YIELD: serves 4 to 6
Drain the feta and place it in a medium bowl. Grind the spices coarsely, if desired. Heat a small skillet over high heat. Add the coriander, cumin, and caraway seeds, and shake the pan continuously until the spices start to release their aroma, about 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a bowl and pour in the olive oil. Add a pinch of coarse salt. Swirl the spices in the oil and steep for a few minutes. Pour the mixture over the feta. You can even work it in with your hands, gently crumbling the feta, if desired.
Wash and dry the herbs. Trim the stems, but leave them intact. Place the herbs on a large platter in a few fluffy piles. Place the walnuts on the platter, along with the radishes and lavash. Transfer the feta to the platter and garnish it with coarse salt.
For a single serving, pick up a few stalks of herbs. Tear the flatbread into a manageable piece and stuff it with the herbs, walnuts, a small piece of cheese, and a radish or two. Fold and eat like a sandwich.
Note: To remove bitterness from the walnuts, place them in a bowl, add boiling water to cover and a pinch of salt, and soak from 1 hour up to overnight. Before serving, drain and rinse until the water runs clear.

COLLEGE PARK -- Matt Chiller had sent out the word to the University of Maryland, College Park to attend a meeting to help the presidential campaign of Al Gore. About 35,000 students are on this campus.
Twenty are at the meeting.
Chiller, a senior from Massachusetts who has been bitten hard by the political bug, is pleased.
"These are the people you want," he says. "You get one or two people active out of this, they'll get you a ton of people."

Remember DeAndre Kane? A one-time teammate of DeJuan Blair and D.J. Kennedy at Schenley? Jamie Dixon always liked Kane. He recruited him despite his academic struggles. Originally Kane was supposed to be part of (someone's) 2009 class. But he needed prep school so it became 2010 when he actually was a freshman at Marshall. He's a graduate transfer. He has one more year of eligibility left, and it came down to USC and Pitt. The 6-4 guard has decided that his years of knowing Dixon and coming home was the pick. The Marshall transfer, who hails from Pittsburgh, told CBSSports.com that he will commit to Jamie Dixon and the Panthers this weekend on a visit. Kane returned from a trip to USC this past weekend, and also considered Saint Mary's, but said the chance to play at home and in the ACC was too much to pass up. "It's a perfect situation for me," Kane told CBSSports.com. Kane averaged 15.1 points and seven assists last season for the Thundering Herd… He provides offense, but this is still a gamble in my view. Kane clashed at times with head coach Tom Herrion. And when Kane announced that he was going to transfer for his final season of eligibility, Herrion's statement suggested that it was with relief to see him go. "After meeting with DeAndre, I have decided it is in our program's and his best interest that he seek opportunities elsewhere," said Herrion. "We appreciate his contributions to our team and wish him the best in his future." Okay, more than simply relief. So, it's somewhat surprising that Dixon would take on a player that clashed with a coach he knows and is close to. But, again, Dixon has known and recruited Kane for years. I would imagine he thinks he can control/temper the kid. I realize it isn't a huge chance being taken since Kane is only at Pitt for this year. I just worry about the issues of chemistry with regards to Kane. Not his talent, energy or even desire.

I've had these boots for 5 years and just this winter they finally leaked a little. I wear them everyday in the wet/cold season training sled dogs. They are a little heavy, but in 5 winters my feet have not been cold or wet, am desperately trying to find them again, best boot I've ever had!! Full review
Northfield Winter Pac Boots
These boots are warm no doubt. I look forward to tromping through soggy, slushy snow, or spring time trail funk. These boots are definitely comfortable. Now the reason for the missing star, the sizes run a bit small. They could use an insole also. The included liner is awesome, warm and supportive, but the arch support is lacking. Also the sole is perfect for clamping on snow shoes, or crampons, and work perfectly for ice cold dirt. Only prob, the sole is to hard for packed ice and snow and gives… Full review
Mount Logan
Good overall top grain leather boot. Got it on sale at Sierra Trading Post. Great value at this price point. Great support and very nice vibram sole with loads of traction. Lacing eyelets are durable. Lacing hooks could be improved upon but not enough to warrant any complaints yet. Waterproof is good up above the ankle because the tongue separates from the rest of the boot at that point. tested it by walking into creeks. Didn't not really need to break-in but did it anyways out of habit and use. Full review
I love these boots! They are the most comfortable shoes/boots I have ever owned. Great on the trail and just working around the yard. I have had them for over 2 years and want another pair, but can't find the same model. I truly believe they are the most comfortable boot I have owned in the last 25 years of hiking. Full review
Waterproof Insulated Sorel
I recently purchased a pair of Kamik Sorel boots. The first pair separated where the boot met the uppers. I wore these boots daily for almost a month before this happened. I then returned them to where I purchased them and recieved a new pair now these to have separated in the same place. I have not yet taken these back,due to the fact it's a 100 mile round trip and gas is 3.50 per gallon, I don't go for just one thing. The boots are warm, but wet feet isn't a good thing and since I work outdoors… Full review

