Augusta, Ga. - The ball hadn't even reached the bottom of the cup when the tears started to flow. By the time he embraced his caddie, Bubba Watson was in meltdown mode, shoulders heaving, no words coming and none necessary.
He had just nudged in a short putt to win the 76th Masters on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff with South African Louis Oosthuizen, finishing with a par that was part circus act, part Easter Sunday miracle.
"I've never had a dream go this far," Watson said, "so I can't really say it's a dream come true."
Watson, 33, of Bagdad, Fla., was the last man standing after another wild finish at the Augusta National Golf Club. The final round included a historic double-eagle by Oosthuizen, a disastrous triple-bogey by Phil Mickelson, two holes-in-one and the ninth sudden-death playoff in tournament history.
It ended after Watson hooked a 52-degree wedge some 40 yards onto the 10th green from the right trees and two-putted from 12 feet, tickling the first putt down the slope to within inches in fading sunlight.
"I had no idea where he was," said Oosthuizen, who made a mess of the hole and couldn't save par from the back of the green. "Where I stood when the ball came out, it looked like a curve ball. Unbelievable shot."
Before Watson tapped in the winning putt, he held out his hand to shush thousands of murmuring spectators gathered around the green. He said he thought momentarily about I.K. Kim, who missed a 1-foot putt for the title April 2 at the Kraft Nabisco Championship and then lost in a playoff.
"I hate to say this, but that young lady who missed the putt, I thought about it," Watson said. "I wanted to make sure I focused hard on that putt because I knew how delicate these situations are and how this may never happen again."
No worries. Watson tapped in and embraced his caddie, Ted Scott, and then his mother, Mollie. Rickie Fowler and Ben Crane also walked onto the green to hug Watson, who was overcome with emotion.
His wife, Angie, was back in Florida with the son the couple is adopting. They had brought home Caleb just 13 days earlier. Now, a plane was waiting for Watson and he was in a hurry to get home.
Not many men have won the Masters one day and changed their first diaper the next.
Watson (68) and Oosthuizen (69) tied at 10-under-par 278 in regulation. Watson won $1.4 million from the purse of $8 million. He became the fifth left-hander to win the Masters in the last 10 years.
It was Watson's fourth career victory, and it will change his life.
"I don't play the game for fame," he said. "I don't try to win tournaments for fame. I don't do any of that. It's just me. I'm just Bubba."
It's often said that the Masters doesn't begin until the back nine on Sunday but this time the fireworks started early. Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion and playing in the penultimate pairing with Watson, holed a 4-iron from 235 yards on the par-5 second hold for the fourth double-eagle in Masters history and the first on No. 2.
The shot vaulted him past third-round leader Peter Hanson and into the lead at 10-under par. The shot actually had a negative impact on Oosthuizen, who bogeyed No. 4 and said he needed several more holes to calm down.
"That was my first double-eagle ever," he said. "It was tough the next five holes to just get my head around it and just play the course."
Mickelson, who started the day one stroke off the lead and played with Hanson in the final pairing, made a triple-bogey on the par-3 fourth hole to drop to 5-under.
Though Mickelson played bogey-free golf the rest of the way, he made only three birdies, never got closer than two strokes to the lead and tied for third with Hanson, Lee Westwood and Matt Kuchar at 8-under 280.
For Westwood (68), it was his seventh top-three finish in a major, more than any player who has never won one.
"Keep plugging and keep working out," Westwood said. "Don't give up. I don't feel like giving up just yet."
Kuchar (69) eagled the par-5 15th to grab a share of the lead but promptly bogeyed No. 16. Hanson (73) finished with birdies on Nos. 15 and 18, but it was too little, too late.
That left Oosthuizen and Watson to duel for the green jacket.
Down two shots, Watson birdied Nos. 13, 14, 15 and 16 while Oosthuizen managed birdies on Nos. 13 and 15. They were tied at 10-under after Watson's birdie on the 16th and matched pars on the last two holes. Both parred the first playoff hole, No. 18.
Then the fun began.
Watson hooked his tee shot on the second playoff hole, No. 10, into the woods. Oosthuizen immediately switched to a 3-wood but inexplicably blocked his shot into the right trees, too.
"For me, it's an easy tee shot," he said. "I turn a 3-wood over quite easy and I just caught it a little bit off the heel and it went to the right."
His ball caromed off the trees into a decent lie in the second cut, but he still had 231 yards to the hole and hit a 5-iron, the same club he'd hit in regulation. This time, his ball wound up well short of the green.
"It just didn't go anywhere," Oosthuizen said.
Then it was Watson's turn. He faced a shot that was at least as hard as Mickelson's 6-iron off the pine straw on No. 13 in 2010.
"We had 135 (yards) to the front, the only number I was looking at," Watson said. "I think we had 164 to the hole, give or take. I hit my gap wedge and hooked it about 40 yards, started out about 15 feet off the ground until it got under the tree and then it started rising. Pretty easy."
The ball landed in the middle of the green, spun sideways to the right and came to a stop 12 feet from the hole. After Oosthuizen chipped long and then barely missed his par putt, Watson two-putted for the victory.
