Story highlights
- Les Enfants De Dieu is a care center that gives food and shelter to street kids in Kigali, Rwanda
- The center's 126 boys, aged 6 to 18, love to dance and are passionate about hip-hop
- UK hip-hop dancers traveled to Kigali last year to teach the children how to "break"
- The project was captured in "Yes, Man," a film to be shown at London's Africa Utopia festival
(CNN)Sporting a black t-shirt proudly proclaiming "Live 2 Break," a group of grinning boys form a slightly jagged circle inside a dusty yard on the outskirts of Kigali, Rwanda's capital.
Inside the circle a bandana-wearing dance instructor spins from his back onto his chest flaring his legs high in the air in a V-shape. The boys respond to his virtuoso dance moves with claps and cheers before taking to the floor themselves, twisting and turning as they try to perfect their breakdance moves.
They are part of an uplifting dance project at Les Enfants De Dieu, a residential care center working to transform the lives of former street children in Rwanda.
The center accommodates 126 boys aged six to 18 who, apart from their tough upbringing, share a deep passion for an art form that also originated in the streets: Hip-hop.
"Once their basic needs are fulfilled, they need to nourish their spirit, their self-esteem and their pride in themselves," says Nicola Triscott, co-founder of Catalyst Rwanda, a UK-based group that organizes art programs for vulnerable youth.
"I think hip-hop really helps to do that, because it's such a young person's art form -- it came off the streets and it's about one-on-one teaching. There's this great spirit of sharing in hip hop," she adds.
Last year, Catalyst Rwanda responded to the kids' wish to learn how to "break" -- hip-hop's original dance form -- by taking legendary British breaker Pervez to the tiny African country.
The project was an instant success: For 10 days, the center's courtyards were turned into makeshift dance floors as Pervez taught the children how to develop their breaking skills and allowed them to express themselves.
"I remember the first day when the people came here to teach them how to dance hip-hop, I was really, myself, in heaven," says Rafiki Callixte, 43, project manager at the center.
He says the children were living a tough, hopeless life in the streets. They had no time to laugh or relax as they always had to take care of themselves.
Their story has been immortalized in "Yes, Man!" a short documentary film screening Thursday at the Africa Utopia festival in London.
"Now, to see them smiling, without stress, (being) enthusiastic, open, very active and then seeing also some children around appreciating the ones who were dancing, you could understand how dancing is helping them to come out of themselves, to express their inner harmony, their inner happiness and forget the hard life they have experienced."
Old friends meet again
It all began after Triscott received a Facebook message from Callixte in 2010, asking her if she still remembered him.
The two had met in the early 1990s in Rwanda when Nicola was traveling across Africa. They became friends and stayed in touch via mail but in 1994, as Rwanda was being torn apart by genocide, their communication broke down.
Triscott knew that Callixte was in danger and assumed that he had died, as he hadn't replied to the last letter she sent him in 1994. Callixte was alive and had only lost her address.
He had been a teacher before the war, and in the years after the genocide, he embarked on a mission to help his country's vulnerable street children, including those orphaned by the genocide and by HIV/AIDS. He joined Les Enfants De Dieu in 2004.
Soon after receiving Callixte's Facebook message, Nicola jumped on a plane to visit her old friend. It was while in Kigali that she discovered his inspiring work at the center's children.
"I thought they were an extraordinary group of young men," remembers Triscott, 47, who noticed "how much they loved hip hop," so she asked them if there was anything she could do to help.
"We'd really like proper hip-hop dance lessons," the boys told Triscott, prompting her to return to Rwanda with Pervez last November.
Genocide aftermath
In Rwanda, where 800,000 people died in just 100 days during the 1994 genocide , nearly 43% of the population are children up to 14 years old. An estimated one million orphans and "other vulnerable children" live in the country, according to UNICEF.
Les Enfants De Dieu says that communities are not often able to deal with the direct and indirect effects of the genocide, leading to thousands of children taking to the streets. Many of them suffer from neglect and abuse, while others resort to drug use.
The center, which was founded in 2002, provides the boys with food, a place to sleep and healthcare. It also offers sports training, as well as education at school and vocational training at various centers -- all part of efforts to help the children remove the trauma of street life through rehabilitation. Ultimately, the center's goal is to reintegrate the children into the society once they are entirely rehabilitated.
"Children of the street are children like the others," says former street kid Willy in "Yes, Man!"
"When they get love, they are children like the others. So, when they get someone who helps them, who takes care of them, they will become a real man," adds Willy, 18, who spent four and a half years on the street before going to live at Les Enfants De Dieu.
Catalyst Rwanda is planning to bring more professional hip-hop dancers to Rwanda this year to show the children more moves and boost their confidence.
