Firefighters look through the scene of a fire that destroyed a mobile home and killed two people in Indian Lake Wednesday, Jan. 30.
New York State Police today released the named of the two people killed in the Jan. 30 fire at 197 Pratt Road in Indian Lake.
Both were residents of the mobile home: Anna M. Tracey, 71, and Roy J. Tracey Sr.,76. Autopsies were performed the same day as the fire at the Nathan Littauer Hospital Morgue by Dr. Jungeun Lee. Police are saying they have been "tentatively" identified; positive identification is pending further forensic examination.
"We believe it is them because they lived there, and the couple hasn't been seen or heard from since the day of the fire," said State Police Lt. Brent Davison, based in Ray Brook. "Because they were too badly burned to be identified, they will have to be identified by DNA tests or dental records."
Dr. Lee ruled the immediate cause of death to be smoke inhalation due to a fire. Hamilton County Coroner Donald Townsend ruled the manner as accidental.
On the day of the fire at about 3:45 a.m., the Traceys' son, Roy Tracey Jr., who lives across the street from their Pratt Road residence, called the fire department to report his parents' home was on fire, according to Davison.
"He said he had seen the smoke and tried to get in but was unsuccessful," Davison said.
At 5 a.m. Jan. 30, State Police in Indian Lake were called to assist local fire departments after the emergency personnel revealed at least one body was found inside the home.
Preliminary investigation revealed that two people were located, deceased, inside the residence. The mobile home was completely destroyed down to the floors with only a metal furnace and small portions of the walls left standing.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated, and the New York State Fire Cause and Origin Team are assisting in the investigation. Davison said at this time there no evidence of foul play was involved and the fire appears to be accidental.

Officer Hovsep Sarkisian was dispatched to the Walmart on Post Road on Oct. 24 for a report of two women being detained for shoplifting. A loss prevention agent for the store told Sarkisian he watched the two women while they were in the electronics department. He said the older woman was in a motorized chair as she took a set of headphones from a shelf and removed the security device and covered the box with her handbag and then went to the shoes section, where she removed the contents of the box and concealed them in her purse. He said he also saw her take a knit hat and concealed that in the younger woman's handbag. He said they both exited the store without attempting to pay for the concealed goods. He said they stopped them outside and both subjects were uncooperative and they called police. Sarkisian said police recovered $149.94 from the older woman and $10 worth from the younger woman. Sarkisian said he viewed the surveillance video that showed the two women doing exactly what the loss prevention agent described and additionally showed the younger woman blocking the view of the older as she removed the security device.
Sarkisian said both women were arrested and taken to headquarters. Sarkisian said it "should be noted that June [the older woman] has a service dog, which is a small Chihuahua. The proper service animal identification card was affixed to the dog's vest, which she stated that she could not be separated from due to a medical condition, that being a seizure." He said she also warned him that the dog is aggressive, does nip "and does bite officers or other people who the dog may not be familiar with." Sarkisian said, in consideration of that, he handcuffed the woman in front, "so she was able to hold the dog in her hands."
He said he seat-belted the younger suspect, identified as Chanda Goodinson, 19, of 99 Tell St., Providence, but was unable to seat-belt the older woman, identified as June Corse, 49, of 187 Drury Rd., Solon, Maine, because the little dog might bite his face. Sarkisian said the woman told him she was going to complain about him. "You called me a retard because I have a dog. You are making fun of me because I am disabled and you did not seat-belt me in. I am bouncing around back here. I cannot wait to make a complaint against you." Corse was later released on $1,000 surety bail [because she was from out of state].
A homeless Cranston man was charged with felony shoplifting in Warwick and violating the conditions of his bail for an earlier charge of felony shoplifting in Cranston on Oct. 24. Justin J. Prete, 26, who has a history of drug possession, was arrested outside of the Target store in Warwick Mall after he attempted to flee loss prevention personnel from the store. Officer Aaron Steere said they recovered $118.44 worth of clothing from Prete. He was charged and held for arraignment.
Officer Aaron Kay reported taking custody of a Providence man who was detained by loss prevention personnel at the Best Buy store on Pace Boulevard on Oct. 23. Kay said he reviewed surveillance video of the suspect opening a package and then concealing the contents before leaving the store without paying. Xavier Alturo Perez, 25, of 196 Washington St., was charged with shoplifting a $19.99 Lightening cable and later released with a summons.
Officer Nicholas Reay reported he stopped a car that was wanted in connection with a shoplifting incident at Dick's Sporting Goods on Bald Hill Road on Oct. 23. He said the woman admitted she had been at Dick's but denied stealing anything. She said she was accused of stealing but she gave the items back and added that she just went outside with a jacket and hat that weren't paid for to get her wallet. A manager at Dick's identified Myra E. Dacosta, 29, of 182 Shannock Hill Rd., Richmond, as the woman he led back into the store who removed the unpaid for items and left the store without coming back to pay for them. She was held for the next session as a probation violator.
Dino L. Celseti, 42, of 42 Charles St., Cranston, was arrested for the second time this month and charged with shoplifting watches and fragrances from a department store. Loss prevention at Macy's in Warwick Mall told police they saw him taking bottles of fragrance out of boxed sets and then taking watches and concealing them in his pockets before leaving the store and being chased by loss prevention as he tossed the stolen items away. Loss prevention said he took $402 worth of goods. He was held without bail as a bail violator from an arrest on Oct. 2.
Officer Zachary Davis reported he was on patrol around 12:30 a.m. on Oct. 20 when he clocked a car doing 65 miles per hour heading north on Post Road. He said he turned on his lights and siren and pulled the car over at Bigelow Court. He said he asked the driver why he was going so fast and he replied that he was being followed. He said the driver appeared to be drunk and he asked him to take a field sobriety test, which he did. Davis said he failed the test and was taken to headquarters, where he registered a .173 and a .169 blood alcohol content on the breath test. Michael J. Richards, 35, of 21 Michigan Ave., Warwick, was later released with a summons to a sober adult.
Officer Adam Arico said he almost had a head-on collision with a white pickup truck that was driving on the wrong side of West Shore Road around 4:40 a.m. on Oct. 20. He said he followed the truck and saw it travel around 1,000 to 1,500 feet on the wrong side of the road and the driver seemed confused. He said the driver asked him why he was stopped and he still had no idea he had been on the wrong side of the road. He said he smelled of alcohol and appeared to be intoxicated. He said he took the keys out of the ignition and asked the driver to take a field sobriety test and the driver failed it. Andrew Smiley, 26, of 2890 Tower Hill Rd., North Kingstown, was taken to headquarters, where he refused a breath test. He was charged with DUI, refusal and laned roadway violation and then transported to Kent Hospital for detox when they couldn't find a sober adult to take custody of him.