Watson has never taken a golf lesson and has never seen his swing on video. He plays by feel, loves to shape shots and hits his pink driver on every hole. He and his caddie call his unique style "Bubba golf."
"I just play golf," he said. "I attack. I always attack. I don't like to go for the center of greens. I want to hit the incredible shot. Who doesn't?"
Watson laughed when asked if there was a ceiling for "Bubba golf."
"Ceiling?" he said. "Major champion, I think I'm done, right? I mean, I can't do any better than this."

Have Toyota Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Your primary malfunction here is the C1360 code. It means the master cylinder pressure sensor number one has failed or the circuitry to it has failed. Most of the time it is a bad sensor. It is the sensor with the three wire connector a red wire a black wire any white wire on the master cylinder. The C 1203 code just means there's a malfunction in the ABS to the ECM communication circuit. That will go away once the repair is made on the pressure sensor. Do not use aftermarket sensors use only a Toyota sensor. Heads up they are not cheap.
The track off VSC light are on because of the pressure switch those systems need to know what the master cylinder pressure is doing. The switch is simply a screw-in type switch. It's not difficult to change.

Argentina are into the World Cup final against Germany. We take a look at the key moments on their way to the Maracana.
LIVE: Germany vs Argentina latest
1. Last-minute miss
The last-minute miss in extra-time by Switzerland substitute Blerim Dzemaili in the second round match in São Paulo. With his team trailing 1-0, the Swiss defender's header canoned off the post and he then sent the rebound wide when faced with an empty net. The match would almost certainly have gone to penalties if he had scored and then who know what would have happened.
2. Messi's magic
Lionel Messi's last-minute, 25-yard goal against Iran which earned his team a 1-0 win . Argentina were close to being held to an embarrassing draw in Belo Horizonte, with Iran outplaying them for large parts of the match and missing two glorious chances to win when Messi conjured up a piece of timely magic. Argentina's victory secured their qualification from the group stages.
3. Sabella's tactics
Manager Alex Sabella's decision to make two key changes for the quarter-final match against Belgium, dropping centre-half Frederico Fernandez for Martin Dimechellis, and midfielder Fernando Gago for Lucas Biglio. The changes added extra strength and balance to the team, making them even harder to beat.
World Cup 2014: 20 things we learned
World Cup 2014: 20 things we learned
1/20 Red faced
Vincent Tan, owner of relegated Cardiff City, is proved wrong again: red shirts do not increase the chances of success. Red was the most popular first-choice shirt colour in the tournament. Nine teams picked it, yet five, including big guns Spain and Portugal, failed to get out of their groups. Two more fell in the second round, and the furthest any crimson campaigners got was the quarter-finals – Ivory Coast and Belgium.
2/20 Don't get carried away
Not for the first time at a World Cup, the number of goals (added to by Netherlands' 5-1 thrashing of Spain) in the first round sparked talk of a new record. But the group stages are no guide for the latter rounds, and the goal rush dried up once the sudden-death reality of the knockouts took hold.
Getty Images
3/20 Letter of advice
To succeed in these finals you needed your nation's name to start with a letter in the first half of the alphabet, Algeria (pictured) being the most surprising. Of the 32 nations, only nine started with a letter in the latter half of the alphabet. Of those, five got through to the second round, but out of eight quarter-finalists only Netherlands represented N-Z.
Getty Images
4/20 Well done Jose
For Jose Mourinho to get £50 million from PSG for David Luiz looks great business. The Chelsea manager's chief concern was always the Brazilian centre-half's defensive ability, and the semi-final against Germany, when he effectively abandoned his post, graphically proved Mourinho's point.
GABRIEL BOUYS/AFP/Getty Images
5/20 Spain lacked energy
Spain's feeble performance, especially against the Netherlands, proved that at the top level age isn't as important as freshness. Many of their players are in their prime and playing for top clubs. And it was not exactly an old team. But success can sap a player's energy as much as age.
6/20 Europe can win away
The fact that this World Cup was only a Javier Mascherano tackle and a penalty shoot-out away from being a third successive all-European final shows the old belief that only South American teams win on that continent needs updating. It wasn't the climate that prevented the Netherland's best player, Arjen Robben, scoring a late winner against Argentina.
Getty Images
7/20 Hair cuts both ways
The jury is out on whether changing your hairstyle aids success. Ronaldo's zig-zag didn't help him or Portugal, while Neymar's blond tint presaged his injury and Brazil's 1-7 thrashing. But Argentina defender Martin Demichelis has been reborn as a player since he lost his ponytail. The newly shorn Marouane Fellaini must be hoping for the same at Old Trafford.
Getty Images
8/20 Messy not Messi
The "vanishing foam" may have kept defensive walls back 10 yards at free-kicks, but it did nothing to help the free-kick taker strike the ball cleanly. The ball had to be kicked through the ring of foam circling the ball, splattering it everywhere.
9/20 Money talks in Africa
Nigeria's Stephen Keshi (above right) became the continent's first manager to reach the second round, where there were two African teams for the first time. It should have been a landmark tournament; instead three federations got involved in financial disputes as the old problems resurfaced.