Callixte says dancing has given hope back to the children, prompting some to even start composing their own songs. "They love hip hop so much. Now, many of them are dancing to songs they have made themselves."
He says this is only the beginning.
"When you see them dancing, when you see them smiling, when you see them expressing themselves, when you see them appreciating each other ... you can never think about stopping that project."

There are some people, in any given industry, that have what it takes to lead. Not just thrive. Not just innovate. But to actually move the chains of what is possible, and drag the rest of us along with it.
When Joe Konrath talks, you're listening to one of those people.
On the great football field of independent publishing, Joe is a starting quarterback, calling the shots, making the big plays. He's got championship rings in the form of million dollar paydays and exclusive deals with Amazon. He's got widely celebrated contests with opponents that are filmed and studied and voted on by the public at large.
Me, I'm just a second string receiver. A utility player. I wasn't drafted high, there wasn't any fanfare. Nobody is screaming my name when I run out on the field.
They're doing what many of you are doing now. Scratching your heads going, Schaffer? Never heard of him. But I've got a little scrap in me. A little fight. If you give me a chance, I'll go all out trying to prove I deserve to be on the field.
When a major player like Joe Konrath says he's got an idea for something new, I stop what I'm doing, and I pay attention. And when he says he will give you a chance to ride his coattails and play in his sandbox, well, you'd be foolish not to at least try.
It was scary, to be honest.
When Joe first put the call out for submittals to the Jack Daniels universe, I had two immediate thoughts. One, I want to work with that guy and learn whatever I can from him. Two, it would seriously suck to be rejected.
Every artist must believe in themselves before they expect others to do so, though, so I sucked it up and got to work. I quickly banged out a 12k story that would later be called Cheese Wrestling and shipped it off. Fingers crossed. Impatiently checking my email for a response. I was proud of it, sure, but what really surprised me was that I felt good inside the Jack Daniels world. Pretty damn comfortable actually.
When I got the acceptance email from Joe, it came with a challenge. He told me the short story was good, but novels sold better. Why didn't I step up to the plate and take a swing?
Now that was an animal of an altogether different sort.
Short stories get banged out. Sure, they're well-crafted and worthy, and sure some are literature, but the point is they can get done quickly. You aren't devoting a huge amount of resources and time to them, which is why they sell fairly cheaply.
But a novel is art. A novel is a statement of an author that speaks to where they are in their writing career and life. It is a landmark event, a personal statement, and if you're a writer worth a damn, a decent chunk of blood, sweat, and tears.
Obviously not everybody feels the same way. You can find thousands of novels, or novel-sized ramblings, that are as devoid of life as a reality starlet. But not from someone who actually lives this life.
Joe Konrath lives it. I live it too. I think that's why he and I get along. Oh, and also, because he's certifiably batshit crazy. But more on that in a moment.
The first thing I knew I needed for a proper Jack Daniels novel was a good drink name. All her books are named after mixed drinks, and I knew I needed a good one. Something interesting. Eye-catching. Unique. Turns out, that's easier said than done.
I scoured the Internet for interesting drinks and all the good ones had been taken. But I kept digging. I needed something nasty. Something muscular. Something dangerous.
Snake Wine.
Snake Wine is an actual drink, enjoyed mainly in Southeast Asia. Those crazy bastards take a cobra and let it ferment inside a bottle of alcohol, garnishing it with charming accouterments like scorpions and other snakes. Then, they drink it.
With that title in hand, I got to work straight away. I wrote Snake Wine in three weeks. It just came pouring out of me. I already knew Jack's character from Cheese Wrestling, and by God, if Joe Konrath wanted to throw me a touchdown pass, I was going to break every bone in my body trying to catch it.
When I finished the book I knew that it was a damned good story. No, scratch that. It was a damned good novel. I also knew that if Joe didn't accept it, I would burn the manuscript and never use it for anything else.
Snake Wine is, before anything else, a Jack Daniels book. It's infused with her heart and soul and I'd rather destroy it than slap a different name on the character and try to pass it off as my own.
Joe sounded a little surprised when I called him just a few weeks later and said I had taken him up on his challenge, and the novel was ready. I told him I'd found the perfect title, and no matter what else we changed about the book, it had to stay. It was completely unique, and nobody, but nobody, had ever even heard of Snake Wine.
And here's where Joe proved to me what a maniac he really is.
He listened to me describing the bottling process, how they stuff a cobra into the flask, and ferment it, and he stops me in mid-sentence and says, "I know."
"You know? What do you mean you know. Nobody knows about this."
"I do. I've got a bottle of it on my shelf and I'm looking right at it."
