In real terms , European Union is viewed by two different , sometimes controversial views. One , before ratification of the EU's constitution which later, was trimmed as Lisbon treaty was aimed at creating a new superstate of Europe ,, undermining the roles of the national states. Internationally however, this superpower was due to confront the pressures of two giant rivals of the today ,, the US ( with decreasing power but still a super power) and the other China and the so called: " emerging new markets and economies". apparently a superstate cant do the job  while an international organization can.  <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> So, the idea of such an evolution was indeed a movement toward securing Europeans power position in the world of today. The same idea that has been very much strange and unfamiliar to the European nationalism. Beside,  undermining a huge gap between the Europeans and Europeans. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>Simple fact of being the cradle of two world wars and many nationalistic conflicts , not to mention the former Yugoslavia and additional Balkan tensions on the Eastern front in our time , together with the new front lines in the Middle East and Asia,  justifies the nationalistic decision making's overhand in the European Union , such as electing Internationally gray and unknown president and foreign minister. There are even doubts about using the title of "minister" for Lady Ashton , because there are sensitivities in that would be interpreted as a post united Europe's minister for foreign affairs. In the case of the very nice and gentle Mr Rompuy. I am sure they could not run away from the responsibility of electing a president according to the Lisbon agreement, otherwise they might as well call him " General director " or the chairman of the committee of Europe , instead of  just "president".        <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>This is exactly what I intend to deal with in these lines. There is simply no " United Europe" as if you might make a parallel with: United States ( States of the Union with federal government , military and foreign policy) or Republic of China , gathered of huge amount of states ( some even with autonomy ) , but highly centralized in a central government. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>Both of the cases above, disregard of the fact that they contain many states ( or provinces if you like  ), are being called as one and same state. the United States is making one state and the same goes for China. Their rivalries and hostile wars to keep the states as they are today , are already passed history,while Europe is still in the era of its nationalism. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>The complexity of European's national states' sovereignty question ,, is not a new story , as mentioned earlier ,, there have been wars emphasizing their national and local interests and cultural behaviors.  <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><font size="5"><strong>But this is a unity after all? isn't it?!    </strong></font><strong>      </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>Simultaneously however , the establishment of European Union was aimed as resolving new problems facing this unity which I rather to call it an "international organization" than a "superstate". </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>  In view of the fact of International organization's survival struggle to face new challenges, European Union finds its real meaning , while in the shadow of some ideal thinking of the" unity of Europe" it is not even as united as it should be to be labeled as an international organization. By this term even United Nation has more sense of unity in itself than the EU. However the question is whether it is necessary to be a superstate to face European challenges?! </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>In the case of Europe with diversities of super-economies such as German and France on the one hand and weak , still developing ones such as Greece and the new joined Ex-Eastern ones such as Hungary,check Republic , Romania and others, finding an overall solution for elected head of unity posts , if not impossible but is next to a nightmare. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>In an organization , you might even chose the least important member states representatives to fill the seat , without the authority and sovereignty of the giant members gets violated. In a superstate, if such an election would be possible after all,, it will lead to a range of military conflicts front on the one hand and revolutions( even in the shape of extensive street riots) on the other ,, with the high eventuality of division of the unity at the end of the day. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>In a superstate, the tax purposeful policies will work for the whole state according to the constitution, while in an international organization, if any common taxation policies , it would work for all members evenly with no possible sanctions at all. In Europe we have, not even hyper rich classes ,,, but even hyper rich nations , opposing the extreme poor classes and regions.Once in the history , if we might get a bit nostalgic ,, with a hypothetical level of dis-balance between the first millenniums nation states in Europe , such unity would be plausible by the help of extensive prolonged bloodshed and wars. In the case of Europe the bloodshed were there , but a balance of military power we present as well. The result if balance of power in today's Europe that we are witnessing today.        <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>What is the joint interests of these two categories of the people to let them elect " powerful "and "meaningful" presidencies and representative for the foreign affairs?! Obviously , either the mighty economies should use all the tricks to evade from the constitution's rules , or they should empty the content of these posts of its real meaning , in order not to give it a "veto" position, all because this post might someday get occupied by the representatives of the poor states.This is dangerous not only for Europe , but for Europe's international commitments!<br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>In addition,, who will deal with an Romanian president ( who incidentally , according to the super-state's constitution is a real head of a real state, while Germany and France were forced to keep their voice down until his presidency is over? </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>Add to this the diversity of the economies of Europe even among the mighty nations , such as French agricultural sector's representatives on the "seat of power" opposed by the German heavy industrial minded magnates,,, the clashes of vital interests would create a new international war , instead of any unity at all.                                             <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> Election of Gray Characters such as Van  Rompuy and baroness Ashton by above mentioned criteria was not only wise , but necessary as well because the founders of the European Union well aware of these controversies in the context of this union , intended to bridge over the lop holes that the unity is suffering from , instead of creating an ideal symbol of unity. This is a practical decision which was well managed by the wise guys to fill insignificant posts with still less significant bureaucratic gray heads. An unpopular , somewhat humiliating, but very practical and wise decision.  </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>But the main question still remains, for how long this mercantile, opportunistic style of bridging over the loop holes, instead of making the real changes will work? All the signs of the present Europe shows the needs of real "changes",,, simply because an international Organization needs to change to survive after all.       </strong></font></p><p> <font

The artificial blockades of commerce and international diplomacy were justified often by the cohesive impacts of the two world , two systems.    </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> Yet the boundaries were not only put on human inter-relationships depending on which side of the line one lived, but it created human disasters beyond any explanation at all. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> However one major attribute of that devil international system was , simplifying the definition of illegal and legal, illegitimate and legitimate depending again on which side of the line one lived. The system's collapse made every invaluable , valuables , every white to  black and every single black turned to be white in just one single moment of the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 (1).     <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> Life was supposed to be much easier since then,, but what really happened was the drastically increasing of the subsystems in the international affairs. Diplomacy was taken as hostage by the so called " Pirate States"(2) that still had problem to be recognized as the parts of the new international system , or better to say the new international Anarchism.     <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>The first attribute of this new system as mentioned before was pluralism in " power centers " round the world. The satellites of the former super powers became the new players as well ,, many states released by the dissolution of the Soviet Union became "military pirates" trying to enter the international underworld of military and weaponry black market to compensate the lost of their mandates and strengths. Many of them turned to be the new enterprising bodies for the New Ruling Class , reining over the new Russia even today. They appear even to have gained international legitimacy , mostly by their counterparts in the West, namely the Western Capitalism. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> On the other hand the new " Pirate States" that proved to be much less concerned about international system's prerequisites , took the piracy of foreign commerce in their own hands together with any possible international piracy , enabling them questing and later acquiring atomic weapons ( 3) to be able to continue with their subsystem piracy. Many of them still hide this self-satisfied indulging ideological mambo-jambo as their religious heritage, commanding them to act like pirates.  </strong></font></p><p> <font size="5"><strong><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font face="times new roman,times,serif">The consequences for the heir of the old system? </font></font></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font face="times new roman,times,serif">In this dramatic, anarchical break down of systems together with starting of the new semi systems of the world order , the role of the one and only super power remaining of the old system is not enviable at all. United States as the only power coming through the changes almost(4) without losing its attributions as a super power has challenges that must be dealt with , otherwise our world will demised in one or another irresponsible act of terror, ignited by this and that brain washed foot militia of wealthy oil income based piracy subsystem and blow off what ever in paradox with its approach of its whatever religion.         </font><font face="times new roman,times,serif">              </font>  </font><br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> But the dangers in front of our somewhat crippled " super power" is not only those in enmity with its systemic values , but even more dangerously those sharing its own values , the so called values of western capitalism. Since 1980s, international commerce was the only possible pathway between the still " civilized system world of international relations: and those under the steps of piracy. Many were killed after revolutions in the Third World ,, many were taken hostages ,, thousands of people were forced into refuge ,, without any chance to ever visit or inhabit on their old birthplaces,, hundreds of small and inconsiderable blasts killed people in the Commercial centers,, in the hearts of International Capitalism and elsewhere, however , still the ticker of the Capitalism and trade pulses. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> The new Financial Crisis however was a "gift of god" to review the corrupted rules of Capitalism which was eating the Western System Values from inside up,, and paving the way for the further international anarchism. Joining of China , India , Brazil , Russia to the whiter international commerce rules , was in fact a blessing for the new system to blossom in the "not haves" world in controversy to the Cold War , which monopolized and took the international commerce as a hostage into the hands of two super powers owning the most powerful atomic arsenals. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> Nevertheless the real challenge is still far from being solved. On the contrary , our world has just recently started to see the values of " restrictions" and "regulations" of the international commerce. The aim of this bold action will not only deprive the Capitalism's domestic enemies ,, disguised in descent international corporations , such as banks and financial institutions , but they will aim the pirate states as well, as its long term goal. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> The task however is not that easy, United States as President Obama well put it in its declaration of foreign policy speeches, it need every member of the Industrial and emerging economic powers active participation.         </strong></font></p><p><strong>  <font size="5">The crucial role of sanctions  </font>   </strong></p><p><strong>    <font size="4">A vital role which is played in this connection is accomplished by the "sanctions" either put by the international organizations charters ( like seventh chapter of the UN chapter) or individually forced by the Industrial World to make pirate sates obey the rules of the game. This also despite the fact that International Capitalism drives its own rules even against its own long term benefits , for its short term, short sited wealth maximizing and vertical integration rules of commerce. Sanctions will not be effective if the new rules to stop wealth maximizing based on the vertical integration and insider information games would be stopped or severely restricted. One of these magical cures for diminishing the pirate behavior is see and guarantee that international sanctions work. </font></strong></p><p><strong><font size="4"> The next step is to demilitarize the newly gained atomic weapon centers that severely threatening the international peace and security. As the generator of all these illegal activities instigated by the motivations of gaining power and wealth, United States has to challenge the Inner corrupted commercial entities as much as the international bandits that has never shown any regret in destabilizing the world. If all these two elementary steps of regaining its systemic superiority being taken, then our world would move towards cooperation and coexistence in harmony.

at 76.25), a development attributed to Bernanke comments that the Fed would be ready to tighten rates once the economy improves.<br /><br />The USD weakness trade has paid off fantastically in the past week, and we would not be surprised if a little profit-taking were to come ahead of next weekâ€™s spate of major earnings releases. <br /><br />The Q3 releases thus far have all been impressing to the upside, including aluminium giant Alcoa. If these early indicators are anything to go by, the USD could be in for further tough times ahead.<br /><br />Norwegian CPI print of 0.8% MoM in Sep vs. expectations of 0.5% has once again underlined the likelihood of a Norges Bank hike in the upcoming 28 October meeting.<br /><br />This afternoon the main item on the agenda will be Canadian Unemployment, which is expected to rise to 8.8% in Sep

