Herald on Sunday sport writer Michael Brown reviews 'The Best Of' after the end of the FIFA World Cup tournament group phase.
Messi stands just 1.69m tall but is a giant on a football pitch.
An excitable din bounces around each stadium every time he touches the ball. Fans don't know what he's going to do, his team-mates don't know what he's going to do and, crucially, opposition players have no idea what he's going to do. They might guess, but it doesn't mean they can stop him.
Messi plays like he has a magnet in his boot. He makes the most difficult look easy and the only surprise in the first round of matches is that he hasn't scored yet. He's come close, hitting the post, but it hasn't mattered because Argentina have still scored seven goals in three games and comfortably progressed to the second round.
In the past he hasn't always shone in an Argentinian shirt in the way he has for Barcelona but he's on track to do it at this World Cup. If he can, La Albiceleste could well add a third world title and Messi will take his place alongside Diego Maradona in the affections of a nation.
Honourable mention: Xabi Alonso (Spain), Wesley Sneijder (the Netherlands).
It hasn't been a great tournament for the stars. Fernando Torres looks like he should be playing for Livingstone, not Liverpool; Fabio Cannavaro was made to look as old as his 36 years by New Zealand striker Chris Wood; and Cristiano Ronaldo is more worried about the vuvuzelas than victory. Wayne Rooney, though, tops the list of underachievers.
In reality, a lot of England's players would be among a first team of flops - Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard et al - but Rooney is the one truly world-class player in Fabio Capello's squad. He banged in goals for fun for Manchester United last season but it hasn't been much fun in South Africa so far. He hasn't scored for England in 11 hours of action, berated their fans for booing and was subbed after 72 minutes against Slovenia.
Nike are running a Write the Future advertisement featuring Rooney. (See bottom of this article.) One part shows him as a ginger-bearded vagrant living in a caravan and eating baked beans because he failed to shine. The other shows him being knighted after a glorious victory. So far, the former storyline is winning out.
The All Whites wouldn't have achieved what they did without Nelsen. Not even close. They have become the fairytale story of this World Cup and Nelsen is the handsome prince. That's why he gets the nod here ahead of someone like Messi. The Argentinian is crucial to their hopes of lifting the World Cup but they have other great players who can carry the side. Nelsen is the All Whites.
The skipper's contribution has been widely recognised and he has been included on various Team of the Week lists. Respected website goal.com even named him their Player of the Week while All Whites coach Ricki Herbert even suggested he hadn't seen a better centre back at this tournament.
Nelsen has had a great professional career. You just wonder what it might have looked like if he had played for a truly great side, like one of the top four English Premiership outfits. He's shown at this World Cup he is good enough to do that.
If it had been anyone other than a Brazilian, you might have said Maicon was trying to cross the ball in the game against North Korea. Instead, he audaciously slashed the ball from an acute angle near the byline with the outside of his right boot and curled it in between the goalkeeper and upright. He didn't have any room to spare. It wasn't as if Brazil were cruising at this stage and they won the game by only 2-1. This was football samba style. Long may it continue.
Honourable mentions: Spain's David Villa's goal against Honduras, Slovenia's Valter Birsa's long-range strike against the US.
This was a chance you would expect Billy from the Takapuna under- 9s to tuck away. A perfect ball was rolled in from the left that beat both the goalkeeper and South Korean defender. It landed on Yakubu's foot and, somehow, he stabbed it wide. He was just three yards from goal. In the middle of the goal. Incredible.
Nigeria would have been heading to Port Elizabeth for a second round match with Uruguay if they had scored one more goal and beaten South Korea. Instead, they are heading home.
"He said he was confident it was a goal," veteran team-mate Nwankwo Kanu said afterwards. "He did not believe he could miss from that kind of position." The whole world didn't think he could miss from that position, either.
There have been some fine refereeing performances at this World Cup and, on the whole, the whistleblowers have done a good job. But there have been a couple of notable exceptions. Sadly, one of those came in New Zealand's 1-1 draw with Italy. Carlos Batres had, according to Ryan Nelsen, "stars in his eyes" as he happily awarded Italy a free kick any time they wanted one. The biggest decision was the controversial first half penalty when that hard man of the Azzurri, Daniele Di Rossi, showed his softer side. It was a dreadful call and cost New Zealand any chance of claiming all three points.
Batres has been matched only by Mali's Koman Coulibaly, who saw things no one else did during Slovania's dramatic 2-2 draw with the US. Some of his decisions were puzzling, others just plain wrong, and his decision to disallow a late American goal cost them the game.
As comfortably as Argentina and the Netherlands qualified for the second round, you still wonder whether those teams can hold it all together. Neither have been tested by a good, well-organised side and both give the impression they could implode at any time. Argentina have the Maradona factor and a suspect defence, the Netherlands have their own egos to contend with.
Spain are bursting with talent and Germany are Germany but Brazil have the experience and personnel to go all the way. They have a tricky draw, with Chile in the second round before a possible quarter-final against the Dutch. It would mean doing it the hard way but they've done that five times before.
Karma is an incredible thing. France qualified for the World Cup only after the 'Hand of Frog' incident involving Thierry Henry got them through over the Republic of Ireland. They have turned into the disgrace of this tournament. Even coach Raymond Domenech, who has a predilection for astrological charts, couldn't have foreseen what would unfold in South Africa.
Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised. No one in France believed in Domenech so why would a collection of 23 overpaid, over-hyped footballers? Regardless, their disdain for their coach as unforgivable and their boycotting of training after Nicloas Anelka was sent home was childish.
France lacked class to the end, with Domenech refusing to shake South African coach Carlos Alberto Parreira's and after Bafana Bafana's 2-1 win. The French Football Federation helped restore some of it by booking their players on cattle class for the 12-hour flight home. Many French supporters probably hoped some had to sit next to that slobbering fat bloke who sleeps on your shoulder.

