Adam Cohen on his New Album 'Like a Man'
Canadian singer-songwriter Adam Cohen stopped by the THR Cover Lounge to talk about his new album Like a Man. He reveals that some of the songs on the album were written several years earlier but were not ready to be released until now.
"The objective now with this record was how can I try to be good and have my preoccupation be just to be good and reach my criteria what beautiful is not what successful is and that's really the key difference", he added.

Olympic rings given new home
A sculpture of the Olympic rings carved to celebrate this summer's sailing events has a new home.
The rings, which stand at around two metres high, had been in Weymouth train station for the duration of the games. Now they've been moved to overlook Portland harbour as a permanent reminder of the London 2012 sailing competition.
No charges over abusive Daley tweet
A Welsh Premier League footballer who posted an abusive message about Olympic diver Tom Daley will not face charges.
Daniel Thomas's message was "not so grossly offensive that criminal charges need to be brought", said Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Mr Keir said new guidelines for prosecutors on social media cases will also be issued, given the growing number of complaints.
Team GB chasing double gold
Great Britain's sailors are hoping to clinch two gold medals off the Dorset coast this afternoon. Stuart Bithell and Luke Patience take part in the medal race in the men's 470 event, with Hannah Mills and Saskia Clark sailing in the women's event.
Daley dives again
Plymouth diving star Tom Daley gets his final bid for an 2012 Olympic medal underway tonight. Daley is in action in the men's 10 metre platform preliminary round at the Aquatic Centre in Olympic Park. The competition starts at 7pm.
Dorset sailors bid for gold postposed
Dorset sailors Stuart Bithell and Luke Patience must wait until tomorrow [Friday] to reach for gold.
Light winds in Weymouth have meant their race - the men's 470 sailing class - has had to be postponed. They go into the medal race in second place, already guaranteed at least a silver medal. To win gold, they will have to overhaul their Australian rivals, who are four points ahead.
Dempsey and Shaw race for medals
Weymouth windsurfers Nick Dempsey and Bryony Shaw are both involved in Olympic medal races off the Dorset coast this afternoon.
Dempsey, who goes into the race in second place, is in action at 1pm. Shaw, who is currently in seventh spot, gets underway an hour later.
Weymouth alive as Ainslie sails into history
After his performance in the waters off Weymouth yesterday afternoon, Ben Ainslie, the Finn Class sailor from Cornwall, is now the fourth most successful British athlete of all time.
As he won his forth straight gold medal and sailed into history with a nailbiting fight to the finish, the crowd in Weymouth was alive.
Couch 'has best scores over and above everybody else'
The coach of Plymouth diver Tonia Couch has given his thoughts following a failed appeal to be included in the individual ten metre diving event, even though she has already been selected for the synchronised event.
Head coach of Plymouth diving Andy Banks, says her performances have been better than anyone else's:

Tonia Couch loses Olympic appeal
Tonia Couch loses Olympic appeal
Tonia Couch has lost her appeal against the decision not to pick her for the 10m individual diving at London 2012.
The 23-year-old will still dive in the 10m synchro pairs with Sarah Barrow, but Monique Gladding will join Stacie Powell in the individual event.
Coach Andy Banks says it is unlikely there will be a further appeal.

