OPINION: Scratch my back to scratch yours
- Posted on Monday 6 June 2011 - 10:45Ben Ofosu-Appiah, AfricaNews contributor based in Tokyo, JAPANThere is a strong perception out there that the two dominant political parties in Ghana today seem to have entered into a tacit, unwritten agreement to chop and let me chop Ghana small; whenever in power. This is setting a dangerous precedent for the country and it threatens the very foundations of our democracy.This tacit and unwritten agreement enjoins the party in power to disregard evidence of corruption of its predecessor and embark upon its own corruption. They play; watch my back and I will watch yours; while the economy is pillaged and allowed to bleed to death like a war casualty. Any call for action to ensure probity and accountability is ignored with contempt while the rot and stealing go on.
The defenders of the status quo think it is vindictive to seek justice. Under NPP's eight years of rule there was massive corruption everywhere. Everybody knew that, from castle kickbacks to Ghana@50. Anytime allegations of corruption were made, the usual response was; show me the evidence; it is only a perception. Now are you surprised that the NDC government under Mills has adopted the same response? Elsewhere in the press, Woyomi and Twum Boafo both leading members of NDC are calling on Rawlings to provide evidence of corruption in the current government that has been talking about. Under Kufuor, nobody in NPP was able to speak out against corruption in their own government. Even Haruna Esseku, the former chairman of NPP made half hearted attempts to retract his castle kickback allegations. Nobody in Ghana has the courage to take on his own party's government the way Rawlings is doing.
Rawlings is right about this "scratch my back and I will scratch yours politics" being perpetrated by Mills and his NDC government. This is the only thing that has prevented Mills from investigating and punishing corruption of the yesteryears in NPP government and also in his own NDC government. There is clear lack of leadership in the current administration. Now, don't get me wrong. Mills is a good man, he seems honest and has very good intentions but he doesn't come across as a political leader. He is a weak leader, and his hands off style is creating a power vacuum and leadership paralysis for the country. Everybody around him is playing president.
WE NEED A STRONG LEADER, LEADERSHIP WITH INTEGRITY AND WILLINGNES TO PURSUE PROBITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE LETTER in the current administration and the ones preceding it. Corruption needs to be punished and shamed not glorified.
What is happening in North Africa and the Middle East should send a warning signal to all politicians who engage in corruption and nation wrecking activities. When the people rise up, their anger cannot be contained.
The real revolution is on the way....it is coming.......it will sweep all of the so called political elites. It will make JUNE 4th seems like a child's play.
A few political idiots cannot continue to steal from the state and play "watch my back and I watch your back" while they use the court system they have corrupted and the lodges to protect themselves and their ill gotten wealth. When the revolution comes, it won't spare them.
The anger of the masses will consume them......it will make the Middle East Spring Revolution and the Orange Revolution of Ukraine, plus the Phillipino Revolutions that toppled Estrada, Aquino etc and the anger of the Thai people that drove Thaksin out of power and constantly check the rot in the Thai political system look small like child's play. The Ghanaian Revolution will be bloody, the echoes of LET THE BLOOD FLOW will be heard again. Those who have constantly fed on the state depriving millions of Ghanaians of their God given right to a better life, the anger of the people will be visited upon them and they will find no refuge anywhere on this earth to run to for help.
Democracy may be good but the way it is practiced in Africa, without checks and balances, is a fat joke. Just three days ago I was asking myself whether what has happened to John Edwards in the US could happen in Ghana in the way of say a presidential candidate diverting political contributions for his personal use. Remember John Edwards was a vice presidential candidate of the Democratic Party and a onetime presidential aspirant. And again remember, there is a Democratic administration in office, the Attorney General is a Democrat appointed by a Democratic President. There were rumours that the political donations or funds for Akuffo-Addo's failed presidential bid for 2008 couldn't be accounted for. Within the NPP itself there was finger pointing and accusations and counter accusations. What a wretched country we are, because we have decided to throw probity and accountability out of the window. Don't you think that as a nation we should cherish this valued tradition more else we can't make progress?

