Okay here are the details. It was a lazy December Sunday, and I just got out of bed when I turned on my computer and went to facebook. I saw this guy in my grade that I barely talked to, John, had his status update set to "Any one want to buy my acoustic guitar?" so I sent him a message. More or less, it ends up he decided to sell his guitar to a guitar shop instead, and he needed some one to go to the guitar shop with him. I hopped on a bus and went to his house, and then we took the bus to the guitar store downtown. We both ended up buying new guitars. When we were walking around he'd always be high fiving me, and saying 'you know everyone that sees us walking down the street thinks we're going out?' and I ended up taking him to a number of guitar shops and he got like 150 dollars off his guitar because of me, so he was all "oh my god, you have no idea how much I love you right now!!" (In a joking way, trust me, I could tell, not serious) it was later that night that I decided that I liked him. Its sounds weird as I had only started talking to him that morning but he just had a personality that made me feel like I had known him my whole life. I thought he kind of liked me too ? ish So we go back to school Monday. He doesn?t talk to me. A week later he and his friend are writing music for this years school play (thus why he needed a new guitar) and I just happen to be part of the play. So I was sitting reading my lines, and while him and his friends were setting up their Amps and everything, his friends and him are talking about Johns new guitar and he says "yeah Ali picked it out!" turns to me "hey how?s your new epiphone treating you?" from there on the rest of the drama rehearsal, we're joking about guitars and all the fun and inside jokes we had that day running around on the bus and everything. I had renewed hope that he might like me. Next day at school, he doesn?t talk to me. He doesn?t talk to me for the rest of the week. And the mere idea that he may like me is lost. What you have to know is that this guy is popular. So, what I didn?t understand was on the last day of classes before winter break he went way out his way, even breaking the school rules to come talk to me. I was in my wood shop class, and John was in band. I was doing a puzzle (construction teacher was out, so the sub didn?t care what we did) when I feel a tap on my shoulder ?hey? I hear a raspy voice say in my left ear. John. He sits down beside me and we are talking. Apparently he ditched and came to hang out with me in wood shop. And the hope that he just might like me returns. Winter break. We?re having numerous conversations on MSN and facebook chat. He keeps on sending me songs he likes, because I wanted some new music for my new iPod. He keeps on telling me ?oh you should come jam with me some time? and ?we should go back down to 16th ave and we can get some new parts for your new guitar and I?ll fix it up for you ? (we bought our guitars at a second hand vintage shop) and We?ve had many debates on who is the greatest The Who and The Doors fan. Fun and playful. So generally he goes for the rocker chic girl. Which is me, I guess. I mean I wear skinnies and play guitar and hate pop music and preppy people. But I don?t know! He keeps on talking to me, and when he does it feels like to him I?m the only person in the world. But then he doesn?t talk to me at all. He?s (as far as I know) not a player or anything. Since the start of this year he?s had two girlfriends. But I don?t know if he likes me as a friend, more then a friend, an acquaintance. I'm 14 he?s 15 and we?re in grade nine. Sorry this is like stupid long, just ugggghhh. I hate not knowing. Whats your advice? Should I just move on and accept that we'll never go out, or should I stick in there? (more...)

Alright First off this is going to be a long one so sit tight boys and girls, the more information I give the better you will be able to help me out. Alright now for the story. Alright so in November I met this really cool chick at the movies we hit it off and she gave me her celly phone number and myspace, oh btw we are both 17. We talk on myspace every night and we talked on the phone every night for about 30 minutes to an hour, it was great. Then one day in december when we were talking on myspace I was going to ask her out, but she ended up beating me to it and asked me out. It was awsome on our date we went downtown for 7 hours, then we went to see a movie. The whole time we were with each other we were flirting on and off, and in the movies she gave me a lot of long looks which I saw from my preferials. When I drove her home that night she gave me a huge hug, thanked me for everything, and told me to call her again so we can hang out again sometime soon. Our date was 17 days ago... So every week after that I tried to set up a date with her, but she has been busy. We still maintained our phone talks and all, but on the second week of trying to set up a date with her she stopped calling me and I began calling her more. Then shes stopped calling me totally and I began calling her all the time. Thats when she began not returning my phone calls, and she would only return them if i said something like "alright fine just ignore me..." Then I checked her myspace status and on it she always says she is either angry, pissed, or sad. So I do not know if her emotions are messing with our relationship although we are not officially dating. Point is she seemed very eager to hang out with me again after our first date, and I've been eager to hang out with her. Except for some reason she keeps putting me off and not returning my phone calls. In the past she has told me when we used to talk often that if I can't reach her by phone reach her on her myspace, and infact thats how we set up our first date. So should I ask her out again, this time on myspace, or should I just leave her alone and forget about this whole thing? (more...)