03/17/2011 Freedom Watch w/ Michele Bachmann, John Bolton, Matt Kibbe, William Anderson, more
Here is the Thursday March 17th, 2011 edition of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.
Here is the Thursday March 17th, 2011 edition of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.
I was astounded to find out that Al Jazeera provided more fair and balanced reporting of the incident where a CIA agent killed to Pakistanis. Here's how Al Jazeera presented the events: "The events in question transpired on January 27. Davis was driving his car through a poor section of Lahore. He stopped at a crowded intersection. Two Pakistani men jumped off motorcycles and came towards him, with weapons drawn, according to American accounts of the incident. Davis opened fire with his Glock, killing them.
"He said he fired in self-defence, assuming they were trying to rob him. Pakistani authorities disputed this claim, saying the men were shot in the back and Davis got out of his car to take photographs of the bodies."
But Napolitano presented the incident as though Davis simply walked out into the street and shot two Pakistanis in the back. He just accepted the word of the Pakistani authorities at face value and convicted Davis, guilty as charged.
Then Napolitano brings on a woman from the antiwar.com website and allows her to equate the CIA and the Pakistani ISI – allowing her to label them both "thug agencies" with no objection.
So Napolitano takes the word of the ISI – the organization implicated in the deadly attacks at Mumbai – over the word of the American citizen who may have been working find the hard evidence tabout the ISI involvement.
I respect The Judge very much. He has some very good speakers. On the other hand some of them are just phoney and not worth the space. I would put Bachmann and Bolton high up in that league. There are some who adopt part of the freedom agenda not because they seek liberty but because they are mean spirited and cruel. They seek to make 'cuts' out of dislike and resentment of the poor. This is evident in their one-sided approach of cutting what the poor may receive but enriching the military.
I know there are honest seekers for liberty who do not have this mean spirited double standard but Bachmann is not amongst them
As a constitutionalist libertarian and a viewer who is both respectful to and an admirer of Judge Napolitano, let me propose a deal. If His Honor will refrain from resorting to the use of the needlessly gratuitous, flowery superlatives as the overture for the likes of neocons such as Bachmann, Beck, Bolton and others, I will not mind in the least if he provides principled, genuine libertarian icons the same humble introductions.
I don't understand the Judge's outrage at sharia law being followed in a muslim country. The crime of murder is against an individual, not the state. From a libertarian point of view the payment to the family of the victim makes perfect sense. Under the principles of common law the same arrangement was acceptable. Failure to comply with the order of payment made the offender an outlaw and any rights of the offender were then forfeit.
I do have a problem with the government using taxpayer dollars to make the payment. If the offender didn't have enough money to pay he should have had to work it off. The whole concept of crime against the state needs to be reexamined.
Because Sharia is repressive, irrational, misogynist and based on superstition rather than a coherent humanistic interpretation of harm and fairness. Sharia == misery.
Bolton never passes up a chance to kill brown people. It's amazing.
I do not disagree that much of sharia law is incosistent with individual freedom. In this case it doesn't seem to be. Much of it is based on the same monotheistic principles found in the old testament. It is possible to recognize the merits of parts of a system. Condemning the entire system does not make sense.
Bachmann & Bolton are not phonies. They make tremendously more sense and are on usually the correct side if issues, as compared to any traditional Democrat & administration official. The phonies are the Democrats in power & Obama who refuses to release his Long Form Birth Certificate, his passport information & his college records in order to be 100% he is qualified to be President of the USA. Despicable.
So that's what Bill Anderson sounds like! Also, was that a Mises tie?
Right, I didn't get that either. I don't know if this is how it won't down there, but if the victims' family agreed to money compensation for the murders, that that's that, yes? To take the judge's example, if the bank robber a) returned the money to the people and b) paid out "punishment" money to the people (two eyes for an eye), then shouldn't that be just restitution?
Also, I don't think bribery should be illegal.
Judge Napolitano. Im a small business owner and have been at the mercy of big banks. The problem is that the congress made banks untouchable. If a vendor wants to leave a bank because it charges too much for credit cards, a bank can black list the vendor, so no other banks will take that vendor. And on top of this, there is no legal way to bring the banks to justice for doing it. I am very much a libertarian, and I do realize what created the problems with the big banks was congress passing laws in regards to it. So I do not necessarily endorse this law, but I understand it. The issue is larger than it seems.
Can we put an end to the idea that the Tea Party is a libertarian movement, and that Michelle Bachmann is an advocate of "maximum individual liberty." She, like most of the Tea Party, is a social conservative. They only look like libertarians when discussing fiscal matters. Fiscal sanity is important, but it is nothing without freedom.
It seems to me that Bolton in many ways is just another war monger. As long as the military machine is marching along he is happy.
I found the Al Jazeera article to be much more unbiased.
I agree with Rexi. We need to separate fiscal policies from the ideal of freedom in the US. In the end the Tea Party is using patriotism as a reasoning for any of their actions. I would suggest for Ms Bachmann to get in touch with the real problems people have right now like unemployment and the recession.
Many were interested with this because it talks about the society wherein every one is involved and they all have freedom to speak out or voice out what they have in mind. Thus, they might have different opinion to share but the most important thing is that they should respect each others thoughts or insight.
I agree with Rexi and Frank. People tend to look at issues on a very superficial level without seeing the big picture. It's amazing to see Bachmann railing against how bad the government is…while she and her husband have made a good living off of government for decades. Government healthcare is bad for you…but she have always had government healthcare. Is anybody paying attention?
I've always quite liked Judge Napolitano but since I read his "Lies the Government Told You" book I think he's awesome.
I agree with you here, Steve. If we followed this type of retribution laws, I know we would have lower violent crime rates. At the very least it would cause people to think twice before starting down the path to crime, I'm not sure if it would stop already violent criminals.
Sharia claims old testament roots, however they have used a pick and chose method that has altered the original intent of old testament principles.
I agree, the lies the government told you book sold me too.
Jeff I don't know if retribution law would work because people are basically rotten at the core, and if the don't change from the inside out with a willing attitude, and I mean this is something that leaning on jesus to do I don't think retribution law would do anything but cause people to try to be more clever when they commit their crimes.
@ Kevin
Wow! Awkward.

