What's the secret to my extremely productive days of late? Wonderfully soft organic cotton bed sheets, 300 thread count fair trade duvet cover and luxurious pillow cases thanks to our new partnership with Sustained Organic Living (SOL) or SOL Organics.
Since recently changing over to SOL's organic bed sheets, I have been gushing about its luxuriousness almost every night. My partner Ben has been gushing about the sheets too. This is odd for the both of us since we've been on our sustainability journey for quite a while and already own (and have spent many nights on) several sustainable bedding sets. But the superior quality of SOL's bedding seems to blow all other sheets in our linen cupboard out of the water so to speak. Now that I've had the pleasure of sleeping in them, there's no way that I'll ever be able to sleep without them. It's like getting a daily pampering session before falling asleep!
The added bonus is that the gorgeous organic sheets seems to transform my simple bedroom to a stylish boutique hotel room!
SOL's queen size organic 'Classic Bedding Bundle' in blue (fitted sheet, flat sheet, duvet cover, two pillow cases and two shams) is now a highly prized possession – and for a self-professed minimalist, that's saying something.
The sheets are silky smooth to the touch and that's due to its 300 thread count. The fabric is made of single ply yarn that is spun into a fine thread. To give it its super soft, smooth finish, a sateen weave is then employed. The fabric is also lightweight and breathable, so it provides the right level of comfort and warmth and makes it ideal for the ever-changing cool/humid/hot climate here at the farm.
The brand also has some serious eco credentials under its belt which will turn your bedding infatuation into a full blown bedding obsession.
The business sources its Fair-Trade certified organic non-GMO cotton from Kisan Samiti Farms in Central India. The crop is rain-fed and applied only with natural fertilizers and pesticides. The farmers earn a much fairer price for their cotton which helps to fight poverty in their communities. In addition, I co-own a certified organic farm and understand the approach to sustainable farming. It is much more holistic and a healthier way to farm – for people, animals and the planet.
The GOTS-certified organic cotton sheets, duvets and pillow cases are all manufactured in a FLOCERT factory which is independently audited, complies with Fair-Trade standards and is certified as such. Low-impact dyes are also used in manufacture, which is less toxic and also helps to conserve water. Production is sweatshop-free, exploitation-free, child-labor free and workers are paid fairly and treated with dignity and respect.
The sheets are tastefully packaged in a reusable tote bag made from the same certified organic cotton bedding fabric affixed with natural coconut buttons. The tags and labeling are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified and can be recycled and is also 100% biodegradable.
You would think that the brand's superior quality and commitment to ethical production and sustainability would mean its prices would be astronomical. But in fact, compared with other premium brands (certified organic and not) SOL is much cheaper and that's because the brand doesn't add extra markups. For a premium organic cotton sheet set, the price starts from just $99 USD. The brand also offers free ground shipping across the US which saves you even more money if you're based there (the brand does ship internationally for a fee).
'Tranquility' Grapefruit & Sandalwood Handcrafted Soy Wax Candle. The sticker is easy to remove!
SOL exhibits social-consciousness as well as eco-consciousness. The business partners with four charities: Children's Defense Fund, Water4, Hope For Justice and The Fund for Animals; and donates $7.50 from every sale of bedsheets to the charity of your choosing. Broad choices for charities too so you're not stuck donating to a cause you're not really interested in!

Asthma likely to progress to COPD?
Got asthma with partial reversibility on spirometry. Well-controlled on Fostair. Had it since I was a child (with a break in my late 20s to early 40s, now 50). Asked the consultant today if it is likely to keep progressing and become COPD and he pursed and wriggled his lips and then said "well it MAY not", if you keep taking your steroids.
I am now of course really worried. Any one else been told their asthma may progress to COPD? Anyone know what timescales we are talking about? I do not know whether I should start thinking about early retirement and doing my bucket list.
We like to have definite answers, it's part of being human, but the flip side of this is you may well NOT develop COPD.
On that wonderful basis I would suggest that you enjoy all that you can today. Yes make your bucket list if you want to but only because you want to do all the things that make your life, and those around you, good today! Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring and having a long term illness is no exception. Of course ensuring you plan financially is a part of it, but no one has a crystal ball. I've had family members planning for years ahead and then unexpectedly their lives were shortened and the opposite where they lived much longer than they thought possible.
Enjoy this day and live it as well as possible.
It shouldn't, as COPD is usually associated with smoking. But as I don't have COPD I don't really know.
As strongmouse says, you can't know. Your best bet is to do all the usual healthy things about diet and exercise (and never, ever panic) and in all probability, you'll be fine!
Thank you - and taking the steroids regularly and avoiding infections and poor air quality, I presume. Any particular diet that is healthy? I eat lots of fruit and veg and take fish oil, multivitamin and turmeric supplements.
Hi I have asthma and 20 years later was diagnosed with copd. However this could well have been coz I continued smoking. There are no definitive answers to this. However even if it does progress you will probably only be mild. At that level and even moderate you can still live a long and healthy life.
I suffer with copd and asthma at a severe level. Smoking is the main culprit for copd . Its not something all asthmatics develop however if u are a smoker and an a asthmatic u are obviously at greater risk.


