Information assurance has been a hot topic in the tech industry as high-profile data breaches reveal that many companies aren't as secure as leaders may have thought. The cost of a breach can have significant financial consequences, as Symantec's 2011 U.S. Cost of a Data Breach Study revealed. In interviewing 400 IT and compliance professionals, researchers found that the average organizational cost per data breach was US$5.5 million even after they had eliminated catastrophic incidents—those that involved more than 100,000 records—from the results. In addition, the average cost per record compromised was US$194.
Symantec's analysts focused on data security incidents noted that malicious attacks, system glitches and device theft resulted in a majority of the breaches they analyzed. However, it is easy to imagine additional risk for data center operators, particularly as information volumes increase. For example, Seagate estimates 50,000 hard drives leave data centers on a daily basis. These disks may contain anything from corporate intellectual property to private employee and customer data. Traditional device wipe methods are not only time consuming, but they may also be ineffective at completely protecting sensitive information, particularly since one stripe with remaining data could include hundreds of Social Security numbers, names and addresses.
The risk will only grow as capacities increase, as any single mistake can leave numerous sensitive records vulnerable. Once the hardware leaves the data center, it leaves the control of the operator, and failing to erase just a few stripes' worth of stored data could mean as many as 1000 compromised records. Going by Symantec's numbers, that would translate costs close to US$200,000 just from a single, comparatively small incident.
There are a few notable problems with many common drive retirement practices. Although not all of them are related to information security, many still result in excess cost. For example, companies that decide to repurpose their hardware may choose to overwrite the data rather than erase it completely. The process itself is expensive, but will also open the potential for data security vulnerabilities. Reallocated sectors are not covered in the overwrite process, meaning that some old information will remain on the drive.
Degaussing and physically shredding the drive are other options. Degaussing can yield mixed results, particularly when considering different drives require unique optimal degauss strengths. This often results in readable data being left on the drive. There is also the option to hire professional disposal services to destroy the drive, but this creates more points of vulnerability since there are more people handling the data. Total costs could increase dramatically when considering the need to publish internal reports and any auditing fees.
Seagate Instant Secure Erase (ISE) is designed to make it easy for managers to protect sensitive data. In addition to encrypting information automatically so that it is also protected while the hardware is still in use, ISE allows the owner to simply send a command to the drive to change the encryption key so that even if information is recoverable, it would be unusable to an outside entity. This eliminates the need to go through the expensive overwriting process and maintains the integrity of the drive for warranty or lease returns.
The Seagate ISE process can be initiated in several different ways. Seagate SeaTools™ for Windows is available for free and can also diagnose internal and external storage devices. However, ISE also supports third-party solutions such as Trusted Computing Group (TCG) compliant RAID controllers from LSI and Intel and integration with software developed in-house using an SDK from Seagate.

Vancouver 0 – Los Angeles 2 (Donovan, Sarvas)
The L.A. Galaxy used two first half goals from Landon Donovan and Marcelo Sarvas to secure a 2-0 win Saturday evening at the Stubhub center. This match saw the Whitecaps debut of both Kendall Waston and Mauro Rosales, while Johnny Leveron earned a dubious red card at the end of the match for a foul on Alan Gordon, a card which could be recinded if the MLS decides to take a further look at it.
The Vancouver Whitecaps returned to Los Angeles, this time to face to L.A. Galaxy at the Stubhub center Saturday night. Head Coach Carl Robinson was forced to make some changes with Matias Laba suspended for yellow card accumulation and Gershon Koffie out with an ankle injury. New acquisitions Kendall Waston and Mauro Rosales started on the bench, while Russell Teibert and Mehdi Ballouchy started in defensive midfield.
The Whitecaps' plans were seemingly undone early as Landon Donovan scored in the 5th minute to give the Galaxy and early 1-0 lead.
On 32 minutes, after soaking up some Whitecaps pressure, the Galaxy scored again after pinging the ball around the box, Robbie Keane's excuse me touch to Marcelo Sarvas enabled the midfielder to slot past David Ousted to give the Galaxy a 2-0 lead.
The Galaxy took a 2-0 lead into the half, and Mauro Rosales would come on at half time for Sebastian Fernandez making his Whitecaps debut.
The L.A. Galaxy almost made it 3-0 off a corner kick as the ball made its way towards the Whitecaps goal, but Pedro Morales cleared off the line to keep the match at 2-0.
In the 66th minute Erik Hurtado came in for Medhi Ballouchy as the Whitecaps looked to claw a goal back.
In the 78th minute Kendall Waston made his MLS debut coming in for Kekuta Manneh, and going up front in a forwards role with the Whitecaps looking to play long for the 6'5″ player.
At the end of the match Johnny Leveron earned a straight red card for a foul on Alan Gordon, a very harsh call on a foul that was not rough at all. The match itself was not very rough but somehow six yellow cards were given out in addition to Leveron's red card.
In stoppage time Robbie Keane's shot was deflected by David Ousted and off the crossbar to keep the match at 2-0.
The match would end 2-0 as the Whitecaps stay put in the MLS Western Conference standings, holding the 5th and final playoff spot. The Whitecaps return home to face the Portland Timbers next weekend.

