Men's Issues ? Overcome It Quickly

by EllenHorace on February 28, 2012

When seeing all the adverts and articles about medicine like Cialis the very first thing you think about is in fact the problem these medications are aimed at dealing with ? erectile dysfunction. This problem has been round because the daybreak of civilization like quite a few different well being problems. And like with other conditions there have been numerous makes an attempt to seek out an efficient answer to it. However since this can be a fairly delicate matter that wasn?t discussed like every other well being problems, those suffering from it have been forced to remain silent, which of course did not do any good for the attempts to find a solution. That?s why for centuries there was no real treatment possibility for erectile dysfunction and even the condition itself wasn?t labeled as a well being drawback until the twentieth century.

With the arrival of Viagra in 1998 individuals have began trying in another way on the problem of male impotence. It was now not a taboo and have become a standard topic for discussion in the media like another health issue. More than a decade later there?s a set of medicine that can be selected for treating erectile dysfunction and Cialis is by far the best of them all. However how do these drugs work and why they?re thought to be a revolution in men?s health?

The most common misconception that the majority medical doctors of the past have shared regarding erectile dysfunction is that erection is immediately related to a person?s libido. If there?s no erection, because of this the person?s libido is low and he doesn?t want to have sex. With the intention to overcome this drawback there have been a whole lot of aphrodisiacs developed starting from merely unique to completely bizarre. What they did not realize is that a man can have a robust sexual need whereas being unable to specific it bodily through an erection.

Medicine like Cialis are by far the most effective resolution to the issue of erectile dysfunction. In fact, there are other choices obtainable, together with surgery, hormonal remedy, injections and even prosthetic implants. However in comparison with the simplicity of taking a small pill and having fun with great sex for 36 hours like within the case of Cialis, these means are in fact inferior and redundant.

What Cialis, Viagra and Levitra make is that they stimulate the blood circulation within the penile area, making the individual taking them able to have a robust and sturdy erection that?s adequate to their sexual desires. These medication won?t change your libido and make you wish to have sex more than you usually do. They just show you how to be prepared for it when the moment is right without worrying about being too soft. Communicate to your physician about taking Cialis and see if this effective drug might help you get sturdy and durable erections for the right romantic occasions.

Gail Simmons says smart, fun food TV is the future (omg!)

MIAMI BEACH, Florida (AP) ? Between all the nightmarish kitchens and warring cupcakes, the throwdowns and the innumerable quickfires, is there really any untrodden terroir left for reality food TV?

Gail Simmons thinks so, but admits that making it fly with viewers won't be easy

Food television has done so much to bring non-foodies to the table, said Simmons, a judge on Bravo's "Top Chef" and host of the network's spinoff show, "Top Chef: Just Desserts." The challenge for both the food and entertainment industries now is to do something positive with that.

"Now we've got them eating, we've got them talking about food, we've got them wanting to cook and wanting to go out more and recognizing chefs and recognizing how much great work they do, now we can sort of educate them on what they're actually eating," Simmons said Saturday during an interview at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival.

Simmons said the next step in the evolution of reality food television will be providing programing that educates people about the connections between food and the many problems facing the country, from education to poverty to hunger.

"I would like to think that is where we could go with it," said Simmons, whose recently released book, "Talking with My Mouth Full," chronicles her rise in the world of food television.

"The problem is, and this is always the truth, television is entertainment. It's about entertainment. It needs to be fun. It needs to be an escape. So how do you make smart TV about food that is also really fun and interesting and that you can get people excited about? That's kind of my dream about what I'd like to do."

New Bill Will Degrade Special Education in Wisconsin ? Larry ...

Following is a call by the parent group I Love My Public Schools.

SPECIAL NEEDS VOUCHERS BILLS ARE BEING FAST-TRACKED NOW IN MADISON. DISABILITY GROUPS CONTINUE TO OPPOSE MODIFIED BILLS ?? CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS NOW!

New education bill AB110?takes?funding for special-education services and educators from public schools, allows voucher schools to hire non-certified special-education teachers and services, and does not provide suitable?funding to address the needs of moderately to severely disabled students.?Skip to the bottom of this message for a call to action, or keep reading for more details on this fast-tracked legislation. AB 110?degrades?the quality of special education for students in public and voucher schools.

