And at the same time everyone that is shown seems not to have forgotten how to live. There is not one scene where you would not trade a lot to switch places with Anthony Bourdain and "thank you for these 40 minutes of joy" is all you can say.

UT historian Daina Ramey Berry, an expert on 19th century American slave culture, recently served as a historical consultant and technical adviser for A&E HISTORY's re-imagining of Roots. She traveled to New Orleans to work on the show's set, arriving at 4 a.m. each day. Then she worked 12-15 hour days, and in her scant free time she finalized spring semester grades for her UT students.
Berry says arriving on set at the same time enslaved people would be going to the fields was a powerful experience, one she wishes she could bring to her students on the Forty Acres.
Since airing in May, Roots has been nominated for seven Emmy awards. Berry spoke with the Alcalde about her experiences working with the cast and crew, how she met Australian film director Phillip Noyce, and the cultural significance of rebooting the beloved 1977 miniseries.
Alcalde: What is your research primarily focused on?
Daina Berry: Most of my research is on the history of slavery in the United States. In particular, I do work on gender slavery and the history of slavery in capitalism. I just finished a book on how enslaved people were priced, how they were auctioned off and sold, and how enslaved people responded to being treated as a commodity.
How does your research connect with the work you did with Roots?
My work connects directly because I've done more than 20 years of teaching and 10-15 years of research. I've written books, articles, and encyclopedias on the issue of slavery and Roots wanted me to come and make sure that what they were doing on set and in the script was historically accurate.
So how did you get involved with Roots?
I believe it was a total blessing. I was contacted by their public relations person, and they were familiar with me because of my encyclopedia, Enslaved Women in America. They asked me if I was willing to serve on the technical side of the show. So, while I was working on the show, I read drafts of the script, spoke with whomever had questions about anything related to slavery, and they invited me come work on set when they were filming the slavery scenes. That was really helpful because there were small nuances where I could say, "This really would not have been accurate."
Did you work directly with any of the cast members?
Definitely. I worked with Malachi Kirby, who played Kunta Kinte, all the cast members who were there the days they filmed the whipping and plantation scenes, and I also worked with some of the extras. There were also some children there on set. Luckily, they were there with their parents, but the kids were trying to understand slavery and the history of slavery.
The director I worked with was Phillip Noyce and he was great. He was very intense, but in a good way. When I got to set the first day, he wanted me to sit in the director's tent right next to him.
What was your favorite part about working on Roots?
It was a phenomenal team. I was extremely impressed with everybody involved in this production and that they really wanted to get this story right. I enjoyed working with Roots because everybody there really appreciated history, and that to me is priceless.
Was there anything that surprised you?
I was really taken aback by the whipping. I have never heard—in real life—the sound of a whip and have never been literally right next to someone being whipped. The first night I was there, one of the actors who had to use the whip was practicing. You could feel the power in the whip just by the sound of it, and it sent chills down my spine. I could not help by think about all the backs that sound landed on for over 200 years.
From a cultural standpoint, why do you think it's important for Roots to be shown again?
The original Roots first aired in 1977, and the scholarship of slavery and the history since then has exploded. Since then, there have been hundreds and thousands of books that have been published on slavery so we know way more about the institution of slavery and the cultural lives about enslaved people and their owners. The crew that I worked with wanted to tell a version of Roots in 2016 that incorporated all this new research. They could have easily upgraded the show to make it look a bit more modern, but they put in such a great amount of work into each detail, which allowed us to have a current version of what enslavement was like for some years and years ago. To me, that is a huge contribution to our understanding of race and culture in America.

