Games already take up enough cpu and I don't need your ads eating up more of it and slowing my computer. Plus it is really annoying!
It is very frustrating when the ads and pop up work just fine but not the game or video or news article that I am actually trying to use. I used to think it was my computer, but realized it is Yahoo. Why should I have to upgrade my computer and internet data packages so I can view your unwanted ads and pop ups? I feel you should be paying me to visit your site. Each year it just gets more and more cluttered.101st ranked

Why does my ex boyfriend still call me every so often?? help!!!
ok here's the story! I'll try to make it as short as possible my ex an I were together for 6 1/2 years! engaged an very very close best friends I had... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
First of all, sorry to hear about your younger brother R.I.P. He flat out misses you and wants you back. He is hoping that if he keeps calling you will just give in and tell him that you want him back. I'm kinda going through the same situation right now. She is seeing another guy who she basically left me for and now she is e-mailing me and phoning telling me that she feels alone and she misses talking to me. But the fact is, is that they are still with that person. It would be a different story if he broke up with her and said he wanted to start over. But even then, could you ever trust him again? he wants to play boths sides of the coin, which is a dick thing to do. Stick to your guns and keep telling him to piss off! I admire you for all you been through though. If he really doesn't love her and loves you then he would have moved out and ended his current relationship and started to really prove himself to you. Instead he is all talk over the phone with his petty little phone calls. When he calls don't even give him a chance to speak because he doesn't deserve it. Hope I helped! Stay strong and hang in there.
Thank you for your input I'm never taking him back no matter what!!
What Guys Said 1
What Girls Said 2
YOUR ex is a total jerk. You deserve so much better than that. ANY girl deserves someone better. If he really loved you he wouldn't have left you for another girl in the first place. He really doesn't know what he wants. He probably wants you and her at the same time. I know it really sucks when a guy uses you. My ex boyfriend I dated for over 2 years kept dumping me and asking for me back when he really needed me or something. We both need to get away from these assholes. GOOD LUCK. There are so many more better men who have it together.
Hell yes girrl !!! no more assholes for us!!! lol I hear ya thank you for ur input
Yall were close. Why not be friends? I mean you said so yourself how close you were. He just doesn't want to lose all of you. I mean you were engaged and your families were tight. But it that is too hard/weird/wrong to you since he left you for another girl I understand. You are just going to have to talk to him or just ignore him until he stops. But I think he still loves/cares for you and he is realizing he made a mistake. Word of caution, if he cheats/leaves you once they will do it again. So be careful, for your kids and your sake, if you take him back. But yeah he wants you back. Its your choice and I would think real hard on 1. Whether you want him back 2. Friends, or not friends.
Def. is way to hard to still be friends an tempting also so I can't neva an I even broke contact with his mom who still wanted to speak but couldn't because it was sooo hard!!
Have an opinion?

About this Documentary
Scientists and entrepreneurs from around the globe share why they continue to defy conventional health wisdom to passionately promote the Paleo lifestyle for optimal health.
"We Love Paleo is an international documentary film that focuses on what the Paleo lifestyle is and how it promotes optimal gene expression thus, optimal health."
Our feature documentary intends to spread the Paleo message and raise public awareness about this healthy alternative to the Standard American/Western Diet (SAD). The film presents the basic tenets of the Paleo movement through the eyes of various characters who have adopted the lifestyle and have thrived ever since. Common misconceptions about the lifestyle are also addressed. The second aspect of the documentary reflects on how the characters were profoundly transformed by their new way of life and became passionate about promoting the Paleo lifestyle through their business as a means for others to achieve optimal health. The film reveals what it means to be Paleo in a mainstream world and go against Conventional Health Wisdom and defy dogma.

You can sink your teeth into something sweet on Thursday at the annual Peach Festival in Charlie.
Area farmers say they're expecting a bumper strawberry crop this year.
The past several years have been a far cry from easy for area farmers who are doing their best to survive this terrible drought.
The annual Charlie-Thornberry Pecan Festival is Thursday.
It's the time of year when strawberries are being planted around Texoma. A Clay County farmer is experimenting with berries from another country.
Farmers say they have a full black-eyed pea crop this year.
Recent storms skipped over the Charlie-Thornberry area, so the farmers' crops weren't damaged by hail or gusting winds. And thanks to recent rains, growers say they have surplus of two crops that have been hard to come by these past couple years.
Farmers say this year's strawberry crop outshines many others.