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto have spent their first year in office undermining civil rights and operating with "rampant impunity", two human rights groups alleged Wednesday (April 23rd).
The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH) said Kenyan authorities "have attempted to clamp down on dissenting voices, either through the adoption of restrictive legislation aimed at further regulating the [non-governmental organisation] or media sectors."
The groups also condemned "violent police crackdowns on demonstrators" and alleged "judicial harassment of protesters and human rights defenders", AFP reported.
The first year of Jubilee governance "has been a period within which freedom of association and freedom of peaceful assembly have been constantly under threat," KHRC Director Atsango Chesoni said. "The undermining of these and other constitutional rights gains must stop if Kenya is to truly follow the path of democracy and the rule of law."
The report also criticised Kenyatta's and Ruto's lack of co-operation with the International Criminal Court, where they are both facing charges related to post-2007 election violence.
"Instead of fulfilling their obligation to ensure that victims of post-election violence get justice and redress, Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto have spent their entire first year in office actively undermining these non-derogable rights," FIDH President Karim Lahidji said. "It is time for them to uphold Kenya's constitution and its international obligations."
The groups also criticised Kenya's recent security crackdown on illegal immigrants and other criminals.
"Under the guise of preserving the country's peace and security, authorities have conducted anti-terrorism operations which have, in some cases, been marred by serious human rights abuses," said the report.

Gangster No. 1 is a 2000 British crime film. It stars Malcolm McDowell, David Thewlis and Paul Bettany and was directed by Paul McGuigan.
The film opens with an unnamed, veteran British gangster (McDowell) attending a boxing match. Upon hearing the name of Freddie Mays in the conversation, he becomes upset and leaves without a word. He then enters a toilet and sets his glass of champagne on the floor near the urinal. As he urinates, some of his urine splashes into the glass. He picks it up and stops just as he's about to drink from it, looks to the camera and says, "What do you take me for, a cunt?" The film then flashes back to the 1960s, with a younger Gangster (Bettany). He comes to the attention of a very influential London gangster, Freddie Mays (Thewlis), who recruits him to be an enforcer for his gang. The Gangster is eager to please, and proves his loyalty to Mays by enthusiastically dropping a car onto a mechanic's head after he attempts to stab Mays. The Gangster quickly becomes obsessed with Mays' glamorous lifestyle and success, ogling his expensive suits, his watch, and in particular his tie-pin. The Gangster's obsession becomes more intense, to the point of wanting to be Mays, even picturing himself sitting in Mays' place. The Gangster soon discovers that Mays' main rival, Lenny Taylor (Jamie Foreman), is planning on killing Mays. Instead of warning his boss, the Gangster decides to let the attack take place, even killing a member of his own gang who was set on going straight to Mays. The attack goes on as planned, and the Gangster sits in a car nearby to watch as the assassins gun Mays down and cut his fiancée Karen's (Saffron Burrows) neck. That same night, the Gangster shoots Lenny in the leg, and then calmly turns up the Hi-Fi to drown the resulting screams and removes his Ozwald Boateng suit to avoid any ill effects of what he's about to do. The Gangster tortures Lenny with a wine bottle, an axe, an ice pick, a machete and a fruit bowl, all amid a constant stream of kicks and verbal abuse. He finally kills Taylor by ramming his head through a pane of glass fronting a drinks cabinet, then smokes a cigarette in his blood-stained underwear while continuing to curse at his victim's corpse. Most of the scene is shown from Taylor's point-of-view, with images and sounds fading in and out as the victim moves in and out of consciousness and slowly dies. To the Gangster's surprise, Mays and Karen do not die in the attack. However, Mays is unjustly convicted of Taylor's murder and sent to prison for 30 years, with a minimum of 25. With Mays locked up and out of the way, the Gangster consolidates his power over the city's underworld. In the intervening years, he organizes a bank heist, runs a casino, fixes horse races, and builds his gang to 300 men strong. At this point, the film returns to 1999, with the Gangster once again portrayed by McDowell. Mays comes out of prison a changed man, holding a bachelor of arts degree. The Gangster is ready for a battle, but Mays seemingly has no fight left in him, wanting only to marry Karen and retire in peace. He tells the Gangster that he is welcome to the London underworld and will not stand in his way. The Gangster is infuriated that Mays is seemingly happier with nothing than the Gangster is with everything, and threatens Mays with a gun. He then gives Mays the gun and begs him to kill him, but Mays merely smirks and leaves, saying "Who'd wanna be Freddie Mays?". In the face of his former rival's sneering indifference, the Gangster loses his mind and ends the film standing on top of a tall block of flats in his underwear, throwing money in the air and laughing maniacally. He finally leaps off the building to his death, declaring, "I'm number one".

