Johannesburg - The 2010 FIFA World Cup is an example of what a united South Africa could be like, President Jacob Zuma said on Wednesday."Every citizen became an ambassador of our beautiful country," he told the national social cohesion summit in Soweto.In the build-up to the event, community conversations were held to ask what it meant to be South African.Many participants identified the unity and national pride of South Africans during the World Cup as a success story."It showed us what is possible if we put our country first..." Zuma said."We need to ask ourselves whether that is the standard of South Africans that we ask, or if there is more that we should and can do to build the South African vision?"The summit is being held in Kliptown, where 3 000 delegates of all races met in 1955 to draft the Freedom Charter, which calls for a non-racial South Africa that belongs to all who live in it."As leaders we have the responsibility to bring about [the] South Africa as it was envisaged by those who met here," Zuma told the few hundred delegates. This meant building national unity out of multiple identities, he said.Decisive stepsIt would entail dealing with issues that still caused divisions, including poverty, unemployment, inequality, homelessness, and landlessness.The two-day event is hosted by the arts and culture department.Arts and Culture Minister Paul Mashatile said the summit would not be a mere talk shop."Out of it must come decisive steps," he said.These included a clear plan of action to heal the wounds of the past and strengthen social cohesion.Political parties, business leaders, and civil society and government representatives attended.Among them were National Assembly Speaker Max Sisulu, former speaker Frene Ginwala, and Zanele Mbeki, wife of former president Thabo Mbeki.The summit's theme is: "Working together to create a proud and caring society".Following Zuma's opening address, delegates were discussing the role of the judiciary, Parliament, political parties, and traditional leaders, among others, in building an inclusive society.Zuma announced the need for the social cohesion summit in May, following the controversy caused by Brett Murray's painting The Spear, which depicted Zuma with his genitals exposed, and exposed rifts in South African society.He had previously called for such a summit in 2009.
It is very difficult to have an all inclusive unifying society when there are policies in place like affirmative action and BEE that blatantly favour one group of the population. These policies have caused a greater division and even more resentment than there was pre 1994.
ZUMA, does this new society include whites, indians, coloureds, who your own party has been sidelining for the last 10 years now?
I don't think the ANC understand democracy in a rainbow nation.
Stop sidelining South Africans with racist policies like AA and BEE, then we can all feel welcome.
Kate and Tom Cruise have a higher chance of getting together than this happening...this is "Mission Impossible".
BEE leads to laziness among society and fronting from companies to comply with BEE policies, this is why we have less entrepreneurs.
Well then stop dividing society Mr ANC president.
All of the uncertainty and division in this country has been caused by the Yoof League, Cosatu, nationalisation talk, land expropriation, BEE, AA... all of which emanate from within the ANC.
Take that timber out of your eye first Zooma.
I may have believed he wanted a happy country,
people working together to make it great for all ...
Until I saw you sing ' shoot the boer' Mr Zuma
with your ANC standing firmly behind you as you sang it.
Bang Bang Bang
You are a poor ambasador for this beautiful country
The ANC has not brought peace even for it's own people
Time for you to go
I beg to differ. Get rid of the ANC misfits from Government and everything is possible for South Africa. They the ones that's going in the opposite and wrong direction with their pathetic governance. They were good for the struggle theme pre 1994,but that's where it ends sadly. Get the right people in Government and South Africa becomes a whole lot better in our modern times.
and all inclusive society that excludes whites....down with the ANC and its racist policies, DOWN!
Mr Zuma, I've heard this before and not falling for the same trick twice!! Sod off and sort out your corrupt party!!! I, for one am not interested in your cheap talk!!!
Wow it took the ANC 18 years to figure this out. This should have happened on the 28th of April 1994. If it took them this long to come to such an easy conclusion, imagine how long it will take for them to actually start taking action. I'm guessing another 50 years or so provided the country hasn't ended up like Zimbabwe by then.
this really gets me mad, its all good and well calling for a unified nation, but watch tomorrow we will hear from thee anc AND their alliance how whites control this, racist that, apartheid here and take land there.
zuma, practice what you preach!
Mr Zuma, if you want an inclusive coutry, then include the whites. Everyday we are blamed for everything, eighteen years on we are blamed for the state of schools, hospitals, corruption etc etc. You need to take a long hard look at the "ANC speak" before you issue comments such as this.
You and your incompetant, corrupt cronies are the biggest dividers in this country.
I suggest you take a look inwards first, because the biggest acts of racialism come from your mouth and those of your cronies.
You will never win the heats and minds of the white population, let alone their respect if you carry on the way you do !
From the photo - it looks like JZ is checking out his credentials.
It also looks like he and the two fellas to his right and the guy to his left are all praying.
I'm sure no-one caught the usual quiet snigger and chortle with the middle finger pushing up the 'spear like cartilage' as has become customary after every on stage "showtime" pronouncements - while some beady little slit eyes searched for any flapping skirts.
There is always more than double speak going down - especially once it gets going from the New Nat megaphone to the 14 or so officially poisoned forked and barbed blackened tongues in community radios and mpimpi and i'ndunas' murky huts.
Another fairy tale MR President?
Eish - WTF? Has the Pres. dumped his race cards along with the text books?
The world cup was a succcess story?
We have a National Roads upgrade progarm we cannot pay for and now and to toll the working class into deeper poverty , we have mega-stadiums we cannot pay for or sustain and want to turn into low cost housing..... Yes, it was a great success.
"Time to build an inclusive society" 1st intelligent thing he has said since taking office, but why then Mr President do you & your party advocate & condone hate speech, racism, & division, seems like you are saying one thing & doing another. Maybe time to put actions to your words,THE ONLY TIME SA WILL BE A SUCCESS, is when all people of SA work together for the greater good of the country, as long as we have racists, both black & white, both in politics & in business, we are going backwards. Our leaders, including you, need to stand up & speak out against racism, against, intolerance, against, hate speech!!!!!
Ordinary people are already integrating, it is politicians and criminals that keep that wedge firmly in place.
You forget the ANCYL
...and the people who keep voting for the politicians that keep the wedge firmly in place.
Charles the ancyl is a political party made up of politicians
@Themba - I can think of another word, other than politicians. hmm same thing really.
Zuma, come to Pinelands in Cape Town. It is the most integrated suburb in South Africa. You will see a DA suburb living in peace!
So in the spirit of dealing with issues that still caused divisions, including poverty, unemployment, inequality, homelessness, and landlessness, lets buy a new plane to show the rest of the World how desperately we need their funding and support...
stop saying the same things over and over and over and over prez!!!!! how many times must we hear the same message???????????????
Either Stalin or Lenin said; Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth...
ze don I think it may have been Hitler..... Be afraid...
I smell an election call here. He has said this before and then driven his spear through all hopes of a rainbow nation. Ubuntu and the Rainbow nation is a myth.
Indeed. Or in the SA context I believe we could use the word 'fable'?
I find it very strange that they are having the summit in Kliptown yet a stone throw away from Kliptown square many people are still living in shacks and don't even have decent sanitary services, I wonder did they turn their heads the other side when they drove past Kliptown's poor area....Those people has never demonstrated never blocked any roads and never burned down any councillor's house yet they are living in this condition for over a decade and what does the ANC do for them? Absolutely Nothing
Get rid of BEE,AA and quotas for a start and then you on the way of an "inclusive society".You'll never have real optimism for the country with such things still in place.
First break down the barriers.
is it just me or does zuma sound like he's been taking drugs that cause hallucinations - he sounds like he's the only dude with the surfboard at zoo lake, wondering when the waves will like hey....arrive ?
Stop talking..... start doing!!! You are the laughing stock of the world.
I think that's Malema, but ShowerHead is a close second.
Damn the Spear!
Mr Zuma ... thank you but NO THANK YOU ... I can not bring myself to your inclusive unifying society. I have standards to uphold and corruption, nepotism, bribery, steeling, killing etc etc is just not my way of life!!!!!
You forgot Rape!
His Excellency President Jaob Zuma (as named by the Black managaement Forum) talks a far better game than he plays. He must be bottom licking so he can get a new aeroplane!
Forget the Freedom Charter of 1955 and move on to the next century - 2012 is a good starting point to include all races, religions etc as in the Constitution as being equal. This includes scrapping AA and BEE which is the cornerstone of the NEW APARTHEID of the ANC
Zuma will be replaced very soon, he's trying out of despiration to curry favour with everyone ESPECIALLY the black youth by now pushing the land reform Green Bill which is NOTHING different to what Julius was crying for and what had him "fired" in the end. Only difference is, Julius used aggression, Zuma uses legislation sugar coated with shyte, in the end the same outcome,nationalisation, ALL NON blacks being forced out of this rainbow nation through legislation and taxes. In the end, even the middle income black person will suffer once the non blakcs have been "removed" as the poor far outweight the middle class and the ANC leaders are not in it for "the people" as proven DAILY..they in it for themselves, just ike every other African Country run by a "revolutionary organisation".SA is heading one way and all we need is a small spark and with Zuma calling the SWC a success just shows you, the ANC has NO regard for the citizens, they talk to us like we are idiots.Time to sell up and leave SA, while you can.
& go where Europe ?
Dear Mr Zuma, chat to your mates in the ANC and remind them that it is all about RSA FIRST, NOT ANC first then we can talk...........if only...
Agree. It can even be extended to skin colour. An inclusive society for the ruling paradigm ends at a given skin colour. And dare you to point it out, you are labelled as racist.
Something that should've been done from 1994 already.Our democracy shoold've been based on freedom charter.
You want to go from a new free constitution to an outdated charter written 50 years ago?
So stop stealing our money Mr. Prez and maybe the country will come back together. Dang...........
Get rid of racist BEE and AA then this "inclusive" society will start to cook! Otherwise the racists are out in the cold.
Vote DA.
Sorry Zuma! I do not trust people who STEALS AND RAPE!
Bru, I fell sorry for you, the pres is raping the whole of SA, including you, he's so good at it, you don't even know its happening to you...
Now we are talking!! I am all for this. If al the leaders can stand together we can build this mighty nation mightier.
This mighty nation? You need to travel more, Haiti is mightier than this lot
I refuse to lower my standards.
Dear Mr President,
While the ANC and its Associates think that the white people of this country is its enemy and the cause of all the problems in this country,you will NEVER have unity. And the sad part is, You and your Associates (oops forgot,it is the Tri Party Alliance plus Ancyl etc) are sowing more and more division every day.Your speech writers try and be occassion pleasers......tomorrow at another occassion the whites are sh*t again, depends who the audience are.
@RPhiri - You will be surprised (very pleasantly surprised) what would happen if the racist BEE and AA were dropped! There would be a very quick and very big rise in investment and that would lead to a matching rise in employment. An across the board rise in employment would reduce poverty in a short time. It would not guarantee instant richest for anybody, which is the case now with BEE. There should be checks against the old apartheid policies coming back as well as new racist tendencies. A strong Equal Opportunity" law would do the trick.
If Zuma is serious about this inclusive society he should put his money where his mouth is. He tends to say what the audience wants to hear. If all citizens are not included, as is the case now, South Africa will continue to be an international joke. I was in a taxi in Shanghai and the drive was laughing at Zuma who had been visiting China at that time. Very embarrassing!
Have you been out of South Africa lately? You would get the picture.
It would help Zuma to change his mind if you vote DA. Give him a big fright!
They only cater for their people , BEE
We will not give up on u white folks, we know not all of u r racist n roten like da once who comments on news 24...
Dream on Msholozi. We don't like each other. No wait. We don't love one another. Period. I couldn't care less. All I care is some people deserves to be put into their place.
Little too late to paint a pretty picture Zooms... Get into your new toy with 299 of your mates and test it oVer the Bermuda triangle why don't you? You have lied and cheated your OWN people, its just a pity that the majority of YOUR voters are kept in the dark and lied to about what's REALLY happening!
Liar liar rapist on fire! Give the presidency to the new police chief!! She's got brains!!
Zuma you talk but we dont understand what you actually getting at. You have proved over and over again just to say things you know people want to hear but in reality you cant or wont put it into action. You are well known for speaking with a forked tongue. If you want all south africans to be equal and live happily, stop blaming everything on apartheid and start making things work. 18 years down the line and the ANC with their greed have stuffed up. Just look at the millions or rather billions that have been stolen of taxpayers monies. Now instead of exploiting the poor that money could have been used to give a poor family a good start in life. If they want to be like the drunk man and drink the money away, thats nobody's problem but his. So this crying about and losing sleepless nights about the poor is a charade. Everybody had the same chance to make something of their lives, the minority were held back so the majority could get a foot in the door. Dont blame the minority for those who did'nt take the opportunity. Your Unions stuffed up to, and they are still keeping people unemployed. In hard times a job is a job. Time to start a fresh no more discrimination, no more laziness, no more fraud or corruption. Open up the job market, give people another chance to pick themselves up. Your own youth are saying they do believe anything you say. For once stand up and be a leader and stop the underhand nonsense, we can see through your looking glass.
nope... he said landlessness... i know exactly where this is going. go suck a duck zuma
Less yadda yadda yadda, more ching ching.. Zoomer your double standards are disgracefull, you either dont have the spine to stand firm to one decision or your just simply a gold fish shower head.
Ummm...why was it not time in 1994?

