After 17 exciting weeks, the postseason is here. All the divisions and seeds have been decided, and the speculation has begun. Seattle and Denver have the top seeds in their conferences, and the teams below them are looking for upsets.
There will be several storylines to follow. Can Peyton Manning add a Super Bowl win to his record-setting season? Will anyone take down the mighty Seahawks in the NFC? In a few weeks, we'll have all the answers. But until then, enjoy the playoffs — and thanks for following our power rankings all season long!
Tell us where you think your team should be ranked in the comments!
1. Seattle Seahawks (13-3, Last Week: 1)
The Seahawks clinched the top seed in the NFC, and have a one-week break to see who they will host in the divisional round. They lost at home in week 16, which took away much of the fear the league had about playing them in their noisy stadium, but the Seahawks are still built to win a Super Bowl. They score 26 points a game and allow only 14.4. That's a winning combination.
2. Denver Broncos (13-3, Last Week: 2)
Denver's defense isn't quite at an elite level, but there hasn't been a better offense in league history. In their 34-14 win over Oakland last weekend, the Broncos set a single-season record with 606 points, and Peyton Manning set a record for most passing yards in a season. Manning must still prove he can play in cold weather and put up points in the postseason, but if any team is equipped to take down the league's best defenses, it's Denver.
3. San Francisco 49ers (12-4, Last Week: 5)
The 49ers are the No. 5 seed in the NFC, but no one is expecting them to be a one-and-done team this postseason. Winners of six in a row to the end the regular season, the 49ers are on a roll. With a strong running game and defense, and a dynamic quarterback in Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco can get back to the Super Bowl.
4. Carolina Panthers (12-4, Last Week: 4)
Like the 49ers, Carolina has a strong defense and a game-changing quarterback. The only difference is that the Panthers are a higher seed, and can enjoy a bye week to start the playoffs. Cam Newton can make plays with his arm and his legs, and the Panthers can beat any team if he's playing well.
5. New England Patriots (12-4, Last Week: 7)
No matter what happens, the Patriots are always going to be one of the top teams in the playoffs. This season proved that. Despite injuries to key players, New England is a No. 2 seed. It will be tough for the Pats to get to the Super Bowl, but don't be surprised if they get to the conference championship.
6. Philadelphia Eagles (10-6, Last Week: 16)
With the NFC East on the line, the Eagles stepped up and won their regular season finale against Dallas. They're entering the playoffs after going 4-1 in their last five games, and their offense can move the ball through the air and on the ground. Philadelphia can continue winning by taking down No. 6 seed New Orleans on Saturday.
7. Green Bay Packers (8-7-1, Last Week: 17)
With Aaron Rodgers back, the Packers beat Chicago and won the NFC North. Now that they have their leader in the huddle again, Green Bay is much more of a threat to advance in the postseason. The Packers will have to get past San Francisco this weekend, but just getting to the playoffs is a great accomplishment for a team that had to go without its star quarterback for almost half the season.
8. Cincinnati Bengals (11-5, Last Week: 15)
The Bengals are talented and in the playoffs, but we don't know what to expect from them. In their win over Baltimore last weekend, for example, quarterback Andy Dalton threw two touchdowns and four interceptions. Cincinnati won't win any playoff games with that many turnovers, so the Bengals must make sure they're more consistent in the postseason than they were in the regular season.
9. Indianapolis Colts (11-5, Last Week: 11)
The Colts are another team that could be a contender or a first-round loser in the playoffs. Andrew Luck is certainly a good quarterback, but his production hasn't been at an elite level this year. Indy will also need to improve its running game to have a chance to win in the postseason. Their journey starts against Kansas City on Saturday, a team the Colts have already defeated this season.
