Trailing by 10 points with 1:36 left in the fourth quarter, Williston appeared to be on its way to a loss to Eastside in the nightcap of the inaugural Mighty Ike Shootout on Saturday.
WILLISTON — Trailing by 10 points with 1:36 left in the fourth quarter, Williston appeared to be on its way to a loss to Eastside in the nightcap of the inaugural Mighty Ike Shootout on Saturday.
However, the Red Devils rallied in the third game of the event named after former Williston basketball and football standout Isaac Floyd, who died in a car accident in December of 2011.
Senior Tre Wilson poured in a game-high 23 points and capped Williston's late 11-1 run with a driving layup which sent the game into overtime.
Damien Strange then netted four of his 11 points in the extra session as the Red Devils came away with a 60-58 victory over the Rams.
"I am extremely proud of them, that was a character-building win," said Williston coach Steve Faulkner. "To me the win just caps off the day, which was about the memory of Isaac.
"The last game Isaac played in our gym, we were in a similar situation, losing to Rockledge by 10 points with about two minutes to go in the regional and fought back to win by eight in overtime to go to the final four."
Williston trailed 52-42, before Wilson's one-handed dunk ignited the game-tying run for the Red Devils (5-3). Jaquan Strawder had 14 points for the Rams (2-5) and hit 1-of-2 from the foul line to give Eastside a 53-51 edge with 13.8 seconds left. Wilson answered with one of his numerous drives to the basket to even the game with five seconds left to force overtime.
Thomas Lundy's 3-pointer gave the Rams a 56-53 edge early in overtime, before Strange's steal and layup gave the Red Devils a 58-56 advantage with 1:22 to go. It was Williston's first lead since about the midway point of the third quarter. Eastside's Sir Jackson (15 points) missed a would-be game-tying jumper in the lane with five seconds to go and the Rams desperation heave at the buzzer was off the mark.
Prior to the finale, Faulkner retired Floyd's No.3 basketball jersey. The coach, Isaac's dad Danny and his sister Lenora also shared memories of the fallen star. Proceeds from the tripleheader will benefit the Team Mighty Ike Charitable Foundation in honor of Floyd.
Ed Porter finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds as Hawthorne knocked off Chiefland 57-48 in the second game. Leamon Wilson added 10 points for the Hornets (11-0), who were Class 1A state runners-up last season. Deshawn Roland and G'Angelo McClendon each netted 13 points for the Indians (5-5).
In the opener, Al Barber scored 16 points as Newberry (2-6) downed Bronson 55-39. Andrew Bailey had 18 points for the Eagles (5-6).

The "Cash for Clunkers" legislation, which provides the owner of an unwanted gas guzzler with a rebate of between $3,500 and $4,500 on a new car, depending on the improvement in gas mileage over their old vehicle, probably won't be implemented until September.
Some scrap processors that operate shredders see it as a positive for their recycling business, and steelmakers will benefit from increased demand for steel to make new vehicles and the abundance of shredded scrap when the clunkers are ripped apart. Similar laws have provided a stimulus to automakers in Germany and elsewhere in Europe and are seen as a market-driven way to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
The "Cash for Clunkers" law appeals to my selfish motives. I drive a 1998 Ford Mustang, and while the mileage is low—less than 85,000—it is more than 10 years old.
Today, many of us have come to expect more years of service and mileage from our cars. It is not unusual to see used car ads offering a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry with 125,000 miles on it; in the old days, even the rusted hulks in auto graveyards rarely had that much mileage.
The new law stipulates that the gas guzzlers must be scrapped. In other words, our lawmakers don't want to see any fuel-inefficient sport utility vehicles (SUVs) back on the road after they have ponied up $4,500 of our tax money. They want us tooling around in 30-mile-per-gallon sedans. No complaint from me about that. We hopefully will have cleaner air to breathe and reduce our dependence on imported oil.
But this is not the complete win-win situation that those in Washington foresee. Some will be left on the side of the road as old car owners take advantage of the rebate program.
Auto recyclers—once better known as junkyards or wreckers—are one group that comes to mind because the whole car has to be scrapped under the "Cash for Clunkers" law—it can't be picked apart. And there are others left out as well, including those who would have a tough time making monthly payments on a new car, regardless of the $4,500 chit from Uncle Sam, because their earnings are too low or their credit rating discourages lenders.
Yet another group are the do-it-yourself or "shade tree" auto mechanics, a group near and dear to my heart since I have been a full-fledged member of the group for several decades.
I have my late father to blame for this. He was a machinist and a toolmaker by trade, but his hobby was cars. Not too old, though. He was not interested in restoring a 1936 Lincoln or a LaSalle. No, he preferred those that were dead or near death and could be bought for about $20. Twice he bought cars with cracked engine blocks. Most would regard such defects as fatal, but not my father—they were challenges. One he had welded. The other, a 1953 Ford hardtop with a V-8 engine, had only a hairline crack between the piston wall and the valve—not enough to wreck the motor or leak water and antifreeze. It just had a rough idle once the engine was at operating temperature. With the radio volume high enough you hardly noticed it.
Most of the time we had at least one junker sitting in the driveway, sometimes as many as three. When there was work to be done on them, he was the supervisor and I and one or two of my teenage pals were the workers.
I learned a lot about cars from that experience—not enough to make me pursue a career in the auto industry, but enough to make me believe that no matter how badly a car was running, there was a part that could be replaced or something that could be adjusted to keep it roadworthy.
I've rarely owned a car that was less than 10 years old. My daughters often complained that I bought cars that were on the way to the junkyard. One such treasure was a 1980 Ford Pinto station wagon whose dark green paint had worn away on the hood and the roof. To them it was daddy's "tie-dyed car."
There were no mint-condition restorations en route to a classic car show, although I have owned a few that could have been included in that group had they been in better condition or had I devoted more time and money to their upkeep. My aim was simply to keep them running.
Cars were a lot more fun in those days. Working on them and making them run smoother felt like an accomplishment. From my father and others of his generation I learned that you only need the right combination of three things to get a car started—spark, battery and fuel. If you had a car with a dead battery and it was equipped with a stick shift, get it rolling up to about 5 or 10 mph, pop the clutch and it would soon be running. If the distributor points were the problem, reset them using a match book cover as a feeler gauge.
Cars today are a lot more complex and it takes a lot of training and several thousands of dollars of electronic equipment to diagnose what's wrong. We no longer have that sense of control over our cars that we once had, and that's a problem not only for those of us who used to enjoy tinkering with them .?.?. it also seems to be a problem for those who make cars.MICHAEL MARLEY

Three polls taken in June showed Barack Obama running even with John McCain in Virginia. No Democratic presidential candidate has carried Virginia since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Obama's internal polling must also show Virginia to be close because the Obama campaign is adding 20 new offices in the state, bringing the total to 30. McCain, by contrast, has five offices. Part of the drive to open offices may be a function of the sheer number of Obama's volunteers in the state. It's said that he has 10,000 of them, and they need places to hang their hats.
Naturally, Obama is focusing on vote-rich and fertile Northern Virginia. But he is also opening offices in unfriendly territory, such as Lynchburg in the south and Harrisonburg in the west. I doubt that there will be much bang for the buck in these parts. Recall that Obama had plenty of offices in some of the states he lost decisively to Hillary Clinton during the primary season. And David "Mudcat" Sanders, a savvy Democratic strategist in Roanoke says that Obama is doing badly in his neck of the woods. But if Virginia is going to be close, then it makes sense to scrap for votes everywhere, provided the campaign has the resources. Apparently it has them.
I once thought that Obama's efforts in Virginia might be intended merely to force McCain to devote resources to a state Republicans must win. But now it seems clear that Obama is playing to win.

