David Moyes ready to reignite title push
Momentum is building at Manchester United and manager David Moyes is confident the reigning champions will soon be challenging for the title.
Life after Sir Alex Ferguson was always going to be difficult, but few could have predicted United being eight points off the pace after nine matches.
They remain eighth in the Premier League after Saturday's 3-1 defeat of Fulham, although Moyes' side are slowly quietening the naysayers.
The victory at Craven Cottage was their fourth in succession in all competitions and the first time United have secured back-to-back league wins under the former Everton manager.
"We knew we would have to pick up points as we went along and I was always confident that would happen," Moyes said.
"It was a good victory, an important victory for us. It gets you three points and hopefully we will try and continue doing that and keep the momentum building.
"Our job is to climb the league table. We want to get the nearer the top and I have got no doubt that by the end of the season we will.
"Where we are right now I don't think is really that important, except that you don't want to let the teams get too far away from you and we've got to try and make sure they don't.
"We're going to have keep building on today's performance and the performances of the last week or so."
United's win came courtesy of three goals in 13 first-half minutes, with dodgy defending and clinical finishing allowing Antonio Valencia, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney to net.
Fulham pulled one back when Alex Kacaniklic's shot deflected in off Rooney, with the hosts impressing in a second half in which United started with the enforced substitutions of Tom Cleverley, Jonny Evans and Rafael.
"Tom Cleverley had double vision, Jonny Evans' back stiffened up and Rafa went over on his ankle on the touchline," Moyes said of the triple change.
"It forced me into three changes at half-time, which disrupted the momentum of the team a little bit and the fluency of the team. I was pleased with the lads that came on."
Moyes is hopeful the trio will be available for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Real Socieded, although concedes Rafael is the biggest doubt.
The injuries were the only negatives in a fine afternoon for United, whose strikers Van Persie and Rooney impressed once again.
"I thought there was great combination play between them," Moyes said. "I think they both made the goal for each other.
"There was good link-up play, so I am just starting to see really good signs from the two of them.
"It was great that they both got on the scoresheet because that is what forwards do and I have always said we need these boys to get a hatful of goals if you're going to be successful.
"They are both incredibly talented and both understand each other and the talents one another have got, so they are both excellent players."
Moyes also praised Fulham for the way they came out in the second half, coming close on several occasions to adding to Kacaniklic's strike.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Off-ice education program doesn't go far enough
Call it the Fisticuffs in Fargo.
Last weekend at a tournament in Fargo, N.D., several adults from two Manitoba hockey teams got into an old-fashioned hockey brawl.
The incident unfolded something like this: Hockey mom and dad from one Manitoba team barges into the dressing room of another Manitoba team following a game, a confrontation ensues and punches are thrown; witnesses include a dozen terrified eight-year-olds.
It's a horrible story, but not unprecedented. Most veteran hockey folk can, at the drop of a hat, relate stories about the three-alarm freak-outs, unauthorized incursions into dressing rooms and chest-thumping, glass-whacking grand mal seizures that regularly occur in arenas all over the province.
Hockey Winnipeg and the area associations involved in the Fargo incident have promised to take action. Unfortunately, there is very little they can do.
They could suspend the parents from future games. But if those parents wanted to fight those suspensions, they would find out hockey currently does not have much in the way of legal authority to discipline spectators. That is why the hysterical spectator is such an enduring part of our national pastime.
We have made great strides over the years to change some of the ugly aspects of our game. But unruly spectators are a problem that has mostly defied all efforts at reformation. That's not to say we aren't still trying.
This week, Hockey Winnipeg announced it would require one parent from each hockey family to complete Respect in Sport (RIS), an online seminar that outlines acceptable behaviour in hockey. Many years ago, Hockey Canada made RIS a mandatory component for coaching certification.
Hockey Winnipeg is following efforts by Hockey Calgary and other groups that are making parents take RIS in the hopes of curbing abhorrent behaviour.
It is an admirable undertaking but not likely to do much good. Hockey has been telling spectators for years not to yell at referees, opposing players and their own kids. We have created parent liaisons to police the stands. The bad behaviour endures.
What we haven't done is come up with an effective way of punishing bad spectator behaviour the way we punish bad on-ice behaviour.
Hockey has always put a lot of work into its rules and regulations. Hockey Canada sets out the broad strokes in its official rule book. Provincial and municipal bodies contribute additional rules and regulations.
However, none of these rules and regulations deal with spectators. Hockey has essentially adopted a policy that anything that happens in the stands before, during or after a game is not part of the game.
Traditionally, hockey's only weapon against unruly spectators has been to eject them from the arena. The decision to eject rests with the referee, aided by the arena attendant or manager.
The legal basis for ejecting fans has always been somewhat sketchy. There is nothing in hockey's rules or regulations that empowers referees to eject fans; it is seen as an extension of the rights granted by the owners of the arena to the group renting the ice.
That is to say, for the hour a particular hockey association rents ice, it has the power to decide who gets to stay and who should leave. As noted above, that has been the tradition, but it's a pretty ambiguous and incomplete solution.
For example, what if the fan refuses to leave? In some instances, the police can be called. Experienced referees will tell you they will, on occasion, threaten to suspend play, or assess bench minor penalties to the fan's team that owns the fan. That is mostly a bluff; the rule book does not include "failure to leave the rink" as a punishable offence.
The greater concern, however, is the complete lack of response after an incident has taken place. Governing bodies or area associations do not, as a rule, keep records of spectators involved in altercations or ejected from arenas. Many incidents such as the one in Fargo are simply not reported to anyone in hockey officialdom. The combatants are separated, profanities are exchanged and everyone goes their own way.
Sometimes a fan will be barred from attending games for a season or part of a season. But again, that is a penalty dished out without any formal authority. It's more like an odd extension of the honour system, where a spectator is told to stay away from the rink and he or she is expected to agree.
In addition to more education, hockey desperately needs to establish a formal contract with parents and extended family -- who constitute the gross majority of fans at a minor hockey game -- that allows for specific, enforceable sanctions for bad behaviour. The rules should also be changed to give on-ice officials the power to suspend or forfeit a game, or assess penalties to a team, if a fan of that team is disrupting play.
The hockey establishment may still be reluctant to get involved in fan incidents. However, as the eight-year-old witnesses to the Fisticuffs in Fargo will attest, what happens in the stands is absolutely, lamentably, part of the game.