Consumers Show Fresh Caution
Retail Sales Falter as Shoppers, Resilient Earlier in the Year, Retrench Amid Economic Worries
Americans in recent weeks have cut spending on everything from dining out to electronics to cars, suggesting a renewed skepticism in the economy after a resilient start to the year.
The question now: Is the consumer pullback a stutter or something more serious?
Cash-register sales in March fell by 0.4%, with weakness evident in many discretionary categories, the government said Friday in its monthly retail report. And the...

How does the panel work?
There is no set procedure for Panels. Generally, it is up to the leading sponsor State to coordinate the identification of panelists and the general concept note of the meeting. A panel consists of a 3 hour formal UN debate – usually introduced by 4-5 experts in the field and high level personalities. States and some NGOs respond to that with their political statements. At the end the Panel reports to the Council, hopefully with some recommended actions. This might happen at the 19th session of the HRC in March 2012.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Everything fine :) Really nice staff, always helpful and friendly!
very beautiful place with a nice pool, friendly staff and delicious food.
The Vacation at Balangan Beach was very nice, we had a nice bungalow with pool and breakfast include. The Beach is very beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Nice location (beautiful Jimbaran beach, close to places of interest in the South of the island and not too far from Kuta and Seminyak). Better to have a scooter.
Alex pays close attention to his guests. Very convenient.
Casual breakfast. Clean room. Wifi ok.
Thanks Bali.
What a wonderful accomodation! A little piece of paradise in Bali. I stayed for 3 nights and it was a perfect start of our holiday in Bali. Great food is beeing served in the restaurant and it's really cheap as well. The staff is very friendly.
It has a nice pool with comfortable sunbeds and the cabin is very romantic and comfortable. I stayed in Bali for 2 weeks and stayed in 5 different hotels in which Flower Bud was my definite number 1! I would definitley go back!
Assistance with Putu (Rudy said) really flawless with good tips, a nice little bungalow with air conditioning and hot water (the value for money is indisputable) in a garden in the heart of a Balinese family ... all the ingredients for Start your discovery of this island. It should also prefer this slightly remote place from the bustle of Legian or Kuta. Small restaurant 150 m left at Andy recommended for its simplicity, its prices and its welcome. I will end by congratulating Esther is in its discretion efficiency, although cats have been right in my little lunch leave on the kitchen table;)
Une assistance avec Putu (dit Rudy) vraiment sans faille avec les bons tuyaux, un joli petit bungalow avec clim et eau chaude (le rapport qualité prix est incontestable) dans un jardin au coeur d'une famille Balinaise...tous les ingrédients pour bien démarrer la découverte de cette île. Il faut d'ailleurs préférer cet endroit un peu reculé de la cohue de Legian ou Kuta. Petit restau à gauche à 150 m chez Andy à recommander pour sa simplicité, ses prix et son accueil. Je terminerai par féliciter Esther qui est dans sa grande discrétion l'efficacité, même si les chats auront eu raison de mes petits déjeuner laisser sur la table de la cuisine ;)
Amazing very happy! Thank you so much

text: The strategy is to fix the OL, and secondary first then work on the d-line. I believe we need another guard and a center. Getting this offense scoring 30+ points a game and keeping Romo healthy is priority #1. Next is to fix the secondary and although im hopeful i'm not sold on Brodney Pool. These two things alone have us competing for a SB. We also need a bigger body in the middle at NT as well. Im not opposed to taking Ta'mu in RD2 and G Brooks in the 4-5 if he grades out well or if they think Nate Livings is our man. We look at the strong side DE/OLB in the later rounds. #14) Cordy Glenn G/T Georgia 6'5" 345 Romo needs to stay healthy and we need to slow down the Giants pass rush. If Decastro is there we take him but I think he is gone by 11. Cordy Glenn has elite size, a massive man with an 85'' wingspan and good speed. Glenn is a dominating run blocker, had some issues at LT against the elite pass rushers pass but can play G/RT. Glenn will be a wrecking machine on the inside. Cordy can also backup Free, In fact he may take Doug's position at RT if Free does not man up this year. Buffalo is looking at Glenn at 10 and ARZ loves Decastro at 11. If that's the case weshould go Safety or CB. Alternates: Mark Barron, StephonGilmore #45) Kevin Zeitler G/C, Wisconsin 6'5 315. Plays guard or moves to center and starts day 1. Zeitler is a very smart lineman who can play the zone blocking scheme and rarely makes a mistake. He doesn't have a lot of upside because he plays like an pro now and is a very low risk pick. His combine workouts have been good and better than Konz. Recently he has been working with the centers. Alternate Picks: Harrison Smith S NotreDame, Alameda Ta'amu NT Wash #81) Markelle Martin S, Oklahoma State 6'1", 210. The best coverage safety in the draft. Big Hitter, smart, plays with passion and a great leader. Can play FS (a true ball hawking centerfielder) and SS in the box. He breaks a lot of passes up but rarely intercepts , none the less he's a great value if we can land him in the third round.. Alternate picks Trumaine Johnson CB/FS , Montana, Kelechi Osemele OG Iowa state 113) Josh Norman CB, Coastal Carolina 6'2 195 Very athletic corner with flexible hips. Has great size and soft hands for the int's. He has upside to fill out his frame. Excelled against the bigger competition at the east-west shrine game. Alternate Brandon Brooks G, Miami OH #133) Brandon Lindsey OLB, Pitt 6'2 260 Above average athlete who is explosive off the edge. A pass rushing specimen who has upside to fill out his frame. He plays extremely fast and with good coaching can improve his skill set and challenge Spencer for a job. Alternate pick: ILB Vontaze Burfict ( yes I would like to see him hit MichaelVick). #152) David Molk C, Michigan 6'2 300 Attempted to break the all-time benchpress record at the combine . He fell short but still came in first with 44 reps, Molk is a short armed but very strong and athletic center. He has a lightning quick first step and uses leverage and balance to outmaneuver the big guys, he's ideal for a zone blocking scheme. He's a natural puller instead of a mauler and might need the help of Cordy Glenn to put Wilfork on his as* in the Super Bowl. Can be a starter in Garrett's offense. Alternate: Mike Brewster C, Ohio State [/i] #186) Damon Harrison NT, William Penn 6'2", 350 big girthy nose with a "nose" for the football. Led William Penn in tackles and tackles for a loss in 2012. Can develop as a bull rusher, good snap awareness and can simply man handle opponents on contact. From a small school with high upside, for a NT he's the best late round "Football Player" on the board beating out Baptiste, Kitchen and Fangupo. Alternate: Fangupo NT 222) George Bryan TE, NC State, 6'5, 267. Tall Thick tight end who is agood run blocker, stays low off the snap and explodes out of his stance. Good hands and can run the seam with a 4.8 40 time.. Alternate Kyle Fiedorowicz, NCC'

