I may have mentioned it to you once, then reminded you the facts (in Pigeon: Impossible.) then told you p…-off for pushing things again… So, my last, chinese warning isn’t really last at all. You still be that ‘famous’ movable feast. In this way – not any longer. In other hand or should I say, in my side, there’s no need to make a problematic situation any worse that it is. Question: Not will be better to denouement (i.e.COP15/Il-76), as difficult and conflicted as it may seem right now? Thinking about, I see how “we” are hoping to accomplish a “lot” over the months ahead. So it be. I’ll, like always, be methodical about it. To organizing routines and sticking to the letter (Charlie, WE know what is mean a “New Deal” would we?). Dammed! How is true that “our” Prince Trust need some compassion right now! How the Prince Trust are judging himself too harshly and how he disapproving of himself too intently! How he feel that he have failed to reach a “particular standard”! How he think that he could have done (or could be doing) much better! Hence, he is refusing to give himself to the C R E D I T he deserves! Well, old chap, you will have the every chance to improve on past performances. Charlie, even your eyes I’m prepare to face head-on any “TRUST” looking for www.rainforessos.org trouble. You know well how to avoid responsibilities’ that don’t belong to ME. Chap Charlie, if you ignore the VAG Pigeon: Impossible – you’re done.

Bashneft is a Russian oil refining company one of the largest producer of oil products in the country. The company operates 140 oil and natural gas fields in Russia and has an annual oil production of 16 million tonnes. Bashneft owns three oil refineries located in Ufa with a combined capacity of 820,000 bbl/d (130,000 m3/d) and 100 petrol stations. The Russian holding Sistema bought a controlling stake in Bashneft in March 2009 for US$ 2.5 billion.

Data integration involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data. Master data management (MDM) comprises a set of processes and tools that consistently defines and manages the non-transactional data entities of an organization(which may include reference data).
Data governance is an emerging discipline with an evolving definition. The discipline embodies a convergence of data quality, data management, business process management, and risk management surrounding the handling of data in an organization. Data synchronization is the process of establishing consistency among data from a source to a target data storage and vice versa and the continuous harmonization of the data over time. It is fundamental to a wide variety of applications, including file synchronization and mobile device synchronization e.g. for PDAs. Data migration is the process of transferring data between storage types, formats, or computer systems. It is required when organizations or individuals change computer systems or upgrade to new systems, or when systems merge (such as when the organizations that use them undergo a merger/takeover). A data warehouse is a repository of an organization's electronically stored data. Data Consolidation is to allow consolidate spreadsheet data from one or several sheets from one or many open workbooks quickly and easily.

Secret mobile phone code cracked. By Palmer, technology correspondent. Published: December 29 2009 15:11 | Last updated: December 29 2009 15:11. Computer hackers this week said they had cracked and published the secret code that protects 80 per cent of the world’s mobile phones. The move will leave more than 3bn people vulnerable to having their calls intercepted, and could force mobile phone operators into a costly upgrade of their networks. Karsten Nohl, a German encryption expert, said he had organised the hack to demonstrate the weaknesses of the security measures protecting the global system for mobile communication (GSM) and to push mobile operators to improve their systems. “This shows that existing GSM security is inadequate,” Mr Nohl told an audience of about 600 people at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a four-day conference of computer hackers. Mr Nohl is due to run a practical demonstration of the code book at the conference on Wednesday. Mr Nohl, a widely-consulted cryptography expert with a doctorate in computer engineering from the University of Virginia, waged a similar campaign this year which caused the DECT Forum, a standards group based in Bern, to upgrade the security algorithm for 800m cordless home phones. The hacked GSM code could compromise over 3bn people in 212 countries. It does not affect 3G phone calls, however, which are protected by a different security code. The GSM Association, the industry body for mobile phone operators, which devised the A5/1 encryption algorithm 21 years ago, said they were monitoring the situation closely. “We are concerned but we don’t believe it will result in widespread eavesdropping tomorrow, or next week or next month,” said James Moran, security director of the GSMA. “The reality is that a practical attack is beyond the capabilities of the vast majority of people,” he said. However, security experts disagreed, saying that cracking the code significantly lowered the bar for intercepting calls. “A year ago it would have required equipment costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, and serious expertise to listen in to a call,” said Simon Bransfield-Garth, chief executive of Cellcrypt, a mobile phone encryption company. “Today it is going to require $1,500 of network equipment and a computer. It is getting down to a mainstream price tag and moving to the point when it will be straightforward to do.” Mr Moran said that if the hack was thought to pose a serious practical threat, the GSM Association could force all GSM operators to upgrade their security systems to use a stronger form of encryption. The GSMA has done this once before, in 2004, when security flaws were discovered in another security code, known as A5/2, and operators across Latin America, Asia and Africa were forced to upgrade their networks. A security upgrade could prove very costly, however, as some operators would have to replace their old base stations completely, Mr Moran said. The A5/2 upgrade, for example, took about 18 months. A decision on whether to upgrade to a stronger code could be taken at the next meeting of the GSMA security group in February.


Bashneft Oil Executive Shot Dead in Russia, Investigators Say. Business Exchange. Dec. 29 (Bloomberg) -- An executive at OAO Bashneft, the Russian oil producer controlled by billionaire Vladimir Yevtushenkov, was shot to death, investigators said. Vladimir Butorin, 57, was shot five times near his home in Ufa, capital of the Bashkortostan region in central Russia where the company is based, the Investigative Committee of the Prosecutor General’s Office said on its Web Site today. Putin: Мэр Москвы Юрий Лужков потребовал, чтобы столичная милиция как можно быстрее нашла человека, застрелившего водителя снегоуборочной машины на Севастопольском проспекте. Об этом 28 декабря сообщает агентство "Интерфакс". Butorin was in charge of Bashneft’s economic security department, according to the statement. Spokespeople for Yevtushenkov’s AFK Sistema holding company and Bashneft couldn’t be reached immediately for comment. Bashneft pumps about 260,000 barrels of crude a day, or 2.6 percent of Russian output, and accounts for about one-tenth of the country’s refining, according to the company. Как рассказали «КП» в пресс-службе компании, «Башнефть» устанавливает вознаграждение в размере 100 000 рублей всем, кто сообщит любую действенную информацию, касающуюся гибели Директора департамента экономической безопасности и защиты информации Буторина Владимира Павловича. Анонимность гарантируется. Напомним, что сегодня утром нашли начальник департамента экономической безопасности компании «Башнефть» 57-летний Владимир Буторин. По предварительно версии, это убийство – заказное. По факту убийства возбудили уголовное дело по статье "Убийство". Как рассказал «КП» источник близкий к следствию, убийцей Владимира Буторина могла быть женщина или переодетый в нее мужчина. - Видеокамеры, установленные во дворе дома, зафиксировали человека, который пропустил вперед Буторина, а потом пять раз выстрелил ему в спину и ягодицу, - рассказал «КП» источник. - Человек был в женской одежде, но походка была явно мужской. Не исключено, что это был переодетый мужчина. На месте преступления нашли гильзы от пистолета ПСС (пистолет Специальный Стратегический) - такие в основном используют спецслужбы. Скорее всего убийца пользовался глушителем - звуков выстрела никто не слышал. Мотив преступления - скорее всего профессиональная деятельность убитого.