At least one Longhorn will represent Team USA at the Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, this September. Wheelchair rugby athlete Jeff Butler, BBA '14, Life Member, will compete on the same court occupied by basketball Olympian Kevin Durant, '07, two weeks earlier. He spoke with the Alcalde about wheelchair rugby, why you shouldn't call him an inspiration, and shifting perceptions of Paralympic sports.
How long have you been playing wheelchair rugby?
I started when I was 15, and I'm 26, so about 11 years. The reason I moved down to Texas, actually, and attended UT was to play for the club team in Austin. The head coach there, James Gumbert, is also the head coach of Team USA. I came with the intent of, if you want to be the best, you have to learn from the best, and it catapulted my career.
It sounds like you were ambitious pretty early on.
This has been a goal of mine for almost the last 10 years. I tried out four or five times before making the team. It's all kind of a whirlwind, and I can't believe it's finally happening.
What does it take to be a great wheelchair rugby player?
You have to be physically fit and in shape, just like any other sport. It's also important to have a mind for the game. It's kind of like a chess match, with all the strategy involved.
You also have to be a little bit brave and a little bit stupid, because it's a full-contact sport in wheelchairs. I love the physicality of the game. It's the only full-contact Paralympic sport, and I love that it is so contrary to what people think of when they think of people with disabilities. There's nothing like wheelchairs crashing into each other at full speed.
What do you do when you're not playing?
I have a full-time job, which is a downer. I wish I didn't have to have one, but that's how the world works. You can't be a professional wheelchair rugby player. I work at a software development company full-time when I'm not playing, so I have a pretty full docket. I go to work, come home, train, eat, sleep, repeat. And we have camps about once a month for Team USA, so I travel a lot for those.
What's the most common misconception about wheelchair rugby?
Probably the biggest one is that people think it's similar to able-bodied rugby. We borrowed the name rugby because of the physicality of the sport and the craziness people associate with rugby, but other than that we don't share much with rugby. I describe it as a mix of basketball, football, and hockey, but played with a volleyball, and with full contact.
As a disabled athlete, what are you tired of hearing?
I don't want to be inspiration porn. We'll be flying back from a tournament, and the pilot will talk to us afterward and be like, 'You guys are so inspirational getting out there!' Just because I'm a guy in a wheelchair who left my house today doesn't make me inspirational.
Also, when I'm interviewed for something, nine times out of 10 it shows up in the lifestyle section rather than the sports section.
Do you think perceptions are changing?
The enhanced coverage of the Paralympics this year is going to help. For the first time, NBC is going to air 60 hours of Paralympic coverage. There were only two hours from London [at the 2012 Paralympics].
Team USA had a tournament last year in London that was aired live on British TV. A guy came up to us in the airport and said, 'How'd the final go? Did you beat Canada?' And we were like, wow, this is an actual fan! We were miniature celebrities in London. Then it was time to go back home, where everyone thinks we're in the Special Olympics. So there is a lot of progress still to be made.

