Ah, but if you have no expectations, You can never have a disappointment.
I do not hope for what I cannot have! I do not cling to things I cannot keep!
No one has ever known me as clearly as you. No one has ever shown me that love allows everything. Not pretty or safe or easy but something I never knew. Love within reason, that isn't love and I learned that from you.
I'm before him on my knees, and he kisses me He assumes I lose my reason and I do. Men are stupid, men are vain, Love's disgusting, love's insane, A humiliating business-oh how true.

most bigots are convinced
their opinions are facts.
Yep, and you need to look in the mirror Frank
a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group with hatred and intolerance
downvotes represent hate for
Frank's downvotes represent hate from others, not of Frank.
Why was this thread created?
Answer wise marhlfld? What was the point of this thread and who was being attacked?
yes,so true
hence your own comments to all on this topic
just stick you head back in the sand,or was it ever taken out
But,what i posted are not opinions,these are facts,and it does show
your immaturity to not even see it for yourself
read,look and see for yourself,or die being ignorant
this is your choice,and i could care less what you do
the catholic church handed out get out of sin cards,these were to be used
by the congregation,you see,they could sin,place in the offering plate,and get a free sin out of the deal FACT
FACT,the catholic churches and the muslims use the same design,the crescent moon,and the star.....why???
the church was found molesting children...fact....what the church did,move the leaders to other churches where they weren't know,they were not prosecuted
they were not thrown out of the church,or anything that resembled a biblical response....WHY??
the catholic church took whole books and chapters out of the bible...fact why??
and you call everyone with questions bigots???? you are the bigot,and you hide it all behind a false tainted bible and your religion
Leave an indelible mark on all of those that you meet.
OH... have fun day :)
Are you sincerely asking? If so
Early in Mass we confess: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confiteor
So, a "getting" off the sin hook... maybe it helped some people mentally who had cpommittee great sins and had mental breakdowns and no meds? We are all sinners.
"I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God."
Cresent Moom and star are for Mary, the Mother of God, the only human free of sin, which is taken from scripture http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/dictionary/in...
As for the shamfull child abuse: "By 2009, U.S. dioceses have paid more than US$2.6 billion in abuse-related costs since 1950.[103][104]"
personally, I think the Church was infiltraited to be taken down http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_sex_abuse_cases wiki tells the gloabl story.. and just because of there churchs or temples are not mentioned.. doesn't mean child abuse never happened or is not happening.
Catholic Church offers 73 books (more than anyone else) and chapters and books are reserved for scholars, could be a number of reasons.. here is where faith plays a role..
yes,seriously :)
if all fall short of the grace of God (all)
then mary is not free from sin,she was afterall born of man.just as jesus was
the crescent moon and star is pagan worship,and how nice to be attributed to mary (your words come right out of the catholic bible(which was created by man) but was it inspired by god?
yes true,the church paid out for child abuse,the same thing can be said of all lending institutions(they get a slap on the wrist,but go right back to doing it
In the case of the catholic church,it never ended
don't take this the wrong way,I have only talked (here) about the catholic church,but as I have stated in the past,most major religions spawned from that group
so,in my eyes,it stands to reason,that all lack in knowledge,and all fall short of what gods intent and purpose was
I have for the most part been a part of 4 major religions in 40 plus yrs,what i can say,is this,one group doesn't like the other over their doctrines
one groups believes a fib is different than a lie.
most groups will have to do with the other groups
and some will not intermarry.,meaning they were raised in this group,and will not marry another from another group
all this.for me is very telling of the hearts of man
and i do not lie it one bit,it falls short of the message of love shoot,granger,i have had people from church tell me"we need to go kill brown ppl,as it is gods will,and it keeps us free"
when i question as to where it states that,i get that ole evil eye
hey,thanks for them links :)

I have a vid for you to watch
No Deacon, you are a bigot.
We could debate all night your opinions, your generalities. We could compare the scandals found in all the Christian faiths. We could discuss how most of these scandals unfold because humans are imperfect and often twist doctrine to fancy their vices. We could spend years discussing all the good things Catholics have done. We could discuss how they preserved the Christian faith for thousands of years and how this would not have been possible without a powerful Institution, BUT, I have a feeling you think you know it all and aren't really interested in the big picture. You have found your little specks of imperfection and you take comfort fixating on them.
you SIR
will not,nor do you want to learn
you refuse to see things the way they are
you refuse to see how or why books and chapters were taken out
and by the catholics
refuse to see how it was set up with all below them and we are called sub human you refuse to see how or why constantine told the practicing christians,"they will not celebrate the feasts or ceremonies of the lord
you refuse to see why constantine bowed to the morning sun,and worshiped it
you refuse to see how easter ( a pagan holiday of child sacrifice entered into the church)
you also refuse to see how christmas entered into the church,and how this is also
an abomination(as this too,is paganism)
you refuse the inquisitions for what they were and are,which was a purging of real christians and the real message
you refuse to see what the pope carries which is a penis 9staff) right out of babylon
you also won't see the fish garb he wears (which is the worship of fish)
also out of babylon
man cannot make things holy,but the church thinks and acts as if it can
and to this day...does
so..keep calling everyone a bigot,you will die ignorant and without knowledge,just as predicted
oh,and I see you couldn't answer any of my questions,does it create confusion for you,or too difficult?
Leave an indelible mark on all of those that you meet.
OH... have fun day :)
Yes, yes, holy deacon.
I get it. Catholics are bad, you and your interpretation of the bible is good/right. I suggest you look up the definition of bigot. This thread is sad proof of how bigots are oblivious to their bigotry. Remember when racists paraded out scientific papers to justify their cruel treatment of black people? Did they think they were acting like bigots? Of course not, they had "facts" on their side. Time to wake up deacon. Jesus is not smiling down on you and your behavior.
foolish child
someone below suggested the same to you about the word bigot
this describes you,to a t
most here,so far put truth to print,and all you came back with
bigotry and name calling....nice jesus way of dealing with people,now isn't it?
and no he isn't smiling,as you irritated him so badly,you are ignorant
of the bible,you are ignorant of religion
and you will die that way,as you will not learn anything of value
look into what i typed,but I bet you haven;t the balls to do so
you are a weak excuse for a being,and you are trying to projecting this inadequacy onto others
your hope is the church,not what the savior says
you defend all the lies tooth and nail,but do not,and actively turn a blind eye to any and all truth
there is no truth to do be found in you,you are a dead husk,chaff and fodder
Leave an indelible mark on all of those that you meet.