"Star Mag...LIES!" she posted Thursday. "Literally not 1 factual thing in entire article. And, come 2 my house and weigh me Star! I'm 107lbs. if you care about FACTS?!?"

Why Labour is losing the immigration debate
Confronted with Ukip's scaremongering, the party vacillates
In just over a month, after an extraordinary campaign, voters will go to the polls at the European election. Extraordinary because, when it comes to the central contest between the two parties that most polls have in first and second place – Labour and Ukip – Labour has been wholly absent.
Yes, there have been events, announcements and doors knocked, but almost nothing that directly challenges the politics of division peddled by Ukip. For example, in March, Ed Miliband mounted his biggest intervention to date on Europe, yet avoided any mention of Labour's closest challenger. It's as if Nigel Farage has become Labour's Voldemort – he whose name cannot be mentioned. The reason is simple: immigration.
When confronted with Ukip's scaremongering about European immigration, Labour vacillates. Instead of making a clear case on the benefits of immigration for Britain, Labour spokespeople tie themselves up in knots of apologia.
Last week, Yvette Cooper gave a typically convoluted Labour speech on the topic. There was the mandatory apology for past immigration from Eastern Europe, an acknowledgement of the contribution from some migrants, such as international students, and a pledge to crack down on unscrupulous employers who fail to pay the minimum wage. The latter points are valid but the speech failed to make the single most important argument on migration: that immigrants put more into Britain than they take out.
Their net contribution – equivalent to more than 4p on the basic rate of income tax, according to calculations by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – helps fund our public services, cuts the deficit and reduces the pressure for deeper cuts or higher tax rises. This is the keystone of the case for migration. It rebuts Ukip's central charge on the costs of migration. Without it, Labour cedes the argument to Ukip and critically undermines its own case for Europe.
Labour has just hired the Obama guru David Axelrod to advise the party on its campaign approach. One of his first tasks should be to make clear to Ed Miliband that Labour needs directly to confront Britain's own Tea Party – Ukip – just as Obama has in the States. It is now impossible to win an argument for Britain in Europe without first demonstrating how we benefit from having Europeans in Britain.
As election day approaches, the tragedy for Labour is that the one British politician who seems to understand this is Nick Clegg. The Liberal Democrat leader has been vilified and sneered at for taking on Farage in those debates, but at least he was prepared to make the case. The polls might have gone against Clegg, but what do progressives expect when no one else has had the courage to take on the Ukip leader. Battles don't win themselves; they require politicians prepared to fight for what they believe in. I've spent much of my political life fighting Lib Dems. But, on this issue, I agree with Nick.