Apart from the so called new emerging economies that insist upon a more fair interactions with the world's directors , mostly gathered in the other UN organ the Security Council, the emerging world pirates are increasing in number by the years as well.               <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4" color="#ffffd2"><strong>A closer look at a free approach to their opening speeches shows how this organ of the UN which is primarily a consultative , without authority of sanctions,  demonstrates how the General Assembly is growing to a lobby of outlaws. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4" color="#ffffd2"><strong>Both Iranian and Libyan presidents address the world order according to their own Islamic approach of an ideal form of international relations , no matter if the existing gaps between " Haves and Not Haves" get deeper. What really matters for them is that, Israel disappears from the scene of the international relations. They use this as a symbol to make their approaches to the world powers, the United States on top of all. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4" color="#ffffd2"><strong>Weather this approach is right or wrong or justified on non justified, the issue is a political stand point that every nation according to the United Nations' charter has right to do it and use in its parole. But what really seems to be worrying the world powers is that this kind of addressing the rest of the world is not according to any rule of diplomacy , neither is according to the United Nations charter. States cant demand other states annihilation or denying international sanctity of some symbolic catastrophic events ,, such as genocides , mass destruction of human race,, etc to make an approach to World Powers in General Assembly's session. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4" color="#ffffd2"><strong> This is not only counterproductive , but it is against any admitted principle of addressing any session in the world, let alone UN's. There is no wonder then why many representatives prefer to leave the session while the " Pirate States" drive their speech against certain states that might or not might be the "war criminals" themselves. The issue also is not at all that "Pirate States" do have some points or not in their addressing speeches,rather the issue is in their way of presenting it to a world session. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4" color="#ffffd2"><strong> By brutally violating the cordial principles of diplomatic addresses, "pirate states" endanger their own topics to be easily neglected by the International Community. Although most of them have certainly something to cover such as Iran's supporting terrorism, its atomic weapon or internal criminal human right records. The outcome is near to zero if any organ of the world would take them seriously to change its rules of Security Council's protocols to address their specific needs and demands. There is nobody else to blame rather than themselves by humiliating a session ( General Assembly) as they did three decades ago by taking the whole diplomatic principles of the civilized world as their hostages as it happened in Iran against American embassy and diplomats in 1979-80. There in no one else to blame but themselves for why they stand where they stand in our world of international relationships.     </strong></font></p><p><font size="4" color="#ffffd2"><strong> <font size="5" color="#ff5500"><a href="mailto:cyrusvadani@msn.com">cyrusvadani@msn.com</a><br /></font></strong></font> </p><p><br /></p> News & Sports http://www.zorpia.com/curiosocasanova/journal/1931170 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:20 EST Secularism and the Middle East, it is possible? .. http://www.zorpia.com/curiosocasanova/journal/1928975 <p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" border="0" width="468"><tbody><tr height="52"> <td align="left" width="259" valign="top" style="height: 52px;"> <div align="left" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

Only a clearance of 1.4445 really confirms a continuation of the uptrend and would be printing a 9 month high in the process.

The USD bulls have taken the pair through the 2 week downtrend that we have been looking at and is now looking to break through 94.80 /90 to keep the momentum going. There is every chance that the pair will come back to test its breakout at 94.45 which will provide a good long entry for those who were patiently waiting for the 93.00 area. Long term the trend is down with short and medium term up.<br /><br />USD CHF<br /><br />Last week, we looked at the multi month descending triangle pattern and it is now very important to pay attention to the short term strength or weakness. The horizontal support of the triangle at 1.0556 has been tested once more and if the SNB claim they are sitting on the sidelines then someone else has replaced them as the pair has rallied off the support for nice straight positive hours since the Asian open.

