This may be a dumb question but I would like to ask or see if you could ask your readers since some may be lawyers.
I just read one of your links where an investor sued, and won, for the fraudulently packaged CDS derivatives ( http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/05/business/an-investment-wipeout-that-didnt-have-to-happen.html?source=patrick.net )
Here is my question: I bought a house in Florida in July 2005 for $300,000. I knew the housing prices were ridiculous but I did not realize or know they were actually false. Now, the Tax appraisers office values my home at $136,000 dollars! I was not buying the house as an investment and I got it appraised before I bought it – no one knew is was all a mirage that was constructed by the government, the banks and the NAR. Is there anyway home owners can pursue a class-action suit against the investment banks or the government or the entities that were responsible for creating this mirage and destroying many people's years of savings (I put $100,000 down of my saved up money – it is all gone now)? Please let me know or ask your audience – a fraud was perpetrated on the American public and there seems there should be some recourse for those who purchased a home between 2004 – 2006. It seems to me that home-buyers were victims of these CDS derivatives also – even more so than an investor because we were not trying to take on anything as risky as that.
Thank you for your answer or help,
Oviedo, Florida
Do any of the currently discussed settlements with the bank over foreclosure practices preclude a class action against the banks for fraud? Certainly they knowingly packaged bad loans into bonds.

Jason Giambi did it again last night. At 42 years old, he stepped up to the plate as a pinch hitter with a man on in the bottom of the ninth inning of a tie game one-run game—a game that his team desperately needed to win in order to keep its playoff hopes alive—channeled his violent and nervous energy through his…

I wouldn't say that Rick Reilly is inconsistent, exactly. Compare this 1991 column on Native American nicknames for sports teams to the one he published earlier this week, and you'll find lots of similarities. In both, for instance, he goes for the reductio ad absurdum of comparing all such nicknames to racial slurs,…
Jason Giambi gave the Indians a 3-2 win over the White Sox with this walk-off home run to deep center field. Giambi, 42, is apparently the oldest man in baseball to hit a walkoff home run, narrowly edging out Hank Aaron by 45 days.
Whenever a baseball player is interviewed on camera it's, like, a collectively-bargained rule that his teammates try to embarass him. Usually they put bubble gum on his hat or make weird faces behind him
The best part about this is that Greg Van Niel is not a ballhawk, that execrable subspecies who attend games solely for the purpose of collecting baseballs. Van Niel's just a regular fan, who happened to be sitting in the exact right spot to get four foul balls yesterday, all by the fifth inning.
Indians closer Chris Perez and his wife both face up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine because they like to smoke weed
The Cleveland Indians and Nick Swisher have created the Mannywood of Ohio and named it the Swishaliciously-perfect "Brohio." This is kind of like that time you heard someone's dad say he thought Juicy Fruit was "tubular" and you immediately stopped saying "tubular" and chewing Juicy Fruit.

A Cole County man accused of child abuse won't go on trial.
Court officials said they expect Chad Elliot to accept a plea agreement, but no details have been released.
Elliot is charged with two counts of child abuse.
Police said in June of 2012 that they found Elliot's girlfriend's son with a golf ball-sized knot on his forehead, a cut under his chin, red marks on his face and bruising on his arms and back.
A witness said the couple punished the 2-year-old for not listening.
This week, a judge set Elliot's sentencing for April 10th. The child's mother, Lexi Miller, is also charged with child abuse. She's set to be in court at the end of this month.

2009/6/5 Mark Hahn <hahn at mcmaster.ca>: > I'm not sure - is there some clear indication that one level of storage is > not good enough? That is well worthy of a debate. As the list knows, I am a fan of HSMs - for the very good reason of having good experience with them. There are still arguments made that 'front line tier = fast SCSI/fibrechannel disk' 'second line and lwoer tier = SATA' and the sales types say SATA is slower and less reliable. Mark, you make the very good point that the world is changing (or indeed has changed) and you should be looking at an infinitely expandable disk based setup - just add more disks into the slot, more JBODs, whatever. Actually, as a complete aside here I have been lookign at Virtual Tape Libraries. One of the Spectralogic models actually eats SATA drives just liek they are tapes - I'm now going to counter your argument - let's say we have an expensive parallel filestore such as Panasas. Or maybe Lustre. So your researchers work on a new project, and need new storage. But they have old projects lying around. They argue they might revisit them, they might need this data, someone might take on a PhD student to trawl through it, or you are in the movie business and your movie has premiered yet there is a directors cut scheduled for next year... OK, so you can add more Panasas. Cue salesman buying in a large bucket of glee to rub his hands in. I agree may argument holds less water with Lustre.

