Mohammed Algosaibi talks to Reuters about the $22-billion-lesson his family learned about the dangers of 'name lending' in the Middle East.
June 13, 2011 12:57 by Reuters
His brother-in-law wasn't the only one unhappy about al-Sanea. Ayouti, the accountant, expressed worries about him on various occasions and was concerned that his debts could hurt AHAB, whose financial business was centered around the Money Exchange. "To date, no decision has been reached as to who will settle that indebtedness," he said in a 2000 auditors' report.
As early as 1997, the accountant wrote that the Money Exchange suffered a "permanent" liquidity shortage — so much so that it needed to borrow not just to meet the needs of "the partners and their affiliated companies", but also to service existing debt.
Three years later, Abdulaziz stepped in to reassure the accountant — and creditors who may have been worried about the Exchange. "In his capacity as Chairman and a partner of AHAB", Abdulaziz backed "the entire debts of Maan Al Sanea and his companies", says a March 2000 document described as a "pledge".
The court documents in the London case also show that Abdulaziz's only son Saud played an active role, and seemed to keep tabs on al-Sanea and his plans. Saud met bankers, dealt with the family's financial businesses, and was in frequent conversation with al-Sanea.
Saud could be demanding. "Tried to reach you several times last month and this month," he wrote to Al-Sanea in 2005, according to a court submission. "I understand where you come from, however think the analysis missed several points … would like to suggest meeting with someone from Money Exchange to discuss a workable plan and come up with a scenario."
Page after page of such exchanges is proof, the banks argue, that the Algosaibis knew what was going on and are therefore responsible for setting things right.
AHAB said it would not comment on statements made in the London court so far, repeating that "the notion that they knew or cooperated in the looting of their business has no logical or legal basis".
Despite the family concerns, Al-Sanea clearly enjoyed the fruits of running an important part of the business, basing many of his companies in the Cayman Islands, where he held much of his wealth.
Al-Sanea had a private plane fitted with plush white carpet, a master bedroom hung with expensive artwork, and a bathroom with gold fixtures, says Ninfa Arellano-Smith, a Cayman Islands banker working for HSBC. She met al-Sanea in 2006 through her husband — the director for the Civil Aviation Authority — and started working for him.
Al-Sanea, an elegant dresser, has a down-to-earth and easy sense of humour, while his wife Sana dressed like a typical western woman on a beach holiday in the Caymans, Arellano-Smith recalls.
"Sana is a very caring lady and soft spoken, but you know she still runs things. It's how they interact between them: she will pat him on the arm in a joking manner or something. They are a very caring, strong couple."
The al-Saneas took up an entire floor at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton resort on their 2008 vacation, Arellano-Smith said, flying into Grand Cayman with an entourage that included friends, butlers, caretakers and pilots.
Al-Sanea also inspected the resort's 20,000 sq foot penthouse with panoramic views of the world famous Seven Mile Beach and an asking price of $44 million. "He liked it, but it was too small," Arellano-Smith said.

e-Procurement is an Internet-based business process for obtaining materials and services and managing their inflow into the organization. In this paper we develop multiattribute e-Procurement systems with configurable bids and formulate the bid evaluation problem as a linear integer multiple criteria optimization problem. Configurable bids allow multiple values for each attribute and for each value the bidder can specify price as a piecewise linear function of quantity. The suppliers can express volume discount bargaining strategy and economies of scale, using the above price function. The buyer can include several business rules and purchasing policies as side constraints in the optimization problem to evaluate the winning bids. We propose the use of goal programming techniques to solve the bid evaluation problem.

Three more recalls have been announced by General Motors, raising its total to 48 so far this year. The latest recalls cover almost 475,000 vehicles - mostly pickup trucks and SUVs from the 2014 and '15 model years. It includes 467,000 four-wheel-drive Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups, as well as GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban SUVs. GM says a software glitch can cause the transmissions to shift into neutral on their own. More than 50.000 of the affected vehicles were sold in Canada. So far this year, more than 20-million GM vehicles have been recalled worldwide for various problems.

