ESPN Says Packers Are Franchise of the Decade
ESPN is ranking stuff again! Here they are to tell us who the best franchise in all of sports is. It's not the Green Bay Packers. But the Green Bay Packers still made the cover of their stupid magazine.

League Experts: Packers Are No. 1
The NFL's analysts/experts have picked the Green Bay Packers as the top team in the NFL. Normally, we'd ignore such nonsense, but this is a little different. Hit the story to see why.

Packers Atop ESPN Power Rankings
The Green Bay Packers sit atop ESPN's preseason power rankings, which is very important because that team always goes on to win the Super Bowl. Check out where the rest of the losers in the NFC North came in.

ESPN Determines What We Already Knew: Packers Best Sports Franchise
ESPN The Magazine's annual Best In Sports issue, which will hit the newsstands on Friday, has determined what we long knew to be true — the Green Bay Packers are the best franchise in sports. That's right, not the NFL, but all of sports. How did they arrive at the obvious, you ask? The rankings […]

Fox Sports Ranks Packers No. 1 NFL Organization
Fox Sports' Adam Schein compiled his third annual NFL organization rankings and not surprisingly, the Green Bay Packers came out on top, dethroning two-time winner, the New England Patriots. What does this mean? Probably not much, other than the Packers rate highly in several subjective categories. While the categories used to determine the rankings — […]

Ranking The Packers Blogs
This probably isn't going to be what you think. I'm not going to sit here and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of all the Green Bay Packers blogs out there. Recently, Cheesehead TV did a list of the top 15 Packers blogs, doing precisely that. We made the list, which was nice. Of course, on […]

Where Do the Packers Fit In?
Wildly inconsistent. That's one way you could describe the 2009 Green Bay Packers. Here are some others – undisciplined, young, lacking in leadership, lacking in poise, a talented but incomplete team, frustrating, not ready to take it to the next level, immature… I could go on, but please, feel free to add your own.

Global X FTSE Greece 20ETF (
) -- the only U.S.-traded ETF tracking the Mediterranean country
-- soared 5.47% Wednesday to 19.49, an 11-week high.
The gain came after a five-day holiday stock market break in
observance of Easter and May Day.
National Bank of Greece (
), weighted 7% in the ETF, led gains in the portfolio. It vaulted
18% to 1.19 in more-than-double average volume.
Low-priced stocks, however, are very volatile especially when
they trade deeply below their 200-day moving average as NBG does.
NBG shares have cratered 98% from their 2007 high and traded as
low as 61 cents a share in April.
Shareholders of Greece's largest lender approved in late April
a recapitalization plan to allow it to remain privately run.
"We've had a rebound in the banks in Greece because the worst
was priced in," Wojtek Zarzycki, chief investment officer at
Optimal Investing, based in Toronto with $150 million in assets
under management, said in an email. "Now that we've bounced back,
we should see more selling when bad news hits the wires."
Morgan Stanley strategists are recommending investors buy
Greek government bonds. They believe they offer an attractive
risk-to-reward given that their prices dropped 20% from their
January high. Yields on benchmark 10-year bonds fell below 10%
this month as fears over the Europe's debt crisis eased. Greek
10-year yields soared to 30% last year before the country's debt
"It is one of only a few fixed-income instruments that offer
double-digit total return... in the current yield-strapped
environment," Morgan Stanley's economists and credit strategists
wrote in a client note April 4. They also believe bond prices
will rise in a second restructuring.
Greece's economy will contract 4% this year after shrinking
6.4% last year, Morgan Stanley forecasts. They see no economic
growth in 2014 but are more bullish than most analysts.
"A recovery hasn't started yet, but data are becoming less
bad, as the shocks that hit the Greek economy -- including euro
exit worries -- are starting to dissipate, and bank deposit flows
now look fully stabilized," they wrote.
Global X FTSE Greece 20 ETF most heavily weights consumer
staples at nearly 25% of assets. That's followed by consumer
discretionary 20%, financials 15%, telecom 10%, energy 10%, basic
materials 8%, utilities 5%, industrials 4%, aluminum 4% and
transportation 1%.
GREK gained 7.92% year to date whileiShares MSCI EAFE Index
Fund (
), tracking foreign developed markets, climbed 11.19%. But in the
past 12 months, GREK rallied 37.25% vs. 20.96% for EFA.
GREK appears to be forming a bullish cup-without-handle chart
pattern with a potential buying point at 20.41. It trades above
both its 50- and 200-day moving averages, indicating a strong
It carries an IBD Relative Strength Rating of 84 on a scale of
1 to 99. That shows its price performance has outpaced 84% of the
market in the past 12 months. Its B- IBD
Accumulation/Distribution Rating shows institutional investors
are heavily buying more shares than selling. This goes to show
the stock market looks ahead and bull markets climb a "wall of
worry." GREK may be pricing in an economic recovery that's yet to
be seen in the fundamentals.