Lid sinds October 2011~~~~~~~~~~~~[img]The African nations remain the most troubled in the world, politically, socially, economically with many of the least developed nations being in Africa. Some of these poorest countries of the world are in Africa and many remain perpetually paralyzed with problems of starvation and poverty, HIV and widespread illnesses and political corruption or human rights abuse. A comprehensive examination of all the problems in Africa could be given in the context of individual countries and the most troubled regions are Somalia, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Chad, Malawi and Sudan.
Somalia – Somalia has been adversely affected by droughts, famine and civil war since 1991 and as many as 300,000 people have been killed at that time. The country was plagued by anarchy and factional fighting although the famine was partly controlled by the UN. The country remains disturbed being a hub of the al-Qaida network in Africa and the al-Shabaab militia and other extremist elements in the region. The past famine and civil war thus seem to be continuing in Africa although in a different form with continued unrest among warlords and the disturbance created by the militias and terrorist groups. Somalia faces frequent droughts and is also among the world's poorest countries with a transitional government that has failed to provide any long term stability in the region. Contaminated water and deforestation have led to soil erosion, drought and illnesses in the country with life expectancy just above 45 years. Yet the country has a large reserve of natural resources ranging from uranium, iron ore, copper and even large oil reserves that are unexploited and neglected.
Issues & Possibilities: Drought and poverty remain the two most important problems in Somalia and to tackle these, environmental measures should include a ban on deforestation and proper utilization of the country's natural resources and oil reserves.
Ethiopia - Ethiopia borders Somalia and shares the Somalian problems of frequent droughts, uprisings and coups, refugee problems and extreme poverty. The problems in Ethiopia are aggravated by its high mortality rate with 14 deaths per 1000 and very high incidence of AIDS with as many as 1.5 million people living with the disease. The country's economy primarily depends on agriculture and yet frequent droughts and poor agricultural practices have left the country as one of the least developed in the world.
Issues & Possibilities: The main problems of Ethiopia are extreme poverty and very high risks of AIDS. The poverty can be controlled with improved agricultural practices and strong environmental awareness among the people and government so that the region is less affected by drought or erosion. The control of AIDS is only possible with better contribution of social organizations and support groups in educating the people and spreading awareness.
Zimbabwe – Here of course, political corruption and Robert Mugabe's policies remain the main cause of unrest and poor development in the country. Mugabe has been the only ruler of the country since 1987 and his continued rigging and vote tampering practices during elections have crippled both the political and economic systems of the country. There is a shortage of basic commodities and Mugabe's supporters have been accused of gross human rights violations towards political opponents. Heavy metal and toxic waste pollution as well as environmental degradation with high rates of poaching are some major problems. The country along with other African countries in the southern region of the continent (like Botswana and Lesotho) has very high rates of AIDS in the population.
Issues & Possibilities: The major problems in the country seem to be political corruption, human rights violations, AIDS and environmental degradation. Political corruption however lies at the root of all other problems as Mugabe's control has done considerable harm to the political and economic fabric of the country and despite being a parliamentary democracy, the government's authoritarian rule suggests extreme human rights violations. The only solution here seems to be the replacement of Robert Mugabe's government with a true democratic government and an end to all political corruption.
Chad - Chad is perpetually troubled with internal conflicts and three decades of civil war with a rebellion that sporadically flares up between the government and rebel groups. Rebel groups in Sudan have also created problems in Chad and rebel groups continue to create political disruption, although Chad remains controlled by an ethnic minority. Some environmental issues seem to be waste disposal and inadequate supplies of water although the main problem in Chad remains conflicts and political disruption created by rebel groups. In recent months, thousands of residents were evicted by the government following a coup attempt, according to Human Rights News. Chad's HIV/AIDS problems are very high with 4.8% of the population having the disease.
Issues & Possibilities: The World Bank has entered into agreements with the government of Chad that the country's oil revenues would be used to alleviate poverty and tackle refugee problems. Refugees from Sudan's Darfur and internal conflicts due to the presence of rebel groups are the most important problems in the region that in turn have created poverty and led to poor environmental management by the government. The primary focus of the international community should be tackling the conflicts in Chad.
Malawi – Malawi in Africa is one of the most economically backward countries in the world with inadequate infrastructure and limited supplies for its education system. HIV/AIDS is a major problem in Malawi and Malawi needs to improve its rural economic growth, with improved governance, family health and basic education. Malawi faces a perennial food shortage coupled with rapid population growth. The basic education system and quality of education needs to improve as also the country's economy and agricultural resources. The gross national income per capita of Malawi is $ 720.
Issues & Possibilities: The main problem in Malawi is its economic backwardness and it is counted as among the least developed countries in the world. The economic condition of the country is at the root of all problems for Malawi as its basic educational system and agricultural resources are dependent and in turn drive the country's economy. All problems of Malawi are due to the poor economic condition of the country and Malawi should be one of the foremost countries in Africa that needs financial help from the other nations. Despite some efforts by USAID, Malawi remains rather neglected by the international community and continues to face severe shortage of food, poor economic growth and lack of basic education for its people.
Sudan – Among the major countries that face strife within the African continent, Sudan is an important part of Africa as it is the largest country in the region. Sudan has a history of civil wars and extreme ethnic conflicts. Ethnic conflicts in Darfur have in recent times resulted in 400,000 deaths in the region and millions of people have been displaced adding to the instability in the region. There are frequent reports of government oppression, armed conflicts and lack of humanitarian assistance in the region. Conflicts continue in Darfur between Sudanese army, government-backed militia and armed opposition group factions. The US government provides extensive humanitarian assistance to Sudan and has been trying to provide for the humanitarian needs of the displaced and conflict affected people in the region.
Issues & Policies: The priority of the international community should be a resolution of the conflicts in Darfur and finding a solution for the millions of displaced people in the region. Internal and ethnic conflicts remain the most important problem in the region and poor governance and poor infrastructure are also responsible for Sudan's various problems. Along with provisions of humanitarian assistance, a political solution for Darfur should be the priority and extensive and persistent international efforts would be required to resolve internal ethnic conflicts in the region.
Although other African countries are affected by similar problems and issues, the magnitude of human rights abuse and problems of AIDS and poverty would be among the highest in these countries. African countries need focused attention from the more developed nations and more country specific aids and political solutions. The key to a prosperous Africa would mean finding specific solutions for the problems as related to specific regions.

