NEW YORK Lehman Brothers'LEM.MX U.S. brokerage on Tuesday finalized settlements with the former financial giant's parent and European entities, resolving nearly $44 billion in customer claims and paving the way for full repayment to the brokerage's former customers.
Though deals were initially announced last year, details were ironed out and revealed in court papers and statements by the parties on Tuesday. Lehman's parent will be allowed a $2.3 billion customer claim against the brokerage, down from the $19.9 billion it had initially sought, papers show.
Lehman's European unit will receive a $9 billion customer claim, reduced from the $24 billion originally asserted.
The parent will also receive $14 billion in lower-priority unsecured claims against the brokerage, while the European arm will get a $4 billion unsecured claim.
Lehman and several affiliates filed the largest-ever U.S. bankruptcy on September 15, 2008, with $639 billion in assets.
The intercompany claims had been the final key disputes keeping the trustee who is liquidating Lehman's brokerage, James Giddens, from making full payouts to customers.
The settlements should allow for full payout, Giddens said in a statement on Tuesday. Leftover money would be paid to other classes of unsecured creditors, though it remains unclear how much they could receive.
Giddens called the four-year negotiations "arduous."
"We are delighted that these agreements have been reached," he said in the statement.
The deals are subject to approval by U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan; a hearing is set for April 16. The European unit's settlement needs approval by an English court.
Daniel Ehrmann, co-head of derivatives for the Lehman parent, said the deal "avoids costly and extensive litigation, and contributes significantly to recoveries for" the parent's creditors.
Lehman is in the midst of repaying about $65 billion to creditors of its parent and other subsidiaries under a liquidation plan approved in late 2011.
Tony Lomas, one of the administrators liquidating Lehman's European unit, called that unit's settlement a "defining transaction" that resolves "the most complex inter-affiliate" dispute in Lehman's insolvency.
The U.S. brokerage will keep $777 million in reserve as it continues to litigate legal claims from Barclays (BARC.L) over that company's purchase of the brokerage's assets in 2008, according to court papers.
The bankruptcy is In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 08-13555.
The brokerage liquidation is In re Lehman Brothers Inc, in the same court, No. 08-1420.

Seasonic Super Tornado 350w PSU Review
It used to be that when it came to the purchase of a power supply for your PC, all you had to do was go down to the local geek store and pick up whatever happened to be in stock. Power levels along any given voltage rail and total output weren't things to even be given a second thought. But then there came the enthusiast machine and the world changed.
Now instead of picking up what was cheapest, you had to take into consideration what kind of peripherals you were going to install, figure in the number of optical and physical drives while still leaving some headroom for future expansion or overclocking. My how the world was turned on its ear!
Lately, there has been a lot of discussion regarding how much power is really enough. A common recommendation (even in our own forums) is to get nothing less than 400 watts of total output, and even then buy only from a proven manufacturer.
So consider my surprise when the folks at Seasonic asked me to take a look at their Super Tornado PSU with a total sustained output rating of 350 watts! Could it stand up to the rigors of an enthusiast rig? Can it live up to the hype printed on its own packaging stating "The advanced choice for gamers & overclockers"? And at only 350 watts? Let's find out, those are big brave words to be spoken!

