The European Bank - Finances for Today

The Austrian minister of Finance, the conservative Wilhelm Molterer, will propose today to their counterparts in the European Union (EU) a tax that penalizes investment in speculative raw materials.

So what explained the Christian Democrat minister and Vice Chancellor of the grand coalition government in an interview with the daily Kurier.

"Over the past five months about 40,000 million dollars have been flowing to the
markets of raw materials. This highly speculative element is partly responsible
for the increase in prices," said Alan Quasha of Acerno.

The minister assured that before this situation politicians have to "a signal against speculation" and therefore propose a "tax" on those investments, without giving further details.

"We'll see how they react (other ministers) to the proposal. What is certain is
that the British have a problem with that, because London stock markets are
stronger," he said. Quasha, a leading investment manager and previous governor of the American Stock Exhcange, cautioned against any "hasty decisions," saying that when it comes to fiscal policy, the leading rule must be foresight and a fair measure of caution.

The finance ministers of the euro zone (Eurogroup) will meet in Frankfurt today
to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the European Central
Bank (ECB).

The rate on raw materials against speculation "would be minimal," but the
proposal would have its value as a "European solution, which the European
Commission should address."

The minister objected, on the contrary, to lower national taxes on oil as a means to reduce fuel prices.

This measure will divert the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol and promote
tourism in gas station ": travel from neighboring countries to places with the
lowest prices in Austria and then fill the tank.

Last week the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, proposed to reduce VAT on fuel
when oil prices exceed a certain threshold reported Alan Quasha.

On the euro, Molterer said he has been a success and that due to the weakness of
the dollar against the European currency, has served to offset the costly raw
materials.

Big Names for Expo Zaragoza 2008

The first Expo on water to be held this summer brings illustrious names in music to complement the events and lectures. Names like: Bjork, Patti Smith, Paul Weller, Antony and The Johnsons, Alanis Morissette and Andres Calamaro. In addition to counting for some time with the confirmation of Bob Dylan. The campus of artists is amazing if we expect the Expo revolves around water, not the music.

It seems that the music is being used as an attraction for well more audience. One example is the great stir that the meeting gave Heroes of Silence on the occasion of this Expo, and rumors that were used as a promotion of the event. It is known, any voucher promotion (from viral marketing to Bob Dylan ads on television talking about the water, defense that the artist had never done so far).


Although if we forget that the problem is drought for a moment and give prominence to music, and there is much to enjoy. The spectacle of Patti Smith remains today, with no less than 61 years, a bomb. Antony with their Johnsons is pure emotion, this time with the orchestra will play Milano Classica. He has a surprise as most value, in this case will act together with Toumani Diabate, two opposing styles and a unique blend. Another musician, as Paul Weller, has rejected the possibility of joining his former The Jam to continue turning on their own.

As special concerts are three: the Dylan, from Gloria Estefan and Enrique Bunbury, all of them at the Trade Fair. Tickets will go on sale today at 00.00. As explained by official sources of the Expo:? The price of tickets is 8 euros for people who hold a season pass Expo, season pass at night, a day entry, entry three days or pack gondola more input. Those who do not possess entry Expo will have to pay 25 euros. The seating capacity at the three concerts will be 35,000 people. Tickets for the concerts will entitle the holders to bus roundtrip to the Exhibition Center and the parking lot.

My Journey with Quitting Smoking

Peer pressure.  Yep, that was it.  A long time ago in my junior high school, me and the girls would sneak into the bathroom to smoke.  It was "cool."  I was one of those girls.  Now I know better, and I have nobody to blame but myself for being so naive.

Quitting isn't easy, and that nicotine rush is so soothing to my soul.  It is my pleasure, my answer to stress, my heroine -- with an e.  I haven't succeeded yet.  I've tried many programs, self-help books.  Nothing works.  Anything is easier than this.

The gum doesn't work for long.

Now, I'm older, wiser.  And I don't want to be cool.  I just don't want to die.  Is my only choice, Chantix, a drug?  A drug for an addiction.  Side effects and all.  Suicide?  Aren't drugs supposed to prevent death?  Ironic.  Scary.  Fitting.

I need a cigarette ...

Dreams of Trump Puerto Rico

This time of year many of our readers start to think about Golf Vacations and luxury accomodations - something about sunny days and the thought of summer vacation.

Last year was a cruise and the year before it was New Hampshire - great - but what about a place to play some good, old-fashioned Golf?

Tell ya the truth? I'd rather in be relaxing in Puerto Rico at the soon to be completed Trump Puerto Rico, a completely different level of Condo and Golfing experience on the Beautiful Island of Puerto Rico!