Although the agency is getting up to speed, Iraqis are increasingly taking matters into their own hands.
Many cities are appointing, or electing, their own councils. Religious leaders are providing municipal services, running hospitals, even providing protection to neighbourhoods.
The more entrenched these systems become, the more likely it is that when the reconstruction agency is ready to move in, it will be up against those who have assumed authority.
The agency is headed by retired Lieutenant-General Jay Garner, and staffed by American and British technocrats charged with jump-starting the economy and shaping a new government.
Everything has to be done from scratch.
What officials expected when they arrived in Baghdad is unclear, but the reconstruction agency is coming to terms with a mammoth task.

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles will be without the anchor of their offensive line for at least a month and possibly for the rest of the season.
Center Jason Kelce will miss at least 4-6 weeks after suffering a torn medial collateral ligament and partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a 24-23 victory over Baltimore on Sunday.
Eagles head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder explained that Kelce will undergo an arthoscopic procedure today in which orthopedic specialist Dr. Peter DeLuca will determine the extent of the damage to the ACL. If the tear is not too severe, it is possible he could be fitted with a brace and play again this season once his completely torn MCL heals. The other option would be for Kelce to have reconstructive surgery, which would sideline him for the rest of the season.
"We'll share this information with other sports medicine experts around the country, some of the physicians in the National Football League, and then we'll have a better idea of the treatment plan," Burkholder said Monday. "As far as we can tell right now, it's a mixed bag. Some people get it fixed right away and other people just let the MCL heal and play with the partial (tear of the ACL)."
Kelce, a sixth-round draft pick in 2011, started every game last season and was considered a potential Pro Bowler this year. He was hurt in the third quarter against the Ravens when safety Ed Reed hit his leg.
Former practice squad member Dallas Reynolds replaced him and played well. He was on the field for the Eagles' final two touchdowns, including quarterback Michael Vick's 1-yard run with 1 minute, 55 seconds left in regulation.
Reynolds make his first career start for next Sunday's game against the Cardinals in Arizona and for the foreseeable future.
"Dallas did everything that Jason was doing with the calls," Eagles coach Andy Reid said Monday. "He's a smart kid. He had a big challenge (against the Ravens), literally, physically and mentally, but he held his own there. He played good, solid football.
"His situation is one of the good stories in this game. He has an opportunity now and he's got to make sure he handles it the right way and continues to work hard. You don't forget what got you there."
It took a while for Reynolds to get there.
The 28-year-old signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent out of Brigham Young University, Reid's alma mater, in 2009 and then spent three seasons on the practice squad. The Eagles promoted him to the active roster for one game as a rookie but he was deactivated. Because players are limited to three years on an NFL practice squad, Reynolds had to either make the active roster this season or get released.
"(Giving up football) was something that plays on your mind from time to time, but it wasn't something I really thought about," Reynolds said Monday. "I just focused on trying to get better and doing my best every day."
Sunday's game marked the first time he had played center in a regular-season game on any level. Like his older brother Lance, Jr. and younger brothers Matt and Houston, he was a tackle at Timpview High School in Provo, Utah, and at BYU. Lance Jr. spent some time with the Seattle Seahawks, Matt is on the Eagles' practice squad and Houston is a junior at BYU. Their father, Lance, is an assistant coach at BYU, where he also coached Reid.
Since the preseason ended, Dallas Reynolds had served as the center on the scout team, running the opposing team's offensive plays against the Eagles' defense in practice. But he still studied the Eagles' playbook and paid attention in position meetings just in case he was called upon.
"(Replacing Kelce on short notice) was as tough as I thought it was going to be," Reynolds said. "I think it helped that I really didn't have time to think about it. There were a few butterflies, but I didn't have time to be nervous. I took a few practice snaps and then I was in the huddle."
The Eagles are expected to sign another center. Steve Vallos and Julian Vandervelde, who were with the Eagles during training camp and the preseason, are the leading candidates. They could also call Jamaal Jackson, who is now a free agent after spending nine seasons (2003-2011) with the Eagles. He was Kelce's backup last season.
But whomever they sign will be Reynolds' backup. Reynolds will be the starter as long as Kelce is sidelined.
"I've been looking forward to this moment for a long time," said Reynolds, who is married (Suzanne) and has a 2-year-old daughter (Sharae). "I'm excited about this opportunity."
Extra points: Safety Nate Allen (shoulder contusion), safety Colt Anderson (hyperextended knee), defensive end Jason Babin (abdominal strain), tackle King Dunlap (strained hamstring) and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (hip contusion) were hurt against the Ravens. Dunlap and Maclin are not expected to practice Wednesday. If Dunlap cannot play against the Cardinals, Demetress Bell will start at left tackle against the Cardinals.
Six of the Eagles' defensive backs — Anderson, Brandon Boykin, Kurt Coleman, Curtis Marsh, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, David Sims — will attend the ConKerr Cancer's pajama party today at 6 p.m. at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The players will wear their pajamas and help children on the Oncology floor sew pillowcases at the Ronald McDonald Family Room at CHOP.