FreedomPop Also Unveils New IoT Connectivity Plans Starting at $1/Month to Connect Internet-Connected Devices
LOS ANGELES, CA – MARCH XX, 2017 – One of the world's fastest growing mobile service providers, FreedomPop, today launched the first free phone service for small businesses. FreedomPop's free plan for small businesses offers unlimited talk and text, plus 2 GB of shared data for the first two users on the plan. Businesses with more robust data needs can purchase more data starting at $10/GB.
The new plans benefit small businesses, which require basic mobile services but are forced to pay for larger, more expensive data packages with other carriers. The average small business phone service customer only uses approximately 600 MB of data each month, meaning many are significantly overpaying for standard mobile services. The major wireless carriers currently offer unlimited plans starting at $60, and these plans increase with each new phone line added. Conversely, FreedomPop's plan offers small businesses unlimited talk and text, plus 2 GB of free data for the plan's first two wireless lines.
"We've had literally thousands of small businesses reach out to FreedomPop the past couple years asking for more affordable wireless solutions," said Steven Sesar, FreedomPop's COO. "With carriers focused on increasing data allotments versus dropping price, we are happy to meet that demand starting today. Our new solution can save small businesses more than $2,000 per year."
In addition, FreedomPop is also launching the world's lowest cost Internet of Things connectivity solution for IoT players requiring cellular connectivity. IoT devices can now connect to FreedomPop's global wireless network starting at $1 per month. Comparable solutions from Verizon start at around $50 per month, plus those solutions lack the flexibility and customization afforded by FreedomPop's IoT plan.
"With all the innovation happening in the IoT space, we felt it was necessary to offer a low cost and flexible solution for connectivity to help spur new devices and innovation," said Mason Chu, Head of IoT Connectivity, FreedomPop. "Today's solutions are cumbersome and expensive which limits the ability for smaller IoT players to deliver cellular connected devices."
FreedomPop's small business phone service plans are available starting today. Visit this site for more information https://business.freedompop.com.
FreedomPop's new family plan offers unprecedented cost savings each month starting with its basic free bundle and heavier data paid plans starting at just $15
LOS ANGELES, CA – March 22, 2017 – Following the success of family mobile phone plans in the U.S. market, FreedomPop today is launching the mobile industry's first pre-paid family plan and the world's first ever free family wireless bundle. Effective today, families can stay connected for free enjoy and unlimited voice calls and texts, plus up to 1GB of free data. Families can have as 10 lines per family plan with a $5 line fee per line. They can also purchase larger data plans starting at just $15.
In addition, FreedomPop is also offering an extra bonus 50 MB of free data for each friend.
Family mobile phone plans have been a priority for the top carriers over the past two years, but carriers have increased data allotments instead of lowering the price point of the plans, making families pay for extra data they don't use or need. FreedomPop is addressing the need for more affordable family mobile plans with the new plan aimed at value conscious lower data usage families.
"For families with kids and home wifi, paying a premium for unlimited data is just a waste of money. Many families can't afford more than $150 per month for mobile phone bills, and they are forced to pay for heavier data plans they don't use," said Steven Sesar, FreedomPop's COO. "Now families can be connected for free, with no reason for any family member to be left off the grid."
Currently, similar family plans with the major carriers containing an equivalent amount of data, minutes and texts can cost $70 and upwards per month, with most carriers not currently offering an option for less than 10GB of data per month. With FreedomPop's new plan, families can save more than $1,000 each year on family mobile phone service costs alone.
Additionally, FreedomPop sells more than 200 models of refurbished and used certified phones at FreedomShop.com, which enables its customers to purchase a newer model phone at up to 80 percent off retail prices. FreedomPop phones may be used on either the AT&T or Sprint network.
FreedomPop's family mobile phone plans are available starting today at www.FreedomPop.com/family.
FreedomPop today announced the launch of its own full-featured, low-cost wifi-first smartphone for £59. The FreedomPop V7 boasts cutting-edge technology oriented to a wifi-first world, including seamless wifi-to-cellular switching and automatic wifi calling when connected to a strong network.
In addition, the FreedomPop V7 comes with a free FreedomPop SIM complete with free voice, text and data included, as well as free WhatsApp usage. Users who want more than the basic free plan can either upgrade to a paid FreedomPop plan, use a different SIM, or both, as the phone is dual SIM.
While FreedomPop has been successfully selling refurbished, low-cost devices for years, today marks the first time FreedomPop has launched its own smartphone.
"We want the entire FreedomPop experience to be simple, convenient and affordable for consumers, and that includes the device you use with your free plan," said Nicholas Constantinopoulos, FreedomPop's International President. "In order to ensure everyone can get access to wireless service, it was important we offer a high-quality, full-featured Android phone at a price anyone can afford. Starting today with the FreedomPop V7, there is no reason anyone should be without wireless service."
The FreedomPop V7 phone is available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.
The FreedomPop V7 boasts the below specs:
- 5-inch IPS screen
- 13 MP AF camera + 5 MP FF and flash LED
- Android 6.0 Marshmallow
- Dual SIM
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor
- 16GB internal memory + 32GB micro SD card supported
- Dimensions and Weight-147*72.5*8.2 mm, 146g