Help to buy a home
If you're on a low income, you may be able to get help to buy your own home.
Birmingham City Council works closely with registered social landlords (RSLs) and private developers to make homes available on the Affordable Housing Scheme. Affordable housing is aimed at people who are:
- first time buyers
- unable to afford to buy a home on the open market
- living in areas affected by demolition and clearance
- looking to rent a home but cannot afford to pay market rents.
There are a number of options available to help people afford somewhere to live:
HomeBuy scheme
HomeBuy is government-backed scheme. It is funded by the Housing Corporation, which has responsibility for registered social landlords (Housing Associations), in England.
To find out more, call Orbit First Step - who look after the scheme for our area -
on 0345 850 2050, or visit the website www.orbithomebuyagents.co.uk.
If you can get help, it means you'll be able to borrow 25% of the value of the home you want: and there'll be no monthly payments on the loan. So your outgoings will be less than if you were buying in the ordinary way.
You have to repay the money when you sell your home. This means that you have to pay back 25% of what your home's worth when you sell it.
Shared Ownership
Shared Ownership means buying part of your home and renting the rest. Then, when you can afford it, you can buy the whole of your home outright, if that's what you want.
If you're a tenant of Birmingham City Council, find out more about Shared Ownership through Right To Buy. Some housing associations also offer homes for shared ownership.
To find out more, contact individual housing associations directly.
Discounted sales
The council negotiates with developers to set aside a number of properties to be sold at a discounted price. These homes usually sell at between 50% and 70% of the full market price.
Intermediate rent
These schemes offer good quality, private accommodation at a reduced price on six month assured shorthold tenancies. There is no right to buy these properties.
Assessment of needs
Each RSL or private developer will carry out a detailed assessment of each applicant's circumstances to see if they are eligible to take part in the scheme. The general criteria states:
- single applicants must earn no more than £25,000 a year
- couples must not earn more than £40,000 per year
- applicants must meet conditions set by the local authority
- applicants must not have any county court judgements
- applicants already renting a property must have clear rent accounts
- applicants must be able to get a mortgage and have enough income to meet the costs of running the property they want to buy.
Want to find out more?
If you want to find out more about affordable housing you can download the leaflet at the bottom of this page. There is also an affordable housing application form which you can download and post to the address stated on the form.
Alternatively you can send us your questions using the form below.
The personal data collected on this form will be used in full compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and in accordance with the Council's published privacy policy.

Tennis – it's a rough sport
Tennis – it's a rough sport
I don't generally watch much sport – I like F1 more than most things, but since Wimbledon is just 5 miles down the road from me its hard not get swept up with tennis fever which grips the nation for two weeks every year and the hope that Andy Murray will make it to the final. Sadly that was not to be, but the way Andy Roddick played in the final yesterday was just phenomenal. He was unlucky not to win.
In the final set, Federer returned a deep lob from Roddick with an overhead shot that looked effortless. And wayward. But it was hit with enough side spin to bring it back well inside the sideline – maybe as much as 30cm, whereas from the angle I saw it hit, it looked like it would go out by at least as much. The cloth covering, and the deformation of both the ball and the racquet strings make it possible for the top players to get the ball to spin at over 3000 rpm, but what fascinates me is how much the spin affects the ball's trajectory.
The spin affects the boundary layers that form on the surface of the ball, the location of the stagnation point and the wake behind the ball by affecting where the boundary layer separates from the surface. Unlike a football or a golf ball, a tennis ball is not smooth. The surface is very rough, increasing the effect of the spin on the surrounding air flow.
In conventional boundary layer theory, the roughness of the surface only affects the flow if the roughness disturbs the laminar sub-layer – the thin layer of fluid that moves smoothly over the surface, even if the flow is turbulent. For this to happen, the roughness has to be approximately the same size as the sub-layer thickness.
Roughness also plays a role in electronics cooling, increasing both system pressure drop and heat transfer. Most surfaces in an electronics system can be considered rough when viewed in the context of the boundary layer concerned. On a PCB, flat pack components protrude up into the air flow, disturbing the boundary layer that forms from the leading edge of the PCB. Boundary layers also form on the tops of these packages, and the plastic encapsulant can also be rough affecting heat transfer at the leading edge of the package where the boundary layer is very thin.
Of course this discussion about boundary layers ignores how complex the flow over a PCB really is, but hey that's what we have CFD for. What's important is to describe the situation correctly by defining how rough the various surfaces are. Like all software, CFD tools work on the GIRO system - Garbage In, Rubbish Out.

