GHANA BLACK STARS, OUR PRIDE

The black stars of Ghana,Ghana's national team football squad made Ghanaians proud by 
beating the most fancied and highly respectable Egyptian team emphatically with no return in the on going worldcup playoff. 

Ghana may have been Africa's best side in the last two World Cups, but those are not guarantees for reaching the 2014 finals.

Kwesi Appiah's men will require a first leg win in the playoff against Egypt to boost their chances of securing their spot in Brazil. The Black stars did it perfectly in a grand style of 
which our chance to be part of the worldcup in Brazil 2014 is more than 100%.

Ghana stormed the pharoahs, a massive 6-1 first leg win over Egypt in the World Cup qualifying playoff with a diamond performance. 

Ghana's massive thrashing of Egypt in Tuesday's World Cup playoff match has left Asamoah Gyan surprised about the goal haul by the Black Stars.

The Black Stars hit six goals past the North African side at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi to leave them in the box seat with a seemingly unassailable advantage heading into the return leg.

Gyan, who bagged a brace on the day, admits he never expected such a scoreline against one of the continents best.

“Honestly, no. I wasn’t expecting six goals today,” Gyan said at the post-match conference. 
Ghana is piosed to do more than the first performance of the worldcup. Black Stars we are proud of you. 

Green Computing

by FRANCIS BROWN TAYLOR

Green computing, also called green technology, is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources. Such practices include the implementation of energy-efficient central processing units (CPUs), servers and peripherals as well as reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste (e-waste).
One of the earliest initiatives toward green computing in the United States was the voluntary labeling program known as Energy Star. It was conceived by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1992 to promote energy efficiency in hardware of all kinds. The Energy Star label became a common sight, especially in notebook computers and displays. Similar programs have been adopted in Europe and Asia.
Government regulation, however well-intentioned, is only part of an overall green computing philosophy. The work habits of computer users and businesses can be modified to minimize adverse impact on the global environment. Here are some steps that can be taken:

• Power-down the CPU and all peripherals during extended periods of inactivity.
• Try to do computer-related tasks during contiguous, intensive blocks of time, leaving hardware off at other times.
• Power-up and power-down energy-intensive peripherals such as laser printers according to need.
• Use liquid-crystal-display (LCD) monitors rather than cathode-ray-tube (CRT) monitors.
• Use notebook computers rather than desktop computers whenever possible.
• Use the power-management features to turn off hard drives and displays after several minutes of inactivity.
• Minimize the use of paper and properly recycle waste paper.
• Dispose of e-waste according to federal, state and local regulations.
• Employ alternative energy sources for computing workstations, servers, networks and data centers.
