He supposedly ordered the wrong one and needed to get rid of it fast. He told me he was "lost" and had to hurry to get the correct sound systems delivered and installed to the correct house.
He was high pressure, fast talking, etc. Wanted me to give him $1800 for this thing. It was brand new sealed in box, etc. He even had a magazine pic of one similar that sold for $4400. He told me to go to the bank in Frys and take a cash advance off my credit card. This guy is an a** (and that is putting it nicely). He works with another guy too. I called to ask for help installing it and he said he was too busy and hung up on me. I called back and he wouldn't answer his phone.
I feel like the most stupid, gullible human being on Earth. I pray that no one else gets trapped. I do believe that what goes around, comes around. And these pricks have got it coming.

Program Overview
The purpose of BYU's TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) MA program is to prepare students with linguistic, instructional, and cultural-awareness skills for professional careers as teachers, materials, developers, curriculum designers, supervisors, administrators, and assessment specialists in the international field of TESOL. The program also provides a solid base for students who desire to pursue doctoral studies in TESOL, applied linguistics, language education, instructional design, language assessment, or related fields.
The TESOL MA program provides professional-level preparation for careers in teaching English to speakers of other languages in any of the following areas:
- Intensive English programs at universities
- ESL/EFL courses for private companies
- English as a foreign language (in non-English speaking countries)
- Supervision/Administration of ESL/EFL programs
- ESL/EFL teacher preparation
- Community college and university-level ESL courses
- Adult education ESL programs for immigrants and refugees
Completion of the MA TESOL program also provides a student with appropriate preparation for further study at the doctoral level.
Students graduating with the MA in TESOL from the Department of Linguistics and English Language develop knowledge in six domains:
1. General English Language Proficiency: Proficiency in all skill areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to be strong teachers of English.
2. Linguistic Knowledge: Fundamental linguistic knowledge in the areas of phonology, syntax, and semantics.
3. General Pedagogical Knowledge: General pedagogical knowledge in areas such as writing instructional objectives, planning classroom instruction, and assessing learning.
4. Second Language Teaching, Learning, and Context Knowledge: The ability to utilize the linguistic knowledge and specialized language-teaching skills to effectively instruct English language learners in varying classroom contexts.
5. General Research Knowledge: The ability to understand and evaluate empirical research reports of the types commonly published in the social sciences.
6. Second Language Teaching and Learning Research Knowledge: The knowledge and skills to (1) ask appropriate research questions in line with academic and professional interests in TESOL and (2) design valid ways to find answers to these questions.
The TESOL MA Program Learning Outcomes
The TESOL MA program is designed to achieve the following six program learning outcomes:
1. Systems of Human Language: Demonstrate an understanding of the major systems of human language (phonology, morphology, lexicon, syntax/grammar, semantics, & pragmatics).
2. Language Learning Theory: Analyze and apply theories of second language learning and acquisition.
3. Teaching Strategies and Procedures: Examine second language teaching strategies and procedures and apply accepted principles of effective lesson planning and materials development.
4. Research: Analyze, perform, and communicate professional-level research.
5. Advanced specialized language teaching knowledge and skills in one of the following areas:

§ 3 Letters of Recommendation
§ GRE (must be taken within the five years prior to beginning the program)

Further information for international students can be found online at http://internationalservices.byu.edu. The TOEFL must be taken within the two years prior to beginning the program.
§ Students begin coursework fall semester. However, new admits who have not had a thorough linguistics background, must come to BYU during the summer term and take Ling 401 – Introduction to Graduate Linguistics. If you believe you have taken an equivalent course at another university, please send that course syllabus to the department secretary for evaluation at email@example.com
§ Apply online at http://www.byu.edu/gradstudies.