FantasticPros: Overclocks very easily Cons: runs a little lot Other Thoughts: Love it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent cpu!Pros: -Very cool running cpu. Cons: -It takes a little more voltage than when I first got it, but all electronics degrade over time. Other Thoughts: Probably the best and most well known chip that's used for quality gaming, my main pc now runs the firstname.lastname@example.com.. It runs about 10c higher though and takes more voltage. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great ProcessorPros: Wonderful processor, runs smoothly without hiccups, great overclocking abilities; a wonderful choice of processor for the price. would highly recommend. Cons: Owned this processor for over a year now, no problems with it whatsoever! Other Thoughts: would highly recommend to anyone in the market for a new processor Did you find this review helpful? |
Works greatPros: Paired this with an AsRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3 and it is quick! Cons: None! Did you find this review helpful? |
a ChampPros: this thing runs like a champ. have liquid cooling on it and the temp are so low and its overclocked to an easy 4.8ghz and it still runs strong. idles at 1.6ghz when there is no load minimizing power consumption and increasing the life span which i great. i dont regret getting this over waiting for a ivy bridge. Cons: none. Did you find this review helpful? |
AwesomePros: Fast Cons: An awesome overclocker... if you are lucky. Other Thoughts: I purchased one or myself, and a friend purchased one at the same time. I overclocked mine and could not manage to get above 4.3. Though respectable in its own right, I was able t overclock my friends to 4.8. Heat is not an issue. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Great CPU, I only wish it was more affordable. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Very fast despite not being an i7. Runs pretty cool at stock settings, but i haven't tried to over clock yet due to having the stock cooler. Cons: The fan that it comes with is pretty bad. Also the thermal paste that is already applied was not enough for mine. It over heated a few minutes after booting. bought some arctic silver and now it works great. Other Thoughts: The only reason for the 4/5 rating is the stock cooler. That aside i definitely recommend this cpu for your new rig Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent processorPros: + exceptional performance, even at stock Cons: + stock fan+heatsink is pathetic, but thats expected Did you find this review helpful? |
Best gaming CPU for your moneyPros: Much higher frame-rates in games compared to my old Phenom x4 980 @ 4Ghz. Rendering and encoding is much quicker and I can push this baby to about 4.7Ghz on air using a Xigmatek Dark Knight II. Cons: Runs about 10-12 degrees warmer than my 980 regardless of the clock when playing games or prime95. At stock clocks this CPU runs at around 28-34c idle (depending on ambient temp). At load it can reach 65c @ 4Ghz. At 4.7Ghz my PC becomes a space-heater and load temps surpass 80c. Other Thoughts: The price of this CPU has gone up here @ the EGG, it's actually more expensive than the 3570K which makes no sense at all. Still the best gaming CPU for your money (if you buy elsewhere of course). Did you find this review helpful? |

[SouL] The Reapers of Grenth is a small guild of 60 members on Gates of Madness. We currently have 10-20 members actively on during NA prime time.
We are looking for people who enjoy all avenues of the game - Dungeons, Fractals, Events, Jumping puzzles, PvP, etc.
We run nightly Fractals/Dungeons and we have a few people who run karma trains in Orr. We also have a few(not a lot) of people who only do SPvP.
We use the program Raidcall - http://www.raidcall.com/v7/download-raidcall.html as a voice chat. We prefer people using it when doing dungeons but do not expect them to speak, although we would love to hear you.
If you are new to the game or haven't done certain dungeons we won't make fun of you, we will help you.I'll take anyone who wants to learn dungeons, all you need to do is listen on voice chat! If you need help with builds, we have people who know this information for any profession and if we don't know we will kindly direct you to useful information on the internet.
*We have guild missions, looking for more people to do bounties with and advance to higher tiers!
We are the kind of guild that is made up of friends who enjoy playing together. We don't take the game too seriously where it becomes a job, but serious enough where we accomplish things and run smoothly. If you're a person (or your character is) that wants to be in a guild where you know people, have fun, and get things done then this may be the guild for you. For the most part we expect you to be 18+, we do say crude things occasionally but in a joking manner - if you don't like that sort of thing you should find a safehaven.
You can contact me through here - or you can message me in game Dez.1940
Looking forward to hearing from you!

(WICHITA, Kan.)—
For more than 30 years, a group of Wichita women gets together every Thursday to give back. Their group doesn't have a name, they don't want recognition. They just show up once a week at the Grant Chapel in north Wichita to provide some hot food, a cold drink and a little treat.They volunteer their time, but the food isn't free. Without the help of the Kansas Food Bank, this Thursday tradition wouldn't be possible. So when people thank them for the food, they say it's not just for them. Those thank yous also go to the people who donate the food and money to make it happen.
You can drop off food or donations anytime at Dillons stores in Wichita, Derby, Andover, Newton, Hutchinson, Augusta and Mulvane. Dillons has $5 and $10 boxes to make it easy for people to buy what the Food Bank needs. You can also donate this Saturday during the KWCH annual Harvest of Hope food drive. Our coverage begins at eight-o-clock during Eyewitness News Saturday Morning.

Having two young children is a wonderful joy, and it provides much fodder for meditation on philosophy. This morning the pathway into philosophy was a dispute over the availability of cranberries for my youngest son's bowl of oatmeal. The dialogue I overheard went something like this:
Son: I want cranberries.
Mom: We don't have any cranberries.
Son: We DO have cranberries.
Hmm. Indeed, we did not have cranberries. Cinnamon and sugar would have to suffice.
There's something about us as humans that causes us not only to wish reality were different at times, but also to deny reality. The Bible tells us in Romans 1 that this denial takes place at the highest level: people deny the existence of God and suppress the knowledge of Him not because of lack of evidence, but because of their desire to worship other things. Those of us who follow Jesus make a similar mistake when we deny biblical truths that don't suit our mood or desire at that moment.
This is why it is helpful to continually remind ourselves that truth is objective and external to us. In other words, we may want to have cranberries, but if we don't have any cranberries, then saying we have them is not going to get them into our bowls. I cannot make something true just by proclaiming it to be true.
And though this may sometimes seem restrictive to us, without this notion of truth we couldn't make logical statements and even communicate with one another. That, my friends, would be worse than oatmeal without cranberries, cinnamon, or sugar.

