2013 UNHCR regional operations profile - East and Horn of Africa
Working environment
As in previous years, in 2012 the East and Horn of Africa region continued to draw the attention of the world for the scope and magnitude of the humanitarian challenges facing it. There are more than 7.3 million people of concern to UNHCR in the East and Horn, with assessed needs for 2013 amounting to more than USD 1 billion. The biggest operation in the region remained the response to the Somali emergency, followed closely by the Sudanese refugee situation.
Throughout 2012 the East and the Horn saw armed conflict in Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The incursion into Somalia by Kenyan forces to bolster the activities of the already present African Union forces (AMISOM) was a significant event during the year.
The security situation in Dadaab, Kenya which hosts more than half a million Somali refugees, took a serious turn for the worse at the beginning of the year. Humanitarian workers were taken hostage and reportedly taken across the border to Somalia. Roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices frequently targeted the Kenyan personnel responsible for camp security, resulting in a number of deaths and injuries among both police officers and refugees.
The creation of South Sudan last year has not ended the conflict between the two Sudans, with clashes largely driven by issues left unresolved in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the two countries. Among the contentious issues were the sharing of resources and the presence of proxy militias on both sides of the border. The conflict drove refugees into Ethiopia and South Sudan. Particularly in South Sudan, refugees moved into areas which lacked basic infrastructure or host communities and were largely inaccessible during the rainy season, raising huge challenges in providing protection and humanitarian assistance. Many refugees had experienced crop failure in Sudan before seeking refuge. Isolated, refugees had to depend mostly on themselves as well as the assistance they received from the humanitarian community. The confluence of all these factors has resulted in many refugee children and other vulnerable groups being malnourished, and many have died.
Humanitarian access in Sudan, particularly in the contested regions of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, has become increasingly limited. A tripartite agreement to allow humanitarian assistance into these regions was signed in August, but it remains to be seen how this will alleviate the situation. In Darfur, clashes between rebels and the Sudanese Government continue to cause more displacement. Clashes between government forces and a new rebel group known as M23 in the eastern DRC have forced more than 41,000 refugees to seek protection in Uganda. Many of them have been moved away from the transit centre at Nyakabande to settlements, including the Rwamwanja site, which is being rehabilitated. Some have chosen to monitor the situation back home from the transit centre, while a small number have returned home.
Strategy in 2013
UNHCR is maintaining and strengthening its emergency response capability throughout the region to ensure that arriving refugees receive robust protection and assistance. The strategy requires enhanced coordination with other core humanitarian actors such as WFP, UNICEF, donors and NGOs, a well maintained regional stockpile, and careful management of standing arrangements with partners for the rapid deployment of assistance and personnel.
Among UNHCR's top priorities is ensuring adequate assistance in life-saving sectors such as water, shelter, health, sanitation and core relief items. Unfortunately, needs in many other important areas, such as livelihoods, support for host communities, alternative energy and education, have been impossible to fill or insufficiently addressed due to funding constraints.
In 2013, logistics and supply management will be of critical importance to the programmes in South Sudan and Ethiopia due to the remoteness of the areas hosting refugees, the absence of basic infrastructure and ongoing insecurity. UNHCR has already had to invest heavily in infrastructure, such as road construction and maintenance, in South Sudan.
While the number of new arrivals from Sudan has dropped because of the rains, it is expected that more will come after the rainy season ends at the close of the year. Air and ground attacks in Sudan's Southern Kordofan State in September drove a new influx of about 100 refugees a day into South Sudan, where UNHCR and its partners will ensure enough food is available.
A smaller number of arrivals is expected in western Ethiopia, where UNHCR will continue to transfer refugees away from transit sites and improve facilities and services in new settlements.
Some 170,000 Somali refugees have sought protection and assistance in the Dollo Ado region of Ethiopia, overwhelming the local population of 130,000 people. The refugees are currently hosted in five camps, with a sixth to be opened to accommodate those currently in transit centres and decongest some of the existing camps. It is likely that more Somalis will arrive, especially as military action inside Somalia continues. The aim is to have robust livelihood interventions to reduce refugees' dependence on humanitarian aid. Innovative projects in sectors such as livelihoods, agriculture and alternative energy will also be implemented.
