African Military History and Historiography
Timothy Parsons
African military history is more than just the study of "tribal warfare," imperial conquest, military coups, and child soldiers. Moving beyond conventional questions of strategy, tactics, battles, and technology, historians of precolonial Africa are interested in the role of armies in state formation, the military activities of stateless societies, and armed encounters between Africans and foreign visitors and invaders. Scholars working in the 19th and 20th centuries are similarly focused on the role and influence of African soldiers, military women, and veterans in society. In this sense, African military history is part of a larger effort to recover the lived experiences of ordinary people who were largely missing from colonial archives and documentary records. Similarly, Africanist historians focusing on the national era are engaging older journalistic and social science explanations for military coups, failed states, and wardlordism. The resulting body of literature productively offers new ways to study military institutions and collective violence in Africa.
Ancient Developments in the Middle Senegal Valley and the Inland Niger Delta
Alioune Dème
The study of West Africa has contributed to the expansion of comparative arid-lands floodplain prehistory, from both the data collection (cultural and historical) and the theoretical aspects. The neoevolutionary approach that often pictures Africa as a backward continent has been successfully challenged. In the Middle Senegal Valley and in the Inland Niger Delta, research on their societies' complexity done along these two subcontinent's floodplains has described new processes (including urbanization) that were not previously featured in the archaeological literature. The two floodplains, because of their ecological diversity, with the richness of their ecological diversity, attracted Saharan populations affected by drought at the end of the second millennium and the first millennium BC. However, after their initiation occupation the two areas took different trajectories in complexity and settlement organization. Large complex settlements have been found at Jenne-jeno and in the Ile a Morphil that illustrate whole new trajectories of civilization. These forms of complexity, found in areas with historically known polities, were not included in the range of possibilities predicted by standard complexity theories regarding civilizational development. Ethnographic and historical data, reveal the existence of societies with a central authority embedded within and balanced by a diffuse, segmented and heterarchical power structure; often as a strategy to resist the individual consolidation of power. These societies exhibit evidence of horizontal differentiation and consensus-based decision making. All these types of organization are characterized by the presence of several sources of power vested in corporate entities, such as lineages, age groups, cults and secret societies.
The Anlu Rebellion
Jacqueline-Bethel Tchouta Mougoué
From 1958 to 1961, Kom women in western Cameroon cast aside their regular domestic and agricultural duties to engage in a revolt against British administrative interference in agriculture—normally their domain—and the alleged plan by the ruling political party, the Kamerun National Congress (KNC), to sell Kom land to Nigerian Igbos. In keeping with the practices of anlu, a centuries-old women's organization generally deployed against people who violated the Kom moral code, women interfered with burial rituals; hurled insults at men in public; demanded the closing of schools, courts, and markets; set up roadblocks; destroyed and burned property; and defied both traditional and British authorities in the Bamenda Grassfields of western Cameroon. Their tactics included stripping naked in front of men. While local men considered the sight of the vagina in public to be a bad portent and thus understood the seriousness of the revolt, flabbergasted British officials had no idea what was to come. By seizing control of resources and demonstrating in public, Kom women disturbed local political power, and protested against British rule in the Southern Cameroons. They were a crucial force in the victory of the Kamerun National Democratic Party (KNDP) in 1961, which brought a restoration of political order at the time of independence.
Berbers and the Nation-State in North Africa
Bruce Maddy-Weitzman
Throughout history, North Africa's native Berber-speaking populations have been central to the mix of political, social, cultural, and linguistic attributes that rendered the region distinct. At the dawn of the 20th century, Berbers still constituted a substantial majority of sharifian Morocco's population, and a significant minority of French Algeria's Muslim populace; their numbers were smaller in Ottoman Libya and smaller still in France's Tunisian protectorate.
Nationalism began to spread in North Africa during the first decades of the 20th century. Each nationalist movement was shaped by a particular combination of factors; all of them, however, foregrounded the Arab and Islamic components of their collective identities, downplaying or ignoring the Berber ones.
Berbers actively participated in the struggles for independence in both Algeria and Morocco, often in leadership roles. This pattern would continue during the decades after independence, even as both the Algerian and Moroccan states placed supreme value on the Arabization of the educational system, and of public life in general. The state's overall view of Berber identity was that it should be consigned to the realm of folklore.
However, even as the number of Berber speakers continued to decline, there arose a modern Berber (Amazigh) identity movement that demanded a reexamination of the underlying premises of their countries' collective identities, one that would bring the Berber language and culture to center stage. It also demanded genuine amelioration of the dire conditions of poverty that characterized much of the rural Berber world. As ruling regimes struggled to maintain their legitimacy after a half century of independence, the Berber "question" now took on a new salience in North Africa's increasingly contested political space.
Boko Haram: History and Context
Hilary Matfess
Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati wal-Jihad, better known as "Boko Haram," is the most violent phenomenon of the Nigerian Fourth Republic. It is responsible not only for a regional food crisis that has devolved into famine in some areas, but also the displacement of millions and the deaths of tens of thousands of people. The insurgency in Nigeria began as a dissident religious sect's venting of local grievances in Maiduguri, the capital of the northeastern Borno State. The movement was founded at the turn of the century by Mohammed Yusuf, a Salafist preacher notorious for his rejection of Western education and government employment.
Boko Haram only gained significant international attention in the aftermath of the 2014 abduction of more than 270 schoolgirls from their dormitory in the remote town of Chibok, but the group did not always employ such deplorable tactics. Although policymakers in capitals the world over have been eager to emphasize the group's connections to international terrorist groups, the movement is localized and often more akin to an African insurgency than to a prototypical terrorist organization. The group's initial years were characterized by relatively benign activities like the provision of social services, punctuated by occasional bouts of criminality that, over time, escalated into a series of targeted assassinations that provoked federal government response. A series of violent actions ultimately transformed Boko Haram from a largely nonviolent fundamentalist religious movement into the lethal and resilient force it is today, known internationally for its brutality: notably, the group's interactions with the Nigerian security sector, categorized by indiscriminate state violence; leadership changes within the insurgency's ranks that elevated Abubakar Shekau following Mohammed Yusuf's execution; and regional trends in weapons flows and ideological currents.