Black Radio
LP (Item 602277) Blue Note, 2012 — Condition: New Copy
An amazing new chapter in the career of Robert Glasper – one of our favorite new jazz musicians of the past decade or so! This set features loads of Glasper's enigmatic piano lines – those fluid, elliptical sounds that are always filled with plenty of soul and imagination – matched here with guest vocals from a host of key talents – including Erykah Badu, Lalah Hathaway, Musiq Soulchild, Meshell Ndegeocello, Bilal, and Lupe Fiasco! The blend is surprisingly wonderful – not a sell out at all, but a way for Glaspar's music to reach a rich new level of expression – as the vocals really help the instrumental elements come alive – and unlock this side of Robert's potential that was always lurking in the background. One of the best musical moments we've heard from Blue Note in years – with titles that include "Always Shine", "Move Love", "Ah Yeah", "Lift Off", "Afro Blue", "Cherish The Day", "Black Radio", and "Letter To Hermione". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Being a Vessell - Channelling
by Lonny Jarrett
There is a superstitious, new age, premise that many practitioners seem to hold. This notion is that the practitioner act as "channel for some sort of cosmic "energy or "divine force that comes through him or her to promote healing. Forget it. There is nothing that a person can transmit that is going to be anymore pure than his or her own integrity. Whatever comes through a practitioner will be tainted by his or her own cynicism, ambivalence, and self concern. This fact puts the burden for development for the sake of our patients squarely on the shoulders of us practitioners.

Stroke: Hesitant or Impulsive?
Topic Overview
Depending on which side of the brain was affected by a Reference stroke Opens New Window, the way a person approaches tasks may be different than it was before the stroke.
Stroke on the left side of the brain
People who have had a stroke on the left side of the brain tend to be slow, cautious, and disorganized when they are doing unfamiliar activities. They appear anxious and hesitant, which is often quite different from the way they were before the stroke.
- It may be helpful to offer reassurance or words of encouragement. But don't praise someone for imaginary progress.
- Offer praise after each step in a task. Allow time for self-correction of mistakes. If the person cannot correct the mistake, point out the error and give a hint.
Stroke on the right side of the brain
People who have had a stroke on the right side of the brain tend to be impulsive and act too quickly. They may act as if they are unaware of their problems. They often try to do things that are beyond their abilities and that may be unsafe, such as trying to walk across a room without putting on a brace and then falling as a result.

DT Swiss XX1 Freehub Body
- Item: DTS0035 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 51 g
- $98.95
Direct mount rear derailleurs, MatchMaker lever mounts, and SRAM's new XX1 drivetrain are all examples of mountain biking's current simplification trend. And if you're going to take advantage of the reduced weight and complexity of SRAM's new 1x11 drivetrain, you'll need a wheelset that's compatible with its cassette. Don't worry, this isn't as daunting as it sounds. All that's needed in order to make DT Swiss's 180, 190, 240, or 350 hubs compatible with XX1, is to swap out the existing freehub body with a XX1 Freehub Body.
The DT Swiss XX1 Freehub Body can be changed without tools and is available for standard quick-release, 10x135mm, and 12x142mm axles.

The measure of a true supercar is not how fast it goes, nor how sophisticated it is, or even how much it costs. No sir, the real proof of the supercar pudding is in its ability to attract attention. When heads turn, when fingers point, when cellphone cameras start clicking when the blonde in the BeeEm drops her cellphone in her lap and just stares then you know youre driving a supercar. Clearly, the Audi R8 Spyder qualifies even if this one is the so-called baby of the R8 clan. By DEON SCHOEMAN.

