Madrid disappointment in Belgrade

Final Olympic unleashed a wave of complaints about the arbitration action. It was incomprehensible that the arbitrators, two of them European, not observe the number of steps that the U.S. team by taking advantage of committing it. It was normal that FIBA had ordered greater permissiveness as the Team USA. What I can not understand is that the Euroleague allow like the one he lived in Belgrade in Pioneer's defeat by Real Madrid 81-77. [Story]

Two Italians

arbitrators, Guerrino Cerebuch and Carmelo Paterno, and a Greek, Nikolaos Pitsilkas, offered an exercise in laziness and lack of professionalism that puts both the arbitration between two questions of considerable size. Real Madrid lost to Partizan for the first time because of the trio arbitration. It is true that whites were the worst image that reminds all white since Joan Plaza occupies his bench, but the fact remains that they had a chance to win aborted by the trio arbitration.

Bad defense and worse attack. So the game that could be defined starred Real Madrid. Only Sergio Llull and Quinton Hosley will abulia rid of the table shown by Madrid. The performance of targets in Belgrade was simply unfortunate. The incumbents would be very different from having a rival broader front. To leave, the difference was only six points, but if the opponent is known as Panathinaikos, Barcelona or CSKA, to name a few, the disadvantage could have amounted to figures of historical record.

But there are also substantive reasons. Hervelle, Bullock, Mumbr, Massey and Pepe Sanchez are totally out of shape, or maybe missing link between new and coming from the , the issue is not an offer or ten percent of their actual performance. In addition, Papadopulos continues in his usual line since he arrived in the Spanish capital and Venson Hamilton is not yet compete for more than a few minutes.

Too many drawbacks to travel around Europe with minimum guarantees which despite the Real Madrid could win. The reaction to the round of the cloakrooms of the hands of Hosley and Llull, supported by Felipe Reyes and Papadopoulos, gave the whites up to eight point lead. The referees were ordered to abort such a difference and not let the whites add its second victory in the Euroleague.

Ex-Yukos lawyer Svetlana Bakhmina transferred to the prison hospital. It is seven months pregnant

Former Yukos lawyer Svetlana Bakhmina, who until recently was in colony, the colony moved to number 21, which is a prison hospital.

It is reported the site to "Favorites" with reference to a source at the Office of Federal Enforcement Service of the Republic of Mordovia. We know that it moved even a week ago. On the causes of hospitalization are not reported. However, the site said that Svetlana Bakhmina is now in the seventh month of pregnancy.

- How can the pregnancy was made possible in the colony
- Children Bakhmina did not know that she was in custody

Recall September 10, Zubov-Polyansky District Court repeatedly refused Bakhmina in parole, despite the positive characteristics of the colony and the lack of penalties in the past two years.

Meanwhile, site favorites interview with a person close to the family of Svetlana Bakhmina, but wish to remain unknown. The source described the latest court more: they thought that Svetlana "is not on the path of corrections and did not make a respect for society and man." This conclusion was reached because it had during those years had four penalties. However, they have long been "liquidated" because they were made over a year ago. A three-promotion, which just received in the last year, the court decided not to take into account.

Violations, which were imposed these sanctions are. First there were still in Moscow, PTDC: Svetlana "is not set to rise." The second incident occurred ibid. - was found " relationship, which is reflected in the fact that some lady, who was formerly with Svetlana in the same room, trying to her from the window. The third penalty was imposed at the entrance to the colony. When searched after taking the stage at Bakhmina SIM-card for a mobile phone. The very Bakhmina said eÑ drop at a time as any man does not need a SIM-card without the phone. However, this Svetlana was penalized ten days a punishment cell, where ten days lost eight kilos, tells a source.

The fourth is the recovery of Svetlana Bakhmina gained, rising one floor above passage Staircase, where its dormitories, and talked with someone from the convicts. And it was the territory of another group, as it turned out, and stay there can be only with the permission of the administration of the colony. She simply did not know.

Since then the penalties will no longer be, but were five promotions, two of which - already the summer after refusing to UDO. Manual colony against the UDO did not object: it gave a good description and an application for the release of support. Incidentally, in May and the public prosecutor had no objection to the release Bakhmina. But the judge ignored it. Lawyers appealed the decision, and July 30, their complaint was heard in the Supreme Court of Canada.

The source also noted that the court had given assurances: Bahminu have to work immediately after the liberation. It is also important because the employment of former prisoners are usually problematic.

