analysisBy Eriasa Mukiibi Sserunjogi
As President Yoweri Museveni struggles to get a handle on affairs of state a year since the February 18, 2011 election, major donors say the political opposition doesn't seem to be capitalising on the key issues and could be approaching business the wrong way.
Leading donors criticised the election as riddled with avoidable mistakes, highly monetised and overwhelmed by the power of incumbency. They also said the opposition had "genuine concerns" about the election, but they still differed with the opposition on the way forward.
The donors argue that since the democratisation process has historically been progressively perfected, the Ugandan opposition should continue to aspire for reforms even in the face of false starts.
"Building democratic governance is a process, not an event, and we hoped the opposition would focus on the bigger picture (after the election) and ensure a better 2016 (the date for the next election)," a top European diplomat told The Independent.
The diplomat, who requested not to be named because his job doesn't allow him to publicly discuss local politics, said there should have been a "constructive engagement" after the election on issues like how the Electoral Commission is constituted and its effectiveness.
But the mainstream political opposition disagrees with this view and instead argues that Museveni must first be removed before any reorganisations are attempted. Having rejected the election results and vowed not to recognise Museveni as the validly elected president, the opposition set out to organise popular uprising against Museveni's government.
"This is the time for Ugandans to rise (in Egypt-style protests against Museveni)," declared FDC President Kizza Besigye shortly after the election results were declared on February 20, 2011. Besigye and Museveni lost and gained ten percentage points compared to the 2006 election respectively in a third consecutive two-horse race in a decade.
Museveni polled 68 percent against Besigye's 26 percent. Democratic Party President Norbert Mao garnered 1.8 percent, followed by UPC's Olara Otunnu with 1.6 percent. The rest of the candidates - Uganda Federal Alliance's Beti Kamya, Peoples Development Party's Abed Bwanika, Peoples Progressive Party's Bidandi, and independent Samuel Lubega -polled less than one percent each.
Besigye, who had stood on an Interparty Cooperation (IPC) ticket, said the election had been "massively stolen" through bribery, intimidation and outright vote rigging and manipulation of results. The IPC brought together FDC, Conservative Party, Social Democratic Party and the Mengo-leaning Ssuubi pressure group.
In dismissing the results, Otunnu pointed at a "strange twist of logic" in the report by the Commonwealth election observation team. The report showed an array of shortcomings in the preparation and conduct of the elections but concluded that the results by and large reflected the popular will.
The UPC National Council resolved in May 2011 that "UPC will not recognise any administration constituted on the basis of the purported outcome of the sham elections".
"It is now manifestly clear that it is not possible to achieve democratic change in Uganda working within the mould, framework, institutions, processes and arrangements which are organised and controlled by Yoweri Museveni and his regime," the UPC National Council continued, arguing that the way forward to build a "social movement" against Museveni.
Mao and Lubega also rejected the results, refused to recognise Museveni and joined in post election protests against him.
Only peripheral candidates - Kamya, Bwanika and Bidandi - took a conciliatory approach after the election, with only Bwanika attending Museveni's inauguration on May 12, 2011.
Reforms versus protests
In the opinion of the Commonwealth election observation team, "The main concerns regarding the campaign and the election was the "lack of a level playing field, the use of money and abuse of incumbency in the process".
The diplomat who talked to The Independent said the opposition would be well served to consider the findings and recommendations of election observation teams, "especially the Commonwealth team".
But many of the leading opposition politicians don't see much in these reports. "What new thing did that report (of the Commonwealth team) raise?" Leader of Opposition in Parliament Nandala Mafabi challenged on being asked what they are doing about the report's recommendations.
Mafabi said whatever was written in the report are the same things the opposition has been saying for a long time. "We know these issues and (we) have a plan (to handle them)," Mafabi added.
The Commonwealth team had called for an array of measures to be taken in the post election period to ensure better elections in the future. One such measure is putting in place "more stringent and explicit regulations limiting the use of state resources for campaign purposes".
Museveni's ruling NRM was accused of using big sums of public resources to finance the campaign, with an unprecedented supplementary budget of Shs 602b being passed to support mainly campaign related activities.
The team added that the entitlements of the president related to elections should be listed to allow transparency and that regulations should be instituted to compel candidates to provide detailed accounts of campaign funding and expenditure in future elections.
To create a level playing field in the future, the Commonwealth observers called for more thought to be given to election campaign financing and political party fundraising.
For most of these suggestions to be handled, there is need for legislative activity and observers say laws concerning elections can more easily and objectively be passed when there is no impending election. However, the opposition hasn't indicated that it will introduce such Bills or campaign for their introduction anytime soon.
Fix Electoral Commission
Perhaps the most controversial issue in the run-up to last year's election was the composition and competence of the Electoral Commission.
The Electoral Commissioners are appointed by the President and approved by Parliament, both of which would favour the ruling NRM as before. Arguments have been made of a reconstitution of the Commission so that different parties propose candidates or an independent appointing body is constituted to do the job.
Protesting IPC women in black T-shirts had almost become a permanent feature around the Electoral Commission offices. They demanded that the Badru Kiggundu-led commission, which they accused of being partial to the ruling party, be disbanded and replaced by a bi-partisan one to fit the multiparty dispensation.
The opposition had earlier protested the reappointment of Kiggundu. In August 2009, as Kiggundu and his fellow commissioners were being approved for a second seven-year term, opposition legislators stormed out of the Parliamentary Appointments Committee chaired by the then Speaker Edward Ssekandi in protest.
Kiggundu was however approved and President Museveni refused to drop him and his commissioners despite sustained pressure from the opposition and donors in the run-up to the election.
It should worry the opposition more that the fact that Kiggundu was reappointed on August 5, 2009, means that his term of office will not have expired by February or March 2016, when the next election is expected.
So why have Besigye's and the wider opposition's post-election protests been silent about Electoral Commission reform? Where did the Women for Peace in black T-shirts go?
The Commonwealth election observation team recommended Electoral Commission reform, focussing on "changing the appointment mechanism of commissioners to ensure a more inclusive process". They also called for instituting a mechanism of dismissal of commissioners that protects them from any vested interests.
Still, whereas this is an issue that will require the opposition to push hard and campaign for legal reform, it is a job that has not yet started.
Voter identification
The Commonwealth team further called for the cleaning up of the voter register, "through a reliable Id document for voting". Earlier elections were riddled with complaints about a bloated voter register and a final solution is expected to emanate from the issuance of national Ids. Responding to recent media reports that the firm that was contracted to make national Ids for Ugandans had produced only 400 pieces in years having used up billions, a State House statement said the project was suffering from lack of funding.Whereas the project needs Shs100 billion to be finished, the statement said, a mere Shs 600 million was availed in the 2010/2011 financial year.
The statement added that a number of "significant activities" in the project had been carried out. What are these activities? Procurement of 4,000 mobile data enrolment units, training of 8,000 data capture operators and the procurement of 1,000 generators (mobile power suppliers). The earliest date for finishing the project, according to the statement, is 2014.The government is currently experiencing a funding shortfall and since producing national IDs may not be a top priority of those in government, it is possible the 2014 date will be overshot and that the IDs may not be in place by the 2016 election. Why doesn't the opposition seem to be pushing enough for them?
Museveni must go first
Opposition leaders say they have a different agenda to pursue first."People keep talking about 2016 as if it were a normal date on Uganda's election calendar," said Otunnu.He argues that it would be foolhardy of the opposition to expect reforms under Museveni.Besigye agrees with Otunnu on this one. Addressing a rally at Kawempe on Jan. 26, Besigye told his supporters that they now understand Museveni's approach."
He (Museveni) rigs elections and pours a lot of money in the country in the last three months before the elections and afterwards he urges the country to wait for another election after five years."There will be no 2016 (elections)," Besigye said, "We are not talking about 2016; we are talking about 2012". Besigye added that Museveni printed two trillion shillings to buy the last election, leading to the current monetary squeeze aimed at mopping it up.
Besigye says Museveni must be removed immediately through demonstrations and he enjoys support from a wide section of the opposition. "Never change a winning strategy," says FDC Women's League chairperson Ingrid Turinawe of the use of protests to fight Museveni.
The opposition has resumed a round of protests under Walk to Work Reloaded, following in the tracks of successful protests that began in April 2011 that heavily shook Museveni's government. The government got bad press due to its handling of protesters, including Besigye who was brutalised during a violent arrest.
But should the protests fail to remove Museveni, does the opposition have a fallback strategy?
At the moment they don't seem to have one. They could once again be caught out late trying to push for electoral reforms and engage in grassroots mobilisation.