Well, as it turns out, ladies and gentlemen, it was not bullshit. Joe texted me a picture of his personal bottle of Snake Wine, and that is the photo we wound up using for the cover.
See what I'm taking about? That's why he's the top dog. You think you've got him finally one-upped, and the man just dunks on you.
One final thing before I go. Cheese Wrestling was a collaborative effort between both of us. I sent Joe the original story, and he Konrath'd it up, and it's a much stronger piece as a result.
However, he actually wrote two different versions of his edit that read like completely different stories. We are packaging all three in a "Directors's Cut" special edition for Kindle Worlds, which might interest fellow authors out there who want to see what the collaboration process looks like.
Snake Wine is all mine, with one secret, thrillingly awesome fact, that I hope Joe doesn't mind me sharing with you.
He edited the book.
In the midst of high-profile debates, major publishing deals, family duties, writing, and the responsibilities of running the massive Konrath empire, he took the time to edit my book.
So, while Snake Wine is my vision of Jack Daniels and her world, it does have traces of her creator, and direct lineage. I'm sure if people like it, it's a world I'll be returning to in the future.
Also, for the record, Joe not only owns a bottle of snake wine. He's also tried it. What does fermented cobra soaked in grain alcohol taste like, you wonder?
"Death," Joe told me, very matter-of-factly. "Snake wine tastes like death."
Which, given the nature of my book, is very fitting, indeed.
Joe sez: You can buy the novel SNAKE WINE on Amazon for just $3.99. It goes down a lot smoother than actual snake wine, which is the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth. Everyone who tries it agrees. No one can do a full shot. Ten drops is the most anyone can handle. Remember being a kid and walking through a field and turning over a piece of cardboard and seeing a dead mouse or rat or snake or frog? Remember that smell? Well, liquefy it and drink it, and that's what snake wine tastes like.
The book is a lot better.
CHEESE WRESTLING is also available for $1.99, and was a lot of fun for me to work on. Three versions of the same story for one cheap price. Check it out if you haven't, and also check out Schaffer's work. Start with SUPERBIA.
Schaffer forgot to mention that he's a cop, so it has been interesting for me, who writes about cops, to talk to one and see how he fictionalizes the truths he lives every day. If you're looking for truth in your thriller fiction, look no further.
Check him out, and check out other Jack Daniels and Associates Kindle Worlds stories, 45 and counting. Think you can write better stories than some of these? Prove it by doing it. Looking for new authors to read? If you like my writing, give these a try.
Summer is here. Read. Now.

San Diegans and people across the country learned that Jerry Coleman, a decorated baseball player, war hero and broadcaster, had passed away at Scripps Memorial Hospital.
Coleman, considered a local treasure by a heavily military town, was born Sept. 14, 1924 in San Jose and died at the age of 89. He suffered from head injuries in a December fall at his La Jolla home in addition to pneumonia.
Local baseball fans knew Coleman as the voice of the San Diego Padres since 1972, interrupted for only one season when he became the on-field manager of the team in 1980. His occasional verbal malaprops, which became known as "Colemanisms" further endeared him to regular listeners.
A favorite of fans was when Coleman made the call as former Padre Dave Winfield chased a long fly ball to center field.
"Winfield hit his head against the wall, and it's rolling toward the infield!"
Coleman, ever humble about his many accomplishments, endeared himself to countless people across the United States for his service as a U.S. Marine Corps pilot. He delayed his debut as a professional baseball player to serve in World War II and then left the New York Yankees to serve in the Korean War, flying 120 total career missions, receiving two Distinguished Flying Crosses and 13 Air Medals and three Navy Citations.
A member of the U.S. Marine Corps Sports Hall of Fame, Coleman is the only major league baseball player in history to see combat in two wars.
A vintage F4U Corsair fighter-bomber in the markings of Coleman's plane during the Korean conflict and an SBD Dauntless dive bomber like the one he flew in World War II are on display at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, where he was named to the Hall of Fame in 2011.
His military service earned him the nickname "The Colonel," after he achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.
In interviews, Coleman fondly recalled his military service as the greatest time of his life.
"Your country is bigger than baseball," he said.
Coleman's major league playing career with the Yankees began as a second baseman in 1949 when he hit .275 and was named Associated Press Rookie of the Year. He made the American League All-Star team in 1950 before being named Most Valuable Player in that season's World Series on a team that included Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto and Johnny Mize.
In his final season in 1957, Coleman batted .364 in the World Series against the Milwaukee Braves. He appeared in six World Series, earning four championship rings.
A meeting with legendary sportscaster Howard Cosell convinced Coleman to enter broadcasting and he began in 1960 with CBS television. Eventually, after two seasons with the California Angels, Coleman was named lead radio announcer for the Padres.