Background: This past fall, AB110 was introduced in the Wisconsin Assembly. During the public hearing, all disability groups in Wisconsin opposed the bill. Legislators from both sides of the aisle recognized that this bill would not pass.?Rep. Litjens, the sponsor of AB 110, has submitted a rewritten version.?Disability groups in Wisconsin continue to oppose it for?many reasons ??described below. The biggest problem: the bill does not require private schools to have any special educators or related services expertise (e.g.,therapists) on staff. Sen. Vukmir has introduced the same bill in the Senate as SB 486.?AB 110 will be voted on by the Assembly Education committee?TOMORROW @ 10 AM. No testimony is taken during this hearing. Although no official announcement has been made, it looks like SB 486 will have a hearing during the afternoon of Feb. 28th.
The funding mechanism in AB110/SB486?is highly problematic:

  • Wisconsin does not fund special education students on a per pupil basis. AB110 does does, withdrawing per-pupil funding for collectively used services such as teachers, aides and therapists, from public schools, making it more likely that special-education students in public schools will no longer receive the services they need.
  • The bill does not provide a tuition cap: students with moderate to severe needs will not receive a voucher?that?covers?the full cost of their education.

This will have three negative effects:

??????????These students will be unlikely to find voucher schools that will serve them for the amount of their voucher.

??????????The voucher program will likely appeal to families whose children have less complex disabilities, leaving?increasingly underfunded?public schools?with a higher proportion of students?with the most complex needs.

??????????Low- and possibly moderate- income families who seek to attend a private school which has a tuition higher than the voucher amount will be unable to use the voucher, resulting in vouchers simply serving to subsidize families who can already afford to send their children to private school, rather than giving the monetary choice to families who cannot afford to do so.

While disability groups appreciate the reference to implementing the child?s most recent IEP, that reference becomes less relevant the longer the child remains in the private school (which the bill gives them a right to do through graduation or age 21 whichever comes first). In addition, there are no legal rights that go with that obligation. In other words, what happens if the child?s IEP is not implemented? The bill provides no remedy for that. Finally, as pointed in in point 4, below, without special educators on staff, how can parents have any confidence that private schools can actually implement their children?s IEPs?
This new bill does not require private schools to use DPI certified special educators or service providers.

TAKE ACTION! Please contact your member of the Assembly immediately to express your concerns about AB 110. If you do not know who your Assembly member is, you may call:?1-800-362-9472?or go to?www.legis.state.wi.us??Also contact every member of the Assembly Education Committee and tell them why this bill does not meet the diverse needs of special-education students in Wisconsin. You can find a full list of committee email addresses here:?http://legis.wisconsin.gov/w3asp/commpages/IndividualCommittee.aspx?COMMITTEE=Education&HOUSE=Assembly

We will alert you about the Senate Education Committee hearing that is tentatively scheduled for Feb. 28th in the afternoon, when the official announcement comes out. Please attend and testify if you can. If you cannot attend, please submit any concerns you may have to the chair of the committee, Sen. Luther Olsen at:?Sen.Olsen@legis.wisconsin.gov?or if your Senator is on the committee, please contact your Senator. The other Senators on the committee are Senators: Vukmir, Grothman, Darling, Vinehout, Larson and Cullen.
Thank you for your attention and intervention on behalf of ALL Wisconsin children with special-education needs, in ALL Wisconsin schools.

Best,

ILMPS parents

Megaupload co-founder granted bail, New Zealand judge rules he's not a flight risk

After being denied twice, Megupload co-founder Kim Dotcom has been granted bail by a New Zealand judge, who ruled he isn't in fact a flight risk. To date, the court's rationale for keeping Dotcom behind bars has been that he might flee to his native Germany in a bid to avoid extradition to the US, where he stands accused of generating more than $175 million in criminal proceeds through the exchange of copyrighted material. And though prosecutors had previously argued that Dotcom has multiple passports and bank accounts and a "history of fleeing criminal charges," district court Judge N.R. Dawson concluded the risk of him taking off has been overstated. In particular, he noted, Dotcom has a wife, three children and another on the way, and that "the US government has not shown since [his] arrest that he has access to any money." Though he's returning home, so to speak, he's not permitted to enter the mansion where he's been living before his arrest (he'll instead stay in a small house nearby, according to Reuters). While there, he must wear an electronic tracking device on his ankle, and access to the internet (and helicopters!) is forbidden. And that, readers, is where he shall remain -- at least until the extradition hearing begins, likely sometime this summer.

