EDMONTON, Alberta -- Benoit Hogue scored with 12 seconds remaining in the first overtime as the Dallas Stars beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 Sunday night in Game 3 of their first-round series.
Hogue scored the winner off a rebound of a shot by Brett Hull.
''I went wide and then cut right to the middle and just put it in,'' said Dallas' Benoit Hogue, who also scored an overtime winner to give the Stars a 2-1 series lead in the playoffs.
Dallas, a 2-1 overtime winner in the first game, leads the Western Conference quarterfinal series 2-1. Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is Tuesday in Edmonton.
In a flurry reminiscent of the 1997 playoffs when Edmonton upset Dallas, the Oilers scored two goals in the final 63 seconds of regulation. Rem Murray's goal with seven seconds left in regulation tied it.
''Every time you play in overtime, you play to win,'' said Hogue, who missed three games late in the season due to a bruised shoulder.
Edmonton's Ryan Smyth scored at 18:57 of the third and cut the Dallas lead to 2-1. Mike Modano led Dallas, scoring a power-play goal in the third period and setting up Sergei Zubov's goal in the first period.
''Coming back and tying it and giving ourselves life and hope in the series and to lose it is devastating,'' Oilers coach Craig MacTavish said.
''Happiness and heartache -- that pretty much spells NHL playoff hockey. We got the latter tonight.''

Sydney LeRoux, the up-and-coming women's soccer star, capped a 3-0 USA victory over Canada Sunday with this terrific goal in stoppage time. The blowout came on Canadian soil, and the post-goal celebration by LeRoux – popping her USA jersey – was not well-received. You see, LeRoux was born in Canada. The celebration didn't sit well with Sportsnet's Craig Forrest who said, "That's way too American for me … They can have her." LeRoux's actions were apparently so stomach-churning for Forrest, he applauded when the referee handed her a yellow card after the celebration.
The social media-savvy LeRoux took to Twitter to let her feelings be known Monday morning:
When you chant racial slurs, taunt me and talk about my family don't be mad when I shush you and show pride in what I represent. #america
— Sydney Leroux (@sydneyleroux) June 3, 2013
This is not the first time LeRoux has been booed by Canadians after she switched allegiances to the country of her father, former Angels pitcher Ray Chadwick. LeRoux played for the Canadian U-20 team before switching to the United States in 2008. She now has 16 goals in 34 caps.
The recent hostilities between the two national teams stem from the 2012 Olympics when the U.S. won 4-3 in the semifinals. The Canadians felt they were screwed by the referee who whistled their goalie for the rare "six second violation" late in the match, which paved the way for the Americans to come back and eventually take home the gold medal.
I'd have thought U.S./Canadian relations would be at an all-time high following Rush's long-awaited induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. [via The National Post]

Last night was my 25th! I had a really amazing and fun birthday with a few really great friends. Currently I'm all about the leather leggings. Zero thoughts were given to my outfit last night but it doesn't show, that's how easy and foolproof leather leggings are. They are the most comfortable bottoms to wear and look good with pretty much everything. Even better, they are so warm yet so sleek; creating the perfect balance for the bulky layering in these cooler months without compromising on warmth.
Below are a few pictures from last night. Lots of food and drinks, a bejewelled thing for the girls, beer pong for the boys, and we ended it with the best cake ever and a helium ballon sing-off. It was a good night :)

He's also a work of science. Out in California, at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California at San Francisco, a geneticist named Katherine Rauen spent seven years teasing apart the DNA of children with CFC, to find the gene that caused it. In January of 2006, nearly 30 years after the syndrome had first been described, she published her findings. There are three billion base pairs of nucleotides in the human chromosomes, which in turn comprise about 25,000 protein-forming genes (and a lot more besides). The mutations that cause CFC only happen for certain in three genes: BRAF, MEK1, MEK2.
They sounded like newly discovered planets to me, as baffling and rarefied as genetics itself. The gene labs at the Comprehensive Cancer Center were lit like the inside of a refrigerator and cluttered with textbooks and tubes and stoppers and scales and micro-array scanners. The scientific papers the geneticists wrote largely for one another had titles such as Keratosis pilaris/ulerythema ophryogenes and 18p deletion: Is it possible that the LAMA1 gene is involved? The geneticists themselves bore the slightly startled air of soldiers who had just emerged from deep jungle, only to be told that the war had been over for 20 years. They were fond of unusual, non-human screensavers: a photograph of a cat, say, asleep in a tiny log-cabin cathouse.
One afternoon, I stepped into an elevator full of young geneticists leaving work for the day. It was Halloween. Two of the female geneticists in the elevator were wearing devil horns on their heads. "Going out tonight?" one of the guys ventured. The women shook their heads no. I can't say I was surprised.
