Other views: Homeless amid North Dakota prosperity
June 21, 2013 at 7:00 pm in The Dickinson Press
One of the unintended and apparently unanticipated consequences of rapid oil and gas development in North Dakota is a rising homeless population. It seems counterintuitive, given the exceptionally strong economy in the Oil Patch and elsewhere in the state. Continue Reading

10 Best South Beach Hotels: From Boutique to Showcase
With entire blocks of hotels on Ocean Drive and nearly every other lodging in South Beach within a few blocks walking distance of the water, the question comes down to this: How much do you need?
For instance, how much British Colonial interior design do you require? If the answer is enough to fill an issue of Architectural Digest, then you'll want to check in at The Betsy Hotel. Or, how much happy hour? If there's never too many two-for-one cocktails and tasty little bites to share, then The Pelican Hotel & Cafe, the first boutique lodging on Ocean Drive to be renovated, is the place for you.
How much pet-friendliness do you want? Stay at the W South Beach or Surfcomber Miami/South Beach, A Kimpton Hotel to find out. How much celebrity-spotting? Hotel hop, beginning with The Setai Miami Beach and Shore Club South Beach.
How much grandeur and opulence? That's something to investigate at the all-suite King & Grove Tides Hotel South Beach, a refurbished beauty from 1936 located on Ocean Drive. How much modern sophistication and poolside fabulousness? Query the tanning butler at the Ritz-Carlton, South Beach. And on the west side of SoBe, there's the Mondrian South Beach, overlooking the sparkling waters of Biscayne Bay.
As for, how much peace and quiet? Well, that's what you might want to visit Coral Gables for.
10 The Standard Miami
Emphasizing beauty and simple pleasures, this hotel, set just off the eastern end of the Venetian Causeway in Biscayne Bay, provides a soothing place of retreat. White walls and linens and blond wood accents characterize the guest rooms, which are equipped with flat-screen TVs, high speed Internet, bathrobes, "Kiss My Face" bath products, robes, a mini-bar filled with organic snack foods and outdoor living room with a soaking tub. Without doubt, the spa facilities are the highlight of the hotel. Calling itself a "hydrotherapy playground," the Standard takes "the ritual of bathing, which enlives both mind and spirit," seriously. To that end, there are steam rooms, cold rain showers, a Roman waterfall hot tub, a mud lounge, a falling water column, Arctic plunge, a sound shower and an Infiniti pool, among other dripping devices. Integrated wellness is also offered via workshops and retreats, fitness services including yoga, pilates and paddle boarding classes, a gym, acupuncture, juice cleanses and self care clinics. Among other amenities are a waterside restaurant, the Lido Restaurant & Bayside Grill, where executive chef Mark Zeitouni's organic, unprocessed and wholesome fare wholly impresses, and lounge and 24-hour room service. Meeting space available. Parking valet: $22/day.
9 The Angler's Boutique Resort
Located on bustling Washington Avenue, this hotel is decidedly reserved, and yet it manages to stand out completely. The tiny nightclubs and restaurants surrounding the property seem shockingly out of place next to the classic facade and deep landscaping of the Angler's Boutique. While this is hardly the place for pin-dropping quietude, it is instantly relaxing and charming in a completely understated way. With only 45 suites, this classically chic hotel is a welcome break from the fluorescent trance of the Art Deco District. The last property to be renovated and developed commercially, the Angler's is not even Art Deco, actually. Nor was it eve one property. Rather, it was two Mediterranean Revival buildings designed by Henry Maloney. Back in the day, it was a haunt for Ernest Hemingway, among others. Today it's a favorite for guests who prefer an understated but luxurious suite life featuring 455 square feet of living room space with a full-size sofa, two armchairs, a coffee table and books; 400 thread count Egyptian cotton bed linens; an entertainment center and surround sound system including state-of-the-art audio-video system and plasma TVs; DVD Player; iPod docking station; and wet bar area with a stainless steel sink, refrigerator and mini-bar. The signature restaurant, 660 at The Angler, makes wonderful use of fresh, seasonal and local Florida ingredients, weaving them all together with a Mediterranean influence. Dinner and weekend brunches tend to be popular with nearby residents, so you might want to reserve a table ahead of time.
8 The Raleigh Hotel
This immaculately restored Art Deco hotel opened in 1940, and retains the original terrazzo floors and updated period decor. In keeping with the restoration, rooms and main seating areas are furnished with vintage-style wicker and teak furniture. Many state-of-the-art amenities have been incorporated into the rooms, including bedside remote controls with programming in 6 different languages, VCR, CD player, multiple phone lines and dataports. The hotel is rightfully famous for its swimming pool, oft-called the most beautiful in America, starting in 1947 by Life Magazine. Completely enclosed by tropical foliage, the Raleigh Pool is where many of Esther Williams's swim scenes were filmed, and it's so tempting many guests never leave it, despite the fact the hotel is situated right on the beach. A fitness center and on-site restaurant, opened in the fall of 2012 under the auspices of James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Schwartz, accompany a coffee bar and lounge. Suites and conference facility with multimedia presentation equipment. 104 rooms and suites. Valet parking $30/day.
7 Shore Club
This trendy Ian Schrager-managed property has a super-hip pool and bar scene. Skybar, the umbrella for several indoor-outdoor settings that include Redroom, Redroom Garden and Rumbar (as well as the private Sandbar), is so celebrated, along with signature restaurant Nobu, that it's easy to forget that the Shore Club is actually a boutique hotel as well. Decor, both inside and out, ranges widely, covering many ethnicities: French Antique Napoleon III slipper chairs covered in silk jostle Italian tables on Mexican tile, complemented by African throw pillows. Lots of billowing white curtains and metal lanterns lighten everything up. Meanwhile, tropical landscaping, featuring flowering bougainvilleas, and throbbing beats from world-renowned DJs add an exotic feel. With all this going on, and the beach, too, you probably won't want to spend much time in your room, but here's a rundown - all rooms and suites are comfortably austere and equipped with high-speed Internet access, BOSE Wave CD player, mini-bar and Egyptian cotton linens. 384 rooms, suites and bungalows. Event space for 250. Valet parking only, $34/day.
6 Delano Hotel