There is no such thing as bad publicity. That is what WEEI is hoping for.
WEEI morning radio talk show co-host Kirk Minihane stirred some controversy this week for comments he made about FOX sideline reporter Erin Andrews. He called her a "gutless bitch" and wished that she would just "drop dead." I've seen other media personalities fired for less. Instead, no discipliary action will be taken by the station against Minihane other than making him make a formal written apology (convienently enough) on the WEEI web site.
And why would WEEI suspend or even fire Minihane. Minihane has instilled new life in the lifeless "Dennis & Callahan" morning show? He is contemporary and witty. That stands in stark contrast to his two other co-hosts. He also comes across as being angry at the world and sometimes you wonder if he lacks that filter that should lie between his angry mind and his mouth. On Wednesday, it was evident that filter was missing.
Or maybe not. He did admit, sheepishly, at the end of his rant, "I'm going to get in trouble for this." Trouble? He might get a raise and promotion.
Prior to Minhane's arrival, the "Dennis & Callahan Show" had seen their ratings plummeting for several years. They lagged behind their competitors at The Sports Hub. The D&C Show once ruled the roost, but those days are long gone. Longtime hosts John Dennis and Gerry Callahan, however, continued to go about their business like they were sitting up on high talking to their minions. When Minihane joined the show in February of 2013, he was often ridiculed on air by Dennis as "the little guy in the corner." Well, that "little guy in the corner" has pretty much saved Dennis and Callahan's jobs as ratings have rebounded-- still not surpassing 98.5's "Toucher and Rich Show," but improved, nonetheless.
Minihane has appealed to the much sought after younger demographic. He can be crass. He has his finger on the pulse of public opinion. He is not afraid to play the contrarian and take unpopular positions. He was on the frontlines for those advocating the dismissal of the very popular Jenny Dell as NESN sideline reporter following her admission of a relationship with player Will Middlebrooks. He has also campaigned to get the very popular Jerry Remy off the air following his son's criminal troubles. Makes you wonder what Minihane would write about himself following this fiasco.
Minihane is a relative newbie to the radio biz. I've followed Minihane for a long time and have been one of his biggest advocates. I wrote before Minihane got promoted to his current position that he was a rising star that the station should build around. I often interacted with him via private messages on social media in those early days. It was obvious from the tone of those messages that he was a very confident individual who had a firm grasp of what the modern-day audience wants. It was also obvious to me that he didn't have a very high opinion of some of the longer-serving employees at the station. Did I mention that he came across as a very cocky individual?
Once Minihane hit the "big time," our communications ended. I was merely a tiny pebble on his cobblestone path to his ultimate goal of fame. And that's fine. I am not one of those who gets bitter when somebody unfriends me or unfollows me on social media. I'm really not... but you better not do it! (Just kidding-- I couldn't really care less.)
I do feel like I got to know the inner workings of Minihane's mind a little better from these brief communications we used to have a long time (three years?) ago. He always wants to be cutting edge-- never boring. He wants to stir the pot. He wants to get people talking.
Well, he did exactly that. But it is a fine line and that is where his broadcast inexperience rears its head. He walked the tightrope precisely with topics such as Jenny Dell and Jerry Remy. He went over the line with Erin Andrews.
The problem with Minihane is how he handles fame. He knows -- even if his other co-hosts don't want to acknowledge it -- he is the reason the show's ratings have improved. He jokes on air about his power at the station. It is a running joke that he is the one who got former afternoon host Mike Salk fired. Maybe it's not a joke.
A little humility would go a long way with Minihane. Hubris is what brought down WEEI in the first place. This incident should serve as a teaching point for Minihane-- if he is humble enough to accept it. Minihane is lucky-- many wouldn't be given a free pass for the comments he made.

