The fight provides chief support to Gavin Rees vs. Anthony Crolla in Betfair's 'Rock & Croll'. Smith is confident he'll beat Dodson for the second time, and is itching to get in the ring:
"I cannot wait to get back in there and show what I can do, to perform and to be showcased on Sky Sports again, having people sitting up and actually being able to watch the fight." "I'm hungry to get my belt back. That's the plan and that's what I am going to do and I am going to put in a very good performance on Saturday night. "I know what I've got. We can talk about the last fight but this is three years later, I think we've both changed since then and I think we'll see a different fight on Saturday, a more open and better fight." Smith defended the British title against Dodson back in March 2010, sustaining some nasty cuts early in the bout to hold Dodson at bay. The challenger that night has moved up to light heavyweight and now back down for a fourth attempt to land the belt, and the 32 year old admits it's all or nothing on Saturday. "My whole career is on the line," said Dodson.
"It's a massive fight, the most important of my career. I know what's at stake and it's given me more incentive to want to get the win because, obviously, he got the win over me last time. "The pair of us prepare perfectly. I've got no excuses, I'm a totally different fighter from what I was last time. I've got no weight issues, I'll get on the scales now and will probably be under the championship weight already."
Unbeaten super bantamweight Scott Quigg returns to action against Brazilian William Prado, Blackpool's light middleweight Brian Rose clashes with Alexey Ribchev, Erick Ochieng warms up for his British light middleweight title clash in the autumn against Liam Smith with a six-rounder, and Team GB captain Thomas Stalker is looking to move to 5-0.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Within 6 months we started getting calls saying we didn't have insurance on it. So, my insurance company sent all of the required papers showing proof of insurance. Next statement they added insurance coverage to my account. So, once again my insurance company sent them proof of insurance and also their corporate office sent them papers.
That time they took the added insurance off of my account. This was after a month of many calls and paperwork faxed, emailed and mailed. Every time, claims of "well we never received anything."
Within another 6 months which was in March 2011, we are going through the same crap but worse. The last 2 statements have an extra $72 a month added. We have been on the phone with Lobel several times. My insurance company has faxed them more info 3 times, emailed the info twice and corporate has mailed all required info as well. The last set of insurance info was sent on May 3rd.
Got off the phone with them today. They're still saying they don't have any proof of insurance. They even received a letter from my car insurance company stating that there has never been a lapse in full coverage on this Durango. I received a copy as well. So tell me how can a financial institute still be claiming to of never received the required insurance info?
I have wasted my cell minutes, I've had to clock out of my job to talk to them and my insurance company. So, I'm also losing money with all of the incompetence.
I pay extra every month on my account and now because of whatever stupidity or scamming that's going on with the Lobel, I am showing late amounts on my statement. Which better NOT be on my credit. They have also given me different balances of what I owe. Raising it and nothing coming off the balance when I make a payment.
I've asked to speak to a Supervisor many, many, many times! I have never been connected to a supervisor or at least anyone that claims to be one. I emailed everyone from Lobel that I could find an address for. Also, Matt Gephardt from our local news so that other viewers can beware of Lobel's shady behavior.
This has been going on now for 2 months. It's ridiculous! I'm done with it. I filed a complaint with BBB and the California Secretary of state and plan on fighting to get the insurance fee removed and reimbursed for my personal time, minutes used on my cell phone and lost time of work hours.

I have been paying them $500/mo for over a year. Never missed a payment or been late. Car is fully insured and registered thru 2013. I was pulled over last sat night and told that my license was suspended. They impounded my car on sunday morning. Monday AM I cleared up the suspension, which was a court error, went to the cops and got an early release on my car. Went to get my car out of impound and Lobel had repossessed it. Not for non payment, but because it was impounded and they call that a lien against their car, which it isn't until after 30 days. They claim I lost all rights to the car because it was impounded. I was told the the impound yard sends a letter to the lienholder. Well I am in AZ, they are in Anaheim, and even a fedx letter wouldn't get there in 1/2 day. So how did they know? I will not let this go, I just have no idea who I can go to for help. All the people who we are supposed to go to for help these days are the worse criminals of all...The courts, the police, the government in general. It's very disheartening and totally screwed.