OH... have fun day :)
Once again, Deacon good, Catholics bad.
Oh, I get it Deacon. Loud and clear.
Christians are already persecuted, you just dont realize it
Evil does not attack those it doesn't consider a threat!
The same way people will agree with you and are nice, but when you bring up like 9/11 they flip out and close their ears, the majority of "Christians" will agree with you, until you bring up the fact they don't live like Christ and they flip out and close their ears.
The majority of so called Christians today are "not persecuted" because they are NOT CHRISTIAN! They hide under the guise of Christianity to make themselves feel better, they go to church every week, get a spiritual buzz, but then ignore the majority of things Christians are supposed to be doing, including being involved with politics, informing and protecting innocents of danger, and once church is over, they go back to making sure their life is uninformed, dull and everyday the same.
Christ even said himself:
Matthew 13:10
And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
15For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
These people traveled far to hear and see Christ, but Christ knew, they were the people that "go along with the crowd," and salvation is not granted to those who tag along without understanding.
As a born and raised
As a born and raised Christian, I gotta say, it does seem that it's CHRISTIANS that are most supportive of imperialistic and aggressive war and lawlessness on the part of the State. The State seems to be their god now. So who's doing the persecuting? I really don't know
The Scofield Bible Was Indisputably Used As A Cause For War
In fact, the Scofield Bible became the cornerstone for the Christian Zionist war monger movement (representing a large portion of neocon voters). To this end, the following short documentary needs to be shared with every church pastor possible:

Christians Need Not Be Persecuted in End Times
I don't know about you, but I personally would not like to see any of my Christian friends persecuted in end times. However, I do know it is not necessary for Christians to be persecuted in end times, and no, I am not talking about the rapture, which I have found to be thoroughly debunked on the Internet (try Google-ing "rapture debunked").
I do however believe this to be a case where the truth really can set you (and all your Christian friends) free. This truth is explained with crystal clear clarity in the following post (specifically within the greater mid-section of the post):

Theories and philosophies
Theories and philosophies abound everywhere, but are they based on Truth or sand?
First of all, what is a Christian? A Christian is a person who has received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and is born anew into a life of fidelity to the commandments outlined in the Bible. (Eph. 1:22, 5:23; Colos. 1:18, 2:9-10, 2:16-19)
Secondly, what does Bible Prophecy say about Christians suffering in the end times? Read Mathew chapter 24, and you will get your answer:
Math 24:9-12
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
If you look at the 7 Seals in Revelations chapter 6, here is the sequence:
Seal 1: White Horse - Conquest of False Christian Theology (325 A.D.)
Seal 2: Red Horse - Conquest by the sword (538 A.D. - 1798 A.D.)
Seal 3: Black Horse - Conquest through control of laws, money (fiat currency and not real money), commerce, banking, food production, resources (1798 - Present)
Seal 4: Yellow Horse mounted by Death - Mass killing of the fourth part of the inhabitants of the earth because they fail to receive Digital Currency with a forced RFID chip implanted in the right hand or forehead. (UN will spearhead this as the image of the Holy Roman Empire) Rev. 20:4
Seal 5: White-robed martyrs are asking Jesus to execute judgement on the earth because they were decapitated, but Jesus states to wait until the complete number of martyrs is fulfilled
Seal 6: Jesus comes to gather his people (the first resurrection) and to punish all kings, princes, great merchants of the earth and all of the powerful who have denied His Justice and Truth.
Seal 7: The 7 Angels with the 7 Trumpets are prepared with the vials of wrath to be poured on the people who received the Mark of the Beast
For everyone who takes God's Word seriously, where in the Bible does it say that His people won't be persecuted?
I warn all of the people who put "Peace" before Truth, Justice and Obedience to God's Word:
1 Thes. 5:1-3
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
If people want to talk about what will happen to Christians in the end times, please make sure what you state is backed up by Scripture, so we can verify your theory. Whoever is in the habit of believing interpretations, and doesn't verify for himself, is not serious about their own Salvation.
If someone is interested in having Bible study discussions about Daniel and Revelations, please feel free to reach out.
With Love to All,
Please, Catholic DailyPaul members
notice how some of your comrades in Liberty here on the DP freely post that the Catholic church is a cult and run by Satan. They also believe the Vatican is helping build the NWO. Do you REALLY think these individuals want to secure your freedom? Think. What do they really want out of the "Liberty" Movement? How many Catholics do we have on the DailyPaul claiming other DP members belong to cults and their religious leadership is run by Satan? These individuals are bigots and clearly have the run of the place.
Less whining, more research please.
Have you ever considered that there is a reason why we have a problem with the Roman Church? You may want to crack open a history book on what sort of treatment the Roman Clergy endorsed in dealing with people like John Wycliffe for the unspeakable crime of translating the scriptures into the vernacular language of his nation (English), or what they did to Jan Hus for encouraging people to resist lawless, Pharisee-like priests as instructed in the New Testament.
Leaving the Protestant Reformation out of the equation, you might also want to consider the treatment that the Nuns at the Convent of Port Royal went through at the hands of the Jesuits, or better yet, how they excommunicated Pasquier Quesnel (a French priest, theologian and staunch supporter of Roman Catholicism) for, among another 100 ridiculous reasons, the horrid suggestion that women be allowed to read the scriptures.
Look up the Bull Unigenitus with regard to Quesnel, and also check Wikipedia or even the New Advent website (a pro-Roman website) for historical accounts of Jan Hus and John Wycliffe being burned at the stake, as well as the entire Convent of Port Royal being burned to the ground and all of its nuns imprisoned for touting a pure Augustinian doctrine (St. Augustine of Hippo is a Roman Catholic Saint and the Doctor of Grace).
