Comment and Suggestion
Eccentric meets quirky in "Dancing Blue"
Mui Cheuk-yin, a dance-choreographer, meets Lee Chun-chow, a theatre-man. The result is an all-dimensional, all directional crossover – the dance theatre "Dancing Blue". They dance, to the blue.
"Dancing Blue" is an originally conceived, crossover production from two local artists of iconic standing - Mui Cheuk-yin of dance and Lee Chun-chow of theatre - with multi-faceted interpretations of "blue". It can be the pristine innocence that marks the beginning of life, the sedimentation of what goes on in between, as well as what finally comes to at the end. "Blue" can be the happiness and joy as symbolised by the blue bird. It can be a cruel, unremitting tune. As a colour, it can be sky blue, azure blue, dark blue, indigo blue, aqua blue, baby blue or light blue. Different types of blue transform into numerous images, forms, and constantly changing symbols and meanings.
Mui Cheuk-yin was the Principal Dancer of the Hong Kong Dance Company and has been an independent dance-maker since 1990. She is currently the Associate Choreographer of City Contemporary Dance Company. Mui has been invited to present her solo works by many international arts festivals including the Tanztheatre Wuppertal Pina Bausch 25th Anniversary Festival and the Venice Biennial Dance Festival, and to choreograph for major dance companies in Hong Kong including The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, City Contemporary Dance Company and Hong Kong Dance Company. Mui was awarded the 2000 and 2001 Hong Kong Dance Award by the Hong Kong Dance Alliance. Recent works include: "The Enigma of Desire" - "Dali vs Gala", "Whispering Colour", "Lot-us", "Bolero" (with Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra) and "My Life as a Dancer – the evolution" (2007 Hong Kong Arts Festival).
Lee Chun-chow was Actor and Assistant Artistic Director of Chung Ying Theatre company. He is now a freelance actor and director. He was awarded a number of prizes in the yearly Hong Kong Drama Awards including three times as the Best Leading Actor as well as twice as the Best Director. Recently he performed in "The French Kiss" (2005 Hong Kong Arts Festival), "E Never Forget", "Houdini's Box", "Ashes to Ashes" (Theatre du Pif), "The Last Moment", "Night and Dream in the South" (Prosperous Theatre), "Heart of Gold - 100 Years Solitude" (Paper Tarahummara) and "Testimony" (CCDC).
Presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, "Dancing Blue" will be staged at 8pm, August 24 and 25 (Friday and Saturday) and 3pm, August 26 (Sunday) at the Studio Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Tickets priced at $200 and $120 are available at all URBTIX outlets from July 17 onwards. Half-price concessions will be granted to senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients. (Limited tickets for Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients are available on a first-come, first-served basis.)

This is Daniel Cook is a children's television series created by J. J. Johnson and Blair Powers and produced by Toronto's marblemedia and Sinking Ship Productions in association with Treehouse TV and is shown on both that network and TVO Kids (in Canada), Disney Channel (in the US), and on ABC2 (in Australia).
The show is about a young boy, Daniel Cook, learning new things and sharing his experiences and adventures with other kids his own age. For example, he learns about Morris dancing, Tae Kwon Do, gymnastics, and lawn bowling. He also visits a fire station, a YMCA, and more. Although he is no longer making This is Daniel Cook, Daniel is working on several other projects with the creators of This is Daniel Cook, that appeal to his fans as they grow up with him. The show was filmed in Toronto, Ontario. Every US episode is about 6 minutes long, while a half-hour version exists in Canada. The series has been sold to over 85 countries worldwide, and dubbed into 14 languages.
The series has also developed a six-volume book series distributed by Kids Can Press and produced by marblemedia. Five DVDs have also been released featuring episodes from the series.
There is another show that complements Daniel Cook, This is Emily Yeung, which premiered on Treehouse in the Fall of 2006.
In early 2007, The Children's Group released a soundtrack of This Is Daniel Cook on CD -- entitled Here We Are!, it features the show's theme and the music used on the series.
The soundtrack was nominated for a Juno Award, Canada's national music award, in 2008 for Best Children's Recording. Daniel himself is the youngest nominee in the history of the Juno Awards.

HUNDREDS of thousands of mineworkers in South Africa could be suffering from serious chest diseases as a result of working underground in the gold mines that once formed the backbone of the country's economy. But the industry has failed to put aside sufficient funds to compensate them. These are the conclusions of an occupational health study conducted by the government's Epidemiology Research Unit (ERU) in Johannesburg.
The research was carried out in the Libode district of the Eastern Capea rural area which traditionally provides migrant labour to the South African gold mining industry. It was based on a sample of 500 former miners, randomly selected from 29 settlements in the district. The men were all subjected to a full hospital examination, including X-rays and lung function tests.
In the first part of the study, which appeared in last month's issue of the South African Medical Journal, the researchers tested 150 ...