"It has been over four hundred years since the tales of the Outcasts began to spread throughout the world. Whether they existed or not, or how much—if at all—they influenced the momentous events of those times four centuries past… those are beside the point. Though they would be long since departed from the mortal coil, the Outcasts live on.
"We who compile and study their tales have heard all the classic stories over and over again, told in a thousand different ways: the battle in the underground spider cavern, during which Hanami revealed her powers as a mage to save her new friends. Faun Muranaka's discovery of Seker, the Last Titan, and his raising of the Black Rose Tower… and the massive explosion at that same tower roughly a month later, which they say was visible from all across the world. The rampage of the Soulsnatcher. The notorious "Infernal Sheep Incident". The night of the Shroud. The journey to the north to seek out the yuki-majin. Their struggles against the Silver Order, the Demon Fangs, the Shadowhand, Epsilon, and countless other foes and challenges both mundane and supernatural… we know them all. It is, after all, our calling.
"With as many stories as there are, and the surprising degree of consistency in their telling, it is possible to establish a rudimentary timeline of the Outcasts' history, starting with Hanami's arrival in Tasakeru, commonly dated mid-autumn of Year 1349. If one were to consult this theoretical timeline, one might wonder: when exactly did the Outcasts cease to be a band of inconsequential exiles and begin to be an undeniable influence on the world at large?
"Some would argue that they made their first definitive mark on history with the explosion at the tower. Others would claim it was the tower's raising, itself a momentous event. Still others put the true beginning much further back, on that terrible grey dawn when Hanami first discovered that she was far from an ordinary squirrel doe.
"As for myself, I would place the tipping point squarely on the famous duel in the rain between Reimaru "Zero" Takaishi and the Soulsnatcher, long considered one of the most popular pieces of Outcast lore. Moreso than the raising of the tower or its explosion, and moreso than the day that changed Hanami's life, that duel had lasting consequences that no one, least of all the Outcasts, could have foreseen. Its outcome arguably set the stage for everything that was yet to come.
Two pairs of eyes watched the pattering of rain on leaves from their makeshift shelter beneath the heavy boughs. One pair, hazel and cautious, belonged to a squirrel doe who was now reconsidering the escape plan that had seemed so brilliant hours ago. The forest of Tasakeru was immense; even her brother had never come close to exploring all of it after living here nine years.
The second pair, almond-shaped and colored bright yellow, belonged to a sentient the likes of which the world had never seen. He watched the droplets pelt the leaves with rapt fascination, delighting in the rhythmic sound they made when they fell. Every few minutes, while his companion mulled next to him, he tried to reproduce that sound with motions of his lips: pop, pop, pop. He was improving as he practiced, but it was not yet accurate enough for him.
Naole barely heard him; she was too focused on the sinking realization that she had made a terrible mistake. Sure, Naole, she thought bitterly. Run out into the rain in an uncharted forest five times the size of Unify with a newborn hybrid to look after. No food, no water, no supplies, no shelter, and a bloodthirsty monster running around that wants revenge on our whole family! Blessed Lady Terra, what have I gotten us into…? Guilt stewed and churned deep in her belly. If she were in this situation by herself, perhaps it would not matter so much. But Legion was here with her, and she was his sole guide to a world he did not understand yet. How to explain to the poor thing that they were lost, with very little hope of ever being found?
Legion wore a look of intense concentration and deadly seriousness, his brows furrowed and his long ears turned back at an angle. With great care, he pursed his lips together, then blew and made a circle with them: Pop! Pop! Pop!
The hybrid's long ears stood straight as flagpoles. His fur bristled all down his spine. The tight, nervous light in his eyes drained the last of her merriment away. He did not know the gesture yet, but Naole half-expected him to put a warning finger to his lips and shush her.
"Casualty figures for the Soulsnatcher's rampage on Aedis Centralis have been confirmed: thirty-seven dead, twelve robbed of their souls, and over three score wounded, including my own daughter, Nadeshiko. Funeral rites for the bodies of the dead are underway, and I have informed the mortuary that I shall indeed perform the ceremony of interment.
"The tallyers estimate that it will cost at least a hundred thousand tri to restore our temple, including the cost of replacing all the floors sullied by bloodstains. Some are concerned that we cannot afford such an expenditure; to those I have countered that we can scarcely afford not to. Whatever has transpired, Aedis Centralis is still the Order's holiest ground… by the grace of the Greatmother shall it continue to be so.
"I write these words as I sit by Nadeshiko's side in the infirmary. My Little One sleeps soundly for now. She is given the best care that any sentient can ask for, but while she sleeps I cannot help but stare at the bandages covering the wound that the Soulsnatcher left her. That wound is in part my fault. I lacked the strength to strike that creature down, and for that failure, she shall carry a scar for the rest of her days.
Naole leaned to her left.
Naole touched her nose with her index finger.
Naole wrapped her tail around herself.
Legion attempted to do the same… but his tail was a good deal longer, fluffier, and heavier than the doe's, and he did not quite have the hang of moving it yet. The tip of his tail whapped him in the snout, and he stared at it cross-eyed, as if perplexed how it came to be attached to him.
That was enough to send Naole into another fit of helpless laughter. Oh, her aching sides.
The Silver Order often took in orphans, though it was not Naole's job to teach and evaluate them. That was beyond the duties of an apprentice Healer. She was a good observer, though, and she was familiar enough with the basic tests given to judge a child's mental faculties: the capacity to distinguish different shapes and colors, follow direction, and communicate clearly with their elders. At least in the mental sense, Legion was no newborn; from the hour-plus she had spent with him so far, she estimated that he was on the level of a sentient child, perhaps five or six years old. Maybe even older, given how quickly he was progressing, gathering and retaining every bit of information that she gave him. Physically, he was a full-grown adult… an adult what was still in question, though she supposed the word "hybrid" was good enough. Not a half-and-half like a wolfox, either, but a true mix of traits and features from all sentient species.
He (and Naole was now quite comfortable with the idea of Legion as a "he", not an "it"; perhaps a fox would be better at introducing him to the complex subject of gender, but that could come later, when he understood a bit more. A non-intrusive peek at the relevant area told her that Legion was indeed a male in terms of equipment, so that would do for now) was a fast learner. He grasped new concepts well no matter how many she introduced, and he was always eager to learn more. True, he couldn't speak for himself, but Naole knew well more than a few speaking sentients not even half as quick-witted as Legion clearly was. Speech, she thought, was no indicator of intelligence, and her new hybrid friend was proof positive of that.
Being with him and seeing his eyes light up when he learned something new was almost enough to make her forget her imprisonment. To forget the gloom of the strange cavern, the pool of blood now stagnant in the center, and the otherworldly beacon of blue flame pulsing languidly over their heads with its silver orbs spinning around it in tow. There was nothing either of them could do about any of those things, so they ignored them as they continued with their lessons and games.
Legion mimicked the same expression, tongue and all, and the sight of that cheerful, goofy face gone so mock-serious threatened to cause another giggle fit.
The hybrid tilted his head to one side.
Delighted by this new discovery, Legion swelled his cheeks and blew. His sleek black forelocks were quite a bit longer and less tidy than Naole's, and they fell back into his eyes on the downdraft. Undeterred, he blew again and again, sounding a bit like an overenthusiastic bellows operator.
Misty, prismatic fingers curled around Zero as he floated in the wake of the ancient wolf. Not walked, floated; if there was solid ground beneath him hidden somewhere in the fog's depths, what he desperately hoped were still his feet did not touch it. He could not turn or deviate from his course, he could only follow after Drake… who, he noted, was not floating. However the wolf moved forward, he did it slowly, trudging through denser, darker, more threatening clouds that clung to him as if trying to drag him down.
Apart from those, the fog bank was lighter and more colorful than Zero felt like it should be. Of the many things he had experienced in the past few months, this ranked as among the strangest. As he was, he was barely less ephemeral than the fog, and he could not shake the fear that one strong gust of wind would blow him apart.
Wherever Drake was taking him, through whatever bizarre magic this was (if it was magic), he was right about one thing: it was not more pleasant than traveling by boltpath. Not in the least. Bolting, as sick as it made him whenever he was forced to use it, was at least over fast, with a minimum of sensation between one state and the other. This, though? Zero felt like a living ghost, divorced entirely from the physical plane, and that turned his stomach in knots.
And there were the sounds. Not quite words, they would drift out of the fog, whisper urgently in his ear, then disappear as quickly as they came. Fragments of emotion without any meaning attached to them, voices speaking a language he could not understand. They gave him the crawling horrors.
Ahead, Drake came to a brief stop, for no more than a second at the most.
That word cut through the maddening vagueness of the other whispers with such clarity that Zero would have shuddered, were he solid enough to do so. Rain?
Now that he concentrated on it, he could feel a dim pattering of warm, soft droplets upon him, almost like tears. Zero glanced upward. Above him were thick, bloated clouds the color of bruises, clearly the source of the rain… but something in him stirred. There was nothing special about them that he could determine, they were just ordinary rain clouds, but… he found them beautiful.
The rain stopped. All at once, as if the heavens had slammed a door shut.
"For all his terrible deeds, the Soulsnatcher succeeded at one thing: creating a new form of life. As creatures of science, we must acknowledge his achievement as much as we condemn his methods. The Soulsnatcher was insane, yes. A mass-murderer, absolutely… but he brought forth a being the likes of which the world had never seen.
Voices raised in argument cut through the fog clouding Nadeshiko's consciousness like handsaws through wood. With the loss of the fog came an awareness of both a splitting headache and a deep, throbbing pain in her neck and shoulder. The skunk opened her eyes and immediately shut them, as the infirmary's lantern light ratcheted up her headache another few notches. "Would you please…" she began, then stopped. Her throat was dry, her lips chapped.
Blurry shapes hovered at the foot of her bed, one black and one white. Those shapes resolved into Zero Takaishi and the ancient wolf called Drake, both peering at her with great concern. "You two-" she said.
"You," growled the wolf again.
Any further attempt to unravel the mystery was derailed by a chilling, wordless howl of rage as Lady Lily Argenteus, the graceful and benevolent head of the Silver Order – Lily the aged, Lily past her prime, Lily whose days on the field were behind her – rushed the wolf that captured her daughter with hellfire in her eyes, her greatsword's edge for his neck. Heedless of the spreading flames, heedless of the danger, heedless of the chaos around her, Lily charged at the Soulsnatcher like a frenzied boar. Steel met steel, the heavy clang resounding through the chamber as Stalker raised his stolen cutlass to protect himself.
"There has never truly been a wolf in the Silver Order. While of course the Order touts itself as open to all species, and a few of our kind have followed its beliefs, in all recorded history there has never been record of a brute Brother, a fae Sister, or a knight of either.
"Admittedly, there are some practical reasons why this is the case. Wolves wander; the urge to travel is ingrained deep within, and staying in one place for too long is antithetical to us. Since officially joining the Order requires constant contact with Aedis Centralis, most of us would not be able to follow the vows.
"Sadly, the other major reason for our lack of representation in the Silver Order is simple prejudice. For all the strides made by the Argenteus House and their followers in advancing society, they have historically been either unwilling to treat us as true equals, or content to ignore us altogether. This is hardly uncommon; in too many places in the world, our kind is still seen as 'uncultured', our ways 'primitive'. The less charitable tend to call us 'savages'.
Oh, he remembered the Silver Order. Elite. Self-righteous. Pretending to be dedicated to "life" while suppressing or excluding those who did not fit their narrow definitions of the word. Worst of all, serving as a front for the damned stinktails and their poisonous belief that females were to be elevated above their natural station. The florises… the florises honestly told people that they cared about all life while forcing their males into subservience. Blatant hypocrites, all of them.
And yet. The Silver Order's diversity was exactly what Stalker needed to revive Mother, to make her proud, to give her new children to avenge the slain. How ironic, that a former sentient of the one species to be excluded from the Order would see to its downfall.
That last thought gave Stalker pause. Former? Of course he was still sentient, and he still considered himself a wolf at least partially, though he was altered with his rebirth. A wolf, and yet not a wolf. One of Mother's children, and yet different from any who had come before: able to speak sentient languages, walk on two legs, think and act independently. A true study in contrasts, was he not? A crossbreed of sorts, but certainly a more worthy crossbreed than any of the blue-furred taints.
Wolfoxes… he never despised the taints like some of his brethren did, like the foxes as a whole did. Some of them had to be decent… and a female was a female, though of course his preference had been for proper fae. Still, in his old life he preferred not to think of the wolfoxes at all. Now he realized that using one of them to pave Mother's way home would be inappropriate. She deserved better. Better, as her new children would be. Not misbegotten things like wolfoxes, but children with the best of every species.
Stalker thought of these things as the mouths in his hand did their work, siphoning the last of the ferret watcher's blood as his soulless body quivered in its death throes. He had been a good, strong hobferret. Faithful to his Order and his Grand Mistress to the last. Worthy of being a sacrifice. Daring enough that when Stalker climbed over the edge of the battlement, the hobferret did not cower or flee in terror, but made a desperate charge with his spear… the spear now broken and protruding harmlessly out of the wolf's belly. The sight had rattled the watcher enough that he dropped his guard. Stalker pounced upon him, ripped off his leather breastplate, and extracted his soul. Without it, the hobferret's body slipped into living death, and he made no move to resist as Stalker tore out his throat with his fangs.
In the deepest heart of Aedis Centralis lay the Grand Mistress's private meditation chamber. Precious few sentients were allowed here; only those of the Argenteus bloodline and their most trusted attendants ever set foot inside it. The chamber acquired a kind of mythical status over the years as a result. Many Order sistren and brethren wondered: what was behind those heavy mahogany double doors? Fabulous riches? Unseemly pleasures? Forbidden magic?
Those who wondered the most would doubtless have been disappointed if they saw the chamber for themselves. While its furnishings changed every time the title of Grand Mistress passed from mother to daughter, it had never strayed much from the concept that Mistress Emeritus Lotus envisioned thirty-three generations ago: a place of peace. A place of warmth, of quiet, of contemplation.
Soft colors dominated the chamber, pastel yellows, greens, and blues. Straight lines and sharp edges were kept to a bare minimum, and there were gentle arches were everywhere. The most striking feature was the water, a natural stream that ran right through the middle of the chamber. Fragrant lotus blossoms floated lazily on the stream's surface in all seasons of the year, a permanent tribute to the namesake of the Order's founder. Overlooking the stream was an old spruce footbridge coated in rose-colored lacquer, arcing from one bank to the other. Though there was a throne reserved for the use of the current Grand Mistress, Lily preferred to kneel on a cushion on the bridge, with candles burning low in the sconces that lined its supports. There she sat now, swathed in simple white robes, her eyes closed, her tail curled around herself, and her expression unreadable.
"A-all right…" With trembling fingers, Hanami reached for the carved wooden figure. Her eyes were set as she moved the scout over the head of Faun's paladin and placed it in the square behind it. Satisfied, she took up the captured paladin and dropped it in the cloth pouch on her side of the board.
"Let us lay to rest a common misconception: though the Outcasts of Tasakeru (at least, those of the era that this book covers, with Hanami, Zero Takaishi, Faun Muranaka, Rowan Longstripe, and the rest being by far the most well-known of them all) are considered folk heroes, they were by no means seen as such at the time. According to most stories, the Magistrate Representatives and their various species governments made every effort to paint them as traitors, outlaws, scoundrels, and what-have-you. This despite the fact that, Muranaka aside, they were not career criminals… at least, not in the traditional sense. The majority of the Outcasts of that era were exiled for violating cultural taboos, rather than exhibiting criminal malice: Hanami for use of magic, Longstripe on his own volition as an act of symbolic protest, etc.
The problem was that they just couldn't see. Couldn't, or wouldn't. It was because of that stubborn blindness on their part, that refusal to see what was right in front of them, that he had to do it. He wasn't to blame. He had done no wrong. Why couldn't they understand that?
The young brute wolf thought these bitter thoughts to himself as he trudged through the forest at close to midnight. His dark eyes glowered, hidden in part by strands of long, lank black hair that threw the details of his features into perpetual shadow. Perhaps he would have been handsome, had he groomed himself with more care: the claws on each of his long, thin fingers were ragged and overgrown, and his fur was shaggy and unkempt over a lean, wiry frame. Like many wolves, he normally eschewed clothing. Unlike almost all of the wolves, however, his fur bore no markings, no patterns, no indication of any kind that he belonged to a pack.
This was because he didn't. Not anymore.
They exiled him. They made him an Outcast, because they couldn't see.
Why couldn't they understand? He explained it to them over and over, but each time they refused to listen to reason. They imprisoned him, stripped him of his markings, exiled him out to Tasakeru in the cold autumn night. They couldn't see.