Landon Donovan praises David Moyes, says he'd be welcome in MLS
Apr 23, 2014, 11:41 AM EST
If David Moyes wants to leave the United Kingdom after his failed experiment at Manchester United, American legend Landon Donovan says the Scottish manager could do a great job in Major League Soccer.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated's SI Now, Donovan spent some time lamenting Moyes' dismissal from the Red Devils, lauding his former Everton boss and proffering future ideas for the Scot.
The current Los Angeles Galaxy attacker played for Moyes during a successful loan stints at Goodison Park in 2010 and 2012.
"I would love to have him here," Donovan said. "We have a fantastic coach in L.A. with Bruce, so it probably wouldn't be in L.A. But he's a terrific manager. I know he loves America. He often traveled to America for preseason with Everton and with other teams."
"I love David Moyes, not only as a manager but as a person. He was very good to me. He brought me to Everton and I was very hopeful he would do well at Manchester United. It's sad to see that he didn't get a little more time. But that's the way the world works these days and I'm sure he'll fall on his feet and do well."

Jonathan Papelbon is digging in.
"I like when people doubt me," the Red Sox closer said prior to his team's series-ending loss to the White Sox on Thursday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
The comment was born out of remembering those who believed he wouldn't hold up as a reliever, and would be better served remaining a starter heading into the 2007 season. ("A lot of people called me crazy," he noted.)
But it also was clearly in response to those offering opinions regarding Papelbon's downturn this season. As has been well-documented, the closer has never had the kind of struggles he endured this year, which has translated into career highs in ERA (4.02) and blown saves (8).
"Obviously, I wish I had a better year than I did this year. I think there was a domino effect this year. I think there were a lot players on this team that wished they had better years, but when you have players hurt there is going to be a domino effect. But I'm healthy, and that's the key," Papelbon said.
"The season is more satisfying to me [than frustrating], because of one simple thing: I'm throwing this breaking ball, the slider, that is better than I've ever thrown. In my mind, now I'm going into a healthy, to-be-free agent year with three pitches and healthy. I've reached exactly where I want to be with health, where I want to be as a pitcher, and I can't complain."
In Papelbon's eyes, the excitement of what awaits pushes aside any recent struggles.
As he points out, his velocity has been as good as it has been in the past few years, his health is fine, and in the past few weeks the closer has discovered a slider that has nurtured a new wave of optimism.
He acknowledges his 2010 campaign wasn't like his previous five in the big leagues: "I would say my focus was a little off this year. I wavered a little bit. My mental game was a little bit off because I wavered more than I did in the past. On the field, off the field, everything." But it was a diversion that hasn't left Papelbon lacking confidence heading into the final year before becoming eligible for free agency.
"I think everything has come full circle," the 29-year-old said. "I've developed a third out-pitch, which I've been really successful with this year, and it's only going to get better. How may closers out there have three legitimate out-pitches? I think for me, and my career, and my health, everything has come full circle to this final year. I'm looking forward to a big year next year, with a lot of motivation.
"I'm definitely very happy the way my career is going. I wish I could have had a better year this year, but it's all hindsight and it all comes full circle to now, using my slider and everything else.
"My pitches are there, my health is there, my velocity is there. What else can I hope for?"
For Papelbon, the answer isn't hard to find.
Back in '07, fresh off the decision to serve as the Red Sox closer, Papelbon spoke of his intention to go year-to-year with his contract if a suitable multiyear deal didn't present itself. In the pitcher's mind, it hasn't. For two straight years he has settled on record-breaking deals, allowing him to avoid arbitration. (He made $9.35 million in '10, the richest contract for any second-year arbitration-eligible reliever.)
Now Papelbon is facing the last piece of his puzzle: One final season — armed with his aforementioned arsenal — before delving into the free agent experience he started eyeing years before.
He has talked time and time again about attempting to set the market for closers, just like Mariano Rivera did when he signed a three-year, $45 million deal prior to the '08 season.
"There's no question," Papelbon said when asked if he will be more motivated than ever in the coming months. "This offseason will be different than any other offseason, for sure, as far as motivation and what I need to accomplish. At the same time, I have a chance to do what no closer has done before and something for this role that can benefit the game. Just like Mariano did. I think there's a certain obligation for people out there at their position to try and better the game."
He is keenly aware of what Rivera is making, as well as the contracts recently doled out to closers over the past few seasons. Papelbon is first and foremost worrying about his own lot in life (remember, health, slider, velocity, etc.), but he isn't blind to what industry movement is paving his road to beyond next season.
"I think it's changed a little bit for the better. Closers are starting to get recognized a lot more," Papelbon explained. "I think it's definitely a role that will never get fully recognized.
"You know what we are? We're an insurance policy for your starters. And with insurance policies you have to pay the premium for the insurance policy."
How much that premium costs remains to be seen. It will undoubtedly depend on if Papelbon's current optimism can translate into the kind of season he fully believes is around the corner.
"I love a challenge," the reliever said.
Good thing. He's about to get perhaps his biggest one yet.
The guys have even more reaction to Deflategate and if this is actually a showdown between Bill and Roger.
Tom E. Curran calls the boys during his layover in Denver and gets right into the Deflategate craziness. Tom talks about his knowledge of the situation including his thoughts on if the NFL was indeed trying to set up and catch the Pats in the act. He gets into the relationship between Belichick and the league office, Belichick and Kraft and the actual game on Super Bowl Sunday.
Greg and Steve discuss the Deflategate debacle with callers and give their theories as to what went down in Foxboro last week against the Colts. Both guys think that Pats may be guilty of doing something to the balls, but that so do most other teams. Will Belichick and Brady be punished? Not if the NFL doesn't have proof, which it's looking more and more like they don't.