It was all very interesting, but I wanted to know what had gone wrong in my son. I remember the moment Dr. Rauen told me. It was getting on toward dinner and, outside, San Francisco was washed in its standard end-of-day golden light.
"This missense mutation" the one that causes CFC "is one letter [nucleotide] change in the entire gene," she said. "Yup. One letter in the entire gene, which causes one amino acid to change one amino acid, one tiny building block of the entire protein. That's what causes CFC." That brief slip had caused the snaggle of Walker's life.
"And does anyone know why that letter changes?" I asked.
"DNA replicates, but it doesn't replicate with extremely high fidelity. If it replicated and never made a mistake, we would all look the same, right? The good news and the bad news is, if it does make a mistake, it makes a mistake about once every million times. One in every one million base pairs has got a mistake in it. Now, you've got all kinds of proteins and enzymes and stuff that go back and try to find this mistake. So a lot of mistakes you never know about. But sometimes the mistake's not corrected. And when that mistake's not corrected, it causes a change in protein."
Dr. Rauen took a breath and continued. "And that protein behaviour might make our immune system better. It might make our muscles stronger. It could have beneficial effects called evolution. You know, survival of the fittest. But you can have a genetic change that makes a deleterious effect, where it causes a hole in the heart, it causes your immune system to be weak. It might be a beneficial effect, it might be a deleterious effect."
Walker was a deleterious effect. Dr. Rauen didn't put it that way, of course. Indeed, she hurried to assure me that children such as Walker would have enormous value to medicine: Though the CFC genes are found in a cancer-causing protein pathway, CFC children seem not to get cancer.
"We are going to learn so much from these kids," she said. "We are going to learn how to treat them better from knowing their genes. We are going to learn how to care for them better. We are going to learn about cancer from these children. This is a huge discovery on multiple levels."
I thanked Kate Rauen shortly after that, left her office, crossed the street and sat down on a bench to think about what she had said.
The scientific definition of evolutionary success, of a successful random mutation, is one that allows the organism to survive and reproduce. Nature alone would not have allowed Walker to survive. He was an unsuccessful random human mutation.
But Walker wasn't a product of nature alone. He was also a product of modern medical technology drugs, a feeding tube and more drugs. If Dr. Rauen is right and children with Walker's class of syndromes help to unriddle the causes of cancer, he'll be a success not of evolution, but of medical evolution. It was something, anyway.
I looked up then and discovered I was sitting in front of a sculpture: Regardless of History, by an English artist named Bill Woodrow. It was seven feet high and bronze a thin tree, blighted and leafless, stunted and growing out of a rock. But growing.
For weeks after, I resented the very idea of genetics. I didn't resent Kate Rauen her isolation of the genes associated with CFC makes the syndrome easier to diagnose, which means therapies can begin sooner. But the hype around genetics doesn't match its reality. The possibility of a genetic cure for the symptoms of CFC is generations away, even by Dr. Rauen's estimate; and no other doctor I ever met believed that the CFC gene would play much of a role in curing cancer.
"The human genome is an elegant but cryptic store of information," Roderick McInnes told me one afternoon. He's the director of genetics at the Canadian Institute for Health Research. Sickle-cell anemia, he pointed out, was the first "genetic" or molecular disease to be identified, in 1949. Nearly 60 years later, there is still no cure.
You will forgive my pride, I hope: I just didn't like the idea of my son's life reduced to a typing error in a three-billion-long chain of letters, to one dinky nucleotide. The absolutism of genetics offended me. Eventually I came across some prominent geneticists who feel the same way. Craig Venter, who helped to create the Human Genome Project, the only human whose genome has been sequenced fully, says as much in his biography, A Life Decoded. "Genes did not make us, body and mind," he writes.
At the University of Oxford, a renowned gene man named Denis Noble the author of The Music of Life: Biology Beyond the Genome went even further. "The social and ethical implications of understanding a human being from mere genes up are profound," he told me over the telephone from Oxford one morning he had a fantastic accent, one of those cosmically articulate English jobs. "It does seem to me that one of the main effects to have emerged since the bottom-up appeal of genetic science is that, to the extent it unravels the human body, it dehumanizes it."
As for the mind the strange wisp I've looked for in my boy, to only sporadic avail Dr. Noble maintained that it had nothing to do with genes. "At the level of nerve cells and associated molecules," he said, "the mind isn't there. You can't even understand the idea of intentionality without the social networks we exist in, without communication with each other. I think we'll find that the mind lies outside the body, in the networks of social and cultural life."
He preferred the vision of "the Buddhists and the Taoists, who had this notion that the mind was not an object. It was a process."
Dr. McInnes made me see that my problem wasn't with genetics, but with the nature of genetic disease. "There's something about genetic disease and kids," he said. "It's the permanent nature of it, the emotions associated with a mutation: Once you've got it, you've got it. Other diseases, you don't have them for life. I guess it's the inexorable nature of genetic disease that makes it striking. The blueprint's been changed."