Can a Thunderbolt display switch between two computers?
If a Thunderbolt display is the primary display for a Mac Mini, is it possible for the display to switch to a MacBook Air? Without necessarily pulling the Thunderbolt connection from the Mac Mini? (Extra credit if this means the two machines could share the same USB-connected keyboard and mouse, via the same display?)
To the best of my knowledge, there aren't any Thunderbolt console switches yet. I'd prefer never to buy one.

1 Answer from the Community
The simplest solution may be to connect the mini using thunderbolt and then connect the pro to the display using FireWire, then use a screen share program. With this you should have full control of both computers on the one screen using the mouse and keyboard connected to your Mini.

Goal Accomplished!!!! - Stacia Naquin
Updated: 12/12/2013 - I finally did my pull up!!! It was a New Year's Resolution that took me ALL YEAR! But I did it.
David Petraeus has resigned as director of the CIA after admitting he had an extramarital affair.
According to his letter of resignation, Petraeus asked President Barack Obama yesterday to allow him to resign, and today the president accepted.
In a statement, Obama said the general has "made our country safer and stronger."
Petraeus said in a statement that he had shown "extremely poor judgment" in having the affair.
Petraeus has been married for 37 years to Holly Petraeus, whom he met when he was a cadet at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
The retired four-star general led the military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, then took the helm of the CIA in September 2011.
The CIA had no immediate comment.

"South gate Inn"
Très bien.Manquait peut être une cafetière dans la chambre.Accueil chaleureuxAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Excellent! Cheap, great stores, private, clean!"
The room was clean and well-stocked. Everything looked nice, and the room was cheaper than we had expected. The breakfast was very nice, and the shopping was very nearby, which was a blessing since we were pedestrians the entire weekend. We loved the hotel, and we would love to do a vacation there again! We did not try the hot tub, but it was it working […] order. Guests were spread out over the hotel with vacant rooms in between to keep others from getting bothered. Wifi was excellent. We got it in our room and was able to download and stream videos. Highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are looking for great shopping at a low rate. The two managers were very friendly and helpful 24/7. It was a romantic weekend with my boyfriend that we had an amazing time planning and enjoying! 5 Stars! Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Just passing through"
The location wasn't great was wanting closer to freeway cconsidering just passing through. Overall it wasn't bad for just sleeping for the night if I was there for any length of time I would probably stay elsewhere. The place is still outdated to back in the 8th they desperately need some upgrades.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Room rates were good"
You could see were the new owners were trying to make improvements and the staff was very friendly. We would stay again.Avis certifié Hotels.com
Room was not cleaned while we were there ( 3 nights). We did ask for more towels (and received) on the last night so that we could have them on the morning of check-out.Avis certifié Hotels.com
We needed a place that allowed dogs and chose this motel over another because it says it has queen sized beds. Those were NOT queen sized, just fulls :(. Breakfast was good and morning clerk was helpful.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Not what I expected! - Yuk!"
It was disheartening to say the least, how uncomfortable our room was, especially after a long day of driving. The bed was bar none the most uncomfortable, hard bed I have ever slept on. All the bedding, pillows included, was old and showed stains. The room smelled. The bedding smelled. The bathroom still had hair on the floor, as if they weren't cleaned. […] When we took a shower, the water temperature went from hot to cold in an instant. Had I known the condition of our room, I would have opted to spend a few more dollars to stay at one of the numerous other hotels in the area. Alas, you get what you pay for in a "discount" hotel.