The mystery began earlier this year at a pizza joint in Dripping Springs, just off of Route 290.
It was April 27 and John Bernardoni, BA '71, a lively man with gray hair and a little emerald stud in his left ear, sat at a table. He was enjoying lunch with his two friends, Lucy Hibberd, BA '63, the daughter of a well-known Austin philanthropist named Roberta Crenshaw, BA '36, and a native Austinite named James Powell, who has long run a small antique shop downtown.
The conversation had been of little note, when Powell mentioned something that would send Bernardoni down a rabbit hole more than 100 years old.
"Have you heard of this missing statue called the 'Victims of the Galveston Flood?'" Powell asked, referring to a 10-foot-tall sculpture of a woman cradling a dying infant in the midst of a storm as a young girl clings tightly to her waist. "Nobody seems to know where it is."
Though he's talkative, Powell says in a sleepy Southern drawl that he's spent most of his life hoping to find the plaster of Paris statue meant to honor the thousands who died in the Galveston Storm of 1900. The statue was donated to UT, along with 23 others, in 1914 by famous Texas sculptor Pompeo Coppini—the man better known for creating Littlefield Fountain and UT's controversial monument of Jefferson Davis.
With a tinge of nostalgia, Powell explains that the three figures in the statue are modeled after his great aunts and first cousin once removed, who were friends with Coppini during his time in San Antonio. The way he swiftly pulls out Coppini's 1948 autobiography From Dawn Til Sunset to read me a passage makes it seem like he always keeps the book on hand.
But in 1920, all 24 statues went missing from UT records.
"It's a mystery," Powell says, adding that every time he meets someone with a UT connection, he asks if they know about the missing art. "I've nearly given up, though I continue to be curious. It would be marvelous if any of that gift from Coppini came to life again."
So when Powell mentioned the "Victims" statue to Bernardoni, it was a shot in the dark. He never foresaw his lunchtime companion making the search his own personal mission.
"Every bell in my head went off," Bernardoni says. Though he had never heard of Coppini before his lunch with Powell, he too felt personally connected to the sculptor and the statue—not only did his family emigrate from Italy in the late 1870s, but his great-grandfather had died in the Galveston storm.
After lunch that day, Bernardoni returned to his office, where he runs a booking and production company. He immediately got to work and made the first call in his quest for the missing statues, which he likens to that of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
"I don't want to get supernatural here, but why in God's name, out of the blue, would [Powell] start talking about this?" he says. "That doesn't just happen by accident. I have to do my best—there's no other way."
By the time we meet, about six weeks have passed since Bernardoni's investigation began. He's a man who welcomes seemingly improbable tasks, having led the restoration of the Paramount Theatre in the '70s when he was still a student. He's contacted nearly 70 people and organizations, slowly making way through the resources he's gathered in his 47 years in Austin. For every "no" and unanswered call, Bernardoni says he gets just a little more committed. "That's just who I am," he says. "I get tenacious when I'm passionate, and I'm very passionate about this."
And if Bernardoni knew nothing of Coppini before, that's far from true now. He hired proxy researcher Ralph Elder, BA '71, MLS '74, former assistant director of the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, who quickly became the brain to Bernardoni's brawn. Bernardoni tells me Elder's a "brilliant researcher," the kind who can dig through three times the number of files as anyone else in half the time and has a knack for deciphering century-old handwriting.
All the duo had to start with was a timeline created in 1998 by the only other person to have studied the case of the missing statues: former Galveston Rosenberg Library archivist Shelly Kelly. Together, Bernardoni and Elder have sifted through articles, documents, books, and letters from all around Texas. They're trying to make sense of the events surrounding the loss of the "Victims" statue—which Coppini wrote in his autobiography was "the only one I regret to have been lost."
Coppini was born in a small village in northern Italy in 1870. In a Texas Monthly article from 1984, author Stephen Harrigan, BA '70, wrote that Coppini "had come into the world sprinkled with pixie dust," crafting small ceramics by the time he was 10. He moved to the U.S. in 1896, where he wound up working in New York. But when he couldn't find success, he took a job in Texas creating a nine-foot statue of Jefferson Davis as part of a Confederate memorial at the Capitol. "Though I am Italian born, I am American reborn," he once told the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
Coppini began cultivating an impressive reputation as a sculptor throughout Texas. When Galveston was hit with a deadly storm that killed more than 6,000 people, city leaders asked him to build a commemoration in the victims' memory. But, Bernardoni says, when Coppini presented his original sketch for the "Victims" statue, the leaders found it "excruciatingly painful" and ultimately opted out of the commission. Instead of abandoning the project, Coppini felt compelled to move forward. He redesigned and constructed the statue and entered it for exhibition at the St. Louis World Fair in 1904—but once again, the statue missed its chance of national renown.
Some strange twist of fate had resulted in the statue's crate being labeled as fruit, and it sat unopened. By the time fair organizers noticed, it was too late to exhibit the statue in the main showcase, and it was relegated to a building that featured works solely from Texas. The statue had only been shown once before, when Coppini held a viewing at his home in San Antonio, inviting flood survivors and families of those who drowned.
Then in Feb. 14, 1914, when Coppini was clearing out his studio to move to Chicago, he wrote a letter to the former chairman of the UT Board of Regents, Major George W. Littlefield, stating he wanted to donate the "Victims" statue and 23 more of his own works to the university. "Of course it may be that I will be asked to donate them to some Eastern Museum, later on," he wrote. "But as I feel Texas to be my own State, you shall always have the first opportunity."
Just as World War I began brewing, so did the complicated residency of Coppini's statues on campus. At the time of his donation, UT campus was significantly smaller than the 400 acres it is today. There was no place to put the heroic statues and busts, so then-UT president Sidney Mezes had them stored in what was then the chemistry building for a short time before allocating them to the basement of Old Main. That's where students from Longhorn Magazine found them still sitting in 1918 and demanded they be put on display.
"He has given the University a princely gift," their article reads. "It must be admitted that we accorded it but a beggarly reception." But the students' call to action did little, and the statues weren't displayed until Christmastime in 1919.
The 1920 edition of the Cactus yearbook ran a four-page feature on Coppini's gifts, noting that the "Victims" statue was on display in the education building (now known as Sutton Hall) during the holidays. But that's where the trail runs cold save for one clipping from the Austin American-Statesman that briefly mentions someone possibly spotting 10 Coppini sculptures on the third floor of Old Main in 1928.
"To date we've just found all these teases that 'yes, indeed they were here,'" Elder says. "But basically we've come up with no smoking gun as to what ultimately became of the 'Victims' cast."
How could 24 large statues just go missing with no one taking notice? And what did Coppini have to say about all this?
In 1920, Coppini was busy making plans for the Littlefield Fountain. By the time the monument was dedicated more than a decade later, Littlefield had died and Coppini battled the university over costs and unapproved redesigns of his vision, leaving more than just a sour note in Coppini's relationship with UT.
Elder says any mention of the missing statues doesn't appear again until 1943, when Waldine Tauch, Coppini's protege, penned a letter to former UT President Homer Rainey, asking, "Did you find it yet?" But no answer has been found in the files, and as far as Bernardoni and Elder can tell, Coppini died in 1957, never knowing where his statues had gone.
"Then you start the supposition work," Elder says. The duo determined five possibilities as to what could have happened. One: The statues could have been consumed in a fire in the chemistry building in 1927, though that wouldn't explain the Statesman article or why Coppini was never given an answer.
Another idea is that they could have been sent to another institution or city. But considering the number of places Bernardoni has contacted, including Baylor University and places in Galveston, it doesn't seem likely.
The third theory is they could be spread around the state, sitting in someone's backyard. "Don't laugh," Bernardoni says. It's happened before that lost items wound up in unusual places, like the nearly 100 brains that went missing for 20 years in the back of a UT closet.
One of the more probable, and more devastating, possibilities is that the statues were treated carelessly and were simply destroyed after being moved from location to location. Ultimately, they may have been discarded. In a scribbled down memo from 1955, Coppini's friend and longtime director of UT's physical plant Carl Eckhardt mentions that "the university had not properly preserved the donations of these works."
The fifth theory—Bernardoni's most hopeful—is that they're sitting in their crates in a dark corner of a storage room at the J. J. Pickle Research Center. When Old Main was torn down in the '30s, its bricks were individually wrapped and taken to be stored at the center when it was still a magnesium plant. Bernardoni believes the statues could have been shipped there with the bricks and were just forgotten about. He's working toward searching the facilities, though there are more than 100 buildings. To top it off, each one is individually managed, meaning he'd have to go through numerous people to take a look inside each one.
Bernardoni hopes that if someone, somewhere has even the slightest bit of information about Coppini's work that they will contact him. If too much time passes and Bernardoni's investigation remains unsolved, he intends to get the "Victims" sculpture remade, this time in bronze or even marble, and find it a home in Galveston.
"I know this happened a long time ago," Bernardoni says. "But this was a real famous sculptor who gave his heart and his love of Texas. We may never know what happened. But that man deserves an answer."
And so for now, the great Coppini caper continues.