And Walker's mind? That is truly unfixable. "The brain has 20 billion neurons," Dr. McInnes said. "Each neuron makes 1,000 contacts and is touched by another 10,000. We're probably never going to understand the brain at the level of individual neurons. We'll probably have to look at it the way astrophysicists approach understanding a billion stars."
That, I find strangely comforting: Lying on my back, gazing up at the random sparkles of Walker's mind and speculating. And crying, of course. Always the fucking crying.
I keep talking to him. I don't assume he understands much, but I do it anyway. Somehow, I hope, the words will rouse him. But of course it's not Walker who needs to keep hearing me talk; it's me who needs to keep talking to Walker. I'm afraid of what will happen if I stop. I keep thinking of that scene at the end of Cormac McCarthy's The Road, when the father is dying and the boy knows it.
You said you wouldn't ever leave me.
I know. I'm sorry. You have my whole heart. You always did. You're the best guy. You always were. If I'm not here, you can still talk to me. You can talk to me and I'll talk to you. You'll see.
Will I hear you?
Yes. You will. You have to make it like talk that you imagine. And you'll hear me. You have to practise. Just don't give up. Okay?

Gardens can help butterflies thrive
Published 12:45 pm, Friday, July 19, 2013
As the population grows and wildlife habitat is taken over by human habitat — subdivisions, shopping centers and highways — gardeners are going to be the salvation of butterflies, said Geyata Ajilvsgi, author of "Butterfly Gardening for Texas" (Texas A&M University Press, $35).
The author and naturalist (her Cherokee name is pronounced gay-uh-TAH ah-juh-LUSK) is familiar to gardeners from her "Wildflowers for Texas" field guide and the first edition of the butterfly gardening book.
Ajilvsgi shared observations about butterfly gardening in a phone conversation last week from her home in Wimberley.
Q. This book is an update to your earlier book "Butterfly Gardening for the South." Why did you decide to write a butterfly gardening book specific to Texas?
A. I wrote the book specifically for Texas in the beginning. The publishing contract changed, and the new publisher wanted me to enlarge the range to include the South. I kept Texas separate in that first edition. The book went out of print and stayed out of print for a while. I just decided to bring it back to Texas and bring it up to date. All the nomenclature was brought up to date, and I added more information.

Q. What did you learn in writing this book?
A. I learned how little I knew. In order to learn even more about what I didn't know, I went to work for a nursery to learn their aspect of butterfly gardening.
What I have learned from the customers is incredible. They're wanting easy plants, easy to grow and easy to maintain and definitely drought-resistant plants.
Q. In the process, did you find new plants that make good additions to the butterfly garden?
A. It was amazing to me that so many new native species are being offered by the nurseries. That's an incredible thing for gardeners because most don't have a place to gather seed or dig plants.
Q. What are some of your favorite plants for a butterfly garden?
A. The ones that have the most nectar, of course. That would be our native prairie verbena. Pentas are absolutely fantastic. Mexican sunflower and trailing purple lantana are great. Purple coneflower and liatris are fabulous. Butterfly bush, of course, is a wonderful standby. Gregg's mistflower, you can't beat that. Those are all for nectar.
Sweet almond verbena is a great shrub. The flowering spikes look like our native bee brush, but the fragrance is incredible. You'll want to plant it somewhere you can go out in the late afternoon with a glass of tea or something and enjoy the fragrance. Butterflies love it.
Q. What about larval food plants?
A. While most butterflies will nectar on a variety of flowers, larval food plants are more specific. A lot of times there's just one larval food plant a butterfly will use. Those you can't have a favorite; you plant for specific butterflies. The black swallowtail will use rue and dill and fennel and parsley. Several butterflies will use wafer ash.
Q. What else can people do to lure butterflies into the garden?
A. Pick a spot in the garden where you can pour down builders sand, scatter some pea gravel over the top of it and keep it moist. ... While butterflies drink nectar, they do need just plain water.
Occasionally pour some old fruit juice on part of that area. You can also mix up old molasses and stale beer. They love stale beer. They need the salts as much as they do just plain water. You'll be amazed at how many butterflies visit it.
Q. We've read about monarch butterfly populations declining. What, in your opinion, is the status of butterflies?
A. The bottom line is we are losing much of our wildlife, not just butterflies. The habitat is being eliminated.
Another problem in the Hill Country is deer. Here, they have eaten the herbs to the extent that I don't know if the plants will come back. Drought everywhere is a big problem. Logging in Mexico is a big, big problem for monarchs. ... on the way north, so much of their habitat has been destroyed.
The yards are going to be the sanctuaries. I urge everybody to plant all the butterfly plants they can possibly get in their yard.