10/20 A star is born
Given the media globalisation of the club game, it seemed rather old-fashioned to imagine a hitherto unregarded player making himself properly known at a tournament. But in this World Cup James Rodriguez (right) of Colombia has gone from the fringes of the elite to worldwide superstar.
11/20 Referees became softies
Allegedly on Fifa orders, so many fouls went unpunished by a book- ing for the perpetrator. The statistics also suggest leniency: 10 red cards (above) is fewer than any finals since 1986.
Getty Images
12/20 Fifa's timely earner
The game's governing body may be a "non-profit organisation", but they are still very good at earning. That could be seen every time the sponsored watch-shaped stoppage-time board (above) was held up by the fourth official.
13/20 Corners are key
Set-pieces are supposedly the weapon of choice for weaker teams, but much of Germany's potency derives from them. For all the squad's talent, the key opening goals in both their quarter-final and semi-final were from corners.
14/20 Rotation is crucial
The three best-performing semi-finalists all shared one trait: they changed either formation or line-up in every match, making them very difficult to work out. It was a factor in why Argentina-Netherlands was so tense, and one explanation why Brazil fell apart. Without Neymar and Thiago Silva, they could not adapt.
15/20 Club and country
A club season is no guide to World Cup form. Steven Gerrard was immense for Liverpool, anonymous for England. On the other side of things, there is Sergio Romero . The goalkeeper only made three appearances for Monaco last season but has been one of Argentina's stars.
Getty Images
16/20 Asia still minor
So much for the breakthrough of Asian football. All four teams finished bottom of their groups, without a win between them. It was so bleak that the South Korean Football Association even offered a collective bow of apology.
17/20 Oh lucky man
The records show that England had the seventh worst campaign of the 32 teams. Unlike those who outperformed him, such as Greece's Fernando Santos and even Japan's Alberto Zacceroni, Roy Hodgson has stayed in employment.
18/20 Shoot-out kings
Argentina 1990 remain the only side to have won two shoot-outs in the same World Cup. So it was perhaps fitting that it was Alex Sabella's side who prevented the Dutch team from emulating them (above). Argentina never looked like losing from the moment of the first penalty.
19/20 Tweet tweet
The second semi-final offered a first, as Argentina tweeted their list of penalty takers. It almost felt like they were calling Louis van Gaal's bluff. It's hard to say whether it was a factor, but it did reflect how this World Cup has been dominated by social media.
20/20 No new balls please
Complaints about the ball have always been one of the tournament's clichés, but not this time, with a complete absence of discussion about it. The ball is doing exactly what it is meant to, meaning attackers are more comfortable with it.
4. Romero comes good
Sergio Romero's penalty saves from Ron Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder secured Argentina's place in the World Cup final. The much-derided goalkeeper had, previously been described as the team's weak link. His first save in particular gave Argentina a huge psyhological advantage in the shoot-out.
5. Cool venues
The World Cup draw has been kind to Argentina, ensuring they played no matches in the hot and humid cities of northern Brazil. All their games have taken place in the more temperate cities in the middle or south, which are relatively closer to their country, ensuring Argentinians have attended in large numbers.Reuse content

All about lice
They do suck blood, as well as adult lice, in which the larvae develop in about three weeks. Head over to their bites itch and kids can be tired. If you suspect the presence of all, the children thoroughly inspect your head as quickly as possible and get rid of them.
How to get rid of lice
Procedure to get rid of all the lots, there are also plenty of shampoos. But not all are equally effective, as evidenced in recent years, and it is precisely on the basis of increased resistance to all insecticides. It is best to have a pharmacy consult the latest product against everything and then follow the instructions to the letter, which can be found in the manual. http://www.astonmartinforum.com/forum/members/juliavins24.html
Preparations not the cheap, so choose carefully and the price they look less.
"The fight against all the classic problem at the turn of the end of summer and the beginning of the school year, "says Dr. Jan Burs, head of online pharmacies" In terms of volume it is not a large category of goods, but now selling sprays and shampoos for lice grow, " adds. http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/members/12606.html
"Arsenal fight against hair parasites should include lice spray, metal comb to their grooming and special shampoo for the hair," says Dr. Burs.
In addition to more or less conservative use of special preparations against everything there is still plenty of other methods by which managed many parents their children to get rid of lice. http://www.hondagrom.net/forums/members/1127.html
Once upon a time the hair is washed out with kerosene and apparently it worked, but who today would be feeling like a lamp? Even so, there are similarly specific methods.

When I came into my living room expecting to see my daughters singing and dancing to their favorite movie Frozen, I was surprised to find Jules (my precocious six year old) sitting on the couch with tears welling in her eyes. Delaney, her 15-month-old sister was still sitting on the floor, her hands raised in the air and wiggling to the music, hadn't noticed her older sister had left her side.
"What's wrong Jules?" I came and sat down next to her.
She gained her composition after a few seconds then said, "Delaney can never be a Princess Mum."
"Silly, of course she can" I replied, initially not giving her concern much thought.
But Jules was adamant, "No Mum, there are no Princesses like Delaney".
Jules, who is a beautiful blond haired blue eyed girl, is a typical Princess by any Disney standard and so is Delaney, but with one big difference. Delaney has Down's syndrome. And I realised Jules was right.