Christian Missions and the State in 19th and 20th Century Angola and Mozambique
Teresa Cruz e Silva
Christian missionary work in Angola and Mozambique during the colonial and postcolonial eras was shaped by a complex of factors related to religion, education, and politics. Missionaries' networks of local support played an outstanding role in their humanitarian work, particularly in the 20th and 21st centuries.
By the end of the 19th century, Catholic and Protestant missions had established themselves in Angola and Mozambique. Until 1974, Protestants had a tense relationship with the Portuguese authorities, as they were suspected of serving the political interests of some European countries against Portugal, and later of supporting African opposition to colonial domination. Unlike the Protestants, the Catholic Church enjoyed a close collaboration with the ruling regime. Under the Concordat and the Missionary Accord of 1940 and the Missionary Statute of 1941, which were agreed between the Vatican and Portugal, Catholic missions enjoyed a privileged position to the detriment of Protestants, whose activities were severely restricted.
The years that followed the independences of Angola and Mozambique in 1975 were characterized by open hostility to religion, aggravated by the nationalization of missions' assets and properties in both countries. Mission activities related to education and health became hard to carry out. With the civil wars in Angola and Mozambique, warfare and dislocation gave a new social role to the churches. Between the mid-1980s and 1990 the first signs of new policies emerged. While in Angola the relationship between church and state was marked by ambiguity and mistrust, cooperation and collaboration prevailed in Mozambique, where the 1980s saw a rapprochement and constructive dialogue between the two institutions. This was sealed by the roles both Protestants and Catholics played in the peace and democratization processes.
The political opening that characterized the 1990s and 2000s brought significant changes for both countries including the presence in the public space of new churches, especially those of Pentecostal denominations. The new sociopolitical contexts in Angola and Mozambique between the late 20th and early 21st centuries shaped the new roles of the missions, which remain more focused on social, rather than political, activities.
Communism in South Africa
Irina Filatova
The history of communism in South Africa began with the formation in 1921 of the Communist Party of South Africa (CPSA). The party was entirely white, as was the majority of organized labor—its main constituency. The CPSA attempted to fight for equality of black and white workers, but white labor refused to desegregate, and the party's support among Africans was practically nonexistent. In 1928, the Communist International (Comintern), of which the CPSA was a member, sent it an instruction to work for an "independent native republic." This slogan helped the party to attract a black membership, but resulted in much infighting.
The CPSA's position strengthened during World War II, but in 1950, after Afrikaner nationalists came to power, the party was banned. It re-emerged in 1953 as the underground South African Communist Party (SACP). Since then, the party has worked closely with the African National Congress (ANC). Many of its cadres were simultaneously ANC members. In 1955, communists helped to formulate the Freedom Charter, the ANC's overarching program. In 1960, the SACP launched the armed struggle against apartheid. The ANC took the nascent liberation army under its wing in 1963. In the early 1960s, many party members, including Nelson Mandela, were arrested or forced into exile.
The party had a deep ideological influence on the ANC: from 1969, its ideas on South Africa as a colony of a special type and on the National Democratic Revolution (NDR) have become part of all ANC programs.
After the end of apartheid, communists occupied important positions in all ANC governments. Despite this, many in the SACP have been unhappy with the direction the ANC has taken. However, the party has not contested elections on its own, trying instead to influence ANC policies from inside. This has cost it its reputation as a militant revolutionary party.
Ethiopia in the Nineteenth Century
Teshale Tibebu
The history of Ethiopia during the 19th century involved three fundamental processes: (1) the Zämänä Mäsafənt (Era of Princes) and its coming to an end under Kassa Häylu, later Emperor Tewodros II; (2) the repeated attempts by Egypt and Italy to colonize Ethiopia, culminating in the Battle of Adwa on March 1, 1896; and (3) Mənilək's territorial expansion and conquest of what is now southern Ethiopia during the last quarter of the 19th century in campaigns known as agär maqnat. These three distinct, yet related, processes laid the foundations for the making of modern Ethiopia.
The end of the Zämänä Mäsafənt was a key factor in centralizing state power in the hands of the emperors of Ethiopia. It enabled consolidating the power of the regional lords under the emperor, which in turn played a critical role in confronting Egypt and Italy's colonial intrusions in the late 19th century. Mənilək's territorial conquests in the south further strengthened the state, garnering vast human and material resources that played a critical role in the Ethiopian victory at the Battle of Adwa. All three processes worked in tandem: the end of the Zämänä Mäsafənt created a strong centralized state; such a state succeeded in nipping in the bud the colonial invasions of Egypt and Italy; and the successes of the agär maqnat campaigns added to the overall strength of the country. It also laid the ground for the problems of the 20th century, chief among them being the "national question."
The Ethiopian Red Terror
Jacob Wiebel
The Red Terror was a period of intense political and inter-communal violence in revolutionary Ethiopia during the late 1970s. This violence erupted two years after the revolution of 1974 and was concentrated in the cities and towns of Ethiopia, particularly in Addis Ababa, Gondar, Asmara, and Dessie. In the struggle over the direction and ownership of the revolution, opposition groups of the radical left violently opposed a military regime that itself came to embrace and promulgate Marxist-Leninist language and policies, and that relied heavily on the use of armed force to stifle dissent. While much of the violence was carried out by security personnel, the delegation of the state's means and instruments of violence to newly formed militias and to armed citizens was a defining feature of the Red Terror. The number of casualties and victims of the Red Terror remains heavily contested and is subject to divergent counting criteria and to definitions of the Terror's scope in relation to other concurrent conflicts in the region, such as the Eritrean and Tigrayan civil wars; plausible figures suggest more than 50,000 deaths, in addition to many more who were subjected to torture, exile, personal losses, and other forms of violence. To this day, the Red Terror constitutes a period that is remembered in Ethiopia as much for the forms of its violence as for the extent of its harm. Its ramifications, from the support it triggered for the ethno-nationalist insurgencies that overthrew the military regime in 1991, to its role in the emergence of a sizeable Ethiopian diaspora, make the Red Terror an episode of defining and lasting significance in the modern history of Ethiopia.
Funmilayo (Anikulapo) Ransome-Kuti: Nigerian Anti-Imperialist, Humanist, and Feminist Activist
Cheryl Johnson-Odim
In the late 19th and 20th centuries, massive numbers of African women, poor and rich, educated and uneducated, were deeply involved in resistance to European colonialism/imperialism and male domination at both the national and local levels of their nations. The 1890 rebellion led by Charwe in present-day Zimbabwe, the 1929 women's rebellion in eastern Nigeria, the 1940s women's marches in Senegal as part of the strike of African male railway workers so beautifully chronicled in Ousmane Sembene's God's Bits of Wood (1960), the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya, the revolution against the French in Algeria, and women's roles as troop support and combatants against the Portuguese in Angola and Mozambique and against apartheid in South Africa are among the many examples of women centered in African resistance to colonialism and African nation-building. In all of these struggles women did not isolate their struggles as women from their struggles as oppressed people.
Born Frances Olufunmilayo Olufela Abigail Folorunsho Thomas, but best known as Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti (and later Funmilayo Anikulapo -Kuti), is the best-known Nigerian woman anti-imperialist, pan-Africanist, and feminist. She struggled for the independence of Nigeria and the empowerment of Nigerian women to vote, be educated, and be included in the governance structures of their nation. She also identified herself as a human-rights activist who struggled on behalf of the poor and disenfranchised of all nations. She was among a small number of West African women (such as Adelaide Casely-Hayford, Constance Cummings-John, and Mabel Dove Danquah) who traveled widely internationally and who were active in international women's organizations such as the Women's International Democratic Federation (WIDF) and the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF). At one point, when Amy Ashwood Garvey visited Nigeria, FRK wrote to ask about affiliating with Garvey's United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) Women's Corps.
In addition to her travel to many countries on the African continent, FRK traveled to Eastern and Western Europe, the Soviet Union, and China. Though invited to participate in a conference in San Francisco in the 1950s, she never visited the United States because she was unable to secure a visa due to her travel during the Cold War to eastern bloc nations and China, for which she was accused of being a communist. She was never a member of the communist party, but she did embrace the socialist ideal that all people were entitled to their freedom, education, medical care, and housing, and her activism was firmly rooted in grassroots organizing.
She is best known for having led the struggle that deposed the Alake (king) of Abeokuta, for leading women in their struggles against taxation by the British colonial government without the vote or representation in government, and for her work with the nationalist party the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) and with the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT). She founded two women's organizations within Nigeria, the Abeokuta Women's Union (AWU) and the Nigerian Women's Union (NWU-which was the basis for the formation of the Federation of Nigerian Women's Societies), and a short-lived political party, the Commoners' People's Party (CPP). Internationally she worked with the WIDF (of which she was elected a vice president), the WILPF (that listed FRK as president of its Nigeria section), and the West African Students' Union (WASU) of London. She authored articles on women in Nigeria in the WIDF journal, and one ("We Had Equality 'til Britain Came") in the Daily Worker published in London.
During her lifetime as an activist, she received many honors: the Order of the Niger (1965—from the Nigerian government for her work on behalf of the nation); honorary doctorate from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria (1968); an appearance in the International Women's Who's Who (1969); and Lenin Peace Prize (1970).
On her death in 1978, FRK was hailed in headlines in major Nigerian newspapers as the "Voice of Women" and "The Defender of Women's Rights." She is also considered a pioneer in the articulation and practice of African feminism and an important figure in the rise of Nigerian radical political philosophy. Analyses of 20th-century African and transnational feminism will continue to be informed and complicated by her story.

Sarah Palin Denies Divorce Rumors
Sarah Palin is debunking rumors that she and her husband Todd are divorcing.
Her spokeswoman Meg Stapleton has slammed two Alaskan bloggers' reports about infidelities on both sides, saying, "Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. There is no truth to the recent 'story' (and story is the correct term for this type of fiction) that the Palins are divorcing. The Palins remain married, committed to each other and their family, and have not purchased land in Montana (last week it was reported to be Long Island)."
Meg continued, "Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to 'quit making things up.' We appreciate that the more professional journalists decided to question this story before repeating it."

As the president of the Board of Directors of Lindsay Park Housing Corp., I read your article captioned "Hall of a Mess" (September 11, 2008) with great dismay. It is most unfortunate that no one from your publication took the time to contact me, as board president, for the facts:
• 54 Boerum Street is one of seven buildings comprising the Lindsay Park Housing Corp. cooperative, part of the New York City Mitchell-Lama program. There are a total of 2,702 units in the cooperative.
• The Lindsay Park Board of Directors has been actively seeking methods of funding to implement capital improvement projects throughout the development, while trying to maintain affordability during times of skyrocketing energy and operating costs.
• One of the programs implemented was the installation of electrical sub-meters in all apartments, with the goal of billing each shareholder in the cooperative for the actual metered electrical consumption. This is a proven method of reducing energy consumption, and hence energy costs, by approximately one-third.
• The procurement and installation of electrical sub-meters was done under a NYSERDA rebate program whereby the housing company was fortunate enough to receive most of its cost associated with this project back from the state in the form of a rebate.
• Naomi Chappelle has been a very vocal opponent of this program and, in spite of its merits, has discouraged many of her neighbors in her building, particularly the elderly, from cooperating with the installation efforts.
• Since the rebate money received from NYSERDA was designated by the Lindsay Park Board of Directors to be used for repainting of all hallways and stairwells, Ms. Chappelle's disruptive efforts have resulted in her building not receiving this benefit in its entirety. To date, five of the other Lindsay Park buildings have been beautifully re-painted, and the other that has not will be as soon as a major repair to the chimney is completed in the spring of 2009.
Additionally, the graffiti problem extends beyond the board and management, as noted by HPD in your article. Perhaps if Ms. Chappelle can use some of her apartment energy and influence over her neighbors to encourage them to get involved in educating all about the negative aesthetic and financial impact of defacing property where they live and own, and being more vigilant regarding the culprits who repeatedly vandalize, then the graffiti problem can be contained. In spite of many efforts made by the board to cover the graffiti, it re-appears almost immediately.
In summary, I wish to point out again that neither the Lindsay Park of Directors, nor the development management, was contacted for input prior to the publication of this article; hence, a very myopic view of the root of this problem.

All News Releases By Date
Newport, N.H. Treatment Plant Operator Recognized for Outstanding Service
Release Date: 07/14/2010
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – July 14, 2010) – Arnold Greenleaf of the Newport, N.H. Wastewater Treatment Facility was honored by EPA with the "2009 Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator Award."
The EPA Regional award program recognizes municipal personnel in the wastewater field who have provided invaluable public service operating wastewater treatment facilities throughout New England. Mr. Greenleaf is the Superintendent of the Newport Wastewater Treatment Plant and has been associated with the treatment plant for nearly 25 years. Mr. Greenleaf's nomination was highly recommended by the NHDES, as well as other highly regarded individuals in the profession.
EPA's New England office formally acknowledged Mr. Greenleaf's contributions during the annual New England Water Environment Association Conference at the Boston Copley Marriott Hotel earlier this year. However, because of necessary work that had to be taken care of at the plant and collection system due to poor weather conditions, Mr. Greenleaf was unable to attend at the time. This is yet another example of his dedication to the profession and to the Town of Newport. Staff from the U.S. EPA Regional Office and the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) presented the award to Mr. Greenleaf in person at the Newport plant on July 13.
Typical of wastewater professional, Mr. Greenleaf is humble and will always deflect credit to his staff and management team. These professionals include Richard Boone, Operator; Mike Denno, Utilities Technician; Kurt Laurie, Utilities Technician; Mike McGill, Utilities Technician; Robert Naylor, Water and Sewer Superintendent; Daniel O'Neill, Town Manager; Judy Schinck, Secretary; John Shull, Utilities Technician; Amy Spreadbury, Bookkeeper; and Larry Wiggins, Public Works Director.
"The professionals overseeing the operations and maintenance of our wastewater treatment plants play a crucial role in ensuring that our lakes and rivers are protected from unnecessary pollution," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator for EPA's New England Office. "I am proud to acknowledge Mr. Greenleaf's outstanding and unwavering efforts, along with his staff, colleagues, and town officials to help keep New Hampshire's waterways clean, and to further protect water quality and public health."

BRISTOL, Tenn. –King Tornado Men's Basketball remain undefeated in Conference Carolinas games after their 80-67 win over Belmont Abbey College Saturday night inside the Student Center Complex. Logan Lyle scored a team-high 21 points, all by way of three-point makes, in the team's win. Jason Seymore helped the Tornado improve to 10-1 overall with his fifth double-double of the season.
Belmont Abbey (8-4, 1-3) began the game strongly after starting out on a 6-0 run when Terrone Sheffey hit a three to start the game followed by Tyshawn Good's layup inside the first minute of play. The lead was short lived when King responded by scoring the next 10 points in succession to take a 10-6 advantage. Freshman Drew Standifer (Knoxville, Tenn.) began the run with a short jumper and was followed by junior Michael Fortune (Beckley, W.Va.) knocking down the next five King points. Logan Lyle (Unicoi, Tenn.) capped off the run with his first of seven three pointers.
King (10-1, 5-0) built its lead to double digits with just over five minutes to go in the first half when freshman Aaron Wheeler (Morristown, Tenn.) created a turnover and took the ball all the way back for a dunk that put King up 31-21. Lyle continued to hit his stroke hitting another three ball to extend the lead to 13 points. Freshman Malcolm St. Louis (Lebanon, Tenn.) scored King's final four points of the half to build King's lead to 17 points and took a 44-29 lead into halftime.
Logan Lyle and senior Eddie Piccinini (Orlando, Fla.) came out of the locker room to hit threes in consecutive possessions to extend their lead to a game-high 19 points, 50-31. A trio of turnovers allowed Belmont Abbey to cut into the lead, 50-38, but Piccinini helped bat down the rally with five points over a 48-second span to build the lead back to 17 points.
The Crusaders' Chris Davis scored six of the team's next eight points over a 9-0 run to bring the lead back to under 10 points, 59-50, with under 10 minutes to go. Lyle helped stopped the Belmont Abbey rally and turned an eight point led to 14, 79-65, with his six and seventh three pointers of the night in consecutive possessions. King held on to their lead over the final 1:25 to take home an 80-67 victory to remain undefeated in conference, 5-0.
Lyle missed tying his season-high point total (22) by one point after posting 21 points against the Crusaders. All 21 points came from three-point attempts, having gone 7-for-12 from behind the arc.
Three King players scored 10 or more points on the evening, including senior Jason Seymore (Powell, Tenn.) who finished with his fifth double-double of the year and second in as many games. Seymore followed up his game of perfection (10-10 FG) against No. 15 Barton with 11 points on 5-of-11 shooting and 11 rebounds. He added four assists, one block, and one steal. Also joining him in double-digit point totals was Eddie Piccinini with 16 points.
Tyshawn Good of Belmont Abbey led all scorers with 24 points on 9-of-21 shooting. Chris Davis recorded a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
The Tornado defense held the Crusader bench scoreless. Among the five reserves that entered the game, the group shot a combined 0-for-8 from the field.
With King's win and Limestone losing to No. 15 Barton earlier in the evening, the Tornado are now the last remaining undefeated team in conference play. Both Coker and Limestone are now 4-1 while Barton is 3-1. They will play at Erskine on Wednesday, Jan. 9, at 7:30 p.m. before returning to the Student Center Complex on Saturday, Jan. 12, when they host the Pfeiffer Falcons.

Column: Balotelli can shake off clown tag in Italy
"A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma:" Winston Churchill's famous description of Russia easily could be applied to Mario Balotelli.
With one important difference: Hidden inside the jumble of myths, stories and questions that Balotelli lugs around is a fabulous soccer player. Is, not was. It will be great for him and for soccer if he now gets to prove that again at AC Milan.
When headline-hungry tabloids were picking over his off-field life in England and toward the end of his stint with Manchester City, when he wasn't playing or contributing as much to the team, it became easy to forget just how thrilling Balotelli can be with a ball at his feet, a player who not only can make fans stomp in delight but also scratch their heads and laugh in disbelief.
Against Norwich City, remember that goal he scored with his shoulder? Other forwards would have headed in the ball. Balotelli, just to be safe, probably should have, too.
Safe? How boring. Balotelli nudged it in with right shoulder, cool as you like. Brilliant. Many goals are forgettable. That one will live long in the memory. Balotelli's unpredictability, his downright craziness at times, makes him an entertaining if not always reliable footballer and that is no bad thing.
As former Oasis star Noel Gallagher, a fan of the Italian, said in one of Balotelli's rare interviews in England: "Footballers in general in this country, they're quite boring and dull and I love you because you're Balotelli and you make me smile."
Standing out also has worked against Balotelli. In Manchester, photographers kept their lenses trained on him because there was always the chance that he would do something silly, perhaps fight with a teammate or manager Roberto Mancini. But when Balotelli was just doing mundane things – stroking a cat, climbing into his car with its custom camouflage exterior – photos of him still helped pay the bills.
Balotelli courted attention. Allowing friends to let off fireworks in his house and set fire to the toilet curtains in October 2011 was a gift to newspaper headline writers. Doubly so because this was before City's astounding 6-1 defeat of crosstown rival Manchester United, an epic match where Balotelli scored twice.
But he was a victim of attention, too. The goldfish bowl of the media spotlight isn't an easy place for a 22-year-old to thrive. Some of the stories about him were true. He is, for example, allergic to dry grass and he really did come back with a trampoline when his mother sent him out to buy an ironing board.
But he told Gallagher that many of the stories about him weren't true, that he didn't once give 1,000 pounds to a homeless man, drive around Manchester as Santa Claus or pay for everyone else's fuel as well as his own when he filled his car.
Balotelli, the soccer player, got lost in this maelstrom of stories. That was a shame.
Without Balotelli, City likely wouldn't have won the Premier League last year, "the miracle of Manchester" wouldn't have happened. In the waning seconds of the season, with City locked at 2-2 with Queens Park Rangers and needing another goal to take the title away from Manchester United, it was Balotelli who collected the ball in front of QPR's goal from Sergio Aguero.
Because of his strength, Balotelli he was able to hold off a tackle. He started to fall the ground but still was lucid and quick enough to swivel and flick the ball back to Aguero, into the path of his teammate as he sprinted into space. Aguero scored. The blue side of Manchester went delirious.
In the blue of Italy, Balotelli was also impressive at the European Championship last year. He was earnest when he had to be. He scored both Italian goals in a 2-1 semifinal victory over Germany. After the second goal, he stripped off his jersey to show off his tattooed, muscular body.
"If anyone is angry for my celebration, it's because they saw my physique and they're jealous," he said.
That was Balotelli at his best.
Back home in Italy, when he is closer to his family, it would be gratifying if he can become that good again. Milan director Umberto Gandini said the club's agreement with City is dependent on Balotelli passing a medical.
That Balotelli likes to clown around doesn't make him a clown. Now is his chance to have the last laugh.

Now, more than ever, financial computation involves more than pure number crunching, and the new financial leaders are looking to Mathematica for help.
Investment houses regularly "slice and dice" securities such as mortgages, government bonds, and even junk bonds to meet specific risk/return objectives. While spreadsheet programs and C/C++ remain useful, symbolic programming languages--i.e., languages that manipulate both the numbers and the symbols that represent the financial structures--are increasingly needed to deal with the increasing complexity of the financial world.
Dr. Ross Miller,1 one of the first to take a symbolic approach to financial analysis, used Mathematica to create a relatively simple model that is traditionally numerical in nature: the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
"Mathematica makes it possible to manipulate the Black-Scholes pricing formula directly as a symbolic entity. This greatly simplifies computing the various risk characteristics of an option--a task that is both tedious and error-prone when performed in a more traditional manner--and facilitates extensions of the model that are made 'on the fly.'"
Mathematica then helped pick up where the Black-Scholes option pricing model left off. Although the Black-Scholes model gives a closed-form solution for pricing European options, many other options cannot be priced by this model. Such options include American options and options whose terminal payoffs are dependent on the path followed by the stock price. Using the binary and binomial option pricing models and the Monte Carlo method, three financial engineers2 used Mathematica to price such options.
"Without Mathematica, others have had to use approximations to pricing formulas for options that are difficult to price. Mathematica enabled us to price many of these options directly."

It also looks like this OS build is running much better than in the last Touch 9850 video we posted. The BlackBerry Touch 9860 runs a 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB of RAM, 4GB internal memory with a microSD slot for up to 32 GB. You can see the full spec sheet we posted a couple days ago. As the video shows, this device is a bit longer than the Torch, but also is a bit thinner as well. Will you be getting the BlackBerry Touch?

This will be a quick post. Did you update the ADT plugin to v17? Did you find that there are problems with libraries?
The solution (for some of those problems) is:
- If your jar libraries are in a lib folder, rename it to libs.
- Remove all your jar libraries from the Build Path of your project. Don't need to add them again to the Build Path.
- In your libs folder, you should have just the jar libraries that your project is using. You can't have different versions of a single library. This is because if you've noticed, Eclipse creates now a reference in the Build Path called "Android Dependecies" and he puts there all the jar files that are in your libs folder.
- Follow steps 1, 2 and 3 for each Android Library Project that your project is using.
- Make a project clean.
Hope it helps anybody! 😀

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is an effective method to treat Internet addiction, according to a study detailed in the Journal of Behavioral Addictions.
Dr. Kimberly Young, professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at St. Bonaventure University, authored the December 2013 article, titled "Treatment Outcomes Using CBT-IA with Internet-Addicted Patients."
Dr. Young is a licensed psychologist and internationally known expert on Internet dependence. In 1995, she founded the Center for Internet Addiction, the first evidence-based Digital Detox rehabilitation program in the country.
Dr. Young's research examined 128 patients' use of cognitive-behavioral therapy to treat Internet addiction. Her findings revealed that therapy was effective in improving online time management and managing technology use at the end of 12 weekly therapy sessions.
"Internet addiction is a fairly new field. Literature on it will define it and what leads up to it, but not what will treat it," Dr. Young said. "This is an important study because it's one of the first with outcome data. After weekly sessions, people had better time management with their Internet use, improving their real-life relationships. "
While finishing a fellowship in neuropsychology at the Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y., Dr. Young began her research in 1995 when a friend revealed her husband's Internet dependence.
"It got me thinking: Can people get addicted to the Internet in the same way that some are hooked on drugs, gambling or sex?" she said. "I started to learn more about the significant life problems people were having because of their Internet use."
Dr. Young is happy to have found a treatment that works to treat excessive Internet use.
"Since cognitive therapy works, we now have a model and a framework for helping people," she said. "Time management is a really important, key variable of treatment."
When Dr. Young began her research, only one out of every 10 Americans used the Internet. Today, Internet addiction is seen around the world.
"The more I studied it, the more I learned about what I call the 'silent addiction,'" she said. "People didn't want to believe that there's any kind of problem."
Dr. Young published more of her findings in another article called "Self-esteem, Personality and Internet Addiction: A Cross-Cultural Comparison Study in Personality and Individual Differences," in the prestigious Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Using a short online experiment, the study assessed personality dimensions and individual differences in achievement motivation, affiliation and conscientiousness using various personality measures.
Dr. Young co-authored the article with experts from around the world: Dr. Cecilia Cheng from the University of Hong Kong; Dr. Christian Montag, University of Bonn, Germany; Dr. Andrew Cooper, Goldsmiths University in London; Dr. Luke Smillie, University of Melbourne; Dr. Martin Voracek, University of Vienna; and Dr. Songfa Zhong, University of Singapore.
Dr. Young said she wasn't surprised by the findings.
"Culturally, we didn't see many differences," she said. "The outcomes were consistent among most people, regardless of where in the world they lived."
Dr. Young has published more than 40 articles on the impact of online abuse and travels nationally to speak about her research. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, London Times, USA Today, Newsweek, Time, CBS News, Fox News, Good Morning America and ABC's World News Tonight.

- The JCT's introduction of the 2005 suite of standard form construction contracts is certainly more than just a "facelifting" exercise. Not only have the 2005 forms been redrafted using less legalistic language and sorted into a more user-friendly format, important developments have also been incorporated, triggered by changes in both the industry and the law.
- Space and time prevent an exhaustive analysis of all such developments. Instead, the focus of this talk will be on four key areas in which the most striking changes appear to have been made, namely:
(I) Layout and Structure of the 2005 forms
- The drafting of the 2005 forms has been heavily influenced by a search for uniformity and modernisation (probably influenced by the fact that they are newly published by Sweet & Maxwell). This has manifested itself in several different ways.
Section-Headed Approach
- The documents published so far adopt a "section-headed" approach rather than a "clause-by-clause" structure, splitting each contract into parts with titles such as "Carrying Out the Works", "Control of the Works" etc.
- To a familiar user of the 1998 forms, such a re-jigging certainly appears a little unfamiliar. The sectional approach has had the effect of rearranging the conditions in such forms. (It is important to be aware that, although there have been some significant changes to substance, for the most part the new forms do reflect the provisions of the old (although those provisions may have moved around – so you will need to cross-check!)).
- The net result is an undoubtedly more "user-friendly" contract designed to be more accessible to contracting parties and construction professionals alike.
Project-Specific Approach
- Perhaps in an attempt to encourage contracting parties to properly fill in details of the works to which the contract relates, "project-specific" information, traditionally located in the Appendix to the conditions, has been shifted to the front of the Contract in what is generally known as the "Contract Particulars".
- The Contract Particulars also include, for the first time, the identity of parties to whom third party rights are to be given and factors regulating liability under the contract such as net contribution clauses for subcontractors. This is an important inclusion and is discussed in more detail below.
Integration of Supplements
- Another welcome development is the integration of some supplements into the main text of the 2005 Contracts, obviating the need to read two documents together or, in the case of hard copies, to make numerous amendments to clauses.
- For example, under the Standard Building Contract 2005 ("SBC 2005"), sectional completion is dealt with by express contractual provisions (in particular, the Articles of Agreement, the Contract Particulars, the Definitions under clause 1 and the Conditions) rather than by the addition and incorporation of a supplement.
Greater use of Schedules
- On the other hand, curtailments to the body of the standard form text have been made by cross-referring back to the Contract Particulars. For example, under the 1998 standard form contract there were lengthy options for the insurance of the works under clauses 22A, 22B or 22C, meaning that once one of these has been selected, the other two clauses are rendered superfluous. The result was unwieldy and potentially confusing.
- Clause 6.7 of SBC 2005 now simply provides:
"Insurance Options A, B and C are set out in schedule 3. The Insurance Option that applies to this Contract is that stated in the Contract Particulars"
Publication of Guides
- The JCT has produced "guides" to assist the user in finding the equivalent provisions in the older standard form contracts in the new editions.
- Whether such guides will be used by contracting parties as a reference tool (which is presumably what they are intended to be) or as a resource for bespoke amendments remains to be seen…
(II) Contractor's Design Responsibilities
- The 2005 reformatting of the JCT contracts has seen two notable additions to the range, namely the Minor Works Building Contract with Contractor's Design ("MWD 2005") and Intermediate Works Building Contract with Contractor's Design ("ICD 2005"), specifically tailored for the smaller end of the market where the contractor provides some design input subject to supervision from the architect or contract administrator.
- Neither contract is intended to be a substitute for a design and build contract; indeed, both appear only to be suitable in circumstances where the parties intend that the contractor is to be responsible for a discrete element of the design.
- Perhaps in order to emphasise this point, both contracts oblige the employer (i) to supply detailed requirements for the intended "contractor's design portion", (ii) to examine the contractor's proposals in respect of such requirements and (iii) to satisfy himself that those proposals are adequate (see Seventh Recital).
- It is of course open to an employer to delete or amend such provisions in an attempt to impose a more onerous design responsibility upon a contractor than was intended by JCT draftsmen. This may well be an area where disputes occur.
- More interestingly from the lawyer's point of view, the contractor's design obligation differs between the two contracts. Under ICD 2005, the standard of care in relation to the design of the particular portion is that of a professional designer.1 Conversely, under MWD 2005 the standard is that of reasonable skill, care and diligence.2 The question which presumably will be left for the courts to decide is whether the reasonable skill and care to be expected of a contractor carrying out design work is different to the skill and care to be expected of a professional designer.
Contractor's obligation to "complete" the design
- By including a clause within SBC 2005, DB 2005, IDP 2005 and MWD 2005 which expressly provides that a contractor is not responsible for checking the adequacy of any design contained within the employer's requirements, the JCT appears to have kicked the principle laid down by the decision in Cooperative Insurance Society v Henry Boot Scotland Limited (2003) CLJ 19 109 squarely into touch.
- In Boot, HHJ Seymour QC held that a contractor charged with "completion" of design work was under a duty of care to examine an employer's pre-existing design and to satisfy himself that the same was such that would produce a completed design capable of being constructed.
- However, this is not to say that a contractor has no responsibility whatsoever in relation to the design:
- under SBC 2005, DB 2005 and ICD 2005 (though not MWD 2005), a contractor is obliged to notify any inadequacies in the employer's requirements upon becoming aware of the same, and then to seek reimbursement for related costs by way of a variation;
- Further (save under MWD 2005), it is incumbent on the contractor to ensure that the employer's design complies with any statutory requirements (except in the case of DB 2005 where the employer's requirements state that they are so compliant).
Design Review Procedure
- Both DB 2005 and SBC 20053 contain a "design review procedure" whereby the
contractor is required to submit all design documents that it prepares for review. Following such a review, design
documents are graded as follows:
- "A" – contractor to proceed with the works in accordance with the design document. To prevent any undue delay, a design is deemed to have been marked "A" in the event that it is not returned within 14 days of submission;
- "B" – contractor proceed with the works in accordance with architect/employer comments. Design must also be amended to take on board such comments;
- "C" – contractor to resubmit design document incorporating comments made. No works to be carried out.
- A contractor is only entitled to be paid in respect of such work where it has been executed in accordance with designs marked A or B.
- It remains to be seen whether an employer may seek to cross the line between making comments on designs which are for the purposes of gaining confidence that the contractor is having proper regard to the contractual requirements and making comments which, in effect, attempt to vary the design requirements via the back door. To protect against this, a contractor is required to raise any challenges to comments which appear to introduce a variation within 7 days of the comment being made. Absent this, such comments will be deemed not to constitute a variation.
(III) Third Party Rights
- Despite a clear market demand for collateral warranties, especially following the infamous decision of the House of Lords in Murphy v Brentwood, the JCT has consistently refused to incorporate provisions for a contractual warranty between main contractor and third parties (principally purchasers, tenants and funders). Inevitably, such a provision led to a proliferation of bespoke forms of collateral warranties.
- The granting of third party rights has already been included in the 2003 Major Project Form ("MPF") (although this did not and does not extend to the provision of warranties).
- Perhaps encouraged by the MPF, or alarmed by the number of bespoke warranties in existence, SBC 2005, DB 2005 and IC/ICD 2005 now include provisions for main contractor and subcontractor collateral warranties in favour of purchasers, tenants and funders.
- However, it should be noted that the nature of such provisions varies markedly across the 2005 suite of contracts. For example, the MW/MWD05 contains no such clauses, whereas the SBC 05 makes provision for collateral warranties, sub-contractor collateral warranties and the granting of third party rights.
- Should such provisions exist, it is critical that the Contract Particulars in relation to warranties or third party rights are carefully filled in. In addition to identifying the beneficiaries, the parties also need to identify the part of the works to be purchased or let and whether or not a warranty or third party rights are to be granted (if a choice is available).
- Specific details requiring attention include whether or not a contractor is to be liable for non-repair losses incurred by the beneficiary and any "cap" to be applied to the net contribution clause of the warranty. Should no purchasers, tenants or funders be identified by name, class or description, then an employer will not be able to subsequently ask for warranties or third party rights in relation to the same.
- A notice identifying (i) the relevant purchaser, tenant or funder and (ii) his particular interest in the works must be served by actual, special or recorded delivery upon the contractor, following which the contractor has fourteen days to enter into the relevant form of warranty. Third party rights vest in the appropriate beneficiaries upon the contractor's receipt of a notice from the employer.
- Should sub-contractor remedies be required (as provided for under IC/ICD 05, SBC 05 and DB 05) then it is incumbent upon the contractor to "comply with the requirements set out in the Contract Documents as to obtaining such warranties". It is up to the parties to decide whether such an obligation is absolute or restricted to using the contractor's "best endeavours" or "reasonable endeavours".
- The 2005 suite anticipates that standard form warranties (such as the JCT CWa/P&T (for purchasers and tenants) or the JCT CWa/F (for funders)) will be adopted by the parties, but the contracts provide that the agreed forms are subject to bespoke amendments.
(IV) Dispute Resolution
- For the lawyer and construction professional alike, perhaps the most significant practical development implemented by the 2005 forms has been the apparent sea change to the familiar JCT dispute resolution procedure.
- Whilst the draftsmen have shied away from a "uniform" procedure, applicable across the entire 2005 suite of, it is fair to say that the new forms see arbitration as being on the wane.
- The JCT Adjudication rules have been scrapped in favour of the Scheme for Construction Contracts.
- One significant consequence of this is that it would seem that no more than one dispute at a time can be referred. It had previously been decided that under the JCT adjudication provisions (but not the Scheme) multiple disputes could be referred in one adjudication – R Durtnell & Sons v Kaduna Ltd [2003] BLR 225.
- Arbitration still exists but is no longer the default position; for it to apply, an express entry must be made in the Contract Particulars against Article 8.
- Even though the draftsmen did not go as far as removing the provision for arbitration entirely, such as in the case of the MPF, this development remains a particularly interesting one, especially in the light of the recent shake-up of the TCC.