When USA Basketball won gold this weekend in the 2016 FIBA Americas U18 championship against Canada, UT's Shaka Smart—also the newly named head coach of the U18 USA team—had a little extra incentive. Two of his incoming freshmen, James Banks and Jarrett Allen (who is No. 15 on ESPN's Top 100), joined the second-year Longhorn men's coach in Chile as Texas went undefeated, capping off the tournament with a 99-84 win over Canada.
But the Fro Bros—as they've come to call themselves—are the first members of a Smart-led college team to play for him on the national level. When Smart was still head coach at VCU, he assisted on staff at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 and the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championships. He says getting early in-game looks at players who look to be immediate contributors to his Longhorn team were beneficial.
"We never had any of our guys ever try out for the team, let alone make the team," Smart said at a press conference on Tuesday morning. "We got a chance to know each other off the court as well as on the court. How do they like to interact with teammates? With officials?"
Smart said that Banks and Allen immediately bonded, and that despite their different personalities, they have a high level of respect for each other. Allen led the team with 119 total minutes played during the five-game tournament, including 33 in the final. The homegrown power forward from St. Stephens Episcopal in Austin averaged 10.6 points and 9 rebounds.
As for Banks, his minutes were limited, and he didn't get into Saturday's championship game. When asked, Smart praised Banks' development this summer.
"He did a phenomenal job carving out a niche that showed he was different," Smart said. "I think it's a great development step for him."
Smart also acknowledged that being around some of the best high school basketball players in the country can be a boon to recruiting, but it also comes with a potential downside.
"It's actually in some ways a negative, because if guys get cut they blame you. If guys don't play as much, they blame you," Smart said. "The benefit is you're around guys that you're typically not given the chance to be around."
Smart was also asked if he was relieved to stay planted on American soil this November. In Smart's inaugural season at Texas, the Longhorns began the season against Washington in Shanghai, China. Then came one home game before three straight in the Bahamas during the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. To start the 2016-17 season, the Longhorns' schedule includes a slate of three in a row at the Frank Erwin Center.
"I just went out of the country, so I'm good for a while," Smart said, smiling. "I'm really excited about being able to start in a more traditional way."
Between this week and August 12, however, the entire Longhorn team will be together every day. Smack in the middle of summer session, Smart says the team will "just work," except for, for example, when recently he took the entire team bowling.
"Andrew had the best score out of anyone," Smart said. "James [Banks] is the worst. He's got such long arms—like a 7'5″ wingspan—and he would let go of the ball too early so it would slam into the floor. I was worried he was going to break the floor."]]>
A few months ago, a column I wrote addressed the long, hard road former Texas kicker Nick Rose had as a Longhorn. Despite his woes, Rose, BA '16, would have been welcomed back with open arms when, midway through the summer, coach Charlie Strong admitted he still didn't have a kicker with whom he was comfortable trotting out against Notre Dame on September 4. On Sunday afternoon, former LSU kicker and 2015 Lou Groza Award semifinalist Trent Domingue signed a financial aid agreement with Texas.
Already a member of the preseason watch list for the 2016 Lou Groza Award, given to the nation's top kicker, Domingue is a graduate transfer who earned a business degree this spring from LSU. A former walk-on, he spent 2015 as the Tigers' full-time kicker, after taking the reins with two games left in the 2014 season. He went 13-17 on field goals last year, including 10 straight at one point. He made 42 consecutive extra points and went 49-50 on the season for a career total of 55-56. He split kickoff duty last year. His 32 kickoffs averaged 58.4 yards, with seven touchbacks.
"We're obviously thrilled that Trent decided to join our program," Strong said in a statement. "What a great addition in a critical position of need for us. Trent's an experienced and proven kicker who has had a great deal of success at the highest level and competed in pressure situations."
The Tigers were 9-3 in 2015. On October 17, against the Florida Gators, Domingue took a fake field goal 16 yards for what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown. On December 29, he was a perfect 8-8 on extra points as LSU demolished Texas Tech in the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl.
Domingue—pronounced "doh-MAIN"—says that former LSU and current Texas defensive line coach Brick Haley's presence sparked his interest in the Longhorns. He will study advertising at UT.
"I've always known that Texas has been a pretty storied program, both academically and athletically," Domingue said. "I'm really excited to get there and start training and getting to know everyone. Coach Strong is great and seems like a player's coach. I think it will be an awesome time playing for him."

