When I first played naruto ninja destiny I thought, "could they have made a better fighting game?" The answer, quite simply, is yes.

The last reputed gang leader wanted by Omaha police in connection with the Operation Purple Haze street gang sweep was arrested Friday in Lincoln.
Eric English, 30, was booked into the Douglas County Jail on suspicion of possession with intent to deliver crack cocaine, said Officer Michael Pecha, a police spokesman.
A Crime Stoppers tip helped police find and arrest English, Pecha said.
The police operation, which began nine months ago, was an effort to arrest 10 leaders of the 49th Avenue Crips and 29th Street gangs.
The Lincoln Police Department's fugitive task force helped Omaha police arrest English.
The other men already in custody are Vernon Elmore, 30; Lawrence McGarity, 36; Michael Liggins, 31; Adonis Williams, 35; Marcus Jefferson, 37; Jerell Haynie, 31; Rodney Anthony, 35; Jabari Liggins, 28; and Carlos Taylor, 34.

Reader Hack: A Great Kids' Art Supply Storage Solution
Posted in: How I de-cluttered, Reader Hacks, Clutter Control Products, Organizeit Projects, Living Simply, Clutter Hacks
I've been told I'm a certifiable neat freak. Please forgive me; it's most likely a result of my upbringing and my mother, Mother Immaculate. Just ask my older sister; she's even neater than me.
As neat as I may be, there are definitely times when messy is good — like when my kids are finger-painting and making paper-mache.
As my kids got older, the art supplies became more numerous. Soon I had art supplies all over the kitchen and they began to overtake the top of my refrigerator.
I had to come up with a solution.
My husband assembled this corner cabinet. Not only is it out of the way, it is convenient. It holds brushes, paints, markers, glue, beads, ribbon, string and stickers. I even separated regular pens, fancy pens, pencils, erasers and glue sticks. It may not be ridiculously neat inside, but when the doors are shut everything looks clean.

Hearing To Determine Death Penalty Eligibility For Georgiana Man Shawn McClain is charged with murdering his neighbor, Dorothy Leatherwood.
His attorneys say he was mentally ill the night Leatherwood was killed and they hope to prove it at a hearing this week to determine whether McClain is mentally competent to stand trial and be eligible for the death penalty if he's convicted. Will Shawn McClain be eligible for the death penalty if he's convicted? It's a question a judge could answer later this week. The District Attorney's office and some family members of 72-year-old, Dorothy Leatherwood, want to see him executed. "Just go ahead and take him out and be over with it and everybody would be satisfied. Kill him. Let him go," Said the victim's brother, James Rudolph. "He knows right from wrong and that's the part that gets me. He knew that what he did was wrong when he come in here the way he did," Said the victim's niece, Pam Lewis. Butler County deputies and Georgiana Police found Leatherwood dead inside her Georgiana home last November. Investigators say McClain was her neighbor and handy-man. He pleaded not guilty in April. Leatherwood's family still asks why this horrible crime had to happen. "She was murdered, then you find out the way she was murdered, then you find out who did it because it was that 'who done it' thing and now we know who did it. And now they're trying to say he's trying to do a whole other mental case thing here, so it's challenging for everybody," Said Lewis. The D.A.'s office tells Alabama News Network if the judge does not find McClain competent enough to stand trial, they will still be able to seek a sentence of life without parole if he's convicted. The D.A.'s office also says a mental evaluation of McClain will be presented at the hearing Thursday. Alabama News Network will keep you updated when the judge makes a decision. Most Viewed |

The Custer OM students' inquisitive minds were in full gear during their campus visit.

Dakota Sun is one of only 35 solar- powered vehicles that completed this summer's 1,240 mile race from Indianapolis to Colorado Springs.

