January 16, 2006 Happy Equality Day!By Paul ShlichtaIt is tempting to compare the zealots of political correctness to the pigs in Orwell's Animal Farm who proclaimed that 'all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.' There seems to be a certain selectivity in their concern for inclusiveness. A few weeks ago, in their eagerness to avoid offending non—Christians, they campaigned to keep Christ out of Christmas by stratagems such as replacing 'Merry Christmas' with 'Happy Holidays' — a practice that contradicted the preference of almost 70 percent of the American public and angered religious groups who threatened to boycott Sears and Wal—Mart for this secularization. In vain, we Christians protested (paraphrasing Scrooge), 'keep Christmas in you way and let us keep it in ours.' But the PC police wouldn't let us keep it our way; they persisted in trying to hijack our religious holiday by perverting it into something else. (Selwin Duke recently detailed some of these tricks, such as replacing the words of 'Silent Night' with secular ones.) Such 'inclusiveness' is suspiciously reminiscent of Chesterton's observation that Now, three weeks later, this concern for inclusiveness is conspicuously absent as these same PCs are eagerly gearing up for a national holiday honoring one particular champion of civil rights for one particular ethnic group. Consider that this holiday honors only one of the many champions of equal rights for African—Americans. Focusing exclusively on Martin Luther King eclipses other heroes such as Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, the hundreds of victims of KKK lynchings—and the recently departed lady who would not give up her seat in a bus. Remembering Mark Twain's dictum that 'thunder is good, thunder is impressive, but it is lightning that does the work,' one feels that Dr. King's accomplishments were largely based on the quiet heroism of Rosa Parks and others like her. Consider also that many other groups have been victims of discrimination and have champions of their own. American Indians, who have endured as long and horrible a persecution as African—Americans, have impressively eloquent heroes such as Chief Seattle and Chief Joseph—why shouldn't they also be honored? Hispanics might prefer to commemorate Caesar Chavez while women may want to honor Susan B. Anthony. Jews, who have endured centuries of overt and covert persecution, might well celebrate the heroism of Hyam Salomon during the Revolutionary War. Other groups, such as Catholics, have had no high—visibility champions and, perhaps partly for that reason, are even today the object of blatant vilification. I therefore propose that we take some of the spirit of inclusiveness that was recently lavished on Chris— er, the Happy Holidays, and apply it to the third Monday of January. Let its name be changed to Equality Day and let all champions of human rights and equality be honored. After all, the concept of universal human equality is the cornerstone of our nation and its laws. It is therefor fitting that we spend a day each year honoring that concept and its champions. I'm not proposing that Congress be petitioned to officially change the name; that's jut not going to happen. Instead, I suggest that we use the same hijacking tactics that the PCs used last month. Let us simply replace 'Happy Martin Luther King Day' with 'Happy Equality Day' and quietly campaign for total inclusiveness in its celebration. Let us celebrate Equality Day by publishing, in whatever, periodicals, website journals or blogsites we have access to, articles commemorating all of the heroes of universal human equality. If African—Americans and others among us wish to focus on Martin Luther King, then by all means let them do so; after all, he was a champion of non—violent demonstration and might well be honored as an American equivalent of Gandhi. But let the rest of us celebrate Equality Day by honoring the human rights heroes of our choice. Perhaps someone will commemorate Equality Day by writing an article on Jesus Christ, who, all religious claims aside, was the teacher who gave us the concept of universal human equality — a concept that was handed down from one Christian theologian to another until it eventually reached Mr. Jefferson. Atheist H. G. Wells acknowledged that Jesus was the most important human rights advocate who ever lived. Even if the PC police ultimately succeed in eliminating Christ from Christmas, someday we may nonetheless be allowed to honor him publicly on Equality Day. Paul Shlichta is a research scientist. on "Happy Equality Day!"

Via Email from the ad team:
The most basic change that you'll notice is that ads will now appear on the right side of Facebook pages instead of on the left. The new placement integrates the ads into the new site design in a meaningful way. As many as two ads may show at one time on any given page.
In addition to these changes, you will also see a new ad on the home page. This new ad is located just to the right of the News Feed, and will initially run a limited set of advertisers. As this space continues to evolve and improve, we'll provide more details.
So at least three ads on a profile now? (Not including banners) General users can't bid on the one next to the newsfeed. We'll see more tomorrow I suppose when the new look goes live.
2500 people have subscribed to my website instead of coming back each day. You can subscribe to the site using a feedreader or email. I'm also on Twitter. My online marketing blog might also be worth a visit. Thanks for visiting - Damien.

Introducing our Emerging Opportunities team
Today Skype takes another step towards our ambition to bring Skype to as many devices and platforms as possible.
We've created a new division, the Emerging Opportunities team, which will be responsible for our partnerships in the consumer electronics space and with silicon chip manufacturers. It'll continue the strong relationships we have with TV manufacturers such as Panasonic, Samsung and Sony, as well as take on a number of incubation projects.
