Cesaria Evora, born in 1941 in the port town of Mindelo on the Cape Verde island of Sao Vicente, is known as the `barefoot diva` because of her propensity to appear on stage in her bare feet in support of the disadvantaged women and children of her country.
Long known as the queen of the morna, a soulful genre sung in Creole-Portuguese, she mixes her sentimental folk tunes filled with longing and sadness with the acoustic sounds of guitar, cavaquinho, violin, accordian, and clarinet.

Soares says that she is still to come to terms with the attention that going bald has gotten her. `I saw a picture of myself on foreign websites, captioned as `Bald Indian model opens Fashion Week` and the like. I`m shocked at the level it has reached now,` she asserts.

Life Is Hard
Life Is Short

It`s a movie but Imagine that their are some children and women that actually have to live this nightmare and never make it out.

Hand Shake

During their first joint visit to Haiti this week, George W. Bush appears to have wiped his hand on Bill Clinton`s shirt after shaking hands with a crowd of Haitians.
If that is what happened -- Breitbart.TV first raised the question after seeing the video below -- it builds on Barack Obama`s story of Bush`s compulsive need for hand sanitizer. But whatever Bush`s reason, it looks pretty bad.