Postgame Press Conference Video
Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's basketball squad completed a weekend home sweep in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) play with an impressive 86-70 win over visiting Tiffin on Saturday (Dec. 8) afternoon inside FSU's Jim Wink Arena.
The Bulldogs, who had opened the homestand with a win over Ohio Dominican on Thursday night in Big Rapids, had four players reach double-figure scoring in topping what most believed was a much-improved Tiffin team coming into the contest.
Sophomore guard Drew Lehman (Toledo, Ohio/Catholic Central) scored a team-high 20 points and nailed four three-pointers in leading the Bulldogs to the victory. He also came up with six rebounds, two assists and two steals in another solid all-around effort.
FSU also received 18 points, six rebounds and three assists from senior guard Kenny Brown (Farmington Hills/Harrison) with senior forward Daniel Sutherlin (Detroi/Renaissance) totaling 13 points. Meanwhile, redshirt freshman center Jared Stolicker (Middleville/Thornapple-Kellogg) had his best game to date as a Bulldog with 11 points and a game-high 14 rebounds in a double-double effort.
Ferris State shot 41.7% for the day and connected on 48.3% of its second-half field goal attempts after building a four-point lead at the break. FSU increased its lead to as many as 19 points in the second half with 2:30 remaining after opening the second half on a 8-0 run.
Senior guard Joe Graessle did his best to keep the Dragons in the game by scoring a game-high 24 points on 7-of-22 shooting. He converted only one-of-eight three-point tries though as Tiffin shot only 34.3% for the game and hit only two-of-17 (11.8%) treys.
Besides Graessle, the Dragons had only one other player reach double-figure scoring as Michael Bouley chipped in with 10 points in the losing effort.
The contest featured 72 free throws as the two teams combined for 50 fouls on the day. FSU finished 29-of-42 (69%) from the stripe, which included a 23-of-33 (69.7%) showing in the second half. The Dragons were 22-of-30 (73.3%) at the line.
Despite being pressured up the floor most of the day, the Bulldogs managed to turn the ball over only eight times in the contest and held a 15-6 edge in points off turnovers after forcing 13 Tiffin miscues. Ferris State also posted a slim 21-17 margin in second chance scoring despite the fact the Dragons had 22 offensive boards to only 15 for the Bulldogs.
Overall, Tiffin held a 49-41 rebounding advantage for the game.
Ferris State recorded 14 assists with sophomore guard Dietrich Lever (Detroit/Canton) dishing out a game-high five for the Bulldogs to go with nine points and two steals in the contest. FSU also had seven steals and six blocked shots, including four from Stolicker.
The Dragons registered six assists, five steals and a pair of blocks in the game.
The Bulldogs never trailed in the contest as they beat the Dragons for the eighth time in nine all-time series' matchups. The win was also FSU's eighth in a row over Tiffin.
Ferris State improved to 4-3 overall with the win and the two-time defending GLIAC North Division Champions pushed their league record to 3-1 overall with a second consecutive victory. Tiffin fell to 3-5 on the year and 1-3 in conference action.
The Bulldogs will be back in action next Saturday, Dec. 15, as they open up a three-game road swing to wrap up the 2012 calendar year against the Findlay Oilers at Croy Gymnasium in Findlay, Ohio. Tipoff is set for 1 p.m. (ET). FSU will also visit Hillsdale on Dec. 17 for a league contest followed by a non-conference regional game at Indianapolis on Dec. 19.
Ferris State's next home contest at Wink Arena is not until Thursday, Jan. 3, when the Bulldogs entertain league newcomer Malone for the first-time ever at 6 p.m. (ET).

