The Town of Elkin passed a resolution on Monday officially opposing legislative action that forces the transfer of any city's municipal water system to another entity.
The resolution is a reaction to statewide legislation that was introduced in the 2011 Session of the North Carolina General Assembly forcing the involuntary conveyance of a city-owned water system to a Metropolitan Water District.
The controversy behind the water-grab stems from the City of Asheville, which operates its own water system. Wastewater service is handled by a Metropolitan Sewerage District that covers all of Buncombe County.
A legislative study committee through North Carolina's General Assembly reported last year that combining systems could achieve efficiencies, and a bill passed this summer that would authorize a sewerage district to exercise "any power" of a city water system.
The measure, pushed by Rep. Tim Moffitt, R-Buncombe, and Rep. Chuck McGrady, R-Henderson, was seen as a prelude to a merger. But critics suspect the ultimate goal was to privatize water services in Asheville, thus empowering control over the city's water supply to an unelected sewer board.
The Asheville City Council placed to city voters in a nonbinding referendum last November, which they say should ice the plan. Eighty-six percent of voters said they wanted to keep the system.
The Town of Elkin commissioners debated the Asheville topic during Monday's annual meeting, its first gathering of 2013.
"I recommend the town remain opposed to the forced taking of any local government infrastructure because it creates a dangerous precedent," said John Holcomb, assistant town manager.
The resolution passed with 4 to 1 with Commissioner Terry Kennedy voting against the resolution.
"I am voting against the resolution in objection to the language as written," stated Kennedy.

Robert DuPont, who served as the nation's drug czar under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, said Americans should be wary of a slippery slope to legalization. While marijuana may not cause the life-threatening problems associated with heroin, cocaine or methamphetamine, it's far from harmless. "It is a major drug of abuse," he said. "People ask me what the most dangerous drug is, and I say marijuana. Other drugs have serious consequences that are easy to recognize. Marijuana saps people's motivation, their direction. It's a drug that makes people stupid and lazy. That's in a way more dangerous." Unfortunately for Mr. DuPont it seems as if he never had the privilege of tokin' some doobage in his day. Or perhaps he was that ultra conservative brat in high school (the "bro") who shit on all the theater kids, the band geeks and poetry club members who thought outside the status quo. Who dared to dream and aspire to something secular than the institutionalized recycled rhetoric the youth has been spoon fed decade after decade. Because if he did, and he took that drag to the head, he might have realized these kids were on to something. Before you get the wrong idea and suggest I'm just one of those ill-informed, pot smoking dead beats, who lay around all day scratching my head trying to remember where I put the remote; I never said I even smoked. And if I did it wouldn't matter because I would have understood what so many people across the country understand: Criminalizing the use of marijuana is not only a waste of time and tax payer dollars, but unjustly perpetuated by right-wing, backwards thinking parasites. You see if individuals like Mr. DuPont actually understood the truth, which may be hard for them conceptualize only because it makes perfect sense, perhaps they wouldn't subscribe to the nonsense war on weed over six decades old. 1. More than 800,000 people are arrested for marijuana each year, the vast majority of them for simple possession. 2. Most marijuana users never use any other illicit drug. Marijuana does not cause people to use hard drugs. Marijuana is the most popular illegal drug in the United States today. Therefore, people who have used less popular drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and LSD, are likely to have also used marijuana. 3. Most marijuana users never use any other illegal drug and the vast majority of those who do try another drug never become addicted or go on to have associated problems. Indeed, for the large majority of people, marijuana is a terminus rather than a so-called gateway drug. 4. Most people who use marijuana do so occasionally. Increasing admissions for treatment do not reflect increasing rates of clinical dependence. 5. Claims about marijuana potency increases are vastly overstated. In addition, potency is not related to risk of dependence or health impacts. 6. Marijuana has not been shown to cause mental illness. 7. Marijuana use has not been shown to increase risk of cancer. Marijuana has been proven helpful for treating the symptoms of a variety of medical conditions. I have to stop here, I can go on and on. Once consigned to the political fringe, marijuana policy is appearing on legislative agendas around the country thanks to an energized base of supporters and an increasingly open-minded public. Lawmakers from Rhode Island to Colorado are mulling medical marijuana programs, pot dispensaries, decriminalization and even legalization. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia now authorize medical marijuana and 14, including neighboring Connecticut and Massachusetts, have rolled back criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of pot. Rhode Island is poised to become the 15th state to decriminalize marijuana possession. The state's General Assembly passed legislation last week that would eliminate the threat of big fines or even jail time for the possession of an ounce or less of pot. Instead, adults caught with small amounts of marijuana would face a $150 civil fine. Police would confiscate the marijuana, but the incident would not appear on a person's criminal record. Minors caught with pot would also have to complete a drug awareness program and community service. Decriminalizing and legalizing marijuana also contributes to stimulating our nations economy. By doing what we do best, regulating and taxing the life source out if it. That's were we find ourselves today. With a significant number of Americans standing up and saying, "I'm done being afraid," it is comforting to see the majority of citizens not subscribing to the redundancy of irrational media and lobbyist ideals and an important step forward in legitimizing an overwhelming popular consensus that says, "we aren't the bad guys anymore."