Zack Greinke can block a trade to 15 teams in 2011
Oct 20, 2010, 4:45 PM EDT
As the Royals drop more and more hints that they'll be entertaining offers for Zack Greinke this winter Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com passes along the details of Greinke's no-trade clause.
According to Morosi, he has the right to block a trade to a pre-selected list of 20 teams through the end of this year. Next year that number drops to 15 teams and he has zero ability to block a trade in 2012, which is the final season of his four-year, $38 million contract.
Morosi notes that Greinke has picked primarily large-market teams to include on his no-trade list, which is smart given that those are the teams most likely to deal for him and the $13.5 million he's owed in each of the next two years. This season, for instance, the Rays weren't on his list of blocked teams, but the Yankees and Red Sox were.
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - Oct 20, 2010 at 4:49 PM
Also, Greinke most definitely can't handle the big time media blitz he'd see in a lot of big market towns. He can never be a "true yankee" due to this fact (ha!). The dude was a head case prior to getting his shizz together and winning a Cy Young.
- JBerardi - Oct 20, 2010 at 5:09 PM
Yeah, but he got his shizz together and won a Cy. I'll take the guy who's been through the ringer and came out stronger on the other side any day.
- professorperry - Oct 20, 2010 at 5:22 PM
He has a block to the Red Sox and Yanks (and other big money teams) so his agent can re-negotiate for more $$$ if he is traded there. It's not about fear.
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - Oct 20, 2010 at 5:38 PM
I hear you. I think he could probably handle a big market team's media attention, but I am not confident he'd excel in any one of those big market locations. Although, I hate seeing his talent wasted in KC that's for sure.
- Chris Fiorentino - Oct 20, 2010 at 4:55 PM
He needs to stick to teams that don't make the postseason. He would probably end up crying in the fetal position if he is due to pitch a big game in the playoffs. Sad but true.
- friarfan - Oct 20, 2010 at 8:26 PM
You are rediculous. The second he becomes a Phillie, he'll suddenly be the greatest pitcher of all time.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Oct 20, 2010 at 5:09 PM
I think if Zach's head wasn't put back together entirely, he wouldn't be here in the first place, and he sure as heck wouldn't have won a Cy Young. I think that while he probably wouldn't be ecstatic about the east coast limelight, I don't think he'd drop a deuce in his pants about it either.
I'd love to see the Cubs get him, but the Reds, Nationals, Tigers and Diamondbacks are likely spots.
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - Oct 20, 2010 at 5:35 PM
I'd love the Cubs to get him too. I miss going to Wrigley (best park in baseball despite the toilet issues) and actually watching baseball.
- WhenMattStairsIsKing - Oct 20, 2010 at 5:44 PM
There's nothing like it, eh?
- shawon0meter - Oct 20, 2010 at 8:19 PM
I'd love to see him go to the Cubs as well
But seeing as how the Cubs owner has no intention of winning games, I hope he goes to the Twins.
- metalhead65 - Oct 21, 2010 at 12:15 AM
I would love to see the reds get him so their pitchers could see a young starter like themselves can go more than 5 innings in a game. but then dusty would leave him in for 9 innings every start and ruin his arm.

Abstract: This chapter of my book manuscript, States of Dependency: Welfare, Rights, and American Governance, 1935-1965, follows public assistance into the 1950s, when restive state politicians became federal administrators' biggest problem. By this point, statutory reforms, administrative practices, and socio-economic changes had caused the number of public assistance recipients to grow and their perceived deservingness to wane. But federal administrators, many of whom had remained in place since the mid-1930s, continued to push their New Deal vision. With the Depression over and more conservative leadership in place at the federal level, some state officials pushed back: throughout the early Cold War period, they questioned federal policies, disobeyed federal agency mandates, and with increasing confidence, advanced their own interpretations of federal law, sometimes even attempting to drag the federal agency into court. This chapter examines several of the states that, for varying reasons, posed the most serious challenges to federal administrators between the late 1940s and early 1960s. They are not the states that scholars might expect. To date, studies of post-war welfare "backlash" have tended to focus on the Deep South, and have invoked race as the key explanatory variable. The episodes in this chapter—involving Arizona, Indiana, and New York—invite a more nuanced interpretation, in which race figures importantly, but so do suspicions of technocratic and bureaucratic governance, tensions in federal-state-local relations, and deep disagreements over which authorities and institutions were entitled to determine the content and boundaries of citizenship.

