Finally PRed!!!
Summary: 3:56:14, missing goal of sub-3:55 by 75 seconds.
Aargh, this is long!
Woke up at 3:45, breakfast (4 am) was coffee (about 20 oz), oatmeal, banana and small white-bread roll. Also started drinking a last cup of Cytocarb. Finished all liquids by 5.
I ran into a couple acquaintances from a running group taking MARTA to the start, both of them running the half. We chatted on the way to Centennial Olympic Park. Got there about 6:25, a bit later than planned. When we got there, I split off to look for my people. I needed to drop my bag off at the LRS tent and find the BoMF table. Luckily those were near each other. By the time I got to the BoMF area, I realized I would definitely need to use the porta-potty. Exchanged greeting with them after a quick circle-up, I headed to get in the porta-potty line. I had meant to eat a few PowerBar chews before the start, but since I was running late I just forgot. After the potty stop, it was already almost 6:45. I ran to the LRS tent to drop my bag. Talked to just a couple people quick, and headed to corral. Went the wrong way somehow and ended up having to go past some faster corrals to get to mine.
Got to the front of the corral and found the pacers, positioned myself right behind them. Then I remembered jojo. I wanted to look for her to say hi. I craned my neck around, looking for someone that fit the description she'd posted. Then I realized she was standing just behind me. I introduced myself and we chatted a bit. I told her the pacer was good, and we'd be fine.
For being in corral F, it didn't take long to get to the start, I started 2:37 after clock time. I started my watch just before crossing the line, then noticed almost immediately that it was showing only the elapsed time and no pace or distance info. Aargh! I hadn't hit the button to find the satellites. I hit the button and the watch did a pretty good job of finding them, even though we were already running, but I knew the first split would be off. It was pretty crowded at first and a little hard to stay with the pacers as they moved through the crowd. I didn't worry about the first few miles being a little slow, because I know it would thin out. I guess I did get tired of trying to thread my way through people to stay right next to them. One of the guys that was part of the pace team was running a bit ahead of the main pacer with the flag, and I decided to do that too. I had actually hoped to come in a couple minutes under 3:55, anyway. After a while I turned around a little to see where the pacers were behind me, but I couldn't see them. It was hard to turn and look for them while running, so I just kept running.
I set my watch to autolap at 1.01 miles, since that usually results in matching up pretty well with the mile markers. Except that it was way off from the beginning because of not having the satellites at first. So it was autolapping in the middle of miles, making it hard for me to follow my elevation profile based pace band very well. Several people running around me had 3:55 bibs on their backs, also running ahead of the pacer
In the early miles I was enjoying the neighborhood cheering sections and people that came out to watch. The pace felt very comfortable and the temp was still pretty cool. I high-fived kids and smiled at some of the people in costume. I was glad when the halfers split off at mile 7, since we'd have more room. I felt glad I'd trained on most of the course, as I was able to know ahead of time where the turns were and which side of the road to be on. The uphill sections, like the Candler Park hill which is short and steep, did not seem to give me much trouble. The long climb at mile 10-11 was okay too, though I did start to worry some that maybe I should be running these sections a little slower. It was hard to know exactly because of the watch being messed up. Because of this, later in the race, I mostly tracked elapsed time and compared with the mile markers.
The section through Decatur (mile 13) and Emory (mile 16) went along pretty uneventfully. I occasionally exchanged a couple sentences with other runners. One guy asked if I was running 3:55 and I told him I was on pace to. He said he was pacing his buddy for a sub-4. Then he ran back to find his buddy.
It was in the Druid Hills neighborhood around mile 17-19 that it started not to feel easy anymore, just as the splits below show. There were quite a few people around me with 3:55 bibs on their backs like mine. One guy I remembered talking to early on in the race was looking pretty good and I tried to stay with him. Another guy who didn't have a 3:55 bib on asked if I was ahead of the flag and I said I was pretty sure I was, hadn't seen them pass me. He asked if I was going to negative split, and I told him I'd love to but not sure if I can. The hills in that section aren't super bad, but it just seemed to drag on forever as the course winds through that neighborhood. By about 19-20 I was beginning to be unsure I would make my goal. Even the little hills around 20-21 seemed much bigger to me.
Things got a little better briefly as we entered Piedmont Park. I'd just downed a gel and some sport beans. A lot of people were cheering and I did some fist pumping. Somewhere right around this time the one guy from the pace crew that I kind of know called out my name and encouraged me, said we were still on track. I tried to stay with him. Right around mile 22 the main pacer and the other guy with him went past. I couldn't tell if any regular runners were really running with the pacers. There is a little out and back section in the park past mile 22 and I got to see how far the pacer guy was ahead of me, which was not that far, but my legs felt like lead and my feet were cramping.
Leaving the park at almost mile 23, I had almost managed to catch up with the pace team, but then we hit the 12th Street hill, and I was done. That hill just took so much out of me. I tried to think I could catch back up to the pacers, but it wasn't happening. I could see the flag up ahead, but I couldn't get there. We ran through Georgia Tech where they had a great set-up with floats and music and enthusiastic young people who were doing their best to make it fun. Too bad it was all I could do to keep from collapsing. I kept looking at my watch trying to calculate if my goal time was still possible if I could get my early pace back, and I could see that technically it was. I thought of different race reports I'd read from forumites who'd pulled off great feats like that. .. I pulled open a pack of sport beans and tried to eat some, but that seemed to take too much energy. I screamed at myself inside to pull it together and just run faster. There were signs for half a mile left and quarter mile left and I still kept trying to calculate what time I'd need to pull it off. Near the end I heard someone call out my name, I guess I thought they read it off my bib, found out later it was some people from the training program at the LRS who'd run the half..
Here are my GPS splits from the race and the the per mile paces derived from them (first one is way off due to satellite issue and last one is way off since it took forever to stop my watch):
There is no final split because of the GPS problem and the way I have my autolap set, the 26 was actually for 0.98 mile. But that split has to be way wrong too, because I fumbled around with my watch forever before I got it stopped, so it must have been a fair bit faster (didn't stop my watch until after 3:57). So I guess I was able to pick it up at the very end.