With all due respect FrankOff and anyone else who would lecture me about how I need to bend the knee to the Vatican in order to be a proponent of Liberty, to hell with the Pope, the Jesuits and anyone else who would compel me to wrongly understand The Word and to aid Romanist hucksters in fleecing the masses to replenish the coffers at the Vatican Bank.
"My attitude toward progress has passed from antagonism to boredom. I have long ceased to argue with people who prefer Thursday to Wednesday because it is Thursday." - G.K. Chesterton

Thank you, I wish I could be as eloquent and precise. Once I did all the research, I knew I would never enter another man made religion church building. I'm independent and non-denominational. I am FREE!
There certainly has been a
There certainly has been a run on Roman Catholicism. If one can ignore the various sects and their dogma...The Christian message is worthy...but we are killing off the messengers. Somehow it makes sense to me. The Christian soul is an ingrained thing that doesn't disappear because politics would have it so.
3 things that might help you understant things.
1) Search out information about the Inquisition.
2) Search out information about the Reformation.
3) Search out why the Jesuits had been run out of many (78? Catholic countries).
You can't speak about liberty and call people bigots until you have read and understand the history that gave you the demimishing freedom you enjoy today.
If you aren't standing up for the truth, you Sir, are the bigot.
PS. I was raised in a Catholic home and have nothing against my Catholic neighbors. They are waking up.
You are bigots. Period
Most bigots are convinced their opinions are facts. They think this magically allows them to spew bigotry and not be bigots. The catholic institution is very old and has grown up through our humanity. Yes, there have been mistakes and massive corruption. The institution, like a person, is maturing and evolving. If you viewed humanity by its past performance, you could also suggest "humanity" is evil and not worth saving. You are bigots and the sooner you realize this, the sooner you have the chance to grow/evolve.

here is an tidbit the letter C
From ancient Greek κανών (kanón) meaning "measuring rod, standard for carpentry/building". Hence, a literal translation from ancient Greek is as the "carpenter's standard"--an obvious association to the false claim of Jesus being a carpenter as first created by the ROMAN CULT into CATHOLIC CHURCH liturgy from the 12th Century onwards. The word pre-dates its use in ancient Greek back to Hebrew קנה (qaneh) = "reed" and Akkadian qanū = "reed". In common legal usage, a "canon" represents a law of the CATHOLIC CHURCH.

High Vatican Knights Run the NWO - Video by Alan Lamont
My Subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/RomeRules/
The prince of this world.
The commentator in the first video seems surprised that the Pope identifies the "prince of this world" as the enemy of God.
Most Christians believe that the prince of this world is satan, the devil. But how does satan work? Through the natural minds of men and their institutions, especially religious and governing institutions.
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. (Ephesians 2:1)
because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so. (Romans 8:7)
We see from this that minds of unregenerate men work in concert with the prince of this world system. The enemy of God in this world system is unregenerate mankind. This is why it is written that:
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. (1 John 5:19)
Those who are disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ seek to overcome the works of the devil within themselves by the Spirit of the Son in them, just as the firstborn Son overcame him.
I (Jesus) will not speak with you much longer, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me, (John 14:30)
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens. (Ephesians 6:12)
This does not mean that the enemy of God is in control of everything. There is a time for every purpose under heaven and nothing in Heaven or Earth happens apart from the Plan and purposes of God.
The Lord owns the earth and all it contains, the world and all who live in it. (Psalm 24:1)
Aren't five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. In fact, even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are more valuable than many sparrows. (Luke 12:6-7)
There will never be a time when the plans of men will ever fully succeed. Just as the Tower of Babel came to nothing so the present plans of men seeking world dominion will fail. The only world government that will be established forever and ever is the Kingdom of God.
"In the days of those kings the God of heaven will raise up an everlasting kingdom that will not be destroyed and a kingdom that will not be left to another people. It will break in pieces and bring about the demise of all these kingdoms. But it will stand forever. You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable."" (Daniel 2:44-45)
The days of the empires of men are drawing to a close. There will be no realisation of their dreams of world domination. Their kingdoms are already falling. The Kingdom of God is at the very door. The Pope is mistaken as are all the evangelical churches waiting for an "Antichrist" and a rapture. Look up for your redemption draws nigh.
"Jesus answered them: 'Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.'" (John 8:34-36)
Well stated David
That was very thorough and very acurate!

Can I move this camelia?
The previous owners of our home planted a camelia japonica approximately 5 feet from a large, mature magnolia tree. It is clearly out of place and needs to be moved. The camelia is approximately 4 feet high but is approx. 3-4 inches in diameter.
I'm concerned about root damage. I don't think I can use a spade for fear of damaging the roots of the magnolia. However, if I dig it by hand, I might still damage the magnolia tree roots, and I will definitely damage the camelia roots.
Do you think I can pull this off, or is the camelia a lost cause, and should I just whack it off and call in a stump grinder?
It sounds worth saving, and small enough to move without much damage to either plant. However, now is not the time to dig it up, as the plant is beginning its spring growth. Instead try late next autumn after it goes dormant. Then keep as much of the root ball intact. The magnolia will be okay, they are tough as nails.
In the meantime, for insurance purposes, now would be the perfect time to make some airlayers of the limbs in case the plant doesn't survive the move. Then you will still have some smaller babies to plant elsewhere no matter what happens. It is fun too.
A couple montht ago DH and I moved an 8 foot, 20+ year old one to the backyard, and it is doing great. I don't think it will bloom this year, though. We dug it out by hand so we would not bother roots around it.
About 3 years ago, we cut it all the way down to a stump, and it grew right back!!

This is the first installment of a 3-part series that explores how intelligence improves IAM. In part 1 we'll look at how intelligence improves the provisioning portion of IAM, including the access request and the approval process, which helps to ensure that the right people have the right access to the right resources.
Before we dive in, let's look back at an excerpt from a previous blog about what makes intelligent IAM intelligent and refresh our memories about why IAM needs to be intelligent.
Fundamentally, IAM is a resource allocation process that operates on the simple principle that people should only have access to the resources they need in order to do their job. Therein lies one of the problems; without intelligence, IAM operations are inconsistent and can be easily corrupted; resulting in decreased efficiency of workers, increased risk to the corporation (more on that later) or both.