Also everyime you send them a payment, if you do this by a check in the mail, send them a photocopy of your insurance paperwork with your check, so everytime their billing dept gets your payment they will also get your insurance paperwork.

'The more you tell the more you sell' – true or false?
For an industry that's been established for well over a century, you'd think that advertising would be on a par with rocket science, with all its fundamental principles and techniques distilled into a proven formula. The surprising truth is how little the industry has changed since its birth at the end of the 19th century.

When Richard Ingrams of Private Eye fame launched The Oldie magazine back in 1992 I suspect he did it in his usual contrarian spirit as a counter blast against 'yoof' culture.

A retail revolution that takes no prisoners
Last weekend my wife frog-marched me into Freeport, the designer shopping 'village' in Braintree, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the 'village' in the cult 60s TV series The Prisoner starring Patrick McGoohan.

How can I attract more visitors to my website?
"If you don't see what you want, please ask" is a sign you'll sometimes see in shop windows. For online shoppers it's a guiding principle. When they don't see what they're looking for they drop a description in their Google search box, and the website that comes up with the best match will top the list of search results,...

What happens if my website goes down?
So you're almost ready to step out onto the World Wide Web. Before you go online however your web designer will ask you how you want to 'host' your website: whether you'll handle it yourself or have him do it for you.
To return to our car analogy, that's the equivalent of asking you whether you want to join the...

An A to Z of fonts: what's what, what's in and what's out
Serif or sans serif? Roman or italic? Regular or bold? Display or text? Can you look at a font, recognise it, categorise it and, most importantly, specify it for any given application? If you can't, don't worry. Given the growth of digital typography – by the most conservative reckoning there are more than 50,000 fonts commercially available – even...

Professor Alison StoneProfessor
Research Interests
My main research interests are in two areas: (1) Feminist philosophy: particularly Irigaray and French feminism; concepts of sex, gender and the body; feminism and psychoanalysis; motherhood; and (2) Post Kantian continental philosophy: particularly Early German Romanticism, Hegel and German Idealism; Marx and Marxism; the Frankfurt School; existentialism; aesthetics in the continental tradition.
With Christoph Schuringa, I co-edit the journal the Hegel Bulletin, published by Cambridge University Press(http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=HGL).
Within these areas I have written four books. The first, on Hegel's metaphysics and philosophy of nature, is Petrified Intelligence: Nature in Hegel's Philosophy (SUNY Press, 2004). This became the focus of an author-meets-critics session at an American Philosophical Association conference in 2005 and Bulletin of the Hegel Society of Great Britain issue 51/52: Stone on Hegel's Philosophy of Nature. I have since published other journal articles on Hegel's philosophy of nature and the philosophies of nature of other German Idealist and Romantic thinkers, such as Schelling, Schlegel, Novalis and Hoelderlin.
My second book was Luce Irigaray and the Philosophy of Sexual Difference (Cambridge University Press, 2006), supported by a Leverhulme Research Fellowship in 2004-5, and the focus of an author-meets-critics session at the 2007 conference of the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy and a Critical Exchange in differences: Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies 19: 3 (2008). Since then I have continued to publish articles on Luce Irigaray's thought.
My next book was An Introduction to Feminist Philosophy (Polity Press, 2007), designed as an introductory textbook on the subject for students and general readers. The book covers: the nature of feminist philosophy; concepts of sex, gender, sexuality, sexual difference, and essentialism; birth; and the relations between feminist philosophy and feminist politics.
Most recently, in 2011 my book Feminism, Psychoanalysis, andMaternal Subjectivity (Routledge, 2011) came out. In this book I develop a philosophical and psychoanalytic approach to maternal subjectivity. The book covers maternal ambivalence, matricide, mother-daughter relationships, and the relation between maternity and cyclical time.
I've also edited and introduced the Edinburgh Critical History of Philosophy Volume 5: The Nineteenth Century (Edinburgh University Press, 2011), part of a new multi-volume series in history of philosophy.
Currently I am working on a monograph on the aesthetics of popular music, provisionally called An Aesthetics of Popular Music. Also, together with Ann Garry and Serene Khader, I am editing the Routledge Companion to Feminist Philosophy.
Other topics on which I have published work include: the ideas of Adorno, Simone de Beauvoir, Judith Butler, and Julia Kristeva; the relations between philosophy of nature and environmental philosophy; feminist debates about essentialism; and the relations between existentialism and atheism.
Current Teaching
I am not teaching at undergraduate level during the academic year 2014-15.
Ordinarily I teach on the undergraduate modules Aesthetics (PPR.301), History of Philosophy (PPR.201). I have also recently taught on the Ethics, Philosophy and Religion first year course. (EPR 100)
Career details
I did my DPhil at the University of Sussex from 1994 to 1998. My thesis was 'Sexual Difference and the Philosophy of Nature: Hegel, Irigaray and the Material'.
After finishing my DPhil I took up a temporary Lectureship in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge, lecturing mainly in political and feminist philosophy (1998-1999).
Then for three years I held the Thole Research Fellowship in Philosophy at Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge (1999-2002).
I then came to the then Centre for Philosophy at Lancaster in 2002.
From 2004-2005 I held a Leverhulme Research Fellowship and in 2007 I was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize. In 2005 I received a Research Prize from Lancaster University and an (annual) prize for the best article in the journal Contemporary Political Theory.
I am an appointed member of REF 2014 Sub-Panel 32, Philosophy.