Jason Biggs
Played: Jim Levenstein
After a brief stint on "As the World Turns" in 1994 -- which shockingly landed him an Emmy nomination -- Jason became a household name thanks to his role as Jim Levenstein. His raunchy sexual exploits and his pact with friends to lose their virginity before college really changed the course of teen comedies forever.

The Phantom Carriage (Swedish: Körkarlen) is a 1921 Swedish film generally considered to be one of the central works in the history of Swedish cinema. Released on New Year's Day 1921, it was directed by and starred Victor Sjöström, alongside Hilda Borgström, Tore Svennberg and Astrid Holm.[1] It is based on the novel Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness! (Körkarlen; 1912), by Nobel prize-winning Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf.
The film is notable for its special effects, its advanced (for the time) narrative structure with flashbacks within flashbacks, and for having been a major influence on Ingmar Bergman.[2]
It is also known as The Phantom Chariot, Thy Soul Shall Bear Witness! and The Stroke of Midnight.[3]
In 2008, Tartan Films released a DVD version of the film, with a new and contemporary score from KTL.[4] In 2011, the Criterion Collection released a restored version of the film on Blu-ray and DVD.[5]
Plot summary[edit]
On New Year's Eve, the dying Salvation Army girl Edit has one last wish: to speak with David Holm. David, an alcoholic, is sitting in a graveyard with two drinking buddies, talking about his old friend Georges who told him about Death's carriage—the legend that the last person to die each year has to work under the "strict master" Death and collect the souls of everybody who dies the following year. Georges himself died on New Year's Eve last year.
Gustafsson, a friend of Edit who is looking for David, finds him and tries to convince him to go and see her, but David refuses. When his friends too try to convince him, a fight breaks out where David is accidentally killed just before the clock strikes twelve. The carriage appears, and the driver is revealed as Georges.
As David's soul steps out of his body, Georges reminds him of what he once had, how he once lived a happy family life with his wife Anna before ending up in bad company with Georges and the other drinkers. It is revealed how Anna left him after he was jailed for intoxication. He also reminds him how David exactly one year ago was taken care of by Edit, and while treating her badly, he gave her his promise to find her the following year so she would find out whether her prayers for him had worked or not.
Georges informs David that the promise has to be fulfilled and brings him in the carriage to Edit's house. In another flashback it is shown how Edit once found David in a bar with his friend Gustafsson. Edit persuaded them to go to a Salvation Army meeting. At the meeting, Gustafsson submitted himself to God, but David stayed cynical. Present at the meeting was also David's wife. Edit tried to bring the couple together again. At first they were optimistic, but soon David's drinking drove them into despair. One night David became aggressive when Anna tried to protect their children from being infected by David's tuberculosis. He was locked in the kitchen, but broke through the door with an axe.
When the driver arrives in Edit's room, she begs him to let her live until she sees David again. She thinks she is the one to blame for his guilt, as she brought the couple together again. When David hears this he is moved. He kisses her hands, and when Edit sees his regret she can die in peace. Georges then takes David to Anna, who is planning to kill herself and their children. David begs Georges and God to let him interfere. Georges allows him to return to life. David and Anna embrace each other and cry.

