L-R: Asphalt Supervisor, Julius Berger Plc, Mr. Hartlied Harald; President Goodluck Jonathan; and Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, during the inauguration of the reconstruction of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, at Sagamu, Ogun State... on FridayThe reconstruction of the 35-year-old road is being handled by Messrs Julius Berger Plc and Reynolds Construction Company Ltd.While the former takes charge of work from the interchange at Sagamu to Lagos, the latter will take care of the portion from the interchange to Ibadan.While the lanes on both expressways were blocked with armoured personnel carriers, armed security agents were deployed around the interchange to check human and vehicular movement.Some of the commuters who spoke with our correspondent said they were not aware that the President had an assignment at the interchange and were caught unawares by the gridlock. They blamed the President for adding to their hardship on both roads.A motorist, who identified himself as Kunle Daramola, said commuters should have been warned beforehand to tarry a little for the ceremony to end before commencing their journeys.He said, “My wife and I were to join my brother in Ibadan. He is taking his bride to the registry this morning. Now, we are stranded here and to worsen the case, I am standing in for our father as the first born. He has been calling me since but there is nothing I can do now despite the fact that we left very early to beat the traffic. It is not fair at all.”A commercial bus driver, who identified himself as Allah Dey, was very furious when he was narrating his ordeal to our correspondent. He said, “When we saw about three helicopters flying a moment ago, we were thinking that maybe something serious had happened until someone said it was because of the President. I don’t know why they have to block the roads when the President is not travelling by road.“Now that they are blocking the roads just to signal the commencement of construction, what will they do when they finish work on the road?”The President, who flew to the interchange in a Nigeria Air Force helicopter, was accompanied to the venue by the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, and Lagos State Deputy Governor, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire.Apart from the NAF chopper, two others belonging to the Nigerian Army were part of the President’s fleet.The President said he was delighted that at last, work was beginning on the road and promised to deliver.Jonathan said the rehabilitation of the road was long overdue considering the fact that it connects Lagos, the economic nerve centre of Nigeria, to other parts of the country.The President stated that 50 per cent of the economic transactions being conducted in the country were done between Lagos – Ogun area through the 35-year-old road.Acknowledging that the 127.8km road was long overdue for reconstruction, the President also promised that the Federal Government would intervene in the rehabilitation of other federal roads traversing Ogun State as requested by Amosun.He said that the Federal Government in 2009 entered into a concession agreement with a concessionaire, Bi-Courtney Highway Services, as a premier Public Private Partnership scheme. He stated that the concession was terminated four years later due to non-performance by the firm.Earlier in his speech, Amosun urged the President to pay attention to other federal roads in Ogun State to complement the state efforts in rehabilitating the roads in the state. He advised the Federal Government to ensure that the N167bn to be expended on the rehabilitation of the road did not become a waste of scarce resources.He urged the FG to put in place a sustainable maintenance arrangement for the highway.He attributed the deplorable condition of many infrastructural facilities across the country to the carelessness and bad maintenance culture among Nigerians, adding that Jonathan should direct the Federal Ministry of Works to employ more workers for the maintenance of the road.Both the President and Amosun performed a symbolic construction work when they climbed one of the construction equipment and drove it for a distance.The Federal Government had, in November 2012, revoked the failed Lagos-Ibadan Expressway concession contract awarded to Bi-Courtney Highway Services Limited in 2009.In the concession agreement with Bi-Courtney Highway Services Ltd, which was terminated on November 19, 2012, the firm was to expand the lanes to 10 from Lagos to Sagamu, and six lanes from Sagamu to Ibadan. It was also expected to build trailer parks and five interchanges among other things at a cost of N89.5bn.Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to be handle by Julios Berger Images

Ask Netflix Vice President of Product Innovation Todd Yellin what makes the streaming giant special, and he'll start telling you about algorithms, test groups and suggestion engines. "It's the revolution of TV," he explained to us at E3. "They used to send out a TV show and then they'd have no freaking idea who was watching it, how much they were watching ... it was just Nielsen diaries." A woefully inaccurate way to track content consumption, Yellin suggested. Netflix, on the other hand, can tell what folks are watching, when they are watching it, for how long and even on what device. Netflix uses all this information to offer users extremely specific suggestions and categories based on their recent use. The problem is, many families share a single account, and all their different tastes mix into a nonsensical mess. "You and your wife might have very different tastes," Yellin explained. "Why can't you have a profile, and she has a profile?" Separating the users on the family account would allow each user to get tailored suggestions based on their personal viewing experience. "We're finally launching it this summer."
Yellin pulled out an iPad, and showed the user-based sorting in action. It's pretty simple: loading up the app offers the user a one touch choice between profiles, which then drops into that person's tailored Netflix experience. Profiles can be aged locked, ensuring that profiles for children will only load up Netflix's kid hub -- fitting, since jumping between profiles is very similar to the firm's existing parental control solution. All in all, it seemed to be a very lightweight and pain free experience. The feature might not be useful for every Netflix user, but it sounds like a boon for families with wildly different tastes in content.