A non-intelligent IAM provisioning process is typically inconsistent and often results in the overprovisioning of access because the downside of insufficient access is frustration and inefficiency while the downside of too much access tends to be invisible – until something happens. The contributing factors that lead to such inconsistency and overprovisioning include a rigidly structured provisioning process combined with unguided human judgment that devolves into rubber-stamp approvals. The solution to this problem is to enhance the provisioning process with intelligence, which guides the human decision-making and provides a feedback loop that helps the provisioning process adapt to evolving business operations.
A non-intelligent provisioning process often starts with an unstructured shopping expedition that enables a user to see and request access to almost any business resource. The access request is then routed through an approval process and ultimately scheduled for fulfillment. Such a process relies on users to find and request access to appropriate resources coupled with a reliance upon approvers to catch any anomalies, such as requests that provide the recipient with access to a resource that they don't need to do their job. If the goal is to ensure that the right people have the right access to the right resources, how well do you think a non-intelligent provisioning process satisfies that goal?
By contrast, intelligence improves all aspects of the provisioning process. Envision an access catalog organized into groupings that provide access to something meaningful to the business, such as a user account on a server, read & write privileges to a file share or even all the access needed to function as an Executive Assistant or a Marketing Analyst. IAM intelligence is derived from the breadth and depth of the IAM data that is collected and processed into useful information. Starting with the access request, intelligence can guide the user toward appropriate resources while warning them about or even preventing them from seeing inappropriate resources. Utilizing a user's job code or department coupled with knowledge about the user's peer group and their collective access, an intelligent access request process can suggest, for example, that a user with the job title Marketing Analyst needs access to the marketing printer, the marketing file share as well as accounts on specific servers. While the user may still be able to request access to other resources, the user is not left unguided to try and determine which resources are appropriate. An intelligent access request process can be compared with a visit to Amazon.com, where suggestions are made based upon knowledge about the user as well as knowledge about similar users (e.g., those in the same department or those who have the same job code). Consequently, an intelligent access request process is far more capable of satisfying the goal of ensuring that the right people have the right access to the right resources.
While users may be better positioned to request access to appropriate resources, they may still be able to request access to other resources. However, an intelligent approval process helps ensure that such access requests are also approved or denied in accordance with business policies. While a non-intelligent approval process typically follows a prescribed approval sequence, an intelligent approval process can auto-approve certain requests (e.g., access that was suggested during the access request process) while requiring a more robust approval sequence for other requests. Applying intelligence to the approval process enables the approval sequence to adapt to each individual access request based upon the anomalous nature of each request. As an example, a user in the marketing department requesting access to the sales server will require more approvals than that same user's request for access to the marketing server and fewer approvals than that same user's request for access to the finance server.
An intelligent provisioning process adapts to evolving business operations by utilizing knowledge about the user, the user's peer group and their access, the sensitivity of corporate resources and the associated risk should those resources be compromised. All of this information is combined with the knowledge of who has access to which resources and how those resources are being used, which determines how the overall business risk is trending. The end result is an intelligent provisioning process that is well-suited to meet the overarching business goal of ensuring that the right people have the right access to the right resources.
In my next installment of this 3-part series, we'll focus on how intelligence improves the governance process.
In response to the now near daily revelations of data breaches, 'security monitoring' and 'security analytics' have been getting plenty of air time in the social networks and in the media. In the minds of most, security analytics is all about malware detection, event log analysis and event management.
While those security measures are all needed and necessary, I think one crucial security analytics resource is missing from the equation: identity analytics and intelligence, or IAI.
Many of the recent data breach attacks show similar patterns. They often start with a phishing attempt after the attacker has researched the subject on personal, professional and social media sites. The cyber criminal then uses this information to create a phishing attack based on what they've learned, often a sophisticated email to a contact that appears to come from the subject.
This email often includes a link or file that once clicked launches some form of malware or command-and-control technology used to take over the victim's system to then crawl the network for more valuable user targets and information. The attacker moves within the network to identify high value target resources, further exploiting vulnerabilities as needed to gain access to those resources. The cyber criminal then packages up the valuable data and exfiltrates or removes it. This process can take days or weeks, as needed, because cyber criminals typically go unnoticed until they are long gone.
Security analytics has focused heavily on identifying malware or viruses to address the initial compromise stage, when the cybercriminal is first establishing a foothold on the target user's computer. Security information and event management (SIEM) solutions and deep packet inspection solutions focus on the later stages of a cyber attack when data is being packaged up and exfiltrated.
But none of these solutions focuses on the crucial middle stages where the attacker is gaining undetected access to the rest of the company's IT infrastructure, using exploits and password cracking to acquire administrator privileges, and moving laterally to expand control to other computers and servers.
This is precisely where identity analytics and intelligence and continuous monitoring come in.
The 2014 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) showed that two out of three breaches involved attackers using stolen or misused credentials. As Jay Jacobs, a co-author of the report said in an interview with Dark Reading, "Trying to get valid credentials is part of many styles of attacks and patterns. To go in with an authenticated credential opens a lot more avenues, obviously. You don't have to compromise every machine. You just log in."
Therefore, we need improved IAM controls and continuous monitoring to understand what is really happening with users and their access, but the challenge is, traditional identity and access management has been event driven (hire, fire, relocate) or audit driven (periodic review, once or twice a year). This is simply not adequate for detecting the kind of changes to access that may indicate a cybercriminal is on the prowl.
Identity analytics and intelligence enables you to continuous monitor users and their access and clearly see when a user's activity departs from the norm, when a user's access is elevated to gain privileged access, when a user has more access than is warranted given his or her responsibilities, or other suspicious access activity.
Also, Identity analytics and intelligence enables you to look at a particular user's access behavior in the context of other factors, such as whether that access behavior is typical of a user in that role, that job title, or that geographic location. These are the kind of details that enable you to better understand whether it is the user, or the account being manipulated by a nefarious player.
Today's definition of security analytics needs to include identity analytics and intelligence. The bad guys use every tool at their disposal, shouldn't you?
