Local businesses await second round of investment award announcements
TROY — The Capital Region Economic Development Council (CREDC) met Monday afternoon at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to discuss ongoing council activities and to review the CREDC's 2012 Progress Report presented to the Strategic Implementation Assessment Team (SIAT) in October. CREDC is one of 10 regional councils across New York that serves as a single point of contact for economic activity in the region, which includes Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington counties.
The 90-minute meeting, co-chaired by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute President Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson and James Barba, Albany Medical Center's president and CEO, included updates from the CREDC Project Metrics & Monitoring, Project Pipeline, Strategic Plan Advancement and Implementation, and Public Engagement committees. Public and private higher educational institutions are essential components of the State's economic engine, serving as centers of innovation and research. Jackson, who represents academia for the CREDC, said "It's a great region, with well-educated people. As we go forward, the fields identified as critical to economic growth in the Capital Region are nano tech and green sciences, high performance, and biotechnology. We will work on any lack of clarity with regard to the pathways of funding and will update our website."
In the first round of the Regional Council initiative, the Mohawk Valley region was awarded $60.2 million in state resources through the Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) process to support 59 projects. Currently, 98 percent of these projects have executed contracts with state funding agencies and are now underway as a result of funding they received. In 2012, the MVREDC endorsed 32 priority projects requesting $25 million in state capital investment that have the potential to create 1,125 construction jobs, 1,190 permanent jobs, retain 3,130 existing jobs, leverage $215,918,516 million in private and other investment and move the region decisively closer to meeting dozens of specific strategy goals. In addition, the Council recommended four priority projects for $4,975,000 million in Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits that have the potential to create 598 jobs and retain 28 jobs.
On Wednesday, Governor Andrew Cuomo's office will announce funding awards for the second round of the CFA process. Among the 32 projects endorsed by the Council and submitted to the state as regional priorities for the second round of the Regional Council initiative's competitive grant funding process were Prosit- Davidson Brothers, Inc.of Glens Falls, and Free Form Fibers, of Saratoga Springs.
In reaction to the news that they were among the projects endorsed, John Schneiter, of Free Form Fibers, said "Free Form Fibers is developing technology to make high performance ceramic fibers of different materials, mostly for composites, for a wide variety of industries. With support from DARPA and the Army we demonstrated the ability to produce pure Boron Carbide fiber. Boron Carbide is second in hardness only to diamond that could be used in next-generation composite armor. Under contracts with the National Science Foundation, DARPA, NASA and NYSERDA we have produced pure Silicon Carbide fiber, where the market focus is on composite airfoils in the hot sections of next-generation aircraft engines and power turbines... We envision building a company in the region with a couple of hundred employees once we have scale-up figured out and can secure funding. We're honored to be included on the preliminary list of companies being evaluated for New York state support and look forward to building a company that matters, both to our customers and to the region.

Saddam Hussein's rejection of diplomatic efforts to solve the crisis led to the decision to restore Kuwait's sovereignty by military force. The ensuing air war and the effects of the economic embargo decimated Iraq's military infrastructure, severed communication and supply lines, smashed weapons arsenals, and destroyed morale. Overall, the coalition air campaign accumulated a total of 109,876 sorties over the 43-day war, an average of 2,555 sorties per day. Of these, over 27,000 targeted Scuds, airfields, air defenses, electrical power, biological and chemical weapons, headquarters, intelligence assets, communications, the Iraqi army, and oil refining.
One can get some perspective on the scope of the Gulf air war by comparing it to some predecessors. The following table presents U.S. Army Air Forces, and U. S. Air Force bomb tonnage statistics extracted from various wars, compared with Air Force tonnage dropped in the Gulf War:
War Tonnage Length Tonnage/Month WW II 2,150,000 45 months 47,777.78 Korea 454,000 37 months 12,270.27 Vietnam/SEA 6,162,000 140 months 44,014.29 Gulf War 60,624 1.5 months 40,416.00
The Gulf War was not an exercise in massive bombing unparalleled in previous air war history; neither the sortie rates nor the bomb tonnage statistics made it so. The Air Force's tonnage expenditure in the Gulf War was only 11% of that expended against Japan (537,000 tons), less than 4% of that expended against Nazi Germany (1,613,000 tons), and less than one percent of the tonnage which the Air Force dropped in Southeast Asia. In measures of tonnage dropped per month, the Gulf air war ranked significantly below Vietnam, and was only 85% of that in the Second World War. Yet it was more decisive overall in what it achieved than any of these previous wars.
During DESERT STORM, 10th ADA Brigade from Germany commanded a task force which included Dutch, US and Israeli Patriot batteries in defense of Tel Aviv and Haifa. ADA lieutenants were debriefed at the Israeli Defense Forces "Pentagon" after each Scud attack. Within twenty nine hours of "wheels up" for the first aircraft, the TF 4-43 ADA was operational in Israel in two locations.
TF 4-7 ADA (Patriot) deployed from Germany to Incirlik Turkey where they provided ADA protection to critical assets poised at Iraq's "back door".
TF 2-43 ADA (Patriot) deployed from Germany & was attached to 11th ADA Brigade, providing Scud defense of King Khalid Military City in Saudi Arabia.
TF 8-43 ADA (Patriot) deployed from Germany and provided general support to VII Corps.
After a 38-day air campaign, the DESERT SABRE ground offensive began with allied forces sweeping through Iraqi defenses. The Iraqi army was crushed after a mere 100 hours. Iraqi troops–tired, hungry and war-weary from six months of economic blockade and more than a month of relentless allied bombing–surrendered by the thousands.
Desert Storm is also known as the Mother of all Battles (Umm Al-Ma'arik — the Arabic "mother of" is a figure of speech for "major" or "best"). Saddam Hussein's biography notes that he: "Led his country in confrontation the aggression launched by 33 countries led by US. which waged war against Iraq, the Iraqis' confrontation of which is called by Arabs and Iraqis as the Battle of Battles (Um Al-Ma'arik), where Iraq stood fast against the invasion, maintaining its sovereignty and political system."