Company aims to help more than 100,000 Americans currently not eligible for basic free service
LOS ANGELES, CA – February 8, 2017
FreedomPop was founded on the premise that "the Internet is a right, not a privilege." Over the past 4 years it has leveraged internet technologies to enable a private sector solution to bridging the digital divide with its freemium business model offering consumers 500 MBs of free data, 200 voice minutes and 500 texts. Over 500,000 Americans currently benefit from 100% free wireless internet from FreedomPop and over 1 BILLION MBs of free data has been given to consumers. While FreedomPop has played a role in bridging the digital divide in America, there are over 100,000 Americans that have tried to subscribe to FreedomPop but who don't have an electronic payment form and can't take advantage of FreedomPop's basic free offer. In its effort to serve these unserved Americans, FreedomPop applied for, and on December 1, 2016 was granted a Lifeline Broadband Provider (LBP) designation so that it could provide eligible Lifeline subscribers with a compelling mobile broadband package with enhanced security and compression features that retail for $10.99. In addition, Lifeline subscribers would be able to purchase heavier data plans at a $10 discount to normal prices.
Over the past several months, FreedomPop invested over $1 million to develop and leverage its internet capabilities to more effectively qualify Lifeline applicants and protect the Universal Service Fund from waste, fraud and abuse with best-in-class processes. In addition, it's unique and extensive digital acquisition capabilities enable it to reach a broader set of customers who are new to the program and might not be touched by traditional offline means. With the FCC's recent order rescinding all LBP designations, FreedomPop is now looking to work together with the FCC and the states to establish a clear path forward so that it can launch its Lifeline services nationwide in the not too distant future.
"FreedomPop is committed to working together with the FCC and the states to address the challenges faced by low-income Americans on the wrong side of the digital divide, while protecting the Universal Service Fund from waste, fraud and abuse" said Eric Schimpf, FreedomPop's Head of Lifeline who joined the company just 3 months ago. "In light of recent developments at the FCC, we are re-doubling our efforts to ensure thousands of economically disadvantaged Americans that had signed up to be our first Lifeline customers are not left abandoned," said Schimpf. "We look forward to working with Chairman Pai, the FCC staff and the states to address concerns over program integrity and to ensure that the overall program objective of providing affordable access to modern communications services like mobile broadband is quickly achieved."

