Hi Harry! Prince charms children in
classroom visit to Lesotho charity and
even gets an ´official´ chalk portrait

| With a toothy grin and prominent ears it may not be the most flattering Royal portrait. But Prince Harry was delighted with the sketch on a South African classroom chalk board. As a royal you have to take everything in your stride and his morning´s work included a lesson in sign language, cooking up a batch of doughnuts - and proving something of a storm on the dancefloor. The third in line to the throne was a natural with the children he met today at the Kananelo Centre for the Deaf in Lesotho, which is supported by his charity, Sentebale.

Comments:
Very similar in many respects to some of the appearances the Mooch has made. But what a difference in the way Harry presents himself--he has a way of making the nuns and children the stars of the visit!
Comparing the reader comments with any of those following a Mooch appearance, well, people recognize real class when they see it. No expensive designer clothes here, just blue jeans and a plain white shirt that seems a little short for his torso!

I´ve just been watching the riveting live coverage of Congress´s investigation into the Benghazi disaster in which US ambassador Chris Stevens was murdered by Al Qaeda affiliates while the Obama administration stood by and let it happen. What becomes clearer than ever, listening to the testimony of America´s most senior surviving man on the ground Greg Hicks, is that the whole business reeks of the most concerted presidential cover up since Watergate. [Snip]Can you imagine how differently the Benghazi story would have played had it been on Dubya´s watch? Let alone Nixon´s? It would have been the scandal that destroyed

The Super Bowl trespassing case filed by Jenny Sanford against Mark Sanford has been settled, with Mark Sanford admitting he is “in contempt for this and previous instances of trespassing” into Jenny Sanford’s home. In a consent order filed today in Charleston County Family Court, both sides said the agreement means “a full resolution” of the dispute. Another point in the settlement is that Mark Sanford will pay $5,000 to take care of Jenny Sanford’s fees and legal costs. And, if Mark Sanford does breach the agreement or the no trespassing stipulations of their divorce, “defendant waives

Fundamentals matter in American politics, and Tuesday reaffirmed what political studies have shown: There’s a direct relationship between a congressional district’s partisan makeup and its vote totals. Unlike presidential elections, where economic conditions and personal factors can have a bigger impact on the outcome, political scientists know that the “normal vote”--the portion of the vote a congressional candidate is expected to receive based on the district partisanship--is the best predictor of congressional election results. Just six months back, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney won an 18-percentage-point victory over Barack Obama in the 1st Congressional District. Based on

Fifty-five people have been killed in the north-east of Nigeria in co-ordinated attacks by the Boko Haram militant group, the Nigerian army says. It said 105 prisoners were freed in the pre-dawn raid in Bama, Borno state. Bama´s police station, military barracks and government buildings were burned to the ground, said the military and witnesses. Correspondents say extremist attacks are common in the region but the scale of bloodshed makes this raid stand out. This strike--coming on the back of other deadly attacks--undermines the suggestion that the military operation against the militants has diminished the threat they pose, says the

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

Lord Lawson has become the most senior Tory yet to argue that we should quit the EU. What does that tell us about the state of politics that this is a newsworthy event? "Not only do our interests increasingly differ from those of the eurozone members but, while never ‘at the heart of Europe’, we are now becoming increasingly marginalised as we are doomed to being consistently outvoted by the eurozone bloc." Lord Lawson knocked back any suggestions that there would be "a heavy economic cost, making this unwise" because "the economic gains would substantially outweigh the costs."

It now appears cameras and recording devices will be allowed in Thursday’s court hearing on Mark Sanford’s alleged trespassing of his ex-wife’s home. Jenny Sanford had initially sought to ban cameras, but the filing was dismissed today. The pair will be in Charleston County Family Court after Mark Sanford said he watched the Feb. 3 Super Bowl at her Sullivan’s Island home with one of their sons. Jenny Sanford had not given him permission to be there and said it was against their divorce decree. Also, that it was part of a pattern on her ex-husband’s part.

But the maker of the little blue pills is not making its move just to spare the blushes of every drooping paramour. The US drug-maker is taking a hard-headed business decision in its fight against the counterfeiting that sees 80pc of Viagra pills sold online turn out to be fakes. Not only does that cost Pfizer lost sales and leave buyers with pills that may not do the trick but it also exposes them to decidedly unsexy ingredients, including pesticides, paint and printer ink.

Eight people--including four of Saudi origin--have been arrested over an explosion that killed two people at a church in the northern Tanzanian city of Arusha on Sunday, police say. President Jakaya Kikwete condemned the blast as an "act of terrorism". No group has said it was behind the explosion, which left at least 50 people wounded. Militant attacks are relatively rare in Tanzania, unlike neighbouring Kenya and Somalia. Al-Qaeda-linked suicide bombers killed more than 200 people in simultaneous attacks in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998. Tanzania has seen a rise in sectarian violence between Christians and Muslims in the past

Last Christmas, Rob Rhinehart realised that food doesn’t work. At least, not very well. Its function is to deliver the energy and nutrition that the body requires for fuel, and yet it’s expensive to buy and takes time to prepare. Many in the world can’t afford to eat properly, whilst others eat so badly that they become clogged and obese and then they just die. Eating is a problem, in one way or another, for millions, perhaps billions of humans. So, a few months ago, the 24-year-old computer engineer began his quest to “solve” food.

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Once in a long while, an event evokes one of my favorite historical images: the British Army band, at Lord Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown which sealed the Americans’ revolutionary victory, playing “The World Turned Upside Down.” In this case, the event is the dramatic change over the past two weeks

The Seattle Police Department collected more than 700 guns during a buyback in January, and now city officials have a plan for what to do with them. Mayor Mike McGinn is expected to announce Tuesday that they´ll be melted into bricks carrying messages of peace, and the bricks will be placed around the city. The buyback program was announced a month after last December´s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., by city leaders sick of hearing about gun violence.

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