Programming note: Tune in to 49ers Postgame Live on CSN Bay Area immediately after the 49ers-Jaguars game in London
LONDON – General manager Trent Baalke said the 49ers are not interested in trading running back LaMichael James.
However, the 49ers have placed running back Anthony Dixoon on the trade block, NFL executives tell the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Dixon, scheduled to be a free agent at the end of the season, is making $630,000 this season. It might be difficult for the 49ers to trade Dixon, and they would not be expected to obtain anything better than a seventh-round pick for his services.
The 49ers' willingness to deal Dixon makes sense on several different levels. The 49ers will have to create six spots on their 53-man roster in the second half of the season to account for wide receivers Mario Manningham and Michaael Crabtree, outside linebacker Aldon Smith, cornerback Eric Wright, defensive lineman Tank Carradine, and linebacker Nick Moody.
[RELATED: 49ers must create roster spaces | How will offense change with Manningham, Crabtree?]
If the 49ers deal Dixon, it would open up a roster spot so that the team would not have to release a special-teams contributor, such as Nate Stupar. It would also enable the 49ers to suit up second-year player LaMichael James for games. James has been inactive for the past three games, including Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The trade deadline is Tuesday, 1 p.m. (Pacific time).

A powerful materials discovery platform created at Harvard University to dramatically accelerate the process of screening millions of molecules for use in future technologies will now speed the commercial development of next-generation electronic displays.
Nine engineering-led interdisciplinary teams of researchers from 17 institutions across the United States are attempting to defy the laws of classical physics with potentially groundbreaking optical and acoustic studies funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Developers of imaging systems have long been beholden to certain rules of optics designs so well established and seemingly immutable as to be treated as virtual "laws" of physics.
For all the promise they have shown in the lab, polymer solar cells still need to "get on a roll" like the ones employed in printing newspapers so that large sheets of acceptably efficient photovoltaic devices can be manufactured continuously and economically.