Ah, great report! Sorry you didn't hit your goal but it sounds like you really fought for it. Hills late in a race are evil. EVIL! It sounds like you had fun, though - good crowd support and getting to meet JoJo!

Wow- what a great race report! I'm always amazed at how much detail people are able to remember from a race- I never can. 75 seconds- that is frustrating. But a great race nonetheless.
Go figure
Sorry you missed your goal, but as I said in the other thread, you were close enough that I think you know the fitness was there. What is it with our group not getting to the race early enough? We all need to work on that! How funny that Jodi was right next to you while you were looking for her. Sorry about all of your watch troubles. That's very frustrating, and seems to happen to me all the time too. I guess the good thing about all the miles we all put in is that we can sense pace pretty well without the watch.
Those hills sounded really tough, especially since they kept coming. Seeing a pacer pass you is so tough mentally, but I'm impressed that you gave it your best to latch back on.
Keep up the good work...between the consistent miles and the few pounds you're trying to drop I'm sure you'll have yourself where you want to be in no time.

jojo: There were a few hills before 17, but I barely noticed them either. Definitely the later part was much worse!
mostly harmless
Susan, you really ran a great race. I'm sorry you missed your goal but I'm confident that you'll get there. I hope you are proud of the effort you put into running this race because it is really impressive! I echo what Julia said about hills late in a race being evil.
Thanks for writing this awesome RR too!
ETA: The link to your pics didn't work but I was able to stalk find you on the MarathonFoto site. I really like this one.
That's weird, the link works when I click on it...hmmm. Did it not even go to the site or what?
Thanks, that's my favorite one too.

Sorry you missed your goal. It can be frustrating to be so close and yet still so far away. However, it was close so I hope the disappointment has faded and you are able to look back and be proud of how hard you pushed at the end. Great job and nice photo!

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- The Denver Broncos will be without linebacker D.J. Williams until mid-November after the NFL added three games to his suspension Friday.
Williams was punished for violating the league's policy and program for substances of abuse following his conviction in August of driving while ability impaired.
He already was serving a six-game suspension to start the season for violating the league's banned-substances policy after the NFL said he supplied a "non-human" urine sample during an offseason drug test.
Williams, the team's leading tackler in four of the last five seasons, won't be eligible to return to the Broncos until Nov. 12.
The Broncos were flying to New England for their game against the Patriots when the new suspension was handed down.

First he defines the types of pension programs for state employees, he outlined how funding for the programs is not sustainable for the promises made to pension recipients. The state admits to an unfunded liability of $140 billion, but McQuillan says that is actually an underestimate. According to most economists, the true amount of the unfunded liability is $430 billion.
How did this happen? McQuillan explains and offers six solutions to keep the pension systems solvent.

Hot Harry on a Horse gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Princes on horses
There's never going to be a time when I don't post any photos I can of these two on their horses doing their sport of kings thing.

The Palace announced the other day that Captain Wales - that's his really hot army name - was named Best Co-Pilot Gunner upon completion of helicopter training.

Brits and open-neck shirts
It's an instant moisturiser for me. David Beckham, Clive Owen, Hugh Grant, white shirts open at the neck, what is it about when an Englishman wears it that makes it extra extra sexy?