Winter Drought
By: Jennifer Penate
Updated: January 3, 2013
Also, farmers are seeing a lot of dry soil and hope to get several inches of steady rain in early spring for their corn crops to produce a good yield. Dozens of crop farmers in Vernon and Barton counties are buying irrigation systems just in case there's another rainfall shortage.
"People are preparing for another dry system and of course we hope for the best and we have to plan for the worst," states Larry Compton, Farmer and Irrigation Specialist.
Last year,Compton's company has been selling about 10 irrigation systems a month. That's compared to
10 in a whole year in 2010 and 2011. Compton says his irrigation system saved his corn crop from last year's drought by yielding 50 more bushels an acre than what other farmers saw.

Late rallies key EMCC Lions to road baseball doubleheader sweep of Northwest Rangers |
SENATOBIA – With three home runs in game one and a three-run seventh inning in the nightcap, the visiting Lions of East Mississippi Community College swept Northwest Mississippi Community College, 8-5 and 3-2, in a pair of comeback division baseball wins late Wednesday afternoon at Ranger Field.
In the opener, EMCC evened the score at 1-1 in the top of the third on a leadoff home run by Columbus' Josh Tentoni – his second of the year – off Northwest starting pitcher Colt Burns. After the Rangers went back ahead 2-1 with a solo tally in the bottom of the third, EMCC freshman outfielder Jason Yarbor, of Meridian High School, blasted his first collegiate home run to left field in the fourth. The two-out, two-run shot put the visitors back on top 3-2. Allowing just three hits through the first four innings, EMCC starting pitcher Smokey Ethridge was reached for two runs on three hits in the fifth inning to give the Rangers a temporary 4-3 advantage. In the top of the sixth, Burns seemed to tire and walked the bases loaded. With Burns staying on the mound with two outs, Tentoni singled up the middle for a pair of runs to reclaim the lead, 5-4, for the visitors. Fellow Columbus High School alum Leroy Wilson then followed with a three-run blast to left-center field – his team-leading fifth homer of the year – to increase the lead to 8-4. Ethridge, a West Lauderdale product, improved to a team-best 5-2 on the year by going five innings for the victory, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out six and not issuing a walk. Tyler Jones, from Victory Christian Academy, worked the final two innings for the Lions, giving up a run without a hit in the final frame. Offensively for EMCC in game one, Tentoni, Yarbor and Zane Migues each collected two hits apiece to pace the Lions' eight-hit team effort. On the strength of an 11-strikeout pitching performance by Northwest's Garrett Radicioni, the home-standing Rangers took a 2-0 lead into the last inning. In total command on the mound, Radicioni had only allowed a fourth-inning single by Yarbor heading into the seventh inning. Northwest's two runs in the fifth were of the unearned variety off EMCC starter Blake Thomas, another West Lauderdale product. In the top of the seventh, Yarbor led things off with a single up the middle for his second hit of the game and fourth of the afternoon. A subsequent single to right-center field by Brett Tortorich chased Radicioni from the hill. Tentoni greeted reliever Garrett Blaylock with a run-scoring single for his fourth RBI of the day. Wilson then tied the contest at 2-2 with a single through the left side for his fourth RBI of the twin-bill. Two batters later with Cody Reed now pitching for Northwest, EMCC sophomore Tyler Bonaventure picked an opportune time for his only hit of the day – a run-scoring single to center that plated Wilson with the decisive third run. After Corbin Johnson closed out the fifth inning for EMCC's Thomas, Lion sophomore right-hander Blake Roberts worked the final two innings to earn his first EMCC victory in five decisions. The former New Hope High School standout allowed just one hit and fanned a pair to close the door in game two and complete the Lions' road sweep over the Rangers. Pitching was indeed at a premium during the doubleheader, as both teams combined for just 25 hits in 14 total innings of baseball. EMCC out-hit Northwest both games, 8-6 in the opener and 6-5 in the nightcap. Entering the day in second place behind front-running Itawamba, Northwest fell to 18-18 overall on the year and 9-5 in MACJC North Division play. Coach Chris Rose's EMCC Lions, now 14-19 overall and 5-10 within the division, step out of division play one final time this regular season by traveling to Summit to take on Southwest Mississippi Community College in a 4 p.m. Saturday doubleheader. |