"Unlawful Powers: Discerning and Denying the Presence of Slavery"
The Ronald A. and Kristine S. Erickson Legal History Lecture
Rebecca Scott, Charles Gibson Distinguished University Professor of History, Professor of Law, University of Michigan
Abstract: Slavery in the nineteenth-century Americas rested on the recognition of property rights in persons, but what is less clear is the process by which property in a particular person came to be seen as legally and socially legitimate. How did law and society "know" a person to be a slave, and how might a person so claimed prove otherwise? In this lecture Rebecca Scott explores the stories of three women, each of whom was held or seized as property in nineteenth-century Louisiana, and each of whom had a potential claim to free status. The child named Sanitte and the woman called Adélaide Métayer had come as refugees from the Caribbean colony of Saint-Domingue; the grandmother named Eulalie Oliveau had been born under Spanish rule in the parish of Pointe Coupée, upriver from New Orleans. Law acted upon them, and they themselves sometimes sought recourse to law. Once they came within the realm of law, however, their fates depended crucially on fragile networks of kinship and alliance, on people who could assist them but could also betray them.

"Other Foreigners: U. S. Immigration and Citizenship Law, 1600-2000"
Kunal Parker, Professor of Law and Dean's Distinguished Scholar, University of Miami School of Law
Abstract: This book reconceptualizes the history of U.S. immigration and citizenship law from the colonial period to the beginning of the twenty-first century by joining the histories of immigrants to those of Native Americans, blacks, women, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, and the poor. At the earliest stages of American history, the book argues, being legally constructed as a foreigner, together with being subjected to restrictions on presence and movement, was not confined to those who sought to enter the country from the outside, but was also used against those on the inside. Insiders thus shared important legal disabilities with outsiders. It is only over the course of four centuries, with the spread of formal and substantive citizenship among the domestic population, a hardening distinction between citizen and alien, and the rise of a powerful centralized state, that the uniquely disabled legal subject we recognize today as the immigrant emerged. The book thus advances new ways of understanding the relationship between foreignness and subordination over the long span of American history.
"Three Americans and the Shaping of the UN Conventions on Refugees and the Stateless"
Linda K. Kerber, May Brodbeck Professor in the Liberal Arts & Sciences, Professor of History Emerita and Lecturer in the College of Law, University of Iowa
Abstract: In this paper, I reflect on the nexus between stateless persons, refugees, and international protection. The United States did not sign either of the statelessness conventions of 1954 and 1961. It did not embrace the Refugee Convention of 1951 until the Protocol of 1967 was added (and Lyndon Johnson was in the White House). But three American lawyers, all in their early 30s when first involved, played central roles in the shaping of these conventions. For Dorothy Kenyon, Manley O. Hudson and Louis Henkin, stateless persons, refugees and international protection were inextricably linked. They were patriots who never lost their skepticism. They were idealists who never lost their passion. The accomplishments—and defeats—of their work continue to infuse our own ability to address the challenges of immigration today.
"Conscientious Objection, Conscience Clauses, and Religious Exemptions: Debating Rights, Obligations, and the Public Sphere, 1973-1974"
Sara Dubow, Associate Professor of History, Williams College
Abstract: In 1973 and 1974, Congress passed three laws that included exemptions for individuals, groups, and organizations with religious or moral objections: The Public Health Services Act, which exempted health care personnel and institutions with religious or moral objections from providing or performing abortions or sterilization procedures; the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, which required that states include religious exemptions to child neglect regulations; and an amendment to the National Labor Relations Act,, which exempted employees who are members of religion or sect opposed to labor organizations from paying union dues. That same Congress considered but did not pass the World Peace Tax Fund Act, which would have allowed taxpayers to designate the payment of their income taxes to a fund that would not be appropriated for any military purposes. This paper analyzes these laws as a way of understanding how debates over Vietnam, abortion, and the "rights revolution" had generated new ways of conceptualizing and legislating conflicts between private beliefs and public policies, and a new set of questions about the relationship between individual rights, the obligations of citizenship, and the public sphere.
"Faith and Property in African American History"
Dylan Penningroth, Professor of History, Northwestern University
Abstract: This paper aims to raise some questions about the meaning and significance of "civil rights" by examining African Americans' encounter with the private law of religion. It argues that the rise of independent black institutions was accompanied by an explosion of black legal activity and that a close look at the written residue of that activity can change the way we think about race and law in this period. Black people challenged powerful whites for control of property belonging to America's big Protestant denominations; they brought suits in internal disputes; and they engaged in the routine legal activity of running a church. Dealing with law, in turn, made black churches a site for debates over leadership and inclusion, a kind of practical law school for churchmembers and, later, a crucial source of business for black professionals, especially lawyers. Churches, which during slavery had functioned as alternative dispute resolution forums, embarked on a more complex and anxious debate after emancipation about what was the proper role for law in Christian life, now that black Christians were citizens. We are used to thinking of the black church as a vital center of black culture and the seedbed of the modern civil rights movement. Analyzing the black church as property suggests that in certain limited ways, black people entered American civic life long before 1865, and that the story of black citizenship was intertwined with their religious history.

