State seeks to set cellphone call prices

Thabo Mokone

THE Department of Communications and Telecommunications industry regulator Icasa (Independent Communications Authority of SA) wants the Electronic Communications Act to be amended to give government powers to set prices for cellphone calls.

In a move that is expected to be met with stiff resistance from the cellphone industry, Themba Phiri, deputy director-general in the department of communications told parliament ? which is conducting hearings into the high cost of telecommunications in South Africa ? that government was considering a flat rate regime for cellphone calls.

Phiri said cellphone call charges in South Africa remained very high when compared to other countries in the world, despite intervention by former communications minister Siphiwe Nyanda in 2010 to reduce the cost of making cellphone calls.

"The amendment to the [act] in addressing matters which hinders competition and other related matters needs to observed. The imposition of a flat rate on mobile voice calls in South Africa needs to be studied to determine its relevance in today's market. Regulation of transparency in the pricing and the publication of mobile retail prices is a very important policy issue," Phiri said.

Nyanda's intervention reduced the cellphone termination rate from R2.50 to 89 cents per minute in 2010 and this was expected to drop further in March next year to 40 cents a minute.

Cellphone termination rates are what mobile operators charge consumers to carry a call between different networks.

Cellphone companies are vehemently opposed to a reduction in termination rates, saying such a move would lead to massive job cuts as profits would plummet. But Icasa has disputed this claim by saying that cheaper cellphone call rates would attract more customers to the cellphone market.

Information and Communications technology expert Professor Alison Gillwald said: "The very high input cost of communications to this economy is killing certain sectors... Our wholesale [cellphone call] prices remain very high. They have come down but they remain very high."

Vodacom, Cell C and MTN are expected to make their submissions this morning.

Mixed Reports As Sports Providers Visit Rec Board

Mixed Reports As Sports Providers Visit Rec Board

Some Royal Palm Beach youth sports are flourishing, while others are still recovering from economic challenges that had parents cutting back on participation, according to providers who spoke at the Nov. 19 meeting of the Royal Palm Beach Recreation Advisory Board.

The most positive outlook came from Mal Hasan, president of Royal Palm Beach Youth Soccer, who said the league had just completed its fall season with a record number of participants.

?Normally, we would offer a recreational and competitive program. This season, we introduced an all-star program for our rec members,? Hasan reported. ?From the under-10 through under-18 teams, we were able to put together nine all-star teams, a boys and girls team for each age group, [and] an extra girls team in the under-18 group because there was such high demand and so much talent.?

In addition to the regular recreation season, these kids met as an all-star team once or twice a week to practice. ?We decided that at some point during the season, we would send these kids off to participate in a recreation tournament somewhere else in the state,? Hasan said.

The tournament they located was in Cocoa Beach, where seven of the nine teams participated in the finals and five won the championship. ?I think that speaks volumes for the recreation program itself, and if we were able to do that pretty much in a trial run, we really look forward to the upcoming season,? he said.

The past season had 473 members in the recreational program, and 34 in the competitive program. Hasan, who also coaches the Royal Palm Beach High School boys soccer team, said the league is developing a feeder program that will help players develop their skills.

?We would like our recreation program to be the feeder system for the program as a whole, as opposed to these other clubs that go around recruiting from city to city bringing in teams from other clubs,? he explained.

Hasan anticipates the spring registration to top 500. ?I?ll be a little disappointed if that?s not the case,? he said. ?Everybody is very excited after this fall season.?

Royal Palm Beach Youth Soccer?s spring season will tentatively start with practice on Feb. 18 and the first games on March 2. It will run until the end of May.

In other soccer news, Hasan noted that the Palm Beach Soccer League has asked RPB to host the playoffs for its competitive program, which features more than 60 teams in a single-elimination tournament.

?That?s something we hope to continue to do,? he said. ?The village has been very supportive of them, plus, we would like to think down the line in possibly hosting our own tournament, which would help generate additional revenue for the village and for our program.?

