Mom and I had a big party for the Memorial Day weekend. The two of us did all of the work as Dad is on yet another business trip right now, but I'm sure he was with us in spirit. Several of our relatives showed up, and it was certainly lots of fun. The gathering was actually almost canceled, so I'm glad things worked out in the end.
For some reason, my maternal grandfather had become extremely upset earlier in the day. I'm not sure what set him off, but he was madder than a wet hen. All of our guests were relatives and close friends of my grandparents, so Mom and I were afraid they'd no longer be in the mood to come. Had this been the case, all the effort my mother put into preparing the food would have been wasted, not to mention that the entire evening would be ruined.
Much to our relief, Grandpa cheered up shortly before the party began, and everyone had a great time. Old people can be so fickle. Seriously.

The Missouri Department of Higher Education announced a new initiative Oct. 12 designed to increase the odds of students graduating in two years with an associate of arts degree from community colleges and a bachelor's degree in four years if they attend a state university.
The "15 to Finish" initiative encourages all students to take a course load of 15 credit hours each semester as part of the program, according to State Fair Community College President Dr. JoAnna Anderson, who was in attendance at the launch of the program in Springfield last Wednesday.
Anderson, Dr. Brent Bates, vice president for educational student support services, and Dr. Amanda Herwatic, director of Student Success and Retention, were pleased with the status of SFCC's students in the initiative.
"There are a number of components in the program," Anderson said. "Fortunately we (SFCC) are already doing a number of these.
"The major portions of the initiative are to set completion goals, to develop action plans and to collect and report the common completion data," she added. "Our Navigators program, which we began in 2014, has played a major role in seeing our students succeed toward graduation in two years."
The Missouri Department of Education is working with a national nonprofit organization, Complete College America, to help colleges across the state with their degree programs.
The organization estimates that less than one-third of students in Missouri schools are taking 15 credit hours every semester, according to information provided by Anderson from the meeting.
"'15 to Finish' is one of the game changers of the larger Complete College America (CCA) initiative that is focused on significantly increasing the number of adults with college degrees and/or workplace credentials," Anderson said. "Data shows that students who complete 30 credits in an academic year are significantly more likely to complete a college degree.
"The longer students are in college the less likely they are to finish," she added. "So '15 to Finish' is a good initiative and one I support."
Anderson stated that high school dual-credit courses, summer classes and online courses can help students meet the goal of 30 credits in a year.
Twenty-nine percent of all students complete 30 credits per year; at two-year colleges the number drops to 14 percent.
"Students using the Missouri A+ scholarship are required to be enrolled full-time at a community college, which means taking a minimum of 12 credit hours a semester," Anderson said. "However for these students, the '15 to Finish' initiative makes great sense and can speed them toward a career or transfer degree in two years."
CCA also reported that nearly 60 percent of students are taking 12 hours a semester, which is the minimum to receive financial aid.
"Completing an associate's degree in two years is a great goal, but it can be challenging for those community college students who are working multiple jobs, raising families and dealing with life issues," Anderson said. "Those are some of the reasons we implemented the Navigator Advising Program in October 2014.
"Navigators provide students with college success strategies, help them develop a road map to degree completion, connect students to college and community resources, and are there to give students care and support," she added. "The Navigator Program has played a major role in helping SFCC make progress toward our big retention and graduation goals."

text: Hi all, copied a hard drive using parted magic. I believe i need to edit a boot.ini file? Or was that something for XP? been a while since i upgraded a hard drive so i dont remember exactly what i did last time. Only thing i seem to remember clearly was to NOT plug both drives in once i copied things as windows would have problems with two hard drives, one being the clone of another. So as far as i can tell, everything has been copied. Just need to know what i need to do so windows will actually boot off of it. Not counting changing the boot settings in the bios, which i already did to no effect. thanks