Supporting turns on shows like the BBC's Peep Show have been the meat of Dolly Wells's estimable career, but she's never been what you might call "a name," unlike Emily Mortimer, her real-life best friend since childhood. The chasm that exists between being a working actress and being a household name is central to the drama of Doll & Em, the six-part comedy of discomfort that the two actresses have created in collaboration with writer-director Azazel Jacobs. But it's certainly not a limiter on the grand comic contemplations about fame, age, and creativity that the triptych deftly juggles here.
As one might assume from the title, Wells and Mortimer play fictionalized versions of themselves, a creative decision that echoes Jacobs's choice to have his own parents essentially play themselves in Momma's Man. Following a devastating breakup, Dolly takes up her friend's offer to fly out to Los Angeles and work as her assistant, which is to say she's paid to serve and manage Emily's day-to-day life, an incongruous way of being for a true friend. It's a role that Dolly is uniquely unqualified for, and many of the show's extended bouts of flagrant self-involvement emerge from Dolly breaking from the character Emily creates for her. The longer Dolly stays in L.A., looking after Emily during the production of her latest film ("The Godfather with women"), the more she defers to a natural, mostly respectful competitiveness that characterizes her long friendship with Emily.
The chasm that exists between being a working actress and being a household name is central to the drama.
The penny drops when, while filming a funeral scene in which Dolly is asked to serve as an extra, Emily's director, Mike (Aaron Himelsetein), pushes past his star, who's incapable of crying on cue, to focus on her balling bestie, whose father has recently passed away. The element of motivation and inspiration in performance is something Jacobs and his leads consistently circle back to, and Emily's quiet sadness is that she really has nothing to draw on for her performance. And yet, the series's creators are careful to show how mercilessly fame corrupts and makes a fool out of seemingly level-headed Dolly as much as it's zapped Emily of any thrill she gets from her craft.
Following her big scene, Dolly gets chummy with John Cusack while also managing a fling with Emily's producer (Jonathan Cake) and feeling out a deal with her agent (Vicki Lewis). Cusack is funny and charming, but the best cameo goes to Susan Sarandon, who forces Dolly to apologize to her son after a game that involves jumping over imaginary sharks spurns an emotional breakdown. The Holly-weird ribbing is direct but never mean-spirited, and the show's view of performance as a high that feeds off of emotional volatility, stress, and uncertainty, and subsequently turns into an all-consuming addiction, is wiser and more curious when it comes to the impulse of performance than the last three-dozen or so burn-Hollywood-burn "satires."
Doll & Em turns out to be unerringly fair-minded in its view of popular filmmaking, if only because concerns about Hollywood's shallowness are secondary to ideas of age and, inevitably, death. Dolly's recent experience with her father's death is what enables her to cry, to express without pretense, while Emily, a happily married mother of two and a celebrated character actress, can only find in herself to bemoan the closing of a childhood bookshop she hasn't gone to in years. When Emily and her family visit England, the actress is seen as an outsider, an expatriate window-shopping for what first drove her to do what she now does without even thinking, or maybe even feeling. At one crucial moment, Emily is put into age make-up, which she continuously remarks makes her look 80 while the character she's playing is only in her 60s. The creators throw shade at Hollywood's fear of age, but it's one they recognize as universal, and not entirely without its special sort of utility. After all, comfort kills ambition in Doll & Em, and the very pulse of life seems to go with it.

Hyundai's i30 is the Korean brand's biggest seller, and key to consolidating a podium position on NZ's sales charts.
What's new
Most obviously a handsome new design, it stops the right side of the OTT aesthetic the brand has recently favoured.
This second-generation car is based on a modified Elantra platform, albeit with a different wheelbase. It's 55mm longer than before, slightly wider yet lower to the ground, for sleeker lines and a more planted stance. Space up front has benefited, though rear passengers get marginally less room, while boot space has risen 38 litres to 378, despite provision of a full-size spare wheel.
The 1.6-litre diesel gets a power boost from 85kW to 94, with torque still 260Nm and thirst now claimed at 4.5l/100km for the six-speed manual, or 5.6 for the six-speed auto (we averaged 7).
The 1.8-litre petrol engine that will outsell it replaces the outgoing 2.0, with tweaks to lift power to 110kW and drop thirst to 6.5l/100 (manual) or to 6.9l/100km (auto); we achieved8.1.
The company line
Petrol dominates this segment, thanks to government policy on diesel RUC charges, but Hyundai says diesel will remain in the mix for fleets. An i30 wagon will arrive in entry petrol or diesel format in September, but there will be no 1.6-litre petrol version, to avoid direct competition with Accent.
What we say
Handsome design and solid build quality will give Toyota's soon-to-be-replaced Corolla a run for its money. The petrol i30 opens at $34,500, including stability control and seven airbags, plus Bluetooth and a reverse camera hidden in the rear badge.
Private buyers will prefer its Elite sibling at $39,990, which also gets seat warmers, keyless entry, an electric park brake to liberate more centre console space and the rather nice welcome home feature.
The car detects its key approaching and welcomes you by unfolding the wing mirrors, and lighting the puddle and door handle lamps.
On the road
Thanks to weather-induced travel delays, leg one of our shortened launch drive took place in rain-lashed darkness. But we soon learned to trust the predictable handling delivered by the MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension, while day two's Rimutaka traverse tested the flex steer that lets you alter the steering weighting from light, for round town, to firm during sportier drives. At any setting the steering remains rather uncommunicative, though only the keenest drivers will find cause to complain.
The rest will make good use of the "eco" button that alters engine, auto transmission and air con to cut fuel use by 5.8 per cent.
Plentiful work on door seals and aerodynamic elements has cut wind noise, though the car remains quieter on the 16-inch wheels and higher-profile tyres than on the 17s.
Why you'll buy one?
You want a smart design, quality build and a generous specification list for your mainstream budget.
Why you won't?
You think you're F1 ace Mark Webber; your back seat passengers need more space.