VIEWS FROM THE TOP -- The 500-foot-tall Top O' Texas Tower, which debuted in June as part of Summer Adventures in Fair Park, gives brave fairgoers a 360-degree panoramic view of Dallas. The 55-foot-diameter cabin, where riders sit, travels vertically at 6.5 feet per second and rotates one foot per second. It's kind of like one of those revolving restaurants, only faster — not too scary at all.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Since most of the owner's have been contacted regarding advertising there property, the new thing in this industry is for the "sales person's' pitch to say that they have interested parties (but are very vague and won't give full details, because, yeah technically anyone that looked at the website was a "interested party".) Some of the representatives will go as far as to tell you that the do have a buyer, which is completely illegal in the state of Florida, where the room is located. Also, most employee's with the company do not give their real names so that they can speak with you as a different person when you call back checking on the progress, which is also illegal.
If someone contacts you and says that they have an interested party or a buyer be VERY persistent in wanting to see actual proof. Do not accept a phone call as proof as sometimes the Reps work in teams. One will say they are selling it for you and the other will talk to you and ask questions as if he/she was the actual buyer. The companies that deal with resale of timeshares and vacant property are not licensed to actually sell your property, it is For Sale By Owner unless you are dealing with an actual Real Estate Broker. All the company can legally do is provide you with advertising. These type of companies will also say that this is the ONLY way to sell or rent your property. My advice, contact the actual resort and double check on this because some resorts will actually help you with this.
If you have been scammed by this or any other company in the same fashion the best advice I can give you is DO NOT sign any paperwork note that your paperwork will say an "asking price" since they in fact DO NOT have a buyer. Dispute and even re-dispute or go into arbitration with your credit card company as soon as possible. Your credit card company WILL protect you against fraudulent charges as long as you have not signed there paperwork. Even if the company does have a VERBAL receipt.
Most importantly contact the Department of Agriculture. The more complaints the D.O.A. gets the more likely they are to investigate and get the company shut down. In Florida the phone number for the D.O.A. is 1-800-HELP-FLA (1-800-4357-352). The more people that call the harder it will be for these types of companies to continue to take advantage of people. Please also not and BEWARE that they love to pray on the elderly. The representative's actually get extremly excited when they have an older person on the phone.

Welcome....to the website of the 1974 Elkhart Central and Elkhart Memorial High School Alumni!
Like the years that have woven together the tapestry of our lives since graduation over 43 years ago, our journey has brought us many joys, triumphs and challenges, as well as fond memories of our classmates who are no longer with us. It is time to reflect, connect and renew old friendships.
Many of us were on our journey together as classmates from Elementary through the Sophomore Division. We made history as the last class to attend the Elkhart Sophomore Division (the old Elkhart High School), which closed it's doors after 100 years. The Elkhart school was split into two High Schools in the Fall of 1972.
The Elkhart Central & Elkhart Memorial students became Blazers and Chargers. In honor of coming back together, we have created our own class logo above, designed to show our unity as ONE class of 1974.
Please check back often for our latest news and announcements and we hope to see you all at our TAPESTRY reunion in the summer of 2019!
Fundraising guru, Lora Minichillo, organized a charitable fundraiser, with the assistance of Bob Bieber, Art Department Chairman at Concord High School. A Night In Clay was held at Bob's pottery studio. He taught our enthusiastic classmates
how to design and create pottery! A silent auction was displayed by Lora during the pottery session
and $750 was raised to benefit Riley Hospital for Children!
Over twenty classmates participated in a "give back" project at our 40th class reunion, led by our classmate and Elkhart City Councilman, Brent Curry. The site at Nibco Ice Rink needed landscaping work to prepare for a new art display. Our generous classmates stepped up to volunteer their time and talent to help the community!

When I received the 2nd shipment I tried contact the company to ask them to discontinue sending them. I was on hold for 45 minutes and when a gentleman answered the phone he asked if I could hold, did not wait for a reply and then hung up.
Now a year and a half later I am still being billed repeatedly when I have refused delivery on their packages. They have never credited my VISA account with any of those refused packages. After disputing the item on my VISA they turned around and re-shipped under a different return address and rebilled my VISA.
I feel my only option is to cancel my credit card and go through all the hassle of changing automatic payment issues to stop this quarterly madness.

Ok, this used to be easy to do with CSS. Now it has become difficult (probably not, but it confounds me). WP seems to have added a Custom Background section to their admin. Now, I cannot use my own CSS to specify a background color and image. Does anyone know how I can override the built-in WP Custom Background code?
I used to be able to put
body {
background-image: url(images/my_image.jpg);
background-position: center bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
color: #000;
But that doesn't do anything now in the Twenty Eleven template.
Thanks in advance.

