With its low cost of living, balmy climate and cheap property prices, Ecuador has been ranked the top foreign retirement destination for North Americans for the fifth consecutive year.
T h e S o u t h American nation bordered by Colombia and Peru scored the highest marks in an annual ranking of the best places to retire. With monthly estimated living expenses ranging from $900 to $1,400, Ecuador surpassed Panama, Malaysia, Mexico and Costa Rica, which rounded out the top five countries. "I think the combination of a welcoming culture, the great weather, the affordability and its proximity to the United States all go together to make it a good package," Dan Prescher, the special projects editor for the survey said. "Panama has a lot of the same things going for it, but it isn't quite as affordable as Ecuador," he added in an interview. The survey analyzed data and information from correspondents in the countries most popular with American and Canadian retirees to compile the results, which were based on a host of categories, cost of living, climate, property prices,

for retirees were Spanish speaking, including Uruguay, Colombia and Spain. Thailand, which placed ninth, was the only other Asian nation to make the top ten, thanks to its affordability, exotic locales and outdoor lifestyle. Although the language may differ, Prescher said retirees adapt easily because they usually choose a country with a culture familiar to them. "Most people know or can learn enough Spanish to get along," he added. Malta squeezed in at No. 10, winning points for its very low crime rate, Mediterranean climate and abundance of English speakers. English is the second language of Malta, which is a European Union member. Ireland, France, Portugal and Italy were other EU nations that made the ranking of 22 countries, along with the Philippines and New Zealand, which scored the worst for the cost of living, along with France, but ranked high for integration. "The places that have been popular with expats for the last five to 10 years tend to stay in the rankings unless something drastic happens, a big political or economic change," Prescher explained.

Shane Warne says he has been handed a "pretty harsh" penalty following his altercation with Marlon Samuels in Sunday night's Big Bash League match at the MCG.
Warne was banned for one match and fined $4,500 for his heated exchange with Samuels during the match between the Stars and the Renegades in front of a record crowd of 46,681. Warne and the Melbourne Stars have decided against appealing the penalty. A n g r y a t Samuels for having obstructed team-mate David Hussey running during the Stars' innings, Warne grabbed at the West Indian's shirt during the Renegades' run chase and the pair exchanged angry words. Moments later Warne, in an apparently deliberate act, hit Samuels with the ball when fielding near the batsman. This led Samuels to throw his bat in the air and invite Warne to engage in an extended physical exchange. Warne was charged with four alleged breaches under Cricket Australia's (CA) code of behaviour, although his fine only related to three offences. He was fined $3,000 for engaging in inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with another player and $1,000 for using obscene and offensive language. A $500 sanction was also

decision and given a suspended $1,000 fine. After the match Warne attempted to play down the incident, preferring to focus on the result with the Stars having suffered a nine-wicket loss to their cross-town rivals. "I tried to throw the ball to (wicketkeeper) Bobby Quiney and the next minute I decided to get out of the way of that bat," Warne said. "I'm more disappointed that we lost, that was just a heat of the moment thing. "That's just the way it goes, I hope he's OK." The latest incident has again put Samuels in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. A d e l a i d e Strikers coach Darren Berry will face a CA disciplinary hearing for an argument he had with with Samuels prior to last Wednesday night's match between the two sides. Brisbane Heat coach Darren Lehmann was given a suspended $3,000 fine and a reprimand for doubting the legality of Samuels' bowling action last month. Samuels was forced to retire hurt on 17 against the Stars after a top edge from a Lasith Malinga short-pitched delivery hit his helmet. He left the field bleeding under his eye socket and is set to miss the remainder of the tournament.
disappointed in some of my actions last night," he said. "But I'm also pretty disappointed with the severity of the penalties. I think that was pretty harsh." The Stars will consider their legal and appeal options in regard to the sanctions. Samuels has been handed two alleged breaches, including participating in "unbecoming behaviour". He is still to face his disciplinary hearing. Warne's Stars team-mate Cameron White was also charged

Ask Martha
Dear Martha,
I spent 2 weeks on holiday in Bali over Xmas & New Year; it was fantastic except for the traffic. The traffic in Bali was horrendous in all the usual tourist spots & at Simpang Siur. It -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------was in total grid lock in Kuta on New Year's Day & was consistently slow & hazardous at Simpang Siur whenever we went that way not to mention the airport which was a total disaster! I appreciate that an underpass & tollway are currently under construction, however, will this really fix the traffic problem? I would suggest that it is a short term fix & given 3 years it will be back to the chaotic mess that it is now. Somebody somewhere has to be accountable for the traffic -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------congestion that I saw whilst holidaying there, apart from it taking 2 hours to get from Jimbaran beach to Kuta (which is totally unacceptable), the roads are dangerous with bikes & cars vying for 'pole position' at traffic lights, bikes just pulling out without looking & police cars driving on the wrong Included Transport, Lunch side of the road with sirens blazing to get through Winners Trophy & Champagne the traffic. I can only describe the roads in Bali as a KUTA TOWNHOUSES @ 0361-761464, 081337207304 mess!

"I can't believe it and I've got to thank the Sydney crowd so much because they've been absolutely fantastic. "There's always pressure, that's what Test cricket is all about.

THEY'RE as Aussie as meat pies, kangaroos and footy, so it makes no sense that Austria holds the world record for thong-racing.

Scientists and broadcasters in Japan say they have captured footage of an elusive giant squid up to eight metres long that roams the depths of the Pacific Ocean.
Japan's National Science Museum succeeded in filming the deep-sea creature in its natural habitat for the first time, working with Japanese public broadcaster NHK and the US Discovery Channel. They spotted the squid at a depth of 630 metres using a submersible in July, some 15 kilometres east of Chichi island in the north Pacific Ocean. The submarine with three people on board, including Tsunemi Kubodera from the museum, followed the enormous mollusc to a depth of 900 metres as it swam into the ocean abyss.