"not bad"
good low end place to stay...good mattresses, good TV, good shower, very clean...everything is pretty old but it's fineAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Easy to find from Interstate but not close to"
I could have used a map of Missoula. Many motels have maps of nearby locations. I was visiting students at the University. It took awhile to find it & to learn my way around the campus. However by the time I left I more or less managed not to get lost anymore. Missoula is a great town and the motel was satisfactory. The managment was friendly and h […] elpful.

The two guys at the front desk were super nice and the breakfast was awesome! They had waffles and biscuits and gravy, along with cereal, fruit, muffins, juice and coffee. For $40 a night it was more than I expected. Thanks!!!!Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Horrible place"
First, had to hunt down the guy to check in. The rooms are being redone, so there was noise. The bathroom had been redone and I thought it looked very nice, problem is, I am only 5'5" tall and hit my head on the shower head. Also, the water kept fluctuating to scalding, burnt my back. Then went to blow dry my hair, not one single usable plug for anything […] in the whole room. Called down and a guy came up with an electric strip. Bed was hard as a rock, poor quality linens. At breakfast, you had to request hot items, they did not want to put them out...so glad to leave.... Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
"You get what you pay for"
This was the cheapest hotel advertised in the area, and you get what you pay for. The room is functional but that's all. It looks like they have been trying to remodel but there's a long way to go. Our shower was newer but the floor wasn't sloped toward the drain. The room was very small. No refrigerator, no microwave, no stand for the suitcase. The […] water in either sink never really got hot, but the shower was fine. There was a door separating the next room and you could see light all around the cracks. Fortunately, we only had one night with neighbors. The "exercise" room had an old stationary bike without an adjustable seat and a cheap stair climber. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
Very friendly and helpfull staff. Clean room. Quickly accommodate d our need for crib and pool towels. Pool and hot tub very clean.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Cheap and dirty"
Hotel was very run down. Didn't look like it had seen a vacuum in a long time. Had a musty smell to it.Avis certifié Expedia
There was trash in the drawers of the dresser. The carprt was badly stained. The property is very unattractive.Avis certifié Expedia
"Not what I thought I'd get for the price"
I paid close to $100 a night for a hotel with 4 light bulbs out stains on the carpet and a fan that made a horrible racket when you put it on cool. Not what I thought I'd get for that kind of money.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Not my cup of tea."
The room we stayed in was dirty, the beds were old and very uncomfortable. Hotel was a drive away from the highway. I have stayed at motel 6 and the rooms were clean beds were comfortable. Will not stay there on my way back.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Dirtiest Hotel Room"
Dirtiest hotel room we have ever stayed in! Food, beer bottle caps, dirt & dust throughout it. Bathroom unclean. Would never recommend this hotel to anyone!!!!Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Gross rooms"
The shower smelled so bad of mildew. Charged extra fee on top of pet charge for deep cleaning of room. This extra fee was not disclosed before hand on hotels.com. This place is a dump. Part of the carpet was coming up in the room, and the air conditioning stopped working in the middle of the nightAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Once was enough"
Not at all sure how this motel qualified as a Howard Johnson. Was more like a down and out Super 8. Worn out motel in a worn out retail area. Also the smallest pool I've ever seen at a hotel, 3 children pretty much filled it up. bathroom had just been remodeled and was decent.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Great hotel, great price"
Of course this hotel does not offer all the luxuries of the expensive hotels but if your on a budget you will not be disappointed! The location was great. Neighborhood was clean and safe. The kids loved the pool, I loved the clean room and newly remodeled bathroom. I would definently stay here again.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"HoJo Missoula!"
Staff was congenial and polite..asked for and received ground floor room..would stay again..easy to find and price was right!Avis certifié Hotels.com
"If you can't find anything else..."
This hotel has super nice staff and management, but only marginally adequate facilities. The location is good, near the mall and a couple decent eateries, but I would not stay here again unless I had no other options.Avis certifié Expedia
"Good Service, Good Location and Great WiFi!"
We checked in and were given a room on the second floor, but when we requested a first floor room they gave it to us. The WiFi was very very strong. My grandchildren loved the pool and hot tub. The motel is located on a main thoroughfare, which made it easy to get around. The breakfast buffet was clean and neat and filling. The only reason I didn't […] give it a 5 all around is because there are classier places. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"It was a place to lay your head."
Upon arriving late into Missoula and not being able to drive any farther, this was the only place left with a room. I can't imagine anyone would go there otherwise because it wasn't nice and it wasn't cheap. We stayed in a lot of other hotels that were top of the line and less expensive than this one. The curtains were hanging half off, the screen tore […] half out, and the smell was awful upon opening the door. It was outdated in every way, the bathroom was dirty but I saw no rodents or bugs there. The sheets were clean and they had no bugs either, that we could see anyway, so really all I can say is that it was a place to rest and lay your head down and we were grateful for that, but we left at first light as soon as possible. The gentleman at the desk was nice enough, kind and he provided breakfast. Everyone around us looked sad as they ate quickly and quietly with their heads down. We thanked the gentleman and left. I would not ever go back and would not be able to advise anyone else to. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Expedia
