ArenaThe arena is circular with 3 different sections. The first section is a dense forest with a lot of small ponds. There are a lot of animals to hunt there. There are rabbits, squirrels, and occasionally deer. The second section is a swamp/jungle. There are some trees and a lot of water. It is very muddy but there are a lot of bushes and plants. There are a lot of snakes there and some are poisonous. There are also a lot of poisonous frogs and spider. The only other food there is fruit hanging from trees. The third section has lots of snow-covered mountains. The mountains are possible to climb but they are still tall. There are polar bears, and snowshoe hares all around but the polar bears will try to eat people who get to close. There is a large lake at the bottom of the mountains, but it's covered in ice. The only other water source is to melt snow. There are a lot of pine trees there. The Cornucopia sits in the middle of the circle and it is surrounded by weapons, food, water, and backpacks that could contain a number of things.

The gong goes off and the tributes find themselves in a variety of landscapes. Lilla and Sapren make it to the Cornucopia, grab supplies and Lilla heads to the woods while Sapren goes to the mountains section. District 1, 2, and 4 make it to the Cornucopia and grab supplies but Alexander and Karina have a different plan. They grab suppies and dart away as fast as they can. But, they weren't fast enough. Alexander gets speared in the arm but, they keep running. Lennox is deciding what to do when a knife hits him in the back. He falls over dead. The knife was thrown by Jarvis. Jarvis picks up another spear and manages to hit Anton in the leg just as he enters the swamp section. Allona finds a knife nearby her and easily kills off Emela. The Careers decide that they want her on their team. She accepts and joins them. Tomara and Gearick head to the swamp section in an alliance. Blaise grabs a knife and aims at Silvenus. With perfect accuracy, it hits his back and he falls over dead. Anton is in the swamp section when he sees a movement in the trees. He crawls towards it unarmed. Tomara jumps out and stabs Anton multiple times until he is dead. Oalk is in the woods when an arrow come whizzing towards himn and buries itself in his skull. He falls over dead. The arrow was shot by Barley. Tomara is walking towards Gearick when she gets bitten by a snake. She screams and Gearick runs towards her. It doesn't take long for the venom to spread. Tomara is screaming, "It hurts so bad! Gearick just kill me! Kill me now! It hurts to bad!" She is letting out ear-piercing sreams. Gearick takes out his knife and plunges it into Tomara's heart. The last thing Tomara says before she dies is, "Thank you. I love you." Gearick has tears streaming down his face when he says, "I will never forget you Tomara." He runs towards the forest section and hides in a tree. Clak manages to find Lilla and he says, "Allies." "Of Course," Lilla replies. They hide in a tree together and Clak realizes how much he likes Lilla. He actually loves her. He falls asleep thinking about what she thinks of him.