My partner Andrea and I are already outspoken parent activists in the Down's syndrome community, but it took my six year old to recognize that her baby sister Delaney and people like her are excluded on even the most elementary level, even as children.
Andrea and I knew we had to do something, not just for Delaney but also for Jules.
My first thought was to call Disney. But realising that Andrea and I are two measly voices, we thought a petition would be a great way to get more voices to join us. We started the Care2 petition with an initial goal of 1,000 signatures. We had that in an hour!
"What if we get 10,000 signatures?" Andrea was shooting for the moon.
I agreed, "Now that would be something." We had the 10,000 signatures in less than a week. As of October 30th 2014, we have over 55,000 signatures and still have two weeks to collect more.
When we decided to save Delaney, which is a tale better left told in my memoir, everyone, including our families, was against the decision. Our families were concerned about our two other children (Jules and her 8 year old brother Jared), and how they would be treated by society and the attention that having a disabled child would take away from them.
Our families had valid, loving and thoughtful concerns; Andrea and I felt differently and chose to make our own decision even if everyone was against us and it was very hard.
Today looking at Jules I could not be a prouder parent. and Andrea and I know that we were right in our decision. Both Jules and Jared are much more thoughtful and compassionate people because they love their little sister, who happens to have a disability. In this story, Jules is the real hero, and Delaney is her princess. I just hope that Disney can see this too.

The problem with saying in advance that the season opener is one of the most important games of your career is that you don't have much left to say now, two losses later and on the verge of having their season end before it ever really began.
The inactives are QB Jason Campbell, S Reed Doughty, CB Shawn Springs, RB T.J. Duckett, OL Mike Pucillo, OL Jim Molinaro, DL Ryan Boschetti, and DL Joe Salave'a. It's not surprising that Salave'a is out; his calf didn't seem to be getting any better as the week went on. What is surprising here is that rookie Anthony Montgomery has replaced him on the active list and veteran Boschetti will be riding the pine.
First Quarter
(1:05 PM) It would have been good to have T. J. Duckett available on that third and one on the opening drive. One running back has to be inactive, though, and with Betts being the second-team back and Rock Cartwright proving to be quite the return threat, Duckett is the odd man out.
(1:11 PM) Carr had way too much time to throw on that bomb to Johnson. Is it really that easy to score a touchdown? A loose team with nothing to lose now has some confidence. This is going to be a battle.
(1:17 PM) A little bit of imagination on a play shown with the shovel pass to Portis. That's what Sunders is here for. Perfect timing, a perfect situation, catching the defense anxious to make a big play and get a second straight three and out.
(1:19 PM) Just as Houston got a big charge out of its big play, the Redskins got one out of theirs. Mike Sellers just buried the whole right side of the Texans' defensive line and even Santana Moss got in on the fun with a block that was not devastating but quite effective.
(1:25 PM) Again, a ball on the ground on a blown exchange and the Redskins can't come up with it. They didn't seem to know it was on the ground, even though it was clear that the snap was blow. Well, it was good to get the sack after it, but there was still a lot of field position lost.
(1:36 PM) What's this called? The offense jumping out of the huddle, firing out, making good yardage on almost every play, a lot of different players touching the ball. Oh, yeah, it's called a competent NFL offense.
Second Quarter
(1:41 PM) Derrick Dockery may still have some technique issues when it comes to pass blocking, but he sure can get out in front of a pass receiver on those short patterns. He had good blocks on both the shovel pass to Portis and on Antwaan Randle El's touchdown. He's a great athlete for a guy any size, let alone some as massive as him.
(1:50 PM) The defense still is showing a propensity to commit penalties at the worst times. They had a shot at a three and out but Mike Rumph got an unnecessary hand to the face flag to prolong the drive. Again, field position turned at Houston got past midfield before punting.
(1:57 PM) I don't know what that technique thing that Derrick Frost corrected was, but he and Danny Smith ought to patent it. Frost has gone from a sub-marginal player into a true asset. A 60-yard punt with a short return is gold when you're backed up like the Skins were.
(2:01 PM) It was about time Houston got called for holding. They got away with a few before the one that negated the pass that went inside the Redskins 30.
(2:05 PM) I think it's about time for the Redskins to loosen up the defense with a long pass this series. Toss it up and let Brandon Lloyd jump and get it.
(2:15 PM) Seven flags already in the first half. While they're playing much better overall, that's one aspect that is hurting them. As I type, the eighth is called on them.
(2:18 PM) Did somebody say that David Patten was done? You won't see a better catch that that.
(2:20 PM) Not a bad little draw to set up the field goal, was it? When things are going well, things like that happen.
Third Quarter
(2:28 PM) Good point made by Jimmy Johnson at halftime. Saunders seems to have figured out what Brunell is capable of doing and has designed the play calling around that. Now, to be sure, this isn't something that will work against the NFL's better teams, but for right now it's just what they need. You can't argue with 16 for 16 and a QB rating of 142.6.
(2:39 PM) Finally, a three and out for the defense. Now, just keep it going offensively and salt this one away.
(2:46 PM) Dumb, dumb penalty by Portis for woffing after he was tackled. The beat goes on with all the flags.
