Мои соседи организуют референдум: запретить магнитной школе рядом с нашим домом набирать так наз. "одаренных детей" по всему городу, и отменить в ней старшие классы. Совершенно правильный шаг, а потом вообще закрыть к чертям! Я буду голосовать за!!!

А все почему? Потому что школа огородила садик забором. Удивительно, как народная любовь работает: вот школа со всеми ужасами, и ничего, терпят годами и похваливают. А огородили забором садик, для организации перемен на свежем воздухе (всем остальным все равно можно гулять), и готово, нарушение архитектурного ансамбля, убирайтесь вон.

Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The German government rejected a U.S. request to provide more troops to combat Taliban insurgents in southern Afghanistan, saying that ministers were ``surprised'' by the demand.

``The letter came as a surprise to us,'' Ulrich Wilhelm, Chancellor Angela Merkel's chief spokesman, told a regular news conference in Berlin today. ``The government has made clear that the existing mandate provides the basis for our engagement.'' The government ``has no plans'' to change the mandate as approved by the lower house of parliament, or Bundestag.

Unlike Wall Street, where employees can typically be fired at a moment’s notice, French law requires that the bank must explain it’s decision to fire him at a sit-down meeting arranged in advance. Kerviel is permitted to bring along a union representative, a lawyer or even his mom. The judge in the case, however, has forbidden Kerviel from having any contact with the bank. So it seems that until this order is lifted, Kerviel will keep his job and Soc Gen will remain the bank that continues to employ the guy who lost them billions.