Hank's restaurant in legal battle with city
By Chris Beattie, email@example.com
Hank's Texas Grill has been granted a temporary restraining order against the city of McKinney, and a hearing next week will determine whether the order should be permanent.
Hank's, a restaurant at the southeast corner of White Avenue and Central Expressway in McKinney, filed for the order Aug. 23 in the 366th District Court and obtained its first legal leverage against the city, which Hank's owner Ron Reynolds says "has harassed us for 10 years."
City personnel, namely members of the McKinney police, fire and code-enforcement departments, must stay off Hank's property without the restaurant's permission, invitation or probable cause. And McKinney police must refrain from stopping anyone leaving the restaurant without probable cause.
In response to the granted order, the city filed its own petition for a restraining order against Hank's the following day, outlining for the court the code violations and requesting Hank's be closed until it came into compliance.
The alleged violations were determined June 12 during a site inspection conducted by McKinney fire, building, construction and food-service department members. It was a follow-up inspection to the last inspection performed in December 2010.
The city cited 11 sections of its Code of Ordinances of which Hank's is in violation. Code violations involve the lack of required emergency systems and lighting, unapproved hanging materials, entrance and exit hindrances, and kitchen-area accessibility, among many others.
The city's petition states that "the premises in their current condition are in violation of a number of the city's ordinances and create a danger to the life, health, property and safety of the public."
Hank's management says the inspection was overblown and violations were "made up" because the city wants a reason to shut the restaurant down.
"We built the restaurant the way they told us to build it," said Reynolds, who opened Hank's in 2003. "A lot of them are fake violations, things they'd never bring up anywhere else. ...The city of McKinney is anti-small business. If it's a corporate business, like a Chili's, they're not going to treat them like this."
Reynolds listed examples of what he deems made-up or trivial violations. He said the city's recent inspection violated the restaurant for stacking Styrofoam cups in cardboard boxes to the ceiling, and for having cracked or faded paint on parking lot stripes.
Another such violation, he said, was having a Texas flag on the same wall it's been since the restaurant opened, as well as hanging other sports team banners, beer banners and deer heads around the restaurant.
Stated in the city's petition is the reason for such wall coverings being in violation: "The city has not been provided documentation to demonstrate whether these items meet the applicable interior finish requirements."
To Reynolds and his son, Hank's general manager David Reynolds, the 15-page violations report is just the latest episode of "harassment" from the city, which issued the restaurant its first Certificate of Occupancy on March 14, 2003.
According to documents that Hank's showed the court in asking for the restraining order, the city issued updated certificates in 2006 and again in December 2008 after it "had on three separate occasions inspected and measured the restaurant." The city ruled the restaurant's occupancy load at 711 people (391 for the patio area) in that certificate.
The documents state that on July 12 of this year, city representatives came to Hank's and ruled it could not have more than 300 occupants and that it must have a "fire watch" on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings - someone selected by the city to count the occupants at any time and ensure Hank's does not exceed its load limit.
David, who has managed Hank's since it opened, told the court that the city "has without interruption, through the police and fire departments, come on Hank's Texas Grill's property without invitation, permission or probable cause harassing and intimidating its patrons and staff" more than 500 times since 2003.
He described how police drive through the Hank's parking lot "in a slow and menacing manner" sometimes as many as 15 times in a two-and-a-half-hour period. Hank's staff began videotaping such police conduct, for which David said he was arrested.
The documents also state that McKinney police and fire personnel have on multiple occasions "stopped live music from being performed and ordered...patrons out of the restaurant costing Hank's Texas Grill thousands of dollars."
"When we opened, the city said, 'We want you to be successful, we're just here to help,'" Reynolds said. "But when they shut you down and force all of your customers to leave several times, you don't see it that way."
The most recent incident highlighted in the documents involved restaurant manager Bobby Andrews, who was allegedly stopped by police outside Hank's the morning of July 22. David told the court that when Andrews asked police why they stopped him, they told him, "You were leaving that bar."
Hank's management met with Asst. Police Chief Randy Roland four days later, and Roland told them Andrews was stopped for failing to signal a turn and assured them there would be audio and video recording of the stop, according to the application.
The document states that Hank's requested the recording but the city claimed no such tape exists, and that when Andrews' license tag was provided, the city had no record of the stop.
Also in the application, Hank's management references other incidences of what they deem infringement on theirs and restaurant patrons' civil rights.
"We feel like we've been grossly abused," Reynolds said. "This is our life. We've been here every day since 2002, and the city is trying to close us down."
The McKinney Police Department deferred commenting on the situation to the city staff, who in turn deferred to a later time. "We cannot comment on pending or ongoing litigation," City Manager Jason Gray said this week.
Litigation will continue at Tuesday's hearing, which Reynolds said will be "more like a trial" and could last a few days given the "volumes of information" and video Hank's has on past and recent incidents involving the city.