(2:49 PM) One more completion for to tie the NFL record for consecutive completions in a game. Incredible game by Brunell.
(2:50 PM) The record is tied and then kept alive when the out of bounds fade to Lloyd is negated by a penalty. It doesn't look like he'll have another chance in this drive as the Skins will try to pound it in from there.
(2:56 PM) I'm not so confident of this review here. Portis didn't seem to have a real good grip on the ball at the time his knee hit, although it clearly was still in his hand. I'm not sure exactly what the rule on possession is here since he wasn't juggling it or anything.
(3:00 PM) Fox did a good job with those still shots of Portis being on the ground with the ball still in his hand. Good call on the reversal, although I can't really blame the refs for making the original call, it was close.
(3:01 PM) I can blame them for taking so long to make the call of a touchdown. Yeah, I know it's a little complaint but they have to make that call before they go in and untangle the pile. Either the ball crossed the plane before a knee went down or not. Where the ball carrier ends up is inconsequential.
(3:03 PM) After further review, it's great to have something to complain about besides the performance of the Redskins.
(3:11 PM) It's about time the Skins got a ball off of the ground; good hustle by Kedric Golston to get to the recovery. About the only suspense left in this one is how many more consecutive completions Brunell can get. His over/under is three, if he throws that many passes the rest of the day.
(3:15 PM) He got the record and then had one batted down. I don't think that it's any coincidence that Portis is back at full strength and Brunell has his best game of the year, maybe of his life.
Fourth Quarter
(3:20 PM) What once was broken now seems to be fixed. John Hall boots a 46-yard field goal to put the Redskins up 31-7. It's cruise control from here on out.
(3:25 PM) Carlos Rogers needs to learn how to play the ball and not the man, especially when he has a play on the ball. That pass to Johnson should have been batted down with no problem, but instead it sets up a touchdown for Houston.
(3:32 PM) This is a difference between Gibbs' play calling and that of Saunders. On first and ten when a run up the gut is what's being expected an end around to Randle El is the call. It forces the defense to honor that, creating a little more room on the inside for Betts to run. And then after that there was the empty backfield look on first and ten. This might help the Skins kill the clock now and in the future.
(3:35 PM) But no play-calling scheme can offset the drive-killing holding call. The laundry stayed in the zebras' pockets for most of the third quarter, but it came back with a hold on Thrash of all people. Betts bailed him out, though, with a nice run on third and long to move the chains.
(3:48 PM) The prevent defense—although it's unlikely to prevent the Redskins from winning this one, it's still irritating to see Houston marching down the field like this.
(3:49 PM) Nice INT by Kenny Wright to kill the last breath for Houston. It seems like the DB's have had several chances this year to make interceptions like that and they usually either just bat it down or, as Rogers did earlier, get an interference flag.
(3:57 PM) Yes, this was beating up on a bad opponent, but the Redskins could not have asked for anything more. They got some rhythm on offense and some takeaways on defense and they did what good teams are supposed to do, beat up on a lesser opponent. The going gets much tougher the next few weeks and we'll really see what they're made of. But on a given Sunday you can only beat who you're playing and the Skins deserve credit for doing just that.

Schoolchildren have been repeatedly humiliated by being forced to lie face down on the floor and listen to their head teacher pretending to telephone God to say they have been naughty, it has been claimed.
Angry parents of children who have allegedly suffered this bizarre punishment at St Joseph's Roman Catholic primary school in Devizes, Wiltshire, have prompted the schools watchdog Ofsted to ask Wiltshire council to investigate.
One parent, Tammy Brimble, claims her 11-year-old son Cyrus was subjected to the punishment by head teacher Sheila Jones. "When he told me what had happened to him and three other boys, I was upset." It was "distressing for my child for her to call on God like that," she added.
Ms Brimble has complained to Ofsted. And in a letter to Simon Napper, deputy chairman of the governors, she claims: "Cyrus has been subjected to the humiliation of being punished by Sheila on more than one occasion."
Another mother, Alexandra Jones, who worked as a lunchtime supervisor at the school, told how the children had been talking among themselves "and then it came out that Sheila had made some of them lie face down in the prayer room while she pretended to ring God on her mobile phone."
Ofsted has asked Wiltshire Council's safeguarding panel to investigate the allegations.
Ms Jones has not been suspended. In a statement, Colette Culligan, chairman of the school's governors, said: "We are aware of an allegation against one of the teaching staff" but any "enquiries regarding this issue" should be directed to Wiltshire Council.
A Wiltshire Council spokesperson said: "We have received a letter from Ofsted and we are looking into the concerns raised."
This is not an isolated case, claim campaigners.
