Leicester drive-in could be saved by your vote
Updated On: Sep 18 2013 03:43:10 PM EDT
Your votes could help save a central Massachusetts drive-in.
The Leicester Triple Drive-In is one of about 400 drive-ins left across the country.
Established in 1967, the Leicester drive-in provides a nostalgic night out for families from all over New England.
Like many others, the drive-in is facing a digital dilemma.
Movie distributors will soon stop shipping out reels of 35-millimeter film, so the drive-ins will have to upgrade to expensive digital projectors.
Honda has given away 5 of the digital projectors so far, and will give away four more.
You can vote at projectdrivein.com through Saturday. The winners are announced Monday.

I am new to this Forum. I am the proud owner of a half american pit, half alapaha blue blooded bull dog. I got her last year, and she has been a great addition to my family. I also have a bull mastiff mix, and he has loved having a friend again, after being seperated from his brother.
My question and concern is that a few months ago my ex-boyfriends dog got hooked to my little girl on her first heat. I know this is very bad for the dog as it stunt the growth. We were not sure at first if she was pregnant, but it was plan to see after a month that she was. Yesterday my son called to tell me she was giving birth. I left work early, and rushed home to be there. She had only one puppy. A little girl, sweet as can be, but I am cocerned that there was only one puppy for the whole litter.
Is this normal for a first heat? Should I be worried? She ate most of her food last night, has been drinking water and went out to pee last night too. She is also nursing the puppy and took care of the after birth and cleaned her up on her own.
She seemed fine to me, but I wanted to ask someone who knew a little more about it. I have seen puppies born in the past and usually they were very large litters.
Any help or advise would be greatly appriciated.

Beit Trust Fellowships
Beit Trust
The Beit Trust offers annually a score of Postgraduate Scholarships abroad for studies or research to graduates who are domiciled in Malawi, Zambia or Zimbabwe (the beneficial area) Scholarships are taken up at a university in the United Kingdom, Ireland or South Africa, for study in a subject of the individual's choice appropriate to the needs of the beneficial area.

Yes, I have seen the Tynemouth Bishops Transcripts images on FamilySearch, and found several siblings for Elizabeth and the interesting fact that her mother was 'of Warkworth' and her father was a mariner 'of London' - some interesting research coming up! I probably should have specified in my post that I didn't find out that Elizabeth was from Tynemouth via the marriage record (I didn't make that clear). I knew that my 3x Great Grandmother Catherine Pickis was living in South Shields, Durham with an aunt and uncle (James and Dorothy Purvis) at the time of the 1851 census. I didn't know which was a sibling of one of her parents but I suspected that Dorothy was a sibling of Elizabeth. Dorothy gave her birth place as North Shields, Northumberland. I checked the IGI and there was a possibilty named Dorothy Bond who had a sister named Elizabeth. You can imagine how excited I was to discover that, yes, she was indeed Elizabeth Bond the sister of the Dorothy Bond I had found. I am so glad Catherine was staying with her aunt and uncle during the 1851 census otherwise I might have had no idea to look for Elizabeth's origins outside of London!Aillinhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829865112341726995.post-38697046366128600142013-01-02T13:03:58.546+11:002013-01-02T13:03:58.546+11:00Thanks Jill, I was so excited to finally know Eliz...Thanks Jill, I was so excited to finally know Elizabeth's maiden name and it has opened a whole new line to research - I'm glad I started genealogy early, I'll probably be at it the rest of my life! :)Aillinhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2829865112341726995.post-82025099968928970572013-01-01T20:36:30.664+11:002013-01-01T20:36:30.664+11:00New Year Greetings, Aillin, and thank you for resp...New Year Greetings, Aillin, and thank you for responding to the geneameme.

NYT Poaches Pulitzer Prize-Winning AP Reporter Matt Apuzzo
As is so often the case, Capital New York media reporter Joe Pompeo got the jump today on a major, simultaneous internal announcement by Associated Press and the New York Times. AP investigative star Matt Apuzzo – who, with Adam Goldman, Eileen Sullivan and Chris Hawley won a 2011 Pulitzer for exposing troublesome NYPD surveillance tactics – is leaving the wire service and will start at the paper in the new year.
Pompeo has embedded both announcements in full. We thought it would be fun to whittle these missives down to the nouns and adjectives principally used to describe this departing-arriving star:
AP memo: Whip-smart; intellectually aggressive; drive; discipline; good judgment; wisdom.
NYT memo: Gifted; natural collaborator.

