And back yard advantage could be a problem but when Ali was champion of only one belt (later two but he held both) he fought in Vegas, Texas, Toronto, England, Germany, New York, Vancouver, Ireland, California, Indonesia, Malaysia, Puerto Rico, Congo.
Ray Robinson fought all over the USA, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, England, Scotland, Austria, Dominican Republic.
I think the point is that when the best fight the best boxing's popularity goes through the roof as it once was and that attracts a more global crowd and more money from abroad. Then it makes it worthwhile for champions to do fights all over the world.

You still have the same thing today, but with 4 major belts. You can only keep the title without fighting for so long until you must vacate it. All of that happens now anyways, you cant keep an ABC title for ever either. The title just is worth more with only 1 instead of 4.
Vitali had to vacate and when he came back he was automatic challenger or something like that for his ABC belt .I feel all of the small details can be worked out because they have the same thing anyways whether there are 4 belts or 1 belt, its just worth more if its one belt.
Ali lost the title due to no fault of his own and joe frazier was the new champ. I think they were just starting to have 2 belts at that point? anyway after a long lay off the ex champ just fights the new champ and it should happen reasonably soon and if the ex champ never lost the title in the ring then yeah I think he jumps up near the front of the line.
For example, what if calzaghe came back just prior to the froch vs ward fight, well he needs to wait because froch vs ward needs to happen but then he can face the winner.

In an ideal world, with a well run and accountable organizing body, one belt and one champion would be the way to go.
Given how riddled with corruption the sport is however, I don't know if you could ever trust one organizing body with ranking and with opponent selection for champions. Imagine Don Sulaiman having that power.

Project Report on Insurance Sector in India Overview
The insurance sector has a long history in India. The insurance sector in India has come a full circle from being an open competitive market to nationalization and back to a liberalized market again. Tracing the developments in the Indian insurance sector reveals the 360-degree turn witnessed over a period of almost 190 years.
The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the year 1818 with the establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. The 1st legal enactment was made in 1870. The 1st Indian Insurance Act was passed in 1938 and amended in 1950, when it was nationalized. However, the sector was once again thrown open to the private sector on December 1999, followed by the establishment of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) in April 2000.
Though the Insurance Sector is now open for private players as a consequence of the new liberalization policies of the Government, the existing government owned Insurance companies will, nevertheless, continue to be in the government sector. These existing companies will, however, have to strive for better realization of their corporate objectives and goals to meet the demands and expectations of the public.
Quality of service and product that an industry offers must move forward with progress in the state of the economy. As the quantum and quality of service change over time, the levels at which customers continue to remain satisfied with the services provided, also keep on increasing. Ultimately, the success of any industry depends upon its positioning in the state of economy and on meeting the expectations of the service users.
With competition, the performance level of individual companies is expected to increase. Segmentation is taking place within the economy with a need for socially responsive service sector.
Globalization is the new economic reality, which is here to stay, heralding a new era of insurance in India. With the opening of the insurance industry, India stands to gain with the following major advantages:
So, it's clear that the insurance was in private hands before 1971 and was nationalized in 1972 with all private companies merged into General Insurance Corporation of India as
The parent company with 4 subsidiaries as National Insurance Company Ltd. with Head Office at Calcutta, New India Assurance Company Ltd. with Head Office at Bombay, Oriental Insurance Company Ltd. with Head Office at New Delhi and United India Insurance Company Ltd. with Head Office at Madras.
In 1993 the need for Private Insurance Companies and Multinational Companies was felt and beginning of liberalization process started.
Life Insurance History :
Life Insurance History : Life insurance in its existing form came in India from United Kingdom (UK) with the establishment of a British firm, Oriental Life Insurance Company in 1818 followed by Bombay Life Assurance Company in 1823, the Madras Equitable Life Insurance Society in 1829 and Oriental Life Assurance Company in 1874. Prior to 1871, Indian lives were treated as sub-standard and charged an extra premium of 15% to 20%. Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society, an Indian insurer that came into existence in 1871, was the first to cover Indian lives at normal rates. The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act, 1912 was the first statutory measure to regulate life insurance business. Later, in 1928 the Indian Insurance Companies Act was enacted, inter alias, to enable the government to collect statistical information about life and non-life insurance business transacted in India by Indian and foreign insurers, including the provident insurance societies.
In 1938, with a view to protecting the interest of insuring public, earlier legislation was consolidated and amended by Insurance Act, 1938 with comprehensive provisions for detailed and effective control over the activities of insurers. In order to administer the aforesaid legislation, an insurance wing was established and attached first with the Ministry of Commerce and then Ministry of Finance. This ministry was administratively responsible for policy matters pertaining to insurance. The actuarial and operational matters relating to the insurance industry were looked after by an attached office in Shimla, headed first by Actuary to the Government of India, then by Superintendent of Insurance and finally by the Controller of Insurance. The act was amended in 1950, making far-reaching changes such as requirement of equity capital for companies, carrying on life insurance business, ceilings on shareholdings I such companies, stricter control on investment of life insurance companies, submission of periodical returns relating to investments and such other information to the Controller as he may call for, appointments of administrators for mismanaged companies, ceilings on expenses of management and agency commission, incorporation of the Insurance Association of India and formation of councils and committees thereof.
By 1956, 154 Indian insurers, 16 non-Indian insurers and 75 provident societies were carrying on life insurance business in India. Life insurance business was confirmed mainly to cities and better off segments of the society.
On 19th January 1956 the management of life insurance business of 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies, then operating in India, was taken over by the Central Government and then nationalized on 1st September 1956. An Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, formed LIC in September 1956, with capital contribution of Rs. 5 crore from the Government of India.
The then Finance Minister, Shri S.D.Deshmukh, while piloting the bill for nationalization, outlined the objectives of LIC thus: to conduct the business with utmost economy, in a spirit of trusteeship; to charge premium no higher than warranted by strict actuarial considerations; to invest the funds for obtaining maximum yield for the policy holders consistent with safety of the capital; to render prompt and efficient service to policy-holders, thereby making insurance of recommendations of the Administrative Reforms Commission as under:
Above as shown in the table, there are 16 major players in the Indian insurance industry. But as far my study is concerned we will focus on the major life insurance companies in Indian insurance industry which are on the top most position in Indian market. In my study I comprise the Kotak life insurance with one Public sector Company and other Private sector companies. These companies are:

TRENTON — A new directive ostensibly aimed at streamlining and better documenting communication between the city council and department directors has drawn the ire of critics who claim the move is an attempt to tie the hands of council members.
Under the new policy established by council President Kathy McBride, members must submit all requests for information or action from the departments directly to business administrator Eric Berry instead of approaching the departments independently.
"In the event of any request by a member or members of Council for any service, request to review an constituent issue, information on your individual department duties, projects, or any other city business, all employees are directed to politely ask that (they) … make the request through the procedure established by Council President McBride," the memo reads.
The policy drew instant criticism from South Ward Councilman George Muschal, who has earned a reputation among citizens for taking it upon himself to plow streets, cut grass and clean up abandoned lots throughout the city.
"You know nothing's going to get done. This is a stall tactic for the people. This is totally insane what they're doing," he said. "Nothing's getting done now in this city. I put in for cleanup jobs in May, city properties, and it hasn't been done. There's grass five foot high."
In a statement, McBride said she put the policy in place to streamline an otherwise chaotic process.
"Memos issued by the administration … are intended to accomplish one thing and one thing only: a clear and concise direction for us to work together and communicate," she said. "Streamlined communication … will foster greater cooperation and quicker results for our constituents."
The directive complies with the state's Faulkner Act, which allows the administration to designate a point person for council to submit requests to. City law, however, allows for more direct access between members of council and city employees.
"The Council, in its discretion, may require any municipal officer to prepare and submit sworn statements regarding (his or her) official duties and the performance thereof," the municipal code reads, "and the Council may otherwise investigate the conduct of any department, office or agency."
However, neither law explicitly allows for the council president to independently set policies for the entire legislative body.

South Korean police said Thursday that North Korea may be responsible for renewed cyber attacks that have affected seven more Web sites.
South Korea's spy agency has identified the North with involvement in the initial cyber attacks that began Tuesday on South Korean and U.S. Web sites.
U.S. authorities also suspect North Korea as the origin of the trouble, but they warned it would be difficult to identify the attackers quickly.
North Korea has not responded to the accusations.
"The anticipated attack did take place, but considerable counter-measures were taken and it did act as a defense to some degree," an official at the online security firm Ahnlab said.
Though no major disruptions were reported, the National Cyber Security Center site in South Korea remains inaccessible.
"The damage from the latest attack appears to be limited because those sites took necessary measures to fend off the attack," said Ku Kyo-young, an official from the state-run Korea Communications Commission.
The White House, Pentagon, Treasury Department and the Nasdaq Stock Exchange were among some of the U.S targets.
The attacks also paralyzed Web sites in the U.S. over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

One lengthy blog about one Tunisian Jew who didn't want to live in Israel,
full of speculation.
I've got a friend of Celtic stock who doesn't want to live in Wales.
So please stop kicking us around.
The Reptilian thing is bang-on, though.
But there's alot of antipathy about Zionism, so give us a break.
Zionism! The Kaballah, Madonna's one and the ancient one that hippies use to navigate the ether, have nothing to do with politics. The Z-word was first used in politics at the end of the nineteenth century, comparatively recently. Each to their own for spiritual routes, it's a big planet; I gather Lauren Booth felt something sprirtual - but who doesn't feel moved by religion?
Come October 27th in Wembley, embarrassed, David Icke will tell you not to believe a word I say, but what good is his talk anyway? That's all he does! Support Occupy - out there and famous in three months flat. Here is my channel, Icke solves nothing, he has no educational qualifications, and is terrified of being Islamophobic.
More and more I want to know what blog/s you would write. Nobody dislikes us quite like you, with that all-seeing yet anonymous eyeball of yours. Please don't hold back Iris. A larger portion of your insights is called for in this microcosm of Zionist democracy here.
In a fair few social settings, I come across Israeli supporters/perceptive judges of humankind, but in case other JC readers are not in this position, show people this link :)
Have a working knowledge of the technique of the genre used - docudrama - obviously a mix of documentary and drama, and herein lies the rub, as the two genres let each other down somehow, in this case, sacrficing fact for a family-acceptable TV series. 2011.
I remember reading, trying, as an eight year old, to read the book called the Scourge Of The Swastika, by Lord Russell Of Liverpool (linked at this posting's end) which was a serious hardback for a kid.
I have an email subscription to Am, but who'd have thought it, Amnesty are not welcome in Egypt. The implications are intruiging...
I have an email subscription to Am, but who'd have thought it, Amnesty are not welcome in Egypt. The implications are intruiging...Suzanna??
Without keeping a good grip on Hamas and its acolytes, the alternative would be terrifying. Zionism compared jihad is not that bad! So if Israel keeps control, I for one am pleased.
:( A blog about Loius Theroux is here >
:( Theroux's Israel on YouTube >
Why did Israel want to go with the BBC, what with Honest Reporting's giant dossier on them published just last year?
It's a terrible shame that the woman was not arrested, but was allowed to pose, static. While I know some Muslims socially who are friendly, at least any hateful attempts are checked by shuls' security firms before they start.
This is not the verbiage of an ally.
http://www.ifrc.org/who/emblem-general.asp << Why is the Red Cross ignoring us? It ignores others too, I can see that, but this is the Jewish Chronicle, and so this is what gets written about. The link is the response to my letter about our Red Cystal left out
The fisrt part of this link is stark footage (not great for children) but after that you get to see Mickey in Palestine.
Codepink, agents provocateurs for the opposition, have just six hundred and eighty facebook associates over thier five pages, which isn't many considering facebook is international with its users in the billions. But even so, the website, obviously also international, remarkably, looks alot more bullish than that.
Nobody can steal what they already own: the Dead Sea Srolls are written in Aramaic, Greek - and Hebrew! I've even floated on the Dead Sea as a tourist.
There can be few more important hobbies than protecting Israel's reputation on-line (and elsewhere, I know) because some samples of the worst Internet postings that I've come across include these horrors:
A Star Of David, in colour yet, likened to a spider.
Blaming Israel for the Middle East war - a regular, that.
A fake Shul with abusive Rabbis running it.
Reading the word Zionist used as an insult.
Jews assumed to run the media/world - where? how?
...need I go on? :)
"We will show you English what the jihad is, we will be at London Bridge at eleven o'clock." The Terrorist Hotline Police were pretty good when I rung them. They took details and left me with advice to keep my mobile handy for my safety, which they said is what they do themselves. My facebook page was hacked to get my number, and has since been closed.