By NATHAN GREGORY
The Starkville Board of Aldermen opted to seek an attorney generalтАЩs opinion as to the legalities of instituting a fee for city drainage projects at its Tuesday meeting. The request was made due to the fact there has yet to be an opinion on whether or not an enterprise fund specifically for drainage projects are allowed. It could take up to six weeks to get an opinion on the matter, which means time-sensitive projects, such as the Maple Drive ditch, will not be completed during the upcoming construction season. It would also delay 21 other listed major and minor drainage projects throughout the city.
Ward 4 Alderman Richard Corey and Ward 1 Alderman Ben Carver voiced the need to seek the opinion. Discussion and consideration of prioritizing capital improvement projects for ditches on Northside Drive, Carver Drive and Colonial Drive were tabled due to the decision.
City Attorney Chris Latimer read Miss. Code of 1972 statute 21-27-23, which allows for the borrowing of money by any municipality in the state to тАЬacquire or improve any waterworks system, water supply system, sewerage system ... for the purposes of supplying to the persons ...тАЭ and referenced several previous attorney general opinions applying most closely to the statute.
Ward 6 Alderman Roy A. Perkins said despite the drainage problems his ward faces, he would not vote in favor of adding $2.50 to each household utility bill and $5 to each business utility bill because residents and business owners would see no benefits from the fee.
тАЬWe donтАЩt need this fee to maintain a water system. What the board is trying to do is ... trying to generate revenue to go to municipal matters. The city of Starkville can legally improve its maintenance ditches, but you have to do it with general funds,тАЭ Perkins said. тАЬDonтАЩt try to go through the back door. Our system is making it as it is. There has been no catastrophe for our system. The board, in my opinion, is looking for revenue to pay for capital improvement projects. ThatтАЩs the bottom line. IтАЩm not going to be selfish about this. IтАЩve been a proponent for pay as you go ... (The previous attorney general opinions Latimer read) offer me nothing.тАЭ
Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman said the statute is clear in what type of funding is allowed.
тАЬI believe the law is quite clear and unambiguous. The attorney generalтАЩs office has twice opined that 21-27-23 ... allows you to create an enterprise fund. That is statute that gives authority to do work on drainage ditches pursuant to the statute,тАЭ he said. тАЬAlderman Perkins has spent a great deal of time arguing there is no benefit. I beg to differ. You receive a benefit every time you have a rain event. That is the benefit of service much like service when sanitation (and sewer service) come. This system is almost exactly the same as that.тАЭ
Because there was no opinion that spoke directly to the fee addressed in the meeting, Latimer said he was in favor of seeking an attorney general opinion.
тАЬThe key is the fact that the Mississippi Supreme Court has not spoken on the particular issue. The Mississippi Court of Appeals has not spoken on the particular issue. (The fact that) no city in the state has stepped out and done this yet sends out a pretty good flag that further clarification would be indicated prior to the city ... doing that,тАЭ Latimer said. тАЬIтАЩm glad an AG opinion was requested ... because that gives the city the best legal cover it can get under the circumstances.тАЭ
Ward 7 Alderman Henry Vaughn said the issue should be abandoned because raising the fee could compromise low-income households.
тАЬI feel we should forget about this ... $2.50 may not mean nothing to you or me, but a person on no income, low income (or a) fixed income, that means something to them,тАЭ he said. тАЬWeтАЩre talking about what ditches weтАЩre going to dig ... (and there are residents asking) тАШAm I going to get my medicine or am I going to keep my air conditioning on?тАЩтАЭ
In other business, the board also voted 5-2 in favor of allowing the mayor or his designee to negotiate fees and costs with West Brothers Construction for municipal complex development. Perkins and Vaughn were the opposing votes. The measure does not give authority to initiate any such project.
With Perkins and Vaughn again issuing opposing votes, the board agreed 5-2 to issue request for partnership proposals for a police facility and a property management company.
Wiseman said the motion would give the opportunity to ask for proposals as to how renovations can be made to City Hall.