How is it possible pregnancy in the colony

The journalists' questions about how to become pregnant during the detention, a person close to the family of Bakhmina, said that prisoners once a quarter, given a long visit: a spouse can come for three days. All the while the family lived in a room, conditions there as in a dormitory. In addition, Svetlana, in March awarded leave. (What, too, confirms: it in the colony on the good). She came home, get in touch with family, with children. But this is a rare case.

The source also suggests that in situations of pregnancy Court refused to UDO, as was a direct reference. But perhaps the case in judicial mentality ": the team did not produce, and the judge simply decided not to take the humane decision, given the outcome of the court on UDO Khodorkovsky.

Childbirth it to be in difficult conditions: at Mordovia in the territory Zubov-Polyanskogo area centered about twenty colonies. Of these, three - women. All of a hospital, where there is a maternity hospital. There, and have concluded - it happens constantly. There is a separate colony number 2, where nursing mothers with children. When a child , you can leave with them in the colony - there is a boarding school, and you can give to relatives. How come Svetlana, she has not yet been decided: it is now the main make and give birth to healthy children (in October it will be 39 years old).

However, women's colony benefits differ from men's because there are no restrictions on transfers, so all who come to it - lawyers, relatives, friends - trying products to the maximum.

Children Bakhmina did not know that she was in custody

Two children who were left with Svetlana Bakhmina, are still unaware that their mother is in prison. Videla it their all this time only once - in March, during the holiday itself. They say that my mother in overseas business trip. When Svetlana arrested eldest son was seven years old. It was not the first time any connection, and he thought that my mother died. Because before that it had never left a long time, and if left, it is often called, tells a source. Youngest child was three years old, and when she arrived, he did not recognize her.

"When she was on leave in March, the children from her just a step or not to depart: his hands of it kept vsÑ time. Not to believe it - not only voice from the phone. It has all the time he calls, in the colony there are phones, which are allowed to call a certain number of times a month "- cites" Favorite "the story of this man.

In doing so, children go to regular schools, the staff that makes every effort to not traumatize them. There are people who naturally do vsÑ not to traumatize the children. Director and cool heads all know and treated with compassion. In addition, Bakhmina last name in marriage is not changed, and the children her husband's name, so they directly with the case are not synonymous.

"Light is hoped that it let on UDO, and she herself will gather in the school and give it the first of September. She has such, we can say that it should make my mom. By the way, precisely because of the children, she asked lawyers to limit contacts with the press - that little has been talked about. It had hoped to go before they will know the truth "- told reporters.

The real income of residents of Moscow for the first time in recent years dropped

Real cash incomes in Moscow and four other regions of Russia for the first time in recent years dropped. According to Rosstat for the first half of 2008, in Moscow, a decrease in real income for the year was 1.6%. Despite the continuing high growth in nominal income, inflation reduced the real incomes of Moscow faster, writes Kommersant.

As the edition, in Moscow on cash income is still among the highest in the country (34 thousand rubles. In a month against 13.6 thousand rubles. On average). In doing so, the head of the Institute for Social Policy HSE Sergei Smirnov notes slowdown in earnings and said that the growth seen in recent years, "no longer in sight."

"Inflation is clearly influenced by the braking income - no one anticipated that inflation this year will be nearly 15%, is substantially higher than last year" - he notes.

However, the answer to the question, what is happening in Moscow, a reference to inflation does not. Rosstat The data showed that inflation in Moscow slightly different from - 8,6 to 8,7% in the first half of 2008. Revenues considerably deflated. But Rosstat considers cash income through the balance of income and expenditure population - and calculate it correctly is very difficult, "- said a leading economist of the Center for Economic and Financial Research (CEFIR) Irina Denisova.

Under the cash income Rosstat understands not only wages but also pensions, scholarships, all kinds of benefits, as well as revenues from business activities and investments.

"But all of these proceeds in shares of real income is not a very big component, they may not be so down growth", - said Irina Denisova. However, some of the experts polled believe that a proportion of revenue affected the growth of income. For example, among recorded as income decreased income in the form of dividends and income as a percentage of deposits.