• We examined linkage between schizophrenia and five genetic markers on chromosome 5 in six pedigrees. Analyses were run considering the affected phenotype to be schizophrenia, schizophrenia plus a spectrum of related disorders, and these disorders plus any axis I diagnosis. None of the analyses were suggestive of linkage at any of the markers, either considering the pedigrees individually or in the aggregate. In our pedigrees, multipoint linkage analyses excluded much of the region that had supported linkage in an earlier study. These findings are consistent with other attempts to replicate the chromosome 5 linkage finding.

U.S. Open Update: Clark Withdraws; Steve Williams on Different Bag this Week
Tim Clark has withdrawn from the U.S. Open at Congressional. The second major championship of the year starts Thursday.
Steve Williams & Adam Scott at
Congressional (©USGA-J. Mummert)
The diminutive South African has played only twice since his runner-up finish in the Sony Open in January as a nettlesome left elbow injury continues to bother him.
Clark's spot in the field has been taken by J.J. Henry, the first alternate from the qualifying site in Columbus, Ohio.
Williams to Loop for Scott
Tiger Woods isn't playing in this week's Open as he's still recovering from injuries to his left knee and Achilles heel. But his longtime caddie, Steve Williams, will be at work in Bethesda, Md., looping for Adam Scott.
Scott has been looking for a new caddie ever since parting ways with Tony Navarro. Woods's agent, Mark Steinberg, indicated the pairing is only temporary.
"Adam found out that Tiger wasn't going to be playing the U.S. Open," Steinberg said. "He and Stevie have been friends for quite some time, and he called and said, 'Can you help me out at the Open?' "
It's not the first time Scott - a native of Australia - and the New Zealand-born Williams have been associated. Ten years ago Scott briefly hired Williams' younger brother, Phil, as his caddie.
It's not known at this time how long the arrangement will last, as the timetable for Tiger's return hinges on the successful rehabilitation of his leg. The next event listed on his website (www.tigerwoods.com) indicates that Woods plans to return for the AT&T National, which starts June 30.

DON'T LOOK NOW but your next-door neighbors may be swappers.
We're not talking swap as in swing, unless your idea of swinging involves habanero jelly. These swappers trade in edible goods — homemade, homegrown, home-brewed or even foraged currency — exchanging whatever they've brought to the table one-to-one for others' delicious treasures. Although bartering is nothing new — it's likely prehistoric cave dwellers traded jerked woolly mammoth meat for dodo eggs — there is a growing movement of passionate foodies intent on sharing the wealth.
People like Georgia Kirkpatrick, a Philly resident who, along with Marisa McClellan of foodinjars.com and a few other fervent do-it-yourselfers, cooked up Philly Food Swappers last fall. The group, on Facebook at facebook.com/PhillySwappers, patterned its first event after BK Swappers, a Brooklyn-based group with members committed to everything from homesteading to honey-making.

NVIDIA GeForce 305M: The GeForce 305M is a slower version of the GeForce 310M and has the same computing power as the 9400M (ION) integrated card (according to Nvidia). Still, due to the dedicated memory, it should be faster in games.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
NVIDIA GeForce 310M: The GeForce 310M is the successor of the GeFore G210M and based on the same chip with very similar clock rates (shader speed +30MHz to 1530MHz).

Batman fans are in for a treat with Gotham – but not because they are Batman fans.
Fanboys (and fangirls) were in a tizzy when Fox announced that it had picked up a series that would serve as an origin story for the city that will one day be protected by the Dark Knight. The Comic-Con crowd devoured every detail about which characters from the DC comic would be incorporated into the series and eagerly awaited the chance to watch a young Catwoman, Riddler, Penguin and Poison Ivy in action.
And all those fan-favorite characters are in on the fun of Gotham, but at its core, this new drama is a procedural cop show that is worth watching even if you don't know Bruce Wayne from Bruce Jenner.

It could wind up being a bridge to nowhere.
The Town of Orchard Park is planning to replace the Forest Drive bridge in the Village of Orchard Park, which it is obligated to do.
But when Town Board members asked the Village Board to help pay for a new, higher bridge, the Village Board said no.
So Town Board members talked about building the new bridge, but just the bridge, leaving the version of a new bridge a couple feet higher than the pavement. Cars would be stuck on one side of the bridge, unable to span the different elevations.
But maybe it won't be a bridge too far.
"The bridge is being raised. There'll obviously be some road work necessary to make sure the bridge tapers into the existing roads," Town Councilman David Kaczor said. "We're responsible for the bridge; they're responsible for village roads."
But Town Engineer Wayne Bieler said the town will build the bridge to withstand a 100-year flood, and it will construct the necessary approaches.
There's been discussion for years about replacing the Forest Drive bridge, which is on at least one list of the worst bridges in New York State.
The structure has deteriorated, and Smokes Creek can be seen through holes in the deck. It also acts as a bottleneck for Smokes Creek during heavy rains, causing flooding downstream.
"The flooding, to me, was not the big issue," said Bill Burns of Forest Drive. "It's falling apart."
Burns has lived on Forest for 26 years. He said that about once every five years, water floods over the road, and there is flooding upstream because of the bottleneck at the bridge. But he's more concerned about the safety of the bridge.
"There's holes in it. You can see right through the bridge," he said.
The new bridge may be finished next year.
The Town Board earlier this month approved borrowing $1 million as part of $4.23 million in capital projects planned for the town.
"We are going with the new and improved bridge," Kaczor said. "We will meet our responsibility for the bridge."
Estimates for the cost are as high as $1.4 million, which includes drainage work. State and federal grants will reimburse about 90 percent of the cost of the bridge.
The mayor said the village did not want to be part of the discussion on what type of bridge would be built but has not ruled out contributing.
"I did not want to be part of the decision-making process," Mayor John Wilson said. "It's a town project."
He said he feels that village residents have already paid for the bridge through their town taxes.
Wilson said he identified $100,000 from three village reserve funds that could be used for the bridge project.
"We tried to be cooperative, we tried to help out. The town was unwilling to listen to what we have to say," he said.
Town Board members say it's the village that rejected helping out with the bridge.
"Certain members of the Village Board supported working with the town. Others didn't," Kaczor said.
Still, construction should start next summer on a new bridge, and it should help the flooding issues.
"I think the neighbors are delighted," Burns said.
That may mean the whole controversy is water under the bridge.

