W Hotels set to strengthen its China presence.
Thursday, 12th June 2014
Source : Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.
Starwood Worldwide announced an agreement with Shenyang Huaqiang Jinlang City Square Properties to debut the W Hotels brand in Shenyang, a Northeast China province.
Scheduled to open in 2019, W Shenyang will be located along Qingnian Avenue, known as the citys Golden Corridor, which comprises the central business district, central administration district and central cultural district.
We are delighted to partner with Huaqiang Group to launch the W brand in Shenyang, said Qian Jin, President, Greater China, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. Since W Hotels made its debut in mainland China last year, the brand continues to redefine Chinas luxury hotel experience. W Shenyang will offer cutting-edge design, Whatever/Whenever service, bustling bar and restaurant, and insider access to whats new and next for both guests and locals alike.
W Hotels is slated to open 12 new properties in the Asia Pacific region by 2019 with more than half those hotels planned for China, including new flagships in Beijing and Shanghai as well as Suzhou, Changsha and Chengdu.
Shenyang is the economic, cultural, communication, trade and commercial hub of the North-eastern region of China, said Lian Bin, Chairman of Board, Shenyang Huaqiang Jinlang City Square Properties Co., Ltd. Our vision is to create a hotel which will set a new lifestyle standard. We have no doubt W Shenyang will be the best choice for both domestic and international visitors to Shenyang.
Shenyang served as the national capital city of China for more than two decades in the 17th century before the Manchu reign moved west to Beijing in 1644. Leaving behind the palaces and tombs of early rulers, these relics have since become popular tourist attractions, such as Shenyang Botanical Gardens and Mukden Palace, amongst others. Shenyang has historically been a titan of heavy industries, and in recent years, the city has seen greater contributions from tertiary industries and boasts the most robust consumption of luxury goods in Northeast China. The fast economic growth of the city as well as the irreplaceable city center location is ideal for the debut of W.
Shenyang provides an ideal foothold for Starwoods expanding pipeline with its growing economy and position as a trade hub for Northeast China, said Franck Huang, Vice President, Acquisition & Development, Greater China, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. This opening will strengthen Starwoods presence in the city and provide an exciting option for affluent travelers who are looking for the epitome of contemporary luxury.
W Shenyang will offer an integrated contemporary lifestyle experience, offering 280 stylish guestrooms, including 30 suites and an Extreme Wow Suite (the W brands reinterpretation of the traditional Presidential Suite). It will also feature more than 26,000 square feet of ultra-modern meeting and event space as well as 24-hour, WIRED®business center, spa, FIT® state-of-the-art workout facility, WET® indoor heated swimming pool, and W Hotels The Store. In addition, the hotel will offer four unique restaurants and bars, including an all-day dining restaurant, innovative Chinese restaurant, specialty restaurant, and the striking Living Room Bar. Guests can also expect the W brands iconic Whatever/Whenever® service philosophy, providing them with whatever they want, whenever they want it.

Kris Humphries' parents settle for quckie divorce after 30 years of marriage
London, August 27 (ANI): Kris Humphries, who has been embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with ex-wife Kim Kardashian could learn a thing or two about settling legal proceedings real quick from his parents.
The NBA star's parent's William and Debra Humphries are said to have been suffering from marital discord for sometime now. But the couple settled their affairs long before even Debra filed for divorce, citing an 'irretrievable breakdown' in the marriage
According to TMZ, the agreement rules that neither party will be awarded spousal support, the Daily Mail reported.
Although William will take the Minnesota home that they share as well as their boat and BMW, he will be the one covering all of the legal fees.
The duo, which has been married for 30 years now, will reportedly go their separate ways financially with individual bank accounts. (ANI)

Pork on the fork might just keep you living to 105!
105-Year-Old Woman Says Eating Bacon Is Key To Her Health
Via Examiner
A 105-year-old woman who loves bacon is making news today. The woman says that the key to her good health (well in to her 100's) is, you guessed it, bacon. On May 7, The Raw Story reported that Pearl Cantrell's love of bacon not only makes her happy but it also keeps her going.
"I love bacon, I eat it everyday. I don't feel as old as I am, that's all I can say. I love bacon, I could eat it for every meal — and I do," said Cantrell. Her age and her obsession with the delicious crispy pork pieces scored her a visit from the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile and it's making her a bacon celebrity across the internet.