Ease the Need for IT Security Pros by Writing More Secure Code
The demand for information security professionals, which already high, will surge in the next few years. Finding trained security professionals to meet the demand will be challenging, but businesses can ease the burden by training developers to write more secure code.
By Thor Olavsrud
Senior Writer, CIO	 Jul 6, 2012 8:00 am PDT
There are about 2.2 million people working as information security professionals today, says Hord Tipton, executive officer for security education and credentialing organization (ISC)2 and former CIO of the U.S. Department of the Interior. That number is expected to grow to 4.25 million by 2015–assuming there are enough skilled security professionals to meet demand.
Already, access to enough IT staff with security expertise is particularly tricky for organizations of all sizes. In a study released earlier this year, IT industry association CompTIA found 41 percent of organizations reported moderate or significant deficiencies in security expertise among IT staff. On average, CompTIA says, organizations were about 30 percent short of their headcount devoted to security.
And according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which added the category of Information Security Analyst in 2011, unemployment for people employed in the category stands at 0 percent.
"The demand for security people in organizations will be even higher," Tipton says. To meet the demand requires a multipronged approach in which not just (ISC)2 and security professionals but businesses and their executives have an important role, Tipton explains.
Write More Secure Code
One important preventative thing businesses can do to ease the pressure is to make sure developers write more secure code in the first place. Why are companies still producing software with vulnerabilities?" Tipton asks. "Why do we have to keep patching it?"
The answer, Tipton says, is that executives need to prioritize writing secure code upfront and make sure that developers are trained to do it. Additionally, organizations need to revise their lifecycle approach to give security professionals a seat at the table when project requirements get determined, not after.
"The business looks for functionality, user friendliness," Tipton says. "Security is an afterthought. People that are in the security portion of a company have a difficult time getting their recommendations in after the requirements are already set."
SQL Injection Still Highest Root Cause of Data Breaches
A study by research firm the Ponemon Institute of more than 800 IT security and development professionals earlier this year found that most organizations don't prioritize application security as a discipline, despite the fact that SQL injection attacks are the highest root cause of data breaches. The second-highest root cause is exploited vulnerable code in Web 2.0 and social media applications. These types of attacks have been around for years, and, in most cases, are relatively easy to defend against.
"Security, per se, is not a complex science," Tipton says. "Most of it is just the basic controls, the sound principles of security, which we have proven in 23 years of credentialing. They actually work and haven't changed very much. Eighty to 90 percent of breaches are caused by simple attacks, and 96 percent of those breaches could be prevented with basic security controls."
Despite the data breaches resulting from hacked or compromised applications and the lack of compliance with regulations, 38 percent of security practitioners and 39 percent of developers say less than 10 percent of the IT security budget is dedicated to application security, according to the Ponemon Institute's study.
"We set out to measure the tolerance to risk across the established phases of application security, and define what works and what hasn't worked, how industries are organizing themselves and what gaps exist," says Dr. Larry Ponemon, CEO of the Ponemon Institute. "We accomplished that, but what we also found was a drastic divide between the IT security and development organizations that is caused by a major skills shortage and a fundamental misunderstanding of how an application security process should be developed. This lack of alignment seems to hurt their business based on not prioritizing secure software, but also not understanding what to do about it."
"We basically found that developers were much more likely to think there was a lack of collaboration," Dr. Ponemon says. "The security folks, on the whole, thought the collaboration was OK. I think that one of the biggest problems is that the security folks think they're getting the word out on collaborating or helping, but they're not doing so effectively."
In other words, Dr. Ponemon says, the security organization writes its security policy and gives it to developers, but the developers, by and large, don't understand how to implement that policy. The security organizations think they've done their job, but they haven't managed to make their policy contextual for developers.
Application Security Training Required
"We find that process has no bearing whatsoever on the ability of an organization to write secure code," Dr. Ponemon says. "It doesn't take any longer to write a line of secure code than it does to write a line of insecure code. You just have to know which one to write."
But knowing which line of code to write seems to be a large part of the problem. The study found that only 22 percent of security practitioners and 11 percent of developers say their organization has a fully deployed application security training program. Fully 36 percent of security practitioners and 37 percent of developers say their organization had no application security training program and no plans to deploy one.
Ed Adams, CEO of security firm Security Innovation, says he believes providing that education will go a long way toward helping organizations secure their applications and minimize the risk. This is more of an education problem than anything else," Adams says. "In the late 90s, everybody was putting their applications on the web. But they kept on crashing. It was really a performance problem: The developers didn't know how to code for performance. Amazingly, that's what's happening in the world today. Organizations are buying application security tools before they get application security training. You have to get trained on the technique first."
Writing secure code the first time is also a good way to save a bundle of money, Tipton says. Write better applications," he says. "A company pays 30 times as much to bolt security on after the fact. IBM claims it's 100 times."
Opening the Door to Security Careers Is Childs Play
Meanwhile, in addition to its series of security certifications, (ISC)2 is doing its part to bring a new generation of security professionals into the field. "Kids coming into the workforce today know 10 times as much about computers as previous generations," Tipton says. "They are prime candidates for sophisticated work in security. We have to create a pipeline that starts in schools-from colleges to continuing education."
In fact, (ISC)2 is going well below the college level and is venturing into the grade school environment. Its Safe and Secure Online Program for children ages seven to 14 is primarily designed to help children experience the Internet in a safe and secure manner, but one important side effect is that it exposes them to the possibility of security as a career.
"It opens the door," he says. "We explain to the kids that this is a very, very viable career path. Salaries are high. Unemployment is zero. And it's challenging. So many of them like puzzles and games that it really resonates."

