Pure Sole: Vomit, REI and a Diet Coke with a splash of lime
At the high school state championships last weekend, I saw those runners. Almost guiltily, JDHS athletic director Julie Hermann and I exchanged downward nods and pleasantries as we passed at the REI entrance. Again my mind was blown when Lupro ordered a “Diet Coke with lime, please.”“Fancy,” I said and it drew a laugh. I had no clue that packets of lime crystals were even available on Alaska Airlines flights. And now a day ahead of every flight your phone flashes a chance to pre-order snacks for a price??!!

Why top Sports Ministry officials defied presidential directive on AFCON 2027 consultants
Top Sports Ministry officials face scrutiny after allegedly defying a presidential directive, raising concerns over AFCON 2027 planning. Corruption concerns have emerged within the Ministry of Sports, Culture, and Heritage following new revelations that senior officials may have overlooked a presidential directive, potentially impacting the country’s preparations to co-host the 2027 African Cup of Nations (AFCON). The directive came after it was revealed that some officials were using consultancy services as a conduit to siphon millions of shillings meant for AFCON preparations. President Ruto had ordered the cancellation of all private consultancy contracts on July 1, warning that the practice was escalating project costs unnecessarily. In defiance of that directive, insiders claim that senior ministry officials quickly reinstated consultants under questionable terms, taking advantage of a political vacuum created by the President's decision to dismiss all Cabinet Secretaries.
