The musician created Yéle Haiti to help his native land. Now it needs more support than ever.

Publication partly depoliticises such matters as the rate of interest, in the sense that it displays the arguments of a politician with a banker. In another sense these arguments can never be non-political, for rates of interest, and of inflation, benefit certain sections of society as they hurt others. Mr Clarke says that there is no fundamental difference between having these discussions in Brussels, Frankfurt or wherever it may be and having them in London.In addition to making this original contribution to the debate, Mr Clarke is, in default of aligning currencies, trying to align himself with his colleagues. The Maastricht Treaty, he said, was a document which rightly emphasised “nominal convergence”.

The treaty was based on a belief, which he shared, that a single currency could work only if “nominal convergence criteria” – concerning government debt, budget deficits, inflation and interest rates – were satisfied in full. But, “as the Prime Minister reiterated last week”, these were “necessary but not sufficient”.Ah, our old friends, necessary and sufficient! You have to have A-levels to get away with talking about them. Mr Major, as far as one knows, does not, but this does not deter him. He says, as to sufficient conditions, that “the plain fact” is that the “powerful forces of free markets” will determine when a single currency comes into existence.

The circumstances cannot accurately be foreseen now.A close reading of his recent speeches, together with Mr Clarke’s and Mr Hurd’s, suggests that what the Government is trying to do is announce a period of delay not merely for the UK but for the other European states as well But they cannot do this They think they are still running the Empire. Let me remind them of what the treaty actually says:”All member states shall, whether they fulfil the necessary conditions for the adoption of a single currency or not, respect the will for the Community to enter into the third stage [of economic and monetary union], and therefore no member state shall prevent the entering into the third stage.”. THE siblings of famous men and women can be a help or a handicap. President Kennedy’s brother Bobby – handsome, able, heedful to the fraternal wish – clearly falls into the first category. President Carter’s brother Billy – beer-swiller, sometime friend of Colonel Gaddafi – most certainly belongs to the second. To some extent it depends on how much the siblings can resist the lure of media fame. Baroness Thatcher’s sister Muriel, an East Anglian farmer’s wife, was a textbook lesson in unembarrassing anonymity She said almost nothing all through the Thatcher years.

She was an oyster that refused to open to the tap of the reporter’s pencil. The same cannot be said of the present Prime Minister’s elder brother. Terry Major-Ball has become a media star, or perhaps a media pet. Is he a help or a handicap? The jury is still out on this one, but last week Mr Major-Ball discovered that his recently found celebrity status can exact a painful price. It was to Mr Major-Ball that the media went when they sought comment on the story that John Major had enjoyed a “relationship” with a Jean Kierans, divorced and rather older than Mr Major, when he was a young single man 30 years ago. Mr Major-Ball said that he could not imagine sex played any part in this friendship, such was the moral code of the Major-Balls.

He still shouts at himself or fumes in silence when he misses a shot, still drops his racket in disgust at times and kicks the clay.They used to say the best doubles team in the world was John McEnroe and anybody else, and when he now occasionally makes those sublime shots with his artistry of old, the thought, or perhaps the wish, slips in that maybe it’s still true.Trouble is, a Davis Cup match is more than just a few moments in the sun. It’s the best-of-five sets, two, three, four hours in the lung-scalding heat. And against Spain, in this resort town near Bilbao, it’s on a red clay that never was much to McEnroe’s liking.Yet McEnroe, the captain of a U.S. squad abandoned by Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi and rejected by Michael Chang, sounds as if he’s leaning toward throwing himself into the fray.”I don’t look at us being wiped out here,” said McEnroe, in the face of what he acknowledges are overwhelming odds against his team “I think Spain has underachieved for 20 years. I’m sure they’re going to be feeling the heat.”Todd Martin and Jan-Michael Gambill will play the singles matches on Friday, most likely against two of the sport’s most formidable clay courters, Alex Corretja and Juan Carlos Ferrero. The matchups will be determined in Thursday’s draw.Then, depending on how those go, McEnroe will decide whether he will play with Martin or Gambill in Saturday’s doubles, or bring in Chris Woodruff or Vince Spadea. For Spain, Corretja and Juan Balcells are expected to play the doubles.

