Gates and Turner saving Africa?
LOGAN, Utah—After witnessing Ted Turner and Bill and Melinda Gates getting off a private jet together in Africa to meet with local African officials, I talked to them about their new philanthropic plans.
It is very odd for Bill and Ted to be working together, due to events in the past where there seems to be a competition on who can donate the best money. This time it’s a little different. Malik Ok, an African Mayor, told us that some of the plans Bill and Ted have are to work with the World Health Organization to educate the people of Africa on common sanitary. "I like the philosophy of educating the people, because what happens when the free clothes and food are gone? We are back to where we started." Malik told us. Turner and the Gates are going to work to actually teach the people how to get clothes, vaccines, shelters, etc.
Bill told us that his trip to Africa was successful and they are working on a plan. Hopefully this means they will be executing action soon.

Utah Jazz with another win
SALT LAKE CITY— Utah Jazz take down the San Antonio Spurs with a final score of 106-99.
Just one game after the 3-pointer franchise record breaker against the Washington Wizards, the Jazz break it again with 16 3-pointers. Kyle Korver making all three of his 3-pointers was a big help in that.
Ronnie Brewer is said to be the key to this win over the Spurs. Regardless of his right groin injury, he made the winning 3-pointer. "The doctor says I’ll be okay, I was just happy to be in the game at all."
C.J. Miles had his career high with 30 points. Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer kept up their regular great playing habits, doing the double-double yet again.
Coach Jerry Sloan said, "I give my team credit for defense … we had some great stops in the last couple of minutes … I’m proud of my guys."
Even having the flu, Mehmet Okur had a great game with 14 points, he commented that, "the teams hard work is really going to pay off in the playoffs."