His signature phrases were "Oh, Doctor!" following an amazing on-field event and "You can hang a star on that, baby!" when an assistant would swing a large gold star hanging from a stick out the window of the stadium's broadcast booth to the cheers of fans.
Coleman was given the Ford C. Frick Award of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005 and entered the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2007.
He co-authored an autobiography, "An American Journey: My Life on the Field, In the Air and On the Air" in 2008 with New York Times writer Richard Goldstein.
Coleman also left indelible impressions on the communities in San Diego, especially La Jolla. He and his family had a long and enduring relationship with The Bishop's School, where the health and fitness room is named The Coleman Family Health and Fitness Center and where annually, the Jerry Coleman Athletic Leadership Award is given to a captain of a Bishop's upper school athletic team, often presented to the student by Coleman himself.
A free public memorial service will be held Saturday, Jan. 18 at Petco Park. Special guests from throughout his lifetime will be featured speakers.
The gates open at 9:30 a.m. for fans to enter through the East Village entrance on 10th Avenue, or the Park Boulevard gate. Free parking will be available on Imperial Avenue at the Parcel C and Tailgate lots, as well as the Padres Parkade garage at 10th Avenue and J Street.
The Coleman family suggests donations to the Semper Fi Fund (www.sem-perfifund.org), a nonprofit organization that provides immediate financial assistance and lifetime support for injured and critically ill members of the U.S. military and their families.

Author Notes: This recipe is based on one my grandmother used to make (and my mother still makes.) The original is for apples, specifically green apples, as in not yet ripe apples. The crust is a tender, sweet pastry crust, and my grandma and mom make it by hand. (I like the food processor, but whichever method your prefer will work.) A simple powdered sugar glaze is applied shortly after it comes out of the oven. It is typically served at room temperature, but it's also good slightly warm. It can be eaten for a sweet breakfast treat, or as a dessert or snack.
I have been experimenting with different fruit and herb fillings. My husband's favorite (so far) is the pear rosemary. I've added rosemary to the dough as well as the filling. In the first version the filling oozed juice, so I decided to add a grated Granny Smith for some extra pectin. A small amount of sugar & lemon add just enough sweetness and zing to the rosemary scented pear filling. I used Starkrimson pears, and left the skins on. I think any firm ripe pear would work, and I leave the skins up to you!
If you want to make the apple version, use green apples, no rosemary, no lemon zest or juice, and 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar in the filling. My grandma would just layer the apples straight into the crust then sprinkle with the sugar, salt, and butter. - hardlikearmour —hardlikearmour
Food52 Review: This isn't your squishy grocery store danish. Even after being draped with a festive trail of icing, every inch of the dish maintains its integrity -- from the flaky, rosemary-flecked crust to the firm, sweet bites of pear in their gentle tart-savory sauce. This recipe is meant to feed a crowd and is just as good warm, room temperature, and even cold the next day (or two). In other words, it's the perfect holiday breakfast. - A&M —The Editors
Makes: 13- by 9- inch pan
cup unsalted butter, chilled
tablespoon chopped rosemary
cup sugar
teaspoon salt
2 & 2/3
cups all-purpose flour
large egg
Pear Rosemary filling
2 1/2 to 2 3/4
pounds firm-ripe pears
Granny Smith apple
2 to 3
teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
teaspoon finely chopped lemon zest
tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 to 4
teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons whole milk or half-and-half
- Cut butter into 1/2-inch cubes and place in the freezer. Chop enough rosemary for the crust and filling. Preheat your oven to 400º F with a rack in the lower middle position.
- Combine sugar, salt, and rosemary in the bowl of a food processor. Process for 30 to 60 seconds to further break up the rosemary, and infuse the sugar with the oil. Add the flour and process for 10 to 15 seconds.
- Scatter the butter cubes over the flour mixture, then pulse to combine, about 12 to 15 one-second pulses. The mixture should resemble wet sand, with some pea-sized pieces of butter. Transfer mixture to a medium sized bowl.
- In a small bowl whisk the egg and 2 tablespoons of water to combine. Sprinkle the egg mixture over the flour mixture and fold to combine. I generally start with a fork or spoon, then use my hands once the dough has started to come together. You may need to add another tablespoon or so of water to get the dough to come together. It is a fairly soft dough, but it should not be overly sticky.
- Divide the dough into 2 unequal portions, the larger being about 2/3 of the dough. Place the smaller portion in the refrigerator.
