estimated fortune of £7.8bn, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, 42, heads the Jewish delegation, retaining third position in the 2009 FourFourTwo.com Rich List.
Trailing Lakshmi Mittal (£18.4bn) and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan (£17bn), the father-of-five has reportedly made more than £600m in the past 12 months.
But the economic downturn has seen huge losses to even the biggest fortunes.
Comedian David Baddiel and his writer brother, Ivor, are making a short film in a bid to curb antisemitism in football.
The Y Word is a two-minute film which will feature Premiership footballers and highlight the use of the word "Yid" in football chants.
The brothers, both keen Chelsea fans, are now rounding up footballers to feature in the film, which has the backing of the FA, the Professional Footballers' Association, the Premier League and campaigners Kick Racism out of Football. The plan is to screen it before matches with a likely completion early next year.
Five goals from Dominic Feldman inspired London Maccabi Lions Under 13s to an 8-1 demolition of Chipperfield Corinthians in the West Herts League. Ben Myers, Adam Abadi and Sam Robbins completed the rout.
Alexander Bazar-Rosen and Jake Bluston were on the mark as LML Unders 10s beat Hemel Panthers in the Yellow Division.
Nathan Kaye, Sam Morgan, Jack Miller and an own goal helped LML Under Nine's tame Harpenden Cougars.
In the Watford Friendly League, Harry Davis (2), Charlie Cohen, Nick Landsberg and an own goal earned LML Blue Under 16s a 5-3 win over Croxley.
The UJS is holding its second national students-only five-a-side JUefa Cup tournament in Birmingham on October 25. There will also be a girls' tournament, a Crossbar Challenge and BBQ, along with prizes including tickets for a Real Madrid match at the Bernabeu.

Israel's players may not have given up hope of reaching the 2010 World Cup finals, but it seems that their supporters have.
Only 5,000 fans are expected to turn up in Ramat Gan tomorrow for the penultimate Group Two qualifier against Moldova, leaving 35,000 seats unfilled.
Lying fourth in the group, Israel need a miracle to clinch a top two finish. They conclude the campaign in Switzerland, the current leaders, in what could be a decisive match.
Avram Grant has been reinstalled as Director of Football at Premier League strugglers Portsmouth.
The former Chelsea manager, 54, joined the Fratton Park club in the same role in June 2006, just months after stepping down from the Israel national job.
The appointment was made days after billionaire Saudi businessman Ali Al Faraj bought the club.
Six Betar Jerusalem fans stormed into a press conference held by Uefa president Michel Platini in Tel Aviv on Tuesday before swearing at Israel FA chairman Avi Luzon.
One angry fan even approached the former France and Juventus legend and attempted to drape a Betar scarf around his neck.
The men, who were ejected, were protesting what they felt were refereeing errors in Betar's 3-2 defeat at Hapoel Beer Sheva the previous day.
Chelsea FC have pledged to find and ban supporters filmed singing antisemitic songs about rivals Tottenham at a match last month.
Clips of fans chanting in a concourse at Stoke City's Britannia Stadium were posted on YouTube, leading Spurs to complain to the west London club.
They can be heard singing "Spurs are on their way to Auschwitz" while beer bottles are thrown around.
Chelsea, owned by Roman Abramovich, said they had passed the clips to police who are now investigating.
Nathan Kaye, Sam Morgan, Jack Miller and own goal helped LML Under Nine's tame Harpenden Cougars.
In the Watford Friendly League, Harry Davis (2), Charlie Cohen, Nick Landsberg and an own goal earned LML Blue Under 16s a 5-3 win over Croxley in the.
London Lions reserves climbed to second in the Herts Senior County League Division One courtesy of a 6-1 drubbing of Bovingdon, the team's fourth consecutive league victory.
The were five changes from the previous week, including Andy Myers, returning after a month's suspension and Richard Baum and Josh Gordon, both answering late call-ups for their first appearances of the season in a Lions shirt.
Lining up in a more defensive than usual 4-4-2 formation, manager Jon Green demanded 90 minutes focus and concentration for what has always been a tough fixture.

DEFINITION of 'Perpetual Option - XPO'
A non-standard financial option with no fixed maturity and no exercise limit. While the life of a standard option can vary from a few days to several years, a perpetual option (XPO) can be exercised at any time. Perpetual options are considered an American option; European options can be exercised only on the option's maturity date.
Also referred to as "non-expiring options" or "expirationless options."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Perpetual Option - XPO'
For investors, perpetual options represent the highest ratio of possible risk/reward payoff compared to existing financial products. Perpetual options are viewed as "plain vanilla" options. For many investors they represent an advantage over other instruments (where dividends and/or voting rights are not a high priority) because the strike price on a perpetual option enables the holder to choose the buy or sell price point instead of having to select a singular stock price. In addition, XPOs can be preferable to standard options because they eliminate the expiration risk.

