MINING laws in Zimbabwe are criminal and must be urgently amended to empower the people and their communities, Deputy Prime Minister Arthur Mutambara has said.
In an interview yesterday, DPM Mutambara, who gave the closing remarks at the just-ended inaugural World Diamond Conference in Victoria Falls, blamed the mining laws in Africa for undermining community development.
"The problem is that our current mining laws in Africa, in Zimbabwe, favour the investor. Our current mining laws be it in Botswana, be it in Namibia . . . in Africa in general, they empower the investor at the expense of the African community and the people," he said.
DPM Mutambara described the mining laws as "criminal".
"This is the point we are making that these mining laws must change and this is needed in all our countries," he said.
DPM Mutambara said the issue of looting of natural resources had not only occurred in the mining sector but in other areas.
"This has happened beyond minerals. It has applied to oil and our laws, regarding natural resources, must be changed to empower the African and ensure that the ordinary people benefit from their natural resources," he said.
DPM Mutambara said the mining laws allowed investors to get claims for free.
"There is no exploration done, there is no quantification of the asset done, there is no valuation done, consequently African governments, African communities, African people, survive on royalties and taxes when in fact they are the owners of the natural resources and should be paid dividends in addition to royalties and taxes," DPM Mutambara said.
He said for over 128 years investors had been formally extracting natural resources from Africa.
"There was extraction during colonial and post-colonial times and after the end of colonialism Africans did not change the mining laws.
"So the mining laws were not changed in 1980 in Zimbabwe, the mining laws were not changed in 1957 in Ghana, the mining laws were not changed in 1994 in South Africa and in 1989 in Namibia.
"We continued with the same criminal laws," he said.
DPM Mutambara said there was no evidence in Ghana for it to be called the Gold Coast, Johannesburg to be Egoli (City Of Gold) and the same story applies to Zimbabwe.
"So much gold, platinum and other several minerals have come out but there is no evidence. There is no evidence that there has been extraction of these rich minerals," he said.
DPM Mutambara said the only way to reverse these problems was to change mining laws.
He said the investors should have a sense of intricate value of the assets underground.
The mining laws, he said, would allow investors to take claims for free and list them on stock exchanges in countries such as Australia and Canada.
DPM Mutambara said foreign investors have been hypocritical and taken advantage of Africa's lax mining laws.
He identified Canada and Norway as countries where foreign investors are only given a seven percent stake while locals retain a 93 percent stake.
"Back in their own countries they quantify and value their minerals. In Australia and Canada they are benefiting from their minerals and putting value improving their economies.
"Africa is saying what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Africans must learn from Norway how it dealt with its oil and empowered their people. In Norway, they only allow seven percent, 93 percent is local ownership," he said.
DPM Mutambara commended Community Share Ownership Trusts bemoaning the perception created that companies were donating and doing favours to communities.
"That is the wrong perception. We hear Zimplats, Unki and Mimosa had donated US$10 million to community. It's wrong in fact it's the other way round," he said.
DPM said the claims these companies were working on belonged to the communities and the communities were donating these funds.
Government, he said, was coming up with a Diamond Bill and there will have a provision for the intricate value of diamonds to be given to the people of Zimbabwe.
"We are also changing the Mines and Minerals Act so that people are allowed to enjoy benefits from their natural resources," he said.
Government, he said, had since set up a geological and exploration company to establish and quantify all minerals in Zimbabwe.

Three Pack Starters Record Double Dips As UNC Evens Season Series
Feb. 23, 2013
Final Stats | Photo Gallery | Postgame Notes
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The NC State men's basketball team was upended, 76-65, by rival North Carolina Saturday evening at the Dean Smith Center. The teams split the 2012-13 series, 1-1, as the Pack defeated the Tar Heels in Raleigh on Jan. 26.
Scott Wood led the Wolfpack (19-8, 8-6 ACC) with 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting from the field, including hitting 5-for-12 from 3-point range. It's the second time in three games Wood has led State in scoring.
Richard Howell had his 16th double-double of the season with 13 points and 17 rebounds, while Lorenzo Brown added 12 points and 12 assists, recording his sixth double-double of the season. T.J. Warren registered his second-consecutive double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Howell's 17 rebounds mark the 11th time in his career and sixth time this season that he has pulled down 15 or more boards, while Brown dished out double-figure assists for the eighth time on the year.
It was the second time this year that three Wolfpack players posted double-doubles. The Pack achieved the feat in both games against North Carolina.
It was a back-and-forth affair in the first half that featured six ties and nine lead changes. Brown tied the game at 23 on a jumper with 5:35 remaining in the period, but the Tar Heels (19-8, 9-5 ACC) responded with a 7-0 run over the next 90 seconds to take a 30-23 lead, before heading to the locker rooms with a 34-28 advantage.
NC State shot 40 percent from the floor in the first half on 12-of-30 shooting, and out-rebounded North Carolina 26-14. The Tar Heels turned 12 Wolfpack turnovers into 16 points in the period.
"I think they did a nice job of getting their hands in the passing lanes," Gottfried said. "We did try to go inside. We had some post-feed passes that got knocked away."
Trailing 38-28 in the early moments of the second half, NC State used a 21-7 run, capped by a pair of back-to-back three-pointers by Wood to take a 49-45 lead at the under-12 media timeout with 11:37 left on the clock.
After a dunk by C.J. Leslie gave the Pack a 55-52 lead with 8:06 to go, North Carolina went on an 18-2 run over the next four and one-half minutes to take a 70-57 lead, creating a double-digit lead that would hold for the remainder of the game.
"We had some empty possessions," Gottfried said. "They, in turn, took advantage of that, knocked down a couple of key threes, and that little stretch right there was the difference in the game."
Reggie Bullock scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, while Marcus Paige added 14 points and eight assists to lead the Tar Heels.
The Pack shot 48.4 percent on 15-of-31 shooting in the second half, and 27-of-61 (.443) in the game. NC State won the rebounding battle, 43-34, and outscored North Carolina 38-32 in the paint.
"We just have to keep working and play hard," Gottfried said. "I like how our team is playing. I like the fact that we're competing. We're playing better."