"It is far too common that such proselytising or discrimination on the basis of religion causes distress, and we are frequently contacted by parents whose children have been left in tears after similar incidents," said Pavan Dhaliwal, director of public affairs at the British Humanist Association.Reuse content

The Price of Stones by Twesigye Jackson Kaguri of Nyaka Schools
Beatrice Lamwaka talks to Twesigye Jackson Kaguri about his new book - The Price of Stones.
more from author >>
First published: June 3, 2011
Twesigye Jackson Kaguri is an Associate Director of Development in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at Michigan State University. He is the Founder and Executive Director of Nyaka and Kutamba AIDS Orphans Schools. With Susan Urbanek Linville, Kaguri authored The Price Of Stones: Building a School for My Village, the story about how Kaguri built Nyaka School for Orphans and how he raised his community out of poverty. Kaguri co-founded human rights organization Human Rights Concerns, to help victims of human rights violations in Uganda and to educate the public about their rights. Kaguri went to the United States as a visiting scholar studying Human Rights Advocacy at Columbia University. Since then he has been involved extensively in international community efforts as a Programs Assistant for People's Decade for Human Rights Education (PDHRE International-New York) and as a volunteer for various nonprofit organizations. He was instrumental in drafting resolutions that were adopted at the United Nations Youth International Conference held in Braga, Portugal, in 1998.
He was at Speke Hotel on a visit to Kampala when we exchanged a few words and talked about his new book.
Twesigye Jackson Kaguri.
Beatrice: When did you decide you would have to write a book?
Jackson: As a child beginning school at the age of four and half years, I followed my sisters to school - seven and half miles away from home. I was fascinated by the uniform they wore. Writing captivated me. I wanted to learn how to read and write. My desire to write started then. I started keeping a journal in primary school - whenever my dad said something I didn't like I wrote it down, I wrote about interesting occurrences in school. I remember one time I got spanked because I broke a pot. I wrote that in my journal. I wrote in very vivid descriptions which later helped me to write my memoir. I used to keep my journal under in my bed.
In USA while I was at Colombia University in 1996, my brother died of AIDS. Before his death, I would record daily occurrences, what the doctor said, and my brother's state. At this point in time, I had not thought of writing a book yet. After my brother's death, my sister also died of the same disease. When I had access to computers, I typed all the information I had gathered in my journals, then I stored them in a floppy disk. One Christmas when I visited my home area, I managed to retrieve all the old journals I had stored in my ssembula suitcase.
Some of the information that kept appearing in my journal was my brother's message of take care of my children. I also had to take care of HIV positive nephew, left by my sister. I would return home one in a while, and then I would hear of news of death about many people I had known. Grandmothers brought their grandchildren so that I could teach them what I had learnt in school. I would give the children pencils and whatever I could. Then I decided that it was much better for me to build a school and take care of the education needs of the children and that's how Nyaka School came into being in 2001. In the US, people would ask me about Idi Amin so I started intense writing to create awareness. In the book, The Price of Stones: Building a School for My Village, I combine the children's stories with my own to create awareness of the situation.
Twesigye Jackson Kaguri's book - The Price of Stones.
Beatrice: What motivates you to write?
Jackson: I am writing to create awareness because I feel that this mission is beyond me. I am writing about something that is going to change someone's life. Some of these children may never go to the US and they may never tell their stories there, but the book will speak for them. Most of their stories will never be heard; I hope and pray that these stories may change someone's life.
Beatrice: What influences your writing?
Jackson: I didn't have books while I was growing up but when I started reading I never stopped. The first book that I first owned was Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I was so excited. I wrote my name, Twesigye Jackson Kaguri and also wrote Home Library, something I had learnt from my elder brother and then signed below it and put a date that I received it. My first influence was Universal Declaration on Human Rights, which I questioned because I felt that these rights were not protected in my community. One time when I asked an expert about human rights violations, he asked me if I had written anything about it. I had not written anything so I went ahead and wrote basing on my personal experiences; about lack of medical facilities and medical personnel – in 1979, I broke my arm and I was taken to hospital but there was no anesthesia so I had to bite a stick while I was being sewed - women are beaten every day; my father used to beat my mother and she would sleep in the bush. Human rights violations were going on in every aspect and nobody cared to change that. My sisters were denied education because my father believed that educating them meant investing in another family. I started paying fees for my sisters at an early age because I felt guilty. The essay I wrote helped me get a scholarship to Colombia University and it has been widely read.
Beatrice: How do you relate with the stories in Nyaka School?
Jackson: The stories of the children are like looking at the young me. My parents didn't have money, and my father had to struggle in order to pay school fees. Some people are raising more children than they can afford to. At about 12 years I built my own hut where I could stay. My dad threatened that he would burn the hut because its entrance faced outside of the trees fence. He never burnt it. Many 12 year olds are doing the same thing. In my family we had chicken and goats that we bred but some children don't don't have any of that. For example, Irene, her uncle wanted to marry her off so he can get money and cows to get care of her other siblings. Currently, she is senior two and they are feed in school. Bruno was staying his family house by himself after parents died. He didn't want to leave the house because he was scared his uncle would take the house. He wants to be a medical doctor, had no chance of school but now he is Nyaka Scool in senior two. One time he was brought for a tour of Mulago Hospital, he didn't want to leave the hospital and he kept asking that if Mulago was that big why did his parents die of AIDS? About 2.5 million orphans are in Nyaka School and the number keeps growing. Each of us can make a difference. Any contribution can change someone's life forever.
The children of Nyaka with Jamaican Canadian artist Kay Morris at UGPulse sponsored Nyaka Eire Concert.
Beatrice: Many thanks for your time
Jackson: My pleasure.