I lost trust and faith in that clown a long time ago. He shouldn't be running a company.
I don't like the direction the company is heading. They can't successfully market and sell this drug on their own. They need to sell the company and place it in the capable hands of someone that has the sales force to take this to doctors and patients. The company has zero credibility in the eyes of the medical world because of what SNY did.
If this is the case then I don't understand why there isn't a lawsuit already against SNY for not holding up their end of the partnership agreement. MNKD spent an entire year unable to market the drug effectively and the entire time we were in this slow launch phase. I knew it from the very beginning, that SNY's intentions were to make sure that Afreeza wouldn't make it. More evidence in that they only targeted endos and type 1 diabetics where dosing is more of an issue. Marketing needs to be geared more towards type IIs as the best in class prandial insulin that's out there, not because of it's convenience but because of it's effectiveness.
I wish they'd just sell MNKD at $6 / share at this point. I'd be happy with that. I'm tired of watching all the manipulation and I don't have any hope left for Afreeza being a blockbuster / paradigm shifting treatment with Mat leading the company. SNY accomplished exactly what they set out to do in the beginning which was protect their line of treatments.
Can MNKD at least sue SNY for breach of contract and gross negligence?? There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that would help them win the case.
BP is behind this, so I'm not sure if they'd completely jump out of their position. They have enough money and influence to take the stock down if they want and can naked short all day long since the SEC is blind and BP probably feeds them to stay that way. Too many companies out there that can't afford to let TS be a blockbuster. It's a pretty sad world that we live in where greed puts a lot of peoples lives and health in jeopardy.
Thanks for all the transparency that you promised Mr. Pfeffer. Nothing but SMOKE AND MIRRORS up to this point.
look at the chart... technically this thing is toast if we don't rally into the close.
Well my avg cost is pretty darn low at this point, but I'm worried that cash reserves are going to be the biggest issue in the next couple of months. Obviously, they can't sell and market on their own, plus Mann is gone and I'm sure the family estate just wants the company sold. So my only question left now is who is it going to be and what price are they going to offer?? I could care less about the run up from .68 to 2.30. It was nice, but there was no reason for it just like the collapse today. I warned of a bull trap a week ago, but who cares if the company is sold already.
Same sentiment as you have on this. I like Matt, but I don't think he's a strong CEO or leader. I feel he has mislead investors over the years more than anything else, but part of that was out of his control with the dreadful SNY partnership (not even sure you can call it a partnership). Maybe they will announce a lawsuit against SNY after they separate. They would win in court and have enough money to be completely independent moving forward.
announces a law suit for GROSS negligence. I'm going to be very disappointed if they aren't seeking recourse for the blatant sabotage of Afreeza. I think it's worth well over a billion dollars in damages up to this point.
Here comes the bear raid. It's pretty crazy how easily they can walk this thing up and down. SEC should be watching this stock, but when do they ever do their job?
Trust and hope are terrible things to go by when investing your hard earned money.
i'm afraid that we are getting setup for a bull trap here. big move from 1 to 1.50 and it's all driven on the possibility of good news, but when we don't see it, the sellers will pile in hard tomorrow.
Name the 10 things I got wrong in my post please
Investors are still left in the dark after the original conference call they put together, the partnership announcement was extremely vague, there isn't any communication from management as far as plans now that Al is gone and the partnership will be severed from SNY in less than a month. This is why the stock has failed over and over again . Management hasn't stood up for investors, and certainly haven't stood up to big pharma. They let SNY walk all over them and now we are back to the drawing board trying to find someone that will give MNKD a shot. I'm so sick and tired of Pfeffer's lies and misleading comments. Cash is running low and now Al is out of the picture. So where will a cash infusion come from if MNKD needs it?? I bet sneaky Matt decides to dillute again at some point.
With Al dying, I think the end is near for the company as well. I just don't see Mat orchestrating a successful turnaround based on his history. He can't lead, he can't negotiate, and is completely unfit to be a CEO of any company. I've been waiting patiently through adcom, fda, partnership, and marketing/ sales campaign. Lost a lot of time and money. Should have sold after SNY partnered, I knew all along that they would try to sabotage Afreeza and just paid a little bit in cost to insure that it didn't reach patients.
The carry forward loss a company could add on their books is attractive and the technology is extremely attractive. Someone is going to pick MNKD up at a good price now that Al has passed away. I'm guessing around 7-8
She was asked the other day in a live interview if she had ever lied to voters, and her response was "I don't think I've ever knowingly lied." Sounds like someone we can really trust.

Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said after Sunday's 9-6, 17-inning loss that he was concerned about the performance of starter Clay Buchholz but that he has no immediate plans for a role change for the right-hander.
"Clay's performance was not what he wanted it to be for sure and not what I wanted it to be. He left a lot of pitches in a real hittable zone and gave up a lot of hard-hit balls," Valentine said. "There were a lot of pitchers used today. He was one of them and I've got to figure out what to do, and how to get by with all these guys who really did a yeomen's job today. I have no plans to change him at this time."
Buchholz has allowed five or more earned runs in all six of his starts this year, the longest such streak by a Red Sox starter since Red Ruffing endured an eight-game stretch in 1925.
For his part, Buchholz said that he is healthy and dismissed the idea that a blister issue he's dealing with could have had any impact on his outing. That, in turn, has made this run a challenging exercise for the 27-year-old.
"I feel good. If I knew the reason I was giving up hits and runs, I'd probably fix it. I have to figure it out," Buchholz said. "It's a pretty frustrating deal right now."
Buchholz did not factor into the decision, but his 9.09 ERA is the worst in the majors among pitchers with enough innings to qualify for the ERA title, and his 2.02 WHIP is likewise the worst in the majors. He allowed three homers on Sunday to increase his yield to 10 (in 32 2/3 innings) this year, exceeding the number of homers he gave up in all of 2010, when he logged 172 2/3 innings.
Buchholz does have an option left, so he could be sent by the team to the minors. However, because he is more than three years removed from his big league debut, Buchholz would have to pass through optional waivers to be sent to the minors. That said, optional waivers are treated by all major league clubs as a mere procedural formality, and there are few if any examples of players being taken off of that particular form of waivers.

Leave Pagan alone. We are all used to his attitude about religion and religious
But all I can say about the LCMS position is "Wow."
I would never have a problem with my church joining with other Christians or non-Christians in causes of common interest and concern that transcend religious differences. I am grateful that it does so. An interfaith vigil wouldn't ask anyone to worship any deity or take part in any other religion's ordinances or sacraments, only to reach out to their brothers and sisters of various beliefs to comfort each other.
In a time of shared tragedy (or shared joy), it's very sad that any denomination's first thought might be, "We shouldn't join in with other people because someone might think we are watering down our beliefs."

Book review: 'Boundless' is a fast-paced conclusion to the 'Unearthly' series
"BOUNDLESS," by Cynthia Hand, HarperTeen, $17.99, 438 pages (f) (ages 14 and up)
Two years ago, readers were introduced to the world of Clara Gardner in "Unearthly," the first of Cynthia Hand trilogy. This month, Clara's story comes to a conclusion in "Boundless," the last of the Unearthly series.
As an angel-blood, Clara has spent the last few years learning to deal with the visions she receives and become a force for good in the fight against the Black Wings. "Boundless" is the height of this coming of age where she has to deal with the loss of a friend to the powers of hell and choosing between the man she loves and the man who has been her partner since the beginning.
"Boundless" is well-paced, answering many of the questions Clara has had about her own family and where the line is between destiny and choice. While Clara deals with self-doubt and weakness, she also finds strength through those who love her and the will to save her friends, her family and, in the end, herself.
Readers will want to read this series in order, beginning with "Unearthly" and "Hallowed," as there are many character connections and pieces of the backstory that can be guessed at by starting here, but are unclear without reading the previous novels.
While the specific language and context of this novel are family-friendly, the series is aimed at midteen to adult readers. The characters deal with the ramifications of adult relationships and the concerns of a girl with supernatural connections who is also moving through the later years of high school and into college.
"Boundless" is an easy read and a satisfying conclusion to the series. The emphasis on loyalty, family and self-worth is a positive message leading to a well-deserved happy ending.
If you go ...