Where a Prince pees
At Ascot yesterday, where both princes played polo, no doubt these were probably the cleanest portable potties on the planet, but still… It has to be bad, like BAD, like life or death, before I will step into one of those. I even have trouble using a half decent washroom in a Chinese restaurant – shudder. Full Story

Architectural Espionage
this wiki
- "Speaking of plans, do you have the layout to Caligula's Casino?"
- — Wu Zi Mu.
Architectural Espionage is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to the protagonist Carl Johnson by Wu Zi Mu as part of plans to pull off a heist of Caligula's Casino from the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas.
Carl Johnson has recently arrived in Las Venturas, and is already making an impact on this new locale. He has just scared Johnny Sindacco into revealing the mafia family responsible for the trouble being caused for Wu Zi Mu and his Four Dragons Casino. In fact, the Sindacco Family is vying for control of Caligula's Palace (just up The Strip from Woozie's casino) with the Leone Family and the Forelli Family. Carl's new associate in Las Venturas, Ken Rosenberg, has been acting as a go-between for the three families, giving Carl the opportunity to infiltrate and rob Caligula's while the families battle it out with each other. The first step in his preparations to rob Caligula's main vault is to photograph blueprints of the building's layout. To do this, Carl heads down to the City Planning Department, which houses the blueprints under heavy security. By creating a diversion, Carl obtains an illegal photograph of the blueprints, and blasts his way out of the building. After evading the pursuing authorities, Carl returns the film to the Four Dragons Casino to be developed.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- You need a camera to get a copy of those casino blueprints. Grab one from some tourists at the strip
- You've got a camera, now head to the planning department building

- "Somebody looking for a fat Slav with a bladder problem?"
- ―Johnny Klebitz
Roman's Holiday is a mission in The Lost and Damned. It is the final mission given to protagonist Johnny Klebitz by Ashley Butler,
The mission begins when Ashley phones Johnny and says she is in trouble. Johnny makes his way to her house, when he arrives two of Dimitri Rascalov's men are there. They say that Ashley is in debt to Dimitri and he has not been paid. They tell Johnny that he has to kidnap Roman Bellic or they'll kill Ashley. Johnny goes out to kidnap Roman with the help of Malc. After this mission, Mallorie Bardas will discover Roman's kidnapping and calls Niko to warn him. Niko then saves his cousin.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to Malc
- Go to the gambling den
- Keep an eye out for Roman Bellic
- Go to the warehouse
- Threaten Roman Bellic but do not kill him (If Roman escapes)
Johnny will call Malc and ask him to help kidnap Roman. You must drive to Malc's location then you both get into his car. Malc is up on Y in Northwood. At this point you must drive to the "hardware store" where Roman gambles. A cutscene then begins which shows you and Malc putting Roman in the back of your car. Now you need to drive to the warehouse in Bohan and drop Roman off. If you completely stop the car for any reason, such as hitting an object that won't give (like those wooden telephone poles), Roman will pop out of the backseat and attempt to run off. Fortunately he runs very slow and falls a lot. Target his head with a weapon to scare him back into the car.
Alternatively you can dial the number of Roman's Taxi Firm (555-2222) and he will come to Johnny and Malc in his car which will save you the journey over to the hardware store in Broker. This also makes the drive over to the warehouse easier as it is less likely that Roman will escape from the car.
Video Walkthrough
- If Johnny checks his phonebook after he calls Malc, he won't see Malc's name there.
- Roman runs off once only. If the car is stopped another time, Roman won't run off because Malc gets hold of him. While running, Roman will shout things like "Run, Roman, run!", "Come on, Roman, escape!" and "Move, you fat, stupid, legs, move!".
- When Johnny threatens Roman and gets him back in the car, Malc'll tie Roman so he doesn't escape again.
- Malc's Presidente cannot get damaged before he and Johnny enter it. If it does get damaged, the player will fail the mission.
- If Malc is killed, the mission will fail and Johnny will let Roman go because he doesn't want to be with him.
- Most will recognize this mission because it explains how Roman was kidnapped in Grand Theft Auto IV. He was later rescued by his cousin from the same warehouse.
- Roman soils himself during this mission, this is brought up a second time at the end of Hostile Negotiation.
- The name of the mission is a play on the 1957 film Roman Holiday.
- If you call Roman by the number, he will question why Johnny is asking where he is. Johnny will say that two girls want a great ride in a limo, so Roman will accept and arrive in his taxi. He will shout out all possible great places, such as Middle Park, Star Junction and maybe himself. When Johnny and Malc go to him, the kidnapping starts.
- It's possible to kill Malc and steal Roman's Taxi after the mission, but it is hard to. The best way is to phone and wait for Roman, then after cutscene of kidnapping, shoot Malc and take car to the closest parking area (Playboy X's loft).
- Ironically, Johnny does not know that Roman's cousin is Niko Bellic, a man previously he worked with during a mission for Elizabeta Torres, although he did mention working with an Eastern European and wondered if Roman would be like him.
- This is the first mission in the GTA IV era where Roman appears without Niko.
- At the beginning of the mission, in Ashley's apartment, there is a portrait of Ashley and Johnny together. If observed closely, it can be noted that Johnny had more hair before the events of The Lost and Damned.
- After you rescue Roman in Hostile Negotiation, he may text Niko saying that a "biker guy" kidnapped him, clearly referring to Johnny.
- While being kidnapped, Roman will apologize for many things (shitting in his pants, women he chased, internet porn, laughing at Brucie's balls, etc.).
- In the cutscene when Johnny meets Malc, Malc's Presidente is equipped with a spoiler, but once Johnny gets in the car there is no spoiler.
- This is the only time we see Roman taking a dispatch call himself instead of sending one of his other drivers.
- This is only mission where the player have chance to steal Roman's Taxi in TLAD.