Demand for hospitality packages has taken off as companies and fans look for tickets to the Rugby World Cup final, says Rugby Travel & Hospitality.
Tickets for the final were sold out apart from hospitality packages and some through the official travel programme, which was focused more outside New Zealand.
UK-based Rugby Travel & Hospitality has the exclusive global travel and hospitality rights and has formed a New Zealand company for the tournament. Operations director David White said demand for the final was huge.
"Once people realised that the only place you can get a ticket is from us our demand has really taken off," White said.
Hospitality packages for the final ranged from $1795 plus GST for an individual off-site hospitality option up to $5895 plus GST per person for a corporate box with 16 or 20 seats.
The hospitality flagship Eden Park Pavilion had about 200 tickets left for the final at a cost of $4745 plus GST per person, including four course fine dining.
Construction of the pavilion, with six restaurants and capacity for 3000 fans, was well under way at a cost of about $7 million, White said.
"The basic structure has come from overseas but in terms of the local suppliers we've got the air conditioning, we've got architects, electricians, engineers, plumbers, lighting, AV people," he said.
"There's well over 100 local people and suppliers working on it."
When operating at a full capacity the pavilion would need about 1000 staff, including catering, front of house and security.
The company was on track to sell 15,000 tickets for the pavilion and about 50,000 hospitality packages in total nationwide, White said.
"Typically New Zealanders like to leave things to the last minute ... the last few weeks has been very strong."
Hospitality packages at matches around the country included off-site locations, function rooms at stadiums, corporate boxes and the Eden Park Pavilion, with costs from $395 plus GST.
"We are 40 per cent cheaper than our [hospitality] packages were in France so there's no question it is expensive by New Zealand terms but it's quite reasonable in terms of price for other global events," White said.
About 75-80 per cent of hospitality tickets would be sold to corporate buyers, although high net worth individuals and rugby fans were also buying.
"Obviously it's reasonably tough [economically] out there but people have seen this as a once in a lifetime opportunity," he said.
"We'd like to think that we've got a wide variety of products now that caters for almost every person wanting to go."
Meanwhile, the official travel programme was pretty much complete and had sold 110,000 tickets, with packages including a ticket and travel and/or accommodation.
"We actually originally forecast to sell 70,000 [travel packages] so we're absolutely delighted with the travel programme," White said.
French fans accounted for about 23 per cent of the ticket sales.
White said: "There will be a lot of French here on that big game against the All Blacks."

View PowerPoint presentation highlighting POST's first 50 years of service (27MB)
If you are not able to view PowerPoint slideshows, you may download a Video Version (Caution: large file - 77MB)
Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown signed legislation on July 11, 1959, establishing the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) as a special fund agency to develop and administer selection and training standards for the betterment of California law enforcement.
The legislation was conceived and developed by law enforcement professionals from the California Peace Officers' Association (CPOA), the California State Sheriffs' Association (CSSA), the California Police Chiefs' Association (CPCA), and the Peace Officers' Research Association of California (PORAC). California POST was the first such organization in the U.S. Since then, all states have created similar organizations to improve and professionalize their law enforcement agencies.
For 50 years, our mission at POST has been to continually enhance the professionalism of California law enforcement in serving its communities. Today, approximately 120 employees – some of whom have been employed at POST for 40 years – strive to uphold POST's mission by providing exceptional service to California's law enforcement professionals.
To commemorate 50 years of service to California law enforcement, POST held an Open House on July 21-22, 2009, for law enforcement personnel only. The Open House featured displays of important milestones and projects developed in POST's first 50 years of operation and provided an opportunity to network with our regional consultants. The Open House highlighted past accomplishments, projects under development, and offered a glimpse of what law enforcement professionals, trainers, and visionaries foresee for the next 50 years of law enforcement training.
On the evening of July 22, 2009, POST hosted a reception replete with hors d'oeuvres and a lively program. Invited guests included numerous law enforcement personnel, dignitaries, and staff. Jerry Brown was the keynote speaker, along with various chiefs, sheriffs, and associations who recognized POST for its service to law enforcement.
POST thanks the law enforcement community for its support. We look forward to serving you, our law enforcement constituents, for the next 50 years!

Mud Bogging Event Comes Too Soon For Grieving Family
The place where a young man lost his life Memorial Day weekend held another big event this Labor Day weekend. Three months after 24-year-old Roderic Sparks was stabbed to death during a fight at the Horse Hole Creek Mud Bog in Inglis, the gates were back open to boggers.
The family of Roderic Sparks say their sons death was no accident and believe big events mixed with drinking makes for tragic outcomes. They say it's too soon for the same deadly combination that killed their son, to happen again.
Levy County deputies say a fight broke out between 24-year-old Roderick Sparks and 30-year-old Christopher Sutherlin when Sutherlin threw a beer can at Sparks' truck because he was revving his engine. The two fought in the mud pit until deputies say Sutherlin's 15-year-old son took matters into his own hands. According to deputies, Christopher Sutherlin Jr., stabbed Sparks in the back, killing him.
Sparks' mother Anna says this weekends event came too soon. Sparks says, "he did say he would never hold another large event as large as it was memorial day weekend well this weekend was supposed to be bigger."
There were no reports of any incidents at Horse Hole Creek this weekend. Christopher Sutherlin Jr. is being charged as a juvenile for manslaughter.