Since 1917 there was a deal between Selma Lagerlöf and A-B Svenska Biografteatern to adapt at least one Lagerlöf novel for film every year. Prior to The Phantom Carriage, Sjöström had made three of these adaptions which had all been well received by critics, the audience and Lagerlöf herself. Since all of them had taken place in a rural setting, Sjöström felt that he wanted a change for the fourth and suggested the urban, gritty Körkarlen. Lagerlöf was initially sceptical about the possibility to adapt the novel's elements of occultism and mysticism, and Sjöström was well aware of the difficulties. The script took eight days to finish and in April 1920 Sjöström travelled to Lagerlöf's mansion Mårbacka in Värmland to present it. After two hours of Sjöström reading loud and performing the whole script by himself, Lagerlöf responded by offering him dinner, which Sjöström took as an approval.[6]
Shooting took place from May to July 1920 in the newly started Filmstaden studios in Solna. The set design was inspired by the southern Swedish town Landskrona, which corresponded to what Lagerlöf had in mind when writing the novel. Lagerlöf's original wish was to film it on location in Landskrona, but Sjöström chose to do it in studio for the technical benefits.[7]
Post-production was famously long and intense due to the extensive use of special effects, developed by cinematographer Julius Jaenzon and lab executive Eugén Hellman. Double exposures made in the camera (optical printing wasn't available until the early 1930s), had been used before by Jaenzon, already in Sir Arne's Treasure from 1919, but were here developed to be far more advanced with several layers. This allowed the ghost characters to walk around in three dimensions, being able to first be covered by an object in the foreground, but when in the same take walking up in front of the object, it would be seen through the ghost's semi-transparent body.[7] One difficulty was that the cameras were hand-cranked, meaning that the camera had to be cranked at exactly the same speed in the different exposures for the end result to appear natural.[6]
The original screenings didn't have an original soundtrack, instead various pieces by Ture Rangström, Mendelsohn, Saint-Saëns and Max Reger were performed by the orchestras.[7] For a long time several different soundtracks, generally of low quality, were used for television screenings and video releases. However in 1998, on demand from the Swedish Film Institute, a new soundtrack was composed by renowned Swedish silent film composer and live pianist Matti Bye, which was highly praised and has been featured on all following VHS and DVD releases.[8]
At the 2007 San Francisco International Film Festival a new soundtrack was composed and performed live by pop icon Jonathan Richman.[9] No Region-1 DVD release with this version has been announced.
In 2008, the now defunct Tartan Films (now Palisades Tartan), under license from Swedish Film Institute, released a region 2 DVD version with a newly commissioned soundtrack by the electronic music group KTL.

The film was a powerful influence on the later Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman who also utilised the figure of Death in The Seventh Seal, where the referring to him as a "strict master" is a reference to The Phantom Carriage.[10] Bergman also cast Sjöström in the leading role for Wild Strawberries, which also features references to the film. Bergman has said that he first saw it at 15 and watched it at least once every year.[11] The television play The Image Makers (2000), directed by Bergman, is a historical drama depicting the making of The Phantom Carriage.
Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror film The Shining features several thematic similarities, as well as the famous sequence where Jack Nicholson uses an axe to break through a wooden door.[12] (There is also a similar scene in D. W. Griffith's 1919 film Broken Blossoms.)

Oh come on, we all know technology is gender neutral
Erika Smith, from APC's women's programme, blogged live from the Gender Evaluation Methodology (APC Annual Report 2006 ">GEM) global trainers exchange, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 23-27 July 2007.
We've heard it a gazillion times. And while there are many creative exercises to talk about gender roles and stereotypes, it's the intersection of GenderIT.org">gender and ICTs that can sometimes be hard for people to get. Maybe it is not a question of seeing it, though. Maybe folks can accept that technology is not gender neutral. What is harder to understand is what are the implications of that. How to get people to feel it, believe that this, too, matters, and matters quite a bit now and to our future. Toni says she starts with roads. Are roads gender-neutral? Joyce from Cameroun says she uses seat-belts and people get it very quickly, especially if they are women. Ouch!
A lot of the exercises that we use in Laneta in Mexico are with women directly, and have to do with their personal relationship with and reaction to technology. When you start to look at access, and see that the majority of the population have no access at all, the gender component gets further diluted.
But this is why we need GEM to be applied to a variety of ICT projects: to unearth the examples and illustrate the impact in a way that makes people move. The fact that there will be adaptations and a practitioners support network, as well as a facilitator's guide to accompany us along the way is reassuring... but gender and ict advocates are few and far between. So, my dear ICT trainers, GEM facilitators, policy advocates? What do you do to make folks really FEEL it?