If you need to stop motion on fast-moving targets or targets that heat and cool rapidly, FLIR's high speed thermal cameras offer the fast frame rates and integration you need. FLIR's newest camera, the X6900sc, can record 1000 fps of high speed data at full 640 x 512 resolution – meaning researchers can perform dynamic analysis of jet engine turbine blades, supersonic projectiles, explosions, and more, without losing areas of the frame to windowing.
The new Phantom® VEO family of cameras from Vision Research is made up of four high speed cameras designed to provide information on high speed events within scientific and industrial applications. The VEO710 and VEO410 models feature frame rates exceeding 7,000 fps, making these models ideal for traditional high-speed motion analysis. The four-megapixel VEO640 and VEO340 are optimized for scientific imaging applications where higher resolutions are important.

Continuing advances in high-resolution sensors with higher pixel densities and smaller pixels are challenging optics manufacturers to produce lenses of increased performance. To understand how lenses can affect the performance of imaging systems, it is necessary to grasp the physics behind diffraction, lens aperture, focal length, and the wavelength of light (see "Matching Lenses and Sensors," Vision Systems Design, March 2009). Additionally, other design limitations also restrict the optical capabilities of a lens, even before manufacturing tolerances are taken into account.
It is often necessary to have an understanding of how to chop a laser beam. Chopping diode lasers electrically is actually less costly and much simpler than doing so mechanically. This white paper walks through the process of chopping a diode laser beam at high speeds and low noise.
Tissue autofluorescence spectroscopy, or the measurement of intrinsic light emissions from biological agents upon excitation, is utilized in a variety of biomedical research for differentiating between diseased and normal tissues. Researchers interested in the correlation between temperature and tissue autofluorescence spectroscopy during surgery are finding their answers with the help of thermal imaging. FLIR offers a scientific camera with the ideal resolution and lens magnification for such research. This application note offers the full story on how researchers used FLIR cameras and ResearchIR software to work to gain a greater understanding of this surgical tool.
Thermal Imaging has been around for nearly a quarter of a century, and has grown considerably in the capability of providing scientists with heat radiation images that would normally be invisible to the naked eye. Thermal imaging is simply made up of a thermal scene, a lens, a sensor, and a display. But how do you focus heat? What kind of sensor detects heat, and how do you display it? This article offers a short Infrared 101 overview, and covers fundamental terms and concepts of thermal imaging.
PI recently released a low-profile motorized positioning stage – the M-122 – with a very small footprint of 60x86mm and a travel range of 25mm. This stage is best suited for research and industrial applications including fiber alignment, metrology, quality assurance testing, photonics packaging, test equipment, and micromachining.
Physicists have devised a new method to create a quantum network of atomic clocks consisting of ensembles of hundreds of entangled atoms. This network, they claim, is significantly more stable and accurate than existing atomic clocks, and has several critical applications, including the detection of gravitational waves.
A novel way to detect and harvest low-energy photons using heterostructures made of 2D materials and graphene may overcome the limitations of conventional semiconductor devices, and could lead to greater speed and efficiency in optoelectronic applications.