Garnering rare Heisman Trophy buzz as a linebacker, Notre Dame's Manti Te'o has certainly grabbed the attention of No. 8 Oklahoma.
Te'o averages about 10 tackles per game, and he has four interceptions and a fumble recovery this season for a Fighting Irish defense that ranks second in the nation in points allowed and sixth in yards allowed.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops says the assignment of blocking Te'o will go to "whoever draws the unlucky straw."
It could fall to Sooners fullback Trey Millard, who has developed from a blocker into one of the team's most versatile playmakers. Two weeks ago against Texas, Millard had a career-high 119 yards receiving with a touchdown. He also caught a touchdown pass against Kansas last week on a seam route.

The Phillies activated Pedro Feliz from the 15-day disabled list week, and asked what that meant to the team Charlie Manuel said a few things:
1) It provided the Phillies stronger defense at third base.
2) It strengthened the bench.
3) It boosted the lineup because Feliz seems to come up with clutch hits time to time.
We're not calling Manuel the next Nostradamus, but Feliz came off the bench last night to have two huge hits in last night's 5-2 victory in 11 innings over the Los Angeles Dodgers. He hit a game-tying single in the ninth inning and a game-winning three-run homer to left-center field in the 11th inning. The victory allowd the Phillies to move within a half-game behind the New York Mets in the National League East.
"If that doesn't inspire you or give you a lift, I don't think you like to play," Manuel said.
Or watch.

RaboDirect PRO12
Cuthbert favours Blues stay
ESPN Staff
November 14, 2012
Alex Cuthbert has shone for the Blues this term and bagged a hat-trick against Sale in the Heineken Cup © PA Photos
Wales flyer Alex Cuthbert is keen to stay at the Cardiff Blues despite potential interest from France.
With the likes of James Hook, Mike Phillips, Gethin Jenkins and Luke Charteris all plying their trade in France, there are strong rumours that more Welsh internationals are poised to journey cross-Channel and turn their back on the RaboDirect PRO12. Jamie Roberts has already announced that he will leave the Blues at the end of the season, with Racing Metro his likely destination, while Dan Lydiate and Dan Biggar have also been strongly linked with the switch.
Cuthbert, whose contract is up at the end of the season, was also linked with a transfer to Racing Metro last season but he opted to stay at the Blues. And despite the potential larger wages in France, Cardiff Blues winger Cuthbert seems keen to stay at the region and told Wales Online, when asked whether remaining Wales was his first choice: "Yeah, I think so. I haven't spoke to my agent for a while about other offers."
With Roberts set for pastures new, Cuthbert and flanker Sam Warburton are likely to be two of their key players next term. "I'm grateful to the Blues for giving me a chance and it's exciting times," Cuthbert said. "The results aren't going the right way, but we are rebuilding and I knew it would take a couple of years.
"I know we have the players at the club and the club is working hard to attract some top players and to get some more experience in the squad. The region are at quite an exciting point, the start of something that is going to get better.
"I'm still developing and still have so much to learn. Being in the Wales environment helps a lot and is only going to further my development. The longer I'm in this environment, and the closer I am to it is only going to be good for me."

Officials from the Food and Drug Administration and the FBI will help in the ongoing investigation into a hepatitis C virus (HCV) outbreak at the cardiac catheterization lab at Exeter Hospital, US Attorney John Kacavas said Tuesday.
To date, a hospital worker and 19 patients at the heart lab have tested positive for HCV. The outbreak came to light last month after four people with identical HCV strains were diagnosed around the same time, and the lab was the only common link. State health officials suspect that an employee may have stolen medication meant for patients, injecting it and then reusing the syringes on people undergoing cardiac catheterization.
"This case presents a matter of public health and safety, and we have statutory authority at the federal level that fits these precise circumstances," said Kacavas.
The state attorney general's office also is investigating the outbreak, and a Concord lawyer is preparing a class-action lawsuit alleging the hospital was negligent in supervising its staff. The hospital is not commenting on the lawsuit or the investigation.
State and local health departments are not required to report such outbreaks to CDC, though the agency was notified of 13 nationwide between 2008 and 2011. Of those, seven were linked to outpatient facilities; most were the result of unsafe injection practices; and at least two have resulted in criminal charges.