Marcus' Darkest Hour
Marcus, with no consideration to his own safety, jammed the Glock in his pocket and lunged forward.
The cable had snapped; Braun, Gallin and the rest of the cable had fallen down, just before the flat bit beside the control room. Marcus threw himself forwards and reached out to seize what he could of the cable car - but his hands missed the seat by inches, and he seized the joint instead. Blood welled up around his hand, but he pulled the lift, almost slipping down the steep slope himself, his ungainly ski boots having no grip on the terrain. Braun had fallen out a little way away, and he took up Mr. Gallin's recumbent form and gesticulated to Marcus: "Get up! We've got to get to the top..."
Like a flash out of Marcus' peripheral vision, a black wolf slunk out from beneath the trees. Marcus struggled like a newborn foal up the slope, seeing the curls of silver cable, the smell of blood and the whimpers of wolves in his nose and in his ears.
"Jessica!" His voice was strangled and desperate. Jessica appeared at the top, and immediately stooped to help Braun. Marcus struggled up the slope on his own, his heavy ski boots flailing against the snow...
Something grabbed him from behind. Marcus whirled round - and was faced by a big, black wolf.
It was his move first. He kicked, but the wolf had his trouser leg in its jaw. Marcus waved his arms at it, and the wolf leapt towards him.
Marcus threw all his weight into the push that he now gave the animal - as it flew towards him, he grabbed its muzzle and literally pushed it away. He was astounded at his own strength. The wolf crashed in the snow, and Marcus fumbled for the Glock. He found it, but the wolf came for him again.
It bounded up the slope, its lips frothing, its eyes alight with the fire of madness, as Marcus scrambled up the precipice. He aimed the gun, and, panicked, was just about to shoot - but it was upon him once more, snarling and drooling and biting -
Marcus grabbed the animal by the scruff of the neck. He had never wanted to hurt an animal, and never had; but this was different. The animal in question was trying to kill him. Marcus wrestled with the wolf, catching the odd scratch around his face, while the Glock lay, a black smear in the red-and-white snow, waiting.
I've got to get to that gun, thought Marcus. Then the battle will be won...
As he was having this thought, he wrestled the rabid wolf by pressing it against the snow and holding its neck, trying to throttle it, just like the psychopath always killed the protagonist in one of those crazy thriller films. The wolf was snarling and fighting back, and Marcus' thoughts were racing with panic as he watched those rabid jaws close to his face. He had to think...
But of course. He was doing this all wrong.
He was a human being. The wolf was a wolf.
What advantages does a human being have over a wolf?
We can stand up.
Marcus struggled to his feet. The wolf spat, snarled and snapped at him, writhing in his arms. Marcus could barely feel his muscles from the cold, but he raised the wolf above the ground with every ounce of strength he had, he threw the damned animal as far as he trusted it.
The wolf hit the snowy slope and skittered downwards.
Marcus searched for the Glock, and fell over. As he saw the wolf bounding towards him, his ski glove closed around the gun, and he raised it, pointing it at his adversary, and fired the last bullet in his life.

Kristne tilgivelsesterapeuter
An ideological position that supports the view that forgiveness is important and essential for healing is commonly taken by members of the counseling community who are Christians.
While these therapists acknowledge that forgiveness might not be appropriate or desirable for a client at a given point in time, their writing is oriented toward techniques and interventions that can be used by the counselor to aid clients to eventually attain the goal of forgiveness as the essential end point.
Terapeuter i mellomposisjon
Many of the middle position writers argue a theoretical perspective that emphasizes "contextual" factors as key predictors of when forgiveness will lead to healing. In other words, forgiveness may or may not lead to positive outcomes depending on aspects of the context or situation and, given that context, the meaning that forgiveness has for the potential forgiver.
The determining factor is whether the betrayed individual is freely choosing to forgive or feels obligated to do so "for the sake of family harmony, to placate others, to avoid personal distress or to submit to religious or cultural beliefs".
Skeptiske og kritiske terapeuter
Many who are skeptical or critical of the notion of forgiveness are therapists and counselors who work primarily with survivors of abuse and other severe injustices.
Several of the writers who are skeptical of forgiveness take a strong feminist position. Their commitment to social justice and gender equality leads them to a critical view on forgiveness because, they argue, forgiveness may potentially allow abuse to continue, revictimize the abused, and blame the victim while appearing to absolve the perpetrator who is often a man in cases of partner violence or childhood sexual abuse.