I'm happy to announce that Jonathan Christensen has taken a new role as Vice President to lead this function, and I look forward to working closely with him over the coming months as the great work continues.
One thought on "Introducing our Emerging Opportunities team"
imronak said 3 years ago
Hi Tony,
Very good Move. With the advent of all these new devices and new faster connectivity technologies, more and more people will want to communicate on the mobile devices rather than their systems.
I have a question : Skype video is supported on iOS 4. Will group calling be supported on iPad 2 since it has a larger screen and camera too. If yes, that that would be the most important feature of iPad.

In their hometown, the McWanes are known for quiet generosity. The family pledged $10 million to the science museum, the McWane Center. They have given millions more to Alabama's major cultural institutions, including the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. College students compete for McWane scholarships.
The family's latest philanthropic project is this city's icon, a 56-foot statue of Vulcan, the god of fire and forge. Thanks to a $2 million leadership grant from the McWanes, the statue will soon be restored and returned to its pedestal atop Red Mountain, overlooking downtown as a symbol of the city's working men and women.
Yet if the good works are appreciated by Birmingham's civic leaders, the business empire that supports this philanthropy is barely known. The family is so private that not a single sign advertises the McWane corporate headquarters. In a 1997 profile of James Ransom McWane, then chairman of McWane Inc., The Birmingham News wrote that ''even well-connected'' business leaders had never met the man it described as ''a riddle in his hometown.''

Heather VanKeuren remembers a time, not so long ago, when it was rare for women to ride their own motorcycles.
"Twenty years ago you would see women on the back of motorcycles," said VanKeuren, in Gettysburg on Friday for the 20th annual Mid-Atlantic Women's Motorcycle Rally. "We felt like such a minority then."
But these days more and more women are giving up the back seat to ride their own bikes, erasing years of stereotypes and empowering other women riders.
"Now it's so amazing how many women riders there are," VanKeuren said.
"Women motorcyclists are one of the largest growing groups each year," said Dawn Huber, president of the rally.
Although the rally was created to provide a positive environment for women motorcyclists, it also raises money for women battling cancer. For VanKeuren, who lost both her father and an aunt to the disease, the cause is personal.
"I hope that no family would have to go through what I went through. Cancer touches everyone," she said. "It's such a feeling of empowerment to fight that disease."
This year proceeds will benefit Pink Out Women's Cancer Fund, of Hanover, and Help for Oncology Problems and Emotional Support , or HOPE. Each organization promotes public awareness and provides financial support for patients.
Barbara Titanish, co-founder and executive of HOPE, said the support from the women's rally is unbelievable, and she sees directly how the money benefits people battling cancer.
"We're their guides in the trenches," Titanish said. "We're there to help. It doesn't matter age, gender and economic situation."
Saturday the riders will present the money they've raised to the organizations. VanKeuren, an executive board member of the rally, estimates the amount raised this year will range from $13,000 to $20,000. The total amount of money raised in past years is $250,000.
VanKeuren said the event is an emotional experience for all involved.
"There is never a dry eye in the house," she said.
The three-day rally hosts a wide range of activities including organized motorcycle rides, tattoo contests, biker bingo, and bracelet-making. Vendors will be selling food, T-shirts, engravings, and jewelry. The event will conclude with the rally's own "Parade of Chrome." The motorcyclists, escorted by police, will ride through the streets of Gettysburg with 10 cancer survivors leading the way.
Nancy Warren originally founded the rally in 1993 at a time when women motorcyclists were a novelty. Warren sought to create an event specifically for women riders where they could meet, ride, and form connections. At the event, women exchange advice from how to position your body while riding, to ideas how to personalize and decorate the bike.
"It's helpful for women riders to hear tips from their peers," Huber said. "It's one of very few all-women motorcycle events."
The rally focuses on bringing women riders from across the country together, and has had women ride in from as far away as Canada and California. This year, about 200 women are there to connect with other riders from their area, and find new friends to ride with it.
"A lot of women are hesitant to ride on their own," VanKeuren said. "The focus is to have seminars and workshops - activities for women by women."
Pink Out Women's Cancer Fund, of Hanover, supports non-medical costs associated with cancer, from rent to meals, and special items such as prostheses or specialized clothing.
HOPE, which stands for Help for Oncology Problems and Emotional Support, donates money to patients with cancer to help out with monetary costs as well as emotional distress. Money goes to pay for groceries, transportation, in-home care, and other services for patients. For more information, or to donate, call 717-227-2963 or visit www.hopeforcancerfamilies.org

My Mood/Status:
Blog Entries:
We got married in 2002. I think ours was about $4,500. Dh and I paid for the service - a ceremony at a local wedding chapel for about $500.
I got a very inexpensive dress and veil (total of about $400), got the cake from a great German bakery that is not known for wedding cakes, for about $100.
I paid $200 for the flowers (just my boquet and corsages for my maid of honor, sister, mothers and grandmothers, and boutineers for the best man, usher, and my dad.