Interview with Hayashi Shigeki - Japanese ceramic artist represented by Keiko Gallery, October 2011
The special feature in partnership with Keiko Gallery includes interviews with 10 Japanese artists represented by Keiko, and many images with their works.
→ The interviews will be published in the first printed issue of Ceramics Now Magazine. Pre-order Issue nr. 1 - Winter 2011-2012 or subscribe for one year.
Ceramics Now Magazine : Constructing your figurative pieces with such delicacy takes a lot of time. Can you tell us more about the process? What materials do you use?
Hayashi Shigeki: I make the prototypes with regular clay and make plaster casts for them. Then I pour the plaster, modify those plaster masters very carefully and create second plaster casts. Then I pour the slip into them and throw the remaining slip away. After taking the pieces out from the cast, I work on some final details and then put them into the kiln for the biscuit firing. I sand the biscuit surfaces and then second fire them at 2246 degrees (F). Additional decorations with gold or silver are added and then fired again at 1472(F). All the parts are assembled with epoxide-based adhesive and bolts. The latest work consists in forty parts. I am using thirty four different kinds of casts which are from two to seven split molds. Since I don't have any assistancy, all the processes are done by myself. For my latest work, it took me nine months to make the casting process and one month for the firing and assembling process.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- Bl.

The symptoms of HIV and AIDS vary, depending on the phase of infection.
The majority of people infected by HIV develop a flu-like illness within a month or two after the virus enters the body. This illness, known as primary or acute HIV infection, may last for a few weeks. Possible symptoms include:
Although the symptoms of primary HIV infection may be mild enough to go unnoticed, the amount of virus in the blood stream (viral load) is particularly high at this time. As a result, HIV infection spreads more efficiently during primary infection than during the next stage of infection.
In some people, persistent swelling of lymph nodes occurs during clinical latent HIV. Otherwise, there are no specific signs and symptoms. HIV remains in the body, however, as free virus and in infected white blood cells.
Clinical latent infection typically lasts eight to 10 years. A few people stay in this stage even longer, but others progress to more-severe disease much sooner.
Early symptomatic HIV infection As the virus continues to multiply and destroy immune cells, you may develop mild infections or chronic symptoms such as:
If you receive no treatment for your HIV infection, the disease typically progresses to AIDS in about 10 years. By the time AIDS develops, your immune system has been severely damaged, making you susceptible to opportunistic infections — diseases that wouldn't trouble a person with a healthy immune system. The signs and symptoms of some of these infections may include:
If you think you may have been infected with HIV or are at risk of contracting the virus, see a health care provider as soon as possible.

These are great pants very comfy and true to fit. I purchased the short version and they are the perfect length for 5' 7" The leg opening is the perfect size to zip off with boots on and are not overly large like some reviewers state in My opinion. I guess they could be considered large if your use to wearing super skinny jeans or super slims. The fit and function is great on these. you wont go wrong with these. fabric seems alittle heavier than other pants from other manufacturers making a similar pant, fabric is alittle thicker which makes these more ammune to rips and tears in the back country. These are still very confortable and lite weight
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueGreat Adventure Pant
March 11, 2012
The best nylon adventure pant I have ever purchased. They fit all my needs and expectations for what I look for in this style of pant. Fit was spot on for me.
Best Convertible Pants Ive ever had
January 02, 2012
Mountain Khakis scored big with the Granite Creek Convertibles. The Shorts are above the knee, and the pant length doesnt drag the ground with boots or even trail runner shoes. The zippered pockets are huge for me as Im wary of my passport or worse falling out when Im inside trucks, helos, planes and camels... Solid pants. My first MK purchase, definitely not my last.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Cons: CostGranite Creek Convertibles
July 25, 2011
This makes my third pair of convertibles from Mountain Khakis. Excellent quality and fit overall. Nice to find convertible pants these days with actual belt loops and reinforced areas. The gussetted crotch is mandatory for plane trips, etc. Used these recently in Montana flyfishing and they performed exceptionally.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, PerformanceBought for my son
February 24, 2012
My son is to tall for kids pants & alittle small around the waist for men's pants, but he loves them. I got him the 28 x 32. I think he would have liked 28 x 34, but they didn't have any in the 34 length. Hopefully he can wear these for a while before he grows out of the length. He loves the fact he can turn them into shorts if he gets hot.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great valueGreat pants for us guys with long legs
April 22, 2011
It is very hard for me to find pants with a 36 inch inseam that otherwise fit my personal taste. Apparently, fit outdoorsy types aren't six foot three 235 pound lumberjack looking muldoons. 5.11 has, up to now, been my go to trousers because of their rugged design. The problem I have with them is that they look like a uniform. I wear my military uniform every day and I really like a lot of the features. However, I'd like just once to have the features I like in a pair of pants that don't scream "off duty Soldier" while I'm hiking with my kids or travelling through the airport. The Mountain Khakis Granite Creek Convertible Pants are golden. I get all the ruggedness, the're lightweight and fast drying, and have just the right amount of pockets that I like without looking like a security contractor. And finally, the pants are offered in a size that I actually fits my long legs.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great valueSolid
March 15, 2011
Positive: Fit well (little big in the waist but good belt loops) and run true to size (M-34" Inseam 30"--I'm 5'9" and 160 lbs). Material is heavier than Columbia's which is very thin but slightly lighter than North Face's heavier convertiable pant. Pockets are well designed. Seams look durable. Zips are plastic but seem good. Negative: Cuffs are flared out excesivly (like bellbottoms). Even with the bulkiest hiking boots, the cuffs are wide. The outseams have zippers for convertable removal with boots on so one wonders why the cuffs are so wide. I may resort to taping the cuffs so flared out bottoms don't catch material on hikes. Not a big deal but a slight distraction if you bushwack.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: flared legCan we say "Best Pants Ever?"
September 30, 2010
I bought these pants for my boyfriend who just fell in LOVE with them. He usually just wears shorts but when hiking in dense woods, he always wears pants. These pants are the best of both worlds for him. He also used to complain about the discomfort across his knees where the zipper of other convertible pants rub when zipped but MK did an awesome job of creating comfort in this area too. They took notice of all details and created a pant that I know I will get requests for during holidays, birthdays, etc. And honestly, the $80.00 is well worth it when the product is of such high quality like MK's!

