I assume Kai probably has a small test data set that he uses?  
k-centers can probably be deterministic if we fix the initial seed  
cluster, and have a tie-breaking mechanism for data points that are  
equi-distant from two clusters (there might be something in Kai's code  
already). I need to spend a bit more time with the k-means code...