I officially declare April 9th, 2011, as The First Day of Spring in our backyard. March 20th was technically the first day of spring, but that's a joke, especially in St. John's, Newfoundland, where it's been cold or snowing pretty much every day since then (we got more snow last night). Although our backyard is still wet and slippery with the white stuff, the honey bees in Hive #1 are back in business and flying all around like it's the middle of summer again. So that's good enough for me. I'm going with that as the first sign of spring instead of waiting around for the first dandelion blossoms (who knows how long that would be). (Update: It was May 17th.)
The following was originally posted on November 23rd, 2010, and updated regularly to document our wonderful winter so we'd have a guide for next year's winter weather conditions. I may add one or two more photos once all the snow is completely melted. But this is the end of it. Winter is DONE.
On the left: November 21st, 2010. On the right: November 23rd, 2010. Welcome to Hoth, a beekeepers paradise. Admittedly winter hasn't really begun yet, but the snow is on the way.
I'll add photos to this post throughout the winter.
A guard bee came out as soon as I cleared some snow from the bottom entrance of Hive #2.
Another guard bee from Hive #1 flew right at my face when I cleared some snow from that entrance.
The bees are docile in the summer. Not so much once it gets cold.
Let the good times roll…
Hive #1 on Nov. 30, 2010 and then Jan. 13, 2011 when about 40cm (16 inches) of snow got dumped on us in about 12 hours (between these dates, we had nothing but rain and soggy dampness almost every day):
Hive #2 on January 17th and 26th, 2011:
The upper entrance of Hive #2 on Feb. 1, 2011, with a -22°C wind chill and condensation collecting on the edge of the top cover:
Hive #2 and #1 on Feb. 1, 2011, and #1 again:
Also on February 1st, I noticed two dead bees outside Hive #1 and a dead drone in snow outside Hive #2. Judging from what's coming out his butt and the excrement on the outside of the hive, I wonder if the bees have managed to get in many cleansing flights (a.k.a. washroom breaks) any time this winter? If not, Nosema (video) could be a concern. What am I talking about? Everything is a concern for us at this point.
Hive #2 on Feb. 1. Hive #1 on Feb. 3, 2011:
Hives #2 and #1 on Feb. 11, 2011. (Here's the close-ups on Hive #1 and Hive #2.)
Hive #1 on Feb. 17th, 2011:
Hive #1 on March 14th, no longer half buried in snow. Then Hives #2 and #1 the same and on their way to being half buried in snow again:
Hives #1 and #2 on March 24th:
On the same day, not as buried in snow as they were two weeks ago (then we got another 40cm the next day):
Temperatures rose slightly in April. Some snow melted and some snow fell. The first feeding with syrup was scheduled for April 10th, though we were informed we could have begun feeding with top hive feeders a few weeks earlier. Here are the hives on April 8th:
Heavy winds and a rain storm finally washed away the last of the snow. Here are Hives #1 and #2 on April 19th, 2011 (the top two medium supers are sheltering inverted jar feeders):
I should have known better. This is what we woke up to this morning (April 21st, 2011):
25 Responses to "Hives in the Snow"SKIP TO THE END
Thanks for the link to your blog, Jenny!
My pleasure, Carolyn! I hope you enjoy it and maybe even start your own hive…
Just make sure you get newfoundland bees to keep newfounland mite free….
But please jump into beekeeping. It is a blast.
To be clear, it's illegal to import honeybees onto the island of Newfoundland. Queen bees can be imported from places that are certified as mite-free, like Australia and one or two other places.
We're very fortunate not to have any mites on the island yet.
The more people that read these comments and discover that we are blessed in Newfounland for having honey bees that are mite-free will be more inclined to keep the province mite free.
Which benefits everyone.
Mine are bunkered down. I look in through the top netrance reducer you can see several bees there but there is not a lot of activity. If you hit the side you can hear them buzz but not much out of them overall. Lets hope they make it through the winter.
What concerns me the most is the fluctuating temperatures we've been having. I'd rather have it consistently cold. It takes honey consumption to heat the hive, but I think they use up even more energy when it's warm enough to fly. So they'll go through the honey faster and sometimes starve before spring. Apparently they do better when it's cold most of the time. It's been more like early fall around here lately.
But who knows. The first year of beekeeping is live and learn.
minimum honey consumption is at 42°F. If ti either warmer or cooler they comsume more juice. So the temps lately aren't to bad.
I checked mine. I have the hard foam , that is not perfectly sealed and fiber glass batting on top. The bottom side of the outside cover is damp and you could feel see a couple of drops of water on the fiberglass batting.
Well Phil, the bees were out flying around the hive today. It was 0.5°C, the sun a blazing and no wind but they were out stretching their wings. But by the looks of the ground a bunch didn't make it back. Good to see the activity though.
I'm so pleased for you that the bees made it through the winter. What stars they are.
The advice the local beekeepers give here in London is to clear the snow away from the hive entrances…they say the bees are attracted to the sun bouncing off the snow and come out to have a look. Then their three simple ocelli eyes on the top of their heads get confused – because light is usually coming from above so that they fly upwards towards the sun, but in the case of snow their ocelli eyes guide them to fly into the snow's light and freeze.
In your case I don't see how you could possibly hide the snow from the bees! They seem to have coped brilliantly with it anyway.
Really interesting website. And I love that you have one of those crows atop the hive. I've been looking at them in the window of that shop on Water Street for ages, but I never quite knew where I might put them. I guess they don't rust or corrode, though I was wondering if they would.
I'm going to have to think about this a lot more before I would do anything rash like decide I want my own bees, though…