This unique landmark South Beach hotel, an Ian Schrager property, is memorable as one of Miami Beach's first design hotels to open, and remains as one of its best. The lofty indoor-outdoor lobby is as stunning as it is surreal, dotted with out-of-proportion and out-of-scenario furniture (such as a patio cafe table with two chairs in the pool). Philippe Starck elements highlight the room decor as well - the color scheme is mostly his signature white, with one or two flags of color, and are furnished with the appropriate upscale amenities. Outside, the infamous pool, wired with underwater sound and featured in hundreds of photo shoots, is surrounded by what Starck calls the "Orchard" - a lush tropical garden that winds around his "vignettes:" a lifesize chessboard, an antique daybed. The renowned Agua Bathhouse is a fantastic rooftop spa retreat, and the private beach has plenty of lounge chairs. Inside, the ever-popular Rose Bar, named for the attractive lighting that pinkens the complexion, pours the tastiest kir royale in town. Bianca, an award-winning Italian restaurant situated on the terrace, round out the offerings. 238 rooms, suites and poolside bungalows. Event space for 80. Valet parking $34/night.
5 The Setai
Overlooking the oceanfront on South Beach, this stylish hotel, easily one of the most stunning designs on South Beach, is flanked by a 40-foot tower and beautiful Asian-inspired courtyard. Very exclusive, private, serene and sedate, The Setai does not air a constant party atmosphere like much of South Beach; this is a hotel for adults. Especially adults who enjoy spa treatments. Awarded a slew of honors from national magazines and outfits, The Spa at the Setai specializes in Pacific Rim-influenced treatments. Ancient Balinese Massage and Thai foot reflexology are only two addictive examples. Luxurious rooms come equipped with flat-screen TVs, espresso machines, bar, and Acqua di Parma bath products. Impressive on-site dining venues, the Restaurant with a showcase kitchen and The Grill at the Setai, boast spectacular global (French, Mediterranean and a touch of Asian) cuisine and an expansive bar, and the beach bar provides cocktails by the pool and beach. 24-hour room and concierge service, a fitness center, oceanfront swimming pools, yoga and tai chi add to guests' comfort and pleasures. 75 rooms. Valet parking: $40.
4 The Tides South Beach
The King & Grove Tides Hotel South Beach, the tallest of the area's Art Deco hotels, is also considered the most luxurious. Built in 1936, the twelve-story building offers 50 rooms, including three penthouse suites. Each guest room is formed from what were once two rooms, and each boasts an ocean view and a telescope. Indeed, these are the largest standard rooms in any lodgings on the beach, and the monochromatic palette in which they're decorated - a style that says beach cottage-meets-city sophisticate - make them seem even more spacious. The glass-topped Coral Bar inside the lobby is one of the most glamorous places in town to have a martini. Alternately, the elevated Terrace offers unparalleled views of the sun dipping into the Atlantic during happy hour, or rising from its depths in the early morning hours. The restaurant's quality, Mediterranean-influenced fare is served for three meals per day, and everything is prepared in-house, even the fresh-pressed juices. A second restaurant and poolside bar are also available. Entertainment Tuesdays through Saturdays. Valet parking only, $32/day.
3 The Betsy Hotel
Amidst the Art Deco landmarks of South Beach, this unique landmark hotel immediately stands apart, given its stately British Colonial architecture. The 61 rooms and suites are serenely white, with one or two splashes of color, and are furnished with the appropriate upscale amenities. Located on the rooftop, The Deck offers expansive ocean views as well as a Wellness Garden and Spa, featuring a Zen-like setting created by bamboo, wood, stone and natural fibers. Private cabanas and giant sails provide both shade and privacy for luxurious, creative and paraben-free spa treatments, provided by Miami City Massage; the concierge can help you arrange everything from a pedicure to a Coconut Hot Towel Facial or Wood Stone Ritual Treatment with chilled stones. The Betsy's owners are philanthropists who are heavily involved in the local and national arts scene, and they sponsor poets, writers, artists and musicians 365/24/7. One of the highlights here is heading downstairs to the speakeasy-style B Bar to catch the latest reading or viewing from an artist-in-residence, sipping the bartender's carefully crafted mojito. Following such a double blast of art with a steak and a popover at Laurent Tourondel's BLT Steak, located in the lobby, is simply divine. Valet parking $34/night.
2 Loews Miami Beach Hotel
personnel don't barge in without warning. With the beach on one side and busy Collins Avenue on the other, you'll never be far from the action. An oceanfront pool and private beach are big draws, highlighted by the Loews's SOAK cabana program, which comes with personalized butler service, sunbeds, an air-conditioned suite with more technology than your home, and so many luxuries you might choose to spend the night here instead of your room. Facilities and services are top-notch, as you'd expect, including the hotel's three restaurants - Sushi Sobe and the Floribbean-style Preston's among them - and cocktail lounges. 790 rooms. Event space for 3000. Valet parking only, $31/night.
1 Ritz-Carlton South Beach
The Art Moderne-style Ritz-Carlton is a gorgeous 1950s-era oceanfront property, highlighted by a stunning pool and an innovative full-service spa. The resort offers cheeky amenities such as a tanning butler - a nice-looking young man with a holster of sprays and lotions draped around his Speedo - and there's always something going on here, whether it's a fashion show for Swim Week or a party to celebrate one of the local magazine issues. Elegant rooms feature an array of amenities such as a fully stocked mini-bar, marble bathrooms, luxury linens, and specialized hangers for different types of clothing. Schedule an exclusive, Latin-themed "Rhythm Massage" in the spa, recognized by Allure magazine as one of the best day spas in Miami, then retire to cushion your head on the special goose down pillows for the best night's sleep you've had in ages. Guests can enjoy three upscale restaurants - one of which, the DiLido Beach Club, offers beachside dining, a rarity here, oddly enough - and three lounges, including the Lapidus Lounge, named for famed Art Deco architect Morris Lapidus, who designed the original building. Bistro One LR, featuring fare inspired by the Spanish Riviera, is a draw for patrons outside the hotel as well, so be sure to make a reservation. Plus there's 24-hour room service, and the South Beach dining and entertainment scene is just steps away. 376 rooms and suites. Event space for 500. Valet parking only, $34/day.