The 2002 Dodge M80 is one of several concept versions of small pickups that Chrysler has considered in recent years.
Joe Veltri, Chrysler's vice president of product planning, is convinced there is still a market for small pickup trucks.
"Based on our data, young males still aspire to own a pickup," Veltri said. "Historically, if you go back to the '80s, the compact or midsize pickup segment was bigger than the full-size segment."
Now, many millennials -- or people born after 1980 -- have outdoor hobbies such as riding personal watercraft, mountain biking and fishing and are looking for a fuel-efficient pickup at an affordable price. ...

I read that Paris is also known as the City of Light because it was the first European city to illuminate their streets at night with gas lamps. However, I had a very different mindset when I first arrived to Paris and witnessed the beautiful sunlight while walking around Place de la Concorde on a breezy evening. It almost felt surreal to be in New York City one day and then standing on the Port Alexandre III bridge, admiring the Seine River the next day.
Starting Citizen Couture was indubitably the best thing that I could've done, being able to meet so many amazing people during my journey and always curious who I'd meet the next day. But while I love photographing fashion, one thing I've learn is the difficulty in making such a huge leap from accounting to fashion, especially having to sacrifice so much. I'm not referring to giving up luxury goods or earning six-figure salaries, but affording necessities such as health insurance, rent, and food. It's especially difficult for me because staying mentally strong for someone who underwent glaucoma surgery and living partially blind is important. I can still do everything normally, but I've missed so many important doctors' appointment that I'm starting to worry how susceptible I am if something does really happen.
It's certainly in my best interest to continue with Citizen Couture and I still plan to go forth with Fashion Week this September for New York, London, Milan, and Paris, among other events. But I currently need to reassess my situation and find something that meets these necessities before I can pursue my goal on a larger scale. I will definitely still update, but it may not be as often so I hope you understand my situation.

Maputo — Work on building a new reference hospital in the northern Mozambican province of Nampula is due to begin in November, under an agreement signed in the southern city of Matola on Thursday.
The hospital will belong to the Ministry of Health and the charitable institution "Our Children Our Future" (INCF). Funding for the new hospital, budgeted at 123 million euros (about 175 million US dollars) will be mobilised by the South African based group BluPearl investments.
These three bodies signed the Thursday agreement to build a modern hospital in Nampula that will benefit an estimated population of six million people, living in the provinces of Nampula, Zambezia, Niassa and Cabo Delgado. It will also operate as a "hospital-school" for students from the country's medical faculties.
Speaking at the ceremony, Health Minister Alexandre Manguele said this would be a hospital of "high quality and state of the art technology". It would reduce the need, still felt by many Mozambicans, to seek medical treatment outside the country.
A source in the office of the First Lady, Maria de Luz Guebuza, who is the patron of the INCF, said funding for the construction would not take the form of either a loan or a grant.
"Payment will be by means of joint management of the investors for 15 years, after which the hospital will pass into the ownership of the INCF and the Ministry", said the source.
The managing director of BluPearl, Jason Pedersen, told AIM that Mozambique is one of the key countries for the investment of this group, which has interests in agriculture and mining as well as in health care and other humanitarian areas.
Pedersen guaranteed that work on the hospital will begin in November and it will take two years to complete.

Modified Mustangs & FordsHow To Paint Body
25 Low-Buck High-Performance Restomod Tips
Get there faster and look better with these trick ideas
Dual Exhausts
When you buy a vintage Ford, chances are good it's probably equipped with the original factory single exhaust system. At best, you can hope for a lame dual exhaust system with an 13/4-inch pipe and generic replacement mufflers. To improve performance, you need to improve breathing and exhaust scavenging. Popular wisdom is to go with the largest pipes you can fit underneath your Ford. However, your goal needs to be achieving a nice balance between large and small diameter, depending on your engine and the kind of driving you intend to do. The best pipe diameter is 21/4 to 21/2 inches if you are running a mild street performance engine. This provides a good compromise between unlimited breathing and the kind of back pressure you need to have on the street to make low-end torque.
The aftermarket is rich with a variety of headers, mufflers, and exhaust systems. As a result, you have a lot to choose from--long- or short-tube headers, dozens of muffler types, and pipe sizes as large as 3 inches. When you go as large as a 3-inch pipe diameter, you're going to lose backpressure and make your Ford's undercarriage confining. stick to the common sense approach--21/4- to 21/2-inch diameter.
Always connect both sides of your exhaust system with a balance tube, which improves both sound and pressure between both sides of the system. You can even give it a different twist with an X-pipe that changes the way the exhaust pulses from each bank of cylinders. At high revs, the X-pipe sounds completely different, making our all American V-8 engines sound more European in tone.
Being Single
If you want to simplify your Ford's charging system and improve reliability, go with a single-wire alternator and throw away the voltage regulator. Converting your vintage Ford's regulator charging system may seem complex and hard to understand, but it is actually quite easy to do and can be done in about two hours. None of the factory wiring has to be eliminated. You can even leave the voltage regulator installed if you desire an original appearance.
When you install a single-wire alternator, you are going to an internally-regulated, high-amp alternator that will more than keep your Ford's battery charged, regardless of how much demand you put on the system. There are single-wire, high-amperage alternators available from Performance Distributors and Powermaster Motorsports. Each type comes with technical information and installation instructions.
Wheel Groovy
Nothing dresses up a ride quite like a nice set of wheels. Long ago, we were limited to a modest selection from Cragar, Keystone, American Racing, and Kelsey-Hayes. In the past 20 years, the wheel industry has grown phenomenally, with more styles, types, sizes, and manufacturers than ever before.
Likely the largest wheel you can get under a vintage Ford is 18 to 19 inches. But there's always someone hell-bent to shoehorn something larger into those wheelwells. When you are selecting a wheel and tire for your classic Ford, remember to temper your imagination with liberal doses of common sense. Make sure the wheel styling works with your Ford's body style. Check offset and backspacing availability. Another important issue is brake clearance. Make sure the wheel you want clears the caliper and control arms.
Also remember that large wheel size means less tire sidewall than we are used to with old Fords. Overall tire/wheel height doesn't change much based on what you can get into the wheelwell. This means going with a larger wheel means less sidewall, which means a rougher ride. The sidewall is there not only to look pretty, but to absorb road shock. When you hit irregularities in the road with 14- or 15-inch wheels and tires, there is a lot of sidewall to take up road shock. When you pump the wheel size up to 17 or 18 inches, you have less sidewall to take the bumps.
The cool thing about larger wheel size is what it does for the appearance of our period Fords. Huge 18- or 19-inch wheels on a '63 Galaxie fastback thrust these slippery beasts into the retro-crazed 2000s. And what about large wheels on a '69-'70 Mustang SportsRoof? This third generation Mustang body lends itself to big wheels and brute ideas.