You are never really sure when this RA goes to class or does homework because they are always in their room, looking out expectantly. You know they are just waiting for that dream head case to come in and confess their life story so they can hand them pamphlets about early pregnancies and STDs. You have never seen anyone go in there.
How to mess with them: Walk by and give them a longing look like you have something really juicy to tell them but you just can't.
This RA is just a student man. They are just doing what you do man. They go out and party, They like to drink. They are cool so you can invite them wherever. They are only RA's when they are on duty. They will see you at the frat party this weekend. This is the RA that busts you as soon as you invite them over for a drink.
How to mess with them: Since they are just one of the students, ask them for money for laundry. They are good for it right?
They are only in it for the free room. They don't do the hall meeting and you have seen them drunk more than you've seen them sober. You aren't sure how they still have a job but everyone has their parties on your floor cause you have the one RA that won't care.
How to mess with them: Don't mess this up for the rest of us!
The one that ALWAYS busts you. They are standing at the end of the hall. They are outside your door taping notes to it. They are in the lobby. They are in the parking lot doing rounds. They are in your bathroom. They are in your shower. They are right behind you.
How to mess with them: Do totally legal things in suspicious ways. Smuggle in your Gatorade in duffle bags, block your door with towels so the Glade Plug-In smell doesn't get out, and scrawl messages of tolerance all over the bathroom stalls.
"Let's do this guys and girls! 3 Floor West Wing is the best Wing! Those other wings aint got nothing on us! Look at our coordinating door decs I spent four days making! Let's all meet up and play icebreakers in the lobby. Say your name and something that describes you with the same letter! I'll start! I'm Sassy Stacy, your turn!"
How to mess with them: Beat up a random person from the 2 floor and claim you were defending your hall.
This RA was there during move in. They told you anytime you need them just stop by. That was the last time you saw them. Door is always closed and nothing gets fixed. You have broken your leg, and it's being eaten by the flies that infest your room but your messages for help remain unread on their dry erase board.
How to mess with them: Claim yourself as the new RA of the hall. Beer Pong program tomorrow.
Get ready for bulletin boards that could be a wall on an episode of trading spaces. Get ready for a room that's a "safe zone" for all sexes and orientations. Get ready for all the girls in your hallway to be doing arts and crafts programs and the most organized monthly newsletters you have ever seen.
How to mess with them: Put a suggestion for a Glee marathon in their suggestion box.
This person is usually 25 and in grad school. They couldn't get a job with their philosophy degree so now they are working in higher education. They will tell you they have been in your shoes and they are not there to be your parents. Never realizes everyone pities them instead of respects them.
How to mess with them: Tell them you want to talk to them about the real world and planning ahead while in your undergrad.
"Hey you know this is just part of the job man". "I hate doing this and usually I would just have to let you off with a warning and I wish I didn't have to do this but… "I just need you to sign here and it's not saying you are admitting guilt or anything just that you are being documented".
How to mess with them: Breakdown and talk about how you have just been betrayed by every one of your best friends and ask them if they could pull the knife out of your back when they are done
This is my hall, these are my residents. There are many like them but this one is mine! It is my life and I must master it as I master my life! Lights out at 2100 hrs
How to mess with them: We are not doing 20 pushups again sit the fuck down dude!

A MOB in Mkushi District beat to death a 45-year-old farm worker who was found defiling a four-year-old girl on Saturday.
The mob descended on the man, identified as Henry Katunga, who was found defiling the girl in her parents' house.
Passersby heard a girl screaming for help and mobilised themselves before forcing themselves in the house where they found the man in the act.
Central Province police chief Standwell Lungu explained that the girl was left in the custody of the man by his employers.
Mr Lungu said the farm worker took advantage of the absence of the girl's parents and lured her into the house.
The mob beat him to death, but no one has been arrested for the murder.
He, however, cautioned members of the public against taking law into their hands adding that the man should have been handed over to the police.
Meanwhile, two Kitwe-based men have been apprehended in Mansa for being in possession of machinery, chemicals and paper used in printing fake Zambian currency and United States of America (US) dollars.
Alert police officers in Mansa pounced on the two after a tip off from members of the public.
Luapula Province police chief Philemon Mutale identified the suspects as Silungwe Sichone, 20, of Chimwemwe Township and Musonda Musaka, 21, of Bulangililo.
Police have also impounded a Toyota Splinter registration number AGR 9871 the two were using.
Mr Mutale said police have summoned the owner of the vehicle to assist with investigations.
Among items recovered from the two were four bottles of iodine , four by 2050 size paper of Zambia Kwacha, one by 2500 size paper of American dollars, five bottles of vitamin solutions, two syringes, two needles, cotton wool and two rolls of aluminium paper.

Memorial Day: A Day to Remember
Have you seen that bit on the Tonight Show where Jay Leno goes out into the streets of Burbank and asks someone walking down the street "What is Watergate?" and he gets a ridiculous response like "It's a new water-theme park in the next town!" We all laugh, roll our eyes, muttering how anyone could be that dumb. You'd be surprised how little the average American knows or remembers about his or her own history. I was.