My inlaws paid for the honeymoon to Cancun. My inlaws also paid for dh's tux and his dad's tux (his dad was the best man). I had one bridesmaid (my maid of honor) and told her to buy a pastel dress.
My parents paid about $2000 for the reception. We didn't care about a dj or dancing - we rented a side room at Pappasitos, and it was closed off from the rest of the restaurant. We had 30 people there since we got married in TX and most of our families didn't come (they are in MD and NJ). We had fajitas for the buffet and pitchers of margaritas.
We got lots of help from our friends and family, too. Dh's best friend is an amazing photographer, and his present to us was the wedding pictures. My sister-in-law plays the oboe, and she performed the music before the ceremony. Our old college buddy volunteered to videotape for us.
I didn't want my parents to have to spend a lot of $ on the wedding, especially since both dh and I were employed and able to pay for some of it on our own. Plus, my parents were able to give us a nice check for a present - it included the money that we didn't spend on the wedding
It was so much fun, and I am glad that we didn't go overboard and start our marriage with a lot of debt. It is only one day. Your marriage is the rest of your life.

Mike FarrellRivals.com Football Recruiting
Hill, a 6-foot-3, 203-pounder, is the most athletic player in New Jersey in more than a decade. Hill plays quarterback and defensive back in high school but he'll focus on the defensive side of the ball in college. Hill currently lists Florida, Florida State, Maryland, Miami, Michigan, Penn State, Rutgers, Southern Cal and Virginia as his finalists.
Joining Hill in the Rivals100 is New Brunswick, N.J. athlete Brandon Smith, a 6-foot-3, 210-pounder who also plays quarterback and defensive back in high school. Smith lists Florida, Florida State, Michigan, NC State, Ohio State, Rutgers, West Virginia and Wisconsin. He had nine interceptions as a junior and he checks in at No. 3 in the state.
The No. 2 player in the state, Roxbury, N.J. linebacker Brendan Beal, won't be in these state rankings for long. Beal, a 6-foot-4, 235-pounder, is expected to transfer to Bethlehem (Pa.) Liberty for his senior season. Beal is one of three linebackers in the New Jersey top 10. He's joined by Princeton Junction (N.J.) West Windsor Plainsboro South 'backer J.B. Fitzgerald (No. 5) and Absecon (N.J.) Holy Spirit star Marcus Witherspoon (No. 7).
Big men have been rare in New Jersey of late but Manasquan, N.J. offensive tackle Art Forst and Elizabeth, N.J. defensive tackle Hafis Williams are both highly coveted. Forst, a 6-foot-8, 288-pounder, lists Rutgers, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Florida and Virginia his favorites while Williams, a 6-foot-3, 285-pounder, has already committed to Notre Dame. Forst checks in at No. 4 in the state while Williams is No. 8.
Rounding out the top 10 is Metuchen, N.J. wide receiver DeJuan Miller (No. 6), who committed to Oklahoma, Hackensack, N.J. safety Ausar Walcott (No. 9), who committed to Virginia, and Wayne (N.J.) Wayne Valley tight end Chris Pantale (No. 10), who lists Boston College, UConn, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Northwestern, Syracuse and Virginia amongst others.
Rutgers, coming off an amazing season, boasts two in-state commitments in the top 30. Teaneck, N.J. speedster Rashad White ranks No. 11 while Colonia, N.J. linebacker Eric LeGrand ranks No. 13. Virginia, with Walcott and Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic athlete Bill Schautz, and Boston College, with Montvale (N.J.) St. Joseph's Regional teammates Patrick Neumann and Christian Klein, also have two commitments from Jersey.

Practice Philosophy
At the root of every patient's pursuit of cosmetic surgery is the desire for acceptability. It is a basic and intrinsic drive to be esteemed as attractive, for attractiveness draws attention and possibly, even love. In the same vein, to be unattractive means to be deficient and, to some extent, virtually repulsive and maybe unloved. Hence, when a patient first walks into my office with a quest for cosmetic surgery, my primary goal is to search for the patient's innermost motivation for the change. It is just as vital for me, if not more vital, to assist the patient in rediscovering his or her inner beauty as we conquer with a scalpel the perceived flaws on the outside. As eyes tend to lie as they only see the surface, I want the heart to see more of the change, hoping to slice out the body image that creates negative feelings in a person. This ultimate outcome leads to love of oneself with an ensuing re-emergence of self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-acceptability, thereby improving one's relationship to others. I seek, therefore, an outcome that is based on a restoration of the wholeness of my patient by integrating the innermost reasons for the desired procedure in reasonable proportion to the patient's expectation, taking patient safety into optimal consideration.

LONG NECK, Del. - A marsh fire that damaged 11 manufactured homes in Sussex County Thursday was intentionally set, according to a fire investigator.
The fire started around 5 p.m. on Portside Lane in the Rehoboth Shores development near Long Neck, said Asst. State Fire Marshal Michael Chionchio in a statement.
The damage varied, though the siding melted on several homes near the fire.