Rowan University Library invites all Rowan University students to explore the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf; to read about the diverse histories, practices, and cultures of Muslims in the United States and around the world; and to write a reflective essay.
One essay will be selected as the winning essay. It will be posted on the Library's website and the author will receive a gift certificate for dinner for two at Marrakesh (a Moroccan restaurant in Philadelphia) courtesy of the International Studies Concentration.
- Essays should be 4-6 pages in length and should address one of the four writing prompts listed below.
- You may use MLA, APA, or Chicago style.
- All entries must be submitted to Dr. Glenn Odom (email@example.com ) no later than 5:00 PM on Friday, November 22, 2013.
Writing Prompts
- If the books in the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf inspired you to write something or writing prompts listed below spark other ideas, feel free to write about those topics. The best essay you can write will always be your own essay.
- Many of these books deal with longstanding histories of trade, interconnections, and travel. Consider the ways in which these historical trajectories are still relevant today. In other words, what information, products, or ideas circulate along the same paths outlined in these books? Why is this circulation important to contemporary life? Alternatively, if you do not feel that there is a circulation, explain what factors have limited this circulation and what the costs of this limitation have been.
- Many of these books discuss feeling like an outsider either religiously or ethnically. Consider the ways in which our everyday society contributes to these feelings in others or in yourself. Consider ways in which society could become more inclusive. The books make a point of the daily struggles, which suggests that examples of inclusiveness should be specific, concrete, and immediate rather than broad and vague. Reference the specific types of isolation mentioned in the books. Society can be defined as broadly or as narrowly as you choose – you could focus on the Rowan community, the region, or the nation.
- What place do poetry, fantasy, and fiction have within a larger socio-political discussion (Why include Arabian Nights for instance) --and, specifically, within this context? Many people have argued that we should know something about other cultures. What is it that literature might teach us and why is this cultural knowledge important?
Evaluation Criteria
- Does the essay have a clear connection to the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf?
- Does the essay relate to the contemporary world?
- Does the essay represent the values of inclusivity that are central to our mission as a University?
- Does the essay present original ideas and/or present ideas in a novel way?
- Is the essay well written, with a strong organizational structure, coherent paragraphs, grammatically correct sentences, and appropriate punctuation?

The government move to digitalise policing initially with online general diary has failed to make an impression as most people are unaware of it even a year after its launch.
Most people, who have recently visited police stations to file GDs for snatching, lost documents or other reasons, were found scratching their heads when asked why they did not go for online GDs.
In most cases it turned out that they have never heard of it.
"I visit the police station almost every month to report of stolen goods from my garage," said Ahammad Hossain at Tejgaon police station.
"But no-one at the station informed me that I could file GDs from anywhere," said the owner of a garage in Karwan Bazar.
As many as 2,082 GDs were filed electronically since the online system was introduced in March last year.
On the other hand, 38 police stations in the city received 32,721 handwritten GDs in April alone -- 15 times the number of online GDs recorded so far.
Police say the online general diary system, launched as an e-governance initiative, was intended to make it easier for citizens to file GDs. It meant no longer going to the police station to file a GD for "non-emergency" matters.
Instead, the system has remained merely as a window dressing, according to citizens and experts, who say the police have put little effort to make it attractive and useful.
"It seems the service exists only in name," said Mustafa Jabbar, president of Bangladesh Computer Samity, a national coalition of IT-based organisations. "It is just there without helping anyone, neither people nor the police."
A GD is usually filed for legal or security matters that do not warrant police cases.
Dhaka police stations receive over 35 handwritten GDs a day, compared to some five GDs or so that are filed electronically every month, insiders say.
The statistics came as little surprise to Anirban Ghosh, a Khilgaon resident.
The software engineer tried to file an online GD for his lost office identity card in December.
After losing his ID card, Anirban went home, fired up his computer and logged into the police website to file the GD, which involved filling out an elaborate form with required information.
Everything went well. He received an identification number for collecting a copy of the GD from the police station concerned.
Ten days later he received a call from his local police station.
"They said I did not provide enough information, so I need to visit the station and give a handwritten application instead," said Anirban.
"So here I am to file a GD that could have been taken care of ten days ago had I come here in the first place," he said, adding, "The website is a total waste of time."
Police officers admit the new system is unattractive, clunky and a flop among the citizens.
Speaking on anonymously, a top home ministry official blamed lack of promotion and the slow online process, which ironically is more time consuming than the handwritten process.
It takes days for the electronic diaries to get sorted and sent to the respective police stations, from where the complainants can collect their copies of GD, police sources inform.
"Conversely, you can file your GD and get a copy in five minutes if you go to a police station," commented a duty officer at Dhanmondi Police Station who refused to be named.
Police officers say the website is not user-friendly and does a poor job of instructing the citizens on how to fill out the diary properly. It creates problems for both the police and the complainants.
In October, Tejgaon police received a GD where the description of the incident read: "Dear Sir, Please save me".
The complainant, an alleged stalking victim named Shifa, mentioned the name of the stalker. But she did not provide any contact details or any other information.
The lack of user-friendliness in the website reflects poor efforts and planning from the police, experts observe.
They questioned the police administration's sincerity towards going digital and added that much of the corruption in police would go away with digitalisation.
This could be a reason for the lack of interest in implementing many of their digitalisation initiatives, said a retired police official requesting anonymity.
Home Minister Sahara Khatun during inauguration of the online GD system dubbed it as a part of fulfilling the government's electoral pledge of a "Digital Bangladesh".
If the online general diary system is a reflection of the government fulfilling its dream of "Digital Bangladesh", the country has big things to worry about, Dhaka residents observe.
The government move to digitalise policing initially with online general diary has failed to make an impression as most people are unaware of it even a year after its launch.