According to an analysis by the American Civil Liberties Union, The racial disparity in marijuana arrests in some Florida counties, particularly Alachua County, are among the highest in the state and above the national average. Law enforcement officers in Alachua County arrest more than six times as many African-American defendants as white defendants on marijuana charges, although research shows use of the drug is about as common among African-Americans as whites.
In states all across the nation, marijuana cultivation, distribution, and usage has seen a decrease in state prohibition, and such decrease in arrests has saved thousands of taxpayer dollars in court costs and filing fees for the court system, as well helping end the thousands of cases of accused who were filling the court dockets for a simple misdemeanor marijuana possession charge. Before state decriminalization of marijuana in states like Washington, California, and Colorado, cities with a significant number of cannabis users, like Seattle, would suffer from backlogs of marijuana cases.
For many of different races, marijuana charges were brought sooner and much heavier. In cities like Seattle, 58% of the backlogged cases involving marijuana charges were African-American defendants; African-Americans only account for 8% of Seattle's total population of 635,000. Some of these arrests were probably repeat arrestees who were being hassled by law enforcement.
Blacks in counties all across Florida are much more likely to be arrested for marijuana than whites, leaving many Florida counties with high racial disparities in their arrest records. No matter what one's skin color may be, there are certain factors that may make one look like a target for a drug arrest. Profiling is not an acceptable practice; however, because it is still practiced, one should know what to do when stopped or frisked by police.
For many law enforcement agencies, an arrest is an arrest. The officer is being paid the same amount of overtime for an easy arrest as they are for a difficult arrest. In the mind of a police officer, what is the point in expending time and energy into arresting a violent criminal or group of criminals, when one can bully a teenager with a bit of weed in his pocket into submission?
For many potential arrestees, the situation can come out of nowhere, from being pulled over while driving down a Jacksonville road because the officer "smelled marijuana," or being stopped by law enforcement while walking down the street, immediately followed by a number of harsh and accusatory questions and without one even saying anything, a law enforcement officer begins searching one's pockets for drugs. Remember, these searches are illegal. You have rights. Exercise them.
Remember that one has does have a choice in obtaining an attorney to represent one. However, one should not obtain just any attorney. One charged with a crime of this nature should contact an experienced Jacksonville drug crimes defense attorney to fight the case and ensure one's rights and defenses against self-incrimination are known and protected.