Derrick Gervin (1985)
UTSA honors Derrick Gervin at 3 p.m., Friday
By Brad Parrott
Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs
(Feb. 28, 2006)--There are two basketball players named Gervin who have left their mark on the San Antonio basketball community. One is George, the Hall of Fame "Iceman" from the San Antonio Spurs. The other is little brother Derrick, the second leading scorer in the history of UTSA men's basketball.
UTSA will recognize Derrick Gervin at 3 p.m., Friday during halftime of the Southland Conference men's basketball game with Northwestern State. At the game, Gervin's jersey will be retired. Friday's game will determine whether or not UTSA goes to the Southland Conference finals.

UTSA President Ricardo Romo has declared Friday as Blue and Orange Day in honor of Gervin. The UTSA community and friends are encouraged to wear their UTSA colors Friday.
Faculty and staff will be admitted free to the game with a UTSACard. With supervisor approval, faculty and staff members will be allowed to use vacation or compensatory time to attend the game.
Gervin will join Devin Brown as the only UTSA basketball players to have their jerseys retired. Brown, the former Spur now with the Utah Jazz, broke Gervin's all-time Roadrunner scoring record in 2002.
In only three seasons with the Roadrunners, Gervin scored 1,691 points, averaging 21.1 points per game--tops in UTSA history. In his final season (1984-85) before declaring himself eligible for the NBA draft, Gervin averaged 25.6 points per game--tops in UTSA history.
The Detroit native spent two seasons in the NBA--1985 with the Philadelphia 76ers and 1999 with the New Jersey Nets. In between he spent more than 10 seasons playing professional basketball overseas. Gervin and his wife Victoria currently make their home in San Antonio where he works with youth groups.
For ticket information regarding Friday afternoon's UTSA vs. Northwestern State game, call the UTSA Ticket Office at (210) 458-8872. Two Class 5A University Interscholastic League regional semi-final games will follow at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Individual UIL game tickets are available at the UTSA Ticket Office the day of the game only.

Talent Acquisition Hosts University Career Services Professional in New York
Aug 8, 2012
Last week AOL welcomed the opportunity to host 35 members of the Eastern Association of Colleges and Employers (EACE) in our New York office for career service personnel to learn more about our recruiting process and internship programs.
The afternoon kicked off with an overview of AOL, presented by former MBA intern and current Director of Business Development, David Burrick. David explained how we make money, and provided an overview of our business strategy, focusing on our in brands and advertising growth.
The group then heard from a diverse panel of 6 interns and 2 interns turned employees who offered insight into how they landed their internships and what made their AOL experiences unique. HuffPost College's Alyssa Creamer emphasized the importance of relationship building while in school; she snagged her current internship by keeping in touch with her boss, Will McGuinness, who she met working on the UMass school newspaper. Former intern, Trista Myers explained that her previous experience wearing many hats working at a small startup prepared her for her internship with Corporate Events last year.
All of the students were particularly passionate about their experience as an intern and made a strong point in differentiating the AOL experience from those at other organizations. HuffPost Live's Front End developer intern, Steven Greenberg, described how feedback he gave on his very first day was immediately incorporated into the site design. The On Network's Marketing Coordinator and former intern Alyssa Marino spoke about the tremendous experience working on a re-brand, and how her internship at AOL was the first job where she wasn't counting down the minutes until 5:00pm.
The day wrapped up with a second interactive panel, featuring campus recruiters, full time recruiters and a few current intern managers. Our aim was to educate the audience about what we look for in a resume and what it takes to succeed in an AOL internship. Campus Recruiter Caitlin Geraghty explained that at The Huffington Post, we look for interns who are active in journalism and media, "obsessed with consuming content," and have had previous related internship experience.
Recruiter Laudine Vallarta explained how our Patch business, looks especially for those who were athletes in college, as their competitive nature and experience transition well to the sales environment.

