School briefs - Henrico High School
This year's homecoming at Henrico High School was different from most other homecomings; this one celebrated the school's 50th anniversary.
Established in 1962, the school is celebrating 50 years with a Warrior Jubilee, which kicked off with an alumni tailgate before the Henrico football game against Atlee High School.
Homecoming celebrations continued the Jubilee on Oct. 12, starting with the homecoming parade which, aside from the usual clubs and homecoming court, featured principals from years past.
The fun continued into halftime when current homecoming princes and princesses shared the field with alumni princes and princesses. Past homecoming courts were not the only alumni groups recognized. Standing next to current Henrico High School students were alumni members of the drill team, choir, band and marching units, as well as majorettes and members of the color guard.
The alumni stepped onto the field all smiles. They looked very happy to be there, celebrating the 50th anniversary of their high school.
As a student watching the alumni celebrations at Henrico High, the school I have been proud to attend for the past three years, there's a sense of cheerfulness. I'll be graduating this year, but watching the alumni and the students together on that football field drove home the bitter-sweet memories that are promised to me in the future: no matter what, Henrico High will always be with me.

AARP The Magazine and the editors of Publishers Weekly have teamed up to let you know about the latest fiction, nonfiction and how-to books of interest to you. Once you've checked out the selections below, visit Publishers Weekly for reviews, author Q-and-A's and more.
By Cara Hoffman (Simon & Schuster, $25)
Nostalgic for the 1960s back-to-nature movement? In this remarkable debut, a married couple — a pair of doctors bent on pursuing a simpler life in upstate New York — learn more than they ever wanted to know about injustices in present-day America.
By William G. Tapply (Skyhorse, $24.95)
A nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court will stop at nothing to hide a dirty secret that dates back to the Vietnam War. This is a finely crafted thriller from Tapply (1940–2009), who is best known for his Brady Coyne mystery series.
By Don Winslow (Grand Central, $25.99)
Nicholai Hel was an accomplished assassin when novelist Trevanian (the pen name of Rodney Whitaker, 1931–2005) introduced him in Shibumi in 1979. Now Winslow (Savages) dons Trevanian's mantle and cloaks Hel in a tangled series of adventures in this exciting prequel. In exchange for his release from an American-run prison in 1951 Japan, Hel takes on a new identity and sets off on a seemingly suicidal mission to rub out a Soviet commissioner in China. Hel's mastery of Go and hoda korosu ("naked kill," or without weapons) proves key to his survival.
By Kate Atkinson (Reagan Arthur Books, $24.99)
British author Atkinson's seamlessly plotted fourth novel featuring Jackson Brodie takes the "semi-retired" PI back to his Yorkshire hometown to trace the biological parents of Hope McMasters, a woman adopted by a couple in the 1970s at age two. So why isn't Hope's adoption on record? And why don't her parents show up in any database? Atkinson injects wit into even the bleakest moments — and never loses her razor-sharp edge.
By Stewart O'Nan (Viking, $25.95)
The novelist is a peerless observer with a knack for finding resonant stories in undistinguished lives. Here he checks back in with the Maxwell family (from Wish You Were Here) as matriarch Emily navigates later life, a thinning field of contemporaries and the misunderstandings unique to parents and their grown children — and grandchildren.
By Gabrielle Hamilton. (Random, $25)
If it's true that a successful restaurant demands a mix of cookery and stagecraft, Gabrielle Hamilton's parentage admirably prepared her to become the owner and chef of New York's Prune restaurant: Her French mother cooked "tails, claws, and marrow-filled bones" in high heels, while her father fashioned sets for Ringling Bros. Circus. Here she engagingly retraces the unorthodox trajectory of her life.
By Ruth Brandon (Harper, $26.99)
Vanity. Gender politics. Wheeling. Dealing. And oh yes, one fascinating character: They all populate the life story of Helena Rubinstein. One of the first self-made female millionaires, Rubenstein took umbrage at the "No Jews" policy of a luxury Park Avenue apartment — and bought the entire building. Later, at 91, she calmly thwarted robbers in her home.
Edited by Steven Bingen, Stephen X. Sylvester and Michael Troyan, foreword by Debbie Reynolds (Santa Monica, $34.95)
An intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the backlot that was home to some of the 20th century's most famous screenwriters and actors (among the latter: Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Elizabeth Taylor, Katherine Hepburn). Readers become privy to famous movie sets (Tarzan's swinging vines; the mansion from The Philadelphia Story) and everyday life (the school where child actors learned their lessons) in this handsome coffee-table collection.
By Anne Roiphe (Doubleday/Talese, $23.95)
Roiphe's fascinating memoir of her literary youth in New York City during the late 1950s and early 1960s harbors a dark story of untenable marriages, alcoholism and outrageous sexism. She presents vivid, priceless snapshots of Communist hysteria, faddish homosexuality and the heartbreaking fragility of talented men.
By Bradford Martin (Hill and Wang, $26)
In a valuable and wide-ranging portrait of the complex political cross-currents that swirled through a decade too often seen simplistically as "Morning in America," historian Martin details some countervailing trends: the efforts to advance abortion rights, dismantle South African apartheid and encourage nuclear disarmament.
By Michael Schwartz and Joann Cianciulli (Clarkson Potter, $35)
James Beard Award winner Schwartz serves up a stellar mix of meticulously planned recipes that focus on seasonal flavors while introducing such trendy ingredients as Italian fregola; nutty, Spanish romesco sauce; and fiery-hot North African harissa. Bet you didn't know that habanero hot sauce works well in a Bloody Mary!
By Ken Altshuler (Sellers, $15.95)
A morning DJ from Maine takes us on a rollicking trip across the links, mixing a golfbag-load of fun into a seemingly endless list of what can and cannot be done while playing the game. Laughs aside, this is a highly useful book that looks at golf from a fundamentally reverential perspective.
By Taylor Clark (Little, Brown, $25.99)
Why do some people evince nerves of steel under stress while others become wet noodles? Examining the neuroscience of fear, Clark highlights stories of people who stayed calm in life-or-death situations. He offers tips for the timid on how to keep your act together: You can start by accepting uncertainty, he says, and working with — not fighting — your fears.
By Howard S. Friedman and Leslie R. Martin (Hudson Street, $25.95)
An 80-year-long Stanford University study of 1,500 people turned up surprising lessons about who lives a long, healthy life — and why. It's all about finding personal balance while living conscientiously — which is to say, applying forethought, planning and perseverance to one's professional and personal lives.
By Margaret Heffernan (Walker & Company, $26)
We routinely ignore painful or frightening truths, argues Heffernan, subconsciously believing that denial can protect us. Yet suffering ignored continues unabated, so our delusions leave us ever more vulnerable. Heffernan cites examples from the private (a woman who married an alcoholic; another oblivious to her husband's sexual abuse of her daughter) to the public: Alan Greenspan ignoring the housing bubble, a soldier working for Hitler. All in all, a thoughtful and entertaining treatise on the seductiveness — and consequences — of overlooking what's staring us right in the eyes.