The US's most innovative mobile provider will team up with MVS Communications to supply free voice, text, and data services across all Mexico.
Following the success of its free mobile service in the U.S., U.K. and Spain, FreedomPop announced today its plans to launch Mexico's first 100% free mobile service in conjunction with MVS Communications, one of the most notable Mexican media conglomerates, and VARIV, a Mexican investment firm. FreedomPop will offer a base level of text, voice, and data 100% free every month, ensuring that no Mexican is left off the connected grid. In addition, all users will get unlimited use of Whatsapp.
FreedomPop has seen tremendous demand for its free service and expects to reach 1 million users within its first few years. Users will also be able to purchase additional services like data rollover, a second international number from any country, online security, micro-financing and international calling for a nominal fee. They will also get unlimited free calling to other FreedomPop users in all the countries where the company is available.
"With the Mexican mobile market dominated by a few big players, innovation has been stifled and consumers feel the pain. FreedomPop is partnering to bring unprecedented value to customers and a level of innovation that will shake up the existing market, that has more than 107 million mobile phone subscriptions, according to the Federal Telecommunications Institute," said Stephen Stokols, FreedomPop's CEO.
The joint venture between FreedomPop and MVS is the first of its kind, where its innovative "freemium" model will be able to leverage the massive local distribution, expertise, relationships and market reach that MVS brings.
"Bringing FreedomPop's disruptive model to Mexico, in a way that is synergetic to existing MVS businesses like Dish and MVS Televisión, puts us in the position to make a real impact on the Mexican mobile market and bring affordable and flexible mobile options to consumers," said Ernesto Vargas, President of MVS Telecommunications and Dish Mexico.
Diego Vargas, VARIV's co-founder added, "VARIV is excited to have partnered with Freedom Pop and MVS to launch FreedomPop Mexico to offer unprecedented free connectivity and help narrow the digital gap in Mexico. This partnership is in line with VARIV's mission to build innovative business models that generate significant improvements in our community.¨
Beta sign ups are open as of today. For more information or to sign up, visit Freedompop.com/Mexico
FreedomPop becomes first U.S. mobile provider to zero-rate WhatsApp, offering free, unlimited WhatsApp in the U.S. and more than 30 countries worldwide to unify global mobile networks into a single free access plan
Today FreedomPop became the first U.S. mobile service provider to offer a zero-rated WhatsApp SIM in the U.S., giving any mobile user unlimited free data in the U.S. and in more than 30 countries across Europe and Southeast Asia. As over-the-top (OTT) providers look to further disrupt the mobile industry, FreedomPop is leaping ahead by not only delivering a completely zero rated WhatsApp service, but also including an additional 200 MBs of free data with additional paid plans starting at under $10.
The WhatsApp SIM will come with unlimited WhatsApp usage, plus 200 MBs of additional data and 100 voice minutes, 100 percent free each month, giving Americans a simple and free way to stay in touch while they're at home or abroad, without incurring costly roaming charges. FreedomPop has unified more than 30 mobile networks worldwide to bring free global data to users, with more to come.
"There really is no reason anyone should have to pay for voice and text in today's environment. Over-the-top communication services like WhatsApp have eliminated the need for traditional voice and text services that carriers still force U.S. users to pay hundreds of dollars a year for," said Chris Chen, FreedomPop's SVP Product. "The zero-rated model is gaining traction in more developing countries, and FreedomPop is leading the way here in the U.S."
With the plan, users can simply plug a FreedomPop SIM into their Android or iOS device, and FreedomPop will cover all data used by WhatsApp as well as provide an additional 200 MBs of data and 100 voice minutes to each user, completely free every month. The FreedomPop SIM also changes the way Americans can communicate while traveling abroad, giving unlimited, free international data and texts to any U.S. mobile user across 31 countries with no additional fees, including the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Portugal and Italy, and others. The U.S. WhatsApp SIM follows FreedomPop's launch in Spain last month, where FreedomPop is also offering a zero-rated WhatsApp plan.
FreedomPop is the first zero-rated WhatsApp SIM to hit the U.S. Zero-rating has come under scrutiny since the FCC's net neutrality decision in June, but FreedomPop is setting the stage for zero-rated models that comply with the recent ruling.
The SIM is available at FreedomPop.com/WA
FreedomPop to Launch Spain's First 100 Percent Free Mobile Service via WhatsApp
Doing what Facebook's Internet.org has failed to accomplish in Europe to date, FreedomPop becomes Europe's first mobile provider to "zero-rate" WhatsApp to offer free voice, text and data for Spain
LOS ANGELES, CA and BARCELONA, Spain – APRIL 20, 2016 – Following the success of its free mobile service in the U.S. and the U.K., FreedomPop today announced its plans to launch Spain's first 100 percent free mobile service, but with a zest of local Spanish flavor. With WhatsApp accounting for more than 90 percent of texting in Spain, FreedomPop will zero-rate the app to offer free data for any Whatsapp usage, giving FreedomPop users completely free unlimited texting and calling via the app. Beginning this summer, users can simply plug a FreedomPop SIM into their device, and FreedomPop will subsidize any data used by WhatsApp.
FreedomPop will also offer standard free voice and data to users in addition to free roaming across 31 countries, including the U.S., U.K., Germany, France, Portugal and Italy, among others. FreedomPop is now accepting beta registrations on a first-come, first-serve basis at FreedomPop.com/Espana.
"With more than 70 percent of Spain's mobile consumers using WhatsApp, it has completely cannibalized traditional mobile services in Spain and shaped a unique opportunity for companies looking to embrace the new OTT world we live in," said Steven Sesar, FreedomPop COO and co-founder. "We're creating a new mobile business model by leveraging WhatsApp's success to ensure anyone can communicate 100 percent free, simply by covering the data bill for WhatsApp."
FreedomPop has seen tremendous demand for its free service in the U.K., with plans to have more than 100,000 users on its U.K. service in less than twelve months since its launch. Utilizing WhatsApp, FreedomPop expects larger traction in Spain, targeting 500,000 to 1 million Spanish users within two years. More than 50 percent of U.K. users do not pay FreedomPop a penny each month, with the heavier users paying a fraction of what competitive plans cost. Users will also be able to purchase additional services like data rollover, a second international number from any country, online security and international calling for a nominal fee.
"Since we announced our intention to expand to Europe a year ago, we have received tens of thousands of requests from Spanish citizens to bring our service to Spain. Today we are happy to bring those users Spain's first real free option," added Steven Sesar.
FreedomPop plans to continue its international expansion by launching in additional countries by the end of the year, either by partnering with existing mobile carriers or disrupting entirely new markets via unique models.