Heart Scarab with Scene of the Goddess Ma`at and a Phoenix
Living persons wore only one or a few amulets at a time, but mummies usually bear many amulets. The Ma'at amulet (no. 2) and heart scarabs (nos. 1, 3, 11), which occurred in many forms, guaranteed a successful judgment of the dead. The amulets of a hand (no. 8), lungs and a windpipe (no. 12), and wadjet-eyes (i.e., "healthy" eyes; no. 4) protected those parts of the body and also had connotations of resurrection and the unity or integrity of the mummy. The enigmatic aper amulet (no. 13) takes the form of the hieroglyph meaning "to be equipped," perhaps in reference to the mummy's preparation. The two crowns (nos. 5, 6) were symbols of power. The Heh insignia (no. 7), like the popular ankh-sign, denoted eternal life. Among the living, the frog (no. 9) and possibly also the hare (no. 10) suggested fertility. The amulets of the Four Sons of Horus (no. 15) perhaps served, as they did with canopic jars, to protect various organs of the body.

How would you like to go down in history as the shortest basketball player ever in Harlem Globetrotters history?
At 5 feet, 2 inches, Jonte "Too Tall" Hall bears that distinction with pride. You'll be able to see him in action Thursday when the Globetrotters bring their 2012 World Tour to the Memorial Coliseum.
Hall is a rookie with the Globetrotters — he first stepped onto the court with them the day after Christmas. His path to becoming a player for the Globetrotters started when he was a teenager and shot high school hoops.
He played for Community College of Baltimore County in Catonsville, Md., graduating in 2003. He spent the past year and a half as a member of the Washington Generals, an exhibition basketball team that frequently plays against the Globetrotters, before signing on with the Globetrotters.
Becoming a basketball star didn't come easily for Hall.
"Being small kind of made me work extra hard," he said in a telephone interview from Nashville. "I always wanted to be taller. As I got in high school, I started accepting it."
He also started working on the tough shots, learning how to be effective at his size. He spent hours at the gym, devoting extra time to perfecting his shots.
"I bring a lot of shooting ability to the team," he said. His specialties are his dribble and 4-point shots, which are taken 35 feet away from the basket.
Growing up, he was inspired by 5-foot, 3-inch Muggsy Bogues, an NBA player from Baltimore. "He had me by an inch," Hall said.
And there were others, such as NBA player Earl Boykins, who is 5-5.
"Guys like that kind of paved the way for me," Hall said. "They pretty much gave me hope."
The fact Hall was able to overcome the odds and succeed at basketball despite his short stature gives him a unique perspective. And it puts him in a good position to offer advice to a kid who might want to do a sport or activity but thinks he's not good enough or big enough.
This is what Hall would say to that kid: "Look, you can be anything you put your mind to. Put God first. You've gotta keep praying. … Never give up. You've gotta be positive. Work hard. You will succeed."

Campus Development and Planning
The College's continual growth requires the development and enhancement of campus facilities and infrastructure. These initiatives, which include New Student Housing and a redesigned Central Campus Commons, help focus the sense of community within Prescott College while maintaining our mission of sustainability and environmental awareness.
Through a collaborative and participatory approach, the development of the projects has required cross-college design teams, focus committees, community meetings and surveys. The college uses both short-term and long-term plans to guide development efforts, including acquisition of property, renovated and new buildings, enhanced and expanded landscaping or grounds improvement, and other campus enhancements.
Campus improvements are well underway. Piles of dirt and gravel are surrounded by potted trees, ready to be planted. Several parking lots are closed and being resurfaced along with storm water bio-swales and retention basins being installed. What is happening on the grounds now is the result of planning that began in 2006, and will continue over the next several years with improved science and computer labs and new classrooms.