Police mark decade since teen's disappearance
MONTGOMERY Vermont police say investigators are still receiving tips about the 2004 disappearance of 17-year-old Brianna Maitland, last seen when she left her job at a Montgomery inn.
Wednesday is the 10th anniversary of Maitlands disappearance.
Police say there is a strong likelihood that Maitland was the victim of a crime.
Maitland was last seen when she left her job at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery at about 11:20 p.m. on March 19, 2004. Her car was found the next day next to an abandoned farmhouse a short distance from the inn where she worked.
Police say there is no evidence she left the area willingly.
State Police Major Glenn Hall says investigators believe someone knows what happened to her.

I signed up to have you provide electricity based on your posting on Power to Choose where you claimed you could provide power at a better rate than the Rate to Beat posted by Reliant Energy.
Your rate for the first few months was a penny or two below Reliant. Recently your rate has varied from $0.1200 to $0.25123. You sent out a notice in the last bill claiming this was increases in fuel prices. During the same period, in a house I own two blocks away, Reliant has increased their rate, based on fuel increases from $0.129 $0.1610. The monthly differences on your bill, using Reliant charges are:
Dynowatt Reliant % difference $ Cost Extra(approx)
April- $0.16706 $0.135 24% $13.58
May $0.20961 0.135 55 $57.70
June 0.25123 0.135 86 $158.41
July 0.21900 0.161 37 $51.51
August 0.20027 0.161 24 $45.95
It is not reasonable that you charge so much more for the same product! There is no justification for me to pay a three hundred dollar premium for your service
I do not believe you can justify your increase based on fuel costs! At the same time your website advertises a rate of $0.132. Your claim that other suppliers are having similar increased is not true as shown above.
I believe this represents consumer fraud, fraudulent advertising and unjustified price increases that look close to bait and switch.
I am filing a complaint with both the PUC and the Consumer Fraud Bureaus. I have transferred my account to another vendor.

Despite, this doctors past reviews I decided to set up a appointment. So having said that It was a mistake. Him and his assistant wow I felt like I was in some kind of integration." I made it CLEAR where and what kind of pain, I was having, and how many spine specialist I've see in the past and most recently. And by the way the last one I seen is know for being one of the best in the WORLD. He still did a exam and wasted time asking me and focusing on my spine. READ?? PATIENT HISTORY I DO NOT H
Totally cocky made me feel Aweful can't get a word in edgewise don't go to him worse attitude don't waste your time he wasted mine!!!!
He is the stereotypical pain management doctor who does not listen or appear to care. No discussion of a treatment plan. Did not listen to me. Arrogant. Never again.
Dr. Leizman spent less than 5 minutes with me. He did not listen to my concerns or answer my questions. As a matter of fact he was rude and short with ...
Poor bedside manor, bad attitude, belittling to me and my spouse and all that was in the 4 minutes he was in the room with us. You'd honestly do better going to the local Veterinarian. Never again Dr Leizman, never again.
Full of himself! In and out as quick as possible... A QUACK!
Dr Daniel Leizman was TERRIBLE. I WAS CHARGED $532.00 FOR NOTHING. I did not go to him for pain medicine. It says in his bio that he is an alternative doctor. I thought he could help me. He was in the room for 20 seconds. Rude ,arrogant, nasty, is the best way to describe Dr. DANIEL LEIZMAN. ABSOUTLY NO HELP AT ALL. DON'T WASTE YOU MONEY.
I feel so stupid for not following my instincts about this dr.,but I was in so much pain I just needed relief..Make sure you read these negative reviews,because they are true. He never even called me by my name,which I think is rude.I think reading reviews can help us and maybe help the dr.also.I think that pain management can be very judgmental.
I was sent to this mook for a rehab evaluation. It consisted of 5 steps and him moving my leg. At the end, he said with total certanty that I was able to return to my previous job, He obviously does not believe in pain and really treated me like a drug seeker, even though I asked him for nothing. I feel like he was trying to cover up the mistakes that the surgeon made in my case. He has NO bedside manner and didnt even waash his hands prior to his "exam". I would not recommend him and do not trust what he told me was at all true.
He's a 'Pain Management' doctor, right? Â The first time I entered his office, the first words out of his mouth were 'I won't be prescribing any pain medication for you.'. Â That was before he had even heard anything about what my problem was. Â I could go on and on about specifics; but let's just say he's an egotistical, know-it-all who doesn't listen, doesn't care and does absolutely nothing of any benefit to help or even diagnose. Â The three times I saw him, he had me do exactly the same four things: Â touch my toes, raise my arms above my head, raise my chin and turn my head to each side. Â Then when I asked what information these little tests were giving him, he couldn't even tell me that. Â No matter what question is asked of him, he has absolutely no answer to it. Â Three visits, three hours wasted waiting for him. Â If there was a negative rating on here to give him, I'd do it.
A lack of thoroughness was evident. Asked a few questions, and within 10 minutes he diagnosed me. Seemed to ignore me when I explained how I truly was feeling, and stuck to what he thought was wrong with me. His unwillingness to go the extra mile for me was quiet evident. He was unwilling to try to get me into a specialized care, even though he new we drove 7 hours for a 10 minute doctor visit. Even though he could have. I am extremely disappointed!
Thinks he is an expert in rating a person as being totally disabled, he isnt.
Dr. Leizman heard me not just pushed me by. He's trying to get me the help that I really need not just giving me pills that wouldn't help. Even though my pain is more every time I see him, he doesn't get mad. Thanks! The longer I sit it's hard for me to stay in one place. I keep tailing myself "it's only temporary". this too shell pass.Dr. Leizman is also very nice to my husband when he speaks and asks questions.
Dr. Leizman is great.

