According to News 24 the damage of the earthquake in Japan has risen to $34bn, why everything has to be associated with American Dollars is beyond me. Why not the British Pound? Or even the controlling currency in Europe which as a matter of fact is stronger than the Dollar the Euro? Washington - The massive earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan will exact a massive economic toll estimated at between $14.5bn and $34.6bn, a leading risk analysis firm said on Sunday.AIR Worldwide (AIR) said its catastrophe modelling showed that property losses from Friday's disaster is preliminary, but estimates insured property losses likely will be "between $14.5bn and $34.6bn". link http://n24.cm/gF5Yfs Anyhoo, my feeling on this is sure, it’s sad, people died, and the world as a whole will suffer from this atrocity. However I must state categorically that I firmly believe in Karma and she is a Bitch sometimes. Do unto those as you would want done unto you. Case in point, the money Japanese whalers make from killing innocent mammals on a daily basis and here’s the kicker, from the SEA.
Real Madrid Football coach Jose Mourinho is highly upset with the Spanish Football Association and blames the association for basically rigging fixtures and favouring the clubs arch enemies Barcelona .He also blamed the league for less rest between games and also that Real Madrid who he coaches play more 22:00 time slotted games than Barcelona. Grow up Jose, just because your teams been clubbed silly by Barcelona and you are wasting the President and boards money doesn’t necessitate a bludgeoning of the SFA. Madrid – Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has backed Jose Mourinho in his complaints over the Spanish league fixtures schedule, which the Portuguese coach argues works in Barcelona's favour. Mourinho has repeatedly complained in recent weeks that Real have less time for rest between matches than arch-rivals and league leaders Barcelona.

In other football related news, Sir Alex Ferguson looks ready to offload his world class and England’s no1 striker Wayne “Shrek” Rooney. In a story not somewhat dissimilar to the hoax created by the two just before the January transfer window where Rooney wanted out and then decided to stay at the last minute, it seems now his greatest admirer Sir Alex is sick and tired of his shit and wants him out. I (see previous Blogs) am a staunch Chelsea supporter and would not mind seeing him travel to the Bridge. A change of scenery and a different mindset might do him all the good in the world. Luckily his wife isn’t nearly as attractive and he shouldn’t worry about that. For the full story here’s the link.

In all seriousness, one must feel for the victims of any natural disaster and as such I felt compelled to add this to my blog for today. Not as many as Haiti or as nearly as enough as the Boxing day Tsunami, The Japanese Quake which has now been upgraded to a 9.0 on the Richter scale claimed more than 10000 lives in Japans tiny Miagi district. Here’s the link. http://bit.lyho8tzs
Lastly I will leave you with a few thoughts to ponder about things changing in this truly majestic world we live in. The times they are a changing, there is no doubt about that. Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Tsunami’s, flooding, the Proteas beating India in the Cricket World Cup, or better yet the Lions beating the Cheetahs in the Super 15, the formers first victory in 19 games.
I will also leave you with a link to before and after pictures of Japan in the aftermath of the 9.0 earthquake. www.boingboing.net/2011/03/12/japan-quake-and-tsun.html