I read a lot of reviews for this movie before watching it myself. In the end, they all boiled down to a few basic criticisms, which I kept in mind as I made my own appraisal. Here are the major problems people seem to have had with Marc Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man", along with my responses.
1. The reboot was too soon.
This more or less depends on your point of view. True, the last Spidey movie was in 2007, a mere five years ago - more than long enough to warrant another Spider-Man film; not exactly long enough to call for a complete reboot. On the other hand, I think a lot of people would agree that it's been more like eight years since the last GOOD Spider-Man film. I loved Raimi's work with the character, though I do criticize him on some minor points. But in the end, he really dropped the ball with Spider-Man 3, running a lot of good characters into the ground and painting himself into a corner with two hours of very messy plotting. In the end, whether a reboot was necessary per se is a matter of personal preference. But even if you think it wasn't necessary, is it fair to write off the new movie completely as a result? I don't believe it is.
2. We've heard it all before.
Yes and no. This is another interpretation of Spider-Man's origin story. But it's very different from Raimi's first Spider-Man film. More importantly, it's a well-done interpretation. At the heart of this "origin story" is Peter Parker's development from a somewhat geeky, trouble-making teen into a true hero. This transition happened far more quickly in Raimi's first movie, mainly because Maguire's Peter had a more strongly-developed moral compass to begin with.Read more ›

After watching the first five minutes of The Amazing Spiderman, I knew I was gonna like it; after the first hour (which includes a lot of exposition without being tedious) I actually preferred this one to the Raimi versions mainly cuz I think it possesses an intensity and believability that the previous films lacked.
Marvel seems to be producing more mature, rebooted versions of all their super-hero series and I actually prefer this variation on the Spider Man story as well, especially the disappearance of the pointless Mary Jane obsession (which always made me respect Spidey a little less). I suspect that a more scientifically savvy audience appreciates an ever evolving origins story and I also enjoyed the initial dealing-with-new-superpowers interlude which was very amusing and again just seemed a much more realistic reaction from Peter Parker to his new abilities. Exceptional performances for Peter and Gwen are what truly make this production stand out from every other action-packed big-budget flick out there, not to mention a truly scary and menacing super-villain causing some sequences to play a little like a horror film. The tragic loss of his uncle is intensely emotional making the motivation for becoming a vigilante seem more credible, while the use of fantasy tech to supplement his powers added to this as well. love Martin Sheen as uncle Ben, never been much of a Sally Fields fan but apparently the producers were looking for star power to offset the use of mostly unknowns in the starring roles (which I think was a stroke of brilliance by the way).
The FX action sequences are seamless, gorgeous, captivating and again convincing (hitting on this alot I know but I think it's an essential factor).Read more ›

I'm a big fan of all three Raimi Spider Man films and when I heard they were doing a reboot I was skeptical, but being a fan of the character for over 40 years I decided to go see this film.
The Good: 1) We get the wisecracking Web Head from the comics, 2) The special effects are excellent, 3) A better Gwen Stacy. 4) Mechanical web shooters 5) The best Stan Lee Cameo ever!
The Bad: 1) This wisecracking Web Head is a little too mean spirited and Peter is way too cool to be the nerdy outcast from the comics. 2) The Lizard is poorly designed, he isn't sympathetic like in the comics and that takes a lot away from the character. He is much more interesting if he can't control his changing into The Lizard and having a family gives the character complexity. 3) They don't utilize the fact that his web shooters are mechanical and even though they weren't organic in the comic books, I prefer that route in the live action films. 6) When uncle Ben dies, it isn't heartfelt and Peter doesn't show enough emotion about it.
Toby McGuire may not have been the perfect wise cracker in the Raimi films, but he was engaging to watch when not in Spider Man mode. This was key to making a super hero film that was entertaining through out the entire film. (like Robert Downey as Iron Man).
I know a lot of people complained about Spider Man taking his mask off all the time, but if you think about it that mask would have to be extremely uncomfortable and hot, so I think that is just a realistic observation by the filmmakers, but some times emotions are needed to be seen and you can't see expressions through the mask.
The Amazing Spider Man is a very good film, but I won't watch it nearly as many times as the Raimi Spider Man films. It just isn't as much fun or as good.Read more ›

