Raina named India A skipper, Yuvraj included ? Cricket News - Bettor

Raina named India A skipper, Yuvraj included ? Cricket News Update

The Indian selectors have named Suresh Raina as the skipper for the A side which will play England in the first warm-up match from October 30 at Mumbai.

The 14-member squad further sees the inclusion of Yuvraj Singh, who recently hit a smashing double hundred for North Zone in his first first-class game since recovering from cancer. The left-hander?s knock earned plenty of praise from his domestic teammates, who said that the player is ready to stake a permanent claim in the Test side.

The all-rounder made the headlines after he was included in the World T20 squad, despite having little competitive game time under his belt. Nonetheless, he still provided sound contributions, including a Player of the Match performance in the team?s last outing of the mega-event against South Africa.

His presence will be seen as a strong indication that he may be in line to get a call-up into the Test side as a preferred no.6 batsman. He is also a handy left-arm spinner which could prove vital in him getting the nod ahead of Raina, who took that spot during the recently concluded Test series at home following VVS Laxman?s decision to retire from his duties as an international player.

In total, there were nine batsmen in the squad, notable being Ajinkya Rahane, Manoj Tiwary and Shikhar Dhawan. There was no place for Rohit Sharma, who was also omitted from the Test group which battled the Kiwis. He however, is expected to be in the ODI team. Rajasthan duo of Robin Bist and Ashok Menaria also made the cut following consistent performances in last season?s Ranji Trophy.

Wriddhiman Saha was the lone wicket-keeper in the squad. Also, there was no place for a spinner in the side as the selectors believe that unleashing them in the eventual series might the way to tackle the English contingent. The four bowlers in the line-up included Irfan Pathan, Ashok Dinda, Vinay Kumar and Parwinder Awana.

Squad:

Suresh Raina (c), Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Yuvraj Singh, Manoj Tiwary, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Irfan Pathan, Vinay Kumar, Parwinder Awana, Ashok Dinda, Robin Bisht, Ashok Menaria, Abhinav Mukund.

Bringing Home the Browns: Local East Texas Family Sweeping the ...

Facebook

Sean and Heather Brown lived a typical East Texas love story. He was a backwoods boy who loved to hunt, and she was a blonde beauty. The two fell in love and got married, and 7 years later found out they would be expanding their little family. But their story took a wrong turn just over a month ago, and they?re using Facebook to share it and inspire people everywhere.

On September 15th and 34 weeks pregnant, while John was fighting for our country in Afghanistan, Heather was having some headaches and back pains. So she went to the hospital to be cautious. There she starting having seizures which doctors determined was due to bleeding in her brain. The baby, John Michael, was taken by emergency C-section and sent to a local NICU Unit. All the while Heather had slipped into a coma.

Sean got word of what was going on with his family back home, and immediately started the journey from Afghanistan to East Texas. It took him 72 hours with no contact to get updates on his wife and son. He arrived at Tyler Pounds and had a police escort to the hospital.

On October 5th, at 5 lbs, baby John Michael Thomas Brown was brought home in good condition with his daddy by his side. Doctors are pleased with his development as he and his family are adjusting. Sean tries to divide his time at home with Baby John and time at the hospital with Heather.

It?s been over a month and Heather is still in a coma. Yesterday, Baby John got to visit his mother for the first time. While Heather has had little to no response or reaction, doctors say that John is the best medicine that Heather can have. He is better than any medicine a doctor can prescribe.

The family gives updates on Heather and the baby, along with pictures on their Facebook page. Since the page was put up just over one month ago, it has gained over 365,000 likes and shares across the country. People are being inspired by this families story and strength. For updates on Heather and Baby John, visit the Facebook page.

OnBlog: Our clients at Z57 realize Facebook's potential

The questions regarding Facebook marketing and its profitability have raged on for years. As the debate swirled, many in the real estate community have begun talking less and doing more ? and in turn, selling more.

While opponents of Facebook marketing have claimed that the process is a waste of time with little payoff, evidence suggests that the popular social networking site has become an ?indispensable distribution channel? for realtors. For instance, studies have shown that most home-buying prospects spend a minimum of 20 minutes each day browsing Facebook. When you combine that with the fact that 40% of social media users find their realtors through referral (according to the 2011 National Association of REALTORS Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers), it?s clear that social media sites have the potential to become an integral part of the real estate buying process . Even the agents themselves are starting to realize the significance of Facebook, as 56% of real estate pros feel social media sites are ?important or very important? in generating leads.

At the forefront of this movement is San Diego-based Z57, Inc., an internet and social media marketing company who has been our partner since 2006. Taking advantage of our Listings Search Engine?s flexibility on social platforms, the company offers all the tools needed to create and manage your Facebook presence. This includes a built-in IDX search (approved by CMLS), home value tools, school and community reports and more. These tools allow you to interact more intelligently and effectively with your potential customers (and make your profile look prettier, of course).