On Sunday, they’ll play the reverse singles.If McEnroe chooses to name himself for the doubles, it will be less out of vanity or a belief that he can turn back the hands of time than a realistic assessment of the cards he’s been dealt. Neither Woodruff nor Spadea are particularly adept at doubles.”I’m trying to get myself ready in case it does happen,” McEnroe said. McEnroe, who won 77 career doubles titles and the same number of singles titles, played with different partners in practice, didn’t lose a set, and looked much more comfortable on the court than Woodruff and Spadea. “I feel like I’ve known the game of doubles,” McEnroe said.Martin wasn’t enthusiastic about McEnroe playing, saying a few weeks ago that there were better choices and that it would hurt his effectiveness as captain.”I definitely have to hedge from that, seeing we have a completely different squad,” Martin said today. “Now we’re obviously depleted.” Still, Martin said, McEnroe’s weak second serve is a serious liability on clay.McEnroe planned to play Sampras and Martin in doubles, but that idea ended when Sampras pulled out last week with claims that the tendinitis in his left leg needed rest after his Wimbledon victory. When Agassi pulled out, too, saying he was injured in a minor car accident, McEnroe lost his best clay-court player.”Pete, maybe you could see the writing on the wall that that was going to happen,” McEnroe said “Andre was a shock. I know that he had a really tough loss and that it was probably difficult for him emotionally to bounce back with the scheduling of this.”McEnroe said it all will cause him to consider whether he wants to return as captain next year.”Obviously one of the reasons I was hired was so that I would make a difference in getting the players to play,” he said “Well, I clearly haven’t succeeded.”.

Patrice Hagelauer, who used to coach Yannick Noah, was yesterday put in charge of the storm-tossed ark known as the British tennis training department. It remains to be seen whether young players will arrive two by two with the ability and determination to succeed Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski. Patrice Hagelauer, who used to coach Yannick Noah, was yesterday put in charge of the storm-tossed ark known as the British tennis training department. It remains to be seen whether young players will arrive two by two with the ability and determination to succeed Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski.
The irony of Hagelauer’s promotion is that his duties effectively embrace those of Richard Lewis, who last year recommended the Frenchman to the Lawn Tennis Association to work under him in the role of performance director and yesterday surrendered his job as the LTA’s director of tennis. Hagelauer, not Lewis, will now report directly to John Crowther, the chief executive.Although last weekend’s Davis Cup defeat by Ecuador at Wimbledon, which relegated Britain from the World Group, was the catalyst for Lewis’s “mutual” parting from the national governing body, he has been subjected to criticism from inside and outside the LTA for several years.”I had made up my mind to go on Saturday morning when I heard Greg [Rusedski] wasn’t playing doubles and how it was going to be a dog-fight to win a tight tie,” Lewis said. “When I met John [Crowther] on Monday I found he had the same feeling. This is certainly not the way I would have chosen to go but I think the time is ripe from a personal point of view.”Crowther, confirming that Lewis would not be dealt another hand at a media conference held in the card room at Queen’s Club, cited the press as jokers in the pack “I am very sorry to see Richard go,” Crowther said.

“He has just recruited new people to the titles and promised to spend more money to turn them around. I can’t see why he would sell now,” one leading analyst said.Media analysts predict further consolidation of the newspaper industry, following the closure last year of Today. “The market clearly thinks there is something going on.”Other analysts played down suggestions that Lord Stevens was prepared to sell. “This is more than just buying on fundamentals,” said Jonathan Helliwell, analyst at James Capel. Some analysts said last night a bid for the whole of United would make sense, giving Carlton control of the group’s regional newspapers, magazines and exhibitions business.Under proposed ownership rule changes, Carlton would be able to own a national newspaper in addition to its two ITV franchises.Two other potential bidders for the Express titles are Tony O’Reilly, whose Independent Newspapers owns 43 per cent of the Independent, and Andrew Neil, the former editor of the Sunday Times who last year revealed that he was prepared to spend as much as pounds 300m to buy the two titles.United’s share price climbed 29p to 624p in heavy trading yesterday.