"Naturalization and De-Naturalization between Empire and Nation: Citizenship Laws in Chile, 1810-1844"
Sarah Chambers, Professor of History, University of Minnesota
Abstract: From the 1810 formation in Santiago of an assembly claiming home rule while the Spanish monarch was a prisoner of Napoleon until Spain's recognition of the nation's independence in 1844, who qualified as a Chilean national was not always clear. A Spaniard born in Europe could assert that his long residence and family ties made him Chilean, and senators might grant him naturalization despite their frequent denunciations of royalists in their midst plotting against independence. Conversely, a loyal Spanish subject born in Chile could consider his choice to continue favoring union with Spain to be patriotic, even as separatists threatened him with exile. Thus, just as one could be naturalized, another might be accused of acting in a way that "de-naturalized" him. This paper analyzes the shifting policies on naturalization during the wars of independence and nation-state formation in Chile. During the military conflict from 1813 to 1826, political loyalties frequently defined the boundary between a patriotic Chilean or Spaniard worthy of citizenship, on the one hand, from a dangerous royalist, whether foreign-born or denaturalized, on the other. Nevertheless, even during wartime, Chilean officials believed that marriage and children could tie an immigrant to the nation and that not all relatives of even enemy émigrés should suffer the penalties, such as property confiscation, applied to royalist husbands and fathers. After the royal army was defeated in Peru (1824) and the southern outpost of Chiloé (1826), moreover, policies began to facilitate the return and incorporation of Spanish émigrés into the "great Chilean family." Although presidents, senators and judges could not settle on a consistent method for handling the assets seized by the state during the war, the government did increasingly compensate some of the losses incurred by émigrés and their heirs even if it did not return properties already transferred to third parties.
"Freedom at the Font: Baptismal Manumission and Re-enslavement in Colonial Lima"
Michelle McKinley, Bernard B. Kliks Associate Professor, University of Oregon School of Law
Abstract: This paper explores the dynamics of mixed-status parent-child relations, infused as they were by slavery, dependency, and freedom. In particular, the article examines the impact of baptismal manumission on children's legal claims to freedom. I suggest that a higher probability of re-enslavement ensued from baptismal manumission if the child remained in a familial unit that was enslaved or tied to the same household. In other words, baptismal manumission was tantamount to constructive re-enslavement. Colonial Latin American societies deemed children as dependent and in need of control and tutelage by social superiors: this was acutely the case for children of slaves. While much of the scholarly literature within Atlantic legal history on re-enslavement is concerned with the fate of enslaved peoples after public emancipation, or with jurisdictional tensions between free soil regimes and slave states, this paper focuses on the fate of children within enslaved families, and traces the interconnected worlds of freed people and slaves.
"The 1965 Immigration Act: 50 Years of New Immigration and Immigration Debates"
Erika Lee, Rudolph J. Vecoli Chair in Immigration History, Director, Immigration History Research Center, Professor of History and Asian American Studies, University of Minnesota
Abstract: 2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the 1965 Immigration Act, a law that removed discriminatory national origins quotas and led to historic rates of new immigration. The foreign-born population now numbers over 40 million, or around 13 percent of the total U.S. population. They are settling in places that have traditionally welcomed immigrants like New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles, as well as in other cities and areas where such large scale immigration is new: Atlanta, Dallas, New Orleans, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Salt Lake City. At the same time, the Act set limits on immigration from the Western Hemisphere for the first time and ushered in a new era of unprecedented undocumented immigration. The legacies of the act have formed both a new immigrant America and new immigration debates. This informal paper seeks to map out the significance of the 1965 Act and its consequences for a public audience in order to provide much needed historical context to today's (often divisive) discussions about contemporary immigration.

Matata's fur has a tendency to matt into thich fur-ballsOctober 14th 2011 10:31 pm
[ Leave A Comment ]
Matata has rough and coarse fur , brownish in colour unlike his dam matahari who has soft silky pashmina type fur and is white in colour, the typical "Doll-Faced Persian cat". Matata's fur has a tendency to matt into thick fur balls, especially on his under-belly.I still don't know the reasons for the same although he is groomed frequently, the same as his dam matahari.Its become a big problem for me to maintain his fur coat in prime condition as i have to trim the matted fur balls, a dangerous procedure as the chances of hurting his delicate skin while trimming are high. The matted fur balls cause no harm to his physical well-being but do hurt him while combing or trying to clip away the same.