That's text-erity: Iowa girl all thumbs, wins national title - CNN.com
Kinda sad that txting is becoming a competition, but there were some funny parts to the article
The fourth place finisher "Rowe failed to accurately text "Which wicked witch wished which more wicked witch in the well?" while a human emoticon talked trash about her sister." I wonder if it was jimlad?
Also the interview at the end, while rather sad... is kinda funny (Yes, she granted an exclusive txting interview with CNN )
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!

I hope they never give her a drivers license
It's kind of sad a 15 year old that texts fast is going to make more in a year than 1 do :(
I caught the middle of an interview (texting the alphabet with a blindfold on) with her on the Today show (or one of the other network morning shows). Didn't realize she was from DSM.

|This is the article on the kind of exams. If you are looking for the article on the story arc, head to Chūnin Exam Arc.
The Chūnin Selection Exams (中忍選抜試験, Chūnin Senbatsu Shiken)[1] are a type of test to test the abilities of the genin. If the genin perform well, they will be considered for promotion to chūnin.
To become a chūnin, a genin participates in a wide-scale examination, known as the Chūnin Selection Exams, with their team. Despite Kakashi Hatake claiming earlier that all three members of a cell is required to participate together, it may be assumed that a genin does not necessarily have to undertake the exam along with their team-mates under circumstances since Sakura Haruno succeeded in becoming a chūnin during the time-skip with her teammates Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha both being absent during the period, and because Shikamaru Nara was already a chūnin when Chōji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka took the exam during the time-skip. The only exam seen in the series is a three-stage exam held in Konohagakure.
At least in Konoha, the Chūnin Selection Exams take part in three different stages, all means of testing genin in having the necessary skills and judgment required to become a chūnin and thinning out those who aren't skilled enough. The test can differ from year to year, so the specific details for each task may differ.
- The first stage (proctored by Ibiki Morino) is a written test, which includes difficult questions related to different ninja subjects, and it is designed to be too difficult to be answered by a normal genin. It checks information gathering and decision-making abilities, because, to pass, the participants must find a reliable source of information, then discreetly cheat off them without getting caught by the watchful instructors. As such, the instructors place chūnins within the mass to provide a reliable source to cheat off of. However, extremely intelligent ninjas can solve such questions without resorting to such, the prominent example being Sakura Haruno. During the first stage in the tenth and final question, the genin are told that if they fail the question they'll be forbidden to enter the exam again, but they can leave now and try another year. It test their resolve and willingness to take risks, and if they decide to stay, they immediately pass. All three members of a team must pass this section of the exam in order to advance. In the anime, where it is stated that Ibiki Morino had proctored the exams before, it was revealed that he had selected different scenarios for the tenth question, with different solutions, such as giving the choice of either quitting and having the whole squad fail or continuing and having the lowest scoring member of the squad be forced to remain a genin forever (solution is to quit, rather than sacrifice squad members for personal gain).
- The second stage (proctored by Anko Mitarashi) tests the abilities of accomplishing a mission and real life survival skills without a sensei, as the participants are locked within a dangerous training area and asked to survive five days without outside help. They are also required to obtain two different scrolls: Scroll of Heaven (天の書, Ten no Sho) and Scroll of Earth (地の書, Chi no Sho) in order to move on to the third stage, forcing them to fight one another and hold on to their own. Kabuto also mentioned that it is possible for teams to gather multiple copies of scrolls to trade for information from other teams about the strength and abilities of other villages, to give them to other ninja from their own village, or simply to reduce the number of scrolls available, and thus the number of teams reaching the next stage. All three members of a team must pass this section of the exam in order to advance.
- The third and final stage (proctored by Genma Shiranui, originally supposed to be Hayate Gekkō) consists of tournament-like fights between those remainders who passed the previous two stages, observed by a council of daimyō and village ninja that decides who becomes a Chūnin and who does not. This exam takes place one month after the second phase, to allow the participants to prepare themselves.
While the winners are able to proceed to fight the next opponent, aptitude, rather than winning, is evaluated to determine whether a candidate is promoted; for example, Shikamaru Nara forfeits his first match but is still promoted because of his strategic aptitude. This way, anyone who makes it to the third stage of the Exams has a chance to become chūnin. However, it is also possible for none of the candidates to become chūnin if the judges believe that they do not have appropriate qualifications. Those who win and advance to the next round have more chances to show their aptitude.
Preliminaries may also be held if too many ninja teams reach the end. In the Chūnin Exam Arc, seven teams, an unusually high number, completed the second phase of the test. The losers in this extra round cannot participate in the final tournament and thus cannot be considered for promotion to chūnin. From this point on, team members no longer need to all pass their respective battles in order for their comrades to advance.
During the examinations, death may be involved. As such, participants are required to sign a release form to acknowledge and accept such risks. An example is when Gaara massacred Team Shigure.
Originally in Konoha, the Chūnin Selection Exams went through three rounds, each similar to the current. The primary difference between the two is that the Second Round in the Forest of Death consisted of regulated matches, making it significantly safer. This is presumably due to the Chūnin Exam having only held ninja from Konoha as opposed to the other villages. The phases are also monitored by the Hokage and the competing team's jōnin leaders.
- First Phase: While nothing is known about the original first test, it is presumably similar to the written test used during Konoha's later examinations.
- Second Phase: Team Matches (proctored by Kurenai Yūhi's Father) The second stage consisted of regulated, pre-choosen matches in the Forest of Death
- Third Phase: Individual Matches: The original third stage works nearly identically to the one used in the Chūnin Exam Arc except that it appears to follow a bracket style, meaning a competitor may have to defeat more than one opponent.
In the non-canon ninth Naruto OVA, Gaara hosts a Chūnin examination to help find more potential Chūnin candidates to take part in the Fourth Shinobi World War. It was commented by Temari that the examination style was irregular for this reason. Like Konoha's chūnin examinations, it appears to be stage based. Use of senjutsu was made against the rules during the exam due to it being an unfair advantage Naruto Uzumaki would possess.
- A preliminary stage is shown in which many genin are locked into a large empty and dangerous fenced off desert space known as Drill Area or the Demonic Sea for an unknown amount of time. The desert space's only known inhabitants appears to be large carnivorous bugs. Aside from this no known plants, animals or rocks are known to exist. The purpose of this phase appears to be similar to Konoha's second test, though it is unknown if one progresses from it in the same manner.
- The final stage of the exam consists of 1 on 1 Battles in which the winner becomes chūnin. The stage is held on the edge of the Desert Space in a large arena. This stage seems to follow similar rules to Konoha's optional preliminary stage while still remaining similar to their final portion.
In the past, each village held their own chūnin exam. After the Third Ninja World War, allied ninja villages agreed to hold the exams together at the selected village that would host the exam. This was done to improve relations between the villages and prevent war between them. Another advantage is that ninja that took the exam might attract clients who are interested in hiring them. Because of the growing number of ninja in each village, the exams are hosted twice every year. The exams are also used as a gambling device and during the Invasion of Konoha, Sunagakure and Otogakure used the exam to their advantage to declare war against Konohagakure.
- According to Kabuto, during the first Chūnin Exams seen in the anime and manga, the number of participants from different villages were as follows:[2][3]
- Konohagakure — 87 participants
- Sunagakure — 30 participants
- Amegakure — 21 participants
- Kusagakure — 6 participants
- Takigakure — 6 participants
- Otogakure — 3 participants
- Total — 153
- In the first Naruto OVA, Kakashi mentioned that in the past, genin went to Akagahara with the dream to become the best ninja and those who returned safely were accepted as chūnin.
- Although there are Getsugakure ninja shown in the first stage, they are not mentioned.[4][5]
- In the non-canon ninth Naruto OVA, use of senjutsu was against the rules during the exam due to it being an unfair advantage.
- In the Land of Tea Arc, during an escort mission, it is revealed that the first exam proctor, Ibiki Morino, failed his younger brother Idate Morino for risking the future of his squad.[6]
- Years earlier, the Chūnin proctors were matched against each other; Anko was matched against Hayate and Ibiki.