- Flour your counter top or a piece of parchment paper. Use a generous amount of flour to prevent the dough from sticking from the counter. Sprinkle the top of the dough lightly with flour as needed to prevent sticking to the rolling pin. Roll the larger portion of the dough out into a rectangle that is large enough to fit into the bottom, and up and slightly over the sides of a 13- by 9-inch baking pan. (About 17 to 18 inches by 13 to 14 inches.)
- Roll the dough onto your rolling pin, then transfer the dough to your pan by unrolling it off. Press into the bottom and sides of the dough into the pan. If needed patch tears with some of the dough overhang or by pressing together with your fingers. (The dough is pretty malleable.)
- Set pan aside, and make your filling.
Pear Rosemary filling
- Quarter and core pears. Cut each quarter into 4 or 5 chunks. Place in medium sized bowl.
- Grate apple on the large holes of a box grater into the bowl containing the pears. Add the rosemary, lemon zest and juice, sugar. Toss until well combined.
- Transfer pear mixture to the prepared crust. Distribute evenly. Sprinkle with salt. Dot with butter, and set aside.
- Roll smaller piece of crust dough into a 13- by 9-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Transfer to the top of the pear mixture. Fold or roll the bottom crust over the top crust and flute the edges or use a fork to press the edges. (I roll the dough down if I want to flute it, or fold it for a more rustic fork-finished edge.) Dock the surface of the crust with a fork.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes, turning the danish 180º after 25 to 30 minutes. The edges of the crust should be nicely browned and the top of the crust should be golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
- Whisk the glaze ingredients together, and drizzle over the danish after it has been cooling for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool at least several hours or overnight before cutting and serving.

Why Gold Is Likely to Continue Lower
If stocks and other risky assets turn lower and short-term rates become even more negative, gold may be able to break out of its bear market.
What did appear to be significant were what I dubbed "pseudo-real" short-term interest rates, the difference between one-year Treasuries and the trailing rate of reported inflation, and the downward deviation of long-term interest rates produced by Operation Twist and its various QE supplements. Gold could rise if the short-term pseudo-rates fell, which was difficult to achieve when nominal rates were near 0% and reported inflation was declining. It could also rise if the yield curve steepened bearishly and made long-term financial assets such as stocks less attractive. As stocks have been in an uninterrupted bull market since the end of November 2011, that was a difficult hurdle for gold to overcome.
Twist and Peak
As before, let's map the total returns for the Dow Jones-UBS Gold Subindex against those for both 7-10 year Treasuries and high-yield corporate bonds across four different monetary regimes:
2. August 2007 to the adoption of 0% interest rates on December 16, 2008;
3. December 2008 to the August 10, 2011 twist announcement; and
4. Post-August 2011.
I noted the following in April:
In the case of 7-10 year Treasuries, the relationship between the first and third periods is statistically identical; the financial crisis period understandably was different. However, all three of these periods had a positive relationship; the current one is different from the others with near-100% confidence.
This has changed now as long-term interest rates have increased and are likely to remain under some modicum of upward pressure as the Federal Reserve will be printing only $75 billion per month as opposed to $85 billion per month. The restoration of a positive correlation is the good news for gold; the bad news is that correlation is positive by virtue of both gold and long-term bonds sporting negative returns.
The map is different for high-yield bonds as could be expected given the risk-seeking effects of artificially low long-term interest rates. The negative relationship prevailing in the post-August 2011 twist period remains intact.
Negative Real Rates
The real rate for 10-year Treasuries in April was -0.568%; it has increased to 0.755% at the time of this writing, and real Treasury rates are negative "only" out to the six-year horizon. If these real rates keep rising out of surging credit demand and a restrictive supply of funds, we would have to regard it as a negative for risky assets. If – and I say this as a statement and not as a forecast – stocks and other risky assets turned lower and demand for short-term instruments surged to the point where short-term rates became even more negative, then gold's bear market could end.
Restated, gold's best hope is for the rest of the world to roll up in a ball and die. I will leave it to others to decide whether true gold bugs would be pleased at this outcome. Otherwise, look for gold to continue moving lower.

Five years ago today, Hurricane Wilma ripped across Florida and into the record books as the third costliest storm in U.S. history, and the most damaging hurricane ever to strike Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Tens of thousands of South Floridians lost electricity, schools and businesses were shut down for days, gas lines were blocks long and destruction was so widespread that many roofs have yet to be repaired.
Wilma spurred the state and many South Florida communities to better prepare for the next disaster. New state and local laws call for back-up generators to power water treatment plants and gas stations, tighter building codes and improvements to emergency shelters and warning systems.
In Cooper City, commissioners even passed an ordinance that allows the temporary appropriation of private boats and chain saws if needed to save lives. "With a natural disaster, who knows?" said Cooper City Mayor Debby Eisinger. "I can't guarantee we won't lose electricity. But I'm confident we're better prepared."