In a few short words; Music is a part of almost every humans life here on earth
First I would like to thank you for being a part of my musical journey.
I hope together we can have the time of our lives and find solace in struggle, hope in times of trouble, and happiness in the midst of opposition.
Music is the healing force of the universe that crosses over all barriers of communication and can relay a message to any human being on earth without words.,
Words increase that power. Especially when spoken or sung from a conscience person with conviction.
This is how I create my music.
My objective is to use music as a tool to communicate things to all people of the world in order to create a POSITIVE impact on the mind, body, spirit and soul of the person listening.
When delivered through the sound of good music, it is quite easy for the person to be receptive.
With singing, words are magnified 10 x?s over.
I like to use singing to accomplish my main goal which is to make people feel positive vibrations and heal the soul.
I believe that words are powerful, but the energy, thought and intention put behind those words are even more powerful.
I always sing what I can feel, what I know, an what I believe in...
and the audiences feel?s it too..
Stay in touch,
I will do my very best to create the best music I can...
just for you.
Thanks again for being a part of my musical adventure.
One Love.
T. Shu'lah

From the GameSpot stage show at Comic-Con 2011 we show off some of the God of War Origins Collection!
by Dan Mihoerck on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
first off i need to apologize to megadeth1984 because i saw your comment about the person bein a noob, i agree on that but i accidentally pressed the thumbs down.... i meant to press the thumbs up button.. this is one game i am dying to get my hands on....
who ever is playing in this video is a noob!
Seriously, GOD3 finished the series. WTF can GOW4 possibly be about? How could they continue the story? Give it up people.
Completely called it on those casual tier trophies (read: selling points).
now we just need ratchet and clank collection, jak and daxter collection, and kingdom hearts collection. Then, the ps3 collections series will be complete.
@bigjoe8181 god of war is not about the story, God of war is about beating the crap out of enemies with airtight combat mechanics and epic set piece battles.
...god of war is sooooo over-rated...go ahead unlike me :P you have fun doing hot half naked women by doing push-button sequences, while i'm doing my real live girlfriend! hahahaha oh and don't tell me you're compelled by the story i think every 80's action movie had the anti-hero i lost my family so i'm out for revenge plot...lame....so yeah i did my rant just get you mad hehehe i'll probably get mediated too! but when a cow has been milk to the fullest someone's got to defend the cow which in this case is our collective wallets.....
i need GOW4! don't waist your time on these collections!
They milked this franchise too much....
Sry but I am so tired of Kratos, he owned when he first game out but now I am like dude get over it! Get a f$#king hobby, get a new family , do something other than seek revenge over and over again!!!!!! revenge is an endless cycle with no solution....He killed Zeus lol........and what did that solve!!!! It did feel good kicking Zeus's ass but in the end he had no family, no life, no nothing.......
im glad the PS3 is releasing all of these HD collections like the Prince of Persia, Metal Gear and and Ico collections. This way we can replay these great games we all grew up with. Anyways so stoked for this!
PS3 owners must be enjoyin.... i wish they put it in Xbox and PC...
This looks epic and will be even more epic on the Ps3 YAHH! But still I WANT GOD OF WAR 4!!! and Dang that lady was HOT! always loved the way they do the ladiesss
need it in xbox360 ,.,.,.,!!! :D
whose the noob playing? Dont let Kratos get beaten up so much.............
Make God of War games for PC PLEASE !!!
they should have been had these games on consoles
Can't get enough of Kratos! :D
ps3 is beast with these hd collections, gow collection, god of war origins, sly, ico collection, prince of persia, we got splinter cell trilogy comming and silent hill collection, and the multiplat mgs hd collection
HD remakes have been awesome. GOW 1 and 2, SLY series, Prince of Persia Wicked.
that was a good interveiw, the game looks really good.
Personally I love the PS3 HD remakes. This looks sick but I am most excited for the new Metal Gear Solid remake collection. Looks freakin amazing!!!
Good interview and the interviewee really sold me on this collection and look into a 3D tv. Maybe the Sony PS one to start. Good job.
great stuff,once the price comes down,ill pick it up,saves me buying a psp :)
will this be 60 fps?
>focus on graphics Big surprise. Action games aren't known for patches to their many errors. Would have done post-GoWII titles good to have been less secretive prior to release...free testing. >3D Casual ****. I'd rather have some of the infamous lock-ups of either title addressed. >trophies Their secondary focus, I'm sure. They should be as laughably easy as the other collection. I expect no challenges as an obstacle to trophy whores getting another Plat. I just loved seeing basic progression trophies. I'd be surprised if one could not get 90% (or more) of the trophies (with little effort) in a single playthrough. They'll probably only ask one to beat 'Hard' (rather than Very Hard) *hohoho*. All my disgust.
While the graphics aren't the sharpest (granted it may be an early build) and it's pretty tough to go from looking at GoW 3 to this. But I'm excited to play through these games. There was no way I was buying a PSP in order to do so.
Even if you hate me i have to say that the halo hd remake has better graphics than this portation in hd of gow psp version.Even if i have an xbox i would love to play gow on ps3.
this game looks even better than GoW collection! can't wait to hear Kratos saying ''You will not live to see the end of this day''.
It is basically the most awesome game i've seen!
LoL! Is it murder?!
I've really wanted to play these games but I don't want to buy a PSP for the few games on it I want. So this is great, though less reason to get a PSP.
Looks pretty darn awesome!