Frenzied speculation over a radical consolidation of the newspaper and television sectors sent media shares soaring yesterday amid growing conviction that United News and Media was set to sell its Express newspaper titles.Lord Stevens, United’s chief executive, issued a terse “no comment” to speculation that he had found a buyer for the Daily Express, the Sunday Express and the Daily Star.Leading the list of potential bidders was Michael Green’s Carlton Communications, which has routinely refused to rule out an investment in the national newspaper industry. It argues that cable operators would have difficulty undercutting BT at lower than present prices, thus jeopardising their key marketing advantage..

While networks have been built on schedule and on budget, the “penetration” rate at which customers with access to cable actually take the service has hovered at a disappointing 20 per cent. “So far, cable hasn’t been much of a success story, despite all the early hype,” a telecoms analyst said.The cable industry has had difficulty convincing customers to sign up for its services, despite undercutting BT on basic phone service and providing multi-channel TV at rates comparable to, although higher than, those charged by BSkyB for satellite.Separately, the industry trade group, the Cable Communications Association, published its submission to Oftel, the telcoms watchdog that is considering new terms for the supply of telephony services from BT.The CCA wants Oftel to freeze BT prices at current levels, rather than force the dominant supplier to lower them further. Nynex shares were 4p higher at 91p, while General cable added just 1/2p to close at 184p.But the sector continues dramatically to underperform the market, and has missed various performance targets expected by analysts. “They certainly had trouble developing their business here,” said one leading analyst.The three publicly quoted cable companies all saw their shares rise on the news of Videotron’s departure from the market. Neil Blackley, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, said: “The idea is that consolidation will lead to more efficiency and lower costs in the business, which will improve prospects for the remaining companies.”Telewest, the largest operator, saw its shares climb more than 10p to close at 145p. That inquiry is now under way.Videotron’s marketing and sales performance were below par, according to cable industry sources.

It pioneered the a la carte approach to marketing cable channels, which led to disputes with BSkyB, the satellite broadcaster, and other suppliers of pay-TV programming.Most of the industry accepts the “bundling” of channels as a prime marketing tool, using the a la carte system only for a handful of premium channels.Videotron, along with two other smaller cable operators, led a campaign to convince the Office of Fair Trading to investigate BSkyB’s supply of programming to the industry. Among the potential buyers are Bell Cablemedia, which owns 18 per cent of Videotron Holdings.
Videotron’s chief executive, Andre Chagnon, said the company planned to focus on Canada and the US. “Now is an appropriate time to explore alternatives for realising the value of our investment,” he said in Montreal yesterday.Videotron is the fourth largest UK cable operator, with franchises in London and surrounding areas. The Canadian-based company owns 56 per cent of Videotron Holdings, the New York-listed stock, and has appointed Goldman Sachs to seek buyers for the stake. Videotron is to sell its entire investment in the ailing UK cable market, in a move that heralds the start of a long-awaited industry consolidation, writes Mathew Horsman. And no one knows whether he will modify tomorrow the position he claims today.Which means he occupies the mushy centre – which is why it is he and Mr Forbes, and not Mr Gramm and Mr Buchanan or the fading Mr Gingrich, who are battling today for the soul of the Republican Party..

But Mr Dole, the Senate majority leader, is a man whose middle name is compromise He is a man who makes deals. No one knows for sure how hot his passion is for balancing the budget, for combating abortion, for reducing sex on television, for stopping Mexicans wading over the Rio Grande. Yet that alone marks him out as a wet.Compromise was a word unknown to the House members who set the Republican tone in 1995. But compassion is not approval.”Mr Dole suffers from the comparison with Mr Forbes on account of age, his reputation as a Washington insider and because he has been unable to shake off the image of man who has no clear policies, who will tailor his message to fit the opinion poll fashions. Last week he was asked on the campaign trail in Iowa whether he approved of same-sex marriages He replied: “If you want to live together, fine If you want to have a life together, fine.

