An Underdog Model for Gamma-ray Bursts:
Galactic Halo Models Based on High Velocity Neutron Stars

In this talk I will first give a brief summary of the observations of Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs), especially the highlights from the recent Huntsville GRB workshop. Then I will present several galactic halo models based on the high velocity neutron stars, and explicitly explain the assumptions in order to make the models viable. Several predictions are outlined, with the emphasis on observing M31. In the end, I will discuss some new results regarding the GRB time-histories and their implications for the emission processes in GRBs.