GOP pursues last chances to take over Senate
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans vigorously pursued their last, longshot chances for taking control of the Senate — Pennsylvania topped their list — as Democrats remained cautiously optimistic that they'd retain their narrow majority after Tuesday's suspense-filled elections.
In the final days of a caustic campaign marked by negative ads, more than $1 billion in spending and the direct impact of a close White House race between President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney, Democrats who were once considered a sure-fire bet to lose the Senate were upbeat about flipping Republican seats in Maine and Massachusetts and holding most of the 23 seats they're defending this year.
GOP candidates' statements on rape and abortion proved to be self-inflicted political wounds that could cost the party Indiana and undermined its chances of taking down a vulnerable Democrat in Missouri. Incumbent Democrats considered in jeopardy at the start of the election cycle managed to counter a barrage of outside spending and were on track to keep their seats in Michigan and Florida.
Democrats hold a 53-47 Senate edge but Republicans are defending only 10 seats Tuesday. Retirements in 10 states proved the most vexing for both parties.
Democrats were counting on holding the open seat in Hawaii, were unsure whether former Sen. Bob Kerrey's late surge would work in Nebraska and considered Virginia, Wisconsin and North Dakota toss-ups. New Mexico leaned Democratic but was a bit uncertain after the national parties left the two candidates — Democratic Rep. Martin Heinrich and former GOP Rep. Heather Wilson — to fend for themselves.
Among the GOP open seats, Republicans had written off Maine, chalked up Texas and warily but confidently counted Arizona.
In Connecticut, Republican and former wrestling executive Linda McMahon spent more than $42 million of her own wealth on the race for retiring independent Sen. Joe Lieberman's seat, but it looked like it would be insufficient against the number of Democratic votes. On the final weekend, Obama stepped in with his first campaign ad appeal for Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy.
The ever-tight presidential race, the possibility of a Romney win and the potential boost or drag of the candidates on down-ballot races meant few were offering predictions on Senate control. Both parties grabbed at newfound opportunities like Nebraska and Pennsylvania.
First-term Sen. Bob Casey in Pennsylvania wasn't on anyone's lineup of vulnerable Democrats six months ago, especially after Republicans nominated little-known businessman Tom Smith. But the coal executive spent more than $17 million of his own money and cut into Casey's edge. The National Republican Senatorial Committee and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce jumped in with money and ads in the final week. Continued...
"I think a race that everyone here in Pennsylvania assumed was safe for Sen. Casey no longer is," said Gene Barr, president of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry. "It probably leans Democratic. The Casey name here is well-known for decades. His father was governor and Sen. Casey has run statewide before, but it is one that has clearly tightened up."
Some Democrats suggested that Casey has run a lackluster campaign, a notion his campaign manager emphatically dismissed.
"That is one of the ridiculous phony narratives that have been written," said Larry Smar. "When the press, pundits thought that this wouldn't be a race and weren't covering the race, we were the ones pointing out that Smith had lot of money and he was going to spend it. It's pretty ridiculous when they weren't paying attention to the race all year to try to push the blame on us."
Casey's latest ad appeals directly to the state's millions of seniors, promising to strengthen Medicare and "never stop fighting for Pennsylvania."
A look at the competitive races that will decide Senate control:
—Maine: In a rare case of bipartisanship, Democrats and Republicans agree that independent Angus King likely will win the three-way race against Republican Charlie Summers and Democrat Cynthia Dill. It will be a loss for Republicans who had expected Sen. Olympia Snowe to sail to a fourth term, but the moderate had enough of Washington's rancor and gridlock. King has not said whether he would caucus with Democrats or Republicans and the outcome of the presidential election is certain to have a bearing on any decision. However, the expectation has been that he would side with the Democrats after Republicans such as Karl Rove's group and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce spent hundreds of thousands of dollars criticizing him.
—Massachusetts: Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren has the edge against Republican Sen. Scott Brown in one of the most expensive races in the country — $68 million and it's all candidate spending as the two agreed to ban outside money. With the backing of the tea party, Brown won a special election in January 2010 to fill the seat of the late Democratic Sen. Edward Kennedy. Brown has vowed to be an independent voice in the Senate, but he's up against some hard numbers. Obama will win the state handily and there will be 700,000 to 800,000 more voters than in 2010, many of them Democrats and independents who favor Democrats.
—Indiana: Tea party-backed state treasurer Richard Mourdock stunned the GOP in May when he easily knocked out six-term Sen. Richard Lugar in the primary. He is giving Republicans fits again because he could lose on Tuesday even as Romney wins the state and Rep. Mike Pence likely emerges as the next governor. Mourdock had limited goodwill after suing in 2009 to stop the federal government's bailout of Chrysler. He further damaged his hopes when he said in a debate that pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended." Public and internal polls show conservative Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly with a lead in the high single digits. The question is whether he can overcome the state's Republican trend. Libertarian Andrew Horning could affect the outcome.
—Virginia: Former governors, Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican George Allen, are locked in a close race. Allen is trying to reclaim the seat he lost to Democratic Sen. Jim Webb six years ago. Webb decided to retire. Kaine has run slightly ahead of Obama in the battleground state, where the presidential outcome could weigh on the Senate results. The race that has attracted some $50 million in outside spending.
—Montana: Democratic Sen. Jon Tester is fighting for political survival against Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg in a state that narrowly went for John McCain in 2008 but is expected to solidly back Romney. The former music teacher, butcher and current farmer was a surprise winner in 2006. Democrats hope his solid campaign this year will tip the balance. Continued...
—North Dakota: Both parties give high marks to the campaign Democrat Heidi Heitkamp has run this year, but it may not be enough against Republican Rep. Rick Berg in the strong Republican state and the race to fill the seat held by Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad.
—Wisconsin: Former four-term Gov. Tommy Thompson is a familiar name to many in Wisconsin. The question is whether the 70-year-old Republican who last ran statewide in 1998 is seen as history. Liberal Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin is counting on a strong turnout in her hometown of Madison. If elected, Baldwin would be the first openly gay senator.
—Missouri: Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, once considered the most vulnerable incumbent, could be back in Washington if she can hold off Rep. Todd Akin. The Republican severely damaged his candidacy in August when he said women's bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy in "legitimate rape," and GOP leaders, including Romney, called on him to abandon the race. Akin stayed in and is counting on support from evangelicals to lift his prospects in a state that will vote Republican.
—Nevada: Republican Sen. Dean Heller secured the seat after a sex scandal sunk GOP Sen. John Ensign. Ethics questions have dogged his Democratic challenger, Rep. Shelley Berkley, in a race flooded by outside cash and ads. The race is a test of whether Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's vaunted political operation can push Berkley to victory. In final push, she loaned her campaign $250,000 last month.
—Ohio: Republican groups swamped Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown with some $30 million in negative ads, helping to lift the candidacy of Josh Mandel. The state treasurer who just took office in January 2011 equivocated for months over the 2009 auto bailout, critical in the state, before finally saying he opposed it. The outcome of the closely fought presidential race will affect the Senate race.