This is a great very outback type of trail. It is near Fresno so you can save on gas while still feeling like you are in Sequoia or a similar national Park. The Fresno trail is great for hiking or jogging. Although for hiking consider mixing in some jogging. In some areas jogging may not be possible and it is a hiking only section due to rough trails. However the majority of the trail is appropriate with hiking and jogging. The hiking and jogging trail goes across a river on a bridge with amazing views.
This is amazing hike for the Fresno area that is frequently enjoyed by Fresno mountain bike enthusiasts. Fortunately the bicycling in my experience does not impact hiking or jogging. The Fresno bicycle people typically go clockwise on the trail. The Fresno hikers and joggers often go counter clockwise on the trail. This is beneficial because the descent is a lot easier on the western part of the trail. Additionally this helps you get a better exercise in because you hit some of the tougher parts on the trail near the end of the trail so you have few chocies but to overcome. The trail head can be reached by driving from Fresno to Smalley Road. It is just north of Auberry. The parking lot is rarely too crowded. It is approximately 6 miles from the Smalley Road on a downhill incline.

It's tax season. Many Americans and Canadians only have a couple of weeks until tax returns are due. It's likely that at this time tax filers are scrambling at the last minute searching for records, documents and perhaps even time to submit it to the Internal Revenue Service or Canada Revenue Agency.
It is estimated that tax filers lose out on approximately $1 billion because they make errors, ignore credits and deductions and don't study the documents carefully enough. If you earn a considerable sum and you have dependents, a house and other aspects then seeking out a tax professional might be the right idea.
If you're stuck in your own ways then be sure to look out for some of these common tax credits and deductions that are usually missed out. Remember, by taking advantage of them you can lower your tax bill and receive a heftier refund.
- Charitable contributions
- Work-related expenses
- Child care credits
- Moving costs
- Retirement tax savings
- Tuition and related fees
- Energy efficient home improvements
- Low-income tax credits

Proper Use Of Logic

I have been frequenting your site for a few months now, but have never written in.
In a recent e-mail to Bill Garrett, you wrote,
People keep saying this, but perhaps I don't know what bash means. You will notice that I am extremely stern when people write here and start lying to me or about me. I like what Todd Smith of Peoria, Illinois, said about me in the Modesto Bee: "Cliff provides a positive forum that demands proper use of logic and the scientific method." Yup: demands! When I read that to my guest the other evening, we laughed so hard that we would have fallen onto the floor -- had we not already been sitting on the floor to begin with!
Maybe I'm a bit dense (or it could be the late hour), but what did you find so humorous about my use of the word demand? I certainly hope that you don't think I did you a disservice, as that was not my intention. I was trying to say that it seems to me that your standards for truth and honesty are high, and that you hold people who write in to those standards.
I'm glad I provided you and your guest with a few moments of hilarity, but can you let me in on the joke?