Mekong cruises
Mekong river cruises are the perfect way to see the vibrant colours of everyday life in South-east Asia - the floating markets, fishing boats, jungle scenery and the many exotic species living in and around its chocolate-brown waters.
The river begins its life on the Tibetan Plateau before rolling through China and along the Burma-Laos border. In Laos it passes Luang Prabang, a tranquil town of bicycle and golden temples, where orange-robed monks keep cool under parasols.
The Mekong then forms a natural boundary with Thailand before entering Cambodia, drawing close to the capital, Phnom Penh. The astonishing temples of Angkor Wat are within reach and definitely worth an excursion.
The 2,700-mile journey comes to an end in Vietnams Mekong Delta, emptying into the South China Sea. The delta is sometimes called 'the rice bowl of Vietnam' thanks to its intensive production of Asia's staple food.

Eighteen times, he suited up for baseball's All-Star Game. No American Leaguer has played in more. The two trophies Cal Ripken Jr. won as the game's Most Valuable Player gleam, plain to see, in the former Oriole's Reisterstown home.
Ripken played in the All-Star Game during the Orioles' lean years — four times, he made the trip alone. And he played in 1997 when, for the first time in history, fans picked three Orioles — Ripken, Roberto Alomar and Brady Anderson — to start the midsummer classic.
Now, they've done it again. And when Chris Davis, Adam Jones, and J.J. Hardy take the field Tuesday night at Citi Field in New York — with Manny Machado in the dugout as a reserve — Ripken says the experience will offer a new level of validation for the upstart Orioles.

"It [All-Star voting] is an affirmation that you're good, and it's extra special when your teammates are there, and you're together in that clubhouse, and you can stick your chest out," said Ripken, 52.
"We know, here in Baltimore, that we're playoff-caliber. The success the Orioles had last year put a lot of these guys on the map. But the All-Star Game is one that everyone sees, so when people ask, 'Are these guys for real?' all you have to do is look at that lineup."
The Orioles have four All-Star representatives for the first time since 2005 and just the second time since the turn of the century. The starters were voted in by the fans, and reserves are chosen through voting by players, coaches and managers and through choices by the manager of the reigning league champion.
"It's always fun to do things you've never done before," said Davis, a first-time All-Star, "but when you can do it with guys that you're battling with on a day-to-day basis, I think you can appreciate it that much more. I thought for a while we might have nine starters in the All-Star Game the way the fans were voting, and we appreciate that. That means a lot to us, knowing our fans are behind us and that there are fans around the country that are behind us as well. I'm excited to goof off with these guys for the three days we're there."
The balloting is proof that the club is no fluke, other Orioles greats agreed.
"It's certainly indicative that your core players are good, and of how far this franchise has come — and that, after 14 straight losing years [1998-2011], the Orioles aren't the poor child anymore," said Jim Palmer, 67, a six-time All-Star pitcher and current MASN analyst. "It's great when fans all over the country know that."
Former Birds, too.
"We've been waiting for a long, long time," said Brooks Robinson, 76, the Hall of Fame third baseman. "This shows that the Orioles have really turned the corner. Three starters? For all those losing seasons, we were lucky to have one guy make the team."
Like Ripken, Robinson played in 18 All-Star games and once was named the game's MVP (1966). Each collected 13 hits, fifth-best behind Willie Mays (23). Moreover, both Orioles fielded their positions cleanly. Robinson handled 43 chances without a miscue; Ripken, 41. With America watching.
"I'm proud of never having made an error," Robinson said. "I went into every All-Star Game thinking I could be the best player on the field."
He expects no less from this year's Orioles contingent, including the third baseman Machado. At 21, Machado is younger than either Robinson (23) or Ripken (22) in his first All-Star appearance.
"I'd love to see [Machado] in the game," Robinson said. "It amazes me how he's made the transition from shortstop to third. He looks like he's played there his whole life. But if you've got good hands and the instincts, it's no big deal."
Likewise, Ripken is excited for Hardy at shortstop, the Iron Man's niche for much of his Hall of Fame career.
"I love how J.J. has brought stability to the middle of the infield," Ripken said. "He's smart and he does things easily."
Ripken sees their selection as helping forge the futures of players like Machado and Davis, baseball's current home run leader and another first-time All-Star.
"For young guys, confidence is the name of the game — and it can be very fragile," Ripken said. "One minute you're on top of the world; the next, you're the worst player in the league. Being named an All-Star is a big lift mentally, the equivalent of having several good seasons.
"You try to be cool in that red-carpet environment, but when I got into my first game, in 1983, my heart was pounding through my chest — and I didn't even play until the sixth inning. But it was a big boost to my confidence for the second half of the season."