2. Ash Redfern, District 11, Killed by Ember
3. Sapren Argoyle, District 7, Killed by Adam

Day 2 begins and Lilla wakes up and Clak isn't there. She panicks and almost falls out of the tree, but she doesn't. She runs to the stream and sees Clak gathering water. She runs up to him and almost knocks him over with her hug. "I thought you were gone!" Lilla says. Clak lets her go and says, "Sorry, Lilla, I was just thirsty." "It's ok." Lilla replies. During this the Careers are on the move and come across Curtel asleep under a bush. Jarvis walks up to him and says, "Wake Up!" Curtel wakes up and before he can scream, the knife plunges into his chest. The sound of the cannon jolts Ash out of his sleep. He wakes up and hears a noise behind him. Then, a knife comes flying at him and hits his arm. Ash is enraged and sees that it is Ember. He is very mad that a girl could do this to him. He says to Ember, "Is that the best you can do scar-face?" Twine leaps out of the bushes behind her and throws a spear and Ash's skull. It thuds as it hits the target. Sapren is watching this and as she turns around a face is right in front of hers. It's Adam. He stabs his knife into her chest and turns around to Alana. "One less tribute." He says. But one look at Alana's face and he knows that something is wrong. She falls over and starts twitching madly. "Alana! Alana! Whats wrong! Are you ok! Help, somebody please help!" Alana manages to say one last thing before she dies, "Adam, win for me. Please try as hard as you can." Her body goes limp and Adam runs away crying. In the bushes Allona hides with a large grin on her face and in her hands is an empty vile of poison.
Day 3
1. Sparkle Meezu, District 1, Killed by Alexander
2. Allona Moody, District 5, Killed by Karina
Day 3 begins and the Careers head to the swamp section. They are walking through some bushes when Alexander and Karina attack them. Alexander has a knife and stabs it into Sparkle's throat. Sparkle manages to get her knife into Alexander's thigh before she dies. Alexander cries out in pain and Karina sees Allona in the bushes stabbing her knife into Alexander arm, and twisting it painfully. Karina throws her spear at Allona and it thuds as it stabs into her chest. The remaining Careers race back to the Cornucopia and Karina runs to Alexander. He isn't dead, but he is very pain and screaming in pain. Karina carefull bandages and washes his wounds. Halfway through the process, Alexander passes out. For the night, Karina manages to drag him into a soft bad of leaves in a clearing. The Careers are going to the Cornucopia when they see Gearick. They give him a choice to ally or die. He chooses the alliance but he doesn't want to ally with them. He heads back to the Cornucopia along with him.
Day 4
1. Barley Salder, District 10, Killed by Linnea
2. Twine Anderson, District 12, Killed by Clak
Day 4 begins and the remaining Careers head to the forest section. They are walking under a tree when an arrow comes flying down centemeters from Linnea's head. They all look up and see Barley up a tree, with a bow and arrow. She souts down to them, "How are you guys?" "Good enough." Jarvis replies. Linnea quietly sneaks away from the group without being noticed by Barley. She darts up the tree and as she approaches Barley she says, "Hi." Barley turns around but as she does Linnea punches her jaw and she flies backwards out of the tree. She lands on the ground with a thud as the wind is knocked out of her. She is struggling to breath as Jarvis draws his knife. Jarvis yells to Gearick, "Hold down her arms!" "B-bbbut I don't want to." Gearick says. "Just do it!!" Jarvis yells. Gearick goes over to her and holds her arms down to the ground. Just as Jarvis approaches her, she kicks her legs up and knocks Gearick in the face. She jumps up and runs straight at Jarvis. Right as she gets near him, she darts to the side to confuse him and then she kicks his leg and he falls down. She takes her knife out of her pocket and is about to stab him in the heart when Linnea comes over and punches her in the side. Her knife still cuts deeply into Jarvis's chest. She falls over and Linnea spears her multiple time until she is sure that Barley is dead. The cannon signales her success. Jarvis is still lying on the ground but Linnea and Gearick manage to bandage him and lug him back to the Cornucopia. Lilla is out hunting with her bow when she hears a twig snap behind her. Twine is there with a knife. He throws it at Lilla and it hits her arm. She screams in pain and Clak comes running. Just as he is about to throw another knife, Clak jumps out and tackles him the ground. Twine manages to escape, leaving Clak with a very bloody nose. He runs over to Lilla and takes the knife out of her arm and stabs it into her arm again, and starts twisting it. Lilla is screaming in pain. Clak runs over and stabs his knife into Twine's back. He falls over dead and Lilla is still screaming. Her arm is pouring blood. Clak runs over to her and tries to calm her. She is screaming, "It hurts so bad! Clak help me please! Plaese!" Clak says, "It'll be ok, don't worry." He leans down and picks Lilla up. He carries her to a cave and gently sets her down. He leans down to her and their lips meet. Lilla now feels no pain. Only the warmth of Clak's lips. The last thing Lilla hears before she becomes unconsious is Clak saying, "I love you."
Day 5
1. Gearick Strathis, District 3, Killed by Alexander
2. Alexander Lettom, District 4, Killed by Jarvis
The day begins with a cannon shot. It was Gearick's death. They had been going through the swamp section when a knife can flying at Gearick. It dug deep into his chest and he died. Jarvis grabs the knife and runs towards the person. It is Alexander. He dies before he knows what happens. Karina run away screaming with sadness. Lilla wakes up and sees Clak tending to thier fire. "Good morning, beautiful." He says.
"Hey Clak?" Lilla says.
"Remember last years games?"
"Of course, how could I not?"
"I don't know, but I remember the day that Lillian left. I was 11 and Lillian took me in her arms and said, Lilla, It's your job to protect Maple. Your little sister needs you." Lilla is now starting to cry, but she continues, "And at that moment, I knew she was telling me that she wouldn't come home. That day when I had to leave, Maple was there and she said, Lilla, you protected me for that year, now you need to protect yourself. I can see that dad is about to die, even if I'm not a doctor. I'll protect myself, I'll be ok untill you come back. I knew that her sister's death had changed her. She'd grown up too fast. Watching Lillian die, was like watching a part of me die. I cried and cried for days. Maple talked me through the hard parts." Lilla is know crying very hard. "When Maple left, the last thing she said was remember me and what they did to your sister. I knew that by them, she had meant the Capitol. I left her alone. A six year old, alone in her own world." Clak whispers, "Lilla, listen to me, You will return home even if it means me commiting suicide. You will see Maple again." Lilla and Clak embrace in each other's arma and then Lilla falls asleep in Clak's arms.
Jarvis Day
Jarvis's older brother and parents show up at the Capitol. His older brother says, "Jarvis, be ruthless and kill, kill, kill. That's how you can win." His mom says, "We love you honey, please come home." His dad just nods his head.
Linnea Maxx
Linnea's older sister and her mom show up. Her sister says, "Linnea. please try and come home. We miss you so much. It's so lonely without you here." Her mom says, "Linnea, try as hard as you can and remember, I am very proud of you.
Karina Lettom
Karina's parents show up. Her mom says, "Look, Karina, I know you are very sad about your brother's death. We are to. But don't let that keep you unaware. Stay alert and try to win. Remember that I love you and I always will." Her dad doesn't say anything.
Adam Henderson
Adam's mom and dad show up. His dad says, "Adam, you need to get over your sister's death and fight. You need to find other tributes and kill. If you don't, then you won't succeed." He walks quickly offsatge and his mother follows with tears in her eyes.
Clak Peetason
Clak's older brother and dad show up. His dad has crutches and his arm is in a sling. His brother says, "Clak, it's great that you're protecting Lilla. She really trusts you and I hope that this is what you wan't." His dad doesn't speak and they leave.
Lilla Blooms
Maple, Lilla's younger sister, is the only one to come. She says, "Lilla, you are doing well. You are doing just what I told you to do. This is for you. Maple starts to sing an old lullaby that Lilla had tought her. She finishes with, "- I know you're always here for me, I love you." Tears are falling down her cheeks and she quietly walks off stage.
Blaise Harman
Blaise's younger sister and parents show up. Her younger sister is holding on to her mom's hand and she looks like she is about to cry. Her mom just says, "Blaise you're doing great, keep it up. Don't worry about us we're fine." Everyone walks off stage after that.
Ember Sage
Ember's younger sister and dad show up. Her sister says, "Ember, I know you can't hear me right now, but I want you to try your hardest to win and come home. I really miss you." She is crying as she walks quietly off stage. Her dad says nothing.
Day 6
1. Adam Henderson, District 6, Killed by Clak
Day 6 begins and Lilla and Clak wake up to find two spears sitting outside of their cave. "I wonder why they sent us these?" Lilla askes. "No idea." Clak responds. Just then there is a thud outside the cave. Clak runs out first with his spear in his hand. He sees Adam and decides to take him down. He throws his spear just as he hears a scream. His spear hits Adam and he falls down dead. Lilla is looking around wildly saying, "Maple!" "Lilla what's wrong?" Clak asks. "It's Maple, Clak, She is the one screaming." Another scream comes and Lilla shields her ears with her hands and runs deep into the forest. She sits down and curls up to block out the terrible noise. Clak finally reaches her and has to pry her hands off her ears. "Their gone now Lilla. They were Jabberjays. They just create the sound. It's not really Maple." "What if they're torturing her somewhere?" Lilla says. "Listen Lilla, you know they wouldn't do that." Clak responds. Lilla glances up and sees a mockingjay. She starts to sing an old lullaby. The same one that her sister sang at the interview. She finishes and Clak says, "Wow, My brother told me your sister was an amazing singer too."
"Really, When?" Lilla asks.
""He sent me a letter from the Capitol that read, I met this girl today, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. She can sing. When she sings it's as pure as when raindrops land on leaves. As smooth as a still pond. She sang to me, the day before we left to the arena. A lullaby that was about someone leaving you, but they still love you. She was the most perfect girl I have ever met. Now we have to go into the arena and one or both of us will not make it out alive. I wish you the best, Melarka."
"Yea, and I knew from the second I saw you, that you would be the same. Just as perfect as your sister."
Lilla walks over to Clak and hugs him tight. She whispers, "I never want to let go." Clak respnds, "You never have to."
Day 7
1. Karina Lettom, District 4, Killed by Jarvis