However, integrating your business with Facebook is a task often easier said than done. Even the most seasoned of marketing professionals will tell you how difficult it is to plan and manage a successful social media campaign. Luckily for realtors,? Z57 recently launched its PropertyPulse platform to go along with its web services, making everything from Facebook site design to analyzing strategy performance as easy as riding a bike (or tricycle for the balance-impaired). Still having trouble? Z57?s Academy Campus offers real estate specific Facebook marketing training for its clients. With so many tools and services at their disposal, real estate agents can spend less time behind a computer and more time selling houses.

Even though there are so many possibilities, it?s important to remember that Facebook integration is a long-term strategy that?s better evaluated next year rather than next week. Don?t expect a flood of new customers in the first month. Instead, focus on creating quality interactions with your customers by providing a constant stream of information and developing your company brand and personality. That way, you will be the first name on their minds when it?s time to make a home-buying decision. Social media integration is a long and complicated investment; those that execute their campaigns properly will leave their skeptical competitors in the dust.

Focus on the Family Community: Parenting: 6 year old shy ...

Currently Being Moderated

Oct 23, 2012 10:45 AM

We have a beautiful 6 year old daughter who is very shy when she's outside of our home, and we are also seeing that she is a perfectionist in school. To compound the situation, she is also very strong willed. We read Dr. Dobson's book and worked through the 2 and 3 year old years - they were tough, but we won the battle. She is very respectful and obedient now 95% of the time, but if life doesn't go her way, she gets very upset.? At home, she'll stomp into her room and yell or occasionally tell us how mean we are for not giving her what she wants. We can handle that...but at school, when those things happen, she just shuts down - goes silent. We talk with her teacher regularly and she's very helpful and understanding. She recognizes Sydney's tendencies and is doing her best. But we're also recently seeing that she is a perfectionist in her school work!? So the strong-willed personality, perfectionism, and shyness all collide in a perfect storm that makes school very stressful for her. :-/? When she's struggling with getting something perfect, she won't ask for help because she's shy.? Her teacher is trying to watch her more closely and offer to help when she can tell she's struggling.? It seems to be getting a little better as the year goes on, but I just wondered if anyone has advice for how to help a child who struggles with everything being perfect.? She's not like that in every area of her life - but it seems to be when others are going to look at her work. Sydney and I are pretty opposite in personality and in almost every way... and I'm really struggling to relate to her.? We are so different that I often feel at a loss with how to properly parent her. Any words of wisdom or resources to read would be very welcome!

Bigfoot Vandalizes a Winnebago and Other Questionable Claims

A Pennsylvania man who accused Bigfoot of vandalizing his 1973 Winnebago earlier this month is just one of a long history of people who have blamed the hairy humanoid for attacking personal property and dwellings.

John Reed, a Bigfoot enthusiast, claims that during a camping trip he and his girlfriend saw a tall, dark, hairy figure walk past their camper window at night. According to one news story, Reed said the Bigfoot "threw rocks at his mobile home's outside light to escape discovery."

This explanation doesn't make sense; if the Bigfoot didn't want to be noticed, it presumably wouldn't have walked right past the Winnebago's window with two people inside, nor thrown rocks at the camper. The creature could simply have avoided the campsite, or kept walking into the darkness if it did not want to be detected, instead of standing and throwing rocks at an exterior light.

Perhaps the strangest part of the story is that Reed, who founded a Bigfoot hunting group and claims to have seen it twice before, did not photograph the creature. [Bigfoot, Nessie & the Kraken: Cryptozoology Quiz]

Reed is not alone

As odd as this story seems, Reed is not the first to claim to find traces and evidence of what they assume must have been a Bigfoot, though not clearly seeing or photographing it at the time. The logic goes like this: I don't know what else it might have been, so it must have been Bigfoot.

It is well known that wild animals attack vehicles such as car and RVs ? especially if they can smell food inside. And many animals, including bears and raccoons, can be very clever and persistent in trying to get into vehicles and other containers. Trashcans in national parks have specially designed latching mechanisms to thwart feral intruders.?

There have been other cases where unknown creatures attack vehicles, though those attacks have typically occurred at night and/or while the occupants were away. Strangely, Bigfoot are never credibly accused of attacking people; just about every other animal in the world has been known to attack humans at some point, including cats, dogs, deer, moose, bear, boar, elk, cougar, birds, fish, and so on. Not so for Bigfoot ? a fact that raises suspicion among many skeptics.

Bigfoot have been claimed to vandalize not only dwellings but also trees. In October 2011, Bigfoot researcher and biologist John Bindernagel visited western Siberia to examine evidence of the Yeti (the Russian version of Bigfoot). He claimed to have found evidence that the creature broke trees and branches. "Twisted trees like this have also been observed in North America and they could fit with the theory that Bigfoot makes nests," Bindernagelsaid in an interview with the British tabloid "The Sun."

In another mysterious incident that some attribute to Bigfoot or another unknown creature, in 2008 a South Carolina couple claimed that something vandalized their vehicle, leaving mysterious bite marks and ripping out part of the fender on their 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan.