This week is all about avoiding the traditional wrapping paper (saving a couple of trees and keeping it out of landfills!) and going with all the bits and pieces of left-over, re-purposed stuff around the house.
Because I've been buying coffee in 1-pound cans, I had several lying around, and it occurred to me I could use them to wrap some gifts.
I save all kinds of ribbons, paper, beads and they live in a little corner of my office. Whenever I need some embellishments, there they are … and not just for the holidays. I go to my stash all year round.

"All across America, school food is undergoing a major transformation to help reverse the childhood obesity epidemic — but not without opposition and challenges. CAFETERIA MAN provides an inspiring, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to bring fresher, healthier food to the millions of kids in our nation's schools. The film follows nationally-recognized chef Tony Geraci as he works to revamp school food programs that feed thousands of students in two big city districts — Baltimore and Memphis. Responding to the pleas of Baltimore students who were fed-up with terrible school lunches, Geraci was hired to replace pre-plated foods with tastier, more nutritious meals. But he didn't stop there. To help students develop a better appreciation for healthier foods, he also established a model 33 acre teaching farm, brought in more locally sourced produce, and initiated student-designed meals. CAFETERIA MAN shows that it is possible to feed our nation's students healthier, more nutritious meals, and provides inspiration and ideas to win the fight for better school food.

"Overfed & Undernourished" examines modern lifestyles and a global epidemic through one boy's inspiring story to regain his health from the inside out. After heartache, Liam, weighing in at over 80kgs (176lbs) turns to his Aunty & Uncle for help, and embarks on a journey where we witness the highs and lows, a family unite for a common cause, and the promise of transforming his life forever.

Product description
There are 100,000 freighters on the seas. Between them they carry nearly everything we eat, wear and work with. And yet this massive global industry has remained largely unexamined: it passes by out of sight for most of us and, through the 'flags of convenience' system, its dubious practices often slip under the radar of regulators. In this unique investigation, Rose George travels the high seas with their powerful naval fleets, pirate gangs, and illegal floating factories, and visits the ports and their land-bound dockworkers, tycoons, missionaries, stevedores, border control guards, and ship-spotters. She meets the beachcombers who track the 10,000 containers that are lost every year, the robots who are gradually replacing human crews, and the environmentalists campaigning against the tide of marine pollution. Intrepid, informed and tenacious, George steers a sure course through the murky, character-rich waters of international shipping.

NY NOW Introduces Made In The U.S.A. Exhibitor LogosMonday July 8th, 2013 - 11:26AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Two new designer-commissioned logos will identify and promote American-made products at the summer 2013 edition of NY NOW, the Market for Home & Lifestyle , formerly NYIGF, running August 17-21 in New York. Made in the USA or Handmade in the USA logos will feature on booth signage and in directory listings for about 450 NY NOW exhibitors that identify themselves as having American-made products.ŌĆ©ŌĆ© "Increasingly, consumers are making conscience-based purchase decisions and are seeking out the Made in the U.S.A. label," said Christian Falkenberg, NY NOW director and GLM senior vp. "Across all four NY NOW collections, there are hundreds of these resources, and these logos will make these products even easier for buyers to find."ŌĆ©ŌĆ© NY NOW partnered with Red Clay, a collaborative product design studio, to create new logos. The winning logo among those produced, from Max Ptk, a creative designer and digital artist, offers a "minimalist flavor," NY NOW noted. It incorporates elements of the American flag, building architecture and an arrow to indicate forward movement. The new logo will represent products and suppliers that have met specific criteria developed to authenticate American-made products. In action as partners, NY NOW and the Craft Retailers' Association For Tomorrow, a group of galleries, shops and artists dedicated to promoting American-made craft, established the criteria in advance of the winter 2013 market. They participated in a joint initiative, dubbed the Handmade in USA Project, to make it easier for retailers to identify, source and sell products made in the United States. ŌĆ© A first-of-its-kind display will showcase American-made products— both handmade and factory-produced— at NY NOW this August. The exhibit, curated and installed by Paul Thompson, will feature nearly 200 products from NY NOW exhibitors. In addition, a related seminar, Cash-In on the Cachet of Made in the U.S.A., will run at NY NOW on Saturday, August 17, from Noon to 1:30 p.m. Moderator Jill Homiak, of USA Love List and a panel of American-made sourcing and selling specialists will explore authentication and certification, as well as marketing and brand positioning that capitalizes on consumer preferences for Made in the U.S.A. items, according to NY NOW. Participants include Marcie Gabor of Made in USA Brand, Melissa McGrath of Navy Blue Home and Gifts, and Heather Lawless of American Craft Week.