Day 7 begins and Linnea wakes up to a thump at her feet. A gleaming silver bow and and silver arrows are wrpped in a silver parachute. Linnea wakes up Jarvis and says, "Let's go hunting." "Right you are." Says Jarvis. They head towards the swamp section and just as they enter it they hear a rustle in the bushes. Karina jumps out with a knife in one hand and a spear in the other. Jarvis says, "We have room for another member of our alliance." Karina just says, "I'd rather die than join you!" "So be it." Jarvis replies. He takes his knife out just as a long silver sword falls on his feet, wrapped in a sliver parachute. To Jarvis it seemed to say, "Use me to kill!" Jarvis picks up the sword and runs at Karina. She attempts to throw her knife, but Jarvis dodges it easily. The sword enters her stomach and protrudes out her back. The cannon fires and the keep hunting. Lilla is still embraced with Clak and they wake up. Lilla jumps up when she hears a noise out side. She wakes Clak who voulenteers to go out first. He takes his spear and a knife. Just as he exits the cave, a knife comes whizzing toward him and cuts his forehead. Blood starts pooling into his eyes. He throws the spear in the direction of the knife thrower who happened to be Ember. It thuds as it digs into her leg. She staggers away quickly leaving Lilla still inside the cave. She runs outside and screams at the sight of Clak. His face is covered in blood and Lilla thinks tha he is dead. "Clak! Clak! Speak to me please!" Lilla says. Clak mumbles, "It's ok Lilla, it's just a little blood." "A little?" Lilla asks. "Ok, a lot. Lets get inside the cave and get some bandages. Clak stands but almost falls over. He leans on Lilla as she drags him into the cave. When he slumps on the ground, Lilla realizes how much blood he has lost. She cleans and bandages the wound. She manages to get some water into him and a little food as well. Lilla doesn't sleep that night.
Day 8
Blaise wakes up to a thump at her feet. A basket of rolls are sitting at her feet wrapped in a parachute. She eats half of them quicky and there are 5 rolls remaining. She decides to save these until later. She takes a nap under a tree. Lilla is frantically trying to wake up Clak. Every once in a while he would mumble something that made no sense. He was still loosing a lot of blood and Lilla realized how deep the cut was. A slight sound of rocks clinking together alerts Lilla. She walks out into the storm and sees a sringe filled with a clear liquid. Lilla wonders if it is medicine or poison. She decides that it is most likely medicine and she runs back to Clak. He is lying on tyhe ground on top of a blanket. Lilla takes the sringe and injects the medicine into Clak's arm. She waits and waits but nothing happens. She doesn't here a cannon so she assumes that he is still alive. She sings to Clak for hours. She sings every song that she knows. Ember is up in a tree when a wooden bow and hard metal arrows fall in her lap. She smiles with delight. She sees a squirrell run by and she shoots it with ease. She falls asleep that night with her hand still holding her bow. Lilla cries herself to sleep, but no faces are in the sky tonight.
Day 9
1. Blaise Harman, District 11, Froze to death
Lilla wakes up to a hand stroking her hair out of her face. Her tear-stained face looks up to see Clak. Alive. Clak is Alive, she repeats in her head. Lilla hugs him tightly and they stay like that for a long time. Blaise is woken by a numbness in her feet. The temperature has dropped drastically overnight and Blaise is badly frostbiten. She fumbles for her heavier jacket, only to find that her hands are numb too. She has no feeling in them at all and she basically falls out of the tree when trying to get out of her sleeping bag. She hits the snow hard with a thud and she thinks that her arm is broken. She starts to panic when she tries to stand up. Her feet and her legs up to her knees are frozen. She tries to buils a fire but it fails. She accepts her death and miraculasly makes it up in the tree again. She sits in her sleeping bag and eventually falls asleep. She dies in her sleep of the cold. Lilla asks Clak, "What happened." "Well, I'm not sure. After you shot that into my arm my entire body went limp, but I could still hear things around me. Your singing was beautiful." Lilla says, "I thought you were dead." Tears start to fall down her face. Clak hugs her tightly and there lips meet. Lilla enjoys every minute of it and she isn't the first one to pull away. Clak whispers, "You had a rough night last night. Get some sleep. I'll stay on guard." "But-t-t are you sure you don't want me to stay guard." "I'm positive." Clak replies. Lilla falls asleep with her head rested on Clak's knee.
Day 10
1. Ember Sage, District 12, Killed by Jarvis
Ember's life is taken away as the dagger enters her chest. The dagger was thrown by Jarvis while Ember was asleep. She fell out of the tree and as she was in the air, her cannon fired. Jarvis and Linnea moved on to try and find Lilla and Clak. Lilla is out hunting when she hears a crack behind her. She whips around with her bow ready and sees Clak standing there with a handful of berries. "Just checking in. Don't shoot me." He says with a laugh. Lilla runs up to him and hugs him. "I thought you were Jarvis." She says. "Am I really that ugly?" Clak jokes. They return to their hunting and are rewarded with 4 rabbits and a squirrel. They feast on the squirrel and a rabbit that night. They try to get a good nights sleep for the battle that will probably happen tomarrow.
Day 11
1. Jarvis Day, District 1, Killed by Lilla
2. Linnea Maxx, District 2, Killed by Clak
3. Clak Peetason, District 8, Killed by Linnea
Lilla wakes up and sees Clak sharpening his knife. "I think that today's the day." "Probably." Lilla replies. They grab their thing and head out. They arrive at the Cornucopia by noon and decide to spy on Linnea and Jarvis before they attack. Linnea is sharpening swords and Jarvis is taking a nap. By mid-afternoon, Lilla and Clak decide to attack. Clak runs straight at them, while Lilla sneaks up behind the Cornucopia. Clak has his spear in one hand and his knife in the other. He approaches Linnea and stabs the spear right under her shoulder she screams in pain and Jarvis wakes up. He sees Lilla with a knife and grabs his knife out of his pocket. Lilla stabs him in the heart, but Jarvis manages to bury his knife in Lilla's leg. Jarvis's cannon goes off. Storm clouds start to quickly roll in. Rain beats down on the ground. Clak is wrestling with Linnea and manages to get his knife into her leg. Linnea repeatedly stabs Clak in the arms and legs. Lilla approaches behind her and stabs Jarvis's sword through her back. She dies instantly and her cannon goes off. Lilla looks over and sees Clak on the ground. "Clak!" She screams. There is a knife buried in his stomach. "Don't die Clak! Please don't die!" Lilla has tears rolling down her cheeks. "Lilla you deserve to win." Clak whispers. "No! I can't leave the arena alone." Lilla screams. "Lilla, listen to me, you need to go home and see your sister. You need to go home and live your life without me." Clak says. "No! I can't do this without you." "I know you can Lilla. Take this as a reminder of me." He places a small wooden token in Lilla's hand. "I love you Lilla. Do one last thing for me." "What?" Lilla replies as tears stream down her face. "Sing." Lilla starts to sing the same song that her sister sang at the interview. " - I love you." She finishes. Clak says one last thing before he dies, "I love you too." His body goes limp and Lilla is crying harder than ever. She stands up and wobbles to the ground, forgetting that her leg is very injured. She has lost much more blood than she realizes and the last thing she sees before she falls unconsious is the small wooden token that Clak had given her.
Returning Home
The door to the train opens and Lilla is overwhelmed by the flashing cameras. She smiles for the crowds until they eventually go away. She looks around and sees her best friend, Dawn. She runs to her and says hi. She says, "Lilla, I'm sorry to give you the bad news but, your father is dead." "What?" Lilla replies. "Maple!" Lilla screams. She looks around and doesn't see her. She runs to her house but it is deserted. "Maple! Maple!" Lilla is crying and she runs into the forest. She sits on her favorite rock, deep in the forest and she sings. The song is meant to be a duet, but when she gets to the second persons part, she stops singing. Another voise comes, as pure a a new raindrop, and sings the second part. She turns around and sees her sister walking towards her and singing. She has a bandage around her entire left leg, but blood was seaping through it. "Maple! What happened? Please tell me you're ok." "I'm fine, Lilla. But, I might need a doctor." Lilla scooped up Maple in her arms and carried her to the District 8 hospital. She was sent to the emergency room and Lilla ran after her. The doctors stoped her at the door. She saw Maple pass out and fall to the floor. Blood was pooling around her. "Let me through!" Lilla yells. She is screaming and punching the doctor as hard as she can. She feels a pin-prick in her back and she falls unconsious.
Lilla wakes up in a hospital bed. Her arm is bandaged and when she tries to move it, she feels a blinding pain. She looks at it and sees blood seeping through the bandage. She tries to remember what happened. Her sister had been gathering berries when a bear had attacked her. It had deeply scratched her leg and she happened to have some bandages in her backpack. She had stumbled upon Lilla while she was returning home and then she was taken to the hospital. Lilla racks her brain for more memories. She remembers hitting a doctor and him hitting her back, hard, in the arm. She also remembers her sister lying in a pool of blood. Her Sister! Maple! She jumps up from her bed and looks around. Her room is deserted She sees a door and a window leeding to the hall. She peers out the window and the hall is completely empty. She opens the door and sneaks into the hall. She turns the corner and runs straight into the president of Panem.
"Well hello young Victor. You have been making lots of trouble lately" He says politely.
"I-I-I it-t-t" Stammers Lilla
"Listen to me and listen good. Do what we say or your sister dies." A scream erupts throught the halls. Her sister's scream.
Lilla is strapped to a chair listen to the blood-curling screams of her sister. Lilla's tear-stained face looks horrifies. She is screaming, "Let her go! Please! Take me instead! Please!"
The screaming finally ends. Lilla is released from her bed and she carefully stands up. Her head hurts from all the crying. A door opens and a person is shoved into the room. It's Maple. She lays on the ground and starts whimpering. Lilla runs over to her and kneels by her side. Maple's back is very bloody and the blood is going everywhere. Then Lilla realizes that they were whipping Maple, and really hard too. Maple slowly looks up and sees Lilla. She lifts up her arms, but she winces in pain. She throws her arms around Lilla and says, "Lilla they hurt me. Please don't let them do that again. It hurts so bad. Please make the pain go away. It hurts so bad!" Maple has tears streaming down her face. Neither of them see the door open. A very strong pair of hands pry them apart. "No! No! Please let me stay with her! She's hurt!" "Lilla, Please don't go." "I'm sorry Maple, there's nothing I can-" She is cut short by a pin prick in her back. Her world turns into darkness.
The whipping was still happening, "Please! I don't know anything about a rebellion! Let me go!" Lilla was screaming. She hears a familliar voice behing her, "It's obvious she doesn't know anything. Let her go home." Lilla passes out before anything else happens.
She is laying in the snow. Next to her sister, Maple. The snow around them is stained red. They both have small bandages around their backs, but the blood is still pouring out of the wounds. Then snow is refreshing on her back. She tries to sit up, but a blinding pain stops her. She sits there, for days. The bleeding has finally stopped. Her sister hasn't moved an inch since she woke up. She sits up, barely able to stand the pain. She taps Maple and she slowly sits up. "Where are we?" The little girl asks. "We're home Maple, We're home."

