Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad U400-09932DU
Eye candy. The Lenovo IdeaPad U400 features one of the better-looking exteriors we've seen on a mid-range notebook, but can its internal components match up?
Source: CNet
While ultrabooks are seemingly all anyone at Microsoft or Intel can talk about, what about the humble laptop? Adopting the looks of an ultrabook and an Apple MacBook, the IdeaPad U400 wins on design and overall value, but it's not that far above other equally good laptops that are out there right now.

As 2011—the year that saw the genesis of the slim-yet-powerful ultrabook—ended, we found ourselves once again awed by today's mobile-computing technology. This sharp-looking, metal-finish laptop has many valuable features and runs well, but a finicky touch pad and a lack of impact from its graphics hardware suggest it isn't quite as refined as it looks.

At $884 the Lenovo IdeaPad U400 is a good value for a well-built mainstream notebook that offers excellent overall performance. If the middling graphics performance were the only drawback, it would be easy to recommend this notebook. The issues with the keyboard and touchpad are a big distraction, especially for such important components.

If you're not a thin-is-in type, then the U400 will provide you with much the same experience as its U-series brethren in terms of aesthetics, typing, and pointing. It's fast enough for most purposes, and you get a larger 14-inch screen. It's a tad pricey for an all-purpose, but you always pay extra for style, and this unit has it in spades.

The Lenovo IdeaPad U400 brings luxury to the mainstream laptop, combining a design that looks good and feels even better with solid performance and features like USB 3.0 and WiDi 2.0. In terms of performance, it's an excellent alternative to our Editors' Choice Dell Inspiron 14z (Core i5), but it can't compete on price. You'll be hard pressed, however, to find a more touchable competitor.

Video-looping battery tests gave 4 hrs 18 minutes of service, which is decent enough. The Lenovo U400 starts at $798 with a 2.2GHz i3 CPU, 4GB RAM and 500GB HDD. The top model features a 2.7GHz i7-2620M but the one option worth checking out is the 64GB SSD version.

Lenovo is aiming the U400 at potential MacBook customers; it has a similar-looking metal design, gets six hours of battery and comes in nearly $250 cheaper with better specifications. On top of that it is one of the thinner and lighter 14-inch notebooks available today. Notable downsides of this notebook include the lifeless, low-resolution display, lack of a backlit keyboard and media card reader and inability for users to upgrade components. The lack of a media card reader is unforgivable. The U400 certainly offers some good looks and performance for the money but aside from the design it offers little over budget notebooks priced at several hundred less.

In total, Lenovo's U400 is an interesting option to be sure. However, it's not drastically cheaper than the competition, the screen isn't drastically better than any rival machines, and the performance-to-price ratio isn't mind-blowing. That said, if you have a "thing" for the design, or you stumble upon a great coupon, mid-range users won't be let down by what this system offers.

Lenovo's U400 is a fantastic combination of performance and design. Though the Radeon HD 6470M is a bit of a letdown, the laptop is otherwise a strong performer. There's more than enough power here for most consumers, or even most enthusiasts. You can buy a lot more bang for $899, however, so it's clear that hardware value is not the goal.

We know what a lot of you are thinking: the U300s looks nice, but you really had your heart set on discrete graphics (you can take or leave the optical drive, we reckon). So you figured the U400 would include everything you loved about the U300s, along with a few beefier specs thrown in to make geek hearts sing. Wrong.

For better and worse--mostly worse--the Lenovo IdeaPad U400 is simply a larger version of its U300s Ultrabook. While we like its styling and larger hard drive, we still had trouble with its touchpad, and can't get over the fact that there's no SD card slot. For the same $899, we'd much rather have the ASUS U46SV, which offers both greater endurance and better graphics performance, or the Toshiba Portege Z835, which weighs almost half as much, has a backlit keyboard, and gets nearly 7 hours of battery life. The IdeaPad U400 is nice to look at, but makes too many compromises elsewhere.