10. Kansas City Chiefs (11-5, Last Week: 3)
The Chiefs lost their last regular season game and aren't considered as scary as they were earlier this season. Teams will still fear them, though, because they can defend and score. Kansas City's defense was its strongest element early in the season, but running back Jamaal Charles is dangerous as a receiver and a runner, and can singlehandedly make his offense a threat to score on every possession.
11. San Diego Chargers (9-7, Last Week: 14)
The Chargers snuck into the playoffs. Now they must show that they belong there.
12. New Orleans Saints (11-5, Last week: 9)
New Orleans has gotten plenty of criticism for not winning on the road. The Saints will have to do just that against Philadelphia to keep their season alive.
13. Arizona Cardinals (10-6, Last week: 10)
Arizona is the best non-playoff team in the league. Look out for them next year.
14. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8, Last week: 18)
The Steelers have a proud tradition, and must figure out how to get back in the playoffs next season.
15. Chicago Bears (8-8, Last week: 12)
This season looked like a promising one for the Bears, but it didn't end that way after a week 17 loss to Green Bay.
16. Dallas Cowboys (8-8, Last week: 13)
After a heartbreaking loss to the Eagles last weekend, the Cowboys must be wondering what it will take for them to get to the postseason.
17. Baltimore Ravens (8-8, Last week: 16)
The Super Bowl champs won't get to defend their title after a mediocre year.
18. Miami Dolphins (8-8, Last week: 15)
The Dolphins were one of the league's better teams, but they'll have to figure out how to make the playoffs in a competitive AFC East.
19. New York Jets (8-8, Last week: 21)
The Jets should be happy with the way they finished the season. Now they need to focus on building a more consistent team.
20. Tennessee Titans (7-9, Last week: 22)
If the AFC South remains a weak division, the Titans could play for a wild-card spot next year.
21. New York Giants (7-9, Last week: 25)
The Giants have talent. They need to figure out how to use it to make it back to the playoffs. Otherwise, they'll continue to be a disappointment.
22. Detroit Lions (7-9, Last week: 20)
After a horrible ending to their season, the Lions fired head coach Jim Schwartz. Now they must focus on avoiding late-season losses next year.
23. St. Louis Rams (7-9, Last week: 20)
The NFC West was a very competitive division this season, and the Rams held up well. They should be a solid team next year.
24. Buffalo Bills (6-10, Last week: 23)
The Bills are a young team in a good division. It might be a few more years before they can make the postseason, but Buffalo should show steady improvement.
25. Minnesota Vikings (5-10-1, Last week: 24)
After a bad year, the Vikings will have a new head coach for 2014. They also need more talent to help star running back Adrian Peterson.
26. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-12, Last week: 31)
Though their record is one of the worst in the league, the Jaguars showed a lot of grit to move past a terrible start to the season.
27. Atlanta Falcons (4-12, Last week: 26)
After losing late to the 49ers, the Falcons had a second-straight competitive game against a contender, losing 21-20 to the Panthers. Those games should provide some hope for next year.
28. Oakland Raiders (4-12, Last week: 28)
The Raiders have a lot of questions to answer. They need a productive offseason before they can even think about getting a winning record.
29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-12, Last week: 30)
Tampa Bay needs 2014 to be a fresh start after a forgettable 2013 season.
30. Washington Redskins(3-13 Last week: 29)
Last year at this time, everyone loved Robert Griffin III. Now, everyone is wondering whether he can be the quarterback of the future for Washington.
31. Cleveland Browns (4-12, Last week: 27)
The Browns need a new coach and a new start.
32. Houston Texans (2-14, Last week: 32)
The Texans carry a 14-game losing streak into the offseason. Their first win of 2014 will be like winning the Super Bowl.