Jambo, cheers for the coming week, and did you readers have any thought provoking moments in the last one?.
I did when half listening to a broadcast on the
Africa Cup of Nations, and heard the announcer say "…….the air disaster that claimed all the lives of the team, and many people on the ground in 1993….".
It set me thinking why I knew about the long ago Munich air crash that devastated the footballing fraternity, yet not the more recent Zambian one. But given the bias against non-western happenings, it could have been under reported in Europe at the time.
There've been positive changes in the last decade, but two examples I've often written about illustrate the issue.
Early in l994, the world was bombarded with news about US teenager Michael Fay, sentenced to six lashes for vandalism in Singapore. Standard punishment, and only globally newsworthy because the cane was to be delivered on an American backside!. President Clinton intervened to stop it, and the sentence was reduced to four.
At the time of this comic over protection of a US citizen, Tanzanian officials failed to safe- guard one of their own.
Sailor Elias Lwekamwa, accused of drug offences in a foreign language, and without legal assistance, received little help from his country's embassy in Egypt. A late clemency appeal from President Mwinyi failed, and proclaiming his innocence to the end in a letter to his mother, Elias was executed in Cairo on April l4th l994. Few cared about this sad case, which received little or no coverage in the wider press.
Third world citizens can be victimised twice over.
Victims of their government's inability or negligence in protecting them, and victims of the international media in ignoring the results.
Three years later on May 21st l996, the MV Bukoba passenger ferry sank, killing over 800 people on Lake Victoria, many of whom drowned or suffocated in their cabins.
Yet the worst maritime accident in Tanzanian history, went almost unreported outside the country, and in London at the time, I knew nothing about it.
This horrific catastrophe, the failed rescue attempts, and the massive death toll, made the Bukoba disaster every bit as dramatic (or more so) in 'story terms', as the recent cruise ship sinking off the Italian coast, which received world wide coverage.
….it also had a bonus the Bukoba lacked…. a much mentioned 'villain', the ships discredited Italian captain, who held the publics interest. In today's world, even bad news needs entertainment value, particularly if it comes from Africa!
However, in Britain last September, and sixteen years after the Lake Victoria tragedy went unheralded there…. this time, I learnt the news of the Zanzibar ferry disaster from the local newspapers, sparsely reported. ……but progress of a kind I suppose!.
Lord Palmerston, a century past Prime Minister said, " A British subject in whatever land he may be in, should feel confident that the watchful eye, and the strong arm of England will protect him against injustice and wrong."
………protecting your own…a laudable sentiment albeit with a narrow remit!
But if the care remit for Tanzanians outside the country has been minimal, it's 'maximised minimal' inside!. And compromised daily, hourly, by a system where safety standards exist in print but barely in practice.
Unsafe buses, overflowing sewers, goods traded on railway lines and electrical transformers, sub-standard building construction, dala dalas STILL refuelling whilst crammed with people……etc. an endless list of hazards……and given the history of rampant negligence in the Zanzibar shipping sector, the MV Spice Islander disaster was almost a forgone conclusion.
…..and let's stop using the word 'accident' in passenger and maritime transport. Surely an 'accident', is an unavoidable happening, but much of the human carnage occurring here is AVOIDABLE, with genuine political will, and ceasing to regard disasters as 'acts of God'.
If you saw a press headline proclaiming "Air lines advised to employ qualified pilots", would you ever willingly board another aeroplane? Probably not.
…..but on my notice board is a newspaper cutting bearing the message, "passenger bus owners told to employ qualified drivers", a frequently touted idiocy in Tanzania.
It's a shocking suggestion, because of course it shouldn't be a suggestion, but a l00 %, NUMBER ONE CONDITIONALITY OF BEING A BUS OWNER! But with other crucial and over due legislation in transport to be enacted, (Zanzibar shipping coming under the Union mandate) when will Bongolands Bunge wallahs do so!
The care remit is even smaller when it comes to citizens comfort as opposed to safety.
For example government cars, a major capital outlay from the public purse, should be well looked after, but when did the trend start for expensive luxury parking canopies?.......while the human capital doesn't warrant similar consideration!.
………remember the crowds sitting in the hot sun for days waiting for trains at the railway station?
……Anyway, now we don't have trains…..perhaps the stations a luxury hotel….or been demolished under 'urban re-development'?!....