If you can't compete then use the "system" to go after your competition!
Nothing surprises me in McKinney. "

" David probably refused to provide free meals to several of McKinney's old, morbidly obese cops and they are conspiring to make him relent. Nothing like a little blackmail to get what you want.
Hang in there, David. I'm going to make it a point to keep eating at Hanks. There are lots more folks just like me in and around McKinney. You will win in the end. "

" McKinney has become a joke. They treat small business owners like dirt UNLESS that owner is 'in' with city bigwigs. The tactics they are using on Hanks remind me of what they did to the Gun Range on 380. A few liberals wanted it shut down so the jackbooted thugs who call themselves 'city servants' do their bidding. Disgraceful. The city officials behind this should move to China where such tactics are the norm. "
Mary Jane wrote on Sep 20, 2012 5:30 PM:
" Hank's Texas Grill is among the best food and music venues in North Texas, and I believe that this is harrassment when 80 violations are found in one visit. The city went after Dawgs n Hawgs, earlier, and it is still in business. Patrons and fans please don't let apathy get in the way and give the city the chance to shut them down. Make your views known!

The new barn at the 4- H Fairgrounds has taken shape and is receiving electrical installations. The 80' x 474' pole building erected by FBI Buildings, Inc. replaces the livestock barn and show area which stood on the same location. The former building was sold at auction and hsmantled. The new facility has the added features of being insulated and completely enclosed. This makes it available year- round for events and provides a place for rental storage except when needed for the Howard County 4- H Fair.

Electrical chairman, Alan Gillogly, said 5,000 pieces of electrical material will eventually go into the ceiling when all pieces down to nuts are counted. He added that about two miles of electrical wire will be reauired. One hundred and sixteen 25Ow metal halide lights and nearly the same number of smaller bulbs will be installed. He and co- chairman, Bob Hochstedler, have headed crews of varying sizes ( nearly 30 on one Saturday) of Lions who volunteer their time and tools to work on the electrical installations.

Over 100 helpers make the Farm Bureau sponsored event possible, this being the 13th or 14th year. Above are Eric Altman, Karen Hainlen, Abby Rose, and Sarah Cotton.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- You always hope the people running the team for which you root know something you dont. Thursday the Phillies asked their fans to take a leap of faith with them.
These have been times of wavering faith in Philadelphia. The football coach with more years with the same NFL team than any other and fewer championships than anyone who has at least one has watched his listen, Im in charge grumbles cause the Eagles to collapse upon themselves. The 76ers were able to use the chaff released from the temporary elation over the Andrew Bynum trade to distract from the fact that they used $9.5 million of cap space this season to have Spencer Hawes and Kwame Brown on their roster -- but Bynums knees have erased the camouflage. As for the Flyers ... at least a lockout prevents another bad choice in net.
The Phillies have by and large avoided the preemptive groan of doom in recent years. Its what a World Series victory and aggressively getting pitchers like Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee will do for an organization. However, four seasons have passed since that championship, and this fall there was no postseason baseball whatsoever. And that has the natives restless.
The first significant move of this winter arrived as Ruben Amaro Jr. was flying out of Music City, a trade that sent Vance Worley and erstwhile top pitching prospect Trevor May to Minnesota for a little slap-hitting centerfielder named Ben Revere. Both pitchers trade value was down -- Worley because he struggled to pitch through a bone spur he ultimately had removed in September, May because he struggled to control his high-grade fastball and curve.
That said, dealing a low-salary guy who basically helped everyone forget the monumental disappointment that was Joe Blanton -- who, mind you, got an absolutely ridiculous two-year, $15 million contract from the Angels this week -- and a good Double-A prospect used to get you, say, a home run. Any home run. (Revere has zero big-league homers in more than 1,000 plate appearances.)
If Revere covers enough ground in left-center field to allow Darin Ruf to awkwardly roam there and mash beaucoup home runs for the Phillies, that will be a relief. But when you are down a No. 4 starter, there is a need for something more than that.
Revere did hit .292 last season, despite the fact that opposing defenses could apply the sink in policy you once employed against the last pick of the stickball league draft. He doesnt strike out much, but doesnt walk a lot either. He stole 40 bases in about three-quarters of a full season. Someday when Jimmy Rollins finally accepts the leadoff spot no longer is his oyster, he will be there.
Theres a chance Revere will develop into another Michael Bourn, who did his best to put a seed of regret in the Brad Lidge trade that sent him to Houston. Bourn is available as a free agent this winter if you have $75 million lying around. So there are upsides to this trade.
Here are the fears: Roy Halladay seemed very mortal last season. If that is a trend, then the Phillies starting rotation has come back to earth. Worley would have been a pillow for that fall; without him that job at the moment is on Kyle Kendricks right shoulder. Maybe hes up to it. Anyone want to place a wager on it, though?
Then theres the domino effect: If the Phillies can parlay the trade and the financial savings Revere affords them into an established run-producing corner outfielder, it makes it worth it. However, that has issues of its own. Are they going to gamble big money on Josh Hamilton? Do Ryan Ludwick, Nick Swisher or Cody Ross provide enough competence?
Revere fills a hole the Phillies absolutely had to fill. The thought of John Mayberry Jr. spending another day in center is spine-chilling. If he is the energy guy hes hyped to be, then it will be a shot in the arm this aging team needs.
The big fear is that Docs arm is shot. And if thats the case, the loss of Worley could mean a loss in faith that Amaro can return the Phillies to glory.