Harvest When Small
By mid-March, our radishes seemed to be growing by the hour and were practically popping out of the ground.
Tip: Pick radishes when they're still small—about golf ball–sized. When they get too big, they become slightly bitter and woody. Cool weather also helps keep them sweet and mild. Radishes harvested in summer heat will have a much sharper bite.

Hello beautiful. So sexy. One of the best I've seen so far.
She is gorgeous
Gorgeous, but she's one of those rare halleberryesque cases who look better with the short haircurt. Also, she needs to put back that short b/w striped dress with the awesome ass of which I can't find any pics anymore, WTF?
I love the word halleberryesque. I know exactly what you mean.
Her sister Monica is hotter (and better actress)
What sister Monica? No mention of a sister on Wiki, or any place else I can find.
Running joke.
Try to keep up. :-)
So pretty and did a great job on V.

Tony Sparano failed to revive the Jets' moribund attack during his one-season stint as the team's offensive coordinator.
- Filed Under
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Tony Sparano has been fired as the Jets' offensive coordinator after one season in which the offense ranked among the NFL's worst.
Sparano was hired last March to replace Brian Schottenheimer and take over an offense that struggled mightily. Instead, the former Miami Dolphins head coach wasn't able to jumpstart the running game or figure out a way to use Tim Tebow consistently, ...

November 27, 2015
ENTERPRISE, Ala. (AP) - In a sorrowful South, President Bush saw disheartening devastation from killer tornadoes and wandered through the shattered Enterprise, Alabama school where eight students died.
After talking to teenagers grieving for their classmates at Enterprise High School, the president said, "Out of devastation can come hope and a better tomorrow."
He climbed over piles of concrete, roofing, insulation, broken glass and textbooks.
Be strong and set an example for the other 12-hundred students, Bush told four youngsters, all holding hands, as they spoke with him.
Down hallway three, lined by blue lockers, the president went in private, the corridor where the eight students succumbed and scores more were trapped in Thursday's storm.
The president also saw the school wing, now just rubble, where students had hunkered down -- and survived -- as the tornado approached.
"Today I have walked through devastation that is hard to describe," he said, standing with students, one of whom had a tear running down her face. "A hundred kids got out of here alive, which is a miracle."
During the visit, Bush designated Coffee County as a disaster area, releasing federal dollars for recovery and individual assistance. His disaster relief chief came along for a firsthand look at the damage so he could make quick recommendations to the White House on requests for help from Washington.

Droid topping 250,000 users in one week?
updated 05:35 pm EST, Fri November 13, 2009
Moto Droid sales may have accelerated
A new set of extrapolated data from location network developer uLocate suggests that active users of the Droid may have more than doubled in the first week of sales. Third-party estimates indicated that Verizon may have only sold 100,000 launch units, but uLocate says it will have detected about 25,000 new Droids on its network by Saturday. As uLocate's information usually represents about 10 percent of the actual user base of a phone when it's new, the figure would translate to about 250,000 total Droid users.
A related map also shows the regional bias for the phone. Obvious major city centers are the largest adoptees, with 12 percent of Droids located in New York; 6 percent are in Los Angeles while Washington, DC has 5 percent.
The data is likely to vary significantly from actual numbers but hints at a positive trend for Motorola's phone. Both Motorola and Verizon are depending heavily on the Android hardware to carry their holiday season and have large marketing campaigns tied into the device. Droid numbers are just a fraction of iPhone numbers but, if reflected in the uLocate numbers, are faring significantly better than the reception to the Palm Pre, whose numbers declined shortly after it began shipping in June.

NCAA championships
The meet: CSU runs 10K race at 10 a.m. Saturday at LaVern Gibson Championship course in Terre Haute, Ind.
Watch: live-stream online at www.ncaa.com/liveschedule/2013/11/23
The 27th-ranked CSU mens cross country team runs at the NCAA Cross Country Championships on Saturday in Terre Haute, Ind. The Rams run the 10K race at 10 a.m. MT at the LaVern Gibson Championship cross country course.
Its the first trip to the NCAA Championships for Colorado State University since 2004, when the Rams placed 29th, and only the 11th time in the programs history.
All-Mountain Region runners Alex Muntefering and Christian Meyer lead the team, but four different CSU runners have won a race this season for the Rams.
Oklahoma State won the mens title last year, while Oregon won the womens title.
Mountain Region teams Northern Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Brigham Young figure to be in the running for the team title on the mens side.
Fans can watch a live-stream of the race online at www.ncaa.com/liveschedule/2013/11/23.
The top 40 individual finishers will be awarded All-America honors. The last CSU mens All-American was Mike Nicks, who finished 36th overall in 2004.