Val d'Isère has something for skiers and boarders of all levels. No, really. From Olympic and World Cup runs to a wealth of fantastic off-piste opportunities to several green runs high on the mountain, this world-class resort has earned its reputation as one of France's top ski destinations. Freestylers can also get their kicks in the famous Oakley ValPark, which like the rest of the resort, offers something for green, blue, red, and black levels. Val d'Isere is linked to neighbouring Tignes; the two resorts combine to form the Espace Killy ski area.
The Mountain
The base of Val d'Isère sits at 1850 metres and from there, the pistes climb up to 3488 metres, at the Pointe du Montet and the Pissaillas glacier, just below at 3450 metres. Skiers have a choice of 150 kilometres of pistes for all levels, serviced by 90 lifts.
This is the home resort of legendary skier Jean-Claude Killy, which explains the name of the linked ski area, Espace Killy. Val d'Isère is one half and Tignes makes up the other. Some of the world's best skiers leave their tracks here and the resort has hosted Olympic and World Cup downhill competitions, as well as the Alpine Ski World Championships. Val d'Isère is the only resort in recent times to hold this triple honour.
This doesn't mean that the resort is reserved for advanced skiers and world champs, though. In fact, about 55 percent of its runs are either green or blue. The resort also has five beginner zones, two of which are large "ski tranquil" areas, criss-crossed with easy runs.
Of course, advanced skiers will find all the slope they need to push their skills to the limits, thanks to legendary runs like the incredibly steep La Face, used for the men's Olympic downhill. The most challenging run, La Forêt, cuts through the trees and is ideal for mogul fans.
The resort can be divided into three areas: Bellevarde, Le Fornet, and Le Solaise, with varying difficulty levels for each.
Powder Day
Val d'Isère offers some of France's most difficult runs. La Face, La Forêt, 3000, Piste S, and Le Tunnel are to be conquered by high-level skiers, but not all pistes are created equal.
La Forêt, as mentioned earlier, is both steep and bumpy, so avoid it if you have tired knees. La Face is indeed one of the steeper slopes, but the piste is wide and open, so there is plenty of room for winding you way down. There is no escape route though, so once you're on it, you're on it for good.
Some black runs can be closed depending on the weather. Epaule du Charvet closes when there is too much snow, because there is a real avalanche risk. 3000 and Le Tunnel are also open sporadically and can be extremely difficult when it gets tracked out.
Val d'Isère also offers some great, challenging red runs. The OK is one of the most famous, having been used for the World Cup. It's best to hit these and other pistes in the Bellevarde area in the morning, when there are smaller crowds. You can then work your way up to the Le Fornet, where snow is nearly always excellent, and to Le Solaise, which tends to be calmer after lunchtime.
For off-pisting, the Le Fornet area offers the best jumping off points. Beneath the Cascades lift, there is an open slope that usually stays fresh for a long time, thanks to the high altitude and lower traffic levels in the area.
Groomers and Family
Val d'Isère really is a family resort and they have lots to choose from in terms of easy and intermediate runs.
Beginners will enjoy not being stuck at the bottom of the resort, as is often the case. The Bellevarde and the Solaise areas both offer gentle "ski tranquil" zones, full of green runs. Solaise is the main area of Val d'Isère and can get pretty busy quickly, but if you want to start your day here, take the Datcha lift or Madeleine Express up to the green run of the same name, at 2600 metres.
At Solaise, the Datcha lift, the Madeleine Express, and the Glacier Express all run up to a good choice of blue slopes that are easy enough for low-level skiers with a little confidence. The long Piste L runs down to Val d'Isère 1850 and can be a good way to end the day.
At Bellevarde, the "ski tranquil" area includes five green runs, including the long Verte, which runs all the way down the mountain. The Olympique lift and the Funival lead up to a slightly steep section that precedes the green runs, but you can bypass this by getting successively the La Daille, Mont Blanc, and Borsat Express lifts. From the top of the Borsat Express, you can choose between three easy runs.
Boarders from around the world come to Val d'Isère for its varied terrain, but also for the open attitude to snowboard culture. Every single run is open to boarders.
The freestyle crowd likes the Oakley ValPark, in the Bellevarde area. To get here, take the Olympique lift or the La Daille cable car.
Once here, there are modules for all levels. An enlarged beginner zone offers a variety of modules so that you can learn to do tricks safely but there is also a black zone for expert freestylers. All in all, there are 25 different modules that include walls, rails, kicks, hips, and jumps as well as an all-level boarder cross and a half pipe. The ValPark aims to make freestyle skiing and boarding accessible to everyone who wants to try it, so they take special care to offer something for all levels.
Every year, the park makes improvements based on feedback from clients and the creative spark from its team of passionate shapers. It was here that some of the world's best freestyle athletes came to train for the X-Games Europe, held in neighbouring Tignes.
Breakfast if often included in the price of the hotel, especially if you book a package deal. Many hotels even offer copious breakfast buffets complete with eggs, sausages, and cheeses since the clientele is so international.
Le Petit Danois, just behind the La Daille bus station, touts itself as the resort's number one party bar, but it's also a good place to find a full breakfast selection, including full and half English breakfasts, and even vegetarian versions, which is something pretty rare in France. Plan to spend €12.50 for the full breakfast, €8.50 for the others.
For a quicker option, you can always grab a quick café au lait and croissant or baguette and butter at one of the many resort cafés. Try La Sana, which is in the centre of the resort, just across from the ESF ski school, at the corner of rue Noël Machet and the rue du Parc des Sports.
Head to La Tête de Solaise, atop the namesake summit, for lunch with a view of the surrounding mountains. The restaurant was recently renovated in a retro mountain style and is actually three different eateries: a self-service cafeteria, a sit-down restaurant, and a pizzeria.
At the base village, a good bet is La Corniche, just behind the church. They serve a wide variety of typical French fare, which is well prepared. Specialities include several varieties of fondue as well as unique dishes like venison with red currants and seafood marmite. Main dishes run from €20-28.
La Table de l'Ours, located in the Barmes de l'Ours hotel, serves fine cuisine that has earned chef Anthony Maubert a Michelin star. The atmosphere could be described as cosy mountain chic, with a blazing fireplace, white linens, and understated refinement. Try some of the traditional mountain fare with a decidedly upscale twist, like the tartiflette enhanced with truffle-stuffed pork belly and lamb morsels. Fixed price menus range from €85€-€185 and can include up to 12 courses.
La Grande Ourse also offers fine dining, with dishes like saffron and lobster claw pasta, Sisteron lamb with stuffed vegetables, and whole roasted bass with gnocchi gratin. The restaurant goes all the way back to 1936, when it was the one of the top places in the resort to grab a sandwich and cup of hot wine. Since the 1970s, it has been serving fine French cuisine, in a warm atmosphere accentuated with time-worn wood beams and a fire that adds a touch of charm. You'll find La Grande Ourse next to La Savonnette drag lift, near the Le Brussels hotel.
The Ormelune restaurant, in the hotel of the same name, goes for a more off-beat style, with polka dot and striped chairs and flashy tableware. On the menu, you'll find quality meat dishes and pasta, as well as handful of varied salads to start. Main dishes range from €18-22.
Head back to Le Petit Danois, where you will find wraps and salads for around €10 plus burgers and pub grub for a few extra euros.
Après / Nightlife
Val d'Isère is known for its nightlife, so get après ski started at La Rosée Blanche, which is just at the foot of the La Daille. It's a quiet option, where you can sip Val's best vin chaud and watch the last skiers make their way down the mountain.
Otherwise, the M Bar at the Tsanteleina Hotel sets the mood with lounge music, champagne cocktails, and dimmed lighting. The bar also has free wifi, in case you want to take a little time to connect with loved ones back home to recount your exploits on the pistes.
To finish the night on a hot note, there's Dick's Tea Bar, which has been a staple of Val d'Isère nightlife for 30 years. It came under new management in 2010-2011 and underwent renovations. Now guests party in a cool Nordic atmosphere, bathed in blue, turquoise, and violet light. International DJs regularly rock the dance floor, so check their website for the programme.
While many resorts claim to have "something for everyone," Val d'Isère really does. From great off pisting opportunities to exciting beginner areas and a world renowned snow park, this top resort offers a variety of great skiing, eating, and partying opportunities.
In terms of skiing, the Glacier de Pissaillas is an interesting stop, as even beginner skiers can do it. Green, blue, and red pistes run along the glacier and the chance to ski so high without being a great skier makes the detour worth it.
On the slopes, you may want to check out the on-mountain restaurant La Folie Douce, though more for the lively atmosphere and a round of drinks. The food is simply over-priced for what it is. It is located at the top of the La Daille gondola lift, but often you can find it by following the music. On good weather days, the terrace turns into an open-air afternoon dance club. If you are staying at Tignes, though, just be sure to leave in time to catch the last lift back at 5 pm. Otherwise, you'll have a very long bus ride back from the bottom of the pistes.
Val d'Isère also packs its winter calendar full with high-level sporting events. Every December the First Ski Criterium offers guests two weekends of downhill ski world cup competition, one for men and the other for women.
ValPark Week, the White Battle and Altigliss, all held in March, put the spotlight on freestyle ski and boarding. During ValPark Week, around 50 expert freestylers offer guests an impressive free show. The White Battle pits three-member teams against each other in a freestyle board and ski competition at the foot of the La Face slope. The Altigliss Challenge brings students in from Europes's best ski schools to compete in giant slalom, boarder cross, big air, and parallel slalom events.