Nearly 80 percent personally use social media for professional purposes. Facebook dominates for professional use, by personnel at all levels within companies. Half of companies claim to be fairly or well along in their social media use and development. Overall, the future is expected to be bright for social media within U.S. organizations.

Then? Lots of time and lots of luck -- with a rugged shoreline and savage sea swell, this isn't an island built for landings.
According to one guide, more people have reached the summit of Everest than have landed at Boreray since the National Trust took ownership in 1957.
North Sentinel Island 400 miles from Myanmar
North Sentinel is one of the 572 islands making up the Andaman chain in the Indian Ocean's Bay of Bengal.
It's surrounded by dangerous reefs, but North Sentinel is intimidating because of its inhabitants. The Sentinelese want nothing to do with the modern world and have repeatedly rebuffed attempts to make peaceful contact.
Reaching North Sentinel Island: You're kidding, right? If the above description didn't put you off, this article about a pair of fishermen who strayed onto the island certainly should.
Rockall 270 miles from Ireland
If you think Boreray sounds forbidding, try sailing 187 miles west of it. Rockall is the tip of an extinct volcano reaching 20 meters (about 65 feet) above sea level, in seas with waves recorded as high as 29 meters (95 feet).
In 1955, the British Empire, in its final territorial acquisition, seized Rockall -- allegedly due to fears the Soviets would build a missile battery on it.
Reaching Rockall: In the words of the recently minted Rockall Club, "visiting Rockall is difficult, completely weather dependent and not cheap."

The Obama administration is moving toward increasing aid to the Syrian opposition, including providing nonlethal military equipment and possibly strategic military training, sources told CNN Tuesday.
The changes are under discussion with allies as well, as part Secretary of State John Kerry's meetings this week in Europe, a senior administration official said.
The sources said the United States is not considering providing weapons.
The administration is also moving toward giving humanitarian aid directly to the Syrian Opposition Coalition, the official said, adding that this was already happening in limited amounts.
The consideration was first reported on Tuesday by The Washington Post.
The United States is also looking to remove restrictions on "dual-use" equipment, such as those involving communications, body armor, flak jackets, night-vision equipment and military vehicles, according to another source familiar with the policy discussions.
Such items are defensive in nature, but they could be used to aid in combat. The training would be intended to help rebels allocate resources and set objectives, strategize and possibly train a potential police force, the source said.
"They are doing a redefinition of what is lethal," the source said. "They have been working on this for a while."
The source said the United States is also helping the new Syrian government in exile get on its feet by developing government institutions, strategic communications and outreach.
The increase is being done in coordination with the Europeans. A senior European diplomat said that though the European Union is not lifting its arms embargo against Syria, its members are moving to loosen restrictions on nonlethal military aid -- including night-vision goggles, body armor and possible military training. Each EU nation would decide on its own what to supply, the official said.

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Billy McKinney chosen for 2012 Under Armour All-America Game
Kevin Hageland, email@example.com
On Wednesday, Plano West senior outfielder Billy McKinney was selected to play in the 2012 Under Armour All-America Baseball Game.
The game showcases 36 of the best high school players in the country competing in an American vs. National match-up. The players were chosen by a committee of Baseball Factory scouts.
"We first saw Billy at the Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament in January," said Steve Bernhardt, Under Armour All-America Game selection chairman and executive vice president of baseball operations at Baseball Factory. "He really stood out to our scouts and is one of the best all-around hitters in the class. It should be a fun match-up to watch when Billy faces some of the most dominating pitchers in his class."
The Under Armour All-America Game is set for 12:30 p.m. Aug. 18 at Wrigley Field in Chicago and will air live on the MLB Network.