A methodology Rosstat there are other weaknesses. "The costs more accurately observed factor than income. But Rosstat very difficult question is how to assess the cash proceeds for expenses. It plays the role of a factor that, for example, in Moscow spend not only Muscovites, but also residents of Moscow" -- said Director of the Inter-institutional center of socio-economic dimensions of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Kiruta. Moreover, could affect that Muscovites are increasingly traveling and possibly increasing the proportion of income spent abroad.

In other words, the data do not yet permit Rosstat confidently assert that rising incomes in Russia and Moscow's really stops. Nevertheless, the risk that exists and is increasing - particularly in regions heavily dependent on foreign trade activities. Sooner or later it will affect the welfare of their residents.

It is the eighth time that celebrates a World Cup, but after the fiasco of 2006 and 2007, what was almost a habit had become an obsession. Rossi needed to be champion again, I wanted to prove to the skeptics, and above all to itself, which was able to hold on the emerging thrust of the pilots.

The latest

Careers had developed a fairly predictable script for the Japanese Grand Prix. Valentino would be ending its champion, at least in third place. In the event that Stoner did not win, the chances were shot. The circumstances of race allowed the Italian to take it in stride. Nicky Hayden and Jorge Lorenzo disappeared from his head too soon, leaving alone Stoner, Pedrosa and Rossi.

The price of gas for Ukraine will be above 250 dollars, "Naftogaz did not pay for the delivered declare at the secretariat Yushchenko

The price of imported gas for Ukraine in 2009 will be higher than budgeted country projections of $ 250 per thousand cubic meters, believed in the secretariat of the Ukrainian president, RIA "Novosti".

Naftogaz of Ukraine will receive gas at the new price, which I think they will not even 250 dollars, as the Government predicts, "- said on Friday authorized the President on international energy security Bohdan Sokolovsky.

At the same time, according to Sokolovsky, NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy has not paid part of the imported gas from Russia, which has been uploaded into underground gas storage (UGS) in 2008, so the fuel can go into the ownership of Russian Gazprom .

It is about 14 billion cubic meters. "If these amounts are not paid, the NAKu will have no choice other than pay these amounts on the balance of Gazprom and, with effect from 1 January (2009) buy it for the price, which says Gazprom - quoted Sokolovsky Agency.

But he noted that there is a real possibility that those levels due to non-payment could be transferred to a Russian holding company and will be acquired in 2009 Naftogaz "at a price higher than reflected in the arrangements for 2008 (179.5 dollars per thousand cubic meter).

The annual gas balance of Ukraine is about 70-75 billion cubic meters, of which 20 billion - its own gas production. The price of imported gas in 2008 at 179.5 dollars per thousand cubic meters. Kiev hopes that in 2009 it will not exceed $ 300 (in the state budget for next year laid the price of 250 dollars per thousand cubic meters).

However, the head of Gazprom Alexei Miller earlier did not rule out that gas for Ukraine will cost $ 400. Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko expects to sign an agreement with Russia on gas deliveries next year to the end of October this year.

This first S4 was powered by an engine of five-cylinder in-line, 2.2 liter displacement and an output of 230 hp.

The second Audi S4, the first that actually corresponded with the A4 and not with the Audi 100 - came in 1997 with a propellant of six cylinders in V with 265 horses. This was followed by a new generation born in 2003, which included a novelty as eight-cylinder engine with 344 hp V, and another in 2006 - with a different aesthetic and also eight-cylinder engine and the same power.

Audi has left the engine from eight cylinders in V for another less-cylinder with Cubic intention to reduce consumption. And he has succeeded. The S4, with a propellant of six cylinders in V and three liters of engine capacity achieves the same power and spends less than the previous S4 with an engine from eight cylinders in V and 4.2 liters.

Return to the six-cylinder

In particular we are talking about a mechanical six cylinders in V, with 2995 cubic centimeters, an output of 333 hp and a torque of 440 Nm. 2,500 revolutions.

What makes this device different is that it has been added to a differential gear in the semi-right as in the left side. This gear is attached to the semi-differential and a multi-clutch. Finally, all movements of the axis are controlled by large number of sensors.

In this way, at the time in which a shaft turns more than another, the differential is capable of blocking the shaft and necessary send up to 100% of torque to a single axis. The conclusion is that before driving a sport, the driver will have to work less with the steering wheel and at the same time, enjoy greater lateral acceleration and see how decrease the risk of an or .

Finally, the new S4 will also include a device called "Audi drive select 'which is in charge of controlling the map for managing the throttle response, the regime change as well as the sportsmanship of the address.