Famous 1924 Bigfoot Attack

The most famous case of a Bigfoot attack allegedly occurred at a place called Ape Canyon, near Mount St. Helens, Washington. In 1924, a group of five miners working at the site were besieged by a group of "ape men." One of the miners, a man named Fred Beck, claimed that they sighted a group of Bigfoot high above them on the edge of the canyon. The miners then spent a terrified night holed up in their cabin, during which the Bigfoot bombarded the cabin with rocks, and, they claimed, even tried to break the door in. The miners couldn't get a good look at the Bigfoot?partly because it was dark and partly because they could only see outside through small cracks in the door and walls.

The incident was cited for years in Bigfoot lore as a classic Bigfoot attack, and the details were exaggerated with each retelling. For example a few dozen fist-size rocks that rained down on the roof and walls became "giant boulders" in some versions of the story. Later research found that the famous Ape Canyon Bigfoot attack was not a hoax ? but nor was it real: it was instead a combination of a prank and misperceptions.

It seems that the "Bigfoot" were local YMCA youth from nearby Spirit Lake, who had a long tradition of throwing stones (including pumice rocks, which can be deceptively light for their size) down into the canyon from above. The kids would not have known the miners were in the canyon, nor even that they were necessarily hitting a cabin in the darkness far below. When the miners looked up they would have only seen silhouettes of figures far above them. It must surely have been a terrifying experience for the miners, and it's easy to see how the Bigfoot story could have been spawned. [Who Believes in Bigfoot?]

Could something similar explain the recent incident in Pennsylvania? Reed says he believes that the damage to his Winnebago wasn't caused by a group of pranking kids, though police think that's exactly what it was and are treating the case as ordinary vandalism. If Reed wants to file an insurance claim for the damages to his camper, he might want to go with that story.

Indiana Fever capture first WNBA title

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Tamika Catchings finally won her long-awaited WNBA championship.

She scored 25 points to help the Indiana Fever win their first title with an 87-78 victory over the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday night.

Catchings, who was the MVP of the Finals, averaged 24.8 points in the series, which the Fever won 3-1 over the defending WNBA champions.

''It's been an amazing journey,'' said Catchings tearing up. ''We've had ups and downs, ins and outs."

Erin Phillips added 18 points and eight rebounds while Shavonte Zellous and Briann January each had 15 points.

The Fever won even though No. 2 scorer Katie Douglas missed most of the series with a severely sprained left knee. Douglas checked in with 3.2 seconds left to a loud ovation.

''We sure didn't make it easy,'' Douglas said. ''We went three games with Atlanta, three games with Connecticut. This team played amazing in these Finals.''

Catchings had won three Olympic gold medals and an NCAA championships at Tennessee in 1998, but never a WNBA one. She had been in a position to clinch at home before. The Fever led Phoenix 2-1 in the best-of-five WNBA Finals in 2009, but the Mercury beat the Fever 90-77, took the series back to Phoenix and won the title at home in Game 5.

This time, Catchings took it home with college coach Pat Summitt looking on in the crowd.

Indiana led 63-58 at the end of the third quarter. Minnesota cut Indiana's lead to 70-67 on a jumper by Maya Moore, but Phillips scored on a drive past Moore, got a defensive rebound, then found Shavonte Zellous for a 3-pointer from the left corner to give the Fever a 75-67 lead with 4:58 remaining.

Indiana led by at least five points the rest of the way. A 3-pointer by January gave Indiana an 80-72 lead with 1:18 to play. Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve was called for a technical with 57.6 seconds remaining, Catchings made the free throw and the Fever took an 81-74 lead. Zellous made two more free throws with 27.2 seconds to play, and Fever fans began celebrating.

Seimone Augustus, Minnesota's leading scorer in the playoffs, was held to eight points on 3-for-21 shooting. Lindsay Whalen scored 22 points and Moore added 16 points for the Lynx, who were vying to become the first team to win consecutive titles since Los Angeles in 2001 and 2002.

Moore picked up her third foul with 6:13 left in the second quarter. Reeve, who was fined for her jacket-tossing tantrum in Game 2, became animated again while disagreeing with the call. As the crowd erupted, Reeve waved hello and made the motion for a technical foul.

This time, Reeve's antics didn't help much as in Game 2, when her team pulled away from a tight contest after her technical foul for a convincing win. Minnesota tied the game three times in the second quarter, but the Fever closed with a 7-2 run, including a 3-pointer by Phillips, to take a 47-42 lead at halftime. Whalen scored 14 points in the first half to keep the Lynx in the game, often scoring on uncontested drives. Minnesota hung tough, despite Augustus shooting 2-for-13 in the first half.

Indiana started the second half on a 9-4 run, including two buckets by Catchings, to take a 56-46 lead.

Minnesota came right back. A driving layup by Moore cut Indiana's lead to 56-54 and forced the Fever to call timeout.

Minnesota tied the game on another drive by Moore, but the Fever responded with a 3-pointer by Catchings and a basket by Jessica Davenport to push the lead back to five by the end of the quarter.