"Crumby old hotel"
Dingy hotel with stained carpet and dark bedspread (which I think was hiding dirt). My husband got up to take a drink of water and the faucet fell off in his hand. Breakfast was hard green bananas and hard boiled eggs. Avoid this hotel at all costs, even though the reader board boasts best lodging value in Missoula.Avis certifié Expedia
"close to medical center and shopping"
Howard Johnson is my choice of motels when I travel to Missoula. The rates are great, the room is comfortable.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"hotel sucks"
I can not believe that howard johnsons put thier name on this hotel. It was dirty. The bathroom had mold in it. The bathroom door would not shut. There is a reason why they are only charge 70 a night.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"cute lil town"
My stay at the Howard Johnson was adequate at best. The shower did not drain well at all. We could not get the wifi working well at all and the breakfast guy was too right up in your face and creepy. On a good note, the town is a very nice place to visit. We ate at a local restauraant and was very pleased with the people we encountered. Oh yeah, your […] sprinklers need adjusting as they are rather wasteful watering the parking lot Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
The owners and staff were awesome. Very friendly and helpful:)Avis certifié Hotels.com
"look to the future"
the owers are working hard to improve a older hotel and are doing a good job and are very niceAvis certifié Expedia
"comfortable stop over for the night"
the bed is comfortable enough...it is a nice stop over for the night to get a good rest and our dog is welcome to come along with the family and stays with us. They also have plenty of food for the continental breakfast.Avis certifié Hotels.com
I stayed at this Howard Johnson for 7 nights this past week. The hotel staff was very helpful and courteous. They have done a great job of remodeling the rooms..and I know they are still working on it! I would stay there again. Thanks!Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Great hotel for the price"
This is one of the least expensive hotels in the city, by almost 10 percent. For that price you have a hotel located within 5 minutes of the primary shopping district that has a pretty good bed, a shower, and a continental breakfast. The employees were friendly and helpful, and I honestly don't know what more the other reviewers were expecting. It's […] the best deal in town for a place to sleep. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
I have low standards for hotels, and this was terrible. I've stayed at HoJo's before and this is a flea-bag with a Howard Johnson sign taped over whatever it used to be called.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Don't do it."
No heat, we could see out breathe so we turned the heat on and went to dinner. Still no heat when we returned 3 hours later. Sink and vanity covered in hair. Hair in bathroom and in bed. Bed sagged in the middle. Decided to check out even tho the only option was to sleep in our car during a sold out weekend.Avis certifié Expedia
"Flashback to the 60's!"
I made reservations at this hotel because the places I usually stayed were booked. Hadn't stayed at a Howard Johnsons since I was a kid - was disappointed. Really outdated and run down.Avis certifié Expedia
"HoJo's has gone down hill"
When we checked in the owner Mr. Patel was busy on a phone to busy to great us. We were informred ourr rooms would be connected they . I would never reccomend....Avis certifié Hotels.com
Room was clean, and probably 'nice' about 10 years ago. Neighborhood seemed a little shady. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Decent place to stay for a night if you don't want to spend very much.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Avoid this place"
Poor condition of room. Still smelled like smoke even though it is "non-smoking". I would not suggest this place to anybody.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Would not stay here again"
The staff was very nice. The room smelled so bad from the deordorizer spray we had to keep open our door for an hour to air it out. I did not feel like I could relax in my bed because the deodorizer spray smell was in the bed too. We arrived late so did not have the energy to ask for a different rm. I figured they all prob had the same smell. I could […] hear the neighbors toilet flush during the night and could hear when people came home from the bars at 2:30 am. Close to many shopping places. Good location for shopping. I would not stay here again. Lisez la suiteAvis certifié Hotels.com
This is your basic "room for a night". Very popular with locals ( I am one). NOT fancy.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"not at all satisfied"
the lock on our door didn't even work! the manager is creepy and has no tact. and our bathroom had water covering the floor. not to mention the pool was "out of order" and disgusting!Avis certifié Hotels.com
"Missoula hotel"
The rooms weren't totally clean, but the beds and pillows were comfortable. The motel itself is average but the price was cheaper than other hotels. It has a good complimentary breakfast.Avis certifié Hotels.com
"get what you pay for!"
won't go on the cheap again! Not a comfortable nite.Avis certifié Hotels.com
The room had something on the wall, looked like coffee. The floor was very nasty, in need of deep clean or replaced. The tv remote wouldn't work so the clerk moved us to the to another room. The next room was about the same.We thought Howard Johnson was supposed to be higher in standereds.We wouldn't go back or suggest to anyone else.Avis certifié Hotels.com
The facility was very clean but dated and worn. It was comfortable but had nothing other than basic comfortsAvis certifié Hotels.com
"Not a good experience"
This hotel was awful I would not recommend it to anyone. We got in late the toilet had not been flushed the entire room stunk. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone unless you don't care about cleanlinessAvis certifié Expedia
"better than reviews"
Our experience was much better than the reviews, Room was clean, beds were good (liked the extra pillows). Be advised that the in room coffee makers don't use a pot, your suppose to use the cups.Avis certifié Hotels.com