PHILADELPHIA -- Chris Bosh has been shooting at least 100 free throws every day in practice. The extra work is paying off.
Bosh made 16 of 18 free throws, scored 24 points and had 10 rebounds to help the Toronto Raptors snap a three-game losing streak with a 105-103 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.
Bosh is 48-of-52 from the line in six games, while going 26-of-66 from the field.
"My percentage from the field isn't good right now," Bosh said. "If I'm wide open, I'm going to take the jump shot. If not, I'll go to the basket and try and draw the foul. I have confidence in my free throw shooting."
Anthony Parker added 22 points, including a 3-pointer with 33.7 seconds remaining. T.J. Ford had 16 for the Raptors.
Raptors coach Sam Mitchell said it was a confidence boost to simply win the game.
"Every night is a grind," he said. "There are no easy wins."
Andre Iguodala scored 17 of his 26 points in the second half, and Lou Williams scored 19 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter for the Sixers.
Williams' 3-pointer with 55.2 seconds remaining pulled the Sixers to 98-96. But Parker came right back with a clutch 3-pointer of his own for a 101-96 advantage.
"It's good to see the ball go through the hoop," Parker said. "Defensively, I felt like we did a good job, forcing them to take some tough shots, which they hit."
On the Sixers' next possession, Williams hit a 3-pointer and was fouled by Parker. Williams connected on the free throw for a rare four-point play, cutting Toronto's lead to 101-100 with 21.4 seconds left.
"I was watching some old high school tape of myself and I noticed I was going to the basket," Williams said. "I just tried to do that in this game and take what was open."
Two free throws by Bosh gave Toronto a 103-100 lead before Williams had the opportunity for a three-point play with 15.2 seconds left, but he missed the free throw.
With Philadelphia down 105-102, Iguodala went to the line with 1.8 seconds left. He missed the first shot and attempted to misfire on the second only to send the ball through the hoop.
"We don't have a lot of room for error," Iguodala said. "We have to box out and get our hands on loose balls."
Williams carried the Sixers in the fourth quarter, scoring 10 points in the first 5:35. His jumper with 5:25 left tied the game at 87.
The Sixers made it 92-91 on a basket by Iguodala with 3:52 to go, but Bosh responded with five straight points -- two free throws and a layup -- for a 96-91 lead.
Raptors coach Sam Mitchell made a change in his starting lineup, replacing Andrea Bargnani with Rasho Nesterovic. "We're not panicking because we're 2-3," Mitchell said before the game. "We're just trying to get the most out of the guys." ... Moon hit his first career field goal in the second quarter ... The Raptors connected on their first 17 free throws ... After drawing just 9,317 fans for Wednesday's game against Charlotte, the Sixers had a slightly improved crowd of 10,886 against Toronto. ... The Raptors led 24-19 after the first quarter, a major turnaround from their last three games in which they were outscored 91-60.

The brain requires a large amount of energy for proper functioning, thereby an increase of neuronal communication is constrains due to limited energy supply. This problem may be circumvented by optimizing the neuronal connection instead of increasing the number of neurons. Such fine reorganization of the neuronal network is established during early postnatal brain development. In this thesis, the developmental changes of the energy metabolism during neuronal network development have been investigated in order to get deeper insight into the impact of the energy metabolism for optimization of neuronal communication. Hippocampal cell cultures, containing both neurons and glia cells, were incubated in nutrition medium for the first three weeks in vitro. In this interval, the energy metabolism during neuronal network formation in rat hippocampal cell cultures has been studied by means of fluorescence imaging together with chemical stimulation. NAD(P)H and intracellular protons have been taken as a measure for the energy metabolism because they are produced by glycolysis and subsequently consumed by mitrocondrial respiration. NAD(P)H was recorded by its autofluorescent and protons were detected by using a suitable fluorescent pH-indicator dye. Developmental changes of the energy metabolism were investigated. This process was traced by recording NAD(P)H fluorescence in response to NMDA-induced activation of neuronal activity. We observed progressive changes of stimulation evoked NAD(P)H signaling during the first three weeks in vitro. At day 7 and 16, this response was minimal, yielding a biphasic pattern that reproduced earlier findings of about developmental changes of population spike (a shift in electrical potential as a consequence of the movement of ions involved in the generation and propagation of action potentials) amplitudes or glutamate release in young rats. Inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by KCN revealed that the NMDA-evoked stimulation of the energy metabolism is mainly due to an increase in glycolytic activity. Imaging of intracellular pH (pHi) revealed traveling proton waves which induced by blocking mitochondrial respiration with cyanide. These waves were accompanied by network oscillations in pHi. During the observation period (3-22 day in vitro (DIV)), most of the observed cells showed a biphasic response which are characterized by an initial acid shift and subsequent alkalinization. It was during this alkalinization period that concomitant waves and network oscillations could be observed, however, only after 14 DIV. NMDA induced similar changes in pHi except that propagating waves could not be observed. Our results indicate that the energy metabolism of hippocampal cells undergoes age-dependent dynamic instabilities leading to the formation of traveling proton waves.

State Sen. Daylin Leach knows that Pennsylvania is pretty conservative on social issues.
"I say jokingly we'll get same-sex marriage three weeks after Mississippi gets it," he said in an interview Thursday.
Yet the Montgomery County Democrat is seeking to legalize marijuana - not medical marijuana, but "recreational" marijuana: pot, weed, grass.
"I don't think kids should go to jail for what I did in high school and college," says the 51-year-old Temple University alumnus, lawyer, husband to a psychologist, and father to two children, 11 and 9.
The issue is not just the right to light up. It's the $350 million he says Pennsylvania agencies spend each year to arrest and adjudicate 25,000 people for marijuana offenses, including many whose only crime is "smoking a plant which makes them feel a bit giddy."