"Gangs are increasingly conducting criminal activity across the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders," according to the "Strategic Findings" on gangs in the National Drug Threat Assessment 2009, released in December 2008 by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The report's sections on gangs and drug trafficking organizations are important reading. Together they provide more confirmation that — in the eyes of law enforcement agencies throughout North America — "street gangs" are no longer gritty neighborhood affiliations of marginalized youngsters. They have morphed into deeply rooted criminal organizations with strong ties to transnational organized crime. In the case of Latino street gangs, this means in particular the Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs) that control most of the wholesale drug trafficking in North America.
The Mexican DTOs have pushed aside the old Colombian cartel apparatus in the United States, which still exists but is much less important than in the Miami Vice era of the 1980s. According to the 2009 Threat Assessment, "Mexican DTOs are the greatest drug trafficking threat to the United States; they control most of the U.S. drug market and have established varied transportation routes, advanced communications capabilities, and strong affiliations with gangs in the United States." This is, of course, why the war going on in Mexico today is so important to the United States.
Law enforcement officials have a range of opinions about how integrated Latino street gangs have become with the DTOs. But virtually all informed officials agree that, at a minimum, street gangs are the primary retail outlets for drugs and serve as important auxiliaries to the core DTOs (which are themselves somewhat fluid). This is one of the themes I developed in my forthcoming book No Boundaries: Transnational Latino Gangs and American Law Enforcement (University of Michigan Press, 2009). [And, yes, that was yet another shameless plug.] The DTOs love the gangs because they are already in place and know the U.S. system.
An ominous development noted in the Threat Assessment: "Gangs are also increasing their involvement in wholesale-level drug distribution." This cannot be good. Think of "mom and pop" stores displaced by one of the big "box store" chains. As gangs move into wholesale trade, the illegal drug distribution structure becomes more integrated, more efficient, more profitable, more able to corrupt government officials, and more capable of reaching out violently anywhere on the continent to enforce rules, payback intramural offenders, and claim more territory. These results will in turn put more stresses on state and local law enforcement organizations.
Naturally, international borders are key points at which the criminal synapses connect. Here is how the Threat Assessment summarizes the gangs' cross-border roles:
Gangs are increasingly conducting criminal activity across the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders. Gangs smuggle drugs, firearms, and aliens across the U.S.-Mexico and U.S.-Canada borders. Most gang-related criminal activity along the U.S.-Mexico border occurs in South Texas and California. Several regional- and national-level gangs operate in the Del Rio/Eagle Pass, Laredo, and Lower Rio Grande Valley areas of South Texas. Street and prison gangs such as Mexikanemi (Texas Mexican Mafia), Tri-City Bombers, Hermanos de Pistoleros Latinos, and Texas Syndicate transport and distribute illicit drugs throughout the South Texas area. Some of these gangs have established associate gangs or chapters in border cities in Mexico, according to law enforcement reporting. A number of gangs based in San Diego and Los Angeles also conduct cross-border smuggling operations. Street and prison gangs such as Sureños 13, 18th Street, and Mexican Mafia (La Eme) maintain significant influence over most of the local suburban and rural gangs in San Diego and Los Angeles. These gangs work very closely with Mexican DTOs located in Tijuana, Mexico, to smuggle drugs and illegal aliens into the United States.
It's worth noting that although the United States complains about drugs pouring in, it is the "narco-state" of firearms. The Wild West U.S. civilian gun market fuels the war in Mexico and is the source of virtually all of the handguns used in crime in Canada. You're doing a hell of a job on the rest of the world, NRA!
The Canadian case is instructive. According to the report, "Gangs pose a growing problem for law enforcement along the U.S.-Canada border, particularly the border areas in the New England and Pacific Regions." News reports confirm this "growing problem" (as did the report of a Canadian government official at an international anti-gang conference, sponsored by the FBI and the Salvadoran National Civil Police, I attended in El Salvador two years ago as an observer). For example, the Canadian new service, Canwest, reported on May 23, 2008 about this MS-13 presence:
Admitted Salvadoran killer Jose Cardoza Quinteros, of the notorious Mara Salvatrucha gang, was deported this week by the Canada Border Services Agency after initially being granted refugee status by the Immigration and Refugee Board. Cardoza Quinteros, who admitted when he arrived in Canada to committing four murders and throwing grenades into crowds of rivals, had argued he could face harm if sent to El Salvador. Canwest News Service has learned he was removed to the U.S., and not to his native country.
Similarly, in June of last year, the news agency AFP reported:
Toronto police dismantled the Canadian operations of a violent gang with Central American roots by arresting 17 local members, authorities said Thursday. "We are confident, with the conclusion of this investigation, that we have identified individuals who were responsible for establishing an MS-13 clique here in Toronto," police chief William Blair told a press conference.
The Toronto police claim to have "dismantled" MS-13 reminds me of similar claims made by the Los Angeles Police Department in the late 1980s after about the same number were rounded up and deported. It didn't happen then, and I doubt that it has happened in Canada.
God bless the cops, but this problem is not going to go away unless "Change" is made — big time — in how the U.S., Mexico, and Canada confront the DTOs and the gangs.
"Tom Diaz has worn out some shoe leather—much like a good detective—in gathering facts, not myths or urban legend. "
—Chris Swecker, Former Assistant Director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
"Few people know more about the subject than Tom Diaz and no single book tells the whole story better than No Boundaries. If you really want to know what organized crime in America looks like today, then read this alarming book."
—Rocky Delgadillo, former City Attorney of Los Angeles