Abstract: José Oliver is a multilingual poet of Andalusian descent who writes poetry in German. His first poetry was published in the mid-eighties and his writings were seen as part of migrant literature (also referred to in the seventies as guestworker literature). He has however moved beyond those boundaries and has written himself into ("eingeschrieben") the German language and his poetry is characterised by a breaking- up ("auf-brechen") of the language and thereby creating sound and word structures which strip away the common usage in an attempt to regain the original meanings of words.The interview with José Oliver was conducted in February 2005 in Hausach in the Black Forest.

Cousins, Ben (PLAAS, University of the Western Cape, 2011)[more][less]
Abstract: This report describes the 'living law' of land in one part of Msinga, a deep rural area of KwaZulu-Natal. It presents research findings from the Mchunu and Mthembu tribal areas, where a three-year action-research project was carried out by staff of the Mdukutshani Rural Development Programme. Launched in 2007, at a time when implementation of the Communal Land Rights Act of 2004 (CLRA) appeared imminent, the project aimed to gain a detailed understanding of land tenure in Msinga, facilitate local-level discussion of potential solutions to emerging problems around land rights, provide information on the CLRA to residents and authority structures, and help generate ideas on how local people could engage with the new law. Meetings, interviews and focus groups convened by the project between 2007 and 2009 generated lively discussions and debates on a range of issues and problems related to land tenure in Msinga. Policy-makers need to consider how to convene conversations of this kind, on a large scale, before they launch a new round of tenure reform policy formulation and law making. Our experience suggests that well designed processes are critically important to ensure informed discussion, but also that ordinary rural people, not just their leaders, are more than ready to engage in debates about policies that could have major impacts on their lives.

Abstract: This report investigates emerging trends evident in the limited literature available on the impact of land restitution on livelihoods, and suggests ways of thinking about, and planning for, livelihoods. The report has a two-fold emphasis: its primary focus is on rural restitution claims where land has been restored, but it also addresses rural land reform more generally. Where land ownership has been transferred to land reform beneficiaries, similar patterns and challenges may arise, regardless of whether the land was acquired through the redistribution or the restitution route.

Abstract: HIV/AIDS continues to ravage sub-Saharan Africa, and in South Africa accounts for 30% of all mortality, making it the leading cause of death. The epidemic has had other negative effects, which have not been fully realised. Among these is the fact that, paradoxically, the awareness programmes implemented to prevent major spread of HIV/AIDS have complicated the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).

Abstract: About two thirds of the WTO's around 150 members are developing countries. They play an increasingly important and active role in the WTO because of their numbers, because they are becoming more important in the global economy, and because they increasingly look to trade as a vital tool in their development efforts. An attempt is made in this paper to examine whether the WTO policies have positive or negative effect on the trade of developing countries. The paper further discusses that the Doha Round of Talk is a myth, a fiction, or is it a reality. Can the spirit of Doha, which launched a new round of negotiations and work with an explicit pledge to deliver development-friendly results, be redeemed or not? Finally, it analyses the special differential treatment (SDT) for developing countries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/531 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Local government is a mirror of the larger political and economic forces, cleavages and problems that are shaping South African society. It is these deeper fault lines in society, rather than the Zuma government's turnaround strategy or the 2011 local elections result, which will drive future policy and determine its effects. This is the first lesson of local government reform in all four terms of national government examined in this chapter. In each term, national policy reforms were moulded by shifting political and economic circumstances and larger national interests, not simply by the unfolding logic of the original blueprint for local government in the 1998 white paper. The outcome of eighteen years of policy reform, however, was not the new society imagined in the white paper, but an imperfect transition that is local government today: where peaceful electoral competition coexists with violent public protests, racial group areas endure in fact, even if not in law, pockets of good governance survive amidst systemic corruption and mismanagement, and national policy goals consistently exceed local government's capacity to deliver them and the economy's skills base. The second lesson flows from that reality – due to the fact that the problems of local government are so nested in the broader problems of our society, further local government policy reform and sweeping national turnaround strategies are likely to have imperfect impacts on 'the problem of local government' in South Africa.