For those of you with a specific use-case in mind, be sure to comment below and I'll let you know if I think this computer is the one for you or not. For me, it's simply not the perfect combination of thin, light, and powerful. While it does have the awesome power of the Intel Core i5 chipset, it's not going to beat an Alienware notebook at home for gaming for a rather comparable price. For heading out of the house to publish some stories or work with video, I can't imagine replacing me MacBook Pro with this – even though the 15-inch Pro I'm working with weighs more and has more bulk in it in the end.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson was one of 13 sheriffs and police chiefs invited to meet with President Barack Obama today to discuss ways to curb gun violence.
The president sat down this morning with 13 sheriffs and police chiefs, including the police chiefs from Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., the sites of the nation's two recent gun massacres.
Obama said before the meeting that he was looking forward to a "robust conversation" on gun violence, gun laws and law enforcement resources, according to a White House transcript.
"If law enforcement officials who are dealing with this stuff every single day can come to some basic consensus in terms of steps that we need to take, Congress is going to be paying attention to them and we'll be able to make progress," Obama told the group before their meeting in the Roosevelt Room, according to the transcript.
"No group is more important for us to listen to than our law enforcement officials," Obama said. "They are where the rubber hits the road."
Amerson is currently president of the National Sheriffs' Association. The meeting began this morning, and Amerson could not immediately be reached for comment.
"As we've indicated before the only way that we are going to be able to do everything that can be done is with the cooperation of Congress and that means passing serious laws that restrict access to and availability of assault weapons and magazine clips that aren't necessary for hunters and sportsmen – those responsible gun owners who are out there," Obama said.
"It means that we are serious about universal background checks – it means we take seriously issues of mental health and school safety."
The president said he wanted the group's input on ways to not only prevent another Sandy Hook school shooting but also the daily gun deaths that do not make national headlines.
"That's why part of the conversation that we're going to be having today relates not only to the issue of new laws or better enforcement of our gun laws, it also means what are we doing to make sure that we've got the strongest possible law enforcement teams on the ground?" the president said.

GTA: San Andreas Review
San Andreas is worthy of nearly all the hype it received, and is definitely worth your attention. Everyone should enjoy San Andreas. Everyone over the age of 18 anyway.
One of the most celebrated series of recent times has to be Rockstar North's Grand Theft Auto games. From the original top-down versions through to the huge-selling 3D incarnations of III and Vice City, not many games can match the popularity (or sales figures) of the GTA games. The two years that players have had to endure waiting for their next dose of street crime-related shenanigans has seen a couple of pretenders to the throne - notably True Crime: Streets of L.A. and the horrible, horrible (horrible) DRIV3R - but neither could possibly hold a torch to what Rockstar achieved with their games. Now the wait is over and the Daddies have returned to show the pretenders how it's done. And then some.
'If you haven't already, go and buy San Andreas. It is a stunning, stunning game.'
If you haven't already, go and buy San Andreas. It is a stunning, stunning game. With that out of the way we can get into the nitty-gritty - why is it stunning exactly? Well that is impossible to answer in one review alone, as it would need more space than most novels take up to explain the intricacies and nuances contained within. The player takes control of one Carl 'CJ' Johnson, who is returning to San Andreas, after spending five years in GTA III's Liberty City, in order to attend his mother's funeral. No sooner has our protagonist landed at Los Santos International Airport when he is picked up by a couple of crooked coppers, who welcome CJ home by leaving him in enemy gang territory. To go on would spoil the story, but it picks up from there and doesn't stop for quite a while.
The core GTA experience is more or less the same as it has ever been - visit marked points on the map to trigger more than a hundred different missions, each opening with surprisingly well choreographed cut-scenes. The physical 'acting' of the characters is of a very high standard, with movements fluid and natural, but the experience is really lifted by the vocal talent on offer - Samuel L Jackson, Ice-T, Axl Rose, Chris Penn, Shaun Ryder, Peter Fonda, James Woods and a great deal more adding their voices to the interesting and funny characters CJ meets on his travels. As with previous incarnations, no-one is scared to use every word in the English language available to them, with San Andreas delivering more curse words than the last two offerings - and yes, as the game is set in the early nineties West Coast gangsta scene, you will hear constant use of the dreaded 'N' word. One more reason for the Daily Mail to go ballistic.
Another constant of the GTA series is the radio service, and the soundtrack offered up by Andreas is the expected early nineties fare - NWA, Public Enemy, Pearl Jam, Guns 'N' Roses, Rage Against the Machine are all included (though there is a notable exception of Nirvana). For some reason the songs offered up don't have the instant appeal that the eighties hits of Vice City did, and the radio can get a little tiresome as a result, especially if West Coast rap/hip-hop is not to ones taste. The in-between links, adverts and news reports are all of the expected high quality humour-wise and don't fail to raise a smile, even on repeated listens, with a definite air of Britishness in their comedy. The high-quality sound is once again partnered with the same GTA looks as the last two games, and whilst they aren't amazing, they do a job and clearly push the PS2 to its limit. If one thing needs to be improved upon for the next incarnation, it's the graphical performance - but seeing as the next game will more than likely be for the next generation consoles, that's pretty much a given.