In summary, Hasan said the future looks bright for soccer in Royal Palm Beach. ?We have a really neat situation here in that we have all these kids starting in this program at 4 years old,? he said. ?We have a middle school coach here at Crestwood who?s involved with our recreation program, so we start them here, we send them to somebody in middle school who?s still part of us, and from middle school they go to the high school where I am the boys? coach.?

Parks & Recreation Director Lou Recchio added that the village has been working on taking over the multipurpose fields at Seminole Palms Park. This will add the flexibility of additional field space, allowing the village to host larger sporting events.

Tedd Kenny, president of the Youth Baseball Association of Royal Palm Beach, said his program has been undergoing a transition.

Kenny has been involved in local youth baseball for about 18 years and took over as president of the program last January. ?We?re trying to build the program back up to what it used to be just a few years ago,? he said.

The league recently finished its fall season. ?Things went fairly well,? Kenny said. ?Fall is an instructional season, focusing more on the kids who are moving from a younger age group to an older age group. The spring is when we have the competitive season that leads into all-stars and travel.?

Membership is up from fall 2011, when registrants totaled 272, compared with 295 for the season just completed. The program has 210 residents and 85 non-residents. Spring registration was also up, rising to 325 from 305 a year earlier, which Kenny attributed partly to adjusting prices to be more competitive with other leagues and focusing more on fun and learning.

?At some point there had been some focus on travel ball, and not really on recreational baseball and teaching the fundamentals,? he said, adding that the league does have five travel teams, accounting for an additional 60 youth who play outside the recreational league.

Registration for 2013 is now open, and Kenny anticipates tryouts in late January with the season opening Feb. 23. He expected registration to be about 350.

Royal Palm Beach Wildcats Football League President Mike Wallace said the league plays under Pop Warner Football League rules.

?We don?t make up things as we go. A lot of the rec football programs in Palm Beach County do that,? he said, pointing out that weight divisions are standard across the nation. ?Those rules are made by Pop Warner national up in Pennsylvania.?

The enrollment numbers were down to 211 in 2012 from 265 in 2011. ?Speaking with some of the other programs in the Treasure Coast Football Conference, they all had reductions also,? Wallace said. ?They kind of chalked it up to money and finances and the economy.?

The cheer program in 2011 had 115 girls. This year it ended at 67 after starting the season with 85. The league had three cheer teams, two of which were competitive and did well. The oldest group placed second in local competition, which sent them to Orlando last month for regional competition.

Football had eight teams this past season, down from 10 the previous season.

Most of the board members are new, and the league was left with outstanding bills from the previous year, but managed to finish with a balanced budget, Wallace said.

One of the things that he likes about Pop Warner Football is that the players also have to do well in school, he said. ?You have to show your coach your report card,? Wallace said. ?We?re one of the few sports programs that do that.?

Of the 278 kids in the program the past year, 24 were scholastic All-Americans, he noted.

Two tickets share record $588 million Powerball win

PHOENIX (Reuters) - Winning tickets bought in Arizona and Missouri matched numbers drawn for a record Powerball lottery jackpot of $588 million, the Multi-State Lottery Association said.

Holders of the two winning tickets in the Wednesday night draw will share an estimated $385 million if they opt to take it as a lump sum. Alternatively, the $588 million can be paid out to them as annuities over three decades, the association said.

The drawing took place at 10:59 p.m. EST, with winning numbers 5 16 22 23 29, and a Powerball of 6. The Association did not say if the ticket holders had come forward yet to claim their vast cash prizes.

Powerball spokeswomen in Arizona and Missouri did not immediately respond to emails seeking further details on the winners.

The popular lottery - which is played in 42 states, Washington D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands - had not had a winner for two months. After no one won the top prize in Saturday's drawing, the pot had grown by about $263 million to $578.5 million amid a rush to buy tickets.

The previous Powerball top prize of $365 million was won in 2006 by ConAgra slaughterhouse workers in Nebraska. The largest-ever U.S. lottery jackpot, the $656 million Mega Millions drawing, was shared by three winning tickets last March.