← And the Winner Is . . . .
I'm baaaaack! And today we are going to continue my mission in predicting who will win the Emmys. Yesterday I selected Curb Your Enthusiasm for Outstanding Comedy Series. Today, the big question is who will win Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. Spoiler alert: it's not me!
Let's just hope that Lena picks out a better outfit for the Emmys than Hannah would.
This category is very near and dear to me because I love funny women. And all of these actresses, even the one I don't like (we'll get into that later) are smart and talented in ways that go beyond acting. And a few of them are very unconventional in their looks, like Edie and Lena. It's nice to see someone normal looking on tv. Granted, they're on premium channels, but baby steps.
The problem I have with this category is of the seven nominees I only watch four of the shows on a regular basis (Girls, 30 Rock, New Girl, and Veep). I watch Parks sporadically, and I've never seen an episode of Mike & Molly or Nurse Jackie. There is no excuse for not watching the former as it is on a broadcast tv, but Nurse is on Showtime and home girl can only afford one premium channel so I went with HBO because of Game of Thrones, Curb (if it ever comes back!), True Blood, and Boardwalk Empire. But Showtime has soooo many good shows now–I am DYING to see Homeland because it is nice to Angela Chase working again–so I suppose I will just have to find a guy online who subscribes to it, and then I'll date him and spend the night when those shows air! What a good plan!
I always thought Angela would join an organic farm collective, not the CIA!
But despite not watching half of these shows, I am still perfectly capable of making a sound judgment, because why not.
Let's start by eliminating my least favorite person nominated: Lena Dunham. I have made it no secret how I feel about Girls. I can't stand any of the entitled characters, and it makes me hate New York, which is not ideal because I live there! However, I WILL give Lena credit for creating, writing, directing, and starring in this show. And not just because she's young. That's incidental. It's rare that we get to see a woman in this kind of creative role, period, so I will begrudgingly give her props. I should also thank her for not setting the show in Queens, my home borough.
I am striking Melissa McCarthy from consideration because she won last year, which everyone really knows was a consolation prize for not winning the best supporting actress Oscar for Bridesmaids (which, eek, I also have not seen, though I have it recorded on my DVR!). And even though I love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, I found 30 Rock a bit grating this season and I just don't watch enough Parks to give Amy the Emmy. As for Zooey, love New Girl but if anyone should get an Emmy for that show it's Schmidt (so now you know who I'll choose for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series!).
So now we're left with two: Edie Falco and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. This is a tough one. I am a huge Edie fan from her work on The Sopranos and Oz. And everyone cool who watches Nurse Jackie says it's one of the best shows on television. However, if I'm going to dismiss Melissa McCarthy and Amy Poehler because I don't watch their shows, I don't think it's right that I give the Emmy to Edie. Plus, bish won Emmys in 1999, 2001, and 2003 for Sopranos and in 2010 for Nurse. Her mantle is adequately decorated if you ask me.
Soooo . . . I declare the winner of Outstanding Leading Actress in a Comedy Series to Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep! She truly rocks in this role plus it's fun to see her break the Seinfeld curse.
Now, if only the POTUS would call her back!
Who Will Win: Gosh, not sure. They have a tendency to pass it around and Amy's been nominated three times and never has won so I'll go with her.
See you tomorrow when we discuss Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series!
TOTES agree on The Middle comments. I LOVE THE MIDDLE!!! and I hope that Eden Shea, who plays SUE HECK, one of the greatest characters on TV right now, gets a shout out when DVR Files writes about supporting actreesss…….?!!!!
Wow, I loved Veep! But even great people have disagreements sometimes!