In 2011 when it was denied, the news came out at noon and the stock tanked 80-90%. This sell off of 25% does not make sense. If it was denied where is the news? and why only 25%? What if it was approved and ALIM is waiting to release the information and this sell off is an advantage to them and the big investors b/c now they will buy at a 25% drop??
Looks "denied" based on the massive drop
when they announce it...........
ALIM and PSDV announced the UK approval after hours on Sept. 30. Presumably, both will know today but will need to co-ordinate exact timing and wording. I suspect PR execs at ALIM and PSDV are working together today under NDA.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Would the FDA really pre-release this info to anyone including the companies involved? I don't know the procedure. Thanks.
Helpful answer--thanks!
Nobody knows

I have the trail gloves and my wife has the pure gloves and we both like them. I'd say go for it.
Today, I was browsing through Sportchek while my son tried on soccer cleats. I found the new Merrell barefoot shoes, the Glove. There were 2 varieties, a lace-up runner style and a "Mary Jane" style called the Pure Glove, better for work and dressier needs. I tried them both, liked the lace-ups better for feel, but the MaryJanes better for workability. Has anyone had experience with these shoes? Any recommendations for them vs other "barefoot tech" shoes? I tried the VFF's at a marathon race expo last fall and really didn't like them. My poor little toes were stretched to major discomfort in them. I prefer the idea of my toes staying together.
Thanks in advance for any input.
I have the trail gloves and my wife has the pure gloves and we both like them. I'd say go for it.
Ooh, those are cute (the Mary Janes). They're US$90 on the Merrell website.

To Forgive is Divine: Woman Allows Sons Murderer to Move in Next DoorMeredith Carroll
If it's human to err and divine to forgive, a mother who has forgiven her son's murderer must be really, really divine.
Laramiun Byrd was just 20 when he was shot to death in 1993 during an argument at a party in North Minneapolis. His killer, Oshea Israel, was just 16. He spent 17 years in prison before being released recently.
He has since moved back to his old neighborhood and next door to Laramiun's mother, Mary Johnson.
"He was an animal. He deserved to be caged," Mary told CBS News.
A few years before he was released, however, she asked if she could meet the man who tool the life of her only child at Minnesota's Stillwater prison. Mary is a devout Christian and wanted to see if she could find a way to forgive Oshea.
According to Oshea, they met regularly in prison after the first meeting when she had said to him, "Look, you don't know me. I don't know you. Let's just start with right now."
When he was released from prison, she introduced Oshea to her landlord and with Mary's approval, he moved in to the building next door, and they remain emotionally close as well as physically close.
She credits God with her ability to forgive.
"Unforgiveness is like cancer," Mary says. "It will eat you from the inside out. It's not about that other person, me forgiving him does not diminish what he's done. Yes, he murdered my son – but the forgiveness is for me. It's for me."
Oshea, on the other hand, says he hasn't totally forgiven himself and is working to improve and forgive himself. He works a day job at a recycling plant and attends college at night. And he travels to prisons and churches to talk about Mary and forgivenesss
"A conversation can take you a long way," Oshea said to one group.
If Mary Johnson doesn't inspire you to let a grudge go today, then I don't know what will.

Darwin meets Dilbert: Applying the Law of Two Feet to your next meeting | Opensource.com
Darwin meets Dilbert: Applying the Law of Two Feet to your next meeting
I came across an interesting concept recently: the Law of Two Feet. Brilliantly simple, it says any time you're in a meeting where you're not contributing nor adding value--you are encouraged to use your two feet and find a place where you can. In other words, if it's not meaningful, and you're not doing your part to make it meaningful, move on.
The concept was first introduced to me in the Fedora Project wiki. The Fedora marketing organization holds regular meetings, mostly by online chat, and they publish notes on the wiki. Their meeting guidelines mentions the Law of Two feet and asks contributors to use their best judgment in which meetings they choose whether or not to attend.
This a subtle but effective example of the open source way in action. In the open source development model, the best projects get the most attention and resources. This happens organically. The others simply fall away over time or are absorbed into other projects. The Law of Two Feet applies a similar principle to meetings. Think Dilbert meets Darwin.
Some weeks my meeting calendar looks like a game of Tetris where I'm just about to lose. So when I read the Law of Two Feet, the idea stuck. I thought I'd dig deeper.
The Law of Two Feet concept was published in an article by Harrison Owen, a member of an organization advocating Open Spaces Technology, a model for organizing meetings that's based around open participation. Here's how Owen describes the rule:
"Briefly stated, this law says that every individual has two feet, and must be prepared to use them. Responsibility for a successful outcome in any Open Space Event resides with exactly one person—each participant. Individuals can make a difference and must make a difference. If that is not true in a given situation, they, and they alone, must take responsibility to use their two feet, and move to a new place where they can make a difference."
The beauty of the law is that it allows people to self-select. The projects that are most compelling—and that people are most passionate about—will be the ones that win people's time and effort.
We all have standing meetings. Most are necessary and can't be avoided. Adopting this rule in a corporate environment would no doubt take some time. But the reality is projects that have the greatest chance for success are going to be the ones with the most engaged, active participants. Giving people the opportunity to vote with their feet may help you, and them, find the most worthy projects faster. By canceling a standing meeting that's outgrown its usefulness, you may have saved yourself a lot of time that you could have spent on something more productive.
And here's the other benefit: People feed on purpose and autonomy. Daniel Pink, Gary Hamel, and a host of other leading business thinkers tell us this. When people feel engaged, have some freedom to choose, and feel like they're working toward a larger purpose, they'll be more willing to jump in. If not, they may be better off finding a place where they can.
Of course, not every project is exciting. And some projects just need to be done. Some meetings, too. And even for those meetings, the Law of Two Feet still offers accountability. And not just to the person who called the meeting. Every person has the responsibility to make it matter.
Perhaps Dr. Suess said it best:
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose."
The underlying principle at work is at the core of the open source way. Transfer accountability to others and you just may discover that when people are willing to put in additional time and effort for projects they believe in, they'll find creative solutions that help you do the mandatory work faster, smarter, or in ways you've never considered. Which may just mean fewer meetings.
What do you think? Could this rule work in your organization?