Everton manager David Moyes claims that signing David Beckham from L.A.Galaxy would be of interest to him, if the chance came up.
Beckham has had loan spells with AC Milan during the American league off-season over the past two years and Moyes has already had success in bringing his team-mate Landon Donovan over for a spell at the club.
The renaissance of Phil Neville continues, a week ago Everton's defender come Holding Midfielder come general Mr Nice Guy, became an overnight internet phenomenon. Following Gareth Bale's impressive embarrassment of "the World's best Right Back" Maicon, bewildered Evertonian's everywhere paid homage to Captain Nev's performance against the Welsh wonder just a week before. Twitter was awash with outlandish statements of Phil's super human abilities, granted most of these were re-workings of the Chuck Norris quips from a couple of years ago but still very funny. His cyber infamy peaked at 3rd on the trending list, taking him above Barack Obama but losing out on silver and gold to a deceased American surfer (ocean not web) and African-American's, which seems quite a broad subject?
Quite what Phil made of this is unsure, although we may get a little insight in forthcoming programme notes, but former (and hopefully future) team mate Landon Donovan Tweeted "Phil Neville is Trending?!? What is this world coming to?!?!?!?", indeed.

It has long been a matter of common belief that twins enjoy a close and mysterious bond...a bond bordering on the supernatural.—Oatman1
This paper describes the extraordinary circumstances attending the unexpected simultaneous deaths of 32-year-old schizophrenic twins. In our reference to the literature we could find no record of a similar occurrence.
Psychiatric History
Family History.—The patients were twin girls born in North Carolina in August, 1930. There was no positive family history of mental illness. Personal History.—Birth and Early Development: Patients were twins (probably identical) in the birth of triplets. The third triplet was a boy who died shortly after birth. Delivery was normal. Nothing grossly abnormal was noted in their early development.Education and Occupations: Both twins began school at age 6 years and completed high school at age 19 years. In formal intelligence testing they scored almost identical

Thoughts On Storing Duplicate / Calculated Data In The Database

U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati conceded Monday "the timing is never good for a change" in the nonstop world of international soccer.
The U.S. national team has a game on Aug. 10 in Philadelphia against arch-rival Mexico, then two more in early September – one in Los Angeles and one in Brussels. Qualifying for the 2014 World Cup begins in 10 months.
But that doesn't mean the timing wasn't right. Gulati said that over the past two weeks or so, he and U.S. Soccer CEO Dan Flynn came to the conclusion that national team coach Bob Bradley's time was up, perhaps in part because Jurgen Klinsmann was ready to take the job after a five-year courtship.
"We take time after every major competition to reflect on the competition and what's led up to that competition," Gulati said, referencing June's runner-up finish at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. "It's not a single game or a single result. It's where the program is, how comfortable we feel in the direction it's going, based partly on results, for sure."
Klinsmann signed a contract through the next World Cup, giving him just three years to make significant progress. Most of the questions he faced during Monday's unveiling and a subsequent conference call with reporters focused on his philosophy and his opinion about the long-term improvement of American soccer's player development system.
But there's a lot of work to do in the interim as well.
"It's going to be a challenge, absolutely, and it's going to be quite demanding the next couple of weeks to get our heads around," Klinsmann said.
Here's what's on the new manager's initial to-do list:
Games to play
Klinsmann has to pick rosters for the three exhibitions scheduled in the next five weeks. He said he hopes to announce on Wednesday a team of 20 players to take on Mexico in Philadelphia. The September games in Los Angeles and Brussels should give Klinsmann the opportunity to look at two sets of players, perhaps a largely MLS-based squad for the Sept. 2 game against Costa Rica and a team of European-based players for the Sept. 6 match in Belgium.
Klinsmann said he spoke to "about five to six players" over the weekend and intends to call the rest shortly. Some are still in preseason with their European clubs.
"It's not going to be easy to form a highly competitive team for next week, but we'll get it off the ground," he said.
His selections will be heavily analyzed and scrutinized, especially if there are hints that there are some older veterans Klinsmann might be ready to phase out.
Selecting a staff
Klinsmann has a reputation as more of an overseer and an idea man than as a hands-on, day-to-day coach. In 2004, Klinsmann hired Joachim Löw as his top assistant shortly after being named German national team coach. Now the head man himself, Löw took a significant amount of the credit for implementing the mobile, attacking system that carried Germany to the bronze medal at both the 2006 and 2010 World Cups.
Many have suggested that the composition of Klinsmann's assistants will be crucial. But he's going to take his time before identifying them.
"Over the next couple of months (I will) try to build a coaching staff that will be established for the World Cup qualifying campaign and going toward 2014," Klinsmann said.
"I won't bring in a staff right away. I will work with some people that I know just to get my feet wet over the next couple of weeks, but I'd also like to meet with people in the U.S. soccer environment that I don't know and see if there's some common philosophy or common ground to work together in the future. I need that time to gather the right people with me."
Player evaluation
"My first priority is to meet the players and to understand the issues, where they're at, and to develop a plan for each of them, hopefully, to improve further," Klinsmann said.
Every coach has his go-to guys, and Klinsmann may very well be ready to move on from some of the veterans who played such a significant role under Bradley. His German team in 2006 was notable for its reliance on younger, more dynamic players.
Klinsmann said he planned on having numerous conversations and that U.S. Soccer youth technical director Claudio Reyna and interim Under-20 national team coach Tab Ramos – former national team stars with Latin backgrounds who played the sort of technically proficient soccer many would like to see taught in the U.S. – will be "important resources."
"I'm definitely going to talk to a lot of coaches over the next weeks and months, to see where they see (players) coming through. This goes in parallel with the work with the (current) team itself," Klinsmann said.