Overview of content related to 'open access'
This page provides an overview of 223 articles related to 'open access', listing most recently updated content first. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
Open access (OA) refers to unrestricted online access to articles published in scholarly journals, and increasingly also book chapters or monographs. Open Access comes in two forms, Gratis versus Libre: Gratis OA is no-cost online access, while Libre OA offers some additional usage rights. Open content is similar to OA, but usually includes the right to modify the work, whereas in scholarly publishing it is usual to keep an article's content intact and to associate it with a fixed author. Creative Commons licenses can be used to specify usage rights. The Open Access idea can be extended to the learning objects and resources provided in e-learning. OA can be provided in two ways: 1) "Green OA" is provided by authors publishing in any journal and then self-archiving their postprints in their institutional repository or on some other OA website. Green OA journal publishers endorse immediate OA self-archiving by their authors. 2) "Gold OA" is provided by authors publishing in an open access journal that provides immediate OA to all of its articles on the publisher's website. (Hybrid open access journals provide Gold OA only for those individual articles for which their authors (or their author's institution or funder) pay an OA publishing fee.) (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Open access publishing)

What could happen if we each concentrated on just one high school senior and made that prospective student our own "come-to-Calvin" focus for the next nine months?
Every Calvin alumna, alumnus, parent, faculty and staff member and current student knows a high school senior who would benefit from Calvin's "heart and mind" education. So, think about who your "one" could be and how you might connect with them this year to personally encourage them to consider Calvin.
Your first step? Pick your "one" today!
Give Admissions the details of the high school senior you'll be focusing on and we'll make sure your student is on Calvin's radar screen. If you let us know who you're talking to, we'll thank you with a gift:

Surprisingly Okay: 'The New Dork' Song/Video
Last week it was 'The New Dork Anthem', and this week it's 'The New Dork', a spoof of Jay-Z and Alicia Key's 'Empire State of Mind' by pantless knights, the same makers as the 'I'm on a Mac' song and dance. It's an attempt at reclaiming the term "dork" and embracing a new, positive connotation. I don't know about all that but the song and video were both surprisingly well made. And I'm not just saying that because brobro was smart enough to shoutout Geekologie at 0:50, but yes, yes I am. You scratch my back and I'll -- okay stop, you're making leg twitch. Red rocket, RED ROCKET!