Town Square
Good times at Day of the Horse
Original post made by Andrea Gemmet, Almanac staff writer, on Oct 16, 2006
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the Almanac's booth to chat with Tom Gibboney and me.
From the vantage point of our booth, Barbie, a butterscotch-colored pony that patiently let scores of little ones perch on her back for photos, looked to be a big success. Blue Horse Saddlery's paint-a-model pony activity did brisk business, and the "T-Rex Thunderlizard Wild West Revue" puppet show held audiences enthralled at all three shows. It was nice to see that an old-fashioned puppet show can still thrill this generation of tech-savvy kids.
Woodside Elementary School's volunteer Monette Clemons was tireless in her pooper-scooper duties (you can see her taking a well-deserved break in the Wells Fargo stagecoach in a Page 3 photo in this week's print edition of the Almanac). While we didn't make it to the staging area of the progressive trail ride, Councilwoman Carroll Ann Hodges judged it a resounding success.
Maggie Constantino and her son Benjamin deserve a mention for tirelessly and cheerfully staying late at their leather-crafting station, helping little kids and their parents pound designs into keychains.
The Community Museum's exhibit on Woodside's incorporation 50 years ago is beautifully displayed and worth a visit for its nostalgic look back at the soon-to-be town circa 1956. The museum, located in the restored Mathisen farmhous between Independence Hall and the Village Pub, is open Saturdays, 1-4 p.m., until November 18.
And to everyone who wondered, yes, that is Devon McNaughton in her "Oklahoma!" costume pictured on the cover of the new InfoMenlo, our annual guide to local schools, events, government officials and just about everything else.

WHOA!, the Woodside-area Horse Owners Association, non-profit organizer of Woodside Day of the Horse, extends a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the volunteers and sponsors who made this event successful. We estimate that about 1000 people are part of the activities in some way, each one contributing to a fun and safe day. Early reports on the fundraising aspects of the 2006 event suggest that a nice gift will be offered to the Folger Estate Stable Project from this Woodside community effort and the donations from our generous trail riders from all over the SF Bay area.

Excerpt: "If there is any downside to winning two Super Bowls in a five-year span, it's the price for success. Keeping the team together and continuity are more valued and as a result, players get rewarded for being part of the fun.
Given the money the Giants had to distribute, they are not in terrible shape when it comes to gearing up for the 2013 season, but at the moment, they are $4.7 million over the projected salary cap, according to ESPN. It means the Giants have plenty of work to do in the coming months, especially because they have 22 of their own free agents to consider.
It is going to cost to secure Victor Cruz, who probably is looking for a contract that will pay him in the high-rent neighborhood of $10 million per season. There's also got to be money set aside to re-sign their left tackle, Will Beatty, who is coming off a solid season at a position where young talent gets big bucks.
The Giants also will consider their other free agents which include guard Kevin Boothe, tight end Martellus Bennett, safety Stevie Brown and kicker Lawrence Tynes.There's little doubt a few contracts are going to have to be adjusted and it will not be surprising if a pricey veteran or two gets cut."

Give it up, Hollywoodlife. Everything you've written about Kristen and Rob has proven to be lies. You and all the other sites don't really know what's going on so you make up lies. That's where the unnamed sources, insiders and people close to them come in. The only problem is none of these sources exist. Anybody that was really close to them wouldn't be talking to tabs or gossip sites.

Unfortunately from what I've read recently, it seems like they already have reconciled. I just don't see this relationship lasting. She always stated that she would get him back. I just think he's so into her and that he could eventually get his heart broken again. She seems to be the aggressive one and maybe some guys like that.
She didn't seem to have a problem with her "momentary indiscretion" which tells me she likes to take risks, even if it means hurting the one you love which she did. She's very immature and I just don't see her long term with Rob. He deserves a more mature woman. In the end, they will do what they want.

There heads are down and miserable all the time. It would be easy for him to find someone who understands his life–someone not in the business even could as they could be with him all the time and not off on movie sets getting close to others. He's scared to let go and that s not a good making for a great relationship

I don't know if Rob and Kris will reconcile, its a hard decision more for Rob than for Kris. So I think that she paid for all as she did, and that she deserve a second chance. But it not easy for Robert, he would be humiliated for what she did to him. I think that before they arrive that step, both need to talk about what happened, and the must important for what she did and why. He need to take out the outrage that he have into himself. Both need a time to think and to cure their wounds. Then start again like friends and if the relationship will be functional, then both gonna be able to take the decision to reconcile or not. But its their decision, not our. Both their focus on themselves. The path is so long but not impossible and if they are in deeply love each other till non of them will not live with each other, then the conclusion is that they will be together again, and their fans are waiting that both will come back together as soon as possible……

why are you people even commenting on this ?? really didn't you noticed all these blurbs are coming from one source .. Splash news all they do is create drama out of nothing . They get a picture and they put their own caption on it . What is even more ridiculous is the fact that there are writing specific private things which are not what's going on . they don't know rob or kristen at all and no one from either camp would ever talk to them .my question is WHY ?? Why do you waste your time believing all this rubbish !!!!!

U KNOW these extreme Twilight obsessions were PREVENTABLE, and SO many Twilight Fans are STILL in emotional turmoil because of this Robsten breakup PR stunt. Hollywood intentionally causing young, obsessed fans this kind of pain is wrong. TIME to start thinking about putting blame where it belongs – Stephenie Meyer. Search "explain twilight breaking dawn ending blogspot".
Posted at 11:14 AM on September 16, 2012
Stephanie Meyer had nothing to do with any of this. The Twilight books and movies have brought countless pleasure to people all over the world. What the movie stars do in their personal lives has no bearing on that. Don't call the break-up a puiblicity stunt, please. There are small children involved and I don't think Hollywood would stoop that low, surely? The love story of Bella and Edward was made all the more meaningful to the fans because of the real life romance between the players, but even without it, the movies would still be box office hits.