Mining the Mother of all Data Dumps We now have a relatively massive haul of digital data from the OBL strike. There are several forensic toolkits in use by the private (commercially available) and public sector as well as open-source. Best practices include inventorying all the sources, cloning the sources so as to not damage pristine data, recovering any partial or damaged content, making the cloned sources read-only, adhering to legally-admissible tools standards, and documenting everything.

"You've got...WTF?"
AOL releases 3-months of queries from 500k users. AOL, either fairly or unfairly, is sometimes considered the internet with training wheels. So while parsing this data, keep that in mind.

AOL tried to retract the data, but it's of no use - it's out there, on the web.
Google starts an internal futures market
Google's Crystal Ball::NYTimes. Quite interesting...Via TechDirt:
Google has created a predictive market system, basically a way for its employees to bet on the likelihood of possible events. Such markets have long been used to predict world events, like election results. Intrade, part of the Trade Exchange Network, allows people to bet on elections, stock market indexes and even the weather, for example.I wonder how accurate the aggregated content of blogs would be to measure the likelihood of prospective real world events? The economist they consulted, Hal R. Varian, has some interesting links on his web page as well. I think that the internet better get their anti-spam technology up to par before we have people "gaming" the future through blogspam. For an explanation of Futures Markets (charts), see this page at the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Malique Watkins faced a tidal wave of adversity during the 2013 football season.
The Martinsburg quarterback not only had to deal with an injured shoulder during the Bulldogs' championship season, but he and Martinsburg faced an even bigger battle off the field when eligibility issues faced the all-state player.
The saga started at the beginning of the season when Martinsburg was alerted to possible eligibility violations by the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commision prior to the Bulldogs' season opener against H.D. Woodson. Watkins sat out that game.
Article Photos
No. 7: Martinsburg quarterback Malique Watkins flew past eligibility issues and sailed into the state championship game.
A few weeks later, a day before Martinsburg's game against Morgantown, the SSAC ruled him eligible. The organization based its decision on rule 127-2-5.3.a, which states, "A student held back one year on sixth, seventh, or eighth grade without failing shall lose the fourth year of eligibility after entering ninth grade."
Essentially, the issue was whether or not Watkins gained an extra academic year during a series of transfers to different schools. He completed the eighth grade, then transferred to St. James School, Md., where he didn't qualify for the ninth grade and completed eighth grade again.
He moved back to Berkeley County for the 2010-2011 school year, where he was enrolled as a freshman at Hedgesville, then moved on to Martinsburg and continued his academic path.
With the help of injunctions, Watkins continued to play. When it was all said and done, the SSAC reversed its previous ruling and deemed him eligible, and the Bulldogs won another state title.

Hornets center Robin Lopez undergoes knee surgery
Make that three surgeries in eight days.
The New Orleans Hornets announced on Saturday that Lopez, acquired from the Phoenix in a three-team sign-and-trade in July, underwent successful surgery to repair a tear of the medial meniscus in his left knee.
New Orleans expects Lopez to be ready for fall training camp.
Lopez becomes the third Hornet to undergo surgery in little more than a week. 2012 lottery pick Austin Rivers underwent surgery on his ankle to treat bone spurs while guard Xavier Henry also underwent arthroscopic knee surgery.
Lopez, 24, averaged 5.8 points and 3.3 rebounds during four years with the Suns.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on March 31, 2012.
The Brohoof Podcast is a weekly podcast that discusses the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and its fandom.
This project's funding goal was not reached on March 31, 2012.
The Brohoof Podcast is a weekly podcast that focuses on the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and its fandom. Along with episode discussions, topics cover news concerning the show and its merchandising, as well as community news regarding original creations (music, art, comic, etc) and other general news. The show is recorded every week over Skype and lasts about an hour, and we occasionally host live streams of our recordings as well as other online events on Google+.
The main focus of this fundraiser is for better recording equipment, i.e. studio microphones and pop filters. We mainly use desk mics and headsets, and we notice the audio quality is not what it could be, but we don't have the funds to upgrade. We're also planning to expand and hold contests occasionally for our fans, and a contest isn't fun without prizes. Prizes are also a luxury that is beyond our current budget, so every dollar will go towards better rewards for winners. There are also other things we're looking into such as editing software and domain hosting that will help better the show, but our primary goal is hardware.
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

Hello, Sue.Unfortunately, I cannot find all my notes, xeroxed at the time from the Sutro Library in San Francisco, CA.The references, however, throughout these pages, are frequently quoted from Foxe.
This publication, page 1351, shows that: Tyndale commenced to study at Oxford at the beginning of Easter term 1510 under the name of William Hychyns.According to Foxe, he was entered at Magdalen Hall.He supplicated for admissions as B.A. on 13 May 1512, and was admitted on 4 July.In February 1512-13 he acted as a determiner.He was licensed for the degree of M.A. on 26 June 1515, and was created M.A. on 2 July (Register of the University of Oxford, Oxford Hist. Soc., i. 80, 121).
William Tyndale was attracted to Oxford and Cambridge because of the bold, revolutionary new methods of scriptural studies.
About the time he was tutor to the children of Sir John Walsh, the Gloucestershire clergy were less advanced in their opinions than the scholars of the universities.The persecution which he encountered caused him to believe that the church was in serious decline.His increasing sympathy with the reformers and his openly public opinions were a source of concern for the safety, security, and position of his family.
Again, the names of Sir Michael, the regicide, and Ainsworth (in my family Bible) indicate rather determined individuals!Could be the name would be changed depending on which side of the fence they favored.

Updates to a piece of hardware's software is included with the original purchase. You get all those with silver. Just because work is put into a con doesn't make it less of a con.
Ad Hominem.
Oh man, I go to play some games and get ready for work and look at this nonsense coming forth.
Not even gonna start quoting people left and right as I have little time or care, so I'll just state this...
This silly thought that I should empathize with those so unfortunate not to be able to or refuse to pay for Gold has to be the dumbest statement made from a gamer. Not even the Sony fanboy trolls have said something so stupid and that is saying a lot. If I'm gonna use my empathy it'll go toward starving kids in 3rd world countries, not those who have a great system in the 360, but woefully can't get online. Did you even think that s*** through?
The other thought that Live isn't a service is a close second, but clearly this Web guy had an agenda from the start with his nonsense.
Denying reality is an issue with some of you. Seek help.

We don't have any games so its speculation.
No it's not! Keep deluding yourself all you want, but the mastery of devs only gets you so far. When the PS4 has much better specs, it's out of developer hands!

If part of that was directed at me then I never said to empathize with people who don't pay for live based on principle. Why would the need sympathy for realizing a scam is a scam? The people who need sympathy are the ones who get scammed.

You aren't getting a different game just slightly better graphics. Quit trying to make it out to be the difference between a tomagatchi system and a super computer.

Note that September 10 is the final submission deadline, query well in advance. Include a SASE or email address for reply. to the QUICK takes FNA print and electronic rights. Direct to: Davis Schneiderman Submissions Editor to the QUICK
or via snail mail at: to the QUICK English Department PO Box 6000 Binghamton University Binghamton, New York 13902 **to the QUICK's general submission guidelines follow, which also explain the journal magazine's approach and style: SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: CONTENT. We want essays, articles, and columns (or proposals outlining such projects) that perform thematic, theoretical, and cultural analyses of media arts like TV shows, films, music, or cultural movements and issues as diverse as you can possibly imagine. These media forms have in the past been dismissed as unimportant cultural markers when measured against the mass of "literary" studies. to the QUICK continues the work of media literacy and cultural studies programs by drawing attention to the meaning existent in all discussions and arts. We also take the notion of "interdisciplinary" to heart, believing that each discipline is another way of reading the world and yet is part of a very similar critical attitude. to the QUICK therefore takes the stance that writing across disciplines—through carefully contextualized writing—can say informative and fascinating things to readers unexposed to the original field. STYLE. If not already implicit, you should make clear how your analysis is culturally relevant, what issues your reading is raising. The less the subject is popular or well-known, the greater the need to point out this cultural relevancy rather than relying on the weight of a theoretical framework. It is not necessary that essays implement critical theory. However, theory is a way of reading the world and can be useful and exciting. Essays should still avoid one of the pitfalls of academic writing: the dropping of esoteric terms or phrases without context. Careful emphasis should be placed on the relevancy of allusions and terminology; the reader should not have to wallow through a dense litter of meaningless prose. QUICKTIPS. * Be sure to describe the subject in such a way that the reader does not have to know the subject in order to appreciate your point. Present your context! * TTQ does not publish film or music reviews. * If your essay exceeds our word limit, please "cut" it yourself! SUBMIT. Essays and articles: 4500 words maximum Columns: 500 - 4000 words Book reviews: 500 - 1000 words To the Quick DOES read unsolicited submissions but encourages short queries. Query for book reviews. You may send in submissions at any time, but submissions received after each semester's deadline will be held until the next semester. Indicate word count for all text w/endnotes. Please observe Chicago Manual Style and put all parenthetical information into endnotes, with no Works Cited. If you have access to and permission for related photos or images, please indicate. Your article will be given a careful peer-review. We are also interested in reprinting pieces published elsewhere. TTQ needs pieces for our columns: "The Obligatory Old Book Review" takes an "old" book, author, or theorist and presents an original argument as to its contemporary relevance; "The Rewrite Department" uses experimental non-fiction to comment on contemporary cultural issues; and "Slipstream" picks out an event of cultural significance from the contributor's life, describing and analyzing it in a memoir-like, creative style. For examples of these articles, as well as information regarding subscriptions and instructor desk copies, peruse our web site on-line at www.tothequick.org. Our latest release (Issue #4) focuses on PROTEST movements and includes articles on the Islamic Taliban, the Los Angeles Anarchists, the S11 World Economic Forum in Melbourne, and Piethrowing. To order Issue #4, send a check made out to "Joe Bisz," our Managing Editor, for $6.33 within the United States (add $.50 for Canada, $3.00 overseas). You may purchase Issue #4 and #3 together for $8.99 (if out of US, add above shipping costs). Our previous issues feature analyses of a variety of cultural icons, films, and television shows—see our website or contact us for more info. (To join our TTQ announcement list and receive direct email updates of our Call for Submissions, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with a message in the email (not the subject line) saying SUBSCRIBE TTQ FIRSTNAME LASTNAME where "FIRSTNAME" and "LASTNAME" are replaced by your first and last names.)