#3 Another student down in Albuquerque was forced to strip down to his underwear while five adults watched because he had $200 in his pocket. The student was never formally charged with doing anything wrong.
#4 A security guard at one school in California broke the arm of a 16-year-old girl because she left some crumbs on the floor after cleaning up some cake that she had spilled.
#5 One teenage couple down in Houston poured milk on each other during a squabble while they were breaking up. Instead of being sent to see the principal, they were arrested and sent to court.
#6 In early 2010, a 12-year-old girl at a school in Forest Hills, New York was arrested by police and marched out of her school in handcuffs just because she doodled on her desk. "I love my friends Abby and Faith" was what she reportedly scribbled on her desk.
#7 A 6-year-old girl down in Florida was handcuffed and sent to a mental facility after throwing temper tantrums at her elementary school.
#8 One student down in Texas was reportedly arrested by police for throwing paper airplanes in class.
#9 A 17-year-old honor student in North Carolina named Ashley Smithwick accidentally took her father's lunch with her to school. It contained a small paring knife which he would use to slice up apples. So what happened to this standout student when the school discovered this? The school suspended her for the rest of the year and the police charged her with a misdemeanor.
#10 In Allentown, Pennsylvania a 14-year-old girl was tasered in the groin area by a school security officer even though she had put up her hands in the air to surrender.
#11 Down in Florida, an 11-year-old student was arrested, thrown in jail and charged with a third-degree felony for bringing a plastic butter knife to school.
#12 Back in 2009, an 8-year-old boy in Massachusetts was sent home from school and was forced to undergo a psychological evaluation because he drew a picture of Jesus on the cross.
#13 A police officer in San Mateo, California blasted a 7-year-old special education student in the face with pepper spray because he would not quit climbing on the furniture.
#14 In America today, even 5-year-old children are treated brutally by police. The following is from a recent article that described what happened to one very young student in Stockton, California a while back….
"Earlier this year, a Stockton student was handcuffed with zip ties on his hands and feet, forced to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with battery on a police officer. That student was 5 years old".
#15 At one school in Connecticut, a 17-year-old boy was thrown to the floor and tasered five times because he was yelling at a cafeteria worker.
#16 A teenager in suburban Dallas was forced to take on a part-time job after being ticketed for using foul language in one high school classroom. The original ticket was for $340, but additional fees have raised the total bill to $637.
#17 A few months ago, police were called out when a little girl kissed a little boy during a physical education class at an elementary school down in Florida.
#18 A 6-year-old boy was recently charged with sexual battery for some "inappropriate touching" during a game of tag at one elementary school in the San Francisco area.
#19 In Massachusetts, police were recently sent out to collect an overdue library book from a 5-year-old girl.