When your left hand mimics what your right hand does: It's in the genes

Monday, February 20, 2012

Further work carried out on mice suggests that this gene plays a part in motor network cross-over. Cross-over is a key factor in the transmission of brain signals, because it allows the right side of the brain to control the left side of the body and vice versa. This research has been published in The American Journal of Human Genetics.

Congenital mirror movement is a rare disease transmitted from one generation to another by dominant inheritance. The affected persons lose the ability to carry out different movements with separate hands: when one hand moves in a certain way, the other hand is "forced" to copy the same movement, even if the person does not wish to do so. So people suffering from this disease are totally incapable of bimanual motor activities, such as piano playing for example. This phenomenon has been observed in children, but generally cleared up spontaneously before the age of 10, no doubt due to maturing of the motoneuron networks. However, in people who are affected by the disorder, the illness starts in early childhood and remains unchanged throughout life.

In 2010, research scientists from Quebec analyzed the genome from the members of a large Canadian family and discovered a gene responsible for the disease. Mutations had been detected in the DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Carcinoma) gene. Following this discovery, the team of researchers and doctors coordinated by Emmanuel Flamand-Roze began to search for mutations in this gene in several members of a French family who were also suffering from congenital mirror movements disease, but without success. "The DCC gene was intact", explained Emmanuel Flamand-Roze. "We thought we were nearly there and instead we had to start searching for mutation in a different gene", he adds.

Using an approach that combines conventional genetic analysis and "whole exome" analysis (a new-generation genetic analysis technique that involves entirely sequencing the important part of the genome), scientists demonstrated that the RAD51 gene was responsible for congenital mirror movement disease in a large French family and went on to corroborate this result using the same techniques on a German family suffering from the same disorder.

"The RAD51 gene was already known to the scientific community as a potential catalyst for certain types of cancer and in problems of resistance to chemotherapy", explains Emmanuel Flamand-Roze. "So we wondered whether it had yet another function that could explain the motor symptoms of CMM disease".

In humans, the motor system is a cross-control system, which means that the left side of the brain controls the motor functions of the right side of the body and vice versa, with the cross-over taking place at the brainstem. While studying the expression of the RAD51 protein during development of the motor system in mice, the research scientists discovered that this gene could be implanted into the cross-over of the motor network that links the brain to the spinal fluid at the brainstem.

This discovery opens up a whole new field of investigation into the development of the motor system and to achieving better understanding of the cerebral mechanisms that control bimanual motricity. It could also shed light on other motricity disorders related to fine movement organization, such as dystonia or certain genetic neurodevelopmental diseases.

Once you?ve sprayed all areas and the surfaces are dry, you can re-attach your seat cushions, or create a new look with updated fabric and enjoy your refreshed kitchen activity center.

Focal point finishes

Lighting fixtures can increase the ambiance to any room ? but replacing them can cost hundreds of dollars. With a little elbow grease, $20 and less than two hours, you can update your existing ones with a more attractive ? and popular ? finish.

Directions: Cover your work area with newspaper and disassemble the fixture. Clean the pieces and tape off areas that don?t need to be painted.

What Homeowners Should Do When the Roof Needs Replacing











Roofing systems are built to withstand weather conditions, but this does not mean that they do not experience damage. There are a lot of things that can cause roofing damage, such as improper installation, harsh weather, lighting, clogged rain gutters, and tree branches. The age of the roof can also have an impact on its strength.

With this said, you should be able to know how to prevent, if not lessen, the damage on your roof. For example, you can trim the tree branches near the roof so that they cannot scratch the material. You can also regularly clean the rain gutters; you can remove the leaves and twigs to prevent clogging.

However, there may come a time when your roof sustains major damage. When this happens, you may have to contact roofing experts to assess the damage on your roof to see whether it can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced. This can help you avoid unnecessary costs. For example, if you had your roof fixed, but it turns out that it needs to be replaced, then just incurred additional expenses.

If you need the replacement roofing Acworth GA roofers offer, immediately contact roofing contractors or home improvement companies; you should not waste any time. With a damaged roof, your protection against the elements is compromised. You can start by asking for recommendations from people you know, like family and friends. They may know reputable roofing companies. If they have had their roofing replaced recently, you can take a look at their roofs to get an idea on what the roofing companies can do for you.