Abstract: Biodegradabilities of polymers and their composites in a controlled compost were described. Polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were employed as biodegradable polymers. Biodegradabilities of PCL and PLA samples in a controlled compost were measured using a Microbial Oxidative Degradation Analyzer (MODA) according to ISO 14855-2. Sample preparation method for biodegradation test according to ISO/DIS 10210 was also described. Effects of sizes and shapes of samples on biodegradability were studied. Reproducibility of biodegradation test of ISO 14855-2 by MODA was confirmed. Validity of sample preparation method for polymer pellets, polymer film, and polymer products of ISO/DIS 10210 for ISO 14855-2 was confirmed.

Justin Edmonds/Getty ImagesBrandon Lloyd played for new Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels in both Denver and St. Louis.
Free-agent receiver Brandon Lloyd came across well during his interview with Mike Florio on PFT Live on Monday.
Lloyd spoke about the relationships he built with players on the Rams and how he'd be open to returning to the team in 2012, even if it was on the franchise tag ("a pay raise is always welcomed"). He said talks with the Rams are expected to begin this week.
Lloyd also was asked about the possibility of joining the Patriots, where he would reunite with Josh McDaniels, the coach with whom he's had his greatest success.
"Yes, I find that very interesting," Lloyd said. "I would like to entertain that and see where that goes. There is no bones about that. I've been very successful in Josh McDaniels' offense. I really admire Tom Brady. I admire that organization and how they run things over there. I'd definitely be interested in hearing how I could possibly fit into that equation."
Earlier in the interview, Lloyd explained why McDaniels' offense was such a good fit for him.
"He gave me a really large route tree and just the way the plays were designed, I was put in positions where I could just make catches. I wasn't expected to do anything that I wasn't good at and I think that's what he did for all the receivers," Lloyd explained, calling the scheme creative. "He really puts guys in situations to where we're confident and we can perform at maximum levels."
OPINION: The smartest thing for Lloyd to do at this time is keep all options open, and his interview on PFT Live reflected that he's adopting that approach. Any chatter of him being linked to the Patriots only helps him on the open market because New England's personnel acumen is respected in some NFL circles to the point that, "If Belichick is interested, maybe we should take a closer look." After listening to the interview, my feeling is that the Patriots could be in good position to win a tie-breaker if the money was equal to other teams, but as expected, finances will be a significant part of Lloyd's decision-making process.

Timing Shouldn't Be a Problem for the Gang...
Despite broad enthusiasm for the Gang of Six proposal released yesterday, some have argued that there isn't enough time to put it into law. Senator Majority leader Harry Reid said, for example:
The Gang's All Here
The Gang of Six has been working on a fiscal plan for months now, and it appears that they are now ready to step into the debt debate in the eleventh hour. More positively, it looks like they may have a wide swath of support in the Senate.
Senator Coburn Introduces New Deficit Reduction Plan
At a press conference earlier this afternoon, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) officially released his deficit reduction plan, Back in Black--not to be confused with the Peterson-Pew report Getting Back in the Black. The package offers a wide range of savings options, totaling a little over $9 trillion. The plan is extremely detailed -- as Sen.
Details Emerging About Sen. Conrad's Budget
It's the budget that's been stuck in limbo. Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND), chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, has reportedly been working on a Senate Democratic budget for months, seemingly having held off to see what happens first with the Gang of Six and now with the debt ceiling negotiations. While there has been no official release yet, we do have some broad outlines of what the budget looks like from a speech Sen. Conrad gave yesterday on the floor of the Senate.
'Line' Items: Goals Edition
Clutch Goals -- The U.S. Women's Soccer team scored an improbable victory over Brazil on Sunday in the Women's World Cup, overcoming a scoring and manpower deficit with a last-minute goal and sealing the victory through penalty kicks. A similar storyline is playing out in Washington involving a different deficit -- the federal budget deficit. It looks as if negotiations to raise the statutory debt limit and reduce the deficit will also come down to the wire.
'Line' Items: Independence Day Edition
More Fireworks in Store – Washington, DC celebrated Independence Day on Monday night with its annual fireworks display on the National Mall. Though the traditional pyrotechnics may be out of the way, lawmakers returning to work today could produce more fireworks in the nation's capital.
Senate Armed Services Committee Report
As our nation's debt continues along its unsustainable path, it has become increasingly essential for a comprehensive fiscal plan that targets all areas of the federal budget—including defense.
Senate Votes to Cut Spending in the Tax Code
For anyone who is interested in seeing tax subsidies cleaned up, there's a bit of good news for you. The Senate voted yesterday to eliminate a $5.4 billion per year ethanol tax credit by a tally of 73-27. The vote came on an amendment to the economic development bill that is making its way through the Congress.
Actually, Raising the Medicare Age is Also a Good Idea
Update: As it turns out, increasing the Medicare age actually improves benefits for low-income seniors, thus helping to most disadvantaged.
'Line' Items: The Heat is on Edition
Except in Miami – The Miami Heat weren't hot enough, but Washington saw record temperatures last week. Capitol Hill may warm things up this week as well as both chambers are in session together for the first time this month and the Biden group looks to pick up the pace of its debt limit/deficit reduction negotiations. CRFB will also add some sizzle with a big conference this week.

PROCEDURES What to do when in doubt By Beth Daley, Globe Staff, 11/4/2001
What do you do?
