From GC Foster to ASAFA POWELL
Jamaica Gleaner – Jun 19, 2005
It was from this initial encounter that Johnson discovered Francis’ passion for athletics and subsequently offered him the job as a coach at the High Performance Centre at the University of Technology. It was in these circumstances that he soon had, not only Powell but Michael Frater, Sherone Simpson and Bridgette Foster under his watch. GC FOSTER VISIONARY, ARCHITECT AND BUILDERWhile Powell is not the first of Jamaica’s home-grown world beaters, he is certainly among the finest to have emerged from a great tradition. This tradition goes back to the first decade of the 20th century and begins with Gerald Claude Eugene Foster who, like Francis, attended Wolmer’s. Foster grew up in a home where sports and physical exercise were a way of life.
G-8 Debt Cancellation Initiative Comes With Conditions; Ghanaian…

Does this overshadow what you’re trying to do on the continent, or is this a parallel track? KUFUOR: It’s what’s – what happened with the debt cancellation, I believe is to reinforce the efforts of Africa. There can’t be any compromise at all on the NPAD. NPAD is home-grown, home-brewed African thing, and it’s standing by itself. The talks of partnerships — and so we would rather see the debt forgiveness from G-8 as indicative of the partnership that the world is accepting to share with Africa. KOPPEL: Let’s talk a little bit about NPAD. KOPPEL: One of the cardinal elements is the peer review that’s involving good governance…
KOPPEL: And so, how will it work? KUFUOR: Well, I don’t know. It’s taking a step in the dark, but I — because we are so committed and so confident that Africa means what it’s trying to do for itself, and — and prepared to face, go and face the music. I hope it will be good music. KOPPEL: So you have no idea what to expect? KUFUOR: Well, yeah, in a way, we have idea, because we’ve opened our doors for the panel of eminent people. As the – a group the African Union set up, of truly eminent and objective people, about seven of them. And the idea is that the countries that submit to an NPAD peer review would open their doors to them. KOPPEL: Open the books? KUFUOR: Open the books, and allow these eminent people, which would come and interact with the entire society, government plus civil society, plus NGOs, plus religious groups, plus even opposition parties and all.
Rights are a game we play as a team
Guardian Unlimited – Jun 19, 2005
Lampard, Rooney, Henry and Shearer are a universal language whether you are in Atlanta, Bangkok, Cape Town, or, it seems, particularly Brussels. So although we are constantly being told the world is getting smaller, it feels very much to me that the Premier League is growing. The attacking style of our game, the passion of the fans, our clubs’ star players (both home-grown and imported) and the simple fact that England is viewed as the home of football has seen the Premier League’s global popularity soar in recent years. Six years ago, we were lagging behind Spain’s La Liga and on level pegging with Italy’s Serie A, but the Premier League has been the most watched domestic league competition for some years now. Currently, we go on the air in more than 195 countries; some 1,400 hours of Premier League action are beamed per week into in excess of 600 million homes. This boom in interest overseas has had a positive impact on the English game. Our clubs sign the finest international playing talent; sponsors come to us looking for global as well as local profile – and the value of our broadcast rights has risen dramatically, almost doubling from £173m to £320m under the terms of the latest three-year deal.
Bush wounded by anger over war
Times Online – Jun 19, 2005
Bush is expected to argue that the insurgents’ terror tactics are aimed at overshadowing the steady progress the coalition is otherwise making in improving Iraqi lives and training local security forces. The president will stress the long-term benefits of succeeding in Iraq and will “accentuate the positive” in at least three speeches in the next two weeks. Conflicting reports about the readiness and future usefulness of the tens of thousands of Iraqis being trained by the coalition to take over security duties have fuelled concern among Republican officials who see a capable home-grown force as America’s only hope for a dignified withdrawal from Iraq. “We always accentuated the positive and never prepared the public for the worst,” complained Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina senator. “People are dying in larger numbers than we thought and the insurgency seems to be growing stronger, not weaker. ” The fact that these words were spoken by a senior Republican is a measure of the challenge facing the president as he seeks to persuade America that it must stick to its task in Iraq.