Few papers have specifically addressed issues of health among aging individuals with schizophrenia, with a recent review by Cohen et al. (2000) finding only 1% of the literature on schizophrenia devoted to issues of aging. Research in this area has been limited by the fact that the majority of schizophrenia studies cover a wide age range, with the predominant focus on younger patients. Comparisons between studies are also hampered by the differences in types of patients (inpatient versus outpatient, Veterans Affairs [VA] hospitals), use of disease prevalence rather than incidence in populations, and diverse geographical locations for the study populations. Despite these limitations, we have tried in this chapter, wherever possible, to make comparisons between older schizophrenic persons and their age peers in the general population or with other psychiatric populations, and to make comparisons between older and younger schizophrenic persons. To expand our data sources, we have also extrapolated from studies of schizophrenic persons in general by using mean values and standard deviations and by incorporating any findings in which there is a breakdown by age.


I am glad he felt inspired. I will say though, that he isn't going to find quality like the Four Peppercorn Blend that Joy's Teaspoon carries in a grocery store. This quality of Peppercorn is sought after and as you can see the blend is very pure.
Joy's Teaspoon is Green Office Certified. What does that mean? It means that this company is environmentally savvy, use energy wisely, recycle, use recycled goods and use energy efficient products! You can connect with Joy's Teaspoon on Facebook, Twitter, Google + and Pinterest.
Disclaimer: I received this product to sample for review purposes in exchange for my honest opinion. All opinions above are my own.
I recently won a jar of Tropical Traditions Canadian Raw Honey and let me tell you I am super impressed with this product. First of all I had no idea what the requirements are for a honey to be considered organic and it is a little more strict than one might have thought.
"In order for honey to be certified organic, the beehives must be placed in isolated areas miles from the dense population, industry, traffic congestion, and farm fields treated with chemicals and landfills. Second, a bee's flying range is determined by their natural instinct which tells them to stay within their natural four mile range from the hive location. Finding area which can be certified organic is extremely difficult, which is why there are so few certified organic honeys on the market. Tropical Traditions sources its honey from hives in the wild frontier areas of Canada."
Now I understand why it is made in Canada, we have the land to accommodate such a venture. This honey is incredible. Because it is raw and has never been heated it is solid unlike grocery store honey. So it is filled with nutrients and beneficial enzymes. The resulting flavor is so pure and delicious it is like tasting honey for the very first time. I encourage you all to try it at least once, the benefits to the immune system are extraordinary.
For the last few weeks I have been posting reviews of various GoGo Quinoa products. While this was delicious, I must say I did not enjoy the Mushroom and Quinoa soup nearly as much as the Minestrone. It is blander then the tomato based products that I have sampled so far. So for those of you who prefer bland foods or are required to follow a bland diet due to digestive issues, this soup might be right up your alley. My oldest son actually enjoyed this soup a great deal and he is a lover of spice. This soup is gluten-free, vegan and 70% Organic.You can make it with any unsweetened milk of your choosing. I didn't get to add the optional coriander or parsley to garnish the soup as it suggested on the back of the package, I do think that either would have complimented the soup quite nicely.
Ingredients: Organic amaranth flour, organic quinoa flakes, organic white and/or red and/or black quinoa royal grains, chopped mushrooms, mushroom powder, organic quinoa flour, carrots, organic onion, parsley, salt, organic garlic, organic turmeric.

Naomi Rosen and I have two things in common: We both love tea and our mothers were both given the name Joy. Formed in 2010, Joy's teaspoon features a variety of teas and spices, many of which are organic and/or Fair Trade. The company that hosts their website is powered by carbon neutral and wind powered company. All of her products come in reusable tins or glass bottles. These are just a few of many of their Earth loving actions.
I received 3 different teas to review and 3 different spices. Today I will review the Mahalo Green Tea. Made with green tea leaves, pineapple cubes, mango cubes, flavoring, safflower and sunflower blossoms 1 oz of this tea can be brewed multiple times. All you need to do is increase the brewing time by 1-2 minutes. 1 oz of tea from Joy's teaspoon can provide 12 -15 single cup servings.
The tea is very sweet and really doesn't require sweetener, although if you must I recommend some raw honey. I'll let it slide this time! *winks* You can taste the fruity hints of pineapple and mango cubes throughout the tea. The tea leaves themselves are flavorful. I'll have you know I plan on spending the rest of the evening indulging in this never ending cup of tea. I made a whole pot, nothing like a hot cup of comfort.