The International HIV Controllers Study is a consortium built with the collaborative effort of scientists, healthcare professionals, and the community to study HIV infected people who have been able to maintain low viral loads without the use of medications, namely HIV controllers. It encompasses several clinical studies designed to enhance the understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying HIV control.
This consortium was originally established with the goal of doing population based genetics, immunologic, and virologic studies in spontaneous HIV controllers, it brings together HIV researchers from around the world and promotes increased dialogue and collaboration about this remarkable group of individuals who may hold the key to new approaches to therapy and vaccines.
An overarching goal of conducting research in this rare population is to understand the mechanisms that lead to HIV suppression. These knowledge has the potential to accelerate the design of preventive or therapeutic vaccines that could enable all infected individuals to better control viral replication, improve their disease outcome, and decrease HIV transmission.

Student Fees
Following are estimated costs for the 2016-2017 academic school year (Fall and Spring semesters) at Auburn University for tuition, books and supplies. Costs may vary depending on individual conditions. For a more in depth look at expenses at Auburn, go to the Auburn Bulletin.
Undergraduate Tuition
|School of Nursing Tuition and Fees (Alabama Residents)
|School of Nursing Tuition and Fees (Out of State Residents)
Graduate Tuition
|School of Nursing Tuition and Fees (per credit hour)
Allocation of Fees
The amount that students pay in tuition and required fees represents a sizeable and important investment in their future. However, student payments alone do not cover the full cost of providing any of Auburn's educational programs. Even after state appropriations are included, some programs require funding through additional fees in order to provide the high-quality learning environment that students expect. Like the basic tuition and fees, these additional amounts help to cover not only the direct costs of providing instruction and advising in these programs but also indirect costs associated with Auburn's role as a comprehensive center of higher education for the state.
For further information on allocation of fees, contact email@example.com
Tuition and Fees are subject to change by the Board of Trustees at the beginning of any term.

Famous rockers play for protesters at rally
By Patrick Tricker
Adam Wollner
Updated: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 03:02
Standing in front of American and Wisconsin flags, former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello played to an audience of 4,000 Monday at Monona Terrace at a performance set up by AFSCME to oppose the budget repair bill.
"Whenever there's an economic hardship, [Republicans] take advantage of that to ram through some legislation that's going to roll back decades, if not a century, of social progress," Morello said. "But they miscalculated. They miscalculated because they tried to begin doing that in Wisconsin."
Earlier in the day, Morello held a rally with Rise Against guitarist Tim McIlrath at the steps of the Capitol with thousands of protesters, despite poor weather conditions.
"The backbone of your state senators, who headed to my sweet home state of Illinois, changed my mind about [Democrats]," Morello said. "I'm like, at last somebody's got a spine, man, come on. They can stay as long as they want. Illinois is nice, man."
Morello also read an e-mail that he received from one of the principal organizers of the protests in Cairo. The letter expressed support for the Wisconsin protesters and advocated for solidarity: "Breathe deeply, Wisconsin, because justice is in the air."
"No matter what Gov. Walker, the Mumbarak of the Midwest, says, this land is your land," Morello said before singing a rendition of "This Land is Your Land" with McIlrath and other musicians. "Never give up and never give in!"

Correct. I was not listening to that *new music* in the 90's. Basically because I didn't consider it "music".
Neither was/is: 'grunge', 'new wave', 'heavy metal', or any of that other crap, "music".
It's mule-sick, not music.

What, they couldn't get Joan Baez or Peter, Paul and Mary?
(Yes, I know Mary passed away, but still...)
Sorry, but we have enough pathetic loser pols stinking up our state with their cowardice and arrogance. I want them back in Madison ASAP so we can fumigate Northwest Illinois.
And your parents were saying the same thing about Clapton et al. Just because you don't like where music has gone doesn't make it bad.
I think that 'stuff' would make 'mules sick'.
As to your pal and his 'little ditty' I wish him luck -- back in the good old days of rock, most now classic rock songs are nothing but 'little ditties' written to three chords. Mostly in the I, IV, V Chord Progression (or a variation thereof).
But I don't even know if 'Rock' exists any longer. The closest shown on TV or played the radio (I can find anyway) now is 'modern' Country music - or 'Tex-Mex' like from The Mavericks, but they broke up, dang. So now I stick to Blues and 'Classic rock' (really love the Blues)
Rock was always criticized back then by 'experts' for being 'simplistic'. While true in most cases, it wasn't for the likes of Chuck Berry. That man can (could) play Chords and Riffs you need fingers 7" long to play :-) Ditto for some of the Beatles later work - George Harrison was greatly under appreciated as a guitarist. And so is Keith Richards.(1)
(1) Thanks to his drug use that's all anyone thinks of when 'Keith Richards' is mentioned. But, that's all on him.
We wouldn't want to "let a crisis go to waste", would we?
LOL....and now it looks like you may getting fugitives from Indiana too....
*If you haven't heard of Rage Against the Machine than you were not listening to new music in the 90s. All 4 of their studio albums went platinum. *
A lot of garbage music sold a lot of copies in the 90s. Morello cannot write melodies, which is why no one remembers his music.
And if he thinks he's going to win over the mushy middle of Wisconsinites by praising Illinois, he's mistaken. Most Wisconsinites detest Illinois and its denizens, who travel north to speed up and down the WI highways like maniacs on their way to their "summer retreats". There's a reason why they're called FIBs, comrade.
Plus Rage sold out to become Democrat Party bootlickers when the Democrats took over "The machine"
Oh, bother!
Bullshit. If your tunes can't be whistled, they'll never stick in the memory of mankind. There have been a lot of bands like that in recent memory. The Red Hot Chili Peppers also come to mind. Both have numbing repetitive melody-free bass heavy sludge as their foundation.
The only thing I remember RATM for is:
a) the only people I knew that liked them were hippie poseur self-hating white kids with Che t-shirts, cocaine addicts and drug dealers who lived with snakes.
b) their idiot lead singer is a racist piece of crap with an awful voice.
I'm confused. Isn't the "machine" the left wing Dem mafia that steals our tax money to buy off their unions so they can elect more Dem mafia types to steal even more?
So I too Rage Against The Machine of left wing political hacks that STEAL our money via taxes to DO NOTHING!
Typical idiot rich left wing idiot that should have gotten spanked more by his probably wealthy upper class family when he whined about not getting cookies for dinner.
I've never heard anyone whistling Mozart but he seems to have "stuck" in the memory of mankind fairly well.
And for my money, the most overrated musician of all time. If you've heard one Springsteen tune, you really have heard them all.