The Red Sox have taken over Foxwoods and Red Sox Manager John Farrell sat down with Mut and Bradford to talk about the roster and how the 2015 season is looking.
Red Sox pitcher Joe Kelly and 3B Pablo Sandoval sat down with Mut and Bradford. Joe Kelly had a few interesting proclamations. First he said that 95% of pitchers use some sort of grip enhancer, and then he said he was going to win the Cy Young. Pablo leaned over and promised 10 HR's, explaining to Joe that the trick is to set the bar low.
Mut and Rob are in on the Hot Stove Show this week and they're taking calls and talking about the Red Sox pitching as we are 5 weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training.

"Jomashop is an awesome company that provides high end watches at incredible prices. Purchased a Baume & Mercier and took it in to Jared's Jewelry to have links taken out. They absolutely loved the watch as I do also. I checked for weeks and finally remembered Jomashop and got an outstanding deal!!!! Other companies were around $600 higher. Love this store!!!!
As a watch lover; I will certainly make future purchases!!! I have also made many referrals to your company for a fantastic deal!!!! So impressed with my beautiful watch!!!!! Put Jomashop on my facedbook #1114612 "
"excellent service! my watch was delivered faster than expected! i will certainly buy from Jomashop again-- highly recommended."
"Pricing was the best on the Internet and service was outstanding I would definitely use them again!"
" Hello there
I would like to give Jomashop a 10!!, I got a Michael Kors cross-body from them a week ago and the service was fantastic including free shipping and I got it so fast!! :), you can actually track your order online and it only took three days!!!! I am really happy with their service and the cross body it's 100% real....I recently bought 2 Michael Kors watches, oh well my boyfriend got me one and I got the other one I'm just waiting for them....I just want you to tell you to trust Jomashop and even if you are not so sure about them you can look on BBB( Better Business Bureau) and they have almost a 10! very few complaints and all resolved... I am a happy costumer and I am definitely going to buy from them again and again!! :D THANK YOU JOMASHOP!!!!! :)
Cinthya Valadez"
"The watch is very nice. I help my friend choose MIDO.He told me he very like it. The shipping is in time."
"Excellent selection of watches, from inexpensive, to high end. Prices are always very competitive, and the quality they offer is wonderful. Very trustworthy company that I would gladly refer a friend to and plan to do business with in the future."
"cheaper than other online shop,and all kinds of bands can choice ,bu the website is a little confused because too many text in one page."
"Purchasing was a great experience, online and phone customer service replied promptly and clarified doubts about the product (a photo was not showing slight color differences clearly) and they shipped very quickly, particularly impressive given this was right before Christmas. And the price seemed fair.
The watch arrived next day, although the box was slightly dented. Not sure if it was UPS or poor padding.
Unfortunately the watch is running too fast, so now will have to try their warranty and will report how the experience will be. I also just moved abroad, so will also find out how the experience goes for international buyers.
"I purchased a Seiko Sportura watch a little before Christmas and got a note six days later stating they have to cancel the order as 'it is no longer available at this time'. Disappointed as it was a Christmas present.
Thinking this was an isolated incident, I ordered a Seiko Velatura watch and sure enough three days later I got the same email stating the order had to be cancelled as 'it is no longer available at this time'.
What a scam! Seems like its either a front to collect credit card information or they just keep putting out promotional ads without verifying inventory. To add to it they will send you a $5 voucher to compensate! What a joke.