"The first casualty of War is Truth" - Iranian Channels Shut Off & Banned on US order/Israel Lobby Pressure

Are these acts a clear indication to an impending war with Iran?
The US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has ordered the international broadcast services provider to shut down the Iranian channels, including Sahar, Jam-e-Jam, Islamic Republic of Iran News Network and al-Kowsar.
Press TV was not included in the list of the channels that have been removed.
Israeli lobby groups have reportedly contacted two communications satellite service providers to force them to take Iranian radio and television channels off the air following a recent ban on the broadcasters in Europe, Press TV reports.
One of Europe's leading satellite providers on Monday said it would terminate its contract with Iran's broadcast company, IRIB, immediately pulling 19 state-owned television and radio channels off the air.

Eniva ? The Next Most important Home Based Business? | Traffic ...

Delray Beach, FL ? While relentlessly searching for the perfect work from home business opportunity, a Fl man stumbles across an actual, passionate, solid, and trusting eight yr old company called the ENIVA Business.

After researching the company, the products, and the leaders of ENIVA, Brisson soon recognized the potential of this quickly growing Minnesota primarily based company: the potential to become the next billion dollar home-based business opportunity.

As Brisson mentioned, ?I knew I was on to something when I first experimented with more info and felt immediate positive results within minutes. I have never had a nutritional supplement ever do that, specifically taking just one ounce. I knew this became it!?

Initial, Brisson discovered the shocking truth about the diet industry and the real facts about the pills and tablets relaxing in cupboards across The us. As stated in the Physicians Desk Reference (PDR), ?supplements within tablet or pill form are only 10% absorbed by the body.?

While reading with regards to ENIVA VIBE, Brisson fell upon the document that recommended VIBE in the PDR as keeping the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) ranking of any tested dietary supplement on the market today.

Another technological research report found that VIBE is virtually 98% absorbable at the cell stage because of it?s angstrom sort of minerals, manufactured making use of ENIVA?s Solutomic? Technology.

At that moment, Brisson observed a voice in their head speak the 1st golden rule when scouting for a home based business opportunity, ?the item must be unique as well as highly consumable.?

His next aim was to learn about the leaders?

To his awe, Brisson realized that ENIVA was on course by two really passionate, young, and also caring twin siblings: Andrew Baechler, Chief Executive Officer, and Benjamin Baechler M.D., Chief Medical Policeman.

After speaking with Andrew Baechler on the phone, Brisson heard the particular voice again say the second golden rule when choosing a home based business chance, ?choose a stable and solid company with a track record of success and development.?

ENIVA was performing just that. Within 2 years, the ENIVA Corporation gone from having 25,000 distributors to presenting well over 250,000 in 4 nations including the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, and Bermuda.

Brisson mentioned, ?Wow! I was totally pleased, excited, and allayed to come across a truly passionate, caring, and honest team of frontrunners that I found at ENIVA. This is actually the exact company as well as group of people I have been seeking.?

Brisson?s next aim was to find in case ENIVA possessed the third fantastic rule when choosing an internet business opportunity: leverage.

By combing his world wide web marketing expertise with the home business opportunity ENIVA offered, Brisson after that created an automated, straightforward, and duplicable internet method that allows anyone irrespective of their age, race, sex, or disability the ability to earn a month-to-month residual income of plenty and in some cases thousands of dollars operating their business part-time.

System Marketing Business Journal explained, ?In fact, there are character taking place so robust that experts anticipate, in the next 10 years, Eniva can create more millionaires beyond average people than any company before.?

Brisson encourages anyone of all ages, race, gender, or even disability to do your own research on this remarkable company ENIVA and you will discover the same amazing benefits as he did. This can be a opportunity of a lifetime and you also do not want to pass this specific by.

The Mog Log: Consoles and the online Final Fantasy | Massively

You could be forgiven for losing faith in the prospect of Final Fantasy XIV ever coming out for the PlayStation 3. Yes, it had been a promised platform, but it wouldn't be the first MMO to abandon console promises. Heck, the development team is still working on fulfilling some of the promises made by the original team; it could be forgiven for putting that one on the back burner.

But it's a real thing. We've seen the screenshots, and we know that two years after the game's initial launch, we will finally get to play around in Eorzea on our televisions. (The "we" in this case refers to fellow PS3 owners.) This is sort of a mixed blessing.

This isn't a column about console gaming compared to PC gaming; I really don't care which platform you prefer, and it's also not the point. This is a column about the fact that Final Fantasy XI and Final Fantasy XIV are both going to be console games as well as computer games, and that introduces some interesting wrinkles.

This is what I'm basing the number on, if you're wondering.Interface woes

I've mentioned in the past how Final Fantasy XI has suffered in no small part because it's tied to the PlayStation 2. This isn't because the PlayStation 2 is a bad console, nor is it because you can't upgrade the hardware in a PS2 without bringing it out of designer specifications. No, a lot of that weakness is because of the limitations to what you can do with a console game, starting with the interface.

One of the complaints that many people had about FFXIV right from the start was that its interface seemed to assume you had a controller hooked up to your computer. I think it was just a case of an interface designed to serve both computer and console and succeeding at neither, but there was definitely an element of making sure that things were streamlined to the point that your controller could do all the work. Some tasks, like switching pages on your action bars, almost seem as if they'd be easier with a controller than a keyboard.