Gawker: Police Seize Woman's Camera After She Films Them Fatally Beating a Man
Last Tuesday, Maria Melendez witnessed a half-dozen sheriff's deputies fatally beating 33-year-old David Sal Silva—hitting him with clubs and kicking him— in Bakersfield, California outside Kern Medical Center. She began to film the scene on her phone, yelling to the cops that she was filming them.
Melendez, who had been visiting her son at the hospital, reported that the deputies beat Silva for eight minutes as he screamed and cried for help. He was "basically pleading for his life," said Laura Vasquez, another witness with Melendez. "Then we couldn't see him anymore. That's how many cops were on top of him."
A spokesperson for the Kern County Sheriff's Department says that Bakersfield Police Department officers had a warrant for both phones they confiscated last week. Law enforcement officials apparently plan to continue holding the phones, as part of the investigation into Silva's death, and all of the officers involved have returned to full duty.
Handing out Abercrombie clothes to shame a self-absorbed brand
Recent USC graduate Greg Karper, along with a friend, has taken to the street of Los Angeles to voice his disgust with comments from Abercrombie Chief Executive Michael S. Jeffries that have recently resurfaced.Said Jeffries:
"Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."
To counter that "exclusionary" bend, Karper has purchased bundles of used Abercrombie clothes to hand out to the homeless of L.A., and is hoping that more people will do the same.

According to information released last week by James Richter of the South Carolina Workforce Investment Board (SWIB), Chesterfield County will be right in line with the most of the state by joining efforts to be designated as a SC Work Ready Community. Currently, 34 of the state's 46 counties are already a part of this program or have agreed to accept the challenges of the program.
Chesterfield County Council voted earlier this month to set the wheels in motion for building this program in the county, and Councilman Crawford Moore of Cheraw agreed to lead those efforts.
"It's a great thing when 34 of our counties step up to participate in the South Carolina Work Ready Community initiative," said Governor Nikki Haley. "Our local partners are a vital part of our team's focus to recruit jobs for our citizens. These 34 counties' commitment to raising the bar is another reason why South Carolina is the new 'it' state when it comes to economic development."
"The South Carolina Work Ready Communities initiative enables counties to demonstrate that they have a ready workforce that is globally competitive," said Robert Barnett, Associate Vice President of Workforce, Education and Manufacturing Policy of the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce.
The South Carolina Work Ready Communities initiative is a public-private initiative whose mission is to empower counties in developing a workforce that meets the needs and challenges of a global economy. Developed by ACT, a Work Ready Community is a measure of the quality of a county's workforce. South Carolina was one of four pilot states selected by ACT to participate in the ACT Certified Work Ready Community program. For additional information, please visit www.scworkready.org.

Health workers administering polio vaccinations came under fresh attack in Pakistan on Wednesday, a troubling development in a nation that remains one of three in the world where the disease has yet to be eradicated.
Three workers were killed in separate attacks, a day after five others died in similar circumstances.
All of them were part of a massive vaccination campaign nationwide.
The attacks prompted authorities to suspend the campaign throughout the country.
In Wednesday's attacks:
-- Two men opened fire on an 18-year-old worker as he was vaccinating children on the outskirts of the northwestern city of Peshawar. The worker died of bullet wounds to the head, said Dr. Janbaz Afridi, the provincial director of the polio campaign.
-- Gunmen opened fire on a car carrying a vaccination campaign supervisor and her driver in Charsadda -- killing them both.
-- Also in Charsadda, two female workers narrowly escaped when some men began shooting at them.
-- Three other female workers also escaped unhurt when they were shot at in Nowshera district.
All the attacks Wednesday took place in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province rife with Islamic extremists.