Valodia, Imraan Komatsu, Hitomi http://aladinrc.wrlc.org:80/handle/1961/5013 2014-04-14T18:23:45Z 2008-05-01T00:00:00Z The Gender Dimensions of Social Networks, Unemployment and Underemployment: What Time Use Data Reveal Floro, Maria S.; Valodia, Imraan; Komatsu, Hitomi Utilizing time use data for exploring the issue of employment (or lack thereof) – a critical pathway for increased incomes for the poor - has received little attention in economic analysis. Using data from the 2000 South African national time use survey, this paper examines the value of time use data in policy discussions related to understanding people's employment status and job search. In particular, we argue that an understanding of how individuals organize their daily life can help identify productive work and workers in a more comprehensive way than conventional labor force surveys and can provide an useful assessment of the effects of employment conditions on coping strategies like job search. We assess whether labor force surveys provide a good estimation of participation in productive activities by exploring the time use patterns of 10, 465 women and men aged 16-64 years, particularly the unemployed, underemployed and employed respondents. The results show that 26.7 and 17.5 percent of unemployed men and women respectively actually engaged in SNA productive activities, spending more time than underemployed men and women. We also examine individuals' responses to jobless growth that affect their labor force participation and time use. Building and developing social networks serves as an important coping strategy not only for enhancing social insurance but also for improving job prospects. Using an instrumental variable tobit model, we examine whether or not an unemployed person is likely to spend more time in social networking compared to other respondents. The findings, which are found to be robust, confirm the hypothesis. The results also show significant gender differences, with women spending less time in social networking than men. Women carry the burden of housework, which limits their time in developing social networks and in improving their employment prospects. Working Paper No. 2008-09. 41 pages. 2008-05-01T00:00:00Z Is there a Link between Quality of Employment and Indebtedness? The Case of Urban Low-income Households in Ecuador Floro, Maria S. Messier, John http://aladinrc.wrlc.org:80/handle/1961/5012 2014-04-14T18:25:22Z 2008-07-01T00:00:00Z Is there a Link between Quality of Employment and Indebtedness? The Case of Urban Low-income Households in Ecuador Floro, Maria S.; Messier, John In recent decades, there has been a marked increase in the informalization of employment in developing countries. The risk and insecurity associated with a growing number of informal sector jobs have important consequences in inducing or maintaining vulnerability. This paper explores the incidence of high indebtedness or financial stress among urban, low-income households in Ecuador and demonstrates its interconnectedness with the quality of employment. The implications are non-trivial in the sense that high debt service burden, as with the lack of credit access, can undermine investment and maintain low productivity and earnings. It can also lead to higher probability of loan default and to increase in interest rates or termination of credit line. There are also longer term welfare consequences in terms of households' ability to cope with future shocks such as illness. The analysis is based on a 2002 sample of men and women in urban, poor households in Ecuador. By means of tobit and regression analyses, the paper demonstrates that labor market informalization has led to higher incidence of indebtedness. Moreover, there are differentiated patterns of debt servicing among women and men in urban, poor households. The results provide a more nuanced yet illuminating picture of the interconnectedness of employment, financial stress and vulnerability. We argue that informalization of employment has consequences in other dimensions of vulnerability of households such as high debt servicing, and therefore requires rethinking of current economic and social policies in order to effectively reduce poverty. Working Paper No. 2008-08. 48 pages. 2008-07-01T00:00:00Z Would a North American monetary union protect Canada and Mexico against the ravages of "Dutch disease"? Blecker, Robert A. Seccareccia, Mario http://aladinrc.wrlc.org:80/handle/1961/5011 2014-04-14T18:29:38Z 2008-07-01T00:00:00Z Would a North American monetary union protect Canada and Mexico against the ravages of "Dutch disease"? Blecker, Robert A.; Seccareccia, Mario After the formation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, enthusiasts of regional integration in North America turned their attention to "deeper" forms of integration, especially a customs union or monetary union.1 Interest in proposals for deeper integration peaked around the turn of the new millennium, both north of the 49th parallel and south of the Rio Grande (Río Bravo). Although the unilateralist turn of US foreign policy under President George W. Bush since 2001 has lessened enthusiasm for deeper integration with the US in both Canada and Mexico, these sorts of proposals remain "in the air" and could easily be revived by future North American governments. Working Paper No. 2008-07. 