Save yourself time and frustration and order off Amazon. The prices are mostly similar and sometimes a little more but at least you are guaranteed to get what you ordered.
"The website was easy to use, and the checkout was fast, and it didnt take long to get my watch."
"Everything arrived in fine working order. I requested next day delivery, and the package arrived before I received an email with the tracking number. I feel I received a good deal on the product."
"Loved my MK watch even more to find out I saved so much on it and how fast it received it! This was my first time shopping on here and it definitely won't be my last time! "

.- One or more vandals recently spray painted a misspelled phrase "Kill the Cathlics" on two different Catholic churches in California.
The phrase appeared on St. Boniface Catholic Church in Anaheim and at St. Thomas More Parish in Irvine, about 20 miles away. Both incidents were discovered on the morning of Jan. 11.
Church officials are working with police to find who is responsible.
Sgt. Rick Martinez, public information officer for the Anaheim Police Department, told CNA there are still no suspects in the case.
Video surveillance from a camera at the church was not useful in revealing the identity or the sex of the person. The video footage shows a vehicle and a person at the church around 3 a.m. but police are not sure if the person in the video is connected to the vandalism.
Two other vandalism incidents were reported at the same time. A pet store and the wall of a local bank were both marked by derogatory comments containing ethnic animosity. Only the pet store graffiti had a reference to Catholics, and this reference was correctly spelled. The three acts of vandalism took place within an 11-mile radius of each other, with St. Boniface being in the middle of the two other crime scenes.
Martinez said he was not sure if the incident in Irvine, Calif. was related to the vandalism in Anaheim.
The California Catholic Daily says there have been several thefts and vandalism incidents at area Catholic churches in recent years. An ex-convict on parole has been arrested in connection with a series of "poor box" thefts at Holy Family parish in Glendale and at St. Finbar parish in Burbank.

The company's financials are solid and its business position is secure. The company's long-term interest is now closely aligned with those of the largest brewer in the world, A-B,' Bormann said.

Apple MacBook Air (Mid 2011)
The rumors have been a few weeks off, but our predictions were right. About ten months after Apple took a second, far more successful swing at the MacBook Air ($999-$1,599), it has followed it up with an impressively improved new lineup—changes that aren't groundbreaking, but all very much welcome, and considerably improving the horsepower of Apple's new base model MacBook. That's right—the MacBook's gone, so long live MacBook Air.
Not surprisingly, both the 11" and 13" MacBook Air models stuck around. The base version of the smaller model still only has 2GB of RAM and 64GB of Flash memory, but it's been updated with a new 1.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor—a major upgrade that should really boost performance. There's also a beefed-up version with the same processor but double the memory and storage space, and a "best" model with a 1.8GHz Core i7 and 256GB of storage. The 13-incher is sporting similar specs, with a 1.7GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and between 128 and 256GB of storage, upgradable to 1.8GHz. Not too shabby. To keep up with the rest of the family, Apple has replaced the Mini DisplayPort with Thunderbolt, the whole line has Intel HD Graphics 3000 cards, and the keyboard is backlit. The FaceTime camera isn't HD like on all of the other machines, but the MacBook Air does have something no other Mac has—Bluetooth 4.0. All in all, it's a great machine, and a worthy final nail in the coffin of the now-defunct MacBook.