If New York's colorful junior welterweight contender Francisco "Gato" Figueroa (20-4-1, 13 KOs) attacks his next opponent, Colombian slugger Breidis Prescott (25-4, 18 KOs) as quickly and relentlessly as he talks, he will win easily.
A tsunami of ideas and stories and plans, the likeable Figueroa says he's primed and ready to get back in the game with a big win when he faces Prescott in the 10-round main event of Warriors Boxing's "Miami Warfare II" event on Saturday, August 18, at the MACC at the Doubletree Hotel in Miami, Florida.
In the co-main event that night, Cuban super featherweight sensation Rances "Kid Blast" Barthelemy will face dangerous spoiler Alejandro "Soma" Rodriguez (14-6, 7 KOs) of Guadalajara, Mexico.
The two main fights will also be televised live on Telefutura's Solo Boxeo Tecate.
"When they asked me if I want to fight Prescott, I said 'hell yeah! He better sign that contract!'" says Figueroa enthusiastically of the decision to take the fight against the fearsome Colombian banger. "Why not? All my fights are dangerous. I'm a good fighter. Why bother with tune-up fights? I'm young and strong right now. Besides, I don't care about anybody's style. I just want to fight. I can box. I can hit. I know who I am. I am so happy this fight is happening. He'll bring the heat, but so will I."
Now working with new trainer "Hollywood" Hino (Ehikhamenor) at Trinity Boxing on Wall Street in New York City, Figueroa says he's not intimidated by Prescott and will be looking to pull off the upset.
"I don't come to lose. I'm sure Prescott doesn't care about me. He's talking about Amir Kahn. But he better be ready because August 18, I'm going to win. Prescott is just super aggressive. Most of his knockouts were in Colombia. It's a different ball game here. He's not smart or mobile. He's a bull. He doesn't know how to go to his left at all. He throws wide hooks, all power shots. And he gets mad fast. He's a mad man. But they have it set up for him to win. Eight rounds at 142 lbs. They know he gets tired, so they're making it an eight-round fight, so he's going to be able to go harder over the shorter distance. He better be ready when he gets in that ring because I'm very motivated. After I beat Prescott I'm back in the game immediately."
Boxing is just one of Figueroa's many pursuits. The ultimate goal of them all is to acquire the wealth necessary to make his family comfortable.
"What don't I do? I'm a lifestyle coach, a singer, dancer, boxer, actor, model and a motivator. I'm an entrepreneur as well. I've been blessed. I'll be auditioning on the X Factor show after this fight. I'm a self-taught singer. X Factor will be my first public singing performance. Well, my first was karaoke for my wife. This will be the second. I just want to showcase my talents. I'm a performer. I've been fortunate that everything I've wanted to do, I've achieved. If I'm able to go on X Factor and go to Hollywood, that'll be the start of something huge.
It's all part of the plan for this athletically gifted, self-described hustler with 1000 dreams.
"I just incorporated my 'Can't Stop Won't Stop' company and I'll be using my boxing money to start an apparel line. I've always been a hustler since I was a little boy. When I asked my mom for money, she said 'if you want money, go outside and collect cans.' So I did. Then I started packing bags at grocery store. Then I got a paper route. I go out and get it. I don't wait for anything to come to me. I hustle. I'm not a struggling boxer. I do very well outside of boxing. I don't wait for my manager to call me. I love boxing; it's fun and competitive. This is like bonus money for me and I can use it to generate a bigger name for my company."
Also scheduled for action that night will be a host of local and international prospects and contenders including super middleweight Roberto J. Acevedo 5-0 (3 KOs) of Bayamón, Puerto Rico, in a four-rounder vs. TBA; light heavyweight bomber Vilier Quinonez 3-0 (2 KOs) of Cienfuegos, Cuba, who will fight a six-rounder vs. TBA; undefeated light heavyweight Yunieski Gonzalez (8-0, 5 KOs) of Havana, Cuba, who will fight a six-rounder vs. TBA; and middleweight Leosvy Mayedo (2-0, 2 KOs) of Miami, who will fight a four-rounder vs. TBA.
Tickets are priced at $75 ringside/$30 general admission. A limited number of VIP tables are also available. Please call (954) 985-1155 or (786) 553-3895 to purchase tickets.
On fight night, doors open 6:30 and the action starts 7:30. The MACC at the Doubletree Hotel is located at 711 NW 72nd Avenue in Miami.

