Greenpeace is trying to coax would-be whistleblowers to come out against the Arctic oil companies they work for.
The environmental group launches a website today called Arctic Truth.
On it, workers are encouraged to anonymously tip off infractions.
"We don't actually quite know what information we'll get," says Ben Ayliffe.
Ayliffe heads Greenpeace's Arctic oil campaign. He says there haven't been any responses yet, and it will take some time.
He hopes workers all over the Arctic, not just Alaska, will emerge and expose risks the companies might be taking.
He says information could come from anywhere, from workers offshore.
"To decision makers in Anchorage and Houston that have information we think is interesting and relevant."
Spokespersons for Shell Alaska and ConocoPhillips had nothing to say about the latest attempt from Greenpeace to block their planned drilling campaigns.

Update: the below post set off a firestorm of comments on Facebook. Here's my response. ~ ed.
The "Dark Side of Social Media."
Keep your friends close, and follow Sarah Palin on twitter.
I'm a fan of Sarah Palin—on Facebook. I follow Sarah Palin—on twitter.
Like her or hate her, Sarah Palin can speak soundbite culture better than anyone else.
For her, shortening her thoughts on a subject to 140 characters is a cinch—it's the in-depth stuff that's proven more challenging.
From the Harvard Business Review, on the Dark Side of Social Media. Excerpt:
Sarah Palin can turn a phrase. Hers is not the style of Churchill or JFK; in fact, it's quite the opposite. And that's the point. Once we thought of political oratory as speech used to build community, unite people, and inflate the spirit, as in "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Instead, Palin has shown us how it can be used to deflate if not the spirit, then at least the opponent. "How's that hopey, changey stuff working out for ya?" she asks, and in no time the line is on Twitter, the clip on YouTube, and Zazzle.com is selling it on bumper stickers.
She has a kajillion followers on Facebook (though many of those, undoubtedly, follow her, like me, so we can be aware of her latest spew), and her status is frequently quoted in the media. She rocks Twitter, too:
The HBR article goes on to discuss how social media, like any tool, can be used for good or ill. It's an obvious point, but one we (including me) tend to forget in the rush of excitement that follows any new technology.
Read the rest of the HBR article here.

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: Stan K, May 2016
Excellent- very worthwhile tour. Since we were on a cruise with about 3100 passengers and 3 other ships arrived at about the same time, it was very trying to get on the bus. The lines at the pick up point were very long and we had to wait for another bus to arrive. Also, we found it confusing at the initial bus stop because another hop on off red bus was at the same pick up point. We learned after waiting in line for several minutes that the tour Company also has the same service. The only identifying mark is a small emblem in the lower front of the bus.
The sound system worked great. There are maps on the bus identifying the stops and the points of interest. The driver was helpful and friendly. Because of our schedule we could not find enough time to take the Blue route. The red Route took at least 1 and a half hours. We find the hop on hop off bus is a good way to familiarize yourself with a new city.
Stan K
Reviewed by: DANIEL A, May 2016
Hop-On, Hop-Off bus is very much as you would expect it. Given that some of the sites are a bit more out of the city area eg Torre de Belem, this is good for a 1-day experience. After that, you can walk to most of the stuff around the city area.

Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
The Scottsdale Scorpions stung the Mesa Solar Sox 11-1 today at HoHoKam Park in Mesa.
Cubs RHP Andrew Cashner (2008 1st round pick out of TCU) started the game for the Solar Sox and took the loss, but he actually looked very good, allowing just one run on three hits (no walks) with one K, 5/4 GO/FO, and 54 pitches (36 strikes), over 3.2 IP. He also showed an outstanding pickoff move to 1st base, nailing Diamondbacks 2B Pedro Ciriaco (38 SB at AA Mobile in 2009) cold in the top of the 2nd.
The only run charged to Cashner scored after he left the game (he retired the first two men he faced in the top of the 4th, then gave up a single, and was pulled from the game after throwing pitch #54) when Angels RHP Marco Albano came into the game in "relief" and got royally hammered (four hits and a walk in just 1/3 of an inning) .