Donate Now
We need your help more than ever! Budget cuts from various sources are making it difficult to maintain the current level of quality services. Our programs are supported by the generosity of donors like you!
Your donations help keep our crucial programs going! Our Family Violence Intervention Program was just affected by the government budget cuts. This program is a highly effective program in breaking the cycle of domestic violence. Won't you consider a donation to make sure this program continues? Click on the button below to make a donation and make a real difference in your community.
Compass is seeking to fund renovations for our Domestic Violence Starts Small Child/Adolescent Therapy Program. This effort addresses the emotional and behavioral health of young people who have been scarred by domestic violence and divorce. DVSS addresses all dynamics of domestic violence in families by providing services for child witnesses/victims (ages 5 -17). The goals of our services are to reduce emotional/family problems, prevent the cycle of violence from passing to the next generation, and ultimately to decrease health care and judicial costs in our community. Because of our existing programs and years of expertise, Compass of Carolina is uniquely positioned to address the needs of young people with emotional and behavioral problems.
Children who have witnessed domestic violence are at high risk for depression, anxiety, behavior problems, and poor school performance. Without intervention, their emotional challenges can continue into adulthood and lead to increased difficulties with relationships, employment, and parenting. Child witnesses to domestic violence are particularly vulnerable and are more likely to attempt suicide, act aggressively, abuse drugs, engage in risky sexual behavior, and enter into unhealthy relationships that perpetuate the cycle of violence in the future. They often have low self-esteem and poor socialization skills.
This project includes developing a specific play therapy room including all the equipment, books, supplies, decor and tools required for a therapeutic but child friendly environment. It also includes renovations to our group therapy room such a new technology, upgrading furniture, chairs and décor to create a more suitable therapy setting. Your donation today can make this project a reality!

Clean a cloudy vase
Dear Sara:
I have a small vase that has become cloudy after having water in it. Do you have a remedy for this? I know that you can purchase CLR, but I do not need that much. Thank you. — Carol, Florida
Dear Carol:
You can add dry rice and vinegar and water or a squirt of dishwashing liquid and water and swish the rice around the vase. You can use a baby bottle brush, too. Sometimes, a quick wipe with nail polish remover works. Afterward, wash the vase thoroughly with dish soap and water. You can use a toothbrush and scrub the vase with white toothpaste and rinse. Try a denture tablet such as Efferdent with water, and let the vase soak or rub petroleum jelly inside it and leave it for a few days. Then wash it as usual. Hopefully, one of the above methods will work. But it's possible the vase is permanently etched.
Dear Sara:
I need gift ideas for 20 ladies. At the end of the year (usually early December), before we break for the holiday, my dance class has a little party where we eat a lot of food at a potluck, listen to music, dance a little and exchange small gifts. The gifts are in no way obligatory, but I like to give them and have to buy in quantity. In the past I have given homemade bath salts, small silver pendants, bracelets, and last year I gave earrings. I got them wholesale for about $1 a pair and they were pretty nice. Some of the other girls gave candles, incense and jewelry. I'm looking for new ideas for nice, small gifts that I can buy 20 or 30 at a time without shelling out too much. My budget is about $1.50 per person, a total of about $30. I've looked at eBay and have not come up with much. Prices have gone up, of course! I appreciate any suggestions. — C.H., Missouri
Dear C.H.:
Dollar stores, Target and Michaels all have dollar items. Check Oriental Trading Company, too; it has candy sticks that would be nice bundled as a gift. You can make custom wrappers for candy bars. Create your own by using the retail wrapper as a template or visit classic.kodakgallery.com/jenny/projects/candy_bar_cozies for felt wrappers or visit www.mrprintables.com/printable-candy-bar-wrappers.html for free printable wrappers.
Other options include: notepad/pen set, homemade food gifts such as peppermint bark wrapped in cellophane (visit cbsop.com/recipes/peppermint-bark-hearts or www.joyofbaking.com/candy/PeppermintBark.html for recipes), chocolate-covered pretzel rods, fresh-baked cookies, homemade caramel or flavored popcorn, a pair of taper candles bundled with French ribbon, tea (visit www.freeprintable.com/free-printables/tea-bag-envelopes for free printable tea envelopes), ornaments or seed packets (visit gardensandcrafts.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-seed-packet-templates.html for free printable seed packet templates). Root beer reindeer are cute. Buy root beer or any bottled beverage such as cola, apple juice, Frappucino, etc. Twist pipe cleaner antlers to the top just underneath the bottle cap; just below, add a red pom-pom nose, wiggle eyes and use a thin piece of fleece as a scarf. Hope this helps!