This is a song called 'The Dork Anthem' by two cats named Dave and Brian. Personally, I find the term dork offensive, but that's just me and I'm official the judge of these things. Geek, sure, but dork? That's derogatory. Like not calling me by my proper title: Geekologie W... / Continue →

This is a parody of the Katy Perry (who's actually a parody of a real musician) hit 'I Kissed a Girl'. Except this one's called 'I Kissed a Nerd'. It was created by the Damsels of Dorkington and is definitely worth a watch if you're bored. Or lonely. Or looking for love in ... / Continue →

On Dec. 8, 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt broadcast to the world that Dec. 7, 1941, was a day that would live in infamy. May 9, 2012, is another day that I believe should be so classified. Very few people know or care what is significant about May 9.
On May 9, 2012, for the very first time in history of our nation, our president expressed his support for same-sex marriage. The day before on May 8, a Gallup Poll claimed by a margin of 50-48 percent, Americans favor the legalization of same-sex marriage. It is apparent the president along with half the nation has become part of our country's problem. Disregard for God's word.
The Bible in both the Old and New testaments clearly and consistently teaches that homosexual relationships are immoral and contrary to God's will. To support legalization of same-sex is to endorse immorality.
When running for president in 2008, Obama said, "now for me as a Christian, I believe that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. It is a sacred union."
Franklin Graham was able to see that the rhetoric he now uses and made this statement, "in changing his position from t hat of senator/candidate Obama, President Obama, in my view has shaken his fist at the same God who created and defined marriage. It grieves me that our president would now affirm same-sex marriage, though I believe it grieves God even more, this is a sad day for America. May God help us."
Unlike Graham, many preachers remain silent in fear of upsetting some members of their congregation. Others openly condone and endorse homosexuality. If you have any doubts about what I have written, take the time to read the first chapter in the book of Romans. Remember that the Lord is the final authority.

Warlords of Draenor: Gameplanet interviews Alex Afrasiabi
And if that weren't enough, there's some new details on the introduction to the expansion itself. The Iron Horde is trying to push through the Dark Portal into Azeroth, and players are immediately thrown into a frenetic 45-minute gameplay experience in which they are immediately confronted by thousands of Iron Horde. Afrasiabi states that players will, in that moment, realize where the orcs that have been streaming through the Dark Portal in the weeks leading up to the expansion's release have been coming from. It looks like we'll have our return of pre-expansion events -- something that was sorely missed leading into Mists of Pandaria.
But the most interesting part of the interview involves the discussion of flight on Draenor.

The author's best books distinguish themselves from ordinary science fiction by focusing not on technology, but on the toll that technological advances often take on human values.

It's hard to know what the science fiction writer Philip K. Dick would have made of the fact that this month he has arrived at the pinnacle of literary respectability.
May 6, 2007booksNewsIt's Philip Dick's World, We Only Live in It
A writer who pounded out dozens of novels and scores of stories in California between the 1950's and his death in 1982, Philip K. Dick has his share of champions, ranging from rock musicians to French postmodernists. Since his best work was published as pulp science fiction, they've had their hands full just trying to win him a little credibility. Meanwhile, almost unremarked, Dick's sensibility has seeped wide and deep into contemporary life.
November 24, 2002artsNewsPhilip K. Dick's Mind-Bending, Film-Inspiring Journeys
To call Philip K. Dick a science-fiction writer is to the underscore the inadequacy of the label. Dick, who died of a stroke in 1982 at 53, was fascinated by the scientific future largely as a vehicle for examining his own anxieties, longings and unstable perceptions. It would be more accurate to call him one of the most valiant psychological explorers of the 20th century.

Science fiction, which started out on the edges of literature and pulp fiction, has become more than mainstream; it is now an essential way of interpreting the world.

January 28, 1996moviesNewsLoving Androids Too Much
The science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, who died in 1982, is a cult figure who was scarcely known outside his genre until two of his works were made into movies. The first movie, "Blade Runner" (from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" about androids posing as people), is a classic, some say a masterpiece. The second, Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Total Recall" (from "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale," about buying memories instead of living them) was a good idea poorly executed.