With just a few weeks left until the government's state and federal health-care exchanges formally launch, companies are continuing to navigate their way through the new law. And as they work to become compliant privately-run company exchanges have become more popular, and experts are divided as to whether these marketplaces are a win or loss for consumers.
Several big corporations, including Sears (NASDAQ: SHLD) and Darden (DRI) announced last year that they plan to move their employees into private exchanges for group insurance coverage. More recently, IBM (IBM) and Time Warner (TWX) announced they will move retirees into privately-run company exchanges as well, and could eventually move their current workers into the same model.
And while private exchanges are still a minority in the marketplace, new research shows that by 2017, private exchange participation will approach public exchange enrollment levels. Research from global management consulting firm Accenture predicts projects nearly 18% of the American public will purchase insurance through these employer and insurance-run marketplaces, and that one in four employers are expressing interest in these exchanges.
These private exchanges are a result of companies looking to lessen the cost burden of retiree health-care coverage, says Susan Dentzer, senior policy adviser to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
"This has been a long-term trend, of companies slowly getting out of the business of offering coverage for retirees. A number of years ago, companies were required to put these liabilities on the books, and they woke up and realized how big these commitments were," Dentzer says. "Companies decided not to have an open-ended benefit plan and moved toward a defined contribution model, giving retirees a fixed amount of money and sending them to buy coverage."

The exchanges are separate and non-related to Obamacare exchanges, she adds.
Many companies, both large and small, will be interested to see how federally-run exchanges are executed before deciding if the private model would work well for their employees and bottom line, she says.
"Companies are in a wait-and-see mode," Dentzer says. "They are looking at private exchanges and the marketplaces under the [health law] to see how they develop. For consumers, private exchanges offer more options. They could have four to 10 providers to choose from whereas at a smaller company they may have just one or two."
And it's important to note that while larger companies have been at the forefront of offering these private exchanges, smaller businesses shouldn't rule out the option. The Northeast Business Group has a Health Pass program that helps small businesses to offer affordable insurance options for workers, says Paul Howard, director and senior fellow at the Center for Medical Progress at the Manhattan Institute.
In fact, Howard says private company-run marketplaces can be attractive to consumers because they can bundle coverage for health care, auto, home to get better rates.
"It's a great option for employees to give them more personalization and choice in their health plans," he says. "This encourages employees and insurers to stay in a long-term relationship and also encourages the insurer to focus on wellness, keep [beneficiaries] healthy and to keep costs down."
Such exchanges also encourage consumers to make smarter choices on their own, he says.
"For decades, health-care costs have been rising faster than inflation, GDP or wage growth. When it comes to employee premiums for health insurance, higher premium costs mean less take home pay and other non-health benefits," Howard says. "By putting more power in employees' hands to choose personalized health-insurance options, private insurance exchanges can help employees pick the right plans for themselves and their families."
These exchanges, if done right, could drive down insurance premiums and encourage providers to be more efficient, he says.
"That will also leave more money in workers' paychecks—that's a win for employees and employers," Howard says.
But Devon Herrick, senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis, cautions that lower-wage workers may fare better in government-run exchanges, thanks to ObamaCare's subsidies. The subsidies will be available for those with incomes at about 400% of the poverty level and below.
"If you are a low-wage worker, or even a moderate-wage worker, you may do better in the federal exchange because of the subsidies, which limit your premiums to roughly 2% of your annual income," he says.
Regardless, interest in the exchange format is undeniable, says Herrick.
"We are already seeing these things crop up because the law creates requirements and regulations on what employers have to do," he says. "We are already seeing larger companies partner with insurance companies and consultancies to more easily manage benefits."