BMI View : A growing African middle class is boosting demand for food products across the continent, and several countries are well-placed to tap into this market. We identify producers and retailers in South Africa and Kenya as having strong potential. While production of processed foods will gradually increase, retailers and exporters in countries like Brazil are also set to profit from growing African consumption.
African countries spend over US$60bn annually importing food for their growing populations, but the continent has the potential to become a major food exporter. Huge tracts of unused arable land, low fertilis er use, and poor irrigation offer immense scope for improving yields, which are among the lowest in the world. Even small improvements could significantly boost production, creating export industries and, potentially, millions of new jobs in a labour-intensive sector.
Interest in this untapped potential is growing as a rising middle class boosts African demand for food products (especially for processed and packaged food), creating a continental food market that the World Bank estimates could be worth US$1trn in 2030. While exporters in Asia and Brazil stand to gain the most in the short term, BMI believes that food producers, processors, and shippers in Kenya and South Africa and retailers Nigeria are all well-placed to serve the growing African consumer market.
|A Growing Consumer Class
|Africa - Middle Class By US$ Daily Expenditure, Millions
|Emerging Breadbasket
|South Africa - Agricultural Production, US$mn
South Africa: A Cut Above
Among Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, South Africa is distinguished by the scale, development, and global reach of its agribusiness sector. The country is home to major food producers and, almost unique in its region, exports high value-added food products, notably wine. As food demand across Africa rises, South Africa's transport connections with neighbouring countries should help boost exports.
On the commercial side of the equation, BMI believes that South African companies such as Shoprite and Massmart (the latter owned by Wal-Mart), which already have operations across Southern Africa, are well-placed to benefit from rising consumer spending power. Shoprite's Freshmark division, which sources and distributes food for the company, is expanding its capabilities just as the growth of the formal retail sector will make food logistics a booming business across the region.
While business conditions vary across Africa, BMI believes that South African firms combine the scale necessary to expand across borders with an understanding of local conditions that provides an advantage over other foreign competitors.
Kenya: Emerging Agribusiness Hub?
One of the key obstacles to the growth of the agribusiness sector is the difficulty of trading across national borders; small domestic markets prevent the development of economies of scale and keep input costs high. In Kenya, however, close trade links with both Uganda and Tanzania and with large markets in Europe have seen the country develop a major food export industry. While still based on tea, Kenya now has a thriving vegetable export sector and the country's well-developed dairy industry is looking to expand.
BMI believes that Kenyan firms' ability to manage complex supply chains and experience dealing with European import and health requirements will help them to expand across Africa's often trade-distorting borders. Sugar producer Mumias is boosting production to meet the country's domestic demand while agricultural firms like Kakuzi are increasing their exports of higher-value products such as packaged avocados and, through a joint venture with Del Monte, pineapples. Kenya is also developing a domestic packaging and processing industry, based around firms like meat producer Farmers' Choice, a value-added sector which is vital for creating jobs and which the government is keen to support through its ambitious Vision 2030 plan.
Kenya's position as the economic hub of the East African Community (EAC) encourages local firms to expand into a growing market of over 130mn pepole; Nairobi-based Nakumatt Holdings proudly boasts of being the leading retail player in Uganda and Rwanda while competitor Uchumi has announced its vision of being the 'supermarket of choice' across the EAC. While troublesome bureaucracy continues to pose barriers to a true common market, no similar level of cross-border expansion exists in other regional blocs, giving Kenyan firms (as well as Ugandan ones, like meat producer Fresh Cuts) an advantage over many rivals.
Nigeria: Retail Growth, Production Potential Unlikely To Be Realised
In Nigeria, however, a huge domestic market makes the difficulty of trading across borders a minor concern. Even so, BMI believes that the country's massive agribusiness potential is unlikely to be realised soon, and we expect weak logistics and a difficult business environment to mean that foreign food exporters will profit most from the rising spending power of Nigeria's 160mn people.
|The Great Tomato Conundrum
|Nigeria - Unmanufactured Tomato Production, 1000s of Tonnes (LHS) & Tomato Product Imports, US$mn (RHS)
Nigerian imports of tomato products, which increased by a factor of 42 between 2003 and 2010, have become an issue of serious national debate, with the head of the central bank asking why a country that is one of the world's top tomato producers is almost totally dependent on imported Chinese tomato paste. Despite attempts by local conglomerates such as Dangote and Transcorp to develop processed food industries, the country imports almost all of its packaged and prepared food, a bill which is growing as the country's population increases.
While Nigeria's huge domestic market gives it great potential, BMI believes that t he same infrastructure, labour, and business environment issues that have discouraged the development of other light manufacturing will harm attempts to boost Nigeria's local production of processed and added-value foods in the short term .
Domestic winners from Nigeria's growing food consumption are more likely to be retailers such as Artee Group 's Park'n'Shop rather than food producers. South Africa's Shoprite is also expanding in the country.
|Imports On The Rise
|Africa - Chicken Meat Production & Imports
Brazil: Tapping Into The African Growth Story
The challenges facing domestic producers are even graver in other smaller African countries, as poor trade connections and bureaucratic barriers prevent regional trade. It is often cheaper to source food products from Latin America or Asia rather than produce them domestically or buy them from neighbouring countries. Poor infrastructure means that spoilage rates are high; it is easier to ship frozen food from China to Nigeria than from Benin to neighbouring Mali.
The growing role of foreign suppliers in meeting African food needs is shown by the state of the continent's chicken industry. In 1990 Africa bought a fifth as much chicken abroad as it produced at home, but by 2010 the continent was importing almost a quarter as much as it produced domestically.
Brazilian firms control 60% of the imported chicken market in many countries, and BMI believes that the country's well-developed meat industry and low feed costs leave it well-positioned to profit from rising meat consumption in many African countries. Rising incomes are also boosting Africa's imports of Chinese frozen fish, and of packaged and processed food of all kinds.
Bringing Production Home
In the medium term, African transportation, shipping, and retail firms should profit as middle class consumers from Luanda to Kampala begin to buy more foreign products. Over the longer term, we believe that domestic production is likely to grow through joint ventures between African and foreign firms along the lines of the investments made by SABMiller and Diageo in West Africa's growing beer market.