The flames burned in a marsh and wooded area, just feet away from nearby homes. None of the homes actually started on fire, said Ryan Mock, Indian River Asst. Fire Chief. At least eight fire companies responded to the scene.
No one was injured, firefighters said. People were eventually allowed to return to their homes, Mock said. Firefighters, joined by the Delaware Forest Service, remained on the scene hours after the fire started to watch for hot spots, Mock said.
Damage is estimated at $22,000, Chionchio said.
State fire investigators are conducting a criminal investigation to find whoever is responsible for the fire.

Not even the most vociferous supporters of President Jonathan, for whom any criticism of their man is haram, have been able to find a way to spin the embarrassing question of his failure to declare his assets in accordance with a clear, unambiguous provision of the Constitution he swore to respect and defend. The strategy of presidential aides in Aso Rock, Jonathan's self-appointed social media wailers, and sundry kool-Aid drinkers is simple. They either avoid the subject entirely, hoping that "irritants" like Sahara Reporters and Premium Times would stop talking about it, or dredge up red herrings and foolish, constipated excuses and rationalizations, while hounding and abusing those insisting that transformation begins only when you respect the Constitution and your office. As usual, they underestimate our determination to keep this subject alive in the public sphere.
Two people cannot be suckers in the social exchange of lies. If an unsuspecting, innocent victim has no way of knowing that he has been lied to, the author of the lie knows that he has told a lie. Thus, we know that President Jonathan, his palace aides, and in-too-deep social media supporters are not unaware of the lies they are generating over this issue of asset declaration. We know that they know that every second President Jonathan spends in office without declaring his assets makes him an illegal president; a Disrespecter-in-Chief of the Constitution and the Office of the President of Nigeria. That is why Nigerians must continue to ignore the silly exhortations of government's mouthpieces to respect an office that the incumbent dishonors and disrespects.
We know that they know why President Jonathan cannot possibly declare his assets. It is a tricky situation for the President. Sometimes I genuinely feel for him. Even without adding whatever his share of the $1.1 billion Malabu Oil loot may turn out to be when, eventually and certainly, the fowl's rump is placed at the mercy of the evening breeze, it is obvious that the president has stolen much more than he will ever be able to satisfactorily explain to the Nigerian people with a straight face.
You need not look beyond the acquisitive culture of his political ilk and the empire of billion and trillion-naira corruption he now supervises to understand why he cannot possibly declare his assets. Why satisfy that constitutional provision and expose the size of his acquisition and the growth of same as he progressed from Deputy Governor to President when he knows that the National Assembly is way too irresponsible and compromised to ever make him comply with a Constitutional provision? Sam Nda-Isaiah implied recently that this mega-looting is going on in broad daylight within the vicinity of the President's office and he is doing nothing about it because the guilty are his aides, cronies, and political benefactors. I am not as generous as Mr. Nda-Isaiah. I believe that the President's hands are elbow-deep in the cookie jar.
Interestingly, the real reason President Jonathan is getting away with ruling Nigeria while spitting on the face of the Constitution has to do with another asset he has declared and will continue to declare brazenly. Suffice it to say that the President has no monopoly over this particular kind of asset. Every member of Nigeria's political élite holds substantial shares and stakes in this particular asset. I am talking about a followership largely deprived of civic sentience. This sort of followership is President Jonathan's greatest asset. It is the one asset he is not afraid to declare. It is the one asset he vigorously cultivates and addresses his speeches to.
It is perhaps now cliché to declare that the trouble with Nigeria is equally about leadership and followership. In fact, certain social critics and commentators have moved beyond wasting intellection on the failures of leadership and now focus mostly on how a cowed and disempowered citizenry can be awakened to the patriotic responsibility of taking Nigeria back from the buccaneers currently running and ruining our lives.
However, such analyses are not always backed by an understanding of the social trajectory of this followership. Some commentators have identified mass poverty and the ravages of prosperity Pentecostalism as the culprits responsible for the production of a sedated followership that either no longer knows how to hold office holders accountable or even displays symptoms of Stockholm's Syndrome by preening the same contemptible leaders who loot their today and rape their tomorrow.
The task now is to understand that this sedated and uncritical followership is a manufactured product. It is the product of a remarkable process of social production engineered by the leadership of Nigeria. Poverty and Pentecostalism are nothing but incidental and welcome instruments in a process of social engineering consciously settled upon and pursued with vision and vigour by Nigeria's political class. Manufacturing a followership that would evolve to identify with the rapist, rationalize rape or and explain it away is a critical pre-condition for running Nigeria the way it has been run at least since the 1980s.
In essence, those who complain that our educational institutions have been left to rot by an élite ever ready to send its children to Euro-America – and, sadly, Ghana – to acquire the quality education they deny Nigerians at home make a mistake by thinking in the intransitive mode. What happened to education in Nigeria was a transitive process. There is a difference between "Ken Saro Wiwa was killed" (intransitive) and "Abacha killed Ken Saro-Wiwa" (transitive). In the second sentence, there is a subject performing the action, "to kill" on an object. There is responsibility: Abacha. There is a victim: Ken Saro Wiwa. The same process applies to the fate of education in Nigeria. Our primary schools, secondary schools, and Universities were not left to rot. Such intransivity misses the ideological deliberateness at work. President Jonathan and his predecessor destroyed ou Universities and other educational institutions.