This book was written by Judith A. Belmont, MS who is a national speaker and corporate wellness trainer with over 30 years experience as a psychotherapist and Lora Shor, MSW. Lora is a national health and wellness speaker, an international corporate work/life consultant to Fortune 500 companies and a therapist.
Instantly upon opening this book I was thrust into a world where at any moment I was behaving like one of three characters: The Swiss Wiz, The Swiss Cheese Fairy of Life, or the Negative Stinky Cheese. At first this whole notion while cute and fun, upon first glance seemed a little childish. I was concerned that some people might not take it seriously on account of such a playful analogy. It was my husband who shed light on this for me. He said that given the moods a person might be encountering while reaching out to a book like this, if it weren't written in such childish way a person might be too confused and flustered. As a result, they might find the average book with a similar theme of behavioral therapy a little overwhelming. I love him.
About 5 years ago we went to couples therapy, we had within 3 months of one another experienced the death of very dear family members. In my case, a grandfather who was a fatherly figure and huge musical influence in my life and in his case the passing of his father that resulted in us adopted his then 4 year old brother. Much of the topics that were covered in this book were golden tools that were taught by our therapist that really helped us through our difficulties. Both my husband and I recommend this book to anyone who finds themselves thinking stinky.

XenEssence Bath and Beauty is a Canadian based out of Ontario. They sent me a Lavender Bath Bomb, Pina Colada Lip Balm, Sweet Orange Un-petroleum Jelly and 3 other products that I will review separately to keep my review at reasonable length.
The Lavender Bath Bomb was pretty impressive. I washed my hair prior to placing the bath bomb in the water and then just put it in an up-do to keep it out of the water. I knew that the bath bomb must contain a lot of oil if they thought it important to enclose a note making sure that I washed my hair first. Sure enough as the bath bomb dissolved in the water I noticed tiny little lavender oil globules all around the tub. The bath water felt soft and exquisite and my skin felt as moisturized as it does with the best of lavender scrubs.
The Pina Colada Lip Balm wasn't thick like many lip balms on the market. It is very slick and non-greasy. It turns out the very first listed ingredient is Sweet Almond oil which is known for those attributes. This is probably hands down the best lip balm I have ever tried. It is more oily, less waxy and the oil is non greasy. It shines and it feels nice on my lips.
The Sweet Orange Un-Petroleum Jelly is great for any application that calls for Petroleum Jelly, except this Un-Petroleum Jelly is Petroleum free! I have been putting a tiny dab on my lips at bedtime and also using a small amount on my elbows which have been dryer than usual this year. It has been pretty windy around these parts as of late and my lips can use the extra protection. The sweet orange scent is quite invigorating.
You can find Xenessence Bath and Beauty on their website.

Constant Contact survey shows that most small businesses are trying to grow their email subscriber lists "at all times".
Historically, email marketing has been a staple of small business promotion. But in an age dominated by social media, mobile messaging and other enhanced communication alternatives, there is a sense among some that the heyday of email marketing has passed.
However, a recent study by email marketing provider Constant Contact showed that the majority of small business owners still rely on small business email marketing as an important part of their marketing strategies.
The most common way small businesses capture opt-in email addresses is through sign-up forms on the company website (92%), followed by direct requests (64%), Facebook sign-ups (46%) and sign-up sheets at point-of-sale (35%).
"More than two-thirds of the survey respondents said that they train employees to request customer contact information at points of interaction. As email maintains its central position in small business marketing, list growth is becoming a company-wide initiative that small business owners are passing down to all their other employees, from marketers to cashiers to servers," said Christopher Litster, senior vice president, sales and marketing at Constant Contact.
Although Constant Contact has a stake in the email marketing game, the survey demonstrates that email marketing continues to be a relevant and meaningful way for businesses to forge connections with their customers--and that the race to collect customer email addresses will be a feature of the small business marketplace well into the foreseeable future.

Q: RHEL file permissions I added a file in /etc/init.d but noticed that the file isn't a green color like the other files  when I do a ls -l What should I do to make it "green" or add the necessary file permissions?
Why are the files green in the first place?

A: The green color you are referring is subjective to the person who put your Linux distribution together, and has no fixed meaning in the Linux world.  However buy normal usage conventions it is normally associated with executable files.  In the comment above Ignacio was asking you to look deeper.  Example:
# ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  1729 Dec  8 06:10 acpid

What do you see?  If you look on the left side there are three sets of permissions.  In this case the user root can execute, read and write, members of the group root can read and execute and everyone else can read and execute.  The first dash on the far left is for special permissions, directories and symbolic links.
So how do you change this?  There are two basic ways, both involving the command chmod (change mode).  You could chmod u+x file  to allow the owner execute permissions to the file, or you could do chmod a+x to allow everyone including the owner and group execute permissions or you could do chmod 550 to give the owner and group read and execute permissions.
Wikipedia has a great article discussing chmod in general along with basic file permissions.

A: To answer your question
All you need to do is run the following command as root.

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/yourscript

Now, if you want to actually know why this works, continue reading.
Background
Permission are very easy to understand once someone explains them to you. All files and directories have 3 types of permissions and 3 different groups of people that can have different permissions.
All users can have the following permissions on files and directories:

*

*Read

*

*Folder: You may see the files in the folder

*File: You can read the file

*Write

*

*Folder: You can make files, move files, etc.

*File: You can change the data in a file.

*Execute

*

*Folder: You can cd into the folder

*File: You can run the file as a program.

These rights are given to 3 groups of people:

*

*Owner

*Group

*Other (everybody else)

On a Linux system, when you do an ls -l on /etc/init.d, you get results like:

$ ls -l /etc/init.d/
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  2787 2009-11-05 08:03 umountfs
   -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  2075 2009-10-14 00:16 umountnfs.sh

The first part (-rwxr-xr-x) lists the permissions, the third shows the owner (root), and the forth shows the group (root).
The permissions list is split into four parts. The first letter is the file type. If it is a file, it is a dash. If it is a directory it is a d. If it is a link it is an l. The next three letters represent the rights of the owner. rwx means the user can read, write, and execute. The next three letters represent the permissions of the group. The group in this case can only read an execute (r-x). W is replaced with a dash meaning it is not allowed. Finally, everyone not belonging to the group is given read and execute permissions (r-x).
Modifying permissions and ownership
Now that we have gone over identifying permissions, we can modify them.
chmod
chmod is the tool for changing permissions. A good example of its use is the one I gave you at the beginning of this answer.

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/yourscript

The first argument (755) gives the permissions and the next arguments are this list of files to modify.
The permission list 755 is a short way of saying -rwxr-xr-x. The first number is the permission for the owner, the second is the permission for the group. and the third is the permission for others. Each number represents rwx.
Permission numbers:

*

*Execute 1

*Write 2

*Read 4

The sum of the permission numbers is use in the chmod command. So, 7 is all rights (4+2+1) and 5 is read and execute (4+1).
So, putting it all together 755 is

*

*All permissions for owner

*Read and execute for group

*Read and execute of everybody else

chown
chown is the tool for changing ownership and groups. It is much more simple then chmod.

chown root.root /etc/init.d/yourscript

First argument is the user.group. The next arguments are the files to change. It is that simple.