Rural communication: Is there still a need for telecentres now that there are mobile phones?
By LC and Ian Howard for APCNews
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, 27 October 2008
Following the initial rush of Information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) projects in rural Africa, many did not yield the anticipated outcomes, and interest has been dying down. People then began talking about "sustainable ICT" projects, in which it was understood that projects would become self-sufficient after their initial donor-led investment and set-up period. But with the use of mobile phones gaining in popularity, popular rhetoric has begun to question the need of ICTs beyond the mobile phone. While mobile phones certainly have had a great impact in rural areas, a new study by Ian Howard commissioned by APC, through the analysis of two case studies, he argues that the need for telecentres and affordable internet connections exists, as such centres cater to rural and niche markets the way larger companies cannot.
What is sustainable ICT?
Beginning in the late 1990s, the use of ICTs in international development work expanded greatly. In part this expansion was due to the increased availability and affordability of ICT equipment, the simplification of use and support of equipment, improved access to electricity, more affordable internet and the growing use of ICTs by donors and NGOs themselves. A number of studies by the World Bank and other organisations also affirmed the importance of access to information for improved health and social well-being, and the role of communications in economic development. By 2004 almost all donors and NGOs were involved in some sort of ICT4D initiative.
Unfortunately, this interest has since subsided because too many projects were ill executed for various reasons: limited local buy-in, flawed economic models, inadequate training, and/or the use of inappropriate equipment. From the donor perspective, the most important failure of ICT4D initiatives was the inability of these centres to persist without the continued intervention and financial support of donor organisations. In other words, they were unsustainable.
In terms of ICT for rural development, the term sustainability as used by the international development sector, is most often described as the ability to maintain implementation beyond the intervention period. It is measured principally by the ability to remain economically viable, while delivering a social benefit; therefore, an ideal sustainable ICT initiative requires short-term incubation, but is then able to maintain its operations by local parties.
Unfortunately, such short-term interventions are not well suited for ICT-based initiatives that require continued operational support, both in terms of technical advice and funds. Consequently, as the many ICT4D projects have reached the end of their funding, earlier presumptions that local communities would take over ownership and responsibility of the initiatives have proved to be wrong. There are numerous telecentres and rural "micro-telcos" that no longer exist, or that only provide a fraction of the services they once did
Internet vs. mobile phones: Are rural ICTs sustainable?
While many rural ICT4D initiatives have not yielded the anticipated outcomes, the mobile phone on the other hand, has been circling above as a beacon of success, particularly on the African continent. Many places that lack telecom infrastructure, such as rural areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, now have thriving mobile phone networks. This success has come as a result of changes in policy and new adaptive technologies.
Popular rhetoric now suggests that there is no need for rural ICT efforts beyond mobile phones. As many rural internet projects have failed and mobile phone networks continue to flourish, many donors have abandoned their efforts in rural ICT4D, leaving the development of ICTs largely to mobile phone carriers. While there is some merit to this decision, it is somewhat naive. The failures of rural ICT4D projects were, as noted above, not because they lacked utility, but rather because they were poorly designed and implemented. It can therefore be argued that there is still a need for rural ICT development beyond mobile phones, but that the challenge is in making such development self-perpetuating.
While mobile phones can have a great impact on the lives of rural people in least developed countries (LDCs) especially grassroots ICT initiatives can fill the void that large mobile phone companies cannot. These new mobile-phone infrastructures are largely poised as oligopolies, protected from the threat of new entrants by high licensing fees and reserved frequency allotments. While they serve a large segment of the population and provide a great basis for ICTs, they are highly centralised and hierarchical and thus unlikely likely to serve smaller segments, remote areas or non-mainstream interests; nor can they provide specific local and rural solutions. This gap therefore opens up a multitude of opportunities in ICT4D, particularly in smaller rural markets.
Although mobile phones provide an effective tool for basic communication and information exchange, the need for grassroots ICT development remains. Mobile phone solutions are top-down, in comparison to bottom up internet ICTs, which can effectively serve smaller and niche markets. Thus, the need for continued intervention in ICT4D is perhaps even stronger than before. However, the question remains: Are rural ICT initiatives sustainable?
Is there still a need for wireless?
In many ways, wireless networks were hoped to be the disruptive innovation that would unseat incumbents. This has not happened to the degree that was hoped, but in countries where wireless bands are permitted, they have driven demand and have persuaded incumbents to respond.
As internet-capable phones increasingly become mainstream, so will the demand for phone-based internet access and other internet appliances. This will be slow to develop in these smaller markets, particularly where incumbents have little incentive to provide these less lucrative services. Thus, the development of autonomous infrastructure is still required in order to meet the needs of rural communities. Moreover, there must also be the development of networks that tie together data and information that is local, regional and national. This will assure greater, cheaper and easier access to information and data that is most important to people in these areas. For this data and information to be available, however, it must be generated – hence the importance of telecentres.
The role of NGOs and donors, from a free-market perspective, is to intervene where there are market failures. As the development of this more local information and data is likely to be largely non-commercial, it will require support in order to avoid falling victim to market failures.
In his report "Observations on sustaining rural connectivity initiatives in lesser developed markets" Ian Howard examines the case of two rural communities in Tanzania that exemplify sustainable ICT and justify the need for wireless connectivity in these remote areas. The report provides insight into how to build more sustainable rural ICT and gather observations and recommendations for implementers and donors.