42 pages. Forthcoming in: Gerald Epstein, Thomas Schlesinger, and Matías Vernengo, editors, The Political Economy of Monetary Policy and Financial Regulation: Essays in Honor of Jane D'Arista, Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar, 2009. 2008-07-01T00:00:00Z Davidson on Keynes: the open economy dimension Blecker, Robert A. http://aladinrc.wrlc.org:80/handle/1961/5010 2014-04-14T18:19:30Z 2008-07-01T00:00:00Z Davidson on Keynes: the open economy dimension Blecker, Robert A. This article reviews the treatment of open economy issues in Paul Davidson's book, John Maynard Keynes (2007). Davidson aptly summarizes Keynes's criticism of the international monetary system for the asymmetric "burden of adjustment" it places on deficit countries compared with surplus countries, which imparts a contractionary bias to the world economy. Davidson also updates Keynes's proposals for global monetary reform and extends his analysis of international trade. However, Davidson's arguments about mainstream views of international finance and the ineffectiveness of exchange rate adjustments are on less solid ground. This article suggests reformulations of Davidson's interpretations on the latter two points. Working Paper No. 2008-06. 32 pages. 2008-07-01T00:00:00Z An Examination of Entry and Competitive Performance in Rural Banking Markets Feinberg, Robert M. Reynolds, Kara M. http://aladinrc.wrlc.org:80/handle/1961/5009 2014-04-14T18:21:57Z 2008-05-01T00:00:00Z An Examination of Entry and Competitive Performance in Rural Banking Markets Feinberg, Robert M.; Reynolds, Kara M. This paper explores the change in the level of competition in rural banking markets since the deregulation that occurred following passage of the Riegle Neal Act of 1994. Using an empirical model that utilizes both the number of banks and the value of deposits in a cross-section of rural markets, we decompose the impact of the entry of new banks into resulting changes in per capita demand and the costs/profits of local banks in both 1994 and 2004. We conclude that the banking market is more competitive today despite the fact that the number of banks may have declined; on average fewer banks are now needed to make rural banking markets competitive than were needed in 1994. Working Paper No. 2008-05 2008-05-01T00:00:00Z External Shocks, Structural Change, and Economic Growth in Mexico 1979–2007 Blecker, Robert A. http://aladinrc.wrlc.org:80/handle/1961/5008 2014-04-14T18:22:27Z 2008-09-01T00:00:00Z External Shocks, Structural Change, and Economic Growth in Mexico 1979–2007 Blecker, Robert A. This paper finds that shocks to net financial inflows, world oil prices, the U.S. growth rate, and the lagged real exchange rate explain most of the fluctuations in Mexico's annual growth since 1979. The paper also estimates how the effects of these external constraints have changed since Mexico's liberalization policies of the late 1980s and the formation of NAFTA in 1994. Estimates of an investment function and other tests show that growth drives investment but not conversely, in the short run. Investment is driven mainly by oil prices and the accelerator effect; foreign direct investment has no significant impact. Working Paper No. 2008-04. 34 pages. 2008-09-01T00:00:00Z Cofactor Infections and HIV Epidemics in Developing Countries: Implications for Treatment Sawers, Larry Stillwaggon, Eileen Hertz, Tom http://aladinrc.wrlc.org:80/handle/1961/5007 2014-04-14T18:19:11Z 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z Cofactor Infections and HIV Epidemics in Developing Countries: Implications for Treatment Sawers, Larry; Stillwaggon, Eileen; Hertz, Tom This article shows that the burden of certain tropical disease infections, after controlling for other factors, is positively correlated with HIV prevalence. Using cross-national data and multivariate linear regression analysis, we investigate the determinants of HIV prevalence in low- and middle-income countries. We begin with social and economic variables used in other crossnational studies and then incorporate data on parasitic and infectious diseases endemic in poor populations, which are found to be strongly and significantly correlated with—and are potent predictors of—HIV prevalence. The paper concludes by arguing that treating tropical diseases may be a cost-effective addon to HIV prevention and treatment programs, thus slowing the spread of HIV in disease-burdened populations.

