Despite having the world's highest number of people receiving antiretroviral therapy -- about 850,000 -- there are millions more who cannot access the life-saving drugs they need, either because they are too expensive or simply not available. This leads to more than 350,000 HIV related deaths each year in the country. REUTERS/Finbarr O'Reilly

Researchers now estimate some 450,000 whites, of a total white population of 4.5 million, live below the poverty line and 100,000 are struggling just to survive in places such as Coronation Park, a former caravan camp currently home to more than 400 white squatters.  Picture taken March 9, 2010.

Alexandre Bilodeau - This meant a lot to Canadians; the story is like a fairy tale.
Freestyle-skier Alexandre Bilodeau carved his way into history by claiming Canada's first-ever gold medal on home soil at the Vancouver Olympics in February.

Bilodeau's triumph in the moguls competition was the moment Canadians had been desperately waiting for, after being shut out at two previous Games. Celebrations erupted across the country.

"It's just the beginning, I think," Bilodeau said — and he wasn't kidding.

Bilodeau became a household name overnight and Canadian athletes topped the podium 13 more times, winning more gold than any other country.




Mark Zuckerberg
In choosing Mark Zuckerberg as its 2010 Person of the Year, Time magazine cited the 26-year-old Facebook founder "for changing how we all live our lives."

Zuckerberg's own life was in the spotlight this fall, with the release of a Hollywood movie — The Social Network — about his rise from enterprising Harvard student to billionaire tech titan.

Throughout it all, the Facebook social networking site continued its astounding growth, picking up its 500-millionth member in July.





Liu Xiaobo
An empty chair sat on the stage when the Nobel committee handed out its Peace Prize on Dec. 10. The Chinese government would not let recipient Liu Xiaobo travel to Oslo to accept his award.

Liu — serving an 11-year prison term for his role in writing Charter 08, a paper calling for political reforms in China — has found himself at the centre of an international firestorm ever since the award was announced in October.

Western leaders called on China to release Liu immediately. Beijing reacted with fury, calling Liu a criminal and denouncing Western interference in the country's affairs.

Naah I am not Cool at all.. :hehe:

Too Hot? :

Tony Hayward
Tony Hayward, the former chief executive of BP, became the human face of an unprecedented environmental disaster in April after the Deepwater Horizon offshore rig exploded and sank in the U.S. Gulf Coast.

The company couldn't stop the flow of crude oil from the wreckage until July — but by then, almost five million barrels worth had seeped out, throwing the region's tourism and fishing industries into disarray.

Before stepping down as CEO in July, Hayward was also plagued by a series of public relations gaffes.

He publicly downplayed the amount of oil being leaked, shrugged off the spill's environmental impacts and said he would "like his life back" from dealing with the crisis — a comment that enraged some, because 11 people were killed in the initial blast.





Chilean miners
The world held its collective breath in October as 33 Chilean miners were pulled to safety in a dramatic rescue effort.

"Los 33," as they are known, had been trapped deep underground since a cave-in at the Copiapo mine site in August.

Television cameras beamed back unforgettable images of the miners, one by one, being winched up from the depths in a metal capsule called the Phoenix.

Juan Illanes (pictured) was the third to emerge from the mine and was greeted by his wife, Carmen.





David Cameron
Britain's Conservative party celebrated the end of more than a decade of Labour rule in May.

But it was a close shave for new Prime Minister David Cameron, who didn't secure an outright majority of seats and entered a coalition government with the left-leaning Liberal Democrats.

Minority government has not made Cameron a meek leader. The 44-year-old has embarked on a bold austerity program, slashing government budgets in order to reduce an estimated $244-billion deficit for the current fiscal year.

Cameron also became only the second U.K. prime minister in modern times to become a parent while in office. His wife, Samantha, gave birth to daughter Florence Rose Endellion in August.