Incase at Art Basel, Miami Beach
We partnered with Surface magazine to sponsor its VIP lounge for the duration of Miami Art Basel, one of the most anticipated and exciting art shows in the US.
Surface magazine, in association with the Gansevoort South Hotel, present the Surface Lounge at Gansevoort South, a three-day event during the famed Art Basel Miami Beach. Eighteen stories above the ocean, the hotel's Plunge rooftop is a tropical playground featuring a 110-foot-long pool on a 26,000-square-foot, palm-fringed Brazilian Ipe deck. (Can it get any better?)
During the day on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the Surface Lounge will host a 5,000-square-foot VIP area illuminated and furnished by Gandia Blasco, offering respite and refreshment for Art Basel participants scurrying to events and galleries. We will be providing the WiFi-ready Media Lounge complimented by a montage of short films featuring the artists from our Curated by Arkitip series, including KRINK, Parra, Steven Harrington, HunterGatherer and André.
Interview magazine will also be setting up shop, but this year at the Mondrian Hotel. In celebration of the magazine's 40th birthday, they've taken over the hotel's luxury Semi-Automatic vending machine to feature their Anniversary Collection, a curated installment of fascinating items such as archive Interview issues signed by Andy Warhol, tickets to the Paris Couture shows, a private jet, commissioned artwork by emerging young artists Asher Penn, Megan Plunkett and Luke Barber Smith, and product from the most recent Curated by Arkitip installment featuring André, signed by the artist himself. All are available for purchase.
Fingers crossed the weather holds out and Miami lives up to its vibrant, showy and sunny reputation. We'll have more to share straight from the shows and celebrations, South Beach style. Stay tuned.

1. | Apollo | ||
Apollo is the twin brother of Artemis. Apollo is the Greek god of light, youth, healing, the arts, and the intellect. His shrine was that of the oracle of Delphi, in honor of his having killed the Python, a dragon.
2. | Apollo | ||
1. The Greek god of the sun/light, nephew (or sumthing) of Zeus.
2. Lunar missions involving humans using space machinary to perform experiments on the moon. 1. Apollo worshipers are in very small amounts in modern days, especially after the Muslim and Christian religions began to expand.
2. For those who belive apollo 9 was a hoax... |
3. | Apollo | ||
Because the previous people got it wrong Apollo is a Greek God and his twin sister is Artemis and not Athena !!! The father is Zeus the biggest God of the 12 Gods of mount Olympus !! Apollo, the Sun god, brings life-giving heat and light to Earth.As patron god of musicians and poets Arts,sun and beauty, he carries a lyre and his symbol represents the "egg of creation".
* One of the most important Olympian gods * Apollo replaced the Titan Helios as the sun god; however, the Greeks didn't delete Helios completely but referred to both of them as the Sun gods. * The arrows of Apollo and Artemis invariably killed and the Greeks explained epidemics of diseases by supposing that they were shooting their arrows at people; and so, by praying to Apollo, the epidemic might be made to stop. In this way, Apollo became associated with the cure of diseases. had a son, Asclepius who is better known under the Roman version of the name, Aesculapius * He was a mortal medical healer who was so successful that he was reputed to have the ability to bring the dead back to life; which resulted in complaints by Hades. As a result, to keep peace in the godly family, Zeus killed him with a thunderbolt. * The snake was a symbol of medicine and doctors and the Latin name for his constellation is Ophiuchus (oh fee YOO kuhs) which means "serpent-holder". He is considered the ideal of manly beauty, so that a very handsome man might be called an "Apollo". He is also the god of poetry and music.

"Obviously." |
5. | Apollo | ||
A small Rural town in Western Pennsylvania with nothing to do except go to the pub or wengs chinese resteraunt. Person 1: "Yo, you wanna head over to apollo tomorrow?"
Person 2: "Naw dude, that place is fucking beat." |
6. | Apollo | ||
Apollo is the Greek god of the sun, light, poetry, art, music, medicine, healing and archery (important guy). He and his twin, Athena, were a product of Zeus' inability to keep his wang to himself when he knocked up a deity named Leto, who is otherwise rather insignificant in Greek mythology. Apollo is characterized as being the most beautiful of the gods, garnering much adoration from his many lovers -- both male and female alike (most of his male lovers died tragically), and bore a number of children. According to legends, Apollo is responsible for the existence of the cypress tree and flowers that turn to follow the sun. In a rage he seared white birds into crows (poor judgment on his part, but he made up for it by giving them the responsibility to announce death), and turned a jealous Zephyrus into the wind. Apollo's symbols are the lyre and the bow and arrow, and he considers several animals sacred, such as snakes, crows, wolves, dolphins and deer. He wrangled a chthonic serpent when he was four days old. That's Apollo for you.
7. | apollo | ||
1. Apollo was a Greek God of beauty, so calling someone Apollo means they're hot and ripped.
2. Apollo was an alphamale and every girl's dream, which can also be known as a pimp. 1. Did you see that model? He's such an Apollo!
2. Look at all the girls around him! What an Apollo! |