The 105-year-old bacon woman couldn't wait to tell everyone just how much she loves bacon. Perhaps she shares that sentiment with millions of other people who truly believe that bacon makes everything better — because, really. It does. Cantrell spoke with a local news station which is what really put her — and her bacon — on the map.
"Pearl Cantrell's love of bacon is so strong that the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile made a stop through town last week to wish her a happy birthday, all because she told a local news station her amazing secret," The Raw Story reported.
The 105-year-old woman who simply loves bacon is from Richland, Texas.
We know our muslim brothers and sisters aren't feelin' this lady, but hey, she's 105..give her a break.

VIDEO: Jack Cooley proposing to his girlfriend
Apr 18, 2013, 3:25 PM EST
Jack Cooley hasn't exactly kept the fact that he has a girlfriend a secret.
On multiple occasions, Notre Dame's resident big fella was caught by the cameras postgame planting a smooch on the lips of Jackie Oberlander.
They have reportedly been dating for three-and-a-half years, but perhaps what convinced him that Jackie was the one was the fact that the Des Moines native and devout Iowa State fan was rooting for Notre Dame in their opening round matchup. Her parents were, too.
Maybe that's why, at the team's postseason awards banquet on Wednesday night, Cooley decided to pop the question.
Here's video, via Eric Atkins' twitter feed:
"How did I get through this day?" Cooley told 247sports.com. "How did I get through Portsmouth. Agents, NBA and then I had to go get a ring. I had a lot on my plate. I got the ring here; I got it [Tuesday]."
As a man that recently proposed, I can confirm: the day you do it feels like the longest day of your life.
Congratulations to both Jack and Jackie. Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

We have awesome readers and contributors. Thanks everyone!
The Experience Chilean Food Culture event was held on November 3, 2014 at the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington. The event was co- hosted by the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington and Foods From Chile. The event showcased how wonderful ingredients from Chile are in addition to how skilled local chefs are at integrating these ingredients to make delicious dishes and drinks. This event featured six restaurants, their chefs crafting dishes and mixologists creating cocktails while utilizing Chilean ingredients, competing for best food and best cocktail. In addition several wines, olive oils and avocado oil were available for sampling. I was highly impressed by the flavor and presentation of all of the food and drinks at the event. I would not hesitate to dine at any of the restaurants that participated in the event. Each attendee was given two votes to cast, one for their favorite dish and the other for their favorite cocktail. In addition, there were judges' awards given to best dish and best cocktail as well. The culinary competition was sponsored by Belair Produce, Pisco Waqar, Chile Olive Oil, National Restaurant Association, Patagonia SeaFarms, Watermark Foods, TerraMater, Andes Mountain Water, Acme Paper & Supply, Inc., Wines of Chile and Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington.
Chef Riyad Bouizar made Savory Chicken Tartlets with Chilean Berries. This dish featured a pastry puff cup with a savory and mildly sweet chicken bastilla filling. Plump raspberries and blackberries sat atop each tartlet, topped by a dusting of powdered sugar. This was a delicate dish, mild flavors allowed the natural sweetness of the berries shine through.
Recipient of Judges' Best Cocktail Award
Mixologist Mary Kelly made a specialty cocktail of Chilean Pisco Waqar, grapefruit juice, house made thyme syrup, fresh lemon, and Lillet rose. The acidity of the grapefruit and the thyme infusion created a sweet, sour and savory drink that was incredibly refreshing.
Chef Victor Albisu made Smoked Chicken Liver Crostini with burnt Chilean Blackberry and Malbec Mostrada. Crisp toasts topped with velvety chicken liver pate and a topping of a slightly sweet, sour and a hint of bitter Chilean blackberry and Malbec Mostrada was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture.
Chef Justus Frank made Chilean Olive Oil- Poached Octopus, which featured Chilean Extra Virgin Olive Oil, chickpea puree, aji peppers, hearts of palm and lime zest. This dish was incredibly visually striking with bright orange and green. The octopus was cooked to perfection, which is no easy feat. The olive oil was well balanced by the acidity of the lime zest.
Recipient of Judges' Best Dish Award
Chef Kazuhiro Okochi made Chilean Salmon Soup, which featured Chilean Salmon, Miso, Cream, Onion, Carrot, Potato, Napa Cabbage and Dill. Paper cups were filled with a few pieces of slightly cured, bright pink Chilean Salmon had steaming hot soup ladled over top. The result was perfectly poached salmon and a super comforting soup. The soup was creamy without being overly heavy. The flavors of the soup were mild enough to bring out the flavor of the salmon.