"Police Officers"
They put their lives on the line everyday
These men and women who we should thank
Instead we hurl accusations at them
We yell at them for mistakes we make
We kill them
They have one of the highest stress rates
Suicide rates
Divorce rates
And we have the nerve to beat them down
They save our lives everyday
But all we think about is how they are pulling us over
To give us a ticket, making us late
You are the real-life heroes of our time
Thank you for doing a thankless job
Thank you for making our streets safe
For us, for our kids.
For me.

Leaked email reveals FOX News boss banned reporters from using the phrase 'public option'
FOX News has been accused numerous times of having a hand in the Republican Party cookie jar when it comes to their reporting.
And while it's the home of conservative talk show hosts like Sean Hannity, the organization has always been able to defend itself by saying their talk shows are completely separate from their news reporting. Now, that defense may not be so easy to make.
Progressive media site, Media Matters, reports that FOX News' Washington managing editor, Bill Sammon, issued a memo banning its reporters from using the phrase "public option" last year amidst the heated health care reform debate.
Instead, he gave FOX reporters three apparently Republican pollster-approved alternatives to use instead. Check out the email below:
From: Sammon, BillSent: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 8:23 AMTo: 054 -FNSunday; 169 -SPECIAL REPORT; 069 -Politics; 030 -Root (FoxNews.Com); 036 -FOX.WHU; 050 -Senior Producers; 051 -ProducersSubject: friendly reminder: let's not slip back into calling it the "public option"
1) Please use the term "government-run health insurance" or, when brevity is a concern, "government option," whenever possible.
2) When it is necessary to use the term "public option" (which is, after all, firmly ensconced in the nation's lexicon), use the qualifier "so-called," as in "the so-called public option."
3) Here's another way to phrase it: "The public option, which is the government-run plan."
4) When newsmakers and sources use the term "public option" in our stories, there's not a lot we can do about it, since quotes are of course sacrosanct.
FOX's senior vice president for news, Michael Clemente, then replied that he preferred the third option. As soon as that evening, reporters began using Sammon's alternatives to "public option" on-air when discussing health care reform.
In his defense, Sammon spoke to The Daily Beast saying, "I have no idea what the Republicans were pushing or not. It's simply an accurate, fair, objective term."
As you know, the "public option" was removed from the health care bill before it was passed, which some believe greatly strayed from its intended purpose of making health care insurance affordable for all Americans.
Do you think Sammon's ban on using the phrase "public option" effectively slanted FOX's news coverage toward the Republicans in the health care debate?

Slabbing was going to be the name of the game much of today, but I just couldn't pass up a dirt road heading in the right direction...
Heading towards Crystal:
More racecourse:
Rode the old Amargosa wagon road or whatever it's called (I think it was a elevated, wooden plank road long ago) but this is what I kept running into:
I finally cut down under this barbed wire and hit 95, which I was paralleling and was literally a stones throw away.
My goal for the day was Tonopah and it was a long ways off yet. Quite a ways up Hwy 95 I found my turnoff towards the dunes.
The sand was nice and firm from the rain.
I was half tempted to rip up to the top of the dune, but didn't.
After passing thru the dunes I somehow avoided all the racecourse and ended up on a powerline road that was fast and fun. Pretty much took me to the front door of the Ensenada in Beatty for this:
I highly recommend this place. Big portions and fairly cheap. South end of town in beautiful Beatty, NV.
Onward... some slabbage, then a turnoff heading northwest.
Guess what. More racecourse. This would be the hardest part of the day.
I tried to ride alongside the course as much as possible, following some old m/c tracks.
Everything was soft and slimy out here and I was losing elevation as I traveled west.
At one point I was riding in the track and tried to hop out out of it to avoid the water and I spun out. Managed to stay upright too. Bonus!
That was supposed to be my route out there...
After my spin-out I noticed the front tire looked low. Sunuvabitch... see the splinter?
So much for Moose hd tubes. And D952 fronts. The low pressure was probably helping me thru the mud however.
Popped across the highway to this nifty little place and fixed it.
Took my time this go around and didn't pinch the tube like the last one. I was however pretty low pressure as I was trying to conserve CO2 cartridges so I slabbed it into Goldfield from here rather than taking the dirt.