Taylor to the fore once more
Follow England women's progress on ecb.co.uk - click here for exclusive interviews and videos, latest news, match reports and more
Sarah Taylor produced another match-winning performance as England eased to a comfortable 2-0 NatWest International T20 series win with an eight-wicket triumph over India at Chelmsford.
Chasing a target of 114 after the tourists astonishingly suffered a hat-trick of run outs off the final three balls of their innings - a total of five Indians fell in that fashion - Taylor built upon her 69 in Tuesday's first game with an unbeaten 67 off 48 balls, featuring nine fours.
Taylor was ably supported in an unbroken partnership of 85 by Lydia Greenway, who followed up some trademark excellence in the field with a tidily compiled 30 not out.
Greenway's diving stop to flick the ball back over the rope and prevent India's top scorer Harmanpreet Kaur, who made 34, hitting a second six is sure to become a YouTube hit.
It was unfortunate that a rare moment of adventure from India's batters was foiled by such a piece of athleticism, as the failure to push the accelerator that undermined them at Canterbury once again proved to be their undoing, along with a haphazard approach between the wickets.
Katherine Brunt, who took 3-18, led the way once more with the ball for England and completed an opening maiden by having Amita Sharma pouched behind by Taylor for a six-ball duck.
Skipper Mithali Raj then added a brisk 22 before also falling caught behind to Danielle Wyatt in the seventh over. Three balls later, remaining opener Poonam Raut was run out following some sharp work from Susie Rowe to leave India 38 for three.
Kaur added 51 for the fourth wicket with Mona Meshram before the latter sent an Arran Brindle full toss to Greenway.
From that point, India badly lost their way and when Brunt got rid of Kaur and Jhulan Goswami in her final set of six, the stage was set for the tourists to author their own downfall.
England began the reply in confident fashion, skipper Charlotte Edwards helping herself to a trio of boundaries before being trapped walking across her stumps by Nagarajan Niranjana.
Yet the India seamer was soon lofted elegantly down the ground as Taylor immediately found her stride.
Laura Marsh was run out backing up in the seventh over, bringing in Greenway for a lesson in chanceless accumulation - her first boundary brought up the fifty partnership as she stood on 20 off as many balls.
It was left to Taylor to provide the fireworks, and a brace of fours through the on side off Archana Das and Gouher Sultana finished the job in fitting style with 17 balls to spare.