Standing 10-by-25 feet tall, the white honeycomb structure sits at the northwest corner of Goldsmith Hall, facing Guadalupe Street. Covered with native plants and animals—including striking wildflowers, hummingbirds, lizards, and shrubs—this environmentally friendly living wall draws some curious onlookers.
This living wall serves to explore the role of architecture in ecology. According to project leaders Fritz Steiner, former dean of the School of Architecture, and assistant professor Danelle Briscoe, it took five years of research and planning. The two also collaborated with Patricia Clubb, the vice president for the University Operations office that funded most of the project; Mark Simmons, who was the director of the Ecosystem Design Group at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center before he died from leukemia in August 2015; and Michelle Bright, an environmental designer at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildlife Center.
The living wall was Steiner's last major project as UT's dean. Following the implementation of the new campus carry law, which will go into effect on August 1, he resigned and took over as dean for the University of Pennsylvania School of Design.
"I loved seeing the enthusiasm everyone had about the project," Steiner says. "The most gratifying thing about the wall now that it's done is seeing people react to it. It's wonderful to see people stop and ask questions—this proves the wall is both attractive and intriguing."
Besides the wall's striking looks, it also cools the building, reduces noise, captures water, and serves as an ecological incubator. The wall is equipped with instruments that monitor how much water it uses, how much heat it absorbs, and, as an added bonus, how many people stop to admire it.
Briscoe developed the honeycomb structure to ensure the plants had the best chance of survival. According to Steiner, the researchers chose native plants that could both adapt to the summer Austin heat and are good for specific kinds of animals. The wall's 148 soil containers were designed to accommodate a greater amount of dirt than is typically used, which is critical to sustaining the plants in Austin's climate.
"Oftentimes, architects use pattern merely as decoration, but this pattern actually holds a lot of meaning and functionality," Briscoe says. "We are hopeful and have gone to great measures to develop a system that can stand up to this environment."
The project is also designed to educate onlookers and spark curiosity about ecology and design.
"I hope that from visiting and seeing the wall, students can see alternative approaches to building smarter in the future," Briscoe says.
Steiner adds: "I hope it inspires students to think about the possibility of built environments for living systems like this."
As for what's next, Briscoe says the heat isn't stopping her from going forward. She says she's been approached by "several interested parties" who want to design and produce similar walls in locations all over the U.S. Steiner adds that he wants to adapt the wall for his new hometown of Philadelphia as well.
However, the next one may be here on campus. Briscoe says her goal is to install another living wall by the Guadalupe Garage.
"My hope is that one day, the UT Guadalupe project will be realized and that other parking garages throughout Austin can serve as ecological infrastructure through this approach," she says.