The newest of the Smithsonian Institutions great museums in America, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, is planned for completion in 2015. A centrepiece of this building will be an authentic slave cabin from South Carolina. J BROOKS SPECTOR looks at the larger significance of the acquisition.
Despite its German ownership, Bentley remains the epitome of British automotive craftsmanship, inexorably linked to very real dynamic talents. The new-generation Flying Spur may place a greater emphasis on comfort than its predecessor, but the majestic sedans athletic prowess remains undiminished even on Chinas twisty, crowded roads, as DEON SCHOEMAN finds out.
Daft Punks latest album Random Access Memories is big and lush and eye-poppingly ambitious, and I have only listened to it a few times on iTunes. So this is not a review. What this is, is a gentle appeal for you not to miss what is going to be one of the better albums of our times. By SIPHO HLONGWANE.
Hyundais first coupé since the long-defunct and mildly predatory Tiburon is not exactly what one would expect. With its hot hatch styling and oddball 2+1 door configuration, the Veloster is proof that Hyundai wants to add some charisma to the brand. However, is it really a trend-setter? By DEON SCHOEMAN.
A dramatic Haute Couture event with New York City and a red-carpeted grand staircase as a backdrop, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts Costume Institute Gala Benefit is one of the most coveted fashion extravaganzas in America. This year, daring outfits punctuated with fauxhawks, platinum blonde hairdos, cut-out studded leather symbols of punk influence on fashion, made for a theatrical night. By EMILIE GAMBADE.
Bloemfontein-born Anne Hirsch is one of a growing number of global comedians and entertainers who arent sitting around waiting for a TV broadcaster or record label to pull it together to offer them exposure. Instead, theyre using their own YouTube channels to get their material out there. And, in the case of 'The Anne Hirsch Show', its far funnier and fresher stuff than the normal content on local TV. By REBECCA DAVIS.
There is a sense of the confessional permeating the new show by Pieter-Dirk Uys. For all that he dresses up as different characters, it feels like his own personality is the character most laid bare. As if, after years of presenting his views through the mouths of others, its time to strip off the make-up and tell us more about himself. By LESLEY STONES.
Loyiso Gola shot to the top of South African comedy with his show Late Night News and continued presence on the stand-up scene. This year hell be at both Edinburgh and Montreal comedy festivals. GREG NICOLSON meets the comic as his new show, Professional Black, starts in Johannesburg.
Late last week, it was announced that plans are finally properly underway to turn an old Long Island laboratory into a permanent memorial and museum to the late Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla. For Teslas supporters, its the culmination of a 70-year battle since Teslas death to see the appropriate commemoration of the man largely responsible for our modern electricity system, and a host of other scientific advancements for which he never received sufficient credit. By REBECCA DAVIS.
Compact SUVs must count among the most successful and desirable vehicles in South Africa. While European motorists prefer estates (aka station wagons in the local vernacular), gung-ho SA drivers prefer the taller stance and off-road talents that SUVs epitomise. Fords new-generation Kuga is the latest arrival in this segment, and despite that silly name, its a worthy contender. By DEON SCHOEMAN.
Even for viewers who are well acquainted with Gerard Sekotos work and styles, the current exhibition at the Wits Art Museum will come as a revelation. Seeing his paintings arranged in rough chronological order, reflecting where he lived and worked at each point in his life provides compelling insight into Sekotos travails and his development as an artist. By J BROOKS SPECTOR.
From Omo to Sunlight, hand-washing detergent ads suggest black South African women are happiest with their hands in a tub of water while scrubbing stains. So as a new player in the game, what do you do? Repeat the stereotype, but break a Guinness World Record. Detergent brand Ariel did just that on Wednesday. By GREG NICOLSON.
You may not have heard, but according to a recent ANC statement, some wedding at Sun City is being hosted by some family. Many of the guests for the Gupta nuptials are coming from afar, and seeing that South Africa is a baffling place, it makes sense that theyd require a primer. After much deliberation, the Daily Maverick has decided to publish a top-secret Gupta wedding memo handed out to all overseas attendees. By RICHARD POPLAK.
Now poised in the early twilight of a tumultuous public life, Rev Jesse Jackson has come back to South Africa to receive one of the countrys most prestigious national awards. Hes 72 years old, but close up he is still an imposing, even formidable, physical presence that easily recalls the picture in the minds eye of the young, ever-energetic civil rights activist. Jackson is a big man he automatically claims his space and holds it easily, without effort. By J BROOKS SPECTOR.
Mars One, a private Dutch spaceflight endeavour which aims to launch a colony on Mars by 2023, opened for applications from would-be colonists last week. The not-for-profit foundation is offering you a ticket to Mars in 10 years time, and the chance to star in what it says would be the most audacious reality TV show ever dreamed of. The catch? Theres no coming back from Mars. But this apparently is no deterrent to the more than 30,000 people who have applied over the past week including six South Africans so far. By REBECCA DAVIS.
We meet in a sunny, bustling eatery in the near-in suburbs. Pieter-Dirk Uys is back in Johannesburg again, preparing for performances in May at the Theatre on the Square. The man has already been an institution for 40 years and somehow his humour, his energy and his moral outrage never seem to flag. Today is no exception. By J BROOKS SPECTOR.
The all-new Mercedes-Benz A-class is not what youd expect. What used to be a dumpy but technologically daring mini-MPV, much loved by young moms, greying empty nesters and even fastidious grannies, has suddenly evolved into a muscular, sporty premium hatchback. A radical departure from the previous A-class formula, yes. But hardly unusual in the luxury motoring context. By DEON SCHOEMAN.
Jaco Sieberhagens exhibition, The Carnival (No dogs allowed), though nowhere nearly as in-your-face as Brett Murrays Hail to the Thief, which featured The Spear, is arguably far more critical of the current regimes iniquities and two-facedness. Yet the official response to the sculptors work has been a profound silence. J BROOKS SPECTOR examines the startlingly different responses to two exhibitions.
SA Fashion Week is committed to use its two cyclical events to present the crème de la crème of local fashion, designers who passed with flying colours the test of continuously creating, manufacturing and selling their collections to the public. This is no easy task, yet Spring/ Summer 2013 had all the ingredients to impress. EMILIE GAMBADE picks the best of SAFW.
Equus is in equal parts disturbing, profound, challenging and entertaining. And as outstanding as the script is, the latest interpretation at the University of Johannesburg does every line justice. By LESLEY STONES.
Small French cars have always had a special allure and the new Clio 4 is set to continue that tradition. Its a real looker in a sea of subcompact blandness, and the cabin is a smart and edgy mix of tech and comfort. But the real news is under the bonnet By DEON SCHOEMAN.
The idea is simple: Yfm will broadcast a two-hour show every Monday night, showcasing some new South African musical artist to the audience. The station hopes to save artists in the age of pirated music, and introduce its young audience to music that isnt just a set played by a disc jockey. SIPHO HLONGWANE was there to see Mi Casa play at the first #LiveNReyired session.