First, put the letter down and wash your hands vigorously with soap and water. Then, do what health and safety officials are asking everyone in Massachu-ufsafebodysetts to do if they encounter suspicious mail or white powder - use a healthy dose of common sense.
Overwhelmed with thousands of phone calls and items to be tested for anthrax spores, authorities say you should run through specific questions about whatever you have found before picking up the phone to dial 911:
Is it expected?You should try not to call authorities about mail that you anticipated receiving. The same goes for white powder in an unsurprising place, like near the cosmetics section in a pharmacy. Many packages and shoe boxes include packets of a white substance to absorb moisture that may break open. Newspapers may appear powdery because of loose fibers or because of a white powder used in the collating process. Magazine publishers also use cornstarch to help ink dry.
Is it threatening? Call 911 if any writing on a letter, package, or other object specifically mentions a threat of anthrax - or any other danger. So far, state officials have responded to about 20 such threatening letters. All have turned out to be hoaxes. But since there is no easy way to tell the difference between a hoax and a real threat, authorities are treating any threatening letters or packages as real and will continue to do so.
Is it suspicious? This is the hardest question to answer. Suspicious mail might have no return address or have an odor. Suspicious white powder might be found somewhere unexpected, such as underneath a desk in an office.
The trouble is, most people get lots of mail and encounter lots of white powder that meets one or many of those descriptions. Health official Paul Jacobsen suggests you stop and ask yourself this question: On Sept. 10, what would I have thought of this?
Except in one case, ''the known cases of anthrax are related to mail and government agencies,'' says Jacobsen, deputy commissioner of the state Department of Public Health. ''None of them have had any connection with anybody's home as far as we know.''
With billions of pieces of mail moving through the system, the odds that your mail has been affected are minute. But if you feel you've ruled out all possible reasons for the discovery of white powder or unusual mail, you should call 911. You do not need to call the state Department of Public Health directly. (Officials there say that if you feel a need to drop items off to be tested, you should call first.)
You should also not move mail or packages you feel are suspicious. Anything truly contaminated should be covered and left untouched so the contamination does not spread.
After you call 911, the local fire department will be notified to visit your house or business and assess the situation. If they can't rule out anthrax right away, they will call the state fire marshal's hazardous materials team to come in with air masks and moon suits to bag the substance and take it to the state lab to be tested. Be warned, however: All items tested are superheated and most will be thrown away.
In the unlikely event you have been exposed to anthrax, first, wash your hands. Then call 911. If an object you submit tests positive for anthrax, health officials will immediately start treating you with antibiotics, whether or not you have symptoms.
Although anthrax cannot be transmitted from person to person, health officials will also probably start treating family, friends, and anyone you were in contact with until they can pinpoint where the contamination came from. They will also determine if your home or office needs to be closed for decontamination.
There are no easy answers, but authorities stress that people should exercise ''reasonable caution'' and go about their normal lives.
So far, the state hazardous materials team has made more than 450 visits since Sept. 11 - more than 10 times the number they usually make.
Ralph Timperi, who runs the state Department of Public Health laboratory in Jamaica Plain, says scientists in his lab have been working seven days a week testing items for anthrax - and he fears that a glut of low-risk items could interfere with the lab's ability to report an anthrax finding quickly.
In addition to letters, the agency has tested a pay phone in Pittsfield, a green postal collection box in Seekonk, shoes, an iron, a Christmas gingerbread house, and even a VCR. At least two Dunkin' Donuts bags have been sent to health authorities because residue from a powdery donut was inside. Someone reported a white powder on a supermarket baking aisle, which turned out to be flour.
This does not mean that there are no real bioterror threats that could crop up. But of close to 2,000 items tested by the state lab so far, not one has shown signs of anthrax.
Authorities have not been called about anything but anthrax, although there was a hoax in Newton last week regarding a package marked ''small pox'' that turned out to hold cheese.
Police warn that anyone caught even trying to send a hoax letter about anthrax or any other potential contaminant in the mail will be arrested.

Wilhelm Franz Canaris (1 January 1887 – 9 April 1945) was a German admiral, and chief of the Abwehr, the German military intelligence service, from 1935 to 1944. During the Second World War, he was among the military officers involved in the clandestine opposition to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. He was executed in the Flossenbürg concentration camp for the act of high treason.
Canaris was born in Aplerbeck (now a part of Dortmund) in Westphalia, the son of Carl Canaris, a rich industrialist, by his marriage to Auguste Popp. Canaris believed that his family was related to the Greek admiral, freedom fighter, and politician Constantine Kanaris, which influenced his decision to join the Imperial German Navy. While on a visit to Corfu, he was given a portrait of the Greek hero which he always kept in his office. But Richard Bassett claims that a genealogical investigation in 1938 showed that Canaris's family was of Northern Italian descent, originally called Canarisi, and had lived in Germany since the 17th century.[1] His grandfather had converted from Roman Catholicism to Lutheranism.