U.S. gives 200 armored vehicles to Lebanon. (The Daily Star/Lebanese Army Website, HO)
BEIRUT: The United States has given 200 armored vehicles to Lebanon, part of the U.S. military assistance program, the Lebanese Army said Monday.
The M113 armored personnel carriers (APCs) arrived in Beirut port late Sunday, the army said.
A Lebanese security source said the army now had 1,200 APCs.
"The shipment of vehicles will support the Lebanese armed forces' capabilities and their mobility and ability to respond to crises. It is also to protect borders and internal stability," said a U.S. diplomat source.
The diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the vehicles were used but were all in "very good working order and will be refurbished in Lebanon."
More than $140 million in equipment and assistance were provided to Lebanon's army by the U.S. in the past six months.
The equipment included six Huey 2 Helicopters, a 42-metre coastal security craft, more than 1000 guns and 38 million rounds of ammunition. – With Reuters.

While the new N830 Phenom II X3 mobile processor doesn't use more power than previous dual-core AMD chips, its performance isn't stellar unless you really need more than two cores. Lacking any other distinguishing features, this version of the Acer Aspire 5551 thus feels like a cheaper laptop than it actually is and, until its price comes down, there are many more attractive options readily available - even from Acer itself.

Without airs and graces. 15.6" mainstream notebooks at attractive prices are a dime a dozen. Apart from the attractive optics, Acer offers mainly standard fare with the Aspire 5551G-N834G64Mn. The only highlight is the brand new triplecore CPU from AMD, the Prenom II X3 N830.

So throw out all the standard warnings regarding Acer laptops: they don't have the greatest build quality, consisting almost entirely of a plastic chassis; the keyboard is at best tolerable and at worst an object of pure hate; quality control and customer opinions on Acer usually fall on the "you get what you pay for" side of the fence. All of that is a given, and the 5551G-4591 doesn't do much to change those assumptions.

The Acer Aspire 5551G-4591 is difficult to recommend as a general purpose laptop. The laptop's user interface is not impressive, the display is too glossy, and the speakers are sub-par. Portability is also a lost cause due to the laptop's weight, large size and minimal battery life. The AS5551G-4591 isn't the best laptop for productivity, it isn't the best laptop for travel, and it isn't the best laptop for listening to music or watching movies.It is, however, a good value when it comes to gaming. The Acer Aspire 5551G-4591, and its various cousins, has serious gaming chops. This laptop can trade punches with the $1,199 entry level Alienware M15x, which has a faster Core i3 processor but inferior Nvidia GT 240M graphics solution.

However nowadays, more and more 16:9 displays with 15.6 inch appear. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.

I am thrilled to share the following guest post by Kelly Rholes. Kelly is a fabulous Speech Therapist who integrates game play into her practice to engage young players and make learning fun and meaningful! Here she shares creative ways to use ThinkFun's Zingo! game to target a range of different learning needs:
If working on verb tense:
Have the child pull 2 or 3 chips at random and put them in a line. Then the child must create a story in using all past, present, or future tense verbs. For example, if the child grabs a foot, sock and tree and the target tense is using past tense verbs, he could say, "Yesterday I put my sock on my foot, and then I kicked a tree." Of course, he can make up any sentence, and the sillier the better!
If working on temporal, conditional, or basic directions:
When cleaning up the game, give the child directions for putting the chips back in the slider. Some examples:
Temporal Direction: Put the cake in after you put in the yo-yo.
Conditional Direction: If I put in a T-rex, you put in a tree.
Conditional w/ negation: Don't put in a foot, unless I put in a shoe.
If working on final consonant deletion:
Many of these chips have words ending in /p/, /t/, /k/, and /g/. I usually play this game with my children who have final consonant deletion as a phonological processing disorder persisting after 3 years of age. I have the child name the chip or put the word of the chip in a simple sentence. He can also ask, "Do you have a ____?"
If working on memory:
1. Show the child a certain number of chips on a table. Then, have him close his eyes and take one away. Then, the child opens his eyes and and states which chip is missing.
2. Show the child a certain number of chips, asking him to look only. Then, have the child engage in a different task for a certain number of minutes (depending on your goal). After your time is up, begin showing the chips (with a few new ones added) one at a time to the child asking him is he saw the picture earlier.
3. Have a selected chip out for the child. Tell the child that you want him to name as many things he can think of that … in one minute. Turn the timer over to start the time and write down his answers. For example, if you choose hamburger, ask him to name as many other foods he can think of in 1 minute. Or, if you choose apple, have him name as many things that are red 1 one minute.
If working on categories:
1. Lay three chips out in front of the child (two of which belong to the same category– 2 animals, 1 food) and have him state which chip doesn't belong and why.
2. Lay half or all of the chips out in front of the child (depending on skill level) and have him separate them into categories. If the child needs support, write category titles on separate pieces of paper so the child knows what to look for (i.e. food, animal, transportation, etc).
If working on prepositions:
Have the child grab a chip from a pile. Then give him directions telling him where to place the chip. For example, you can say, "Place the ice cream under the chair." You can increase the number of directions, as well. For example, "Place the horse on the table then touch your nose."
If working on functions of objects:
Lay out a certain number of chips (they can related or not depending on difficulty level) on the table. Tell the child, "Hand me the one that flies." Choose the function you are looking for and ask the child to have you the object that serves that function.
If working on phonological awareness:
Have the child grab a chip from a pile. When he looks at it, ask him to name the chip. Then he must think of another word that starts with the same letter/sound, ends with the same letter/sound, or rhymes with the word.
If working on reading:
Determine your child's reading level. Write simple sentences on sentence strips (or whatever your heart desires) leaving a blank where a noun should be. Have the child grab a chip from a pile and a sentence strip. The child must place the chip in the blank (or noun) spot and then read the sentence. Again, the sillier the better!
If working on comparing/contrasting:
Have the child grab two chips from a group of scattered chips laying face down. He must then name one thing similar about the objects on the chip and one thing different (or whatever your goal is for the child).
If working on sentence structure:
Choose a carrier phrase, and write it on a sentence strip. For example, "I see a _____", or "This is a _____". Scatter the chips around. Have the child choose a chip and place it in the blank spot of the sentence strip. Then have him read or say the sentence. You can have multiple types of sentences and the child can also choose a sentence strip when choosing a chip. You can also have the child ask questions while playing the game, such as, "Do you have a _____?"
Of course, this game is great for reinforcing activities. The child can perform a task, then slide the slider one or two times. Taking turns while mastering goals.
Do you have other suggestions for creative ways to use Zingo! to exercise specific skills? Please share in the comments below!