Gartner, a leading information technology research and advisory firm, issued the 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) on January 12th.
Courion was recognized as a leader by Gartner for a remarkable 10th time.
Perhaps that recognition has something to do with the fact that the Access Assurance Suite™ performs superbly across a wide range of use case scenarios. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that organizations that use Courion solutions are highly satisfied and give our support high marks, or that our customers would recommend the Access Assurance Suite to others.
Regardless of the factors that played a role in the analyst alchemy that resulted in Courion being recognized as a leader this year, and a total of 10 times since 2007, we are grateful.
It is external affirmation of our commitment to excellence in provisioning, governance and identity analytics solutions that have made our customers successful. And we can help you be successful, too.
Most organizations have to demonstrate that they are compliant in an increasingly regulatory landscape. An important objective of compliance efforts is to ensure that the right people have appropriate access, particularly to high-risk applications and sensitive data such as cardholder information and personal health information. To satisfy these regulatory requirements, organizations conduct periodic reviews, typically every six months or a year, in which managers and other authorized personnel periodically review users' access and attest to whether those access rights are correct.
Based on media accounts, the number of security breaches per year is increasing dramatically. In many of these breaches, it has become apparent that the breached organizations were unaware that a security breach occurred. So why is this the case? Why are organizations more susceptible to breaches, even after performing periodic certification reviews and essentially passing audits?
The reason is the significant surge in the volume, variety and velocity of information. The Big Data storm has made it extremely challenging, if not impossible, for organizations to enforce high security standards while also achieving a high level of productivity. Much can change with users, their roles and responsibilities, their access rights and the resources they access in the time in-between periodic access reviews.
Hence, even though users' access information is presented to reviewers, there is typically no context around that information. Reviewers do not quite know how or why or when users obtained the access. In fact, a recent survey conducted by Courion found 43 percent of IT Security executives agreeing with the statement that their organization is unaware of when access privileges are increased or when access behavior departs from the norm. In addition, the volume of data that is presented is considerable, if not overwhelming. These reasons invariably drive reviewers to rubber stamp. Clearly, this is not an effective tactic to truly mitigate organizational risk.
What organizations need is a continuous and comprehensive approach to identify access risks and employ preventative controls to mitigate those risks. The Courion Access Assurance Suite provides organizations with the ability to automatically revoke inappropriate access and/or perform risk-based certifications reviews when a policy violation occurs or when a threat is detected.
Risk-based certification reviews provide complete context around the information being reviewed, thereby enabling managers to make more educated and informed decisions on whether a user's access is appropriate or not. By performing these narrowly focused risk-based certification reviews on a continuous basis, organizations can not only satisfy audit requirements, but also mitigate potential risks in a more intelligent and efficient manner.
At last week's Gartner IAM Summit in Las Vegas, it was fascinating to see how the conference has grown. Over 1,200 attendees made this the largest Gartner IAM event to date, which says there is a huge amount of interest in identity and access management. Many were there to understand the basics, but there was plenty for IAM professionals looking to strategize for the future and who are seeking to maximize their IAM investment.
The highlights for Courion were two presentations that attracted close to 200 attendees. One was a case study featuring our own Kurt Johnson and Mark Teehan, an IAM Program Manager from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
In the presentation Mark described how his organization, a health benefits company that serves more than 1.2 million members, expanded its IAM program to reduce access risk across the organization by constantly monitoring and analyzing data generated by its IAM systems. The company has moved beyond provisioning and certification by implementing tools and processes to proactively identify and remediate the access issues that lead to business risk. For example, the organization has reduced orphaned and abandoned accounts and established a management process for system and non-human accounts, and has reduced accounts with privileged capabilities and those with unnecessary access. The session really resonated with attendees, judging by the number of questions and post-session conversations that occurred.
I held a lunch session that described how to assess risk before an IAM implementation. I reviewed how an Identity and Access Intelligence solution can help diagnose access risk in any organization and how an organization can take the findings from that diagnosis to formulate an actionable remediation plan. I spoke with a number of attendees who are working on the basics of IAM but who can clearly see the value of being more proactive. These attendees confirmed their desire to eventually deploy a continuous monitoring solution to address access risk.
For conference attendees who missed either session, or anyone who is interested in the topic, I highly recommend tuning into our upcoming webinar:
Tim Callahan, CISO of Aflac, and Kurt Johnson, VP of Strategy for Courion will present, Keep a Constant Vigil: Risk-Aware IAM on Monday December 15th at 11:00 a.m. Eastern.
This webinar will help an IAM professional at any level. I hope you can tune in!
We recently conducted a survey and the findings reveal that while IT security executives understand the risk factors that lead to a data breach, their organizations may not be able to effectively remediate those access risks. Here's an infographic that highlights some of the findings:
Click here to view the complete survey findings.
A theme that is echoed over and over again in Identity and Access Management is that organizations do not have a comprehensive view of what is actually 'in' their environment.
For example, quite often they are unable to reliably answer fundamental questions such as
• Who has access to what?
• Are there active, but abandoned accounts?
• Are there ungoverned privileged accounts?
• Do people have more access than they should when compared to what their peers have?
• Are there unused entitlements and if so what are those?
This is only a small subset of the questions that organizations strive to answer, and uncovering such information often highlights inefficient and sometimes even broken processes, for example:
• Contractor accounts are not disabled correctly. This may lead to active but abandoned accounts
• Administrators grant administrative privileges directly in target systems, circumventing a request approval process. This may lead to un-governed privileged accounts.
• Employees perform different job functions over the course of their tenure in the organization and access may not have been revoked appropriately. This may lead to people having excessive access when compared to what their peers have.
Over the past decade, many organizations have employed some level of automation. In traditional IAM automation may help streamline certain processes, but it does not provide a continuous and comprehensive solution to address and mitigate all access risk issues. It is essential to realize that while automation can be a boon to organizations, automating inaccurate and broken processes can be a bane.
The key is to adopt an approach that combines strong fundamental IAM capabilities and access intelligence. Organizations must not only understand 'what' is in their environment and remediate policy violations, but also identify inefficient and broken processes and employ strong fundamental IAM strategies to appropriately address those. Yes, this is a shift from the traditional approach but it will only enable organizations to focus on the most important areas and mitigate risk quickly and effectively.