According to the Hebrew Bible, Moses enlisted divine assistance to part the Red Sea and allow the Israelites to pass through it. King Canute is known to legend as the monarch whose courtiers told him he could command the sea. He is also known as the king who could not stop the sea but stemmed the Viking tide. And now Barack Obama claims the possession of powers that leave them in the dust.
At the end of his victory speech last night in St. Paul, Obama declared that we would be able to look back on his election to the presidency as "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." Lest you think this seems a bit presumptuous, he also noted that he makes this claim "with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations."

Just before beginning her hunger strike, Ms. Zalmanson described the harsh conditions in the labor camps at a Simchat Torah "Festival of Freedom," sponsored by the Greater New .York Conference on Soviet Jewry. "A total lack of medical treatment, severe cold, a near starvation diet and constant exposure to other prisoners, mostly former Nazis, degenerates and informers," was heri description -of " the Mvay "Soviet Jewish prisoners are forjeed toJiye.in," labor camps in the U.S.S.R. Ms. Zalmanson was released from prion in mid-1973 after widespread protests in the West. She, her husband, and two brothers were convicted of attempting to hijack a plane in an aborted effort to escape from the Soviet Union. RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO UNITED NATIONS (WNS) - Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger has declared that the United States will begin discussions on the reopening of the Geneva conference on the Mideast as well as "explore possibilities for perhaps a more informal multi-lateral meeting to assess conditions and to discuss the future." His remarks were made to the United Nations General Assembly which opened its 30th annual policy debate. Kissinger's suggestion for a multi-lateral meeting was seen by observers in Washington as a means of bringing the Palestinians, perhaps even the Palestine Liberation Organization, into the talks. In his UN address, Kissinger stressed -that the Israel-Egyptian agreement in the Sinai created an opportunity for further progress "but opportunities must be seized or they will disappear." He said the U.S. is "prepared to , make a. .serious, effort countries have held parallel views that the situation in the Middle East poses grave dangers and that partial steps must be part of and just and durable peace in the Mideast requires meeting the concerns and interests of all countries in the area, including their territorial contribute to progress \ integrity, their right to live toward a comprehensive / in peace and security and the settlement." He said discussions have begun with the Soviet Union toward that end. Kissinger said the role of the IJN is essential in the Mideast noting that UN troops have become indispensable to the disengagementv agreements in the Sinai and the Golan Heights. He stressed that/a legitimate interest of the Palestinians. Kissinger's speech drew a favorable reaction from Israeli Ambassador Chaim Herzog. He told a gathering of Jewish leaders that he was pleased with the "strong measure of American leadership" enunciated in the address and hopes the American representatives at the UN would maintain this "new look." " Soviet Foreign-Minister Andrei A. Gromyko, in his Assembly address was .moderate in tone and he criticized but did not attack either the U.S. or Israel. Gromyko said the Soviet Union wants the Geneva conference reconvened with the participation of all parties concerned, including the PLO. He declared that "to establish a just and lasting peace in the Middle , (CONTINUED ON PAGE 12) encourage negotiations between Syria and Israel." He also noted that despite "important differences" between the U.S. and the Soviet Union "our two WASHINGTON (JTA) - The second Egyptian-Israeli Sinai accord and U.S. commitments associated with it occupied the attention of the Senate Foreign Relations and the House Armed Services Committee Sept. 24. In addition, a military contract with Saudi to-';A2rabia of nearly $1.5 billion was before the Senate panel. The Egyptian Ambassador, Ashraf Ghorbal, testified at the House meeting for about 90 minutes behind closed doors. The Congressmen reportedly were seek¬ ing more information on Egyptian - American understandings stemming from the accord, particularly U.S. military assistance to Cairo reportedly favored by the Administration, once the Israeli withdrawal is . completed. Ghorbal's appearance was highly unusual. Congressional observers said they could not remember a previous occasion when a foreign ambassador 'appeared Imprisonment Is The Price For Immigration By David Friedman NEW YORK (JTA) - "Imprisonment is the price for immigration to Israel." This is the way Shimon Grilius, a 30-year-old Vilna- born electronics engineer, on Sept. 23 summed up his five years of hard labor in Soviet prisons. Grilius, the first' Orthodox Jewish "Prisoner of Conscience" to emigrate to Israel, received especially harsh treatment when he tried to observe kashrut, the Shabbat and other religious laws in prison. He is now in • New York to spend a month . as the first "Hero-in- Residence" under a program sponsored by the sponsored by the GNYCSJ. Nearly 1000 people braved the rainy weather to attend the demonstration. Many of them marched to the Isaiah Wall opposite the United Nations where Zalmanson began a hunger strike in support of her husband, Eduard Kuznetsov and the other "Prisoners of Conscience." Individuals and organizations were expected to join her as she appears before the Isaiah Wall from 8 a.m. to 8 p.ni. daily.' Kuznetsov, who was sentenced in Dec.. 1970 in the first Leningrad trial, is still serving a 15-year sentence. . Grilius stressed that the cause of prisoners and the Greater New York Jewish activists and Conference on. Soviet Jewry emigration are all part of the and the.Board of Jewish2 Education. During, the month he will speak.. at Jewish schools in the daytime arid before adult groups in 2 the, evening. Speaking in •Hebrew;-GriiiuS was interviewed before he arid another .. former "Prisoner of, Conscience," Sylvia Zalmanson, participated in a.Siriiqhat Torah ' 2. "Festival of Freedom" in front of the New York Public Library - same -issue. He said Jews should seek the freedom not only of the 'TOCs" but of all Jews in the Soviet Union. He "said, the fact < that he, . Zalmanson and others are in Israel and are able to come -to the .United States to seek help ;f or other Jews is "a • miracle of God but God also expects us to help in his miracles." He.said he'has learned that-Jews'are hot ' people of separate nations . but are all one, and that when one Jew suffers all Jews must come to his defense. The young engineer was arrested on July 21,1969 in Raizan in central Russia along with several other young Jews at the University of Raizan,, an engineering school, because they had been seeking to emigrate since 1966. Grilius noted that he and others had gone to, Raizan because quotas for Jews made it impossible to go to universities near their homes; The charge was anti- Soviet activities.: Grilius said the only evidence presented by the authorities was that he had a record called "The Diary of the Six-Day War." He said another piece of evidence was an article written by Yuri Vudka, the only one of the students who was Orthodox before imprisonment, arguing that Jews had a right to emigrate to Israel on the basis of a return to their national homeland. This was written • in 1966, a year before the major drive for aliya, which was spurred by the Six-Day War, began. Grilius, who said he was raised as a traditional not a religious Jew, noted that both his grandfather and father had been imprisoned under Stalin for wanting to remain Jews. His grandfather was subsequently killed by the Nazis in Lithuania." Grilius spent two years in the Putma Labor camp and three years in Perm, all of them under strict regime. He suffered the same harsh treatment that other Jewish prisoners did, including the indignity of sharing quarters with former Nazis. But for the religious prisoners it was even harsher, he said. He related that they tried to .(CONTINUED ON PAGE IS) \ nate And House before a committee' of Congress.