There's no real way around this. Yes, you can hook a keyboard up to a console or a controller up to a computer, but in the latter case, you're adding a third peripheral when your hands are designed to handle two at most. In the former case, you're adding an accessory to your console for use in an exceptionally small number of games, possibly just the one.

FFXI was designed from the start for play on consoles, which is part of the reason the game has menu-based combat and an inelegant control schematic. FFXIV clearly has caved to some of the ideas of more modern design, but therein lies part of the problem. A glance at the interface screenshots suggests you've got about 16 action buttons on speed-dial. That means that fights have to be designed around playing with 16 abilities on tap because otherwise console players literally won't be able to compete.

You can say that it doesn't affect you on the PC, but part of the reason FFXIV was designed that way was to ensure that console and PC players were on equal footing for using abilities.

Then you've got issues like modifiable interfaces (a plus, but difficult on a console and yet expected if it's in the PC version) and display issues (televisions don't have the resolution of a good monitor, even HD ones), and just playing the game on two systems concurrently becomes a hassle. A manageable one, yes, but one that requires at least twice as much testing. Every update for FFXI has to work on three completely separate systems, and that adds more steps to the testing process and more failure points into an already complex system.


A new order

Introducing the console to the FFXIV playerbase is going to bring some development issues. But it also has at least one major benefit for the game as a whole: making the relaunch stick.

I've talked for a while about how FFXIV needs to win the hearts and minds of many people who have sworn off the game for good. There are a lot of people who have never played the game, but the title is still synonymous with all manner of negative adjectives. It takes some sort of external force to counteract that, something like the launch of the game on a new platform with a whole lot of new and pretty-looking screenshots. You know, the sort of relaunch that really crystalizes the idea that this is a completely new game.

Right now, fantasy games of the sprawling baroque style have a bit of traction with the console audience. And while there are other MMOs available for the PlayStation 3, they're currently all rather niche titles that don't have the brand name visibility of a new Final Fantasy game. Even though the console version alone won't repopulate the game, it will bring in new people, including those who had never paid much attention to it prior to the launch on the console.

That may mean driving more development toward appealing to console players, which means a trend toward more flexible gameplay, but I don't consider that a bad thing. And it's going to mean that there will be a lot of extra hurdles for the development team to jump through with the addition of the new platform, but that was always going to be the case.

As always, feedback is welcome in the comments down below or via mail to eliot@massively.com. Next week, I'm going to poke a bit at the servers being turned back on after the final database copy and what might be worth doing in the game's unsaved period as we approach the deadline.

From Eorzea to Vana'diel, there is a constant: the moogles. And for analysis and opinions about the online portions of the Final Fantasy series, there is also a constant: The Mog Log. Longtime series fan Eliot Lefebvre serves up a new installment of the log every Saturday, covering almost anything related to Square-Enix's vibrant online worlds.

INSIGHT-Murky deals cast doubt over Nigeria's power sell-off

ABUJA (Reuters) - For decades Nigeria has failed to fix chronic electricity shortages that stifle growth and help keep millions in poverty.

That is about change, the government says, when most of the power sector is privatised by the end of the year. Its target is to increase electricity output tenfold to 40,000 megawatts by 2020.

Turning on the lights in a country where power cuts are a daily ordeal could push Nigeria's growth into double digits and help diversify its economy away from oil, which in 50 years has created a super-rich elite but has done little to reduce mass poverty.

Yet since power minister Barth Nnaji resigned in August over an alleged conflict of interest, doubts are gathering about the integrity of the process, as oligarchs with scant experience in running power firms line up for a slice of this lucrative pie.

As with Russia in its 1992-1994 sell off of state assets, it is entrenched political and business elites who look set to win much of Nigeria's power sector, even while Western aid agencies are backing the process with tens of millions of dollars.

The government announced preferred bidders for 10 power distribution firms this week and has approved bids for five power plants, a major step forward. But already the companies who lost out and labour unions have said the process was fraudulent and the results to be scrapped.

The wealthy figures behind the consortia bidding already control vast stakes in Nigeria's economy and political machine, and many of the assets only had one approved bidder each. It is often felt that since the oligarchs have such sway in Nigeria, it is better to have them in the process rather than outside it.

In past Nigerian privatisation efforts, unqualified bidders and political wrangling caused years of legal battles and delays after assets were awarded. Sometimes funds were diverted to people who failed to revive the firms and left debts unpaid.

Nigeria tried to sell former telephone monopoly NITEL for more than 10 years but buyers who won privatisation bids never paid up. After years of legal rows, it remains in state hands.

The stakes are higher for power.

"For a sector being primed for the most comprehensive overhaul in its history, it was perhaps expected that entrenched forces of the ancient regime would not let go without a fight," Nigerian policy analyst Sanya Oni said.

"It is ... the beginning of the long, difficult road."

POWER GODFATHERS

Despite holding the world's seventh largest gas reserves, Nigeria produces less than a tenth of the amount electricity South Africa provides for a population a third of the size.

Some $40 billion has gone into reforms in the last 20 years, says Control Risks, a consultancy, yet power has only improved slightly.

Sorting out this mess would seal President Goodluck Jonathan's legacy.