LHP John Gaub followed Albano to the mound, and allowed four runs on four hits in 1.0+ IP. After striking out Ciriaco to open the 5th, Gaub gave up a one-out double to Cole Gillespie, with the runner coming around to score on a stolen base and a Domonic Brown sac-fly. Gaub then struck out Brandon Allen on a nasty slider. (Gaub faced only two lefty hitters today--Brown and Allen--and one popped out to CF, while the other struck out swinging).
The Scorpions loaded the bases against Gaub in the top of the 6th on three consecutive line singles to the outfield to start the inning, and then all three runs scored after Gaub left the game, as the Scorpions unloaded the bases against Angels reliever Jeremy Haynes on a two-run RBI single, a FC, and a double.
So far in three AFL games, Gaub has thrown three innings, and allowed six runs on eight hits, and no walks, while striking out five.Left-handed hitters don't touch him, but he is not fooling the right-handers at all.
Starlin Castro and Welington Castillo were also in the lineup today, Castro the DH hitting 2nd, and Castillo behind the plate hitting 9th. Castro went 1-4 with a line-drive double over the left-fielders head (plus a 6-3, 4-6 FC, and a K-swinging) and Castillo went 0-3 with two strikeouts (both swinging) and a pop out to RF, plus a passed ball (ball just clanked off his glove and rolled to the backstop).
The 19-year old Castro is now hitting 481, and his one strikeout today was just his first in 28 PA so far in AFL play.
RHP Blake Parker, LHP James Russell, and 3B Josh Vitters (400/429/500 in five games played) did not play today, but Parker (in particular) has looked very good so far, throwing 3.1 IP of shutout ball over three games out of the bullpen while picking up two saves, allowing three hits and no walks, with three K. Parker was already a strong candidate to get added to the Cubs 40-man roster by the 11/20 deadline, but pitching well in the AFL just helps solidify his chances even more. .
In other Winter League activity elsewhere around the Western Hemisphere involving Cubs players, Iowa Cubs supersub IF-OF Matt Camp is making a bid to get added to the 40-man roster, hitting 378/440/573 with two doubles, a triple, and a HR, plus 6 SB (1 CS) and only three K in 49 PA (10 games) so far at Mexicali in the Mexican Pacific League (LMP). The 25-year old Camp (13th round pick out of NC State in 2006) is a speedy left-handed hitter who hit 284/329/344 with 19 SB at Iowa and Tennessee (combined) in 2009.
Already very likely to get an NRI to Spring Training even if he isn't added to the 40, Camp can play 2B-SS-3B-LF-CF-RF and PR, and should get some consideration from Cubs Manager Lou Piniella in Spring Training 2010 as a possible bench guy, especially if Mike Fontenot and/or Sam Fuld get traded or are sent back to Iowa (both Fontenot and Fuld have minor league options available).
Meanwhile, RHP Jeff Samardzija is 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in three starts for Mexicali, allowing six runs (two earned) on 13 hits, three walks and two HBP, with 12 K and two GIDP, over 13.0 IP. Samardzija will likely battle LHPs Tom Gorzelanny and Sean Marshall for the Cubs 5th starter job in Spring Training, with the two losers going to the bullpen, although both Samardzija and Marshall do have minor league options left (Gorzelanny is out of minor league options, however).
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
AZ, there are reports from mainstream media that Castro might be ready by mid season next year. You agree? God knows where those reports come from -- I trust your take more.
Has Samardzija come up with a third pitch? He could be damn good if he does.
Vitters is dropping fast in the BCS -- I mean, analysts poll. What is your opinion of Vitters? Another bust?
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
it's going to be Vitterrs age 20 season next year, let's remember that before throwing him down the failed prospect garbage chute....
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
Samarginal already has three pitches, sinking fastball(90-97), straight changeup(85-89), and slurvy slider(82-84). Some scorers thought they saw him throw a few curveballs as well.