A: chown root.root /etc/init.d/file
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/file

The Best EVER Boxing Rematches in History
By Lee Gormley October 21, 2019
As Anthony Joshua and Andy Ruiz Jr prepare to meet again, we look back at some of the best ever rematches in boxing history.
Anthony Joshua suffered a stunning upset at the hands of Andy Ruiz Jr back in June when he was dropped and stopped in seven dramatic rounds on his American debut at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
We all remember THIS moment! Credit: Instagram/andy_destroyer13
The British fighter will have the chance to reclaim the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles from the new champion when the pair collide in their highly anticipated rematch on December 7 in Saudi Arabia.
Ahead of this second clash, which is set to be one of the highlights of a strong end of the year for the sport, we take a look back at the best ever rematches in boxing history.
There have been so many great follow-up fights throughout history that it's tough to include them all but here are some of the most prominent in no particular order.
Note: We will only be including the second meetings between fighters in this list, so if there were any trilogies or further bouts, we will not be featuring those.
1. Rocky Graziano v Tony Zale II (1947)
The post-World War II clashes between Rocky Graziano and Tony Zale were as gruelling as it gets in the ring. Zale took a trouncing early in the brutal first meeting before stopping Graziano but the latter gained his rematch revenge with a sixth-round knockout.
In 1996, The Ring Magazine rated it as the second-best fight of all time.
2. Sugar Ray Robinson v Carmen Basilio II (1958)
A year earlier Sugar Ray Robinson had dropped his middleweight title to Carmen Basilio but prevailed in the pair's epic rematch to become the first four-time champion in the division's history.
This was one of the last great performances from the man widely regarded as the greatest of all time, famously leaving Basilio's eye in a complete mess after 15 rounds.
3. Rafael Marquez v Israel Vazquez II (2007)
These two warriors enjoyed a sublime four-fight series between 2007 and 2010, creating one of boxing's most pulsating rivalries. The second ended in controversial fashion in the sixth round, following a sensational third when both men were bloodied.
Israel Vazquez put it on Rafael Marquez after dropping him, forcing the referee to call an early halt to proceedings as he reclaimed the super-bantamweight title and avenged his stoppage loss five months prior.
4. Sugar Ray Leonard v Thomas Hearns II (1989)
As is sometimes the case, the rematch can never live up to the original fight and this is an example but the second meeting between Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns was still superb nevertheless.
'Sugar Ray' won the first 1981 Fight of the Year in what was one of the biggest bouts in history and the rematch didn't happen until eight years later. Leonard was dropped twice and looked set to lose on the cards, but another late rally earned him a dubious draw – a result still debated to this day.
5. Jake LaMotta v Laurent Dauthuille II (1950)
During a golden age for the middleweight division, Jake LaMotta and Frenchman Laurent Dauthuille were two important players and shared the ring for two incredible battles.
The latter secured the decision first time around but 'The Bronx Bull' gained a huge last-gasp victory in the follow-up meeting with a dramatic final-round KO.
6. Evander Holyfield v Riddick Bowe II (1993)
The Evander Holyfield-Riddick Bowe rivalry was a key factor in the talent-laden heavyweight landscape of the 1990's. Bowe decisively won their first sensational showdown on the cards but Holyfield came out on top a year later to recapture the crown in another thriller which was bizarrely marked by the 'Fan Man' incident.
7. Marco Antonio Barrera v Erik Morales II (2002)
It's impossible to discuss 21st century boxing without bringing up the remarkable Marco Antonio Barrera-Erik Morales rivalry. Barrera had his hand raised in this rematch after 12 exciting rounds against his fellow Mexican nemesis, inflicting his maiden career loss in the process.
8. Matthew Saad Muhammad v Yaqui Lopez II (1980)
The 1980 slugfest between this pair of light-heavyweight warriors is one of the great fights in boxing history; one which resulted in a deserved Fight of the Year award and the eighth stanza earning Round of the Year too.
Saad Muhammad retained his title after dropping Lopez four times then stopping him in the 14th.
9. Bobby Chacon v Cornelius Boza-Edwards II (1983)
Before Arturo Gatti, there was Bobby Chacon. The Californian was involved in back-to-back Fights of the Year, with this barnstormer being the second of such. Despite four knockdowns and two bad cuts during the course of the action, this brawl went the distance and Chacon triumphed by unanimous decision.
10. Arturo Gatti v Micky Ward II (2002)
This list would be incomplete without a mention of one of the sport's great warriors, Arturo Gatti. 'Thunder's' initial encounter with 'Irish' Micky Ward is stuff of boxing legend, leaving the rematch with unreasonable expectations.
But they still dished up another epic second portion in part two of a famous trilogy, with Gatti avenging his first loss.
11. Joe Louis v Max Schmeling II (1938)
It maybe wasn't one of the best but the rematch between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling is definitely one of the most historic and culturally significant.
'The Brown Bomber' was stunned in the first meeting but destroyed his previous German conqueror in the opening round of a fight holding massive political implications; with the American triumphing over a citizen of Nazi Germany at a time Adolf Hitler was plaguing the world with his fascist ideology.
12. Alexis Arguello v Aaron Pryor II (1983)
One of the great all-time boxing rivalries to round off our list.
Arguello attempted to become the first man in history to win championships in four weight divisions in the first meeting with Pryor, but the Nicaraguan was stopped in the 14th round of The Ring Magazine's then Fight of the Decade. The rematch was another thriller as Arguello came up short again, this time being stopped in the 10th.
Other notable rematches: Ricardo Lopez v Rosendo Alvarez II, James Toney v Mike McCallum II, Jack Dempsey v Gene Tunney II, Ivan Robinson v Arturo Gatti II, Michael Carbajal v Humberto Gonzalez II, Muhammad Ali v Joe Frazier II, Manny Pacquiao v Juan Manuel Marquez II, Yoshihiro Kamegai v Jesus Soto-Karass II, Tommy Hearns v Iran Barkley II, Riddick Bowe v Andrew Golota II, Jose Luis Ramirez v Edwin Rosario II, Diego Corrales v Joel Casamayor II.
