On Monday February 11, Mr. Bernard Manu, wrote a piece posted on Ghana web with the caption Much ado about Rawlings". He raised several interesting points which, I believe, require far more thoughtful analysis than the feeble attempt by the author. First and foremost, those of us who are seeking justice for the many victims of Rawlings are not on a warpath to "pull him down-PhD", as Mr. Manu puts it. No one is pulling Mr. Rawlings down. We are demanding a measure of justice for the thousand of victims who met their ultimate fate in the wake of Rawlings' misguided junta. Rawlings and his men massacred thousands of Ghanaians with impunity. Remember that some of those generals, who were massacred by Rawlings' AFRC thugs, had constitutional protection from any prosecution. Their constitutional protection meant very little to their murderous intentions.

Misadventures in Atlanta

I will probably go to a Super Bowl party in Alpharetta. The host added a twist to donate items/money for a great cause, so it's a win-win. As long as the screen is big, I'm happy.

Hansen: Criminal past isn't deal-killer at I-80 Re-entry Job Fair

At least 25 companies set up tables on the ground floor for 400 job-seekers. There were local big dogs like Pioneer Hi-Bred, Vermeer and Bankers Trust. There were little guys like Advance Asphalt and Seibert Trucking. There were chains like Arby's, Manpower and O'Reilly Auto Parts. There were social service agencies serving as sponsors with Iowa Workforce Development, Federal Probation and Parole, and the Iowa Department of Corrections.

There were tables for filling out applications. There was a sign above one table that said "Public Records Checked While You Wait."

There was an interview room and a clothes closet for anyone who needed more starch. Some of the job hunters wore jackets and ties. Some wore jeans and tattoos.

A group from the Mitchellville women's prison wore blue prison-issue work scrubs, passed out resumes and made contacts for later.

Woman returns $15,000 found in road

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) - Linda Harwood seems to have a knack for finding lost cash. She was driving on Route 3 in Plattsburgh, New York, earlier this week when she spotted a bag in the middle of the road. It was a bank-deposit bag containing $15,000 in cash. She turned the bag in to Plattsburgh police, who tracked down the bank and the money's owners, a local scrap metal business. An employee says she believes she placed the bag on top of her car during a stop at a local hardware store and drove off with the bag still on the roof. Harwood says returning the money was simply the right thing to do. She says a few years ago she found a pocketbook filled with money in a parking lot. Harwood mailed it back to Vermont woman who had lost it.

Poll puts Zapatero ahead (but don't tell the Spanish)

In private though, Socialist Party officials worry that the high rate of immigration in the past few years could cost it votes on Sunday. Spain’s once-dwindling population has jumped from 40 million to 45 million since 2000, boosting the economy but creating tensions in working-class, urban areas, where many immigrants have settled.

Mr Zapatero swept to power unexpectedly four years ago on a wave of public anger over the previous Government’s handling of the Madrid train bombings, which killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800.

7 Questions for Cutting-Edge Game Developer Kellee Santiago

Neither Jenova nor I came to USC thinking we were going to develop video games. My background was theater. It wasn’t until we were both in the Interactive Media masters program that we became inspired to make games. A couple of our professors have an inspiring philosophy of play-centric game designs—using games to communicate emotions and stories in different ways. How is that different from more traditional gaming? Game makers know how to make people feel excited. They know how to make them feel cool, how to make them feel frustrated and challenged. Those are four emotions in a huge spectrum of human emotions. Look at the way people respond to other mediums, like film, literature and TV. They talk about how something makes them feel—"This movie was really sad," or "That was a powerful moment." Games today are more feature-based.

A geek’s trip to Capitol Hill on Network Management

Melvin Ammori, General Counsel, Free Press David Burstein, Editor, DSLPrime George Ou, Editor at Large, ZDNet Haruka Saito, Counselor for Telecom, Embassy of Japan Christopher S. Yoo, Professor of Law and Communications, University of Pennsylvania

Christopher Yoo - After a brief introduction by Scott Wallsten who explained that the order of the presentations will be reverse alphabetical order, Christopher S. Yoo kicked off his presentation. Professor Yoo explained that networks, like roads, aren't built for everyone to use them at the same time. Yoo gave the example that if a person wants to know how fast he can travel on a freeway, he wouldn't know until he got there because we can't predict exactly how many other people will be on the road at the same time. Yoo explained the difficulty in projecting network capacity and that we can't always be right when determining whether more capacity or network management was the answer.