While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Mercury vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. Car aficionados appreciate the a variety of special features built into each Mercury, and know that only the highest quality repair Capri parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Anyone who operates a Mercury knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the absolute best replacement parts will do. When your Mercury Capri was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values long-lasting quality in their automobile.
The comfort of our rides today is the result of many different drive train and suspension inventions that have come about in the last 50 to 100 years. Without the CV axle shaft, our cars and SUVs could not have independent suspensions and the ride in your Mercury Capri would be much more harsh. The Mercury Capri CV axle shaft has special universal joints that allow the shaft to continue to rotate at the same speed even if the transmission or differential and wheel hub are at different heights. When CV axles malfunction it usually means that the wheel it was attached to will no longer receive input from the transmission.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you purchase the appropriate Mercury Capri part for your project or repair. Bring your Capri back to life with the highest quality new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Need 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979 Mercury Capri CV Axle Shaft parts? We've got them right here.

Social Trust and Civic Engagement across Time and Generations

This article uses long-term panel data on three generations of Americans to address several issues concerning the state of social trust and civic engagement and their inter-relationships. Social trust is indicated by the standard index and civic engagement by organizational involvement and volunteerism. We demonstrate that the decline in trust and engagement has been led by Generation X, rather than the Baby Boomers, who compare quite favorably with their predecessors, the highly lauded 'Long Civic Generation.' Baby Boomers do, however, have a more sporadic and short-lived record of civic engagement than the preceding generation. Both social trust and, especially, civic engagement are also subject to consequential life cycle effects that may be disguised in cross-sectional designs. The interdependence between social trust and civic engagement is evident as individuals age, though trust is more a cause than a consequence of civic engagement, and the link disappears for voluntary associations based upon exclusive identities.