There is no shortage of confidence for the Chapin High School softball program as it enters today's first game of the Class 4A regional semifinals against Aledo.
The Huskies, ranked No. 1 in the city and No. 5 in the state, have already made school history by reaching the regional semifinals for the first time in school history, but, more importantly, continue to play well as they have all season.
"We believe in ourselves and we believe we have what it takes to keep going," catcher Zoe Murillo said. "We have a lot of great leadership on this team and we're going to give it our best shot."
The Huskies defeated Plainview to reach this weekend's best two-of-three game series.
Chapin's power offense has been led this year by Murillo, Brianna Gonzalez and Brittany Martinez among others.
"We have a lot of big bats and lots of people who contribute to our offense," Chapin coach Kevin Mills said.
"We've had different people step up for us at various times throughout the season."
Senior pitcher Kaitlin Fifield has been Chapin's ace in the circle this year and is feared by opponents. The UTEP signee is 6-1 in the playoffs and been tough on opponents all season long with her consistency. Her overall record is a stellar 15-1.
"Aledo will be another challenge for our team and for me in the circle," Fifield said. "I just have to continue to stay relaxed and pitch my game. We're really playing well as a team in every phase of the game."
Aledo, which is ranked No. 10 in the state, has a strong club as well. The Ladycats knocked off Denton Guyer to reach the regional semifinals. Aledo is led by pitcher Lauren Craine and Ally Gabbert at third base. Gabbert had the game-winning single against Denton Guyer in the first game of the regional quarterfinals.
"Aledo is a good team," Mills said. "Every time you advance in the playoffs, the teams get better. Plainview was a good test of us in the last round. I like how our team has responded in each step of the playoffs. We feel like we match up pretty good with Aledo."

The Collingwood Football Club began in 1892 from humble beginnings and were a foundation club of the VFL in 1897. Nicknamed the 'Magpies', they are the most popular club in the land who play their home matches at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and club colours are the famous black and white stripe.
Collingwood has won 15 premierships throughout the years and sit third behind Essendon and Carlton who have won 16 each. Collingwood are the only team in the VFL/AFL to win four premierships in a row, with four wins from 1927 to 1930, and the Pies are still the only club to go through a full home and away season undefeated which they did in 1929.
The Pies are the most supported club in the AFL and attract more fans to their games than any other club in the league, with 50,000+ fans on average, and upwards of 90,000+ to showpiece games such as the Anzac Day clash with Essendon or matches with arch rivals Carlton.

Collingwood in 2014
After a promising start to the season where they looked on track for a Top 4 spot, the wheels well and truly fell off for the Magpies the further the season progressed and they eventually missed the eight, finishing in 11th spot with 11 wins.
The Pies were tested with injuries to key players throughout the season, Nathan Brown & Bruce Reid to name a couple, and Dane Swan also had his quietest season for a while due to ongoing injuires. The much heralded Travis Cloke & Jesse White forward combination disintegrated after a great start.
Coach Nathan Buckley was able to blood a number of young players and defender Tom Langdon had a consistent first season, while Tim Broomhead showed he will be good prospect for Collingwood in the years ahead.
The Pies are due for a change of luck with injuries and if they can get all their players on the pitch they are capable of taking it up to all sides, bar Hawthorn.

Let's assume [Obama] wins re-election. I don't think anybody sees Joe Biden, who will by then be 74 as a future President. The Democrats have four years to find and develop a rising star. Who is on the horizon now? I would have to say that on November 7 Hillary would be the odds-on favorite to be the next nominee. She'll likely step down after this term and that will give her four years to catch up on her rest, make another fortune on the private side, burnish her reputation further with Bill's Foundation, and raise a war chest for the election.
She would seem nearly unbeatable. Even now she is one of the few Democrats who seems unassailable. Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are able to reference her admirably and get applause. They see it as a dig at the President, but he has the last laugh. After they mixed it up, he chose her for the biggest job she's ever had. And he did her the greatest favor imaginable. Rather than spending the last four years in the morass of the Senate, she has been out getting things done in a place where Republicans can't obstruct her.