Cat matata has suddenly in the last two months occasionally taken to defecating outside the "Bathroom" his normal toilet. His new place is the house gallery garden and he has consecutively defecated for two days in succession(Friday/Saturday).I feel something might be wrong with him since he is passing loose motions of late, could be an excess of rice in his diet of rice/minced meat.As a "Stud cat" he is a total flop and has put off my plans of breeding a localized Persian cat by 'inbreeding" the dam to the son.He is an excellent specimen of the "Traditional(Doll faced)Persian breed" also having the rare brown colour.I had "Big Plans" of inbreeding matahari to matata and forming a new indigenous bred Persian cat acclimatised to Mumbai's humid climate, "THE MUMBAI PERSIAN CAT".I even wrote about the same on "Pictures of cats " blogs hosted by Mr Michael.Broad from London. As they say, "Never count your chickens before they hatch" and hence i am saddled with a pair of cats incompatible of mating with each other.Otherwise, tomcat matata is the most loving cat i have owned, a little non-human child in behavior, mischievous and loves to eat, a glutton like his dam matahari.

My maternal uncle from Mangalore Mr Godwin.Gonsalves had visited my residence on Friday(2-9-2011), a courtesy visit after a year or over. Strangely, cat matata was absolutely terrified on seeing him, avoiding him like as if his life was in danger.cat matata never exhibited such behaviour in front of other strangers although he has the habit of hiding initially when a stranger enters the house, later getting used to the person's presence.With Uncle Godwin, the cat was absolutely terrified , running helter skelter to avoid him and hid away under the furniture for his entire stay until Saturday(3-9-2011). Whats the reason for cats being frightened of certain humans?

Matata becomes possesive towards his human companion, also- an excellent "RATTER"June 12th 2011 10:24 pm

I had been away from my home for 4 days, leaving on Thursday(2-6-2011) and returning on Sunday(5-6-2011).It was an outdoors nature trip with the "B.N.H.S Group(Bombay Natural History society)" to the forested seaside resort of Guhagar in the Konkan region of Maharashtra.Spotted leopard scat and claw scratches on a treetree in the forests of Shiroli, approx 20 Kms from Guhagar as also numerous birds.On my return home, refreshed from a exotic and hectic nature tour i observed a strange change of behaviour in my cats. Matata came and slept on my bed, a normal habit of his, but on the first day at home on Sunday night he just refused to vacate my bed, sleeping at the foot near my legs.His normal habit was to jump onto my bed , get petted a bit and then get down and sleep in his own favourite place around the home. Akin to the wild leopards of the forests, matata has left strong scratch marks on my furniture, totally ruining my living room settee.My "T.v Viewing chair" in the living room is partly destroyed by "Tomcat Matata's" scratch marks, a miniature leoperd who uses the chairs arm rests as one of his favourite scratching posts akin to the leopards in forests using trees as scratch posts.One important duty that matata does is scaring away a rat or rats that come into my storage loft, despite barricading the same.I release matata onto the loft and he quickly treks them, if any, a detriment to these pest rodents that at one time almost ran riot in my house.I have mentioned the same in my previous entries and readers would wonder the resons of rats taking a liking to my residence loft, despite regular checks and maintained house.I thought that "Fencing" the ventilation openings would end the rat ingress problem but to my horror on Monday(6-6-2011) we heard a noise in the loft. The next day again heard the noise and hence put matata on the loft.He quicly went towards the ventillation wire near the toilet , chasing the rat away. Seems the rats had bitten through the fencing wire and entered and henceforth the only alternative to controlling these peats is occasionally releasing matata onto the loft.Matata is a good hunter as proved by his hunt on the house gecko's and hope the rats are scared of him and henceforth avoid my storage loft as their home.Its embarrassing facts to put into print but then it could be helpfull to other house-hold suffering from rodent pests. If you have a cat make use of it a a "RoDENT DETTERENT" akin to 'PEST CONTROL", only difference, cats are natural rodent controllers in nature.Let your cat earn its upkeep maintenance expenditure!

We've always known that known cucumbers are out of this world, but now they will be, literally. Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa will begin a six-month stint on the International Space Station shortly and plans to study growing food in outer space.
His experiment will examine the effects of gravity on food harvesting, but the astronauts will sadly not be allowed to eat the cucumbers. Their diets are strictly controlled. Last year, on a similar mission, another Japanese astronaut made sushi and Russian astronaut Sergei Volkov will be growing tomatoes during this mission.
The news is likely good for the cucumber industry, which has been battling rumors of food contamination as part of the E. Coli outbreak in Europe.

