DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania After receiving the most enthusiastic welcome of his weeklong trip to Africa, President Barack Obama on Monday called for a new partnership with the continent, one that would help sustain its recent run of tremendous economic growth while broadening the rewards to as many people as possible.
"We are looking at a new model that's based not just on aid and assistance but trade and partnership," he said. "Ultimately the goal here is for Africa to build Africa for Africans. Our job is to be a partner in that process."
Obama, who arrived in Tanzania on Monday to cheering throngs larger and louder than those he saw on his first two stops, Senegal and South Africa, acknowledged how drastically the continent had changed since his visit to Ghana four years ago. Then pictured as a desperate charity case, Africa is now seen more and more as a booming young market for the future.
"This is my final leg of my visit to Africa," Obama said at an event with business leaders. "At every stop one of my main messages has been that, even as this continent faces great challenges, this is also a moment of great promise for Africa."
Speaking to some 150 business leaders from the United States and Africa in Dar es Salaam on Monday night, Obama said that Penny Pritzker, his new commerce secretary, would lead what he called a "major trade initiative" to Africa in her first year.
Obama has unveiled an ambitious program to double access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa, investing $7 billion in financial support for an initiative called "Power Africa." Tanzania is one of the initial six participating countries, where the government hopes to add 10,000 megawatts of generation capacity and reach 20 million households that lack electricity.
"We can't have a seven-year time frame for building a power plant," Obama said. "We have to move. Things have to go faster."
About two-thirds of Africans are without regular access to electrical power.

Researchers have pinpointed a new mechanism of how natural variation in our DNA alters an individual's risk for developing heart disease by interfering with the ability of a developmental gene to interact with a specialized type of RNA.
Genome ID Group, LLC, d/b/a, The Center for Advanced Forensic DNA Analysis TM (CAFDA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Sandra L. Close (Kirkwood) PhD.
An international team of scientists has uncovered more than 40 new genes, pathways and cell types linked to an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis, according to research published Wednesday in the online edition of the journal Nature.
A new study reveals that the genetic trait responsible for predisposing some people to strong stress reactions may also cause the risk of heart attack or death to rise by 38 percent.
Coding variants in immune disease-related genes play only a small part in the overall genetic risk for psoriasis.