Wilma's final toll: five dead in Florida, $20 billion in damage, and a haunting awareness that even a mid-size hurricane can cause enduring disruption.
"We still haven't recovered, financially or emotionally," said Sandra Nelson, 36, president of one of four homeowners' associations at the hard-hit Stonebridge Gardens, a condominium complex in Lauderhill that is pockmarked with vacancies and foreclosures and may be teetering toward receivership.
In Palm Beach County, the higher-income residents of Huntington Lakes, a senior community west of Delray Beach, are faring a little better. After years of legal wrangling and special assessments, they have money in the bank.
But final repairs to 41 Huntington Lakes roofs damaged by Wilma began only this month, and only after a $6.8 million settlement from insurance carriers.
"Wilma left us with a lot of chaos," said condominium association president Walter Peller, 96. "We are coping pretty well, but it's an ongoing job."
In the aftermath of the storm, thousands of homes in Broward and Palm Beach counties were covered with blue tarps, stalks of sugar cane in fields near Lake Okeechobee were flattened, and the streets of downtown Fort Lauderdale were littered with glass. Among the buildings made instantly uninhabitable when the windows blew out were the 14-story Broward School Board's building, called the Crystal Palace, and the county courthouse.
"Wilma really woke people up to fact that a hurricane that's a direct hit doesn't have to be real severe to cause problems, especially if you lose electricity," said Tony Carper, who was Broward County's emergency management director at the time.
"We were at the end of hurricane season, and everyone was tired," he said. "There had been so much activity in 2004 [with Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne], and many people here had been to New Orleans to help with Katrina. So people had just about had it."
Statewide, the Legislature earmarked $52.8 million to install emergency power generators in special needs shelters, including three schools in Broward County: Sunset School in Fort Lauderdale; McNicoll Middle School in Hollywood, and Davie's Indian Ridge Middle School.
Another $45 million was set aside for new county emergency operation center construction.
In Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties, more than 60 gas stations located within a half-mile of an interstate highway or evacuation route are required to have back-up generators. And many more stores — including gas stations and grocery stores in that display the "Hurricane Ready" decal — are prepared to stay powered up if power is lost.
The state's largest utility, Florida Power & Light, has spent $623 million since Wilma to protect the power grid, trimming trees along 47,000 miles of power lines, inspecting a half-million utility poles and upgrading equipment near every major hospital. Irene White, FPL's senior director of customer support, stopped short of saying there would be no outages when the next storm hits. But, she said, "Do I feel good work has been done? Absolutely."
The state's Department of Transportation, working with counties, have storm-proofed thousands of intersections by replacing hanging signals with more sturdy mast arms. "After Wilma, there was not a functioning traffic light in Broward County," said Carper, now retired. "Traffic is usually bad here, but that was a nightmare."
Wireless companies have.erected hundreds of new towers since Wilma to handle capacity increases.
The storm also took out tens of thousands of trees in South Florida, including those critical to providing shade. "We lost so many trees," said Carol Morgenstern, a spokeswoman for the Broward Parks and Recreation Department, "especially those without strong root system."
But since 2005, the Parks Department has planted 30,386 replacement trees, including 15,000 canopy trees such as live oak and gumbo limbo,
In Palm Beach County, a new computer system and a rewritten disaster plan means faster communication between the Emergency Operations Center and storm victims, said public safety director Vince Bonvento. The plan divides the county into six zones, overseen in emergencies by teams who have been drilled to set up local command posts.
The county also has contracted with the Cheney Brothers, the Riviera Beach-based food distributors, to haul in food, water and ice after a storm. "We want to be much more proactive, and make delivering supplies to the people in gated communities and others in need much more efficient," said Bonvento.
Of course, the best-laid plans are useless if not followed, warn emergency managers. "What we know from Wilma is that late-season storms can be a problem, and power can be out for a week or two," said Chuck Lanza, director of the Broward County emergency management director. "So people need to be ready."
Peller, who has been president of his Section 2 condominium association in Huntington Lakes for 26 years, thought he and his neighbors were ready. But Wilma lifted roofs, uprooted scores of trees and ravaged residents' sense of well-being.
"We had to spend $55,000 the very next day to secure the buildings with tarps and plywood," said Peller, a retired restaurateur from New York. The complex was without power for 10 days.
In addition to long-delayed roof repairs now under way, residents also are reminded of Wilma by continuing legal issues. Last month the 55-and-older community sued a former attorney, accusing the Fort Lauderdale firm of fraud and misrepresentation while handling its property insurance claims after the storm.