Harrison tallied 15 points while Simmons poured in 38 on the strength of eight treys. Harrison was on her way to the basket with the ball in the open court when her left shoe popped off, but she kept heading to the paint, much to the delight of the crowd and her future teammates watching in the stands.
It's the informal nature of the league that is appealing to the fans and players, who signed autographs and posed for photos throughout the evening. Kelley Cain, who retired last spring with one year of eligibility remaining because of chronic pain, also was in the stands to cheer on the teams.
"We love our fans," senior forward Alicia Manning said. "We love that they support us. As you can see they all showed up, and we are very appreciative of that."
Manning teamed with fellow senior Glory Johnson on the DeRoyal team to scoot past the News Sentinel, 88-74, in the first game of the night. Manning had 32 points while Johnson tallied 33. Webb senior Marjorie Butler, who is verbally committed to Georgia, led the News Sentinel with 34 points.
Butler is one of at least 12 high school players who signed up to play this summer, an experience that is particularly beneficial for the youngsters with the chance to go against college talent. Butler's game is college ready, but a few of the high schoolers looked a little shell-shocked when they took the floor.
Johnson and Manning combined for 65 of DeRoyal's 88 points, and it could have been even higher as both passed up open shots to get teammates involved as they deferred to the Lady Vols. Kaylah Cutshaw, who plays for Christian Academy of Knoxville, added 12 points for DeRoyal.
One of the area's best prep players isn't even in high school yet but was helping her father, Atlee Hammaker, on the sideline, as he is coaching the Pilot team and helping to fill in for league Commissioner Habibi Andre, whose out-of-state job has prevented her from being present. Anna Hammaker, who is not playing in the league just yet, will be a freshman at CAK this fall and is already getting interest from Division I schools.
But the overall appeal for the fans is the presence of the Lady Vols, and Pat Summitt, who can't watch the proceedings by NCAA rules, granted the OK for the Tennessee players to participate.
There was good news about the health of a few of those players. Johnson, who had surgery on her left thumb last April to repair ligament damage, had it taped but has been cleared to play. Alyssia Brewer, who missed most of last season after Achilles tendon surgery, had a cleanup procedure after the season.
Vicki Baugh, who is coming back from multiple knee surgeries, is not playing in the league because of injury risk but does participate in pickup with her teammates on campus. Given the varying levels of skill on the court in a summer league, extra caution is needed, and the Lady Vols avoided collisions at times.
"I think she is getting a lot more confident," Manning said of Baugh. "We play pickup, and she does scrimmage with us. She is so long and athletic. She can just get up to the rim with ease."
Baugh and Brewer, who were both limited last season by injury and rehab, will be needed this season even more with the graduation of Cain.
"I think we all knew she was hurting, but it was kind of up in the air as to what she was going to do," Manning said. "It was a little bit of a shocker for us."
"With people playing when they're hurt, it's tough," Johnson said. "You're not going to play to your full potential."
"My mind-set even before we knew she wasn't coming back was that I needed to do big things for this team, kind of like my sophomore year, but better," Brewer said."
Harrison also will provide some depth in the paint with her summer priority being to get in college basketball condition. She showed her athleticism Monday evening on some plays – and finished a left-handed layup cleanly – but will have to get prepared to run the floor. Baugh sets the example in the pickup games.
"Exactly," Harrison said. "She gets up and down the floor even though she had a knee injury. She still works her butt off even in the weight room. We are (weight room) partners, and it helps push me, because I know if Vicki can do it she will help me out, and I can push through, too."
Brewer was in the stands and leading the cheers with Kamiko Williams when Harrison lost her shoe on the court. When Harrison made a nice move to the basket, Brewer, Williams, Manning and Shekinna Stricklen erupted with the other fans.
"I think it will help a lot that she has upperclassmen to look to, unlike we did when we came in," Brewer said. "It's going to be different for us in a way because we're not only going to continue to lead this team but show (the underclassmen) what it takes, sort of handing down the reins."
Brewer's team wrapped up play on Monday evening as she teamed with Williams on Smith & Hammaker.
The relaxed nature of the league was on display when Brewer got called for a foul when Stricklen drove to the basket. Brewer protested the call to a smiling official, and Stricklen, as she prepared to shoot the free throws told Brewer, "You displaced me."
"I displaced your shot," Brewer retorted to much laughter from Stricklen and Taber Spani.
Brewer said she was just cleared to run a week ago, and she is using the league to help get in game condition.
"It feels a lot better than what it did before," Brewer said. "I am just trying to get back in the groove. That's why I look like I haven't played in months. I haven't. I am staying here second session to work out with Heather (Mason) and to rehab."
Brewer chipped in with nine points, while Williams tallied 21 points. Stephanie Torrence, who played at Farragut High School and is now at Auburn-Montgomery University, added 19 points.
Spani, who is playing in the league for the first time – she missed it a year ago to recover from a foot injury – scored 24 points and Shekinna Stricklen added 22 to lead Fellowship of Christian Athletes to a 79-70 win over Smith & Hammaker.
It was the last game of the evening – and the most entertaining as FCA went down by 14 points in the second half and came back on the strength of Spani and Stricklen's shooting to seize the win. Tyler Powers, who plays for Lenoir City High School, banked in a trey to tie the game at 67 and finished with 20 points.
Brewer is one of five true seniors on the Lady Vols team – the others are Manning, Johnson, Stricklen and Briana Bass, who worked the scoreboard for all three games Monday – seeking their first Final Four. Redshirt senior Baugh won a national title as a freshman.
"Senior just kind of rolls off the tongue," Brewer said. "It feels longer than three years. It feels like it's been five or six. We've had to learn everything the hard way.
"I have a really good feeling about this team. Every year we get more mature. You can tell in the way we play pickup and in our workouts. It's a totally different atmosphere. We know that it's do or die now."
Play resumes Tuesday at Christian Academy of Knoxville beginning at 6 p.m. with Smith & Hammaker vs. Duncan Automotive, DeRoyal vs. Pilot and the News Sentinel vs. FCA. Admission and parking are free.
Game One: DeRoyal vs. The News Sentinel
Alicia Manning and Glory Johnson
Game Two: Pilot vs. Duncan Automotive
Isabelle Harrison and Meighan Simmons
Game Three: Smith & Hammaker vs. Fellowship of Christian Athletes

The list of future training events can be viewed in the "Upcoming Events" section of the ERRA website: >>
ERRA has developed a comprehensive needs assessment and training programme through which it provides capacity building services since early 2000s. These programmes are built upon sound working knowledge of regulatory economics, an understanding of policy impacts and the ability to navigate national policy processes, and effective agency management of the legal and organizational processes necessary for adequate "due-process" protection in regulatory activities. In addition, training programs also take into account local conditions and national values as well as the increasing movements toward regional markets and expanded trade in electricity, which are moving nations into more compatible, harmonized regulatory arrangements.
ERRA Certified Energy Regulator Programme
ERRA developed the Certified Energy Regulator training certificate to indicate that participants in ERRA courses have achieved a set level of fluency in the regulatory field. The feedback from participants has been positive and provides them with a recognized certificate that enables them and others to know of their regulatory competency.
In order to receive the certicifate, participants should collect at least 30 credits within 3 years.
Credits awarded upon successful completion of the ERRA Training Courses: 10 CER credits. Criteria for a successful completion of the classroom training courses:

Mark Naison: Policies which claim to be in the "public interest" that only affect other people's children and affirm race and class privilege, should be subject to the most careful kind of scrutiny.
Begun the Drone Wars Have
Joseph Palermo: We need to put the pressure on the Obama administration to reel in the drone program and put the United States on the side of common decency in calling for a United Nations-brokered ban on these pernicious weapons.
LA Protest Against Israel's War on Civilians in Gaza
As the aerial bombardment of Gaza's homes, markets, hospitals, schools and more continues–and with the potential invasion of Israeli ground troops–join us for an emergency action to demand an immediate end to the attacks and ending all U.S. aid to Israel.
American Public Opposes War with Iran
Tom Hayden: The question is whether Obama will be able to hold out against the Israeli and AIPAC pressure in the volatile weeks ahead.
Afghanistan: A Moment of Opportunity for Obama
Tom Hayden: The targeted killing of Osama bin Laden is powerful evidence that terrorist threats, both real and hypothetical, can be more effectively suppressed by special forces operations than by deploying hundreds of thousands of American soldiers on the ground.
Libya: Negotiations Now!
Tom Hayden: The Qaddafi regime, while unpopular and unstable, can inflict massive damage if cornered. The situation calls for diplomatic intervention, seeking a cease-fire and talks towards a peaceful transition, including future elections.
Obama: We Won't Sacrifice Schools for Wars
Randy Shaw: In a galvanizing April Fools' Day speech in Madison, Wisconsin, President Barack Obama announced that his Administration would "no longer prioritize military spending over educating our children."