I heard excerpts of this today on Freethought Radio. It's called God on Trial and here's a synopsis:
Faced with the terrors of Auschwits, a group of prisoners puts God on trial for abandoning His chosen people. Sir Antony Sher, Dominic Cooper, and Stellan Skarsgard all star in this riveting drama about believers and non-believers coming to terms with unprecedented evil.
This movie is awesome! It is not an atheist movie, it is a movie about people and faith, but I was still moved by it very much. I got to see online before it got shut down.
There is still a clip here.
I watched this on the PBS a few weeks back.
This original teleplay takes place in pretty much one room and feels like it was a play written half a century ago… it's well-written and well-acted, and hits on many of the points many on this forum have hit upon once or twice. Definitely worth watching when it pops up as a presentation on the masterpiece theatre.
This is a very powerful movie.
I'd like to know how it ends. Do they all end up believing god works in mysterious ways?
THIS tells you what goes on, but doesn't reveal the verdict.

HARVARD – A former District 50 school psychologist has sued two district administrators, seven current or former school board members, and an Illinois State Board of Education consultant, alleging harassment and defamation.
Peter Koehn alleges the 10 defendants harassed and defamed him and made him the subject of "adverse employment actions."
Koehn was fired in January 2011, a few months after he was the catalyst of an Office of Civil Rights investigation into whether school administrators changed the individualized education plans of special education students without approval from the students' parents or special education teachers.
Koehn, who filed the suit without an attorney, alleges that the defendants – which include Superintendent Lauri Tobias, Harvard Junior High School Principal Margaret Segerston and ISBE Consultant Julie Evans – took actions to limit Koehn's right to free speech.
In the months after his speaking up about student IEPs, Koehn was given a series of tasks that lacked a clear objective, he said.
"They set it up so I couldn't succeed," Koehn said. "They told me to do something, but they wouldn't define it. And if I asked for a definition, they called it insubordination."
Koehn is asking for more than $1 million in damages from each defendant.
The Office of Civil Rights investigation ended in an agreement under which the district would hold meetings for students who had their classroom placements changed during the summer 2010 or during the 2010-11 school year as a result of an amendment to their IEPs.
Documents from the investigation, obtained by the Northwest Herald in the summer of 2011, showed that 21 students' IEPs were changed in the fall of 2010. But the changes only amounted to a reduction in class time by about six minutes.
Koehn maintains the Office of Civil Rights didn't stick around long enough to uncover the full story. He said some disabled students were pulled from smaller special education classes and put in a larger study hall where they received less individualized attention.
He said those changes were made months before any paperwork about them appeared in the children's IEP folders. When he brought this to the attention of the board and Superintendent Tobias, he was assured the paperwork had been completed and nothing illegal had taken place, Koehn said.
"Plus there are forms filled out in November – four or five months after the placement changes – where they illegally changed the IEPs to match the placement changes," he said.
District 50 spokesman Bill Clow declined to respond to Koehn's allegations. The district doesn't comment on pending lawsuits, he said.
Koehn alleges that his mistreatment began in October 2010 and ran through February 2011. A second Office of Civil Rights investigation into whether Koehn was fired for being a whistle-blower still is ongoing, he said.
The lawsuit is scheduled to appear for a status hearing in a Rockford federal court Friday, Koehn said.