Floodwaters have triggered more than 3000 landslides across the Balkans, laying waste to entire towns and villages and disturbing land mines leftover from the region's 1990s war, along with warning signs that marked the unexploded weapons.
The Balkans' worst flooding since record keeping began forced tens of thousands of people from their homes and threatened to inundate Serbia's main power plant, which supplies electricity to a third of the country and most of the capital, Belgrade.
Authorities organised a frenzied helicopter airlift to get terrified families to safety before the water swallowed up their homes. Many were plucked from rooftops.
Floodwaters receded on Sunday in some locations, laying bare the full scale of the damage. Elsewhere, emergency management officials warned that the water would keep rising into Sunday night.
"The situation is catastrophic," said Bosnia's refugee minister, Adil Osmanovic.
Three months' worth of rain fell on the region in three days, producing the worst floods since rainfall measurements began 120 years ago. At least two dozen people have died, with more casualties expected.
The rain caused an estimated 2100 landslides that covered roads, homes and whole villages throughout hilly Bosnia. Another 1000 landslides were reported in neighbouring Serbia.
The cities of Orasje and Brcko in northeast Bosnia, where the Sava River forms the natural border with Croatia, were in danger of being overwhelmed. Officials in Brcko ordered six villages to be evacuated.
Rescuers urged people to go to the balconies or rooftops of their houses with bright fabric to make themselves visible.
Brcko Mayor Anto Domic said that unless the Bosnian Army is able to reinforce from the air, the city will be flooded completely. He called for the Defence Ministry to use helicopters to lower steel barriers that could be backed by sandbags to contain the water.
"It is a very demanding task," he said, acknowledging that officials would have no other way to protect the port city of more than 70,000.
Civil protection commander Fahrudin Solak said the Sava River was spilling over another portion of the flood barrier in Orasje while emergency workers tried desperately to reinforce it with sandbags.
In Serbia, where floods have inundated towns and villages, authorities braced for high water that could last for several more days.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Sunday (local time) that 12 bodies have been found so far in Obrenovac, site of the coal-fired Nikola Tesla power plant, Serbia's biggest.
Parts of the plant and a nearby mine that provides its fuel were underwater.
Serbia's state power company, EPS, said crews were doing all they could to prevent any further damage to the plant. Damage to the mine alone is estimated at more than 100 million euros (NZ$158 million).
Serbia's energy minister, Aleksandar Antic, appealed to people to conserve power, calling the threat to the plant "very serious".
The floods and landslides raised fears about the estimated 1 million land mines planted during Bosnia's 1992-95 war. Nearly 120,000 of the unexploded devices remain in more than 9400 carefully marked minefields. But the weather toppled warning signs and, in many cases, dislodged the mines themselves.
Beyond the immediate danger to Bosnians, any loose mines could also create an international problem if floodwaters carry the explosives downstream. Experts warned that mines could travel through half of southeast Europe or get stuck in the turbines of a hydroelectric dam.
From the air, the northeastern third of Bosnia resembled a huge muddy lake, with houses, roads and rail lines submerged. Officials say about a million people - more than a quarter of the country's population - live in the worst-affected areas.
The hillside village of Horozovina, close to the northeastern town of Tuzla, was practically split in two by a landslide that swallowed eight houses. More than 100 other houses were under threat from the restless earth. Residents told stories of narrow escapes from injury or death.
"I am homeless. I have nothing left, not even a toothpick," Mesan Ikanovic said. "I ran out of the house barefoot, carrying children in my arms."
Ikanovic said 10 minutes separated him and his family from likely death. He carried his 7-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son to safety.
He said he had secured a mortgage and moved in only last year. "Now I have nothing," he said. "Where will I go now? Where will we live?"
Semid Ivilic's house in the lower part of the village was still standing. But looking up at the mass of earth and rubble that engulfed his neighbours' homes, he said he was worried.
"Nobody is coming to help us," he said.
The final person to evacuate a village near Brcko said he had lost everything he valued.
"I was the last one to leave," said 72-year-old Anto Zuparic. "I left everything behind, my cattle and everything else. I do not know what to do. I am glad I won't live much longer anyway."
More than 10,000 people have already been rescued from the town of Bijeljina in northeast Bosnia. Trucks, buses and private cars were heading north with volunteers and tons of aid collected by people in cities outside the disaster zone.
The Bosnian Army said it had 1500 troops helping on the ground. But many bridges have been washed away, leaving communities dependent on airlifts.
Helicopters from the European Union, Slovenia and Croatia were also aiding rescue efforts.
Large parts of eastern Croatia were underwater too, with several villages cut off and hundreds still fleeing the flooded zone in boats and trucks. Refugees were being housed in sports halls and schools, and aid centers were set up to distribute medicine, food, blankets and clothing.
In Serbia, more than 20,000 people have been forced from their homes.

Hall, Doucet return while offensive linemen debut on Big Board
Coming off a record-setting performance against Tennessee in which he had 13 receptions, Alabama's DJ Hall makes a return to the Big Board. Also, after missing five games with an injury, LSU's Early Doucet returns following a strong performance against Auburn.
Originally Published: October 24, 2007
Mel Kiper Jr. | ESPN.com
While the top 10 on my latest Big Board stayed relatively the same, there are four newcomers this week -- two wide receivers and two offensive linemen.
Debuting for the first time on the board are Pittsburgh offensive tackle Jeff Otah and Texas A&M center Cody Wallace. Otah is a space eater (6-foot-5, 339), but is extremely athletic. He only played one year of high school football, so Otah is a developing talent. However, he's extremely athletic -- Otah played basketball and football in junior college -- and will surely excite offensive line coaches in the NFL.
[+] Enlarge
Charles LeClaire/Getty ImagesDespite his relative inexperience and size (6-5, 339), Otah is extremely light on his feet.
Texas A&M center Cody Wallace also debuts this week. He's athletic, durable, tough and smart, and has shown the ability to handle quick and explosive defensive tackles after the snap.
SEC wide receivers DJ Hall and Early Doucet return to the Big Board this week. Hall hauled in 13 receptions and had two scores against Tennesse while Doucet returned after missing five games and caught seven balls for 93 yards against Auburn.