James Madison, author of the First Amendment, said: "Conscience is the most sacred of all property." With the Obama administration's mandate that all but a few employers will be forced to purchase coverage for contraception, abortion drugs and sterilization services, even when they seriously object to them, that most sacred property is now being taken away.
But hopefully it will not be taken away without a fight.
To force religious ministries and citizens to buy health care coverage to which they object as a matter of conscience and religious principle, health care plans that will mandate inclusion of such "preventative health care measures" as the "morning after pill" is a direct and fundamental violation of freedom of religion and religious principle.
All who support the First Amendment to the Constitution must now stand up and fight. We can begin the fight by contacting the White House and letting the administration know that they have crossed the line. We can continue the fight by contacting Rep. Mac Thornberry, and Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn and tell them to support Sen. Marco Rubio's Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 2012, which would repeal the Obama administration's mandate requiring health care plans to cover abortifacients, contraception and sterilization. You can find easy ways to contact them through the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website at www.usccb.org.
We must support every legitimate remedy to this outrageous threat to religious liberty before our most sacred property, our conscience, is taken from us.

Bittersweet Honorable Mention: Best With Afternoon Coffee
Xocolatl-Cranberry Biscotti from Katie went in our to-make-soon file, along with our other recent Honorable Mention, Spring's Bittersweet Granola. Granola for the morning, biscotti for the afternoon. Recipe and comments from Katie below...
From Katie:
These biscotti pair the bitter flavors of bittersweet chocolate and tart unsweetened cranberries with the sweetness of cinnamon cookie and dark chocolate accented with chilies. Biscotti are the most coffee-friendly baked goods, and these particular ones are the paragon of coffee accompaniment -- their bitter and spicy flavors set against the cinnamon of the cookies perfectly complement the flavor of coffee. Additionally, this recipe yields extremely hard biscotti, and the prolonged dunking required to soften them sufficiently means that the cookies actively absorb the coffee, ensuring that the flavors have time to mingle and enhance each other.Xocolatl-Cranberry Biscotti 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed 1 egg 2 2/3 cup pastry flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup dried unsweetened cranberries 1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped 1/3 cup dark chocolate with chilies, chopped (Dagoba "xocolatl" or similar bar) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream the butter and add the two sugars, stirring until smooth and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl, and add the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated. Mix in the cranberries and both types of chocolate. The batter will be very dry. Line a baking sheet with parchment and shape the dough into two loaves about 1 inch tall and 2 inches wide. Bake 35 minutes, or until firm, dry, and cracked. Remove from over and cool for 30 minutes. Lower oven temp. to 275 degrees. Cut the logs into 1/4-1/2 inch slices and lay them side-down on the baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour, or until dry. Cool on a rack. Eat with coffee, dunking liberally. (Images by: Katie Gustafson)

Hello everyone. I am new here and stumbled across this page whilst surfing the net for info on PC in men. I have been diagnosed with PC and being male it is extremely hard to find other men to talk to about this horrible disease. I have, hopefully, just finished chemo but still have a small cell mass in my abdomen and am awaiting an operation to see if the mass is just dead cells or not. If the tumour is not dead cells then I am going to have to get chemo infused straight into my abdominal cavity. Has anyone on here had any experience of that? I was really sick by the end of my chemo cycles so my oncologist does not want me to have anymore systemic chemo at the moment.
Thank you, Nate.
Sep 19, 2011 - 11:07 am
Hi: I'm not a man but do have secondary peritoneal cancer (from gallbladder cancer). Anyways, there have been several discussions on this procedure, called HIPEC (don't know what it stands for exactly but it is an intra-peritoneal heated chemotherapy technique whereby heated chemicals (likely the same ones or similar ones you had during regular IV chemotherapy)are injected into your abdominal cavity over several treatments. It is usually done after a debulking/destripping surgery. You can look at information on this treatment by typing it into your google (or whatever) browser. Dr Sugarbaker now at Washington Hospital developed it in Europe. There are some threads on this on this discussion board and also on the ovarian cancer and colon cancer discussion boards.
Sep 19, 2011 - 11:24 am
Hi Nate: Glad you found your way to our discussion board. I am not a man, sorry, but there are several men on this discussion board with the disease. You don't say whether your cancer is primary peritoneal cancer or secondary peritoneal cancer (i.e. metatasis from somewhere else like the colon or appendix or ...). Also, you had regular IV chemo - can I ask what the composition of the chemicals used was (e.g. oxaliplatin? irenotecan? 5FU? etc.) - must have been a good combo if it removed/reduced the cancerous nodules on the peritoneum. Also, did you have debulking or destripping (removal of the cancerous nodules on the peritoneum) prior to chemo? We've been discussion these treatments since we established this discussion board a few months ago. See my info on the HIPEC procedure above.
Sep 19, 2011 - 6:47 pm
I had mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix which had spread throughout the peritoneum. I had a belly port placed, and received IP chemo 3 days every other week (infusions were 2-4 hours each day.) I had FUDR.
It sounds horrible, but for most people, it is just uncomfortable - a bloated feeling. I was a rare one in that it caused a chemical peritonitis, and thus extreme pain. My chemo nurses at Memorial Sloan Kettering had never seen this reaction in anyone before, and they do lots of IP chemo there. Thus, they kept me on a dilaudid drip during the treatments. The 3 IP chemo beds on the 4th floor of the clinic (you have to lie down) were always full when I was there. I don't know about all the other floors, but I know other chemo suites had the beds as well, as at one point they were going to send me to a different floor.
Some people get heated IP chemo during surgery: HIPEC. Yes, there are men who have dealt with this. The question is where did your cancer originate? Also, did you have PMP (pseudomyxoma peritonei)?
Feb 26, 2013 - 10:21 am
Nate: I was wondering how you are doing with your fight against cancer?
Mar 02, 2013 - 12:34 am
Hi Nate...
We have had men post on this board because, although it is a rarer occurance, men do get PPC too and often that is overlooked. It's a lonely experience at the best of times and it's harder for those who are isolated which is why we wanted PPC distinct from Ovarian cancer. To answer your question, I wasn't offered intra abdominal chemo. I'm not sure why I wasn't but from what I understand, intra abdominal chemo is normally given during surgery. In a woman's case, the surgery is called debulking where the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries and omentum are taken away to reduce the disease. I was wondering whether you would have to have some kind of surgery too? Take good care ...
Mar 03, 2013 - 7:31 pm
My mom has PPC. She is coming up on her second year in April. She went 9 months without treatment which is actually wonderful. Just because PPC is treated the same as ovarian doesn't mean a man can't have ppc. My moms doc said there were no signs of ovarian cancer but it somehow originated there. When she goes to chemo they list her as ovarian. Can't remember but i think the the tissue is epethiliall and the cells are mulerian. So many darn terms. Either way, yes you are in the right spot. Mom had debulking surgery. Alot of the big research hospitals do the HIPEC. My mother had chemo and than debulking which removed the rest of her cancer,than more chemo. She's in treatment again since November. It's discouraging. The one cancer you can get and its rare and never really goes into that long of a remission if you can achieve remission at all. I guess she goes through good periods. Right now she is having depression. She just went through 6 months of chemo. It's overwhelming. Hopefully u have a good support system at home. If not, you can write on here and atleast get out ur frustrations or ask questions. Welcome.