UPDATED: Donate to Support Victims of Japan Earthquake and Tsunami

Editors' Note:
Previously one of our writers posted a highly insensitive article in this space comparing the recent events in Japan to substantially less destructive sports natural disasters, and one of our editors made the poor choice to promote the article. We are dealing with this internally and will hold ourselves accountable.
Rather than delete the article, our first instinct, we would like to redirect any attention coming to this page to encourage donations to support the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
Bleacher Report will also be making a $1,000 donation to the Red Cross to support in aid of the victims.
To donate, visit the following sites:
Text redcross to 90999 to make a $10 donation. It will be on your next cell bill.

Four living species placed in two families make up this order. Sirenians, which are sometimes called sea cows, are large mammals that spend their entire lives in water. Their forelimbs are modified to form flippers, their hindlimbs are reduced to nothing more than a vestigial pelvis, and their tail is enlarged and flattended horizontally to form a fluke or paddle. Sirenians are massive, sometimes weighing over 1150 kg. Their body is streamlined and mostly nearly hairless. Their ears have no pinnae. Their eyes lack obvious eyelids, but are closed by a sphincter-like mechanism. Their bones are unusually dense, a condition called pachyostosis; the extra mass probably helps them remain suspended at or below the surface of the water. Their nostrils are located on top of their snouts and closed by valves. The lips are large and mobile, and they are covered with stiff bristles.
The skull of sirenians is unmistakable. The premaxillae are large and deflected downward. Nasals are reduced or absent, and the nasal opening extends posteriorly nearly to the orbits. The dentary is very broad. In the region of the ear, the tympanic bone is semicircular, and the petrosal is massive and only loosely bound to the basicranium. The teeth of manatees and dugongs are unusual, but they are very different from each other and are described in the accounts of each family.
Sirenians are members of the group known as subungulates, thought to be distantly related to hyraxes, elephants, and perhaps, artiodactyls and perissodactyls. Their fossil record goes back to the Eocene, but at that time both families were distinct and specialized for aquatic life, so their origin is likely to have been considerably earlier.
A fifth species of sirenian is extinct. Steller's sea cows (genus Hydrodamalis) were huge sirenians (probably over 6000 kg, the size of African elephants!) related to dugongs. They lived in the Bering sea, where they fed on seaweed (no other mammal feeds exclusively on seaweed). Steller's sea cows were exterminated by sailors in the mid 1700's, shortly after their discovery. The remaining sirenians, manatees and dugongs, are seriously threatened by hunting, habitat degradation, and in the case of manatees, collisions with boats in the shallow coastal areas they prefer.
Sirenians are vegetarians, feeding on a variety of marine algae and higher plants. Members of both families are social, occuring in large aggregations and interacting frequently with one another.