Uganda continues to receive Congolese refugees as a result of the ongoing conflict in the eastern DRC. While regional initiatives to end the conflict have not borne fruit, the number of arrivals has gone down and a few refugees from the transit sites have returned home. For those remaining, UNHCR will continue to improve key life-sustaining sectors such as shelter, health, water and sanitation.
Floods in 2012 have greatly affected most of the camps hosting refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR) in Chad. UNHCR will repair and reinforce structures affected by the rains. A new, small influx of CAR refugees in July and August was assisted within the existing operation. UNHCR will continue to monitor conditions in the CAR and prepare for a possible larger influx.
As in previous years, many of the political, economic and social issues fuelling conflicts in the East and Horn region remained unresolved, resulting in continued displacement. The Sudan situation, which is still unfolding, has drawn heavily on UNHCR's emergency preparedness and response capacity.
Security for refugees as well as logistical problems in South Sudan and Ethiopia continue to be of great concern. Secure access to populations of concern is another factor that has affected the humanitarian community. In Kenya, a new dimension in providing humanitarian safety and security emerged in early 2012 with the kidnapping of humanitarian workers in Dadaab, some of whom are still in captivity, and the use of improvised explosive devices. These dangers curtailed protection and assistance activities. UNHCR is now working with the Kenyan authorities under the aegis of the Security Partnership Project to restore the humanitarian character of the camps.
In Sudan, the lack of access to contested areas in Darfur has impaired UNHCR's capacity to provide protection and assistance. Likewise, in South Kordofan, it has been difficult if not impossible to ascertain the situation of an estimated 300,000 IDPs in the region.
In Unity State in South Sudan, where some 64,000 people have sought refuge, there are challenges in maintaining the humanitarian character of Yida camp. Efforts to convince refugees to move away from the border will continue in 2013.
The lack of access in Somalia, where fighting continued to cause untold suffering, is expected to remain a serious constraint in 2013.
In Uganda and Ethiopia, the shortage of funding for assistance to refugee-hosting communities and the rise in the number of new arrivals have undermined local community support and threatened the protection environment. As in previous years, refugees in urban centres in Uganda and Kenya may not receive meaningful assistance due to funding constraints.
The operations in Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Sudan, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda are described in separate chapters.
People of concern to UNHCR in Eritrea are mainly Somali, Sudanese and Ethiopian asylum-seekers and refugees. The Government of Eritrea recognizes Somali and Sudanese refugees on a prima facie basis. Somali and Sudanese refugees are camp-based and reside in Emkulu and Elit camps. Ethiopian refugees, recognized under UNHCR's mandate, reside mainly in the Eritrean capital, Asmara.
Ongoing international and regional efforts to bring stability to Somalia improved substantially with the inauguration of a president and prime minister in in 2012, as well as the fall of the port town of Kismayo, the last Al Shabaab stronghold. There is a growing sense that the situation in Somalia could gradually evolve into something more peaceful. Against this backdrop, there have been calls to re-examine the basic planning parameters for the Somali refugee operations, with a view to conditions improving in future and thereby allowing for safe and dignified voluntary returns. UNHCR stands ready to facilitate such a process.
The Regional Support Hub
As in previous years, the Regional Support Hub (RSH) will provide operational support and technical advice to countries in the East and Horn of Africa as well as to operations in the Central Africa and the Great Lakes region. A total of 23 specialists and many deployees from NGO partners provide support through the RSH supplementing sectoral gaps and capacity constraints in operations in the region. The RSH was instrumental in early 2012 in helping to devise an Operations Continuity Plan, following security incidences in Dadaab, Kenya. The framework helped to keep the humanitarian work functioning in the face of serious security threats.
The Regional Liaison Office to the African Union and the UN Economic Commission for Africa
This Regional Liaison Office is attached to the African Union and plays a significant role in ensuring that continent-wide issues that affect populations of concern to UNHCR are taken into account in the deliberations and resolutions of the African Union. Progress has been made with regard to ensuring that African governments ratify the AU Convention for the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa and that its various provisions are transposed into national law. These efforts will continue in 2013.
Financial information
UNHCR operations in the subregion have seen a significant increase in their financial requirements over the last five years, mainly due to a rise in the number of emergency refugee situations, including the Somali influx and the surge in the number of Sudanese crossing into Ethiopia and South Sudan. UNHCR's budgetary requirements to protect and assist people of concern in the East and Horn of Africa region in 2013 will amounted to about USD 1.13 billion.