In 1905, aged seventeen, Canaris joined the Imperial Navy and by the outbreak of the First World War was serving on board the cruiser SMS Dresden as an intelligence officer. This was the only battleship that managed to evade the British fleet for a prolonged period during the Battle of the Falkland Islands of December 1914, largely due to the excellent deception tactics of Canaris. While anchored in Cumberland Bay, Robinson Crusoe Island, Dresden was trapped and forced to scuttle after the lost Battle of Mas a Tierra with the Royal Navy. Most of the crew were interned in Chile in March 1915, but in August 1915 Canaris escaped, using his fluency in Spanish; with the help of some German merchants he returned to Germany in October 1915, on the way calling at several ports, including one in Great Britain.
Canaris was then given intelligence work and sent to Spain, where he survived a British assassination attempt. Returning to active service, he ended the war as a celebrated U-boat commander from late 1917 in the Mediterranean and was credited with eighteen sinkings. He spoke English fluently (as well as four other foreign languages), and as a naval officer of the old school had great respect for Great Britain's Royal Navy, despite the rivalry between the two nations.
During the German Revolution of 1918–1919, Canaris helped organise the formation of freikorps paramilitary units in order to suppress the Communist revolutionary movements that were attempting to spread the Russian Revolution into central European nations. He was also a member of the military court that tried (and mostly acquitted) those involved in the assassination of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. He was appointed to the adjutancy of defence minister Gustav Noske.[2] In 1919, he married Erika Waag, also the child of an industrialist. They had two daughters, Eva and Brigitte.[citation needed]
Canaris remained in the military after the war, first as a member of the Freikorps and then as part of the Reichsmarine. He was promoted rapidly, becoming a Captain in 1931, the Executive Officer of the cruiser Berlin and then the Commanding Officer of the battleship Schlesien. At this time, he became involved in intelligence work again. He made a series of contacts with high-ranking German officers, politicians and industrialists for the purpose of creating order in German politics. During his Freikorps period, he was on intimate terms with people such as Horst von Pflugk-Harttung who were accused of political assassinations of leaders of the left, and was even accused himself, although later acquitted, of being involved in the assassinations and other crimes (such as his alleged involvement in Rosa Luxembourg's "trial"). During the 1930–33 period, Canaris was following a course quite parallel to the one followed by the future Nazi Party leaders although never a party member himself.[citation needed]
After Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933, Canaris was made head of the Abwehr, Germany's official military intelligence agency, on 1 January 1935. Later that year, he was promoted Rear Admiral. During the period 1935–36, he made contacts in Spain to organise a German spy network there, due to his excellent Spanish.[citation needed]
Until 1937 he was a supporter of Hitler's rule, considering the Nazi movement to be the only available political entity capable of stopping the spread of Communism from the influence of the Soviet Union. However beginning in 1938 he started to radically alter his thoughts on the nature of the Third Reich, and Hitler's policies and plans.[citation needed]
He tried to hinder Hitler's attempts to absorb Czechoslovakia and he also advised Franco not to permit German passage through Spain for the purposes of capturing Gibraltar. Arguments used by Franco to counter Hitler's demands for German access to Spanish territory were influenced directly by Canaris, who met with a number of his top advisors.[3] Additionally, a significant sum of money had been deposited by the British in Swiss accounts for Franco and his generals to maintain their neutrality.[4]
During the 1938 crisis over Czechoslovakia that culminated in the Munich Agreement, Canaris was together with the army chief of staff, General Ludwig Beck and the Foreign Office's state secretary Ernst von Weizsäcker, a leader of the "anti-war" group in the German government, which was determined to avoid a war in 1938 that it felt Germany would lose.
This group was not necessarily committed to the overthrow of the regime, but was loosely allied to another, more radical group, the "anti-Nazi" faction centered around Colonel Hans Oster and Hans Bernd Gisevius, which wanted to use the crisis as an excuse for executing a putsch to overthrow the Nazi regime.[5]
His most audacious attempt was in planning, with Ewald von Kleist-Schmenzin, to capture and eliminate Hitler and the entire Nazi party before the invasion of Czechoslovakia. At this particular moment, von Kleist visited Britain secretly and discussed the situation with British MI6 and some high-ranking politicians. There, the name of Canaris became widely known as the executive hand of von Kleist in the event of an anti-Nazi plot. The high-ranking German military leaders believed that if Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia, or any other country, then Britain would declare war on Germany. MI6 was of the same opinion. The British declaration of war would have given the General Staff, in their belief, both the pretext and support for an overthrow of Hitler.[6]
The British reaction, however, to Hitler's demands on the Sudetenland was more cautious. At a meeting with Hitler in Munich, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Édouard Daladier chose diplomacy over war. Munich was a severe disappointment for Kleist and Canaris. It gave Hitler's international reputation an important boost for two reasons: one, he was able to play the part of a man of reason and compromise; and two, he could boast that his predictions that Great Britain and France would not respond with war had proven to be correct. There are claims that Canaris, who was extremely shocked by this 'dishonest and stupid decision' (his own words), decided to be cautious and wait for a better time to act against Hitler.[citation needed]
In January 1939, Canaris manufactured the "Dutch War Scare", which gripped the British government. By 23 January 1939 the British government received information to the effect that Germany intended to invade the Netherlands in February 1939 with the aim of using Dutch air-fields to launch strategic bombing offensive intended to achieve a "knock-out" blow against Britain by razing British cities to the ground.[7] All this information was false, and it was intended by Canaris to achieve a change in British foreign policy.[8] In this, Canaris was successful, and the "Dutch War Scare" played a major role in causing Chamberlain to make the "continental commitment" (i.e. sending a large British ground force to the defence of France) in February 1939.[9]
Nevertheless, it appears likely[vague] that MI6 maintained contact with Canaris even after the Munich Agreement signed on 30 September 1938. When Winston Churchill came to power after the resignation of Chamberlain in May 1940, Canaris' hopes were renewed, given the new Prime Minister's strong position against Hitler.