Re: Stephane's comments - social mobile etc.
Thank you for your comments. Your view is shared widely, by me too. In the report I note that mobile phones are the most significant development to rural communication and information access. Moreover, to your point that much more can be done to leverage such networks, I also agree but I would add that without wireless and other locally controlled infrastructures (or at least the ability to create them) that even such innovations in the use of mobile phones can be thwarted by a hegemony by GSM providers. This certainly has been the case in markets where there are tight controls on telecoms — in many cases wireless/wimax and other technologies have stirred the incumbent operators into action. Thus, these local networks can grow and fill-in niches forgotten by the incumbent providers and in doing so create competitive pressures, or at least they can provide alternatives that are better suited to non main stream interests.
By the way, I have been involved in helping to develop a simple use of SMS for monitoring and evaluation of bug net distributions in Tanzania (using a simple code book to provide the data), as well as a number of other market information system projects. I am a huge fan of this, but I also still see an important need to have other media for communications than the mobile phone alone, as the economist and others, with the push of lobby groups keep promoting.
mobile phones for grassroot/ngo
Dear Mr Howard,
thanks for your great article, this is a very intereting discussion.
I would like to bring another view in the debate.
I agree with many of your points, particularly the view on the inability of top-down approaches to deliver services towards specific communities, or to meet specific needs. In that regard, it is clear that operators or generaly providers of development-oriented services at a global level (country or region wide) are not a sufficient answer to improve people 's lives. The role of local ngo/grassroot or even local entrepreneur is essential.
That said, the difference between local and global actors is orthogonal to the mobile phones/telecenters dimension.
The availability of mobile phone networks is a great opportunity for ngo/grass-root organziations to provide services toward their communities, without having to deal with the infrastructure. For now this potential is under-exploited, and most of development-oriented services on mobile phones are provided by operators, and now handset manufacturers. However, there are also a growing number of NGOs that are starting to develop their own mobile applications (most of the time SMS applications) in a completly decentralized model, without the need to deal with operators. This is a way to allow very small ngo to develop and deploy services in very small/remote/poor communities without the need to setup a telecenter, which is always a challenge, and requires a coordinated actions with different players.
As part of an EU FP7 project called Digital World Forum on Accessible and Inclusive ICT (http://www.digitalworldforum.eu), the World Wide Web consortium (W3C) has launched a new initiative in May 2008, to explore this direction about empowering and enabling ngo/grassroot to use the power of mobile networks/phones to deliver development-oriented services. This initiative is called Mobile Web for Social Development.

The executive summary of the workshop we organized in june on the role of mobile technologies in fostering Social Development:
Stephane Boyera (email@example.com)
Some comments that I made in email correspondence on this topic:
"Generally I think that the telecentre as a commercial provider of ICT services is a weak model — the telecentre as an incubator, I believe is a much more beneficial model — though this requires that the ICT services are only a small part of a greater effort and that there is a longer commitment to support the incubator. This also requires that a community has some kind of economic potential that could be improved. Some communities are really quite destitute, but around Sikasso, there is much economic potential. Connecting a telecentre with farmers could be a very good idea, if the economic drivers are there. For cotton growers in Mali they have no influence on the prices, or in any part of the value chain so more info doesn't assist them economically (I believe), but for Karite/Shea it would.
The other model, a rural wireless network, can work if tied in to strong anchor clients and if it is built in a very economical way, with local talent who is able to support it. Usually it is technical failures that lead to the demise of such networks. Again in this model too, the telecentre is not just internet access alone, for Sekiku in Tanzania he is able to provide consulting because he is connected. This model is completely dependent on finding the Joseph Sekikus out there, that is very difficult and thus it is best if we support them once we find them, or when they find you.
Rural telecentres are a great development tool, but a commercial model for them is rarely appropriate — they must be subsidized so that they can incubate activities in their pre-commercial stages or that support non-commercial but community value creating activities. The failure of most projects has been to try to impose a commercial model. In Vanga, Congo, their telecentre is supported by the hospital, as a means to keep their doctors happy (a human resources tool). In Karagwe, Tanzania, it is a service that supports a consulting and agricultural services business. In Segerama it serves to support government and school administration." Thus access to the internet cannot be the purpose of a telecentre, but rather part of the plumbing in a model that supports other activities.

Along our journey to Prague, we stopped at Telc. The city center of Telc has been preserved and looks much like it did during the Middle Ages. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992. It was Sunday and therefore less busy than it normally is, but it was neat. Several vendors selling trinkets and Chinese made knock off goods and a great street band. I was able to hit an ATM and get some Czech currency, as my euros weren't accepted everywhere. I would have liked to have stayed longer than the hour we were allotted. I didn't really leave the square, but I got a taste of the place. Back on the bus and on towards Prague!

I've been hooked on Star Wars for nearly as long as anyone could have been, and on science fiction movies in general since I was very young. It's been incredibly gratifying to me as a parent to see both of my kids embrace many of my geeky interests, and doubly so in the case of Star Wars– three Halloweens ago, without any prompting, they decided to go as Darth Vader and Princess Leia, and the geek-fatherly pride I felt nearly made me tear up. So you can imagine how I felt when I received an invitation to visit Skywalker Ranch and Lucasfilm's headquarters on a junket for the upcoming release of The Phantom Menace in 3D, and to bring one of my kids with me. The fact that it was the weekend of my son's 11th birthday made it all the sweeter.
My son and I arrived in San Francisco on Friday night, January 27, to find an Ultimate FX lightsaber on the hotel room bed with a note on it instructing us to bring it with us the next day to the ranch. It was late — particularly for us, as we'd flown in from the East Coast — but of course we had to take the lightsaber out of its package and make sure it worked. You know, just in case it was defective.
The next day we were taken, along with a group of other blogger parents and kids including Andrea Schwalm of GeekMom and her son, to Skywalker Ranch. It was a beautiful day, and the view approaching and crossing the Golden Gate Bridge was breathtaking. But you can see San Francisco Bay any day, so the coolness of seeing Alcatraz was quickly eclipsed in our minds by the knowledge that we would soon be going where (relatively) few geeks have gone before.