Germany are going into their game against Turkey knowing they are drinking at the last-chance saloon.
After carrying no wins into the Second Round from Group B because of defeats to Serbia and France, and due to their setback against Spain on Wednesday, the Germans' record in Group E is 0-3.
The good news for Germany is that they know what it's like to face Turkey as they met twice in the build-up to the EuroBasket and won both games.
"We lost two of them (friendly games) against Germany but this is a different tournament and we are in a different situation," said Turkey star Hedo Turkoglu.
"We knew it was a lesson, the Poland game for us, and we learned from that."
Turkey lost to Poland in their penultimate Group A game but Britain's win over the Poles over the following day punched Turkey's ticket for the Second Round.
Friday's clash is an uncomfortable game for Turkey, too, because they are 1-2 in Group E.
Head-to-Head: Germany have won five of their eight meetings against Turkey at EuroBaskets. The last time the sides met in the tournament was four years ago in Spain, and Germany rolled to a 79-49 triumph.
Last Time Out: Turkey lost 68-64 to France on Wednesday while Germany fell 77-68 to Spain.
Key Match-Up: Germany's Chris Kaman v Turkey's Enes Kanter
Key Stat: Germany committed 11 of their 16 turnovers in the second half against Spain while France scored 16 points off Turkey's 16 turnovers.
X-Factor: Germany's Robin Benzing was in foul trouble against Spain but can play a significant role against a deep and talented Turkey.
Sounding Off: "We played exceptionally well against Italy. We played very well against Serbia at times and today, we played well for 40 minutes (Wednesday against Spain) so I think we have a great chance to win against Turkey. They are extremely strong but we have already beaten them twice recently and I think we can beat them again," says Germany coach Dirk Bauermann

The face of the Olympics is well known the world over: athletes winning, losing, straining every sinew of their bodies in the pursuit of podium glory. But behind the scenes there is another story of the athletes' lives and the use of their bodies, one that centers on their time staying at the Olympic Village.
"Anyone who wants to be naive and say they don't know what's going on in the Village are lying to themselves," one former gold medalist and veteran of two Olympics told CNN of his previous experiences at the Games. "They know, the officials know, even the media. It's not a secret, everyone knows!
"(Sex) is all part of the Olympic spirit. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) wouldn't say that, but it is, you can't shy away from it. Why do you think they give away so many condoms?"
The Athletes' Village at the Olympic Games is a unique environment: Nearly 3,000 tightly-packed apartments, containing over 10,000 of the world's finest athletes who have traveled from more than 200 countries around the world to stay for a two-week sporting jamboree.
A potent mix of fit, body beautiful, young people -- many of whom have abstained from sexual intercourse as part of a disciplined training regime -- being in the same place, at the same time; cocooned from the outside world by tight security and often reveling in the glory of success and attention of devoted crowds and the world's press.
It is maybe only human nature that people, when placed together, procreate to some extent, but that libidinous cocktail means London 2012 officials were right if the experiences of Sydney and Atlanta were anything to make 150,000 condoms -- a record for the modern Games -- available to the Village's frisky inhabitants, according to CNN's source
"The athletes don't know what to expect the first time they go to the Olympics, but it just happens," added the former gold medalist, who is now approaching his late 30s, looking back at his Olympic experiences. "As soon as you finish competing there's no sleeping until the next day!
"Many of the volunteers (in the Village) would say 'Oh, what is your room like?' and I knew they were not really wanting to see the room. It's just fun, they are excited to be with the athletes.
"You talk, you go to your room. Let me say this ... there were lots of volunteers and they were happy to help you with whatever your needs were.
"My roommate and I would put something on the door so we would know if the other was 'busy'. I feel bad to say it but my coach actually guarded the door the night before me and my roommate were racing (because of our reputations)! But it didn't affect me like that. When I raced after sex I felt light on my feet.

Brother acts are popping up all over at the London Olympics — especially from the host nation. Britain's Alistar Brownlee nabbed the gold in men's triathlon on Tuesday, while his younger brother Jonathan won the bronze. On the water, Richard Chambers and younger brother Peter won silver in the lightweight four along with two other British rowers. In tennis, there was Britain's Andy Murray and older brother Jamie and doubles players Bob and Mike Bryan of the United States. Jamie Murray's Olympic journey ended when he and Andy lost in the first round of doubles, although Andy went on to win gold in the singles and silver in mixed doubles. The Bryan twins took home gold in the doubles and Mike Bryan also won a bronze in the mixed doubles. Kevin Borlee and identical twin Jonathan both competed for Belgium in the 400 meters on Monday, finishing 5th and 6th respectively. Both will compete in the first round of the 4x400 meter relay on Thursday. — Nick Twomey. ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.

The instructors have diverse backgrounds and include university professors, teachers of the gifted, published authors, and professionals with real-world experience in the topics they present.