Pretty sweet draws
Recent history tells us that there are very few good draws for 12th Region boys and girls teams in the state basketball tournaments, but the 12th fared pretty well today when the KHSAA's Butch Cope pulled the ping-pong balls for this year's Sweet Sixteen tourneys.
In the Boys Sweet Sixteen, the 12th Region was paired with the 8th Region for a Thursday afternoon game. According to the latest Litkenhous Ratings, the top-rated team in the 12th, defending champion Lincoln County, is a notch above the highest-ranked team in the 8th, Shelby County. The rest of the top five teams in each region have very similar ratings: Simon Kenton, Anderson County, South Oldham and North Oldham in the 8th and McCreary Central, Somerset, Wayne County and Boyle County in the 12th.
Defending 8th Region champ Oldham County was beaten by 5-14 Danville on opening night, but Oldham is ranked only seventh in its region.
In the Girls Sweet Sixteen, the 12th is matched with the 3rd Region in a Wednesday night game. Again, the current Litkenhous Ratings show that the top five teams in the 3rd: Muhlenberg North, Ohio County, Owensboro Catholic, Owensboro and Apollo; are very comparable to the top five teams in the 12th: Casey County, Rockcastle County, Wayne County, Lincoln County and Southwestern. Muhlenberg North and Wayne are the defending champions.
Remember, the girls tournament is first this year. It will be played March 12-15, followed by the boys tournament March 19-22. Here are the first-round pairings for each, in bracket order:
March 12-15 at Bowling Green
Wednesday, March 12
7th Region vs. 13th Region, 1 p.m.; 16th Region vs. 14th Region, 2:30 p.m.; 1st Region vs. 6th Region, 7:30 p.m.; 12th Region vs. 3rd Region, 9 p.m.
Thursday, March 13
9th Region vs. 2nd Region, 1 p.m.; 15th Region vs. 5th Region, 2:30 p.m.; 8th Region vs. 4th Region, 7:30 p.m.; 11th Region vs. 10th Region, 9 p.m.
March 19-22 at Lexington
Wednesday, March 19
2nd Region vs. 11th Region, noon; 6th Region vs. 3rd Region, 1:30 p.m.; 7th Region vs. 15th Region, 6:30 p.m.; 9th Region vs. 5th Region, 8 p.m.
13th Region vs. 14th Region, noon; 8th Region vs. 12th Region, 1:30 p.m.; 1st Region vs. 4th Region, 6:30 p.m.; 10th Region vs. 16th Region, 8 p.m.

Senate Republicans blocked President Obama's "Buffett Rule," a measure that would impose a higher tax rate on the nation's wealthy residents.
The proposal failed in a 54-45 Monday. Democrats weren't able to secure the 60 votes required to keep debating the measure.
Under the Buffet Rule, America's top earners would pay at least 30 percent in taxes.
President Obama criticized Monday's vote, saying Republicans chose "once again to protect tax breaks for the wealthiest few Americans at the expense of the middle class."
"It's just plain wrong that millions of middle-class Americans pay a higher share of their income in taxes than some millionaires and billionaires," he charged.
But Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., said the measure was nothing more than Democrats' attempt to draw attention away from issues important to the public.
"This legislation will do nothing with regard to job creation, with regard to gas prices, with regard to economic recovery," he said.

Gallery's invitation to deface the Bible brings obscene response
A publicly funded exhibition is encouraging people to deface the Bible in the name of art — and visitors have responded with abuse and obscenity.
The show includes a video of a woman ripping pages from the Bible and stuffing them into her bra, knickers and mouth.
The open Bible is a central part of Made in God's Image, an exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art (Goma) in Glasgow. By the book is a container of pens and a notice saying: "If you feel you have been excluded from the Bible, please write your way back into it."
The exhibit, Untitled 2009, was proposed by the Metropolitan Community Church...The exhibition has been created by the artists Anthony Schrag and David Malone, in association with organisations representing gay Christians and Muslims. Mr Schrag, the gallery's artist in residence, said that he did not believe in God, but that his research for the £7,000 show had underlined his respect for people of faith.
Faith in that "there's a taxpayer sucker born every minute" probably. I'm pleased to note it was both Christians and Muslims behind the show though I wonder why there was only one book open to be defaced...

The accident happened before 8 p.m. Monday and La. Highway 38 west of Greensburg.
Troopers say Evan Vides was westbound when his pickup failed to negotiate a curve, left the roadway and struck several trees.
Vides was pronounced dead at the scene by the St. Helena Parish Coroner's Office.
He was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
Trooper Nick Manale says alcohol use is suspected as a factor in the accident.