It is ■ designed, sources at the Capitol said, to help speed the Sinai accord to a Senate vote by incorporating in a resolution ' of approval information summarizing all the U.S. undertakings.

Any party to a derivation proceeding dissatisfied with the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board on the derivation proceeding, may have remedy by civil action, if commenced within such time after such decision, not less than sixty days, as the Director appoints or as provided in section 141, unless he has appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and such appeal is pending or has been decided.

Note: For help, please check out our New York Traffic Lawyer page.
Change is brewing in the surcharges for various offenses in the NY traffic courts and criminal courts. I've posted a portion of the schedule below that's most relevant to what we do, in the usual traffic ticket and DWI cases, will discuss these massive tax increases further below. I should also note that this schedule is for town and village courts. They may be $5 less in city courts, as they are now.
What you can see for starters is that the surcharge for simple traffic tickets has gone from $55 to $85. That is a whopping 55% tax increase (the $30 increase being 55% of the original $55 surcharge, which is not shown in the chart). Equipment violations go from $35 to $55 (57% increase). And that's not the bad news. The big monsters are on the DWI offenses. For a simple DWAI, the surcharge was $80. That is going up to $280 - a 250% tax increase. For DWI misdemeanors, the surcharge goes to $400 from what I remember as $110, and that's a 264% increase.
To give some context, the maximum fine for a speed from 11-30 mph over the limit is $300, and $150 is a typical fine. With the surcharge, that raises the final number from $205 to $235. That doesn't seem all that bad, but it's still more taxes.
With the DWAI it's huge. Fine range for a DWAI is $300-500, and many judges fine the minimum on first-time offenders. Thus, a typical plea means $380 in court fines and surcharges (not counting the other costs you get hit with). Now that $380 goes to $580. With a DWI, the minimum fine is $500, $610 with the current surcharge. That goes to $900 now.
Along with other changes in the court system, like DAs adopting policies that limit plea bargaining, this will encourage more defendants to hire lawyers, especially in DWI cases. It is now easier for me to make the economic case to a potential client. They DA policies mean they have little to lose (except our fees) by fighting a DWI case. At the same time, they have more to gain if we win, because they will avoid the now-higher surcharges.
With all the concerns people have about the economy, criminal defense appears to be recession-proof. What's really going on here is the legislature and the governor need revenue from somewhere. They think they can get away with hiding tax increases in fines, surcharges and assessments. And they're probably right. By sticking it to the speeding and drinking taxpayers, they are also making economic life easier for the Albany Lawyer, and others like me.
Please don't think for a second that I approve of these policy changes. They will help me financially but I was doing fine already. This is a gross perversion of any sensible tax policy. Liberals supposedly favor progressive taxes, where those with higher income or wealth pay higher taxes. These fines, surcharges and assessments are applied to all with no sensitivity to their economic circumstances. In reality, wealthier people are more likely to hire a lawyer to help them, and we do save them money overall. So these tax increases actually hurt the middle class and the poor harder.
Thanks to our faithful commenter, pml, for e-mailing the chart to me.

Hardee was a beloved figure who enriched many lives with his charisma, sense of humor and old-school grasp of baseball.
Brack Hardee, a local baseball star and son of the late, legendary coach Buck Hardee, died at 3:45 a.m. Saturday following a two-year battle with brain cancer.
He would have turned 44 on July 2.
His mother, Mitzi Watson Hardee, died from cancer in April. Cancer also claimed Buck's life in 2005.
Hardee was a beloved figure who enriched many lives with his charisma, sense of humor and old-school grasp of baseball.
Retired Major League Baseball outfielder Trot Nixon, retired New Hanover County athletic director Joe Miller and former teammates were among those who portrayed Hardee as happy-go-lucky, baseball-savvy and dedicated.
"He was a good person,'' Miller said. "His attitude was such that his cup was always half full. He always had a big smile. He always made the best of everything. He got that from his dad.''
Buck was easygoing and conscientious and Brack was the embodiment of Buck, a long-time New Hanover High School and Post 10 legion baseball coach for whom the baseball field at Legion Stadium is named.
"Brack had such an infectious personality and he found positive humor in everything,'' said Trent Mongero, a former teammate at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. "He was the life of the party and he lived his life to the fullest."
Hardee starred at New Hanover as a catcher, the same position as his father, who was his coach before retiring following his son's final prep game in 1988.
Hardee signed with Mount Olive College, where he played center field as a freshman before transferring to UNCW, where he played with Mongero for one season.
Seahawks teammates often marveled at Hardee's knowledge and insights into the game and methods of motivating players.
"Brack had an uncanny ability to figure people out and get them to play at their best," Mongero said. "As a catcher, he understood the game so well. He was like a coach on the field."
"He was like a professional on the field," said former UNCW battery mate Heath Altman. "He could do anything out there because he had been around it his whole life. He knew every position on the field."
For two years, 1990-91, Hardee backed up Corey Broome, who eventually caught two seasons in the minor leagues with Detroit.
Altman remembers Hardee as an excellent situational hitter. He was a master at the slash – show bunt, then swing away – and routinely executed sacrifice bunts and the hit and run.
He also always had a flair for the dramatic. As New Hanover's quarterback in 1986, he twice engineered fourth-quarter comeback victories with touchdown passes.
In March 1990, Hardee, in a pinch-hitting role, delivered a no balls, two-strike game-winning single in the 10th inning in a 2-1 UNCW victory over Towson.
More than hitting, Hardee brought intangibles and humor when he caught. Ex-teammates said Hardee used to help position fielders and called pitches that exploited hitters' weaknesses.
"I remember having an 0-2 count and Brack wanted me to throw a knuckle ball, which I did not throw," Altman said. "He wanted me to throw it because I messed around with it in the bullpen."
Altman remembers Hardee putting down the sign, which was a knuckle ball grip. He remembers reluctantly throwing it and hitting the Charleston Southern batter in the back with it.
"He knew he and I were in control out there and we could get the next couple of batters," Altman said. "That was his way of having fun within the game."
Mongero, a shortstop, remembers another meeting on the mound after the pitcher became wild. The infielders also gathered around. Mongero wanted to discuss strategy, but Hardee had a better idea.
"Brack told a joke to the pitcher and they laughed and Brack just said, 'Go get them,' and headed back behind the plate," Mongero said. "The pitcher threw three straight strikes. He was able to do things the average person could not figure out. Brack just knew how to break the tension in baseball games."
Following his playing days, Hardee followed in his father's footsteps, returning to New Hanover as an assistant football and baseball coach who helped Nixon develop into the seventh overall selection by Boston in the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft.
"Brack is not much older than me," said Nixon, 39. "He was one of those people who gave tirelessly to the game of baseball and to players. He was someone you could talk to and he came from a family with rich athletic tradition and ethics. He was instrumental in my life. He poured his heart and soul into all the kids he worked with."
Hardee also helped coach the Wilmington Post 10 American Legion team with an array of coaches, including Mongero and Miller. Hardee was on coach Dave Brewster's staff when the Wildcats captured state 4A titles in 1993 and 1994.
"Brack was an extremely good coach," Miller said. "He was born to coach, with it being in his blood."
Before moving to Florida in the early 2000s, Hardee was part owner of Wilmington Baseball Academy. In January 2002, Hardee accepted a job at the Bucky Dent Baseball School before it changed to Elev8 Sports Institute, where he served as national director of camps and dean of students before his declining health caused him to return to Wilmington.
Hardee married Sarah Morris, the sister of former New Hanover and UNCW player Hamer Morris. Hardee and Morris married in 2003 and had two children, son Hunter and daughter Ella.