My life in travel: Olga Kurylenko
'The Great Barrier Reef was amazing... Australia is like being on another planet'
Actress Olga Kurylenko is a spokesperson for Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. To watch the latest campaign, visit bit.ly/WaldorfOlga
First holiday memory?
St Petersburg. When I was eight years old, my mother took me to see the culture and do some sightseeing. I remember the big palaces where the tsars used to live and the River Neva, because we walked along its banks. It was summer, so the weather was beautiful and hot. Everything was bright and golden.
Favourite place in the British Isles?
London. I love it, that's why I live in the city. I've been there three years. I was first attracted to it because I started to make more English-speaking movies. For a while, I was living out of hotels, which was crazy, so I thought I might as well just live there. I love Chelsea and Notting Hill, all the parks and walking around when it's sunny. I like having tea at Fortnum & Mason too, which is very touristy, but I'm into all that.
Best holiday?
The South of France. I love Provence especially. I've always wanted to get a house there. Last summer, I went on holiday there and I really enjoyed it. I've been before, but this time was special. It's so quiet and peaceful. I went on some beautiful hikes with friends and we just cooked food all the time and talked. We were near the mountains, which is not as touristy at the coast.
What have you learnt from your travels?
Take all the things you need with you. Don't assume you can get it there. Pack all your books and your drawing materials – I don't like to get stuck without things to do. Also, take a huge bag of medicines, so you can be your own doctor.
Beach bum, culture vulture or adrenalin junkie?
If someone says "we're going to the beach'" I'm already filled with anxiety. After one day, I always feel I need to take a walk or go see something. If a beach is near a city, that's a perfect combination. Then I can go and explore with my backpack. I like discovering and sightseeing.
Greatest travel luxury?
Once you fly in a private jet, you realise that it's a pretty good luxury, because you never have to wait. I travel so much that I'm always at the airport, checking in luggage or standing in queues. It's obviously not an affordable luxury and I'll probably never have one myself, but I did fly in one when we went on tour for Quantum of Solace and also for Oblivion. When you have access to one … wow!
Holiday reading?
I'm not really into reading summer bestsellers. I feel like they're a waste of time. I usually read things on psychology or philosophy. I'm interested in why people behave in certain ways and how we develop. That stuff fascinates me.
Where has seduced you?
India. I went there for a holiday and stayed at the Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur in Rajasthan. It was fascinating. We just had the best time. We walked everywhere – around the streets and the markets – we went shopping, we took a little boat tour on the lake, we ate amazing food. It was just relaxing and peaceful. The people were great, too. I didn't necessarily see beautiful things or an easy life, but I saw the reality and that's what I like.
Worst travel experience?
I was stuck on a yacht in the Mediterranean once with people I didn't really connect with. It was difficult because we were at sea so I couldn't just leave. I just didn't like the subjects they spoke about, so I didn't want to participate. I left four days later.
Best hotel?
I love rooms with space. I usually come with big suitcases for work, because I've got to carry things for premieres and press events, so I always need lots of room. The Waldorf Astoria hotels are definitely for people who travel a lot and need to stay for more than a day. They become like home.
Best meal abroad?
Japan. I've tried the most amazing dishes there. They realised how adventurous I am, so they would put the most weird-looking things in front of me, things that even Japanese people don't eat, to see if I would.
Greatest adventure?
Australia. I went to see the Great Barrier Reef and it was just amazing. You put a scuba mask on and swim along these lines of coral, amid all these beautiful colours. Apart from the sea, Australia has amazing forests and incredible animals, too. It's so different from what we have here. It's like being on another planet.
Where next?
Los Angeles, then Toronto. I still haven't been to Kenya, which everyone raves about because of the wildlife, so I'd like to go there. And a trip to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia would be nice.

Nano-litho start-up aims at the 45-nm node
Abstract: Molecular Imprints Inc. (MII), a developer of a maskless alternative to optical lithography known as nano-imprint lithography, expects to ship 12 machines in 2004. These will be low-throughput machines, only able to handle a few wafers an hour, but suitable for emerging applications in MEMS, optical components, microfluidics and bio-chips, as well as for R&D and process development for conventional chipmaking.