Australia approved new sanctions against Iran in a bid to halt its nuclear program.
The new sanctions, announced Thursday by Foreign Minister Stephen Smith, follow similar restrictions issued by the United States, the European Union and Canada.
For the first time the sanctions include restricting business dealings with Iran's oil and gas sector.
"In adopting this package, Australia stands at the forefront of international community efforts to have Iran meet its international obligations in relation to its nuclear program, one of the most serious security challenges facing the international community," Smith said in a statement.
Labor legislator Michael Danby, who is Jewish, said that "History teaches us that going soft on hard-line dictators is a recipe for catastrophe. The Labor government under Prime Minister Julia Gillard will not shirk its historic responsibility to stand with Israel at its hour of maximum danger."
The new sanctions also include travel and financial bans against more than 100 businesses and individuals in Iran's financial and transport sectors, as well as a trade ban on all arms materials.

It was music to my ears when I heard that both Brett Lawrie and J. P. Arencibia were back in the Toronto Blue Jay's lineup again. Seeing Lawrie play again was especially exiting to me. In fact, he scored the Jay's first run in game one against the Boston Red Sox.
Game one was probably the best I ever seen the Toronto Blue Jays play in over a month. Everything seemed to be clicking at the right moment for the Jays and they managed to hold on to win it 7-5.
Rajai Davis made a couple of spectacular catches during the game.
Edwin Encarnacion hit his 38th home run of the season and is getting very close to the 100 RBI plateau.
As for Jay's starting pitcher, Henderson Alvarez, he had a good quality start, which has been a rare occurrence for him this season. In 6.1 innings pitched, he gave up only four hits, two earned runs, two walks, and struck out one batter.
Despite two lengthy rain delays, they were able to complete the second game.
The Jays jumped out to a 5-0 lead in the second inning. The Jays would end up winning it 9-2. This the way I like to my beloved Blue Jays play.
Anthony Gose hits his first career home run against Boston.
In the ninth inning, Anthony Gose, who had a five RBI night, hit his first ever Major League home run. It looks like this guy (Gose) maybe the whole package. He can run, he can hit, and he can field. Here is one player to watch in the future.
Jay's starting pitcher, Aaron Laffey had a very good quality start, giving up only four hits, two earned runs, two walks and struck out two batters in 4.2 innings pitched.
It wasn't easy, but the Jays managed to complete the sweep over the Red Sox by winning 4-3 this afternoon. This is the second time in a row that the Blue Jays swept Boston at Fenway Park this season.
The Jays are off tomorrow, but they will face Seattle for three games, starting Tuesday night.

Are you finding it difficult to make your mortgage payment each month? Are you facing foreclosure and have been searching for a way to stay in your home? If so, then the attorneys at Fish Law Group LLC could help you save your home. You may, in actuality, have a defective mortgage, and our experienced foreclosure attorneys could assist you in halting the foreclosure process. A defective mortgage is typically classified as a mortgage that is more favorable for the lender and the borrower qualified for better terms than he or she was actually given when funded.
Do You Have A Potentially Defective Mortgage?
There are telltale signs that might let you know if you may have a defective mortgage. For instance, if your current monthly mortgage is greater than 50 percent of your monthly income or you bought your home quite recently and it is already valued at far less than what it was worth when your purchased it, you may have a defective mortgage. Also, if your lender guaranteed or promised that it would refinance your loan within a certain timeframe and is now reneging on that promise, you may have a defective mortgage. We can help you determine if you have a potentially defective mortgage, so please give us a call or email us for your initial consultation.
How The Attorneys At Fish Law Group LLC Might Be Able To Help
Our lawyers have extensive experience in dealing with fraudulent foreclosures and defective mortgages. We offer aggressive representation at affordable rates, and could potentially offer you the most favorable outcome by pursuing legal actions against your lender and all parties responsible for your defective mortgage. If a defective mortgage is contributing to your debt burden and you are facing foreclosure, then we may be able to keep you in your home and seek monetary damages for your financial loss and emotional stress. Don't let the at-fault parties get away with taking your home and causing you to lose thousands of dollars by forcing you to overpay for your home.
If you are looking for superior legal representation and guidance through the foreclosure defense process, then the attorneys at Fish Law Group LLC may be able to help, just as we have helped hundreds of other clients within the Chicago area. With our extensive knowledge of the foreclosure laws and our experience in handling foreclosure defense cases, we are the obvious choice for homeowners who don't want to spend a fortune defending their rights as homeowners in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. To schedule a consultation at our law firm, contact us online or call 312-702-0900.
We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