Not all recipes presented here are necessarily appropriate for all people with diabetes, nor will all recipes fit into every meal plan. No two meal plans are alike. Work with your health care provider, diabetes educator or dietitian to design a meal plan that's right for you, and includes the foods you love. A key message for people with diabetes is "Carbs Count." Foods high in carbs (carbohydrates) -- bread, tortillas, rice, crackers, cereal, fruit, juice, milk, yogurt, potatoes, corn, peas, sweets -- raise your blood glucose levels the most.
For many people, having 3 or 4 servings of a carb choice at each meal and 1 or 2 servings at snacks is about right. Keep an eye on your total number of servings. For example, if you choose to have dessert, cut back on potatoes.
Round out your meals with a serving of:
- Meat (such as fish or chicken) or meat substitute (such as beans, eggs, cheese, and tofu) about the size of a deck of cards and
- Non-starchy vegetables (such as broccoli or lettuce). If you have three (3) or more servings of non-starchy vegetables, count them as a carbohydrate choice. Three (3) servings is equal to 1 1/2 cups of cooked vegetables, or three (3) cups of raw vegetables.
Check your blood glucose to see how your food choices or these recipes affect your blood glucose. If your meal plan isn't working for you, talk to your dietitian about making a new one.
Along with exercise and medications (insulin or oral diabetes pills), nutrition is important for good diabetes management. By eating well-balanced meals in the correct amounts, you can keep your blood glucose level as close to normal (non-diabetes level) as possible.
The recipes on this page are only a part of what is offered in recipe books from the American Diabetes Association. Many also include information on meal planning, portion control, food buying and seasoning, as well as general cooking hints and tips for people with diabetes.

Man busted for DUI before he even leaves driveway
4/13/2012What may have made police charge a Florida man trying to back out of his driveway with DUI before he even made it to the street? There was the reported "strong odor of alcohol" on Dennis Jones' breath and the fact that his glasses only had one lens. Then there were the neighbors, who called the cops after reportedly watching Jones crash into the trees in his front yard. And we guess we can add that Jones candidly told attending officers that he had had "less than one pint of vodka" that morning. The real clincher, though, was likely the breathalyzer test that put his blood alcohol content at more than three times the legal limit.
Have you ever had a disorderly neighbor?

Thursday, May 24, 2012 • 10:33pm
We are in the process of collecting used furniture and room accessories to aid in a green room makeover for children of chronically ill siblings or parents! We will then repurpose the donated items to use in a room or we will sell it to fund the rest of the project! There will be no cost to the families and everything will be supplied by donations and run by volunteers.
Project RE: PURPOSE
A charitable green division of BedderIdeas! LLC, a children's room decorating service
Re: Collecting and repurposing donated furniture and accessories.
Purpose: to create a room makeover to benefit children with a chronic sick sibling or parent.
We are looking for our first family to be nominated!
Recipient Nomination Guidelines:
- children who have a chronically ill sibling or parent, including adult "children" of elderly parents, or children who lost a parent
- No upper middle class families please, if they can easily afford to do it themselves, they should NOT apply.
- Live in or in close proximity to New Providence, New Jersey.
- Renters are OK as long as we have the landlords permission...we can make everything to go! :D
- Nominate a child(ren) of a family and tell their story!

I started my children's room-only decorating business in 2000, and I have been a hands on children's room decorator for The Make-A-Wish Foundation for the past 8 years. I have decorated well over 100 rooms for their children, which has opened my eyes to the need to lift the spirits of these siblings, and other children in similar situations. Recycling and repurposing items is a great way to transform an atmosphere in a room and we will eliminate the need for additional monetary donations.
I am looking forward to the freedom and the opportunity this new project holds! It has a little of everything...good will, recycling, new beginnings...it has purpose! :D