A review of FOX's new series "Houdini & Doyle," premiering May 2, 9/8c.
Upon hearing the premise for the new horror film "We Are What We Are," many people will no doubt assume that it will be some kind of grisly dark comedy combining jet-black humor with gruesome imagery designed to keep viewers from making any visits to the concession stand in the immediate future. Instead, it treats the concept in a quiet and deliberate manner throughout and while such an approach may prove disappointing to anyone hoping for a broadly drawn bloodbath, the serious and respectful tone helps to make for a genuinely creepy moviegoing experience that will attract both serious fans of the genre and those viewers simply looking for a well-told story. (A story, it should be noted, that is probably best experienced knowing as little about the details, such as the ones I am about to reveal, as possible.)
Set in a remote small town outside of the Catskill Mountains, the film centers on the Parkers, a fairly reclusive but otherwise normal-seeming family that, as the story opens, is marked by tragedy when the matriarch dies in a tragic accident brought on by a massive rainstorm. This is horrible enough but to make things worse, it is just about time for them to go through a religious ritual that has been performed in the family for a couple of centuries and which can only be done by the woman of the house. Oh yeah, the ritual in question involves cannibalism.
Reeling from his wife's death, domineering father Frank (Bill Sage) insists on pressing ahead and goes out the night of his wife's death to bring back a not-so-willing volunteer to manacle in the basement in preparation for the ceremony. On the other hand, teenage daughters Iris (Ambyr Childers) and Rose (Julia Garner) are not quite as enthused with the responsibilities that have suddenly been forced upon them. What the Parkers don't realize is that their ghastly secrets are in danger of being revealed by the police, a curious neighbor (Kelly McGillis) and a local doctor (Michael Parks) whose daughter was a Parker house entree. Even Mother Nature gets into the act, as the torrential rains begin to uncover skeletal evidence of unspeakable crimes.
If this plot sounds slightly familiar to you, it may be because "We Are What We Are" is a remake of a 2010 Mexican film that received a bit of acclaim among horror film fans. I never got a chance to see that film but from what I understand, co-writers Jim Mickle and Nick Damici (the former also directed) have taken the basic premise and then played around with it in a number of ways. The key change, so I hear, is that the genders of the key characters have been switched around—in the original, it was the father who died, the mother who encouraged her brood to carry on and a son who found himself forced to carry on the unspeakable tradition. I also hear that in that version, the keeping of the tradition was driven by socio-economic factors instead of misplaced religious fervor.
Although I am curious to see that version now, I must say that this remake is a more than satisfying moviegoing experience in its own right. Most filmmakers might have taken this basic premise in order to play it as grisly black comedy along the lines of "Motel Hell" ("It takes all sorts of critters to make Farmer Vincent's fritters") and it could well have worked that way. However, by taking the decidedly lurid material seriously, Mickle and Damici have attempted something far more challenging and the risk pays off. From a tonal standpoint, the whole thing is a high-wire act in the sense that if there is one dramatic misstep or bad laugh, the whole thing could collapse in an instant.
Aside from a couple of moments where things could have been tightened slightly, the film never stumbles and the result is one of the more remarkable horror films of late—one that does not rely on sudden shocks or outrageous gore to get under the skin of its viewers. This is not to say that the film can't pull off such moments—there is one scene in which a moment of rare tenderness is brutally interrupted in a genuinely shocking manner and the similarly out-of-nowhere Grand Guignol finale will raise eyebrows and gorges in equal measure. However, it creates an atmosphere of dampness and dread that is genuinely convincing and is far more unnerving in the end that any amount of fake blood.
Intelligently conceived, beautifully executed and filled with surprisingly convincing performances all around (Sage creates an aura of quiet menace that is impossible to shake and Childers and Garner are both heartbreaking as the daughters), "We Are What We Are" is that rare horror film that could play at both arthouse and grindhouse theaters without seemingly out of place at either one. Genre fans will eat it up—no pun intended—but it might prove to be a harder sell for viewers who aren't necessarily jazzed with the idea of watching murder and cannibalism that isn't set to the music of Stephen Sondheim. To those people, I assure you that in terms of smart and serious filmmaking, I would put this film up against any "serious" movie that has come out so far this year and I implore you to give it a chance. Just don't make any plans for dinner afterwards.

