Logan, UT-Last Wednesday, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates and his wife Melinda were spotted getting out of a private jet with media mogul multi millionaire Ted Turner in Africa. They were in Africa to meet with local tribal leaders to discuss a possible philanthropic merger between Bill and Melinda Gates and Ted Turner in the near future.
When later questioned, Bill Gates stated that they were discussing an arrangement to combine their resources so they could create, “the biggest project that’s been undertaken in the areas of education and health.”
Gates believes that Ted is “really good at donating money and seeing the need for causes,” so their plan is to have the logistics run through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the role for Turner will be played as the financial backer. “We feel we have strengths where he has weaknesses, and he has strengths where we have weaknesses,” said Gates.
Amalik Ok, mayor of the small African community, said that he met with Mr. and Mrs. Gates and Turner last Wednesday to discuss opportunities, mostly education type opportunities. He stated, “They want to come in and teach our people how to do things better.” It is hoped that the outside aid will help the economy, which is now growing at 5%, to improve even faster. He said “we know there’s a lot of opportunity out there and a lot of good people that want to help.” He believes that this is a great idea and is very happy about the possibility.
Bill said that he and Melinda go to Africa regularly for their foundation. Their goals are to raise education in the world and erraticate disease in the world.According to mayor Ok, no specific deadlines were discussed, but their hoping to start the program within the next year.

Utah Jazz Heat It Up
Posted March 23, 2007 8:56 p.m. PT
LOS ANGELES, Calif.-- Is the Jazz back on track with two wins in a row after a four game loosing streak? With tonight’s road victory against the Los Angles Clippers at the Staples Center 106-99 it seems as though they’ve got their fire back. This is their second win following their victory against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night 104-100. Two back to back three pointers made this Jazz victory a success in the final minutes.
This was a close game up to end. With only two minutes left on the clock, the game was tied at 97. C.J. Miles set a screen for Mehmet Okur, Paul Milsap dishing it to Okur. Okur then sunk a huge three to give the Jazz the lead 100-97. The following possession Derek Fisher drove the ball down the court and topped it off with another three pointer that won the game, giving the Jazz a six point lead against the Clippers. “I love feeling like I can do something to add some energy to the fire.” said Derek Fisher after the win.
This is the first road win the Utah Jazz have had since their win against the New Orleans Hornets on March 4. Head coach Jerry Sloan said, “We've had some trouble on the road, so it feels good to get a road victory.”
Sports Illustrated Analyst, Marty Burns, believes the Jazz are prepared for the playoffs. “This game solidifies what I’ve said about Sloan all along... he's coach of the year…he can get his team together ... they were behind at first but whatever Sloan said at half time they were able to come back in with energy.” Jerry Sloan is now entering his 19th season as head coach for the Utah Jazz which is the longest tenured coach with one franchise in major professional sports.