It wasn't anything other than the fact that you had me pegged. This one phrase, this one word, pins down my entire approach to working with anything philosophical.
I have only one friend in Portland who has known me for longer than three years who is still my friend. She was paying a rare visit the night I discovered the newspaper article and we were in a state of having to bond with one another again (it had been that long). When we got to the word demands we about fell off the floor, because this is precisely my style. We kept repeating the word, occasionally, throughout the evening. Then we'd wink and laugh. I will never forget this night. I guess you'd call it a private joke, but really, this language pegged that aspect of my personality to a tee.
This woman had worked very close with me as I would very carefully but very sternly work with people and help them out of the illusion of powerlessness and show them how to free themselves of drug and alcohol addiction. It was this very distinct character trait that was the key to my success in this field, because I would settle for no deviation from reality when dealing with a whiny, sniveling, self-indulgent drug user who had gotten in trouble over their immaturity and refusal to put forth an effort to exercise self-control. I originally helped her solve her own alcohol problem (by demanding that she see the alcohol problem realistically rather than how her drug-fogged head wanted her to see it and rather than how the Twelve Step programs wanted her to see it) and it was this demanding persistence never to deviate from that picture which pushed her to accepting responsibility for her own continued abstinence. After she figured it out, she'd hang around just because we instantly hit it off and liked each other and liked being together, and it was convenient for us to spend time together during my presentations and afterward.
It was this sternness, this refusal to take "I can't help it" for an answer, that separated me from others in this field, and it is this same sternness that I bring to this forum when dealing with certain people who make claims that they are simply repeating, and have never thought through for themselves.

TC TO JAMES CARLYLE ; 21 February 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440221-TC-JC-01; CL 17: 279-281
Chelsea, 21 feby, 1844—
Dear Jamie,
Your Letter came safe to hand; many thanks for it. I hope you did all your business successfully at the fair; my imagination often visited you there on the Wednesday after your Letter.
Last night there came a Note from Jenny; intimating that our Mother had got home again to Scotsbrig, and was in as fair health as usual. Really it is to be accounted at1 great thing this, considering what weather she has had: I pray you see that see that she be kept warm now, and snug within doors, the good Mother, till these wild Spring blasts be over! Tell her also that I will send her some scrape of a pen before many days.
Did you get Alick's Letter? You were to send it on straightway I suppose to Dumfries: Jack had some notion of sending it to Dumfries first, but I suggested to him that our Mother would be most impatient of all to see it, and that her impatience had the best right of all to be attended to! We liked the Letter very well; a clear quiet account: some of us will write at the beginning of March: they cannot set out, I believe, Clow and he, for any travel, till about the beginning of April.— Yesternight too there came a Letter from Jean, and enclosed in it, the blackest piece of written paper I ever saw,—a Letter seemingly from James Brand to Alick: I have in vain tried to read it; human nature never before, to my knowledge, brought forth such an attempt! I do not consider that it can be worth sending to Alick; if anybody knows this James Brand's address (for I cannot in the least read it there), we will send that on, with notice that such a Letter has arrived; and remains to all persons dark as Egyptian Hieroglyphics.—
What you undertake with regard to Farries's property is all right:2 our Mother should be consulted herself—her view of the matter, if you can by assiduous cautious inquiry ascertain it, will be our chief direction. Consider it, examine it and her; Time will gradually bring us some light upon it.
But the chief meaning of my Note today is about those Tanned Sheepskins! Not that I want more of them at present; but that I want to account with you for those we have. The biggest of them all lies round my feet at this moment, and is daily throughout the winter a real accommodation to me;—and a certain remorse often strikes me that to this hour I have never properly settled with you about them. Well, we will finish that business in the way of lumping,—what is called "slumping [considering together]." Here is a sovereign enclosed, which you must give to Isabella with my regards, to buy the youngest bairn a frock with, or herself a cap with;—and now I shall enjoy the warmth of my sheepskin with unmixed thankfulness.— You can add by way of news that the Butter still continues to do an excellent duty, really excellent; and that the ham—has left an honourable remembrance of itself.— —
My struggles with my poor Book are manifold; but I study to take them coolly: it will be a long, long story, I find, and I must just plod forward as quietly as I may. My health is not to be complained of at all,—if I were to grow worse, I could get myself a horse again: but indeed I rather consider that I am slowly changing rather for the better in that respect. Jane too keeps tolerably well, tho' frightened always for cold. Jack is attending as a Witness on a certain trial between one Fraser (whom you may remember as my Editor in old days) and his poor Wife—whom, poor scoundrel, he had used, and is using in the unworthiest way.3 She was a young widow with £500 a-year; he a broken young man, having wasted his £15,000 of fortune to the last penny,—chiefly by getting into the hands of needy scamps, Irishmen &c, for he was never an unkind creature, and could not say No to anybody. They married some 10 or 12 years ago: he started again in hand, and seemed at first to prosper exceedingly; but 'Attorneys,' scoundrels of one or the other hungry sort, again got him in lending; he fell into embarrassments,—at last, he walked off to some obscure quarter of London, and left his poor fidgetting anxious wife to shift with her 4 children as she liked. She supposed him to be living with other women &c; spent much of her time in crying. Last year he wrote to her in the depths of abasement to advance him £200, and he would go out to India, and then retrieve himself with it. He got the £200; staid where he was; and now, it being all eaten, he has started a public suit against his Wife for improper conduct with one of his friends who had assisted her sometimes in her distresses! There is no shadow of likelihood in the charge,—and tomorrow, Jack hopes, he will be condemned—to perpetual public disgrace at least.
Adieu, dear Brother, I have not a moment more. Ever with my whole heart yours, T.C.