This is one of my favorites: Quinoa Cakes that I serve under a silky, tender poached egg. It's a comforting for dinner as it is for breakfast. http://wp.me/p27pPl-GV
Anything involving a poached can't be bad. Here's another thought http://food52.com/recipes...
I like it for breakfast with blueberries, honey, cottage cheese, pecans, cinnamon and cardamom
We love it as a salad, just adding onion, tomato, cucumber, nuts, even grilled eggplant or zucchini and perhaps chick peas and feta then toppeds with mint, cilatro, basil or whatever you have.
Lemon Herb Quinoa with Hemp Seeds, Spring Peas, and Basil (do a search on this website) is perfect for the warm weather. I've used this recipe a few times, once as written and other times with variations. However, my favorite to date on this site is the "One Pot Kale & Quinoa Pilaf" that's on this site.
It's not really chili season, but i love this recipe: http://food52.com/recipes...,
and this one is one of my very favorites on this website:
(Try using plain yogurt in place of the cream cheese. Even better in my humble opinion.)
Well, I just posted this via my Comfort Food -- Refreshed blog. Tri Berry Quinoa! Seasonal right now, super light and you can bulk it up with legumes to make for a main dish. http://wholefoodsmarketcooking...
One pot kale and quinoa pilaf recipe from Food 52. I don't know how to attach a link. Can someone help me?
I like to turn leftover quinoa (and other grains) into these hearty crepes http://food52.com/recipes.... And for anyone who was saddened to read about the quinoa "crisis" (http://www.nytimes.com...&) I was thrilled to find that they are growing quinoa right here in Colorado. I have yet to try it but apparently it has morphed into a new, black quinoa and is supposedly really good.
I like quinoa salads. This one is among my favorites http://food52.com/recipes...
Liz the Chef just posted one on this week's contest using herbs and shrimp. (Bonus: she lost 23 pounds eating great grains like quinoa)
Just another comment with regard to quinoa; people tend to cook the crap out of it. It cooks up faster than white rice. Don't abuse it.
This recipe has a big fan base among my friends and relatives: http://food52.com/recipes...
Breakfast "oatmeal". Into the rice cooker with cinnamon and milk, then serve with passion fruit and yoghurt. YUM.
Well played.

PoliticsAnti-austerity protests in Europe Public workers in Greece stage strike as workers march in Bulgaria and Macedonia over retirement age. 07 Oct 2010 16:18 GMT | Politics, Business & Economy, Europe, Greece Protesters in Greece held banners reading 'Tax the rich' and 'No sacrifices for the IMF' [AFP] Fresh protests have been staged across several European countries over plans by respective governments to bring about greater austerity. Public servants in Greece went on a 24-hour strike while thousands took to the streets in Bulgaria and Macedonia on Thursday to protest against policies to raise the retirement age. About 10,000 workers protested in Sofia, the Bulgarian capital, against a plan by the nation's conservative government to raise the retirement age to 65. The country's Confederation of Independent Trade Unions is demanding that the age be kept unchanged – 63 for men and 60 for women. Unions said they will keep protesting until a formal agreement is reached. Meanwhile, in Macedonia, more than 2,000 uniformed police officers marched through the capital of Skopje to protest at changes to their retirement age. The police officers gathered outside the country's constitutional court to dispute its decision to repeal provisions that had allowed them to retire after 40 years of service, no matter what their age. In Romania, President Trajan Basescu refused to sign a pension bill passed by the national parliament that would make men and women retire at the age of 65. Women workers in Romania currently retire at 58 and men at 62. Basescu sent the legislation, which has been validated by Romania's constitutional court, back to parliament. Romania's two main opposition parties have threatened to impeach Basescu if he signs the bill into law. Greek strike Greek public sector workers walked out of their jobs protesting against EU and International Monetary Fund (IMF) prescribed austerity measures. Air traffic controllers joined Thursday's strike, widely affecting flights in and out of Greece. Schools and some public services shut down, while public hospitals worked with emergency staff. The austerity measures have hit civil servants particularly hard, with wages cut by an average of 15 per cent, in addition to tax hikes and a pension freeze agreed to help restore the country's finances in return for a 110 billion euro ($154bn) EU/IMF bailout. "Thank God I do not have a family. I would be in great trouble. They have slashed my salary by 20 per cent," Christos Kourniotis, 44, a public school teacher marching in Athens, said. "We cannot go on like this." But turnout at protest rallies during the day were comparitively low. Protesters held banners reading "Tax the rich" and "No sacrifices for the IMF". The government this week announced further belt-tightening in next year's draft budget. The economy is seen contracting by 2.6 per cent in 2011, after a 4 per cent slump this year. "2011 will be a tough year, but our aim is to work together - state, citizens, social partners - to turn 2011 into the last year of recession. We can do it," George Papandreou, the prime minister, told parliament on Thursday. Private sector union GSEE has said it will not strike any time soon, easing pressure on the ruling Socialists as they struggle to pull Greece out of its worst recession since 1979. But civil servants say they are not going to back down. "We will keep protesting, demanding that the new budget does not include any further salary cuts," Ilias Iliopoulos, general secretary of public sector union ADEDY, said.Source: Agencies