Samsung 12-24mm f/4-5.6 Reviewed
I have my review up for the Samsung 12-24mm f/4-5.6 lens. I really like the lens. Basically to recap it is sharp in the center at all zoom levels and apertures, good on the edges at all zoom levels and apertures, basically the same as the 16mm f/2.4 over shared aperture range.
I am definitely keeping this lens for my collection, but might be tempting to keep the 16mm for its small size as well. I find the focal range much more useful than a 10-18mm or so as it is actually nice to be able to go to 24mm much of the time. The problem with the 8-16mm or 10-18mm is even the tighter field of view end is very wide. Obviously going to 8 or 10mm can be nice too, but I find 12-24mm to fill the sweet spot pretty well.
My advice for either the 16mm or 12-24mm is focus near the edges for landscapes, this will give you a flatter overall sharpness profile. Focusing at the center might cause softer edges.
And comparisons against the 16mm (I try to avoid these, but here it is anyway):
I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object
be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it
beautiful. - John Constable (quote)

In our home there is one Christmas tradition which is unfailing...procrastination.
If there is something we could have done/purchased weeks ago, months ago...we will wait until 1 hour before the only place in town that has that particular item or service closes on Christmas eve to try to get it in under the wire.
That is the case today. I am currently waiting for a critical element of a "Christmas Project" to be completed so that I can go and try to convince some folks to help me slap it together on Christmas eve, right about the time they should be getting off work.
I have faith.
But I'm losing my mind.
All I want for Christmas is a second chance at sanity...
Merry Christmas!!

I am looking for any information on my grandfather Michael McGee who was born 1881-85 approx.I thought he was born in northumberland uk but can find no records so it could have been Ireland or Scotland, He married Margaret Livingstone who I believe was scottish, they had four children, Michael Mcgee, cornelius mcgee, (my father) born 1908, william born ? and John,(1923) I know he remarried in 1930 to Mary Charlotte Mcdonald so maybe Margaret Livingstone died sometime between 1923 and 1930 any information and help would be much appreciated as I seem to come up with blanks at every turn.

text: hey guys. i am supposed to be doing a job for this guy. the job is 75,000 dollars if not more. i get 1/3 down up front. however i went to his house tonight to go look at the job with him and he wasnt home even though his truck was in the garage. you look in the house, the outside of the house, and you wonder where he is gonna be able to pull 75,000 + from. i tried calling the number supplied to me (home number) and got one of those number is temporarily out of service deals. the guy gave me his cell number cause he had mentioned about the home number. but i am just wondering if i should maybe do a credit check on him just to make sure i dont get burned. do any of you guys do that on big jobs to make sure you get paid? the guy is a builder by the way. i work for another builder who does a lot of work and is well known through the area. i asked this guy if he had ever heard of my present customer and he said no. so i am kind of worried here. first time i worked for this guy he paid no problem. but what do you guys do with big jobs? i am really thinking credit check. and then how do i do that?

Ohio City
If anyone wants proof that Cleveland needs a bicycle-share network,
Platform Beer Co.
co-owner Justin Carson has an anecdote for you.
Carson, sponsor of a recently launched bike-sharing program that offers rental bikes at
six self-serve locations
in Ohio City, saw a man outside his Lorain Avenue brewery eyeing the lineup of bicycles locked to the station there. The man only spoke Spanish, so Carson grabbed a bilingual co-worker who took the fellow through the easy process of renting a bike through a mobile app provided by the system. Moments later the man was pedaling down the block on his lightweight
There have been dozens of stories like this since the privately-financed program launched in September. Commuters and visitors are using the system's 34 bikes at a clip of 17 rides a day, hopping from point to point along the bike-share route or just touring the city by two-wheeled means instead of four. The ease of renting and locking bikes at multiple stations around town means less traffic congestion and no more hunting for parking spaces, a pedestrian-friendly lifestyle that bike-share advocates believe can rise along with the system itself.
While Ohio City is currently the epicenter for bike share, Carson and other proponents of the nascent venture are confident the Spanish-speaking man's story will be replicated numerous times as additional stations are erected. With backing coming from a growing group of local business and civic entities, the city's bike-share revolution has only just begun, they believe.
In high gear
Three more stations provided by
, a bike-sharing company based in Cambridge, Mass., will be rolled out before the end of October. They will be located at
, a Tremont coffee shop,
Barley House Cleveland
in the Warehouse District, and outside the Courtyard Marriot in University Circle.
Zagster bike rental
The trio of new stations totaling 18 bikes will lead into a winter of meetings with corporations and businesses interested in putting Zagster systems on their property, says Carson. Little Italy, Detroit Shoreway and East 4th Street are just a handful of 'hoods that may be adding 50 to 75 bike-share racks containing 200 bikes by next spring. Organizers have also discussed bike share with officials from Cleveland State University and Case Western Reserve University.
The individual owners and public institutions involved are paying for and sponsoring the stations at a cost of $7,200 each, says Carson. The inexpensive nature of the Zagster stations, compared to the pricey touchscreens and sometimes clunky docking stations of bike-share systems found in cities like New York and Boston, make installation fast and simple. If someone wants a Zagster rack in front of their business, all it takes is a real estate contract and insurance policy handled directly through the company. The entire process, from deciding you want a station to making it a reality, takes about two weeks.
"The sky's basically the limit as to where we can put these stations," Carson says. "We want to have them where people will be able to use them."
Both Zagster and local proponents are pleased by the usage numbers the system has tallied thus far, even if it's understood that a larger network of stations will be needed to make the enterprise viable.
The 17 daily rides will only increase as more stations pop up, says John Williams, president of Zagster's public relations firm. For now, Williams is impressed by the enthusiasm that has accompanied the project's kickoff.
"I think everyone involved would agree it's been a success," he says. "The fact that they're adding bikes is both representative of that success, as well as a way to better plan for future growth."
The wheel deal
Cleveland's private bike-share effort is the only one of its kind in the U.S., says supporter Sam McNulty, owner of
Market Garden Brewery
and a handful of other bars in Ohio City. McNulty is among a half dozen Cleveland proprietors and area leaders to pitch in money for the project. The venture's other partners are Carson of Platform Beer Co., Tom McNair, interim executive director of
Ohio City Inc
., Graham Veysey and Marika Shioiri-Clark of the
Hingetown area of Ohio City
, Brian Zimmerman, chief executive of Cleveland Metroparks, Daniel Brennan of Skylight Financial, and Rafid Fadul, a Cleveland Clinic doctor and property manager.

