Malawi FA denies 2015 Nations Cup withdrawal
By Ian Hughes & Frank Kandu BBC Sport
Malawi Football Association (FAM) President Walter Nyamilandu has insisted the team have not pulled out of qualifying for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Nyamilandu was quoted in the The Nation Newspaper, saying "we have no choice but to forgo the Nations Cup because government advised us to prioritise", adding that a lack of funds had forced the decision.

Malawi FA President
And it was understood that the Malawi government had told FAM there was only enough money for the team to participate in either qualification for the 2015 Nations Cup or the 2015 Africa Youth Championship in Senegal.
But on Wednesday Nyamilandu told BBC Sport: "We haven't pulled out and we don't intend to pull out. "We are facing a serious problem with funding, but we are still in discussions with the Malawi government over our participation in both competitions. "We were asked by the minister us to prioritise our program and choose between the Under-20s and the senior national team but it is not the case at this stage that we have opted to withdraw from the Nations Cup.
"We are hunting for a sponsor for the Malawi national team and we hope something will come out of that. We also know that the Malawi government considers the national team highly. "It would be a misnomer for Malawi to pull out of the Nations Cup - we have a very good team and stand a very good chance of qualifying.
"A misunderstanding has come about because we have been asked to prioritise the teams."
The issue of funding is not a new problem for Malawi, who were advised by the government last September to forgo their last World Cup qualifier against Nigeria in Calabar since it had exhausted its funding.
But FAM went ahead, forcing the government to draw US$5,200 from the Presidential Initiative on Sports to supplement their $143,000 budget for the trip.
And it may be that Nyamilandu's latest comments are designed to put pressure on the government once more.
However, FAM has already been advised by Malawi Sports minister Enock Chihana to focus on grassroots football after their failure to reach this summer's tournament in Brazil.

Imperfect Oracle: The Epistemic and Moral Authority of Science available in
Science and its offshoot, technology, enter into the very fabric of our society in so many ways that we cannot imagine life without them. We are surrounded by crises and debates over climate change, stem-cell research, AIDS, evolutionary theory and “intelligent design,” the use of DNA in solving crimes, and many other issues. Society is virtually forced to follow our natural tendency, which is to give great weight to the opinions of scientific experts. How is it that these experts have come to acquire such authority, and just how far does their authority reach? Does specialized knowledge entitle scientists to moral authority as well? How does scientific authority actually function in our society, and what are the countervailing social forces (including those deriving from law, politics, and religion) with which it has to contend?Theodore Brown seeks to answer such questions in this magisterial work of synthesis about the role of science in society. In Part I, he elucidates the concept of authority and its relation to autonomy, and then traces the historical growth of scientific authority and its place in contemporary American society. In Part II, he analyzes how scientific authority plays out in relation to other social domains, such as law, religion, government, and the public sphere.

A Guy's Guide to Life: How to Become a Man in 208 Pages or Less - eBook: Jason Boyett: 9781418534554 - Christianbook.com
Stock No: WW9617EB
Men's Issues× (558)
What does society want of guys? To be independent, tough, and macho? To be a sensitive, caring metrosexual? To excel in school and sports and business? The challenges are many, and we haven't even mentioned the most important - and most frightening - topic of conversation: girls. The road to manhood is a perilous one.
Guys need a guidebook, one that asks and answers the questions they're reluctant to bring up. A book that addresses the myths of manhood with a straightforward approach teenage guys will appreciate and absorb. A book that understands what many fail to realize - that somewhere between the awkwardness and braggadocio, the goofiness and the developing body, there is a real person struggling to make his mark on the world.