Part One
I received a flyer in the mail. One of those "You have been chosen!" outfits. Naturally, I dropped it into the recycle pile, went through the rest of my mail.
Bill... junk... junk... junk... junk... someone I don't want to hear from... junk... coupons! Oh, nevermind, I don't shop there... magazine... junk. I flipped through the magazine, stopping at anything that caught my eye, reading until I reached the end or lost interest, eventually putting it down for further scrutiny later.
The flyer caught my eye again. I picked it up, purely out of curiosity and entirely suspicious of its motive.
"Do you remember playing Capture the Flag as a child? Were you the strategist who spotted all the mistakes your teammates made? Ever wanted to play it again, with more advanced rules, superior challenges, and greater rewards?"
I went through and counted the question marks and exclamation points. Too many; really rather sad. Only periods I could find were in the disclaimer, web address, and e-mail. Sighing, I flipped it over, back onto the recycle pile, so it wouldn't catch my eye again.
There was something small and apparently handwritten in one of the corners. I picked it up again and peered closely.
"Hi, Ace! I don't know if you remember me, but well, I thought you'd be interested in this. Technically I'm not supposed to send one of these to anybody I know, being on the Board of Supervisors, but since we've been out of touch for so long, I figured it wouldn't hurt.
"I look forward to seeing you. -JP"
I couldn't remember a JP.
Below the note was a serial number, so I visited the webpage.
This upcoming game would be the first outside of the research and testing period, the first open to public entries. It laid out a few simple guidelines and rules, that would be fleshed out during the preliminary round, provided I was an accepted applicant.
"Bring your own tools. You will be responsible for any fuel they require.
"No vehicles, automobiles, bicycles, etc. The game takes place in a moderate- to densely forested preserve with few man-made trails.
"Equipment is limited to what you and your teammate(s), if applicable, can carry, drag, pull, or push.
"The game contains 3 stages – Building and Preliminary, Elimination Round, and Championship Round.
"Accepted applicants will be provided a simple geographic survey of the land, and may request additional specific surveys at their discretion.
"Team sizes are limited to a maximum of seven. A minimum of two is recommended, though teams of one may be approved by a supervisory judge."
"Wow," I whispered to myself. The website and program appeared fully legitimate, so I signed up.
Name, address, phone number, e-mail address, emergency contact, date of birth (game targeted at ages 16 to 25), the whole nine yards. A decent length disclaimer followed, most of which I didn't read – just skimmed, knowing it was primarily a formality – and then there was a space for an initiation code. I entered in the serial number that the mysterious JP had sent me, then submitted the form.
I didn't expect anything to come of it, as nothing I'd entered into before had ever come to fruition. Naturally, I went on with my life, and quickly forgot about the incident.
Two weeks later:
Junk... junk... junk... bill... paycheck! I ripped it open, delighting at the numbers on the check – any money was good money – and set it carefully aside, away from the junk pile.
Junk... magazine... junk... donation request... Fortress Race acceptance card... more junk... another bill... wait, what?
I flipped back through the junk pile, and snatched out the card.
"Your application has been accepted for participation in the preliminary round of Fortress Race, our advanced version of your old favorite, Capture the Flag. The quality of your decisions in this preliminary round will determine your qualification in the game."
The card also provided a URL for the geographical survey, an email address from which I could request further information, and transportation information. The game would begin in two months time.
I signed on, found the survey, and further rules. Tools, capturing, surrendering, fortress regulations, weapons... Weapons? I scrolled back. In short, no guns or knives, cannot cause intentional injury to other players, and must be built during the game from materials found and available on the game property.
So slingshot was good, catapult and trebuchet were possible, traps were allowed.
I grabbed a notepad and started making a list.
1. Rope and rope making
2. Construction
3. Catapult and trebuchet
I glanced over at the map and survey. Mostly woods, a few small fields. People would probably go for tree houses, and maybe a large group would try a traditional fortress.
4. Tree house
I'd signed up without a team, so a standard fortress wouldn't work for me. Was there another option I could come up with?
5. Tunnels
I sent a request for elevation, water tables, and soil types, then sat back and pondered my list and the map.
Scattered patches of redwoods, three of them, about an acre apiece, stood out on the survey.
6. Tree-hollowing techniques
Lower slopes of a nearby mountain in one corner, and a snowmelt creek flowing out and along one border of the property.
7. Aqueduct/water transport (for offensive and defensive possibilities)
The additional surveys arrived within the hour. There was a note attached from the survey team.
"You must be JP's friend. Don't worry, your connection is safe. If you're thinking tunnels, you might want to check out the mountain slopes. Just a guess from your request. Good luck."
Indeed, there was a lot of potential in the mountain slopes. Large limestone deposits. They'd sounded for caverns, and had found them, but no large entrances. There once had been a mining town on the other side, but the information on their tunnels was unavailable. The barricaded entrances were off game property, and I could get disqualified if I was caught leaving. If I could find a way in, it would be excellent for a base, but was a little distant for what I had in mind.
8. Drills
The water table for the property was depressed this year – not enough rain and too much well usage had caused some damage – but the trees had deep, intricate root systems, and were holding up.
Hmm... this just might work.
The main camp was separated from the woods by a large field. Transporting anything across that during the second or third round would be potentially hazardous, I'd have to find a way around that; and having very visible tools could entirely give myself away.
So I worried and wondered, researched and reviewed, and studied, studied, studied. Finally, the day to leave arrived.
A van with a trailer would come to pick me up, then onto a train filled only with Fortress Race applicants. The depot was very nearly at the entrance to the property.

Your smile to me is haunting,
It isn't forced in any way,
Your natural laugh is taunting,
But I cannot fake a smirk today.
Your very presence is painful,
Your stare is piercing and deep,
And my hiding away is shameful,
But my defense is what I need to keep.
So even though my heart is burning,
I'll try so hard not to leave,
But when under the scrutiny of you always concerning,
It's no longer second nature to breathe.
So I'll grit my teeth,
And put up with the hell,
And bask in my envy--
Of how happiness suites you so well.