Program Description
The Low Income Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) provides eligible households with full-scale home energy conservation services.
The Energy Conservation Unit (ECU) within the Department of Housing & Community Development's (DHCD) Division of Community Services (DCS), has administrative, programmatic, and fiscal oversight of the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded program. The Weatherization Assistance Program is operated locally by a network of 12 community-based organizations across the Commonwealth under contract with DHCD.
How it Works:
The Weatherization Assistance Program helps low-income households reduce their heating bills by providing full-scale home energy conservation services. Services provided by the program result in a more comfortable, safe home and a permanent improvement in the lives of occupants. The program is operational year round. The actual conservation work completed is dependent on the specific needs of the home.
After a household is determined eligible, the local agency schedules an energy inspection of the home. A DOE Certified Energy Auditor completes a full inspection of the energy and health and safety concerns of the home and completes a Work Order/Job Write-Up. Local private-sector weatherization contractors are hired to complete the work at no cost to the occupants. Typical work includes air sealing, attic and/or sidewall insulation, weather-stripping, and minor repairs associated with the weatherization work. Heating system work, if needed, is typically referred to HEARTWAP, a separate program administered by ECU. All work receives a thorough Quality Control inspection by the local agency's Energy Auditor. To the greatest extent possible, work is coordinated with any utility-funded Demand Side Management (DSM) programs that may be available in the area.
Who is Eligible:
Households with incomes that do not exceed 60% of the Estimated State Median Income may be eligible for the Weatherization Assistance Program. Program eligibility is based on household eligibility for the LIHEAP program. In addition, those households with a member receiving TAFDC or SSI are categorically eligible. Due to limited funding, priority points are awarded to households with members who are elderly, handicapped, children under 7, or Native Americans. Households with exceptionally high energy bills may also receive priority of service. Tenants (with landlord approval) as well as homeowners are eligible for weatherization.
Application Process:
Applicants must apply and be determined eligible for Federal LIHEAP (Fuel Assistance) to be eligible for the Weatherization Assistance Program. The Head of Household may apply to the local LIHEAP agency. Applicants are required to provide household income information
Weatherization services vary depending on the specific needs of the home and DOE approved conservation measures. An average grant of $5,500 is awarded for each home for installed energy efficiency measures. No client contribution is required.
For More Information:
Please contact DHCD's Division of Community Services at 617-573-1400, or toll free at 1-800-632-8175.

Jimmy Van Heusen: Swingin' with Frank & Bing
Saturday, August 9 at 7:00 p.m.
Celebrate the Oscar®-winning composer who wrote high-flying songs for Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.
Jimmy Van Heusen: Swingin' with Frank & Bing celebrates the four-time Oscar®-winning composer whose musical genius created dozens of beloved classics for the American Songbook. With a remarkable career that spanned five decades and several eras in popular music, his close association with two of the greatest entertainment icons of the last one hundred years — Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby — resulted in numerous hit songs for both.
Featuring interviews with Frank Sinatra, Jr., Harry Crosby, Tony Bennett, Angie Dickinson, Shirley MacLaine, Woody Allen and John Pizzarelli along with archival footage of timeless performances by Sinatra, Crosby, Judy Garland and many others.
Jimmy Van Heusen's relationships with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra were musical magic, and the composer's four Academy Award-winning songs are all best known for their Crosby-Sinatra performances: "Swinging on a Star," sung by Crosby in Going My Way (1944), "All The Way," performed by Sinatra in The Joker Is Wild (1957), "High Hopes" sung by Sinatra in A Hole in the Head (1959), and "Call Me Irresponsible," performed by Jackie Gleason in Papa's Delicate Condition (1963) but made famous by Sinatra and Jack Jones. In addition, Van Heusen won an Emmy® for the song "Love & Marriage" from the 1955 live television production of "Our Town." His collaborations with Crosby included the creation of songs for six of the seven Crosby-Hope "Road Pictures," as well as for the all-time Hollywood classics Going My Way and The Bells of St. Mary's.
Sinatra recorded over 80 songs by Van Heusen — more than any other composer — including "Come Fly With Me," "Here's That Rainy Day," "The Second Time Around" and "The Tender Trap." Close friends and musical kindred spirits, "they got into music together, they got into movies together and they got into trouble together," says Frank Sinatra, Jr. in the program.

Large addition in works for Oak Lawn's historic Warwick Melrose Hotel
The owners of Oak Lawn's historic Melrose Hotel have filed plans with the City of Dallas that detail their proposed expansion of the landmark.
The Warwick Melrose Hotel early last year purchased the storied Bronx Café on Cedar Springs Road and an adjoining building.
The 30,000-square-foot site has been cleared to make way for an addition to the 89-year-old hotel next door.
The development plans on file at city hall show a new building that would be constructed along Dickason Avenue on the north side of the hotel. The area fronting on Cedar Springs where the old Bronx restaurant stood would be used for surface parking.
The new building – which will be connected to the old hotel by an enclosed walkway – will include "a meeting space, spa, fitness center and pool for the Melrose Hotel and allow the expansion of the existing parking lot."
Good, Fulton & Farrell designed the project.
But first, the city plan commission must approve the expansion. And the city's Landmark Commission gets a pass at the deal since it involves a historic property.
Warwick International has owned the 184-room Melrose since 2007.
The Melrose – at Oak Lawn Avenue and Cedar Springs – is one of the oldest continuously operating Dallas hotels. When it was built it was one of the city's most popular "suburban" hotels.
The property has been remodeled several times since the early 1980s.