It is helpful if you contact several contractors so that you can compare their prices and services. With this, you will know which services fit your budget. You can ask these companies if you can get a free quotation so that you can also adjust your budget as needed. In getting the replacement roofing Acworth GA contractors offer, you also need to know how long the project will take. This can help you in the area of budgeting too.

There are many advantages of getting the replacement roofing Atlanta home builders offer. First, you are well-protected with a new roof. A new roof also offers good insulation; with this, your home can be more energy-efficient. This helps in lowering utility bills. A new roof can also help increase the value of your home.

Internet Articles Database ? Look At The Small SUV

Copyright ? 2012 Peer Merx

In case you missed it, a revolution has taken place in the automotive industry not just in America but all over the globe during the last few years.

High gasoline prices, high monthly car leases, job lay-offs, busines closings and financial insecurity brought on by rigid politcal views, have reeked havoc on the American consumer and car buyer.

However, the bankruptcy of General Motors, the near collapse of Ford, the sale of Chrysler to Fiat and unending competion from German and Japanese automakers have triggered innovation in the automotive industry. Gone are grandfather?s land yachts, the big Mercurys, the big Fords, the big Lincolns and the big Cadillacs and in their place are the small SUVS with 4 and 6 cylinder engines and 4-wheel and all-wheel drives that are gaining in popularity and in sales.

Despite their size, these small vehicles have a lot of innovation, luxury and sophisticated hi-tech gadgetry that make them very appealing to family oriented buyers. Just about every small SUV on the market has, as an optional choice and in some cases as standard equipment, GPS systems, satellite radios, blue tooth connection capabilities, hand-less telephone capabilities and luxurious interiors with three-seat and five passenger capacity. High gasoline prices have forced the manufacturers into developing the 4 and 6 cylinder engines that are available on these small SUVS. In turn, these small engines have lead to better gasoline gallons per mile that range from 23 mpg. in the city fior the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander to the 31 mpg. highway for the 2011 Mercury Mariner with the hybrid engine. These new small engines, along with the safety and stability added by the all-wheel and 4-wheel drive, have caught the attention of the family buyer. And, one trend that is definetly in place and bound to grow is the hybrid engine.

Prices ranging from the small, bug-like Nissan hatchback at $19,579 to the Chevrolet Equinox with a $22,000 starting price to the highly-rated 2011 Toyota Rav-4 with a starting price of $33,000 with a 4-wheel drive, 3.5 litre V-6 engine are alsoo appealing to the pocketbooks of the family interested in buying a small SUV. As for actual small suv models reviews,complete product listings and full pricing information, the internet is loaded with this sort of information.

One key piece of information that every buyer should look at is the warranty on both the engine and powertrain. It?s important to know what manufacturer is willing to stand by his product and for how long and for how much?

As many as 300 killed in Honduras prison fire (AP)

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras ? A fire started by an inmate tore through an overcrowded prison in Honduras, burning and suffocating screaming men in their locked cells as rescuers desperately searched for keys. As many as 300 people were killed in the world's deadliest prison fire in eight decades.

The local governor, who was once a prison employee, told reporters Wednesday that an inmate called her moments before the blaze broke out and screamed: "I will set this place on fire and we are all going to die!"

Comayagua Gov. Paola Castro said she called the Red Cross and fire brigade immediately. But firefighters said they were kept outside for half an hour by guards who fired their guns in the air, thinking they had a riot or a breakout on their hands.

Officials have long had little control over conditions inside many Honduran prisons, where inmates have largely unfettered access to cell phones and other contraband.

Survivors told investigators the unidentified inmate yelled "We will all die here!" as he lit fire to his bedding late Tuesday night in the prison in the central town of Comayagua, north of the capital of Tegucigalpa. The lockup housed people convicted of serious crimes such as homicide and armed robbery.

The blaze spread within minutes, killing about 100 inmates in their cells as firefighters struggled to find officials who had keys, Comayagua fire department spokesman Josue Garcia said.

"We couldn't get them out because we didn't have the keys and couldn't find the guards who had them," Garcia said.

Other prisoners were set free by guards but died from the flames or smoke as they tried to flee into the fields surrounding the facility, where prisoners grew corn and beans on a state-run farm.

Rescuers carried shirtless, semiconscious prisoners from the prison by their arms and legs. One hauled a victim away by piggyback.

Comayagua, which houses members of the nation's largest gangs, was built in the 1940s for 400 inmates, but its population had more than doubled to 852, with only 100 guards to maintain order. Unlike U.S. prisons, where locks can be released automatically in an emergency, Honduran prisons are infamous for being old, overcrowded hotbeds of conflict and crime.

