Where the previous Malibu had a chunky exterior styling and dreadfully plastic interior, the new 'bu has smooth, flowing lines outside and a variety of materials and -- yes -- soft-touch vinyl on the dash. The use of woodgrain trim is restrained, even if any can be too much, but the result is a car that's welcoming to sit in and feels expensive. The previous Malibu reminded you daily how much money GM saved building it. The four-cylinder Accord is the mid-size leader in miserliness, according to Natural Resources Canada, with numbers better than Malibu's. The four-cylinder Accord is rated at 9.4 litres per 100 km city and 6.4 l/100km highway (30 and 44 mpg respectively). Malibu's ratings for its four-cylinder are 9.6 and 6.5 litres per 100 km. Not a huge difference, but it can add up. ..
BAMAKO, Mali -- There were some uncomfortable grumbles and glances in Mali's parliament Thursday when Michaelle Jean urged the African country to extend unprecedented rights to its women. [Nelson Mandela] so eloquently wrote, 'I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom,'" Jean said. "The voice of women counts," Jean said. "Give women the means to participate fully in civic life and you will see a drop in illiteracy, you will see a drop in poverty, and in hunger...
The lead story in L'Independant called her visit an honour and noted [Jean] took the podium in the assembly a day earlier under a "shower of cheers. We felt this emotion with Pele, that young black genius of soccer, with [Muhammad Ali] taking an 'African' name and KO'ing a succession of white opponents. They were black, proud and said it," he added. "Everyone is aware of the governor general's visit -- even the tiny children," said Modibo Coulibaly. "She seems so kind."
Ongoing (never-ending) civil and regional conflict, campaigns of rape, ineligibility to attend school, very early arranged marriage and child-bearing, trafficking in girls' labour and sexual slavery, genital mutilation and segregation from social relationships describe some of the huge problems faced by women in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Nepal, Sudan, Mali, Guatemala, Pakistan, Somalia and Saudi Arabia, to name the bottom 10. [...] there is the Happy Planet Index, which measures our ecological footprint on our world.
The crowd of 1,000 festive locals who clapped, danced and sang with Gov. Gen Michaëlle Jean on Sunday spoke proudly of better days ahead. We can only thank Canada," said Oumarta Tapily, the mayor of a conglomeration of area hamlets. "So I went looking for partners ... and somebody told me about the Canadians.
Similarly, Ivory Coast will be fancying its chances. Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is one of the world's purest goal-scorers and in Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue, both of whom play for Arsenal, they are sure to be tight at the back as well. Barcelona's Yaya Toure will hold the midfield together. And one of Sevilla's Arouna Kone, Lens' Aruna Dindane, or Lyon's Abdul Kader Keita will partner Drogba in attack. Like Nigeria, Cameroon will employ an attack-first philosophy. Barcelona hitman Samuel Eto'o is the face of the team. After recovering from a lingering knee injury, he has hit the ground running -- scoring three goals in four games for the Catalans. In the midfield, manager Otto Pfister will be able to call on the likes of Lille's Jean Makoun, Atalanta's Alain Nkong, Arsenal's Alexan...
...Mali can also be expected to contend. Sevilla's Frederi...
The landlocked nations of Mongolia and Mali are members of the International Whaling Commission, although both, consisting mostly of desert, have no history of or particular interest in whaling. In fact, quite a few of the IWC's members are there because they were either "invited" -- to put the most charitable spin on the process -- or "bribed" -- in the more sinister scenario -- by one side or the other to the join the organization in an effort to stack the voting process. Mali's and Mongolia's membership is not the only curious thing about the IWC. For another, it is not really supposed to have two "sides." It is supposed to have one common purpose -- to preserve the whale population at a level where commercial whaling remains viable. That's what it was set up to do in 1946, but today...
