Open Question: Icc should step in to save Calypso say Buchanan - What do you think?

Former Australian coach John Buchanan has called on the International Cricket Council (ICC) to launch a dramatic "intervention" to save West Indian cricket. Buchanan believes the West Indies are "crying out for help" and has urged the International Cricket Council to step in with a rapid-fire injection of funds, manpower and other resources. "The ICC must intervene in West Indian cricket ... it is a massive job but a strong West Indian team is essential for the future of world cricket," The Courier Mail quoted Buchanan, as saying. "They need to work out how all the problems there can best be attacked over the shortest period of time ... even if the ICC diverts resources away from other countries. The West Indies has been crying out for help over a long period of time. It is a major concern that the performance and the consistency of the Test side has been so inconsistent and abysmal," he added. The West Indies are in a shambolic state on and off the field, having won just two of their past 40 Tests dating back to mid-2005. They have also been torn apart by a recent players' strike and were barely competitive when they were flogged in the first Test at the Gabba. However the underlying problem is the cricket infrastructure in the Caribbean, with ramshackle training facilities, poor grounds and curators, a woeful domestic structure and a lack of quality coaches and administrators. Buchanan says the warning signs have been there for ages. He does not advocate the ICC stripping the West Indian board of its control but claims the ICC must have a "major say" in the direction of Caribbean cricket. Is he attempting to stay in the limelight?

Open Question: Urgent Accounting Test Problem Help Please. Thank you!?

This is a test problem I need some help with. It's due by 12 o clock eastern time Dec 2, Wednesday. The question is as follows: On January 1, 2007, the Summit Company sold 12% bonds having a maturity value of $500,000 in a 10% market, (to yield 10%). The bonds are dated January 1, 2007 and mature on January 1, 2012, with interest payable on January 1st and July 1st over it's life. Summit allocated interest and unamortized discount or premium on the effective interest basis. Instructions: 1. Calculate the present value of this bond issue (note: market rate is 10%) 2. Prepare the journal entry at the date of bond issuance 3. Prepare a schedule of interest expense and bond amortization for the life of this bond. 4. If the summit company decides to pay off all of these bonds on July 1, 2010 with $515,000 cash, would there be a gain or loss on the redemption of these bonds? How much would this gain or loss be?

Open Question: Do you think that this girl is interested in me and likes me?

We are both 18. I have known this girl for a month and a half. We have been on "two dates" and have hung out once. Our last date was 15 days ago and at the end of the night I kissed her on the cheek and she said "awww thats sweet" and kissed me back on the cheek. I texted her on sunday after not textin her for 4 days and I said.. Me: how u been...how was ur thanksgiving?? Her: Ooo look who it isss ive been goood. thanksgiving was great. how bout uu Then I texted her on Monday and this is how our convo went..does it sound like she is interested in me from reading this?

I was thinking about calling her on friday to confirm plans for saturday does that sound like a good idea? We used to text every other day but I think that is getting played out. I think waiting till Friday is a good idea especially since this is the week before finals.

Open Question: I found out my boyfriend is talking to his ex in an intimate way... what do I do?

Well, I don't know how far it's gone. We've been dating two and a half years... and lately his communication and romantic gestures have been much slower and far between. This guy is all about being cutesy with his girl... so it kind of made me suspicious and sad when he started calling less and said "I love you" less and all. I've been chalking it up to his recent move to a new country (keeping us long-distance) and his intense grad-school program. Both of those things are severe changes to anyone's lifestyle and can keep you busier than ever. (I know he's been doing a lot of class-related orientation and field-trip type stuff). That said, I've always been a bit wary of his ex girlfriend. They broke up right before we dated... but she's always seemed to weasel her way into his life. She used to email him asking advice about job applications in his field... and basically trying to be as close to him as possible considering they're not romantically involved. He's always been cordial to her and fairly upfront with me about it... and because their parents are good friends, even helpful to her when required. He visited me this weekend and tried his hardest to keep his phone away from him (or off) while I was in the same room as him. I did the worst thing possible as a gf, and checked it while he was in the shower. In his texts was a message from his ex-gf in a different language (they're native german speakers).... the same ex-gf who he had told me he hadn't spoken to in over a year. I was obviously shaken by him hiding this from him and confronted him about it when he got out of the shower (admitting that I shouldn't have gone through his texts, but what I found was equally as bad). I told him I didn't care if they talked... as long as he was honest with me about it - hiding anything only makes it seem like you're doing something wrong! He told me that she had asked him for help about grad school applications and he didn't want to cause a fight with us and so he didn't tell me about it. He told me the text read "Can you help me?" I forgot about it and we had a great Thanksgiving weekend together. After he left to go back across the country... I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't quite right about the situation. So I went on a translation site and looked up the text that his ex had sent him. It read "Have you arrived safely?" -- I confirmed this with yahoo and another native speaker. This implies that they're chatting in more than a need-to basis. And really, I don't think an ex gf should be texting him about his arriving safely unless she knew his flight plans and they cared about each other enough to do so. I certainly don't text anyone about their flights unless it's a family member or someone coming to see me. This is freaking me out. Honestly, I can't help but think that they've become intimate again and he's hiding it from me. It makes me even more worried because he goes back to his hometown in Germany in a week (where she lives).... and has been wary about meeting my parents and stalling on buying his next flight to see me (saying that he has to wait for his spring school schedule). Also: A few weeks ago, he told me about how he went out with one of his friends who is also an international student. His friend had asked him for advice about his women problem. Apparently said friend had been in a relationship for two years... and fell in love with a different girl at home (specifically "a girl he wanted to marry and have children with")... and was holding onto his girlfriend in case this new girl rejected him. I'm starting to get paranoid and think that this was a story that HE told his friend... not the other way around. What do I do?