You've finished the book. There's no sequel. You've got no back up options. "What do I read next?" may be your literary existential crisis but our raison d'être. Library staff use a number of discovery tools, like podcasts, to learn about books, movies, and music you may enjoy. Coincidentally, these are all the things we enjoy too!
I think the author didn't realize that the reason she found this story worth writing about was because it was about a family member and that nobody outside her family would be anywhere near as interested. The main character isn't remotely likable (nor is anyone else, for that matter), and...
Every two weeks, free tracks from Smithsonian Folkways Recordings and Classical Music Library are offered.
This week (the week of January 28, 2014) the Smithsonian Folkways Recording is Pete Seeger's Buffalo Gals in honor of Pete Seeger's passing at age 94 on Monday, January 27, 2014.
Pete Seeger's life, music, and legacy encapsulate nearly a century of American history and culture. He has immersed himself in folk music and used it, like Johnny Appleseed, to "plant the seeds of a better tomorrow in the homes across our land." The songs in this collection of 139 American Favorite Ballads narrate tales of ordinary people and their extraordinary deeds, and show Pete at the crossroads of the past and the future putting his own stamp on America's folk song heritage while bequeathing it to generations to come.
The Central Children's Library will be having a sock hop on Saturday, December 7th at 2pm! This program is open to all ages and will include dancing, music, games, and a sock craft. Wear your favorite socks, shed your shoes, and get ready to dance, dance, dance.
Get ready by practicing your sock hopping skills at home. It's a great indoor activity for a cold winter day and it's even better when paired with a book.
Try one of these to get inspired:
Don't get caught out in the cold when you come downtown for the Parade of Lights this Saturday. We're holding a comfortable spot for you to enjoy a holiday concert before you venture out for the parade. And we'll keep the home fires burning all winter with terrific programming and community -- keep up to date with our event listings on our Fresh City Life calendar.
Fresh City Life's 6th annual holiday concert showcasing The Denver Gay Men's Chorus happens this Saturday. And our wonderful crew of baristas at DPLs The Coffee Mug want to pitch in on the holiday spirit. Anytime on Saturday, from 10a-4p, wander into their cozy coffee shop just inside the east entrance and take 10% off your beverage order by simply saying "Parade of Lights." A great deal and sure to warm you up on a cold day. Pick something up on your way to the concert.
Fresh City Life has a few more gifts to deliver this season -- including a return engagement of the immensely popular acoustic group, The Castle Rock Community Ringers -- a local handbell choir that creates beautiful music throughout the year. Check out the Fresh City Life calendar for events this season and in the new year.
Hark! How the Bells: Holiday Bell Choir Concert
Friday, November 29, 5-6 p.m.
Central Library, Level 1 Schlessman Hall
Returning for an encore performance, the Castle Rock Community Ringers make incredible music using only the classic choir bells – and these musicians know how to create a joyful noise! The well-regarded Castle Rock Community Ringers will show us how to 'throw cares away' with their thoughtful blend of holiday and secular songs all created with perfectly-pitched handbells.
How good can our Denver Public Library music season get? Check out our finale concerts to hear for yourself -- starting with Julian Toha's experimental, new and classical music. Fresh City Life events and programs.

On the 74th anniversary of Kristallnacht, Acacia Theatre Company opened its new season by commemorating a brave soul who said "no" to the ensuing madness.

... "the next five to 10 days will determine whether the Reds are buyer or sellers."
This line of thinking makes me so frustrated.
Why weren't these guys buyers a month ago when they could have made a move to bolster the team and attempt take control of the division? Why wait around until you're barely hanging around or desperate? This division has been there for the taking.
This approach they're using is symptomatic of where they've been for 10+ years.