The comments in a post over at road.cc highlight just how much disagreement their can be within the cycling community over seemingly simple things like helmet laws and bike lanes. Like many debates, these are characterised by a false dichotomy of choices: that overturning helmet laws means banning helmets or quality bike infrastructure means cyclists can't use the roads.
Why do people insist on shouting past each other and finding enemies amongst allies? Its all very Pythonesque.
The sad fact is that outside of continental Europe, people who ride bikes are a very small minority – less than 2%.
Turning that 2% into 1% isn't a very good way to create change. If we want any hope of making cycling a safer, perfectly normal activity, then we need to find common ground so we can act as one group; and we need to appeal to the middle 50% – the majority of people who want to ride but don't feel comfortable doing so in the present environment.
Update: David Hembrow has a similar tongue-in-cheek post about British bike campaigns. It details the struggle between the Peoples Cycling Front of South Gloucester and the Popular Cycling Front of Gloucester. Obviously another Python fan.

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) October 26, 2012
According to a recent MSNBC article published in June 2012, credit card fraud is up 87 percent since 2010, resulting in a total loss of $6 billion. While consumers may be more vulnerable to having credit card information stolen, small businesses are often the largest losers in merchant account scams and credit card fraud.
Business owners with merchant accounts have to take care to avoid scams and fraudulent charges, especially since they are responsible for the expenses associated with a chargeback. In addition, the cardholder may be protected from unauthorized transactions, but the merchant must cover the cost of stolen goods and services. Furthermore, a practice known as "friendly fraud" may happen when a customer charges back a transaction even though they received a product or service with no problems.
According to Jeff Stephan, CEO of Capital Processing Network (CPN), a leading merchant service provider, fraud and scam prevention techniques will reduce credit card fraud. "Business owners owe it to themselves to beware of common schemes, and train their employees to look for instances where transactions are not being processed honestly," said Stephan. "Additionally, there is the time element required in processing a chargeback and the increased risk category that may raise your credit card processing fees or even cause you to lose your merchant account."
CPN provides customers with the following tip for preventing and avoiding merchant account scams and credit card fraud:
Online or over the phone:
While prevention is always the best route for avoiding the attention of scammers, a proactive attitude against future scams will lead crooks to seek easier targets. With the proper knowledge and training small businesses and their employees can detect and prevent losses in the future.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Berlin, Germany. The city of Berlin on Wednesday imposed new legal conditions on parents who have their boys circumcised, as a former head of Germany's Jewish community blasted the national debate about the practice.
Following a recent court ruling saying the rite amounted to grievous bodily harm, Berlin's top justice official, Thomas Heilmann, said the new policy was intended to protect the rights of Jewish and Muslim parents and their children.
"We explicitly welcome Muslim and Jewish life in Berlin," Heilmann said. "That is only possible if freedom to practice religion is possible."
Heilmann said this freedom would be upheld, but only with certain provisos.
Both parents must give written permission after being informed of the risks of the procedure, and provide proof of the "religious motivation and religious necessity of the circumcision" before the child is old enough to take the decision himself.
Heilmann said this could come in the form of a written declaration from the parents or their religious congregation.
Thirdly, the practice must be carried out only by doctors according to a "medically professional standard" including a sterile environment, as little pain as possible and care to stop bleeding.
Heilmann said the location did not necessarily have to be a hospital.
"Doctors tell me that this can be achieved elsewhere with minimal effort," he said, adding that Jewish mohels who traditionally perform the "brit milah" or circumcision on the eighth day of life lacked the necessary medical training.
Heilmann said Berlin had created the new legal framework at the request of doctors seeking clarity after the court ruling in the western city of Cologne published in June.
He said the rules would apply at least until the German parliament passes legislation on the issue, which is expected in the next few months.
The Berlin restrictions are largely in line with recommendations last month from a parliamentary ethics committee.
The medical director of the Jewish Hospital in Berlin, Kristof Graf, said he was "satisfied with the solution" put forward by Heilmann, noting that there had been no circumcisions performed at his facility since June.
Normally the hospital conducts 80 to 100 per year, Graf said.
Meanwhile Germany has turned into a patchwork quilt of regulations, with public prosecutors in the southwestern cities of Stuttgart and Karlsruhe saying they will hold off taking action against parents who have sons circumcised, at least until federal legislation is passed.
Diplomats admit that the ruling has proved "disastrous" for Germany's international image, particularly in light of its Nazi past, following uproar from religious and political leaders in Israel as well as Muslim countries.
In a sharply worded newspaper column, the former head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Charlotte Knobloch, said the debate made her ask angrily whether the country still wanted a Jewish community.
"Not even in my nightmares did I imagine that I would have to ask myself shortly before my 80th birthday if I was able to survive the Holocaust in order to have to experience this," wrote Knobloch, 79.
"I wonder if it is clear to the countless know-it-alls in medicine, law, psychology and politics who bluster about 'child torture' and 'traumas' that they are questioning the already dwindling Jewish existence in Germany, a situation we have not seen since 1945."
Knobloch continued, "Nevertheless, we love this country. But it is about time that we receive confirmation for the trust that we dare to have in it."
About four million Muslims and more than 200,000 Jews live in Germany.