You know what pisses me off?
This stupid fucking video game.
:gun: http://www.godisageek.com/wp-content...2-uk-cover.jpg
Try playing online with this piece of shit. Their Ultimate Team mode is the biggest money grabbing piece of garbage I've ever played in my life. Not only is it damn near impossible to create your ultimate team due to the overpriced players, not only does it suck considering their packs are full of shit, the matches absolutely suck because not one person on the market plays it fairly. You either play:
A. a guy who freezes it when you start to kick their ass, resulting in you staring at the screen until you finally make the move to quit it and give him the coins.
B. Someone who keeps doing the same exact goal over and over again until your stomach turns. You know what goal I'm talking about.
C. Some asshole who starts controlling your own team somehow.
The irony about this? SO many people I've played on the web have done this on a number of occasions. People from ages 13-40 and not one, not ONE tutorial on how any of these hacks/glitches/whateveryoucallthem is found on the internet. NOT ONE. I spent $24 worth of Premium Gold Packs and the best player I got was Mikel Arteta. The funny part? The Premimum Packs are said to be over 80. Yet I'm getting fools like Wes Brown. Amazing how that works. You have cards with black attributes and not one of them go for shit. When you pay almost $2 a pack, they should make damn sure that they're freakin shiny cards.
I don't think I can take much more of this game before I finally throw my controller out the window. I've won THREE games online and have lost 26. Do you know how that makes me feel?

Simao still in Reds' thoughts
By Alex Livie
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Rick Parry has confirmed that Benfica star Simao Sabrosa is still in Liverpool's thoughts.
Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry has confirmed that Benfica star Simao Sabrosa is still in Rafa Benitez's thoughts.
The Portuguese winger has been a long-term target for Liverpool, with the Anfield giants having come close to landing Simao in the summer of 2005.
Benfica pulled the plug after he had passed a medical, but he has remained under the watchful gaze of Benitez for the last couple of seasons.
Simao has impressed once again this term and Benfica pulled off a notable coup in March as they persuaded the 27-year-old to sign a long-term deal.
Benfica confirmed last month that Simao's buy-out clause stands at é¼20,000,000 (£13.5million) and it would appear that this sum has not thrown Liverpool off the scent.
"Simao is certainly not forgotten," Parry told Portuguese daily O Jogo.
"We have not yet put any real thought into this, we have taken no decision, but we have not moved away from the hypothesis to come back and negotiate when the transfer window opens.
"Since our official bid for the player (August 2005), we have not had any more conversations with the club but, in the summer, we don't know if we will come back again."

FORT WORTH, TX - NOVEMBER 07: Kasey Kahne, driver of the #9 Budweiser Dodge, sits in his car prior to practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on November 7, 2009 in Fort Worth, Texas. (Photo by Robert Laberge/Getty Images for NASCAR)
Kasey Kahne has found his happy place -- at Hendrick Motorsports. After eight tumultuous seasons in NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series, Kahne, 32, has found stability behind the wheel of the No. 5 Chevrolet. Before the season began, the pairing of Kahne and the Hendrick juggernaut had pundits predicting that this team would be Chase-bound. Heck, some believed with the nucleus of Kahne's coaching staff intact (crew chief Kenny Francis and race engineer Keith Rodden accompanied the driver to Hendrick), this could be his year to sit at NASCAR's championship table in Las Vegas. However, after a challenging Speedweeks at Daytona, followed by a rash of wrecks and mechanical failures, Kahne and his crew have had to battle back after a season low of 32nd in the point standings to 12th following his second win of the season two weeks ago at New Hampshire. And with his second victory, Kahne jumped to the top of the wild-card standings. Afterward, instead of jetting off to a well-deserved retreat ...