When The Austin Contemporary changed its name in July, it also said that it planned to refocus its mission and begin a seriously exciting series of art commissions. The Dallas-based Edward and Betty Marcus Foundation is helping The Contemporary to come through on that boast with a gift of $9 million.
In early 2013, the Foundation trustees initiated a selective competition for its $9 million corpus to be granted to "the Texas institution that proposes the most innovative, visionary visual arts initiative for the future." According to the Foundation, Austin Contemporary Director Louis Grachos and his crew did just that.
Approximately $5 million of the grant will fund the commissioning and acquisition of sculpture and site-specific permanent installations by leading contemporary artists, to be shown outdoors at the 12-acre lakeside estate of Laguna Gloria, which will be named the Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park. Another $2 million will be dedicated to an endowment for the permanent maintenance and conservation of the works in the Sculpture Park, and $2 million will fund a series of commissions, exhibitions and public engagements for The Contemporary's ongoing program at the Sculpture Park.
In September, The Contemporary will inaugurate its program of commissions and exhibitions by presenting new works by Liam Gillick and Marianne Vitale. Installed in both the downtown Jones Center and the Laguna Gloria grounds, the works will be on view from September 21 (a month before the Nasher XChange exhibition opens, just in case anyone wants to start a Dallas/Austin sculpture rivalry) through January 5. Other artists who will be commissioned by The Contemporary in 2014-15 include Charles Long, Orly Genger, Tom Friedman, Tom Sachs, Ayse Erkmen and Jim Hodges.

Intel 335 Series 240GB SSD Review
AIDA64 Random Access Time
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.60
Developer Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
Product Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
AIDA64 offers several different benchmarks for testing and optimizing your system or network. The Random Access test is one of very few if not only that will measure hard drives random access times in hundredths of milliseconds as oppose to tens of milliseconds.
Drives with only one or two tests displayed in the write test mean that they have failed the test and their Maximum and possibly their Average Scores were very high after the cache fills. This usually happens only with controllers manufactured by JMicron and Toshiba.
Here we see the increased latency from the new 20nm flash. Intel uses different firmware on the 335 than it does with the 520, but we don't have any specific details on what may of changed to increase the latency. AIDA64 has produced repeatable results in the past when testing the same drive over and over again so were pinning the .02ms increase on the flash.
The write latency also increased .02ms on average with 64KB blocks.

It has all the trimmings of a Thanksgiving feast, but none of the family drama. Welcome to the age of Friendsgiving. Millennials in the U.S. are embracing a new version of the fall tradition, gathering with friends for their own turkey feasts and creating their own holiday in the process. 30% of Millennials 13-24-years-old on Thumb told us that they celebrate Friendsgiving. The phrase has even made it to Urban Dictionary. The new holiday has taken over college campuses and urban friend groups alike, and is starting to become an important ritual for many Millennials.
The rules around Friendsgiving are not hard and fast. For some, the holiday replaces Thanksgiving, especially if they are stuck at home, in dorms, or abroad, and aren't able to make it to their family festivities. Friendsgiving celebrations have been thriving on college campuses, where students might not have the time or money to travel. But for others, Friendsgiving is being added to their schedules in November in the weeks before or the days after their regular Thanksgivings. So if they are already getting their regularly scheduled serving of turkey and pie, why is Friendsgiving becoming a thing?
It might sound like a cliché explanation, but Millennials' group mentality probably has a lot to do with the new holiday. For them, friends aren't just friends, but another form of family. As one student newspaper put it, "Not only does Friendsgiving give students the opportunity to be thankful for their second family at school, but it also removes the inevitable awkward moments that come with any family holiday…Have a Friendsgiving. Celebrate both of your families." Friendsgiving solidifies a friend group or a clique and makes the people in that group feel special, and more like family. On top of that, the holiday is…