The weeks leading up to a decision by NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho, BS '11, to host a panel at the University of Texas on race relations July 14 were weary ones. Just one week had passed since the fatal shooting of five Dallas police officers by a lone gunman at a demonstration meant to protest shootings by police just days earlier in Louisiana and Minnesota that resulted in the deaths of two black men. By then, Acho had decided enough was enough.
"It is time to address this matter more seriously," Acho said during the panel, which was live-streamed on Longhorn Network. "I want to start an open dialogue with those in power, those in authority, and between African-Americans."
Austin Police Department Chief Art Acevedo, the first Hispanic to lead APD, joined Acho along with five other panelists to talk about the current relationship between police officers and minority communities, both locally and nationally. Also in attendance were Carolina Panthers running back Fozzy Whittaker, BA '10, MA '12; Olympic gold medalist and track-and-field athlete Natasha Hastings; UT education professor Louis Harrison; APD chief of staff Brian Manley; and assistant chief Frank Dixon.
Acevedo, who has been with the police department since 2007, said improving the relationship between officers and the community is a work in progress—one that will likely never end. He said leaders of the police force need to engage their officers in holding each other accountable and treating people with respect.
"The number one thing we should not tolerate is mediocrity," Acevedo said. "We should not tolerate abuse, not tolerate treating anybody wrongly. We must pursue perfection at all costs."
Some of the panelists agreed that stereotypes play a large role in the ways that officers and the community interact. Harrison said people need to consciously step back from their immediate presumptions about others, noting that when strangers see him they may base their judgment of him solely on his skin color. Hastings said that when she travels she does her best to avoid drawing any attention to herself. And Dixon said, even though he's an officer, "when I'm not working, let's just say I don't get the best customer service."
"We've got to stop painting everybody with broad brushes," Acevedo said. "We as a nation have to come together."
Dixon said there are a number of ways APD tries to integrate officers with the community, like its Citizen Police Academy. The program runs for 14 weeks, aiming to give the public an understanding of how APD functions. During training, APD has a community-immersion requirement that sends cadets out to meet with citizens. Dixon said that way, the first time APD officers encounter an African-American or someone from the LGBT community isn't on the street after they're already fully vested officers.
"They come back with a really deep understanding and their eyes open," he said. "But that can't just be here in Austin. It needs to be across the nation."

Safaricom unveils cloud deployment
INTERNET| Oct. 29, 2011, 7:20 a.m.
Kenyan telecoms operator Safaricom has launched what it describes as the biggest indigenous public cloud solution in Africa, built at a cost of over USD20 million.
At a gala launch event in Nairobi, Safaricom CEO Bob Collymore announced that the new cloud service, delivered in partnership with Seven Seas Technologies, Cisco and EMC, would include data centre services with hosting, storage and backup.
The services will be targeted both at the public and private sector.
Enterprises will be able to pay monthly subscriptions for their SafaricomCLOUD services, with shared or dedicated servers.
EMC, through its security subsidiary RSA, will secure the service.
One of the first customers is likely to be the Kenyan government, which says its own data centres are running out of capacity.

Video Premiere: Robin Thicke's 'It's in the Mornin' Feat. Snoop Dogg
Robin Thicke is hooking up with Colombian model Manuela Arbelaez in a music video for his single "It's in the Mornin". Like the singer, his featured guest Snoop Dogg also has a sexy lady on top of him in a car.
The music video is directed by Gil Green and was filmed in Malibu. "It's about romance and love in the morning, you know," he told Idolator about the concept. "Obviously, it's gotta be love because if you're still there in the morning time, then it means you really like them. So it'll be romantic and sweet."
Produced by Teddy Riley, "It's in the Mornin" is taken from Robin Thicke's 2009 studio album "Sex Therapy: The Session". Other rappers contributing to the effort are Nicki Minaj, Kid Cudi and Jay-Z among others.

Students safety should extend around the campus
Staggering amounts of recent off-campus crimessurrounding Tulane and Loyola universities in New Orleans have left manystudents concerned about their safety.
According to theTimes-Picayune, a newspaper in New Orleans, seven murders occurred just in the four days
leading up to Jan. 28. Although murder rates in cities across the country are beginning to drop, New Orleans' rates are increasing.
According to the Times-Picayune, at least 14 Tulane students were robbed last semester, some atgunpoint. Two women, unaffiliated with the university, were raped just blocks from the school in early January. Many students walk through these areas to get to school, including Clare Austen-Smith, who said she fears walking home from class as early as 5:30 p.m.
In response to the crime,Austen-Smith helped organize the "It's Not Enough" campaign. The petition and video have caught the attention of Tulane President Scott Cowen, who says the school is increasing safety measures. Austen-Smith and other students should be commended for their attempts to improve campussafety.
According to the campaign's website, the dean of students at Tulane sent an email to students saying that more university police have been assigned to the areas around campus, and students can now call for police escorts if they do not feel safe. Students can also call "Safe Ride" and receive a free ride across campus.
Some students object to thepetition, including Jacob Tupper, who was robbed and pistol-whipped while walking just blocks from campus. Tupper said to theTimes-Picayune that the crime was one of "social opportunity" and said hismuggers are "seizing their opportunity of pretty easy targets: rich, white, drunk kids walking the streets."
Others, including Loyola Police Chief Patrick Bailey, believe that Tulane is "almost like an island in a city that is having a hard time with crime." Regardless of thesocioeconomic differences between the surrounding community and the students, campuses and the areas around them should remain a safe place.
The surrounding neighborhoods where students work and live could benefit from increased security. Not only would increasing lawenforcement benefit theexpanding New Orleans and its growing problems, but it would also make the students and faculty feel more secure.
Social programs should also be created in New Orleans to helpvictims of Hurricane Katrina and their families adjust. According to USA Today, the soaring crime rates may be connected to high dropout and unemployment rates among those displaced by Katrina.
While other cities may not face the unique challenges of New Orleans as the city recovers, the danger is too high for students and citizens alike. It is important that the city, colleges and lawenforcement work together to solve this problem.