Rural Broadband
Connexin has always been a company driven by entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for technology. We use a next generation approach; utilising wireless and Fibre Optic technologies to bring even the most rural communities access to High-speed broadband.
How Its Done
The steps below explain our standard process when building a SuperFAST broadband network for a rural village like yours. As a general rule of thumb, if there is enough demand for our service, we will come and build the network for you!
Step 1 - Community Interest
Community Interest
The first step is to find out how many people want SuperFAST broadband. With your help or the help of your local parish council, we can carry out a survey to determine feasibility.
Step 2 - Site Survey
Site Survey
Connexin engineers will come to your village and perform a detailed site survey. If you see them around, feel free to ask them any questions that you may have.
Step 3 - Build Plan
Build Plan
Once a site survey is completed, we will take the findings back to our planners to formulate a build plan. This is an important stage for us in making sure things run smoothly.
Step 4 - Community Presentation
Community Presentation
Once a build plan is formulated, we present it to you and your community, so that all parties involved know exactly what is going on and time frames involved. This is the best time for any questions and feedback.
Step 5 - Work Commence
Work Starts
Once the project plan has been signed off and all parties are happy, engineering work will commence. On average, we can usually build a network within 8 weeks.
Step 6 - Fibre Backbone
Fibre Backbone
One of the major steps involved in building a network is the laying of the fibre optic backbone. There may be some digging at this stage.
Step 7 - Wireless Transmitters
Wireless Transmitters
Where needed, we will build wireless transmitter sites (called "nodes"). These ensure high speed Internet is available to everyone in the village.
Don't worry, there is no harmful radiation coming from these transmitters. They use the same frequency that all home routers use to provide WiFi within a house.
Step 8 - Customer Installations
Customer Installations
Once step 7 is completed, we move on to customer installations. This step involves installing a receiver (small dish or router) to your property. To see how it works, check out our video here.
How It Works
Fibre Install
A direct fibre link is installed.
Nodes Build
Nodes are installed on the roof at the highest point so that the wireless signal can be transmitted clearly to customer locations.
Customers Install
A receiver is installed on customers' properties so that the wireless signal can be picked up.
Extra nodes are installed at strategic locations to cover any black spots in the village.
If line of sight for some customers is blocked, they can pick up signal via other nodes as mentioned in point 4.
Why Is SuperFAST. Broadband Important?
Boost Business Competitiveness
SuperFAST. broadband lets you make the most of what the Internet has to offer. It allows businesses to work quicker and smarter. All these add up to greater productivity.
Good For Local Economy
As people are now more inclined to move to areas where there is faster broadband. Having a SuperFAST network in your community can stimulate business growth and hence, lead to creation of new jobs and a strengthened local economy.
Wider Range of Digital Services Available
Its not just for businesses, everyone can benefit greatly from faster broadband speeds. You will be able to download movies in a matter of minutes and music in seconds – allowing you to watch and listen to whatever you want, whenever you want.
Open Doors to New Technology
Faster broadband opens doors to new technologies. One of the most widely used technologies is VoIP. VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. It allows for cheaper and even free calls locally and worldwide by utilising your Internet to make calls.
Flexible Remote Working
Technologies such as VoIP and video conferencing allow businesses to stay in touch cheaply and more efficiently. With most applications now in the Cloud people can work from anywhere.
We Are Green
Our wireless broadband and VoIP services are both built with the environment in mind. Our award winning technology minimises environmental impact by reducing the amount of digging and cabling needed to build these kinds of networks.

Anthony Is Happy To Be a Replacement
Saturday, February 17, 2007
LAS VEGAS, Feb. 16 -- Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony is spending his All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas for the second year in a row. He came here as an escape last February, wanting to distance himself from the carousing in Houston and what he believed was an all-star snub. Having already painfully sat through the event when it was in Denver two years ago -- and watching 2003 draftmates LeBron James and Dwyane Wade make their all-star debuts -- Anthony had had enough of being an all-star spectator.
When Western Conference coaches initially refused to add the league's leading scorer to the list of reserves, Anthony made plans to go home to Baltimore and visit his mother, Mary. His representatives told him to hold those plans -- with injuries to Houston's Yao Ming and Utah's Carlos Boozer leaving two spots available -- but he wasn't optimistic that Commissioner David Stern was going to add him to the roster as an injury replacement after his role in a fight at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 16. "I didn't know," Anthony said. "I really didn't."
But as he sat at a round table, addressing reporters Friday afternoon at an all-star media event, Anthony could only smile as he reflected on how he finally made it in his fourth season. "It don't matter. I know it, everybody else knows that if it hadn't been for that incident, the way I got here would've been different," said Anthony, who was forced to serve a 15-game suspension for punching the New York Knicks' Mardy Collins. "I'm here now, I can't complain about how I'm here. To know that he did it, that David Stern put me in, it meant that he forgot about it. He put that situation behind him. We know how the league took a hit with the incident in Detroit with Indiana. We know how sensitive he was about that. So for him to put that behind him and forgive me, I really appreciate him for that."