Question About Burn 24
Question About Burn 24
I bought some Burn 24 and the bottle says to take 3 times a day 20-30 minutes before meals. Just a couple questions:
1. Is it worth taking before a meal where I'm not eating carbs?
2. Is it worth taking post-workout? Seems like it would be overkill to me.
3. This ties into questions 1 and 2, but would it even be effective/would I see results from mainly using Burn to control weekend binging while using sparingly (maybe 1-2 times a day) during the week?
Thanks in advance. - 12-26-2013, 02:24 PM

Sandblasting? Can you do it?
I need some stuff sandblasted. I have 2 XJ skid plates, a BMX bike frame w/ forks, and a roof rack. The skids are priority and the rest is depending on a few things. Let me know what you can do. I am going to call around for pricing in the morning, just figured a fellow GL4x4 member may need a few bucks.

Live Action!
How soon you want it done? I might be able to start on them this week and possibly finish or at the latest early next week. I could possibly let you do it if you want, it would def be cheaper. Or I know of a Powder Coater that will sandblast and then coat them for you. His Company is Powder Pro 248-808-1209 Name is Dave Harrelson I have done work for him and he is a decent guy. His shop is located on Badder in Clawson right off of Rochester at about 14.5 mile. Down on left second building I think, first one is a house. If you ever go to D&D Auto parts on 15 mile he advertises there and there are business cards there, but you probably go to Murrays seeing they are down the street from you. I might be able to get a GL4x4 discount |

Legendary crew The Roots return with their latest musical creation Undun.
Undun marks the first conceptually-based album from The Roots: The album is a re-telling of the short life of one Redford Stephens (1974–1999)…
Through the use of emotives and Redford's internal dialogues the album seeks to illustrate the intersection of free will and prescribed destiny as it plays out 'on the corner'. Utilising a reverse narrative arc, the album begins as the listener finds Redford disoriented–postmortem–and attempting to make sense of his former life. As he moves through its pivotal moments he begins to deconstruct all that has led to his (and our own) coming undun.
In between recording the new album, the Roots have continued to perform as the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Track Listing:
Disc 1:
1. | The Un |
2. | Sleep |
3. | Make My (Feat. Big K.R.I.T. and Dice Raw) |
4. | One Time (Feat. Phonte and Dice Raw) |
5. | Kool On (Feat. Greg P.O.R.N. and Truck North) |
6. | The Other Side (Feat. Bilal Oliver and Greg P.O.R.N.) |
7. | Stomp (Feat. P.O.R.N.) |
8. | Lighthouse (Feat. Dice Raw) |
9. | I Remember |
10. | Tip The Scale (Feat. Dice Raw) |
11. | Redford (For Yia Yia & Pappou) |
12. | Possibility (2nd Movement) |
13. | Will To Power (3rd Movement) |

Nice comfort Excellent comfort and wick moisture well. It feels like walking on air. The problem is the piling. The socks look old after the first wash. I suppose okay under long pants. I wanted to use them with shorts, but they look like something an old man would wear (I'm 56)

Great socks! You're going to love anything that is SmartWool. The socks are made so they fit snugly around your instep and around your ankles. You do need to remember to let them dry naturally or else buy a larger size because they will shrink.

keep your feet warm Out of the packaging these didn't feel 100% soft but wearing them was fine. Very cushy and soft ... NO itchy feeling at all. They kept my feet very comfortable (warm) at the barn whether I was wearing leather boots or rubber boots. They aren't too thick. Machine washing and drying are a plus.