Bruins in Newtown to help with healing
NEWTOWN — The Boston Bruins plan to become the latest ambassadors from the world of sports to visit Newtown in the wake of December's massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The Bruins have scheduled a series of events in town today, including a street-hockey clinic, a clinic with the high school's hockey team, an autograph session with children and a meeting with first responders who will be given autographed and framed jerseys.

Here's my guess about the problem :
I forgot to upgrade my installation before dumping my database. So, on the new server, I had a 2.2.29 install with a 2.2.25 database.
I upgraded the new install from 2.2.29 to 2.2.30 and hope it will do the trick. The process went fine.
Just after the upgrade, a process called grpconv ran and ate as much as 70% memory. I wonder if this process tried to run when I saved changes in ISPC. It would partly explain the hangs.
I hope I solved the problem with the upgrade, but I would like to read if somebody more competent than me could propose an explanation.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita's new airport terminal is on schedule to open next spring.
Airport officials say construction began on the new building in October 2012 and the building is three-fourths complete.
Jim Armour, the terminal's resident engineer, told members of the Wichita Airport Authority this week that the site is expected to be finished by March 31, 2015.
The Wichita Eagle reports the airport's name will also then change from Wichita Mid-Continent Airport to the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport.
When the new terminal opens, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and Southwest will each lease two gates, and Allegiant Airlines will lease one.
An additional three gates will give the airport room to grow.

A soldier in harm's way has no greater ally than other soldiers watching his or her back. That trust is the key component of a good unit. Usually, the bond of trust that only members of the military share is built during training and missions. That trust is priceless in theater, but what about other environments? Dark alleys, sketchy neighborhoods, the bleachers of an away game – soldiers have that covered. But, who has your back in cyber space?
In the next few years, the U.S. military could field a portable, laser backpack device developed by the University of California, Berkeley, which will provide three-dimensional maps of buildings.
The United States faces the likelihood of a "destructive cyber attack" in the future as malevolent digital capabilities proliferate among a range of adversaries, says the head of the U.S. Cyber Command, Gen. Keith B. Alexander, USA. He warns that nation-states and other malefactors now "can use this as a way of applying their will and power against our country in an asymmetric manner."
The U.S. Marine Corps now has its first fully assembled Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) system and is working to overcome past difficulties to put the asset in warfighters' hands. Plans to upgrade multiple radar capabilities with the single system hit some snags over the past few years, but developers are back on track after finding solutions to the problems.
Most people distrust the security of all websites equally. But in reality, Web devotees can take simple precautions to ensure their safety while researching, shopping, downloading or playing browser games such as Texas Hold'em.
While anecdotes abound about job opportunities lost over something posted online, new research reveals that the risk is greater than previously known. One survey revealed that 70 percent of recruiters have eliminated a candidate based on online text, photos or videos.
Give two cents—get big prizes. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), in partnership with ChallengePost, launched Challenge.gov on September 7 at the Gov 2.0 Summit 2010 in Washington, D.C. The free online challenge platform invites the general public to propose solutions to government challenges, including the U.S. Army's push for new training and simulation tools utilizing artificial intelligence.
The Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) is working to keep U.S. citizens safe from dirty bombs by conducting exercises on the other side of the world. Members representing the initiative recently wrapped up a three-scenario tabletop exercise in Mongolia to help the country prevent terrorists from obtaining its nuclear or radiological material.
Advances in cyberspace and missile technology are extending China's military reach.
The U.S. Army received a prototype that will eventually integrate current and future air and missile defense capabilities into one overall command and control (C2) system.