Garden Grocer made our week away from home feel like we never left! I was very impressed with the timely service and prices were reasonable considering the service that they provide. Thanks so much and we will definitely be using Garden Grocer on our return visit to Disney World!!!
I am extremely happy with Garden Grocer! I used their food order and delivery system during a recent visit to Walt Disney World. Their ordering process was easy and their execution was perfect! I ordered breakfast items and this enabled our family to eat in our room as we got ready each morning. What a convenience! I plan to use them again when we return!
First time using Gardengrocer. After the original order was placed, I sent a special request for a flavored coffee cream. My special order was filled and I was notified within a few hours. I also added to my original order and the process was easy and accurate. All three of my orders were delivered at the same time as promised. This service is class A and should not be overlooked. I strongly recommed this service to anyone who wants groceries in thier room while on vacation. I would use the garden grocer again in a heartbeat! Thanks for providing such a wonderful service.

Individualism and Gender "Identity"23 Jul
You go girl. x
I'm working through some ideas here that really go against the grain of current beliefs (I use this word deliberately) about gender and sexual "identity".
I think it would be worse now than it was in the nineties growing up as female and particularly as a lesbian. I think that Neoliberalism, with it's bastardisation of feminism and the promotion of identity politics has made it worse.
There has been a cultural shift towards the primacy of the individual and rather than recognising and fighting against gender as being oppressive, we have just added more categories of self expression and called it "doing/queering gender." Look, we are all special little snowflakes with our own personalities and ways of expressing ourselves in the world. That isn't gender. Gender is hierarchical, gender is oppressive, gender is about hegemony, it is about class, it is not about clothes or how we feel. Let's critique…

Not My Name23 Jul
He offers to be paid to mow the lawn. I agree and he starts in. The police arrive. There is a long conversation about some previous issue.
Then his line trimmer breaks.
He assures me he will finish. I say that's all right, he's done enough for the forty bucks. Which he has.
He says he will finish it himself, because that's the kind of guy he is.
I finish it myself, the next week.
Then it rains. It rains a lot. About a month later, he mows all the grass without my permission.
I put up a No Trespassing sign on the fence, for a few days.
Months later, the neighbor asks me if I want some rocks. She is nice, I like her. Her son sits like a stone on the porch, as we arrange the rocks on my hand truck. They are nice rocks.
Recently, I am outside at night and the son is lying on the sidewalk by my fence, with a flashlight. He has lost a ball. He likes to hang out on the street in front of his mother's house. He has his own house here in town. I do not know why he spends so much time here.
He is playing with his mother's dogs on the street. His mother has half an acre of yard in the back with a six foot fence.
He tells me the ball is in my yard, that it was a bad bounce. The dog yaps furiously. I ask him to wait. He tells me that if my dogs are inside I could let his mother's dog in my yard and that dog could find the ball. My gate is locked, as usual. I live with only one dog, and have for almost a year.
I again ask him to wait, and I get my flashlight and my glasses and find the tennis ball and hand it to him.
"Mrs. O'Brien, you're the bomb!" he says.
That is not my name.
Lesbian FAQs8 Jul
Because I so often find myself answering the same questions over and over (both in real life and online), I decided I start a Lesbian FAQs list.
If you have anything else you'd like me to add in a future post, please just comment here (Note: only polite & serious comments will be published), or please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
So, without further ado, welcome to the Lesbian FAQ's:
Made with #PicsArt
FAQ #1: "Can any woman can be a lesbian?"
Answer: Nope. See Magical Thinking.
FAQ #2: "Which one of you (in a lesbian relationship) is the 'man one'?"
Answer: Neither. We are lesbians, therefore both women.
FAQ #3: "Are all lesbians either Butch or Femme?"
Answer: No. In fact, very few lesbians are either, although many incorrectly label themselves as such (particularly as Butch). See: Deciphering Butch/Femme