Wish that were the case, more would work. However, it seems the Children are the ones going hungry because the so called parents can't manage the money they are given. That or they don't give a dam.
Sherwood_Eagle_Alum 9 months, 3 weeks ago
I agree, Walt, that is a sore subject for me. When "parents" don't do what's best for their kids, it really angers me.
waltspecht 9 months, 3 weeks ago
For what it is worth, I bought $20 worth of quick picks in both Lotterys this weekend. A young Lady in front of me got $50 worth of the Power Ball tickets. When I checked out with my Groceries, I paid with my Debit Card. She paid with a State EBT Card. Am I the only one noticing this type of thing, and believing it to be wrong? Then I hear the commercial that many Children go to bed hungry in America and have really got to wonder.
FryarTuk 9 months, 3 weeks ago
No you are not walt. I was in Cordele WalMart standing in the check out line and a lady in front of me had a grocery cart laden with candy, crackers and gum in boxes. She told the attendant she was re-stocking the store in her project apartment that kids had bought her out going to the baseball game that morning. She whipped out her card with the American flag and began paying for it. I protested right there in the store and was told to mind my own business. The checkout lady said it was common and it made her sick but that she would be fired if said anything. I also saw two women buy things for a church picnic at Harvey's in Albany and I objected to no end. So no walt, you are not the only person who sees or cares.

Lansing BWL officials face critics of last month's major power outage response
Lansing Board of Water and Light officials are defending their heavily criticized response to last month's major power outage.
BWL customers like Alice Dreger are livid over having to wait more than a week for their power to be turned back on.
"Let me tell you, when you have live wires down for nine to 12 days, safety is not job one," Dreger told a packed meeting last night at BWL's headquarters.
But a majority of those taking the podium praised the work of BWL employees. Most were BWL employees and officials, though a few were BWL customers.
J. Peter Lark is BWL's general manager. He's been the focus of much of the criticism. Lark left the city during the outage to spend time in New York City with his family. He told the packed meeting he "regrets" the problems that resulted from the "catastrophic" ice storm. Lark says "improvements are necessary."
"Disasters unfortunately come with hard lessons, and we have learned from this," Lark said as he started the meeting by reading a prepared statement.
But Lark says it's important to look at the "context" of the damage linemen had to respond to.
"It took us 138 years to build (BWL's electrical system)," Lark said. "It took Mother Nature eight hours to destroy 40% of it."
BWL plans to offer customers who were without power for five days a $25 credit, and more for people who were without electricity longer. A spokesman says it's too early to estimate what that would cost the utility.
The utility also plans to hire more line workers, and complete a review of the outage by the middle of next month. Lark expects an announcement soon on an outside review of the utility's response to the Dec. 22 ice storm and the power outage that followed.
Lark also says BWL will be more aggressive in its tree-trimming program. "We're not going to do anything draconian," Lark told the utility's Board of Commissioners.

The young girl wounded in a drive-by shooting on Durrett Avenue last night remains in a Nashville hospital.
Hopkinsville Police Public Information Officer Paul Ray says the 8-year old girl is in stable condition at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, receiving treatment for a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Officers responded to 1413 Durrett just after 7 when someone in a vehicle fired shots into the residence occupied by the child and two adult females.
One of the adults, 59-year old Louvenia Wilford of Hopkinsville, sustained minor injuries and was treated and released from Jennie Stuart Medical Center. The other adult was not hurt.
Chief Guy Howie said police got conflicting witness reports regarding the type of vehicle involved in the incident and no arrests have been made.