Aker Solutions has been awarded another contract for delivery of a deepwater drilling riser system to Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME). Contract value is approximately $35 million. The contract is for the delivery of a complete deepwater marine drilling riser system with buoyancy package and associated equipment. The 7 500 ft system will be used for a semi submersible drilling rig that DSME is building. This is the fourth deepwater drilling riser contract DSME has awarded Aker Solutions this year. "We are offering a technology that focuses on safe operations and offers significant time savings when connecting the riser joints. This results in significant reduction in costs from both reduced manpower and rig operations.

Old City store owner gets prison time for elephant ivory smuggling
- Jeff Blumenthal
- Reporter- Philadelphia Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
A dealer of African art who had a shop in Old City Philadelphia was sentenced to 30 months in prison for illegally smuggling elephant ivory in the United States.
Victor Gordon. 71, of Penn Valley, Pa., was also ordered by U.S. District Judge Kiyo Matsumoto in Brooklyn, N.Y., to pay a $7,500 fine and forfeit $150,000 along with roughly one ton of elephant ivory that was seized from his store in April 2009.
Gordon, whose store at 31 N. 3rd St. proclaimed itself "the most unusual store in Philadelphia," faced charges of conspiracy, smuggling and violations of the Lacey Act. Prosecutors said over a nine-year period, Gordon acquired more than 400 pieces of carved elephant ivory, valued at roughly $800,000. At the time authorities searched his store, he was trying to sell his business, including the ivory collection, for $20 million.
In a 10-count felony indictment, the government charged that Gordon paid a co-conspirator to travel to Africa to buy the elephant ivory and have it carved to his specifications, then stained or dyed to appear old. The period covered went from May 2006 to April 2009. Goods were imported through John F. Kennedy International Airport and then sold to customers at Gordon's store, Victor Gordon Enterprises, in Philadelphia, prosecutors said
Illegal trade in African elephant ivory is a major threat to elephant populations in Africa, particularly in the hardest hit poaching regions of West and Central Africa, where the ivory in this investigation originated, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
African elephants are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, an international treaty that dates to 1975.

Since June 7, we've been in the muddy slog of the retrograde, retracing our steps and dealing with an enforced slowdown. If your mind has been complete mush, you'll be happy to know that Mercury, the planet in charge of communication, finally goes direct on July 1.
Your instinct might be to jump in immediately, getting back to whatever it is that you had to put on hold during the first week of June. It's true that you can now move forward, but heed the shadow of the retrograde: the 10-day period between the day Mercury goes direct (on the 1st) and the day that it's back to "normal" speed.
With Mercury returning to direct motion in its home sign of Gemini, the sensations are doubled, much like The Twins of this sign's glyph. When direct, Mercury in Gemini is at its best, flowing with a rhythm that can make you ridiculously productive and mentally alert.
Share a free sample Dharma and Karma Charts. Astrology for the soul! Try your free Dharma Chart Karma Chart today!
But since Mercury has been in reverse in this sign of the mind, you've probably been a bit of a babbling mess. It's been hard to find the right words in the last few weeks -- both in conversations and in written communication.
Luckily, by mid-July you'll be back to a speedy state, with your intellect in tip-top shape. The only problem with Mercury in Gemini is that sometimes your mouth opens faster than your mind composes your thoughts. You can definitely succumb to thinking before speaking.
As Mercury warms up and moves back to full speed during the first 10 days of July, pay close attention to the way your thoughts and emotions interact. Expect them to feel a bit jumbled for a little while.
A good way to work through the transition is to dust off your journal and do some free-writing each night before bed, or first thing in the morning. Literally collect your thoughts on the pages before you. You'll find the clarity you've been missing -- post haste!