About 60 educators, church members, students and community leaders held a news conference and protest across the street from the Home Depot at the corner of Lincoln Drive and 21st Street. On Dec. 23 through 25, according to witnesses, U.S. Border Patrol agents in unmarked vehicles arrested and detained at least five day laborers as they waited on the sidewalk to solicit work. Natalie Alvarez, a member of the Centro Cristiano Agape Church in Rialto, said she was delivering food to the workers the morning of Dec. 24. She said she was praying with a large group of day laborers when a plain-clothes agent arrived and detained a man who was standing by himself. Luis Enrique, a 25-year-old day laborer who did not want to give his last name because he is an illegal immigrant, said he saw a fellow worker picked up by the Border Patrol. "We're living in a state of fear," said Luis, a Mexican immigrant who came to the United States eight years ago. "We're not criminals. We're just here to work to feed our families." Border Patrol agents working out of the agency's Riverside office performed the arrests as part of their routine activities, said Richard Velez, an El Centro-based Border Patrol spokesman. "It's nothing out of the ordinary," said Velez. "It's part of the daily duties of Border Patrol agents as mandated by Congress. Our mission is to secure the nation from terrorists, alien smugglers as well as violators of drug laws." Velez said he did not have details of the arrests. Emilio Amaya, who runs a nonprofit that provides assistance to individuals detained by immigration authorities, said he has been able to confirm the names of five people who were detained. It's possible others were arrested, he said. The five detainees are from Mexico and Central America, he said. Some voluntarily returned to their home countries while others are being held at a federal detention facility in Lancaster, he said. Amaya also criticized the Border Patrol for placing agents at the Greyhound Bus Station in downtown San Bernardino. Agents question passengers about their immigration status when they arrive at the station. Latinos are treated differently than other riders, according to Amaya. "Latinos are asked to stay on the bus while the others can get off. It's racial profiling," Amaya said. Velez said the Border Patrol does not engage in any kind of racial profiling. "The Border Patrol does not target any type of race or gender," Velez said. "The Border Patrol has a mandate to do their job. In the case of the bus stop, it's only a casual conversation. An agent approaches somebody and talks to the person. They ask, `How are you doing? Where are you going?' As the conversation develops, the agent can develop reasonable suspicions and take it from there." Velez said there is a history of illegal immigrants using Greyhound buses to travel within the United States. "Public transportation hubs will be used by smugglers to move illegal immigrants into the country. That's why we do it," Velez said. Organizers of the protest say they plan to have observers in front of Home Depot over the next week to prevent additional arrests. "Officials do this because they don't think anybody is watching," said Suzanne Foster, executive director of the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center, also known as the Pomona Day Labor Center. "In all my years, I have never seen such an aggressive and hostile raid during Christmas time. We're concerned it separated families on one of the holiest days of the year." http://www.sbsun.com/news/ci_11345787 (more...)