The Power Holding Company of Nigeria is being sold as six generation firms and 11 distribution companies. A contract for transmission has been given to Canadian firm Manitoba Hydro.

Among the figures angling for a slice of privatised power is billionaire businessman Emeka Offor. His company Chrome Group is the highest bidder for firms in the capital Abuja and Enugu.

Offor made his fortune from government contracts, especially under military dictator Sani Abacha in 1990s.

Between 1999 and 2002, Chrome Group worked on a $100 million contract for maintenance on Nigeria's Port Harcourt oil refineries, in Africa's biggest oil industry. They have operated at just 30 percent capacity since, and the state oil firm has said the work was not done properly.

"The turnaround maintenance was successfully completed and duly handed over to Port Harcourt Refining Company," Chrome Group spokeswoman Val Oji wrote in an email, with the relevant completion certificates attached, when asked about it.

Global Witness, a UK-based watchdog, investigated Offor's Seychelles-registered oil firm Starcrest in February. It said it won an oil block in 2006, then within months signed Swiss firm Addax on as 'technical partner' for a $35 million fee.

That deal left Starcrest with a big minority stake, and Addax, the firm with the expertise to produce the oil, paid a $55 million signature bonus. Offor told the NGO that Nigeria's financial crimes commission had cleared Starcrest of wrongdoing.

The deal resembles arrangements common in Nigeria, in which a company run by a local oligarch 'partners' with a foreign firm with the know how, and takes a cut.

Industry sources say power privatisation is going on in the same way, which will make it slow and costly, even if it does finally turn the lights on.

Oji cited two transmission lines completed in the northern state of Gombe in 2010 as evidence Chrome had relevant experience.

OTHER PLAYERS

Another powerful figure lining up is General Abdulsalami Abubakar, who was military ruler for a year after Abacha's death in 1998. He chairs Integrated Energy, which has the preferred bid for electricity distribution companies in Yola, Ibadan and the two covering the commercial capital Lagos.

Local press have reported that former military dictator Ibrahim Babangida, one of the most powerful 'godfathers', is putting his weight behind the North South Power Company, the only consortium approved to bid on the Shiroro plant.

A spokesman for Babangida, Kassim Afegbua, however denied that he was "involved in any power company at all".

Bola Tinubu, former Lagos governor of Lagos and undisputed godfather of Nigeria's commercial hub, is backing Oando's bid for a distribution company servicing the south, including Lagos. Oando, run by his nephew Wale, is an oil and gas company, but it has made small inroads into power.

It set up the Akute Power company to develop a 12.15 MW power station that now services a Lagos water plant.

Tony Elumelu's Transnational Corporation, which owns, amongst other things, The Hilton hotel in Abuja, is a preferred bidder for the Ugheli thermal power plant.

"None of these guys has much of a background in power. They can't do it alone. They need partners," said Bismarck Rewane, CEO of Lagos-based consultancy Financial Derivatives.

Some do have them. Yet globally respected power companies like AES, Essar and Schneider Electric who showed an initial interest in buying assets in 2010 decided not to join up with Nigerian partners and bid.

Others involved in bids, including Arumemi Johnson, the chairman of airline Arik Air, and billionaire oil magnate Femi Otedola, were banned last month by the central bank from borrowing money due to unpaid debts -- poor financing is a key risk to the long-term success of power projects, as the government estimates the industry needs $10 billion a year.

Otedola repaid his debt days after the ban was announced.

"In the history of privatisation in this country, the common wealth has largely ended in the hands of senior government officials and their cronies and kin," wrote Mohammed Haruna in The Nation on Wednesday. "Unless the authorities ... guarantee integrity, their privatised offspring can only bring more pain."

"LACKING TRANSPARENCY"

U.S. and British aid agencies are overseeing this process.

Britain's Department for International Development (DFID) pays 200,000 pounds a year for some embedded consultants who also have strong political ties, a source who has worked on one of the power projects they fund said.

A DFID spokesman told Reuters they had helped to make the privatisation "as transparent as possible". DFID has spent 21 million pounds since 2007 on the power sector. Since then, generation has risen by roughly 1,000 megawatts, according to Nigerian government data. Yet tens of thousands are needed.

"An independent review ... concluded that a substantial part of the increase in power supply would not have occurred without ... these expert advisers," the DFID spokesman said.

No new minister was appointed after Nnaji resigned on August 28 over allegations he was involved in Geometric, one of the firms bidding. DFID openly funded Nnaji's office throughout, even though it was public knowledge that he has a stake in Geometric.

"The irony for donors is that they stand accused of helping to fuel the very practices they aim to combat .... lending credibility to a process they should have known to (be) lacking in transparency," said Antony Goldman, head of PM consulting.

Nnaji was seen as a technically competent minister, but a power ministry source says he did not get on with Vice President Namadi Sambo, the man with the most influence over the sector.

Sambo is head of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP), which has the final say on which firms make it through the bidding process. He also manages the National Independent Power Projects, a state-run scheme to build ten power plants set up eight years ago that has swallowed up $20 billion of government funds but left only four plants producing power.