The Onkyo TX-NR626 is a midrange 7.2-channel AV receiver from Onkyo's 2013 line-up, designed to offer a winning balance of value and performance. As per usual Onkyo has crammed it full of features – including a couple of intriguing firsts for an Onkyo amp – but with a price tag of around £500 it's still within the grasp of mere mortals.
The Onkyo TX-NR626's appearance sticks steadfastly to last year's blueprint, offering the same tasteful brushed black finish (also available in silver) and relatively compact bodywork.
AV receivers aren't really designed to catch the eye (unless they're made by Marantz) so the most you can ask is that they blend in discreetly – and the TX-NR626 does just that. All the electronics are housed within a rigid and robust aluminium casing.
Wisely, much of the front-panel clutter is hidden away within the grooves and ridges, so when you look from a distance you can hardly see the buttons, giving it a tidy, minimal look. What you can see, however, is the wide LED display, offering lots of helpful info about inputs, volume and processing modes, alongside a fat volume dial.
At the bottom of its front you'll find composite and analogue stereo inputs and a USB port, which allows you to play music from USB memory devices but sadly not iPods, iPhones or iPads.
On the back is a veritable feast of connections, headed up by six HDMI inputs that allow you to pass 3D and 4K signals through to your TV, and even upscale any source to 4K resolution, courtesy of Marvell's QDEO technology.
One of the inputs also supports Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), which allows you to view HD video from smartphones. Two outputs allow connection of two displays at once and they also support Audio Return Channel for easy audio hook-up of a compatible TV.
They're joined by three digital audio inputs (two coaxial and just one optical), five analogue stereo inputs and one phono in, component video input and output, four composite video inputs and one output, and two parallel subwoofer pre-outs.
Speaker and line-level outputs allow you to feed sound to a second room, while seven pairs of banana plug-compatible binding posts, Ethernet, Onkyo's Remote Interactive port and FM/AM aerial ports complete the line-up.

The sound is certainly good on mine, but I found it complicated and confusing to set up, and the Zone 2 feature is worthless.
When setting it up, I wanted to send my Mac's digital out to the PC channel on the amp, but it didn't work until I found both places where I needed to specify this. It gave me a great deal of flexibility, but at the cost of a very confusing setup.
As for Zone 2, I was very disappointed to discover that it only works with analog or "on board" sources. This means it doesn't work with any of my inputs, all of which are digital. So it's worthless. It works with "on board" sources, like the built-in Pandora support, but that's about it. Zone 2 is also very complicated to use. There's a complicated sequence of button presses to make changes to anything in zone 2, and the different sequences are inconsistent with each other. I even have to follow a specific sequence to change the volume in Zone 2 from my remote, even though the remote has 2 volume buttons! The instructions often tell you to hit the volume button on the remote, but never tells you which one. As far as I can figure out, one of them isn't used for anything.
On top of all that, the buttons on the exterior are labeled with very faint text that's impossible to read without a strong light. They probably wanted the text to be unobtrusive visually, but they took it a bit too far. I'm very disappointed.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - - The World Bank Tuesday forecast record declines in 2009 global output and trade as the economic crisis bites, and warned a slowdown in the developing world is pushing millions into poverty.
The global economy is expected to shrink by 1.7 percent in 2009, "the first decline in world output since World War II," the bank said in an outlook update released two days before world leaders meet in London to coordinate a global response to the crisis.
The sharp contraction marks a dramatic 2.6 point downward revision from the 0.9 percent growth in 2009 forecast only last November.
The update "reflects the rapid deterioration in financial and economic conditions -- and the increasingly negative interaction between weakening economies and fragile financial systems -- that have come to the fore since late 2008 for virtually every country in the world," the 185-nation development lender said.
Developing countries have been hit harder than anticipated in the global economic crisis and lack the means to withstand the onslaught.
Gross domestic product (GDP) growth in developing countries is expected to slow to 2.1 percent, less than half the November forecast of 4.4 percent, and sharply lower than 5.8 percent in 2008.
Recessions were projected in Europe and Central Asia (negative 2.0 percent), and Latin America and the Caribbean (negative 0.6 percent).
"The 2009 downturn in world GDP and trade is unprecedented," the Washington-based bank said.
World Bank president Robert Zoellick said the recession was expected to trap 53 million more people in poverty this year, defined as subsistence living on less than 1.25 dollars a day.
"This comes after soaring food and fuel prices of recent years, which pushed 130 to 155 million people into extreme poverty, many of whom have still not recovered," Zoellick said in a speech in London.
Poor people in developing countries have little buffer to protect them against the effects of the crisis.
"In London, Washington, and Paris people talk of bonuses or no bonuses. In parts of Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, the struggle is for food or no food," he said.
Zoellick called on the Group of 20 industrialized and developing countries and the European Union, whose leaders are holding a crisis meeting in London Thursday, to support measures to help developing countries, such as the bank's appeal to developed countries to donate 0.7 percent of their stimulus spending to its Vulnerability Fund.
"Unlike economic crises in the past sixty years, this is a global crisis. It will require a global solution," the former US trade envoy said.
"These events could next become a social and human crisis, with political implications," he added.
According to the latest GDP projections, high-income economies would shrink 2.9 percent this year, a notch more than the prior estimate of 2.8 percent.
Justin Lin, the World Bank's chief economist and a senior vice president, said that China and India would continue to fuel growth in the developing world.
"If you would take out China and India (there is) zero percent growth this year," Lin said at a background briefing Monday.
The Washington-based bank projected trade volumes would drop a record 6.1 percent from 2008, led by a steep decline in manufactured goods trade.
"This is the largest contraction in 80 years, that is since the Great Depression," Lin said.
Hans Timmer, manager of the bank's Global Trends, Development Prospects group, said a key risk for developing countries was a balance of payments crisis as once-abundant private capital inflows dry up.
The World Bank projected a financing gap for developing countries of up to 700 billion dollars. Eighty-four of 109 developing countries would face financing gaps, particularly in Europe and Central Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
A "modest" recovery in 2010 was possible but highly uncertain, the bank said.
"Continued banking problems or even new waves of tension in financial markets could lead to stagnation in global GDP or even to another year of decline in 2010."