Uncertainty and unpredictability faced by low-income households increase their vulnerability making poverty even more unbearable. India's National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD)-initiated Self-Help Group (SHG) program, which is currently the largest and fastest growing microfinance program in the developing world, has been aggressively promoted as a way of combating poverty. This paper investigates whether or not SHG participation results in reducing poverty and vulnerability. A theoretical framework is developed to examine the mechanisms through which the pecuniary and non-pecuniary effects of the SHG program on the beneficiaries' earnings and empowerment, influence their households' ability to manage risk. Going beyond the traditional poverty estimates, we use a vulnerability measure which quantifies the welfare loss associated with poverty as well as different types of risks like aggregate and idiosyncratic risks. Applying this measure to an Indian panel survey data for 2000 and 2003, we find that SHG members have lower vulnerability as compared to a group of non-SHG (control) members. Furthermore, we find that the poverty contributes to about 80 percent of the vulnerability faced by the household followed by aggregate risk.

Kevin Mirallas scored a terrific solo goal as Everton condemned Stoke City to a sixth straight away defeat in the Premier League.
There appeared little danger when the Belgian midfielder collected the ball in his own half after Tim Howard had punched away a Stoke free-kick, but Mirallas had other ideas.
He managed to give Steven N'Zonzi the slip before turning the backtracking Geoff Cameron inside out and lifting the ball beyond Asmir Begovic on 27 minutes as the goalkeeper sped off his line.
Stoke had chances in the second period to rescue a point, but could not come up with the equaliser they needed to ease their own concerns as they continue to hover above the relegation spots.
Tony Pulis's side are 13th in the table with 34 points from 31 games, but have played one game more than 17th-placed Wigan and Aston Villa in 18th spot, who are both on 30 points from their 30 games.
Everton have no such concerns, and remain well in the frame for a European spot.
David Moyes's men are sixth in the table, but are only six points behind third-placed Tottenham with Arsenal two points clear of them in fifth spot and Chelsea four points above them in fourth spot.
Everton have now won three successive home Premier League matches for the first time this season.
But it might have been different if Jon Walters had not hit the underside of the bar on three minutes after Robert Huth's header from Ryan Shotton's long throw-in was halted by the agility of Tim Howard in the home goal.
Huth was guilty of squandering an obvious chance on 54 minutes when his free header somehow eluded the home goal from Glenn Whelan's free-kick.
Shotton then saw his header fly past a post from five yards out after Sylvain Distin could not clear a Marc Wilson cross.
Cameron Jerome walloped an effort over from Shotton's backheel on 74 minutes with substitute Charlie Adam seeing Howard repel his free-kick with the last breath of the match.
Everton's best moments came courtesy of the delightful crossing of Leighton Baines in the first period as the England man produced three superb crosses with Nikica Jelavic denied by Huth, Begovic and his own finishing before Mirallas struck what proved to be the winner.
Jelavic had a few chances in the second period, but Everton clung on for dear life.
It was not on the scale of their impressive 2-0 win over Manchester City a fortnight ago, but it may prove to be just as effective in their battle to finish in the top four.
Kevin Mirallas (Everton) - A fine performance from the Belgian player. And an even better goal. Worked hard and was giving a rousing reception before he hobbled off with a leg knock 10 minutes from time.
Everton: Howard 7, Baines 7, Coleman 7, Distin 7, Heitinga 7, Jagielka 7, Gibson 7, Mirallas 8, Osman 7, Anichebe 7, Jelavic 7.subs: Barkley 6