Stern was extremely busy this month, having to select five players for the all-star team as Yao (right knee), Boozer (left fibula), Phoenix's Steve Nash (shoulder), Denver's Allen Iverson (ankle) and New Jersey's Jason Kidd (back) all were forced to back out. In their place, Stern added Anthony, Dallas's Josh Howard, Utah's Mehmet Okur, Seattle's Ray Allen and Atlanta's Joe Johnson. With the exception of Allen, the remaining players were making their all-star debuts.
Allen had no idea he would be selected for his seventh consecutive all-star game after he was passed over twice. He already had chartered a flight to Mexico, where he planned to take his family and play a little golf. But when he found out he made the team, Allen had no trouble ditching the vacation. "Every year, you want to be a part of it. This is where you want to be. You want to be part of the best," Allen said. "Any player that's not an all-star that's here wants to be in our shoes. I think the players that don't come are the ones that don't come because they don't want to think about being here. They just want to forget about it and just work harder to be here."
The five injury replacements are the most since 1997, when Chris Webber made his all-star debut as a member of the Washington Bullets, replacing Patrick Ewing, and a precocious, 20-year-old power forward named Kevin Garnett made the team just two years out of high school, replacing Clyde Drexler. "I was telling Melo not to get into the labels on how you get here. He'll have his patches and it won't say injury replacement," Garnett said. "As a vet, it was my duty to let him know that it's important to enjoy this time, no matter how you get here."
When Stern made Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas an all-star replacement for the injured Jermaine O'Neal last season, Arenas said he would seek vengeance on the coaches who overlooked him, dubbing himself the Eastern Conference assassin. Anthony said he would have a difficult time taking a similar path the second half of this season. "Every Western coach I come across says, 'I voted for you.' I really don't know who's hating. Every coach said, 'I voted for you, I voted for you.' Somebody lying, man."

Kidney dialysis
If a person's kidneys are no longer able to effectively filter the blood and remove waste products, kidney dialysis is a life-saving treatment that may be needed.
Kidney dialysis is likely to be given as a long-term treatment for severe kidney problems and kidney disease. Some people may be a candidate to have a kidney transplant from a donor, which should remove the need for dialysis.
The life expectancy for people on kidney dialysis is improving all the time. The NHS says some people have now been on dialysis for more than 30 years.
Types of kidney dialysis
The most common type of kidney dialysis is haemodialysis. This procedure involves using a needle to take blood from a specially modified blood vessel, called an AV fistula, usually in the wrist or upper arm. This is connected into a dialysis machine. This then filters out waste products and unwanted fluids ready for the blood to be put back into the body.
This process takes around four hours. It can be done at a hospital, clinic or at home three times a week.
People having haemodialysis will have the amount of fluid they drink restricted because the machine can only process so much fluid. A special diet plan may also be recommended to reduce salt, potassium and phosphorus, which can build up to dangerous levels.
Peritoneal dialysis
Another type of dialysis is peritoneal dialysis. This technique involves the filtering being done inside the body using a membrane in the abdomen called the peritoneum. Special fluid is pumped into the peritoneal cavity to collect waste products from the blood. After 30 to 40 minutes the fluid will have been removed from the cavity. The technique is usually repeated four times a day with equipment carried around with a collection bag, and is called continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or CAPD. It can also be done during the night with automated peritoneal dialysis or APD.
Which type of dialysis is recommended?
Specialist renal doctors will determine which type of dialysis is most appropriate for each patient. Most major cities have a special NHS renal unit.
Peritoneal dialysis tends to be recommended for adults with kidney disease but who are otherwise generally healthy. Haemodialysis may be more suitable for older people in poorer health, and during pregnancy.
Side effects of kidney dialysis
Both types of kidney dialysis can be exhausting for the patient.
Additional common side effects of haemodialysis are itchy skin and muscle cramps. There is also a risk of infection or low blood pressure.
With peritoneal dialysis, there is a risk of the peritoneum becoming infected. This is called peritonitis. Developing a hernia or weight gain is also possible.

Power struggles and conflict over use of land fan Tana Delta clashes
Saturday August 25 2012
The trouble with the Tana River Delta is simply a failure of leadership. Politicians have been blamed, and rightly so, for fanning the violence with their utterances, especially as the campaigns for the March General Election gain momentum.
Galole MP Dhadho Godhana has been accused of playing a role in the flare-ups in Kipini, where 52 people were killed at Riketa last Wednesday. Though he has denied the accusation, the Livestock assistant minister seems to acknowledge the role of politics in the recent clashes.
"We need the National Security Intelligence Service to investigate these clashes that have become the norm, especially as we approach the General Election," he said on Wednesday.