Go here to see the map of the United States carved up like a Christmas Goose! http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123051100709638419.html WALL STREET JOURNAL Monday, December 29, 2008 DECEMBER 29, 2008 As if Things Weren't Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S. In Moscow, Igor Panarin's Forecasts Are All the Rage; America 'Disintegrates' in 2010Article MOSCOW -- For a decade, Russian academic Igor Panarin has been predicting the U.S. will fall apart in 2010. For most of that time, he admits, few took his argument -- that an economic and moral collapse will trigger a civil war and the eventual breakup of the U.S. -- very seriously. Now he's found an eager audience: Russian state media. Igor Panarin In recent weeks, he's been interviewed as much as twice a day about his predictions. "It's a record," says Prof. Panarin. "But I think the attention is going to grow even stronger." Prof. Panarin, 50 years old, is not a fringe figure. A former KGB analyst, he is dean of the Russian Foreign Ministry's academy for future diplomats. He is invited to Kremlin receptions, lectures students, publishes books, and appears in the media as an expert on U.S.-Russia relations. But it's his bleak forecast for the U.S. that is music to the ears of the Kremlin, which in recent years has blamed Washington for everything from instability in the Middle East to the global financial crisis. Mr. Panarin's views also fit neatly with the Kremlin's narrative that Russia is returning to its rightful place on the world stage after the weakness of the 1990s, when many feared that the country would go economically and politically bankrupt and break into separate territories. A polite and cheerful man with a buzz cut, Mr. Panarin insists he does not dislike Americans. But he warns that the outlook for them is dire. "There's a 55-45% chance right now that disintegration will occur," he says. "One could rejoice in that process," he adds, poker-faced. "But if we're talking reasonably, it's not the best scenario -- for Russia." Though Russia would become more powerful on the global stage, he says, its economy would suffer because it currently depends heavily on the dollar and on trade with the U.S. Mr. Panarin posits, in brief, that mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation will trigger a civil war next fall and the collapse of the dollar. Around the end of June 2010, or early July, he says, the U.S. will break into six pieces -- with Alaska reverting to Russian control. In addition to increasing coverage in state media, which are tightly controlled by the Kremlin, Mr. Panarin's ideas are now being widely discussed among local experts. He presented his theory at a recent roundtable discussion at the Foreign Ministry. The country's top international relations school has hosted him as a keynote speaker. During an appearance on the state TV channel Rossiya, the station cut between his comments and TV footage of lines at soup kitchens and crowds of homeless people in the U.S. The professor has also been featured on the Kremlin's English-language propaganda channel, Russia Today. Mr. Panarin's apocalyptic vision "reflects a very pronounced degree of anti-Americanism in Russia today," says Vladimir Pozner, a prominent TV journalist in Russia. "It's much stronger than it was in the Soviet Union." Mr. Pozner and other Russian commentators and experts on the U.S. dismiss Mr. Panarin's predictions. "Crazy ideas are not usually discussed by serious people," says Sergei Rogov, director of the government-run Institute for U.S. and Canadian Studies, who thinks Mr. Panarin's theories don't hold water. Mr. Panarin's résumé includes many years in the Soviet KGB, an experience shared by other top Russian officials. His office, in downtown Moscow, shows his national pride, with pennants on the wall bearing the emblem of the FSB, the KGB's successor agency. It is also full of statuettes of eagles; a double-headed eagle was the symbol of czarist Russia. The professor says he began his career in the KGB in 1976. In post-Soviet Russia, he got a doctorate in political science, studied U.S. economics, and worked for FAPSI, then the Russian equivalent of the U.S. National Security Agency. He says he did strategy forecasts for then-President Boris Yeltsin, adding that the details are "classified." In September 1998, he attended a conference in Linz, Austria, devoted to information warfare, the use of data to get an edge over a rival. It was there, in front of 400 fellow delegates, that he first presented his theory about the collapse of the U.S. in 2010. "When I pushed the button on my computer and the map of the United States disintegrated, hundreds of people cried out in surprise," he remembers. He says most in the audience were skeptical. "They didn't believe me." At the end of the presentation, he says many delegates asked him to autograph copies of the map showing a dismember Putin has publicly said, "The world will go to war over natural resouces." Mexico held a summit in 2007 with Russia, China, Japan, Canada, Korea... And America was not invited. Perhaps they discussed divvying up the United States then. (more...)