opinionBy John Githongo
A couple of months ago I attended a meeting where a respected African former head of state articulated a cautionary aspiration in Kenya's regard that I haven't been able to get out of my mind. His point was simple: "You Kenyans have always impressed the rest of Africa with your industriousness, peace, economic development etc, despite whatever political challenges you have faced. You have done this without minerals; you have achieved all you have off the sweat of your own brows. We have admired you for this. So you have to make the March 4 election work. For if it doesn't, it will be said if this kind of democratic transition fails in Kenya then all of us are at risk of seeing the same happen in our countries. So I appeal to your sense of honour to succeed."
Astonishingly ECK better than IEBC
Well, Kenya held its great transition election. It went off relatively peacefully much to everyone's relief. It had been preceded by presidential aspirants' debates organised by the media that were beamed across the planet much to our pride. Unfortunately, the disastrous administration of this most complex of elections by the controversial Independent Elections and Boundaries Commission was also beamed to the planet, much to our dismay. It was far worse than that of the 2007 election, even though its results have not been followed by the violent meltdown that in 2008 brought Kenya to the very brink of civil war.
By my count, even though I am no mathematical expert, all combined - Biometric Voter Registration, the poll books, the digital transmission system and all accoutrements - cost us around US$140 million. Donors (those dangerous imperialists) are said to have spent a further US$100 million supporting the IEBC, civic education, providing expert advice, etc. The expensive and highly sophisticated digital system, rolled out in the country with arguably the most cutting-edge ICT sector on the continent, calamitously and humiliatingly collapsed on the first day of voting.
The shabbiness with which the IEBC answered questions about this as it unfolded was appalling. In the end we voted manually - a process fraught with risks identified concisely by the 2008 Kriegler inquiry into the IEBC's predecessor, the Electoral Commission of Kenya. The over US$240 million IEBC meltdown led the ostensible loser Raila Odinga of the Cord Alliance to immediately challenge Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee Alliance supposed first round victory by a margin which was at first announced to be around just over 4,000 votes, then later revised to 8,400 votes.
The last time things went wrong like this, mass action resulted. This time, the aggrieved parties - both the political players and civil society playing its watchdog role - took the dispute to the new Supreme Court. This, it must be acknowledged, is a major advance from the situation in 2007-08 when no one trusted the then judiciary to arbitrate the disputed result professionally and fairly. The mistrust derived from previous experience where petitions challenging the presidential result in Kenya's elections - Kenneth Matiba as well as John Harun Mwau in 1992; James Orengo in 1994; Mwai Kibaki in 1997 - had been summarily dismissed leaving Kenyans with the suspicion that the courts were merely going through the motions without any intent to deliver true justice.
It is therefore a huge step forward for Kenyan democracy that the dispute over the 2013 elections has again taken the legal route. It demonstrates faith in the Supreme Court - especially Chief Justice Willy Mutunga - of which we can all be justifiably proud.
Despite a largely non-violent election with an outcome, however contentious, celebrations by Kenyans were muted. The media showed some footage - mainly from the urban strongholds of Jubilee's Kenyatta and William Ruto - where supporters took to the streets and danced for joy. In most of the county, however, a mournful, profound and unsettling silence set in.
Deep existential silence
Cord's challenge of Jubilee's supposed victory, while thankfully playing out in the Supreme Court, has been accompanied by a powerful silence across entire swathes of the country. The March 4 general election carried with it multiple transitions: the end of Kibaki's term; the implementation of a devolved system of government; and, it was the first held under what is considered among the most progressive constitutions on the African continent. Kenya ought to have had multiple reasons to celebrate; yet in much of the country, particularly as the dispute over the presidential election unfolded and then proceeded to the courts, it is as if a climate of mourning - manifest in a powerful silence - has taken hold.
I have grappled with the reason for this silence because it is clearly more than simply because one candidate won, and another lost. After all, that is the nature of all elections. There is a more troubling reality that it makes manifest: the election's failure as a nation-building event. Indeed, it is clear - especially from the partisan and ethnic vitriol evident on social media - that Kenya emerged from this process far more polarised than ever before along tribal lines.
Unspoken publicly but articulated eventually by many Kenyans is an old narrative - Gikuyus and particularly their elite are Kenya's problem - that is consolidating with every passing day. It was best put to me by a multi-ethnic group of professionals I sat with last week. One explained, "We all want peace so no one wants to say it too loudly, but most of us believe this election was stolen. We believe the failure of IEBC's systems was deliberate to enable this. Then we are told of the 'tyranny of numbers' and it dawns on us that we non-Gikuyus are being told one of us shall never become president. We are being asked to swallow that and it's presented as a fait accompli that we're going to have to live with or else - tough!" Said another, "So in the silence you are talking about there is a sense that we are mourning the death of something, as if something very bad has happened or is about to happen. As if something has died... [T]he anger, humiliation and hurt are too difficult to even describe. That is the reason for your silence."
The Kenya project
While it is obvious that something went terribly wrong with the election, we wait to hear from our new Supreme Court how much damage this did to the outcome. Still, the unsettling silence that has followed points to a deeper existential fracture. At a book launch in April 2006, writes Parsalelo Kantai in his 2007 paper 'The Reddykulass Generation', one of Kenya's most esteemed historians, Bethuel A. Ogot, stood up and declared that Project Kenya was dead. The ideals that the nationalists had stood for were bankrupt. "Kenya," he said, "had never been more distant an idea than it was now at the beginning of the 21st century. Nationhood no longer existed. It had been replaced by sub-nationalism: the tribe, in effect, had eaten up the country."
This was a terrible indictment. Coming from a man who had devoted over 50 years of his life to writing Kenya into being, to defending - at a time when the study of African history was considered primarily to be the study of Europeans in Africa - the notion that the 43 African communities that fell within the colonial construction that was Kenya Colony were people, distinct nations. They had heritages and aspirations, traditions and worldviews. They were not savages.
In part the silence is also there because the Jubilee leaders, despite running probably the most efficient, well-resourced and focused campaigns Kenya has ever seen (itself an impressive achievement), are not in danger of being described as reformists by any stretch of the imagination. Even pretentions to this condition are hollow. Then there is also the widely accepted belief that their alliance was forged as a result of the ICC charges those on the presidential ticket both face for crimes against humanity.
Ironically these emanate out of their alleged conduct during the violence of 2008 when they were on opposing sides as their ethnic supporters chopped each other up with machetes. I have gone on record as confessing my scepticism of the ICC as an instrument to deal with Kenya's political contradictions and their results. However, as a Kenyan citizen, I accepted the general consensus I found in different parts of the country, affirmed by no less than our parliament, articulated thus by our elected leaders "Don't be vague, let's go to the Hague". So we are where we are because we brought ourselves here. Under our new constitution, the ICC is not a foreign court but our court, as the Rome Statute has been domesticated into our legislation. However, that leaves us with a major problem. What Kenya has essentially gone through is an 'ICC election' - it has left us more polarised along tribal lines and forced the most dramatic re-groupings of conservative forces in Kenyan politics since independence. The logical expectation then is that a Jubilee government would of necessity dismantle key sections of the constitution; roll back civil liberties and basic freedoms; and, generally push Kenya back decades in terms of democratic development.
A sign of the power of this nervousness came a couple of weeks ago, when a rumour spread that one of the newly elected governors had been killed. It was so pervasive that he was forced to come out and clarify that rumours of his demise had been exaggerated. Still, two days later I received a telephone call from a corporate captain who urgently asked me the same question. Again I confirmed it was not true. What was significant was that many Kenyans were willing to believe that in this new dispensation, despite the identification of security as a primary state concern, a governor could be murdered for what the rumours implied could only be political reasons.
It is clear that should the petition against the Jubilee coalition victory fail, or should Jubilee win a run-off if the adverse is the case, this is a coalition capable of mustering the financial and human resources to get a serious job done if so desired. The way it managed its election campaign demonstrates this.
After the criminal-judicial process of the ICC, real healing and reconciliation will have to emerge out of a political settlement at some point. For no matter how odious the protagonists in the current duel are, they all remain Kenyan at the end of the day. Everyone will have to be part of the solution, part of re-imagining Kenya. An important hopeful development is that devolution provides whichever party ascends to power the opportunity to correct some of the economic, political and social wrongs that underlie the seething anger and heartbreak that geographically characterises most of Kenya today. Secondly, to return a measure of faith in our election processes, we will have to both fix our broken-down election machinery and implement a proportional representation system that undoes the toxic false narrative of 'we have the numbers and the rest of you can go to hell'.
When I travelled to Uganda not long after the NRM government of President Museveni came to power, I was told of how in Central Buganda's Luwero region where Obote's troops had massacred civilians en masse, the birds had stopped singing. I was told the same in Kigali when I travelled to Rwanda not long after the genocide. In Kenya, after this election, the birds may still be singing, but Kenyans have stopped talking, especially across the ethnic divide. It is a screaming silence - save for the fight on social media platforms like Facebook that allow anonymisation where a younger generation we had thought less susceptible to the bigotry of their parents and elders is having it out with vicious toxicity. Our leaders can change this or in turn be changed by it.
We need to start re-imagining the Kenyan nation because for now, what we have is Brand Kenya instead of a Kenyan Nation; what unites us are transactions rather than shared beliefs and values; we have Vision 2030 instead of a common idea that is so profound it is implicit of who were are and where we want to go. As entire sections of the population opt out of political processes where fake tyrannies have apparently been brought to bear, we must lance the boil and be aggressively inclusive.