After weeks of heated discussions around the linking of state liquor sales, hospital Medicaid debt and state borrowing, the LePage administration and Democratic leaders appear to be moderating their positions. Democrats have moved on the repayment of nearly a half-billion dollars into an amended liquor contract bill, while LePage is now indicating he may not oppose some expansion of Medicaid to provide health care to more Mainers. As A.J. Higgins reports, the negotiations played out today during a public hearing on competing bills.
Gov. Paul LePage touts his hospital debt repayment plan today before a legislative committee.
Although they disagree on many aspects of state policy, Democratic leaders and Republican Gov. Paul LePage are now of one mind when it comes to the need to pay off the state's $484 million Medicaid debt to Maine's hospitals.
Although Democrats formerly wanted to separate linkage to a new 10-year-contract for state liquor sales and hospital debt, they now agree that liquor revenues must be part of the solution.
"The contract that was signed 10 years ago is abomination to the state, it is a tragedy to the state. We left too much money on the table," LePage said at an appearance before the Legislature's Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee.
LePage came to make the case for his bill that spells out how the state should proceed once the existing liquor contract expires next year. LePage wants to dedicate the profits from liquor sales to pay back a revenue bond that would be used to repay the state's $186 million share of the Medicaid debt owed to Maine hospitals. Federal matching funds would then be released to the hospitals to make them whole.
LePage says the state holds all the cards as it begins the new bidding process.
"I believe that we need to put an RFP out that puts a lot more money into the coffers of the state and less money out in the private sector," LePage said, "because the private sector on this particular contract - I looked at this contract as a fire sale. And frankly, you never called Mardens."
But Democratic Senate Majority Leader Seth Goodall has his own bill that would also use liquor earnings to pay the hospitals back. It differs from LePage's in two fundamental ways: First, LePage leaves open the option of the state exerting greater control of the liquor distribution and marketing process, Goodall's bill would require the state to contract with a private entity.
And Goodall says his bill would not require the state to borrow money, but it demands an upfront payment from the successful bidder to facilitate the hospital repayment.
"My amendment allows the bidder to choose between an initial payment of either $200 million to be paid no later than June 30th, 2014, or payments totalling $200 million to be paid no later than June 30, 2015, with $100 million dollars being paid before June 30th, 2014," Goodall said.
Supporters of both proposals spent most of the day sharing their concerns with the legislative panel. Jim Mitchell, a lobbyist representing Maine Beverage, which holds the current liquor contract, says the biggest problem with the governor's plan is the complicated fee-for-service arrangement.
"Those fee for service contracts to align incentives appropriately in order for the business to perform will not be simple," Mitchell said. "They ignore instead the central advantage of what drives economic efficiency: the profit motive."
John Menario is a former Portland mayor and a co-owner in the All Maine Spirits group that wants to bid on the Maine liquor contract. He says Goodall's proposal, which seeks a massive $200 million upfront payment, presents its own problems.
"Any time you put money up front, it's not a gift," Menario said. "The people who put it up expect it back, and they expect it back with interest. And quite honestly, it would be a sad day if this state makes the same mistake that they made eight years ago."
Sen. John Tuttle, of Sanford, the Senate committee chair on the panel, says the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee might take elements from both bills and craft its own proposal.