Sahelian Power, the sole approved bidder for a distribution firm serving northern Nigeria's main city of Kano, has close ties with Sambo, a northerner, a power ministry official said.

He also noted that the only distribution company judged by the body Sambo chairs to have had no technically qualified bidders was in Sambo's own home state.

Sambo did not respond to a request for comment. He has publicly said does not own any firms bidding.

Many Nigerians say there is still grounds for optimism.

A senior power sector official said it was "inevitable" that those with political backing would be behind the bids. "That's just Nigeria," he said, but he added: "If they are supported by technically capable companies then does it really matter?"

It may not matter in the case of, say, Abubakar. The retired general is no power expert but Integrated Energy has partnered up with the Philippines' largest power retailer Manila Electric on a series of bids for state assets.

If all bids can find competent foreign partners like this, the process could yet get the lights to work, analysts say.

These men with big bucks may also have been the only people willing to take on the financial risk at this stage, starting with a minimum bid bond of $2 million, said Kayode Akindele, partner at Lagos-based financial adviser 46 Parallels.

Besides, in Nigeria, where nothing happens without the oligarchs, getting them involved may be the easiest option.

"It helps to have powerful interests part of the process," Akindele said. "Rather than outside, working against it."

Peace Corps Service and Finding a Partner in Honduras ? Lesbian ...

- Erica Brien and Camila Fiero, RPCVs

Erica and Camila at Boston Pride

Erica?s Story:
Being openly gay as a Peace Corps Volunteer was, for me, impossible. I lived in a community of 300-people in the mountains of Comayagua, Honduras. Upon my arrival, I spent days visiting the homes and getting to know the families that lived in them. I was given incredible amounts of coffee, what amounted to loaves of sweet-bread, hundreds of tortillas and plenty of beans. When I left these homes to head back to my host-family?s home, I was given freshly-laid eggs to take with me. As time went on, I spent the majority of my days in my small town simply getting to know these people. They opened up to me. We talked about so many things. I remember having discussions about the meaning of life, the truth of an inevitable death, the importance of family, love and the many existences of god. We obviously talked about the state of the community, the hopes people had for the future. We would talk about the world and where it is headed. Families would invite me over to make bread or tamales, depending on the time of year. Through all of this, I can truly say that I grew close to many of my community members. However, nonetheless, there was one thing that I knew we could never talk about, one thing they could never know: my sexuality.

The people in my community took religion very seriously. All families belonged to either the Catholic Church or the Evangelical Church, and being gay was a horrible sin. There was one openly gay man of 24 years, who I will call Tio, who at times I would verbally defend when I heard other people criticize him. I?d say simple things like, ?It?s okay that he is gay. It doesn?t make him a bad person.? After defending him, I would be asked by various community members to step aside to have private conversations. They would tell me, ?Erica, I heard that you defended Tio, but love is between a man and a woman. You can not defend this boy for committing such a sin.?

After a trip home for the summer, I returned to my community with a new hair-cut. It was short. The Evangelical pastor, a woman who invited me frequently to her house for dinner with the family, told me she would have to pray for my soul because I went against God?s will; women are supposed to have long hair. These incidents made me realize the impossibility of being completely honest within my community. No matter how welcoming and friendly the people of my community were, no matter how fond of me they had grown to be, if I told them that I was a lesbian, I truly believe that my work would have ended right there. No one would have wanted to work with me. People would have closed up. I had to pretend I was straight. As a straight person, people accepted me. I was able to work with their kids. I was able to build great relationships, and I will say that in the end, it was worth it. For me, it was worth it to be in the closet for two years. It was worth it to sacrifice a certain part of me in order to truly make the most of a meaningful experience. However, to be able to say that I could have had the same experience as an openly gay person within a culture that does not understand the truth of human-sexuality would be na?ve and a lie.

Camila?s Story:
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, I was never explicitly told to lie about my sexual orientation. Instead, I was asked to understand the culture and community I was trying to become a part of. It was more difficult than I had anticipated. Although I am from the Mid-West and have very traditional parents, I had spent the last four years at a small liberal arts college in Massachusetts and had finally learned to be proud of my sexual orientation. Thus, Honduran culture, for me, was especially difficult as it is steeped through and through in machismo and intense patriarchy. At the same time, the generosity and amiability of the people almost make up for it. About six to seven months into my service I had to be site changed from my mountain community of 300 people to a larger ?rural city? community further south. A community partner had displayed some bizarre behavior that made me feel outed within the community. Thus, I felt I had to leave because the rumor mill would stop short anyone who was at one time willing to work with me. I also felt unsafe. I remember that night before I was set to leave, and I was fighting visions of people busting through my front door with the idea of ?corrective rape.? I don?t personally know of any of these cases happening in Honduras, instead, people would just get killed.