Huntley will be waiting for the J-Hawks at Belvidere North. Even with a full team Jefferson would have a major challenge with Huntley and it's 6-8 center Amanze Egekeze who's headed to Division One Belmont.
"We haven't seen anybody with his size and his ability to step out, so he's going to prove a large problem for us," says Jefferson Coach, Todd Brannan.
The J-Hawks will rely on their usual tenacious play on defense in this one.
"That has to be our strength. We have to win all the effort plays," says Brannan.
It'll be a full house at Boylan for the rematch between the Titans and the Auburn Knights. Just last week Auburn blasted Boylan by 30 points to win the NIC-10 championship. The Titans will try to shake that off.
"I thought they were beyond physical and we never responded. We let them push us around a bit and that wasn't the case the first time we played them. We've got to get back to playing physical halfcourt defense and controlling the tempo," says Boylan Coach, Mike Winters.
"We're going to come out with the same intensity, same effort, same state of mind and we're going to go hard," says Antoine Pittman, Auburn Forward.
"We know it's going to be tough going against Boylan on their floor after the win we just put on them. I know it's going to be tough one in here, and another great one," says Phillip Trammell, Auburn Guard.
It'll also be a big game at the 3A Freeport Regional. Lutheran will face Belvidere. It's a rematch of last season's Regional Championship matchup. The Crusaders won that one in a landslide 71-46. A much, much tighter game is expected this time.
At River Ridge Eastland will try to ride All-Stater Dalton Shaner to a Sectional Championship against a tall and talented Indian Creek team. Shaner had 39 points in Eastland's semifinal win over Dakota Wednesday night.