Netflix streaming user profiles to launch this summer, make account sharing easier Images
The United States has spent well over a trillion dollars in waging a "war on drugs", and we have filled our prisons with mostly non-violent drug offenders. In fact, we have put so many people in prison for drugs that we now lead the world in both the number of prisoners and the number incarcerated per capita our population. No other country, not even those considered to be police states with no citizen rights, even comes close to having as many people incarcerated as the U.S. does.And it hasn't worked at all. In spite of all the money spent and people locked up, drugs are still easily available to anyone who wants them and the number of users has not fallen significantly. Our "war on drugs" has been a spectacular failure by any measure. Unfortunately, most citizens and elected officials in this country continue to believe there is only one way to deal with the drug problem -- through the criminal justice system, believing that after 40 years of abject failure the system will somehow magically begin to work. Well, it won't!But there is another way, a way that actually does work -- and one European country has shown us how to do it. Ten years ago, Portugal decriminalized ALL drugs. And contrary to popular belief in this country, it did not result in a new epidemic of drug addicts -- just the opposite. In that 10 year period they have been able to cut the number of "problematic" users in half (intravenous users and those who repeatedly use "hard" drugs).How have they done this? They have done it by honestly educating the public and by providing treatment for those drug users. And they have done this while spending less money -- because education and treatment are much less expensive than incarceration.All Portugal did was recognize that drug use is a medical and social problem -- not a legal problem. So they stopped treating it like a legal problem. Isn't it time that we learned from Portugal's success (and our own miserable failure), and did the same thing?Portugal Shows How To Deal With Drugs Images

Won won Coca-Cola 600 last yearThere are several angles to approach when searching for who the winning driver will before the green flag drops for Sunday night’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. You can look at Saturday’s practice times -- where Kasey Kahne was fastest in both sessions, or stay with what has been the winning formula on the previous three 1.5-mile tracks, and simply ride with a Joe Gibbs driver.You can also look at some past history in the longest race of the year, because it appears that some drivers and crews seem to have an edge at not only the distance, but also the rapidly changing conditions. This race will start with the sun shining, go to dusk, and then finish up at night. In each of those changes, the temperature will drop, which will drastically change the set-up requirements of the car. Those who make the best and quickest changes on the fly, usually win. Based on what happened during Saturday’s final two practice sessions, it looks as though Kasey Kahne is the driver to beat. Along with being fastest in both sessions, Kahne also had the best 10-consecutive laps average during happy hour. Although the practices were run in morning, and won’t resemble any condition they’ll see during the race, Kahne’s got a lot of success going for him -- both historical and on similar tracks.Kahne can’t match the three wins Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch have combined for on 1.5-mile tracks, but he’s close. He finished runner-up to Kenseth at Las Vegas and Kansas. And not so coincidentally, he’s using that same chassis from Kansas this week. All season long on the horsepower tracks, Gibbs Toyota's have dominated with the Gen-6 car, with everyone else trying to play catch-up. But the Hendrick Motorsports duo of Kahne and Jimmie Johnson seem to be bridging the gap between two of the elite teams in NASCAR. Johnson won the All-Star race at Charlotte last week, and Kahne led once for 11 laps in the non-points race. Although the format of the All-Star race is completely different from what we'll see Sunday, it's still a sign that we could see another manufacturer besides a Toyota winning a 1.5-mile points race soon. Another common ground with the All-Star race is that the conditions for the final 100 laps will be similar. Kahne’s edge over the Gibbs cars this week is also boosted by history where his is great and the Gibbs organization has traditionally been a little behind. Bobby Labonte’s Coca-Cola 600 win in 1995 still remains Joe Gibbs only win in the marathon race. Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin -- second last season -- have been close several times, but don’t have wins in any Charlotte race. As for Kahne, he’s won four times at Charlotte, including the Coca-Cola 600 three times. He won last years race as well. Everything seems to be pointing Kahne's way this week.READ MORE HERE.......Final Top-10 Rated Drivers ListPractice 3 Speeds - Kahne fastest again, also best 10-consecutive lap average Practice 2 Speeds - Kahne Fastest2013 Coca-Cola 600 Practice Notes: Kahne Looks Like the Driver to Beat Images
