Khartoum's Preconditions Endless - Amum South Sudan should develop an alternative outlet to the sea to export its oil and develop its trade with the rest of its neighbours as Khartoum’s preconditions and obstruction are not about to end, says Mr Pagan Amum, South Sudan’s chief negotiator to the post independence talks with Sudan. 22 December 2012 Pagan Amum said as long as Sudan continues its preconditions, the two countries will find themselves in a state of no war, no peace, no flow of oil, and no trade.

by Michael Angier The tendency in most organizations--whether large companies, government departments or even family units--is not to rock the boat and refrain from telling telling our truth. For a variety of reasons, we hold back from saying what's true for us. We may fear being ostracized, held up for promotion, ridiculed or even fired. But that's not the way to greatness; that's the way to mediocrity or even failure. To grow, we have to tell the truth-- OUR truth. I'm talking here about sharing what we believe, what we feel and what we think about things that matter. Sometimes we hold back because we're protecting the person or persons we need to confront.

No sex tonight? I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me." I said "WHAT????!!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... "You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man." She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep. The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend ti