I paid for 72 months on a 19,000 dollar loan of 463.30 per month. I paid over 33,000 dollars for my Honda. I understood that I was a financial risk, not do to error of my own. I understood but.... I was at about 2,000 dollar balance and offered a settlement payoff of 1200.00 and they accepted and sent a letter stating that if I paid that by the 31st of Oct ....well then they put stipulations on me the day before that it would have to be paid by debit card only. Well, I work out of town and when I told them then it would be Friday Nov 6th would I still have the same payoff / deal? The account manager Mya said she would check with her manager , Tim and he agreed. Now, during this week was when Triad was to be no more. Now Santander, and those people I was talking with, they say are no longer there. Santander wants and additional 401.00 because they say I didn't pay on the 31st. I was told by Mya that I would receive my title within 7 -10 days. Now here it is the end of November and I am getting collection calls daily from "Santander" wanting more money. They will not send my title until I pay this amount, that I do not have. I had to borrow the payoff amount from my father in law to make the deal.
The people are vague, wont give you extension numbers, last names of who you are speaking with, and they are rude. Threatening me with they can pick up my car if this isn't paid.
They called me during church this past Sunday. Thank goodness I had turned it off. I returned the call later to find this information out...........picking up my car ............well come on! I am livid. I hate this company and so does half of America and they should be put out of business.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 22, 2005, New Braunfels, Texas Page 2A — Herald-Zeitung — Sunday, May 22, 2005Attempts to change admissions rule stumble in Senate AUSTIN (AP)—An attempt to change the state's top IO percent university admissions law was dealt a major blow Saturday when the proposal Med in a Senate committee and a key lawmaker declared the issue dead for the session. The vote likely killed any chance of changing the law, which some state universities have said restricts their ability to recruit students, said Education Committee Chairwoman Florence Shapiro, R-Plano. The legislative session ends May 30. "Well, that's that for another two years,'' a frustrated Shapiro said after a 3-3 committee vote that kept. "It's dead. I wanted to keep it moving along so we could debate it on the floor." Approved in 1997, the law guarantees all students who graduate in the top IO percent of their classes admission to the public university of their choice. Supporters of the rule, many of them minority lawmakers, have championed it as a means of increasing minority enrollment at state universities. While the Senate has agreed to make those students take tougher courses to qualify, the House has voted to allow universities to accept only 50 percent of their freshman classes under the admissions rule.From staff, wire reports TEXASTEMPLE GATESVILLE OFFICER AMONG THOSE ARRAIGNED IN BANK ROBBERY - A police officer in the Central Texas town of Gatesville was one of three people arrested in connection with the September robbery of a bank. Wesley John Friedrich, 23, was arraigned Friday afternoon. The Gatesville patrol officer was fired the same day, said Gatesville Police Chief Nathan Gohlke. Gohlke said that he was surprised "to say the least" by Friedrich's arrest. Friedrich, an officer there since August 2004, was charged with being an accessory after the fact or knowing that the robbery occurred and assisting the alleged offenders. Friedrich's wife, 22-year-old Luisa Marie Friedrich, was