It looks like Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks and currently bidding to be the Cubs owner) is in trouble with the SCC.
The SCC has recently accused him of insider trading. Apparently he dumped 600,000 shares of Mamma.com just prior to an announcement that heavily diluted the shares. Coincedence? Time will tell.

Thinking of holidays to Cuba? Cuba has more to offer than any of the other Caribbean Islands. The locals are friendly, charming and welcome you with a smile. The heritage of Cuba is as rich as are the monuments and palaces throughout the country. A Cuban Holiday is without a doubt one to consider.
Cuba is a bit of an enigma for many people. For some, it is a socialist country, dedicated to the world revolution. For others it is simply a beautiful, but poor holiday destination.
Che Guevara, the face on a million t-shirts, is of course the revolutionary most associated with this island. His life has been the subject of many biographies and much comment. He is an icon for millions of people
The Mavericks let injury ridden Darius Miles workout for them. If he signs anywhere and plays in 10 or more games, the Blazers owe him a nine million dollar salary.

The H. Upmann cigars can actually be found in two separate companies that share the same name. The first of these is manufactured in Cuba and the other is made in the Dominican Republic. The only thing that these two cigar companies really share is a name and when most people think of the H. Upmann cigar brand, they consider the one that is rolled in Havana, Cuba.
Reflections of Fidel:
SEVEN days ago I wrote about one of the great men in history: Salvador Allende, a man the world remembered with deep emotion and respect on his first centennial. However, no one quivered or even recalled the date of October 24, 1891, when the Dominican despot Rafael Leonidas Trujillo was born, eighteen years before our admired Chilean brother.

New Cuban president Raul Castro has commuted all but three death sentences to 30 years or life sentences. The three not commuted have been convicted of terrorism. Two were charged with bombing hotels in the last decade.The third is a Cuban American charged with murder. Castro said: "This does not mean we have eliminated the death penalty from the penal code. It would be irresponsible and ingenuous to renounce the dissuasive power that capital punishment has..."He added: "This decision was not undertaken because of pressure, but as a sovereign act in line with the humanitarian and ethical conduct that has characterized the Cuban revolution from the start."

3 Cuban Cigar Buying Commandmentsby Trevor WallaceThe best cigars in the world come from Cuba, also known as Cuban Cigars. If you set out to buy real Cubans on the internet, I'm afraid knowing that isn't enough. Since their are so many vultures on the internet selling fake Cuban cigars, I would like to share three things that you must be aware of before purchasing a Cuban Cigar off the internet. As buying from a fake online retailer may not only cause you the pain of smoking fake Cubans, but you can also be a victim of identity theft. If you've never smoked real Cuban Cigars, than this should be a must read for your. After all, you don't want to share fake Cuban cigars with someone who has smoke real Cubans before. They can spot the difference as soon as the Cigars are lit.See you have to

I especially like these songs recorded for CMQ radio in Havana. The sound quality is very good, and listening to the announcers and artists kid around is fun. Conjunto Casino was one of the top ten B.C. Cuban bands. In fact, in doing research, I noticed a few of their cds I'd like to purchase.

This excellent CD is from 1959. In January of that year, optimism and uncertainty accompanied every Cuban as he walked along the beautiful countryside or teeming Havana. Fulgencio Batista had just decided that his position was no longer tenable as he lost support from the United States who had decided to refuse him any way of acquiring arms as well as most Cubans who wanted cleaner government. "Los Barbudos" or the "bearded ones" led by the suitably unshorn Fidel Castro easily filled the vacuum in the politically abandoned capital. It was only later that Castro declared his intention to "progress" Cuba to the state it's in now.
The songs on this album provide one with the optimism prevalent in the beginning of the revolution like the song here. Other songs are called things like "land

Are Cubans romantic? Ha! Below are my favorite Cuban love songs. To qualify, the songs have to be of... 1. ...a caballero wooing a senorita (I'll give the young lady the benefit of the doubt.) or singing of his very special chica or... 2. ...a senorita's amorous rapture- no cheating, loveless lust, unrequited or lost love, just the powerful pull of that most delicious emotion. Warning: To avoid embarrassment (irresistible PDA urge), make sure you're not in a public place while listening:
