WASHINGTON — A 2,000-pound bomb dropped from an Air Force B-52 strayed off course during an attack Monday in southern Afghanistan, and there were reports that scores of civilians had been killed or wounded in that area, military officials said.
Residents in the area of the attack in Oruzgun province said that at least 40 members of a wedding party were killed and about 70 more were wounded by the bomb, according to reports from news organizations. But Pentagon officials could neither confirm the casualty figures nor whether they resulted from the U.S. bomb or from hostile artillery fire aimed at coalition aircraft that had rained down on the civilians.
"We are aware of the reports of civilian casualties," said Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman. "It is unclear at this point if those civilian casualties were the result of our errant bomb, or if they were the result of anti-aircraft artillery."
In either case, if the estimates prove accurate, the episode would be one of the worst instances of civilian casualties in the nine-month war in Afghanistan. If a U.S. bomb is found to be responsible, it could strain relations with the new government in Kabul.
Four wounded Afghan civilians were flown by U.S. helicopters to the allied air base at Kandahar for treatment, Pentagon officials said.
A spokesman for the Central Command in Tampa, Col. Ray Shepherd, said that a team of U.S. and Afghan military and diplomatic officials had been dispatched to the site of the attack, near the village of Kakrakai, in a rugged area 105 miles northeast of Kandahar, to try to make sense of what officials said was a confusing situation.
Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, told the Bakhtar Information Agency, "We are trying to organize aid, and a commission has gone there headed by the ministry of frontier affairs."

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a rut with your wardrobe? Well, for someone like me, it's a sad situation, because I love using clothes to show whatever crazy thing I'm into at the moment, whether it be fifties housewife (usually the case) or cowboys (I found some boots in Flag--sooooo excited to wear them).
It's not so much a rut as an impatience. Can't it be cooler out, already? All I want to do is wear tights and cardigans and jackets and headbands (Maybe I am just experiencing GG withdrawal?). Sometimes I start getting dressed and I realize that I am wearing 3492374938 more layers than is acceptable for summer in Arizona. I do love the warm weather, but I think I love dressing for Fall and Winter just as much, if not more. I think that I might be able to weather (pun intended) living somewhere else (like Portland, yeah!) with cold winters for this reason alone. As long as I can wear some chunky sweaters and hats, life is good.

Lucy is all talk
For months now, Lucy and I have been speaking each other's unspoken language. Our conversations have gone pretty much like this:
Lucy: Gimme milk.
Me: OK.
Lucy: Idle hands are the devil's plaything. So, if you don't mind, I'm going to tweak your spare nipple while I eat.
Me: I really wish you wouldn't. Here. Hold this kazoo instead.
Lucy: I'll hold it, but you're going to have to play it.
And, while Lucy eats, I serenade her with the kazoo. Although it sounds as though Lucy is getting the better end of the bargain here, my kazoo repertoire is severely limited. Lucy has to listen to the same two songs over and over again, and my personal parts get a break. Let there be no doubt about who is in charge, here.
As Lucy's vocabulary gets more developed, though, the precious balance we have struck is teetering. If Lucy says "GOCK!" I get her a cracker. Right away.
If she says "GTZZHHH," she gets to touch my glasses, right on the lenses. "BOT!" gives her a free poke at my bellybutton, although I do make it clear that it's demoralizing when she cackles at my wobbly stomach. She doesn't know how to say, "Sorry," so for now, I am just assuming she feels some remorse.
But she probably isn't, or I wouldn't be playing the kazoo so often. And this makes me realize that Lucy has become the boss of me, and possibly of Adam, too.
For example, last weekend, Adam asked her if she wanted peas or corn for dinner. "Peas," he said. "Or corn?"
Lucy just sat there, gazing at us regally. She didn't even blink.
Then I asked, "Do you want peas, or corn, or both?"
"Both," Lucy said.
Adam and I immediately started trying to figure out where she'd learned both. We wanted to make sure we'd really heard what we thought we heard, so after he fixed a little heap of each, he had her show him a pea, then show him some corn, and then show him both.
She did. Lucy understands "both." I hope it's the only four-letter word she understands, or I'm going to be one sorry motherbother. More to the point, though, she got us to fix her two side dishes, when any reasonable toddler knows that one is all she really should expect.
Lucy also chides us when we put our large, adult legs to work going down stairs. She still has to go down backward, like an inchworm. If we get too far ahead, she stands up, flutters her hands and says, "Wait. Wait."
Naturally, we do.
Laramie, our precious part-time nanny, had the good sense to get Lucy to start saying please. So now, when Lucy walks up, says, "BOOK!" and thrusts something to read in our laps, we say, "Please." This makes Lucy smile, probably because she knows she's supposed to be saying please, but she's managed to pass that off on us, too.
If things keep going this way, Lucy's going to have us talked into buying her a car by the time she's in kindergarten, even if I have to sell a kidney on eBay to pay for it. The only hope I have is that Adam continues to put Lucy's interest in fashion to good use.
Yesterday morning, as he sat sipping his cup of coffee, he asked Lucy if she'd please bring him his shoes.
And she did. She carried two at once, which is impressive, considering the fact that Adam's feet plus a coat of wax on the bottom would make a nice pair of skis.
So, there is hope for us yet. And it's filling me with dreams. Big dreams. Lucy is sleeping peacefully right now, probably dreaming herself. But when she wakes up, it's going to be all business.
The only question: Should I teach her "make me a sandwich" or "rub my feet?"On second thought, the answer is obvious. It has to be both.

Birds Are Entrepreneurs - Poem by Donal Mahoney
I have an old friend
on a country estate
happily retired.
Decades ago
we were city kids
when that was fun.
Now we settle issues
bedeviling the world
by email.
The other day he said
he had asked his wife
to stop feeding
the birds, something
she loves to do.
No more nectar for
hummers in summer;
no more suet or seed
for cardinals and jays
in winter.
Birds, he said, like people,
have to make it on their own.
Then I remembered when
I went to college, he chose
to jump out of airplanes
during the conflict in Korea.
He came home intact,
built his own company,
sold it for millions,
bought an estate.
And now he believes birds
must be entrepreneurs.
We agreed birds are that.
You don't see birds
in the yard or street
dead from starvation.
If you find one,
it was likely
killed by a cat.
The birds at his estate
will be fine but what
about his wife, I asked.
What new hobby
might she like.
Maybe a few hours
a week at a food pantry,
I suggested, helping
the unemployed
and the poor.
Because not everyone,
we finally agreed,
jumps out of airplanes
or is an entrepreneur.

Estudi de cas sobre el tractament integrat del verb en una aula d'educació secundària
This paper is based on the assumption that it is positive to teach languages in an integrated way. Nevertheless, we must find out to what an extent this statement has an incidence on the daily practice of teachers. The main goal of this research is to find an answer to this question by means of a comparative analysis about the way Catalan and Spanish verbs are taught in secondary school. This study will verify that there is no integrated teaching of those languages whenever verbs are taught as a grammatical concept. Consequently, the results of this short research will show that it is really necessary to build strong links between the research in both languages teaching and actual teaching practices which take place at the classroom.

The electrical resistivity meter in fishery investigations
Special Scientific Report - Fisheries 287
- By:
- Robert E. Lennon
- More information: Publisher Index Page
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
A portable resistivity (or conductivity) meter is easily used in fishery investigations to obtain rapid and precise measurements of the electrical resistance (or conductance) of waters. These measurements can be used to estimate the total dissolved solids content of waters, to facilitate the selection of appropriate gear for efficient electrofishing, and to determine the velocity, stretch-out, dilution, and effective range of a solute over miles of a stream in conjunction with chemical reclamation operations. Applications of resistivity measurements on Appalachian streams are discussed.

Hollywood (2003)
Corrosion (Koroze)
What happens when it´s quiet
When the quiet begins to lose itself
In between the crevices
Among the confusion
In the footprints in the mud
What happens when it´s cold
When the cold can´t be felt
In the fingers
Among words
In the emptiness of a net
What happens when there´s confusion
And what if the confusion starts to weaken
In between the bustle
Among what is
And what isn´t right
Everything changes to humiliation
In the light of everyday corrosion
Stay within reach
The shadow asks the hand
And holds it by the finger
Stay within reach
The shadow prays: Can you forgive me?
I stumble around
Like a flakg with no markings
A spilled out puddle
Which nothing will ever change
Stay! (please)
Within your own arm reach
( - and turn out the lights !... )
Waves and bells
Bells and waves
Bells and thorns
And waves and waves and...
Swallowing (Polykat)
Swallowing un-mannered spittle - swallowing
Swallowing and pretending there are other ways
Swallowing and keeping the apparitions off your brow
Swallowing what horrifies - lying down in bed
And to sleep
Swallowing evening defenselessness - swallowing
Swallowing and pretending that there´s enough of everything
Swallowing and having no hungry place in the body
Swallowing what is prohibited - lying down in bed
And to sleep
A Bell (Zvonek)
Respecting the silence after the question
Offering what doesn´t exists
So over-easy
So shameless
To be close to absolution
A heap
Cast from memory in our haste
Doesn´t dare make a sound - sleep!
We will be restless minute by minute
We will wake with a start
Side by side
I´ll take away - all I can!
I´ll lock away - all that remains!
I´ll cover what will pour through!
And what will sleep through - I´ll deny! Deny!
A heap
Condemned to eternity
Motionless - bottomless - like foam city
We will sleep restlessly
Side by side
I´ll take away - all I can!
And what will flow away - I´ll shout down!
(What I shout down - I needn´t face...)
After blindness (Poslepu)
After blindness
I feel better!
I don´t see the cross - roads
Happiness or un-happiness
I don´t wear down
My eyes or legs
I don´t rush anywhere
I choke myself with darkness
I float quietly
Darkness leads to darkness
I gaze into the mirror
Touch my teeth
Are they smiling or are they bared?
And I go to the theater
To hand out looks
Looks with no response
In the morning I grope out the window
Whether it´s still morning,
At night whether it´s still night
Everything has its own order
After blindness I´m not sorry
And in the dark I kneel kneeling
The chateau seems like a mirror of contempt to us
But it gained its misfortune from among us
Everyone would like to break through foreign walls
(And brashly therein reside)
Carefully locked within oneself
Nailing oranges to the wall
Reading the future from their juice
Being kind to one´s own words
Not leaving one´s chateau abandoned
To reach at least a little understandin
To stand in open windows after the morning
To look about
Go there I don´t know where bring it I don´t know what (Jdi tam, nevim kam, prines to, nevim co)
I don´t want to touch
My own skin
I don´t want to seek
That which will help me
I don´t want to get in your way
I don´t want to run from you
Nothing will be changed about the fact
And it wont stop hurting
That I want what is not
What I myself
Do not allow
Nothing will be changed about the fact
That I want what is not

Forex brokers deal in foreign exchanges and foreign currency trading. They are different from most brokers because the commissions for forex brokers are derived from the trader's spread that is offered by the broker. This spread is the difference between the offer made and the actual bid obtained. Since the market moves so quickly these brokers need to be constantly available and have a fast reliable platform on which to trade.
Some full service brokerage firms have brokers specializing in foreign exchange and currencies. There are other brokerages firms that only deal in foreign trading. Either way the forex brokers have to be accredited so they are familiar with the terms and rules established by the exchange for trading currencies. Based on current market conditions they should have the flexibility to swap between various currencies at any given time without a wide range of commissions to the broker.
Forex brokers should provide the trader with advice on profitable investments based on their current knowledge and strategies used around foreign exchanges and foreign currencies. They should also provide the trader with a reliable platform in which to make their trades, including current information, newsletters, charts and trends to assist the trader in making a wise investment choice.
Your forex broker should offer and guarantee stop losses with reasonable charges and fees. They should also minimize slippage. Stop losses and slippage are some of the most important aspects of training on a foreign exchange so your forex broker should offer the best support and services available for traders.
A reputable bank should be used to hold your trading funds rather than the brokers holding account. When you start using a new forex broker, start out investing small until you become more confident with their abilities and your returns. This can also help minimize your investment and trading risks.
Forex - Futures - Currency Brokers - Which Do You Need
Zee News
Online Forex and Forex Money Management
Ever wondered how big eToro - Online Forex Trading Platform is, be ready to be astounded. By comparison, the New York Stock Exchange is a light weight as it "only" trades an average of 2 billion dollars a day. In fact, you would need to combine both the Futures market and the Stock market and then time it by 3 to get nearer to the value of the Forex Trading Market. Did you ever think it was so big?
But what is it that Forex Traders trade in the Foreign Exchange Market? The answer to that question is simple: Money! Forex Trading is the act of trading one currency against another. A trader might decide to sell some of the US Dollars he/she owns and buy Japanese Yens. This simultaneous exchange of currencies is thus at the core of Commodity Forex Online Trading. Because two currencies need to be involved in any trade, they are referred to as pairs. For example the Euro dollar and the US dollar (EUR/USD) or the British pound and the Japanese Yen (GBP/JPY).
Before money had even been invented, the economy relied on the simple principle of barter exchange. If you wanted one product, you would pick one of yours and hope to exchange it with the one you liked. In this case, the owner of the other product and yourself would set the price and if agreed, the exchange would take place. When it comes to Commodity Forex Online Trading, the analogy with the bartering system still holds, only this time, the value of the currencies is floated and thus estimated globally according to market forces.
Most people don't realize the huge mistake they make when beginning their trading career. There are several elements to the mental trap that people get caught in when they first start trading that sets them on the wrong course, but one particular error is the one that virtually guarantees failure, or at least a rather lengthy and loss-filled road in becoming a successful trader.
Luckily, even though this situation is one that is hard to foresee and very understandable that it happens, there is a direct and rather simple resolution to the problem.
Breast Cancer Symtoms
A change in size or shape of the mature breast:
If a mature breast changes size or shape, and especially if only one breast is changing, it may signal that milk ducts or the lobes deeper within the breast are swelling. This could be due to fibrocystic or regular monthly hormonal cycles. If the changes are not in step with regular periodical changes, consult a health professional and get an exam. Having a baseline mammogram can help you and your doctor keep track of changes with accuracy.
Unusual pain in the breast or in the armpit:
Know your cyclical pains, and note if breast pain occurs in tune with the monthly period, and in both breasts. While uncomfortable, if it is normal to you, it may not be worrisome. But if you have pain which occurs off-cycle or in only one breast or armpit, get it checked out. Keeping a good record of your cycles will help you understand hormonal changes in your breasts, and also helps your doctor and nurse determine what may be happening in your body.
Everything is Connected:
Our bodies go through cycles and changes, some of which are due to age, weight gain or loss, hormones, medications, pregnancy, stress, or changes in diet. Some of us are very aware of living in our bodies, while others of us live more in our minds or in our emotions. In order to have and keep our health, it's good to be aware of our body and its rhythms.
Just as getting a toothache can seem to make your entire head hurt, or pulling a muscle in your leg causes you to limp and throws you off balance, finding a change in your breast affects your overall health and may signal a need to get a checkup or a diagnostic screening.

Information On How to Deal with Forex Trading
Forex trading is a good investment option, if you know what you are doing. However, if you have no idea about the market, it is safer and best for you to invest in safer investment alternatives such as bonds and mutual funds. Forex trading is highly volatile and though there are currencies that are more or less stable, the rate fluctuations are wide. In fact, in one day, there can be many price fluctuations.
This is the reason why some people engage in day trading wherein investors buy and sell their currencies within the day, several times, taking advantage of the many price fluctuations to get earn a profit. Many experts however discourage this as it can create artificial supply and demand patterns in the market.
Price fluctuations are brought on by many factors. One of which is the current interest rates that are prevailing in that country. There is also the economy of the country. The better the economy of the country involved, the better it will be for the currency, remaining stable and appreciating.
Employment rate of the country and the rate of buying and spending of the country may also affect the price fluctuations. Even scandals and peace problems can also have impact on how the currency will perform in forex trading.
When you trade forex, it is important to understand how to place orders with a forex broker. Trading orders are chosen according to your trading style and intentions – the way you plan to enter and exit forex market.
A stop loss order closes an existing trade and prevents the unnecessary losses. When the stop loss order is reached (this happens when the price movement climes above or drops below a specified stop price), the trade is closed at the current market price.
A Stop order becomes a market order as soon as the stop price selected is reached. Thus, for example, instead of losing 100 pips, you lose only 20. Stop loss is rather a term, then an actual order type and the main agenda of a stop loss is to exit a losing trade without having an out of control situation!
A limit order in forex refers to a "limit" price at which you wish for a trade to be implemented. It is an order of maximum or minimum at which you plan to buy or sell. Limit order is very useful since it guarantees the trade to be executed at a selected price.
When you want to start trading the Forex Market nobody is asking you for a diploma, a formal license or a proof of how many hours you have spent studying the Foreign Exchange Market and/or Banking Industry.
FOREX Trading is Economical and Start-up Costs are Low! You can open an account to trade Forex with as little as US$ 200 at he most brokerage firms. I personally do recommend Fenix Capital Management, LLC, which offers a state of art Trading platform, that allows you to place orders directly by clicking on the chart.
The Main Benefits of Trading the FX Spot Market are:
* YOU don't pay commissions or fees!
* YOU can trade 24-hours a day !
* YOU can trade up to 400:1 Leverage !
* YOU can have FREE Streaming executable Price quotes and live charts!
It is important to know the differences between cash FOREX (SPOT FX) and currency futures.
* In currency futures, the contract size is predetermined.
* With FOREX (SPOT FX), you may trade electronically any desired amount, up to $10 Million USD.
* The futures market closes at the end of the business day (similar to the stock market).If important data is released overseas while the U.S. futures markets is closed, the next day's opening might sustain large gaps with potential for large losses if thedirection of the move is against your position.
* The Spot FOREX market runs continuously on a 24-hour basis from 7:00 am New Zealand time Monday morning to 5:00 pm New York Time Friday evening.
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a serious condition that weakens the body's immune system, leaving it unable to fight off illness.
AIDS is the last stage in a progression of diseases resulting from a viral infection known as the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV or AIDS virus). The diseases include a number of unusual and severe infections, cancers and debilitating illnesses, resulting in severe weight loss or wasting away, and diseases affecting the brain and central nervous system.
There is no cure for HIV infection or AIDS nor is there a vaccine to prevent HIV infection. However, new medications not only can slow the progression of the infection, but can also markedly suppress the virus, thereby restoring the body's immune function and permitting many HIV-infected individuals to lead a normal, disease-free life.
Medical Terminology TIps
Living with HIV is a constant learning process. Not only are we forced to learn about the disease itself, but in many instances we must learn the medical jargon that is associated with it.
For those of us who lack a formal medical education, this is often a difficult process. I remember learning during early childhood that there were usually two, and sometimes three, different names for the same part of the human body. There was the common term, which we all learned, like head, arm, etc.; there might be a "kid's" term like "pinkie," and then there was the obscure "medical term." How many of us remember having this one pulled on us in the third or fourth grade? "Psst! Hey, your epidermis is showing!" Mortified, we invariably glanced toward our genital region assuming we had left something unzipped -- only to have the other kids laugh and shout, "Epidermis means skin!"
For the majority of us (unless we actually chose to pursue a career in the medical field) our vocabulary of medical terminology stopped growing after high school health class. I recall during the first few years after my diagnosis when I was striving to learn as much as I could about the disease. I attended countless medical updates and conferences only to come out feeling more ignorant than when I went in. It seemed like things that could have been said very simply using good old-fashioned English got twisted around with medical jargon.
But before we criticize the researchers, doctors, and medical professionals in general, we must realize that these powerful, and in many cases, brilliant people to whom we entrust our lives have spent years and years in school to learn this stuff. We really can't expect them to flip back and forth between their world and ours just like that. That's why we need to meet them halfway. It wasn't until I got a grasp of the lingo the docs were using that I started to understand what they were talking about, and in so doing, I began to take charge of my own care.
Medical Research
Biomedical research (or experimental medicine), in general simply known as medical research, is the basic research, applied research, or translational research conducted to aid and support the body of knowledge in the field of medicine. Medical research can be divided into two general categories: the evaluation of new treatments for both safety and efficacy in what are termed clinical trials, and all other research that contributes to the development of new treatments. The latter is termed preclinical research if its goal is specifically to elaborate knowledge for the development of new therapeutic strategies. A new paradigm to biomedical research is being termed translational research, which focuses on iterative feedback loops between the basic and clinical research domains to accelerate knowledge translation from the bedside to the bench, and back again.
Pre Medical Research -
Preclinical research is research in basic science, which precedes the clinical trials, and is almost purely based on theory and animal experiments.
New treatments come about as a result of other, earlier discoveries — often unconnected to each other, and in various fields. Sometimes the research is done for non-medical purposes, and only by accident contributes to the field of medicine (for example, the discovery of penicillin). Clinicians use these discoveries to create a treatment regimen, which is then tested in clinical trials.

The effects of good working practices in the bodega are actually quite difficult to quantify, and whilst we have no official accreditation, we are extremely pro-active on many different environmental fronts.
Angela is probably the most obsessive person of all when it comes to re-cycling, and so it goes without saying that we have re-cycling bins throughout the bodega, and for every type of material – wood, glass, metal, paper, plastic and organics. Bottles that we open in the cellar for tastings (or even drinking at home) are carefully washed and re-filled at bottling (although these are not re-used for customer orders). Even our cardboard cartons are re-cycled if they are not too dirty or damaged.
The bottling line is probably the greatest generator of waste materials. The packing materials from bottles, corks, capsules etc are carefully separated (mostly cardboard and plastics) and then taken to the local re-cycling centre the following day.
In order to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible, we now use different ordering patterns for our 'dry goods', which in turn reduces the number of deliveries that we require. For example, bottles are taken in full truck loads, and corks in full pallets (giving us enough materials to bottle three of our 9,000 litre tanks). As you can easily calculate, this reduces the number of deliveries to us by 66%. Cartons, capsules and labels are ordered in a similar way, yielding savings of between 50% & 66%.
After a long search to find a suitably good replacement, our new, lighter weight bottle was introduced in 2010. Despite a very similar appearance and feel to the previous model, it is, in fact, almost exactly 100g lighter. This might not sound like a great deal, but it actually equates to a saving of between 60/70kg per pallet (dependent upon the configuration). Naturally this reduction in weight not only saves fuel as our pallets are transported by road and sea, but they also require less energy to produce.
Lighting in all production areas of the bodega is controlled by sensors – if no movement is detected in a particular area after a given time, the lighting in that area will be automatically switched off.
In this humble way, we like to think that Castro Martin is making its own small contribution to help preserve the environment.

Hire a media strategist, already!
Let me say, before I go any further, that I do not subscribe to the idea that ANC=bad. I like the ANC, I like the freedom charter, I love the South African constitution and I think that what has been achieved since 1994 is so staggeringly impressive that South Africa once again doesn't fit into any of the boxes historically available. I realise this is not necessarily a popular perspective and I'm not interested in pursuing that debate right at this point.
This frustration does not relate to that. It's not frustration with poor service delivery or stupid policies. I am frustrated because the current ANC NEC are playing the political game badly. I know a lot of people would rejoice at the idea that someone involved in politics is not playing games. I think they should stop being naive. For better or worse (and probably mostly better than the alternatives) Democracy is the prevailing modern system. In order to get anything done in a democracy, you have to be in power. In order to get into power, you have to win elections. In order to win elections, you have to play the game. That is the reality. The naive day-dreaming of people who would like to see a situation where 'true leaders' ran the country without any 'sordid electioneering' is as naive as those who want a communist heaven to suddenly materialise in South Africa without losing any of the income of our very capitalist industries.
I love the game. The reason the West Wing is my favourite TV show is because I'm fascinated and exhilarated by how people win the support and votes they need to make a difference. The swing and the twists, the gentle maneuvering of public perception and the exquisite management of crises thrills me. The ANC hasn't been particularly exceptional at this in recent years, but they have had some successes. Also, they have had some pretty good speech-writers and media consultants who knew enough to seriously limit what could have been some extremely damaging situations. Had they not stirred up a hornet's next by 'recalling' Mbeki, they could probably have gotten away with that. But they did. So they are now up against people who have just as much publicity as they do and who, it appears, actually understand how this game is played.
The Lekota faction are playing it beautifully. They stand up at rallies and appeal to people who live in constant fear and feel like they are ignored and excluded from political processes and them that democracy is about them and they should have the right to choose their leaders rather than "a small group who threaten us with violence". The ANC hits back by saying that they want to discipline dissidents for criticising the ANC.
Lekota and Shilowa talk about how they believe in democracy and the ANC freedom charter and the values of our constitution. The ANC chooses this moment to tell the world that the ANC has done nothing to fight poverty in the past 13 years and they're going to fix it by setting up a ministry and removing control of finances from the finance ministry - the most successful ministry in the country - all of which runs contrary to the constitution.
The new group gets groundswells of support from unhappy ANC members across the country. The ANC publicly criticise the ANC-government-controlled public broadcaster for giving too much coverage to the break-aways.
Lekota and Shilowa easily combine the mixture of professional business-man with ordinary working person in their look. Mothlathe wears badly tailored suits and looks like a schoolboy trying out his father's outfits - or someone trying a little too hard to mimic Mbeki's suave style - while Zuma attempts to blind the public by dancing and Duarte comes across as inarticulate and conflicted.
Lekota and co. suggest a national convention where ordinary South Africans can debate what they want from the future of the country and talk about whether they want to start a new political party. The ANC says any problems with the current situation of the country must be dealt with within the ANC and not talked about with the electorate.
Lekota and co. suggest that perhaps a system of direct representation is necessary to empower the people of South Africa to hold their leaders accountable. The ANC says those who criticise are just disgruntled because they didn't win and wants radical action against those who openly criticise the status quo.
I'm not even convinced the ANC actually means or believes all the things it's saying, they're just handing the situation so bloody badly.
Last night on a TV talk show, Mo Shaik, representing the ANC, said of Shilowa "he says he voluntarily joined the ANC, so he can voluntarily resign and voluntarily start a new party. Well, he can't!". Um... what?!? That's right folks, Shaik's argument was that Shilowa had no right to leave the ANC. Shilowa, who has resigned from the ANC. Shaik was also suggesting that the move to start a new political party would result in Shilowa being disciplined under the ANC constitution. Despite the fact that Shilowa is no longer an ANC member. W.T.F.? Even Shilowa seemed a little taken aback that in to his fairly accurate analysis that some of their recent moves had been undemocratic and that he and the people who were with him felt that the current ANC executive might not be ideally placed to resolve the challenges facing South Africa was, Shaik's response from the ANC was, "you can't leave the ANC".
Shaik also said that the move to start a new party was dangerous. This after a week of those speaking on behalf of the party dismissing the Lekota group as a bunch of disgruntled wanna-bes. Although, to be fair, there have been some murmers in line with Shaiks statement. Like threats to take 'radical action' against those people who leave the party (from Zuma). I also read an infuriated piece about how 'they' will never take power because -I kid you not- the ANC is ordained by God to run the country till Christ returns and beyond (Eastern Cape ANC Youth League - it was in the paper, I swear to you!).
My point is, could somebody, anybody please take control of the ANC message, decide who is allowed to speak on behalf of the party and what they're supposed to say. And when they pick a party line can it please, please be something more intelligent than 'you're not allowed to leave the ANC'?
I suppose I'm most frustrated because the political game, the strategy, the careful and intricate work of constructing and managing the message, the beautiful play of words and emotions and policies and people, is something I love. And it's currently being disrespected by the ruling party to the extent that they're making us all look stupid. Despite the fact that we all KNOW they have enough money to hire people who can do it. I'm not sure I'd invest in a country where the ruling party can't get it together enough to pick a line and stick to it. Investors must be loving the fact that in the same week the President has said their will be no change to ecomonic policy, the alliance partners are promising wholesale overhaul of all economic policies, particularly the crucial and effective inflation targetting and the meeting of the alliance says it's greatest economic priority is poverty allieviation (growth? who needs it!).
I doubt the ANC will lose the election but I think they'll lose a few provinces and a good portion of their 2/3 majority. And when they do, it will be entirely their own fault - because they couldn't get it together enough to put out a unified message and a message that didn't sound idiotic. And because they had the audacity to assume the South African public were stupid and wouldn't notice that they were threatening things that were illegal or not possible and changing their tune three times a day.

The ANC needs more than a good media strategist to get them through the next six months. They appear to have reined in people like Malema (and I gather the ANCYL has a great new spokesperson, Floyd someone-or-other, who is handling media marvellously) - but the damage is done. The SACP and Cosatu continue to bleat, and to spout absolute nonsense. And although they are not STRICTLY the ANC, the majority of people see them ONLY as alliance partners and believe that whatever Nzimande or Vavi says is ANC gospel.ReplyDelete
If they'd appointed a good media manager (or a team thereof) a year ago, they could have been saved from taking a major beating in the 2009 elections. As it is, the ANC will lose the Western Cape, potentially lose major cities in other provinces, and will lose its 2/3rds majority. It's good for democracy, I reckon, so I'm glad they didn't pull finger and get savvy sooner.

Senators are waiting for a more complete CBO score to come in before talks continue, one of the aides said. Congressional staffers are planning to discuss the matter on Friday, while members hope to meet next week. The tentative deal, which would have to pass a Senate vote, calls for interest rates on all government Stafford loans for students to be pegged to rates on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, according to multiple sources close to the negotiations. The group will need to pass the Senate. After that, it has to clear the GOP-controlled House.

to achieve a high level of education — tied to Americans hope of gaining opportunity and success because of that degree — weighs heavy on the consciousness of the nation. But the debt that is incurred because of it is, ironically, seen as irresponsible, and in some sense, shameful. Debters are seen as bad actors in some sense just by virtue of owing money, said Jarvis And that shouldnt be the case because people have the best intentions. According to the CBO, about $1.4 trillion in new direct loans will be made to students between 2013 and 2023; student-loan debt is the only type of consumer debt that has continued to rise since the start of the financial crisis, increasing from $550 billion to nearly $1 trillion at the beginning on 2013. Helping to inflate those numbers is the staggering rise in the cost of getting a degree. Over the past decade, the rate of increase in college tuition has tripled.

Rising student loan rates endanger the poor, middle class

The student loan regime would replace a system of fixed rates, with some subsidized loans at 3.4 percent, most other undergraduate loans at 6.8 percent, and several other loans for parents and graduate students ranging upward from 7.9 percent. Chiefly, the proposals sponsors think theyve made the student loan program more accurately reflect the cost of the loans. When Congress fixes a rate, it will always be wrong, Senator King said on the Senate floor Wednesday, wrong for the students, as it is now, dramatically or wrong for the taxpayers. In addition, the compromise would cut rates for at least the next handful of years. This years rate for most undergraduate students, for example, would fall from 6.8 percent to 3.86 percent. Lawmakers in favor of the compromise point out that since even students eligible for the cheapest subsidized loans could only cover several thousand dollars of college costs with such measures, their new proposal would save students of all income levels while also cutting rates for the poorest college students.

Student loans: Bipartisan reform heads for passage after 81-18 Senate vote (+video)
"The legislation as presented to me isn't everything I want, but it's the work of a number of Democratic and Republican senators working long, long hours," said Reid, D-Nev. The deal was announced late Wednesday, and although it has lukewarm support among liberal Democrats, it is likely to pass Congress and be signed by President Obama because, without action, students will face higher interest rates on loans this school year. A senior House GOP aide said House leaders were checking with rank-and-file members Thursday to make sure the bill has support in the House, but that it was likely to pass because it is similar to House-passed legislation. A vote in the House is also likely next week, the aide said. The aide was not authorized to speak publicly because a final decision on the bill has not been made. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was optimistic.

Senate passes student loan plan
Americas incredible economic dynamism since World War II would hardly have been possible without this basic policy orientation. So why dont bullheaded members of Congress seem to understand this? For months they have faced the responsibility of setting a new formula for interest rates on federally guaranteed student loans, and have failed to act. As a result, on July 1, rates on subsidized Stafford loans doubled to 6.8 percent. Those loans are only available to students with needthat is, to students whose families cannot contribute the full cost of college and they account for a quarter of all federal student loans.

Eva Peron Honoured on Bank Note
Posted on 8/21/2012
[BUENOS AIRES, Argentina] — President Cristina Fernandez revealed the new 100-peso note Wednesday night on the eve of the 60th anniversary of the death of Evita Peron. She's the first woman to appear on any Argentine banknote.
Fernandez, whose party was inspired by Evita's husband, strongman Juan Peron, said the initial printing will be commemorative, but she said she wants all new 100-peso notes to eventually carry the former first lady's image, replacing that of Julio Argentino Roca, a 19th century president.
"After 200 years it's the first time that a woman appears on a bill, and if you have to honor the gender, who better than the figure of Eva?" she asked.
Peron was a controversial figure, but one who fought with passion for society to be more equal and just, Fernandez said.
"It's not that Eva was a saint. It's not that she didn't make mistakes ... She was a humble woman of the people," the president said. "Honoring her with this bill is a way of recovering justice."

Most dividend stocks and exchange traded funds have either kept pace with or slightly lagged behind the broader market, while enticing investors with generous yields. The iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend ETF (NYSEArca: DVY), on the other hand, has been outperforming the S&P 500.
DVY is up 15.8% year-to-date, 20.7% over the past year and an average 5.5% in the last five years. In comparison, the S&P 500 Index has gained 14.0% so far this year, 18.7% in the last year and an average 5.0% over the past five years. [Dividend ETFs for 2013]
Along with its outperformance, DVY sports a decent 3.4% 12-month yield.
The iShares Dow Jones Select ETF tries to reflect the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index, which is comprised of the highest-yielding stocks in the Dow Jones U.S. Index but have also passed a rigorous screen, including a current dividend per-share ratio greater than or equal to its five-year average, a five-year average payout ratio of 60%, dividends need to be paid each year over the past five years and an average 200,000 shares traded per day. ['Dividend Dogs' ETF Beating the S&P 500]
"To reduce the risk of dividend cuts, this fund excludes firms with current dividend/share ratios lower than their five-year average and firms that have paid out more than 60% of their earnings over the past five years," according to Morningstar analyst Michael Rawson. "Five years is roughly the length of a typical business cycle, so the fund can pile into industries and companies that have ridden high on a cyclical upswing, only to come crashing down on the downswing."
DVY comes with a "deeper contrarian tilt than many of the other dividend funds out there," Rawson added.
The fund's sector allocations make it a little more vulnerable to business cycles. Sector allocations include utilities 31.0%, consumer goods 16.7%, industrials 14.8%, financials 10.7%, basic materials 5.8%, consumer services 5.3%, oil & gas 4.9%, technology 3.2% and telecom 2.5%.

Today Reese had her six month check-up. Her growing has slowed down quite a bit...which is good because she would have been as tall as me by the time she was a year old if she kept growing at the rate she was. She has grown a quarter of an inch and gained one pound, five ounces since her four month check-up. Today she weighed 18 pound, 6 ounces and was 26 1/2 inches long. Now she is only in the 90th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height. She also got another shot today! Those are no fun but she quickly forgives the nurse and will smile at her after a minute or so. The nurses love her because she is happy and easily smiles. I am really happy with our doctors office. I don't think we could have found a better one! I guess we need to stay in this area after we sell our house so I can continue to take to see them.
Reese is also feeling better now. She has a yucky cough and runny nose still but she is much happier. Yeah!!

Love this approach – a clear focus on what's important and the opportunity for all staff to develop without losing the individuality that often makes teachers special.
Today we hosted the inaugural 'Making every lesson count conference' at Durrington. I started my presentation by outlining three things that were instrumental in the development of the book:
- A visit to my loft and a look through some of my wife's old chemistry exercise books – from 1985 when she was taught by the legendary Mr Clarke. More on this here.
- Reading the books 'An Ethic of Excellence', 'Bounce' and 'Mindset'.
- Reading the Sutton Trust paper 'What makes great teaching?'
This, alongside much between discussion between myself and Andy about the day to day practice of some of the best teachers we have worked with, resulted in the development of the six principles that are the focus of the book:
This has become our teaching and learning policy at Durrington – it seems to work for a number of reasons.

As two of my individual readings mainly concentrated on open-source, I'll try to reflect on my own ideas of it after reading some of these books. The Creative Economy by John Howkins takes a very traditional view on the creative content business with explaining different viewpoints. On open source Howkins mainly explains the basic licenses behind them and just touches the brilliant business and social models behind the whole thing.
The most interesting book of these three was Lawrence Lessig's Free Culture. It consists of many case reports about free culture, copyrights, open source and public domain. Interesting cases, some of them were already familiar to me, some of them were interesting smaller cases. All in all, the practical view and cases was just what I could think people would need to see the benefits of open source and creative commons. Also seeing that even open-source or public domain can make income to you. I must agree on Lessig on the potential of open source, but the time it takes for open source to grow will take long. As Lessig states in his conclusion:
"I've told a dark story. The truth is more mixed. A technology has given us a new freedom. Slowly, some begin to understand that this freedom need not mean anarchy.We can carry a free culture into the twenty-first century, without artists losing and without the potential of digital technology being destroyed. It will take some thought, and more importantly, it will take some will to transform the RCAs of our
day into the Causbys.
Common sense must revolt. It must act to free culture. Soon, if this potential is ever to be realized."
Creative commons seemed to be a license of choice for individual writings and open-source for small trivial software. Should I write something down every time I'm learning something? Should I publish software written for my own aid or just as an aid for learning? I can't think a reason why not. So I guess I'll license this blog under creative commons.
Back to the readings: The open life by Henrik Ingo was mainly chosen because I haven't had time to read this through before and this would force me to read it. :) The main point in this book is that it also concentrates on the social aspects of open source. It describes the actions of open source community and tells how the open source software projects are carried. Everything has a person centric start point and the results seem to be promising. The different business models in different cases are also a nice way to tell the reader that this "free open source thing" doesn't mean that you don't ever get paid for your job. The little practices for every day jobs from open source projects could benefit almost any academic worker.
Interesting readings and more thoughts on mind. Open source and creative commons feel natural choices right now. I'll guess I'll change this to Creative Commons right away.

A new feature designed to put families in the holiday spirit will open Friday at Hershey Gardens. After months of planning, the gardens have been transformed into "Santa's Secret Garden," complete with lights, crafts and Santa himself.
"Santa Claus will be here, and he will be handing out the reminder of the spirit of Christmas that kids can remember all year round why we come together at Christmas," said Barbara Whitcraft, horticulture specialist at Hershey Gardens.
Among the changes for the holiday season, the butterfly house has been transformed into "Santa's Greenhouse" to showcase winter plants. Kids will have a chance to put together arts and crafts as well as pick up some candy during their tour. Mrs. Claus is also on hand to tell stories.
The gardens will be open to the public this Friday and Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. They'll open again next Friday and Saturday at the same times. Kids three-years-old and under are admitted free. For everyone else, the price of admission is between $7 to $10. For more information click here.

Did you know that there are hundreds of volunteer opportunities that you can take while overseas? Here's some info that might be useful in helping to decide the right program for you.
If you're interested in pursuing a career in education, or just in spending time teaching abroad, then you're in luck. There are many programs overseas that allow you to teach many different subjects – whether it's English, French, art, math or music – both to kids and to adults. Whether you're interested in exploring Argentina or Australia, you'll almost certainly find an opportunity that's right for you.
Reading about the opportunities to work in saving plant and wildlife around the world made me want to sign up for one of these programs straight away! You can volunteer to save fish in the Great Barrier Reef or to help protect natural rainforests in South America.
If you're a huge animal lover (as I am) or just interested in living and working in some of the most sacred environments in the world, visit the Projects Abroad Canada website to check out some of the many programs available.
Sport is one of those things that unites people around the world, no matter which language they speak or which team they support. Volunteering your time to coach sport in another country is an amazing way to learn another language, and to contribute to the creation of a strong and vibrant community.
Who knows, you may even discover the next great soccer star while coaching a team in Ghana, or get to put together the next great Indian cricket team…
Performing arts
Fancy yourself as a bit of a drama queen? If you've been involved in performing arts all your life, you'll know what a difference it can make in fostering confidence and creativity in young people. You could lead a theatre workshop in Romania or start an orchestra in Brazil.
Immerse yourself in the artistic language of other cultures and bring joy to children and teenagers. You'll probably need prior experience in the arts, and lots of enthusiasm.
Interested in uncovering the secrets of the past? Archaeology is an incredibly fascinating field for budding historians, and volunteering on a dig abroad looks amazing on any resume. If you're willing to get your hands dirty, you could dig for medieval remains in Romania, or excavate for ancient rocks on the Inca trail, while discovering more about the people and culture of your host country.
If you already know that you want to dedicate your career to saving lives, volunteering in medicine is an incredible opportunity to get a head start on your career and make a huge difference in the lives of the needy. Whether you're an aspiring dentist or budding nurse, a gap year is a great opportunity to volunteer in your chosen field while gaining incredibly valuable experience.

When University of Miami sophomore guard MeChelle Murray got cut in the final round of tryouts for the U.S. Olympic Festival basketball teams, she wasn't disappointed for too long. After all, Festival athletes only went to Colorado. She gets to go to Belgium.
Murray, a 19-year-old Hollywood native, traveled to Brussels on Aug. 15 for a 10-day basketball tour that features under-20 players from around the United States. Murray was chosen for the program, which is sponsored by People-to-People sports, after her performance at the trials.
"They try and find the best players in the nation," Miami basketball coach Ferne Labati said. "They asked me if I had anyone, so when MeChelle did so great in the Festival trials, I thought of her."
People-to-People sports was created by then-President Dwight Eisenhower in 1956 to promote goodwill between nations through young athletes. The committee organizes several international trips a year. During Murray's trip, which was to include 10 other players, the team was to play seven games against Belgian professional teams and will also get in some days of sightseeing.
While she is excited to go abroad, Murray is more interested in seeing her threes fall than in monuments.
"I really want to get some exposure over there," Murray said. "I eventually want to play basketball in Europe, and they have scouts at the games we will play."
Murray said she also hopes to be exposed to different kinds of coaching styles. She would like a chance to improve her defense and get better accustomed to high-level competition.
With the Hurricanes, Murray averaged 4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 12.3 minutes per game her freshman season. Lebati said she expects those numbers to improve as Murray sees more playing time. Lebati has good reason to feel confident - Murray dominated at Pembroke Pines Junior High and then went on to average 16.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game at Norland High School when her family moved to Opa Locka.

Well, if money talks, then Marijuana seems to have a lot to say.
I found this article on the projected tax revenue per state by clicking my Stumbleupon button. I have read articles and reports along these lines before, but I didn't have a blog to share them on at the time. While I am definitely not American, I am pro legalization of pot in America, and if this argument is effective, then I am all for it!