"Now we know what to expect from our insurance company — which is not too much — and we know what to do to be prepared for something like this, which is have a reserve fund," said Neal Judas, 69.
Hurricane Wilma was an unusual storm in all sorts of ways. It blew into Florida through the back door, coming up from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, and moving across the state from southwest to northeast. Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties all took a pounding during the four and a half hours the storm was over land.
And although winds topped 100 miles an hour in South Florida, Wilma was not the most powerful system of the hectic 2005 season. Nor was it the most notorious of the year. Hurricane Katrina claims that distinction.
But Wilma took a toll.
Among those eventually driven out of South Florida by Hurricane Wilma were Edgar Schneider, 80, and his wife Alix Kazan. When their home, along with 400 others in Stonebridge Gardens, was condemned, they rented for more than two years while awaiting an insurance settlement.
When that dragged on, they finally gave up. In 2007 they sold the unit where they had lived for nine years for a cut-rate price of $37,000 and moved to Georgia.
"We just wanted out," said Schneider, who worked as a mathematician for IBM. "And they only way I'd come back to Florida now is in chains and at the point of a deadly weapon."

Yes, i have turned to Twitter when I had something to say to a company. I find it easier than sitting on hold or wondering if they got an email. And when you send an email, they tend to just send a form letter back. Making a Public Complaint on Twitter will sometimes grab their attention faster.
Hell, look at what the Motrin Moms did using social media when they were pissed off.
Watch on youtube.com
Michelle also ask about Facebook, but I am not a fan of using FB to get attention. It is to closed off. I think you can get viral attention much faster if needed with Twitter.
I have no If about using Youtube either. Make a video with your complaint and then push it with Twitter, your blog, forums...Youtube can be embedded by anyone and could cause a real stir once you find your target audience to share it.
Now, we also have Google Plus that is very searchable! Oh yes, we will be trying that out I am sure.

This new "APA members-initiated" proposal is spear-headed by Linda Woolf, the task force chair, and Ellen Garrison, APA's Senior Policy advisor and "staff liaison" for the task force. None of the supporters of the successful 2008 APA member referendum to end psychologist participation at national security sites that fail to meet international human rights standards have been asked to participate on the new "task force." Other task force members include psychologists Laura Brown, Kathleen Dockett, Julie Meranze Levitt, and Bill Strickland.
As Coalition for an Ethical Psychology note in their statement reproduced below, three of the five current task force members actually opposed that referendum, which was passed with nearly 60& of the vote. The referendum has never been operationally instituted by APA, which has failed to date to ever state its opposition, for instance, to the presence of psychologists at Guantanamo, a US national security setting long held to be out of compliance with international human rights standards.
But the facilitators of US torture at APA (despite their verbiage to the contrary) must never read articles like this one from only last month:
(Reuters) – The United States is still flouting international law at Guantanamo Bay, despite President Barack Obama's election pledge to shut the facility, the United Nations human rights chief Navi Pillay said on Monday.
"It is ten years since the U.S. Government opened the prison at Guantanamo, and now three years since 22 January 2009, when the President ordered its closure within twelve months. Yet the facility continues to exist and individuals remain arbitrarily detained – indefinitely – in clear breach of international law," Pillay said in a statement.
The PENS report was fatally compromised by the overwhelming presence of national security/military psychologists. The new "task force" may be slightly differently constituted, as it is heavily loaded with members from APA's Division 48, the Society for the Study of Peace, Conflict, and Violence. But then, we have been living in an Orwellian world for decades now, and it's unlikely the new composition will fool very many people. Div. 48 is well-known for having as a group having opposed the 2008 referendum.
Task force member Dr. Stickland, from APA's Division 19, the Society for Military Psychology, is also the president of The Human Resource Research Organization (HumRRO). As Bryant Welch, himself a former APA official pointed out in an article at Huffington Post, "Today, fifty-five percent of HumRRO's budget comes from the military":
In 1951 the military established The Human Resource Research Organization (HumRRO) to develop techniques for "psychological warfare." HumRRO was run by psychologist Dr. Meredith Crawford who spent ten years as APA treasurer and was deeply involved in APA activities for three decades. Crawford's former student, Raymond Fowler, became Chief Executive Officer of APA in 1989 and stayed in that position until 2003…. The current President of HumRRO, psychologist William Strickland, has been an outspoken supporter of APA's policies on the torture issue. He served on the APA Council of Representatives throughout the APA deliberations on torture.
And so it goes.
The following is a statement (PDF) by the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology, which has been spearheading the drive to annul the PENS report. (The original statement announcing the new APA "grassroots task force," can be found here.)