If he can just develop a fifth or sixth pitch.....
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
Gaub = MLB LOOGy?
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
Thanks PHIL! Did you, or anyone have a gun on Cash? Curious as to his velocity.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
Word. The problem with LOOGys is what they do to a manager's Walking per Inning ratio.
Remember Lou's 2nd Cubs game when he went to the mount just to remind Dempster that throwing strikes is a good thing? We were lucky to see that from Rothschild this year.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
gaub has balls, though...he loves to go inside on righties. now that he's scrapped that crappy curve (or he was supposedly going to) it should only get better, imo.
he could be an inning guy if his control lets him eat the corners as he progresses.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
The Cubs would be best served trading Vitters ASAP before he ever reaches the majors. Just point that he is a highly touted prospect and hopefully ignore his .319 OBP and SO to walk ration in his minor league career.
Those ratios are just going to get worse as he goes through the system and no one is going to be excited with a 25 year old prospect in AAA hitting .270 with a .290 OBP.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
guy has serious power upside and he's showing it...bit early to get rid of him unless you're getting a sure-thing MLB player and the cubs are ready to pay that MLB player now.
k/bb ratio is atrocious, but his contact is pretty awesome.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
I'd usually agree Mike, but a 25 year old in AAA...Isn't Vitters only 20?
So he can't improve in 5 seasons?
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
I don't know if I could support trading Vitters, but it's not a crazy idea. Look at it this way: a. what kind of player could the Cubs get for Vitters right now and b. under the direction of Cubs minor league coaching will Vitters reach the level of the player from question a?
Because, let's face it, the Cubs system has a knack for letting promising, young talent fizzle.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
This comes with the understanding that our minor league system sucks ass and has been that way for decades. We have not develop meaningful positional talent since Mark Grace, and before that do we have to go back to the 1960's?
When the best your organization has to offer for LF and RF injuries is Bobby Scales, The Hoff, and Fox who aren't even OFers by trade, something has gone seriously wrong with your system. But we have known about that for years.
I have zero faith that Vitters will contribute anything to the Cubs. His power may be legit in A ball against fastball pitchers, but they are going to make him look silly if he doesn't change his approach, lean how to take a walk and cut down his strikeouts. The Cubs seem hell bent like the many prospects before him to just let him do his own thing.
Tyler Colvin is just a further along version of Vitters. A guy that has some pop but doesn't like to take walks. If your gonna strikeout and walk that little you better have some Chris Davis like power. Colvin and Vitters don't have that, not even close.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
The thing is, though, that Vitters doesn't strike out very often. I don't know what you're getting at with the "have to have Chris Davis power" talk. Vitters is simply a terribly aggressive hitter early in the count. He sees the ball well and makes good contact. He isn't Vlad Guerrero, who has never met a pitch he didn't like. I would hope the Cubs would focus on this, as well as his defense, but who knows.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
"We have not develop[ed] meaningful positional talent since Mark Grace."
Even Grace was a first baseman. Palmeiro was a 1B/LF type; Joe Carter a left fielder. When did the Cubs ever develop or even draft a player capable of playing center, right, third, second, short or catcher at a high level in the majors?
Going back 30-40 years, I can think of Soto, maybe Dunston.
But that has all changed. Wilken drafts only two-way players, i.e., players who actually have a shot. The system is now full of center fielders (who can move over to right) and shortstops (who can play second or third). Two nice recent catchers are Donaldson and Brenly.
Strength up the middle--versus what has historically been strength at first base, the weakest kind of strength.
I'm one of the older posters here but I'm willing to be patient with Wilken's picks, because I sense a very deep change in the organization. Wilken loved Colvin's swing and Vitters' swing. That's good enough for me, for now.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
I brought this up last season, and will again:
For the most part, the goal of the minor leagues is to, a. help train players well enough so that they may be one of 800 Major League ballplayers - whether they are on the Yankees - or the Nationals - they have reached the "Best of the Best" - considering the aggregate number of professional minor leagues and even "dreamers" playing International ball, and semi-pro.