views expressed by the EU's leading countries against people's crashing by the Iranian revolutionary guards made, France and Germany seems not to be decisive enough now in condemning  the crashes and  recognizing Ahmadinejad's government. </strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>There are several reasons for EU's reluctance. One might be the slow down of the protest actions in Iran giving them the signals of retaining efficient control by the regime.  <br /></strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>Other more important,, they fear any non-recognition of Ahmadinejad's government might endanger the future of the atomic negotiations with Iran and not the least their trade interactions.   <br /></strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>The US's Foreign secretary Hillary Clinton's recent statements about eventual change on Iranian atomic ambitions might even give EU more incitement to cool down their reactions. Hillary Clinton suggested in a summit of Asian security in Thiland interpreted as if: "even an Iranian atomic bomb can't help this country of safeguarding itself" because The US would raise up the military and security preparedness among the neighbors of Iran in a fashion that no eventual atomic bomb will help Iran to be safe for the regime".   </strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>Many observers interpreted this comment as if the US might be considering an eventual acceptance of Iranian Atomic projects,, the interpretation which was denied by the US and Mrs Clinton. </strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>In any case if the world is preparing itself to live in deterred harmony with Ahmadinejad ,,, the aftermath of these clear or implicit recognitions will be devastating for the democratic movements of Iranian people. Any recognition of this kind will help the regime to use it as the sign of its not challenging hegemony over its people simply because its hopes to become a regional power will fade. If such a hegemony would have been conceivable after all. Atomic bomb will be used as a device for more terror internally.    <br /></strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>However this does not mean that EU and US would necessarily have controversial policies towards Iran in the future either. Both have shown by far and large that they would tolerate any regime in Iran as long as it is efficiently having control over the country. The problem is now certainly is not human right issues or the rising numbers of the murdered protesters or arrested journalist in the first place, but its combination with an volatile region that Iran is a key member of it. </strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>Any expansion of the crisis in Iran would endanger Western newly taken up policies in Afghanistan and Pakistan in which the Western armies are involved in a full fledged anti terrorist war. Any new wave of intervention of Iranian regime in these arenas would complicate the situation even more. </strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>On the other hand a new strengthening of the US forces in Persian Gulf would mean Iranian regime feels even more isolated by its traditional economic lungs in the Southern Coast and among its Arab nations, many of which are even more afraid of a democratic trend in Iran than Iranian atomic bomb.They are even more afraid that trade with Iran would be disrupted. <br /></strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>Most of them are run by autocratic regimes inspired by Islam. These facts will make a new tough task for Americans only managable by the Europeans good will and helping hands. </strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>But in any event, the time is also ripe for the social changes in Iran and may be the whole region. Neither atomic nor the economic issue changes the fact that West should find a solution combining a calming down of political crises together with solving its atomic issue with Iran. This is hardly achievable by making a new tradition of living side by side with the militarization of Iran led by figures such as Ahmadinejad. </strong></font></p> <p><font size="4"><strong>  <a href="mailto:cyrusvadani@msn.com">cyrusvadani@msn.com</a>             </strong></font><br /></p> <p><a style="FONT-STYLE: normal;

The new G15 will contain even Brazil, Mexico, India, Russia, Canada, etc and even some other primarily invitees such as Egypt, South Africa and even Southern Korea might be added up to this number. Without these nations G8 cant have a real proportion to its goals and ever reson detre! </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>2- Obama never mentioned what he meant by saying: rough translation:</strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>" Islamic regime can reach legitimacy by measures other than Atomic bomb",,   ,, but I guess he meant , if the regime gives legitimacy to the peoples' demands they will give them legitimacy either( meaning,, we will make it happen for you, meaning democracy in Iran is not an issue for Americans , they are just afraid of the Atomic bomb owned by Iran). This ofcourse very theoretical wishful thinking about this kind of regime because Obama and I don't think anyone in the West , other than politicians from Great Britain !! know what they are talking about. the people on top of Islamic regime know themselves they don't have any legitimacy among the people, they have stolen the sovereignty and held it by religious myths and diversions of the facts and truth. This happens to any country and nation that clergies rule them politically as well. Europeans once ( Lutherans) revolted against priests rule and Vatican, that was the right decision both for the religion and politics. Iran is experiencing the same thing and the after shakes will also affect the whole Middle East to approach secularism. Mr Obama knows this and wants to push back this process to a more compromising Islam which does not exist. I think he had long been trained by the Islamic trainers to hinder this process. Americans ( at least