After arriving in Vancouver from Whistler and having a week of chilled out travelling from Calgary, my friend and I felt quite overwhelmed by the craziness of downtown and surrounding areas and we needed to escape! With a little help from the sat nav and the lonely planet guide book made an escape and headed for Jericho beach and the HI. The location was great and we stayed for 2 nights in a private room. We had a car and the free parking in the nearby road was great! We were lucky as the day we arrived there was an open day and we were treated to complimentary salmon BBQ!

Siren Festival 2010
July 17, 2010 by Post Team
Siren Festival 2010:Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes lost his battle against a sentence of three years in prison for tax evasion today.
The appeals court in Atlanta ruled that the judge properly ordered the white men 47 years old star can not jump.
His lawyers had argued that the sentence was "unreasonable" and should have been granted a hearing to decide whether his trial should have been held in New York instead of Florida.
Snipes, star of the Blade trilogy and Passenger 57, received the maximum sentence a judge in Florida in 2008 to avoid over and 15 million (£ 7.5 million) in federal income taxes from the top of his career.
The two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington had written to the judge of the U.S. District Court William Terrell Hodges asking that Snipes, 45, spared a prison sentence.
"Wesley is like a mighty oak tree," he wrote.
"Many who know him have witnessed the fruits of their work. I have sat in its shade and even been protected by his presence."
Woody Harrelson, Snipes who said he had known for two decades and starred with him in the movie Wildcats, said his friend was "a true citizen of the world."
"He strives to achieve justice in all relationships and is an honor to call Wes my brother," he said.
Several friends show, including actors, a costume designer and even a justice of the TV during the day, also provide brilliant character references. But their appeal fell on deaf ears.
Snipes was convicted of three counts of failing to file tax returns from 1999 to 2001, but was acquitted of felony fraud and conspiracy.
His lawyers had argued that its accountants, Douglas P Rosile and Eddie Ray Kahn, who also received prison sentences, had deceived his client with a claim that there was no law requiring him to pay the tax.
U.S. Attorney Robert O'Neill, however, told the judge that Snipes was a "notorious" tax protestor who deliberately used false and discredited arguments to avoid paying.
In a long note to the court for the maximum sentence of 36 months, prosecutors said Snipes out a campaign of conduct imposed a decade of criminal law combining brazen defiance with insidious concealment "that amounted to 15 million and tax evasion and $ 41 million in "intended harm" to the U.S. Treasury.
During the investigation by the U.S. tax agency, the Internal Revenue Service, Snipes was detained at Johannesburg airport for allegedly trying to pass through using a fake South African passport. He was arrested shortly after being deported to U.S..
Snipes' lawyers had no comment on today's ruling.