ZAMBIA will meet the target of switching from analogue to digital terrestrial television (DTT) in 2013 despite the tight schedule, Information and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Amos Malupenga has said.
Mr Malupenga said despite the tight schedule ahead of the implementation process, Government's commitment and its swift response on the exercise was positive.
He said since the coming of the Patriotic Front (PF) Government into power in September 2011, major strides had been taken to ensure Zambia was on course with digital migration.
Mr Malupenga was speaking on Wednesday soon after the launch of a symbolic switch ceremony of the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) to digital terrestrial television.
He said Zambia was in the tendering process to pick a bidder in the implementation process of DTT for the country.
The tendering proceedings were supposed to have been closed in October, this year but due to a number of challenges, the period was extended and is due to close next week.
Mr Malupenga cited financial constraints as one of the major challenges in achieving the implementation of the DTT for Zambia.
He however, said Government was mobilising resources to ensure the exercise was on course.
Zambian High Commissioner to Namibia Wendy Sinkala was present at the ceremony.
Namibia Minister of Information and Communication Technology Joel Kaapanda said the switch to DTT was a demonstration that his country had fulfilled international obligation guidelines.
Mr Kaapanda said as Namibia migrated, there would be many channels available through the provision of efficient services.
He has since urged the NBC board and management to remain on course during the implementation process.
Meanwhile, NBC director general Albertus Aochamub said the switch to DTT was an achievement that would not only increase the corporation's productivity but also increase its revenue base.

press release
The MDC is appalled by the blatant yellow journalism and gross misinformation in the Herald of today (11/12/12) that the MDC National Executive met in Bindura at the weekend purportedly to clear internal problems over the role of principals in the Constitution making process.
For the record, no such meeting by the Executive took place in Bindura since the President was out of the country on a visit to Kenya on official business.
Secondly there has never been any internal problem regarding the issue alluded to in the Herald to warrant an Executive meeting.
The MDC implores the Zanu PF mouthpiece, the Herald and its journalists, to verify their stories first before publishing. The unprofessional conduct as exuded by the Herald is certainly not consistent with ethics guiding the conduct of journalists and is therefore unacceptable.
The good thing about the people of Zimbabwe is that they will never be swayed by Zanu PF or their propaganda mouthpieces into believing their lies. Zimbabweans have soared way above petty politicking and have diverted their attention to the real issues of pushing for a new constitution to be nationally adopted.