There is mention of it in previous games in the series, but the drug itself is first introduced to the player in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Once moon sugar - an indigenous spice to the Khajiit province of Elsweyr - is properly cultivated, this illegal narcotic is produced. While Skooma can be consumed in its raw form, in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind it is more commonly smoked via Skooma pipes. The drug is also found in the next installment of the series, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

After I made my final decision to attend Columbia nearly two years ago, my household conversations took on a new character. It was no longer a matter of where I was going to go to college, but what I was going to do once I got there.
In all honesty, joining a sorority was never really a part of those conversations. Maybe it was the "sorority girl" stereotype that I had always seen in movies or television or my own fears about the recruitment process, but I couldn't envision myself being a part of Greek life.
My father was actually the one who encouraged me to participate. Struck by the bonds one of his co-workers had maintained with his college fraternity brothers, he believed that my joining a sorority would only add to my college career. Feeling that I at least owed it to myself to try it out, I decided to take the leap. And now that I've been in a sorority for a year, I couldn't be any happier that I made that decision.
Being part of the recruitment process as an initiated sister this past weekend has made me reflect immensely on what Greek life has meant to me, and what it can offer to the women of this University. But what surprised me was that the women I spoke to nearly all had the same hope for what Greek life could offer them: community.
If you have ever read any kind of Columbia admissions materials, you've probably seen the words "Columbia community" advertised repeatedly. And if you were present last semester, you probably overheard or participated in conversations about it. But I think it's safe to say that this ideal doesn't play out so perfectly in our day-to-day lives. With four undergraduate schools situated in the large metropolis that is New York City, I think many of us find it difficult to feel connected to the University. Add in our campus-wide concerns about student wellness and stress, and it doesn't seem surprising that so many of the women I spoke with during recruitment were looking for community. And, in my experience, Greek life's ability to provide that community is its biggest strength.
It's this aspect that I think about most when telling friends about my experience in a sorority. It's having a home away from home. It's finding your niche. It's a support system. Being in a sorority is forming real friendships with women from all over this campus, women with whom you would probably have never even crossed paths otherwise. Being in a sorority is fun, but it is also enriching. It provides plenty of social opportunities. It's reaching out to other members of the Greek community, having cozy movie nights in with my best friends, or having sisterhood outings to various spots around the city, just to name a few. But it also provides opportunities to learn, opportunities to grow, and so many ways to give back. It's living out the ideals of excellence in scholarship, service, leadership, and fellowship upon which Greek societies were founded. Members of the Greek community are your club presidents, your student activists, and your class council representatives. You've probably seen them in full force at Relay for Life and Columbia Community Outreach, among other volunteer organizations. I know that my sisters are the ones who motivate and inspire me when I'm overwhelmed with the academic culture here, and they push me to go above and beyond when I doubt that I can.
When I reflect on my sorority experience, I think about my sisters constantly checking in on me when they know I've been feeling sick. I think about times when members of my chapter have experienced immense tragedies and the outpouring of support they received from their sisters. I think of my sisters, their diverse interests and talents, and the sheer passion they put into everything they do. I think about this community to which I belong, and I remember that I am home.
For me, this is the value of Greek life at Columbia: It provides a cohesive community in a place where that's not so easy to find. Greek life is not just what you see on 114th and 113th streets on a Saturday night. It's also friendships, support systems, volunteer work, and shared experiences, all in one place.
Perhaps what I've written here all sounds a bit grandiose, but I know that for me, sorority life truly has been all this and more, which makes it hard to think that just two years ago I would not have described sororities in this way. But maybe this change of heart is a testament to what Greek life can add to the lives of Columbia students, though many of us would deny it. We still have a long way to go when it comes to community building at this University. But instead of voicing complaints, perhaps Columbians can look to a system that has already established a community for the hundreds of women who have found themselves at home in their letters. So the next time someone walks by you in Greek letters, think twice about what those letters represent. The reality might surprise you.

Well said, Kristin. I have had similar experiences with the Greek community, not just within our sorority but among different Greek organizations. There's a sense of camaraderie and common values shared, and I have found this commonality to create unity. Thank you for sharing. I am proud to be your sister.

The inauguration of Kenya's fourth president will be held at the Moi Kasarani stadium and not the Nyayo stadium as earlier planned, the head of public service and chair of the government committee on the assumption of Office of the President Francis Kimemia said yesterday.
He said that the Kasarani stadium could accommodate more people--a maximum of 60,000-- than the Nyayo stadium which can only sit between 30,000 and 35,000 people.
"We also think Kasarani is more suitable even on issues of security," he said adding that the recent refurbishment of the stadium meant it would not cost as much as Nyayo stadium to spruce it up.
The 2002 inauguration of President Kibaki was a chaotic event held at Uhuru Park attended by thousands of people. The event presented a security nightmare for those detailed to provide security for the scores of VIPs presented.
At one stage during the event, hordes of people surged towards the motorcade of then outgoing President Moi even as they booed and chanted songs ridiculing his regime.
Kibaki's inauguration for the second term was a hurried affair conducted at State House late in the afternoon and with only a few invited guests present.
The then outgoing president Moi's presidential elections, Mwai Kibaki was sworn it at Uhuru Park in a ceremony attended by thousands of Kenyans and hordes of invited dignitaries. But after the controversial December 2007 victory, Kibaki was hurriedly sworn it at State House with only a few of invited guests.
Yesterday, Kimemia, who was accompanied by among others Inspector General of police David Kimaiyo, said the inauguration ceremony will be held within the capital city as provided by the law.
Article 141 (1) of the constitution states that the inauguration and swearing in of a president elect should be held in public before the Chief Justice or in his absence, before the Deputy Chief Justice.
Kimemia said those aggrieved with the choice of the venue can raise their objection through a memorandum to his committee. According to the schedule prepared by the committee and released last week, the inauguration ceremony will be held on March 26 if there is no re-run. In case there is a petition and it is dismissed, the swearing in will take place on April 16.
In case of a run-off for the presidency, the new president will be sworn in on April 30, and June 18 if there is a repeat of the election. Kimemia said the committee will seek the views of the various presidential candidates regarding the program of that day.
He said the candidates have also been asked to think about the guests they want invited in case they are declared the winner. At the same time, the Judiciary has announced the appointment of 47 judges who will swear in governors across the country.
Judiciary chief registrar Gladys Shollei announced that Chief Justice Willy Mutunga has also appointed 47 deputy registrars who will assist the judges in swearing in of the governors. Shollei said those appointed have already been notified.
The Transitional Authority said it has identified premises where governors will operate from in each of the 47 counties. He said venues where county assemblies will operate from have also been identified.