Illinois House Republicans want to avoid a repeat of 2011 – and even 1997.
They want to make the lame duck a political endangered species by passing a constitutional amendment – which the General Assembly would have to agree to put before the state's voters – that would move inauguration up a month, to December. That's significant, because bills in the last seven months of the calendar year require a supermajority to pass.
The legislature, with the help of several outgoing lawmakers, passed an increase in the state income tax in January of 2011, hours before the new group was sworn in. That increase is scheduled to expire after this year, setting up what House Minority Leader Jim Durkin (R-Western Springs) says would be "the mother of all lame duck sessions."
Durkin says he's guilty himself. When Republicans led the House in 1995 and 1996, the lame-duck bills of January 1997 included the death of straight-party voting.

HCAC does not like to see people die or become disabled because they cannot afford to get needed health care or, all too often, go bankrupt when they do. Our current system is not working well.

Universal health care is on the ballot in Colorado because people recognize that insurer profits are made by denying care. Don't let the insurance industry scare you into voting against your own interests.
By Dave Anderson | Boulder (Colo.) Weekly
Recently, some 500,000 people around the country suddenly lost their health insurance as 10 of 23 nonprofit health care cooperatives collapsed. Some 80,000 Coloradans were left in the lurch when Colorado HealthOP collapsed. Nearly 40 percent of the people who purchased health insurance through the Colorado state exchange in 2015 were members of that co-op. Several more co-ops in other states may close soon.

It was refreshing to read the article in The Camera about "Changes in Colorado's health insurance market," (Daily Camera, Jan. 16) especially so because it was written by Marguerite Salazar, our state's insurance commissioner.

The beginning of the new year seems a logical time to review the Affordable Care Act and to speculate on its future. In 2014, we saw the start of the exchanges and Medicaid expansion, the end of Vermont's attempt to expand coverage beyond the ACA, and continued legal challenges aimed at killing the ACA piecemeal. What do all these portend for 2015?
By Donna Smith | Common Dreams
Remember Liz Fowler? She was the WellPoint executive who took a brief sabbatical from her direct paychecks from the private health insurance industry to write the Affordable Care Act while working for Senator Max Baucus. Once that project was wrapped up, Liz went to work briefly for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as she transitioned her way back to work as a lobbyist for health industry giant Johnson & Johnson.
By Rochelle Dworet, M.D. | Health Policy Solutions
So the Affordable Care Act is finally being implemented, even online. Our state has its own exchange, which seems to run better than the national model. The people in the states that implemented their own exchanges are all busy heaping accolades on each other. However, the real question is, "Where is the single-payer solution that would save hundreds of millions of dollars and lives?"

In Denver and Fort Collins, activists with Health Care for All Colorado (HCAC) have just hosted 48th birthday celebrations for Medicare, the highly successful program that has provided comprehensive low-cost health care for older people and the disabled since 1965. HCAC wants a similar publicly funded "single payer" system for all Americans.

DENVER -- Efforts toward universal health care in Colorado were highlighted over the weekend at an event in Denver, part of a push to establish a constitutional right to health care in the state.
By Peter Marcus | The Colorado Statesman
Proponents of a universal health care system in Colorado are expected to kick off a ballot drive Saturday that would establish a state constitutional right to health care.
By Thomas Gottlieb, M.D. | Health Policy Solutions (Colo.)
Coloradans need health care. It's a basic human right. Yet as we get more information about Colorado's new health insurance exchange, it seems less certain that people will get the health care they need.

During this month there have been two editorials, one written by the Coloradoan's editorial board, and one by a spokesperson for a relatively new organization, Colorado Health Care Cooperative. Both writers are in support of a proposed cooperative health plan. The plan, which has yet to go before the state Senate, would result in savings and be run by a private board of directors.

