| Your Comments : Natives misuse $40m: Ganilau
So we bank on our income from working the tourism industry to survive. Ranjit Singh of Nadi (61 days and 14 hours ago) The reporting maybe misquoting Ratu Ganilau. I pay $180.00 a year after a downpayment of $2,000.00. I have no idea how much of that money is coming the landonwner after NLTB takes out their share. It can be hard to swallow that kind of figure tossed around; in the millions especially when you take into account not only the NLTB cut but also that many tenants do not pay their rents. I think to solve the problem across the board we have to be honest in our all parties. The tenants, the NLTB, the chiefs. My personal view is to let me pay direct to my landowner's house. Truth & Freedom of New Zealand (61 days and 14 hours ago) The 40m sounds very big indeed but when the money goes around the mataqali it is not really much left.

Waterworks general manager L.D. McMullen retired in December after about 30 years with the utility. .

Nice slap at former Magic coach Brian Hill, who is now an assistant in New Jersey helping Lawrence Frank do the same thing to the Nets.
Has Shaq's star finally faded?
With fan voting concluding today, Shaquille O'Neal's streak making an All-Star roster appears all but over. Orlando's Dwight Howard has a 2-1 lead in the voting, and Toronto's Chris Bosh is expected to be selected by coaches as the reserve center. O'Neal has been selected to the All-Star Game every year there has been one during his 15-year career. The exception was the lockout-shortened 1999 season.
Heat coach Pat Riley is perhaps the only person in the NBA who believes Shaq deserves consideration based on his body of work.