D-K-L's Royal Rumble Review
Nice little video package to start the show, not too long which I like, but got the point across that there are 30 men, but only one dream will come true as usual.
CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy
Brilliant match to open the show. I was expecting the Cruiserweight title match to kick off the show tbh but this was a great choice, really got us pumped. This match was so interesting becuase of the way you have booked this rivalry, you've booked it so well and you made the IC Title feud one of the top feuds, which WWE hasn't done IRL for a long time. You did well starting the match off quickly as these guys really hate each other, so a slow, cautious start wouldn't have been right for these two. Man, the Whisper In the Wind already! That got the match off to a good start. Loving all the great moves they used in this, the D.U.Backbreaker is one of my favourites. Loved the counter to the Air Punk. Punk just hit the Rock Bottom!? Man, the Anaconda Vice! I think you needed a submission in here to make it realistic as these guys couldn't go at that pace all the way through. Hilarious Ref bump here Lol, only a WWE ref would get caught with a boot from a guy up the the GTS position, why didn't he just step backwards!? ... WHAT!? Sunny just hit Jeff with the belt!? Man I wasn't expecting that at all, don't tell me she's been with Punk all this time!? CM Punk makes the cover and he's the new champ, Yay! Awesome ending and leaves it open for a second match, wouldn't be suprised if you stretch this feud up to Mania, although Jeff will probably be in the MITB. Loved this match Nige and got me pumped for the rest of the show, this rivalry has just been great.
Nice little seg with Rated RKO. They were in character playing their typical heel roles. Loved the New York joke Lol, that's something Edge would say.
Nice little segment with Batista and Flair too, Flair is good at putting 'Tista over and he did that, saying that Batista is bigger and stronger than his opponents, but I still doubt he'll win.
Chavo vs. Dykstra
Nice little match here between two solid wrestlers. I like how you have built the Cruiserweight title back up, and you've done it by giving the title to Dykstra. He's had a good little title reign so far and it's done him a lot of good, so there is no way he's losing the belt tonight. This match was at a fast pace too with both guys getting some good offense in. I like the moves you were using in this like the Brainbuster and the Northern Lights, love those moves. The Three Amigo's were great too. Chavo rolling out the way of the leg drop and Kenny dodging the frogsplash made for an exciting ending. Nice little heel tactics from Dykstra to hit the low blow, and then the cutter. Damn! I said it would end a DQ win for Chavo, and it would've if the stupid Ref had seen it Lol! Nice ending with the Guillotine Leg Drop, top finisher and Dykstra's reign continues, but this leaves it open for a second match too.
Decent interview with HBK, I like what he had to say about him coming back from the career threatening injury. Here comes Cena, can't stand him tbh but he was in character and what he had to say was good.
Here is my pick for the Rumble! KKEENNNNEEDDDYYY! Great confrontation with Y2J and Kennedy. KK calling Regal 'Willy' was funny and something he would do. I'm suprised no one said 'that's a tough job, you should be proud of yourselves' to the tumblers Maria and McCool, WWE normally uses that line every year at the Rumble. It's obvious that we'll get the KK/Y2J rivalry again after tonight so that makes me think that KK isn't winning tonight. I think your next PPV is Mania or a SNME so we could get another match on Raw.
HBK vs. Edge vs. Batista
This match started out really exciting too, it was funny how Batista got dumped out of the ring straight away, not exactly what Flair had in mind when he told Batsita to kick some ass! Some near falls early on were cool. I loved Batista's counter from the Asai Moonsault into the running powerslam, that was awesome. All three guys had their signature moves in this match and you did a good job of eliminating a guy for certain stages, like you did with Batista the start. Lou Thesz press! I was wondering when HBK was going to hit that as he normally hits it early on, Figure Four! Batista was never going to tap from that but it was a good submission to throw in. The last few paragraphs were really exciting with the near falls. Man I thought it was over after the Batista Bomb. Nice close finishes with the Spear and Spinebuster too, and nice SCM to stop the Batista Bomb. Sweet Chin Music to Edge! That was great to eliminate him from the equation, and Sweet Chin to Batista! Yes! Great counter to stop the spear and I'm glad that HBK won. Great match.
So all power has been taken away from the McMahon's? That's interesting. Who is the guy who will take over then I wonder? I know you like your shocks so it could be anyone, but I look forward to finding out, the McMahon's certainly won't like it.
The HHH/CM Punk confrontation was interesting. I don't think it's going anywhere though but what Punk had to say was cool. HHH had some strong words too but I don't think he's winning.
John Cena vs. Randy Orton
This was a really great match Nige, really exciting. It's strange seeing Randy Orton and John Cena in a TLC match but you made it work. Once again the match got off to an exciting start, there are no slow starts in your matches and it's cool to read, especially for a TLC. There was good use of the ladder in this match and I liked how you described how many rungs they were up the ladder, that helps us imagine it in our heads better.There was a real good part of the match between all the ladder climbing, with Cena hitting the powerslam onto the ladder and Orton sending Cena through the table. That was great. The Spike DDT through the announce table was awesome, I really thought it was over there. I liked how Cena made the Superman recovery, Orton should have just hit the RKO through the table instead. Yes, RKO through the table! I'm glad you used that spot. Great ending to a really exciting match and I'm glad that the Orton era will continue.
Cool segment between Hardy and MVP, MVP's joke about Hardy having fun was funny. I really hope that MVP wins the Rumble but I really doubt it.
The Royal Rumble Match
I'm not going to go through and review each part Nige as it's hard to do that with the Rumble without telling the story all over again. The start of the Rumble was cool and I liked how you saved the first elimination for a bit. Marrella was eliminated first like he was IRL this year, poor Santino! Kane with the mask was a BIG shock, I knew that he was coming but I didn't think he was going to be an actual entrant in the Rumble, I thought he was going to interfere and eliminate Taker so it was a massive shock seeing him enter. Kane eliminated lots of guys and that helped him make a massive impact on his return, the way he was throwing guys out all over the place was similar to a few years back when he got rid of like 11 guys.I loved how you kept these feuds going to with Punk eliminating Hardy and Chavon eliminating Dykstra. I was real angry when Ric Flair got rid of Mr Kennedy, he was my pick to win, I don't know why I picked him though really. The battle with the McMahons and Triple H was cool and having JBL re enter and eliminate HHH was a great booking decision. Wow, Umaga made the last three, brilliant! Great choice for the last two, Kane and the Undertaker even though they didn't really fight each other at the end. Kane Chokeslamming Taker off of the apron was a great way to end it, and Kane winning was a big surpise! I knew you would shock us with the Rumble winner and you did. Is Kane going to feud with Taker or will he go for the title? And will Kane be going against HBK now at Mania? That would be really interesting. Great ending Nige, it was the best Rumble I've read on here for sure.
Overall it was a fantastic PPV Nige, really great. It will get the PPV of the month for sure IMO. All the matches were really exciting, you are a great match writer and you proved it here. I can't wait for Raw and SD now to see all the fallout. Great PPV Nige, good job mate!
New Be the Booker Thread up now!

