New IMF head Christine Lagarde faces immediate crisis in Greece

This I hear is going to be a better job although most don't think such a job should be handed to a female. Most of what is happening nowdays in the world of banking, is controlled by the chinese and people like president of the NY Fed Timothy Geithner who sat and sometimes appeared in the national media circuit intentions unknown. I dunno if the job suits an American with basic banking and conflict resolution skills. A match or the other seems like the world was going to stop if the Europeans didn't find her you get what i'm trying to say. Strauss Kahn who was escorted off may have been the right choice to my suprise he was charged then arrested by the U.S justice system. They were seeking someone with experince someone like the Israeli central banker Stanley Fischer. When disaster strikes in Japan much of it got to be highlighted "In normal times, you can probably rely on intuition," Mr. Fischer said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "But all the time, in different countries, there are serious economic issues" that need to be addressed, Mr. Fischer said, and IMF staffers often offer conflicting advice. "Without having that [economic] training, it's very hard to know, who's best. I thought mistake avoided a trillion gone with the wind. I checked into what happened following the disaster which struck Japan before traveling to Africa. The IMF is now controlled by a french diplomat Ms. Christine Lagarde, personally she's been in the newspaper from an economic standpoint communicating with politicians keeping the money flowing to the hands of the right individuals. There are claims that our president was anti business, thinks the real estate market to have boomed the broke down. So if your interested in knowing where all of our American dollars is moving to I would guess Kentucky or Boston.

Lagarde faces immediate tests in Greece, as well as a longer-range commitment to giving developing nations more power within the IMF.

Essential irrelevance

What size intelligence?

Tyrannosaurus Rex-gigantic,

A hundred-forty million orbits

Planet Earth's almighty terrorist,

And yet did not have a clue

How to not become extinct?
Creepy crawly cockroach-small
With dinosaurs cavorted
In hide-and-seek
As smilingly
As it assimilates our pesticides?

Homo sapiens narcistic-oversized

In diapers barely hiding mooning bums,

A mere two million runs

Around the sun
And yet already
Planet Earth's almighty terrorist
On the brink
Of nuclear self-genocide?

Really Big D: Mavericks top Heat for NBA title

Uh oh, it really is “now or never” for LeBron James and the Miami Heat.

Dallas’ Dirk Nowitzki scored 29 points, driving for the go-ahead dunk with 2:45 remaining, and the Mavericks beat the Miami Heat 112-103 on Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead.

Five years after going up 2-0 on the Heat, the Mavs finally got that elusive third victory, and can wrap up their first championship in Game 6 at Miami on Sunday night.

“We didn’t want to go to Miami and give them basically two shots to close us out. So we kept plugging there in the fourth. So definitely a big win for us,” Nowitzki said. “And now we have to go down there and basically approach Sunday’s game as Game 7.”

James, who called this game “now or never,” responded from his worst playoff performance with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and Dwyane Wade battled through a sore left hip after a first-quarter collision to finish with 23 points.

“I could have made a couple of more plays for my team,” James said. “But at the end of the day, all it’s about is a win or a loss. Triple-double means absolutely nothing in a loss. So we will be better in Game 6 on Sunday.”

Game 6: Mavericks win series 4-2!!!

Rant

I've just logged on and am using facebook for the first time in a number of days. To think how a family member had just put some images of me on the web so i'm unsure of what exactly amounts to a privacy violation. I'm however going to have to explain the danger of tagging, posting or even uploading any of my photo's onto a website like Facebook. Internet's not safe a bug will need to be reported, I don't want to say what that includes because it's a personal issue. Right, I just logged in and am away from my home computer, since the beginning of the week i've had to sit and think about my stay here in EA. If this or any such thing happens to you what do you think is the exact procedure of dealing with the matter. Talking perhaps isn't going to help solve the issue, i've just left him a note telling him/her how it upsets me to be looking at photo's taken before the funeral. Some of the people who wanted to attend weren't there so as soon as I returned, I jumped into documenting everything from his computer. So it's probably wiser not doing or saying anything until he removes the images himself.