Salt Lake City, UT (SportsNetwork.com) - Jordan Loveridge and Delon Wright each finished with a game-high 21 points to lead the Utah Utes over the Colorado Buffaloes, 75-64, in a Pac-12 Conference contest at the Huntsman Center.
For the Utes (19-9, 8-8 Pac-12), Loveridge added seven rebounds and Brandon Taylor dished out six assists.
Josh Scott led the Buffaloes (20-9, 9-7) with 17 points and seven rebounds, while Xavier Johnson chipped in with 10 points in the loss, which was their second in a row.
Utah shot 47.8 percent from the field to open the contest, including 2-of-7 from 3-point range. Despite shooting just 42.9 percent from the field in the first, Colorado connected on 4-of-8 from beyond the arc to keep close. Trailing by eight, 30-22, with just over four minutes left in the first half, the Utes scored the final eight points of the period to knot the score at 30-30 going into halftime.
After the intermission, the Utes connected on a scorching 70.8 percent of their shots from the field while holding the Buffs to a meager 9-of-25 from the field and 3-of-10 from 3-point range. The Utes scored the first nine points of the second half and never looked back as the home team cruised to victory.
The Utes dominated in the frontcourt, outscoring the Buffs in the paint, 38-22, and outrebounding them, 30-27.

The Kenya Reinsurance Company plans to put up a commercial building in Nairobi's Upper Hill area to capitalise on growing demand for office space in the zone.
Kenya Re's managing director Jadiah Mwarania said yesterday that while the plans are still in the initial stages, the tentative budget for the building has been set at Sh4 billion.
"We hope to probably break ground for the new building next year," Mwarania said yesterday at the company's investor briefing. The NSE-listed re-insurer already has another building in Upper Hill that houses companies such as Ernst and Young, Kenya Tourist Board and Kenya Roads Board. The twin-tower building has 10 floors on one tower, while the other tower has six floors.
Kenya Re reported a drop in its investment income for the year 2013 due to a lower interest income and absence of the one-off gain made in 2012 when it sold a property it owned in Nairobi's South C area.
Investment income dropped to Sh2.3 billion last year from Sh2.8 billion in 2012. Kenya Re said its rental income for 2013 was Sh545 million. It also offers mortgages to the public and said it recorded increased uptake as a result of a huge housing demand and growth in population in the country.

If not, all the applications based on it will exhibit the same bugs. The good news is that whenever you fix a bug, you are fixing a bunch of applications too. Today's mission is to write unit tests for the framework we have created by using PHPUnit.

The tests Norskprøve is an examination in the Norwegian language at the levels A2 and B1 of the Common European Framework. It consists of a written and an oral part, which may take place on different days. There are two examinations per year.
Having successfully passed Norskprøve with the level A2 serves as the basis for the application for a permanent residence permit or Norwegian citizenship. It also serves as an official documentation of Norwegian language skills, for example for future employers.
Besides three conversations about everyday topics, different tasks for reading comprehension, listening comprehension and written production have to be completed. In contrast to the so-called Bergenstest (which demands a higher language level) there is no pure grammar section, but the correct command of the Norwegian language will have an important influence on the assessment.
We can assist you with your preparation for the Norskprøve. Our teachers will prepare meaningful live individual lessons based on your needs. Using Skype and our virtual classroom, you can talk to your teacher as if you were in the same room - wherever you are, in Norway or anywhere else in the world.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