Scientists have managed to protect and regenerate the part of the brain that is damaged in Parkinson's disease, by genetically engineering cells to bypass the blood-brain barrier. The study was conducted in animals, but the approach could one day be used to treat brain conditions in humans, the researchers say.
The blood-brain barrier protects the brain from harmful substances, but also prevents drugs from entering, so experimental treatments have involved injecting drugs directly into the brain.
Now Clive Svensden at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, and colleagues have devised an alternative - implanting cells that act as a Trojan horse, churning out the drug from inside the brain's fortress.
The team took human neural progenitor cells (hNPCs) from fetal tissue at 10 to 15 weeks' gestation. These have a lot in common with stem cells, though they have already differentiated into specific neural cells.
Sprouting neurons
The researchers genetically modified the cells to produce a growth molecule called glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). This is produced naturally by the brain at around eight weeks' gestation in humans, but by 20 weeks it has all gone. Previous studies show that GDNF increases the survival and function of dopamine-producing cells, which are progressively destroyed in Parkinson's disease.
Symptoms of the disease were induced in rats and monkeys by destroying 70% of the animals' dopamine-producing cells on one side of the brain. Ten days later, the genetically engineered hNPCs were injected into a region of the animals' brains called the striatum.
After five weeks, there was a noticeable difference in the brains of the animals that had received the treatment compared with controls. "Not only had the cells been producing GDNF like a mini-pump', but the protective molecule had migrated in the brain to the substantia niagra, where the dopamine-releasing neurons are located," Svendsen says. "This caused the neurons to start sprouting new processes and release dopamine." The effect lasted for three months.
Seth Love, a neurologist at Bristol University in the UK, who has experimented with injecting GDNF into the brains of Parkinson's patients, says the study is promising. "Using progenitor cells is a great advance and should reduce any immune response and allow for more biologically active GDNF," he told New Scientist.
Kieran Breen, director of research at the Parkinson's Disease Society, UK, is optimistic but cautions that the technology is at an early stage of development. "The issue is the ability to control the amount of GDNF produced, once the stem cells have been introduced into the brain," he says.

Democrats are feeling encouraged after last night's speech from first lady Michelle Obama—and with good reason. She turned in a stirring performance, taking a speech that was well written and delivering it just as well, if not better. But the communications team at the Democratic National Convention should also be left wondering why some of the other speeches of the night fell flat, most notably that of Julian Castro, the San Antonio mayor for whom the unreasonably high expectations turned out to be a burden rather than spring board.
Part of the problem is that when you get compared to Barack Obama in 2004, you better be charismatic, and Castro doesn't quite have the easy yet confident charm Obama displayed. Castro, like an actor who looks like he's acting, was visibly working to produce what didn't come naturally. Another factor was the general tone of the evening: whereas the GOP convention theme was that Obama is a good man but not a good president, last night's DNC lineup was a particularly nasty string of speakers clawing at Mitt Romney's character. In 2004, Obama showed an ability to speak above the partisan fray. Last night, Castro was just another participant in a one-sided cafeteria food fight.
But it was also the text of the speech. It started off well, with Castro telling poignant stories of his grandmother, noting that when Castro and his twin brother (who introduced him last night) were born, their grandmother paid the hospital bill with prize money from winning a cook-off. He told his family's classic immigrant story, made all the more powerful by describing the Texas bootstrap culture they ended up in—a place where the hard work was only beginning.
But the speech quickly got bogged down in awkward phrases and unsteady delivery. Castro transitioned clumsily from describing the American dream and upward mobility to this: "And that's the middle class—the engine of our economic growth. With hard work, everybody ought to be able to get there. And with hard work, everybody ought to be able to stay there!" And then, almost as an afterthought, finished the line: "—and go beyond!" From that, the paragraph veered into confused metaphors and clunky lines: "The dream of raising a family in a place where hard work is rewarded is not unique to Americans. It's a human dream, one that calls across oceans and borders. The dream is universal, but America makes it possible. And our investment in opportunity makes it a reality."
And unfortunately with Obama in office, the DNC was never far from demonstrating the cult of personality that has followed the president since his presidential run four years ago. Castro, rather than offering ideas, served up one of the most cringe-inducing examples of it when he said: "We all celebrate individual success. But the question is, how do we multiply that success? The answer is President Barack Obama."
And there were lines that were plain awful–not just cheesy, but bordering on the nonsensical. The worst example was this: "In the end, the American dream is not a sprint, or even a marathon, but a relay. Our families don't always cross the finish line in the span of one generation. But each generation passes on to the next the fruits of their labor."
You can only elevate bad writing so high, and Castro was saddled with a speech few could have elevated to meet the expectations of the moment.