History Now 11 (Spring 2007)
American Cities
From the Editor
Urbanization is a major theme in modern American history and it is intimately connected to such events as the revolutions in transportation and manufacturing and the expansion of our borders to the Pacific Ocean and the Rio Grande. In the colonial era, America's cities were primarily Atlantic seaboard ports, but canals and railroads created major metropolises in the center of the country, and westward expansion added cities like San Francisco, San Antonio, and Denver. Today, America is an urban society. Yet each city and each town in our...More »

Any doubts regarding Oracle's stewardship of Java were dispelled yesterday, as Ellison and company have made it clear that they are very interested in making Java an even stronger alternative to .Net, writes Fatal Exception's Neil McAllister. "We have the money to invest in Java, because Java is a very profitable business for us already," said Ellison, whose plan for integrating Sun technology is ambitious, serving an even more ambitious goal: to create a soup-to-nuts tech juggernaut akin to IBM in the 1960s. Java will remain a key component of this push, with a new Java runtime, greater modularity, better support for non-Java languages, improved performance, and multicore-optimized garbage collection in the works, McAllister writes. Also revealed are plans to unify the Java SE and Java ME programming models and APIs and to enable JVM to run natively on hypervisors, allowing developers to run multiple Java instances on a single virtualized server.

The sad, strange phenomenon of China's so-called "leftover women" — women criticised for being unmarried over the age of 27 — has left many around the world scratching their heads.Perhaps the saddest thing is that, the Chinese government and other establishments seem to encourage the concept. For example, China's All-China Women's Federation, a group founded in 1949 by the Communist Party to protect women's rights, has this great advice on its website:
Pretty girls don't need a lot of education to marry into a rich and powerful family, but girls with an average or ugly appearance will find it difficult. These kinds of girls hope to further their education in order to increase their competitiveness. The tragedy is, they don't realise that as women age, they are worth less and less, so by the time they get their M.A. or Ph.D., they are already old, like yellowed pearls.
When you think about it, any kind of hysteria over unmarried Chinese women seems absurd. It's well known that the Chinese government's one-child policy has left China with far more males than females — one report from 2007 suggested that there would be 30 million more men of marriageable age than women by 2020. 11 of the 20 richest self-made women in the world are Chinese, according to Forbes.
So why worry about the women who are not married?
Perhaps the best explanation we've seen so far comes from Mary Kay Magistad of PRI's the World: the "leftover women" are simply too high quality.
"There is an opinion that A quality guys will find B quality women, B quality guys will find C quality women, and C quality men will find D quality women," Huang Yuanyuan, a 29-year-old unmarried Chinese woman tells her. "The people left are A quality women and D quality men. So if you are a leftover woman, you are A quality."
These "A quality" women have often worked and studied hard for much of their lives, leaving their romantic lives til later. "While you're at university your parents constantly discourage you from having relationships; they tell you to focus on your studies," one so-called "leftover woman" told the Telegraph last year.
The problem is that these "A quality" women are exactly who China wants to be getting into relationships early, Leta Hong-Fincher, an American doctoral student at Tsinghua University's Department of Sociology, tells Magistad.
"The Chinese population planning policy used to officially have a law promoting eugenics; they actually had the word 'eugenics' in the name," Hong-Fincher, who has written about the imbalance before, says. "Now they've changed it, because they recognise that's kind of offensive. But that's what the family planning policy is."
The aim is twofold — not only to have the "best" people procreating, but also to stop there being a large number of unsatisfied male elites.