Best Place for a Good Beer and a Film
By William Brand
Friday, August 5th, 2005 at 7:28 pm in Uncategorized.
If you live in the Eastbay, like films and beer and being social, there's a must destination for you: It's the Parkway Theater, 1834 Park Blvd. That's near Lake Merritt. Info line: 5109-814-2400, office: 510–848-1994.
Saw Batman Begins there Wednesday night with my son, Zach. It's simply a treasure. No theater chairs; instead there are couches and easy chairs and tables. A full menu, not the best food you ever ate, but OK.
And there is beer — I sipped a pint of Mendocino's Eye of the Hawk, while we watched Bruce Wayne train as some kind of shadowy ninja. There were more choices, each one excellent: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sudwerk Hubsch Pils, Stone IPA, Anderson Valley Boont Amber and Newcastle Brown, hmmm not so sure about that one.
Oh yeah, they have wine too. What wine? I dunno. California wine, I guess.
One important note: No children, except for the 6:30 p.m. show on Monday nights. That's Baby Brigade Night and kids are welcome and free.
My dot.gone, graduate student, single son Zach, says he avoids Monday nights. But Wednesday night is cool: admission is $5 for two people. That's what we paid, plus $16.50 for a hamburger, a very large slice of cheese pizza, a liter of Coke in a glass and my pint of Hawk.
Plus Batman Begins is easily the best film of the summer. Long live the Dark Knight of Gotham and the Parkway.
More news; the owners, Catherine and Kyle Fischer, are involved in opening a similar establishment the El Cerrito in El Cerrito, CA on San Pablo Avenue near Central Avenue. Check out their website for details.

Physiologically, a ruminant is a mammal of the order Artiodactyla that digests plant-based food by initially softening it within the animal's first stomach, known as the rumen, then regurgitating the semi-digested mass, now known as cud, and chewing it again. The process of again chewing the cud to further break down plant matter and stimulate digestion is called "ruminating". Ruminating mammals include cattle, goats, sheep, giraffes, American Bison, European bison, yaks, water buffalo, deer, camels, alpacas, llamas, wildebeest, antelope, and pronghorn. Taxonomically, the suborder Ruminantia includes all those species except the camels, llamas, and alpacas, which are Tylopoda. Therefore, the term 'ruminant' is not synonymous with Ruminantia.
Even though the rumen and reticulum have different names they represent the same functional space as digesta can move back and forth between them. Together these chambers are called the reticulorumen. The degraded digesta, which is now in the lower liquid part of the reticulorumen, then passes into the next chamber, the omasum, where water and many of the inorganic mineral elements are absorbed into the blood stream. After this the digesta is moved to the last chamber, the abomasum. The abomasum is the direct equivalent of the monogastric stomach (for example that of the human or pig), and digesta is digested here in much the same way. Digesta is finally moved into the small intestine, where the digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs. Microbes produced in the reticulo-rumen are also digested in the small intestine. Fermentation continues in the large intestine in the same way as in the reticulorumen.
Almost all the glucose produced by the breaking down of cellulose and hemicellulose is used by microbes in the rumen, and as such ruminants usually absorb little glucose from the small intestine. Rather, ruminants' requirement for glucose (for brain function and lactation if appropriate) is made by the liver from propionate, one of the volatile fatty acids made in the rumen .

Statewide Regional Center

Proterra, Moving On
By Dick Hughes
Greenville Journal
MAY 5, 2011 11:08 a.m.
Proterra, which is based in Golden, Colo., but builds buses in Greenville, got caught up, innocently by all accounts, in a funding miasma that put it on the brink of insolvency caused by the ill-gotten gains of its major investor and minority owner.
In March, the investor, Francisco Illarramendi, who owned MK Energy and Infrastructure, pled guilty in federal court to raiding pension funds of the Venezuelan state-run oil company in a Ponzi scheme involving hundreds of millions of dollars, prosecutors say.
The court's receiver had seized MK, along with several other Illarramendi companies, and sought return of the $15 million the company loaned and the $5.4 million it invested in Proterra, which made MK a 4.4 percent owner.
After a four-month scramble to raise cash, late last week a syndicate led by Silicon Valley investors signed a term sheet agreeing to an equity investment of $30 million. Neither the identities of the investors nor the share of Proterra they will acquire was disclosed.
As part of that commitment, the receiver agreed to accept less than the $20.4 million MK put into Proterra. The company said it could not disclose the payback amount until the refinancing transaction closes in June.
Proterra said once the transaction closes and the "money is the bank," the company can catch up with overdue payments to suppliers and step up production that slowed but did not stop in January. In the meantime, bridge loans are used to make payroll and "keep the lights on."
"We are really excited about the partners we brought to the table and what it means for the business and for South Carolina to get back on track and start production," said Jeff Granato, president and chief executive officer of Proterra.
The workforce is down to 85 from 130 last year. All of those let go were temporary workers, Granato said. There were no layoffs of permanent workers, and hiring will pick up once the new capital is in hand, expected new orders are signed and critical federal testing is completed, he said.
Uncertainties remain, particularly with the public money committed to bring Proterra to Greenville, the federal program to subsidize bus purchases and the planned $33 million plant on the campus of Clemson University's International Center for Automotive Research.
According to the South Carolina Policy Council, Proterra will receive "as much as $40 million in corporate income tax credits, job development credits, grants, low-interest bonds and forgivable loans" over 10 years for picking Greenville as the site for its manufacturing plant.
When Proterra selected South Carolina after narrowing some 30 site locations to Greenville and one in Ohio, the company promised an investment of $68 million and 1,300 jobs within seven years in return for taxpayer incentives.
Because some of the conditions connected to incentives will not be met, Proterra will need to renegotiate with the city, county and state, Granato said.
"I would hope and expect that they would at least be open to entertaining a change in the terms we originally agreed to."
Granato said plans for the ICAR plant are on hold until it is determined if the new investors support it and, if they do, whether "the lending institutions we have been working with previously see us as back on our feet and able to support ... the real estate loans to get the building done.
"I would expect that there would be a little bit of time that would be required to make certain that the enterprise is in fact stable and able to support that kind of debt."
He said the new investment "very explicitly is capital for the business" and cannot be used to construct the building.
In any case, Granato said, the company will not meet the original timetable of breaking ground in July and "likely we will need to extend the lease" on the 90,000 square feet of the old Orders Distributing building on Whitlee Court off Interstate 85 and Laurens Road. The lease expires in June.
The City of Greenville paid the first year's rent of $271,350 to give Proterra a temporary home until the ICAR facility was built. Granato said Proterra does not yet have a definitive agreement with the city to either extend the lease or the free rent.
A potential problem is in Washington, where budget-cutters could reduce or kill the federal program that subsidizes purchases of Proterra's energy-saving buses by transit authorities. The government pays 80 percent of the cost of a bus.
The program, a green-energy initiative of the Obama administration, survived the most recent round of cuts, and "so far everything looks positive" for continued support, Granato said. Still, he said, Proterra needs to "make sure we have enough capital to weather any slow down if it occurs."
As a demonstration of the viability of the company, Proterra sent its EcoRide battery-powered bus to the Altoona Bus Research and Testing Center at Penn State University for testing against strict federal standards for safety, durability and energy efficiency.
When the testing is complete, Granato said, the Federal Transit Administration will issue a report that will serve "almost like a consumer report" for purchasers. "It's not pass-fail."
"This is a report to transit providers that if you are going to buy this bus, you'll have all the information you need about how it is going to perform and what the maintenance is going to look like over the course of its operation."
In initial in-service experience, early versions of Proterra's battery-charged bus recorded 17-27 miles per equivalent diesel gallon, and Granato said he expects the later model sent to Altoona will average between 24 and 27. The typical diesel-powered bus gets about six miles per gallon.
Granato said production will pick up "not so much because of the investment capital coming in but as a result of the Altoona test being completed and the report being available to transit agencies for support to put buses on the street."
He expects the testing to be complete in four to six months.
Several buses have been sold or are in operation under waivers from the FTA, and Proterra has five more near ready to be turned over to buyers. Three have been purchased by San Antonio, Texas, one by General Electric and one for use at the Fort Lewis Army Depot in Washington.