opinionBy Chibuzo Ukaibe
Perceived gaps in the 1999 Constitution has provoked significant dissonance in the polity and continuing debate. One of such issues is that of resource control. CHIBUZO UKAIBE looks at some grey areas relating to this critical component of true federalism as a major factor that could impact the Nigerian project.
The resource control debate in Nigeria has remained a passionate arena. Not without good reason. When some state governors in early 2000 considerably scaled up the campaign to constitutionalise the issue, it was seen as a rebellion against the federal government; the struggle was quashed by the powers that called the shots.
Many failed to throw their weight behind the struggle because it was perceived as a movement by a segment of the country from a particular geographical zone. The media and non-governmental organisations apparently did not give the struggle the desired attention, eventually it died like a premature baby.
The reality of resource control as an integral part of true federalism is now glaring as Nigerians are agitating for true federalism and want it to be included in the proposed constitution amendment process for equity, justice and fairness. It is against this background that the idea of empowering the states to explore, exploit and utilize their mineral and natural resources to address their development challenges, but to be accountable to the federal government.
Central to the struggle for resource control is the right of the states and communities most directly concerned (that is the producing states and communities) to have a direct and decisive role in the exploration for, the exploitation and disposal of, including sales of the 'harvested' resources.
Some emerging consensus hold that it is those who live with the devastating consequences of reckless and irresponsible exploitation practices and procedures, who must control the mode and management of commercial production in order to ensure an environmentally friendly production process, elimination of pollution, protection of the lands, forest, rivers and atmosphere. It is they who will insist on planned and controlled production to ensure the progressive replacement of the non-renewable resource, by a renewable product that is free of pollution and other environmental hazards.
Today, many Nigerians are suffering because there are insufficient resources at the state level to provide for their social and economic welfare. Therefore, it has led to massive migration of people from the states to Abuja and other economic viable cities, whereby stretching the available infrastructures in these places.
The inadequate resources from the federal government to the state governments to tackle developmental challenges, the issue of unemployment is now at a precipitous height, poverty is cruelly ruling over most homes, unprecedented increase in infant and maternal mortality rates, terrifying terrorism, kidnapping, economic sabotage and soaring height for unbridled corruption.
Nigeria's flawed federalism has worsened its affliction with the "Dutch disease" - a condition in which a country that is rich resource-wise has continued to be lazy and imprudent. Many see the granting of right to control resources to the constituent units as a move towards ensuring economic viability of most of the units under the two lower tiers.
In the nation's history when it was Tin, Cotton, Cocoa, Groundnut, Oil palm and Rubber, today it is crude oil. Granting control of resources to the constituent units will mean encouraging each unit to exploit and develop the resources in each area. The emerging consensus is that if this is granted it will drastically tackle the sad straits the country has found itself over four decades.
According to Mr. Ashwe Chiichii, in one of his papers on resource control, "The present intergovernmental fiscal relations, otherwise known as fiscal federalism, have always been in favour of the federal government, especially since 1970 when Decree Number 13 was promulgated."
In other words, the lower tiers of government have been experiencing both vertical and horizontal fiscal imbalances as well as fiscal mismatch between their expenditure responsibilities and their revenue raising capabilities.
These combined together, have been threatening the economic viability of the state and local governments which only decentralised right to control resources can solve; whereby the present arrangement makes the two lower account unhealthy.
This is apart from the fact that what they even received from the said federation levels of government are almost depending only on the revenue allocated to them from the Federation Account is grossly inadequate to match their constitutionally assigned responsibilities.
This is the reason why it has been difficult to arrive at an acceptable revenue sharing formula. To date, nineteen attempts have been made in the history of Nigeria to evolve a formula acceptable to all but to no avail more so that the Federal Government has, especially from 1970, always been placing enormous resources at its disposal under the guise of national unity.
As Dunmoye Ayo noted, there is no gainsaying the fact that the oil producing states have the constitutional right to demand for resource control. It is a political as well as a constitutional issue, he added. It is also a kind of situation whereby the Nigerian fragile federation is finding itself in a level field for re-examination. Since that 1966, the kind of federalism we have been practising in Nigeria has been unitary in nature; with the federal government holding other units as mere vassals with virtually no power for self-determination.
The growth of the activities of ethnic militants and ethnic conflicts is no news in the history of Nigeria today. The growth is traceable to their disaffection with the practice of federalism and its corollary fiscal federalism in Nigeria. Now, terrorism is growing tremendously, and more people are indulging in frightening criminal activities.
This is more so that the federal government is increasingly sees as having failed as a state in addressing infrastructural development in Nigeria. In the political sphere, the stability of our political entity called Nigeria is being threatened because of the centre that is too powerful politically and economically.
The agitation for resource control is a response to the failure of the state or federal government in providing and developing social infrastructures. The state should wake up to its legitimate social roles by embarking on infrastructural development (fairly distributed) and people-oriented policies and programmes.
Over 13 years, Abuja has become a major attraction of Nigerians as they flock to the territory in large numbers from the states and local government areas for survival. This has therefore over stretched the available facilities provided. Unfortunately, there is not enough provision made by the government to accommodate every Nigerian in Abuja, whereby they have made personal effort to build their houses and establish businesses in places designated for other purposes.
As a result, they have become vulnerable and victims of demolition exercises by successive administrations in the FCT. Recently, 19 towns the FCT were listed for another devastating round of demolition exercise by the FCTA without any alternative for those to be displaced.
According to Dr. Otive Igbuzor, activist and public affairs analyst, "There is no doubt that majority of Nigerians agree that federalism is the most suited system for governance in Nigeria. However, the history and operation of constitution in Nigeria shows that it negates all federalist principles and practice. In any case, it is clear that control/allocation of resources is a constitutional issue.
Meanwhile, the struggle for resource control in Nigeria has not given sufficient attention to constitutional reform. There is therefore the need to place emphasis on constitutional reform in the on-going struggle for resource control in Nigeria. It is clear that there are progressive elements from all parts of the country that support the struggle for resource control."
He recommended that the states should be made to pay taxes to the federal government but with the consent of the states. "The federating units should have control and ownership of the resources in their area. They should however pay taxes to the Federal government. The rate of such taxes would need to be determined in consultation with the states.
The rate may, however, not be more than 50%, considering that states would take on more spending responsibilities under true federalism. The taxes so collected should go into the federation Account. Allocation from the federation Account shall be to the federal Government, Equalisation Fund, and the Local governments.
Allocation from the Equalisation Fund to states shall be based on agreed criteria. These would, however, include state income shortfall from the national average income, population, and land mass and terrain. Section 44, (1) (3) should be amended to vest ownership of resources in states."
Igbuzor concluded by calling on well-meaning Nigerians to throw their weight behind the struggle for resource control, "We must therefore network and build alliances across every geopolitical zone in the country to ensure the success of the struggle. The struggle for resource control in Nigeria is a just struggle. The ruling class may postpone its realization. They may put obstacles to its realization but they are destined to fail. The struggle for resource control must be won for Nigeria to remain as one nation."
The emerging consensus now is that the issue of resources control is an agitation by a segment of the country, rather it is a national issue that cuts across the entire states of the federation because it affects the entire system. It can be recalled that most Nigerians aggressively protested against the New Year pronouncement of fuel subsidy removal by the federal government, and their agitation paid-off as the pump-price of petrol was reversed from N141 to N97 per litre.
But they are yet to realise that the current predicament of strangulating poverty and violence across the land could be solved when resource control is entrenched in the constitution, whose benefits are enormous to all Nigerians born and unborn.
Resource control will provide sufficient resources at the State and local government levels which will metamorphose into unprecedented job creation for the teeming population; this current glut in the labour market and unnecessary brain drain will be curtailed to the barest minimum.
When the constitution accommodates resource control every state of the federation will experience huge attraction of foreign direct investment, because the various states and local government areas are heavily endowed with mineral and natural resources that can transform the lives of its citizens, and it will fast-track the development process, and then poverty will be a thing of the past.
Some public issue analysts hold that empowering the states through resource control will drastically reduce the 'mad rush' to the cities, especially Abuja. This group further hold that it will make people from the different states to stay home to contribute to the development of their states. Perhaps, most importantly, it will shrink the issue of settlers-indigenes debacle as currently being experienced in some states.