A former police lieutenant has been charged with rape and other sex crimes after the SBI investigated allegations against the officer.
Lt. Andres Snape, Jr. was arrested Wednesday by SBI agents. He was charged in Hertford County with seven counts each of statutory rape, indecent liberties with a child and statutory sexual offenses.
Ahoskie Police Chief Troy Fitzhugh says he contacted the SBI when he received the original complaint. Lt. Snape was placed on administrative leave with pay and the chief says less than two weeks later the SBI had completed its investigation and Snape was fired from his job.
The SBI says the victim was between 13 and 15 years old.
Town Manager Tony Hammond says Snape was a police officer for nine years. Hammond says Snape was promoted to the rank of lieutenant within the past six months and was fired Wednesday, the same day he was arrested.
Snape's bond was set at $1,000,000 and his first appearance is Friday in Hertford County.

Sweden is showing it means business with its current presidency of the EU and raising hopes among European pharmaceutical executives of some effective action between now and December. Health had already been allocated a prominent place on Sweden's agenda when it took over the rotating six-month presidency of the EU at the start of July.
But hopes have risen further with the news that Diana DeGette has been attracted to address the Swedish-American Life Science Summit (SALSS) in Stockholm in August.
DeGette, Democrat Representative for Colorado, US, is a top Obama advisor on healthcare reform, with a strongly pro-technology profile. Notably, she was co-sponsor of the pioneering Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act in 2007 the legislation twice vetoed by George Bush and author of Sex, Science, and Stem Cells: Inside the Right Wing Assault on Reason, a no-holds-barred expose of the how right-wing America has politicised sex, science and reproductive health.
She will be setting the tone for a meeting featuring other big names in life sciences bidding for a sharper, more business-oriented approach to healthcare, including Dr Anders Ekblom, executive vice president, AstraZeneca, Dr Mikael Dolsten, president, Biotechnology R&D, Pfizer-Wyeth, and Dr Paul Bolno, vice president, GlaxoSmithKline.
The organisers have declared that, coinciding with the new US President's determination to push for profound reform in healthcare provision in the world's largest economy, the meeting aims to catalyse radical thinking on what will make for better provision and better business worldwide.
Barbro Ehnbom, who is chairing the conference and whose background goes back as far as Smith Kline and American Home Products sees a watershed moment: "The healthcare world has changed. The rules have changed," she says. "Although the US continues to be at the centre of the life sciences economy, many of the previous tenets we took for granted have changed The focus is not simply on how we finance innovation and drug development but also on how we reach the market." She champions technology as "a vital driver."
Sweden is having to pilot the EU through what are arguably the most difficult six months the Union has faced since it came into existence. Against the background of the economic and financial crisis, and in the face of the tough choices that will have to be made before the world summit on climate change in Copenhagen in December, the EU is drifting without agreement on its constitution or on who should lead it over the next five years.
Despite that, the Swedish government is working hard to secure EU-level agreements on how to fight counterfeit drugs, how to improve patent protection, and how to sharpen boost research policy including on preventive measures against pandemics, and on tackling the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. The life sciences discussions in August should impart some valuable momentum to its efforts.