What is the best nail shape/style and length?
long, short, square, pointy, etc.which one do you prefer? do guys find it a turn off when they see a girl with nails that are too long or too short... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Too long is horrible, short with no white is acceptable. A little length without being extreme is probably best, imo. I like the shape being a natural curve like the fingertip, pointy is scary, square is some kind of style that just isn't my preference. I don't think it matters much at all though, as long as they aren't exaggeratedly long.
What kind of condition they're in is something I'd pay more attention to. As long as there isn't something wrong with them, they are nothing to concern yourself with, imo. I don't know about other guys, but I probably wouldn't really notice if you had a great manicure.
Do however you like!
What Guys Said 4
I think girls with nails a couple centimeters past where the nail meets the skin looks fine. So a tiny bit of it hangs off.
Here's a finger. The second line is where the nail meets the skin.
The third line is where I think the nail could be and be okay. I'd rather the nails be shorter than longer though, longer nails are kind of creepy (IMO).
Squoval. That is a word used to describe a nail length that is about 1/8" past the fingertip and has a squared-off shape but with the corners slightly rounded so they are not sharp. This shape will make just about any color look great on your nails, including french.
Ideally, your nail end shape should mimic the shape of your cuticle so the nail looks somewhat balanced. Length has something to do with this though, since you could get by with squared off tips if your nails are longer.
A real turn-off is the shape f the 50s, a sort-of pointy-round shape that make your nails look like claws. It looks dated and tacky, like someone glued cheap fake nails on.
And forget short stubbly nails. Leave that for the guys. When I see women with really shrot nails wearing nail polish, I can;t help to think that they look like guy-nails with paint. Women's hands look best when their fingers look long and dramatic (feminie).
For toenails, keep them just shy from the end of your toes and mostly squared off. Pointy toenails make you look like a hobbit.
LOL about the hobbit bit.

Monck's Landing is a "links-style" layout, inspired by the classic golf courses of the British Isles: treeless, rolling terrain, pot bunkers, high fescue rough.
Located just outside of Norland, Ontario, Monck's Landing is a family-run operation, offering "golf for golfers," that presents a unique golf experience sure to be appreciated by those who enjoy the history and traditions of the game.
Featured in the Fall 2011 issue of SCOREGolf Magazine, which lauded it as "an affordable and gnarly nine-hole links course with plenty of bite", and nominated "Best New Course in Ontario" in 2010 by Fairways Magazine, Monck's Landing has quickly drawn accolades from the Canadian golf press, who have declared the course "engaging", "sporty", and "more akin to Tarandowah near London, Ontario than it is to most cottage golf", as well as being "one of the better golf values in Ontario."
Monck's Landing's dual tee block design affords to those golfers wishing to play
18 holes a "back 9" that presents a layout both differing and distinct from that
experienced the first time around.
Monck's Landing offers up everything from a 92 yard Par 3 to a 586 yard Par 5, providing the proverbial "every club in the bag" golf experience.
A minimum of earth was moved in the construction of Monck's Landing, resulting in a remarkably natural, flowing layout both pleasing to the eye and challenging for all levels of golfers.