Abstract: Primary health care (PHC) is again high on the international agenda. It was the theme of The World Health Report in 2008, thirty years after the Alma-Ata Declaration, and has been the topic of a series of significant conferences around the world throughout 2008. What have we learnt about its impact in improving population health and health equity? What more do we still need to know? These two questions framed a four-year international research/capacity-building project, "Revitalizing Health for All" (RHFA), funded by the Canadian Global Health Research Initiative, which began in 2007. The findings of a global literature review conducted by this Initiative, and focusing on comprehensive primary health care - and how it has been implemented since Alma Ata are presented. The way in which the political context has affected the comprehensiveness of PHC is considered - along with a series of proposed future PHC research areas.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE. To improve the clinical management of severely malnourished children in rural hospitals in South Africa. STUDY DESIGN. A pre- and post-intervention descriptive study in three stages: assessment of the clinical management of severely malnourished children, planning and implementing an action plan to improve quality of care, and monitoring and evaluating targeted activities. A participatory approach was used to involve district and hospital nutrition teams in all stages of the research. SETTING. Two rural Wrst-referral level hospitals (Mary Theresa and Sipetu) in Mount Frere District, Eastern Cape Province. MAIN MEASURES. A retrospective record review of all admissions for severe malnutrition to obtain patient characteristics and case fatality rates, a detailed review of randomly selected cases to illustrate general case management, structured observations in the paediatric wards to assess adequacy of resources for care of malnourished children, and in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with nursing and medical staff to identify barriers to improved quality of care. RESULTS. Before the study, case fatality rates were 50% and 28% in Mary Theresa and Sipetu hospitals, respectively. Information from case studies, observations, interviews, and focus group discussions revealed many inadequacies in knowledge, resources, and practices. The hospital nutrition team developed and implemented an action plan to improve the quality of care and developed tools for monitoring its implementation and evaluating its impact. In the 12-month period immediately after implementation, case fatality rates fell by ∼25% in both hospitals. CONCLUSION. Participatory research led to the formation of a hospital nutrition team, which identiWed shortcomings in the clinical management of severely malnourished children and took action to improve quality of care. These actions were associated with a reduction in case fatality rates. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/294 Files in this item: 1

Lalu, Premesh (Southern African Literature and Culture Centre, UKZN, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: This paper gathers together deliberations surrounding Steve Biko's I Write What I Like as it simultaneously registers the critical importance of the text as an incomplete history. Rather than presupposing the text as a form of biography or following a trend of translating Biko into a prophet of reconciliation, I argue that the text leads us towards the postcolonial problematic of self-writing. That problematic, I argue, names the encounter between self-writing and an apparatus of reading. The paper stages the encounter as a way to make explicit the text's postcolonial interests and to mark the onset of an incomplete history. This, I argue incidentally, is where the postcolonial critic may set to work to finish the critique of apartheid. Incomplete histories call attention to how that which is unintelligible in a text makes an authoritative reading difficult. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/298 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Physical inactivity is one of the leading causes of the major non-communicable diseases, which contribute substantially to the global burden of diseases, death and disability. The burden of mortality, morbidity and disability attributable to non-communicable diseases is currently greatest and is continually growing in the developing countries. Most declines in physical activity (PA) occur during the transition period when a person goes from high school to College or University. The objectives of this study were to identify perceived benefits of and barriers to PA and determine whether previous participation in PA does have an influence on these perceptions. A cross- sectional and descriptive study with quantitative design was conducted. Five hundred (500) tertiary institution students were randomly sampled from purposively selected departments and classes at each of the five government educational tertiary institutions in Rwanda. A pre-coded self-administered questionnaire with a small number of open-ended questions was administered to the students. A response rate of 425 (85%) was obtained. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data, by means of SAS version 8 software. Frequencies and percentages for mean score values with standard deviations for each perception variable were descriptively obtained. False Discovery Rate (FDR) at 5% for multiple test adjustment and Spearman's correlation (r) tests were used to identify the significant influence of previous participation on perceptions. More than 70% students were not participating in PA at tertiary level. Psychological benefits of PA were some of the most important perceived benefits cited by the students. Most of the important barriers cited concerned equipment and time constraints to exercising. Associations were found between previous participation and the current perceptions of PA. The findings of this study demonstrate that previous participation can influence perceptions of PA among the students. Physical activity promotion programmes should consider the role of these factors which should be emphasised from childhood. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/397 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Information and communication technology has been shown to be increasingly important in the education and professional practice of healthcare workers. The World Health Organisation (WHO) discusses the benefits of using ICT in the Primary Healthcare setting in terms of better access to information, improved communication between colleagues, facilitating continuing professional development and providing learning tools for healthcare professionals, patients and the community as a whole. This review of the literature describes the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in the education and professional practice of healthcare workers and goes on to outline the challenges facing the widespread adoption of ICT. The conclusion is that ICT does indeed have a positive role to play in both the education and professional practice of healthcare workers, including physiotherapists, as long as it is implemented as an adjunct to established and proven practice, and not a replacement.