Festas always brighten up a town or village but I hink the colours used at Gharb were the nicest I'd seen. Certainly against the type of houses and other buildings in the village (and especilly the square) it made a very wonderful scene. If we go again next year I think i will try to be in Gharb on festa day, I'd like to see it at night too.
The feast day for Gharb parish church is 31st May but the outdoor festivities are held on the first weekend of July, which was when we visited.
The streets are decorated with bunting, hangings and figures of religious icons.

Here's a look at my crystal ball for Planet Barbecue 2015.
A lot of people complain that barbecue just isn't what it used to be, and they're right. It's better. It's better in traditional barbecue hotspots, like Kansas City and Dallas. It's better in places where you'd never expect to find killer 'que, from Brooklyn to Minneapolis to L.A.
Fried chicken may not be the best option for our waistlines, but when your tastes buds are crying tears of joy (read: you're drooling), calorie inta...
In some parts of Texas, putting anything other than salt and pepper on a brisket is considered blasphemy. But to the dismay of more traditional pitmasters (and Spinderella) there's a whole host of folks around the country (and Canada!) who're using brisket to nefariously awesome ends.
The average hog today contains 31 percent less fat than it would have 20 years ago. And we all know that that fat carries flavor.
Nothing in the canon of smoked-meat history lights the fires quite like the age-old question of beef vs. pork.
You might be surprised to find that even little dives in small cities are becoming increasingly vegan-friendly.
Few things bring such a sense of happiness and excitement as good food, fine beverages and great music served up among friends. You could say it's euphoric. Greenville, S.C. knows this well, having named its annual food, beverage and music festival, Euphoria.
Initially faced with the brightly-colored truck outside our normal meal space, some clients were hesitant, assuming that this bounty could not be for them. Other clients walked up uncertainly, but broke into smiles we told them to just go to the truck and order.

Just make sure there's a grill where you're going, and you can take your ultimate Labor Day BBQ on the road.
If you're like me, after a summer of cookouts, you're ready for a Labor Day barbecue that's anything but labor-intensive.
Few food cultures are as rooted in tradition as barbecue.
The debate over who has the best barbecue is a sticky subject for aficionados across the country. While Kansas City locals swear by their sweet, tan...
While not everything about these places is Texan, you won't want to mess with their brisket.
With the summer months winding down in the coming weeks and the end-of-season holiday to finish it all off, there's no better time to squeeze in a few more fun fetes or whatever big event you might be hosting on your calendar.
It's time for ribs. And burgers. And steak.
BBQ worth traveling for.
Competition BBQ has grown exponentially in the last ten years and that means bigger purses, more attention, and more competitors. But this sort of event isn't for the faint of heart -- or wallet,