County Commissioner Wayne Williams has joined the chorus of Republicans complaining about an election reform measure being pushed by House Speaker Terrance Carroll and other Democrats.
Williams does have a dog in this fight, sort of. Having served two, four-year terms on the county commission, he is now campaigning hard to become El Paso County's next clerk and recorder.
If elected, Williams would be the one charged with overseeing elections and making sure they comply with the state laws. (There are other contenders for the slot, including outgoing treasurer Sandra Damron, Public Trustee Tom Mowle, and scientist Charles Corry.)
Both Williams and term-limited clerk Bob Balink question the timing of the bill, portraying it as a desperate measure by Democratic politicians who will find themselves on the street following the November election.
At the State Capitol on Thursday, rumors were flying that the measure was dead, but Speaker Carroll said otherwise in a press release. "I have worked with the minority leader Mike May to identify a bipartisan group of legislators to guide this legislation."
Carroll added that the measure has two goals: to promote fraud-free elections and ensure that counties can run efficient elections. "I want to be clear that I am leaving all options open, including running legislation this year."
In an email to Secretary of State Bernie Buescher, Balink blasted the bill. "It is ABSOLUTELY NOT NECESSARY for this bill to be rushed through in the waning days of the 2010 session." (The emphasis is Balink's.)
"This is not an emergency," Williams added." This is a power grap by a desperate group of people."
Under the draft legislation, voters could register on Election Day instead of a month in advance as is now required by state law; county clerks would send out mail-in ballots to every voter, and third parties, such as labor unions, could pick up and turn in the ballots.
Williams said the measure would make the "entire system more vulnerable to attack."

Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Sun spots and flares rise from surface of sun, SOHO ultraviolet photo (AP)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Space weather forecasters say the solar storm that seemed to be more fizzle than fury got much stronger overnight. It's now the most potent solar storm since 2004.
So far, no power outages or other technological disturbances have been reported from the solar storm that started on Tuesday.
It reached Earth on Thursday morning at mild levels. But for several hours early Friday morning it turned strong. Scientists say that's because the magnetic orientation of the storm flipped.
And more is coming. The federal government's Space Weather Prediction Center says the same area of the sun erupted again Thursday night, with a milder storm expected in the early hours of Sunday morning.