Wow, another franchise and this time it is our very own franchise of the worldwide hit The Voice.
As promise, I would cover the show just like what I usually do in the US Version.
It may be a little late because I think, we've had 6 nights of Blind Auditions already, so I thought of just squeezing all of the passers on the first six nights of Blind Auditions into one post. Yeah?
To be honest, the expectations on this franchise are somewhat high for me because other franchises were keeping it up to the level of sophistication the US Version has.
The coaches itself, I think the Philippines' version live it up to what we hope for. To see THE Lea Salonga, Bamboo, Apl.De.Ap and this generation's most awarded artist, Sarah Geronimo as coaches were already remarkable.
With that being said, I know some were annoyed with them being too over acting, choosy, bipolar, weird choices etc, I am too. Haha. But it is what it is. But Blind Auditions were subjective actually, it would always depend on what the coaches want, like, feel or even prefer.
I find joy watching Ms. Lea having fun in every auditions, though at some point I find it really weird that she always turns her chair on not so good artists and to some of the most compelling auditions, she don't. But yeah, like what I said, the whole Blind Audition is really subjective.
Sarah may be a bit choosy, but I guess that could pass on an excuse that she's the youngest and may be she's really looking for artists that gives her a different kind of "push" factor.
Bamboo is so hot. Haha, I know it's given but I think Bamboo gives the most fine criticisms among all of them. Though not usually spot on because maybe he was trying his best not to discourage the non-passers.
Apl.De.Ap. Yeah. He's there. Haha
Now, on the staging and lights. I really, really find them very, very, disappointing. The chairs, the stage and even the audience. Can we have a more genuine reaction from the audience, I mean if you watch the other franchises, they let the audience to actually cheer, clap, have fun and enjoy the audition on their own because that could actually give a different vibe for the coaches. They will be more intrigued. Also, I don't like the silhouette drama and the long silence before the artists would perform, what was that?
With that being said, I hope they could live up to the Battle Rounds and Live performances and give us a more compelling styling and staging. Yeah, the Auditions were taped already so don't expect them to change clothes for more weeks to come.
Now, let me share to you my point of views of some of those who passed already.
* * *
(1) Thor Dulay – I have nothing
- Seriously? Thor could pull off a song better than this.
(2) Corazon dela Cruz – Usok
- Forgettable.
(3) Lorenzana Siblings – Need you now
- Guji looks and sounded like Sam Milby no? Eh. Preferred Grace over Guji, but yeah. But Guji could work the stage better than Grace.
(4) Sir Lord Lumibao – I'll be
- Ok.
(5) Moira dela Torre – Hallelujah
- A Bamboo song and Bamboo himself is there? Uyy, strong! It was decent, almost forgettable.
(6) Cara Manglapus – At last
- This needed soul and power and I don't think she had it. Sorry.
* * *
(1) Daryl Shy – Tatsulok
- Why did I find it like he was just jamming with his beer mates at the corner street of Tondo? Eh.
(2) Chien Berbana – Sayang na sayang
- Eh. Sayang!
(3) Taw Muhammad – Ironic
- Probably my favorite on the first week. There is a sense of artistry on her that I can't wait to see what Lea and her could do to outperform herself.
(4) Radha Tinsay – What's love got to do
- It's Radha for God's sake and she just nailed this one. I hope she and Mitoy would battle it out in Battle Rounds. Haha, powerful performance that would be.
(5) Mitoy Yonting – Bakit ako mahihiya
- A bit over the top. Could work on his theatrics.
* * *
(1) Junji Arias – I'll be there for you
- Well at least he sounded rock especially with his song choice, so yeah.
(2) Eva delos Santos – Proud Mary
- Eh. Show girl?
(3) Morisette Amon – Love on top
- Decent. I don't know, but I actually like this one. Of course, it didn't match that of Beyonce but this song needs a vibe and stage confidence that I thought she pulled it off in those aspects. This is way better than those other auditions. Plus, Bamboo like this song. Haha can you make a cover Bamboo? Haha
(4) Michaellen Temporado – Summertime
- Soul, yes. But I wasn't buying it that much. With that being said, he really has that nice tone and voice. Maybe, a different song choice would do it for me.
(5) Gabriel Ramos – Tulak ng bibig
- Less theatrics but pretty nice voice. If only he was a bit consistent.
(6) Hans Dimayuga – Stand by me
- He did too much on a simple song for me, I guess he was aiming for artistry and authenticity. But yeah, too much for me.
* * *
(1) Deborah Victa – American Boy
- Eh. Forgettable also.
(2) Lee Grane Maranan – Anak
- Is her fate will be like that of KZ? An early favorite and most probably could win the whole competition. With that being said, I am not jumping to the Lee Grane bandwagon as I thought her version of Angel is way, I mean WAY better than her audition piece. What scares me with her is that she has the tendency to change the songs on her favor to make it authentic and to showcase artistry but what if the song didn't require a lot of changing? Hmm. But she really has a nice voice.
(3) Isa Fabregas – Lean on me
- What? Haha. She and Deborah could faced it off on the Battle Rounds. Same style? Almost same tone?
(4) Angelique Alcantara – Diamonds
- Rihanna? Eh. She didn't even pull a second rate Rihanna version eh. But, maybe, maybe Bamboo could do wonders with her because I believe that she has a nice tone as well.
(5) Cordovales Father and Son – Pagsubok
- While I prefer the son over the father, the father actually had a lot more power. Yeah.
(6) Don Michael Perez – I'm yours
- Almost sounding like Mraz, a tricky one. But I must say, he could do good and better performances if guided well because he has a compelling voice.