We tried and I was enthousiastic at first. But it also seemed that to too many meetings too few people came to come to desicions that need a broad support in the whole team. So only small desicions could be made. So few people felt an incentive to come. So less meetings were helt... Sounds great of course ;)
If our projects were more modular or 'stand alone' this would work, but they hardly ever are. So attendence to meetings where your contribution is small, seemed more needed then we thought.
It's an opportunity to use the "if I don't hear, I'll figure you've approved", or "absence from the meeting will be accepted as approval" and just go! Always make sure you're letting them know in writing with an explanation of the business reasons and you'll be golden.
I'm not sure whether to respond with "I wish I worked where you do" or with "It doesn't work that way in the real world." I've worked plenty of places where if you exercised the rule of two feet, you'd be encouraged to use those two feet right on out the door.
I've spent far too many hours in meetings listening to discussions on projects I've never been involved in but have to stay there for when the one project I was involved in came up for discussion.
I think for two feet to work the managers have to schedule more shorter 'project specific' meetings and less long and boring 'whole of department, discuss every project' type meetings.
If you walk away from a meeting with your peers or managers, no matter how insignificant it may be, you may be asked to just keep walking. It is true that in many cases many people use meetings to justify their useless positions, and those are the same ones that will complain that you're not a team player because you don't go to their meetings. Of course they forget that once the meeting ends, their work is finished, while our work just starts. So one way to prevent that from happening is to actually block your calendar with your own work responsibilities and meet only when you don't have something else to do. Then they may need to meet you according to your possibilities (and you can just say that they're not cooperating and they're not a team player since they can't meet when you're ready).. :)
I wish it could work this way, but meeting attendance for this $randomuser$ is more about stopping the wrong decisions from being implemented by the clueless.
Which you could read to mean, they are all wrong and I am right - which doesn't really help the argument.
I'd like to think that I try and balance our users and their customer's needs (as a sysadmin) and that management make demands which lie somewhere between 'not unreasonable' and 'brain-addled'.
But you could read this entire comment and come to the conclusion that I'm a jobsworth luddite unwilling to embrace change,
I humbly suggest that there needs to be some modifier in the original point which steers the population of the group away from those who are able to make a splash by initiating a project and then moving away from it. to those who have the most to gain by completing said project to the best satisfaction of all concerned.
If my contribution is going to be small, I just dial-in to the meeting and can carry on with my work until I'm needed.
Being able to contribute to a meeting is only one of two reasons to attend (For me at least).
There's one meeting that I regularly go to where I rarely have anything to add. However, I learn a great deal about things that help me in my job.
In many ways this is the most useful meeting I attend and while I don't contribute, my attendance is of great value to the company.
That being said, this rule is still very useful, you just have to be mindful of exceptions.
This law (it's the only law) is a small part of a process called Open Space Technology, which accepts the fact the the Universe is self organising and if we as individuals or organisations, step back a little then self organising does it's work and then we can put the necessary structure around it.
Harrison Owen has written a few books on the subject, but one entitled Wave Riders might be of interest to those who are interested in change or organisational management.
Just using the law of two feet without understanding the underlying concept is a bit like using the steering wheel of a car without the rest of the vehicle, you can go through the motions and say brmmm brmmm but just end up with aching arms from holding the wheel
John Cleese has a very funny and basic instructional video called, "Meetings Bloody Meetings." It's at least 24 years old with thick English accents so not used much. It makes several points. The most notable: if there's nothing to discuss why is there a meeting?
Meetings are useful when a problem needs to be resolved or a decision made and the combined expertise of the people in the room are necessary to achieve that goal. Some meetings are useful for sharing information.
I think that the Law of Two Feet an be used in an organizational climate that encourages individual contribution, autonomy and accountability. In organizations driven by power - where people jealously guard territory (information) and hierarchies are enforced - the Law of Two Feet simply can't work. Most of the people commenting on this blog are in power organizations.
The Law of Two Feet belongs in context, as freoboy says
Check out Wave Rider.
I love this! When I developed Open Space Technology (OST) some 25 years ago, The Law of Two Feet was something like a blinding flash of the obvious. We all do it albeit sometimes covertly. Just think of the last time you were in a totally boring gathering and ask yourself: "Where was your heart and mind?" Typical answer: Not present. Could be out on the beach, gone fishing, thinking of the next project -- but definitely not there. Only an uncomfortable body remains stuck in a chair -- maybe even snoring. How much better for all if you just went and did something useful!
Just for the record, OST has been around for 25 years. It is a simple approach which enables groups of people (5-2500) to substantively engage complex and conflicted issues in a productive fashion. Uses have ranged from redesigning data centers at Microsoft to creating the manufacturing process for doors on Boeing aircraft to name just two. It has been used in excess of 200,000 times in 136 countries. Not exactly new.
OST is simple to do and it is free (no patent/trademark/franchise. If interested, there is plenty of stuff online -- just Google. Or you could read a book. "Open Space Technology: A User's Guide" 3rd Edition (Barrett-Koehler 2008) Yes I wrote it :-)
I found out about this concept earlier this year and did a one day training course then found a mentor and have been running meetings using this for the last couple of months. All I can say is that if want to work with people who are happy, inspired and empowered then this is a fantastic tool. My mission in life is to inspire people into action and this helps me do just that.
I know I am a contrarian and possibly a heretic. But I don't think we have any choice -- about self-organization, that is. As near as I can figure, self organization has been the order of the day for some 13.7 billion years in this cosmos. Choosing self organization might then be compared to choosing gravity. Not much of a choice. But we can make a choice to get with the program -- or not. In this regard our 25 year, 200,000 iteration natural experiment in Open Space could be helpful. Clearly not the only way to go but it has and does work. We have learned that given certain very simple preconditions and following a very simple process the natural powers of self organization simply take over and the groups of people involved find themselves performing at levels most would have thought to be impossible. The preconditions are 1) A real issue of passionate concern to the people involved. 2) Lots of complexity. 3) Lots of diversity. 4) Plenty of passion and conflict. 5) A decision time of yesterday. And the process? Sit in a circle. Create a bulletin board for the issues. Open a Market place to negotiate time and place of meeting. Go to work. That is all there is, and it takes a little more than an hour to initiate even with groups of 2000. Works every time.
Outrageous I know.. But that has been our experience.