Leashed6 Jul
Back around 1990 you told me never to ask you for anything again, because you put me on one of your credit cards and I spent a thousand or two more than you had in mind. And then decades later you stole my guitar and gave it away, and never told me until I asked. There are other examples.
I don't know how to negotiate asking you for anything. The rules seem clear: never ask you for anything, and what's mine is yours. It's all yours, and you can take it away any time you want.
So. I have worked on learning to live without. This is my job. This is my art. The better I get at living without, the more likely I will survive the next surprise. The less I need, the less I can live with, the more I have.
I know you don't see it this way. But it's how I have learned to see it. My work is, ultimately, not to need anything, because it's the only way to avoid the leash.
I don't mean to say this is logical, or sensible, or anything like that. Just that this is the person I have become. One whose job is primarily to avoid the leash.
I wish it wasn't like this, and there is more to me. You know that. You have been very kind, you have been endlessly supportive. But the leash is always there.
I don't know why I allow this. It's a bit of a sad deal, this tawdry mess, these broken dreams. These shells breaking under my feet across the floor, these alarming early morning sorrows. Why do you own this. Why do I let you. Why didn't I make something else where you couldn't get in.
I should have left decades ago. I should have chewed through the leash, broken a few teeth in the process. I should have ran until I could not run anymore.
I did run, but I didn't run far enough. I'll never get rid of you. You'll die before me, perhaps, and you'll still be there harping at me like a cockatoo on my shoulder, pointing stuff out, being corrective, chirping. You'll never go away.
I am stuck with you forever and ever. What to make of this? The brilliant advice you gave me, the obvious fact that you never gave up on me, that you never wanted to end this communication?
You are my mother. I can't fix this. It's not a thing that can be fixed or even needs fixing. We just are, mother and daughter. Stuck.

Wary, Contrary and no Virgin Mary
I've been feeling old, lately.
Ugly, aged, and… 2 dimensional.
So much has changed in the 3 and a bit years since my mental health crisis. I'm an entirely different person with an entirely different life. In so many ways that is a positive result, but there's one long-standing aspect of that recovery that has really started to get to me.
I don't have an identity anymore.
I think many addicts go through this when they step into recovery. You mourn the loss of your chosen substance(s), and the people who came with them. Addicts design their entire lives around their ability to get high so when they take that requirement away from themselves it very quickly becomes apparent just how substanceless their lives were when they lived under the influence.
There was a lot of catching up with the world to be done when I quit Escapism.

Losing the Ocean2 Jul
I was a child in West Los Angeles, and we went to the beach. I would confront the waves, and I learned to dive under them as they broke, and swam out beyond the breaker line to float. It was magnificent.
Then we went away to Massachusetts, and lived by a lake. I learned her too: her leeches, her snapping turtles, her moonlight mystery at night, and then in winter, her changing surface, her shining wonder, her icy treachery.
Then I came back to L.A. in the late 1970's. I went into the ocean.
She tasted different. She tasted wrong.
I dreamed of her for decades. Sometimes I lived in a glass house and she would beat upon the house with her waves. Sometimes I would walk along her coast for miles and miles, looking for something. Sometimes I would walk north, sometimes I would walk south. But I never went into her. Not after that time.
And then I had other dreams, where I was more inland and walking, walking down Olympic Boulevard, where I saw the triple rainbow once in my early twenties, right after walking by a lightning strike so close the air turned blue around me.
Or walking in Hollywood, further in. Looking at the sky, looking for her, trying to see which way she was. Always heading towards her. Always drawn.
I lived in the Seacastle Apartments for a few years, around 1980. Before the earthquake came and they made everybody leave. It was like a Hollywood set, with a huge, dingy, mirrored foyer, with aging white carpet, dodgy elevators, and a stone cathedral on the third floor. I played my flute there.
I didn't have an ocean view. That would have been expensive. I didn't have a view at all, but I could hear her, always. Sighing and soughing and occasionally roaring.
I had a woman friend, we liked to take acid and go to the beach. That was all right.
I left again, and I came back again, but I didn't go to the beach anymore. And then I left, for good I guess, 20 years ago.
I miss her. I miss the way she sounds, the way she smells. Even though I know she probably tastes even worse now. It's not her fault.
Sometimes in the summer, I bicycle near the Pecos, and even this poor trapped little creek, she smells like river. She smells like ocean. And it takes me back to when I would tramp up a Malibu creek that led to the Pacific, and hunt tadpoles, and wonder at the magnificence of water.
Four Latina Lesbians Still Seeking Justice2 Jul
Four Latina Lesbians Still Seeking Justice
In 1994, four women were sentenced collectively to over 75 years in prison for a crime they did not commit. It's a story we've become all too familiar with—the unjust justice system that, for women and people of color, presumes guilt and demands innocence be proven.
Known as the San Antonio Four, the women had three strikes against them besides their gender: they are Latina, they are lesbian, and they are poor.
By 2013, all four had been released from prison.
But they have yet to be exonerated.
Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four is the heart-wrenching new documentary about the story of these four women, now screening at film festivals across the United States.