Army bus ambushed in Egypt's Sinai, soldier killed
March 30, 2014
EL-ARISH, Egypt (AP) — Egyptian security officials say suspected militants have attacked a military bus carrying policemen in the restive Sinai Peninsula, killing the soldier driving it.
They say three police were wounded in the Sunday ambush in the town of Sheik Zuwayed on the road to Rafah on the border with Gaza.
The gunmen fled after clashing with troops while the wounded were transferred to hospital in critical condition.
Security officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists.
Insurgent attacks in the Sinai have surged in the nine months since the military ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gio Gonzalez knew he wasn't going back to the mound after throwing 102 pitches in 101-degree heat.
The game was tied in the middle of the sixth inning, so if Gonzalez was to get his 12th win of the season, the Washington Nationals needed to score against the Colorado Rockies before making three outs.
And that's precisely what happened.
Gonzalez pitched six innings of three-hit ball, and the Nationals used a three-run sixth to post a 4-1 victory Saturday.
Gonzalez (12-3) won his fourth straight start to move into a tie with R.A. Dickey of the New York Mets for the major league lead in wins. He allowed one run, walked three and struck out six.
Gonzalez matched Livan Hernandez for most wins by a Nationals pitcher before the All-Star break. Were it not for the productive sixth inning, it never would have happened for the hard-throwing lefty who's headed to the All-Star game for a second time.
"He didn't want to leave with the game tied," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. "I said 'You're done. You're not talking me out of nothing and we'll get you a win right here.' Thank goodness we got him the win. He pitched great."
Gonzalez's desire to stay in the game had nothing to do with personal goals. He simply wanted a win, and figured he was best equipped to pull it off.
"It's an honor to know the team won today," he said. "That's all that matters to me. It was a team win."
Obtained in an offseason trade with Oakland, Gonzalez has been everything the Nationals could have possibly wanted.
"I don't know what kind of run support he got there in Oakland, but he's certainly been stingy giving up runs and hits here," Johnson said. "He's been very consistent. He's been fun to watch."
It was the fifth victory in six games for the Nationals, who own the best record in the NL. The only loss in that span came Friday night against Colorado in a game started by Washington's Stephen Strasburg.
Only once this season have the Nationals lost successive games started by Strasburg and Gonzalez, on April 28-29 against the Dodgers, but through five innings this was anyone's game.
Danny Espinosa led off the sixth with a double off Jeff Francis (2-2). After a single by Bryce Harper put runners on the corners, Ryan Zimmerman hit an RBI single off Josh Roenicke.
On a wild pitch, Zimmerman took off for second. Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario's throw was off target, and the error enabled Harper to score from third.
Later in the inning, Zimmerman came home on an errant pickoff throw by Roenicke.
After Gonzalez left, three Washington relievers allowed three hits over three innings. Tyler Clippard worked the ninth for his 14th save.
Colorado finished with four errors, tying a season high. Dexter Fowler had three hits for the Rockies, who have lost six of eight and totaled 14 runs in their last seven games.
"Today wasn't so much about pitching as it was our lack of offense and the fact that we threw the ball around a little bit in the sixth inning," Colorado manager Jim Tracy said. "When you get six hits in a game and one guy gets three of them, there's not a tremendous amount of offensive opportunity."
Ian Desmond made it 1-0 in the second inning with his 16th home run, a drive that barely cleared the right-field scoreboard. The shortstop has five homers and 13 RBIs over his last 12 games.
During the game, however, the team announced Desmond would miss Tuesday's All-Star game with a left oblique strain. He has been dealing with the injury since mid-June and will use the break to rest.
"It's definitely a tough decision, one that we spent quite a few days kind of mulling over," Desmond said. "But in the end I think it's best for the team and best for myself to take the rest. I would hate to be two, three weeks down the road and something happened and I didn't take the four days to rest my body and put the team first."
Colorado tied it in the fourth. Michael Cuddyer hit a leadoff double, moved to third on a groundout and scored with a headfirst slide on rookie Jordan Pacheco's sacrifice fly to right.
Both teams got a runner into scoring position in the fifth. Colorado wasted a two-out double by Fowler, and the Nationals came up empty after opening the bottom half with successive singles by Desmond and Tyler Moore.
Notes: Harper was named to the All-Star team as a replacement for Miami's Giancarlo Stanton. ... Zimmerman has 18 RBIs over his last 13 games. ... Fowler is on a 7-for-12 run over his last three games. ... Jordan Zimmermann (5-6) takes the mound for the Nationals in the series finale against the Rockies and right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, who's 3-8 with a 6.28 ERA but 2-1 with a 2.34 ERA lifetime against Washington. ... Colorado's Carlos Gonzalez went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts.