Abstract: This study examines if public libraries in a province in South Africa are ready to assume an enhanced responsibility for information literacy education, specifically that of students, and, if so, what inhibiting and facilitating factors might exist. The public libraries in the rural province of Mpumalanga provide the case site. "Readiness", at one level, refers to physical capacity and, on a second level, to more subjective attributes such as staff attitudes and beliefs. The paper reports on the first phase of the study – in which both quantitative and qualitative data were gathered by means of a questionnaire/interview survey of 57 public librarians in 46 sites. The study finds that Mpumalanga public libraries are indeed heavily engaged in serving school learners. Shortcomings in certain physical facilities, such as the lack of space and absence of retrieval tools, are inhibiting factors with the heritage of apartheid still impacting on the availability of and quality of service. The low level of professional education of public library staff is found to impede innovation in library programming. The prevailing information literacy education model largely comprises oneto- one support, although there is a fair amount of source-based group library orientation. Moving towards information literacy education will depend on a shift in conceptions of the educational role of public libraries. In the absence of recognition of their curricular role by public library authorities and educators, many public librarians are not sure that their services to school learners are legitimate. There is, however, dawning recognition that present approaches are not meeting the needs of school learners and that more effective communication with educators is required. This recognition comes from public librarians' frustrating encounters with learners rather than from insight into information literacy education theory and experience. The fundamental conclusion is that sustainable information literacy education in public libraries will depend on more dynamic leadership and on a vision of a new model of public library.

Abstract: A text only Instant Messaging (IM) built on the IETF open standard SIP/SIMPLE has been developed in line with our proposed introduction of a user-defined text Hotkey feature. These act as an on-click Affective Gesture (AG): in similitude to Face-to-Face (F2F) expressive gesture-like abilities. Given that text communication possesses expressive discourse with some presence level, we seek to show that one-click text-gesture fast-tracking enhances text communication further. For this study, we are taking a hybrid quantitative and qualitative approach. Initial Pre-trial results have shown that an AG approach is more likely to improve IM chat spontaneity/response rate. Further experimental trials are being undertaken. Mobile devices and networks are becoming more data-centric (evident in Japanese I-mode) even as mobile network voice Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) are declining, new stream of data services are required which must take cognisance of handhelds features albeit their small screen estate and input/output limitation. Given that IM is entrenched in the social space, especially among teenagers and gaining wide adoption in the business place, we believe extensions are required for IM steep uptake in the mobile world, much as SMS has gained prominence. Enhanced input mechanisms for handheld IM system are expected to increase co-presence between handheld users and their desktop-based counterparts while in a synchronous discussion.

Abstract: Text communication can be perceived as lacking in chat spontaneity, or plastic, due to medium limitations during interaction. A form of text messaging, Instant Messaging (IM), is now on the uptake, even on mobile handhelds. This paper presents results of using affective gesture to rubberise IM chat in order to improve synchronous communication spontaneity. The experimental design makes use of a text-only IM tool, running on handhelds, built with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and the SIP Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE). The tool was developed with a novel user-defined hotkey – a one-click context menu that fast-tracks the creation and transmission of text-gestures and emoticons. A hybrid quantitative and qualitative approach was taken in order to enable data triangulation. Data collected from user trials affirms that the affective gesture hotkey facility improves chat responsiveness, thus enhancing chat spontaneity.

Abstract: Introduction: The Local Government: Municipal Systems Act 32 of 2000 (hereafter 'the Municipal Systems Act') provides that the municipal manager is responsible for the appointment of staff, other than managers that report directly to the municipal manager (the so-called section 56 managers), in a municipality (s 55(1)(e) of the Municipal Systems Act). This is significant given that the municipal manager is the head of the municipal administration and also the accounting officer for the municipality (s 82(1)(a) of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act 117 of 1998 (hereafter 'the Municipal Structures Act'), s 55(1) and (2) of the Municipal Systems Act and s 60 of the Local Government: Municipal Finance Management Act 56 of 2003 (hereafter 'the MFMA')). Political interference in the recruitment and appointment processes undermines this framework and has been cited as one of the reasons for the dysfunction at local government (Department of Co-operative Governance State of Local Government Report (2009) 67).

Abstract: Introduction: All women face similar status problems in the private and public spheres of life but it is alleged that, as members of a religious community, Muslim women experience another inequality. This double inequality has resulted in a dichotomy between their public lives governed by secular laws and constitutions, and their private lives governed by religion. To date this conflict remains unresolved in various Muslim and non-Muslim countries. As will be indicated, commercial, criminal and penal codes were easily secularised but personal codes remained governed by religion. Traditional interpretations of Islam govern personal laws and as a result personal law codes conflict with the constitutions of Muslim majority and minority countries. While the constitutions of these countries guarantee equal rights to all citizens, the personal law codes privilege men over women in the areas covered by these personal laws resulting in the inequality of the sexes. There does not, however, appear to be any Islamic justification for this state of affairs. The practice of Muslims today, as opposed to the spirit of equality in Islam as contained in its primary sources, discriminates against women.