This purposed, transitive assault on education has only one target: civics. Our educational institutions per se are not the target of Nigeria's depraved rulers. The direct target is civics, that dangerous area of education and the humanities which produces sentient citizens capable of asking critical questions and acting. When you plan to turn the largest political union of black people on the face of the earth into the most embarrassing open sore of the black race; when you plan to turn Africa's most populous country into a continental example of how not to run a country; when you plan to loot on such a scale as to make Farida Waziri, your own appointed anti-corruption czar, declare in exasperation that the scale of looting by Nigeria's political leaders is a "symptom of mental illness"; when you are planning to loot on that uninterrupted scale for three generations since the 1980s, the first thing you need to do is manufacture a followership incapable of critically challenging you or one that would applaud and hail your actions, especially if there is the occasional trickle down from the table of the bacchanals you organize at their expense.
The diseducation – what is going on is neither miseducation nor under-education – of the Nigerian citizen, especially the generation which came of age in the 1980s and 1990s, is purposed. It is deliberate in the sense that there is a political élite which gains directly and massively from a national condition of civic illiteracy. This explains why nothing has worked to revamp education in Nigeria. All the policies you hear from official spokespersons of successive administrations in the education sector are mere lip service. Nigeria's élite would do only just enough to give UNESCO, UNICEF, and other relevant UN agencies the impression that they are doing something. It is really not in their interest to develop education.
What those of us who are critical stakeholders in project Nigeria – I am using stakeholders in the genuine sense; I do not refer here to the oafs in our political leadership who call themselves stakeholders – must understand is that the activism and critical intellection we deploy in the bid to actualize a process of national renaissance will continue to fail so long as the most critical segments of the population are being deliberately diseducated by those who fear civics.
This, really, is a double bind for we also cannot expect those who consider a followership without civic education an asset to improve the standards of education in the country. Why should you do that? Why would you be interested in producing citizens capable of rejecting a President who rules them in violation of the Constitution? Why would you invest in the production of citizens capable of demanding answers about your role in the $1.1 billion Malabu oil deal? On the contrary, your energies and resources would be geared at manufacturing a followership programmed to accept these things or rationalize them – a sort of Reno Omokri/Reuben Abati nirvana.
Many things happen in Nigeria that can only be explained by the fact that we have produced three generations of citizens and starved them of civics. How do you explain the insolence of David Mark's last medical safari to Israel and his airport reception by a bunch of idle charlatans who call themselves Ministers and Senators? How do you explain the treatment to which Nigerians are subjected every time Patience Jonathan, a woman not recognized by the Constitution, comes to town? How do you explain the figures we have been hearing in the conglomeration of scams that Nigeria has become? How do you explain that reaction to such successive outrage hardly ever goes beyond the restricted circuitries of activists, intellectuals, and the new generation of undaunted social media warriors for Nigeria's cause?
The enemy understands that there is a bigger mass that we cannot reach because he has diseducated them beyond what we could ever hope to reach and conscientize. This sort of followership is the asset that President Jonathan declares every day. They are his people. They make his day. And you know that Bukola Saraki also recently declared that kind of asset by claiming that the idle Kwarans who danced their way to Lagos to support him were not a rented crowd. They went there of their own volition. He is right. Those who danced to Lagos to support a man who stole from them come from the kind of followership that the Saraki dynasty has manufactured from one generation to the other in Ilorin. They do not have to rent a crowd. They already did their homework by killing civics in Kwara state.
It needs repeating: we cannot rely on the oppressor to educate our people. In fact what, he will do is trivialize education by mushrooming Federal and State Universities, always pulling the rabbit of new Universities out of his fedora before thinking of how to fund them while allowing existing ones to rot. That is his way of continuing the purposed devaluation of education – it did not start with him. He is just continuing a legacy – in order to sustain the assault on civics.
If we cannot look up to the Nigerian educational system as a partner in the struggle for national rebirth – those who fund it will never allow this – what is to be done? Methinks that Nigerian activists and intellectuals need to start thinking extremely seriously about the option of public pedagogy. We have to look beyond formal institutions to instruct and educate our people. We have to take civics to the streets, to social media, to Molue buses, to paraga joints. We have to meet Nigerians where they are. This would involve painstaking planning and networking. It would require dedicated intellects willing to brainstorm and strategize. Once we agree that public pedagogy is an option we need to consider very seriously, conceptualization and planning could follow. In the end, every citizen we gain who no longer identifies with his own oppressor, even if the oppressor is his ethnic kinsman - is one giant step for Nigeria. With public pedagogy and instruction, we can begin to undo the psychological injury that the oppressor has done to our Stockholm Syndromed compatriots and begin the process of taking Nigeria back one mind at a time.