Reinhard Heydrich, who as a naval cadet had served under Canaris and had become his protégé, friend, and neighbour, was at the time the leader of the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) and now became Canaris's rival. The posting of Canaris to the Abwehr is supposed to have had the secret approval of the dynamic Heydrich, who preferred him to his predecessor, Commander Pfatz, who had been out of step with the Nazi party. Heydrich wanted an Abwehr which could be controlled and was keeping a close eye on Canaris. Outwardly Canaris gave the appearance of sidingwith his friend Heydrich, but this wasin order to give the Abwehr a chance to grow and become a considerable force. According to Bassett, Canaris was deeply frustrated by a briefing given by Hitler before the attack on Poland.[10] During this briefing, he learned about a series of exterminations which had been ordered and was required to take notes on them. These notes, the book states, were sent to the British intelligence service, MI6. After the outbreak of war between Germany and Poland, in September 1939, Canaris visited the front and witnessed examples of the war crimes committed by the SS Einsatzgruppen, including the burning of the synagogue in Będzin. He also received reports from Abwehr agents about several incidents of mass murder throughout Poland.
After hearing reports of and even witnessing massacres in Poland, on 12 September 1939 Canaris visited Hitler's headquarters train, at the time in Upper Silesia, to register his objection to the atrocities; before getting to see Hitler he met General Wilhelm Keitel whom he informed: "I have information that mass executions are being planned in Poland, and that members of the Polish nobility and the Roman Catholic bishops and priests have been singled out for extermination." Keitel warned Canaris to go no further with his protest, as the detailed plan of atrocities came directly from Hitler himself.[11]
Shocked by these incidents, Canaris began working more actively, at increasing risk to himself, to overthrow Hitler's régime, although he also cooperated with the SD to create a decoy. This made it possible for him to pose as a trusted man for some time. He was promoted to full Admiral in January 1940. With his subordinate Erwin Lahousen, he formed a circle of like-minded Wehrmacht officers, many of whom would be executed or forced to commit suicide after the failure of the 20 July Plot. At a conference of senior officers in Berlin, in December 1941, Canaris is quoted as saying "the Abwehr has nothing to do with the persecution of Jews....no concern of ours, we hold ourselves aloof from it".[12] It has been speculated that Canaris was in contact with British intelligence during this time, despite the war between the two countries. It is thought that during the invasion of Russia, he received a detailed report of all the enemy positions that was known only to the British. The head of MI6, Stewart Menzies, who shared Canaris's strong anti-communist beliefs, praised Canaris's courage and bravery at the end of the war.
In June 1942, Canaris sent eight Abwehr agents to the East Coast of the United States as part of Operation Pastorius. The mission was to sabotage American economic targets and demoralize the civilian population inside the United States. However, two weeks later, all were arrested by the FBI thanks to two Abwehr agents betraying the mission to America. Because Abwehr agents were arrested in civilian clothes, they were subject to court martial by a military tribunal in Washington D.C. All were found guilty and sentenced to death. Two others who cooperated with the FBI received sentences of life imprisonment instead. The others were executed by the electric chair in the District of Columbia jail. Due to the embarrassing failure of Operation Pastorius, no sabotage attempt was ever made in the United States.
After 1942, Canaris visited Spain frequently and was probably in contact with British agents from Gibraltar. In 1943, while in occupied France, Canaris is said to have made contact with British agents: he was conducted blindfolded to the Convent of the Nuns of the Passion of our Blessed Lord, 127 Rue de la Santé, where he met the local head of the British Intelligence Services, code name "Jade Amicol", in reality Colonel Claude Olivier. Canaris wanted to know the terms for peace if Germany got rid of Hitler. Churchill's reply, sent to him two weeks later, was simple: "Unconditional surrender".[13]
During Heydrich's posting in Prague, a serious incident put him and Canaris in open conflict. Heydrich requested that Canaris put the Abwehr under SD and SS control. Canaris appeared to retreat and handled the situation diplomatically, but there was no immediate effect on the Abwehr for the time being. In fact, Canaris had established another two links with MI6 — one via Zurich, and the other via Spain and Gibraltar. It is also possible that Vatican contacts provided a third route to his British counterparts.