text: Amtech deploys Mimosa wireless backhaul radios to boost broadband speeds16 Nov 2016 06:24 PM Mimosa technology increases Amtech Communications network speeds from 30 Mbps to 200 Mbps, improving internet connectivity for residents across nine US statesAmtech Communications has selected Mimosa backhaul radios to deliver superfast broadband connectivity to hundreds of multi dwelling unit (MDU) properties across the Mid-Atlantic region in the USA.Amtech is a leading provider of large-scale residential amenity solutions, providing Wi-Fi access to over 9,000 tenants in MDUs across nine US states. The company urgently required a simple, high capacity solution to upgrade its existing Wi-Fi network and deliver a faster, more reliable broadband experience.The network needed to support building residents who were eating up existing bandwidth due to data-intensive online services such as streaming content. Amtech harnessed Mimosa B5 and B5-Lite backhaul, which work in the 5 GHz unlicensed spectrum, delivering high-capacity short and mid-range links. The radios use unique high-precision GPS sync technology, allowing reuse of the same radio channel and therefore improving network efficiency.Over thirty links were deployed in buildings and towers across a number of residential sites. With the new Mimosa solution installed, broadband speeds increased from 30 Mpbs to 200 Mbps – delivering superfast connectivity for hundreds of MDU residents. James Hawthorne, network engineer at Amtech Communications, said: "In MDUs, it is common for a large number of people to access high-bandwidth internet services simultaneously, which can put a huge strain on a network."We needed to add additional capacity and improve broadband speeds so that residents could use their favourite online services without their connection letting them down. We could not believe the immediate and impressive results from Mimosa's backhaul radios, with internet speeds increasing dramatically across our network." Amtech handled the design and installation of the Mimosa links. The company used the Mimosa Cloud+ tool to ensure good health of the network as it replaced the old links with Mimosa radios. It also enabled the company to observe traffic patterns on the network and monitor for any external interference. "The Mimosa Cloud service enables us to gain a holistic view over all of our network links and ensure they are performing optimally," said Hawthorne. "We were also amazed by the ease of the deployment – it only took about an hour to install and programme each radio. We are now switching out all of our old links with Mimosa products," he finished. Following this successful deployment, Amtech now plans to roll out a new Mimosa network in the Washington D.C. area. It is also looking to take advantage of clear, licensed 11 GHz spectrum by deploying B11 backhaul radios (pictured) to connect two buildings located about seven miles apart. Jaime Fink, co-founder and chief product officer at Mimosa, said: "Today, tenants in MDUs value high-speed internet connectivity above many other utilities. Mimosa's backhaul technology enables service providers to quickly inject additional capacity into networks across MDU sites at a competitive cost. "By using Mimosa's technology, Amtech is future-proofing its broadband network for the next generation of internet services that demand a fast, reliable data connection."

Second Ulin'talag was a Jem'Hadar soldier who served during the first month of the Dominion War.
He served under First Teron'tokal and Vorta overseer Yelgrun, who commanded a patrol sent to monitor the activities of the USS Lambda Paz, which was dispatched to the Tong Beak Nebula to verify intelligence that a Jem'Hadar breeding facility was being built on a planetoid in the nebula. Believing that he and his fellow troops were protecting unborn Jem'Hadar, Ulin'talag was uncertain that passive monitoring would assure the success of the mission to lure Starfleet into an ambush, considering the Starfleet ship would leave and come back with reinforcements. As a result, Ulin'talag dispatched the fighter he was commanding to shoot down the shuttles dispatched to take a closer look at the surface.
Out of a sense of obligation to face the consequences of his defiance of the First, and hence defying the Founders, he returned to the Dominion flagship afterward, where he was swiftly executed by Teron'tokal. (Star Trek: Lambda Paz: " Revenge a Dish Best Served Cold")

If you've picked up a newspaper or Google'd meditation recently, you know that when it comes to mental, physical, and spiritual benefits, meditation is in its heyday. It's not that the information is new, it's that collectively the world is finally beginning to recognize how valuable a meditation practice truly is. And while some find that actually sitting down and focusing within to be a bit of a challenge, those who stick with it are rewarded ten-fold.
Checkout this recent post from Nasrin Safai on the benefits of meditation. Again, not a revolutionary revelation, what Safai does do is present (in a very clear way) how practicing meditation and connecting to one's Source can help people profoundly transform their lives on numerous levels. According to Safai, one of the greatest benefits meditation teaches is that we are not alone.
Meditation is meant to help you to reconnect to that Supreme Essence which you have forgotten existed within you and around you; that greater power who is always around watching, guiding and guarding you. When you feel that connection, then you let go of all fears, fears of loneliness, fears of abandonment, fears of rejection, fears of having to do it alone, fears of nobody watching your back. That connection with the Higher Power brings a feeling of peace and calm which is a welcome change from the norm.
Meditation enhances the feeling of self love and love for others. It encourages your sense of self trust and trust in others. It renews your sense of self confidence and the ability to confide in and trust the Higher Power and its ability to guide, guard and protect you. Ultimately, Meditation can bring peace of mind, unconditional love , unconditional acceptance and reunite us all in Oneness. You can see the proof of this in the lives of living Saints and Avatars. Born Enlightened, these Spiritual Masters, known as Avatars, offer their entire lives in sacrifice. They live their lives to serve and help us remember that we are not alone. They live in a state of constant meditation and constant connection with the Higher Power, the Supreme Consciousness. In fact they are believed to be the embodiment of the love of the Supreme Consciousness, taken form.