Survivor Ever Lopez, 24, who was serving time for homicide, said he was sleeping when the fire broke out about 11 p.m.

"I saw the smoke from cell block 6 and it spread throughout the prison," he said. "The other prisoners and I broke through the roof with our bare hands and fled. Thank God I'm alive."

Officials said 272 people were confirmed dead, but many prisoners were unaccounted for and the death toll could go to 300 or more. Among the dead were six prisoners who drowned after trying to seek refuge in a water tank. There were 852 people in the prison at the time of the blaze.

A prisoner identified as Silverio Aguilar told HRN Radio that he first knew something was wrong when he heard a scream of "Fire! Fire!"

"For a while, nobody listened. But after a few minutes, which seemed like an eternity, a guard appeared with keys and let us out," he said.

He said there were 60 prisoners packed into his cell.

National prison system director Danilo Orellana defended the guards' decision to keep firefighters out as flames lit up the night sky.

"The guards first thought they had a prison break, so they followed the law saying no one could enter to prevent unnecessary deaths," he said.

Honduran President Porfirio Lobo said on national television that he had suspended the country's top penal officials, including Orellana, and would request international assistance in carrying out a thorough investigation.

"This is a day of profound sadness," Lobo said.

Outraged relatives of dead inmates tried to storm the gates of the prison Wednesday morning to recover the remains of their loves ones, witnesses told The Associated Press. The crowds were driven back by police officers firing tear gas.

Channel 5 television showed dozens of inmates' relatives hurling rocks at officers.

"We want to see the body," shouted Juan Martinez, whose son was reported dead. "We'll be here until we get to do that."

Orellana said the convicts were allowed to work outdoors, unlike those held in a maximum-security facility for the country's most dangerous prisoners in the capital, Tegucigalpa.

Located in the middle of irrigated fields and several large ponds, the prison was comprised of eight buildings set close together, with an open, dirt prison yard within a central compound. A single dirt road led into the facility, which has a soccer field on the property.

Honduras has one of the world's highest rates of violent crime, and its overcrowded and dilapidated prisons have been hit by a string of deadly riots and fires in recent years. Officials have repeatedly pledged to improve conditions, only to say they don't have sufficient funds.

Tuesday's blaze was the world's deadliest prison fire since 1930, when 322 prisoners were killed in Ohio.

The U.S. State Department has criticized Honduras for "harsh prison conditions" and violence against detainees.

A 2004 fire at a state prison north of the Honduran capital killed more than 100 incarcerated gang members. A fire a year earlier at a nearby facility killed 70 gang members. And in 1994, a fire sparked by an overheated refrigerator motor in an overcrowded Honduras prison killed 103 people.

Honduran authorities have repeatedly pledged to improve conditions, but human rights groups say little has been done in the country of 7.6 million people, a major transit route for drugs headed from South America to the United States.

"This is a problem that's existed for a long time and the solutions haven't been applied. But now we have to do something even though we don't have the money," Security Minister Pompeyo Bonilla told reporters.

The U.S. sent help from a base at Soto Cano Air Base, about 15 minutes from the prison.

U.S. Military Staff Sgt. Bryan Franks said smoke was no longer visible above the city, and that his team included four vehicles made up of a 10-man medical team, security guards and firefighters.

Hundreds of relatives rushed to Santa Teresa Hospital in Comayagua state to learn the fate of their loved ones, fire chief Leonel Silva said.

Lucy Marder, chief of forensic medicine for the prosecutor's office, said she believed the death toll would rise and it would take at least three months to identify victims, some burned beyond recognition, because DNA tests will be required.

Honduras has 24 prisons, 23 for men or both genders, and one exclusively for women. In December, the total prison population was 11,846 of which 411 were women.

House Speaker Boehner sees payroll tax vote this week (Reuters)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? A tentative deal to renew a payroll tax cut through the rest of this year likely will be finalized and voted on by the House of Representatives by the end of the week, House Speaker John Boehner said on Wednesday.

Representative Kevin McCarthy, the No. 3 House Republican, told Reuters that if a bipartisan negotiating panel signs off on the deal, as is anticipated, there will be enough votes in the House to pass it.

The proposed deal would extend a payroll tax cut for 160 million U.S. workers, extend jobless benefits for millions of others and prevent deep cuts in payments to doctors who treat elderly Medicare patients.