Racing Dreams
- Studio: Hannover House
- Release Date: May 21, 2010
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Curry also emphasizes the human drama of the kid drivers who face their own distinct challenges and setbacks in order to become champions.
The film doesn't always follow up on its more interesting issues: safety, technique, financial hardship, even the sport's history. But the emotional dynamics of its trio of formative hopefuls, and their touching relationships with the parents or guardians who work hard at enabling their passion, set a solid pace.
Slick without feeling over-determined, Racing Dreams evokes -- just as, oddly enough, "Toy Story 3" does -- the more general feeling of childhood on the precipice.
The perfect answer to cries of "I'm bored," Marshall Curry's outstanding documentary won't just entertain your family for a little while. It'll also inspire everyone to get back outside, and find a new passion.
It's a darned entertaining way to get a handle on a sport that can seem like a bunch of cars doing circles for a crowd that seems most interested in seeing that next epic wreck.
It can get a bit redundant but always remains interesting, as young lives take shape on an asphalt oval.
Poised between childhood and adolescence, arrogance and insecurity, the kids still make for compelling subjects.
The perceptively balanced "Dreams" transitions seamlessly from domestic drama to 70-mph heats.
No less than for the black inner-city teens of "Hoop Dreams," cash is the name of the game in Curry's fascinating doc, even as the kids' motivation remains a pure love of the sport.

iSnort App: All The Cool Kids Are Doing It
iSnort is a bootleg iPhone app that makes it appear as though you're cutting up coke and snorting it. Unfortunately, it's not even a real app. It's just a video that you have to choreograph your movements to (the iPhone's touchscreen doesn't respond to heavily abused credit cards or rolled up bills). That said, you can pick it up for £5 at their website. Or, put that money towards some real nose candy. Yeah, I'm talking that good shit. Model airplane glue.

I am a third-year college student who, up until now, has not been good at all with money. In addition to my student loans, I am about $5,000 in credit card debt. Some of it wasn't my fault–my mom is a single parent and when things beyond my control happen (e.g. a $250 housing deposit for my university, or not being able to drive my car without a pair of $60 rotors and $50 brake pads), I turn to my credit accounts for help–but the rest of it is totally and utterly my doing. A large amount of my credit debt is due to my own reckless spending, thinking "It's okay, I'm working, I'll pay it off later."
Well lately, I haven't been able to do much at all for my credit cards. My interest rates are high, and I only get a little chunk of my paycheck–the vast majority of it goes to school. Twenty-five percent goes to me–and it always goes straight to my credit cards. When I think I'm starting to get some headway on the bills, something comes and wipes it out.
I've resorted to selling off a couple textbooks and charging used ones to my student account, all to get money to keep the creditors at bay. There's little my mom can do, as she's got her own financial hardship–and is helping pay for my education. I've started to consider going to the site of Money Management International, but I'm wary and don't know whether or not it's legitimate….
What can I do? How can I get out of this? I feel like I'm constantly treading water, or struggling for oxygen, and it's horrible. I've learned my lesson, and to any youth who see this and want a credit card, or have one: Credit cards are good. When used properly, they help build your financial reputation. NEVER SPEND RECKLESSLY. Only use them if you know you're good for the money, or in an emergency. I'm only 21, and this is financial hell for me. You don't want to be here; it's maddening.
I just want to get out of this. I GUARANTEE that I will never, EVER let myself get into this situation again.
Dear Glenn,
I think you've reached the teachable moment with your credit card. Just remember this pain and it will serve you well to use credit but maintain a safety net.
Money Management International is a legitimate credit counseling group but I'm not certain how much they will be able to lower your payment. You see your balance isn't that high right now and with the service fees they may charge I don't see it being a huge difference. However, like other credit counseling groups, they may be able to lower the interest rate depending on who the credit card company is.
Ultimately what we have here is an income issue rather than a debt issue. From what you shared it seems your income is small and unable to support you. I understand how tough it is to work and go to school. But it might be time to look for other employment or a second job and slog your way through this.
You've done a good job with cutting expenses, like textbooks. Recently I heard a good tip to lower them even more. Ask your instructors if you need to have the latest edition of the textbook. Copies that are a version old will sell for nearly pennies and save you a bunch.
As you try to pay down this debt just remember that you need to save money at the same time. If you try to send more than you can afford toward your debt each month you'll find yourself using the card again to make ends meet.
Getting out of debt is a balancing act between income, expenses, and prudence.
Let's focus first on increasing your income, even if it means cutting back on a class to give you more time to work.
Please post your responses and follow-up messages to me on this in the comments section below.
Big Hug!