Deep Green Resistance Austin brings you another edible and medicinal plant nature walk.
Do you feel like a tourist in our local forests? Are the trails painted with a sea of 'green'? Wanna learn about your local plants and develop a deeper connection with them? There are many edible, medicinal, and otherwise useful plants right here in Central Texas! Wouldn't you like to get to know them?
Join DGR and some local naturalists for a free Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk.
We'll meet near the Hillside Theatre, an outdoor stage, at the head of the Barton Creek Greenbelt Trail. If you can't find us, call 512-537-3476.
Deep Green Resistance is a movement geared towards reestablishing our connection with the natural world, and dismantling the systems that are destroying our home. The walk will end with a brief discussion about how getting to know our land relates to the DGR strategy and analysis.
Our last walk was a good time. Thirty folks showed up! We learned what worked and what didn't work about the last one, and this one will be even better.
Bring your friends!

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

Release No.2002-47
Paris, July 25 - More than 100
million children around the world, most of them girls, do not
go to school. If nothing is done, they will join the 875 million
adults who are illiterate. The World Education Forum, held in
Dakar (Senegal) in 2000, took up this challenge by setting a goal
of universal primary education by 2015. Two years later, the first
results of these efforts are coming in.
An Education for All (EFA) Working
Group of representatives of international and non-governmental
organizations, developing countries and bilateral organizations
responsible for following up the Dakar Forum, met at UNESCO Headquarters
in Paris on July 22 and 23.
"Two years on from Dakar,
we see progress in putting mechanisms and resources into place
to move the EFA agenda forward," said UNESCO Director-General
Koïchiro Matsuura. "We must take the measure of our
joint international efforts to guarantee that no population group
remains marginalized from appropriate educational opportunities
and no country is abandoned or overlooked, including countries
in conflict and in post-conflict situations"
Among the 70 countries that have
already drawn up national programmes to implement the Dakar Framework
for Action, Burkina Faso and India told the meeting about their
In 1999, Burkina Faso adopted
a 10-year basic education development plan that was launched last
year. Some 45% of the population live below the poverty line with
an annual per capita income of US$220 or less, and just 27% can
read and write. The government designated 20 provinces as priority
areas because of their low school enrolment and decided to increase
the basic education budget by 6.8% by 2009. It is also handing
over responsibility for non-formal education - literacy and training
for out-of-school children - to NGOs, community groups and trade
unions working in this field.
India says literacy - among its
population of one billion with an annual per capita income of
US$450 - rose from 52.2% in 1991 to 65.4% last year. It has opened
130,000 new schools, enrolled 24 million more children and has
net school enrolment of 71%. The government has decided to focus
its efforts on five states, home to three-quarters of the country's
out-of-school children and to step up involvement of NGOs. It
says the national action plan will be ready by the end of this
At the international level, the
World Bank has launched its Fast-track Programme in line with
commitments made at the International Conference on Financing
Development in Mexico in March and at last month's G8 Summit in
Canada. This new programme will focus on funding Education for
All in 18 countries considered the most in need and meeting set
requirements. They are Albania, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia,
Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guyana, Honduras, Mauritania, Mozambique,
Nicaragua, Niger, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, Yemen and Zambia.
It will step up existing aid for five other countries - Bangladesh,
the Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
According to the Bank, an additional
2.5 to 5 billion US dollars a year are needed to achieve the target
of universal primary education by 2015. Education is currently
primarily financed from national budgets, while the international
community on average contributes about 3% of the funding.
"We welcome the pledges of
Monterrey and the G8 Summit in Canada," Mr Matsuura said.
"The idea of a development compact is highly attractive and
the broad emphasis on issues of good governance, such as democracy,
human rights, accountability and responsibility, is welcome. Allow
me, however, to briefly raise a cautionary note by asking whether
this stress on governance will always be helpful to education.
If increased support to education is made dependent on the wide-scale
reform of an entire system of governance, education may be held
back through no direct fault of its own. Perhaps it would be preferable
for educational assistance to be linked to the reform of the administration,
governance and accountability of the education system itself."
The High-Level Group on Education
for All (comprising government ministers and officials of international
NGOs and bilateral and multilateral bodies) will meet in Abuja
(Nigeria) on November 19 and 20, to be followed by a conference
of donor countries, organized by the European Commission on November
27 in Brussels (Belgium).