Recipient of the Peoples' Choice Award for best dish and Peoples' Choice Award for best drink
Mixologist Francesco Amodeo made a cocktail that showcased Pisco Waqar, with prickly pear liqueur, aperol, lime juice and muddled red grapes. It was delicious and sweet.
Chef Domenico Apollaro made the dish Terra E. Mare, which featured Buratta, homemade fried smoked Malaiti Pasta, raspberry caviar, prawns carpaccio, Chilean extra virgin olive oil, thyme, chives emulsified, shaved bottarga, volcanic salt and crystralized roses. In my opinion, this was the most aesthetically beautiful dish. The bright red, green and yellow was truly beautiful on the plate.
Chef Felipe Milanes made the dish, The Essence of A Port, which featured Puerto Montes Cured Chilean Salmon, Crispy Arepas, and cannela sauce. This was a humble, crispy bite of arepa topped with cured salmon with pickled vegetables on top. It was a very simple but tasty dish. I liked the textural composition of the soft salmon with the crunch of the arepa.
Chilean Wines:
Until this event, I had limited experience with Chilean wines. Thanks to Sommelier Brent Kroll of Neighborhood Restaurant Group, my eyes are now open to how delectable and affordable Chilean wines are. The event provided the following wines for tasting and I'd recommend trying all of them.
Los Vascos, Sauviginon Blanc, 2013- A crisp and citrusy white wine.
Los Vascos, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012- A dry red wine with notes of raspberries and black cherries.
Ritual, Pinot Noir, 2013 – A dry red wine with a fruity bouquet and notes of plum.
Ritual, Sauviginon Blanc, 2013- A dry white wine with notes of tropical fruit and oak.
Santa Rita Triple C, 2010- A Bordeaux blend, full-bodied red wine with complex flavors of fruit, vanilla and floral notes.
Santa Rita, Reserva, Sauvignon Blanc, 2013- Dry white wine with clean, crisp and citrusy notes.
Santa Rita, Reserva, Carmenere, 2011- A dry medium bodied red wine with notes of black berries, black cherries, vanilla and oak.

…this seems excessive, no? This is from the Shop Rite in Silver Spring, Maryland.
We all know that expiration dates on many items are little more than educated guesses. I grew up in my family's small grocery store near Annapolis, and we often would eat the foods that were either nearing or were at their expiration date, generally with no ill effects. Sure, the dates on milk cartons are pretty accurate, and it's wise to avoid eating deli meats, breads, or prepared foods much past their sell-by date. But most frozen foods can last well past the date stamped on their packages, as long as they're stored correctly. Even now, seeing food a week or so past the sell-by date just doesn't bother me.
Which makes this dented and worn box of Steak-Umm's chicken steaks I found at the Shop Rite so ridiculous. Super market freezer doors open and close all the time, and that simple action changes the storage temperature. People often will put a refrigerated item in their cart and carry it around the store for an hour and then randomly plop it in between the Oreos and the Chips Ahoy. How many times have you seen a shopper put back ice cream in something that wasn't a freezer? Seven additional months of who-knows how many random grabs and placed into how many carts, going through how many freeze/thaw cycles, not including how long it sat on the shelf before April 2014?
That leads me to the sale price – the store had two boxes left, they had different items behind the chicken Steak-umms ready for purchase, AND they just happen to have a two for $7 sale?? Coincidence? Interesting… . I'd guess somebody in the store knew this box of Steak-umms was well-past the expiration date and either didn't care, or were told to ignore it and sell it anyway, clearing the shelf space at any cost rather than lose a couple of bucks. Given that this location is near a large senior citizen community, perhaps the buyer wouldn't be able to see the small print, or wouldn't have the taste buds to tell the difference.
Seeing this mangled box in the freezer reminds me to start paying attention to the sell-by dates again. Back when I was a kid, that meant counting the chocolate milk boxes that would expire in the next 24 hours, and figure out how many would be left over for me to drink. Now, it means to keep an eye out for potentially dangerous food.
No matter the reason or the excuse, this is bad grocery store managing. I wasn't giving the store the Anthony Melchiorri white-glove dust test from "Hotel Impossible;" I was looking for frozen vegetables I could keep at work.
Although…now I'm totally ready to pitch "Grocery Impossible" where I fix horribly-run grocery stores. Food Lion can be my pilot episode. Maybe the whole first season.
Note : I moved the other box of chicken Steak-umms out of the way for the photos, and it had a "best if used by" date labeled comfortably in 2015. Having tried the Steak-umm chicken flavor, my personal recommendation for a "best if used by" date is "never."