DALLAS (SMU) - The SMU Mustangs and No. 19 UCF Knights evenly for most of the 90 minutes of action, but UCF's lone goal at the beginning of the second half was enough to give the Knights a 1-0 win at Westcott Field on Sunday afternoon.
SMU fell to 8-8-1 (3-5-1 American Athletic Conference) while UCF clinched the regular season conference title, moving to 15-2-2 (8-0-1).
After a scoreless first half that featured just five total shots, UCF got on the board quickly in the second frame with a goal by Kayla Adamek. Adamek received a cross from Tatiana Coleman and directed it past SMU goalkeeper Lauryn Bodden from about five yards out.
The Mustangs appeared to have an edge early, providing the game's first two scoring chances. A corner kick by Courtney Smith bounced in the box before Shelby Redman found it near the left post. Redman took a shot at goal, but a UCF defender got in the way to set up another SMU corner. Taylor Barg would take the corner from the left of the goal, leading to a shot from Rikki Clarke at the top of the box that was saved by Knights goalkeeper Lianne Maldonado.
SMU had a couple of great chances to tie the game after UCF took the lead. In the 78th minute, Smith retrieved the ball on the left flank and made a move toward the center of the field. The left-footed defender took a right-footed shot toward the far top corner, but Maldonado was able to get her fingertips on the ball to deflect it away from danger. In the 84th minute, Shelby Redman was able to take the ball down the left side and get all the way to end line, where she popped a ball up into the center of the box for Kelsey Gorney, who contacted the ball up in the air. The ball arced up and fell down off the crossbar back into play, away from any SMU attackers.
Prior to the match, five SMU seniors were honored during Senior Day ceremonies. Amelia Ambrose, Jessica Bartol, Taylor Robinson, Smith and Bodden were all recognized and joined on the field by family and friends. The team also wore pink jerseys in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with the jerseys auctioned off during the match. A total of $1,220 was raised for Relay For Life.
With the defeat, SMU finishes the regular season eighth in the American. SMU will take on ninth-seeded Temple in the first round of the inaugural American Athletic Conference Women's Soccer Championship. The game will be played at 7 p.m. on Friday in Orlando, Fla. With a win, SMU will earn a prompt rematch with the Knights on Sunday afternoon.

Ii thought this was cardboard stock that folded like an accordion. Instead it was a paper map to unfold. I wanted something less conspicuous to read as I stand on a street corner.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Deontay Wilder on Jan. 17 became the first American heavyweight world champion since June 2007 when he won a one-sided decision over Bermane Stiverne at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Check out this video to see what Stiverne was up against:

It's official: Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne for heavyweight title at Galen Center
Although we reported this on Friday, Goossen Tutor Promotions on Monday made it official by announcing that the heavyweight title fight between Chris Arreola of Riverside and Bermane Stiverne of Miami will take place May 10 at USC's Galen Center. It will be televised by ESPN.
Arreola (36-3, 31 KOs) and Stiverne (23-1-1, 20 KOs) will fight for the belt vacated by Vitali Klitschko, who relinquished the title so he can concentrate on his political career in his native Ukraine.
"Vitali was a great champion, in and out of the ring, and the winner of this fight will have big shoes to fill wearing the green belt around their waist," said Dan Goossen, Arreola's promoter. "Chris will definitely be going into this fight with his back against the wall. It's that type of do-or-die situation I believe when he's the most motivated and dangerous."
Arreola and Stiverne have already tangled once, with Stiverne winning a wide unanimous decision over Arreola this past April at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario.
Venue for Chris Arreola-Bermane Stiverne to be announced on FNF; could be Galen Center
Henry Ramirez, trainer for heavyweight contender Chris Arreola of Riverside, tweeted Friday that he will be interviewed on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights from Morongo Casino in Cabazon and that an announcement will be made regarding the venue for the May 10 heavyweight title fight between Arreola and Bermane Stiverne.
We're not sure how true this is, but we heard a rumor from a source that says the site will be USC's Galen Center. One thing's certain, the fight will be televised by ESPN.
Arreola and Stiverne will fight for the belt vacated by Vitali Klitschko.
Chris Arreola's camp displeased with delay of heavyweight title fight with Bermane Stiverne
It was about a month ago that the WBC announced a purse bid had been avoided when promoters Dan Goossen and Don King reached an accord for Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne to fight for the heavyweight championship vacated by Vitali Klitshcko in December.
Still, no date and venue have been announced. Goossen, Arreola's promoter, told this newspaper this week he is hopeful he will have something on that no later than Monday. Meanwhile, Team Arreola is irked.
"Extremely frustrating. Extremely," said Arreola's trainer, Henry Ramirez.
He didn't stop there.
"We put the Klitschko fight together in a fraction of this time," said Ramirez, alluding to Arreola's challenge to then-champion Klitschko in September 2009 at Staples Center in Los Angeles; Klitschko stopped Arreola after 10 rounds. "This has just been completely frustrating. Klitshcko made his announcement (that he was giving up his title) Dec. 15, over two months ago. "And here we are with nothing set, no date, no venue. There is stuff being kicked around behind the scenes, but nothing's set yet."
As for Arreola …
"I know he's extremely frustrated," Ramirez said. "But the thing I've tried to explain to him, I've said, 'Look, Stiverne is going through the same thing, so all we've gotta do is be ready to go.' "
Vitali Klitschko steps down as WBC heavyweight champion ahead of political run
Vitali Klitschko has stepped down as WBC heavyweight champion so he can concentrate on running for president of his native Ukraine. Klitschko, 42, has not defended his title in some 15 months. Accordingly, the WBC has named him champion emeritus, meaning if and when he decides to continue his career, he can challenge the champion at that time.
This could mean that Bermane Stiverne and Riverside's Chris Arreola, the Nos. 1- and 2-ranked contenders, will fight for the vacant title. But if Stiverne does not settle his litigation with his promoter – Don King – and is unable to fight, Arreola and No. 3 Deontay Wilder could fight for the title.
Chris Arreola's nose was broken in five places by Bermane Stiverne
Promoter Dan Goossen tells us that Chris Arreola's nose was broken in five places in the third round of his April 27 heavyweight title-elimination bout with Bermane Stiverne at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario.
Arreola, who lost a unanimous decision, will have a procedure done on the nose next week to help with its rehabilitation.
The loss was quite a setback for Arreola, 32, who is still trying to become the first heavyweight champion of Mexican descent. He challenged Vitali Klitschko for his title in September 2009 but was stopped after 10 rounds at Staples Center.
Goossen, however, believes Arreola is going to some day reach his goal.
"Is he capable of doing it?" Goossen said. "I believe he still is capable."
Going back to the nose, Arreola bled profusely from the third round on after his nose was broken with a right cross that put him on the canvas.
"I got up in the ring afterward and throughout my years of seeing our share of blood and guts battles, there was more blood on this ring than I can ever recall seeing before, so Chris obviously lost a lot of blood," Goossen said.
Goossen said as soon as Arreola's nose heals, he'll sit down with him to talk about what's next.