Changing the Electoral Game in Colombia
In October, as Florida braced for Hurricane Wilma and the White House tried to forestall a political tempest, a major development in Latin America sailed beneath the radar. Colombia's Constitutional Court handed down a landmark ruling that was celebrated by some, derided by others and labeled "transcendental" by the news media. The decision: A law passed last December that would allow incumbent President Alvaro Uribe to run for re-election would stand, and the nation's Constitution would be amended make room.
Under Colombia's 1991 Carta Magna, the president has until now been limited to a single, four-year term--a safeguard against dictatorship and a marker of one of Colombia's defining contradictions: Despite its reputation for instability and impunity, the country's judicial system and democratic institutions have long been held as sacred. For a society that once kept presidential terms as short as two years, such a constitutional extension of executive power is, simply put, a big deal.
Just how big could be seen in the local press. In Bogotá, the story held a monopoly on magazine covers for weeks. The weekly Semana proclaimed it "The Zero Hour" over an image of the president, in dark sunglasses, days before the ruling. Afterward, the image of a grinning Uribe illustrated a story headlined "President or Emperor?" The magazine Cambio published a special edition promising the "untold story" behind the court's decision. This was not simply tabloid hyperbole. The re-election issue is considered the most important decision by the high court in decades. It amounts, as a columnist for the daily El Tiempo argued, to "altering the rules of the game of the country, politically and institutionally."
For Uribe's friends in the White House, the news from Bogotá could only be a good thing--but back in Washington, coping with hurricane recovery efforts, fallout from the Harriet Miers nomination and the ongoing CIA leak investigation, there was no word from the Bush Administration.
Coincidentally, however, the ruling overlapped with a little-noted anniversary, marked by Bush in a memo to Congress the same day. In October 1995, under Bill Clinton, Colombia had been declared to be in a state of "national emergency" by the US government, because its narco-traffickers presented an "unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States." Hours before the decision that could extend Uribe's tenure for another term, Bush extended the state of emergency for another year: "The circumstances that led to the declaration of a national emergency have not been resolved," he said.
The extension itself is unremarkable--it happens every year. But a decade after the drug trade made Colombia an official emergency, the "war on drugs" is not only unresolved; it has been a costly failure. Under Bush, the bloated enterprise known as Plan Colombia morphed from a mainly anti-trafficking measure to a $3 billion windfall for the Colombian military--an army with well-documented ties to the county's right-wing paramilitaries. Today, Colombia exports $10 billion in cocaine to the United States, roughly half of which is under paramilitary control. The paras, of course, are also responsible for some of the most grisly massacres in recent chapters of Colombia's armed conflict.
Nevertheless, Colombia remains Bush's political anchor in Latin America. As Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns told the Inter-American Dialogue on the eve of Uribe's visit to Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch in August, "We have no better partner in Latin America." Furthermore, he said, "We support a follow-up to Plan Colombia."
Any such follow-up already includes White House support of Uribe's "Justice and Peace Law," a disquieting bit of legislation that has been widely condemned as a gift to the paramilitaries. The law, signed this summer, is a massive demobilization initiative that is allowing thousands of paramilitaries to trade in their arms for the likelihood that they will never be held accountable for their crimes. Colombian human rights groups have called the law "a mimicry of justice, which, rather than bringing us closer to peace, will distance us from it." In a scathing July editorial, the New York Times suggested a more appropriate name for the legislation: "Impunity for Mass Murderers, Terrorists and Major Cocaine Traffickers Law."
Uribe's response to critics has employed the now-familiar tack of linking them with terrorists. In a pointed reply to the New York Times, he warned that its criticism was useful to "friends of the guerrillas" intent on undermining the government. He questioned whether his detractors would be so outraged if the law were seen as benefiting the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rather than the right-wing paras. Mostly, however, he reminded people of his security record--major reductions in kidnappings, for example--saying, "Administrations have to be judged by their results."
Uribe likes to talk about results, and indeed, his popularity is largely based on increased security measures that, for many war-weary Colombians, trump all other criticisms. But the oft-cited decline in kidnappings since Uribe took office has been accompanied by an upsurge in human rights abuses by the state. Mass arrests with names like Operation Liberty have targeted human rights workers and citizens living in rural guerrilla zones. And according to the Colombian Commission of Jurists, thirty-three human rights activists were murdered or "disappeared" between August 2002 and August 2004. Such repression--especially as it occurs outside Bogotá--hasn't been enough to put a dent in Uribe's 80 percent approval ratings, however. Given the choice, many would gladly take peace over justice. For his part, Uribe is happy to perpetuate his results-based leadership image by reminding his constituents of how much safer they feel.
On a cold night in early October, as the country waited for word from the high court, a car bomb exploded in northern Bogotá, an assassination attempt against a conservative senator that left his bodyguards bloodied but the politician unharmed. Uribe rushed to the scene of the crime to denounce the terrorist act, blaming the FARC. Whether the fifty kilos of nitrate (which recalled an earlier, fear-filled era in the capital) helped nudge the judges toward their ruling may now be a moot point, but the timing made it hard to believe the decision over the re-election law would entirely ignore politics in favor of constitutionality. (As the USA Patriot Act proved, there's no denying the political potency of a president with a megaphone.)
One more legal hurdle remains before Uribe can run again: The court must consider the Electoral Guarantees Law, which ostensibly insures that a sitting president cannot abuse his position for electoral advantage. The ruling, scheduled for mid-November, is expected to be in Uribe's favor. After that, an Uribe campaign is likely a foregone conclusion.
Uribe's re-election would not necessarily mean a drift toward dictatorship. But coupled with Colombia's increasingly militarized society, the potential mandate imbued by the re-election ruling cannot be underestimated. "The most important thing for this administration has been the policy of asserting its authority," Uribe declared this summer. For the sake of Colombia and US foreign policy, let's hope there's more to it than that.