This week at London's Hotel Russell, the Identity Management 2014 conference brought together hundreds of technology professionals and security specialists across government and enterprises of all sizes and industries.
It was fascinating to hear from industry leaders discussing the next generation of Identity and Access Management, representing diverse firms and organizations such as ISACA, Visa Europe, Ping Identity, CyberArk, and beverage giant SABMiller.
A highlight for me was a session that included Nick Taylor, Director of IAM at Deloitte, and Andrew Bennett, CTO of global private bank Kleinwort Benson.
Taylor discussed the challenges that IAM professionals face in making access governance reviews business friendly, as often there is not enough context to understand the risks that they face. For example, an equities trader making lots of trades at a certain time of the day may be normal, but maybe not so normal if that trader is doing it from different locations or geographies.
Bennett supported that notion by pointing out that technical jargon can mask risk that exists, so he recommended that the financial services industry look into the concept of identity and access intelligence and start taking it on now. Adopting such a solution is not a case of throwing more tools at the problem; it is a matter of having the right tool to make sense of the mess.
Also good to hear our partner Ping Identity's session "It's Not About the Device – It's All About the Standards" and how modern identity protocols allow the differentiation of business & personal identities.
Overall a good conference that provided attendees with lots of opportunity to learn best practices and hear how their colleagues are approaching identity management. But rather than waiting for next year's conference, anyone can learn more in the near term by attending Courion's upcoming webinar Data Breach - Top Tips to Protect, Detect and Deter on Thursday November 20th at 11 a.m. ET, 8 a.m. PT, 4 p.m. GMT.
"Too much to do, too few resources."
This is a phrase that all too frequently comes up in the discussions that I have with IT staff in organizations around the globe. They feel never-ending pressure to improve security and service to the business, but usually with the same or fewer resources. This is a challenge that is especially glaring when trying to marry solid Identity and Access Management practices with current business processes.
For example, a security manager I spoke to at a large health organization was nearly brought to tears as he talked about the need to accurately track an ever-changing user population where the same person might move through multiple roles and through multiple access scenarios in the course of just a week. At another organization, a help desk manager I worked with wrestled daily with an avalanche of access requests from users who had no idea what access to request, and were seeking help from administrators who in turn had no idea what access users actually needed.
What's often needed in these situations is an IAM program that is centered on incremental progress that can provide some instant relief while also generating the time and resources needed so that the program can subsequently be expanded into a comprehensive solution. The key is to know where to begin, and to aim for quick business value. Those quick wins will help free-up resources by simplifying and automating processes that typically suck-up valuable manpower and time. Each incremental win then makes it easier to maintain momentum and expand user buy-in within the organization.
To get started with an IAM program that supports this kind of continuous improvement, you should first understand your identity and access landscape. By leveraging intelligence, as with Courion's Access Insight, you can get an immediate evaluation of Microsoft Active Directory, a key system for most organizations. The dashboards included with Access Insight highlight potentially urgent security issues as well as IAM processes that may be broken. Access Insight integrates with the Access Assurance Suite or other IAM solutions so you can drill down to fix those broken processes and promptly disable access for terminations and properly manage non-employee access.
Another benefit of getting the big picture view of your identity and access landscape with Access Insight is to better understand who has access to what and to put automated processes in place to refresh that information at least daily. Even the most complex scenarios benefit greatly from putting rules in place that can automatically map access for 70-95% of the workforce. Allowances can be made for exceptions to be handled manually so that no one falls through the cracks.
With this real-time access information available as a foundation, you can then tackle any number of pain points. For example, most often, the onboarding and offboarding processes for user accounts cry out for attention. Offboarding, both planned and unplanned, is generally simple to address with an intelligence-enabled IAM solution such as the Courion Access Assurance Suite, alleviating security and/or audit concerns.
In addition, automating at least basic, birthright access for new hires can be both a quick win and a foundation for continuous improvement. Role-based access can be incrementally added to the new hire process. You can pick and choose where it's worth investing effort, for example, where job turnover is high, or where access is very similar across a function. Implementing some roles into this process delivers a triple win – providing the right access (better security) at the right time (improved service) and reducing the number of access requests (boost IT efficiency).
Leveraging intelligence, you can start to cut down on the effort required to develop roles. Intelligence solutions such as Access Insight use analytics to attack the mountain of access data available to find those access patterns to suggest appropriate access for a user. Let the computer do the work!
If your help desk is struggling to keep up, there are several ways to alleviate the pressure while also enhancing security and providing better customer service. For example, a streamlined, centralized access request process provides these multiple benefits.
I often remember an IT manager I worked with at a manufacturing company whose request process included 140 different forms! It was a huge improvement when we helped his organization move to a simple, one-stop access request shopping solution that included a full audit trail and built-in approval process.
With an Intelligent-enabled IAM solution such as the Courion Access Assurance Suite, the request process is enhanced, because it provides guidance to the user regarding what to request. This is done via intelligent modeling of user access, which suggests access options for users in similar roles. The Access Assurance Suite also provides 'guard rails' against the inadvertent provisioning of inappropriate access because it automatically checks for possible policy violations, such as Segregation of Duty, during the request process.
As fundamental as it may seem, a self-service password management solution is also of great benefit to users, IT and help desk staff. Password reset calls often account for 25% or more of help desk calls. Shifting those inbound requests to a self-service process will free up IT and help desk time to tackle more high value activities while allowing end users to avoid waiting on a phone to get a password reset.
Last on this list but not last in priority, is the recertification of user access. Access recertification is a best practice and, likely, a legal and audit requirement. With an intelligence-enabled IAM solution in place this effort can begin by assembling data that details 'who has access to what'. You can then leverage that information to provide a business-friendly recertification process that does not tax IT resources with hours of assembling spreadsheets from a multitude of systems.