Lesson PlansBack to lesson plans archive February 15, 2013
A penny for your thoughts, movies, or music?
By Lisa Greeves
Arts & Culture, Technology
Estimated Time
This lesson will take 2-3 class periods, but can easily be divided up into segments. Steps 1, 2, and 3 can be done in Class #1. Step 4 can be done during Class #2 and completed for homework; you can add additional research time in if you need it. Step 5 can be done in Class #3. Step #6 can be done for homework.
Grade Level
As the entertainment industry begins taking more drastic steps to curb the downloading of musical and entertainment works from the Internet, the issues involved in this new form of copyright violation become more complicated and the ethical implications begin to affect other areas of everyday life. Explore with your students in more depth the different sides of this controversial situation and the ethical implications for society as a whole, and assign students to practice persuasive presentations to illustrate different points-of-view.
Copyright – the exclusive right to the publication, production, or sale of the rights to a literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work, or to the use of a commercial print or label, granted by law for a specified period of time to an author, composer, artist, distributor, etc.
- Have students write in their notebooks for five minutes responding to the following questions:When was the last time you downloaded music? Do you feel it is OK or not to download music or other entertainment files from the Internet? Why or why not?
- When they finish, encourage a few students to share their opinions and experiences with the class.
- Have students read copies of Handout #1 (Newshour Extra article) and Handout #2, NewsHour transcript "Copyright Angst".
- To review the content of the article, brainstorm on the board together the different sides of this copyright violation argument. Students may need to reread passages from "Copyright Angst" to glean some of the different perspectives. Some perspectives that students should hone in on include:
- The consumer's perspective
- The private citizen's perspective
- The recording artist or actor's perspective
- this entertainment industry's perspective
- The technology industry's perspective
- Your students may be able to come up with other sides to this situation that aren't covered in the articles. List those on the board also. Draw different boxes on the board for each perspective, label each, and write out a summary of that perspective.
- Now tell students that they are going to adopt one of these perspectives as their own, research that perspective in more depth, and develop a persuasive presentation that captures the essence of that perspective.Students will work in small groups and adopt a certain viewpoint in this debate on downloading, participate in a group research assignment, present their findings to the class, and attempt to persuade their peers to subscribe to their assigned point-of-view regarding the downloading of entertainment files.
Students will hold on to their original statements of opinions about this situation, and after researching in more depth and listening to other group's points-of-view, they will revisit their own original stand and see if and how it has changed.Divide students into five groups and assign each group a title from the following list:
- Musicians–Against: A group of musicians who are against downloading music files; students may conduct research and play the part of actual musicians who share this view;
- Musicians – Pro: A group of musicians who support being able to download music files; students may conduct research and play the part of actual musicians who share this view;
- Executives – A group of music and entertainment industry executives;
- Parents – A group of parents from your state who earn average salaries and are raising teenagers.
- Attorneys – Pro: A group of attorneys who are defending several teenagers recently charged with illegally downloading music files.
- Each group will research as much information as they can find about this particular category of people to find facts that would pertain to that category's stand on downloading entertainment files. Encourage each group to find facts and figures to support their stand. For instance, students assigned to the "Parents" group could research the average salary in your area, average expenses per family, average amount of money they are able to devote to each child, etc.All groups should be expected to grapple with the issues of stealing, repercussions for one's actions, greed, money, and honesty in some fashion. Provide students with access to the Internet, business magazines, or newspapers to aid in their research and posterboard or newsprint and markers for their illustrations. Each group will illustrate their findings in a chart or visual and give a presentation explaining their group's point of view as it applies to digital copyright violation.Encourage students to be creative in their presentations, even humorous if appropriate, but emphasize that their information and persuasive tactics must be factually informed.
Groups should provide you with a bibliography of all sources used.You might want to reserve research time for your students in the school library and allow students a class period or two of research time to work on their presentations.
- Allow each group to present their stand, support, and findings to the class. Encourage students to question their peers on their stands and support. Remind students that they are trying to persuade their peers to subscribe to their point of view.
- After all presentations have been completed, assign students to write a two-page reaction to the group presentations and to explain which mode of thought they subscribe to now after hearing more facts and figures and different perspectives.Students should also write about what kind of solution they would propose to this problem of illegal downloading. How would their solution work? When the responses are turned in, take a poll to see how many students ended up changing their original opinions.

Medical Device Asset-Management with e-Quip AM
Can your system search for information like this on any column on any screen?
… and do grouping and auto-sum like this on any number of fields?
… and show a configurable dashboard to notify you of events and KPI's?
… and produce KPI's based on the National Performance Advisory Group's specifications?
Ours not only can, but is doing so at hospitals ranging from some of the country's largest University Teaching Hospitals to District General Hospitals, and even small clinics!