Good news/bad news. The good news is we found your nose ring!! The bad news is that it was in somebody's McDonald's breakfast burrito in Lawrenceville, Georgia. So we might not be eating another one of those for a while, because yuck.
Two Arizona teenagers faced a choice after getting into a fight at Westwood High in Mesa: They could either be suspended for nine days ... or hold hands in front of everybody. Obviously, they chose the latter, and now the school is catching flak for it.
Maybe karma is real -- the man in this video, Bill Morgan, was in a car accident. Then he developed a heart condition. He was allergic to the medicine doctors gave him to treat it and had a heart attack. In fact, his heart stopped for 14 minutes, and he went into a coma. They were about to pull the plug on his life support when things turned around.
It's Black Friday, and you know what that means -- hiding in your home away from the world while people desperately claw at each other's faces to buy a Wii U for their kid. The madness is not for everybody. Some of us like to eat cold turkey all day and wonder how a person could be so hungover. For those of us who would rather spend time with our TVs watching 'Star Wars' than rioting over discounted athletic socks, we present these Black Friday memes to make you feel like you've made the right choice.
'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2' is out this weekend, and rising up out of the waves of tween tears is Robert Pattinson ...who is PSYCHED! Here's a hi-larious supercut of Robert Pattinson not-so-subtly hating on the film
It's kind of a wonder Bill Dance caught any fish at all. Dance, a Tennessee native, hosts his own fishing show, 'Bill Dance Outdoors,' and things are always going wrong.

What is pre-med?
Pre-med is not a major. Rather, it is a course of study aimed at preparing you for medical school. There are prerequisite courses required for every medical school that you will be taking in conjunction with your degree and university graduation requirements. However, being pre-med isn't just about taking the right courses. Pre-med students must also gain the necessary experience that each medical school looks for. This includes extra-curricular activities, shadowing physicians and/or other health care professionals, and preparing for and taking the MCAT.
Types of Medical Practice
There are three different types of medical practice to consider:
What should I major in?
As a pre-med student, you can major in anything. There is not a specific major that all pre-med students must have. Medical schools only care that you do well in your major and in your pre-med coursework. Think about what interests you and what might be a good alternative option to medical school should your plans change. Visit the Career Center at UW Bothell if you need help with major selection.

The brainchild of Lindsey Scannapieco, Films on Fridges was created as a way to animate a vacant lot in a creative way while celebrating the Olympics. Scannapieco was helped out by her business partner Mat Triebner as well as Emma Rutherford, an architecture student at London Met University, who turned the wacky vision into a reality. The pop up cinema is composed of a grand stand of seats in front of a blow up screen surrounded by a frame of discarded fridge doors. Fridges were also used to create bench seats that were placed around the vacant lot for people to sit on and enjoy the sights. Another wall of fridge doors frames the concession area and is adorned with fridge magnets, letting people express themselves through words and messages.
All of the fridges were supplied by Sims Recycling Solutions, a recycling company in Newport. Sims hopes to educate moviegoers that fridges and other appliances and machines can be recycled and reused. Accordingly, at the end of the pop up cinema, Sims will pick up all the fridges and recycle them. The festival, which started on July 27th, is screening sports inspired films like Rocky, Cool Runnings, Chariots of Fire, documentaries, indy classics and more. Screenings will continue through August 13th rain or shine and tickets can be bought through wegottickets.com for £10.

As the field of Computer Science has grown, the syllabus of the
introductory Computer Science course has changed significantly. No
longer is it a simple introduction to programming or a tutorial on
computer concepts and applications. Rather, it has become a survey of
the field of Computer Science, touching on a wide variety of topics
from digital circuits to human- computer interaction.
Without sufficient resources, students can be overwhelmed by this
broad range of topics. With sufficient resources and an interface to
tame the potential flood of resources, they can better comprehend the
class topics. Resources that benefit students include
- the course guide;
– an extensive, well-linked, syllabus;
– blackboards, transcriptions, and instructor's notes from each class;
– more in-depth notes on topics prepared by students; and
– questions and tips from other students (with answers and further comments from the instructor).
This paper describes the design and creation of such a web of
resources "on the fly," while the course is being taught. The design
and creation of this web touches on many issues, including mechanisms
for convincing students to use the web; the balance between online
hypertext and printed documents; problems and benefits of live update
(the collection of resources changes frequently, as each class period
generates new resources); the roles of audio and video; and, most
importantly, student reactions.