I understand that the United States Congress needs to pass laws with more teeth and provide funding for both the United States Securities & Exchange Commission and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (ie. baby toys). That said the U.S. SEC is ineffective, per example of Sarbanes-Oxley, most Series 7 Licensed Brokers (Citi Smith Barney), etc. have told me that because the rules are so vague Sarbanes-Oxley passed by Congress in the wake of Enron is a joke. I believe that someone whom steals US$5000 from a petty cash box (and I think the amount is actually just above $500, for grand theft, can get 20 years in jail, while U.S. investors are legally manipulated as consumers we always want a larger return. I am tired of being in a global economy that does not respect U.S. investors, yet they list on our stock exchange. I would love to know why Philippine Long Distance (PLDT) (NYSE: PHI) (PSE: TEL) is allowed to list on the NYSE and even recommended by 2008 Wall Street Journal's Smart Money magazine which failed basic due diligence as the Chairman of PLDT has not been on the Wharton Board of Overseers for years which was a major selling point for many people. It seems that this Manuel Pangilinan and the Salim Group (beneficial owners of PLDT) should be checked out and suspended from the NYSE? Philippine Stock Exchange, Inc. ("PSE" or the "Exchange") is a private organization that provides and ensures a fair, efficient, transparent and orderly market for the buying and selling of securities. PSE traces its roots from the country's two former bourses: the Manila Stock Exchange ("MSE") and the Makati Stock Exchange ("MkSE"). Founded in March 1927, the MSE was the first stock exchange in the Philippines and one of the oldest in Asia. Originally housed in downtown Manila, the MSE moved to Pasig City in 1992. The MkSE, on the other hand, was established in May 1963 and became the second bourse to operate in the country. It was based in Makati City, a budding business district during those days. While trading the same listed issues, MSE and MkSE remained separate entities for almost thirty years. December 23, 1992 marked a milestone for the Philippine capital market when the MSE and MkSE were unified to become the PSE. At present, PSE maintains two trading floors -- one in Makati City and another in its head office in Pasig City. Even with two trading floors, PSE maintains a "one-price, one-market" Exchange through the MakTrade System. This is a single-order-book system that tallies all orders into one computer and ensures that these orders match with the best bid/best offer regardless of which floor the orders were placed. MakTrade likewise allows PSE to facilitate the trading of securities in a broker-to-broker market through automatic order and trade routing and confirmation. It also keeps an eye on any irregularity in the transactions with its market regulation and surveillance databases. In June 1998, the Securities and Exchange Commission conferred to the PSE the status of a Self-Regulatory Organization, which allows the PSE to implement its own rules and impose penalties on erring trading participants and listed companies. In 2001, or a year after the Securities Regulation Code of 2000 was enacted, the PSE was reorganized and transformed from a non-stock, member-governed organization into a shareholder-based, revenue-generating corporation. Along with this rebirth came the separation of the Exchange's ownership and trading rights, opening the doors for new market participants. On December 15, 2003, PSE shares were listed by way of introduction. The Philippine Central Depository, established in March 1995, provides the securities settlement system for both debt and equity instruments of the Exchange. Its computerized book-entry-settlement system paved the way for a safe and efficient scripless trading. Assuming the role of settlement coordinator and risk manager for broker transactions as well as administrator of the trade guaranty fund is the Securities Clearing Corporation of the Philippines ("SCCP"). SCCP is the clearing and settlement agency for depository eligible trades in the Exchange. Companies are listed in the PSE on the First Board, Second Board or the Small and Medium Enterprises Board. To help the investing public keep track faster of industry performance, listed companies are classified into the following sectors: Financial, Industrial, Holding Firms, Property, Services, and Mining and Oil. More importantly, PSE has adopted an online daily disclosure system to improve the transparency of listed companies and ensure full, fair, timely and accurate disclosure of material information from all listed companies. To address public demand for speedy access to information on the securities market, the PSE's website, www.pse.com.ph, provides comprehensive market data, stock quotations, dividend declarations, trading activities, and other pertinent information on the PSE, tradin (more...)

We won our HUD home in an auction on November 24th. It is now almost January and we do not know what is going on. I understand that HUD homes can take up to 60 days, but we have to be out of our apartment on Monday. Someone at the title company told us the 29th as a tentative date to close on the home. Well, it is now the 31st and the title company won't even talk to us. They wouldn't even talk to the realtor. He called and emailed 5 people at the company and only got an email from them saying that they never told us the 29th. I have left a message and emailed the woman in charge of our closing and still no response. We were told that our deal is in scheduling. We are also paying cash for this house so there is no loan to worry about. I think it is totally unprofessional that this company will not return our phone calls or emails. We want answers and are ready to actually go downtown and pay them a visit in person so they have to talk to us. Do we have any rights in this situation? We are totally understanding of the fact that this takes longer being a HUD home and that it's the holidays, but I think we should at least have an explanation of how much longer it may take. We absolutely have to be out of our apartment on Monday! Edit: we did not terminate our lease on the assumption that we would have our house. Our lease happened to be ending on January 1st, and we had to sign something 60 days before that saying we wanted to leave. At that time we had another house already purchased which burned down a week after we bought it. Our apartment management is allowing us to stay until the 5th, but then someone else is moving in and we need to be out. The circumstances of our living situation were out of our control. (more...)