In what will be seen as a fresh, if guarded, effort to construct a truce with her successor on the eve of the Commons’ return today, the former prime minister proclaimed that ‘Thatcherism is alive and well’ and that Mr Major had now taken the party back to ‘fundamental principles’.
Asked specifically in a BBC TV interview with Sir David Frost whether Mr Portillo, the Treasury Chief Secretary, was her favoured successor to Mr Major, she said emphatically that he was a ‘very strong runner’ and that ‘Michael had never faltered in his beliefs’.She said that she hoped the leadership would not be an issue for ’some time’and added: ‘It is very destabilising for a prime minister when they are constantly talking about who is going to be next.She said of Mr Major: ‘He has carried out his duties well.’ Asked whether he had become a great prime minister yet, Lady Thatcher replied: ‘Give him a little bit more time, a little more time – and no threat of leadership elections.’She continued: ‘They should put all their effort on supporting the Prime Minister and on seeing the policies of the next Queen’s Speech through Parliament and on sorting out the finances.’Asked what had led to a ’sea change’ in her attitude to Mr Major she retorted: ‘The sea-change came with his speech at this party conference and also speeches made by other Cabinet ministers.’Lady Thatcher’s remarks coincided with the release of her memoirs, in which she suggests that Mr Major did not start as a man of the right and in which she says he hesitated before promising his support for her in a second leadership ballot in November 1990.

And with two very young, still unproven receivers at the third and fourth spots on the depth chart, Miller’s role should be big.If Steelers’ offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and Roethlisberger look his way as often as they need to this season, I expect Miller to reach 50,and possibly 60 receptions for wellover 650, or 700 yards and around six to eight TDs.A pretty big year for a guy like him in an offense like Pittsburgh’s..

Since theLDS8710 family operates at a fixed switching frequency, small low profilepassive components (10 – 22 mH inductors and 0.1 mF high voltage ceramiccapacitors) can be used, which further reduces the system’s bill ofmaterial and allows for a thin backlight unit profile. Moreover, the useof the 40-V rated integrated synchronous rectifier makes the efficiencydependent upon only one external component parameter: the inductor DCR.This further simplifies the system design, while simultaneously achievinggreater than 83% efficiency.”We are pleased to bring to the market the first LED Driver familyfeaturing our patent-pending integrated synchronous rectifier. This novelarchitecture has been thought out with one main goal in mind: simplify ourcustomers’ design experience and accelerate their time-to-market,” saidDonato Montanari, Vice President at Leadis. “By reducing the number ofexternal components, allowing customers to pre-select maximum currentratings, implementing robust protection (over voltage, under voltage, overtemperature and over current) and offering wide PWM dimming frequencies(100Hz to 10K Hz), every feature of the LDS8710 family is meant to improveour customer’s time-to-market and reduce their bill of material.”About the LDS8710, LDS8716 and LDS8714The LDS8710 is a fixed 0.7MHz frequency, current mode, boost converterwith internal 40-V rated synchronous rectifier and cycle-by-cycle switchcurrent-limit. The device operates down to 2.5V to accommodate newchemistry Li-ion single-cell batteries or two-cell alkaline batteries.Under-voltage protection disables the part at a threshold of 2.1V. Thermalshut-down is set at 150 degrees C, above which the boost converter stopsswitching. Normal operation is resumed when temperature drops below 130degrees C.

Output over-voltage protection prevents system damage if oneLED is accidentally disconnected. The EN/PWM pin functions both as logicchip-enable pin with low shut down current ( < 1uA) and as LED-currentPWM control pin. The LDS8710, LDS8716 and LDS8714 are available in a tiny2 x 3 x 0.8 mm 8-pin TDFN package Samples of the LDS8710 are availablenow.