While periodic re-certifications are important and necessary, Intelligence also allows you to trigger automated 'micro-certifications' based on policies you define. For example, you may create a policy where a user who gets access to highly sensitive data outside the norm kicks off an access recertification process. This type of risk-aware micro-certification reduces the kind of access risk that exists where waiting six months for the next review could be dangerous. This has the added benefit of maintaining compliance continuously, thus expediting the next audit you face.
Clearly, it's possible to make significant progress in a relatively short time. The key is that these are not Band-Aid solutions, but the bricks that form a solid foundation for building a comprehensive, flexible and risk-aware IAM solution.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Felix Gaedtke, Gayatri Parameswaran | 08 May 2013 11:07 GMT | Business & Economy, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Denmark, France
Fifty-five year-old Ayda Sergsyan sang out a series of verses in praise of a traditional Armenian dish, pumpkin stuffed with rice, apple, apricot, almonds and other nuts - on a recent afternoon, as she prepared lunch for her family of six. The song pays tribute to the dish for its aroma and taste, but also highlights the importance of cuisine in Armenia's culture.
Pride in national cuisine is common across the Caucasian countries of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. But "gastronationalism" has caused quite a stir among these neighbours, who vie for the recognition of certain dishes as their own. The issue is increasing tensions between nations that share a troubled past.
That sunny afternoon, Sergsyan prepared her favourite dish, tolma, in her modest kitchen in Areni, a village in southern Armenia. She meticulously filled some vine leaves with rice and beef. "I'm preparing two kinds of tolma today - vegetarian and a meat variant," she said, as her grandchildren eagerly awaited their meal.
Meanwhile, a pot of harissa - chicken and wheat stew, boiled on the gas stove. "Harissa is our national dish. We all love it. It takes a lot of time for preparation, so we began making it last night," she said. An hour later, as lunch was served, the Sergsyan family gathered around their large dining table and cheered with their homemade wine to the glory of Armenian cuisine.
Bone of contention
Pardon relights Azerbaijan and Armenia enmity
But what the Sergsyans, and thousands of other Armenians, proudly consider to be their national food is a bone of contention in the surrounding region.
For instance, neighbouring Azerbaijan claims tolma to be integral to Azeri cuisine. Last year, Azerbaijan's president Ilham Aliyev declared it to be their national dish.
The National Cuisine Centre of Azerbaijan has gone further, accusing Armenia of "plagiarising" its national food.
Tahir Amiraslanov, who heads the organisation, said: "Armenians claim Azerbaijani and other dishes as their own... We've accused Armenia many times of plagiarising Azeri dishes. We tried to have a scientific argument to determine [the food's] origin, but they aren't willing to cooperate."
The fight doesn't stop there. Earlier this year, Azerbaijan's Ministry of National Security produced a documentary film called "Three Points" about the issue. The movie emphasises the importance of food in the conflict between the two countries, which went to war in the late 1980s and early 1990s over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The conflict left more than 30,000 dead and a million displaced from both sides. In 1994 a ceasefire was declared, but both sides accuse each other of violating the peace accord.
Armenia has refuted the allegations of food plagiarism. As a show of defiance, the Preservation and Development of Armenian Culinary Traditions, an organisation that works to preserve Armenian cuisine, set up an annual tolma festival in which chefs from across the country are invited to participate in a tolma-making competition.
Sedrak Mamulyan, a celebrity chef, culinary expert and organiser of the festival, said: "If they [other countries] want to make these dishes, let them. We don't have a problem, but why do they claim it as their own? We don't do that - we don't claim other countries' dishes as our own."
The organisation has also been contesting UNESCO's decision to add keshkek - a dish made of chicken and wheat stew - to its list of Turkey's intangible cultural heritage. According to Mamulyan, the dish called harissa in Armenia has been proven to be theirs. "The word 'keshkek' has Armenian roots. 'Kashi' means 'to pull' and 'ka' means 'to take out'. Once harissa is cooked you take it out of the oven. Ask the representatives of other nations about this dish and see if they can give you a similar explanation."
Meanwhile, Armenians have been questioning claims by neighbouring Georgia that khash, a soup made from cow feet, is its own.
Michaela DeSoucey, an assistant professor at North Carolina State University, has researched gastronationalism and argues that such disputes are not just about nationalism. "It is much more than that ... What often seems to be nationalism and pride is more of a struggle for markets. Jobs and livelihoods among the producers of the ingredients can be influenced by these disputes."
Arguments over which country "owns" a type of food are not intended to end in agreement, Desoucey believes. "[The disputes] help to raise awareness, but also help grow the markets by making people want to try the products," she explained.
Breaking bread together
And gastronationalism is by no means limited to the Caucasus region. DeSoucey cites disputes over the origin of feta cheese between Greece, France and Denmark, and a feud over who "invented" hummus between Israel, Palestine and Lebanon. "By creating symbolic boundaries, food is being used to keep people apart," she said.
At the same time, though, food and peacemaking have been connected historically, noted DeSoucey: "The main way alliances were brokered, how conflicts were resolved, was over food and feasting together."
The disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh illustrates how there may be some room for reconciliation. Despite decades of conflict with Azerbaijan, the people of the region reportedly love Azeri food. Although there isn't any direct contact between the two sides, Karabakhis have found a way around closed borders. The Azeri tea they are so fond of reaches them through relatives living in Russia. Azeris in Baku procure their bottles of Armenian cognac in a similar fashion.
In 2007, the Helsinki Initiative, an NGO that works towards promoting peace in the conflict-ridden region, organised a unique event called "Azeri Kitchen Day" in Nagorno-Karabakh's main city, Stepanakert, in which Azeri dishes were cooked and served.
Karen Ohanjanyan, who heads the Helsinki Initiative, stressed the need for such exchanges. "It is very difficult to establish peace on the grassroots level," she said.
"In order to achieve real change you have to start from the grassroots. You have to organise such things as the Azeri Kitchen Day and other events, in order to move towards peace."

One year, Jerry batted .200.
Another time the record shows he hit .500. Came to bat twice, hit the ball once. If you want to read more Jerry stats you can do so by going here.
"You know db, we rode the bus all over the place to games, so I would get to the bus maybe 15-20 minutes early so I could get a window seat…I got that so that on the way to the next game, the next town, I could sit and look at all the streams and rivers we passed…fishing was always on my mind…always."