Product Reviews
Art Deco / Retro 9 Light Two Tier Chandelier from the Kyle Collection
Absolutely Beautiful!
We purchased this for our new diningroom. We live in the country and wanted something rustic, but everything we looked at just didn't fit. When we saw this, although it's called a deco piece, we knew it was the PERFECT chandelier for our diningroom. It's better than we could have imagined and the lighting is perfect. We have a dimmer switch if we want to lessen the lighting effect, but regardless, this was probably our favorite purchase for our remodeling project. We also purchased an accompanying piece to go over our little dinette..just perfect!

Unusually Round
"The sun is nearly the roundest object ever measured," starts the latest news from the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy. It sounds a little funny ("of course the sun is round!") but most celestial bodies have a bit of a bulge in the middle because they rotate. Even the Earth, a terrestrial planet, bulges around the equator just a bit -- the diameter measured at the equator is about 26 miles longer than between the poles. So it seems strange that the sun, which is not a solid body, would have almost no bulge at all. The team of scientists used data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory to take precise measurements, and found that if "scaled to the size of a beach ball, it would be so round that the difference between the widest and narrow diameters would be much less than the width of a human hair." Sounds like they have yet another solar mystery to solve.

April 25, 2012 -- The BMI Clementine Churchill Hospital in London has become the first hospital in the U.K. to install interventional technology firm Medtronic's spinal O-Arm imaging system, according to BMI Healthcare.
Medtronic's O-Arm system provides surgeons with real-time, 3D images, as well as multiplane, 2D, and fluoroscopic imaging of a patient during their operation. It allows spinal surgeons to view the patient's anatomy in the operative position, monitor the status of the surgery, and verify surgical changes made during surgery, BMI Healthcare said.

Life in the North Shore revolves around the outdoors. The terrain offers superb hiking, and the ocean provides magnificent surfing for professionals. In winter, waves can crest greater than 20 feet. Surfing spots include the Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea Bay. Movie and TV crews use the North Shore as a backdrop for filming. Notably, the popular TV drama Lost was shot on location here.

We really liked the hotel and the location. Unfortunately when we got there they ran out of rooms so they would not acknowledge the reservation through hotel.com.

"Turtle Bay is delightful part of the North Shore"
Our stay in the King Cottage was very relaxing and having the ocean at our door was why we selected the Cottages. The price was worth it.

"Great resort"
Turtle Bay is an awesome resort if you are looking for a laid back Hawaiian getaway. Beach and resort were great and it gets you away from hustle and bustle of Waikiki/Honolulu, which is 30-40 mins away. Resort fee includes parking, fitness center and other activities, coffee, and internet (wi-fi) which was really nice. My girlfriend and I stayed for […] 5 nights and loved it.

"Happiest place in the country"
The resort is old and in need of an update, but the Location, people and the service made it a wonderful stay. Can't beat the North Shore and TB is the only large resort close. I would suggest that you stay in the hotel instead of a the ocean side cottages. It's great to wake up on the beach, but the porch kind of smelled like a litter box. The stray […] cats are part of Hawaii and don't bother me, but they need to do something to keep them from using the cottage bushes as their bathroom. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
This is a great hotel. However, I have a big problem with Hawaiian resorts that charge a resort fee when the amenities are lame. 1) The fitness center was closed during our stay 2) there was construction going on everywhere. The food is a bit pricey at this hotel for the quality and the waiter in the surfer bar was so rude and thought he was so hot […] and better than the guests. Also, I didn't like how hotel staff and their buddies hung around the pool area -- or how other people from outside the resort did the same. Otherwise, a nice hotel, and good service, but I wouldn't stay here again. The north shore is beautiful, but I would say has to compete with Kauai, Maui, and the Big Island (which would be better destinations in whole over the north shore).

"Too much construction"
The hotel WILL BE beautiful, but they should let you know of all the construction before booking. The gym was closed part of the time. Constant drilling and machines on the room. And too long to wait on line to have breakfast in the mornings. The pool LOOKS ugly with all the work being done and too noisy to properly relax. I would seriously not recommend […] this until all the work is done. And that's just too bad for a very nice hotel. Beautiful sunsets though... LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu

"Wind down at Turtle Bay"
This is our second trip to Turtle Bay and we knew that we needed to have a great place to unwind from work and this was it. We were upgraded to a higher floor and once again the Ocean front rooms did not disappoint. The upgrade has been a wonderful refresh without compromising on space and the bathrooms are so modern and light, they were a great improvement. […] The only downside was the food at the main restaurant which could be updated with more fresh produce. Our 3 nights were very relaxing and we highly recommend it.

"Great Resort - perfect for relaxing"
We stayed at Turtle Bay at the end of August and had a wonderful time. This was our second time to the resort, and we were lucky enough to stay in one of the newly renovated rooms. We were really impressed with the quality of the room compared to the last time we stayed - they have done a great job with these renovations. The pool area is the perfect […] place to relax - we split our time between lazing on the sunlounges and swimming in the numerous pools/spas. There are various meal options available at Turtle Bay. I was a little disappointed with Ola, the fish i ordered (and recommended by the waiter) was quite dry and tough. In saying that my partner ordered the ribs and they were amazing, so just pick carefully. I thoroughly enjoyed Surfer Bar - the cheese plate and pizzas are the goods!!