Reuben Abati and the Aso Rock wailing "wailers" should answer this! It is a very serious allegation that Prof Adesanmi is making. He is not a lawyer but is very conversant with our useless 1999 military-imposed Constitution. That Constitution (and earlier ones) provides clearly for Declaration of Assets. But there is no provision for Publication of Assets. So our beloved Presido simply did the minimum required to comply i.e. Declaration. Only a Court of Law can compel him to Declare Publicly or Publish! He should not be accused of violation or non-compliance with the Constitution. Nigeria would have acquired a world record as Manufacturer of Fools if a sitting Presido collects Malabu Oil Bribe of the magnitude stated and it exists ANYWHERE in his name. The only thing we know for sure so far is that Nigeria's loot (and looters) are unsafe in Britain and Dubai judging by the outcome of Ibori and Alamie cases.
I also know that our dear President has NO Assets - cash or landed property overseas. I challenge ANY Nigerian that has found a property anywhere abroad that belongs to Dr Jonathan to publish such or picture thereof. Unlike Govs and former Govs like him, none of his family members resides abroad! (I make no alibis for anybody, just stating what I know since Adesanmi says Dr Jona's hand is also in the cookie jar.) Our Govs are robbing us blind and using the courts to fraustrate EFCC but directing our attention to Federal corruption. To date, the National Assembly has refused to publish salary and Allowances of Members. We complained that the preceeding set set salaries and allowances too high, a new one comes in and raises same by 4Million Naira. Our Presido Dr Jonathan is a cool guy. Last time when NigeriaVillagesquare began this Assets Declaration thing he first refused to publish. But when approached by friends in a nice way, he gracefully and quickly obliged. He had NO Constitutional duty to do so. So, Dr Jonathan has an Assets Declaration made Public as a federal Public Officer. We said we would proceed with the crusade to other high Public Officers. But when it reached the turn of David Mark we developed cold feet and "picked race". Na so den dey fight War on Corruption? So, this time now, him too don develop "ice feet" as him don become C-In-C (higher than David Mark) Let us go again to his earlier friends to intervene (warm up his feet) again! He will oblige! But if we base our request on some "Malabu thing" den go say NO. All we are saying is: to give our war against corruption some muscle, Public Officers MUST publish their Assets, period. Failure to do so means that somebody is hiding something. If the President publishes, then the VP will publish and who knows, David Bonaventure Mark (in his untramelled wisdom and automatic alacrity) may become converted and embrace the gospel. The Oil money is being shared to States although Federal still keeps some, why should you Adesanmi be concerned with Abuja Corruption and close your eyes to state and Local Govt corruption? Who is nearer to the common man man? Adesanmi, you are insulting Nigerians by saying we don't know our civic rights and duties. We do! We know e.g that the richest gets "justice" at Election Tribunals. We know that we are entitled to know the Assets of our President. If somebody makes small noise like late Gani Fawaehinmi, we go follow. What we lack are "critical thinkers" and activist leaders not afraid to die. Wailing @ Nigeriavillagesquare will not do it. You don't have to set yourself on fire (as we no like to die) to make the point. Many many ideas exist but most are extra-legal! It is no use carrying rumour about any Malabu thing or waiting too long for Publication. If ANY patriotic Nigerian knows of ANY property acquired anywhere in the world with Nigerian loot send picture or document this site or any other and/or depose to an Affidavit like Godwin Daboh (RIP) Such person would achieve instant fame and followership. We could also "occupy" such property! Then we would not even need to beg our Dear Presido for Assets publication again. Note Assets Publication! NB: Saro Wiwa!!! Another Example of corrupt reporting: "Chief MKO Abiola died of heart disease in custody". Truth: Chief MKO Abiola was executed in detention. QUOTE:
A man who comes with a transformation agenda and does nothing to change the minds of the populace about the deeply entrenched belief that all Nigerian politicians are thieves and that the shortest conduit to stupendous wealth is via politics, surely his agenda is bound to fail. It is elementary politics that GEJ would have endeared himself to the masses if he declared and published his assets, goes on record to decry the excessive compensation of the NASS, but noooo.. since he is one of them , the rulers/tourists in Nigeria, he does the minimum and expects that a spent populace, lacking in indignation and sense of propriety will just go along. Is he going to claim blissful ignorance about the role of corruption in our nation? He had to be approached in a nice way to do the minimum... I shake my head in disbelief!!!! If he has nothing to hide, or to steal for the future, let him declare and publish his assets ASAP. His transformation rant will have more credibility then!!! Osi ile pako QUOTE:
What an irony! Civil servants are urged to declare their salaries if they have no tangible assets. No wonder we say in Igbo that when a man meets somebody he believes he can easily beat up, he not only loves to fight but also longs for one.
Oh my God, all these can only happen in Nigeria. We all need to fight for our future and that of generations to come, but not by words, by action. Bob Marley asked " How long shall we kill our prophets, why do we stand aside and look?" we have concluded as he said " some say it just a part of it" we have accepted what is going on in Nigeria as a PART of it. We need total "emancipation from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our own mind". Nigeria is sick and may die if we do not act.Every Nigerian need transformation and renewal of mind.
does it matter if he declared his assets or not?