Canaris also intervened to save a number of victims of Nazi persecution, including saving Jews, some by getting them to Spain.[14] Many such people were given token training as Abwehr "agents" and then issued papers allowing them to leave Germany. One notable person he is said to have assisted was the then Lubavitcher Rebbe in Warsaw, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn.[15] This has led Chabad Lubavitch to campaign for his recognition as a Righteous Gentile by the Yad VaShem Holocaust memorial.[16]
Colonel Wessel von Freytag-Loringhoven's son Niki, testifying in Munich in 1972 and in recent revelations, reports that Canaris was involved in the foiling of Hitler's plot to kidnap Pope Pius XII.[17][18] Colonel Freytag-Loringhoven was a subordinate of Canaris, and his son, Niki, reported that within days of the arrest of Benito Mussolini as ordered by King Victor Emmanuel III, the Führer commanded the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (the Third Reich's Security Headquarters) to retaliate against the Italians via the kidnapping or murder of Pius XII and King Victor Emmanuel.[17]
In 2009, Niki von Freytag-Loringhoven, then 72, came forward to reveal new details about the plan, reporting that on 29 and 30 July 1943 his father and Erwin von Lahousen, who were employed in the section of German intelligence dealing mainly with sabotage, attended a meeting in Venice where Canaris informed the Italian General, Cesare Amè, of the plot.[17][18] General Amè relayed the news which allowed the plot to be foiled.[17] The Italian paper Avvenire maintains that the younger Freytag von Loringhoven's accounts agree with von Lahousen's Nuremberg war crimes trials deposition.[17]
The evidence that he was playing a double game grew, and at the insistence of Heinrich Himmler, who had suspected him for a long time, Hitler dismissed Canaris from the Abwehr in February 1944, replacing him with Walter Schellenberg and merging most of the Abwehr with the Sicherheitsdienst (SD). Some weeks later, Canaris was put under house arrest, preventing him from taking part directly in the 20 July Plot, 1944, to assassinate Hitler.[citation needed]
However, just after the Stalingrad disaster, Canaris had already planned a coup against the entire Nazi regime in which many Nazi officials would be accused for known crimes, while Hitler would be arrested as an insane person based on his exposure to mustard gas in World War I, then imprisoned for life. After the 20 July Plot, Canaris's long-time rival, SS leader Heinrich Himmler discovered that one of the officers involved in the plot, a friend of Canaris who had committed suicide, had kept the plot details in a metal box. The investigations also revealed that a number of other assassination plots (possibly another 10 or 15) had been activated but had failed and were covered up at the last minute. Most people who participated in these plots were people Canaris knew well. In the aftermath of the attempt on Hitler's life, the Gestapo found no direct evidence tying Canaris to the plot, but his close association to many of the conspirators that were arrested was enough to seal his fate.[citation needed]
Himmler kept Canaris alive for some time because he planned to use him secretly as a future contact with the British in order to come to an agreement to end the war with himself as the leader of Germany. Hitler also wanted to keep him alive in order to get the names of additional conspirators. When Himmler's plan failed to materialize, he received the approval of Hitler to send Canaris to an SS drumhead court-martial presided over by Otto Thorbeck with Walter Huppenkothen as prosecutor that sentenced him to death.[citation needed]
" | I always believed in National Socialism but never in Hitler. | " |
– Quote attributed to Canaris |
Together with his deputy General Hans Oster, military jurist General Karl Sack, theologian Rev. Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Ludwig Gehre, Canaris was humiliated before witnesses and then executed on 9 April 1945, in the Flossenbürg concentration camp, just weeks before the end of the war. He was led to the gallows naked. The night before his execution, in a coded message tapped out on the wall of his cell and heard by another prisoner, Canaris denied he was a traitor and said he acted out of duty to his country.[19]
Erwin von Lahousen and Hans Bernd Gisevius, two of Canaris' main subordinates, survived the war and testified during the Nuremberg Trials about Canaris' courage in opposing Hitler. Lahousen recalled a conversation between Canaris and General Wilhelm Keitel in which Canaris warned Keitel that the German military would be held responsible for the atrocities in Poland. Keitel responded that they had been ordered by Hitler.[citation needed] Keitel, who also survived the war, was found guilty of war crimes at Nuremberg and hanged.[citation needed]
During his military career, Canaris had been decorated with the Iron Cross First and Second Class, the Silver German Cross, the Cross of Honour and the Wehrmacht Twelve and Twenty-Five Year Long-Service Ribbons:
His name was of Italian origin, as was later shown in an elaborate family tree
Franco's position at Hendaye was totally influenced by Canaris
Churchill ... had ordered 10 million dollars to be deposited ... to 'persuade them of the sweets of neutrality'
Hitler, about to be betrayed by nearly all his generals, was facing a well-thought-out coup d'etat

The literature on the corporate diversification discount and the relative efficiency of internal versus external capital markets provides mixed results. We argue that transaction-cost economics is useful in understanding this puzzle. According to transaction-cost economics, diversified firms should outperform single segment firms in industries with higher external transaction costs (e.g., emergent industries) and under-perform in industries with low external transaction costs and high agency and other internal costs (e.g., some mature industries). This paper provides evidence supporting these contentions.