Same issue on T410s Win7 64-bit with same driver. Anyone out there at Lenovo support ever considering to solve this problem or to get in touch with Intel? If one cannot even work properly with one of the most common business software products such as MS Office, I would suggest to change the advertisement strategy of these notebooks. They are certainly not fit for business use.
Just got in touch with Lenovo support. The answer given was that they deem this forum completely irrelevant and are not willing to even consider the problems discussed here. The lady said that this were an MS Office problem (!!!) and that Lenovo will not react to this symptom. So much for professional support - she could at least have faked interest.
07-28-2010 09:05 AM - edited 07-28-2010 02:54 PM
This is absolutely unacceptable. If it is solely a Microsoft Office issue and not a Lenovo packaged Intel driver issue, Lenovo needs to get in contact with Microsoft and get it fixed for us users.
We may not see it based on the number of posts to this thread, but this issue has to be affecting the majority of users out there with MS Office (2007, 2010, and maybe ealier) and the integrated Intel HD Graphics.
The issue isn't that the selection changes colors; it is the fact that you can't tell what all is being selecting. It makes the simple task of selecting text into a choir that takes more time and focus than it should.
any resolution to the issue besides changing baack to the intel drivers? i really don't want to because for some reason the brightness settings are weird when i install the intel drivers. for example, whenever i set a brightness level in power maanger, the brightness setting returns to original setting wheenver i restart.

The old intel hd drivers available from Lenovo not only cause text selection corruption but also short freeze (1-3 s) during hovering over live preview tabs in win7
yes that's what's been happening to me except i have an x201. i switched to the intel one and everything is fine but for some reason power manager won't remember my brightness setting after a restart. the lenovo driver does remember that.
So what can we do to get this problem fixed since Lenovo won't be helping us? I will try submitting this to Microsoft's Office support to see if I can get anywhere with it.
I think this newest graphics driver fixed the selection issue. I might be jumping the gun on this, but I can't reproduce the selection issues immediately after upgrading drivers. Can anyone else verify if this does or does not fix the issue for them?
Driver: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen
Version: 22.214.171.1244
Release Date: 2010/08/06
Yes, the updated driver remove text selection issue and freezing of taskbar preview thumbnails.
Congrats and thanks to Lenovo
No more issues with intel hd detected (so far) apart from lack of hardware acceleration in Autocad 2010 (but it's not firegl class card).
i also noticed something else. when i lower my brightness to 0 and than raise to 1, the screen sometime dims and than fades to 1. does this happen to everyone. it doesnt happen everytime so it might take a few tries. it does happen on my x201 but maybe you guys can give it a try on the t series laptops

The issue is that so many people are requesting PMs for links publicly which could lead to problems for DenDen because it's an open forum, anyone can see what we post.
If all contact is done via PM, that's not viewable to public (obviously). All people have to do is ask for a link via PM, not publicly on the board - the sharing doesn't change, we're just protecting DenDen better by keeping it (entirely) private. Right now this is one of the only Spice communities where can share and discuss and if it goes under because we broke the rules then it'll be that much harder to share stuff and we all lose out, especially those who are having issues getting a MM account.
This. I though people got "smarter" and PM-ed someone instead of going public saying "PM me the links" not even a little sublte how some people where in the past.

Full Year 2012 - Let's Move!
Celebrating 40 Years of Title IX: Getting Girls & Women in the Game!
By: Billie Jean King, Council Member, PCFSN
When I was growing up in Long Beach, California in the 1940s and '50s, it never occurred to me that I would not be treated equal to my brother, Randy Moffitt, and would not have the same opportunities as boys to succeed. When I was 12 years old, I promised myself that I would commit my life to fighting for equal rights and opportunities for men and women, boys and girls.

Developing a usable and consumable test-metric-reporting system is a challenge for all testing organizations. This article describes a system employable by small and large organizations and all test efforts. By using existing tools, test teams can show current progress and predict future test efforts.
Getting Started
Test professionals know that metrics are an important project deliverable. Developing a system to create, track, and report test results is a different story. The "whys" of test metrics have been covered before, so I'll instead show you how to produce the data to address those "whys." The data includes:
- Quantifying the test team's contribution to the project
- Showing a project's testing progress (Pass %)
- Developing product quality measures (Executed/Pass or Fail)
- Gathering historical data to predict future progress
There are, of course, limitations to any measurement system:
- For large projects, it is difficult to execute every test for every new iteration.
- Test quality will affect measurement quality.
- Varying levels of specificity may create false positives or negatives.
- Limitations of the test tools (measurement devices) can affect the accuracy of metrics.
You don't have to spend a lot of money to start a test metrics program; a spreadsheet-based system will do. There are benefits to commercial test management tools that should drive your decision. Even so, many of these tools use industry-standard databases that you can read from directly to create reports that meet your organization's needs.
What Data Do I Start With?
It's easy to get carried away with tracking, but there are only a few measurements needed to start a rich test metrics program. Start with the basics and determine which are most valuable and can be used to derive other metrics.
Make sure everyone in your organization uses the same terminology. Terms such as "% Complete" to describe the "Pass %" are inaccurate unless the definitions are clear. For this article, let's use these definitions :
|An instruction to perform a particular action with a clear purpose, assumed setup parameters, and expected results
|Test Execution
|Performing a test or test group
|Test Status
|The results of a test when executed
Let's keep to a few simple and well-understood measurements:
|This test passed during this test execution.
|This test failed during this test execution.
|Not Executed
|This test was not executed during this test execution.
These measurements are the most basic we can track when executing a test. They can be tallied along with our total number of tests to form percentages.
Tracking Progress
Figure 1: Set of tests and its execution status
We have determined the total number of tests, their results, and the Pass % , Fail % , and Not Executed % using these simple formulas:
|Total Tests
|A count of all tests to be measured
|Total by Test Status
|The count of tests by their status
|Pass %
Percentage of tests in Pass status
|Fail %
Percentage of tests in Fail status
|Not Executed %
|Percentage of tests not executed
The Daily News--Summarizing What Testing Accomplished Today
We've uncovered some useful information. At the time that this report was generated, the Pass % was 55% and 27% of the tests hadn't been executed. There should be several issues in the defect management system to record the failures.
Anyone involved can get a quick idea of the current testing status. Combining this with previous project reports, the project team can see what happened yesterday and forecast what may happen tomorrow.
By managing the reporting and raw data separately, we can add more tests and still get the data we need. Let's use an example where "Setup" is the functional area being tested (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
This allows the report to show information for specific areas of the project and provide more granular information. Now let's manipulate the data a bit to glean

