| Aggreko set to take advantage of South African power crisis
Aggreko stole a march on its competitors a couple of weeks ago when it flew in its Africa specialist Andy Walker to address the African Mining Industry Indaba (get-together) in Cape Town," commented one leading broker. "He warned of a looming power crisis and caught the attention of delegates representing more than 700 individual companies who now see the Scottish company as their first port of call." Chief executive Rupert Soames is to deliver an update on the South Africa position on Tuesday when he is due to reveal a buoyant set of annual figures as a result of strong demand from other developing nations in Asia and South America as well as Africa. Most analysts now believe annual pre-tax profits will show a near 50% increase to around £125.5 million and say that the group's Dubai-based International Power division will account for at least 60% of the total.
East Jordan residents deliver message of discontent to commissioners
I am sorry to all those that I called names and made fun of in my last blog. This is how I really feel. Mrs. Moes is doing a great job!!! I think that we do need to get rid of the police department. I think after she takes care of them then she should run for county commissioner then get rid of the sheriff's department. Then we can get the ball rolling and Mrs. Moes can be the next Govenor of this fine safe state. Then she could cut the state police and the only thing that we'll have to worry about is getting raped and killed. Then all of the victims can thank Govenor Moes. Once again Mrs. Moes keep fighting the good fight. Stay strong and do not let peoples personal safety get in the way. " .
Clinton Courts Hispanic Vote in the West
Every single person deserves a shot at the American dream. That is why I'm running for president." Clinton, reinvigorated after an unexpected win in New Hampshire's primary last week, has spent the last three days courting the crucial Hispanic vote in Nevada, which holds presidential cacuses Jan. 19, and in California, the biggest prize on Feb. 5 when more than 20 states hold presidential contests. In Nevada, where one in four residents is of Hispanic or Latino descent, Clinton's push is no surprise. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson spent more time courting Nevada Hispanics than any other candidate. His departure from the race puts much of the Hispanic vote up for grabs. "Si, se puede," supporters cheered her at a union hall with New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez and former Cabinet secretary Henry Cisneros in tow.
Hot-rod movies – offshoot of custom-car craze
Probably not, to judge from the long-running parallels between custom cars and Hollywoods more sensational extremes. These often are forced onto a collision course by an increasingly fast-and-loud pop-music industry and the popular desire to see automobiles jazzed up beyond their factory-fresh appearance. The interest still surfaces, notably in Universal Pictures The Fast and the Furious series of 2001 and onward, with a third sequel in preparation for 2009. But custom-car movie buffs with long memories are likelier to associate that title with 1955s original The Fast and the Furious an outcropping of a much larger craze. The hot-rod movie backfire might be traced as distantly as 1947s The Devil on Wheels a purported moral-lesson picture, wallowing in the excesses of antisocial misconduct that it professes to condemn.
Mark Steyn: Even Buckley's spy novels saw things right
Like John O'Sullivan, I'm currently traveling in Europe and spent [Wednesday, Feb. 28]being asked wherever I went about Bill Buckley. He is an heroic figure to many because he was right about the great question of the second half of the 20th century at a time when far too many in the West thought it boorish and vulgar to be: As a character in one of his last novels tells a self-regarding liberal, "The kind of people who have offended you since you were at college are the people who won the Cold War." Bill was not a shrill man about politics, but he had a consistent moral clarity. Not long ago, we had a lunch a deux and spent most of it chatting about spy fiction. His Blackford Oakes novels had just been reissued, and Bill was talking of how he'd created Blackie as an antidote to the John Le Carre ethos, in which there's no good, there's no bad, there's just shades of gray and total moral equivalence between east and west, and thus between their respective warriors at the KGB and in the western intelligence agencies.