The choice of toilet type for your bathroom will depend on its overall style. If the toilet is in a room of its own, to save space it makes sense to fit a toilet that fits neatly into a corner.
The high-level cistern type is the oldest design and suits many period styles. The cistern is mounted on the wall at high level, close to the ceiling, and connected to the pan by a long, surface-mounted flush pipe. This simple wash-down system is operated by a chain. When the cistern flushes, the force of the released water pushes the waste around the trap and down the waste pipe. Although it may be a touch noisy, this system is very efficient. The most common toilet in use today, however, is the standard low-level one, which relies on a siphonic flushing action.
Here, the cistern is mounted on the wall directly above the pan. It is operated by either a handle fixed to the front of the cistern or a button in the top. This type of toilet works efficiently and is the simplest to maintain. The third type of toilet has a concealed cistern fitted behind a false wall. The pan can either be wall-mounted or a standard floor style and suits many modern bathroom designs.All information correct at date of post

Today's Readings: Genesis 47:28-48:22
If Jesus continues to delay His return, all of us will eventually die. To avoid thinking about what it will be like to leave this life and meet God is foolish: "It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart" [1]. Thus, Moses prayed, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" [2].
After seventeen years in Egypt, as Jacob was dying, he asked Joseph: "If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh [3] and promise that you will show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt, but when I rest with my fathers, carry me out of Egypt and bury me where they are buried" [4]. Jacob was not being superstitious [5]; he was reminding Joseph to remember God's covenant.
Thus, Jacob told Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me … in the land of Canaan, and there he blessed me and said to me, 'I am going to make you fruitful and increase your numbers. I will make you a community of peoples, and I will give you this land as an everlasting possession to your descendants after you'" [6]. His burial in Canaan, therefore, was a testimony to his descendants that their hope was in God's promises regarding Canaan, not Egypt.
Amazingly, Jacob's dying concern was not about himself, but about the future of God's people and their faith in His promises. Thus, he called Joseph's two sons – Manasseh and Ephraim – and blessed them as his own [7]: "May the God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked faithfully, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day, the Angel who has delivered me from all harm – may he bless these boys. May they be called by my name and the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, and may they increase greatly on the earth" [8].
Lord, You have made us eternal beings. Yet, we confess that we get captivated by the affairs of this life and forsake thinking about death and the life to come. Teach us to number our days that we may be wise, as we become more concerned about the posterity of Your great name than ours. Amen.
[1] Ecclesiastes 7:2 NIV | [2] Psalm 90:12 NIV | [3] See also Genesis 24 (noting that Abraham asked his servant to place his hand under his thigh as a reminder of the covenant to His people). | [4] Genesis 47:29-30 NIV | [5] Jacob was not being superstitious because he knew that his soul would immediately be with his fathers at death. We know this because of the way that he worded his request. He first said, " … when I rest with my fathers" and then he made his request. Thus, he knew that he would already be resting with his fathers when his body would be moved from Egypt to Canaan. He did not believe that his soul would be stuck in Egypt merely because he would die in Egypt. | [6] Genesis 48:3-4 NIV | [7] Genesis 48:5 NIV | [8] Genesis 48:15-16 NIV.

Addis Ababa — Merera Gudina, a senior opposition figure, called for the withdrawal of Ethiopian troops from Somalia as heavy fighting in the capital Mogadishu claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians.
Merara, leader of the United Ethiopian Democratic Forces (UEDF) party, told The Reporter that the military victory against the Islamic Courts forces was not followed by political victory or national reconciliation which is now postponed to July.
"If you see from the (Ethiopian) government's point of view, the options left are difficult. Pulling out will raise the question: 'why in the first place did Ethiopia go to Somalia?'"
However, Merera warned that staying in Somalia had consequences. "If you see it from the public's viewpoint, I would say pulling out is a better option", he said.
He argued that Ethiopia's poor economy cannot sustain a military presence in Somalia for long. "For a poor country like Ethiopia, interfering in others' business will be a heavy burden."
"America stayed four years in Iraq and nearly sixty years in South Korea militarily. Doing the same thing is difficult for Ethiopia," said Merera, stressing his point that Ethiopia's fragile economy might suffer due to war expenditures in Somalia.
Merera criticized Ethiopian government's choice of "allies" in Somalia who could not so far bring about peace to the country.
"Key figures in the Somali transitional government are well known. They are not saints", Merera said, referring to the many former warlords included in the transitional government.
He accused them of lacking legitimacy in the eyes of the Somali people as many of these warlords lacked popular support due to their past during the decade-and-half-long civil war.
"The warlords were there for 15 or 16 years. Everybody knows them. The Somali people may not be expecting anything new or good from them," he said.

BEAUMONT, Texas -
Joey Wells, who had been associate head coach of the Lamar women's basketball team, is leaving Lamar to take a similar position at Indiana State.
Wells had been on coach Larry Tidwell's staff for each of Tidwell's five seasons at Lamar. During that time, the Lady Cardinals posted an overall record of 106-55 and earned berths in the NCAA Tournament and the postseason WNIT.
"It's been a great five years," Wells said. "I want to thank Coach Tidwell for giving me the opportunity to be a coach at the Division I level and further my career. This wouldn't have been possible without him."
Lamar has already started a national search for Wells' replacement.
"Joey has been a great friend and a great coach," Tidwell said. "He is going to a good team in a tremendous conference (the Missouri Valley Conference). We are definitely going to miss Joey, but it's a great opportunity for him."