However, it remains to be seen when building work will proceed, given the state of the property market.
Dublin City Council attached a series of conditions to its ruling, including a requirement that detailed drawings of the interface between the new buildings and existing structures be submitted for approval.
CIE has received permission to construct offices, 106 apartments and a hotel.
However, the company has said it would not go ahead unless the market improves.
It has been given a 10-year planning permission. CIE is expected to source private sector funding for the project.
It plans to demolish its central train control, maintenance shed and other office buildings.
These would be replaced by an 81,538sqm mixed-use commercial, community and residential development on a 3.2 hectare site.
In total, 13 new buildings, ranging in height from two to seven storeys, are to be built on an area currently occupied by offices and a car park.
Provision is also made for some 106 apartments, with three one-bedroom, 81 two-bedroom and 22 three-bedroom units, to be built in four blocks. A 110-bedroom hotel is planned for above Connolly Station. Seven blocks will take up over 50,000sqm of office space.
A new street through the site, linking Seville Place and Sheriff Street Lower, is also to be built. Provision for 550 underground car parking spaces, four coach spaces and 260 cycling bays are included in the plans.
CIE believes the site will be popular when there is an upturn in the property market. The National Transport Authority (NTA) supports the plan.
But the NTA stressed the need to provide a "high quality, safe and convenient pedestrian linkage" between the development site and the facilities offered by Connolly Station.
The Dublin Docklands Development Authority has also welcomed the plans.
But it said the proposal "does not have a readily identifiable civic open space, which could act as a focal point for the comprehensive redevelopment of the subject lands".

I'm an Atheist. Why should I believe in a god? Which god? and why?

As a former athiest, I will tell you what I had found. I assume you are highly intelligent for chooseing athiesm and not a doctrine presented. I looked to philosophy. An great athiest, Jean-Paul Sartre. Existentialism is Humanism.
link to www.marxists.org
"But there is another sense of the word, of which the fundamental meaning is this: Man is all the time outside of himself: it is in projecting and losing himself beyond himself that he makes man to exist; and, on the other hand, it is by pursuing transcendent aims that he himself is able to exist. Since man is thus self-surpassing, and can grasp objects only in relation to his self-surpassing, he is himself the heart and center of his transcendence. There is no other universe except the human universe, the universe of human subjectivity. This relation of transcendence as constitutive of man (not in the sense that God is transcendent, but in the sense of self-surpassing) with subjectivity (in such a sense that man is not shut up in himself but forever present in a human universe) – it is this that we call existential humanism. This is humanism, because we remind man that there is no legislator but himself; that he himself, thus abandoned, must decide for himself; also because we show that it is not by turning back upon himself, but always by seeking, beyond himself, an aim which is one of liberation or of some particular realisation, that man can realize himself as truly human.
But this was the beginning.
From there I went to science. Quantums physics. Entaglement, decoherance. Ultimatly I found "God". It is not what people tell you. You wont know untill you put the effort in to find it. But if you feel a force with in, tearing everything down, it is a humbling to seek the truth.
This course took me years to come to the conclussion. I went through horrors of war, and self distruction to understand that the world, and everything in it is designed to become self aware of the source of you. Nothing else.
Keep seasching, and disrgard everything beyond yourself. Your intuition is your guide. Christians call it the holy ghost, I call it the entagled energy of life interacting with your quantum mind. It all comes from the Sun, and is dispersed through all life, originating from one point beyond time and consciousness.
Anonymous Coward 25196431
Could I extrapolate this to say that you believe God exists in all of us and is not an omnipotent being who will ultimately "judge" us? Is our "God" the pineal gland and DMT?