Murder '93 Lyrics by Ill Bill
Murder '93 by Ill Bill
murder, murder hehehehe, murder
"At first I harass them, then I murder them" (X 2)
Last night a b**ch bust my crib and found a carcass
Tried to press charges
But I walked free regardless
Like, Tony Montana
My trigger finger got stamina
You mess around and I'll BLAM BLAM in ya
Ramming your body parts down the cindering slots
I'm chopping your off then drop your pieces off a rooftop
Creator of the murder data
The Terminator
I murder, then I see you later
Living dead, stomping the streets of Brooklyn like a zombie
I come to eat your brain like a piece of salami
Contaminate you like a biohazard
Because I'm a sick bastard
2000 maniacs call me master
And they obey everything I say, no question
Suicide, plus more confession maintain aggression
Mr. Ill Bill brings your body to the blood feast
I'm the piece of corps condemned great tooled priest
Bodies, on top of bodies I instigate mutilation
Under federal investigations
Kathy Pears disappeared like all the children
2000 maniacs locked in my building
[Chorus X 2]
I get hyper with a butcher knife and a hash pipe
But pack with parts all my brain cells apart
Assorted body parts I'm starting to stab and chop up
Cover the floor with plasma, then I mop up
Unless I get dressed to kill when I spill
you guts,
Ill Bill the butcher ghost doesn't do manorial
Chop chop then pop, with the glock
go get my clip, then flip and pop pop pop pop
goes my gat
I'm flipping psychopathic spastic drastic
nuclear plastic putting people to caskets
All of a sacrifice
I'm gentle like Charles Manson
Crematoria people sleeps in a glancing
Ashes burnt, ?-----?
undead, humanoid end of the sent a laving
Like leukaemia, fights chemo therapy
The brain cancer, extravaganza
directs me, infects me
condemns me to the Brooklyn floors
Like price my pounce are stripes two heads like spikes
make nice, nice since I got a nadge to grind
I blind kids by poking out their eyes with my knifes
So, die, die, die, drop dead, die
you painted my face, popsicles to my brain
Bronchitis, septic virus, verbal colitis
bottom strides
girls get on top of guys
beyond the graves, slash in a bloodbath
Bubble, bubble toys bring trouble
zombies arrive, and you'll all be adopted
strapped with gats so - step - BACK
I been twisting fresh hits and grotesque torsions
I use a chainsaw, when I'm performing an abortion
I stack up bodies so back up , before I make my hatchet hack up,
and use your lifeblood's to grease the track up
I grab you then I stab you in the skull with a scalpel
Make your brain madder flatter and some part of rather doubtful
Blood everywhere and your hardly even breathing
I kick you to the face and make the flat line even
there's no tomorrow I'm the hardest stir of sorrow
Beyond the gates and wait backwards like Bizarro
Bizarre, strange, got maggots in my brains
Faggots roll down the hill and burn, burn in the FLAMES
[Chorus X2]

The Wii U grows exponentially more interesting, with the addition of outstanding modern platformer Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams and classic role-playing game Breath of Fire II in today's Nintendo Download. What other wonders lurk in this week's selection of digital downloads? Behold!
Pokémon Rumble U Is Much Better With NFC Toys. Weird.
The coolest feature of Pokémon Rumble U only works with the $3.99 collectible figures purchased separately from the $17.99 downloadable title, making it a mediocre game with optional improvement. Interesting idea.
Let's Open Up Some Pokémon Rumble U Figures
It's Pokémon Rumble U day in the Nintendo Download. They might not be the Pokémon you've been waiting for, but they'll do in a pinch. Don't forget to hit up GameStop for the near-field communication toys. And hey, is that the entire Bit.Trip Saga on 3DS for $5? SOLD! And that's pretty much it for this week's Nintendo…

