Joseph Beats Jackie Chan And Wins Award
Namely the Brillance of China Award 2012. There was a clip on the JT yesterday where TMK had the following to say:

Berenger Has Throat Cancer, Steps Down
As leader of the MMM. For at least three months according to L'Express. And for about three months says Le Mauricien. Ganoo is expected to run the MMM while Berenger undergoes surgery overseas. We wish him well.
One of the first time I heard about throat cancer was when Fischer Black died of it. A year after he was diagnosed with it and after having surgery.
Steve Jobs too thought he had overcome cancer. But the disease returned.

Former MK Boss Explains How He Was Fired
This was in an interesting interview which appeared yesterday. He's talking now two years after the event because he is suing his former employer and was bound by a contract clause.
Another interview worth reading is that of former Chief Justice Victor Glover who thinks that Justice Balancy shouldn't give 3-page interviews every 3 weeks.
Any comments?

Humanity's Biggest Gathering Starts Today
When millions are expected to take the dip into one or more of India's holy rivers. The gathering is to last 55 days with over 100 million people to attend. There will be more pilgrims on some days than others: many astrologers have gathered to sort out the most auspicious ones. Today is good to take that sin-cleansing dive. Unless you don't want to miss that Makar Sankranti's kitchari.

Party Lists Have Undermined Accountability in SA
According to The Economist which ran an interesting article on South Africa last October. The famous magazine rightly concludes that individual MPs don't worry about voters anymore: they instead bend over backwards to please party leaders who determine how far they end up from the top of the list.
Guess it too is saying that party lists are evil.