The old SPSS manual (Nie, Hull et al) maintaned that Kendall's tau-b was superior to Spearman's rho when there were many ties or a small number of individual values in one of the variables. I am not sure of the evidence for this - does anyone know?stefania_ottone >>> Is the spearman test run in stata corrected for ties? In -spearman- the correlation is just the Pearson correlation calculated on the ranks. Thus Stata does nothing special about ties. I think Stata here shares in a widespread prejudice: if ties are an issue for you, then either your sample is too small or the data are too problematic for Spearman to be appropriate. Getting the P-value exactly right if the main idea is dubious is putting the emphasis in the wrong place. No doubt other software can fill the gap.

Alexander: The Boy Soldier Who Conquered the World
€ 27,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Januar 2006
BeschreibungAlexander conquered the Persian Empire, which stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to India and formed much of what was then considered the civilized world. Alexander's conquests furthered the spread of Greek ideas and customs in western Asia and Egypt. He thus made possible the rich culture of the Hellenistic Age. Alexander was born in Pella, the capital of the Macedonian kingdom. His mother taught him that his ancestor was the hero Achilles. His father taught him that the Macedonian kings were descended from the hero Hercules, who in Greek mythology was a son of the god Zeus. Alexander was tutored by the great philosopher Aristotle. He also received training in sports, physical fitness, and warfare. His schooling ended abruptly at the age of 16. As an 18-year-old, Alexander commanded the cavalry in his father's army during the battle that brought Greece under Macedonian control. His father was later murdered and Alexander, at the age of 20, became king of Macedonia. During his conquest of Asia Minor, Alexander used such weapons as battering rams, catapults, and mobile towers during his attack on the city of Tyre. Alexander's use of these huge seige machines introduced a new age of warfare. When Alexander's forces reached the upper Indus River Valley, in what is now Pakistan, Alexander wanted to continue toward the Ganges River. But his homesick troops were tired of traveling and refused to follow him any farther eastward. Alexander returned to Babylon, busying himself with the administration of his vast domain, which stretched from Greece to the Indus. About two years later, Alexander became seriously ill with a fever and died at the age of 32. No one succeededAlexander the Great in the rule of his vast empire. His leading generals became governors of various areas and fought among themselves for control of the empire. Within a short time, Alexander's empire had split into a number of independent states.

Sing The Hits Of: Britney Spears (Karaoke CDG)
Sing The Hits Of: Britney Spears (Karaoke CDG) pop/Rock. Karaoke CDG. Published by Pocket Songs (PS.PSCDG1500).
There is perhaps no other performer who has defined the last decade of popular music quite like Britney Spears. Her 1999 debut album, Baby One More Time, remains the best-selling album by a teenage artist ever. Since then she has churned out many more hit records and albums, starred in a major motion picture, and had nearly every detail of her personal life splattered across the pages of tabloids the world over. This karaoke collection focuses on her sophomore release, 2000's Oops... I Did It Again, which has since sold over 10 million copies in the US alone.
Each Pocket Songs PSCDG album contains a complete performance with a professional vocalist as well as the karaoke tracks of each song, for the at-home performer. CDG discs can be played on a regular CD player but require a CDG player to see the graphics.