It isn't often anymore that I learn a new word in the health care system discussion, but this week I did. Churning.

Over the years, I have witnessed a new condition, not covered in any of my medical school lectures or textbooks, that is at epidemic proportions and worsening. The condition is caused by an out-of-control parasite -- the for-profit medical insurance industry.
By Chris Gibbar | Letters, The Coloradoan
Medicare is less expensive to administer than private programs. Yet this wildly popular program is under attack. The Democratic Obama administration has offered to cut tens of billions of dollars from Medicare and Medicaid, and Republicans in Congress are making serious attempts to privatize not only Medicare but Social Security. Both parties are failing the American people.
Ann Molison | Letters | The Coloradoan
Rep. Cory Gardner wants us to have vouchers to pay for our health care. This would end Medicare as we know it and would decrease the quality of medicine for everyone. I propose we do something that would save money, provide health care for everyone and create a more competitive opportunity for all businesses, especially small businesses and those in the manufacturing sector.
By Kathryn Corazzelli | Summit (Colo.) Daily News
The reason Dr. Margaret Flowers works full-time to advocate a universal, single-payer health care model, she told a packed room Thursday, is because she wasn't able to provide the quality of care she wanted to as a pediatrician. Flowers said she was pressured to see more patients in less time, and had to compromise her integrity by not being fully honest to insurance companies about patient problems.
By NCBR staff | Northern Colorado Business Report
Even as a bill that would create health insurance exchanges for Colorado is set for a crucial vote on Wednesday morning, Margaret Flowers, M.D., is bringing the case for a single-payer health care system to the state.

Health care activist Roya Brown views health care as a basic human right. Drawn first to Health Care for All Colorado, Brown recently founded Young HCAC, whose mission is to "get young people involved in educating, mobilizing and agitating ... to get mad about what is going on."
Doug Whitman, M.D. | The Coloradoan, Jan. 3, 2011
In the United States, we do have the finest nurses, physicians and technology in the world. The system, however, is far from the finest. Each year in the United States, the system drives 700,000 families to bankruptcy from medical bills (the majority of whom have medical insurance). Every year, the system leaves 50 million people uninsured. Every year, the system allows 45,000 people to die from lack of access to basic medical care.
By Dr. Howie Wolf | Daily Camera (Boulder, Colo.)
As a family physician that has practiced in Boulder County for 48 years, I feel our inadequate health care system is significantly closer to a "tipping point" than in 2006. I see more patients who are uninsured or underinsured, many due to layoffs in our sluggish economy and the inability of business owners to continue paying exorbitant costs to provide employees with health care benefits.
Kathlene S. Waller, M.D. | Fort Collins Coloradoan, May 6, 2010

Proponents of a national health plan are disappointed that bills that emerged last year from the U.S. Senate and House didn't include a national health plan.

T.R. Reid is uncharacteristically angry. He's angry the richest country in the world cannot provide efficient, affordable health care to all its residents. He's angry the World Health Organization ranks the U.S. 37th for the cost, quality and coverage of its health-care system.
By Louis Balizet, M.D.
"Everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it." So said Will Rogers about the weather, but he may as well have been referring to our health care system -- roundly decried, but still intact. Finally, however, on both state and national levels, well designed plans have emerged to replace our current wasteful chaotic system with the only workable alternative -- a single-payer, tax-financed system that eliminates private health insurance, provides universal coverage, and introduces adult supervision (centralized planning). Like the majority of American physicians, I feel that "medicare for all" is long overdue.
By Tom Linnell, EdD | The Coloradoan
I am starting to see why all of us - liberals, conservatives and independents - might really like single-payer health insurance.
by Michele Swenson | Board Member, Health Care for All Colorado
Five proposals were selected to be evaluated by the Lewin Group, including an additional proposal written by a subcommittee of the Commission. The Colorado Health Services Single Payer Proposal is the only reform proposal that demonstrated any savings for the state -- $1.4 billion -- and also the only one capable of providing comprehensive health care for all. The Colorado Commission chose to base most of its recommendations on its own (5th) Proposal.
Steve Pomerance | The Daily Camera
The single-payer approach provides savings from eliminating unnecessary costs that will help to cover the increased level of basic care that currently is simply not provided, so the final societal bill may not increase dramatically, and may even be reduced.
Janet K. Seeley, M.D., Ph.D | The Coloradoan
The single-payer proposal for Colorado health care reform solves the problem of multiple risk pools and reduces administrative costs by setting up a publicly financed trust fund. Yes, public financing means state health care taxes, but they are more than offset by the savings in current state and federal taxes for public programs, insurance premiums, high copays, deductibles and many out-of-pocket health expenses. For most of us, that would be less expensive than what we spend today.
BY KEVIN DUGGAN | The Coloradoan
"Private, for-profit health insurance served its purpose in the early part of the 20th century, but it is obsolete for the 21st century," said Dr. Kathy Waller, of Fort Collins.
By David Montero | Rocky Mountain News
There may be five proposals being considered to reform health care in Colorado, but only one seemed to satisfy most of the 150 gathered at the Millennium Hotel on Thursday night. That proposal was the so- called single-payer system.
By Kathy Waller | The Coloradoan
Let's repeat that for emphasis. The single-payer plan will provide coverage for everyone and save more than a billion dollars for Colorado taxpayers. The other plans cost millions of dollars and still leave hundreds of thousands of people uninsured.