|Horton is dealing with his second concussion within one year. (Getty Images)
When Nathan Horton was concussed last year, he didn't seem all that worse for the wear. Sure, he missed the last four games of the Stanley Cup Finals, but he reported not feeling bad by the time the series was done and the Bruins were champs.
He felt good enough to travel with the team and bring the Bruins some good luck.
This most recent concussion, though? Doesn't seem to be going as smoothly.
Horton has been out of the lineup since Jan. 22 thanks to a hit from Tom Sestito of the Flyers. The B's have been taking his recovery slowly, obviously in no rush to get him back right away. That's one of the benefits of the cushion they have, not to mention the depth.
Unfortunately, even with their cautious approach, Horton suffered a setback on Friday after trying to take to the ice for a solo skate.
"He's been pulled back," coach Claude Julien said. "He's got some symptoms. So we've pulled him back. It's hard for me to come out every day with a step forward, step backward. He's back to square one. We're giving him some time here. Those symptoms, once he got on the ice, came back."
As for what those symptoms are? The usual things you'd associate with a concussion, headaches chief among them.
This is the fickle nature of concussions. Even when you seem to be doing things the right way and taking it slow, you can revert right back to square one, as Julien puts it. The same happened with Nicklas Backstrom of the Capitals.
Read into this what you will, but since Jan. 22 the Bruins are just 2-4-0. In three of those six games less than two goals, twice being shut out.
Before the concussion, Horton had 17 goals to go with 15 assists on the season playing on the top line.

|A tube for enteral nutrition of patients with aphagopraxia and patients with ventilator assistance.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 6806925 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|A new feeding tube was designed for use in patients who cannot swallow. A comparison of our ability to pass a commercially available, mercury weighted, small feeding tube or the new, nonweighted feeding tube was made. Forty-one consecutive patients who had endotracheal intubation and who had mechanical ventilation assistance or who had suffered injuries to the central nervous system, producing aphagopraxia were compared. In the 22 patients in whom the guided tube system was first tried, enteric support was possible in 20. Gastric placement was possible in only 12 of 19 patients in whom the mercury weighted tubes were first tried and in only one of these patients did the tube pass into the small intestine beyond the ligament of Treitz. Seventeen of 20 nonweighted tubes passed into the small intestine. The newly designed small feeding tube system should be used as the initial means of gaining access to the intestine for enteric nutritional support of patients in intensive care units and after strokes or neurologic injuries when the patient cannot swallow.

>Sonora / Tuolumne News, Sports, & Weather, Angels Camp, Twain Harte, Jamestown | Union Democrat
By KEVIN SAULS
Mike Abernathy, a former three-sport star at Sonora High School now living in Fort Collins, Colo., has been invited to try out for the U.S. Olympic men's fastpitch team.
The team will be selected during three days of intensive workouts and competition Jan. 26 to 28 at the Arco Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, near San Diego. Abernathy, 28, will be among about 40 players vying for perhaps 20 spots on the team, which will represent the U.S. in the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, Greece.
He was invited to the tryouts by head coach Pete Turner Jr., against whom Abernathy played in the Amateur Softball Association "A" Nationals last summer in Lancaster.
"I hit a home run off him in in the championship game," Abernathy said, recalling the 10-9 victory his team, Fresno Lyons, posted over Turner's San Joaquin Sharks of Stockton.
Playing with Turner were two other Sonora products, Mike Butler and Nate Devine. Butler was invited to the Olympic tryouts, but at last report would not be able to participate.
Abernathy is a shortstop by trade, but is willing to play just about anywhere for the Olympic team.
"I'm planning to be versatile," he said. "I can play anywhere on the infield except first base I probably could play first, but I've never done it before and anywhere in the outfield."
Abernathy first caught the eye of national-team selectors while playing for Verner Construction of Stockton in the 2000 A Nationals in Texas. He was surprised when he was approached by representatives of a selection committee that scouts big tournaments nationwide for prospects.
"You play this game for fun, with friends and family, and all of a sudden I find out there's this national committee and national team," Abernathy said.

Farmworker at Lipman Produce load tomatoes on a truck from a second harvest of tomato plants, Thursday, Jan. 16, 2014 in Naples, Fla. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. on Thursday joined an initiative that will require its Florida tomato suppliers to increase farmworker pay and protect workers from forced labor and sexual assault, among other things. The nation's largest retailer became the most influential corporation to join the initiative promoted by a coalition of farmworker activists based in southwest Florida. Farmworkers with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers said they welcomed Wal-Mart to its Fair Food Program since no other company has the market strength and consumer reach it has when it comes to selling produce. Also at the table, John Amaya, vice president, global food and consumable sourcing at Wal-Mart, and Gerardo Reys-Chavez, right, with the CIW. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)

For those accustomed to middle-class wages and workplaces, recent improvements in the region's tomato fields might not seem radical - time clocks, outdoor shade and 80 extra bucks a week.
But for southwest Florida's farmworkers, they've been huge.
Historic, even, says Wilson Perez, one of the people in the middle of changes to the state's $650 million tomato industry. Most recently, the largest retailer on the planet, Wal-Mart, pledged unprecedented support to farmworkers. ...