Jakarta Without Macet
By : Izzati Ismail – Singaporean
Jakartakita.Com: I came to Jakarta in 2008. ┬ĀMy first impression about Jakarta is the terrible traffic. Even ┬Āwhen I was in there, ┬ĀI found difficult just to across road. Cars and motorcycles filled the road.
Unlike neighbouring countries like Singapore, Malaysia┬Āand Thailand, transportation remains a problem in┬ĀJakarta. Getting around the city is not easy; expats will experience the infamous Jakarta; macet.
Nowadays, The traffic congestion in Jakarta and several cities in Indonesia get worse than before. The volume of vehicles, which exceeds the capacity of available roads, is the main cause of traffic congestion.
Government needs to limit the ownership of vehicles to overcome the problem of increasing number of vehicles as the volume of vehicles is the main cause of traffic congestion. With the regulation to limit the ownership of vehicles, people would be expected to use public transportation.
I think the government doesnŌĆÖt provide nice public transportation. The public transportation users in Jakarta feel unsafe due to criminal acts often occur inside the vehicles, moreover for women. The users also feel uncomfortable because the condition of public transportation vehicles is dirty, damaged due to over capacity, and sometimes too old.
Not only that, using public transportation also takes longer time and ┬Ānot all areas are passed by public transportations. That is why people prefer to use their own vehicles instead of public transportation, so they can go anywhere and anytime they want safely, comfortably and quickly.
Most people prefer to own car even by credit. Most wealthy families own more than one car. So itŌĆÖs not wondering there are cars on the road that only transport one person on each.
The more day, the huge number of vehicles volume contributes the worsening the traffic in Jakarta and several cities, especially in peak hours (morning & afternoon). People need more hours to reach the office/school and need another more hour to get home. It makes people get frustrated.
Compare to my city in Singapore. Singapore has an excellent public transport system, which is fortunate because owning and driving a car is incredibly expensive here. You get hit with a triple barriers: paying for a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) ┬Āwhen you buy the car, paying again for ┬ĀElectronic Road Pricing (ERP) charges as you drive and expensive charge for parking lot.
The Certificate of Entitlement (COE), instituted by the government of Singapore since May 1990, is a program designed to limit the ownership of car and hence the number of vehicles on the country's roads. This is a bidding system that requires residents of Singapore to bid for the right to buy car/bus/motorcycle. With the number of certificates deliberately restricted, only them who afford┬Ā to buy the highest price on average who can get the certificate.
The certificate is only for 10 years, after 10 years the vehicle owner may renew for only another 5 years. Then after that the vehicle owner must register for scrapping or exporting to another country. This is the way how the Singapore government reduces pollution. The vehicle over 10-15 years canŌĆÖt be on the road.
Even people afford to get the COE, they have to pass another barrier; Electronic Road Pricing (ERP). Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) is an electronic system of road pricing. It uses a dedicated short-range radio communication system to deduct ERP charges from smart-cards inserted in the in-vehicle units of vehicles each time they pass a pricing point when the system is in operation. The operating hours of all ERP gantries are in peak hours of office hour. The ERP charges are not applicable on Sundays and all public holidays. ThatŌĆÖs why most of vehicle owners in Singapore prefer to use their vehicle only on Sunday or public holiday than in work days.
Another barrier is the expensive charge for parking lot. Imagine if they work for 9 hours, how much they should pay for parking 2 S$ per hour? ┬ĀItŌĆÖs around 18 S$. ThatŌĆÖs quite expensive.
And all is works here. When you come to Singapore, youŌĆÖll never see traffic as in Jakarta. I think Jakarta should try to apply the same regulation as in Singapore step by step. IŌĆÖm sure it will encourage people in Jakarta to turn to public transportation as it will be accessible, safe, comfortable and affordable. Cooperation between the government and people is needed to solve the traffic problem.
For me Jakarta without ŌĆśmacetŌĆÖ ┬Āis a beautiful city which I would love to spend days. LetŌĆÖs hope the next governor will do something to solve the traffic congestion.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Timberwolves have finalized their deal with free-agent center Ronny Turiaf, the team announced Thursday. Turiaf's agent Mark Bartelstein confirmed Turiaf's contract is worth 3.2 million over the next two seasons. An eight-year veteran joining his seventh franchise, Turiaf comes from the Los Angeles Clippers as an unrestricted free agent. The deal was first reported a week ago, but the Martinique native was out of the country until recently, delaying the actual signing. For his career, Turiaf has averaged 4.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 16.8 minutes per game. Last season in Los Angeles, he appeared in 65 games and averaged 6.2 points and 5.5 rebounds an outing. Follow Phil Ervin on Twitter

This is an unpopular opinion that might cost me my seat at the cool-kids table among Pittsburgh Steelers fans. I want the Ravens to beat the Patriots Sunday. The Ravens and Patriots meet in the AFC Championship Game for the second year in a row. It's the first time the same teams have met in the AFC title game for two straight seasons since the Browns and Broncos in 1986 and 1987. Choosing between the Ravens and Patriots would seem like choosing between a root canal and a rectal exam, but apparently the decision isn't that difficult for most Steelers fans. Last year, a majority of Steelers fans grudgingly pulled for the Patriots to beat the Ravens. That's not likely to change this year. Count me among the minority. For the purpose of full disclosure, I'm a Steelers fan who grew up in Rhode Island. I still lived there when the Patriots won their three Super Bowls. Since the Patriots beat the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game on the way to two of those championships, living in Ne...