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is designed for young people aged 15 to 25 whose families are living in poverty and who wish to start a new business or improve an existing business. As part of its Youth Entrepreneurship program, Fundación Paraguaya's staff members offer mentorship, as well as training courses and workshops in finance and business administration. Borrowers also receive standard benefits like health coverage and life insurance. This type of loan is not offered by most other financial institutions in Paraguay. Young borrowers are often considered to be too risky because they lack prior credit history or business experience.
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Image Source Jason Puracal, with wife Scarleth and son Jabu.
Last November, when Janis Puracal heard that her older brother had been arrested in Nicaragua, the 32-year-old civil litgator working in downtown Seattle got on the next flight to the Central American country.
Image Source Jason Puracal, with wife Scarleth and son Jabu.
"I thought we'd get him and bring him home," she says.
But that's not what happened. After a long wait and a lengthy trial, Jason Puracal was convicted in August of money laundering, drug trafficking, and organized crime. On Tuesday, he was sentenced to 22 years in prison. His family and friends, Congressman Adam Smith, and former FBI agent Steve Moore are all insistent that the charges against Puracal are groundless.
So why is he in prison?
Puracal grew up in Tacoma and attended UW. After graduating with degrees in economics and zoology, he was intent on a career as a veterinarian. To gain real-world experience, he applied to the Peace Corps, with the hopes of being placed in Africa. Instead, he was assigned to Nicaragua, where he moved in 2002.
After completing his service the following year, Puracal moved to San Juan del Sur, a fast-developing beach town in the southwest of the country known for its surfing and hot housing market for wealthy expats. Along with three other Americans, he opened a RE/MAX office, and went to work as a real-estate agent. Not long thereafter, Puracal met Scarleth Flores, a beautiful local with a big smile. They married, and four years ago had a boy, Jabu, who was born with Down Syndrome.
Last year, Puracal--with his long hair, tattoos, and flashy car--was featured as a realtor on the HGTV show House Hunters International, which follows wealthy North Americans searching for their perfect piece of real estate in exotic locations. (To the family's dismay, the network continued to air the program long after his arrest.)
Everything changed on November 11, 2010. That night, Nicaraguan police, wearing masks and carrying AK-47s, raided Puracal's office. They seized his computers and files and placed him under arrest. The officers then proceeded to his house, where his wife, son, and 65-year-old mother--a Puget Sound-area physician who was in town for a visit--were asleep. After a six-hour search of the house, which his lawyers claim uncovered nothing illegal, Puracal was thrown in prison, where he has remained ever since.
Before his trial, Brandi Kruse of 97.3 KIRO FM traveled to Nicaragua and interviewed Puracal in prison. He comes off as articulate, and heartbroken that his wife, deprived of his income, is not able to afford the special education that is essential to maximizing young Jabu's mental capabilities.
"This case is delaying his development," Puracal told Kruse, tears in his eyes. "And there's no way to make up for that."
Puracal's trial was presided over by 27-year-old Kriguer Alberto Artola Narvaez, whom Puracal's lawyers claim is not a licensed attorney, meaning that his judgeship is a violation of Nicaraguan law. This was Narvaez's first case.
As Puracal's legal team lays out in the document below, the case against him is extremely threadbare, and only gets thinner upon closer examination. For instance, a trip to Costa Rica, allegedly to oversee his criminal operations, could also be explained by his going to pick up his mother from a conference there--a version of events that she was not able to offer, as she was not allowed to testify.