- A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary. (Thomas Carruthers)
– The teacher must derive not only the capacity, but the desire, to observe natural phenomena. In our system, she must become a passive, much more than an active, influence, and her passivity shall be composed of anxious scientific curiosity and of absolute respect for the phenomenon which she wishes to observe. The teacher must understand and feel her position of observer: the activity must lie in the phenomenon. (Maria Montessori)
– We must view young people not as empty bottles to be filled, but as candles to be lit. (Robert H. Shaffer)
From the text:
The teachers' instructional practices were more heterogeneous
after they had collaborated with us for 2 years. Differences were
apparent in the extent to which the teachers expected students'
to justify their reasoning, posed questions to understand stu-
dents' solution processes, expected students to listen to and make
judgments about others' explanations, and encouraged multiple
solutions. All but one of the teachers had previously used the tra-
ditional textbook series as the primary basis for their instruction.
Three now relied primarily on the reform textbook series and the
other three used the two series in combination. It was also no-
ticeable that only two of the teachers continued to use textbooks
as blueprints for instruction. The remaining four teachers mod-
ified and adapted textbook lessons based on their understanding
of their students' reasoning. Despite these differences, we were
able to identify some general patterns in their teaching. For ex-
ample, there was an overall shift away from demonstrating pro-
cedures and toward leading whole class discussions that focused
on students' solutions.

Much attention has been given to the content of
introdutory computer science courses, but based on a perusal of
introductory textbooks, it appears that somewhat less attention has
been given to the programming exercises to be used in these courses.
Programming exercises can be modified to provide a better educational
experience for the student. An examlpe of how atypical programming
exercises were incorporated into an introductory programming language
course is described.