Speaking with reporters following a closed-door meeting of House Republicans, Boehner said, "I do expect, if the agreement comes together -- like I expect it will -- the House should vote this week."

"There is an agreement in principle," Boehner added. "But there are a lot of details that are yet to be worked out. I'm hopeful that will be wrapped up today."

McCarthy noted that traditionally when House and Senate negotiators agree on a deal, it enjoys broad bipartisan support in both chambers.

"If everybody (negotiators) signs it, I would expect it to be able to go through" the House, McCarthy said.

Don't worry, be happy ... in Tucson?

Cityscape of Tucson downtown against mountain range, Arizona.

By Rob Lovitt, msnbc.com contributor

Is winter giving you a bad case of the blues? If so, perhaps you should go to your happy place, which might just be Tucson, Ariz.

In a new study, ?The Old Pueblo? topped a list of the 10 happiest winter travel destinations in the U.S. It was joined, in descending order, by:

  • St. Petersburg, Fla.
  • Charleston, S.C.
  • Napa-Sonoma, Calif.
  • Seattle
  • Los Angeles
  • Palm Springs, Calif.
  • Washington, D.C.
  • Las Vegas
  • Houston

The study was commissioned by Hilton HHonors, the company's loyalty program. Hilton Worldwide, to the surprise of no one, has multiple properties in each destination.

?People are indoors a lot during the winter and Seasonal Affective Disorder [SAD] is prevalent,? said happiness expert Aymee Coget, CEO of the American Happiness Association, who teamed up with Hilton. Travel, she said, can be the antidote to ?the moody blues.?

?Being outdoors helps people be happier,? she told msnbc.com. ?Sunshine helps because of the Vitamin D.?

It?s hardly surprising then that the list is dominated by sunny southern destinations. Selected by Sperling?s Best Places, they were judged in several categories, including relaxation, nature, average winter temperatures and number of sunny days per year.

Those criteria were augmented by more urban amenities, including the number of restaurants and bars, cultural institutions and, for some reason, ice cream shops. We?re not sure of the science involved but do have to admit that a big bowl of Chunky Monkey certainly makes us happy.

The latter set of criteria may also explain how Seattle and Washington, D.C. ? not exactly warm and sunny winter destinations the last time we checked ? made the list.

?It?s not rocket science,? Coget told msnbc.com. ?When you?re having new experiences, you?re happier.?

Good vibes aside, it turns out that there actually is scientific, albeit equally non-aeronautic, evidence that travel, particularly leisure travel, makes you happier. However, according to a 2010 study published in Applied Research in Quality of Life, the biggest boost isn?t generated by the travel per se but rather the anticipation of it.

?People get excited [when planning vacations],? said Coget. ?They?re excited to see this or that person or sit by the pool. It?s a projection of happiness.?

For that reason, both Coget and the scientists in the 2010 study suggest that taking more short getaways may provide a bigger boost than a single, longer vacation will. Presumably, multiple long weekends entail serial planning efforts, which elevates happiness on a recurring basis.

Clearly, more research is warranted but in the meantime, here in the Overhead Bin, we believe quick getaways and week-long trips both have their benefits. After all, why settle for being merely happy when you can enjoy double happiness?

Zambia team returns home after African Cup win (AP)

LUSAKA, Zambia ? With an escort of jet fighters screaming above and tens of thousands of screaming fans on the ground, Zambia's victorious soccer team flew home Monday to a hero's welcome.

The Copper Bullets, or Chipolopolo as the national team is called, descended from the plane to meet ecstatic fans and show off the African Cup of Nations trophy that has eluded the southern African nation for more than 30 years.

"Go Zambia, go!" the crowd roared.

The players were driven off on the backs of army trucks, on roads packed with cheering Zambians, to the showgrounds where speeches and a concert are planned.

Zambia beat favorites Ivory Coast 8-7 on penalties in a nerve-racking upset Sunday at the African Cup finals in Libreville, Gabon.

Many attributed the victory to an amazing team spirit from a crew that fielded only one international player.

Zambia were the underrated underdogs at the African tournament, much like their country, which boasts a thriving democracy, a less-traveled destination for African wildlife and the spectacular Victoria Falls ? along with a booming copper industry that recently catapulted the country to the status of lower middle-income.