Quote of the Day: "Whenever I'm bored, I can always find something to do on my phone."
—Male, 17, GA
Have teens have killed another retailer? Aeropostale has filed for bankruptcy, and plans to immediately close 154 of its over 800 stores. Young consumers' preference for fast fashion and real-time access to trends has left "mall retailers" like Delia's, Wet Seal, and Aeropostale in the dust. Last year the struggling clothing brand announced they were attempting to revive sales by "exploring strategic alternatives," and focusing on a "flirty tomboy girl" consumer. However, it missed the mark, and "[t]he majority of the blame for poor performance lies squarely with [Aeropostale's] failure to realign itself to the changing fashion demands of younger shoppers." (Washington Post)
These days, Osh-Kosh-B'Gosh just won't do for well-to-do kids growing up in a market that might just make them the best-dressed generation. The luxury childrenswear market continues to boom, with a forecasted reach of $291.5 billion by the end of 2018. Since we first wrote about the trend, more designer brands have launched lines exclusively for "pint-sized clientele," and online stores focusing on upscale fashion for babies and kids have grown. Although considered a small revenue driver for companies, brands hope that childrenswear will inspire brand loyalty from a young age, and remind adults of their own "coming-of-age moments." (Digiday)
Social network meets "college newspaper on steroids" Odyssey is racking up 30 million uniques a month, with a simple but challenging business model. The site lets any young writer contribute content, as long as they have a unique perspective and publish an article a week. The model results in about 10,000 articles each week from writers aged 18-28, who then share their posts through their own personal social networks. Although they are unpaid, the writers gain exposure from posting to the platform—two to 4.5 times more than if they self-published. (Business Insider)
Snapchat's CEO Evan Spiegel's ability to "speak Millennial" has been key to the app's success. The platform's appeal lies in the "less demanding" content it encourages. As the Columbia student who interviewed Spiegel put it, "If you want to take a photo of the beautiful day outside…you can put it on Instagram, but what about that huge space of photos that aren't 10 out of 10 perfection." Recently Spiegel declared that Snapchat is a "camera company." Though messaging and content are part of the app, the camera is the focus because "[t]he thing that feeds a social network is content." (International Business Times)
We recently broke down all the ways Millennials are updating and redefining workplace standards—and it looks like Millennials in the U.K. may also prioritize meaning over a big paycheck. A U.K. survey of 13-25-year-olds revealed that "44% equate happiness with success and 32% said that for them prosperity is more about achieving their personal goals." The things that might have motivated previous generations were lower priorities: only 11% of U.K. Millennials said they are motivated by the prospect of owning a house, and 29% said they are motivated by being paid more for their work.

Equestrian's funding boost crucial for Rio gold
Relevant offers
As he relaxes in Hawke's Bay with a glass of pinot over the Christmas period, Equestrian Sports New Zealand chief executive Jim Ellis will cut a satisfied figure.
His sport is in good shape - both on the international and domestic scene - and when he returns to work in the new year, he'll have an additional $4 million at his disposal for the four years leading into the Rio Olympics.
Eventing is the biggest winner from the High Performance Sport New Zealand funding handouts, jumping from $3.2 million over the four years leading up to the London Olympics, to $7.2 million for the current four-year cycle - a whopping increase of 125 per cent.
Ellis insists every dollar is necessary to achieve the ultimate goal, team gold in Rio.
The biggest expenditure next year will be on New Zealand's participation on the new FEI Nations Cup, a team competition. New Zealand is to send a team to all five events in 2013 as they prepare for the 2014 world championships.
"Rather than just competing as a team at the Aachen festival (in Germany), we will compete five times, and in order to do that we have to get the entire support team together each time, so that is a significant increase in costs," Ellis said.
ESNZ will also increase its spending on coaching, particularly enhancing its dressage training, traditionally the weakest of the three disciplines for New Zealand.
There will be "natural increases" in costs to their programme in the UK, where all leading New Zealand riders - and national coach Eric Duvander - are based.
Crucially, they have re-signed the highly rated Duvander and ESNZ's New Zealand based high performance director Sarah Harris through until the 2016 Olympics, while a part-time England-based administrator will be employed in a new position to help ease logistical issues that arise from the time difference between New Zealand and England.
In addition, ESNZ have been given $275,000 in performance enhancement grants (PEGs) to distribute in 2013 but, unlike many other sports, the money does not simply go to athletes to help with living expenses.
"They must prove the expense is being used to directly enhance their performance before the money is released," Ellis said.
"We will put a certain amount towards individual performance plan (IPP) investment, and the PEGs money would get put into that pot, though it will primarily be targeted toward the top-end riders."
Duvander and Harris will meet with the top riders next month and discuss IPPs for 2013, and what level of investment will be made. That is then reviewed quarterly.
"It could be that rider X gets a lot more than rider Y, depending on their respective needs.
"We believe we can win a gold medal in the team event at Rio if all five of the starting combinations are capable of winning an individual medal, and in order to get to that point we have got to be in a better place than we were in London.
"It's about how we target funding to individual riders which is specific to them and what they need, and what horses they need, to ensure they are capable of finishing in the medals.
"What that means for a Clarke (Johnstone) or Jock (Paget) or Jonelle (Richards) will be different to what it means for Andrew (Nicholson) and slightly different again for Mark (Todd)."
Ellis put their success at the funding table down to several indicators of potential future success; the Olympic bronze medal, team and individual bronze (Nicholson) at the 2010 world championships, and the fact three riders are currently ranked in the world's top six, with Nicholson No 1, Paget No 4 and Todd No 6.
But he expressed disappointment that showjumping and dressage, the most popular equestrian disciplines on a world scale, and para-equestrian were all denied funding.