Target: Speaker of the New York State Assembly, Sheldon Silver
Goal: Decriminalize marijuana possession to reduce drug-related arrests in New York City
Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City, recently announced that people who have been arrested for possession of small amounts of marijuana will no longer have to spend the night in jail. Instead, those who do not have a warrant will be required to appear in court at a later date. Mayor Bloomberg hopes to encourage the state to decriminalize marijuana and ensure that fewer New York City residents end up with criminal records. In New York State, possession of small amounts of marijuana is still considered a misdemeanor, but Governor Andrew Cuomo has been pushing for legislation that would make possession a non-criminal violation, a proposal that Mayor Bloomberg supports.
New York City currently arrests more people for possession of marijuana than any other city in the country, and the numbers have increased drastically in the years since Mayor Bloomberg took office. Under the current state law, marijuana possession is only illegal when the drug is not hidden from view. However, NYPD officers have been known to ask citizens to remove items from their pockets when being searched so that they can legally be arrested for possession.
Until marijuana is decriminalized in New York State, those who are arrested for possession will still end up with criminal records. An overwhelming majority of the people who are stopped and searched as part of New York City's stop-and-frisk program are not guilty of any crime, but those who are arrested are usually only guilty of having small amounts of marijuana, a crime that they would not otherwise be arrested for if this program did not exist. Additionally, because stop-and-frisk unfairly targets young men of color, as long as the program continues, the numbers of young men of color with criminal records will remain high.
Although Mayor Bloomberg's decision to stop holding those who have been arrested for possession of marijuana is a step in the right direction, as long as the state law still criminalizes marijuana possession, the city of New York will continue to unnecessarily arrest tens of thousands of citizens every year for this minor offense. New York must pass the legislation supported by Mayor Bloomberg and Governor Cuomo to decriminalize marijuana and reduce the number of drug-related arrests in New York City.
Dear Sheldon Silver,
In an effort to reduce the punishment for marijuana possession, Mayor Bloomberg recently announced that residents of New York City who have been arrested for small amounts of marijuana will no longer be required to stay in jail overnight. Although he supports decriminalizing the drug, New York City cannot stop arresting people until New York State passes Governor Cuomo's legislation that would reduce marijuana possession from a misdemeanor to a violation.
More people are arrested in New York City for marijuana possession than in any other city, and because the city's stop-and-frisk program unfairly targets young men of color, making marijuana a criminal offense means that a large number of young men of color in New York City have criminal records. Since Mayor Bloomberg is unwilling to end his unconstitutional stop-and-frisk program, the only way to stop the racist program from resulting in so many residents having criminal records is to change the state law.
Decriminalizing marijuana possession would allow police in New York City and in the rest of the state to focus their attention on stopping violent crimes. Please encourage lawmakers in your state to support Governor Cuomo's proposal to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana.

I can integrate them into the main one, or leave it as a separate build file. Either works fine; I like more integration, though I have a lot of targets. I can rename them as "taste-build" etc. and hook them in to common "build" targets. My lib/ directory maps onto the existing one, as does my src/main and src/test dir.

Lacey Schwimmer, Lacey Schwimmer says he is "very excited", which was associated with Chaz Bono for the thirteenth edition of this fall's Dancing with the Stars.
"I'm so excited to let you know my dance partner on [Dancing with the Stars] is [Chaz Bono]! He is an incredible person! And so sweet! Weee!" dancing 23 years of age, with the Stars professional partner Twitter Wednesday afternoon.

Schlumberger announced the introduction of the BroadBand Sequence* fracturing technique, which enables sequential stimulation of perforation clusters in wells drilled in unconventional reservoirs. This new technique sequentially isolates fractures at the wellbore to ensure every cluster in each zone is fractured resulting in greater production and completion efficiency compared to conventional methods.
Developed using a composite fluid comprising a proprietary blend of degradable fibers and multimodal particles, the BroadBand Sequence technique is suited for use in new wells and in recompletions. This technique is particularly suitable for re-fracturing operations, given its ability to promote temporary cluster isolation without the aid of mechanical devices such as bridge plugs.
"Optimizing the stimulation of wellbore perforation clusters in unconventional reservoirs is a significant challenge for our industry," said Amerino Gatti, president, Well Services, Schlumberger. "The BroadBand Sequence technique addresses this challenge and increases our customers' well production by enhancing stimulation contact in every zone in the reservoir."
This fracturing technique has delivered robust and consistent performance in more than 500 operations conducted to date in several unconventional plays including the Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Woodford, Spraberry and Bakken shales.

EA developer Visceral Games' next title looks set to be an open world action RPG based on Star Wars.
An ad was posted on EA's career's site that reveals what might lie in store. "Bring your system game design skills and savvy and your love of star wars to visceral games, embracing and contributing to the project vision in areas of hero control/mechanics, AI behaviors, combat/weapons, class design, skills/progression, enemy design, story and boss encounters.," the ad reads.
While little is known about what Visceral has planned, that sounds like a pretty solid foundation. Another reason to be somewhat optimistic is that former Ubisoft producer Jade Raymond is joined by Uncharted writer Amy Hennig. That's a lot of proven experience crammed into one team.
The Star Wars universe has plenty of stories to tell. Thirty years passed between the Battle of Endor and the events of The Force Awakens, so perhaps Visceral will tackle that time period. Or maybe we'll see something running concurrently with the timing of the new trilogy.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now out in cinemas and it's been an early success. So expect to see plenty more games and tie-ins in the coming years.

ANDY Reid conquered an 18-mile hand cycle event on Sunday to raise awareness for a little boy with leukaemia.
The war veteran, who lost both legs and his right arm after stepping on an IED in 2009 while serving in Afghanistan, took part in The Home from Home walk for Ben's Wish, a charity set up to raise money for 11-year-old Ben Robinson from Leigh.
The walk went from the home of Ben's favourite rugby team, Leigh Centurions, to the Etihad Stadium where his favourite football team Manchester City play. All the funds will help him go on his dream trip to Jamaica.
Dad-of-one, Andy said: "We set off at 10.30am and got there around 5.30pm but I got to meet Ben, who is such a great kid and very inspiring after everything he has been through.
"He joined us for the last mile which was brilliant. I'm happy to help raise awareness."
The 40-year-old also did the event in preparation for his Warrior Challenge, which will include him visiting the graves of his six friends who died while serving in Afghanistan in 2012.
The 425-mile challenge will see Andy, from Rainford, take part in running, cycling and kayaking events across the country to visit each of their graves over 14 days in June.
This will include visiting Warrington, Longwood, New Mill, Cowersley, Lytham St Annes and Bradford before finishing in Westminster.
All the money raised will go to ABF The Soldiers Charity and to Style for Soldiers, a charity run by seamstress Emma Willis in London, which adapts uniforms and suits for injured servicemen and women.
The event will take place from Friday, June 16 to Thursday, June 29.