COVINGTON - Those seeking a somewhat unconventional donation this holiday season have a chance to do so at the library.For the fifth year, the Newton County Library has erected a gift tree near its front entrance in order to collect items for the library. Until Jan. 2, visitors to the library on Floyd Street can choose an item from the tree - ranging in price from $10 to $75 per item, including a variety of books, audiobooks, DVDs and other items. Greg Heid, director of the library, said the time it takes for a person to make a donation is only a few minutes and makes a great impact on the library. Guests also can choose to make a donation in honor of someone; the library will send a note to that person letting them know of the dedication. "We realize (giving) is hard all around this year," Heid said. "But hopefully, this year people will find a little bit to give." He said this year is especially important for the library to receive help because book and magazine costs have increased and state funding to the library has decreased; Heid said this is unfortunate because during tough economic times, visitors increase their time at the library because of limited money to buy or order books, magazines and other items found at the library. For the past few years, the library has raised between $2,000 and $2,500 to purchase 120 books and videos for the library with its gift tree; this year, officials hope to raise just as much or more in order to buy about the same number of items. Heid said library officials are searching for vendor sales and any discounts they can get so the library can buy as many items as possible. The gift tree is the library's largest fundraising project of the year, sponsored by the Friends of the Library; the library also holds a book sale twice a year to get funding. The library accepts cash, checks or credit cards as forms of payment for its donations. Michelle Floyd can be reached at email@example.com.

Since ssh is a drop in replacement for rsh you can also just replace rsh
with ssh. Anyone object?

Although glucose is the most common sugar, many other carbohydrate compounds are important in cell metabolism. The pathways that break down these sugars yield either glucose or other glycolytic intermediates. Additionally, these pathways can operate in the anabolic direction to transform glycolytic intermediates into other compounds.
It's an unfortunate myth that calories consumed as sugar are better than calories consumed as fat. Both can lead to obesity, if enough are consumed. Foods normally touted as low fat, like fruits, vegetables, and grains, are generally not as calorie ‐dense as "high‐fat" foods, like meat and chocolate candy. Pure carbohydrates yield about 5 kcal of energy per gram and fat about 9 kcal per gram, so the 200 kcal as cocoa (stearic acid) in a small candy bar and the 200 kcal as sugar in a can of soda will contribute equally to obesity. So would the 100 kcal in an apple, except that one tends to eat fewer apples at a sitting. (There's no free lunch—in several senses!) Glucose is converted to pyruvate and then to acetyl‐CoA, which is used for fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acids are reduced relative to the acetyl groups, so reducing equivalents (as NADPH) must be provided to the fatty acid synthetase system. The NADPH comes from the direct oxidation of glucose‐6‐phosphate. Although NAD and NADP differ only by a single phosphate group, their metabolic roles are very different. NAD is kept oxidized so that it is a ready electron acceptor, as in glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase and the TCA cycle. Most of the NADP pool exists in the reduced form, as NADPH. The NADPH is kept ready to donate electrons in biosynthetic reactions.
The pentose phosphate pathway oxidizes glucose to make NADPH and other carbohydrates for biosynthesis (see Figure 1 ). The major route for reduction of NADP to NADPH is the reaction of glucose‐6‐phosphate through two successive reactions. In the first, carbon 1 of glucose is oxidized from an aldol to an ester form (actually, an internal ester, called a lactone) by glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase. In the second reaction, the same carbon is further oxidized to CO 2 and released, leaving behind a 5‐carbon sugar, in a reaction catalyzed by 6‐phosphogluconolactone‐dehydrogenase. Both reactions reduce NADP to NADPH. The 5‐carbon residue is ribulose‐5‐phosphate.
These oxidative reactions that remove electrons from glucose are a major source of the reducing power for biosynthesis. Accordingly, these enzymes are very active in adipose (fatty) tissue. The oxidation of glucose‐6‐phosphate to ribulose‐5‐phosphate and CO 2 is also very active in mammalian red blood cells, where the NADPH produced by the reaction is used to keep the glutathione inside the cell in a reduced state. Reduced glutathione helps prevent the oxidation of the iron in hemoglobin from Fe(II) to Fe(III). Hemoglobin containing Fe(III) is not effective in binding O 2.
Cells that are actively growing need an adequate supply of nucleotides to support RNA and DNA synthesis, and this reaction meets that need.
Alternatively, ribulose‐5‐phosphate can be converted into another 5‐carbon sugar by epimerization (change of one stereoisomer into another) into another pentose, xylulose‐5‐phosphate. This reaction is at equilibrium in the cell:
The first reaction has the shorthand notation:
which stands for the reaction of ribulose‐5‐phosphate and xylulose‐5‐phosphate with transketolase (2‐carbon transfer):
As shown in Figure 2, the 7‐carbon sugar, sedoheptulose‐7‐ phosphate, and the 3‐carbon sugar, glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate, react again, in a reaction catalyzed by transaldolase (3‐carbon transfer):
Figure 2
The overall conversion, then, is the conversion of two pentoses into a tetrose (4‐carbon) molecule and a hexose. Fructose‐6‐phosphate, the hexose, is a glycolytic intermediate and can enter that pathway at this stage. As shown in Figure 3, the 4‐carbon sugar, erythrose‐4‐phosphate, reacts with a molecule of xylulose‐5‐phosphate, catalyzed by transketolase (2‐carbon transfer):
The overall reaction scheme of the pentose phosphate pathway is:
Figure 3
In the sugar interconversion phase, three molecules of ribulose‐ 5‐phosphate have thus been converted to two molecules of fructose‐ 6‐phosphate and one molecule of glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate. These molecules are glycolytic intermediates and can be converted back into glucose, which can, of course, be used for the synthesis of glycogen.
Before galactose can be metabolized by the glycolytic pathway, it must be converted into glucose‐6‐phosphate. The first step in the process is the phosphorylation of galactose into galactose‐1‐phosphate by galactokinase.
Then galactose‐1‐phosphate is transferred to a UMP nucleotide by reaction with the sugar nucleotide, Uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP‐glucose). This reaction liberates glucose‐1‐phosphate, which is converted into glucose‐6‐phosphate by phosphoglucomutase (see Figure 4). (This enzyme is also important in the breakdown of glycogen.)
Figure 4
UDP‐glucose is initially formed by reaction of glucose‐1‐phosphate with UTP and the release of inorganic pyrophosphate (see Figure 5).
Figure 5
Finally, UDP‐galactose is epimerized to UDP‐glucose by the action of UDP‐galactose epimerase (see Figure 6). This UDP‐glucose can be used in the galactosyltransferase reaction.
Figure 6
This elaborate scheme is probably due to the need to guard against the toxic buildup of galactose‐1‐phosphate. Humans who lack the enzymes required for galactose epimerization because they have a genetic deficiency of the enzyme suffer from mental retardation and cataracts. In microorganisms, expression of galactokinase in the absence of the epimerase and transferase inhibits cell growth.