Travel Accessories Buying Guide
If your checklist of must-have travel accessories is limited to a tiny tube of toothpaste and an extra pair of socks, it may be time to take a better look at your options. Travel can be rewarding, refreshing and fun, but having the correct luggage and travel accessories at your disposal will take your trips to another level. This travel accessories buying guide will assist you in figuring out how to buy travel accessories that will help you get where you're going and allow you to enjoy yourself once you get there.
Facts about Soccer Balls
Obviously, having the right soccer ball is pretty important if you want to play a competitive soccer game. Once you've gotten your soccer cleats, soccer jerseys, soccer socks and other soccer gear ready to go, you aren't going to get very far without a soccer ball. There are three basic sizes of soccer balls. Players who are 5 to 8 years old play with a size three soccer ball. Youth soccer, ages 4 to 12, play with a size four, and anyone 13 and over plays with a size five. After that, soccer balls come in a variety of different materials and panel designs. A soccer ball has three basic pieces: the cover, the lining and the bladder. Each affects the "feel" and "control" of the ball.
International Shoe Sizing Buying Guide
If shoe sizes are listed using a system you aren't familiar with, it can be difficult to know how to buy shoes that will fit. Most of the shoes listed on Overstock.com are in U.S. sizes, which can make purchasing shoes online confusing if you are shopping internationally. This international shoe size conversion guide is here to give you an easy reference when you're shopping for shoes online. If it has been a while since you measured your feet, you'll want to do that first. Measure them late in the day, as they tend to be larger at this time. You should also wear the socks you plan to wear with your shoes. Have a friend trace your foot on a piece of paper, so you can stand up straight. Measure the tracing, finding the length of your foot in inches closest to the next 16th inch. Find the width of your foot, and then measure your other foot; use the measurements from the largest foot when referring to the shoe size conversion table. Remember that, even with the correct shoe size, shoes from different manufacturers will fit differently. Be sure to read customer reviews to see if the shoes you are shopping for run true to size.
Best Gifts for Baby Boys
Shopping for baby gifts is fun and exciting. Finding a fun, useful or educational gift for a baby boy is a great way to celebrate his birth or any occasion. By keeping the baby's age and his parents' lifestyle in mind when picking a baby gift, you can find something that will delight, impress and become a treasure. Whether you are shopping for a baby boy gift to take to a baby shower or a gift that will be perfect for his first birthday, we can help you select the best baby gift with our tips. Activity. Play mats such as gym mats and tummy time mats are great gifts for baby boys. Play mats help babies develop motor skills, strengthen their muscles and they can also entertain little one's while parents take a break. Active baby boys love kicking and playing with gym mat toys and tummy time mats will entertain any baby while he is developing strong muscle coordination. In addition to play mats, music CDs, educational DVDs and baby books are great activity-based gift options. Age-appropriate toys such as trains, cars, stuffed toys and balls never go out of fashion and give babies opportunities to develop their motor skills. A play yard also makes a great baby boy gift. Play yards offer a safe place for babies to explore their environment. Nursery. You can help dress a baby boy's nursery with decor gifts. Crib bedding, hampers, crib toys, musical mobiles, window treatments, stuffed toys, rugs and other accessories will add to a baby boy's nursery. Check with parents to find out their planned nursery theme before buying or choose neutral decor items. Large nursery items such as baby swings, rockers, bouncy seats and walkers are great gifts and will be very useful for the parents. Meal time. Babies need so many accessories to get them through the day. Feeding accessories make very useful baby boy gifts. Cheerful dish sets and baby bibs with witty lines are gifts that make meal times memorable for a baby boy and his parents. If you have a generous budget, consider larger items such as high chairs, baby booster seats and travel seats. Clothes and accessories. A baby can never have too many outfits. Consider the time of year and local climate and choose clothes and accessories that fit the seasons. Undershirts, pajamas, sleepers, shorts, T-shirts, pants and pairs of jeans are safe bets for baby boys. Hats, jackets, socks, shoes and mittens make useful gifts as well. If you are shopping for a newborn, consider purchasing clothing that is perfect for older babies. As long as you keep the seasons in mind, you can purchase a clothing gift that will be useful once the baby grows out of his adorable infant outfits.