Most people have heard a band or musician play a cover of a beloved song that makes us feel as if we are hearing it for the first time. Small changes can show give songs new life and meaning. A song whose details are changed but which still retains its original base is called a variation, and this will be the focus of the Williamsport Symphony Orchestra's May 13 Concert, "Variations on a Theme."
Variation is "one of the earliest forms in music," according to Maestro Gerardo Edelstein, WSO conductor. The core of the song remains the same, but musicians will make changes or additions to give the piece a different feel. Another form of variation involves riffing on a theme.
"A lot of composers write variations on a given theme," Edelstein said, citing Mozart and Bach as examples.
Article Photos
"Jazz music is a lot about theme and variation," because players improvise "on a specific harmonic structure," he added.
The concert, which is the last for the WSO season, will feature four pieces, with two featuring the Williamsport Youth Symphony Orchestra and one featuring guest soloist and Williamsport native Jeff Thayer, a violinist and concertmaster for the San Diego Symphony.
Thayer's father, Fred Thayer, is a former choral director at Lycoming College; his mother, Pat Thayer, was instrumental in ensuring education for young violinists in the Williamsport area. Thayer begin violin lessons with his mother at age 3 and studied at the Conservatori Superior in Cordoba, Spain, at 14. He has performed as guest soloist for more than 12 orchestras and in a number of festivals. He is concertmaster and a faculty member of the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, California.
"It's very special to be going back home to perform with the symphony," Thayer said in an email interview. "I have had some sort of connection to the Williamsport Symphony since I was a young boy, at first through my mother performing as both an oboist and as a violinist, and then as a member of the violin section for part of my time in high school. I'm honored to be going back to be the soloist again."
Thayer will perform Bela Bartok's "Violin Concerto No. 2."
"It's considered one of the most important violin concertos of the century," Edelstein said.
The piece was written in 1938 and mixes traditional and Avant-garde styles.
"Bartok uses lots of melodies in the Hungarian folk style," Edelstein said. The mixture of these with the pieces that feel modern make the piece a variation.
Thayer said the song also contains variation in its form.
"Bartok's second violin (concerto) is deceptive in its theme and variation context. (Bartok's) friend, Zoltan Szekely, for whom it was written, asked him to write a standard three-movement concerto. Bartok, however, wanting to write the concerto in theme and variation format, satisfied both Szekely as well as his own ambitions by combining both ideas. The second movement is in fact a theme with six variations, and the third movement is all variations of the same material that he used in the first movement. Not only is this solution very clever, but it makes this exciting and colorful concerto even more brilliant when these layers of complexity are revealed and understood," Thayer said.
The audience will get another taste of variations from the works of Aaron Copland; two of Copland's songs will be performed by the WSO together with the Williamsport Youth Symphony Orchestra (WYSO).
"The students will sit with the orchestra, spread throughout the orchestra," Edelstein. The two songs to be performed are "Variations on a Shaker Melody," from "Appalachian Spring," and "Hoe-Down," from "Rodeo."
"The music is very appealing. It's based on folk songs," Edelstein said.
The sole work following the concert intermission contains the most defined variations. "Variations on an Original Theme for Orchestra ('Enigma'), Op. 36" by Edward Elgar is divided into numbered movements, with each movement written for a person the composer knew. Edelstein said Elgar wanted to portray his loved ones through music and chose 14 people, starting with his wife and ending with himself.
"Every variation represents a friend or somebody he knew very well, and he wanted to portray them in music," Edelstein said. Originally the movements each were paired with initials, so listeners didn't know who they referred to. The mystery deepened when Elgar revealed that all the people represented in the piece have one thing in common, but he kept mum on the common denominator.
"Because he took the mystery to his grave, nobody is able to unscramble the puzzle," Edelstein said. "We'll probably never find out (what everyone has in common)."

What if interviewer says they will call for a second interview?
Answer: that means there is someone else that they are considering as well and can't decide. or it means that they want a second opinion from a colleage, could be that it just their policy. you could wait a day or two for the call but me personally i would call them and inquire about the second interview
They will call you if they want a 2nd interview.
they may or may not call - keep looking, but good luck
Then you wait for the second interview call.
It's a good sign when they say they want to call you back for a second interview - it means you've made the initial cut.
Doesn't mean anything..just means they are unsure but its a possiblity they may choose you if no one better comes along.
Don't hold your breath!
Have a chance that you hired.
It means he's hot for you. Don't miss that interview if you want the job! And remember to "dress" apporpriately for the "second interview".
Please award Best Answer points to me right now because I do not like to wait, and I am already impatient with you. You already recognize the deep wisdom and unassailable eternal truth of my answer, so just get it over with and award the points to me RIGHT NOW!
THEY must of loved the first one.
Call them back. I am a manager so I know what we mean when we said that 'we' will call 'you' back.
This usually means that they are interested but there are other applicants that may be better qualified... they have to interview them first and then MAYBE get back to you
Some Companies, like Wall-Mart, have three interviews before you are "hired", so, if you are on the second one, then hope for the third, or maybe the second will do.
Either way you are an "interest" to them. They have to check you out, (back ground check with the Police Department), and then they will see what comes up after that.
I wish you well..
I have been told that by two different jobs. One job called the other didnt. It's a 50/50 thing.
Try these websites:
Great ways to make extra money!
I have had that happen. They did call me back for a second interview. But I didn't get passed that one. It probably means there are a lot of applicants and they may forget who you were. All they remember is they like you.
If they said they would call for a 2nd interview, they more than likely will. If they said they'll be in touch... who knows then. Most interviewers don't like to cause any conflict, so they'll be nice and say they'll be in contact, and then don't. I would call about a week after your 1st interview to check on the status of the position. Also, don't forget to send a thank you card/letter immediately following your 1st interview. It is a nice touch and it helps them to not forget about you. It also shows interest.
he wants you to show cleavage next time
It means they are not interested in you but they dont want to break your heart
most of the time it means that you're not what they're looking for and this is their way of "telling" you up front about it. chances are slim they'll call but then again you never know. in my experience though it usually means that they are still looking for someone else or they are looking for someone more qualified than you.
"Second interviews vary with each company. Since you are going to meet with different people, you can expect to be asked some of the same questions, beginning with "Tell me about yourself, or "Walk me through your resume." Do we like you – are you going to fit in?" (More of this article in the first link below.)