This was an awesome tour with even better guides!! I am a native San Franciscan and I've always been so scared to ride a bike through San Francisco, but Ari and Gabe made me feel very safe. I couldn't believe myself riding down Market street, not at all nervous. We made a couple stops, learning about the neighborhoods and cool architecture throughout the city. I had no idea Mission Dolores was the oldest building in San Francisco! Besides the informative bike tour around the city, we stopped at really cool breweries that were surprisingly new to me - my favorite was Cervecería de MateVeza, a really small microbrewery in between Dolores Park and the Castro. They had a delicious variety of house brewed beers and savory empanadas. I was in heaven! If you have the chance, DO go on this tour!!
Doing what: Small-Group Craft Brews and Bike Tour in San Francisco
Such a fun outing! I'm local, but I have never biked in San Francisco and this was a great way to do it. Ari and Gabe, our guides, did a great job navigating us along busy streets and made me feel safe about biking in busier areas like SoMa and the Mission. We started at 21st Amendment and they treated us to beer there, and then we traveled along a flat route to the Mission. Between stops, we got to check out all the incredible murals in Clarion Alley, and I even learned some fun facts that I didn't already know about the Mission Dolores and Dolores Park. My favorite stop was at a bar on the edge of Dolores Park, technically in the Castro, where I had an amazing locally made empanada and Yerba Mate–infused IPA. So good! I definitely recommend this tour for adventurous beer lovers who feel comfortable riding city streets.

it was more than we expected didn't know that the mission district had that much to offer. I have to say I tried some things that I probably wouldn't have tried, like oysters vegan Mexican food goat cheese we had a great time recommending it to all our friends. We would like to try the other food tour on our next visit Corrinne was awesome she was very enthused which made us excited to see. great job money well spent

Loved that the tour size was nice and small allowed for easy hearing/ seeing/ moving around. Great choice had been made of our food stops. Loved the information provided about the mission and murals as well and you really knew your stuff when if came to food. Thank you. Would highly recommend and if we were in town we'd even do this tour again!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour of the mission district. We chose to include the cocktail pairing. The cheese place we visited was our personal favourite and as new residents of San Francisco a place we are looking forward to returning to. Avital was very friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend

I took my brother on the tour as a birthday gift. We had a great time in the Mission and were stuffed afterwards. Word of advice: Only go on this tour with someone you want to make conversation with for three full hours.
Doing what: San Francisco Food Tour: Taste the Mission
As a tour with food around the Mission district, this worked well. our guide, Corinne, was very passionate and knowledgeable about her subject and interested in her tour group. Starting off at the Cheese Bar was very good as this is a hugely different concept - we had a great talk by the proprietor whose knowledge is formidable. For me it went downhill from there - on to 2 very noisy restaurants : Hog and Rocks and Tacalicious. The oyster, ham and cocktail in Hog and Rocks were good, no getting past that, very good but then followed up by 2 tacos didn't make it stand out as special or different. The advertised blurb said "make your own empanadas" for example but there was nothing like that and really and although in the market, where an employee talked to us about seasonal produce, there was no interaction with any of the staff. As a committed foodie with a huge interest in locally produced / sourced and seasonal food, I think that this tour could probably be expanded but I really do appreciate the significant amount of work involved in putting this together. Just for me, against what was advertised and the price, unfortunately it didn't work.

Kim Jong Il's Exploits Praised by Kyrgyz, Tajik Personages
| Pyongyang, May 30 (KCNA) -- A meeting took place in Kyrgyzstan and a seminar in Tajikistan on May 22 and 23 to mark the 50th anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of the work at the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).
Present at the events were personages of the People Unity "Kyrgys El" Republican Political Party and the Group for the Study of the Juche Idea of Kyrgyzstan and the Communist Party of Tajikistan and other masses.
A. Usupbayev, chairman of the Central Council of the Kyrgyz party, said:
It was of great significance for developing the WPK that Kim Jong Il started the work at its Central Committee 50 years ago.
He consolidated in every way the party's unity and cohesion centered on the leader in thought and purpose and developed the party into the most revolutionary and militant party.
He wisely led the party to creditably perform its role as guide and organizer in advancing the Korean revolution to victory.
Sh. Shabdolov, chairman of the Communist Party of Tajikistan, said:
Kim Jong Il let the WPK dynamically advance along the proud road of victory and glory.
First of all, he comprehensively systemized and developed in depth the immortal Juche idea propounded by Comrade Kim Il Sung, the founder of the WPK.
He achieved the unity and cohesion of the whole party based on the Juche idea, the revolutionary idea of Kim Il Sung, and saw to it that party building and party activities were conducted, guided by the idea and intention of the leader only.
The WPK could thus develop into the party of Kim Il Sung.
The great exploits performed by Kim Jong Il for developing the WPK will shine for all ages.

One of the best boy students in the just announced Form 4 examination results is a product of one of the first ward secondary schools built in Ilala District in Dar es Salaam, it has been learnt.
Hassan Rajab, a student of Minaki High School, who emerged third best student in the Form VI national examination results countrywide, joined Minaki from a ward secondary school in Ilala district, Juhudi.
The Juhudi Secondary School headmaster, Mr Sikitiko Salehe, said Rajab studied at Juhudi from Form 1 through to Form 4 before joining Minaki
The headmaster said the records at the school shows that a total of 93 students have passed with Division 1 and II since they started sitting for Form 4 examinations in 2005.
The encouraging performance by the ward secondary school comes against a backdrop of poor performance in many ward secondary schools, which are facing a myriad of problems, including lack of competent teachers and teaching aids.
Mr Salehe said in an interview with the Sunday Citizen that between 2005 and 2009, a total of 190 students from his school have proceeded to A-Levels.
However, this newspaper learnt that the school has only one small laboratory that can accommodate 50 students while it has 60 students pursuing science subjects.
"Many students would have loved to pursue science subjects but the small laboratory that we have is a limiting force," said the headmaster.
The school with a total of 1,053 students needs 26 classrooms in order to accommodate 45 students per classroom as per the country's education directive.
Understandably, the school has 18 classrooms with two of them not being used because they have no desks.
According to the headmaster, the school is in dire need of eight more classrooms, desks for two classrooms, a computer room for the school's 20 computers, which are in an improvised computer makeshift room that was built as teachers' office.
He said the school board is presently seeking donors who could help to solve some of the problems facing the school.
The headmaster said the Parastatal Pensions Fund (PPF) donated 56 corrugated iron sheets that will be used to roof a computer room.