Were talking how many thousands of players, right?
800 make the cut.
b. These players are used to obtain MLB-ready talent (and of course other minor-leaguers), and this value cannot be minimized.
If a team gets lucky, and they scouting department has a "run", THEN it is icing on the cake for Albert Pujols to get spotted and not get traded by an asshole GM. But, it happens more than not probably.
The Cubs have not "birthed" an Albert Pujols, or a superstar, in a long time. But they certainly have turned out very good, as well as "servicable" major leaguers from their Minor League affiliates, as well as through trades.
So "meaningful" talent is subjective to some of you, but the goals of the minors (and I have heard Randy Bush speak of this) remains the same.
Was Hee-Sop Choi for DLee not "meaningful"? Randy Wells this year? Soto, last year? All obtained through the methods stated above.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
Wow, this guy seems to think a Bradley for Vernon Wells trade makes sense.
Not sure why the eff Toronto would do that, but okay...
Maybe if you throw in a Carlos Zambrano they'll entertain the idea.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
The best-case scenario for the Bradley saga to end on the north
side, while adding a needed piece, exists. Yes, it does, and it exists
north of the border.
Vernon Wells.
Okay, I'll give you a second to get back up off of the floor, either
from falling out of your chair in a giant fit of laughter or dropping
from shock.
Yes, Wells represents the best option for the Cubs.
another avid subscriber to the my ideas are fucking unfallible...see Colin Cowherd, Joe Sheehan, every other hack columnist...
nonetheless, Bradley for Wells would probably work if the Cubs wanted to take on another bad contract. Blue Jays would probably love to move him off their books...but that doesn't seem to be the position the Cubs are taking right now for obvious reasons.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
I agree with MikeC for once.
Toronto would do that in a second.
Why WOULDN'T Toronto do that?
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
Seems to me Toronto would love to trade Wells for Bradley. Toronto is handcuffed with Wells' contract and getting out of it is about the only way they will ever be able to afford to rebuild and compete in the AL East.
The truth is that I don't think the Cubs or anyone else is going to trade for Wells and his gigantic contract. I didn't understand the way the article Ryno linked to broke out Wells annual income, but Cot's Contracts lists it as:
2010 -- $12.5 million
2011 -- $23 million
2012 -- $21 million
2013 -- $21 million
2014 -- $21 million
The only way Toronto will ever get rid of that contract is if they either eat a lot of it or they somehow sweeten the pot. For instance, they could package Wells and Roy Halladay. Teams want Halladay and they are willing to pay a king's ransom to get him (although his value is decreasing every day he gets closer to the end of his contract). The Blue Jays should use the market for Halladay to also try to move Wells.
Just to be clear, a straight up Vernon Wells for Milton Bradley trade is way too expensive for the Cubs, but I'm pretty sure the Blue Jays would jump at it.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
I don't get that guy's number$$ for Wells. But here are the figures for what the total obligation each year is for the remaining years on Wells' contract according to Cot's.
2010 $16,142,857
2011 $26.643 million
2012 $24.643
2013 $24.643
2014 $24.643
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
I'm seeing different numbers. Here's what Cot's Contracts has to say:
7 years/$126M (2008-14)
signed extension with Toronto 12/06
$25.5M signing bonus (paid in 3 $8.5M installments, March 1 2008-10)
full no-trade clause
Wells may opt out of contract after 2011
award bonuses: $0.25M for MVP, $0.2M for World Series MVP, $0.15M for LCS MVP, $0.1M for receiving most All-Star votes in league
Wells to donate $143,000 annually to Blue Jays charity
In addition to being owed $12.5 million in 2010, Wells is owed $8.5 million remaining on his original $25.5 million signing bonus. So he's actually owed $21 million in 2010.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
I know how we hate math and all, but can I just say that when I looked at the google spreadsheet I came up with:
$126-$16.142857 - 4*$26.643 + $6 = $9,285,143.