Information on the current legislation and legislative news.
The House Oversight, Reform, and Ethics Committee will continue its work this week on legislation dealing with public employee health care. The panel meets Tuesday to consider House Bills 4087 and 4572 and Senate Joint Resolution C.
Answers to common questions about House Bills 4625-4628, including: What is the current status of these bills? Could "good teachers" lose their jobs if these bills become law? Could I be fired for reasons that have nothing to do with job performance?
House Bill No. 4625, entitled
A four-bill package pending in the state House to overhaul tenure would actually reach far beyond what some say is the real problem – the time and money it takes to discharge a teacher with tenure.
The legislation – House Bills 4625, 4626, 4627, and 4628 – would, in fact, dismantle tenure AND collective bargaining of most subjects currently decided at the local bargaining table, including placement of employees, evaluation systems, discharge/discipline policies, and more. In an ironic turn, the legislation is backed by Republicans, who usually claim to oppose such intrusions on local control by state government.
Under this legislation, it would be possible for a school district to fire an unmarried, pregnant teacher. Or a tenured teacher who happens to be gay. Or an unpopular employee disliked by the principal. Or veteran teachers who can be replaced with cheaper, less experienced alternatives.
Lawmakers in Lansing have finalized budget cuts for K-12 schools, community colleges, and universities, agreeing to more than $1 billion in overall cuts that will lead to mass layoffs and reduced services for students.
A state House committee is considering legislation to cap the amount public employers, including school districts, pay for employee health care.
Responding to ongoing attacks on public education and the middle class, thousands of MEA members traveled to Lansing on Saturday for MEA Action Day.
Several dozen MEA members, leaders, and staff were at the Capitol today to talk with legislators about votes this week affecting public employee wages and health care.
On Wednesday, the Senate passed House Bill 4152 (to freeze step wage increases when a contract expires) and Senate Bill 7 (to require public employees to pay at least 20 percent of the cost of their health insurance) and the House Education Committee approved bills to dismantle tenure and collective bargaining laws. Those votes compelled the educators to visit Lansing -- to hold accountable the lawmakers who supported these measures, and to thank those who did not.
The Senate today approved historic changes to collective bargaining and public employee compensation, stripping locally elected officials of the right to make important decisions.
Despite intensive lobbying by MEA leaders, staff, and others, the GOP-led Senate passed bills that impede local control and impact all public employees in some way.
The Michigan Senate voted to eliminate step wage increases between contracts and to require employees to pay at least 20 percent of the cost of health care, issues currently negotiated locally between employers and employees. The bill affecting step increases now goes to the governor for his signature; the health cost bill now goes to the House, where it could be amended.
Gov. Rick Snyder's massive tax plan -- an unprecedented tax shift that hurts seniors, the poor, and children while giving a big break for businesses -- passed the Legislature today despite strong public opposition.
The plan taxes senior pensions, cuts subsidies for the working poor, and eliminates taxes for an estimated 95,000 businesses even as public schools brace for massive state funding cuts.

We are coming up on the first anniversary of Baltimore's 300 Men March, when far more than that number of men — perhaps double that number — walked the length of North Avenue and back on a Friday night to protest last summer's spike in killings.
It was a quickly organized event in response to a particularly sickening period in the life of the city. More than 40 people had been shot in the first couple of weeks of summer, 20 of them in a single weekend.

British data protection authorities are investigating revelations that Facebook conducted a psychological experiment on its users.
The Information Commissioner's Office said in a statement Wednesday that it wants to learn more about the circumstances of the experiment carried out by two U.S. universities and the social network. The researchers manipulated the news feeds of about 700,000 randomly selected users to study the impact of "emotional contagion," or how emotional states are transferred to others.
The commissioner's office is working with authorities in Ireland, headquarters of Facebook's European operations. French authorities are also reviewing the matter.
The concern comes amid interest in Europe about beefing up data protection rules. The European Court of Justice last month ruled that Google must respond to user requests seeking to remove links to personal informatio