A Tracy dairyman facing more than $1.1 million in penalties for allowing "massive" amounts of manure to accumulate on his property is scheduled to argue his case before water quality officials on Thursday.
A Tracy dairyman facing more than $1.1 million in penalties for allowing "massive" amounts of manure to accumulate on his property is scheduled to argue his case before water quality officials on Thursday.
An attorney for Henry Tosta protested the amount of the fine in letters to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, saying that Tosta is under "severe economic strain" along with the rest of the dairy industry.
The case may, in fact, spell the "end of Mr. Tosta's life as a dairyman," wrote Sacramento attorney Lee N. Smith, who argued that Tosta has made substantial progress cleaning up the property in recent months.
The board acknowledges that progress but says "significant" amounts of manure remain, more than a year after the problem was uncovered during an inspection.
The 1,000 cows at the property have been producing manure faster than Tosta has been removing it, regulators say.
The state defends the penalty by reporting that the Tosta dairy has total assets of almost $6 million and $1.6 million in equity capital, enough to allow it to remain in business even after paying the fine.
The investigation started as the result of an inspection in May 2012. Mounds of manure were piled up in an area not designed to store waste, and inspectors later said they believed wastewater had overflowed from holding ponds, threatening a small channel that drains into the sensitive Delta.
Fearing that the shallow groundwater table had also been tainted, inspectors had to shovel away manure in order to access one of three wells on the property. They reported that the groundwater had indeed been contaminated with high levels of nitrates, a fertilizer byproduct that can be a serious health risk for pregnant women and infants.
Tosta was ordered to clean up the site. But the same problems were seen in follow-up inspections, and it was only recently - as Thursday's hearing approached - that progress has been made, the state reported.
"Despite repeated site visits by staff and extensive communications with the (property owner), ... conditions at the site remain unremediated," the state said.
In a related action, regulators proposed fining Tosta an additional $239,563, claiming he illegally buried dead cows from the dairy on a separate property. That case is still pending, Tosta's attorney said Monday.

In this exclusive interview, Rich Sharples, Product Management Director at Red Hat, talks about OpenJDK. the free and open source implementation of the Java SE platform. The IcedTea project, one of Red Hat's major contributions to the OpenJDK ecosystem, has done a great deal to enable upstream adoption of Java on the Linux platform; however, the question remains whether Java would've been more ubiquitous throughout the Linux universe had Sun open sourced Java much sooner than it actually did. Rich discusses some of these issues and talks about some of the new features in OpenJDK 7, as well as the impact that dynamic languages, increased modularity and virtualization will have on the Java platform. He also describes the impact he thinks Oracle's acquisition will have on licensing options around OpenJDK.

The timing belt is a rubber belt located in the engine compartment behind the drive belts. Its job is to keep the crankshaft in sync with the camshaft(s), ensuring the proper timing and operation of the engine valves and therein, the engine.
Follow the maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer and replace the timing belt as recommended. The timing belt drives the water pump in 60% of the cars. The labor cost of replacing the water pump is significantly higher than the cost of the pump. While replacing the timing belt, it is cost effective to replace the water pump. We highly recommend replacing the timing belt pulleys and tensioners. The tensioner applies pressure to the timing belt keeping it tight, while the pulleys keep the timing belt in line. These components are sealed units that contain bearings (they cannot be lubricated on a regular basis). The bearings wear out over time and may seize, causing the timing belt to come off, which can cause major internal engine damage.
Ignoring the replacement of a timing belt as a part of scheduled maintenance, could result in major engine failure down the road. You should not wait for your timing belt to break, it must be serviced regularly.
Our service team is available 7 days a week, Monday - Friday from 6 AM to 5 PM PST, Saturday - Sunday 7 AM - 4 PM PST.

- Try to walk with another person or group of people when walking to and from school, including going to the bus stop.
- Carry a cell phone in case you need to call someone for immediate assistance.
- When confronted by a stranger who makes you feel uncomfortable or making unwanted advances, run away and tell someone you're being followed by a stranger.
- Carry a whistle on a lanyard that could be used when being confronted by someone that you feel is a threat to do harm to you.
- Always call 911 immediately to report the person/s that just confronted you and are making unwanted advances. Don't wait until you get to school to tell school officials.

The city's Planning Board approved Greeneway Wellness Center's site plan for 30 Mozzone Blvd. on Thursday night.
TAUNTON — Although Greeneway Wellness Center didn't secure a state license to open a medical marijuana dispensary in Taunton, it is still forging ahead with plans to build a 36,000-square-foot indoor cultivation center in the city to supply its other dispensary sites across the state.
"For all the applications we went for, Taunton cultivation and corporate offices were part of it," Greeneway principal John Greene said.
Greene went before the Taunton Planning Board on Thursday for a site plan review. He hopes to secure a special permit to build a medical marijuana cultivation and processing center, as well as his corporate offices, at a former nail factory at 30 Mozzone Blvd. During Thursday's meeting, the Planning Board voted to endorse the plan for a cultivation center but not a dispensary. The board will convey that vote in the form of a formal recommendation to the City Council, which has the authority to grant or deny a special permit.
Last Friday, the state Department of Public Health gave provisional approval to 20 medical marijuana dispensaries statewide. Greeneway's application for a dispensary in Cambridge was provisionally approved, but its applications for dispensaries in Taunton and Brockton were not. DPH didn't outright reject Greeneway's Taunton and Brockton bids, but instead put them on a list of applicants that can reapply for a dispensary license in another county.
Medical Marijuana of Massachusetts Inc., which is headed by former U.S. Rep. Bill Delahunt, got provisional state approval to open a dispensary in Taunton but still must secure a special permit from the city before opening the facility. City officials said Thursday that Taunton has not yet received a special permit application from Medical Marijuana of Massachusetts, which also received provisional licensure for dispensaries in Mashpee and Plymouth.
Greeneway attorney David Gay explained that his client hoped to keep the dispensary in the Taunton site plan to keep the door open in case licensure is granted in the future. He added that there would be no dispensing of marijuana without a license from the state.
"If we don't get a dispensary license, we will use that space for office space or storage," Gay said. "We're not going to delete it, because we don't know what's going to happen in the future."
In 2012, Massachusetts voters approved a ballot question legalizing medical marijuana.
Last year, the City Council passed a zoning ordinance that restricts medical marijuana facilities to industrial districts and requires that they obtain a special permit.
Greene estimates that within two years, Greeneway's Taunton facility would employ 40 to 60 people. Its production output would increase in each of the first few years, producing enough marijuana-based medication to treat 4,500 patients by the end of the third year of operation, he said.
"It's good for the city, from the jobs respect and the revenue," Planning Board Chairman Dan Dermody said.
During the meeting, representatives of Greeneway fielded questions from the Planning Board.
Greene spoke about the cultivation and processing operation. The Taunton facility, he said, would produce a variety of marijuana products, including smokeable marijuana, liquid concentrates and pills.
"This is a business of healing people," Greene said. "This is not a business of getting people high."
Greeneway would use an armored van to transport marijuana products from Taunton to its licensed dispensaries.
A few Planning Board members, including police officer Manuel Spencer, expressed concerns about the possibility of a local dispensary.
"I think we're all for the medical use, but we do have concerns that it's going to be in the city of Taunton and what's going to happen," Spencer said. "We work the streets. We see what's happening. People already get multiple scripts for regular meds."
The Planning Board also voted to approve Greeneway's site plan, but keep it open for further modification, if necessary.
The special permit request now heads to the City Council.