Acting Security minister Yusuf Haji has ordered the CID to investigate the MP over his utterances, but in his response on Friday, Mr Godhana accused the minister of being the "cause of insecurity" in the area.
"He has been agitating for the adjustment of the boundaries between Tana and North Eastern," the assistant minister said.
The violence
As the minister and the MP spar over the violence in Tana River County, one of the issues that may take centre stage is the long-running conflict between the Pokomo farmers in Galole and Orma pastoralists from the neighbouring Ijara district. Mr Haji is Ijara MP.
The Pokomo have always claimed the three-mile strip on the east bank of River Tana on the side of Garissa and Ijara districts. According to them and government officials, the strip is trust land held by the Tana River County Council.
"The strip was allocated to the Pokomo as part of their farmland," said a Lands official.
But that land is not always available for use by the Tana River farmers.
Conflicts in Tana River seem to heighten in the run-up to elections. Statistics show there were clashes in Salama in Garsen in 1996; in Zubaki, Duwayo, Kinakomba and Mnazini in Galole, and Idzowe and Chara in 2001; and in this year in Kipini. This is an indication of the jostling for power between the communities in the area.
The Pokomo generally control Tana River politics, so an influx of pastoralists in a Pokomo stronghold in an election year may be worrying for some leaders as the herders might just swing the vote in favour of an Orma candidate.
Take Garsen constituency, for instance. It is now teeming with pastoralists from all over the county. If they register and vote there, they could very well determine who the area's next leaders will be.
And now, the political stakes are much higher. The real battle is the race for governor. There are at least four Pokomo hopefuls in the race, including Garsen MP Danson Mungatana and Galole's Godhana. And the Orma have former MP Molu Shambaro and his cousin, former ambassador Hussein Dado, eyeing the seat.
Though Mr Shambaro and Mr Dado are bitter rivals, there is a likelihood that they will close ranks to front one of them against the Pokomo candidates. Such a candidate could romp to victory, buoyed by the new voters from the north, if they register. That possibility could fuel ethnic animosity.
Few resources
But the root of the perennial conflict between the farming Pokomo community and the nomadic pastoralist Orma and Wardei is in the failure of the government to efficiently administer the few resources in the county.
Tana River County is largely arid, with only a small portion of the 38,437 square- kilometre area being arable. The Bura and Hola irrigation schemes, which were the county's breadbasket in the 1980s and early 90s, dried up years ago. They were recently revived, but they are now more or less dead. Again.
Only the rice-growing Tana Delta Irrigation Project, run by the Tana and Athi Rivers Development Authority (Tarda), has survived the vagaries of nature and politics. But it was badly hit when River Tana changed its course in the mid-1990s, and the 1998 el Nino floods almost brought the project to its knees.
With a large population of nomadic pastoralists roaming the county, conflict over the available pastureland has become endemic.
The pastoralists traverse the length and breadth of the county, from Mbalambala in the north to Kipini in the south, grazing their livestock where there are pastures and staying close to the only reliable source of water — River Tana.
Even when they move west of the river, their large flocks keep drifting back as the wells, water pans and dams in areas such as Boka, Bangale and Chardende dry up.
They keep close to Mbalambala, Madogo, Nanighi, Bura, Milalulu, Zubaki, Wenje, Mnazini and Garsen before they enter the Tana Delta, the final destination.
But why do the herders graze everywhere and anywhere? A failure of leadership.
The land in Tana River County is either government land or trust land. Pokomo farmers occupy most of the trust land while herders roam the government land.
The Pokomo cultivate along the riverbank, often blocking the pastoralists' access to the river. So the Orma and Wardei drive their animals through the farms, leaving destruction and a seething community of farmers in their wake.
The farmers descend on the offending livestock and slaughter or maim them. And the herders, who tote illegal weapons, usually react with gunfire. Result: tears, blood and death. And the vicious cycle of violence and tribal animosity continues.
Yet it could be easily avoided if the government implemented the land adjudication and settlement programme that has been on the books for decades.
Lands officials are allocated money annually to conduct the exercise, but it almost always runs aground. There are leaders who just don't want the land subdivided.
A source in the Lands ministry, who declined to be named as he is not allowed to speak on policy matters, yesterday told the Sunday Nation that the demarcation is on-going in parts of the county but has run into trouble. There is a court case challenging it.
The adjudication is meant to allocate farmland to the farmers who already occupy it, and partition the rest of the county's grassland into group ranches to cater for the livestock keepers.
Livestock corridors
One of the recommendations is the creation of malka or livestock corridors through the farms to the river to avoid destruction of crops.
Some were created, but the pastoralists don't always use them.