FILM: He can't take his eyes off her. Who can blame him?
Martin is the illegitimate son of a wealthy factory owner. During an argument, Martin pushes his father down the stairs, killing him. Martin flees to Paris where he meets Alice, a violinist. After some time, they fall in love, but it is only when Alice becomes pregnant with his child that Martin's guilt concerning his father's death emerges, with dreadful, consuming daring.
Techine's film is calm and responsive, but too circuitous. He deploys flashback in a wholly confusing way (at one point, I thought the projectionist had put the wrong reel on, so seemingly random was the scene suddenly stuck in front of us) and, like so many directors, he is over-fond of watching Binoche smoke, Binoche take a walk, Binoche thinking through the window, Binoche smelling and hearing and tasting and touching. But who can blame him, who can blame them all? Juliette Binoche is the most beautiful actress in the world.
It might be an apocryphal story, but I read somewhere that Richard Curtis wrote Notting Hill with Binoche in mind. He feared casting her because if he met her he would certainly fall in love with her, and considering he was already in love with his partner, decided Julia Roberts was a wiser bet. Foolish man.
Binoche has a completely original face. Her dark eyes and sharp nostrils always make me think of a fox-cub, and yet there is something so urban about Binoche. Perhaps it is her incurable paleness. Or the way she wades through the city, altogether tranquil, as though she were happily a part of its hardness, its tough steps, its shuttling metal. And yet Binoche is always working this God-given quality. Her famous passivity is not an expression of laziness or emptiness. It is quite the opposite. Binoche strives to convey the unbroken spirit of each of her characters. She interferes all the time, with a tellingly short blink, a hand behind the ear, a shoulder clasped to her neck. And yet she retains her shell. There is simply nobody else like her. Both she and Loret are terrific here - Loret tight and desperate, as though he were sick of his own ghost.
After a compelling start, the film goes on and on, rattling away like a game of backgammon played over a long weekend. It has the emotional impact of a bleak excursion to the Passport Office - after a while everything gets on your nerves. As a study of how guilt can impact miserably on reason, it is only occasionally affecting, but see it for its stars. They are brilliant and refreshing.
Anywhere But Here features Susan Sarandon as an eccentric mother and Natalie Portman as her calmer daughter. Sarandon ups sticks and moves from nowhere-America to Los Angeles in a gold Mercedes. Portman is unimpressed, missing her family and friends and fearing life alone in a shoddy apartment with barmy Mum. These days it's a kind of treason to say anything negative about Sarandon. No need - she is familiarly sincere here, familiarly tough. And Portman ("the new Audrey Hepburn") hasn't an ounce of froth in her. She might become a serious actress. Director Wayne Wang shows us middle- grotty Beverley Hills, which is a rare sight. He gets the carpets right: brown swirls, hints of shagpile, impossible to hoover. But you know nothing really bad is going to happen to this pair. Not in a Wang film. At worst, Sarandon has a one-night-stand with a creepy orthodontist. It's a slick movie, but it will struggle to find an audience.
The Clandestine Marriage had a troubled shoot. After its funding collapsed, its stars Joan Collins and Nigel Hawthorne stepped in with the cash, and there is a definite Blitz atmosphere throughout. The 1776 play is too late by a century to be described as Restoration Comedy, but it co-opts all the concerns of those dramas: masks behind masks, hypocrites versus sensualists, and so on. It centres around the intended uniting of the Sterling and Ogleby families through marriage, and on the screen feels horribly lost and lunatic. On the plus side there is Hawthorne. But Joan Collins's performance as a grasping aunt is barking. Semi-intelligible in about 15 different accents, she finally settles for German-meets-posh- meets-Manuel-in-Fawlty-Towers; "What ees wrong with this familaaaa?"
In Happy, Texas Jeremy Northam and Steve Zahn play escaped convicts forced to pose as homosexual beauty pageant experts. After a witty intro, the film aims too squarely at the gluey American heart. In its best moments, it's like Some Like it Hot. Northam comes home late after a night out with the local sheriff and informs Zahn, "We're dating!" It is mindful of the moment in Wilder's comedy when Jack Lemmon is forced to chant "I'm a boy! I'm a boy! Oh boy am I a boy!" after telling Tony Curtis that he's planning a Niagara Falls honeymoon with ageing playboy Osgood.
Briefly to Guest House Paradiso,which has Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmonson harassing the guests in their turgid hotel. Back in Edinburgh in 1982, Ben Elton introduced Rik Mayall as "the funniest man in the world". That was then. With the fart-bum-willy-puke Guest House Paradiso, Mayall, encouraged by his sidekick Edmonson, has completed his decline.