those very close to traditional British stand points taken out of Colonialism such as figures among the Democrates) don't like a secular Middle East. The reason : secular people will talk about figures, facts , economy and real politics , while Islamists only insult and swear !!!!! </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>So Obama only wants to calm the regime down as saying and promising , if you drop your atomic ambitions , we will still hold your back because we even want you more on power than you yourself do!!! but the problem is: Islamists have never and will never trust anyone but themselves and people's fear from them is on the end of line , as well as their once trust in them as clergies. </strong></font></p><p><font size="5"><strong> cyrusvadani@msn.com</strong></font></p> News & Sports http://www.zorpia.com/curiosocasanova/journal/1916135 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:58 EST G8 summit and Iran http://www.zorpia.com/curiosocasanova/journal/1915972 <p> </p><p><img hspace="0" height="203" border="0" align="baseline" width="135" vspace="0" src="http://lrg103.zpcdn.com/0/5188/33208622.cdc3bd.jpg" /> <font size="5"><strong>Curioso's Journals</strong></font><br /></p><p><font size="5"><strong>G8 summit , near and far impacts on Iran and other international Crises Issues.    </strong></font><br /></p><p><font size="4"><strong>G8 session in Achila Italy has touched the important questions of our time: Global warming, Economic crisis, expansive poverty and strategic arm proliferation stop. Iran was a topic for itself on the side of the summit. The reason why the G8 was cautious about Iran was Russia and China's ambivalence to condemn Iran officially. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>However this does not mean that G8's practical policy against Iran and North Korea will not be hard enough to persuade these two states with ambitions to produce atomic bomb ( in case of Iran) and the proliferation of atomic missiles ( in the case of North Korea), to negotiate with the Western world. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> United States foreign secretary Hillary Clinton warned Iran yesterday of the new wave of sanctions against the country. France President Nikolas Sarkozy got even further and alarmed Iran of the nuclear bomb ambitions and its tough reactions against its own citizens. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> All the other evidences are all due to the fact that most of the G8 members will be inclined to pressurize Iran economically and even politically if that would be necessary. However any recalling of the European Ambassadors of the country would not be a topic for the moment. The reason given to that is they will not risk their prestige once again by resending back their ambassadors back to Iran. First time it was the "Mikonos afair" through which a number of the Iranian opposition figures were assassinated in Berlin by the direct order of some of the present Iranian leaders such as Hashemi Rafsanjani. The perpetrators later were convicted by a German court for murder and therefore not being able to visit European countries. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>Russians have vividly demonstrated their will to support the government of Ahmadinegad , for the simple reason that they find the Iranian reformists close to West and hence against Russian interests in Iran. Nevertheless this does not mean that they will not comply with the final Western wish of stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions in particular. Russian have never voted against any Western initiated resolution in the Security Council of the United Nations when attending the Iranian nuclear problem before. So by the very first implications of the G8 summit, tougher stands against Iran and Northern Korea is anticipated. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>The change in the G8's own structure is also a question that will affect its engagements in the international topics in future as well. G8's expansion to 15 possible members with the new participants such as Russia India, China, South Africa, Brazil and Mexico to name just a few of them, will give it the new forum to discuss international economic, global warming and poverty issues in particular in a more detailed and accurate context in the future. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong> Iran could also be invited as a participant in the international forum if the " legitimacy of regime" would not be questioned by most of the participants and the international community as the aftermath of the hard line and still smashing security forces/military actions against the Iranian people. All these tough times for Iran despite the relatively soft tone of the US president towards Iran saying: Iran can achieve its legitimacy of sovereignty through other measures. The United States president did not mention these " other measures" in detail. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>  In short, either Mr Obama's visit to Moscow and G8's summit in Achila did not have any tangible result regarding the case of Iran. That however does not mean the attempts to sanction and eventually punish the outlaw regime of Iran and North Korea will be out of agenda ,,, even the US's military actions will get a more colorful significance now that all the other diplomatic measures seem to be fading out of the table. One way or another Iran expects very hard times either internally or externally now that G8 has postponed its decisions to the coming meeting of 20 nations. </strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong><font size="5">cyrusvadani@msn.com               </font>   <br /></strong></font></p><p> <font size="4"><strong><br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>           <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong>       <br /></strong></font></p><p><font size="4"><strong><br />   <br /></strong></font><br /> </p> News & Sports http://www.zorpia.com/curiosocasanova/journal/1915972 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 06:35 EST