PLHS graduate completes Marine Corps boot camp
Pvt. Michael T. Brennan, 19, a 2012 Pequot Lakes High School graduate, earned the title U.S. Marine upon graduating from Marine Corps recruit training in San Diego on March 15.
He is the son of Tom and Katie Brennan.
Putting his recruit's honor, courage and commitment to the test, Brennan faced the physically and mentally rigorous challenges packed into the 13 weeks of Marine Corps boot camp. The training was designed to enhance raw talent and to create the morale and discipline required of all Marines.
During recruit training, he learned time-honored military customs and courtesies and mastered close-order drill. The training honed vital military skills such as marksmanship, first aid, martial arts and leadership. Following approximately 10 days of leave, Brennan will attend school to learn his occupational specialty. Then Brennan will report to his first duty station to gain further knowledge and experience serving with a Marine Corps unit.
Brennan was enlisted by Staff Sgt. Michael Hurraw from the Marine Corps recruiting office in St. Cloud.

Medicines can be an important part of treatment for serious infections. They can help relieve pain and lift depression. They can also combat some of the nation's leading causes of death and disability.
Today's medications can help control many common chronic diseases and lower the complications associated with them. Medications can play an important role in helping keep people out of the hospital.
Why do so many people not take their medications incorrectly or not at all? In fact, according to numerous researchers, more than one in four Americans do not take his or her medication as prescribed.
There are a variety of reasons for not taking medications correctly. Often, people don't understand how to take their medication correctly or lose track of their medication during the day. Some stop taking medication because they feel it is no longer needed. Others can't afford the expense of medication, especially those without insurance. People also stop taking their medication because of unpleasant side effects.
Taking medications on time and correctly is extremely important. When you don't take medications as prescribed, they may not work as well as they should, or you may have a greater risk for side effects.
But, the effects of not taking some medications aren't always obvious. People who don't take their blood pressure or cholesterol medications may feel well, but their blood pressure or cholesterol numbers may be rising. That can increase their risk for heart attack or stroke.
There's a lot you can do to help your medications work safely and effectively. Experts suggest that you:
Gather information. Request brochures and pamphlets about your condition and medication from your doctor's office. Ask your doctor to recommend reliable Web sites that may help. Your nurse information service is another good resource, if you have access to one.
Make a list of your medications. Include all medicines, vitamins, supplements, and herbal remedies that you use. Share this list with all your doctors and your pharmacist, and keep it up-to-date. This makes it easier for them to spot--and prevent--potentially dangerous drug interactions.
Don't rely on your memory. Buy a special pill case that's divided into the days of the week. Then keep it somewhere in plain sight but safe from children. Newer boxes have built-in alarms and a recorded voice to remind you. Another idea: Take your medication at the same time every day, perhaps when you brush your teeth or feed the dog. Set your watch or cell phone alarm to go off when you need to take a dose. Even a note on the refrigerator may help you remember.
Talk with your doctor. Before you stop taking a medication or start taking fewer doses to save money or simplify your schedule, call your doctor - even if symptoms disappear or you don't think the medicine is working. Suddenly stopping some medications can be dangerous.
Ask about a simpler schedule. If you just can't keep track of all your medications and when to take them, ask your doctor for help. With some medications, you may be able to switch to a different dose that doesn't need to be taken as often.
Explore more affordable options. Prescriptions can take a big bite out of your budget, even if your health benefits include drug coverage. But, taking less medication or skipping doses isn't a safe way to save money. If you've been prescribed a brand-name medication, ask your doctor about using a generic instead. It will have the same active ingredients as its brand-name version but may cost less. Are you eligible to order your medications at a discount? Check with your health plan. Some pharmacies and drug companies offer discount cards or very low-cost generic medications, too. Sometimes, you may be able to buy a larger dose and split it to save money. It may be cheaper, for instance, to buy 200 mg tablets and break them in half if you only need 100 mg. But ask your pharmacist because selected medications are not safe to split apart.
Taking your medication as directed is just one part of your overall strategy for staying healthy.

A theatre in Catalonia has started selling carrots in lieu of tickets in protest against a 13 per cent rise in VAT on cultural activities in Spain.
As a staple food product, carrots still have a 4 per cent VAT charge, rather than the 21 per cent applied to the arts since September, when the tax went up from 18 per cent.
The packed-out stalls of spectators, munching on carrots rather than popcorn, gave theatre director Quim Marc and the two actresses thunderous applause when they spoke about the damage caused by the VAT rise.
Spectator numbers are shrinking dramatically because of the recession. Theatre takings are down in Barcelona by 30 per cent since the increase, and 20 per cent of cinema screens are predicted to close by next summer.