First off the plane Monday was Vice President Guy Scott, believed to be the highest-ranking white man in Africa and a sign that Zambia has put behind its colonial past.

Last off was team captain Christopher Katongo, standing between Zambian football association president Kalusha Bwalya and the team's French coach Herve Renard.

It was a bittersweet victory. Last week after arriving for the finals, the Zambian players laid wreaths on a stretch of Libreville beach not far from where a Zambian military plane crashed into the ocean soon after takeoff in 1993, killing 25 players and officials on board.

"By winning the cup we have helped ease the pain of the Zambian people," Katongo declared on his arrival home.

Striker Emmanuel Mayuka said, "I just wanted to finish what they failed to finish," referring to the team that perished.

Bwalya is the only surviving member of that team, escaping the crash because he was flying from Europe.

"The pain of that crash still lingers and we must all remember that those players perished while trying to achieve victory and honor for our beloved country," former President Rupiah Banda declared before he departed with a government delegation Sunday.

The players had vowed to win the 2012 championship to appease the souls of a lost generation of football stars.

Back in 1993, state broadcasters interrupted normal programming to announce the crash in the eight languages spoken in Zambia. In Lusaka, the capital, men and women wept in offices and on the streets.

On Monday, there were only cheers.

Zambians poured out of their houses, clubs and bars to celebrate in the streets early Monday, defying Police Minister Kennedy Sakeni, who said there would be no reason for people to leave their homes to celebrate.

"It is a dream come true," said David Phiri, a plumber. Then he blew hard on his vuvuzela, the piercing trumpet heard around the world during broadcasts from the World Cup in neighboring South Africa in 2010.

Jubilant Zambians also honked the horns of cars draped in their flag, shouted from windows and sang football songs.

"It was written in the stars that we will be the champions," Winfreda Muyunda said breathlessly as she ran out to join a street party that had converged in front of a Lusaka police station.

In the lead-up to the final, Zambians at home and abroad rejected predictions that Ivory Coast would be too strong for their Chipolopolo. Traders have done a roaring business in shirts, scarves, caps and traditional cotton wrappers known as chitenge in national colors, as well as national flags.

At least two planeloads of football fans took off from Lusaka early Sunday for Libreville.

President Michael Sata gave Scott the honor of representing his government at the final. Scott was accompanied by Kenneth Kaunda, who led Zambia to independence from Britain in 1964 and was its president for 27 years, and Sata's predecessor, Banda.

Sata was elected last year in his fourth attempt at the presidency, campaigning as the champion of poor Zambians to oust a party that had held power for 20 years.

His government's first budget doubled the royalties paid by copper mining companies, from 3 to 6 percent.

It also made primary health care free and lifted the tax burden from workers earning less than about $400 a month.

In July, the World Bank raised Zambia's status from a lower-income to a middle-income country, when its per capita annual national income passed the $1,006 barrier.

How To Sell Your House Even Without A Realtor

by arwriter on February 12, 2012

The current real estate market explosion of the Internet will make your job easier if you are thinking ?I should sell my house without a Realtor.?

How to Sell Your House Without a Realtor

You are known as an FSBO seller if you are looking to sell a house without a Realtor. The phase FSBO actually means ?for sale by owner.? FSBO sellers have always existed but in the last few years, they have become much more prevalent due to two primary factors.

Hot Real Estate Market

Making Realtors somewhat irrelevant in many parts of the country is an insanely hot real estate market. For instance, in early 2005, homes in San Diego, California were known to be on the market for less than two weeks on average. When it comes to selling a home including the run down messes, keep in mind that this was the average time it will take. In a market such as this, a lot of homeowners began to wonder why they were paying six percent commissions to a Realtor who didn?t have to do much.

Using the Internet

Over the last three or four years, the creation of FSBO real estate listings sites has exploded. Instead of driving areas with a Realtor, buyers and sellers would often search online for homes as they became more familiar with these sites. Sellers, as a result, would wonder why they should pay a commission of 6 percent to a Realtor when a site like fsboamerica.org only charged $25 a month to list a home on the site. Most of them can?t think of any reason why.

Having No Realtor

Keep in mind that selling your house without a Realtor is one decision that you should carefully make. If you?re comfortable with the selling process, going FSBO makes all the sense in the world. If you?re not comfortable with the negotiating process, then you may want to consider using a Realtor. Ultimately, buying an FSBO book in your local bookstore or even visiting an FSBO site and reading up on what is involved should be your first step.