And it can do a lot more besides. All device management applications have inventory & work management, spare part stock control, contract management, MHRA medical device alerts, equipment libraries etc. (although with some of our competitors there may be additional charges for some of these), but do they also handle:
- KPI Generation
- Information Governance aspects of device management
- Equipment Decontamination
- Leases
- Pre-Purchase Questionnaires
- Supplier Loans – IFA/B
- Customer Management
- Automated Invoicing
- User-definable reports to Excel, Word and PDF
- Training
- Full support for device user training linked to staff grades/roles
- Asset tracking with RFID
- GS1 support
Browser, Mobile Device & Desktop Interfaces
- The powerful desktop Office 2007/2012-based interface is generally used by engineers and power-users
- A Pocket PC interface is used by engineers on the move
- A browser-based interface is available for clinical users
Naturally both are included in the same licence price – there are no added extras.
Click this link to try the browser version There's no need to log in, just choose a location from the drop-down list on the right and click Go. Once you have some data in the grid you can click the hyper- link on the left to open a record. Notice that the filters work just like Microsoft Excel column filtering: type a search value in the column header then choose a filter condition (Contains, Starts With, Equals etc) from the drop-down list, then click Apply Filter. Although the example above shows a very simple configuration, the browser application can be configured to show a great deal of information, including key performance indicators.

Medical Device Managers in the UK operate within a framework of regulation and inspection designed to improve patient safety. The MHRA Device Bulletin DB2006(05) identifies the following responsibilities for Device Managers:
- Decontamination
- Equipment life-cycle
- Procurement
- Records
- Adverse incident reporting
- Actions required on MHRA's Medical Device Alerts and manufacturers' corrective notices
- Training
- Technical specifications
- Regulatory compliance and related issues
- Rationalisation to single models, where possible
- Risk management
- Equipment inventory
- Manufacturers' instructions
- Disposal
Implementing these policies will not only improve patient safety, but the financial benefits are significant. NHSLA level 3 compliance brings a 30% discount on CNST contributions. DB2006(05) also states "Good record-keeping is essential for the safe management of medical devices… The records should be maintained within one system wherever possible. " The e-Quip family of software tools is the only integrated system which meets these requirements.
e-Quip AM (Asset-Management) is the newest medical device asset-management software to be released in the UK. There is no other system available which offers the ease-of-use, combined with power and flexibility of e-Quip AM. The design of the system was based on over 10 years experience working with some of the largest Medical Physics and EBME departments in the UK, listening to their requirements and taking into account their problems with existing systems.
e-Quip AM is:
- Modern
- Based on the Microsoft Office 2007/2010 user-interface style
- Users familiar with Microsoft Excel will immediately feel at home with the system, even without training, with features like:
- Excel-style column filters
- Formula support
- Column freezing
- Auto-sum
- Auto-pivot
- Fully configurable by user role
- Users only see the screens, columns, menus etc that they need to see
- The behaviour of many system features can be modified according to a user's role
- Powerful & Customisable
- All data processing is performed by user-customisable procedures
- How data is fetched and processed is completely under your control
- This allows custom workflows to be created to enforce your policies and processes
These features alone make e-Quip AM an attractive choice for Medical Device Managers, but when combined with our unique pricing strategy, e-Quip AM becomes the only choice.
Best-in-class software tools do not have to be prohibitively expensive. In the past, medical device asset-management software has been massively over-priced. The reason for this is that suppliers are trying to recoup their development costs in as short a time as possible, and this means a high purchase price. Also, because the suppliers perceive that large hospitals are prepared to spend more, software is often sold with a limit on the number of concurrent users; the more users you need, the more you pay.
To us, this has never seemed logical – surely it costs the same to develop the software regardless of how many people in a hospital use it? This pricing policy is based purely on profit and runs completely counter to the customer's requirements.
Our strategy is different. We are proud of our software and want you to use it as much as possible. We would prefer it if hundreds of people used e-Quip AM, not just Medical Physics or EBME. e-Quip AM does not have a purchase price! You don't buy the software (in fact, you can't buy the software). All we sell is an annual "right-to-use" licence – once you have purchase this you can use the software for 12 months, with as many users as you choose. There are absolutely no other costs.
- No up-front costs
- e-Quip AM has no purchase price; you don't buy the software
- There is no annual maintenance or support charge
- The only charge is an annual "right-to-use" licence
- There is no limit on the number of concurrent user sessions. Your annual licence entitles you to run with as many users as you choose
Prepare to be astonished (in the right way!) when you see the power and features of e-Quip AM, and then look at the price tag.

The Icecutter's Daughter (Land of Shining Water Book #1)
By Tracie Peterson / Genre: United States, Historical Fiction
As the lone female in a houseful of men, Merrill Krause dedicates her life to caring for her family and their business, as her dying mother asked. Besides, it suits her; she's never felt like she fits what most people expect in a girl–she'd rather work with her father's horses and assist with the ice harvest. And though she's been mostly content up to this point, a part of her wonders if there will ever be anyone who will notice her amid the bevy of brothers determined to protect her from any possible suitors.
When Rurik Jorgenson arrives in their small Minnesota town to join his uncle's carpentry business, he soon crosses paths with Merrill. But unlike other men, who are often frightened away by her older brothers, Rurik isn't intimidated by them or by Merrill's strength and lack of femininity. The attraction between them begins to build…until Rurik's former fiance shows up with wild claims that bring serious consequences to Rurik.
Can Rurik and Merrill learn to trust God–and each other–when scandal threatens their newfound love?