also arraigned Friday before U.S. Magistrate Jeffrey C. Manske. A third defendant, Adam Christopher Edwards, was arraigned Thursday. Federal officials have charged Luisa Friedrich and Edwards with bank robbery. NATIONSEATTLE MARY KAY LETOURNEAU MARRIES FORMER STUDENT — Mary Kay Letourneau, whose notorious seduction of 12-year-old boy led to more than seven years in prison, has married the former student she was convicted of raping. Letourneau, 43, andVili Fualaau, 22, exchanged vows they had written themselves during a tightly guarded ceremony Friday night, said Janet Anilino, co-executive producer of the TV show "Entertainment Tonight." The couple have been in the spotlight since Letourneau was imprisoned in 1997. But when she was released last August, the couple — who have two daugh ters together — reunited. The ceremony was at the Columbia Winery in Woodinville, about 20 miles northeast of Seattle, Anilino said. "Mary Kay was whisked out of the hotel to this venue under intense security," she said. "She arrived here with a sheet over her head. She had to lie down in the car coming in to avoid the paparazzi." WORLDBAGHDAD, Iraq SUNNIS JOIN FORCES TO CREATE ORGANIZATION TO REPRESENT THE MINORITY — A thousand Sunnis assembled in the Iraqi capital Saturday and formed an alliance of religious, political and tribal groups to push for a stronger role in the country's Shiite-dominated power structure. With sectarian tension and violence on the rise, the new organization immediately called for the resignation of the interior minister, a Shiite whose office, it said, had a role in killing several Sunni clerics. Bayan Jabr, the minister, denied allegations government involvement in the killings and said he would not step down. "No one has the right to call for the resignation of a minister, only parliament can do that. Those who didn't get one vote have no right to ask," he said, referring to the fact that many Sunnis stayed away from Jan. 30 elections either in protest or fear of attacks. In violence Saturday, eight members of an elite Interior Ministry force known as tile Wolf Brigade were killed in a pre-dawn ambush on their 20-vehicle convoy in downtown Beiji, 155 miles north of Baghdad, police 1st Lt. Nadar Adil said. The Sunnis blame the Wolf Brigade, among other groups, in the killings of their clerics. Senate sends gay marriage ban to Texas voters AUSTIN (AP) — The Senate approved a proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriages in Texas on Saturday, sending the issue to voters to decide. If approved in a statewide vote in November, Texas would join 14 states that statutorily and constitutionally ban same-sex marriage. Massachusetts is the only state that allows such marriages, aJthougli Vermont and Connecticut have approved same-sex civil unions. State law already prohibits same-sex marriages. This amendment would define marriage as between one man and one woman. The I louse narrowly passed the proposal last month. "I believe we should protect the institution of marriage. We should hold that up higher than any other relationship," said Sen. Todd Staples, R-Palestine, the sponsor of the amendment. Senate Democrats had hoped to get enough votes to block the measure from being debated on the Senate floor, but three Democrats — Ken Armbrister of Victoria, Eddie Lucio of Brownsville and Frank Madia of San Antonio — all voted to bring the bill up, giving supporters the critical 21 -vote majority they needed. The bill ultimately passed by the same margin. In a little more than two hours of debate, Staples rejected arguments the amendment would discriminate against gays and lesbians and the estimated 43,000 same-sex couples in Texas. Sen.