I recently attended the Metropolitan Cooking & Entertaining Show. Above are some pictures of the show's highlights.
Bobby Flay was the show's headliner Sunday evening. He is great with kids.
A girl was at the microphone to ask a question.
Bobby: "How old are you?"
Bobby: "When is your birthday?"
Girl: "February"
Bobby: "That isn't nine and a half; you are nine and three quarters. What is your question?"
Girl: "How do you like your burgers?"
Bobby: "Medium rare to medium."
Girl: "We went to Bobby Flay's Burger Palace and my father… (she is getting angry) MADE me order MEDIUM WELL. I wanted medium rare."
Bobby: "Is your father here?" (No.) "Is your mother here?" (Yes.) "Get your mother for me."
Bobby: Asks mother: "What is this I hear about her father making her eat medium well burgers?"
Mother: "I think he sees it as a food safety issue."
Bobby: "It's Bobby Flay's Burger Palace, it's safe! Let her have the medium rare burger."
Another kid (also a girl) asked him if he is going to do the next season of Worst Cooks in America. He said that it is really Anne Burell's show and that he wouldn't be hosting with her this year and the kid was on the verge of tears.
Bobby: "Don't cry! Tyler Florence will be co-hosting this season."
The kid: "Tyler Florence?" And she brightened right up.
Bobby: (Faking jealousy:) "You don't have to be so happy about it. (To the audience:) "She likes Tyler."
I recently hosted DC Food Blogger Happy Hour at Chef Ferhat Yalçin's new restaurant, Fishnet DC. All of Chef Ferhat's dishes were excellent, and it was nice of him to make my a scallop without mushrooms (since I am allergic). I definitely want to go back and try more dishes.
You also can't beat $3 craft beer on tap at Fishnet's happy hour (4-6pm and 9-10pm). The HH beer selection includes:
Ping Pong Dim Sum introduces their new brunch menu with an eastern flare. Dim Sum is already considered Chinese-style brunch but fusing it with the western brunch style makes it a Ping Pong brunch to remember. Dupont Circle's location introduced their newest East West Brunch dishes and cocktails in late October. They flew their Beverage Director, Daniele Ziaco, from London for a quick mixology lesson on how to make one of their signature cocktails, Lemon Grass and Lime, a complicated cocktail of 5 different ingredients (vodka, lychee sake with fresh lemongrass, lime and lychee juice).
Ziaco brings 15 years of experience to Ping Pong, and has developed regional bar programs in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. Before joining Ping Pong's first store in London in 2006, Ziaco managed the bar programs in London for the critically acclaimed Hakkasan restaurants by Alan Yau. Born in Tuscany, much of Ziaco's inspiration for his methodology, and appreciation for quality and freshness, comes from his childhood in Italy.
My favorite cocktail of the night was their Brunch Champagne with Bubbles. Think of it as an adult beverage Bubble Tea although instead of your typical tapioca bubbles it's filled with poppers. And if you're unfamiliar with poppers, I highly suggest that you go out and try them. It's unlike it's tapioca counterparts because instead of being a solid ball of tapioca, the center is filled with fruit juice; the skin encasing the juice is so light that when bitten, a burst of juice fills your mouth.
But now for the important part…the food! I'm not a huge fan of western brunch foods as I'm not really a breakfast person, but these dishes really did wow me. So here's a take on my favorite dishes on the menu. Let's start with their egg and cheese spring rolls, which is a fried egg roll wrapper filled with scrambled eggs, sharp white cheddar, peppers and spring onion, and served with a five-spice tonkatsu sauce. This dish will make you rethink your breakfast burritos.
Next up is their chicken and waffles. Who doesn't like chicken and waffles, but how about green tea flavored waffles with an Asian spice kick? It is a sweet and savory matcha made in heaven (see what I did there?) Matcha green tea belgian waffles topped with sesame seed crusted fried chicken with lemongrass and ginger maple syrup! Doesn't the description alone get your mouth watering? It has mine watering so much that it makes me want to drink the syrup.
Do you have a sweet tooth for breakfast? I certainly do. In my non-executive chef mind, an eastern French toast would just be French toast with some Asian Fruit compote. but this is why I'm not an executive chef. This French toast is no ordinary french toast; it's a mango black tea steeped brioche French toast topped with exotic fruit and served with a ginger maple syrup. It's that ginger maple syrup that brings you to tears of happiness.