Baseball's contenders pull out the shopping carts this week with pitching at a premium as the July 31 trading deadline looms.
The best available starter might already have been dealt with Cliff Lee going from the Mariners to the Texas Rangers. But there should be plenty of accomplished pitchers still on the block, with several fading teams eager to shed payroll. The market took a slightly different look as well when the Yankees became at least partially motivated when Andy Pettitte went on the shelf for at least a month with a groin injury.
We take a look at some of the best possible matches:
Roy Oswalt: Buyers must look past Oswalt's 6-11 record and focus on his 3.12 ERA this season. He's due $16 million in 2011 but is 143-81 in his career. Best match: Mets. Long shot: Reds.
Ted Lilly: Overpriced at $13 million but not over-the-hill despite 3-8 record. Lilly, 34, won 93 games the previous seven seasons. Best match: Pettitte-less Yankees. Long shot: Phillies.
Dan Haren: He hasn't had his best season (7-8, 4.60) but he's a 29-year-old workhorse who's likely to be worth the $29 million he'll make the next three seasons. Best match: Angels (who placed Scott Kazmir on DL). Long shot: Mets.
Paul Maholm: No available lefty has more upside. Maholm, who pitched a three-hitter Sunday, is 44-51 for the Pirates; imagine what he might do with better run support. Because he's the best combination of young and cheap here (and under control all the way through a reasonable $9.75 million club option), bidding clubs will have to ante up solid prospects for the Pirates. Best match: White Sox, looking to replace Jake Peavy. Long shot: Padres.
Jake Westbrook: Free agent after the season, he can be tough when healthy. But as Fox's Ken Rosenthal notes, any team acquiring Westbrook will have to pay a significant penalty. Best match: Rockies -- his sinker could be effective at Coors Field. Long shot: Cardinals.
Edwin Jackson: Arizona doesn't want to be on the hook for his $8.35 million next year. Best match: Tigers -- he won 13 games for them last season. Long shot: Mets.
Brett Myers: Having a strong season (7-6, 3.35) for Houston. Best match: Dodgers. This $5.1 million contract may be one even a divorce-strapped franchise could absorb. Long shot: Giants.
Kevin Millwood: The Orioles would love to move him. Although he's 2-8, 5.77 this season, he does have a 3.57 career ERA in August. Best match: Mets. Long shot: Phillies.
Jeremy Guthrie: His $3 million salary and ability to eat innings is more enticing than his 13-27 record the last two seasons. Best match: Angels. Long shot: Twins.
Ben Sheets: The A's won't get their $10 million worth out of Sheets (4-9, 4.53) but might get a prospect or two. Best match: Padres: Long shot: Red Sox.
Carlos Silva: At 9-3, his trade value might never be higher for the Cubs. Best match: Mets. Long shot: Reds.
Livan Hernandez: He's 6-6, 3.27 this season and his 7-3 career record in postseason can't be dismissed. Best match: Braves. Long shot: Dodgers.

Excellent Physician & Surgeon
I am 5 mos.out from surgery/treatment for advanced cancer. Dr. McGrew was a surgeon that went the extra mile to increase my chances of survival. He took the time to explain in detail his findings and the surgery he performed. I saw him last week and he took the time to tell me about a similar case that would serve to give me inspiration and hope.

Had significant surgery which returned my hearing in one ear to normal, after wearing a hearing aid in that ear for a year. Right doctor with the right diagnosis and thankfully, an option to repair.

No Bedside Manner
Dr.McGrew did ear surgery on me a few days ago and when I woke up in the recovery room he never came to talk to me about how my surgery went. My family had to ask a nurse to page him and the nurse came back to say he was busy. This doctor couldn't even take 2 or 3 minutes out of his day to come and talk to my family and I and tell us how my surgery went. When we finally got his fellow on the phone (that was the only way we could reach her) she finally explained that there was a complication and that's why the surgery took longer than expected. So right after my ear surgery where there was a complication no one came to my room and talked to me about it. This doctor has absolutely no bedside manner and no common courtesy to come and talk to patients after surgery. I have never seen a doctor who doesn't talk to patients and families after surgery. That is unacceptable

Showed up at UAB ENT at 12:30 for a 2:30pm appointment. Was inprocessed right away, administered hearing and other diagnostic tests. Met with Dr. McGrew shortly thereafter to confirm diagnosis and establish follow-up treatment plan. Completely satisfied with visit. Would definitely recommend him for other ENT issues.

I spent several months with Dr. McGrew treating a loss of hearing problem and severe tinnitus. He couldn't offer me anything but steroids the 2nd visit and seems kind of disinterested in my trouble. I couldn't recommend him to anyone. He doesn't apppear to be very innovative.

We had two meeting in which he said three things that he later could not recall. He seemed curt as if he basically could care less about me as a patient. After 4 visits, I realized that he never actully thought about my illness much. He is a typical textbook doctor. Do not reccommend!

Review: History told through eyes of losers, not winners
Scott Reynolds Nelson is a professional historian who prefers to examine the grassroots citizenry to understand economic cataclysms and recoveries, rather than starting at the top with bankers and federal fiscal and monetary agencies.
His approach worked well in his previous books (Iron Confederacies: Southern Railways, Klan Violence, and Reconstruction and Steel Drivin' Man: John Henry, the Untold Story of an American Legend).
In his new book, history focusing on the losers instead of the winners is especially effective. This might not qualify as 100% pure revisionist history, but it is certainly unconventional history, and hooray for that.
A Nation of Deadbeats is especially timely, coming as it does during a nationwide and worldwide economic slowdown of at least four years duration and counting.
The past is indeed prologue, as Nelson shows by skillfully connecting the pattern of economic decline from centuries past with the current mess.
Nelson wisely notes that a major shortcoming of accounts from many historians is how they shortchange the role of debtors, who tend to be ordinary people without titles or workplace offices.
When citizens who become debtors want consumer goods, they spend and spend, often beyond reason. Then the defaulted payments show up, making the continued prosperity of permissive creditors tough indeed.
Nelson harks back to the years 1792, 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873, 1893 and 1929 to establish the pattern he wants to share with readers. Systemic collapses would occur rarely if ever except for out-of-control consumers often enabled by sellers overly eager to maximize profits.
Scott Reynolds Nelson
Massive defaults by consumers frequently yield consequences beyond national borders as the current downturn demonstrates vividly. When the defaults involve millions of big-ticket items, such as homes, the ripple effect is especially noticeable. Stupidity and greed cannot always be contained by real but permeable national borders.
What starts in the economic realm will often affect what happens in the political realm, as White House occupants and political parties absorb blame.
A compelling example used by Nelson led Andrew Jackson to the presidency because of a nineteenth-century economic debacle. The collapse of 1857 played a role in the starting of the Civil War, too, and that constitutes political economy gone awry big time.
Readers who might approach a book about American economic history with trepidation will quite likely feel at home by the end of the preface. Nelson wisely opens the book with the saga of his father, who became a repo man after losing a solid sales management job at a major corporation during 1973.
Repo (slang for repossession) men secured property from consumer deadbeats who had spent beyond their ability to pay.
Nelson's father did not look threatening at first, in his bell-bottom pants, loud imitation silk shirts and shaggy beard, driving a souped-up white Dodge Dart. As Nelson notes, the "deadbeats saw him coming, that's for sure, but they did not understand his profession until he walked into their homes and took away their televisions."
Many of his collections came while employed by Woolco, the department store.
Nelson's father impressed on the future historian that deadbeats did not necessarily deserve sympathy. Nelson père characterized them as "people who borrowed and borrowed, then lied, hid from their debts, pretended they were solvent," until the repo man walked inside.
Nelson fils is more sympathetic to debtors than his father had been. But even if those debtors are sometimes the victims of circumstances beyond their total control, they nonetheless can start ripples in the economy that become tidal waves.