Info Tech Students work with Instructor to create a collaborative book
Jonan Donaldson and his class of seven graduate students: Eliane Agra, Mohammed Alshammari, Andrew Bailiey, Daniel Bowdoin, Meghan Kendle, Lauren Nixon, and Lisa Wressell, collaboratively wrote Massively Open as a project in a Big Thinkers class, a required course in the Master of Science in Education: Information Technology program. As explained in the foreword of the book by Dr. Mary Bucy, program coordinator, Web 2.0 has helped us transition from knowledge consumers to active contributors, and as part of that shift, the Big Thinkers class was flipped to allow our students to be knowledge producers by publishing their work.
In one of the most rapid adoptions of an educational innovation in history, the rise of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) has become a significant opportunity for millions of students from all over the world to receive quality education over the internet at no cost. At the same time it has become a source of great optimism as well as foreboding for educational professionals. The game changing potential of this innovation could change the form and system of higher education. The frustration of students who are racking up unprecedented amounts of debt for their educations is nearing a tipping point. If students can earn college credits and even degrees at no cost, the number of tuition paying students at traditional educational institutions could fall dramatically. With ever increasing levels of quality and access, MOOCs are causing us to rethink the educational system, the role of the educator and student, and the role of education in society. What the post-MOOC educational landscape will look like depends upon the choices we make today, choices which must be made through careful consideration. Massively Open is an overview of the implications of this potentially disruptive innovation.

The Maryland Higher Education Commission has designed certain instructional programs at Maryland community colleges as statewide programs. In addition to providing greater opportunity to additional Maryland citizens, the implementation of statewide programs allows for more effective planning for the placement of new instructional programs, particularly in high-cost specialties. Since residents of one county can enroll in designated programs in adjoining areas with little or no additional cost, there is less need to have all programs available locally. The procedure tends to reduce unnecessary duplication of effort. Programs designated as statewide are: Allegany Community College Automotive Technology Culinary Arts Forest Technology Hospitality Management Professional Golf Management Tree Care Technology Anne Arundel Community College Alternative & Sustainable Energy Systems Homeland Security Management Hotel/Restaurant Management Paralegal Studies Special Education Support Transportation, Logistics & Cargo Security Cecil Community College Government Contracting Supply Chain Management Transport & Logistics (multiple specializations) Visual Communications College of Southern Maryland Commercial Vehicle Operator Nuclear Engineering Technology Security Management Community Colleges of Baltimore County Advanced Geospatial Applications Air Traffic Control Automotive Technology (multiple specializations) Aviation Management Child and Youth Care Practitioner Construction Craft Professional Construction Management Flight Attendant Flight Training Geospatial Applications Greenhouse Production International Tourism Interpreter Preparation Landscape Design and Installation Mortuary Science Printing Management Technology Recreation, Parks and Tourism Survey Technology Sustainable Horticulture Tourism Diversity Tourism Sales and Marketing Travel Management Turf and Landscape Maintenance Frederick Community College Emergency Management Garrett Community College Adventure Sports Management Juvenile Justice Natural Resources and Wildlife Technology Hagerstown Community College Alternative Energy Technology Digital Instrumentation & Process Control Facilities Maintenance Technology Industrial Technology Harford Community College High Performance Manufacturing Technical/Professional Studies Montgomery College Fire & Arson Investigation Fire & Emergency Services Management Fire Prevention Technology Fire Protection Technology Graphic Design Studio Art Technical Writing Prince George's Community College Theatre & Entertainment Wor-Wic Community College Criminal Justice Hotel-Motel-Restaurant Management

EL PASO, Texas --- Chattanooga Mocs senior Steven Fox
(Hendersonville, Tenn.) ended up tied for 16th at the Western Refining College
All-American Classic at El Paso Country Club. Fox tied Oklahoma's Will Kropp at
five-under par 208.
The duo ended up nine strokes behind this year's
champion, Kevin Penner of UNLV. Penner shot rounds of 65, 66 and 68 for his
14-under 199. That provided him with a one-shot win over Sebastian Cappelen
(Arkansas) and two strokes clear of defending champion Corey Whitsett
Fox opened the event shooting 70 and 67 over the opening
36 holes Monday. That placed him tied for seventh. A level par 71 dropped him
into his tie for 16th.
He posted 13 birdies over his 54 holes with five in the
final round. Fox added 34 pars to counteract six bogeys and one double. He had
a perfect second round with four birdies and 14 pars.
Fox gained entry in the 23-man field by virtue of his
United States Amateur win in August. The field is comprised almost entirely of
2012 All-Americans who are still playing collegiately.
The Mocs return to the course in February 22-24 for the Redstone
Collegiate Championship in Humble, Texas. The 54-hole event is played on the
Redstone Golf Club Tournament Course which is the site of the PGA Tour's Shell
Houston Open.