Data Protection Commissioner publishes new Data Protection Code of Practice for the Insurance Sector
The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner, today 20 August, published a data protection Code of Practice for the insurance sector in Ireland. The Data Protection Commissioner has approved the Code under Section 13 of the Data Protection Acts.
The Code was prepared against a backdrop of significant public concern arising from media reports last year that personal information held by the Gardaí and by the Department of Social & Family Affairs was being routinely accessed by private investigators acting on behalf of insurance companies. This was confirmed by the Office's own investigations of insurance companies at the time. The Code is the latest stage in the response of the Office to those issues and follows the launch last year of a data protection code of practice for An Garda Síochána - http://www.garda.ie/faq.html#C3 and the publication in recent weeks of an extensive data protection audit conducted in the Department of Social & Family Affairs in January of this year - http://www.welfare.ie/press/pr08/pr310708.html
The Code was the subject of extensive discussion with the Irish Insurance Federation and individual insurance companies. The Code provides a clear framework for insurance companies to process their customer data in accordance with the Data Protection Acts and will also act as an assessment tool for the examination of any complaints received by the Data Protection Commissioner in relation to the handling of personal data within the insurance sector.
Deputy Data Protection Commissioner, Gary Davis indicated that, "We have made it a priority to bring this Code to a conclusion. The insurance sector holds extensive personal data, some of it extremely sensitive, on a large part of the population. I hope and expect that the publication of the Code will bring about improvements in data protection compliance in the insurance sector that benefits both the sector and the consumer. The Code clarifies how data protection rules apply specifically in the insurance sector making it simpler for the sector to meet its obligations in relation to its handing of personal information."
He added, "I expect that the Code will help consumers by removing some of the mystery of how their personal data is used in the insurance sector and thereby better informing them of what standards they should expect in this respect".

Notes for Editors
The Data Protection Acts provide for the preparation of sector-specific codes of practice to allow for a better understanding of the requirements of the Acts. This is a realisation that in some instances the basic statutory data protection requirements as they are applied within particular sectors can benefit from more detail. The provisions of the Data Protection Acts allow for sectors themselves to bring forward codes, for the Data Protection Commissioner to propose a code and even, should the circumstances warrant it, for the imposition of a code with statutory effect on a particular sector, following approval of it by the Oireachtas. Equally it is open for any code agreed in a consensus fashion with a particular sector to be given a statutory basis should that be deemed appropriate.
This Code provides, inter alia, for:
- improvements in information and options available to customers on the use of their personal data
- the use by insurers of only licensed private investigators and that they contractually engage the private investigator on the basis that the private investigator will comply with applicable Data Protection legislation
- specific periods for which customer data may be held and used
- the circumstances in which personal data may be shared with other bodies
- procedures for keeping data secure
- ensuring that only necessary information is sought by insurance companies

Haines, Lefty Martin, Glenn Fortune, Rita Ramsey, Bob Kreutz, Linda Phelps,
Erika Baxter, Norinne Richardson, Robin Beamon (JO Presentation) Nancy Seifert,

