Captian's log, Star date unknown. The crew has become restless every since we stop at the interstellar Burrito Shack... The crew is becoming unhappy and so is my stomach. Excuse me for one second.
Just a news story today that I found interesting. Hope you enjoy this and I will not be posting this weekend. I am currently finishing up the papers I have to turn in April 24th and Monday the 30th. So please leave comments on the news story and what you think of it.

Asian tycoon left legacy to fortune-teller: report by Stephanie Wong
Thu Apr 19, 2:51 PM ET

HONG KONG (AFP) - Asia's richest woman left her wealth to her fortune-teller in her last known will, Hong Kong media reported Thursday, predicting a costly legal battle to control her multi-billion-dollar estate. Nina Wang, who died aged 69 earlier this month and had no children, left a legacy estimated as worth at least 4.2 billion US dollars after transforming her company Chinachem into a real estate empire. A day after her lavish funeral Wednesday, two wills she allegedly wrote in 2002 and 2006 were published separately in Next Magazine and its sister Apple Daily publication. The 2002 document said Wang's fortune would go to her charitable trust. But the later version named her personal fortune teller, Chan Chun Chuen, as the beneficiary. Citing unnamed sources close to her family, Apple Daily said the relatives -- Wang is survived by two younger sisters and a brother as well as in-laws -- and senior aides were unfamiliar with Chan and upset by the new will and were set to take the issue to court. Wang's 2006 will said Chan would be sole beneficiary of her entire estate and would determine the distribution of her fortune. The document, in English, showed Chan's identification number and date of birth and also said the 47-year-old would use her estate in a "good and proper way," according to Apple Daily. It added: "My will is established entirely and wholeheartedly for the need and good of my family and loved ones. It is my great appreciation that my will could be announced fairly and righteously as stated." Albert Ho, a laywer who has experience in dealing with inheritance cases, said the later document could easily be challenged in court on the basis that Wang, ill from cancer, may have written it under undue influence. "The court would have a presumption that she was under undue influence," he told AFP.

I edited the news story because it was very long. So this revision only gives the general gest of the story. She leaves her estate and money to her personal fortune teller and I believe that the family is taking this to court this year. Hopefully she was not under the infleunce of someone just looking to gain money from her when she was sick.

That's all for today and I will see you guys on Monday! Wish me luck ^__^!