Arabs and fake egyptians you guys need to get laid!! Jailan Halawi listens to engineer Mohamed Saber minutes before a state security court convicts him of espionage and sentences him to 25 years behind bars Mohamed Saber On Monday, entrances to the Downtown Cairo court house of Bab Al-Khalq were barricaded, and anyone wanting to enter the building had to run the gamut of security personnel. Policemen checked our identities before we made it to the corridors, and then again before admission to the courtroom itself. Dozens of reporters and photographers were already crammed into the room. They were there to record any and every move made by Mohamed Sayed Saber behind the bars of the dock. The trial of Saber, a nuclear engineer at Egypt's state-run Atomic Power Agency (EAPA), has been underway for the past two months in a state security court. He is charged with passing documents relating to Inshas, the site of one of Egypt's nuclear reactors, to foreign agents believed to be working for the Israeli Intelligence Agency Mossad, for which he allegedly received $17,000. Since his trial opened in April, Saber has spent much of his time in court smiling and waving at photographers. His responses have been variously interpreted as a failure to comprehend the gravity of his situation or else a manifestation of anxiety. Those attending the session as they waited for the three-judge panel to deliver its verdict expressed little sympathy for the man in the dock -- he had, after all, expressed his admiration for Israel on several occasions -- though his devastated parents, who throughout the trial maintained that their son was innocent, were treated more kindly. "I am innocent," Saber told Al-Ahram Weekly. "I was the one that reported to the Egyptian authorities that someone was trying to recruit me. [The trial] is the state's way of investigating what I reported and my innocence will be proven." Saber is reported to have said under questioning that he at one point considered emigrating to Israel, applying to the Israeli Embassy in Cairo. When asked why by the court, he said he believed that living in Israel was the only way he could progress with his research. "I don't need Israel to help me," Saber said on the day of his judgement. "I am already successful. Expressing my admiration for [Israeli] research methods is not treason." At 11am the three-judge panel entered the court to announce the sentence. Saber and his two alleged accomplices -- an Irishman identified as Brian Peter and a Japanese named Shiro Izo -- were found guilty and given life sentences. The two foreigners had been tried in absentia and their whereabouts remain unknown. Saber remained silent throughout the ruling. "This is an unfair sentence and we will contest it the moment the court issues its explanation of the ruling," said one of Saber's lawyers. In earlier court sessions Saber had admitted taking the documents from his work place but said they had already been published and were not classified. Saber is also reported to have provided his co-defendants with general information on the High Dam, uranium enrichment and Egypt's plans for a new nuclear reactor. The defendant told the court he had met the two foreign defendants several times in Hong Kong before he began to suspect they might be working for Israel. "I became convinced after the fourth meeting that I was dealing with parties working for a foreign intelligence apparatus," he said, adding that he then informed an Egyptian General Intelligence official in Saudi Arabia about his suspicions. The official, identified as Ahmed Bahaaeddin, subsequently told investigators he believed Saber contacted him only after he began to worry that his espionage for Israel would be revealed. Ali Islam, head of the EAPA, said Saber stole confidential reports from the agency and passed them to Mossad. It was an act, said Islam, that could harm Egypt's political and economic interests. Islam testified that Saber obtained the confidential and classified documents illegally and kept them for 10 years. He added that in 1999 Saber was transferred to another department after attempting to "meddle" in the running of a nuclear reactor. Saber was arrested on 18 February at the Cairo International Airport as he returned from Hong Kong. In the indictment released by the attorney-general in April, Saber and his co-defendants were accused of seeking to obtain information about Egypt's nuclear energy programme with the aim of passing such information to Israel. Saber is also accused of hacking into the computer database of the Ministry of Power and Electricity. Saber also told the court his contacts had at one point promised to give him a special communication device to plant in the EAPA and the Egyptian official he contacted in Saudi Arabia had advised him to collect the device and return with it to Egypt. According to security sources, Saber visited the Israeli Emb (more...)