2011 may be the watershed year that indicates just how sustainable Africa's growth is, as 10 sub-Saharan countries plan to hold elections. Micheal Lalor, a director at Ernst & Young SA, tells us what the key considerations for investors should be in the face of the upcoming polls and also where to start if you are planning an African foray.
Ernst and Young recently launched Africa Interactive™, a map-based software tool that will enable your clients to easily access crucial information that they need to make informed business decisions. Is accessing reliable and up-to-date information on Africa still a real challenge for international investors?
Once one starts digging a bit, there is actually a large quantity of Africa-related data available. The challenge more often is that the data is fragmented across various sources and so can be difficult to collate and present in a coherent and meaningful way. Africa Interactive™ has a two-fold capability to help our clients address this challenge. First, it provides an information portal, aggregating a range of indicators, indices and other data from various sources together for easy access. Second, we have found that the visual presentation of the information via the map-based interface is intuitive for most people and provides a commonly understood reference point for discussion on investment decisions. Having said this, Africa Interactive™ is only a tool. It is most effective when incorporated into a facilitated workshop-type environment, in which we can more actively work with our clients to shape the information that is most relevant to them and to stress test their thinking and strategies for Africa.
There are existing complexities to doing business in Africa despite the current positive outlook. How has Ernst & Young positioned itself to help clients deal with challenges such as the vast geography, the different market sizes and business regulations?
Having access to credible and meaningful information is one thing, but business is conducted physically in and across Africa. Our response to the ever increasing interest in and investment by our clients into and across Africa has been to transform our organisation across the sub-Saharan region from a confederation of individual practices (still the prevailing professional services model) to a single integrated African firm, which operates as one business across the continent. What this means for us internally is a single governance and management structure for Africa, a single, harmonised partner compensation system across the entire region, and greater mobility by people and teams across the region. For our clients, this means that we are not only able to provide first-hand knowledge and experience in addressing business challenges across the continent, but are also able to provide a strongly co-ordinated pan-African service via a single point of contact. In this way our clients do not have to deal with various people in different countries and we can ensure a consistent standard of quality across the continent.
What are the top issues that potential investors should take into consideration before venturing on the continent?
Despite the unprecedented interest and excitement about Africa's growth prospects, the continent remains a challenging place in which to do business. Perhaps the most obvious point is that although 'Africa' is often lumped together in comparisons with emerging markets like India and China, it is, of course, not a country but a continent. At a broad level, the sheer size and diversity of the continent is daunting. The continent comprises over 50 different countries with 50 different sets of rules, regulations, stakeholders and market dynamics. The complexity of navigating so many different markets is compounded by the fact that very few of these individual markets are likely, in and of themselves, to provide the kind of scale, in the shorter term at least, that makes them economically viable - in sub-Saharan Africa, it is arguably only South Africa and perhaps Nigeria as standalone markets that currently offer any kind of prospect of reasonable and sustainable scale for many companies.
We would therefore recommend a thorough process of fact-based due diligence on different markets, starting with sector-specific tax, legal and regulatory factors (which are often material enabling or constraining factors in the African context), but also not necessarily restricting the process to national data and boundaries. The scale opportunities may sometimes be in focusing, for example, on urban conglomerations or corridors, cross-border economic blocs, cultural groupings and consumer sub-segments.
Because of the imperative to both manage complexity and achieve relative scale across the region, we would also recommend the early development of a regional operating model that ensures effective and integrated management of the portfolio of African markets (even if this is conceptual at first, it will help inform future investment decisions). In other words, it is often more about the ability to effectively manage across boundaries; management of the entire African network becomes more important than managing the individual countries.
Critical questions about how sustainable Africa's growth is over the long-term have been raised. What factors can make the growth performance sustainable?
Given the troubled history of many African countries post-independence, scepticism is perhaps understandable. However, to address the question of sustainability one needs to appreciate the longer term process of economic reform that has occurred across much of the continent since the end of the Cold War. Inflation was brought under control, foreign debt and budget deficits reduced, state-owned enterprises privatised, regulatory and legal systems strengthened, and many African economies were opened up to international trade. This considerably improved business environment, combined with a sustained commodity boom and infrastructure investment, all contributed to an average annual growth rate of about 6% in sub-Sahara Africa between 2002 and 2008. Although there was a dip in 2009, as a result of global recession, growth remained positive, and the IMF's most recent forecast is for 5% growth in 2010 and 5.5% in 2011. So the economic foundation for sustainable growth has been laid; from a purely economic perspective, and with the continuing demand for Africa's resources, infrastructure investment, growing consumerism and urbanisation, and a rapidly developing tertiary sector, we certainly don't see the steam running out.
However, the critical factor in ensuring long term sustainability of economic performance will be ongoing political reform and good governance. The annual Ibrahim Index of African Governance, which provides a comprehensive analysis of the quality of governance across the continent, shows a steady improvement over the past decade. This reflects a significant decline in armed conflict and an increase in political liberalisation. In this regard, 2011 may be the watershed year that indicates just how sustainable Africa's growth really is, because of the number of important democratic elections being held across sub-Saharan Africa. These include Benin, Uganda, Chad, Madagascar, Zambia, Cameroon, the DRC, Liberia, Gabon, and, perhaps most importantly, Nigeria. There is also the referendum in southern Sudan on independence.
What investment trends can we expect to see in 2011?
In the decade between 1998 and 2008, FDI into Africa quadrupled. There has been a dip in the last 2 years, but not to the extent that some may have expected, given the global economic recession and challenges in the Euro zone in particular.
In 2011, we anticipate that investment flows both into and across Africa will pick up. Our experience from our client base across most countries is an overwhelming interest in investment opportunities in Africa.
The interest in Africa from emerging markets such as China and India are well documented, but we are also seeing increased interest from countries like Brazil, Russia, Malaysia, South Korea and the UAE. Similarly, despite the continued economic slowdown, we also anticipate significant increases in private investment flows from some of the developed markets, perhaps most notably from large US-based multinationals – Wal-Mart, Coca Cola and IBM are among those that have recently announced substantial investment into Africa. These kinds of investments will also help accelerate the ongoing diversification beyond commodities to infrastructure, retailing, telecoms and financial services.
Again though, political risk will remain a key consideration for investors for a long time to come, so this optimism is underscored by the hope that the election processes mentioned earlier will run smoothly and continue the positive trend of ongoing political reform.