And my final top dish would be the Char Sui Buns, an ultimate favorite dim sum dish of mine made up of honey roasted pork in a mantou (fluffy white Chinese bun). Although I don't feel that Ping Pong's rendition beats the original version, it is rather tasty and I'm a fan of the open face mantou.
So with all that's said and eaten, I highly suggest that you grab some friends and run, don't walk to the nearest Ping Pong Dim Sum and have yourself a East West Brunch.
The Secret Life of Food was a delightful event hosted by the National Press club featuring Shirley Corriher and Susan Delbert. Shirley is a biochemist and winner of the James Beard Foundation award who just happened to write a couple practical and tasty books; Cookwise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Cooking and Bakewise: The Hows and Whys of Successful Baking. Aside from her impressive resume she is a delight to listen to. Her insightful and witty anecdotes about food and why it acts the way it does when interacting with other foods were both educational and entertaining.
She covered such varied topics as why potatoes won't get soft during the baking of an au gratin to why some crème brûlées come out like scrambled eggs instead of custard. The first issue has to do with acid from such sources as vinegar and the second due to the use of beet sugar versus cane sugar in the brûlée. Her animated storytelling was engaging considering most of what she was speaking on was heady science topics pertaining to food. Overall, the evening was a hit with demonstrations explaining how to fix a rock hard mess of chocolate in a pan by adding water and so much more delivered to a packed room. I am hoping she will do more events such as this in promotion of her books. I know I will be in attendance.
As one would expect of such an event there were appetizers provided as well as Sangria and a cash bar. The Sangria was lovely with large chunks of apple inside that were particularly flavorful. The buffet-style offerings included mini spanakopitas, or spinach pitas, raspberry goat cheese tarts and deep fried ham and cheese balls. The spanakopitas were light and flaky filled with a mixture of spinach, feta, egg and herbs. It was a touch heavy on the dill for my liking but otherwise they were lovely, buttery and delicious. The tarts were a particular favorite of mine with a melt-in-your mouth crust topped with raspberry preserves and a touch of tangy goat cheese that blended perfectly. Luckily they made up for the more bland ham and cheese balls. The could have used a bit more seasoning in my opinion.
But putting aside the sampling of foods, this was a night well worth finding parking downtown and trying to locate the entrance to the National Press Club. The levity, information and engagement provided by Shirley and her lovely assistant Susan Delbert were the jewels of the evening by far.
The next DCFBHH is hosted by me (Jason) at Fishnet DC (a new seafood restaurant) in Shaw on 11/5, 6pm-8pm. It is located at Shaw metro, next to Uprising Muffins.
Please RSVP here, and keep your RSVP updated. Here is their menu and beer menu.
In celebration of Howard Homecoming weekend, Moët & Chandon hosted a brunch at STK Steakhouse & Lounge location in Dupont Circle. It was an event for the beautiful and not your average brunch crowd. Set up as more of a nightlight lounge, the complimentary champagne was flowing generously for the first half of the event. Passed hors d'oeuvres from STK's brunch menu poured from of the kitchen. Although they have your typical brunch items such as steak and eggs on their menu, you'll find it to be anything but average. My favorite on item by far was their Grilled Cheese and Smoked Bacon. Who doesn't love a grilled cheese sandwich but add some bacon to it and it's a little piece of heaven. However they didn't place the back inside of the sandwich, the strip of bacon was placed on top which maintained its juicy crispiness.
My second favorite was their smoked bbq which had a nice sweetness to it with a slight tanginess to the sauce topped with a little bit of blue cheese this little morsel gave you a nice taste of the south. I am a big fan of Tuna Tartare. It's a dish that I normally have to order if it's on the menu but most restaurants leave me disappointed. STK's unfortunately left me in the disappointed state. Although the tuna was fresh, their soy honey emulsion left little to be desired. It sounds amazing but it lacks flavor. Their Glazed Sea Scallops tasted a lot like a ceviche, however, there was nothing to help balance out the overwhelming vinaigrette dressing. The Chicken Skewers lacked flavor and were on the dry side.
I ordered the Blue Crab Potato Fritters off of the menu and although the flavor and texture was out of this world. The blue crab was lacking. It was a nice crisp fritter that tasted more like a potato fritter than blue crab with potato, and the pepperonata sauce that accompanied them was a pleasant addition
Overall the experience was pleasant; it's definitely not your average steakhouse but a great hangout spot for young professionals. Mix. Mingle. Drink. That's what STK 's brunch environment is best for in my opinion.

Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady Income To Get Bigger With Opening Of Their Lingerie Store; Supermodel Now A Rival Of Her Former Employer Victoria's Secret?
By Staff Writer | March 13, 2014 10:52 PM EDT
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady's income might become greater now that the Victoria's Secret Angel will be opening her first lingerie store in Brazil.
The 33-year-old supermodel will be partnering with lingerie manufacturer Hope as she opens her first Gisele Bundchen Intimates store in Sao Paulo this coming May. It is likewise the same month, Victoria's Secret will be distributing exclusive undergarments in Brazil.

Hope is currently in 40 countries but Bundchen is determined to help the company in its expansion goal to London, Los Angeles, and New York.
"Gisele is our best brand today. We still have lots of room for growth in Brazil, but we have to think strategically where we want to grow and we want to be a global brand," said company director Fabio Figueiredo.
Tom Brady's wife first partnered with hope in 2010. Her first collection included python-print corsets, pink and black lace campisoles, and nude garter belts which didn't exceed $80.
Bundchen might indeed help Hope gain exposure. She previously partnered with the makers of Ipanema which resulted to a $1.16 billion sales amount of the Brazilian flip flops.
However, Victoria's Secret is yet to comment about their former Angel's newest venture. For the past seven years, Bundchen has been hailed by Forbes as the top-earning supermodel. For 2013, she earned $42 million which was far from No. 2 Miranda Kerr's $7.2 million earnings.

First Listen
Maxim Wolzyn "Ringbahn"
- Words: Glenn Jackson
- Label: SVS
Intercity Express, the upcoming LP from German producer Maxim Wolzyn, is said in part to sonically portray "the complex networks of railways and tunnel systems that permeate the earth like artificial veins." One can hear these sorts of interconnected sonic passageways in "Ringbahn," a bonus cut to Wolzyn's forthcoming record which rattles and chugs with the cyclical repetition of an underground train ride. A lengthy piece of dubby techno, the production is focused on its acute sonic details, which together invite listeners further and further into the track's swirling groove as it makes its way through a nine-plus-minute runtime. Out next week via the SVS label, Wolzyn's full Intercity Express LP—which includes a remix from dub techno forerunner Deadbeat—can be streamed in full after the jump.

November 15, 2013
As differences between Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon appear to remain unresolved, the Somali constitution is clear about the delineation of powers between the two public offices and the role of parliament in such disputes.
Article 100 of the Somali constitution grants the prime minister the power to "appoint and dismiss members of the Council of Ministers" and "present the Council of Ministers and government programme before the House of the People of the Federal Parliament to seek their endorsement".
Article 90 gives the president the power to "appoint the prime minister" but not dismiss him. However, the president is granted the power "to dissolve the federal government [comprised of the prime minister and the Council of Ministers] if it does not get the required vote of confidence". Article 90 also gives the president the power to "dismiss ministers, state ministers and deputy ministers on the recommendation of the prime minister".
Article 69 gives the House of the People of the Federal Parliament the power to endorse or remove the prime minister. It says the House has the power to "give a vote of confidence in the prime minister and the Council of Ministers, and in government projects, to be conducted by a simple majority vote of the total members (50%+1)" or to "carry out a vote of no confidence in the prime minister and his deputy or deputies" by the same means.
Sabahi spoke to a number of members of parliament about this issue. Here is what they said:
Lawmaker Mohamed Abdi Yussuf said the conflict was based on how changes should be made in the administration. He said the prime minister wants a reshuffle in the administration, while the president wants the prime minister to resign so that he can name a new prime minister.
Yussuf said the prime minister is empowered by the constitution to reshuffle the cabinet, but he must bring it before parliament for approval.
He also clarified that "the president can appoint a prime minister but has no constitutional power to ask the prime minister to resign".
"The president can appoint a prime minister but has no constitutional power to ask the prime minister to resign," he said.
"The work of the prime minister is to form the government and bring it before the parliament for approval but not to seek permission from the president as stipulated in Article 100 of the constitution," Yussuf said.
Lawmaker Abdi Barre Yusuf said he and his colleagues met with the president and the prime minister, and they each explained their side of the dispute.
"The prime minister told us the president and him have disagreements on constitutional affairs, which is how the cabinet will be appointed, such as add this minister for me and similar things," Yusuf said, explaining that when the president and the prime minister were unable to agree on the reshuffling process, the president asked the prime minister to step down.
"The prime minster wants them to go to parliament together and solve their issues legally, while the president wants the prime minister to resign without going to parliament," Yusuf said.