Nancy asked for approval of the agenda. Additions made. Agenda approved.
Minutes approved from the February teleconference and December meeting. The
minutes will be put on the web site.
A new form for Pole Vaulting was presented from Pat Pretty showing name,
weight, pole rating and signature of coach and athletic director. This form will
be implemented at the Youth and Junior Olympic Meets.
The Youth National Championship needs to be looked into, as far as raising
the numbers. We may consider it being held by USATF or possibly having the
different Zones holding it. Bob Flint and Mark will look into the possibilities.
Information for all USATF Youth meets is on the Web site. Online registration
is being tried for the Youth Meet in Buffalo. Mark passed out samples of the new
medals that will be used this year for the Youth Meets.
Erika asked that we go back to using certificates of participation for the
Youth Meets. It was suggested they be put in the Packets handed out to the
athletes. This will be done at the meets starting this year.
Should we require USATF membership at the preliminary meets? This is an
Association decision.
Ray Vandersteen presented a waiver form for the athlete to sign, that would
be good for the calendar year. Board felt it was a good idea. Mark will work on
The concept of a USATF National Youth Club Relay Challenge was mentioned, to
be held during the summer. The Board felt it would be a bad time and also the
question of mixing age groups we felt would not work out.
At the convention the Associations were presented apparel packets. Mark would
like us to consider ordering, and will send information to youth chairs for an
optional Association and Regional JO program T-shirt. The board feels that the
Associations should consider ordering.
Lionel gave a report on the Youth National in Buffalo. Everything is right on
schedule. More hotels are being added to the web site. You can use your credit
card on the web. A mailing is going to each Association to encourage online
Robin gave a presentation on the Junior Olympic Meet in Miami. All is in
order and on schedule. There will be a video board put up at the meet. There
will also be some additional seating put in for the meet.
Bob Flint reported that the Youth National meet for 2004 may have to change
their site. A time frame of six weeks will be given to them to let us know what
they are going to do. Bob will get a letter regarding the above out to the
committee in charge.
Larry presented changes in the forms for the JO meet. These were approved by
the Board. The cross country entry form will be looked at for approval at a
later time. If a problem with advancement comes up this should be worked out
with the Association Youth chair person and the Regional Coordinator, and then
the Zone Rep. If the problem can't be resolved it should then be presented to
the Youth Chair.
Some of the Associations are asking that the entry fees be raised. Lionel
made a motion that the Executive Board make a recommendation at convention that
the maximum entry fees be raised $1.00 across the board for track & field.
Bob Kreutz made a motion that the Executive Board make a recommendation at
convention that the national Cross Country fee be raised to $10.00. Motions
It was suggested that Meet Results from the Youth Meets be given to Regional
Coordinators only upon request to Rita. Larry requested the full results be put
on the USATF web.
The problems at the Cross Country meet in Carrollton were mentioned. Some
felt the boxes too small, and the starting procedure not acceptable, and the
course closed because of inclement weather. The Board concurred that there were
just a few complaints and the overall consensus was that it was a good meet
considering the weather.
USATF events and Association event date conflicts. We need to make this a
rule that Associations and USATF organizations cannot put on events that
conflict with a National meet.
Glenn will present a change in the rule 240 3b regarding the 400 meter track
at the Regional meet. He will request that the "shall" part of the
rule be changed.
Lionel and the Coaches Background Screening Task Force reported they would
like to come up with a generic type of coaches investigation. They will continue
to work on this.
Hali reported that the World Youth team will be selected by end of April or
beginning of May 2003. He discussed the qualifying standards for the athletes
chosen. Bob Flint feels we should take the highest ranked persons. The list of
athletes is being updated based on their best times, etc.
Travel will be done with buses for the athletes only.
Security will be taken care of possibly by the USOC.
Lefty suggested that we have a functional committee regarding the World Youth
Program and have some permanent guidelines as to how matters should be
conducted. Rita and Mark would handle matters from the National Office.
Meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by,
Nancy Seifert
Youth National Secretary