In this paper the design, fabrication and characterization of a bioinspired overlayer deposited on a GaN LED is described. The purpose of this overlayer is to improve light extraction into air from the diode's high refractive-index active material. The layer design is inspired by the microstructure found in the firefly Photuris sp. The actual dimensions and material composition have been optimized to take into account the high refractive index of the GaN diode stack. This two-dimensional pattern contrasts other designs by its unusual profile, its larger dimensions and the fact that it can be tailored to an existing diode design rather than requiring a complete redesign of the diode geometry. The gain of light extraction reaches values up to 55% with respect to the reference unprocessed LED.

ED Magedson – Founder
Ripoff Report
Green Tech Imaging9120 Owensmouth Ave Los Angeles, California United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On Jan 13, 2011 Jessica from Green Tech Imaging cold called our office, wanting to know what printers we use so that she can save us a lot of money.
When I asked for a website she said it was down.
When I asked for a contact phone number she gave me 888-875-2437.
She was friendly, but rather persistent about getting the printer information from me (I never gave it to her and don't plan on it); I told her it wasn't in front of me and I couldn't go look for that information right now.
She asked if she could call back tomorrow after I looked at the printer, I told her "Sure!"
I checked the website[http://greentechimaging.com/index.html] and she's right, it's down - there's no contact information or information about the company at all.
I called the phone number and it was answered by an automated operator, but without stating the company name.
I pressed 4 to speak to an operator and the first thing I asked the operator that answered my call was "Where is your company located?" She answered "California." I asked, "Where in California?" She answered, "Chatsworth."
Nothing I can find online indicates that this business exists beyond their questionable website: no map listing, no BBB listing, no reviews, no complaints, no nothing.
On Jan 14, 2011 Jessica called me back and I was able to get the company's address: Green Tech Imaging is located at 9120 Owensmouth Ave, Los Angeles, CA 91311.
When you look it up on a map, you find that it's located less than 400 feet away from Allstate Imaging Incorporated (aka Allstate Imagining), which can be found at 21621 Nordhoff St Chatsworth, CA, 91311-5825.
If you look up reviews and complaints regarding Allstate Imagining Incorporated, there's not a lot of positive feedback regarding their business practices, including a lot of information regarding them here on the Ripoff Report website.
On a hunch...
I looked up Allstate Imaging's website [http://www.allstateimaging.com/index.html].
Then I looked up Green Tech's website again [http://greentechimaging.com/].
(Take a moment and compare those two websites - it's very interesting.)
I then had another hunch and called Allstate Imaging and asked for Jessica. The girl who answered the phone asked me why and I told her that Jessica and I had been talking about office supplies, as a matter of fact we had talked only about an hour ago. She said that she'd be able to take a message for Jessica to call me back, so I left my name and number, which they already have anyway.
So, now I'm waiting for Jessica from Green Tech Imaging (a "brand new company" according to Jessica) to call me back after I left a message for her with someone from Allstate Imaging.
30 minutes later:I received a phone call from Jessica from Green Tech Imaging about 30 minutes after leaving her a message at Allstate Imaging to give me a call. I even asked her if she and I had spoken only an hour and a half before, just to make sure I had the same Jessica, and she confirmed that for me too.
This confirmed my belief that Green Tech Imaging and Allstate Imaging are indeed the same company.
If an unknown company cold calls your office and immediately wants to know what specific office equipment you use, be careful, do not tell them anything, and get as much contact information you can from them.
The minute you tell them what type of printer you use, or what type of fax machine you use, there will be unsolicited merchandise showing up at your door, with the expectation that you will pay for their overpriced goods, as well as their ridiculously priced shipping fees.

The practice of OTC derivatives collateralization has taken more than a few evolutionary steps at once, triggered by extremes of turbulence and high-profile credit failures. New levels of sophistication and effectiveness are required to master the activity and make its credit risk mitigation potential reality.
The rigors of the credit crisis have significantly strengthened the status of OTC derivatives collateralization. Mitigating counterparty credit risk has always been a necessity, yet current market turbulence and high-profile credit failures haven given the practice new relevance and urgency. Explosive year-on-year growth in collateralized OTC transactions testifies to this.
As risk managers undertake a rigorous assessment of their collateral management capabilities, they will find market practices have evolved materially. The range of eligible collateral has widened, then narrowed, credit terms are tightening, the frequency of margin calls is accelerating, and margining techniques are becoming ever more sophisticated. These changes are making fresh demands on the capabilities of collateral managers and systems.
In this report, OTC Derivatives Collateral Management: A Credit Risk Mitigation Technique Revisited, Celent provides an overview of OTC derivatives collateralization with regard to growth, growth drivers and conduct. Against the backdrop of these findings, the report identifies best practice features of OTC derivatives collateral management in terms of both organization and technology.
"Our analysis shows that, while the types of risks in collateralization are manifold, on a day-to-day basis, successful collateral management is primarily an operational risk management challenge," says Isabel Schauerte, Celent analyst and co-author of the report. "Overall, best practices are characterized by going beyond merely the technological and administrative aspects of managing collateral into a highly cohesive approach to integrating collateralization processes strategically into a firm's trading and risk architecture," she adds.