George Clooney ropes Matt Damon into his Tina Fey prankAdd to Favorites | Late Show With David Letterman
Let it never be said that George Clooney isn't the king of pranks in Hollywood. After Tina Fey poked fun at him during the Golden Globes, joking that "Gravity" was "the story of how George Clooney would rather float away and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age," Clooney promised revenge.
He went above and beyond with his prank though, bringing his "Monuments Men" co-star Matt Damon into the mix, though. It all started for Damon when he got two huge fruit baskets at home, each with a letter attached. The first letter contained a heartfelt apology to Damon, from Fey and Amy Poehler, for calling him a garbage man at the Golden Globes.
Then there was the second envelope. Inside was a little with a very different message, which Damon shared on "The Late Show." "Dear, Matt, if your note is part of some George Clooney prank, as I very strongly suspect it is, you A-list amateurs are gonna have to step it the f*** up," Damon reads. "We are not some easily confused starlets you're dealing with here. We are grown-a** professional comediennes. Please accept this fruit as a token of our sincerity. Best wishes, Elizabeth 'Tina' Fey and Amy 'Boston' Poehler."
Seeing as how Damon had no idea what inspired the letters, Clooney shed a little light on the topic during an appearance on "Good Morning America." Clooney faked Matt Damon stationery and sent a letter to Fey, reading, "Dear Tina, I may sound like a hypocrite because I laughed at the jokes about George and about Leo but they're kind of known for that and, you know, when you called me a garbage man, you know, it really hurt me and my kid calls me a garbage man now."
This isn't the end of Clooney's prank war against Fey and Poehler, though. In fact, he already knows what comes next and it's big. "I'm doing something that I'm actually ashamed of, that's going to hurt them," he hints. Whatever it is should be pretty good.
Check out Damon and Clooney's takes on the prank war below.

PeopleSoft eases install hassles
- Related Stories
PeopleSoft aims for three marketsNovember 3, 1998
The Pleasanton, California-based firm, already known for its dedication to service, announced this week at its user group conference here a new program for speeding up and easing implementations of its enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.
Business software makers like PeopleSoft are all pushing programs designed to streamline the process of implementing their massive software systems. The programs usually consist of services and pre-configured software that meets the majority of a company's needs.
For the new program called PeopleSoft Advantage, the firm is introducing its new PeopleSoft implementation toolkit and the PeopleSoft Express rapid implementation program with a fixed-cost option.
"PeopleSoft has always been dedicated to customer success, and we wrote the book on rapid implementations," said Dave Duffield, PeopleSoft's president and chief executive. "PeopleSoft Advantage allows PeopleSoft consultants and partners to address the needs of customers through every phase of the application lifecycle using PeopleSoft."
The toolkit is a Web-based guide to all things PeopleSoft. It is a database and analysis tool that users can call on to figure out how to go about, say, an upgrade, or customizing a specific application to a firm's unique processes. It contains information and guidance for the entire software cycle, from selecting software to implementing it, operating it and upgrading it.
It comes with an implementation workbench for planning and then carrying out and documenting implementations, and future releases of the toolkit are to come with industry specific programs.
The toolkit is currently in beta test. General release is scheduled for the first quarter of next year. PeopleSoft Express is to be ready at the same time.

Since nutritional care is an important part of the healing process, each meal prepared for our inpatients will be done so according to specific doctor's orders. Physicians may also change diet orders or delay meals until certain tests are performed or medications are administered.
A nutritional care team, which includes a registered dietician, coordinates all of out patients' meal services. We will always do everything in our power to make a patient's meal enjoyable while still meeting individual dietary restrictions. Patients may also ask to speak with a clinical dietician to discuss individual nutrition therapy and/or diet education needs.
Patient families or friends who would like to bring food from outside the facility must first get permission from a nurse or dietician to ensure that they meet the patient's dietary criteria.
The Sierra View Medical Center Café is open to the public and serves breakfast from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.; lunch from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; and dinner from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Outside food may be brought in and eaten in our dining room, which is open 24 hours a day. Vending machines are also available around the clock.