In my new community I felt extremely cautious. I was constantly analyzing myself. Eventually, I got settled in and made a few close friends. I worked with a local Honduran environmental NGO and worked with other volunteers on environment classes, HIV/AIDS classes, and improved stoves projects. However, I never told any Hondurans about my orientation. Miraculously, Erica and I started dating, and I say miraculously because we never considered dating one another until it happened. We were both in the Protected Areas Management Group, which has since been cancelled and lumped together with the Business Program. Sadly, there are no current programs that have a specific goal of addressing issues such as loss of biodiversity and environmental education. We were about one year into our sites when I would go visit Erica and she would come visit me, taking turns doing the 8-hour bus ride. We both feel that we looked somewhat innocent since close friendships between females are not unheard of or frowned upon. Yet, we had no time to confirm or disprove our notions because we were evacuated about seven to eight months before our official completion of service.

The day before I left I came out to my closest friend in my community. She said she already knew and knew within the first month of meeting me! I was surprised and sad that I missed out on a deeper more honest relationship with her because I was afraid. Yet, the real tragedies are the thousands of individuals that are beaten, murdered, and subjugated because of who they love. Honduras has seen an increase in violent hate crimes, although reporting is spotty on the subject. Also, with a friend, we re-started the LGBTQ support group for volunteers in Honduras and were starting to make connections with Honduran ?clubs? or support groups. Yet, that too was cut short. There has been straight forward reporting on exactly why the program was cut short: Peace Corps could no longer guarantee our safety due to the ever-escalating drug war. We have since called back to friends in Honduras who have said the situation has only gotten worse, violence is spreading and rural communities are cut off from the larger cities because the roads are too dangerous.

In the end, I think your service is what you make of it. I am proud and happy with my time spent in Honduras. However, I would caution that one shouldn?t expect to be out and shouldn?t expect understanding.

Erica Continues:
It is hard to say if people in my community ever grew suspicious of the relationship I had with Camila. She came to visit me at my site more consistently than any other volunteer. And while we tried very hard not to seem suspicious within my small-community, there were times when I questioned certain comments made by my community members. Was it all in my head? Maybe. Maybe not. I remember taking Camila to my host family?s house where my host mother gave us coffee and tried to convince me to date the family?s cousin who recently came from out of town. My host-mother would describe how nice of a man he was, and how he is different than most men. Camila would play along, saying things like, ?wow, he sounds like a catch? as she would throw me a mischievous smile. Camila even took a picture of this man and me standing together outside of my host family?s home. They thought it was essential to our future together. When Camila and I would return back to my house, hiding behind the privacy of closed doors, we would talk about the same questions that today we still ponder, such as how much does ?respect? and being ?culturally? sensitive turn into tolerating intolerance? What is our role as queer Peace Corps Volunteers and allies in educating around sensitive subjects such as sexual orientation? How are we to facilitate change if we, ourselves, are doing our very best to uphold cultural norms? These are the questions we would like to leave with you.

Police: Man talked to 'Dr. Phil' before confessing

HOUSTON (AP) ? A man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend in Houston and then driving hundreds of miles to dump her body in a West Texas oil field taped an interview about the case with the "Dr. Phil" show two days before confessing to investigators, police said Monday.

Mark Augustin Castellano, a 37-year-old computer technician, has been charged with murder in the Sept. 22 death of 31-year-old Michelle Warner.

Houston Det. Fil Waters said Castellano initially told investigators that Warner had run out on him and their 3-year-old son. Her family later reported her missing to police.

Castellano, who was staying with his son at his parents' home in Odessa in West Texas, had kept in contact with police and agreed to return to Houston on Sunday to speak with investigators. During a two-hour interview, Castellano told investigators he killed Warner after an argument in their apartment in which he grabbed her by the throat and apparently snapped her neck, Waters said.

Waters said Castellano also indicated he had taped an interview for the "Dr. Phil" show on Friday.

"I thought he was kidding, but it was the real deal," Waters said. "He talks to Dr. Phil, provides Dr. Phil as I understand it, with the same information he's been providing everyone else."

In a brief statement, Stacey Luchs, a spokeswoman for the "Dr. Phil" show said, "Mr. Castellano sat down for an interview with Dr. Phil in Texas just before his confession to law enforcement, late last week. Dr. Phil also conducted an interview with Ms. Warner's family for this show, which is currently scheduled to air on Thursday."

The statement did not say what Castellano talked about during his interview.

He is scheduled to have his initial court appearance on Tuesday. Court records did not list an attorney for him.

Waters said Castellano told investigators his son was in the apartment when he killed Warner but did not witness the slaying. Afterwards, Castellano drove his son to this parents' home before returning to Houston for Warner's body, the detective said. He put it in a plastic container, placed that in Warner's car and then drove back to Odessa.

"He spends a day and a half trying to figure out what he is going to do with Michelle. She, in the meantime, is in the backseat of the car, which is parked at his parents' house," Waters said. He added that Castellano's parents didn't know Warner's body was in the car outside their home.

Eventually, Castellano decided to take the body to nearby Midland, where he dumped it in a ditch in an oil field, covering it with some dirt.

"His comment was, 'I didn't really try to hide her. I'm surprised you all haven't found her already,'" Waters said.

Odessa police and FBI agents found the body. An autopsy is pending to confirm Warner's identity and determine the cause of death.

"Had he not confessed, we would still be stuck," Waters said. "His timeline was plausible. We had no physical evidence. We had our suspicions."

The couple had a history of fighting, he said.