Mary Neubauer, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Lottery, where Powerball is based, said lottery officials had received calls and emails from people around the world asking if they can buy a ticket. They cannot.

There have been nearly 300 jackpot winners over the past 20 years, taking home payouts of over $11.6 billion.

U.S. diets not up to U.S. standards: study

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In a broad comparison of U.S. dietary standards and real Americans' eating habits, researchers found that people fall short of nutritional recommendations overall, but some groups are worse than others.

Among the findings, researchers said that children and the elderly seemed to eat a healthier diet than younger and middle-aged adults, and women had a better diet than men. Hispanics also tended to have better quality diets than either blacks or whites.

"I think it's a really important piece of science because it demonstrates what many of us suspected for a long time: there are many profound disparities in the American diet," said Gary Bennett, who was not involved with the new work but studies obesity prevention at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

For the study, researchers used responses to a large national health survey to compare what 8,272 Americans said they ate in the course of one day to what the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggested they should be eating.

Each subset of people was assigned a score between zero and 100 based on the percentage of the USDA recommendation for different food groups, such as fruit, vegetables, grains, milk, meat and beans, they consumed each day.

Overall, the researchers found that children and adults as groups each scored 56, while seniors scored higher with 65, meaning they did a better job meeting the USDA standards than most younger people, but no one came close to a perfect score of 100.

"Regardless of socioeconomic status, age, race and education, the American diet as a whole needs to be improved," said the study's lead author Hazel Hiza, of the USDA's Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion (CNPP) in Alexandria, Virginia.

Hiza and her colleagues, who published their findings in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, did find further differences when they looked at race and income.

Hispanics scored better than African Americans and whites across many different food groups.

Hispanic children, for example, were getting closer to the recommended amounts of fruit and vegetables compared to white children, and closer to the recommended amount of fruit compared to black children.

Bennett cautions, however, that the findings do not mean all Hispanics had better diets than all white and black children.

For kids, family income also made a difference, but not with the result some might expect.

The researchers say that children from poor families were meeting more of the USDA dietary recommendations than wealthy children in several food groups, which is possibly due to the low-income families' participation in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs.

Adults, however, did seem to meet more of the USDA recommendations as their incomes increased.

"What we know very clearly is that kids, who are in those lowest poverty groups, are doing OK, but not their parents," said Bennett. "This is a win for some of our policies, but it is also the case that some of these parents are sacrificing their diets for the benefit of their kids."

Overall, Bennett said Americans would benefit from policies that encouraged people to eat more fruit and vegetables.

"Most policy decisions have advanced the production, processing and consumption of inexpensive grains? If we can figure out policy that could do the same for fruit and vegetables, our health would benefit," he said.

Hiza added that Americans should also take into account their physical activity levels, and not just their diets.

Robert Post, deputy director for the USDA CNPP, told Reuters Health that people can find tools and resources to help them meet dietary standards on ChooseMyPlate.gov, including a tool that tracks diet and exercise.

HBT: Hall odds look slim for Clemens, Bonds

A couple of data points made me think, hey, Bonds? and Clemens? ?Hall of Fame case may not be as bleak as everyone things, but the AP has taken a straw poll, and it?s not all that optimistic:

With steroid scandals still very much on the minds of longtime members of the Baseball Writers? Association of America as they cast their ballots, the trio failed to muster even 50 percent support among the 112 voters contacted by the AP ? nearly one-fifth of those eligible to choose.?Candidates need 75 percent for election.

You figure the AP has better contacts with active writers than those old legacy dudes who get Hall of Fame votes because they covered baseball for a season or two back in the 60s. In my personal experience, active writers would be more likely than older, inactive writers to give Bonds and Clemens the benefit of the doubt, so this does not look promising at all.

Someone get Nate Silver on the horn and boil a pot of coffee. ?We need to get to the bottom of this.