Politics of Zimbabwe Political parties Elections |
The Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front (ZANU–PF) has been the ruling party in Zimbabwe since independence in 1980, led by Robert Mugabe, first as Prime Minister with the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU), and then as President from 1988 after merger with the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU) and retaining the name ZANU-PF. In the 2008 parliamentary election the ZANU-PF lost sole control of parliament for the first time in party history, brokering a difficult power-sharing deal with the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
Zimbabwe African National Union[edit]
ZANU was founded by Ndabaningi Sithole, Henry Hamadziripi, Mukudzei Midzi, Herbert Chitepo, Edgar Tekere and Leopold Takawira at the house of former Defence Minister Enos Nkala in Highfield in August 1963.[1] The minority Ndau followed Sithole into the moderate Zanu (Ndonga) party (known later as ZANU Mwenje), who renounced violent struggle, while the majority Shona followed Mugabe's ZANU with a more militant agenda.
During the 1980 independence elections, ZANU allied itself with ZAP in the Patriotic Front (PF), the two parties adopting the names ZANU-PF and PF-ZAPU respectively, but they split after achieving majority rule.
In December 1987, after five years of low-level civil war termed Gukurahundi, the opposition ZAPU, led by Joshua Nkomo, was absorbed through the unity accord into ZANU-PF,[2] in what was seen as a step towards a one-party state.[citation needed]
Patriotic Front (PF)[edit]
The Patriotic Front (PF) was originally formed in 1976 as a political and military alliance between ZAPU and ZANU during the war against white minority rule in Zimbabwe (then called Rhodesia). The Patriotic Front included ZAPU led by Joshua Nkomo operating mainly from Zambia, and ZANU led by Robert Mugabe and operated mainly from neighbouring Mozambique. Both movements contributed their respective military forces: ZAPU's military wing was known as Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA) and ZANU's guerrillas where known as Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army (ZANLA). The objective of the Patriotic Front was to overthrow the white minority regime of Ian Smith by means of political pressure and military force.[3]
Their common goal was achieved in 1980 with the formal independence of Zimbabwe. During the 1980 election campaign the Patriotic Front alliance partners split into their respective factions and competed separately as ZANU-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) and Patriotic Front-ZAPU (ZAPU-PF). The election was won by Robert Mugabe and ZANU-PF, with Joshua Nkomo and his PF-ZAPU retaining a stronghold in the provinces of Matabeleland.[3]
Officially, ZANU-PF is socialist in ideology, and is modelled on communist parties in other countries. The party maintains a politburo.[4] However, the party had abandoned much of the egalitarian aspects associated with conventional Communist Party practice, instead choosing to pursue a mixed economy.
Land redistribution[edit]
Mugabe has since pursued a more populist approach on the issue of land redistribution: encouraging seizure of large farms—usually owned by members of the white minority—"for the benefit of landless black peasants." Critics of this policy argue that it is to maintain his grip on power as supporters of his government directly benefit from their personal gains of land redistribution far more than the landless population.[5]
Mugabe has also faced a major political challenge from the opposition Movement for Democratic Change. Mugabe won 56.0% at the presidential elections of 9 – 11 March 2002.
At the December 2004 five-year conference, Joyce Mujuru, a Zezeru Shona like Mugabe and whose late husband Solomon Mujuru was the retired head of the armed forces, was elevated to the post of vice-president of the party (the first woman to hold that office) at the expense of contender Emmerson Mnangagwa and his backers, Justice Minister Patrick Chinamasa and information minister Jonathan Moyo.[6]
The 2005 Zimbabwe parliamentary elections were held on 31 March 2005. The party won 59.6% of the popular vote and 78 out of 120 elected seats. Later that year, 26 November, it won 43 of 50 elected senators. The parliamentary election was disputed as being unfair. The leader of the opposition MDC party said, "We are deeply disturbed by the fraudulent activities we have unearthed", and various human rights groups reported that hundreds of thousands of "ghost voters" had appeared on the electoral roll of 5.8 million people.[7]
In the 2008 parliamentary election, the ZANU-PF lost its majority in parliament for the first time, holding 94 seats out of the expanded 210 seats, with Sokwanele stating that this figure would have been lower had it not been for gerrymandering, electoral fraud and widespread intimidation.[8]
In the 2008 presidential election, Morgan Tsvangirai, the MDC candidate, received the most votes but did not receive an absolute majority, thus a runoff was necessary. Initial results led to MDC-T claiming the majority necessary. However, ballots were recounted at a National Command Centre over a period of several days without the presence of independent observers. The election process that followed was marred by more violence against and intimidation of voters and party workers. Morgan Tsvangirai initially stated he intended to contest the second round but pulled out of the run off saying a free and fair election was impossible in the current climate. The elections were held on 27 June with a single candidate, Robert Mugabe, who was reelected.

- Former ZAPU members and Ndebele being left out in the discussions between the two Movement for Democratic Change formations and ZANU-PF.
- Unhappiness with the sacking of Dumiso Dabengwa from the politburo because he supported Simba Makoni in the 2008 presidential election.
- Lack of development in Bulawayo province, including the lack of progress on the Matabeleland Zambezi Water Project.
- ZAPU cadres not considered for burial at the national heroes acre
- The issue of succession.[10]