So in 1957 or '58…with his baseball career going backwards in the alphabet, Jerry gave up baseball and moved to the Bull Shoals area, to fish the White River.
But being new to the river, he needed a guide to show him the honey holes, so he hired one to take him around,
"When I looked up, I saw this skinny guy walking down the dock to me."
The guide who looked up and told me the story is…Forrest L. Wood.
Yeah…that Forrest L Wood, the guy who founded Ranger boats, the guy with the tournament organization that bears his name, er, initials FLW.
From Forrest: "I was guiding the White River that day, drew Jerry as a customer, we were both about the same age, we were both nobodies, but boy did we hit it off, in fact I even brought him home to have dinner with me and Nina (Forrest's wife), and I never ever did that before."
From Jerry: "I still to this day remember walking down the ramp, remember walking up to him, and I can still hear in my head db, and I'm not kidding, still see and hear him look up and say to me, "Hello, I'm Forrest Wood, and I'm going to be your guide today."
How lucky we,
that in all our lives,
there comes,
moments of magic.
"I can honestly tell you db…tell you db…golly I can hardly get the right words…but right then in those 10-15 seconds it took Forrest to say those words…wow…a lot of things got lined up if you know what I mean."
I do. "Two drafts and a whiskey sour please."
"…I can only say…wow…it was a major moment in my life."
"I could tell that first day out with Jerry, that, how you say, he loved fishing so much…he kind of lost the crop when he went fishing, you know what that means Don."
I do Forrest.
It means, simply this, somehow, some way, an invisible hand has lead you to where you were meant to be.
And in Jerry's case, where he was meant to be, was off the baseball diamond, and onto the water…and more importantly on that fairly new invention…Television.
From a five minute fishing report on a local Little Rock television station…to the Arkansas Sportsman Show…to the Fishin' Hole show on ESPN…that invisible hand, that walk down the White River ramp…lead to an amazing 40 year run of talking fishin' on TV.
The crops loss, was a gain for million of television viewers.
"…I'm trading in this old bat…"
Forrest: "Jerry and I have been on a bunch of fishing trips together, we became lifelong friends, went to British Columbia to fish for Steelhead…in fact you know the first TV commercial I ever did, I did with Jerry, he always told me that if I come by his cabin, 'if the gate is open, come on in.'"
It was Forrest L Wood who sent me the photos he has kept of Jerry, and to this day they are still great friends, last year at the Bull Shoals event Forrest and Nina both showed up for their friend's weigh-in…it's where I took this photo of the two in the crowd.
Forrest buddy, huge shout out man, for taking my call, for taking the time to tell me stories, for helping us frame this moment of magic.
It is times like this that I have to take a moment to myself, and thank the mysterious hand that leads, need to take the time to shake the hand that leads,
that has lead me to a life as a reporter, writer,
led me to a lifetime of hearing people telling me of the moments of magic in their lives.
It is not so much the details of the moments of magic that is so special to me, the sweetness is being there when the person telling me realizes that magic moment.
You can hear it in their words, their speech, you can feel it in the electricity of humans that we all share. The stardust that unites us.
When all is said and done with me and this writing thing, the magic moment moments will be what I remember the most…
…and on that list will be what Jerry told me about how much Bull Shoals means to him.
"…for a…"
Bring it home, Jerry…bring the story home, as is your right.
"Golly db…don't know how to put that…"
I have asked Jerry this, "Tell me how important Bull Shoals is to you."
And then stepped back.
"…for a while I sort of took it for granted, as you do when you are young…"
There are pauses, long pauses, Jerry is thinking, remembering, I have just hit the dude upside the head with a 56 year old team photo…with quotes from the guide who helped launch it all…lot to take in…so I just shut up and wait…when he gets the words, I will hear them…
"…now…I realize how important this area was for me…"
There is a long pause, I put down my pen, experience has taught me that what will be said next I won't need to write down…I'll remember it for the rest of my life…those moments of magic…
"…db…this area built my whole life."
And that right there was worth the year it took to be able to hear it said. Maybe even worth it to the person saying it. I think it was because this was the next thing Jerry told me.
"I'll never, ever, ever, be able to repay this area for what it has done for me."
Dear Jerry.
Dear Forrest.
First, Forrest: "Been longer than you think, wish it wasn't like that though."
Now Jerry: "Been a long time, wish it wasn't, you know we are both very healthy, but you just never know at our age."
Wish it wasn't. Squared.
Please do this,
take the time, maybe this week, to once again float down the White River.
Do it to say thanks to that invisible hand that brought you together.
Do it to say thanks to each other for the lives that played out for you both.
There is a circle in every life,
when we come around once again,
when the invisible hand is gone,
and all we see are the moments of magic we were given.
Climb aboard guys, for one more fishing trip.
Because somewhere in the gentle current of the White River, you will catch,
how lucky we,
that in all our lives,
there comes,
moments of magic.
All because, you put down a baseball bat,
and picked up a…
"…fishing pole."
Laughing River
Robert Earl Keen
PS: Some huge shout outs…
To Paul G Pierce for his book "Baseball in the Cross Timbers," all those old time baseball photos came from this dude, clapping for you my friend…thank you.
To Forrest L Wood…for being a friend to Jerry and not a rival…for being a huge gentleman to me and opening his heart and telling me of his moment of magic…hope to sit in a boat with you some time myself.
And finally to my nameless sources, thank you for being there for me for the past 30 years, I have never told you this, but all of you have also been moments of magic in my life. My career has been in your hands.
And I thank you.

Entergy net income rises on hurricane tax ruling
Entergy Corp.'s net income rose 16 percent in the second quarter after the power company received favorable tax terms on financing costs for fixing damage to lines and equipment caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The increase also reflected stronger sales to Entergy's utility customers.
The New Orleans-based company reported Tuesday that its net income rose to $365 million, or $2.06 per share, for the three months ended June 30, up from $315.6 million, or $1.76 per share, a year ago.
Revenue fell 10 percent to $2.52 billion from $2.8 billion a year earlier. The decline was because of lower sales and lower prices for wholesale electricity.