State forecasts winter heating bills will dropBy Chris Gautz
Michigan residents can expect their winter heating bills to be lower than last year, according to the Michigan Public Service Commission's annual Michigan Energy Appraisal. The MPSC report released today said that assuming normal winter weather, the heating bills for residents using natural gas, propane and heating oil will be lower; the commission did not estimate a dollar amount for the decrease. About 88 percent of Michigan residents use those three fuel sources to heat their homes. The report found overall annual demand for electricity and natural gas is expected to decrease due to the mild summer, and therefore, energy supplies in the state are expected to be adequate to meet demand this winter. Compared with 2012, electricity sales are expected to decrease by a half a percent this year, and total natural gas sales are projected to drop this year by 3.8 percent. According to the report, industrial electric usage, driven by the automotive sector, is expected to grow by about 1 percent this year. Chris Gautz: (517) 403-4403, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hi, I am Sasha. Me and my wife Sveta stay in a beautiful Indian Goa state. I own a small company in Russia and spend working days on the Internet. But it is Saturday today and we will finally go to the sea.
The wonderful day started with the pretty face of my wife who was happy to see me.
We brought several cats from Russia.
How can one stay somewhere else if there is such a view?
I have been drinking just water, tea and coffee without sugar for several days already. My weight was 93 kg some days ago.
I love taking a shower.
I bought the wonderful caps a couple of days ago. Sveta has chosen the white one.
I am waiting for Sveta who has forgotten her things at home.
The well.
This is the first time I am looking inside the well.
The car is very fast.
I take the trip very serious.
We stay at the bank of the beautiful river. The sea is located a bit further and can be seen from here.
We have met my friend Andrey.
We all dream to come here at night and steal a box or two.
We don't spend much here but cash is needed anyway.
We have finally reached the sea.
The beach is filled with Indians as it is a weekend.
They usually organize parties like this. Those who are rich enough go to restaurant.
I am serious even when I swim.
Our favourite restaurant.
Now I don't feel ashamed of showing my photo after 5 days of abstinence from food.
The guy is sad as he was not invited for a picnic.
How could not I fall in love with her?
We are writing postcards for our friends and relatives.
We are tired to write and go for a walk across the beach.
A smiling castle.
The boy tried to escape from his Mom but failed.
This is a man, by the way.
A kindergarten.
The rescuer refused to greet us as he was concentrated on his work.
My dinner consists of water and green tea. No sugar.
The person is politely pointing at the place where one can sell specs.
Seems to be a chief of the place. He has recently become a father for the second time. He wants all his visitors to be satisfied with service and food.
Sveta is waiting for food and continues filling in postcards.
She will have milkshake.
And fish.
The food is very tasty.
The sunset.
A cemetery of used coconuts.
The guy is selling delicious bread.
We came to the post-office but it had closed without any reason.
So, all we had to do is look at the boys.
We wanted to buy milk in the supermarket but found only drinks.
I know that I can't have sweets but can I at least look at them?
The school is clean and tidy. There are no schools here that look alike.
And we need to buy fruits for Sveta.
Chocolates, milk porridge, fish from the restaurant, pineapple,etc. This is how we live here. Come here and be our guests!
Location: Goa

12 year sentence for woman over Victoria station stabbing
12:40pm Thursday 26th April 2012 in Lewisham © Press Association and news reporter
A WOMAN has been locked up for 12 years after the horrific stabbing of a 15-year-old boy in Victoria tube station.
Victoria Osoteku, aged 20, of Brookmill Road, Deptford, was the only female out of the 20 youths charged in connection with Sofyen Belamouadden's death.
She was sentenced at the Old Bailey today (April 26) after earlier being found guilty of manslaughter.
Osoteku had denied the charges, but CCTV footage showed her kicking the boy in the head as he lay dying after being attacked by rival school pupils.
She had also bought a set of kitchen knives which were used to arm boys taking part in the fight - a confrontation she had helped arrange.
The brutal stabbing took place in front of terrified commuters on March 25 last year, leaving Sofyen with fatal wounds to his heart and right lung.
Judge Christopher Moss ordered that Osoteku, who was 18 at the time of the incident, be detained for 12 years. He also sentenced her to eight years concurrently for conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.
The judge said Osoteku must share part of the responsibility for the death because she assisted in buying a set of knives during her lunch hour. A witness said she had been "gloating" about what happened the following day at her sixth form college.
Judge Moss added: "You were seen to deliver the final kick to Sofyen as you were the last of the group to run away."
Osoteku nodded to the judge in acknowledgement before she was led to the cells. She denied the charges during a five-month trial. She said she did not kick the victim and sobbed: "I nudged him with my foot to see if he was OK."
Last week, three youths were given sentences of 18 years each for the promising footballer's murder. Sofyen's father, Abdeslan, 51, said of his son: "He was a star in the making. He was an outstanding all-round player. He was born and bred in London and often talked of his ambition to represent England in the World Cup final."