record-breaking heat
We cooled it down with some lunch.
Then heated it back up with a trip to Sarah's Fabrics.
That's my pile. I spent $105. I could easily have spent more--truly excellent selection--but was trying to be good as I still had a week or two left on the road and want to be able to, you know, eat.
Jacquie, who had just announced she's moving from a big house to an apartment, was trying not to buy any fabric, but then she did (and tried to hide it in her purse).
lt was awesome to meet these ladies in person after reading their blogs for a few years and admiring their work and quilting with them in the Mid Mod Bee. Speaking of the Mid Mod Bee...the Kelp Quilt did get pieced together finally:
I did this in June, but haven't had a chance to photograph it properly until now. It was quite a process to decide how to put this together as I shuffled and re-shuffled the strips from my bee members. It kept looking weird...too balanced, too unbalanced, too blah.
Ultimately, I figured out that I needed to focus on the white kelp bits, not the background colors. This layout, you may notice has the strips with a lot of white at the bottom, the strips with the least in the middle, and the "medium" ones up top. I love it like this. I had to make a strip, change one bee member's strip a bit (centering it), and shuffle, turn, shuffle, shuffle, turn, to sort this out. I don't think I've ever spent that long arranging blocks. Usually, I throw the pieces on the floor, tweak a tiny bit and then I'm happy. How long do you usually spend arranging blocks? Does having blocks from a bee (rather than all from oneself) seem to make this longer?
Obviously, it needs squaring up. Then, I'm thinking I'll get some solid purple for the back, orange thread for the quilting and drop it off at the quilter as soon as I'm back in Ann Arbor (this weekend, yay!)

F1 is not the only form of motorsport. So it's not so bad. In 2010 he actually beat Glock at Virgin, so he is good enough for F1.
This just shows that drivers should keep their career options open. F1 probably employs less than 5 percent of all race car drivers. Top notch race car drivers actually have better odds at finding a wealthy gentleman driver to partner with in a sports car series than making it in F1. a

You need _shopping_ lessons, boy.
Hard drives these days come in basically one size, called "bigger than
you can fill, and bigger than you can economically back up". Your
$200 buys the same size in either SCSI or ATA ("IDE"): both "bigger
than (et al.)", with a greater amount of excess-more-than-I-can-use
space in the ATA case.
The Symbios-based Tecram card is $45. Resulting total delta: $45
Of course, you _might_ have the world's largest pr0n collection, or a
complete collection of Farscape DIVXes, or something like that. In
which case, some n>1 of ATA drives on a 3Ware Escalade will indeed be
just the ticket (while you brood over your lack of backup).

Post Megaupload Shutdown, the Recording Industry Attempts to Reacquire Its SwagSTR/AFP/Getty Images
Most of the chatter surrounding the Megaupload shutdown has circled, sensibly, around the more fantastic elements of the story: Swizz Beatz's maybe-okay-not-really-wait-maybe? involvement in the file-sharing site; the cinematic details of the FBI's raid on the Megaupload crew's sweet New Zealand mansion; the larger-than-life hilarity of Megaupload's 6-foot-6 hero-outlaw chief, Kim Dotcom. Now, though, the Recording Industry Association of America would like to change the topic. Joshua P. Friedlander, RIAA's Vice President of Strategic Data Analysis (what, the President of Strategic Data Analysis had more important things to do?) has something to say. Here he is, in a blog post from yesterday titled "Why Closing Megaupload Matters":
"Fortunately, shutdowns of these types of hubs for illegal activity are not unprecedented. In October of 2010, Limewire (the most popular P2P service at the time) was shut down, and just like this week, millions of users were forced to find new sources for their content … Digital music sales that had been flagging jumped in the month immediately after the Limewire shutdown, and have remained stronger ever since … When Billboard looked at the data after the Limewire shutdown it said 'The spike in sales was immediate, noticeable and lasting.' Collectively, this evidence strongly suggests that the shutdown of illegal sites helps create a thriving and diverse digital marketplace. It encourages users to go to legitimate sites, and enables great new services to be launched — like Spotify, which launched in the US last year and quickly signed up millions of new users."
Most importantly: "Merely days later, we've seen other popular file sharing lockers like Filesonic and Fileserve curtail their own services, likely fearing similar charges as they functioned similar to Megaupload."
Most of us freeloading consumers saw the shutdown of Megaupload as a temporary hindrance, another last ditch effort by a crumbling industry to stop the inflexible march of time: Inevitably, we assumed, something else would come along to set loose the latest Kidz Bop collection online for free. But is the RIAA actually turning a corner toward shutting down the major file-sharing sites and forcing us all into (ugh) legal options? Considering the industry's long, misguided post-Napster track record in this arena, that would be remarkable. For now, the industry's confidence can be further boosted by the fact that Kim Dotcom has been denied bail, with the judge in the case saying "With sufficient determination and financial resources, flight risk remains a real and significant possibility."
File-sharing CEOs worldwide, wherever you are: Be brave out there today. The industry is coming.