Despite extensive searches of his property, no drugs were offered as evidence against Puracal, and no witnesses linked him to drug trafficking. After their initial searches turned up nothing, cops used a VaporTracer, a machine used to detect trace levels of drugs and explosives, which purportedly showed a 70 percent trace of cocaine on Puracal. On cross-examination, the police officer explaining how the VaporTracer is used couldn't say what a 70 percent positive test result actually means.
JasonP Synopsis and Exhibits 09.09.11
As Puracal told Kruse before the trial, in a sentiment echoed by Congressman Smith and former FBI agent Moore, "They're accusing me of international drug trafficking without any drugs. They're accusing me of money laundering without any money. They're accusing me of organized crime, with the other 10 people that are charged in this case, when I don't know any of the other 10."
The trial was a study in frustration for Puracal's lawyers, who objected so frequently that the prosecution asked that their very objections be stricken from the record. On August 29, Narvaez found Puracal and his 10 co-defendants guilty. This week, he handed down Puracal's 22-year sentence.
The maximum-security prison where Puracal is housed, says his sister, is dilapidated and overcrowded, infested with vermin and ticks, has live electrical wires hanging from the walls, has contaminated water, and is filled with screaming and noise. Purucal has been beaten by guards and denied food and water for days at a time, his sister says.
"It is hell on earth," she says.
Assuming her brother is innocent, what made him a target?
"When it first happened, we were trying to figure out why," she says. At first, they they thought it might be part of a government land-grab. But Puracal doesn't own much property--just a house in town and his share of the RE/MAX office. And none of his business partners were implicated.
"Another possibility is that this is a political case," Janis Puracal says. That certainly makes sense in the case of co-defendant Robert Nunez, who was running a momentum-grabbing campaign for mayor of San Juan del Sur against the ruling Sandinista party candidate. But as Puracal denies ever having met Nunez, his arrest makes little sense in such a context.
There's the possibility that the leftist Sandinistas, who have had their share of problems with the United States, decided to take an American to hold as a pawn in a high-stakes game of chess.
The last American accused of a headline-grabbing crime in Nicaragua, Eric Volz, a surfer and real-estate agent whose girlfriend was raped and murdered in 2005, in the same town where Puracal lives, had his conviction overturned on appeal after pressure from the U.S. State Department. He was spirited out of the country amid concerns that he was being followed.
In his KIRO interview, Puracal puts forward the theory that his appearance and perceived lifestyle at the time of his arrest--his long hair, tattoos, and the fancy car he drove to impress clients--led the police to assume he must be involved in the drugs trade.
The bottom line is that no one knows why Puracal was arrested. Of course, it's also possible that he's guilty--though the evidence against him seems scant at best.
Whatever the reasons, Puracal's legal team is now preparing for his appeal, and his family is trying to compel the Obama administration, and Clinton's State Department, to intervene.
To that end, Janis Puracal is planning a rally for Jason on Sunday--the same day that President Obama will be in town. They'll be gathering at 8:30 a.m. at Fifth and Pine, and will march to the Paramount, where the president is scheduled to speak later that morning, in the hopes of getting his attention. Everyone, says Janis Puracal, is welcome to attend.