Coalition Rejects New "Task Force"
With the support of the Board and Administration of the American Psychological Association (APA), a self-appointed group of APA members has just announced the creation of a "Task Force to Reconcile Policies Related to Psychologists' Involvement in National Security Settings." Superficially, the formation of this task force appears to be a step forward in addressing critical issues of human rights and professional ethics. But the Coalition for an Ethical Psychology, referenced in the task force's announcement, opposes this initiative for many reasons. Our call for annulment of the deeply flawed PENS Report has gained broad support. Yet this new task force attempts to redefine priorities and deflect attention away from this urgent issue, asserting that "the PENS report offers unique contributions to APA policy" which need to be integrated into a "unified, comprehensive APA policy." As such, this task force is primarily an "anti-annulment" initiative. If successful, its agenda will further enshrine PENS policies – policies that were adopted through a fundamentally unethical process and that resulted in grievous harm and the tarnishing of our profession.
Any attempt to clarify possible ambiguities in APA's statements and resolutions bearing on torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment should be postponed until after the PENS Report has been officially annulled. Otherwise, from the outset the presumption will be that it is ethically permissible for psychologists to serve in aggressive operational psychology[1] roles, including consultation to interrogators of national security detainees. Yet a crucial question has never received broad and open discussion: Should psychologists serve in combatant and aggressive operational capacities in military/intelligence settings where our foundational "do no harm" ethical principle is subservient to military policy? The new task force states that it will not develop any new policy. Their initiative will merely delay these much needed deliberations and possible reform.
The Coalition is also concerned about the composition of the new task force. None of its five members actively supported – and at least three actively opposed – the 2008 member-initiated Referendum prohibiting psychologists from working in national security settings that violate human rights. This Referendum was overwhelmingly endorsed by 59% of voting APA members. Moreover, several members of this task force have been vehement opponents over the past several years of most attempts to change APA policies on interrogations. The three task force members from the Peace Psychology Division (Division 48) have taken this action without any discussion with the division membership, and despite the fact that the Executive Committee officially endorsed the annulment petition two months ago.
Returning to the key issue of annulment, when reports first surfaced that psychologists were aiding and even implementing U.S. programs of torture and abuse in national security settings, the APA turned its ethics process in this domain over to the military–intelligence establishment. The resulting 2005 PENS Task Force had six of nine voting members from that area, including several members who served in chains of command publicly accused of abuses at that time. The three voting members of the PENS Task Force without military ties have all subsequently renounced the report, and two of them have denounced the process as corrupt from the start. Military-intelligence advisors who analyzed the PENS process identified it as "a social legitimization process for a decision made at higher levels of the DoD."
While stating that psychologists should not participate in abuses, the PENS Report gives the imprimatur of the APA to psychologists serving in detention and other national security operations where their activities are protected by secrecy and information is classified. The Report also reiterates the primacy of U.S. law and military regulations over professional ethics. These two assertions were all that the military and CIA needed from the PENS Task Force and PENS Report. In important ways, the remainder of the Report simply serves to obscure the importance of these two profoundly problematic conclusions.[2]
Thus far, the Coalition's petition calling for annulment of the PENS Report has been endorsed by 33 groups and organizations – including nine within APA itself – and by over 1,800 individuals. The full list is available online at www.ethicalpsychology.org/pens. Annulment is needed in order to (1) renounce the illegitimate process that enabled the military-intelligence establishment to control our profession's ethics, and (2) move the profession to engage in a thorough and independent review of the ethics of psychologists participating in various national security activities. For the reasons we have summarized here, we strongly believe that this new task force will stand in the way of annulment. Indeed, its formation is reminiscent of the back-room deals of the PENS process itself. We also believe that the narrow interests currently dominating the APA's agenda in this area must no longer supersede the ethical commitments and aspirations of the association's membership and of psychologists outside the APA. The profession's future depends on what we do now.
We therefore encourage psychologists to reject this new task force initiative, and to communicate your opposition to APA leaders, including Board members, Council members, and division officers. At the same time, we encourage you to visit the Coalition website, to review our materials on annulment of the PENS Report and, if you have not already done so, to sign our petition (www.ethicalpsychology.org/pens).

[1] Operational psychologists, who are licensed clinical psychologists, are purportedly using psychology to further military/intelligence operations, as in interrogation support. We distinguish between traditional operational psychology roles (e.g., personnel selection) and aggressive operational psychology, where psychologists are duty-bound to put the mission first and where military regulations and orders supersede the ethical standards of their profession. Further, they often work in classified settings, which severely impedes effective ethical monitoring as they and their employer can deny ethics committees access to the information necessary to adjudicate cases.