He is a weak and ineffective president. He confessed he did not start Nigeria's problems and has no solutions for them. He should be forced out of office, asset declaration or not.
Lets all agree that we made terrible mistake in 2011.
Dig out your voters cards, look at it and talk to it by saying the following. I misused you last you last time, I will surely use you wisely in 2015. QUOTE:
Good idea! What solution do you offer if Iwu reincarnates in 2015?

text: WB, DC Comics & EA Announce Batman Begins Game by SuperHeroHype October 25, 2004 Share this story Film-inspired game slated for multiple platforms in 2005 Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC Comics and Electronic Arts today announced that the companies have joined forces to bring Batman Begins to multiple videogame platforms in 2005 (click on the thumbnail to the left for a bigger version). In this exclusive co-publishing agreement, a game based on the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures' film starring Christian Bale will be released day and date with the film on the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the PSP (PlayStation Portable) handheld videogame system, the Xbox video game system from Microsoft, the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance. "The theatrical release of 'Batman Begins' will be the entertainment event of the summer. Leveraging our extensive experience with blockbuster franchises, we look forward to bringing this game to market," said Greg Richardson, Vice President and General Manager, EA Partners. "The Batman fiction is rich with style, drama and action -- three elements that define this game and will help plunge players into the heart of the experience." "'Batman Begins' is the darker depiction of Batman that we've all been waiting for, and we are teaming with EA to bring players an edgy, action game that captures this tale," said Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Co-publishing 'Batman Begins' allows Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to continue its involvement in the development and marketing of quality games based on Warner Bros. properties." "We're thrilled to partner with EA and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to capture the magic of 'Batman Begins' in a ground-breaking videogame," said Paul Levitz, President and Publisher of DC Comics. "This will mark the first time that a Batman video game has been developed to complement a film event, and we look forward to inviting players to step into the movie's reality and make the world of Batman their own." Together, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and EA are overseeing all development and production aspects of the game, while EA alone will handle distribution. The companies will lead joint marketing campaigns. The game is being developed by UK-based Eurocom for the consoles, and by Vicarious Visions for the handhelds. The Batman Begins film explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.Source: Electronic ArtsRead more about:Batman

Richard Davenport is a recruiting columnist for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
LSU commitment to visit Hogs
Arkansas will be getting an official visit from one of the top tight end prospects in the nation.
Jacory Washington, a LSU commitment isn't a stranger to Arkansas. His father, Waddell Kelly played running back for Arkansas State from 1984 to 1987 and has numerous family members in the state.
"I have family all over Arkansas in Little Rock, Pine Bluff, a little town Gould and Fayetteville," he said "They're all over the state."
Washington, 6-5, 220, 4.65 seconds in the 40 yard dash, of Westlake, Louisiana isn't sure when he'll visit the Hogs but is hoping to attend a game so he can experience the atmosphere.
"Like I said once before, I'm solid with my commitment with LSU but I'll take my visits," Washington said. "If something changes, you never know what might happen."
Washington said his family in Arkansas don't push him towards the Hogs.
"Oh no, not at all," Washington said. "They just want what's best for me."
Tom Lemming of CBS Sports Network rates Washington a 4-star plus recruit, the top tight end prospect in Louisiana and one of the best in the nation.
"Jacory is quick getting off the ball, possesses large and strong hands," Lemming said. "He's a good route runner and knows what to do with the ball after the catch. He looks thin at 220 and should play between 250 and 260 in college."
Washington doesn't know his vertical jump measurement but he said he's not lacking in that area.
"I've got hops," he said. "I'm not going to sit here and lie to you that I know my vertical because I don't but I have hops."
He said he's been communicating with graduate assistant Terrance Butler.
"He hit me up on Facebook one day and we just hit it off," Washington said. "We just started talking. I'm going to try and get down there real soon and check them out."
Butler has informed him about Coach Bret Bielema's track record of putting tight ends in the NFL.
"They have a lot of experience with tight ends there with the new staff," Washington said. "The coaches I spoke with put a couple of guys into the NFL that's still playing in the NFL . That's music to my ears."

Matt Moore became the youngest American League left-handed pitcher to start a season with an 8-0 record since Babe Ruth in 1917, allowing one run over seven innings as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1.
Clayton Kershaw's historic opening day start for the Los Angeles Dodgers demonstrated why the 25- year-old left-hander, who elicits comparisons to Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, might become the first $200 million pitcher in Major League Baseball history.
The Seattle Mariners and former Cy Young Award winner Felix Hernandez have reached agreement on a new contract that may make him the highest-paid pitcher in Major League Baseball history.
The Seattle Mariners and Felix Hernandez agreed on a seven-year, $175 million contract that would make him the highest-paid pitcher in Major League Baseball history, USA Today reports, citing an unidentified person familiar with the contract.