It's counter-intuitive, but when it comes to personalizing education, the best-funded schools may be falling behind their more challenged counterparts.
So says Ann Henson, Vice President of Curriculum and Instruction for CompassLearning. Prior to joining CompassLearning, Ms. Henson was a high school math and computer science teacher and worked at a district level on curriculum development. We really like the organization' mission statement, which reads: CompassLearning is dedicated to facilitating student success by collaborating with educators to deliver personalized learning experiences.
"The primary drivers that get us new clients," says Henson, "Are high dropout rates and low test scores. We also get a lot of demand in districts where there are a shortage of qualified teachers, or in rural districts that are missing teachers in certain subject areas."
The toughest place to introduce personalized education (differentiated instruction that is meaningfully enabled by technology) is at the secondary school level, reports Henson. "Secondary is the most resistant to this. They teach subjects, not kids. The primary places that secondary schools are willing to move to individualized approach is in alternative schools and places where there are challenges already."
I have anecdotal experiences that reinforce this. Over the past 18 months I discussed personalization with both the superintendent of Westport, Connecticut schools and the principal of Westport's Staples High School. Westport is a very well-funded school system and the town is populated by adults who fiercely defend the town's educational system. But both educators see personalization as something far short of technology-enabled differentiated instruction. For example, they cite frequent recognition of students with awards as evidence of personalization, but this has nothing to do with changing lesson plans based on a student's needs.
So perhaps well-funded school systems are still more inclined to pay for teachers instead of technology? But even a great teacher has trouble handing the diverse needs of 28 kids in a single classroom. Change is coming, despite the obstacles.
"Differentiated instruction is central to what we do." says Henson. "In our best implementations, after working with the customer to identify needs, it is usually obvious that what is needed is to personalize instruction. The world has more information than you can teach in twelve years using traditional methods. Now you have to look at how you can optimize and accelerate education. The only way you can do this is through technology."
"But schools aren't always able do what we recommend," admits Henson. "Lots of systems use us for a specific targeted group, such as math students, or an upper quartile group that needs enrichment. This is more due to budget restrictions than anything else."
To help spur usage and adoption, CompassLearning recently moved to unlimited users licenses. This means that schools don't have to pay extra for more licenses or more usage. If more classes sign on, the cost doesn't go up. If parents monitor their kids' progress, again, the cost does not go up.
Still, hardware remains a limiting factor. A school may have 100 computers and 600 kids. The software can also be used at home, but students in poor areas often do not have access to a computer at home.
Despite such hurdles, the concept of differentiated instruction makes overwhelming sense. Technology, used properly, makes it possible to recognize where individual students are having trouble and to focus teaching and practice on those specific problem areas.
Henson explains, "Over the last few years, as we develop content, we take each teaching objective, and see what kind of mistakes kids make. Let's say we're building a geometry course, we track what kind of mistakes kids make when learning equations. Then reteaching is based on common errors."
She doesn't mean when a student makes a mistake you reteach him all the areas where students typically make mistakes. She means you reteach the specific areas in which that student made mistakes. To do this, her team develops content for each of those common mistakes.
Henson is optimistic about the future. "Over the last six to twelve months, funding has loosened up for us.
I've been in this 22 years. I see people in public education thinking we really need to start over and do this differently. The data is waking people up. In education as a whole, we are still doing what we did in 1950. Fortunately, there are more pioneers than there used to be."
CompassLearning Odyssey offers schools and districts a complete, online K-12 curriculum and assessment solution. Each course is filled with personalized, engaging, and age-appropriate curriculum based on the most current and confirmed research about how students think and learn. Unlimited-user licensing means that every student at a school will have access to the Odyssey curriculum both at school and at home. Schools are not forced to share licenses or limit use of the program to specialized populations. The company also offers coaching, mentoring, and modeling services and a variety of customer support options to ensure teacher success.

A Farkas Fairytale
January 18 2010
Based on the true story of Leonardo Farkas, a highly successful Chilean businessman. Our client represented Farkas and required a very personal video created for a very special event. The video was to depict the life story of Leonardo Farkus in just 3 minutes.
After developing an approved script, our artists started sketching out the storyboards for the next approval stage, we then suggested that we use the storyboard images in a pop up book style and animate them using the puppet tool in After Effects. Once we showed our client a sample scene they loved the effect and asked us to proceed.
The whole video was created using sketches coloured in Photoshop and animated in After Effects.

The French concede………..again
So, unless you've been under a rock the last few years you know that Iran has been trying to get nukes, threatening America and Israel, and basically thumbing their nose at the rest of the world. This is something that's going to get nasty sooner rather then later..probably right around the time a Democrat wins the White House and Ahmedinejad feels safe from attack (let's face it…would a democrat scare in the white house scare anyone other then Republicans?).
Most of the world, well the parts of the world not getting guns from Iran or making money off them, are against this and are working either behind the scenes or in front of them to try and stop Iran from getting these nukes. Let's face it, they get a nuke or 3 and we will have REAL problems in the middle east. So Chirac over in
WhiteFlagLand er France has decided to be proactive and is already surrendering to Iran on the Nuke issue. Seems now he's got no problem with Iran having 2-3 because in his words.
"I would say that what is dangerous about this situation is not the fact of having a nuclear bomb,†he said. "Having one or perhaps a second bomb a little later, well, that's not very dangerous.
Sure 1 maybe 2 are ok..1 for Israel and one for them to try and get over at America. He goes on to say
"But what is very dangerous is proliferation. This means that if Iran continues in the direction it has taken and totally masters nuclear-generated electricity, the danger does not lie in the bomb it will have, and which will be of no use to it.â€
Now how does that sentence make any sense? What if Iran has tons of Nuke generated electricity it won't need a bomb? Will that type of electricity all of a sudden make Islam a peaceful religion able to get along with Jews and Christians without wanting to behead them or make them slaves? Oh wait Chirac goes on to offer a totally plausible reason why Iran wouldn't be a threat with nukes.
"Where will it drop it, this bomb? On Israel?†Mr. Chirac asked. "It would not have gone 200 meters into the atmosphere before Tehran would be razed.â€
Um Dude…you know that cult followers of Islam believe that they get 72 virgins yadda yadda if they die killing Jews and Infidels so you think Ahmedinejad is worried about Tehran getting razed if he gets to take out Israel? Please the guy is a 12th Iman nutcase who would like to see a destabilized world since he believes that will usher in the return of his Iman. So tell us again why it's ok for Iran to have a "few nukes"?Sphere: Related Content