In Chile, the exhumation of the poet and Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda has become a national moment. As the country tries to deal with its brutal past, its most beloved literary figure is once again stepping in to explain the world to us. By RICHARD POPLAK.
Striving for perfection is an admirable endeavour. But in automotive terms, theres more to perfection than a flawless coat of paint, an exquisitely tailored interior or a fastidiously engineered drivetrain. More abstract qualities such as heritage, tradition and character come into play, too. Infiniti may have the premium sectors major players in its sights, but its arsenal is short of some of those key ingredients. By DEON SCHOEMAN.
BMWs M-cars are a breed apart: bespoke and finely fettled versions of production models built in relatively small numbers and created with an unwavering focus on performance. The 6-Series is a large and even cumbersome coupé with room for two, a boot that can swallow two golf bags plus designer DW luggage, and an ability to cruise cross-country with bombastic ease. Does an M-version of this car make sense? By DEON SCHOEMAN.
Cadre tells the story of a young mans years in the anti-Apartheid struggle, and asks the dangerous questions about when its okay to abandon human decency for the greater good. By LESLEY STONES.
Oscar Pistorius was not present at the appeal against his bail conditions on Thursday, but he would likely have been a happy man after hearing the result. The major reason for returning to court seemed to be to appeal against the restrictiveness of the murder-accused athletes travel restraints, and it didnt take long for Judge Bert Bam to rule that Pistorius can indeed leave the country.

Tiger Picks Paddy as Player of the Year
Ever the sportsman, top-ranked Tiger Woods says he voted for fellow golfer Padraig Harrington for PGA Tour Player of the Year, according to GOLF.com.
"It was nice to see Paddy play as well as he has," Woods was quoted as saying in the article. "It was just a matter of – as I said, a matter of time. The confidence you get from winning one, and then two just proves it to you that one wasn't a fluke, and it gives you all that confidence in the world. And look how he did it; he shot 32 on the back nine on both of them."
Woods' vote, notes reporter Michael Walker Jr., is particularly significant because the World No. 1 has voted for himself in the past.
On a semi-related note, we had no idea that Utah's Healthsouth Medical Center – where Woods had arthroscopic surgery performed – served humble pie to its patients.

Vote on July 31, 2012
This Referendum will put the future of Georgia's transportation in the voters' hands on July 31, 2012. the law divides the state into 12 regions for the purpose of voting on a one percent sales tax to fund transportation projects in that region. All revenues collected in a region stay in that region. In the Atlanta region, 15 percent of funds are sent directly to local governments to fund local transportation projects, while 85 percent of funds support a list of regional projects created by local elected officials, known as Regional Roundtables.
Transit Projects Improve Regional Mobility
For regional transportation to work, riders must be able to get to their final destinations in the City. The City of Atlanta's transit lines are crucial to providing last-mile connectivity from the region to employment, education and entertainment centers in the City. The projects include:
- Direct connections for more than 100,000 jobs within a 1/4 mile of the routes
- Direct connections for tens of thousands of students at Georgia Tech and Georgia State
- Direct connections to the North Avenue and Peachtree Center MARTA Stations.
- New MARTA Station and connection at Joseph E Boone Blvd.
- Direct, last mile connections to key regional destinations, such as Piedmont Park, Centennial Olympic Park, Georgia Aquarium, Phillips Arena, Georgia World Congress Center, Carter Center, MLK Jr. National Historic Site, and Downtown/Midtown circulation from MARTA.
Making a Smart Investment
If the region is looking to fund projects that will be completed on time and on budget, the City of Atlanta transit projects are the safest bets.
- According to the Atlanta Regional Commission, the City of Atlanta's transit projects have the second highest ridership of all rail expansion projects on the list; according to the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority's analysis, these projects have the lowest cost per mile of all rail projects on the list, and they are among the most deliverable within the 10-year time frame of the Transportation Investment Act.
- Since 2005, every dollar spent on the Atlanta BeltLine has generated another three dollars in private investment, totaling more than $1 billion in new private investment.

I already see...nothing. The closest match I can possibly give you is Regice.
It fit all your criteria besides the last one:
Regice has base 80 HP, 100 Def, 200 SDef, and 100 SAtk. Good bulk to take hits, and workable Special Attack. It can hit Steel, Rock, and Dark Pokemon with Focus Blast. You have to resort to Hidden Power [Psychic] / Hidden Power [Flying] in order to hit Fighting Pokemon. I reccomend the latter.
Another option you have is Rotom-F. It has a lame base 50 HP stat, 107 Def / SDef, and 105 SAtk. Better offenses, but the drop of bulk compared to Regice is quite noticeable. Hail can be used for Blizzard accuracy increase, but HP Ice can be used. HP Fighting can be used with Blizzard to hit 3 of the types you wanted to hit.

SOURCE MassMutual
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., March 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual) today introduced a series of new options to its disability income insurance product portfolio to broaden the company's robust suite of financial protection offerings with more choices and flexibility.
The new additions are designed to help young professionals and their families set a strong foundation for financial security. They include a new rate structure for certain disability income insurance policies to help those with entry-level salaries add this key protection to their foundation, as well as an option to purchase permanent life insurance over time without medical tests. (See PDF for details.)
"MassMutual is committed to helping people financially prepare for life's possibilities and opportunities to be well-positioned for long-term success," said Mike Fanning, Executive Vice President, U.S. Insurance Group, MassMutual. "Providing the option to lock in insurability at a young age alongside disability income insurance protection is a natural pairing for a strong financial foundation."
Interestingly, the 2012 CDA Long Term Disability Claims Review, published by the Council for Disability Awareness, reveals that more than 1 in 4 new long term disability claims in the U.S. were from people under the age of 40 over the last 5 years (2007 to 2011).
Key new features1 of MassMutual's disability income insurance product suite include:
"Permanent life insurance options such as whole life insurance can help protect your ability to provide for your family, accumulate cash value and leave a financial legacy for those whom you care about," said Mr. Fanning. "The three year intervals also provide a timely opportunity for conversations with a financial professional to gradually strengthen a financial foundation as life events unfold."
MassMutual has also introduced an enhanced Extended Partial Disability Benefits Rider (EPR), potentially increasing disability income insurance payments to those unable to maintain full work schedules or occupational duties as a result of illness or injury, and an enhanced Future Insurability Option (FIO) rider, providing policyowners the option to increase their income protection in the future.