After Hours
Writing my last post about my very first restaurant job got me thinking about my old fun-person days as a server in an Irish pub. I started working there the same month I should have graduated college, May 1997, and it was a wholly different rite of passage.
I go back and forth about how I feel about those days; on the one hand, I forged friendships that have endured and endured. It was my pub people who showed up at the hospital when my sister's boyfriend was shot, bearing provisions and moving us gently through decisions that needed to be made (call your mom, stay in this hotel room.) I also had a lot of fun, and I squeezed my 20s dry of their up-all-night, sleep-all-day, cash-lifestyle possibilities. On the other hand, I did a lot of stupid shit that could have hurt me–"fell asleep" in cabs, accompanied shady people to crack dens, a sustained daily assault on my liver and lungs. There were many, many days when the only thing that eased my crushing hangover was the night's first shift drink, and if I didn't have a cigarette burning somewhere, it was likely because I was sleeping.
But, as with everything, some of that bad stuff was also really, really fun. Knowing where to go after last call, where you can still drink and musicians play and drama ensues until the sun comes up, is awesome. Dangerous, but awesome. (My belated apologies to the industrious souls of Woodley and Cleveland Parks, by whom I staggered, reeking and red-eyed, many mornings when I was on my way home and you were on your way to work.) (P.S. I always felt bad for you.) (And I'm sure the feeling was mutual.)
But then, there was also the crack den.
My favorite after-hours haunt was a mere half-block from my favorite watering hole. When we'd get kicked out of there–sometimes at last call, sometimes a bit later, depending on who was working–we were never ready to be done. Most of the time, we'd worked until nearly last call ourselves, slinging Guinness and listening to wildly arrhythmic tourists clap for the daddy-o. (The sight of Irish bar patrons trying to clap-clap-clap-clap in time with the musician is a source of endless sadness when you're sober.) The point is, bar-closing time wasn't nearly done-drinking time, and so off to the after-hours club we'd go.
We usually had to enter through a window. I'm not sure how much of the subterfuge was actually due to fear of marauding law enforcers and how much was just fun for the people who worked the door, but we tumbled through the window regardless. Drunk people are surprisingly bouncy, but heads were cracked nonetheless. It's true what tattoo artists say; alcohol makes you bleed more.
The club was gross. The bathroom always flooded and never had working doors, everything was sticky, roaches scurried across the bar, and everyone was always completely obliterated. It was not the kind of place where you would like to lose track of your friends, because you might never find them again. Like, EVER. I used to do sickly sweet purple shots there that I swear were made primarily out of roofies.
The crack den was after after-hours, when what little common sense I possessed at age 24 was fully submerged in a sea of Harp and exhaustion. I only went once, when my friends had mysteriously vanished and two cute Irish boys invited me. I mean, they didn't call it a crack den, they called it a "private club." Looking back, I can't believe I got into a car with two totally wasted acquaintances and set off for parts unknown, but in my defense I was really, really drunk. I sobered up quickly, though, when the "private club" turned out to be a rowhouse in one of DC's worse (at the time) neighborhoods, where we paid $20 at the door and were ushered into the most terrifying scene I'd ever been part of…people cutting lines and snorting coke off tables, casually displayed guns, and several pairs of pimps and prostitutes.
The minute I stepped inside, a bolt of adrenaline filled me with stark, daylight clarity: I needed to get the fuck out of there. As I accepted a lukewarm can of beer from one of my idiot escorts, I said, as casually as possible, "I'm probably just going to finish this and get a cab home. I'm more tired than I thought." He laid a brotherly hand on my arm, "Ah, I don't think so. This really isn't the kind of neighborhood you should even walk around in, and there are definitely no cabs." Even spoken in a swoony Irish accent, I hated that sentence. I realized that he had become 225% less attractive in the past hour or so (did I mention the in-car groping? No? Because that happened.)
(Ed. note: Kids, remember hearing in history class that there was time before cell phones? This story takes place during that dark epoch. If this had happened now [HIGHLY unlikely] I would have just called people until one of them woke up enough to come get me…putting aside for a moment the fact that I had no idea where I was.)
My mom is going to so angry and confused to hear that I died in a crack house, I thought sadly, after backing out of a bathroom that had been taken over for a session of cocaine-fueled fellatio.
I didn't die, obviously. I can't even remember how I got home, only that I was stuck there for hours, nervously nursing a warm can of Bud (gag) and chain-smoking like my life depended on it.
Last summer, I re-connected with an old friend from college who had married a DC band guy. Over fancy grilled sausages in their Chevy Chase backyard, he and I engaged in a game of mild oneupmanship over who had done what stupid things in the late 90s. "And then, when the cops came, he was just sitting there eating a sandwich. They asked him if he'd heard the blaring alarm, and he said he'd thought it was just the music. He got fired," I said. He countered with a story about wrestling a transvestite on tour, which was hard to beat, and I do hate to be out-storied. "I went to a crack den full of prostitutes somewhere in Shaw and couldn't get home. I was pretty sure I was going to die," I offered with a casual chuckle. "Sugar's," he replied instantly. I stopped short, fork midway to my mouth, and nodded. Nearby, another friend's two-year-old petted their big friendly dog. His wife was talking to someone else about the deer that come into their yard. We concluded that we must have been in the same places at the same time, back in the day. But that was a long, long time ago.