August's abysmally weak job growth proved yet again that President Obama's economic policies are a miserable failure that will continue to undermine our country until he leaves office.
The government's report that the economy added just a minuscule 96,000 jobs last month came at the end of the Democrats' defensive national convention, where the president, Bill Clinton and other party luminaries made extravagant claims that things will get better if Mr. Obama is re-elected to a second term. (actually, 96,000 jobs weren't added because the Dept Labor dropped over 300,000 people as actice participants in the labor pool because they ran out of benefits!!)
But analysts at the Federal Reserve Board, economists and business leaders say Mr. Obama's declining economy is not going to get significantly better this year, next year or the year after that, until there are dramatic changes in the nation's fiscal policies. Changes Obama Democrats refuse to make.
Read more: Obama on track to have worst job record since World War II - Washington Times
Where's Yahoo "news" on this? - Too busy kissing up to Obama
Obama is perhaps the worst president ever!!!! The worse is yet to come if he's reelected. Yahoo is a winner big time!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Washington times is a fanatic Republican paper.
Boehner and the Congressional Republicans are working overtime to retard recovery by destabilizing the business/investing environment and so dampening investment in the US. Their donors don't have to worry about getting a job. Republicans in Congress will make a living after their faithful service. For example Rep Sen Gramm, who wrote the legislation enabling unregulated derivatives and worked hard in the Senate for Wall Street on financial "reform" for years eventually went to work as a Washington lobbyist for the Utah subsidiary of UBS, the Swiss bank. He was a VP. Now he has a nice job with the Heritage Foundation AFAIK.
Romney is running on a crony Capitalism and plutocracy platform. That is a formula for failure that has been a disaster in country after country in modern times. It fails because it is not Capitalism and Markets which we know succeeds. Wall Street and present US medical care overall are crony Capitalist bubbles bought in Pay-To-Play Washington. They are eating more than a quarter of US GDP and also retarding recovery.
The Republican "trickle down" or "supply side", Romney's economics, is a hoax, a cover story for redistributing wealth upwards. Do we get jobs out of it? No - we get offshore accounts, offshore investment, and shocking consumption. Wall Street and the Republicans detached themselves from Main Street years ago. Main Street is the real US economy. That's where most innovation and net new job creation happens. The corporations more and more buy their global interests in Pay-To-Play Washington, not American ones.
The Republican majority House of Representatives have been passing budgets and job creating bills but the Democrat majority Senate has been blocking every single one of them.
It takes a lot of money to develop ideas into products, test them for safety and to comply with thousands of fed regulations, and then to mass produce and market them. You libs are clueless about how business works. I own a small business and I emply a few people, but i can't afford to hire anymore because of the radical increase in federal regulations from Obama along with his $4 a gallon gas prices. ($1.60 when bush left) Obama's regulations caused even more companies to shut down factories in the US and outsource those jobs in other countries.

Cavaliers hand UNC 3rd straight home loss
Published: Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 9:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 9:49 p.m.
CHAPEL HILL — Sylven Landesberg scored 29 points and Virginia ran off 18 unanswered points early in the second half to beat struggling North Carolina 75-60 on Sunday night.
Sammy Zeglinski added 19 points for the Cavaliers (13-6, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference), who regrouped from consecutive losses to earn another impressive victory under first-year coach Tony Bennett. Virginia had lost 63 of 68 meetings in Chapel Hill, but blew the game open by holding the Tar Heels without a field goal for nearly 8 minutes in front of a stunned Smith Center crowd.
While Landesberg led the offense, Zeglinski knocked down a pair of 3-pointers during the decisive run, which turned a 35-32 margin into a 21-point lead with 14:20 to play.
Virginia never let North Carolina (13-8, 2-4) back in it, maintaining a comfortable lead and shooting 52 percent for the game.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
During the admission, the admission counselor and registrar reviewed my official DeVry transcript and waived 3 classes from the Keller graduation requirement (total of 9 credits). A document was given to me by the admission counselor showing the graduation path and the waivers that had been accorded.
A few months later, I was told by the student services that one of the waivers did not count and had to register for an additional class to make up for those 3 credits now lost. They were justifying this by the fact that that particular DeVry class was no longer in the academic catalog. I had to point them to the fact stated in the academic catalog (governing policies) that the graduation requirements are governed by the catalog in effect in the academic year of the enrollment. They failed to produce the catalog not showing the class in question. The class was indeed no longer in the following year's catalog (actually it was just renamed; same class, same material, same topics, different code). My academic progress was manually changed to show that the class I had a waiver for no longer counted against the academic requirements for graduation (the class was still listed but with a manual override to not count for graduation).
A back and forth between student services and I went on for months. Eventually they conceded and gave me a "pass option" to use to take the extra class at no charge. I agreed and took it.
I filled out the form and submitted it to student services as requested. For weeks there was no acknowledgment of this submission. Every time I called student services I was told that it was processed. The registration for the next session came, I registered and was charged for all credits. Calling again student services they acted like they didn't know anything about a pass option. Pointing them to the still opened support requests with the pass option still attached and on record forced them to acknowledge that there was a pass option. They told me to resubmit it and I did.
The next session and registration came and the pass option was not applied; still being charged for all credit hours. I called student services a great number of times and was told every time that it was submitted and processed and it was where it was supposed to be (student finance).
Eventually I called student finance and they told me that it was submitted 3 days before my call (I had been told for months that it had been submitted to finance).
For several weeks I've been in the middle of another back and forth between student services and student finance; student finance would state that student services didn't finish processing it and to call student services and student services would state that they did and to call student finance.
Threatening with a lawsuit (which is in progress) put a different traction on the case. Student services now states that I cannot use a pass option to take a class; only for retaking a class that I failed for some extraordinary reasons. And of course acting all surprised about my attempt. Keep in mind that I did not ask for a pass option; I asked for them to recognize the officially awarded waivers and the pass option was a settlement they offered.
They have an online customer support system that at one point in this debacle I asked them to use so I can have a "paper" trail. Multiple support requests related with this matter were being closed without the option to be reopened and/or add comments or updates. On some, they removed my access completely.
In conclusion, this company (cannot call it school) is an absolute joke. You have the same experience with them as when dealing with a used car salesman. The level of incompetence in student services and finance is staggering - student services has only one job: to register (sale) you for classes whether you need them for graduation or not (which they attempted and eventually conceded that I didn't need them - a yet another case).
Recently my progress report for graduation requirements jumped from 45 credits to 66(!). They could not produce any explanation on how that happened and eventually reversed it.
If you are willing to put in the effort and expense to get a master degree you owe it to yourself to avoid this "school". It is just a racket on a mission to extract as much money from you as possible by engaging in shady sales and business practices. Employees in student finance and student services are a monument of incompetence and a disgrace for the business they work for and any business for that matter.