Less than a week after a jury could not reach a verdict on a rape charge against a New York police officer, another employee of the NYPD is under arrest and charged with rape and a long list of other charges. What's more, the suspect in the latest case works in New York City public schools as a school safety officer.
In that position, he is not authorized to have a firearm, but the rape he's charged with was done at gunpoint, according to investigators.
"[He] ends up getting in a dispute, beats the crap out of her, knocks her to the ground and rapes her," retired detective supervisor and PIX11 News contributor Wally Zeins said in his assessment of what police sources describe as a brutal rape that took place in School Safety Officer Tommy Johnson's Ridgewood, Queens apartment on Saturday.
On Sunday, the alleged victim, Johnson's 35 year-old former girlfriend, filed charges. Around 2:15 Monday morning, Johnson was under arrest, charged with rape, menacing, assault, and illegally possessing two guns in his apartment. Nobody came to the door of that apartment in the 300 block of Woodward Avenue when PIX11 News came knocking Monday. Johnson shares the second floor home with his mother.
His neighbors, for their part, were visibly stunned to learn the charges against the six-year veteran school safety officer. "He was a nice guy," Rosa Santiago said about Johnson, 28, who lives directly across the hall in small apartment building that houses just two apartments per floor. "He'd just say 'hi' every time I see him. He says, "Hi, how you doing," Santiago said. "If I have something to bring up[stairs], he'd do that."
It's not clear to which school Officer Johnson is assigned. The NYPD told PIX11 News that, as a policy, it does not release information about a suspect's place of employment unless it's directly pertinent to the suspect's arrest. Also, the Department of Education said to PIX11 News that since Johnson is an employee of the NYPD, it cannot release information about where he works, even though he works within the DOE's system.
One thing that is clear is that in the two months preceding Johnson's arrest, a series of employees at New York City Public Schools have been arrested for sex crimes. In fact, over the past nine weeks, the seven arrests have come at an average of one every eight-and-a-half days.
The situation prompted the Department of Education to review all of its investigations over the last decade, and to fire four employees who had been investigated during that period, but who were not in custody for the infractions with which they were charged. The DOE is in proceedings to fire four additional employees, who have union protected status which allows them to dispute efforts to remove them.
This latest case, however, is the first of this year involving an NYPD employee in the school system. It has at least one experienced sex crimes investigator calling for change, and that call is expected to become a chorus once it's learned at which school Officer Tommy Johnson works.
"There is some sort of problem within the system," Detective Zeins said. "Especially with the backgrounds [of applicants]. There should be evaluations."
Late Monday afternoon, Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hines added more felony charges against Johnson. Hines added burglary, sexual misconduct, criminal trespass and harrassment to the previous charges of rape, menacing, assault, and illegal possession of firearms.
Johnson's arrest comes four days after a judge accepted a jury's partial verdict on sex charges against NYPD officer Michael Pena. The jury could not reach a consensus on rape charges in the case, but convicted Pena, 27, on a variety of other sex crime charges. When Pena is sentenced next month, he could still get life in prison.
Officer Tommy Johnson goes before a judge Monday night for his first court appearance.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

It was a gray day and modest crowd at PrideFest Milwaukee 2011's Rainbow Stage where Ryan Cassata Music performed. I was initially focused on capturing the band with no "noise" from the unsightly location where the stage was positioned until I suddenly I began to see it differently. Here I am meeting 17 year old Transgender (in layman's terms a female by body makeup that lives as a male) music artist Ryan Cassata for the first time on a makeshift stage on top of a basketball court and in front of the women's bathroom. The stage's backrop cleverly covers the "wo" in "women" in large print below the "RESTROOMS" signage as well as the "wo" in "women" written next to the symbol/silhouette for woman. Anyway, those are moments that I wish I was a much better photographer.
Those at PrideFest Milwaukee that didn't wander over to the Rainbow Stage at 2:30 PM on Saturday missed out on a true inspirational and musical treat. Plus, there's no mistaking that Ryan Cassata is a trailblazer. Besides music, Ryan has been a champion within the Transgender community and has traveled around the country speaking to people as an educator and advocate. He's even landed appearances on CW's The Tyra Show and CNN's Larry King Live.
The Theme Of Human Kind Preview by Ryan Cassata
On Saturday, however, it was just about music in celebration of PrideFest. Ryan writes all of his own songs and performed the ones from his latest album "The Theme of Humankind" (available on iTunes and Amazon or through his merchandise site) released on May 28, 2011 through his own record label Artemendous Records. Some songs are about love and heartbreak in relationships while others have more of a political edge surrounding peace and universal understanding. When, I asked Ryan about the song he performed about bullying "In My Hands" he said, "I get a lot of fan mail from all over the world. A lot of them are GLBT kids that are getting bullied so severely that they're suicidal and no one's doing anything about it. So, I wrote this song for them, to perk up their spirits, and also I wrote it for the bullies to tell them to stop and have a wake up call."
Check out my interview with Ryan Cassata and his band mates Dave Suchmann, Josh Seidman, Kenny Truhn, and Steve Battline.

Foundation Side Tables by Fort Standard
American design studio Fort Standard have created the Foundation side tables.
Description from the designers:
The Teak and Marble parts which compose the tables rely on each other's inherent material qualities in order to function as a unit. The CNC Water-jet stone provides a solid foundation giving rise to the table's wood surface and support structure which is crafted using traditional wood working techniques and joinery. The tables are designed with the intention to speak to the fact that the lighter wood framework is rendered helpless without its weighty stone counterparts and vice versa.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
