Sorry I had to gloat because of the timeing, and the situation...guy goes to jail, goes to trial, electricity on his home is cut off just as the weather is getting cooler, but I'm sorry, I just can't feel sorry for Slobodan Milosevic. That's asking too much of me...

Milosevic is cut off
SERBIA'S power company has cut off electricity to the family home of the former president Slobodan Milosevic because of unpaid bills.
The state-run supplier said the family owed about 480,000 dinars (£4,000) and the house in Pozarevac, central Serbia, would be left without power unless the bills were paid.
Milosevic is being tried at the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, for fomenting the Balkan wars of the 1990s.
A story from BBC about the list that the Serbian government put out a list of the people involved in perpetrating the massacre at Srebenica. This makes me wonder how many further immigration raids we may see in the U.S. over connections to Srebenica.

Srebrenica massacre list compiled
Srebrenica massacre grave
Many victims found in mass graves have been reburied
The Bosnian Serb government has drawn up a list of 19,473 Serb soldiers who operated in the region of Srebrenica at the time of the massacre there in 1995.
The secret list, compiled since 2003, includes almost 900 people still thought to be working for the Bosnian Serb government, army or police.
It will be forwarded to the state prosecutor's office for review.
More than 7,000 Muslim men and boys died when Bosnian Serb troops overran the UN-protected enclave in 1995.
The disclosure is part of an ongoing process instigated by the international community to force the Bosnian Serb government to acknowledge and account for the war crimes committed at Srebrenica, the BBC's Matt Prodger says.
Prosecution aid
Not every single person on it was directly involved in the massacre, our correspondent says.
The list also steers clear of apportioning responsibility onto people involved in the massacre.

Many have not yet come to terms with the loss of loved ones
But it does include people previously identified as giving orders for the killings and the actual executioners.
Authorities have pledged to investigate the roles of the 892 people who are still understood to be holding official positions in the autonomous Bosnian Serb republic.
The list is also supposed to provide Bosnian prosecutors with a fuller picture of how the crimes were perpetrated.
The head of the Bosnian Serb army at the time, Ratko Mladic, and his civilian counterpart, Radovan Karadzic, have been charged with genocide over Srebrenica.
But they remain fugitives thought to be hiding in Bosnia or neighbouring Serbia and Montenegro.
The massacre in eastern Bosnia is considered the worst single atrocity in Europe since World War II.

TUZLA, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Forensic experts have recovered the remains of 213 victims of Europe's worst massacre since World War II, an official said Tuesday.
The mass grave in the northeastern Bosnia village of Liplje has so far been found to contain "212 incomplete (bodies) and one complete body," said Murat Hurtic, the head of the forensic team.
In 1995, Serb troops overran the eastern Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica, which had been declared a safe zone by the United Nations, and killed as many as 8,000 Muslim men and boys.
The bodies found Tuesday were originally buried elsewhere but later dug up by bulldozer and moved to Liplje to cover up the massacre, Hurtic said. About 1,000 victims were found in four other mass graves previously discovered in Liplje, Hurtic said.
After the remains are found, DNA is extracted from the bones of victims and matched with DNA from living relatives. Thousands of victims from the 1992-95 Bosnian war have been identified this way, Hurtic said.
Over the years, U.N. and local forensics experts in Bosnia have exhumed 16,500 bodies from more than 300 mass graves. Thousands of people remain missing and are presumed dead.
About 260,000 people were killed and 1.8 million driven from their homes during the 1992-1995 war, which pitted Bosnia's Muslims, Catholic Croats and Orthodox Serbs against one another.

Nurses ordered to wear skirts
Nurses in a Croatian hospital have been ordered to go back to wearing skirts instead of trousers after complaints from patients.
Some nurses at the town hospital in Firule had been wearing trousers while on duty, but patients had complained they looked untidy and unprofessional.
Hospital director Dujomir Marasovic has now written to inform all female staff of the skirts only rule.
He told local media: "We want to put everything in order here in the hospital.
"We want all nurses to wear the same clothes and we have imposed a rule which says they should wear skirts. The length of those skirts, be they mini skirts or otherwise, is up to the nurses."
I am of the opinion that nurses are better off if they have the option to wear slacks, because a knee length or shorter skirt could go up if the nurse lifts someone! I prefer skirts myself, but NOT short ones! And I think there have to be common sense exceptions to rules. Surgical nurses in the U.S. mostly wear pants. There is nothing unprofessional about it.