Clayton Kershaw and Bryce Harper showed why the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals entered the Major League Baseball season as two of the leading favorites to win the World Series.
The Seattle Mariners' Felix Hernandez won the American League Cy Young Award after recording just 13 victories, the lowest in history for a full-season starter who was picked as his league's top pitcher.
Felix Hernandez pitched the 23rd perfect game in Major League Baseball history and the third this season as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 1-0.
Felix Hernandez struck out six batters in nine innings for his 10th victory as the Seattle Mariners defeated the New York Yankees 1-0 to even their three- game series at one game each.
The Detroit Tigers signed pitcher Justin Verlander to a five-year contact extension, keeping the 2011 Cy Young Award winner from becoming a free agent in 2014.

November 6, 2009 That Light in the Tunnel Is Still a LocomotiveBy Kyle-Anne ShiverTuesday night, when my financially-flogged, nerve-wracked husband announced the election returns, he breathed a deep sigh of relief and beamed, "It may not be much, but I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel." To which I replied, "Yep, but it's still a locomotive." He threw a pillow at my head and switched to the ultimate fight on SPIKE. So, down to brass tacks on saving the Republic. Did the two GOP victories this week -- in purple Virginia and bluer-than-blue New Jersey -- signal a beam of sunshine in a tunnel gone dark with fear and gloom? Or, is that light conservatives see just the same old Obama locomotive? Not to in any way disparage the euphoria, which momentarily swept Republican hearts Tuesday night, but I still see that Obama locomotive steaming down our tracks, and the end of the line remains a hairy-high cliff from which there may be no returning. Our national security hangs in the balance all over the world, especially in Afghanistan. Yet the Ditherer in Chief chose to spend yesterday in a Wisconsin high school gym giving another blame-it-all-on-Bush speech to a bunch of kids. Meanwhile, real Americans are giving their lives in battle, becoming more discouraged by the hour, and our enemies are chomping at the bit from Russia to Asia to the Middle East. They can smell a wimp thousands of miles away. So far, the Israelis are picking up a lot of the Obama-engineered U.S. slack. Tuesday night, while the President watched a football game, the Israeli Navy intercepted a weapons cargo ship filled with hundreds of tons of Iranian rockets and ammunition which was bound for Hezbollah in Syria. Americans of all political stripes ought to be sending candy-grams to Netanyahu, but still, thinking the sun has overtaken the Obama locomotive seems wildly premature. Next Monday, November 9th, is the 20th anniversary of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall. President Obama has already sent his regrets; he will not attend the ceremony. Apparently, it wasn't enough to pick the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland to inform the Polish people of his decision to completely abandon our planned missile-defense, a crucial element in dealing with the openly resurgent Russian Bear. The Russians have been practicing a nuclear invasion of now-abandoned Poland. President Obama follows up his abandonment of Poland by scorning the Berliners in a barely-veiled invitation to Putin's conquests. Not much for celebration by liberty-lovers there. On the domestic front, while Obama's eternal campaign mode distracts the American electorate, his locomotive roars down the tracks barely noticed. Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal tallied a few of the Democrats' "Quiet Changes." Hidden in defense-policy legislation, signed last week, was a long-sought liberal prize, the broadened definition of hate-crimes, which will now include sexual orientation and gender identification. Pedophiles and transvestites celebrate, while the rest of us have to worry about securing our children. The speed of Obama's liberal locomotive has been so fast that the country barely had time to notice how his jobs-creating rhetoric was meaningfully belied by legislation to make it far easier for women to sue for equal pay. Another new law provided environmentalists a long-sought set-aside of millions of acres in the West from development. That land has been geologically surveyed and is rich in energy potential. Meanwhile, we the people get stuck with escalating utility prices. Ordinarily, citizens can reliably depend upon politicians to worry about reelection enough to put the brakes on unpopular policy. But from where I'm sitting, it doesn't seem to be bothering our trio of mad social engineers up there in D.C. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are still steaming down those tracks to the cliff. This week, Mrs. Pelosi plans a vote on her 2,000+ page health care power-grab, which is nothing but pure insanity wrapped in mounds of legalese, to the tune of $1.2 trillion. I'm waiting for some brave TV personality to shout out, Rick-Santelli style, "This is America! How many of you want to pay for your neighbor's hypochondria, promiscuity, gluttony, and drug addiction?" Raise your hands. Show of hands notwithstanding, Pelosi plans to vote by Saturday. The Senate poured more fuel into Obama's locomotive engine yesterday with important committee action on a climate change bill. As real scientists jump with more haste and in larger numbers each day from the global-warming hoax car, Democrats apply their Gore-enabled blinders and forge straight towards that economic cliff. So, call me a pessimist. Call me skeptical. Call me anything whatsoever but a locomotive-denier. And in the meantime, if you do love America, call your congressman twenty times a day, seven days every week. Tell him or her you're storing up on tar and feathers and will not rest until they're all run out of town on rails if they vote for any more of this liberal insanity.