An accurate simulation of "The Hunger Games". You're a tribute, fighting intelligent AI in a "battle royal" to be the last person standing. Inspired by the novels by Suzanne Collins and the movies by Lionsgate Films. This is a turned based combat game in 1st person perspective, with Roguelike elements. The randomly generated arenas feature a central "Cornucopia" filled with melee and ranged weapons along with food and other gear, surrounded by wilderness in which one can hide or forage. You may form alliances with the other tributes, and backstab or be backstabbed by your allies. In the preview image (from a special "Audience" standpoint) you can see the semicircle of 24 tributes on their platforms, the central golden Cornucopia, gear in front of and within it, and surrounding forest containing mountains and waterways. "May the odds be ever in your favor!" :)
The "burning desert" arena new to version 2.5. To play in it press Shift+F2 then enter "D" for the arena type. Don't bump into the cactus plants unless you want to take damage!

quick one.
This re design is amazing, great job.
The outfit matches her origins and actually feels like amazon wear. As well as removing nothing from the original design. I feel this outfit is a vast improvement over her main attire.
Love how you draw the girls.Awesome.
sexiest Wonder Woman i've ever seen!
Awesome work here
Tight design
Good, good!
Amazing work on this one! The concept for the outfit definitely fits her Greek inspired background. This is definitely better (and i mean this in all honesty) better than her new outfit. Putting a leather jacket and pants on someone does not constitute a new look...dammit!
love it
I like this even better than the new costume. This is how they should have fixed it.
I LIKES IT! Elegant and badass; we need more Wonder Woman art of her thick and curvy and actually strong looking; I really like your takes on the ladies of DC!
I think I like your skin tone her a lot; she actually LOOKS Greek for once.
I think I like your skin tone her a lot; she actually LOOKS Greek for once.
Perfect! Fitting design for a great character. Still maintaining who and what she is, as both Wonder Woman and a princess of the Amazons, she is well portrayed here. The clothing is very befitting of her. Though looking at her in the attire part of me wonders if she is more princess or warrior here, due to the maternal vibe I get from her, from this pic. Very well done. Keep up the good work!
I love the change. More amazon warrior and less patriotic go-go dancer
I am loving how she looks here!!! beautiful and powerful!!!
She looks fantastic!
Always preferred this sort of costume, with this dress instead of the usual panties.
Always preferred this sort of costume, with this dress instead of the usual panties.
awesome! I approve of this!
This take on WW looks so fitting.
Well done amazon design, the musculature is fitting of an amazon.
Is it me or is she looking a bit man type with masculine face? Otherwise, nice quick pic.
you must know some pretty men
I love it. She looks so STRAWONG. Great style

If we learned anything from 2012, it was that Republicans may glance at oddballs but, unlike right-wing pundits, don't think characters like Herman Cain can be president. They might date Newt Gingrich, but they don't settle down with him.
It isn't hard to separate the dates from the spouses in presidential primaries, though attention is now being given to a couple of terribly unserious candidates: Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who likens Edward Snowden to Martin Luther King Jr. and talks about containing a nuclear-armed Iran; and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who, like President Obama before him, has barely moved into his freshman office and so far is interested only in rhetoric, not in legislative accomplishment.
There are 10 signs that tell voters this one is not the one:
1. The candidate votes "no" on everything.
2. The candidate becomes the victim of the mainstream media.
3. The candidate is responsible for nothing and is not obliged to offer alternatives.
4. The candidate confuses talk with accomplishment and derides accomplishment as "selling out."
5. The candidate considers legislative compromise and executive deal-making sins.
6. The candidate can dish it out and make up some weird stuff but takes great offense when his own words are used against him.
7. The candidate denounces "business as usual" — but claiming to be the outsider and denouncing any compromise have pretty much been business as usual recently.
8. The candidate feigns intellectual sophistication but isn't very adept at policy and misreads most of what he cites as authority on a given subject.
9. The candidate considers actual people to be an afterthought; they take a back seat to abstract principles.
10. The candidate name-calls but doesn't make arguments on the merits.

'WELL, Mrs Warren, I cannot see that you have any particular cause for uneasiness, nor do I understand why I, whose time is of some value, should interfere in the matter. I really have other things to engage me.' So spoke Sherlock Holmes, and turned back to the great scrap-book in which he was arranging and indexing some of his recent material.
But the landlady had the pertinacity, and also the cunning, of her sex. She held her ground firmly.
'You arranged an affair for a lodger of mine last year,' she said--'Mr Fairdale Hobbs.'
'Ah, yes--a simple matter.'
'But he would never cease talking of it--your kindness, sir, and the way in which you brought light into the darkness. I remembered his words when I was in doubt and darkness myself. I know you could if you only would.'
Holmes was accessible upon the side of flattery, and also, to do him justice, upon the side of kindliness. The two forces made him lay down his gum-brush with a sigh of resignation and push back his chair.
'Well, well, Mrs Warren, let us hear about it, then. You don't object to tobacco, I take it? Thank you, Watson--the matches! You are uneasy, as I understand, because your new lodger remains in his rooms and you cannot see him. Why, bless you, Mrs Warren, if I were your lodger you often would not see me for weeks on end.'
'No doubt, sir; but this is different. It frightens me, Mr Holmes. I can't sleep for fright. To hear his quick step moving here and moving there from early morning to late at night, and yet never to catch so much as a glimpse of him--it's more than I can stand. My husband is as nervous