'Saluti' from Villa Ivrea, an elegant taste of Italy, where the enchanting warm waters of the Caribbean Sea meet the crisp waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the dancing lights of Martinique greet you from the veranda.
Olmedo and Lisa, from Houston, Texas
Florence Apartment purchased this villa in 2009
When our friend told us that she had chosen Saint Lucia as the ideal place to build her retirement home, after a nearly four-year search throughout the Caribbean, we had to come and see it for ourselves. From the very first moment we were captivated by the beauty, cleanliness and tranquility of the island, but what won our hearts were the people and their special attitude towards foreigners, unlike anything else we had seen during our multiple trips to other islands in the Caribbean. It was then that we decided to purchase a piece of land, build our dream home and make this emerald paradise a part of our lives. We believe Saint Lucia is gorgeous, but do not take our word for it: come and see for yourselves. You may not end up buying land and deciding to stay, but you will certainly get hooked on it forever.
Built in 2009, Villa Ivrea is only five minutes away from the St. Lucia Golf & Country Club and its fantastic 18-hole course, set within the scenic rolling hills of Cap Estate. It is eight minutes away from the elegant LeSport Spa & Beach Club and their fabulous rejuvenating one-day spa treatments. You can also enjoy seasonal whale watching, right from the comfort of the panoramic deck adjacent to your room. Or simply relax and witness our unforgettable Caribbean sunsets.
Lovely view of Martinique, especially at night. Very relaxing and with all the comforts. Wish we could have stayed longer.
We had a great time with our friends at the villa. The views are unbelievable. From the time we walked into the villa we could not believe the water view. After we finished a few days of sight seeing, we relaxed poolside for a couple of days. Bertha is very efficient and made breakfast for us every morning except the morning we left early to climb the Gros Piton. The interior of the villa is lovely. Kitchen has everything you need, modern, clean very nice. The villa is nicer than what you see in the photos. Bedrooms and bathrooms modern and clean.
We have just returned from St Lucia having had a fantastic 2 week's holiday staying at Villa Ivrea. The villa and views are magnificent, much better than the photographs. The bedrooms are all individually decorated, beautiful. We all enjoyed relaxing the on the terrace, watching the yachts sailing to Martinque and not forgetting the afternoon we watched whales playing out at sea, amazing!!! There were 8 of us family and friends (all over 50's), staying at Villa Ivrea, 6 in the main villa and 2 staying in the cottage which they said was exceptional. We enjoyed our very early morning coffee, watched the sun rise and the hummingbird collecting nectar. We visited the rum distillery, pigeon island, the aerial cable car over the rain forest, Marigot Bay, Hotel Chocolat for a delicious lunch plus touring around the island. We were always very happy to return to Villa Ivrea, relax and watch the beautiful sunsets. The villa was perfect and made for an idyllic holiday, just what the doctor ordered. Just one small thing we could not use the oven in the main villa (waiting for a replacement part), so we had to use the oven in the cottage, big thanks to our friends! Big thank you to Claudette for your help getting another hire car after the problems we had with the pre-booked car hire at the airport. Yes we would love to return to Villa Ivrea for another fantastic 2 weeks holiday.
Our stay at Villa Ivrea was amazing to say the least! We were a party of 4 adults and 3 teenagers. After a long day of traveling it was great to walk into the villa and be met by a refreshing breeze and breath taking views. We were told that on a rare day we would be able to see Martinique thru the haze- we had clear views every day! While the island itself was a ton of fun- I think the best part was walking up from a great nite sleep (the beds are beyond comfortable) and sitting by the pool with a cup of coffee and a great book. It was relaxing and restful. We enjoyed being so close to attractions but also being in our own space- and we were able to go for walks everyday right around the villa. We had on small snafu with the oven and stove top but it was handled immediately without issue. The accommodations met and exceeded expectations and we would definitely stay again. We found a car rental very useful and would recommend it highly- the driving is not a big deal at all!
We planned this Special Family Vacation for one year! We took our 3 Adult children a son in law and a daughter in law! Seven in all! Space for all! We can't say enough about this Villa! Pictures do not lie!!!!!! We often pinched ourselves to be sure we were in this Fabulous Property! Lisa! Bertha! Claudette! Thank you for our MOST MEMORABLE VACATION! Irene & Gene
Our group was comprised of 50-60 year olds who had the time of our life. Never thought we would have such a wonderful time on the island and especially at Villa Ivrea. We had drinks watching the sun go down nearly every evening. Then we got the thrill of seeing the car lights from Martinique on most nights. The villa itself had everything you would need. Each bedroom was lovely. Remember to enjoy the balcony on the bedroom level. We did not think about watching the sun go down from there until our last evening. So many good restaurants in the area and plenty of grocery stores. Claudette, the property manager, will help you with your every need-professional and very nice.
This villa is truly a dream house, located in a heavenly spot. It is an architectural masterpiece, built with first-class materials throughout, beautifully furnished and very tastefully appointed. Our family (2 adults, 3 children ages 14, 18 & 20) enjoyed every minute on this beautiful island, filled with majestic mountains, breathtaking views and one picturesque harbor after another. Throw in a rain forest, volcano, mud baths, horseback riding in the mountains, on the beaches and in the ocean (you read that last part right) and wonderful locals and it doesn't get any better than this. This is living in the lap of luxury on the jewel of the Caribbean. And as an added bonus, the owners are extremely pleasant, informative, helpful and responsive. Do yourself a well-deserved favor and go there. You've earned it.