"If they were legally created through adjudication, the herders would have to use them," said a lands official who worked in the county. "But some have even been blocked by the farmers because they have no legal standing." The councils of elders, Gassa for the Pokomo and Matardeda for the Orma, are supposed to help the government ensure the success of the livestock corridors. But this has never happened. Politics always crops up.
In the mid-1990s, for example, the World Bank, through the Kenya Wildlife Service, donated about Sh500 million for the conservation of the Tana River Primate Reserve at Mchelelo in Wenje division. The project involved relocating residents to the Witu settlement scheme in Kipini division and settling them, complete with social amenities.
But the local leaders differed on the modalities and stopped the adjudication of the Witu scheme. The World Bank withdrew the money.
And now, just as it was just gaining speed, someone has gone to court to stop it.
There are also rich and powerful individuals within and outside the county who have been allocated large chunks of government land. Indeed, there was a time there was talk of a Somali warlord having bought a huge tract of beach land in Kipini.
Tana Delta remains a conflict hotspot as livestock are led there between August and the time the rains begin in late October.
Incidentally, when it was conceived, the adjudication had taken into account the need for a dry season grazing zone and, according to Lands officials, adequate land would be set aside for use by the herders.
But without such measures, the Tana Delta is a free for all. Indeed, even herders from across the river in Defence minister Yusuf Haji's Ijara constituency and other areas in North Eastern Province sometimes find their way there, too.
In the early 1990s, the Galgeel Somali entered the Tana Delta and settled there. Their status in the area has been in question.
With uncontrolled movements, small arms keep coming into Tana River from North Eastern Province, another reason it has been difficult creating lasting peace in the area. As the government hunts for illegal guns, they find — or are given — old ones, and their owners acquire new AK47s and sub-machine guns.
And so as the State moves in to restore peace, its officers might want to work towards regularising land use and block the entry of small arms into the region.

Low Power Wireless: 6LoWPAN, IEEE802.15.4 and the Raspberry Pi
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the new kids on the block. It promises connection of sensors and actuators to the internet, for data to flow both ways, and once on the internet, to become part of new and exciting business systems, reaching up into the realms of big data and artificial intelligence.
IoT applications will rely on a large and complex system. One of the components in this will be the connections between sensors and actuators and the internet. This will most likely be wireless, and it will have to be low power. If you have a thousand sensors, they will most likely be running off batteries, and you will want those batteries to last years, not days.
Low power wireless is heading in two directions right now: personal-area networks (LoWPAN) spanning up to 20–30 meters and wide-area networking (LPWAN) of up to 20 or more kilometers. The technologies at the physical layer are completely different and lead to different Linux solutions. This article deals only with LoWPAN.
The physical layer for LoWPAN is specified by IEEE802.15.4. This defines communication using various wireless bands, such as 2.4GHz, with a range of about 10 meters and data transfer rates of 250kb/s—good enough for most sensors, but not good enough to stream MP3s!
On top of IEEE802.15.4 is a variety of protocols: Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread and so on. Of these, only the IETF 6LoWPAN is an open standard, and this is where the Linux development community has settled. This article covers only 6LoWPAN. I also ignore other wireless systems, such as Bluetooth LE.
6LoWPAN and Linux
6LoWPAN is IPv6 over IEEE802.15.4 wireless. That isn't easy. IPv6 is designed for the current internet, while IEEE802.15.4 is designed for a different environment. You don't need to worry about how this mismatch has been overcome, but it does mean you need to be aware that two different levels are dealt with here: getting two wireless devices to talk to each other and getting a networking layer talking over these devices.
The device layer is where physical hardware choices come into play. Linux supports several devices, such as the AT86RF230 series, the MRF24J40 and several others. The kernel needs to have those device drivers compiled in or available as dynamically loadable modules.
The networking layer requires 6LoWPAN support. Again, the kernel needs to have this compiled in or available as modules. These modules are the ieee802154_6LoWPAN, ieee802154 and mac802154 modules.
6LoWPAN Devices and the Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi is a wonderful toy or a full-blown Linux computer, depending on your viewpoint. With its GPIO pins, it can act as a connection into the realm of sensors and actuators, while with Ethernet (and on the RPi3, Wi-Fi), it can be a part of LANs and WANs. For the IoT, it (and the Arduino) form an excellent bridge between the physical and ICT worlds. But, there are now IEEE802.15.4 modules available, and they can be used to turn an RPi into a "full-function 6LoWPAN device".
I used the RPi with the OpenLabs "Raspberry Pi 802.15.4 radio". This is an Atmel AT86RF233 radio on a small board with a header that allows it to be plugged straight onto pins 15–26 of the RPi. It can be plugged in facing out or facing in—facing in the right way to do it.
I started off using the standard Raspbian distro (dated May 27, 2016). This can be set up to recognize the radio, but—oh dear!—the 4.4 Linux kernel it uses has 6LoWPAN modules, but they don't work properly in that kernel. The IPv6 packets get corrupted even for pinging itself, so this Raspbian distro won't support 6LoWPAN.