So Navigator thinks he got payed roughly $4.6 million per over the last two years?
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
Toronto would flip Vernon Wells for Bradley in a heartbeat. They would be out from under those last 4 years of Wells contract that pay him over 80 million dollars.
Think about that for a minute. Vernon Wells will average near A-rod money to knock in 60-80 RBI hit maybe 20 HR, and run around with a career .329 OBP.
I would rather bring back the dead corpse of Neifi Perez to play CF than to trade for Vernon Wells and that stupid contract.
On the bright side Wells can opt out of his contract in 2011. Maybe if we can sucker him into opting out and saying we will pay him 30 million a year we can go for it. Then at the last minute goooo opppps did i say 30 million? I ment 3 million a year. Awwww damn sucks for you Vernon, you could of made 63 million over the next 3 years.
That fucker isn't opting out of shit.
Re: Cashner Looks Sharp at HoHoKam
We discussed this a month ago. The Jays would have to throw in about $30 million to make the trade reasonable, if memory serves.

Just had to ask, I guess.
Haven't had a big comeback win in a long time (at least it seems like a long time). Great feeling!
Rizzo should hold clinics on 2-strike hitting. Awesome.
cubs lead in the top 7th!
so nastay...
triple, walk, domination
And he gets out of it by K-ing Braun, Lucroy and Carter!
Let's get some runs!
welcome to the cubs j.nathan.
2 pitches into the inning and there's a guy on 3rd with 0 outs (triple).
his velocity is hanging around 91/92mph.
Always a good idea to bring in Richard against a LH batter.
Russell left game with left heel contusion from foul ball on Saturday. Started to bother him during the Sunday game.
a.russell out and down into the clubhouse...no one knows why.
it's very hot on the field, so it might be heat related.
I blame the All-Star game again, or else Michael Barrett.
Miller park roof is closing. Hmmm, might play differently now?
Lester at 72 pitches through 3. Roof closing might get him through 6.
Middlebrows pulls a calf or hamstring. Len says he blew a tire rounding 1st. Nieuwenhuis enters game.
Now roof opening. Dizziness. No AC in the ballpark wrt the field.
just to lighten the mood:
Shark's day: 5.2 IP 5 Runs (all earned), 8 Hits, 2 HR. Left the game down 5-0 to Yankees.
Anyone expecting game 4 NLCS Shark vs Hammel or Lackey?
First inning: two on, no out, Rizz and Zobrist due up. Don't score.
Third inning: two on, one out, KB and Rizz due up. Don't score.
This is getting' old, fellahs.
KB still with ZERO RBI since the A/S break. Ouch.
62 through 2ip...yow.
it's an off day for d.ross, too. the wild pitch + passed ball in 2 separate strike 3 calls allowing the runner to reach 1st and the 5sb through 2ip makes for a bad game so far. ross cant shoulder any blame for some of those SBs, especially that villar steal of 3rd while lester watched him.
39 pitch inning by Lester. I guess it's a wash vs yesterday's 1st when Lackey gave up 2 run HR.
39 pitch, 2 run, 1st inning for lester. bleh.
horrible control so far today.

Excluding Deduno, these guys all seem pretty far from making it to Rochester, much less the Twins. The fact that no one from Fort Meyers or New Britain made the list indeed speaks volumes about a failure to draft and develop good starters.
Posted 02 July 2012 - 10:56 PM
I think 2014 is the year Twins field a professional pitching staff again. Bromberg is working his way back. I think I saw he pitched in NB today. He could be a Sept. Call up to get him and should be on the team in 2013 and competent if 2014 Salcedo (sp?) is also working his way back. He should end the year at NB and be ready to help in 2014 Two wild cards: Gibson - When will he pitch? Wimmers - Why isn't he knifed up yet?