Staff Writer
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have presented some amazing news for Africa. According to a recently released report, Africa Pulse, Africa will experience a 5.4 percent growth rate this year, when you remove South Africa's sluggish economy from the calculation. Reports of good percentage growth for Africa's economy have been arriving for some time; this is neither the first time nor, hopefully, the last. But the report every African would appreciate seeing is how these strong growth rates translate into competent civil service; decent roads; factories that produce durable goods; increased access to drinking water; and African economies producing a wider array of value-added goods. It has become clear, over the numerous years that strong growth numbers have been reported for the continent, that they stubbornly do not translate into a noticeable change in the plight of everyday Africans. The report's accompanying statement from Obiageli 'Oby' Ezekwesili, the World Bank's vice president for Africa, and a former Nigerian minister of mineral resources, expresses this concern succinctly:
"In view of the turbulence that has beset the global economy in the last five years, many would be right to think that the prospects for Africa are terrible. But as this issue of Africa's Pulse shows, African economies continue to show resilience and some of the fastest-growing economies in the world are now in Africa. The urgent agenda remains sustaining the macroeconomic reforms while accelerating the structural reforms that will deliver the right quality of growth that creates jobs and raises incomes on the continent."
African economies are disproportionately reliant on natural resources—oil and raw materials, for the most part. Oil exporting sub-Saharan countries are projected to grow by 7.3% in 2012, buoyed by oil production in Angola. South Africa, the one exception, is experiencing a slower growth rate than the rest of the continent. It is because it is the only country in Africa that has a healthy percentage of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) coming from value-added products meant for consumption by developed countries—mainly Europe—where demand has slumped due to the global financial meltdown. Europe accounts for one-third of South Africa's manufactured goods market, which means the continent-wide economic slump has eaten into South Africa's growth. The strong growth the report refers to comes from the recent high demand for the raw materials Africa has historically provided the global market.
These raw materials do not leave the continent in a value-added form, which would be the case if the continent had factories to manufacture the products. Investments in manufacturing—the necessary next step for Africa to realise sustainable growth and development—are not coming. The governments of countries who see their treasuries swell during periods of high-priced raw materials and crude oil do not invest in manufacturing that would turn those raw materials into the value-added products that are worth three to four times more on the global market. Eventually, the global prices for these raw materials fall—it is their nature to fluctuate since their prices are based on speculation—and Africa's treasuries bottom out accordingly.
The pendulum has swung like this for some time now. It is certainly great news to hear that the global economic crisis has not left Africa a victim as many had feared. It should, however, not be taken lightly the immediate threats to this good news. Record droughts and crop failures have been register in recent months, and a few more are expected to bring grave realities on millions. This good news, and many like it to come in the future are opportunities to create lasting and sustainable results that better the lives of Africans. The continents people should not live at the mercy of speculative commodity markets. We have seen how detrimental this has been in the past.

Question: Can you explain the differences between solid yellow, solid white, broken yellow and broken white roadway lines?
Answer: Since the mid-1920s, transportation officials have recognized the need for a uniform system of roadway markings. The first manual of traffic control devices was published in 1935 and has been updated and revised as needed since that time.
Roadway lines are in place to tell drivers where their cars should be within lanes. Solid yellow lines separate lanes that carry traffic in opposing directions and signal drivers that they should not cross into the adjacent lane. Solid white lines mark the edge of the roadway or divide multiple lanes of same-direction traffic. Broken or dashed yellow lines separate lanes that carry traffic in opposing directions, signaling drivers that they can pass if it is done in a safe manner. Broken white lines separate two or more lanes of same direction traffic, signaling drivers that they can switch lanes if done in a safe manner.
The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices provides uniform guidelines for all traffic control signs, signals and roadway markings.