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Lance Briggs sure doesn't look like he's slowing down.
The Bears' Pro Bowl linebacker still has plenty of spring in his step, and that was clear during Monday's game at Dallas.
Briggs hit the pedal when he picked off Tony Romo, returning an interception 74 yards for a touchdown, and Chicago's defense again went full throttle in a 34-18 victory.
For all the questions surrounding an aging core, that unit has for the most part kept its foot on the gas so far. They'll try to keep it there against an offense that ranks at the bottom when they visit Jacksonville (1-3) this week.
"We're going to play how we play because we're the star football players that we are," Briggs said. "I love to play the game at a high level, and I want to play this game at a high level as long as we can play it."
The Bears' defense was certainly in gear against the Cowboys, picking off Tony Romo five times in a dominant performance. Two of those interceptions were returned for touchdowns, with Charles Tillman taking one 25 yards in the second quarter and Briggs running his back in the third to make it 24-7.
It happened after defensive tackle Henry Melton hit Romo as he apparently tried to deliver a shovel pass. The ball popped out to Briggs, and he burst through a crowd, outrunning everybody on the way to the end zone.
It was a play that possibly could have been ruled a fumble. Briggs, however, insisted it wasn't. Either way, it was his fifth touchdown and first interception for a score since 2005, and the Bears (3-1) were still talking about that play on Thursday.
"Man, he took off," defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli said. "Great play. Great ball skills, and we had so many guys turn and try to block, which is important."
He called Briggs "an extremely gifted athlete" and "truly one of the great 'backers." Continued...
It's hard to argue, considering he became just the fourth Bears linebacker to make seven straight Pro Bowls last season, joining Hall of Famers Dick Butkus, Bill George and Mike Singletary. He led the Bears with 147 tackles and got a renegotiated contract that runs through 2014.
Clearly, Chicago was depending on him. The question was: Could he keep it up? And, for that matter, could Tillman, Julius Peppers and Brian Urlacher?
All four players are in their 30s. Urlacher still is trying to shake off a knee injury and isn't quite wreaking his usual havoc. But so far, the rest of the defense is holding up. And it's not just the core players doing their part.
The Bears are getting big contributions from the defensive line and areas of the secondary that were major question marks.
They lead the league in interceptions (11) and takeaways (14), and their 15 sacks trail only Arizona and Cincinnati with 16 apiece. Cornerback Tim Jennings already has a career-high four interceptions to lead the NFL, not to mention six pass breakups, two of which led to touchdowns for other players.
Then, there's Briggs still going strong with 27 tackles and four pass breakups even though he's in his 10th season and turns 32 next month.
"Best outside linebacker in the NFL. He does it every week," Urlacher said. "He shows up. He makes big plays. He stresses me out sometimes because he moves around so much before the snap, I don't know if he's going to end up in the right spots. But he always does, makes big plays, tackles for losses. He's always there."
He was certainly in the right spot against Dallas, when Melton hit Romo. Then, he showed just how much power he has left in his legs.
"I guess I was just a really old guy, on his last leg," Briggs joked.
Well, not quite. And even if he slows a bit, Marinelli said Briggs has the know-how to remain productive. Continued...
"Guys with brightness and understanding will usually play at that same high level (a long time)," Marinelli said.
Notes: The Bears held Peppers out of Thursday's practice because of an ankle injury, while Urlacher (coach's decision) and FB Evan Rodriguez (knee) also sat out. RB Matt Forte (ankle) and WR Earl Bennett (hand) were limited participants.

Defeat the Label
Join more than a million students around the world on Friday, May 4 at noon EST by standing up to bullying. For more info, go to www.stand4change.org.
- Great idea. Too bad it doesn't translate in the real world. Most schools punish any kid who stands up to a bully. My son stepped in and got some kids to back off of the smallest kid in his class. He didn't touch the bullies he just got in between them and the victim and yelled at them to stop. After week and weeks of the bullies picking at the smaller kid and the admins just saying "You should stop that" and not taking any action whatsoever, my son finally stepped in. Guess who ended up in office with a black mark in his file. MY son. When I asked if the other kids had ever received any such demerit they refused to answer me.
- Thank you to everyone who participated in this video. Together we will make a change. Matt's Dad. Peace!
- Watch more movie online myonlinemoviescafe2012.blogspot.com/ wallpaperofeverything.blogspot.com/ mycomiccafe.blogspot.com/ donatecarsincalifornia.blogspot.com/ ouronlinemoviescafe2012.blogspot.com/ cafegoogleadsensetip.blogspot.com/ mycomiccafe.blogspot.com/
- Right Jill? one of my kids is smaller than others his age...for months he was hit, tripped, yelled at, picked on, they'd take his backpack and throw it out the class window... teachers and the principal turned a blind eye.... so one day, he was walking along and two of them started in on him near the school's construction project--he picked up a 3' piece of rebar and beat the crap out of one of them as the other ran... yes, he got suspended but it was worth it. They never bothered him again.
- Things never change... 50 years ago, my Fiance was a military kid in Port Angeles. The town bullies beat the crap out of him, broke his nose and ganged up on him for years-- there were five foot-ball jocks in argyle sweaters. They even came into his basement once with baseball bats when he was fixing something...the last straw was when they did a drive-by shooting and just missed his mother who was in the kitchen. Ever heard the song, "Pumped up Kicks"? well, whoever wrote that must have heard the story on what came next for those school boys that very day and then later...one at a time when they were alone, and it was one on one... when my Fiance ended up in court over how he handled them, the judge ruled him, not guilty by reason of defense. He went on in life to become one of our BEST Government agents and took down some of the biggest bullies in the world to include Noriega "The Pineapple".
- Make sure to check out www.stand4change.org to see more about the movement and Defeat the Label, the organization behind it. There is so much you can do to help us make sure that every child goes to school without worrying about bullying.