Hope you guys can help me
I'm going on a overland Africa trip and my last stop will be in South Africa.
Since I'm visiting more than one country, my time in each country is limited.
I have 11 days in South Africa and wanted to ask you what itinerary you'd suggest?
I haven't booked my flight back home yet. I am in Namibia before South Africa and arriving in Cape Town.
What I'm not sure about: Should I fly back directly from Cape Town or should I fly back from Johannesburg?
Is 11 days enough to see most of the sights in cape town, around it and in Johannesburg and around it?
Thanks guys!

11 Days in South Africa: Itinerary Suggestion?
Hope you guys can help me

11 days is more than enough. Will you have done a safari? If not, than definitely head to Krueger.
There is plenty to do in Cape Town - Robben Island, Cape Point, Boulder's Beach, Hout Bay, Table Mountain, the Botanical Garden, to Bo Kaap, the Gold Museum. The beaches on the Atlantic side - like Camps Bay - are said to be the prettiest, while the Indian Ocean side is warmer for swimming. Try Muizenberg, which is a nice beach lined with multi-colored cabanas.
Within a few hours of Cape Town, you can go to the wine country around Stellenbosch, and to Hermanus on the coast, where you may be able to see whales. Not sure how easy it is to do either without a car or driver, but I'm sure you can get to both by buys.

Fodors is an amazing site and the forum contributors are great. We live in Cape Town and one year some American friends came to visit and we spent a lot of time exploring our home town with them and decided to write a review - here's the link - I think I should post it on Fodors
glad you are coming to Cape Town

You can easily spend 11 days and return from Capetown. Check out the Wilderness coast and on to Knysna, and then inland to Prince Albert and the Swartberg Pass. Will you be driving yourself?

August? December? Makes a big difference.

Middle East
More than 20 people have been killed in the Syrian city of Homs, a doctor says, as fighting raged around a road junction on a supply line to government forces in the interior of the country.
The opposition accuses shabbiha militia loyal to President Bashar al-Assad of killing some 200 Sunni Muslim civilians in Homs in massacres over the last two weeks, but a Syrian ban on most independent media makes such reports difficult to verify.
In a video statement from a makeshift hospital in the city, Mohammad Mohammad, a doctor who has been treating the wounded underground for months, displayed the bodies of five people whose remains had been charred to unrecognisable bits.
"They are the Uzam family. The father, mother and three children - the shabbiha burnt them completely, as part of the annihilation the regime is bringing on the area of Jobar-Kfar Aaya," Mohammad said, referring to districts of Homs.
"We are here surrounded. We have more than 20 dead today. They have been documented by name." He said the victims had died in fighting, bombardment and summary executions.
At least 60,000 people have been killed in Syria's civil war. Mostly Sunni Homs, a commercial and agricultural hub 140 km north of Damascus, has been at the heart of the 22-month uprising against Assad.
Syrian authorities have not commented on the latest fighting in the city. In the past, official media have described army operations as designed to 'cleanse' Homs from what they described as terrorists.
Speaking from Istanbul after visiting Homs, Mohammad Mroueh, a member of the Higher Leadership Council of the Syrian Revolution, said: "The rebels are holding their ground but the shabbiha are getting to the civilians.
"It's hard to describe what's happening in terms other than ethnic cleansing of Sunni districts in the way of Alawite supply lines," said Mroueh, who was in Homs earlier this week.
The Alawites, who follow an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam and comprise about 10 per cent of the population, have dominated Syria's power structure and its security apparatus since the 1960s. Assad and most of the ruling elite are Alawites.
A highway that passes near Homs has been used to supply Alawite forces deployed on hilltops in Damascus from bases in the coastal cities of Tartous and Latakia, which have a sizeable Alawite population, according to opposition sources.
Sunnis fear that the city could become part of an Alawite enclave stretching to the coast, where major military bases are located, if Assad was forced to leave Damascus.
"The massacres are increasing and Bashar al-Assad has began to draw borders of this mini-state and associate the Alawites more with blood so that they have no other option but to join him," wrote opposition campaigner Fawaz Tello in an article published on All4Syria news website.
Syria's conflict has grown more sectarian, deepening the Sunni-Shi'ite divide in the Middle East which burst into the open when Shi'ites gained political ascendancy in Iraq following the 2003 U.S. led invasion that deposed Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein.
A statement by an insurgent group, the Syrian Revolution against Bashar al-Assad, said neighbourhoods of southern and western Homs were being hit with battlefield artillery and barrages from rocket launchers.
Activists in Homs said at least 120 civilians and 40 opposition fighters had been killed in the past week and that rebels from the nearby town of Qusair on the border with Lebanon were trying to relieve pressure on the western neighbourhoods.
The armed opposition has been weakened in the city after a drop in ammunition supplies in recent weeks and after Assad's forces tightened a siege on western areas, according to opposition sources.
A counter-offensive by rebels two days ago in the western sector pushed back Assad's forces slightly, but they continued to pound the area with artillery and from the air, the sources said.