My husband was very recently diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis as a result of cholangiocarcinoma mestasis. He underwent three rounds of chemo (with cisplatin and gemcitabine) and after doing body scans, we were told that the chemo took care of the cancer that was found in a cyst that was removed from his bile duct. My husband started having abdominal pains shortly thereafter and after a month they decided to test some fluid that was ac***ulating in his stomach. They found cancer. They want to do chemotherapy using capecitabine oxaliplatin and flofox(5FU oxaliplatin) to see if they would help him. Can anyone here shed some light as to what to expect from the upcoming chemo treatments?
Apr 09, 2014 - 1:33 pm
Hi Nate. I am a 52 yr old male with pain underneath my right rib cage, feels like skin ripping apart. Have had upper GI, CT and all looks okay. Was reading about PC online. What were your symptoms? How did they discover it? How are you doing?
Apr 10, 2014 - 12:23 pm
To Jim Bruce--I'm obviously not male, but my primary peritoneal cancer was diagnosed years after a total hysterectomy. For me, as I understand is the case with most PPC patients, the symptoms were vague: pain in different parts of the abdomen. The first move towards accurate diagnosis, after several false starts, was a CT scan. My PCP called while I was driving home from the CT scan & said, "Could be cancer; we're not sure." From that experience I deduce that if your CT scan was clear you might not have to worry. I'm certainly no expert, but I would say that if your symptoms are in the upper abdomen, that's not consistent with what I've learned are PPC symptoms.
Also, for women with PPC, a blood test for the cancer antigen 125 is a benchmark measure. I understand that at least for PPC recurrence, rising CA125 levels precede clinical symptoms. Not sure if this same principle applies for men. But most female PPC patients, and ovarian cancer patients too, keep a close watch on their CA125 results.
The long trip to my PPC diagnosis has taught me one thing, though: keep after the docs until you get your symptoms explained & diagnosed.

Greek Art in Context
An International Conference at the University of Edinburgh
7th-9th April 2014
We invite offers of papers and posters for the forthcoming conference, Greek Art in Context, to be held at the University of Edinburgh, 7th-9th April 2014. The deadline for electronic abstracts is FRIDAY 20TH DECEMBER 2013.
This two and a half-day conference will explore the broad notion of context in relation to Greek Art. Its aim is twofold: to address the problem of defining and determining context from a theoretical point of view and to explore how it affects the interpretation of the material culture of ancient Greece from the Dark Ages to the end of the Hellenistic period. What do we mean by context? In which ways and under what circumstances does context become relevant for the interpretation of Greek material culture? Which contexts should we look at – viewing context, political, social and religious discourse, artistic tradition…? What happens when there is no context?
We welcome proposals for papers of 30 minutes addressing questions relevant to the scope of the conference. There will be 8 three-paper sessions followed by Q&A. Topics for discussion may include, but are not limited to:
- Same iconographies, different meanings. Greek images abroad
- Interpreting old works through new lenses
- Reading objects in context
- Images and social realities
- Distribution, consumption and trade of Greek art.
- Contexts of use of Greek vases and how they affect our interpretation of the object and its images
- Interpreting monumental sculpture and non-portable objects
- Greek art in its modern contexts (museums, collections etc.)
KEYNOTE speakers: Prof. Carmen Sánchez (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) and Dr. Antonis Kotsonas (University of Edinburgh).
Abstracts of ca. 300 words are invited from scholars working in the fields of classical archaeology and history of art and with an interest in contextualization as an integral part of the study of ancient Greek art. The conference is open to advanced postgraduate students. Please send title and abstract of your proposed paper/poster to the conference organiser, Dr. Diana Rodríguez Pérez (email@example.com), by Friday, 20th December 2013. We will inform you by 15th of January if your abstract has been accepted. The language of the conference is English.
Posters related to the topics outlined above are also welcome. Instructions regarding the posters format will be provided at a later stage. Posters will be exhibited throughout the conference in the McMillan Room of the School of History, Classics and Archaeology. Authors will have a chance to give a short 5-minute presentation on their poster during the drinks receptions. Small prizes will be awarded to the best posters of the conference.
The conference fee is Ł50 standard rate and Ł35 for students. It includes coffee and tea on the 7th, 8th and 9th, sandwich lunch on the 7th and 8th, as well as the drinks receptions on the 7th and 8th. Delegates are expected to arrange their own travel and accommodation. They are also encouraged to apply for funding at their own institutions.
This conference is made possible through the generous support of School of History, Classics and Archaeology of the University of Edinburgh, and of the Institute of Classical Studies. Several student bursaries will be available thanks to a contribution from the Classical Association.

The Drug Enforcement Agency, along with the Potter County Sheriff's Office, the Amarillo Police Department and The Texas Department of Public Safety, arrested eight suspected methamphetamine traffickers Thursday morning. More than 100 law enforcement officers, beginning about 5 a.m., conducted simultaneous raids, including a raid at a motel in the 5400 block of Amarillo Boulevard, to serve federal arrest warrants on people suspected of distributing meth, the DEA said in a statement. A federal complaint filed Wednesday names 21 people arrested in connection with Thursday's raid, the result of a two-year investigation, according to the DEA.