The hunt is on then for a setup that allows the RPi to support 6LoWPAN with an AT86RF233 radio. This is painful: there are many helpful sites that are outdated or with instructions that I just couldn't get to work. I finally was pointed by Sebastian Meiling to his page "Create a generic Raspbian image with 6LoWPAN support". In summary, what is needed is an upstream Linux kernel, 4.7 or 4.8, recent firmware and suitable configuration of the /boot/config.txt file. At the time of this writing, these instructions work only for the RPi 1 and 2. The RPi 3 isn't working yet, but it may be by the time this article is published.
Installing a 6LoWPAN Kernel
For this article I'm using the OpenLabs module on the RPi 2B. For other modules and RPis, see Sebastian's page. I'm also going to assume a reasonable amount of Linux savvy in installing software and building from source.
Start by installing the latest Raspbian image. If that runs a 4.7 (or
later) kernel, you may be okay already; otherwise, you need to build and
install an upstream 4.7 kernel. You probably will need extra tools for
this, such as
bc and maybe development
tools that you can install using
Before you do anything else, make sure your system is up to date by running:
This will install the latest firmware bootloader.
Download a 4.7 kernel into the linux-rpi2 directory with:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git \
--branch rpi-4.7.y --single-branch linux-rpi2
Building a kernel means compiling a lot of files and is very slow on the RPi. Most people recommend cross-compiling, but that's more complex, and I like things simple. So, I prefer to build on the RPi itself. It takes only about 5 hours, so start it up, and either go to bed or go out, listen to some jazz and stay out late.
Jan Newmarch has written many books and papers about software engineering, network programming, user interfaces and artificial intelligence, and he is currently digging into the IoT.

A large tanker carrying liquified natural gas is set to become the first ship of its type to sail across the Arctic.
The carrier named Ob River, which had left Norway in November, has sailed north of Russia and is on its way to Japan.
According to the BBC, the specially equipped tanker is due to arrive in early December and will shave 20 days off the regular journey.
The ship, with an international crew of 40, has been chartered from its Greek owners Dynagas by the Russian Gazprom energy giant.
The report quoted Tony Lauritzen, commercial director at Dynagas, as saying that a key factor in the decision to use the northern route was the recent scientific record on melting in the Arctic.
"We have studied lots of observation data - there is an observable trend that the ice conditions are becoming more and more favourable for transiting this route. You are able to reach a highly profitable market by saving 40 percent distance, that's 40 percent less fuel used as well," Lauritzen added. (ANI)

AN attempt to get West Sussex County Council to pay its staff a living wage failed on Friday (April 11).
A Labour councillor Michael Jones, put forward a motion at Friday's annual meeting, to get the council to pay all staff the living wage as a minimum.
Although the national minimum wage is £6.31, the living wage for earners outside London is set at £7.65 an hour.
He said there were 4,000 staff in the county council who were paid less than the living wage.
However the motion was not backed by the Conservatives, and cabinet member Bob Lanzer said: "It would not be prudent or responsible to act now to increase the minimum wage."
He said the increase in the wage bill would be 'unacceptable'.
Liberal Democrat Dr James Walsh said he would support the living wage, and it was a 'simple moral question'.
He said: "We are the employers in this situation and are we prepared to continue paying considerable numbers of our staff less than the living wage?
"The clue is in the title 'the living wage'. We as good employers ought to be giving that good example.
"It's really quite shocking as one of the major employers in West Sussex that we can even contemplate not paying the minimum living wage."
But Conservative Peter Bradbury quoted Margaret Thatcher, and said: "The problem with socialists is eventually they run out of other people's money."
He said the move would cost at least £700,000 a year, and asked what services would have to be cut to accommodate it.
Another, Conservative, Philip Circus, said: "The most important moral principle is that we're here primarily to represent the people who voted for us, not the people who work for us.
"That does not mean we do not have a duty to the people who work for us, but our first duty is to the people who elected us, and this is going to have to be paid by them if we do go down this route."
He also said: "This is in effect socialism by the back door and the reality of socialism is it impoverishes people. The living wage is fundamentally wrong as a concept. The market should decide these things.
"It would impoverish people as it would actually reduce employment and what will really transform the life of the people who work for us is economic resurgence. This undermines economic resurgence, it doesn't facilitate it."
Mr Jones said the response from the Conservatives was 'very disappointing' and added it was 'a missed opportunity'. He also noted it was 'appropriate' the council meeting was held at Chichester College as it had just announced it would pay all its staff the living wage.
"We're not breaking the bank with this proposal," he said. "It is an increase of one tenth of one per cent of the wage bill."
The proposal to implement a minimum living wage for county council staff was rejected, with 37 votes against, 12 for and ten abstentions.