According to its website, Oaks Christian of Westlake Village's full-year tuition is $28,662.
Tuition at Alemany of Mission Hills is about $9,000.
Public schools cost nothing.
Yet there's a thinking that a better ticket to playing sports in college and beyond is through private schools.
Is it true?
There's the old saying that if you're good enough, no matter where you play, they will find you.
Even those at private schools will say that.
But there are advantages and disadvantages to playing sports at both.
And in the Santa Clarita Valley, there's been no bigger battle waged than from the public schools decrying that the private schools are taking area students for athletic gain.
Alemany Principal, city of Santa Clarita City Councilman since 1998 and father of Valencia High graduates Frank Ferry said those are misconceptions about his school.
He said his school does offer things that public schools don't, yet his school stresses academics first.
"Will you be seen maybe more if you're a gifted athlete? Do you want to compete against the best in their eyes week after week after week? But I'm very clear, you're one injury away. Some might lose passion for the sport. Find an interest in something else as well," Ferry said. "Even at Alemany, where there's this perception that you have to be a great athlete, very few move on to play in college. Parents push so hard. It's unrealistic for them to think they're going to play NCAA Division I."
For many people, the private schools offer the opportunity to play in more high profile games, which attracts more media attention, which attracts more professional and private scouts.
However, every single Foothill League program in the Santa Clarita Valley has sent an athlete to play for an NCAA Division I (Football Bowl Subdivision) school, has had an athlete selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, and has sent a softball player to an NCAA Division I school.
The Signal reported in July that 124 athletes who graduated from the Foothill League schools in 2013 will be playing intercollegiate sports at the four-year level.
"No, I don't think so," said Valencia head coach Larry Muir on if kids have an advantage of playing sports at private schools.
And from time to time, he'll even get kids from private schools.
Other coaches from the Santa Clarita valley were adamantly in agreement, including Canyon High athletic director and former boys head basketball coach Chad Phillips.
"No. I'm blunt about that answer. There's not a big difference there," Phillips said of playing at public or private schools. "I could see the amount of exposure (private school) kids get and they might flock to them. But we are so enclosed in this valley with great competition. And this valley, related to education, I'm highly trained in what I do as a teacher. I would hope you put faith in my ability to educate your son or daughter."
Many private schools do offer smaller classrooms, though.
Other advantages, Ferry points out, is the broad section of sports they offer — which include wrestling and water polo, sports not offered at Foothill League schools.
The pressure to fundraise might not be as much at private schools either.
As The Signal has learned from coaches around the SCV, parents in some sports are asked, not required to, bring in as much as $1,000 to a program (which The Signal has also learned is vital for local high school programs to operate).
However, private schools can charge kids to play sports, where public schools, by law, are not allowed to.
Thus, the local public schools fundraise, ask for donations or a combination of the two.
The Santa Clarita Valley has two private high schools that offer CIF sports — Santa Clarita Christian and Trinity Classical Academy.
Trinity's tuition for high school students is $11,770 and SCCS's is $7,850.
Both schools will admit they aren't on par with the Oaks Christians and Alemanys of this world.
But Wally Caddow, the co-founder and managing director of Trinity, said he'd like for his school to eventually be on par with those private schools athletically.
But not at the expense of academics.
"I think the real draw (to our school) is our academics," he said. "We always tell people, a number of people over the summer were coming from other football teams (to look at our school). I tell them, you have to understand this is an academic institution. When they come to our information meeting, our ideals for the athletic department we talk about are integrity, camaraderie and victory."
A lot of that camaraderie comes from the small numbers of athletes on each team at the schools, as well as SCCS, which offers athletes a better opportunity for playing time.
That's not across the board at private schools, though.
"It's about playing time," Muir said on why some kids return to public schools from private schools. "They won't say it, but at the end of the day it's playing time. They'll go somewhere and think it's one thing and their kid's not playing. 'If I'm spending all that money, why is my kid not playing?'"
The price is a deterrent to some, but many who are paying the money associate a prestige with going to the school.
That's another reason why private schools draw in so many people, and the success of the sports programs only serve to market those schools more.
Yet public school critics say some private schools offer athletes better pricing through "scholarships."
Ferry said that is not so.
"There's a fallacy out there," Ferry said about the perception. "Financial assistance is a program that will take students' parents' income, run their social security numbers, income tax forms of moms and dad. Based on that need the (grant and aid assessment report) comes back and tuition is (on financial factors)."
Caddow said his school would never offer aid based on athletic ability.
"We will never do that. We will never offer athletic scholarships," Caddow said. "It's detrimental to our culture. The only way we help families is with needs based tuition. We've been approached many times — 'My kid's a star at his school. Can you help him with tuition?' We love athletics. My wife and I were both athletes. We will never let the tail wag the dog. We will never compromise what we're doing."
So what direction is more bang for the buck?
It's really in the eye of the beholder.
There are arguments for both.

The Kern County car dealership that ran a radio ad blasting the godless is itself under attack, with critics wondering just how stupid a country-bumpkin Christian could be to dismiss 14 percent of his customer base (actually atheists account for between 3 percent and 10 percent of the U.S. population). But, in fact, Kieffe and Sons employed a tried-and-true marketing approach in this ad:
"Did you know that there are people in this country who want prayer out of schools, "Under God" out of the Pledge, and "In God We Trust" to be taken off our money?
"But did you know that 86 percent of Americans say they believe in God? Now, since we all know that 86 out of every 100 of us are Christians who believe in God, we at Kieffe and Sons Ford wonder why we don't just tell the other 14 percent to sit down and shut up.
"I guess maybe I just offended 14 percent of the people who are listening to this message. Well, if that is the case, then I say that's tough; this is America, folks—it's called free speech. And none of us at Kieffe and Sons Ford are afraid to speak up. Kieffe and Sons Ford on Sierra Highway in Mojave and Rosamond: if we don't see you today, by the grace of God, we'll be here tomorrow."
Rick Kieffe is backpedaling now, which should be no surprise, saying that he can't recall approving the ad. That's inconsequential: Kieffe and Sons Ford has already garnered international attention and, no doubt, built some serious rapport with folks who want to support this perceptively righteous battle.
Just another strange story from Kern County.
My wife hails from Bakersfield, and before I visited I always assumed it was a backward place. Having read "Mean Justice" and the "Lords of Bakersfield" series, which discussed at length a district attorney, Ed Jagels, who built his career prosecuting child-molestation rings that imprisoned dozens but never actually existed, who would disagree?
In fact, it's a pretty decent place, a blazing hot suburb of nowhere, surrounded by the hilariously named Pumpkin Center and Weed Patch. (Disclosure: My mother-in-law has long been involved with the Chamber of Commerce and I am the owner of a coffee mug that states, "Bakersfield—Life as it should be.")