Bike share's early days have brought nothing but positive feedback, McNulty says. He recently met a posse of German twenty- and thirty-somethings in town on business searching for a fast and easy way to get around the city. The group grabbed nine bikes from a nearby station, riding to all points on the Zagster line on a sightseeing tour.
"Europe is much more bike-friendly than the U.S.," says McNulty. "(Bike share) allowed them to see a great and welcoming aspect of Cleveland."
While Cleveland has
vowed to add 70 miles of bikeways
by 2017, the city has lagged behind peer regions like Memphis and
in making significant improvements to its biking infrastructure, McNulty maintains. With Carson as a driving force, Cleveland's private sector stepped in, pooling its funds to implement Zagster stations that allow commuters to rent a bike for $3 an hour with a maximum charge of $24 for 24 hours.
The model relies on light-framed bikes users can access for short trips via the Zagster Mobile App, available for iPhone and Android. A number on the bike is texted to Zagster, which supplies a code that disengages a lockbox. Once the bike is returned to a Zagster location, riders can text the word "end" to ready the bike for the next user.
Revenue from rentals will be reinvested into buying and installing more bike-share stations, says Carson. Each bike carries a logo of the various business owners involved.
"I look at it as advertising and marketing (for Platform Beer Co.), but any money we make will go back into bike share at the end of the year," Carson says.
Ohio City already thrives on a community sprit of collaboration, says McNulty, which makes the district an ideal center-point for an enterprise that increases non-auto transit while acting as a beacon for young professionals searching for a forward-thinking place to live.
"Do the right thing for citizens and the money will follow," McNulty says. "People are going to be excited to be shoulder to shoulder with other cities."
A far reaching network
Other areas of the country use Zagster for business-to-business use, but Cleveland would be the first to install the system city-wide should expansion reach that far, says Jacob VanSickle, director of biking advocate group
Bike Cleveland
Employees of Dan Gilbert's Rock Ventures/Quicken Loans firms in downtown Detroit are offered Zagster bikes at no cost. For Cleveland's civilian population, VanSickle would like to see a widely-dispersed web of stations, a possibility considering how quickly and cheaply the current smart-bike model can be set up, he says.
A Bike Share Task Force comprised of Cleveland's office of sustainability, Bike Cleveland and a dozen other agencies and neighborhood groups has its sights set on building up a network that would be accessible to a broad cross-section of people living in and visiting the city, VanSickle notes.
A preliminary
bike-share feasibility analysis
conducted for the sustainability office reported Cleveland could support a system of 77 to 140 stations in five communities, with core hubs downtown and University Circle and an eventual outreach into Midtown, Ohio City and Tremont. Details on cost and ownership of stations must still be determined, though the study points to U.S. bike-share models offering memberships of one day ($5 to $10) up to one year ($50 to $100).
Zagster's Ohio City location
The taskforce, a separate entity from the existing group of private bike-share station owners, will evaluate the in-place Zagster network to determine if it could apply on a larger scale. Bike Cleveland is also in the midst of hiring a bike-share manager to organize the endeavor.
"Our goal for now is to evaluate and get real data on the ground to see how well the system's working," VanSickle says.
Meanwhile, energy from last month's Zagster unveiling has spun out across the Near West Side. On Oct. 10,
Ohio City Incorporated
announced a partnership with the
Detroit Shoreway Community Development Organization
Tremont West Development Corporation
and Bike Cleveland to raise funding for Zagster bike stations in these areas.
Through the online fundraising site
, the neighborhood groups have set a goal of $25,000 to bring one station to each of the districts. Funding for the undertaking will be accepted through Nov. 7.
"Bike share is a great step for Cleveland," says McNair of Ohio City Inc. "Businesses all over the city have shown interest."
Tremont West program manager Lindsay Smetana, an avid cyclist herself, views Zagster as a unique way to grow Cleveland's bike culture, especially in a neighborhood like Tremont not exactly known for its access to buses.
"Tremont is always looking for alternative forms of transportation," Smetana says. "Bike share is a great idea, but it will only work in a strong network with a large scope."
Shared world
On a recent trip to Indianapolis with a coalition of Cleveland officials, Carson traversed the
Indianapolis Cultural Trail
, an eight-mile urban bike and pedestrian path downtown. The trail, a collaboration from the city and a handful of not-for-profit groups, features 250 rentable bikes at 25 stations.
Cleveland doesn't have anything that elaborate yet. Chris Ronayne, president of
University Circle, Inc
., simply wants more bike-share stations for his neighborhood, whether produced by the city or private enterprise. The burgeoning district is already adding bike racks outside of the forthcoming Happy Dog at Euclid and elsewhere, he notes, meaning extra transportation choices would be more than welcome.
"We're bullish about biking," Ronayne says. "My hope is we can accommodate all comers."
Private proponent Carson expects to communicate with the Bike Share Taskforce this winter, envisioning an association across all sectors of private and public advocacy to put out more stations once the weather warms.
"Everyone understands the value of having this type of low-cost option," says Carson.
McNulty of Market Garden is happily looking ahead to bike share getting spread to all points of Cleveland's compass.
"Anyone that wants in, we'll tell them the door's open," he says. "The more, the merrier."

