Zuma Takes Over As Mediator

There is renewed optimism that Zimbabwe's on and off coalition government will be rescued after a regional body asked South African President Jacob Zuma to step in as the new facilitator.

Mr Zuma effectively replaces his predecessor Mr Thabo Mbeki who helped broker the historic power sharing agreement on September 15 last year, leading to the formation of an inclusive government in February.

But Mr Mbeki was criticised for being soft on President Robert Mugabe with some of the Zimbabwean parties publicly declaring that they no longer had confidence in his mediation.

Dead Man Attends Own Funeral

In a southern Brazilian town, a man that had been involved in a car crash was identified by family members as 59-year-old Ademir Jorge Goncalves. The family scheduled his funeral for the 2nd of November, which coincidentally happened to be a Brazilian holiday when loved ones who have passed away are remembered, Dia de Finados.

What the Goncalves' family did not know was that Ademir had spent the night drinking in a bar near the site of the crash, but he was not the victim. When Ademir got word about his funeral he decided that he would go make an appearance. The sight of Ademir alive shocked relatives, some of whom tried to jump out of the windows of the funeral home. "In my 10 years in this business, I have never witnessed a scene like this," said Natanael Honorato, manager of the funeral home in the Parana state.

Later that day, the mystery was solved when a family in a neighboring town came inquiring about a son who was missing. The family recognized the body -- and took it away for burial.

Social networks and kids: How young is too young?

Status updates, photo tagging and FarmVille aren't just for adults or even teenagers anymore.

Researchers say a growing number of children are flouting age requirements on sites such as Facebook and MySpace, or using social-networking sites designed just for them. 

Facebook and MySpace require users to be at least 13. But they have no practical way to verify ages, and many young users pretend to be older when signing up.
Some scientists worry that pre-adolescent use of the sites, which some therapists have linked to Internet addiction among adults, could be damaging to children's relationships and brains.

Bolt and his cheetah "Lightning Bolt"

Now that the New York City Marathon has ended we can all go back to doing what we do normally: obsess over Usain Bolt. The Lightning has been taking a break from JA to hang out in Kenya for a few days, where he has “already impressed local children with his football skills, and become an honorary Maasai warrior,” according to the BBC, further proving he is our second most admired jedi knight/sensai/dream date slightly after Barack Obama. But Bolt’s moved up like 18 notches on our list after his recent adoption of A. Baby. Cheetah… as part of a conservation effort focusing on sustaining the environment in Africa via the Long Run, a new campaign he is launching.

Appropriately, he christened the cheetah “Lightning Bolt,” and we immediately began singing the Vybz Kartel verse “BOLT / LIGHTNING BOLT,” weirding out our coworkers for the 49th time today. Watch a dubiously edited YouTube of Bolt “beating” a less adorable cheetah in a race after the jump.

Zuma Wants Benni McCarthy Back In Bafana

According to Goal.com, South African president Jacob Zuma, who was speaking at the 65th anniversary celebration of the ANC Youth League in Johannesburg at the weekend, called for Benni McCarthy to be brought back into the national team.

The event was also used to celebrate South Africa's World Champion medalists Caster Semenya, Khotso Mokoena and Mbulaeni Mulaudzi.

Zuma, according a report on SABC, said the country has a strong national team that will do South Africans proud at the 2010 World Cup.

He reiterated that striker McCarthy should be recalled to the Bafana Bafana team.

The president's comments follow the reappointment of Carlos Alberto Parreira as the country's seventeenth coach since being readmitted in world football in 1992.

Zuma like Youth League president Julius Malema also prefers a local coach to improve the standard of soccer in South Africa.

Music Used to Torture Suspected Terrorists.

It's no Jack Bauer tactic but recently it has come to light that some popular musicians' songs are being used to torture Guantanamo Bay detainees. A document released by the American National Security Archive names music from 35 artists or popular theme songs. Some of the named musicians are Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Limp Bizkit, Metalicca, Pink, Prince, Queen, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Redman and Tupac Shakur.

The artists named in this document are not by any means the only musicians whose work is being used to extract terrorist information from suspected detainees. A coalition of artists, including R.E.M and Pearl Jam also want to know if their music is being used. The artists have endorsed a series of Freedom of Information Act requests filled against the U.S. government to declassify documents that would reveal more names of artists whose music is being used as a means of torture. In the past, several former Guantanamo detainees have filed lawsuits against the U.S. government, saying they were tortured with numerous techniques, one of which was the the constant playing of loud music.

One cannot imagine being forced to listen to the likes of Britney Spears all day, everyday... It might be the true embodiment of torture.

While a kenyan gay couple marry, Ugandans have a different view !!

While the world witnessed a kenyan gay couple marry in London, the situation in Uganda is rather different. A recent bill tabled by a prominent member of parliament, is quite interesting!!

The Bill introduced by Ndorwa West MP David Bahati would see a death penalty imposed on anyone engaged in gay sex, or when the accused is HIV-positive.

Homosexuality is illegal in Uganda. “This draft bill is clearly an attempt to divide and weaken civil society by striking at one of its most marginalised groups,” said Scott Long, the director of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Rights Programme at Human Rights Watch.

But Mr Bahati yesterday insisted the Bill be introduced, saying; “Homosexuality is not a human right at all.”

Hotslice remain neutral in the views presented above.

But despite the fun and the glamour accompanying the unusual wedding’ not everyone is raising a glass to the happy couple. The marriage has raised a storm among Kenyan residents in the UK who have described it as ‘unnatural and socially unacceptable’.

Despite widespread condemnations, the couple was ‘happy and very much in love’. “Chege and Ngengi are in love, and they have decided to ‘publicly declare their love.

Man Fired Because He voted for Obama

And now he is in court filing a wrongful-firing suit against his ex employer. The president of a Midwest office supply company is fighting claims that he sent out an email that basically stated: Vote for Obama and you are fired. The ex employee is claiming that the email was not a joke and his dismissal was a direct result of his preferred choice for president during the last presidential elections held last year.

The case against the employer is strong as "Exhibit A" is the email it self. Some of the controversial content in the email was as follows:

Notice to all Employees... As of November 5, 2008, IF President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness: ... The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating for your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can pay the mortgage. If you appeal directly to our democratic congress, you might even get a free TV screen and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair) !!!

Go here to read the entire shockingly outrageous email!

Do you want to give your complaint directly to Zuma? Here is the number to Call

On the first day of its operation Monday this week the hotline has received 7 261 calls from 9am to noon. This equates to about 2 420 an hour or 40 calls a minute."

The 40 call centre agents had been fielding the calls in all 11 official languages, spending between 15 and 20 minutes on a call.

The agents routed the complaints to the public liaison offices in the presidency, national departments and provinces, said Mona.

He said the call centre, with the toll-free number 17737, would spend the next few weeks ironing out teething problems, "with a view to having a fully functional service by the end of the month".

Zuma took two calls himself on Monday morning.

"President Zuma took a call from a distressed citizen from Mount Frere in the Eastern Cape who complained about ill-treatment that she had received at her local Magistrate's Court. The caller's husband passed away in 2006 and she has been trying to access his pension and has experienced problems.

"President Zuma also took a call from a gentleman from Ekurhuleni North, Benoni, who highlighted his disappointment that his area has been experiencing sewerage leakages for months on end without the municipality resolving the matter."

Think this is the coolest idea ever, well done Jay Z [source]