Lawmaker Abdirahman Hosh Jibril said he thought it was illegal for the prime minister to appoint a cabinet without the counsel and the approval of the president.
"The prime minister has no right to appoint ministers and present them to parliament. The president and the prime minister have to agree on the list of minsters first," he said, although this contradicts the articles stated above.
"If they cannot agree, the last place the two leaders can settle their dispute is in parliament," he said, adding that the dispute between the two leaders is not based on constitutional affairs, but is a political dispute.
On Thursday (November 14th), Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Osman Jawari held a press conference at his office in Mogadishu and called on lawmakers not to spread rumours about the dispute between the two leaders.
He said he was confident that the parliament would settle any dispute that arises, and also urged the Somali people to remain confident in parliament's work.
"If there is a political disagreement between the leaders of the country, first they should discuss their differences and try to solve it," Jawari said. "If they fail to do that, then the national assembly will make a decision because the main reason why the parliament was formed was solve those kinds of disputes."
Reqmember that in the day of judgement every one cares just for himself and we will forget our children, mother and every kinship, so please let's think about that day and prepare for it, Oh God! save us on that day.
Fear God Who created you, and remember that you will die and be buried in a cave which is just two meters in there you will see your deeds whether good or bad, let's remember that.
Request I am a citizen of Somali and I want to request to add the constitution the limitation between the prime minister and the president and also a court which can role between them when they disagree for something, because it'not bearable that every argument between them Ethiopia, Kenya or Uganda called them to make reconciliation.
Si fcn
What should I say please because the story has ended and the prime minister has been forced to resign. I would like to pray to God to put up a just government in our country.

Seven breaches of one-child policy put wealthy Chinese couple in line of fire
Clifford Coonan
Clifford Coonan is a reporter for The Independent, based in Beijing.
Saturday 24 December 2011
A Chinese couple that flouted the country's infamous one-child law not once but seven times is facing the wrath of the general public amid claims that they are members of a wealthy elite to whom the country's strict reproduction rules do not apply.
The couple, from the booming southern province of Guangdong, had eight children, including five born illegally to surrogates, whereas the official limit stands at one child, with some exceptions that allow for two. Now, after a newspaper reported that they had spent lavishly on assisted reproduction techniques, they are under investigation from the planned birth watchdogs.
The news has caused a scandal in China, where the population control policy is widely disliked, partly because of a sense that the richest are able to circumvent it.
Guangdong provincial health bureau vice deputy chief Liao Xinbo expressed his indignation at the story - and at the use of so many surrogates. "It's like the rich should have the right to reproduce as often as they want," he said. "It's absolutely wrong. And there is no respect for life. There is a high risk with multiple pregnancies, and there is an ethical problem as well."
The couple were not identified by name but the Guangzhou Daily newspaper said they were a wealthy couple who had spent nearly one million yuan (£100,000) on IVF (in-vitro fertilisation) and two surrogate mothers. The mother was a successful businesswoman who had been unsuccessful in having children through various medical techniques. The couple tried IVF and were surprised when all eight embryos had been successful, an anonymous source told the paper.
"The couple were anxious to have babies and had no difficulty in affording test-tube babies, surrogates or living expenses, so they decided to keep them all," he said.
The couple had kept the story a secret but it was revealed when media discovered a picture of the babies — four boys and four girls — taken by a photography studio. They were born in September and October 2010.
The official probe has been widened to examine the whole process of reproductive technology, and 38 clinics are being investigated province-wide to see if there was an illegal trade in eggs and embryos, or the use of sperm from unauthorised sperm banks.
The penalty for breaking the planned birth rules is a fine, and a loss of some benefits such as free education and healthcare, but for many wealthy couples in China, this is a price worth paying. Their children are known as "black children" and they technically have no legal rights.
But many of the better off already opt for private education and healthcare, and don't mind missing out on the chronically underfunded public system.
The Guangdong provincial health bureau said "surrogacy runs counter to the regulations on the management of reproductive technologies issued by the Ministry of Health."
"We contacted the family by telephone, and the father said they had the babies overseas, not here in China, but we have to get further evidence to determine where they got the babies," said Xu Qingfeng, director of the education office of the Guangdong provincial health bureau.
China introduced its one-child policy in 1979 to restrict births in the world's most populous nation. According to data, the one-child policy has prevented 400 million people from being added to China's population. It has relaxed the rules somewhat in the past few years and some couples are now allowed to have a second child.