Shame on You
May 7th, 2009 | by Ray Flowers |Are there no hero's left? The answer to that question appears to be a resounding yes after the news broke today that Manny Ramirez was being suspended 50-games, starting immediately, for taking HCG a drug which, by most experts' opinions is used to boost a body's testosterone production and often one that is used to help regulate a body's ability to produce the hormone after taking steroids. There is even a story out that stating that the reason Manny tested positive for the drug is that it may have been prescribed by a doctor to help him overcome erectile dysfunction. There are so many positions, I mean directions, that I could go with here I'm really tempted, but given the gravity of the whole matter I think I will just let that one lay where it is.
The fact of the matter is that baseball as we knew it is totally done. If there was any "star" in the game who seemed to be above the performance enhancing drugs (PED) scandals it was Manny. Why? Does the guy even know what day it is? Sometimes he acts like he is on drugs, but most would posit weed and not PED's as the culprit thanks to his often outrages behavior. Alas, that "joke" is no longer applicable with the news we heard today.
So where does this all leave us? Can baseball respond? Take a look at the list of the greatest players of all-time, and a whole host of them are now tainted with names like Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa all under the pale of the PED scandal that has rocked the game to its very foundations. We have a couple of situations at play here.
1 – We have the group of suspected PED users in Bonds, Clemens, McGwire and Sosa. Anyone with half a brain in their head must admit that it appears, with a high degree of certitude, that each of these men used illicit means to boost their performance on the field even if they have yet to make such an admission.
2- We have an admitted user in A-Rod. He has stated that his PED use was limited to 2001-03 when he was a member of the Texas Rangers, but a recent book not only disputes that "fact," it goes far beyond it to allege that A-Rod took PEDs as far back as high school. Regardless, unlike the men listed in number one above, A-Rod has admitted to PED use.
3- We have only one man off this list, despite everything that has been discussed, written or assumed, who has actually tested positive for PEDs while a major league player, and that is Manny Ramirez.
Not only will Manny have to live with the shame that this suspension will bring, his once pristine image, only tarnished by his flighty attitude and whimsical indiscretions on the field, is now called into question from a historical perspective. Given the climate we live in today, that means that a man who is clearly one of the top-10 right-handed hitters of all-time will likely find his name alongside the likes of Bonds, Clemens and McGwire five years after he hangs up his cleats – former superstars who may forever be denied admittance into the hallowed halls of the Hall of Fame. And for that, we should all be truly ashamed.

Quick Consultant: Surveys Often Provide Excuses for Low Profits
Low profits are most often the result of bad business decisions, not government regulations or the economy. John Stewart says it's time for printers to quit making excuses and examine their own business practices in order to find growth.
By the way, don't let anyone suggest to you that increases in your cost of goods (COG) is somehow an inevitable consequence of the current recession and there isn't much that can be done, or that it just has to be accepted as another reason for declining profits. Hogwash! The fact is that COG has remained almost constant in this industry for more than 25 years, staying in the 29-30% range during this entire period. If yours has suddenly gotten out of a very tight range, then do something about it.
Once again, the leaders do a better job than the laggards when it comes to managing their businesses. The top companies in this industry have been able to maintain a COG ratio of 27.5% for more than 25 years, while the COG for those in the bottom quartile has hovered in the 30.6% range for that same period of time.
For printers to suggest, as they seem so inclined to do so these days, that many of their costs are rising (paper, energy, ink, other materials) and they are powerless to do anything about it is simply ludicrous. Other than shopping for the best prices and reducing spoilage, the best way to bring COG under control is to raise prices in your computerized pricing systems. It can be done; it must be done. It is as simple as that.
Everything said above about COG applies to overhead expenses as well. Overhead costs as a percent of sales have actually declined slightly in the past 25 years. There is also a very noticeable difference in overhead expenses reported by those at the top (21.9%) as opposed to those at the bottom (30.8%).
The root cause of most financial problems facing this industry is the same as it has always been—the inability of owners to make difficult choices when difficult choices need to be made.
Instead of making the truly difficult choices involving the termination of long-term employees or raising prices in a price sensitive economy, even when financial and productivity ratios dictate that this must be done, too many owners choose instead to close their eyes, hoping against hope that things will somehow turn around next month or next quarter.
For the Next Industry Survey
Just once, the next time someone decides to conduct a survey and lists things such as healthcare costs, government rules, rising costs, and the inability to raise prices as potential obstacles to profits, I would like to see the addition of one more choice that could be checked: "Most of my financial problems are of my own making, and I accept full responsibility for my own stupidity for not having dealt with the situations when they were small and still manageable."