Posted 03 July 2012 - 04:40 AM
Not sure how Salcedo would end this season in New Britain unless something crazy happened. Let's just let him get back to Ft. Myers first. Gibson could/should pitch an inning in the GCL in about a week. What a big day for him, another milestone. Wimmers? I'm not sure. I would guess they'll get him into the GCL again soon so that they can make a decision.
Posted 03 July 2012 - 04:52 PM
Why not give Deduno a try?

A messy but hungry film like this is more interesting than cool technical perfection.
Less an updated version of the Dostoevsky novel than an unusually somber Hollywood teen love story.
Not faithful enough to be an adaptation, too misguided to be considered an interpretation, and not funny enough to be a parody, this film would do well not to advertise its inspiration.
Even dressed up in tabloid lighting and cut with jagged edits, this pulp nihilism never goes beyond daytime TV banality.
A somber, draggy, deadweight, lugubrious, absurdly self serious version of ''American Beauty.''

This ornament was purchased for my 20 year old daughter who is playing lacrosse in college! Each year I give my children a new personal ornament and this one was just adorable. Very well made, beautiful writing, and very professional looking. My daughter loved this one and added it to her collection ornaments including the last lacrosse player that I bought from Ornament Shop.com when she was in high school. I can always find that special ornament for someone on this site!

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Garnering eight nominations each, Covidien and Intel are the two most-nominated companies for the IR Magazine Awards – US 2013. More impressively, both companies have greatly increased their nomination counts from last year when Covidien was nominated in three award categories and Intel in only two.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130111/NY41010LOGO)
Now in their 18th year, the IR Magazine Awards – US 2013 are the industry's most prestigious and coveted awards that honor leading companies and professionals in investor relations (IR). This year, the awards will take place on the evening of March 21, 2013, at a black-tie dinner and ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. For the full list of nominees, see below or click here.
The second-highest nomination count for the IR Magazine Awards – US 2013 goes to Danaher, with seven. These three companies ‒ Covidien, Danaher and Intel ‒ and Honeywell will vie for the top prize of best overall IR program – large cap ($20 bn and over in market capitalization). This is a rematch of last year's fight for the top spot, which Covidien eventually won.
In the $2 bn to $20 bn mid-cap category, Broadcom, Kansas City Southern, Limited Brands and Wyndham Worldwide are nominated for best overall IR program. Broadcom is the only repeat nominee from 2012; it was the eventual winner last year. In the small-cap category (under $2 bn), the short list for best overall IR program includes Jack in the Box, Old National Bancorp, US Airways Group and ViroPharma.
Underpinning the IR Magazine Awards – US 2013 is a body of research that identifies the best corporate IR teams and provides a window into the thinking of IR's most important audience: investors. This research is the only one of its kind to go directly to the investment community, via a combination of electronic surveys and one-to-one telephone interviews conducted over the course of five months in 2012, canvassing the opinions of more than 800 investors, analysts and portfolio managers across the US.
The IR Magazine Awards – US 2013 are sponsored by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Bloomberg, BNY Mellon, Business Wire, Computershare/Georgeson, Innisfree, Ipreo, Issuer Advisory Group, Marketwire, NASDAQ OMX and PR Newswire.

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Kenyan president: Terrorists defeated
NAIROBI, Kenya — The terrorists who took control of a Nairobi mall and held off Kenyan security forces for four days have been defeated after killing at least 67 civilians and government troops, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said Tuesday.
He said those killed include 61 civilians whose bodies have been recovered so far and six security forces, while some 175 were injured, including 62 who remain hospitalized.
Three floors of the mall collapsed and several bodies were trapped in the rubble, said Kenyatta. His office later said a terrorist's body was among those in the debris.
Five other militants were killed by gunfire, he said.
"We have ashamed and defeated our attackers," Kenyatta said in the televised address to the nation.
He said 11 other suspects had been arrested; authorities had previously announced the arrest of seven at the airport and three elsewhere.
"These cowards will need justice as well their accomplices and patrons, wherever they are," Kenyatta said.