Don't stress about it. If you don't clip in straight away it's no disaster. Just pedal on and get the clip-in done when you're riding smoothly, more relaxed about it aand don't have traffic up your rear.
Your cleats should be set so that you virtually automatically place your foot in the right place to click in.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- Kenya has been hit by bombings and shootings blamed on Somali extremists that have sharpened political tensions as the country braces for ethnic violence in upcoming presidential elections in which two candidates have been charged with crimes against humanity.
The East African state was already on edge amid fears it will be plunged into an orgy of political bloodletting as happened after a disputed presidential poll in December 2007.
"Election-related violence has already started," declared Gabrielle Lynch of Britain's Warwick University, which monitors Kenya's tribal conflict zones.
Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who ran in the fateful 2007 race, is running again in the March 4, election.
The opposing team is Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding president and one of the country's richest men, and his running mate William Ruto, a former Cabinet minister dismissed on suspicion of corruption.
They're leading most opinion polls, even though they're among four Kenyans charged by the International Criminal Court in connection with organizing violence in the bloodletting of early 2008 that followed the last presidential election.
The attacks in Kenya in recent days were seen as retaliation for the country's participation in a yearlong regional military offensive against al-Shabaab militants in neighboring Somalia that drove the Islamists out of their urban strongholds and into the bush.
Kenya hosts more than 500,000 Somali refugees. Most of the attacks that began Sunday occurred in the Eastleigh district of Nairobi where there's a large Somali community with links to al-Shabaab, which is connected to al-Qaida.
Street battles flared in the quarter, known as "Little Mogadishu" after the war-battered Somali capital, in November between Kenyans and ethnic Somalis after a bomb on a minibus killed seven people.
But the spillover of the Somali bloodletting, that's raged for more than two decades in the absence of a functioning government, is probably the least of Kenya's troubles.
Kenyans are consumed by fears they'll be ravaged by another wave of ethnic violence linked to the presidential polling.
In early 2008, as many as 1,200 people were killed and the country, once considered the most stable in the region, and up to 250,000 displaced as Kenya was pushed to the brink of civil war.
Rival tribes like the Kikuyu, the Luo and Kalenjin, which backed different candidates, went on the rampage after incumbent President Mwai Kibaki, a Kikuyu, was declared the winner.
Supporters of his rival, Odinga, largely supported by the Luo and Kalenjin, alleged the voting was rigged. That was widely confirmed by international observers, who said both camps were involved in it.
The bloodletting raged for two months, particularly in the volatile Rift Valley. Under mediation by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Kibaki and Odinga signed a power-sharing pact Feb. 28, 2008, under which Odinga became prime minister.
To this day, it remains unclear who was responsible for the ethnic violence and massive displacement that occurred after the 2007 election.
But Kenyan authorities and Fatou Bensouda, chief prosecutor at the ICC in The Hague, agree that some of the violence was highly organized. That conclusion resulted in the charges against Kenyatta, his 2013 running mate Ruto, and two other Kenyans.
The court alleges the candidates hired criminal gangs who carried out some of the murderous rampages.
If the current opinion polls prove to be accurate come March, when Kibaki must stand down after two terms, Kenyatta and Ruto could be elected president and vice president.
That's an outcome many fear could trigger a new spasm of violence.
It may already have begun.
In August, more than 100 people, including women and children, were slain in ethnic clashes in the Tana River district in eastern Kenya.
Three bombings in Nairobi killed at least 10 people within four weeks, although these may have been linked to the Somali crisis.
In another eruption, heavily armed cattle rustlers -- whose activities are often tribal-related -- attacked police in November, killing dozens of officers.
"The stakes as the country prepares to go to the polls in March could not be higher for both the country and the region," observed John Githongo, a former permanent secretary of governance and ethics.
"Kenya's $34 billion economy is the largest in East Africa, constituting more than half that of the region and 60 percent of its middle class."

George Will reports on a new study by three MIT economics professors that sounds like it has major implications for the debate (judicial and otherwise) over campaign finance reform. According to Will, the study shows that campaign spending as a fraction of national income did not grow during the last nine decades of the 20th century. During this same period, of course, the growth of the regulatory state made government vastly more important as an allocator of wealth and opportunity. Thus, if political contributions are primarily a means of purchasing influence (i.e., rent-seeking) then such contributions should have risen faster than personal income did. The fact that campaign spending remained a function of personal income levels, not total government spending, suggests that the primary reason why people spend money on political elections is the satisfaction of participation, not an attempt to purchase influence. Accordingly, the three professor suggest that "the private benefits bought through the campaign finance system are not an increasing problem for our economy." Will notes that the results of this analysis are consistent with studies of legislative decision-making which show that legislators' voting is almost entirely a function of the legislators' beliefs and the preferences of voters and their party, with interest group contributions having no detectable effect.

A very refreshing article, Paul.
I hear and read so many different views on what are the main factors site owners, or those working with sites, should focus on to achieve a higher level of success.
Of course quality content is one of the first things thrown around in many conversations, often followed by site design(navigation,etc) and making sure a clear purpose(what the site can do(provide)….(what the visitor's needs are…) and the (call to action prompts)..where the two objectives meet…… is provided on the site…
I have seen some sites with great designs and very poor content, that are achieving some really decent success…*which may just be due to people being so visual(vision) orientated….
Also, there are some sites who's content is of a very high standard( a lot of work went into it)…yet, they seem to be struggling….
Going by how I see many sites performing and the way they are set up, I think Branding(site ) and the site owners rep(how they are perceived) can make a huge difference….