Character Analysis
Lovin' Govinda
Everyone knows a Govinda. He's a good dude. He studies super-hard (without being a teacher's pet). He looks for guidance and picks up mentors the way some people pick up games of basketball. He's a sponge of knowledge. He's the follower in a lifelong game of follow-the-leader—and though he'd rather be by Siddhartha's side most of the time, he's happy to find spiritual leadership wherever he can.
Govinda is Siddhartha's loyal companion and friend from boyhood. Like Siddhartha, Govinda is searching for enlightenment, but unlike Siddhartha, Govinda likes to tag along. He benefits from religious community and doctrine and seeks instruction from individuals who have achieved enlightenment. He relies on others to help him determine when he is on the right path:
Govinda said: "Still, oh Siddhartha, you love a bit to mock people, as it seems to me. I believe in you and know that you haven't followed a teacher. But haven't you found something by yourself, though you've found no teachings, you still found certain thoughts, certain insights, which are your own and which help you to live? If you would like to tell me some of these, you would delight my heart." (12.18)
Although his method is very different from Siddhartha's, Govinda does ultimately attain enlightenment, showing us that enlightenment has different paths. The similarities between the two characters demonstrate that determination, persistence, and patience are necessary traits for achieving a spiritual awakening.
The relationship between Govinda and Siddhartha forms a circular path. As young boys set on reaching enlightenment, they offer one another a sense of companionship and support. When Govinda asks to be accepted as one of the Buddha's monks and Siddhartha's sense of disillusionment with doctrine increases, it becomes clear that each man has to pursue his own way. Govinda appears on the riverbank to offer protection at Siddhartha's time of great desperation and need.
Finally, once Govinda and Siddhartha have each traveled their unique and necessary paths, Siddhartha helps Govinda take the last step toward enlightenment.Govinda Timeline

They constantly harrass my references, asking them where my car is at because they are going to reposses it. It is very annoying, not to mention embarassing. I wasn't aware that they could give out that information.
Last month, I asked again about them lowering my payments so they told me that if I send the full payment and fax them a letter stating why I needed my payments lowered, they could lower my monthly payments to about half the amount. I did what they asked and after they recieved the money and letter, they said they were not going to lower my payments because I should have informed them that I needed my payments lowered when I lost my job. I told them that I did inform them two weeks after I lost my job but they said they couldn't lower my payments. So because someone lied to me back then, they are refusing to help me out, continue to threaten and harrass me, and also, one of their employees was very rude to my father and called him a liar.