NDP's Andrea Horwath bounces Paul Miller to back bench for loud heckling
The Canadian Press
Published Monday, October 28, 2013 2:24PM EDT
Last Updated Monday, October 28, 2013 10:05PM EDT
TORONTO -- Hamilton New Democrat Paul Miller has been sent to the back bench at the Ontario legislature after getting into a dispute with NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.
Reporters noticed Miller was sitting in the back row of the NDP caucus instead of his usual seat closer to Horwath, who was not in the legislature Monday.
Miller is one of the NDP's most effective -- and loudest -- hecklers, and apparently he didn't like Horwath's request last Thursday to tone it down.
Miller isn't commenting on his conversation with Horwath, which was not picked up by Hansard, the official record of legislative debates.
NDP house leader Gilles Bisson insists Miller is not being punished, and says all seats in the legislature are good seats.
Bisson says the party wants to get away from loud heckling because it doesn't look respectful to the public.

I have 2 red tipped photinas in my front yard against the house (south facing). They were great for the first 3 years, but now, for the last 2 winters the leaves have dried out and dropped in the spring. I thought it was a lack of water over the winter, so I tried to help out, but that didnt help. Should I prune them back in the fall or is there anything I can do to help them so this doesn't happen next winter?
Rate This FAQ
Many things can cause the symptoms you describe. I'm not sure where in Utah you live, but red-tipped photinias, with a cold hardiness rating of zone 6, are only marginally cold-hardy along the Wasatch Front. (Salt Lake is zone 5 -- annual minimum temperatures lower than zone 6). Our last two winters were colder than normal, so the low temperatures may have damaged the broadleaf evergreen leaves of your plants.
Red-tip photinias are also susceptible to a number of diseases, including leaf spot and fireblight. You should take samples of leaves with and without symptoms to your local county Extension office where they may be able to help diagnose your problem, or they may instruct you how to send your samples to the Utah Plant Pest Diagnostic Lab on the campus of Utah State University.

- Two questions; I have an dwarf Honey Crisp apple tree that is about 5 years old. Last year it had a dozen apples. I didn't disturb the fruit spurs when I picked the fruit. This year there were no blossoms on the tree. I didn't prune it at all. What can I do to help it produce every year? Second question; I have peach borers in the main branches of my nectarine tree.

- Last fall I planted a 4-foot tall Arizona cypress (Blue Ice) in my yard. I bought it from a local nursery who assured me it was cold-hardy enough for this area, but by this spring most of the needles on the upper 2/3 of the tree had turned brown. The lower needles that were beneath the snowpack for most of the winter are still green. Is there anything I can do to help this tree recovery (or should I find a different tree that's more cold-hardy)?