How To Care for a Sheepskin Coat
Shearling jackets and coats are made from sheepskin, with the wool of the sheep worn inward and the suede (the treated skin) on the outside. Both men's coats and women's coats are made from sheepskin, and they come in a wide range of hues, from light tan to a rich mahogany, depending on the suede. Sheepskin coats are luxurious, expensive, attractive and very warm. For those reasons, special care should be taken when storing, cleaning and even wearing your sheepskin coat to make sure your investment lasts a long time.
Best Kid-friendly Fabric for Sofas
Finding the right sofa and loveseats that match your room, have the right look and meet your budget can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. If kid-friendly fabrics are on your must-have list, start by looking below. This article will help you find the best kid-friendly fabrics for sofas, which should repel stains and hold up to added abuse from children jumping, scooting and forgetting to remove their shoes before hopping on the sofa. Shop All Sofas and Loveseats ▸ Microfiber:Microfiber is stain-resistant and comes in different textures. Some microfiber weaves are smooth, like suede, and others are denser, similar to corduroy. You may clean most microfiber with water, but check the manufacturer's tag because a few types of microfiber may require cleaning with a compatible solvent. Wool:For sofas, wool and wool blends are great because of their durability. They're less prone to pilling, snagging and wrinkling than other fabrics. Plus, wool is easy to spot-clean. Vacuum this natural fabric with a hand-held vacuum attachment to remove dust. Leather:Leather is a versatile sofa fabric; it can be elegant or totally casual. Its slick surface makes cleanups relatively easy. Beware if you have pets, as little claws can leave scratch marks. Scuff-repair solutions are available, and they can keep your kids' sofa looking good for years. In addition, a quick treatment with leather conditioner once or twice a year will keep the sofa soft and supple. Vinyl:Vinyl is just as versatile as leather and often has the same smart look, but at a much more affordable price. It's easy to clean, too: just spray it with water and wipe spills away. Vinyl isn't as snuggly as microfiber, but in a playroom, it will hold up to lots of abuse. Denim:Just because a sofa is upholstered in denim doesn't mean it'll look like your worn-out jeans. Just like a comfy pair of jeans, denim is sturdy and goes with everything. In addition, denim sofas are available in a rainbow of colors to match your kids' bedrooms or playroom.