Kenyatta declared three days of national mourning starting Wednesday.
At the Westgate mall, there were no immediate signs of the Kenyan Security forces closing their operation.
Two Kenyan soldiers who had recently been inside the mall told The Associated Press shortly before the president spoke that the operation was effectively finished, but they said security forces were still combing the facility and had not definitively cleared all the rooms inside. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were under orders not to speak to the media.
Kenyan forces had for two days said they were in the "final phase" of the operation, only to be battled back by the militants inside the building.
Explosions rang from the upscale Westgate mall in Nairobi throughout Tuesday, and the chatter of gunfire from inside the building could also be heard. Fresh smoke rose from the building in the afternoon.
The Kenyan Red Cross had previously said 62 people had been killed, and it seemed certain that the number of confirmed deaths would rise as security forces search the building.
Nairobi's city morgue had already braced for the arrival of a large number of bodies of people killed, an official said.
Kenyan Red Cross spokesman Abbas Gullet said it was still not known how many more may be dead inside the building.
"It is certainly known that there are more casualties," he said.
A government official told The Associated Press that the morgue was preparing for up to an additional 60 bodies, though the official didn't know an exact count. The government official insisted on anonymity so he would not face retribution from government officials.
Earlier Tuesday the al-Qaida-linked attackers used social media to give accounts of the fighting inside the mall that conflicted with the government reports.
"There are countless number of dead bodies still scattered inside the mall, and the mujahideen are still holding their ground," the Somali rebel group al-Shabab said in one Twitter message considered to be genuine.
It added it still held hostages, who were "still alive looking quite disconcerted but, nevertheless, alive."
Kenyatta did not mention the fate of the hostages — if it was indeed true that there were still some being held — in his address.
Al-Shabab, whose name means "The Youth" in Arabic, said the mall attack was in retribution for Kenyan forces' 2011 push into neighboring Somalia. African Union forces pushed the al-Qaida-affiliated group out of Somalia's capital in 2011.
"You could have avoided all this and lived your lives with relative safety," the group Tweeted Tuesday. "Remove your forces from our country and peace will come."
Kenyatta said "initial reports had suggested that a British woman and two or three American citizens may have been involved in the attack," but that "we cannot confirm the details at the moment.
He said experts were working to try and determine the nationalities of the terrorists.
Earlier, Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed had said "two or three Americans" and "one Brit" were among those who attacked the mall.
A security expert with contacts inside the mall described the attackers as "a multinational collection from all over the world."
U.S. officials said they were looking into whether any Americans were involved. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday that the department had "no definitive evidence of the nationalities or the identities" of the attackers.
Britain's foreign office said it was aware of the Kenyan foreign minister's remarks, but would not confirm if a British woman was involved.
Al-Shabab, responding to a request from AP, denied that any women had attacked the mall, saying "these are just baseless rumors."
"We have an adequate number of young men who fully committed and ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of Allah and for the sake of their religion," said the al-Shabab press office in what is thought to be an authentic email address.
The attack began on Saturday when an estimated 12 to 15 al-Shabab militants invaded the mall, wielding grenades and firing on civilians inside the complex, which includes shops for Nike, Adidas and Bose and is popular with foreigners and wealthy Kenyans.
The militants specifically targeted non-Muslims, and at least 18 foreigners were among the dead, including six Britons, as well as citizens from France, Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, India, Ghana, South Africa and China. Nearly 200 people were wounded, including five Americans.
A U.S. Embassy vehicle, identifiable by its numbered diplomatic license plate, arrived at the morgue on Tuesday. American officials have not confirmed the deaths of any U.S. citizens in the mall attack, but it appeared possible the Americans who visited the morgue — likely security officials with an agency like the FBI — could have been seeking information about one of the bodies inside.
The attack at the Westgate mall in Nairobi's Westlands neighborhood was the deadliest terrorist attack in Kenya since the 1998 al-Qaida truck bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, which killed more than 200 people.