Ocean Explorer – designed by Perttu Korhonen and Michael Storer – Duckworksmagazine.com, where you can buy the plans!
Introduction by Perttu Korhonen:
I like exploring new lakes. I built an OzRacer by Michael Storer and liked its performance and handling. With it I made one overnight trip and that convinced me, that the PDRacer/OzRacer is quite capable for trips like that. During last winter I started to sketch a cruiser version of the OzRacer. I chose that boat because it is light and has good performance. My design uses Michael Storer´s Oz Racers sails, spars and foils – and she can fly!
This summer I made a three day trip with the boat and I found it to be a fun design. I was sleeping inside the cabin and sailing every day like a real sailor! The off center hatch could looks odd, but it´s handy when moving inside the cabin. You can slide your legs under cockpit seats while you are standing on the cabin floor. The boat is meant to be sailed with the hatch shut. If she is capsized, you should have enough time to turn the boat upright again before cabin fills with water, but Pdracers aren´t too easy to capsize!
It proved itself as a such a good working concept that I ended up making plans for it. I have made bigger boats, but small boats have the advantage of being faster to build and maintain in sailing condition. The more timeyou spend building the boat, the more you worry about it when sailing. If the boat is quickly buillt, you can use it harder and build another with less time compared with building one bigger boat.
The plans for Ocean Explorer contain around 95 pages of drawings, photos and text including a plan for the homemade lugsail – the plan is available as a PDF download which you can print on your home computer.

Activity Centres
From the PlayCentre 1 to the Hexersize Tower, our Activity Centre range is suited to users of all ages - from young children to adults, as they combine - the imaginative fun of playhouses - physical activities such as slides, ramps, and scramble nets - with upper-body strength challenges like overhead ladder bars, russian rings, gym rings, etc.
This makes the Activity Centre range ideal for those play areas in schools or parks where there is only a small - medium amount of space available.
Most of the units in this range available with 600mm; 1m; or 1.2m height platforms - these options allow the unit to be installed onto a suitable grass surface without the need for addtional safer surfacing. Some are also available with a 1.5m - 2m platform with additional safer surfacing.
Please note that where slides are fitted, our large fibreglass Bumpy slide can be fitted onto these items - if the platform height is over 1.2m. Note that stainless steel slides are also available for these units (additional cost may apply).
Additional features can be added to the items within this range, including ramps, interactive game panels, nets, additional slides, almost anything (within reason!).
Most of these products can also be adapted for users with special needs.
Most of these units can be manufactured from either timber or recycled plastic.
Some of these products can be adapted for a younger age group, such as nursery or primary age children, with lower platform heights, easier access if required, brightly coloured interactive panels and play tunnels.

Celebrity Masterchef star Mundy was singing the blues tonight as he was the latest contestant to be booted off the TV3 show.
The Galway Girl singer was eliminated from the show after a "stressful" task saw him let his nerves get the better of him.
Earlier in the episode viewers saw the celebs face the heat of a professional kitchen and the cracks started to show for the Offaly native.
Mundy, 41, who was on fish duty at The Woolen Mills, said: "I'm actually having a bit of an anxiety vibe at the moment but I don't want to panic on the TV."
The celeb cooks - Mundy, Samantha Mumba, Simon Delaney, Niamh Kavanagh, Oisín McConville and Colm O'Gorman - were later given a masterclass by Masterchef judge Robin Gill who demonstrated his black grouse stuffed with heather and hay, served with ducks hearts, roscoff onions and corn salsa from start to finish.
They were then given two hours to recreate the tricky dish.
Unfortunately for the July hitmaker, real name Edmond Enright, things started out bad as he burnt various elements of the dish which left him lagging behind.
When time was up and they were asked to walk away from their dishes, he said: "I'll f***ing walk away alright."
Critiquing Mundy's attempt, Robin said, "You're such a talented cook, you cook from the heart and I had really high hopes for you on this but simply by falling a little bit behind, getting a little bit frazzled, you can taste it in the dish."
Both Robin and fellow judge Daniel Clifford were left bitterly disappointed with "free spirit" Mundy and he was forced to hang up his apron.
Speaking on his elimination Mundy, who is currently touring in New Zealand, said: "It's been an amazing experience. Getting this far is more than what I thought really, I'll still love cooking without a doubt.
"I'm just going to stick to the music. If someone wants my taco recipe, I'll sell it to them."

Old boards are being covered with new ones.
Portions of the deck in front of the atrium are seriously decaying and, therefore, the whole deck is being topped up with new hardwood before someone falls through and breaks an ankle.
However to fit the first row snugly into the atrium wall, it was necessary to remove a board from each of the vertical sections between the door and the windows to either side of it.
And what an interesting surprise when, after taking off one of the boards, a tiny nest of fresh eucalypt leaves were found. Who lives here?
A pigmy possum, that's who.
And think of this. The oil of the eucalypt leaves acts as a natural deterrent for mites and ticks. How smart is this?
I sleep easier at night now, knowing there is a guardian out the front door.
PS. Steve and I made sure the entrance to the pig possum's home was kept clear.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch - 12-7-95
Remember when singers really knew how to sing? Rosemary Clooney never forgot. An astounding 50 years into her career, she retains the sublime jazz phrasing that has made her one of popular music's most graceful interpreters.
Clooney's musical story began in 1945, when she sang in a duo with her late sister Betty. Clooney's solo career began in the late '40s when she signed to Columbia. By the early '50s, she was making her national name with such novelty hits as "Come On-A My House" and "Botch-A-Me." Despite the monster appeal of those tunes, she continued to focus on more serious pop and jazz material.
Her vocal style epitomizes grace and ease, but Clooney's life has not been without trauma. She battled a dependence on pills and alcohol. An infamous on-stage breakdown during a 1968 appearance in Reno landed Clooney in a psychiatric ward.
But Clooney battled her way back from personal tragedy and career death. It's the sort of gutsy comeback story lots of contemporary artists would do well to consider.
These days, it's hard to read about Clooney without also reading about her familial connections to younger celebrities. Her nephew, George Clooney, is currently one of the leading resident hunks of the television series "ER." Clooney's daughter-in-law, Debby Boone, is best remembered for the treacly 1977 hit "You Light Up My Life." (And Debby Boone herself brings her own strangely twisted branch to the family tree, going back to her white-bucks wearing dad, pop crooner Pat Boone, and her maternal grandfather, Grand Ole Opry regular Red Foley.)
Clooney continues to record for the highly respected Concord Jazz label.
While the kitschy cocktail-nation bands have lionized bandleader and space-age bachelor pad king Esquivel (who, when it comes right down to it, is really pretty awful), they often lack a serious appreciation for far more substantive artists. And Rosemary Clooney has always been about substance.