Villa Ivrea is located at the northern tip of Cap Estate and boasts breathtaking views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Designed by the American architect Dan F. Sater II, it offers all the amenities required by discerning travelers, beginning with luxuriously appointed bedrooms and social areas, together with outdoor features like infinity pool, panoramic verandas, pergola and terraced gardens. All four bedrooms in the Main House enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea or both. In addition to the Main House, Villa Ivrea offers a fully independent, one-bedroom Cottage that includes a full kitchen, central air conditioning and a veranda with a splash pool. It enjoys expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean and it is surrounded by an English lawn and a citrus orchard. This newly-built estate is only five minutes away from the St. Lucia Golf & Country Club and its fantastic 18-hole course, set within the scenic rolling hills of Cap Estate.
Other Activities: About 45 minutes by car, going towards Soufriere, you will find the Tet Paul Nature Trail, which is nestled on six acres of lush, verdant land in the farming community of Chateau Belair. The trail is located in the Piton Management Area, Saint Lucia's World Heritage Site. Hiking the trail is like soaring heavenward on a beautiful, natural staircase. The hike is rated easy to moderate and is roughly 45 minutes long. The trail boasts some of the most spectacular views of the South of the island, the Jalousie Bay, Petit Piton and Gros Piton as well as Martinique and St. Vincent on clear days.
Golf: The Saint Lucia Golf & Country Club (18 holes), located inside Cap Estate, is only 4 minutes away by car. Their rate for a round of golf (including the cart) is US$145 during High Season and players can tee off as early as 6h45. If you would like to know more about a preferred pricing agreement, please give us the exact dates you have in mind, as well as the number of people in your party. Unfortunately, the Jack Nicklaus signature golf course next to Villa Ivrea will not be finished before Fall 2012, but we are sure that once you see it you will want to come back as soon as they open.
A great alternative is the La Toc golf course (9 holes), located 30 minutes south from Villa Ivrea. La Toc is the oldest golf course on the island. It is rather hilly, but the expansive views of the Castries Harbor and the Caribbean Sea make it really worth the trip. Their rate is US$60/round and they have no carts.

SodaStream CEO, Daniel Birnbaum, Issues Statement Regarding Coca-Cola's Threatened Lawsuit
AIRPORT CITY, Israel, June 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SodaStream International, Ltd. (NASDAQ:SODA) today announced that its CEO, Daniel Birnbaum, had the following to say in regards to Coca-Cola's threatened lawsuit:
Further to recent reports of the cease and desist order issued to us by Coca-Cola in response to our Cage Exhibit in South Africa, we stand firm in our intention not to comply. We have more than 30 such exhibits around the world, which contain bottles, and cans collected from local garbage dumps and they serve to communicate a loud and clear message about waste generated by packaged beverages. If Coca-Cola claims to still own these bottles, then they should clean up their own garbage. Approximately 1 billion bottles and cans end up in our parks, rivers, oceans and garbage dumps every day worldwide---almost 400 million in America alone. Coke will not silence us with threatening letters.
We will be exhibiting the Cage in Atlanta's Centennial Park today and tomorrow ( Friday June 22nd, Saturday June 23rd) to show the citizens of Atlanta what the Coca-Cola executives do not want them, or the world, to see.

Easton EA70 Offset Seatpost 350mm 2014
The EA70 is Easton's top of the line aluminum seatpost plus 20 millimeters of offset. Durability is increased by Easton's famed TaperWall tubing. Features a forged two-bolt integrated head. The EA70 is available in three diameters and works with most 7x9 millimeter saddle rails. This post is a great fit for any rider.
Why didnt I choose the EC70? Its because its just 38 grams lighter than the EA70. 30 grams for about $50 difference? Its just not worth it. This aluminum is the top of the line for Easton in their aluminum line. Its durable and incredibly light. Its well engineered and knowing that its an Easton gives you a peace of mind that your seatpost will keep up with you no matter how you shed the trail. Plus it looks good too.

Matic forced to end Boro trial
10 Dec 2008 - 14:24:05
Middlesbrough have been left frustrated by midfielder's Nemanja Matic's trial at the Riverside being cut short by an international call-up.
The 20-year-old, who plays in Slovakia with MFK Kosice, has been called up for Serbia's friendly with Poland this weekend, meaning that he has had to leave Boro ahead of time.
Assistant manager Malcolm Crosby told the Evening Gazette: "Good luck to the boy on his call-up, but it makes things difficult for us.
"He looks a good footballer, but he was only here for two days and it's very hard to make a judgement after such a short time.
"We've seen him in his league and he looks very good there, but with respect it's not the best of leagues and we needed to see how he shapes up against Premier League players.
"We've got time to think about it, but it could be at the end of the day that we have bigger priorities elsewhere next month."