"North Shore Get-a-way :)"
My boyfriend and me wanted to visit Pearl Harbor for his birthday but we did not want to stay in a hotel so close to the city so we stayed in the north shore at Turtle Bay. The hotel is under construction/remodel, however we could hardly tell because they were very quite. The Hotel is very clean and beautiful and the staff are super friendly and nice. […] It makes a world of a difference when they greet you every morning with an Aloha. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we have had. The only downfall was not the hotel but the beaches, lots of coral everywhere. We came home with lots of battle wounds, but it was worth it! So be prepared and bring your water shoes.

"Perfect Aloha"
The Turtle Bay resort met all of the expectations for our trip. From the moment we arrived to the minute of departure.

"Nice hotel but beware!"
Turtle Bay is a very beautiful resort. I booked our room 6 months in advance & requested an ocean view. When we checked in, I was told they "upgraded" our room. Fantastic! I replied. When we arrived in our upgraded room, I immediately went to our lanai to see our ocean view. I was surprised to find our view was a wall and the roof of part of the hotel. […] It did have a tiny slither of an ocean view, but this was not acceptable. I went back down to the lobby and explained our upgrade was unacceptable & that I wanted another room. They obliged and gave me another room with a beautiful view, however it was not a walk-out lanai. So be it...turns out the "upgrade" was a renovation of that particular wing. Nice but no view, will not do! Our new room was equally nice although not renovated. Very clean and spacious... No complaints. Staff was nice and accommodating, not overly friending though. Quite honestly, our 4 days and 3 nights spent at turtle bay was away from the resort, so we never explored the resort, or swam on the premises or used the pool. At check-out, I was surprised when they charged me another $75. for using their amenities! Seriously? Our room was pre-paid in full through expedia! We never used their amenities and why not include them in the actual cost per night? Or at least ask their customers if they will be needing any of the services not included. (Use of business room, fax, wi-fi, etc..) save yourself the hassle when you check in and watch what you sign! LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
Hotellin vastaus, Turtle Bay Aloha, We are honored that you chose to stay with us at Turtle Bay. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on how we can improve. We believe our daily resort fee of $25 is a great value as it covers Wi-Fi, self-parking, a daily newspaper, daily hourly use of snorkeling gear, ukulele lessons, fire knife perfomances and more. At other hotels you could be spending more than $25 a day on parking alone. Mahalo for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We would be honored to have a visit from you again someday.
"Location, Location, Location"
While not the best hotel experience I've had, my recent stay at Turtle Bay was...passable. Renovations currently underway (apparently DIRECTLY above my room) made my in-room experience unpleasant, and we couldn't really be in there from 9 AM, sharp, until after 5, but with the hotel in the location that it is, we didn't really need to be. Sure, it would […] have been nice to be able to run back to the room for a quick power nap if needed, but I can set that aside for a second. The pool area is nice, the surrounding beaches are great, and our views were unreal. The location and views were a 5 and the hotel itself, a 2 or 3. There were some friendly staff, and some who were not the warmest, but no one was particularly mean to us. For the amount of money we spent here though, I was disappointed in our room and overall experience. I would recommend this hotel ONLY because it has a monopoly on the area. There are housing vacation rentals and campgrounds, but it is the only hotel. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu

"Breath taking views and wonderful facilities."
We stayed in an Ocean front cottage. Room was absolutely beautiful and well maintained. Room provided excellent views/access to the beach and ocean. Each room had a hammock out front to gaze at the ocean and sunset. Staff was excellent. Facilities were top notch. The gym overlooking the ocean & 2 18 holes courses being my highlight while my wife enjoyed […] the spa and ocean front massage.

"Focus not on the customer"
I recently stayed at this resort for 3 nights. All went well when I checked in until the next morning, when at around 8am the workers arrived on the floor above me to start renovations. The noise was not loud, but enough to not let me sleep in after a long international flight. At 8.30am the lady knocks on the door to clean the room, so I give up and […] get up. The next day the workers are back, and again the day after. It appears that they must be renovating a whole floor, or something. Others in rooms nearby say it is disappointing as well. At night the local young people sneak in to use the pool, and hot tub pool, and as nobody is around from the hotel staff to check. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu

"Great Location!"
We enjoyed our stay at Turtle Bay and would definitely return. They are currently refurbishing the property and unfortunately we were not in a refurbished wing! So a little tired but very clean and tidy. Good sized rooms too, lots of space. The only complaint otherwise is that for the price breakfast should be included for everyone! It is a reasonably […] expensive place! The surrounding areas are fantastic and there is lots of beaches etc to explore. LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu
"Beautiful views"
Lovely hotel. Clean and spacious rooms with comfortable beds. Large lanai. Location of hotel a little remote. Excellent views from property. Good restaurants, but pricey. Not a lot of variety in meal choices, especially for children. Best sandy beach on north shore is waimea. Best snorkeling is at sharks cove or three tables (Pupukea).Aito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu

"Great views and beach access"
Our trip was 8 days with the first 5 being at Turtle Bay on Oahu. The best part of our trip was being on the north shore at Turtle Bay. Amazing views, not very touristy, very relaxed, and you felt very free to travel the resort and take in all the sights. Would definitely recommend taking surf lessons, Rocky the instructor was great. Only downside was […] constant construction noise in the rooms above and around us that started at 8:00 in the morning and went all day. Understandable to do work during the hours people are at the beach, but it started way way too early to be hospitable to guests. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu
Hotellin vastaus, Turtle Bay Aloha, We're pleased Turtle Bay and the North Shore was the highlight of your Hawaii vacation.

"Under construction without warning"
My husband and I were pleased when entering the property in regard to location to the beach and overall quality of the resort. The prices were right for rentals for chairs and beach supplies. The food was well priced and of good quality at Ola (beach restaurant), but the food in the Grill was way overpriced and not good at all ($36 NY strip steak that […] was like eating shoe leather). The service was good at all restaurants and working with the staff was very positive. We were given an ocean-view room, which was as advertised (in that there was a full view of the bay), but the room smelled strongly of mildew. We were moved (not quickly) to another room which was better. The hotel is undergoing renovation and is working on portions of most floors while placing people in the rooms (older room for us) no being worked on, one the same floor. There was loud noise from roofing work and several leaks were noticed on our stay. The halls smelled strongly of adhesives and paint. We would have appreciated fair warning that they were in progress on renovation, especially because there was no price break present during our stay. LisätietojaAito Expedian asiakkaan arvostelu

The staff are incredible here, and the view is spectacular no matter where your room is. However, they were undergoing construction to remodel the hotel--and since the renovations weren't finished yet, the rooms showed some wear/use.

"Staying over"
We come to the Turtle Bay Resort at least once a year and will be back before this year is out. We usually stay at the Halekulani for a week on the other side and then with you guys. When Flossie came in we had to get off the island or be stuck there so our plans changed and we had to leave early. We could not get a late check out no matter what. That […] was deeply disappointing to us as we've always been 'gifted' by wonderful people, service and facility there. Even fully booked there ought to have been some way to accommodate our needs. I could not even buy another night so we could stay until three instead of leaving at noon. So we sat at the airport in Honolulu instead of laying around your wonderful pool. Come on guys! We are cheering for you as you come off this redo, not against you. You are our guys! And gals! LisätietojaAito Hotels.comin asiakkaan arvostelu

"Really Nice, but REALLY expensive."
I wanted to splurge for a few nights of our family vacation, and had always heard how amazing TB was. On the North Shore, it is really your only option for a nice hotel. It's probably the most I've ever spent. (Beware of the list rate, one of my kids is 19, so he had to be added as a 3rd adult, for a lot more. TIP-if they are still your 'kids' and you […] all stay in one room...don't list them as adults. That was stupid of me. I never even saw any staff who would have had reason to question his age. The hotel is currently under renovation, but the work in the other wing never affected us. The new rooms are lovely, and they do all have beautiful views, ours was over the pool and turtle bay itself with the mountains in the background. We spent a lot of time off the property exploring the rest of the North Shore and down into Haleiwa, but we had coffee and walked on the beach in the early mornings and sat out at the Hang Ten bar in the evening for a snack and a drink and to watch the sunset. I got the impression from the website that there was a lot going on all the time but it actually seemed pretty quiet. We never did partake of any of the rental activitie If the resort itself is a 'spurge' for you...then plan to eat most or all of your meals elsewhere. The restaurants are ridiculously expensive! They have a 'Keurig' in the the room...but I think that a resort of this caliber could include a couple cups of the good stuff from the 'coffee shop' in the lobby!

AUBURN, Alabama – Auburn's list to be the school's next football coach is now more than a half-dozen names long, but no one has been interviewed for the vacancy created when the school fired Gene Chizik on Sunday.
A couple of new names have emerged in TCU coach Gary Patterson and Boise State coach Chris Petersen.
Auburn interviewed Patterson four years ago when it hired Chizik. Patterson has a 116-34 record at TCU in 13 seasons.

Now that you've had the chance to watch it like 112 times, tell us what you think is the BEST part?
I thought I heard or saw that the Part 2 isn't going to be out until next November?? Can anyone verify this?? I sure hope we don't have to wait that long since we know they filmed them both (Part 1 & 2) at the same time.
Oh, and best part of the Trailer for Part 1 is when Edward tells Bella: "Last Night was the best part of my whole existance"!!! ---What woman/girl wouldn't want to hear that spoken to them on their "first time" together with the one they love !!
I love the whole movie, the more I watch it the more I like it. I've read all the books at least 20 times, they're wonderful!
My favorite part is the wedding.
i love the whole movie espically were bella turns into a vampire that looked awsome and pretty cool 2
The whole movie is my favorite!!! Except the part where the werewolves talk!!!
my favorite part is the wedden day just the way they looked at each other made every thing looks grate dont u think
my favrite part is when renesemee is born and robert and kristen are both smiling i feel bad for kristen
If you haven't read the books....they are a MUST....I didn't see any of the movies til Breaking Dawn part 1 came out and now....I have read all the books, twice, working on my 3rd time. I have all the movies and all the soundtracks plus I have a copy of Twilight on audio to listen to in my car when I'm driving. It's amazing how I listened to my class mates talking about these movies and books when I was in nursing school and thought they were crazy....and now I understand. I'm in my 50's and not ashamed to say I am a HUGE TWILIGHT fan.
Definitely TEAM EDWARD...cause every woman/girl wants at sometime in her life for a man to love her the way Edward loves Bella...see's her the way he see's Bella and is willing to give up everything to be with her.
when they look into each others eyes and say "I love you"

The Best Science Writing Online 2012
Showcasing more than fifty of the most provocative, original, and significant online essays from 2011, The Best Science Writing Online 2012 will change the way...
Read More »
Despite their names--Brightly and Leitner--this is a dark story. Wayne Brightly was a social studies teacher at the John Philip Sousa School in New York City, with a conspicuous record of nonachievement that included multiple failures of his teaching certification exam. Rubin Leitner had spent part of his life homeless and reportedly has Asperger's syndrome, a developmental disorder marked by "an obsessive focus on a subject of interest, poor relationships and communication difficulties"--according to, well, me, in the Anti Gravity of August 2003.
But Asperger's is not necessarily an impediment to brainy accomplishments. As that 2003 column noted, British researchers theorized that Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein both had the condition. Leitner shined intellectually as well, enough to receive an advanced degree in history. Brightly had already enlisted Leitner as a tutor for the former's previous efforts at the teaching exam. Having successfully learned from that failing experience, Brightly allegedly intimidated Leitner into taking the exam in his place last summer. Brightly reportedly paid Leitner two dollars for his services, which would cover a one-way subway trip to the test site.
Brightly's scheme broke down, however, when Leitner did so much better than Brightly had in his prior attempts at the test that authorities got suspicious. In March the cover got blown off of Brightly's caliginous caper, and after getting the third degree he's facing charges of first-degree coercion.
Now, I told you that story so I could tell you this one. There's been something on my chest for more than 25 years that I feel I have to confess, especially as the statute of limitations has surely run out by now: while still misspending my youth, I adopted a false name, learned a fake signature and got paid to take the infamous Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, for someone else.
(Forgive this digression into personal history, but I've been listening to a lot of old Jean Shepherd radio broadcasts, now available on the Web, in which the humorist tells stories based on his own feckless childhood. He also often discusses science--one show is devoted to quarks, one to a contemplation of the seismological effect of millions of people jumping up and down in unison, and one to symmetry theory, in which Shepherd refers to the aforementioned John Philip Sousa: "You can play The Stars and Stripes Forever from either end, and it sounds the same.")
Anyway, my transgression would have been far worse had I been taking the SAT for an actual person. But I was enlisted to take part in this scheme by a writer hoping to pose as a freshman at the same university from which he had graduated and discuss the experience from the vantage point of the 30-year-old he then was. He had already gotten a friend in some school system to create a student identity out of thin air. He now needed to get that fictional student some SAT scores to continue to navigate the college entrance bureaucracy.
So one blustery Saturday morning I drove to a school reasonably far from my home turf, to avoid being recognized, and endeavored to put up numbers good enough for admission into the writer's college of choice but not so good as to be memorable. Instead I wound up being stupidly smart, doing better than I was supposed to--when the test results arrived, the writer called me and said, "We're going to jail, you idiot." (He also paid me only half my promised fee, which was still well more than what Leitner got.) In fact, I even did significantly better than when I previously took the SATs for real, for myself. In that first effort I scored much higher on the math side than on the verbal exam, which could explain why these columns may be forgettable, but they almost always exactly meet the assigned count of 650 words. Seriously, they do.

"The world is either in your hand or at your throat" sings Julian Casablancas on 'Razorblade', as he casually assaults the microphone on the first night of The Strokes' UK tour.

15 Jul 2004 - REVIEW
So what happens when an indie band goes major league? how can you stay cool when your date's a Charlie's Angel? how important is the boy/girl song in a flag-waving time? and like Alexander The Great, do you weep when you have no more worlds to conquer? in addressing these and other pressing questions of the day, The Strokes salute John Lennon, Bob Dylan and their own undying band of brotherliness.

End of a Tyrant: As Word Of Gaddafi's Death Spread, the Cheers Rang Out By David Usborne, Kim Sengupta, Portia Walker, Cahal Milmo and Richard Hall Friday, 21 October 2011 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/end-of-a-tyrant-as-word-of-gaddafis-death-spread-the-cheers-rang-out-2373791.html In the end the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan dictator who had seemed to slip from the grasp of the rebels who forced him out of power, was as undignified and brutal as those of so many of his enemies over the years. After the stunning rumours yesterday spiralled into the news that he had been killed, video footage surfaced that showed him being dragged, bloodied but alive, from a truck and into a murderous throng. He did not emerge. Later footage showed his lifeless body in a pool of blood on the pavement, apparently with a bullet hole in the temple. A senior Libyan official said DNA tests were being carried out to confirm the body was his. The National Transitional Council later issued a statement saying the ex-dictator had not been executed but had perished in crossfire. If Gaddafi died like a dog in a gutter, most in Libya were not grieving. "We confirm that all the evils, plus Gaddafi, have vanished from this beloved country," the Prime Minister, Mahmoud Jibril, declared in Tripoli, attempting to put a lid on the uncertainty surrounding the news that had already been rumoured so many times before. "It's time to start a new Libya, a united Libya," Mr Jibril added. "One people, one future." The sense of a transformative day was augmented by the news that Gaddafi's Defence Minister, Abu Bakr Yunis, had also been killed, and claims of the death of the dictator's son Mo'tassim. Another son, Saif al-Islam - once the regime's most visible face of defiance and his father's heir - was also rumoured to be dead, though there were other claims he had been captured or cornered. Although many competing narratives emerged, it was at least possible to say last night that the chain of events leading to his death began when Western intelligence intercepted communications that suggested he was in Sirte. Defence sources yesterday told The Independent that NTC fighters had focused all their energies on penetrating the stronghold after they were informed of the communications between commanders of the remnants of the regime forces. Most versions of events agreed that Gaddafi and his supporters attempted to flee the city in an 80-vehicle convoy in the early morning but were hit by Nato air strikes carried out by French warplanes at around 8.30am local time. A US surveillance drone is also reported to have fired a missile at the convoy. Fifteen pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machine guns were destroyed in the strike, leaving some 50 bodies strewn across the grass where they were hit. Gaddafi fled into a copse of trees and hid with bodyguards in a concrete culvert under a nearby highway. A group of fighters gave chase. "At first we fired at them with anti-aircraft guns, but it was no use," said Salem Bakeer, while being feted by his comrades near the road. "Then we went in on foot. One of Gaddafi's men came out waving his rifle in the air and shouting 'surrender', but as soon as he saw my face he started shooting at me," he told Reuters. "Then I think Gaddafi must have told them to stop. 'My master is here, my master is here,' he said. 'Muammar Gaddafi is here and he is wounded'," Bakeer said. The former Libyan leader was then dragged out and placed on to the truck from which he would later be dragged. Western officials insist that the Nato missions, which included RAF reconnaissance aircraft, were not directly responsible for the death of the former dictator. But the decision to carry out the air strikes on the fleeing convoy was the result of a change in policy by Nato in response to the intercepted communications. Previously the Western forces had avoided such attacks because such targets were seen as posing no immediate threat. According to some NTC sources, it was some of Gaddafi's bodyguards, cornered and threatened with execution, who revealed his whereabouts. In Brussels, Nato hinted that the death of Gaddafi could signal the beginning of a winding-down of the international military operation in the skies over Libya. One official suggested that a "phasing-out" of operations could begin in the coming weeks. The official said: "Today's events will prompt the military chain of command to make a new assessment... If the decision is to end operations, it will be done through a gradual phasing-out. Military operations are very rarely terminated. One takes the time to be absolutely sure the fire is out." When questioned on the role British forces will play in Libya now that Gaddafi has been killed, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said: "We have to let the dust settle and see what happens with any remaining Gaddafi loyalists. Our part in Nato operations will continue until they are no longer required." The final spasms of the violence in Sirte were relayed to a stunned nation and to rapt television viewers around the world. Mobile phone video footage was played on news channels globally, apparently taken by a rebel fighter, showing the bloodied and stripped corpse of Gaddafi being tumbled in a sheet. He was 69 years old and had ruled for 42 years. While euphoria exploded on the streets of Tripoli and other Libyan cities, David Cameron said it was a day to remember all of Gaddafi's victims, a reference to the Libyan people and to the victims of the Pan Am 103 bombing in 1988. He added: "People in Libya today have an even greater chance after this news of building themselves a strong and democratic future." The elimination of Gaddafi also meant a pre-election boost for President Barack Obama after a long summer with scant sign that the rebels would prevail. Speaking at the White House last night, he said that a dark shadow had been lifted. "This is a momentous day in the history of Libya," he said, before addressing the country's people directly with the words: "You have won your revolution." News of Gaddafi's grisly end brought instant joy to families of the Pan Am victims. "I hope he's in hell with Hitler," said Kathy Tedeschi, who lost her husband, Bill Daniels, in the bombing. "I saw it on the TV... I just can't stop crying, I am so thrilled," said Mrs Tedeschi, 62, who had three children with Mr Daniels. "I am sure [Gaddafi] was the one who pushed to have this done, the bombing." Amnesty International, on the other hand, called for an inquiry into the manner of Gaddafi's death. The death of Gaddafi and the end of hostilities in Sirte mean Libya's interim government can declare the country fully liberated and start preparations for elections. "It's a great victory for us," said NTC military spokesman Abdul Rahman Busin. "Sirte has officially fallen, which means the liberation of Libya can be announced in the next 24 to 48 hours." Mr Busin said it was unlikely pro-Gaddafi fighters would continue to resist. "They were fighting for him [Gaddafi]. There's no reason for them to fight any more," he said. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

Talk with your adult children today. Take the worry out of tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- It's a rite of passage for parents to have "The Talk" with their kids about the beginning of life (a.k.a. the birds and the bees). As parents get older, they need to have another important talk with their children about the later years of life. AARP's The Other Talk: A Guide to Talking with Your Adult Children About the Rest of Your Life (McGraw-Hill Professional; September; Original paperback and eBook formats: $15) helps parents and their children create a partnership to plan for the years to come, guiding them through important conversations and decisions about finances, medical care, and day-to-day living -- before a crisis happens.
Author Tim Prosch wrote the book after extensive research and multiple focus groups and from personal experience about conversations that most families don't have until it's too late. Prosch wants to help parents take the initiative to have an open and honest dialogue about the issues and decisions that their family will confront in the later years of the parents' lives. The Other Talk places the responsibility for taking action with the parents and encourages them to take the proactive approach of initiating discussions and preparing their children emotionally and psychologically. The Other Talk helps parents take control of their lives so when the time comes, their kids can make informed decisions based on their parents' wants and needs.
"On the surface, The Other Talk sounds like it is about being a great parent, about preparing your kids for one of life's great challenges. And it is," said Prosch. "But it also carries with it the added benefit of freeing you and your family to focus on getting the most out of the years ahead."
The Other Talk is an essential resource that will help families begin an open dialogue about the future, make better-informed decisions, and focus on getting the most out of the rest of their time together.
Tim Prosch is president of the marketing firm Contact Points, Ltd. He previously taught at Northwestern' s Kellogg School of Marketing. Prosch and his work have been featured in national media, including the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, CNBC, and more.

NEW YORK (AP) - Standard & Poor's says the government plans to file a lawsuit alleging wrongdoing by the agency when it gave high ratings to mortgage-backed securities that later plunged in value and fueled the 2008 financial crisis.
S&P said Monday that it has been told by the Department of Justice that it intends to file a civil lawsuit focusing on S&P's ratings on some mortgage-backed securities in 2007.
The ratings agency denies any wrongdoing and says any lawsuit would be without factual or legal merit.
There was no immediate comment from the Justice Department.