It did look a little suspicious: After serving a year in Iraq, Fort Lewis Army Capt. Michael Nguyen returned home and began putting money in the bank - lots of it: $387,550, all cash. Hoping the IRS didn't notice, he limited each deposit to less than $10,000 as he went from bank to bank in the Portland area.
Ten thousand here, ten thousand there, soon we're talking real money
It's their job, so the IRS did notice. They began an investigation. And the other day Nguyen went off to prison for 30 months.
Where'd he get the cash? Wad by wad, he filched it from U.S. taxpayers, he admitted. From April 2007 through June 2008 as battalion civil affairs officer in Muqdadiyah, Nguyen was in charge of a cash flow of millions intended for distribution to Iraqi humanitarian relief agencies, to finance rebuilding projects and for security services.Almost daily, Nguyen peeled currency from the bundled stacks and stuffed it into boxes, then sent it home to Beaverton, ultimately amassing $696,750. No one missed it in Iraq, where as much as $13 billion in aid has been stolen or wasted.
According to U.S. District Court documents in Portland, Nguyen spent the taxpayer funds on a 2008 BMW M3, a 2009 Hummer H3T and numerous items of personal property including computers, electronics and furniture valued at more than $200,000.
The U.S. was able to recover about half-a-million-dollars in assets including a $300,000 cash stash in Nguyen's attic. When he gets out in 2012, his restitution tab will be around $200,000. He should undergo mental health evaluation as well, a judge ordered. First question: What the hell were you thinking, captain?

The weather in Marbella is renowned for its fantastic micro climate and in general the Costa del Sol (Coast of Sunshine) gets 320 days of sunshine a year!!
Given Marbella's close proximity to the African Coastline it's unsurprising that in the summer the temperatures soar - July and August are seriously hot with temperatures in Marbella hovering around the 30ºC, and if you head inland then can reach heats of 40º C.
Even in the winter months whilst the rest of Europe are battling off the likes of wind, rain and snow it is often a very different story in Marbella, which can enjoy an average of 22 days of sunshine each January. Marbella does see the occasional bout of rain in winter which can put a dampener on your holiday but don't let it put you off as it doesn't last for very long.
(feels like
Cloud Cover
Visibility km | 0 mls
Wind Conditions km/h | 0 mph
High (°C | °F)
Low (°C |°F)
What to wear
If you are coming to Marbella between May and September then there really are only a few key items that you need to pack - bikini's/ swimming costumes/ trunks, shorts, dresses and flip flops! By July and August it's too hot to even contemplate thinking about anything else, especially jeans.
If you're visiting during the low season - between October and March then it's advisable to pack some warmer items including a light coat. During January and February even if the sun shines it can get windy and there's often a chill in the air.
Don't forget however that Marbella has some fantastic shops and boutiques, so if you forget to pack something you're sure to find all you need when you get here and not all at great expense.
What to do while you are here
There are a huge range of attractions and things to do in Marbella while you are on holiday - whether it's just to relax on one of the gorgeous beaches or take the kids and wear them out with many activities. For the party animals visiting the coast, one of the beach clubs like Sala Beach, Nikki Beach or Ocean Club are where you want to head during the day while at night there are many bars and clubs to choose from, some of which have open air terraces like TIBU or Pangea.
After too much sun your skin can feel tight and sore but don't worry there are some fabulous salons in Marbella offering relaxing, rejuvenating treatments so you look pampered and preened (and less like a lobster!) for those party nights.
Marbella weather in winter can vary quite a lot, but it does rain on the coast even until March. Don't be put off by visiting in the winter though as there are still some great things to do when it rains including bowling, shopping centres in Marbella or Malaga and museums. Alternatively, if it's raining in Marbella, the chances are it's snowing in Sierra Nevada so head up there and enjoy a few days skiing or snowboarding!