- The dispute resolution procedure under these two forms is broadly the same as the SBC 2005. However, given that both forms may well be used by parties who fall within the definition of "residential occupiers" for the purposes of s.106 Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, the accompanying guides to each contract contain a "health warning":
- Care needs to be taken where an Intermediate Building Contract is used for a contract with a residential occupier within the meaning of section 106 HGRA 1996…
- Since Part II of that Act does not apply to contracts with residential occupiers, as defined, the Employer's Architect or contract administrator may be under a duty to advise his or her client(s) accordingly, in particular with regard to adjudication and as to whether or not to disapply Article 7 and clause 9.2.
- The Contract complies with the requirements of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 in providing for adjudication and certain payment provisions; however, not all building contracts are subject to this Act. For example, a contract with a residential occupier within the meaning of section 106 of the Act is excluded and therefore it does not need to contain adjudication provisions, but a residential occupier in entering into a Minor Works Building Contract will be accepting adjudication as a means of resolving disputes.
5. Conclusions
- In general terms, the changes implemented by the 2005 suite of JCT contracts are to be welcomed and evidences the fact that constructive criticism from commentators is not necessarily ignored! 4
- However, as with all contracts, it will be open to the parties to amend, add or omit certain clauses – especially those which appear unfamiliar. For example, issues in relation to the existence and extent of a contractor's design responsibility may be an area which proves to be particularly fruitful for those in the legal profession.
For further information…(!)
- See the forthcoming publication "Keating on the JCT Contracts" which will:
- Be published by Sweet & Maxwell (and written by members of Keating Chambers)
- Provide clause by clause commentary on (eventually) all of the new suite
- Be in looseleaf and updated format
- Contain extensive cross-referencing to Keating on Building Contracts (new edition also out shortly!)
1. clause 2.34.1
2. clause 2.1.1
3. although only if the Contractor's Design Portion in the Seventh Recital is applicable
4. By way of example, we would like to think that the removal of all provisions in relation to nominated subcontractors is in no small part due to the criticism levied towards the same in Keating on Building Contracts!
The articles and papers published by Keating Chambers are for the purpose of raising general awareness of issues and stimulating discussion. The contents must not be relied upon or applied in any given situation. There is no substitute for taking appropriate professional advice.

England is a top destination with so much to offer. If you want to get the most out of your trip to England When to Go is one of the most important factors. No matter when you decide to go make sure to bring clothes for all seasons.
England is beautiful in the fall and is the best time to visit. Traveling during September and October will offer the best climate. You will also find that the summer crowds have slowed down during September and October. England is less busy during the fall and the tourist attractions are not as busy. Visiting during the fall can also provide discounts on hotel and airfare.
April and May are also a good time to visit England. April and May offer wonderful travel discounts and the weather is pretty nice as well. April and May are a little more crowded than the fall months but still no where near the crowds during the summer. Most of the flowers are blooming making it an ideal time to visit.
During the summer months you will find England to be very crowded. You will also find it hard to get travel discounts as the summer is a very popular time to travel. If you are going to travel during the summer make sure to book your trip in advance.
Winter is not an ideal time to visit England. The weather is cold and wet. If you do decide to travel during the winter months make sure to bring plenty of warm clothing.

- The team held a 90-minute training session at Tad Gormley Stadium on Friday night and were greeted post-practice by 10 supporters from Section 8 Chicago who made the 15-hour drive on Thursday.
- Signed players unavailable for selection Saturday are Logan Pause, who has stayed in Chicago with his wife following the couple's first child, Sean Johnson, who's resting after a long offseason of national team camps and training at Everton and Rafael Robayo, who continues to await his visa.
- Pause and Johnson will rejoin the team on February 8 in Ventura, Calif., while Robayo is expected to meet his teammates for the first time at some point during the stay out west.
- Friday the club released Supplemental Draft picks defender Justin Chavez, striker Evans Frimpong and goalkeeper Carl Woszczynski.
- There are a total of 27 players available for selection Saturday night: 21 signed, 3 unsigned draftees and 3 unsigned trialists.
- Saturday's opponents Real Espana are five matches into the 2012 Honduran Clausura. The side is 1-2-2 on the campaign and sit seventh in the 10-team Liga Nacional. The side hasn't won since their first match of the season, a 2-1 victory over Deportes Savio on January 11. The team features former LA Galaxy and legendary Honduran striker Carlos Pavon.
- The Fire are approaching the team's third week of preseason, with the team playing its third match in six days Saturday afternoon after drawing 0-0 with DC United Sunday in Ft. Myers, Fla. and defeating Florida Gulf Coast 3-0 Wednesday night in Ave Maria, Fla.
- Moving away from the three period setup with almost three entirely different XI's, Fire head coach Frank Klopas is expected to give two different teams 45 minutes each in Saturday's match. In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided by penalty kicks.
- Honduran trialist Ivan Guerrero, has received much media attention around Saturday's game. Having made over 200 appearances for giants Motagua, the midfielder told Chicago-Fire.com: "Saturday will be special for me because I know every player on that team. In New Orleans there is such a large Honduran population so it's a big game for us and them and we're continuing towards the season but we know there will be a lot of people tomorrow and you always want to win games."
- Having played with the Fire from 2005-07, Guerrero is looking to earn a spot with the club and has played admirably both at left back and on the wing the past two weeks: "I'm very excited to be with the team again working hard. I'm very happy with the group and everyone in the organization. Now I'm just waiting on my chance to play. This was my first team in the league. I feel something special to be here again because I won a championship with this team. I want to win MLS Cup here -- that is the motivation for me now."
The Chicago Fire played the club's first-ever U.S. Open Cup semifinal in New Orleans in 1998. The team used goals from Ante Razov (11'), Roman Kosecki (56') and Lubos Kubik (74') to down the Dallas Burn in front of 6,154 fans at Zephyr Stadium in Metairie, La. on August 4, 1998, setting up the team's memorable Open Cup Final victory, a 2-1 win over the Columbus Crew in which current head coach Frank Klopas scored the golden goal.