Haven see off battling Gateshead
Published at 11:54, Thursday, 05 April 2012
WHITEHAVEN will go in to the Good Friday derby against Workington Town in good spirits after enjoying a third successive win on Sunday.
Gateshead has traditionally been a happy hunting ground for Haven, though they have certainly enjoyed easier wins on Tyneside than this one.
Even coach Don Gailer thought it was an "ugly" win, though that's taking nothing away from his players, who were made to battle all the way by a determined Thunder, led up front by Brett Waller, Jason Payne and Stephen Welton.
Gateshead showed their attacking intent in only the second minute, Scott McAvoy using his strength to hold up centre Mike Mitchell over the Haven line.
Two minutes later, the hosts turned defence in to attack after Craig Calvert was unable to gather Carl Rudd's dab to the Thunder line.
Full-back Robin Peers gathered and went around 90 metres to score, shrugging off some weak attempted tackles along the way. Paul Stamp converted.
Haven finally started to find their feet after around 10 minutes, the lively Andreas Bauer making a half-break and Carl Sice kicking ahead for Max Wiper to chase, the ball bobbling over the sideline before the winger could take advantage.
Scrum-half Ben Karalius took matters in to his own hands on 16 minutes, breaking a couple of tackles on his way to the line.
Great work from Bauer set up Haven's next try five minutes later. When tagged he found Karalius who put Wiper over the line.
Haven's right-side attack was looking sharp, and Wiper almost added his second when collecting Karalius's cross-field kick. But the lob had been slightly too deep and his momentum carried him over the dead ball line before he could touch down.
Instead, it was Gateshead who crossed on the next set, courtesy of Mitchell who struck out wide.
Haven finally hit the front on 30 minutes after Tabua Cakacaka fumbled Sice's teasing kick 25 metres from his line.
Prop Richard Varkulis, who looks stronger with every game, pushed off a couple of defenders on the way to the line.
Peers had to be alert to a well-worked Haven set play early in the second-half, the full-back knocking the ball dead with Lee Doran bearing down on him.
Haven did not have long to wait before extending their lead. Luke Isakka picked up a loose Thunder pass 40 metres out and was dragged down 10 metres from the line.
Later in the set, the ball was moved quickly through hands for Calvert to profit out wide. An inability to stop Gateshead props Waller and Cacacaka off-loading led to Thunder's next score.
Stamp was on hand to take a pass and he put Ryan Clarke between the sticks. Stamp's conversion dragged his side back to only a four-point deficit.
On the next set, Haven were penalised and then marched back a further 10 metres for dissent. The set ended with stand-off Sam Walsh stepped inches from the Haven line.
Suddenly, it was all looking perilous for the Cumbrians. But Bauer, who has played as well as any for Haven over recent weeks, again stepped up. He crashed over in the corner amid heavy traffic on 63 minutes, Rudd's third conversion making it 26-16.
Bauer then had to leave the field in pain, but he had done his job, and after good work from Sice and Isakka, Haven killed the contest on 72 minutes.
Calvert, who has looked stronger in the collision this term, used his extra power to barge over out wide, to his obvious delight.
Now 14 points down, Gateshead dominated the last five minutes, securing a couple of goal-line drop-outs, as they hunted a bonus point.
With 16 seconds left on the clock, Howard Hill was penalised for an infringement in the tackle and Clarke held his nerve to convert a very missable goal.
It was just what the hosts deserved.
Whitehaven: Bauer, Calvert, Fox, McAvoy, Wiper, Rudd, Karalius, Houghton, Sice, Hill, Haggerty, Doran, Beattie. Subs: Smith, Isakka, Cullnean, Varkulis
Tries: Karalius, Wiper, Varkulis, Calvert 2, Bauer; Goals: Rudd 3

Tries: Peers, Mitchell, Clarke; Goals: Stamp 2, Clarke 1

Manti Te'o Deletes Twitter Account
By editor
Originally published on Wed February 6, 2013 8:51 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene.
Manti Te'o won't be tricked again - at least not on Twitter. Te'o's the Notre Dame football player who says he met his girlfriend online. The woman wasn't real, and Te'o says he was the victim of a hoax. He's now deleted his Twitter account. The page had included a quote from author Alexander Dumas: "Life is a storm. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes."
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Summer Reading Program is Underway
Parents and caregivers, why should kids and teens read during the summer? It is summer break, after all; kids deserve a break, right? Well, of course they do. Just be sure reading is part of fun time. After all, children who don't read over the summer lose 3 months of reading comprehension. That loss is accumulative – by the end of 6th grade these kids are 2 school years behind their peers. Don't let kids lose reading skills this summer. Reading as few as 4 books keeps kids at their current reading levels.
Kids, you can read ANYTHING to be eligible for prizes.