Santa Rita Triple C 2004
Bordeaux Red Blends from Chile, South America
Winemaker's Notes
This superb wine is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carménère, three varieties originally from Bordeaux that have been carefully cultivated by Santa Rita. Triple C benefits from the best of both the Old and New World, combining the elegance of traditional grape varieties with state-of-the-art New World techniques. The specially selected grapes are grown at Santa Rita's Alto Jahuel Estate in Maipo Valley, Chile, approximately 40 miles from Santiago. Triple C represents a new style in Chilean winemaking, becoming a true expression of Chilean nature; complex and abundant.
Blend: 55% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carménère
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Not often do you find blends of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère. And it's been a while (1999) since we last tasted it; this version is ripe, a bit hard and very, very serious. The nose has complex olive, cassis and herb aromas, while the balanced but raging palate is ripped, tannic and fully acidic. Drink now, but with food. "
Vina Santa Rita Winery
Heritage and enterprise are hallmarks of Santa Rita, one of Chile's premier wine estates. Founded in 1880 by Domingo Fernandez in Chile's Maipo Valley, this historic property was among the first to pioneer plantings of European grape varieties in Chile.
In 1980, it was acquired by its present owner, Ricardo Claro, under whom Santa Rita has reaped the rewards of continuous investment, resulting in a period of impressive growth, during which the winery has consolidated its position in the vanguard of Chile's most successful and innovative estates. Initiatives include the highly successful launch of Santa Rita's 120 Series of wines and a range of ultra-premium wines, notably the highly acclaimed Casa Real and Triple C. Wide-ranging enhancements embrace the purchase of choice new vineyards, plantings with top quality clones, improved trellising and irrigation, balanced viticulture, restricted yields, later harvesting, individual block farming, small-lot vinification, and an increased emphasis on sustainable agriculture.
Today Santa Rita exports to more than 70 countries worldwide. The property accounts for outstanding vineyards in Chile's most important appellations - the Maipo Valley; Casablanca; Rapel; Apalta; Leyda and Curico - enabling access to diverse climates and terrain. View all Vina Santa Rita Wines
About ChileView a map of Chile wineries (CHEE-lay)Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south – also why the country has remained phylloxera free. Quite a few wineries in Chile were founded by large French wine companies. Seeing the potential of the country, vineyards were bought and planted by these French folks and the results tell of a smart investment. Some of these wineries include: Los Vascos, Casa Lapostolle and Cousino Macul. And while the inspiration may have been French, but the wines here are quite Chilean.

Notable FactsThe main regions of Chile include Maipo (pronounced MY-poh), known for reds like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere; Casablanca Valley, a region producing delicious Sauvignon Blanc, as well as other whites & some reds; Colchaugua, an inland district creating amazing red wines from Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, particularly in the Apalta sub-region; and Rapel Valley, settled right under Maipo and producing the same red varietals. A couple of smaller regions to watch include Limari and Elqui, two valleys further north, producing some delicious cool-climate Chardonnay and Bio Bio, an area further south, which is also focused on cool-climate varieties. Chilean wines are growing in exports and more consumers are enjoying the delicious values coming from the country. Red wines of the region, though they cannot be generalized, make the whole gamut of wine quality – quaffable to collectible. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Carmenere are the main players, though Syrah is also making a splash. Some of the best reds are blends of the above varieties. As for whites, Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp, herbal and racy, while Chardonnay is richer in style with full-bodied texture and tropical fruit flavors.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Thetrainline updated for iPhone 5 support, tickets on your phone coming soon
For UK commuters who use the train a lot, thetrainline for iPhone is one of those must have apps, and today it has been updated to finally support the 4-inch display on the iPhone 5. Better still, we're told that the ability to have your tickets sent straight to your phone is coming soon.
Finally fitting the iPhone 5 display properly is pleasing, but it's what's to come that's really interesting. There's no mention of how the tickets will be sent to your iPhone, though we can only hope that it happens through Passbook integration. But, for regular train users this is sure to be of interest, though it means an end to inserting your ticket in the barriers to exit the station.
The last time this app was updated was way back in November 2012, so we're certainly overdue. Also included in todays update are improved station lists, and an improved journey search that lets you use trains that have already departed -- perhaps even with you on it. It's also been given a little bit of spit and polish, and refreshed the design a little. I buy all my train tickets through thetrainline, so I'm really excited about getting my tickets sent to my iPhone down the line. How about you?

Thetrainline updated for iPhone 5 support, tickets on your phone coming soon
They'll have to employ a human being to do the job again ;-)
The ticket barriers actually have a barcode scanner built in. So, very much finally I won't have to carry about rubbish bits of cardboard.
Buy your tickets from a train operator website - East Coast seems to have the best and you can still get the advance pricing and pickup at station or delivery, but you don't have to pay any delivery, transaction, or credit card fee! No need to use thetrainline. :)
Also iPhone tickets have already launched on the Chiltern Railways line I believe, they've added barcode scanners to the ticket barriers (like on the Eurostar ones) so still no need for a person!