Today, sheepskin footwear is widely popular among men and women of all ages; the boots provide warmth, comfort and style. Here are some facts about sheepskin boots.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com analyst: USC's Matt Barkley made fantastic impression with Cardinals
While most updated mock drafts have the Arizona Cardinals taking offensive tackle Eric Fisher (Central Michigan), offensive tackle Luke Joekel (Texas A&M) or guard Chance Warmack (Alabama) with the No. 7 overall pick in April's draft, it seems another prospect might have done enough in the interview process to pique the interest of Steve Keim and Co. at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
According to NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah, USC quarterback Matt Barkley made quite a first impression with the Cardinals' Combine contingent.
This week in Indy always spawns several rumors. One such rumor has the Cardinals being very interested in Barkley. I've been told this exact same piece of information from a few different sources. According to one source, the Cardinals were extremely impressed with the USC quarterback during his interview this week.
Barkley at No. 7 seemed plausible following his 2011 campaign with the Trojans. As a junior, the Orange County native led USC to a 10-2 record and threw for 3,528 yards and a Pac-12 record 39 touchdowns. However during the Trojans' disappointing 7-6 campaign in 2012, Barkley saw his numbers (3,273 yards, 36 touchdowns and a career-high 15 interceptions) and his draft stock steadily decline.
To make matters worse, Barkley suffered a season-ending separated right shoulder in a late-season loss to rival UCLA. The injury kept Barkley out of USC's bowl game and prevented him from throwing for teams in Indianapolis this week.
While Barkley appears to be making the most out of his Combine experience, the former Trojan likely still has some work to do at USC's Pro Day on March 27.
Although it's not terribly surprising that Barkley reportedly said all the right things during his Combine interview with Arizona, the question still remains: Can the Cardinals afford to take a quarterback with the No. 7 overall pick in a year where the draft class isn't full of elite talent at the position?

More bad news in Illinois for the families distraught by the desecration of their loved ones' graves.
Law enforcement and visitors discovered more remains at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Ill., and subsequently closed the cemetery Friday.
It has been labeled a crime scene.
"I found bones out there, I found individuals wandering aimlessly around," Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said.
Families are allowed to file inquiries at the cemetery today where an exhumation was planned. Dart said he hopes Burr Oak will reopen to the public within a week.
The family of civil right's icon Emmett Till said they were outraged that his casket was nearly ruined as part of a money-making scheme that desecrated hundreds of graves.
"I did view the casket and it is appalling to see how much it has decayed," said Ollie Gordon, a cousin of Till's and an heir to the estate.
Till's casket is one of more than 300 that fell victim to a money-making scheme orchestrated by four cemetery employees who for more than four years dug up bodies and dumped them in the weeds so the plots in the historic Chicago graveyard could be resold.
Till, whose body was interred at Burr Oak, was exhumed in 2005. He was reburied in a different casket, but the original one was supposed to have been preserved by the cemetery.
Instead, Hart said Till's coffin was found "rusted and filled with wildlife in a dilapidated garage," according to ABC News' Chicago affiliate WLS.
The grave site where Till was reburied has not been disturbed, Hart said.
Till became a rallying point for the civil rights movement when he was brutally murdered at the age of 14 for allegedly whistling at a white woman in a Mississippi store.
Gordon, who said that family plans to move Till's original casket and have it restored "as much as possible," said that she had spoken frequently to Carolyn Towns, 49, the woman who is now suspected to be the ring-leader of the devastating scam.
"I worked and spoke with Miss Towns several times to make sure everything was in order," said Gordon. "It's [the casket] part of history. It's part of trying to put our family member to rest. When will Emmett finally be allowed to rest?
"How could anybody allow this to happen to something that is so pertinent to history," said Gordon. "How can you disregard the family in such a way?"
In addition to not taking care of his original coffin, Hart said Towns set up a faux memorial fund for Till.
"[Towns] had also set up an Emmett Till Memorial Fund where she took money from that and apparently pocketed that money," said Cook County Sheriff Tom Hart.
He did not specify how much money had been collected before Town's arrest Thursday.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson was also on hand at a press conference Friday, and urged families who are planning to bury their loved ones at the famed cemetery to boycott the grave site.
"This cemetery, it is not a secure place," said Jackson.
Comptroller Daniel Hynes, the state official responsible for regulating cemeteries, said that he was revoking the three licenses that cemetery has in order to perform so-called "pre-burial needs" for clients.
"While the owner apparently is cooperating with the investigation, I also believe he has to be held responsible for what his employees did," said Hynes.
The cemetery's owners, Arizona-based Perpetua, Inc., did not return calls made by ABCNews.com.