"Very practical!!"
This book is on the dot. I've read and listened to several books of his already and is always refreshing and informative. The information you get out of this is practical. As soon as you are done listening to it, you can use the learned skills after you are done with the audio.
I wish I can remember all 8 hours of it, but what I remember most is how to finish BIG tasks single minded before doing anything first. Like I said, it's practical and it worked right away. I mean it's obvious that you have to do the most important tasks first, but there is more to it. Brian Tracy explains it effectively without wasting your time.
I like that he is very calm and informative. He might sound monotone, but I got use to it. His fresh information keeps me glued.
That time can never be bought back .
"Very Fresh and Practical"
So far this is one book that I can say is most impactful out all the other books I've read about self-development.
If you are having trouble, just acknowledge the trouble and tell yourself it's ok.
I like the study of the kids carrying bags of hershey's kisses to school and was told not to eat it. Techniques that were given to the kids were easy but amazing.
So practical, you can use it after seeing it.
"It's ok"
The author is too descriptive. By doing that, he overdoes it and repeats a lot of the same stuff in different ways. You'll enjoy it through the first 2 hours of it, but, like I said, he overdoes his story telling and makes it boring. Makes you wanna go, "get to the point" or "tell me something you didn't say already". Sorry! Other might like it, but overall, I wouldn't listen to it again.
Try Brian Tracy! He is my favorite. Everything I listen to is affirmative and uplifting every time.
Have him write something that is less descriptive and to the point instead of repeating the same stuff by changing the words around. Also, it starts to sound like he is making stuff up. I would enjoy it better if he cite his work. He makes it sound like he is an expert in all aspect of life.
A lot of his repetitive stuff.
All has been said.

Student Advantage sells SA Cash program to Blackboard
Student Advantage Inc. has sold most of the assets of its SA Cash program to Washington, D.C.-based Blackboard Inc. for $4.5 million in cash.
Boston-based Student Advantage, an Internet media and commerce company that targets college students, is now the exclusive provider of membership and rewards programs to Blackboard's clients. The two companies have also signed a limited licensing agreement in which Student Advantage will offer SA Cash to a specific number of colleges and universities.
"We believe this relationship with Blackboard will accelerate the broad acceptance of university ID stored-value programs," said Student Advantage president and CEO Raymond Sozzi.
The Nasdaq-traded Student Advantage � which is also facing a delisting threat from the exchange for failing to meet minimum share-price requirements � has been trying to revert to a private company. A group of stockholders, including Sozzi, are in discussions with the company concerning a possible acquisition of the company or its assets.
The company also reported that its Jan. 31 loan payment to New York City-based Reservoir Capital Partners has been reduced from $3.5 million to $1.5 million. According to the company, it plans to use about $3 million from the sale for ongoing operations expenses. On March 31, Student Advantage is scheduled to make a $4 million payment to Reservoir.
The share price of the company closed at 24 cents last Friday. During the past 52 weeks, it has traded between 17 cents and $2.18.

By the end of the year, Belgium may open its consulate general in Chennai.
Speaking at the opening of the visa application centre in Chennai, Karl Van den Bossche, consul general of Belgium in Mumbai, said, "At a time when we are closing down 10 embassies across the world, we plan to open one in Chennai. This is a big decision for us at a time when we are facing budgetary constraints and economic crisis."
Nearly 30 percent of their visa applications come from southern India and Chennai is considered the best option to set up a consulate general as it is an industrial hub with a port, and automotive and pharmaceutical industries.
"Opening of this Visa Application Centre means that we bring the services we can offer closer to you. Having a centre here means applications can be submitted here. They will be sent to Mumbai and processed in 24 hours," he said.
Last year alone, the Belgian consulate received over 34,000 visa applications from travellers in the southern and western regions of the country.
On the challenge of handling fake documents, Vishal Jairath, regional head, South Asia, VFS Global, an outsourcing and technology specialist for diplomatic missions and government, said they had specialised staff to scrutinise and verify these documents.
A business delegation headed by Prince Philippe, crown prince of Belgium, will visit Chennai, Mumbai and New Delhi in November.