I called to make a claim 8am 3/28/2008. I told them my hot water heater is leaking. The nice lady gave me a work # and a number to call in a half hour. I called, the nice plumber came out and found indeed my water heater was done. He called NHP and they told him, I was not a member covered by their warranty (even though I have the copy of my 375$ cleared check endorsed with the National Home Protection Inc stamp) and on top of that they said they do NOT cover water heaters!!! , even though the e-mail from them states ".
MAJOR SYSTEMS COVERAGE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU. Plumbing System Plumbing Stoppages Air Conditioning Electrical System

I corrected him that I had paid for his service, and he demanded proof and thought I was pulling a fast one on him, I wasn't in the "system". I wondered, how did I get a work order number, if I'm not in your system!!! Maybe HE was mistaken. I asked for his name, and he told me "John Doe", I told him to cut the S*** and tell me his real name, at this time he told me to F*** OFF and hung up the phone. I was blown away!!! I've never been talked to like that. I went back, checked my records and sure enough they cashed my check 11/28/2007 and it is 3/28/2008 today, so I'm sure I should have been covered. Regardless, I have tennents that need hot water. If I'm not covered, then give me back my money with interest, since you held my cash for no service for 4 monthes for no reason, since no I have to pay my plumber for the work. This company is a fraud and they are cocky as hell about it too. Who on earth talks to their customers (or potencial) customers like that. And now that I think of it, I first got the warranty the year before, I never received my 50$ Home Depot card.

Instructor: William Gibson
This course examines the costs and benefits of manned and unmanned space exploration. We address the question of the economic and scientific opportunities afforded by space exploration, and the trade-offs involved with social programs on Earth. The central focus of the course is on the public policy question of the proper relationship between NASA as a government agency and the emerging private launch industry. Students will be introduced to a range of basic economic tools and concepts, such as opportunity costs, cost-benefit analysis, and public goods. The course will cover space vehicle technology, an introduction to orbital mechanics, and cutting-edge technologies such as carbon nanotube space elevators, scam jets, and solar sails. The Russian space program, successes and failures, is covered in some detail.
Requirements Satisfied: Social Sciences and Writing and Information Literacy
Instructor: Richard Sicotte
Students will investigate key economic aspects of globalization: trade, migration and finance. We begin by surveying the size, direction and composition of international trade flows. We will consider the economic basis for such flows, and discuss which individuals likely gain or lose (on net) from trade. We will also study major international trade agreements, including the World Trade Organization, the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Next we study the flows of legal and illegal migration around the world, with a special focus on flows to the United States. We will analyze the causes of migration to the U.S., and its consequences for native-born U.S. workers. Our study of international finance will begin with a detailed examination of the balance of payments, which is the account of all of the international transactions of a country's citizens, businesses, and governments. The balance of payments concept is crucial to explain a country's exchange rate, trade balance, and international debt, each of which feature prominently in the media and in political debates. We carefully study each. We conclude the course with a brief overview of the economics of international environmental challenges, especially climate change.
Requirements Satisfied: Social Sciences, Writing and Information Literacy, and (D2) Non-European Cultures
Instructor: Catalina Vizcarra
Why is Latin America a relatively poor region in spite of its abundant natural resources? Why does the region have the most unequal distribution of income in the world, and why are there so many Hispanic immigrants in the United States? In this course we will discuss whether the roots of Latin America's relative underdevelopment lie in its colonial experience, in subsequent foreign intervention, or in misguided domestic economic policies. We will also learn about the benefits and challenges that the most recent wave of globalization poses to the more than 500 million Latin Americans. In the process of addressing these questions, students will be introduced to a number of economic theories central to the analysis of the development process.

The Boston Athletic Association is proud to support the following organizations through its Official Charity Program for the Boston Marathon:
At the Boston Athletic Association, we invest in the communities where we live and work. Through our Official Charity Program, we provide invitational entries to the Boston Marathon to select non-profit organizations. Organizations use these entries to recruit individual runners who pledge to raise funds for their cause.
For selection into our Official Charity Program, the Boston Athletic Association greatly values organizations that strengthen our local community and align with our mission of promoting a healthy lifestyle through sports, especially running.
Organizations must meet the following criteria to be considered:
Organizations that meet our program criteria and are interested in applying for our Official Charity Program may submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) to Nicole Devlin, Manager of Charity & Community Partnerships, at firstname.lastname@example.com. There are no deadlines for submission and all LOIs will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. A LOI should be no more than one page in length and should not be submitted by an organization more than once per calendar year.
If an organization is invited to submit a full application after review of their LOI, that organization will be notified within two weeks of LOI submission. All applications will be submitted to our Charity Committee for review at its annual meeting taking place in August. To be considered for the subsequent year's program, an application must be received by July 31st so it can receive proper review. Organizations accepted into our program will be notified shortly after this committee meeting.
An annual review process for all members of our Official Charity Program will determine their future status with the program.