There is also pressure to reform the one-child policy because more than three decades of the scheme have led to a swift ageing of the populace and increased pressure on younger Chinese to care for older residents.

Additional social contact features found in iOS 5
Additional social contact integration features have been discovered in the beta version of iOS 5. AllThingsD reports that when adding a new contact in iOS 5 beta, alongside the option to add a contact's Twitter username are fields for adding Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, and Myspace usernames. Clicking on the account name opens up a Safari window with that person's page on the related service; it is unclear whether Apple has further, Twitter-like integration planned for these other services in the final release, or whether the features will be removed prior to the public launch.

SGA members resign
Kenneth Medley
Three members of the East Tennessee State University Student Government Association resigned from their positions Tuesday.
SGA Vice President Caroline Baird and Public Relations Secretary Gabby Billiot announced their resignations in person, and Sen. Jackie Neal announced her resignation by letter.
"I would like to say thank you to the student body who elected me and gave me this opportunity," Baird said.
"It has truly been an honor. Senators, thank you for being patient with me. I will miss the time that being vice president has allowed me to spend getting to know the beauty that lies in each and every single one of you."
In her resignation speech, Baird, who said she was resigning for personal reasons, spoke about the important role SGA has played in her development at ETSU.
"You have the opportunity, through this position, to share that with this campus and cause amazing change for students," Baird said. "What you individually choose to do with your position, to do with these resignations and to do with this information is a reflection of your character and yours alone. I hope that you choose wisely."
Billiot spoke about what she has experienced in the four academic years she has been involved in SGA.
"I've seen some amazing things happen in this organization, from the not-so-completed parking garage to Welcome Week concerts and, my favorite, the return of football," Billiot said. "The amount of good this organization can do for this university is an amazing thing. However, notice I said 'can do' and not 'does.' Along with seeing some great things from SGA, I have also seen, for lack of a better term, some not-so-great things from this organization."
Billiot said that the SGA has passed more legislation to change internal matters this year than the entire time she had been involved with the organization.
"When did it become about the voice of ourselves and not the voice of the students?" Billiot said. "This is why people elect us, to set aside our own personal agendas and create some change that they can see. With some exceptions, I don't think this has happened yet."
At the first SGA meeting of the semester, Sally Lee, associate vice president for student affairs at ETSU and SGA adviser, announced that five SGA members had failed to make the grades necessary for them to meet the current-term GPA requirement set forth in the SGA constitution.
Lee said that the SGA would not be reading the other letter of resignation it received during the meeting for confidentiality reasons. She also said that the SGA has no other members who failed to meet the current-term GPA requirement.
"When I originally went through this process, there were five individuals," Lee said. "We did receive a letter of resignation from one other individual in the body. We had a grade change, another one. So, that's the end of the resignations."
The SGA members who resigned did not cite the GPA requirement as the reason for their decisions.
SGA President Mike Wallace appointed Secretary of State Robby Vance to fill the vice president position and said that he and Secretary/Treasurer Alicyn York would split the duties of the public relations secretary for the remainder of the semester.
"[The appointment of a vice president] is something that I thought about for a very, very long time," Wallace said. "This decision was not made lightly. The appointment still needs to confirmed, of course, as you all know, but I really want you all to respect my decision because I really couldn't imagine working with someone else."
Wallace said that Vance has been a part of SGA for more than a year and has had the opportunity to serve the organization on the senate and in a cabinet role.
"[Vance] is a well-known and respected campus leader," Wallace said. "He's not running for election this year and has no political gain through this."
The senate will vote on Vance's appointment sometime in the upcoming weeks.

Consumer electronics maker Sony Corp., which suffered a sudden 25 percent drop in its share price in April after a profit shortfall, is catching the eye of value investors, and the stock could double to U.S. $60 within two years, Barron's reported.
In the cover story of its July 14 edition, the financial publication cited fund manager Bill Miller of Legg Mason as saying Sony is a likely beneficiary of a long-overdue recovery in Japan's economy and stock market.
"With a little help from the economy, the price conceivably could double over the next 2 years, to about $60," the report said of Sony's American Depositary Receipts. Sony ADRs closed at $32.02 in New York Stock Exchange trading on Friday.
Barron's cautioned that earnings for the Japanese company will not recover and begin growing again until sometime next year.
The article also said Sony faces trouble in its music and film businesses. It pointed to management miscues that fueled the recent financial disappointment and said the company's much-discussed convergence strategy remains a distant hope. (Reuters)