Trayvon Martin's parents shocked by verdict
MIAMI (AP) — Trayvon Martin's parents made appearances on network news shows Thursday, saying they are still shocked that jurors acquitted George Zimmerman in the 2012 shooting death of their 17-year-old son.
"My son was unarmed, and the person that shot and killed him got away with murder," Sybrina Fulton told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Thursday night, as she made the case for a change in self-defense laws. She said she's now afraid for her oldest son and not sure how to advise him to react when faced with a threat.
On NBC's "Today" show earlier Thursday, Fulton questioned whether jurors looked at the shooting from her son's point of view.
"He was a teenager. He was scared. He did run," Fulton said, who added that she believes the justice system failed her son.
"We didn't get the verdict we wanted because we wanted him to be (held) accountable."
Martin's father, Tracy Martin, expressed disbelief in the verdict handed down Saturday by a six-woman jury following a three-week trial in central Florida.
"We felt in our hearts that we were going to get a conviction," Martin said. "We felt that the killer of our unarmed child was going to be convicted of the crime he committed."
On ABC's "Good Morning America," Tracy Martin said he felt the jury did not get a chance to get to know the teen. "They didn't know him as a human being," he said.
Martin's parents said they still believe Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, racially profiled their son.
"Obviously, any time you have a person that makes an assumption that a person is up to no good, that's some kind of profiling," Martin said. "Was he racially profiled? I think if Trayvon had been white, this never would have happened."
Martin's parents said they support the federal government looking into the case. The Justice Department announced Sunday it plans to review the case to determine whether federal prosecutors should file criminal civil rights charges now that Zimmerman has been acquitted.
Zimmerman, who was charged with second-degree murder, claimed he shot Martin in self-defense.
Martin's mother said she believes the verdict sends a "terrible message to other little black and brown boys."
"They can't walk fast. They can't walk slow. So what do they do? How do they get home without people assuming you are doing something wrong?" Fulton said.
Fulton told "CBS This Morning" her son was not a burglar.
"He simply went to the store and was headed back home," she said. "And for somebody to look at him and perceive that he was a burglar, that was the problem that initiated everything."
The parents' attorney, Benjamin Crump, didn't rule out a civil lawsuit against Zimmerman in response to a question from CBS's Charlie Rose.
"We'll look at all legal options. Right now, we'll ask the Department of Justice to answer ... 'Can a private citizen with a gun profile and follow our children home?'" Crump said.
In the CNN interview, Martin's parents expressed concern about comments by a juror to the news network earlier in the week.
Juror B37 said she believed race was not a factor in Zimmerman's decision to follow Martin last year, that Martin struck Zimmerman first, and that the neighborhood watch volunteer had a right to defend himself. She also said she believed Martin "played a huge role in his death."
Fulton said it was a "joke" to suggest race didn't affect Zimmerman's following of Martin. Tracy Martin called some of her remarks insensitive, and said, "She had her mind made up."
Martin's parents said they're trying to channel their energy into a foundation created in their son's name.
"The change that we hope to affect is with the law," Fulton told CNN. "We want to make sure any teenager who is walking down the street won't be killed, that they will make it home safe."

Next Meetup
What we're about
Curious Kat's Adventure Club is a community of interesting and curious people who would like to explore London, England, and well, let's think big - the world in general. :) If you would like to live your life to the fullest, have fun, make new friends and meet like-minded people this is the place for you.
I would love to build up a community through which we can not only share our ideas and put them in practice but through which we can also develop our full potential, network and achieve our goals and dreams. :)
How will we do it? Step by step. We will get to know each other on various adventures. Whether it's the great outdoors (hiking, walking, cycling, sightseeing, visiting places, camping, day trips, trips abroad, holidays) or unusual indoors where we can do a bit of social networking (ice bar, jazz venues, hidden gems that only few know about), dining (whether it's fine dining or just off beaten track restaurant adventure) or something from the cultural menu which is so rich in London (theatres, galleries, cinemas) - all the ideas are welcome. I'm up for adventure and will try everything once. And I would most welcome your suggestions – if you come across something in line with the spirit of this group, please email me!
The best thing about the community is that there is space for everyone as each one of you has unique ideas and all the ideas are welcome. I truly believe that everyone has something valuable they can bring to the table and everyone has some hidden talents that might need to be unlocked.
What sort of events can you expect to find here? We have some hiking trips coming up – we love travelling, hiking and exploring countryside, whether it is around London or further afield. There are some weekend breaks on the horizon, travel UK and abroad, once again they will be filled with adventure – hiking, walking, kayaking… I will look into organizing some city breaks as well – Europe is just one hour away! And finally the World – we will go on longer holidays as well. I will look into community projects in Africa or India or other active ways of exploring other continents.
How else will we help each other? We have a message board through which we can share ideas, unusual finds, jobs, freebies, skills and anything that others can find useful. I would love to create a support network through which we can not only make new friends but also exchange skills and services. If you don't wish to receive emails about this however, you can update your settings and opt out from the message board emails. I know that once you are getting too many of them they just end up annoying you! ;p
If you like the idea, please join and please tell your friends: katsadventures.com (http://katsadventures.com/)
Please note, due to UK legislation all the events are for adults only as we don't have the necessary checks and qualifications and all the other paperwork (and there is a multitude of them) needed to work with children.

I spoke with Beyonce, Roger Waters, Shakira, and Dave Keuning when they came to my country for their tours. I have some autograph from the soccer players i admire like Messi. Ronaldhino and Kaká.I saw Bradley Cooper while i was in Machu Picchu and i met some local celebrities.
Prefiero dos guerras perdidas a no haber luchado por intentar ganarlas.
Does the Queen of England count??
I lived in Austin, TX for a while and got to meet a good handful of bands, various band members, people in the music industry, some models, etc. since it's a pretty happenin' city. I ran into Matthew McConaughey several times, but he's more of an annoyance than a celebrity there.
I once thought I saw James Marsters, but was too busy hyperventilating to be sure.
Does The Undertaker count?
He goes to the bar in town with Michelle from WWE.
oh but did you ever know, that i had mine on you?
I met 30 Seconds to Mars and they signed a CD for me
I don't know if he's a celebrity, but he's a famous author. I met R.A. Salvatore at a book signing and got a picture of me, him, and my friend.
not really, but i did meet nabeshin(anime director) and got his autograph
When me and my sister were younger, we were huge fans of the Nancy Drew movie or whatever, so we kind of met Emma Roberts @ some mall fan meet thing. But I've never had a deep & serious conversation with a celeb, sadly.
I know people who've met/been friends with them. My aunt (though she's not my biological aunt, my grandpa remarried, it's a long story), has lived in NY for most of her life, and she and her friends have worked in the film industry, so they've definitely seen and or interacted with celebrities. They told me that some are jerks and others are very courteous/normal people. They even know people who've done dirty deeds with high profile celebs (one of the mentioned was Ryan Gosling).
I don't live in a city, let alone a high profile city, I've seen a few people who look like celebs but probably were not (I can't remember who they looked though), but yeah, other than that, my sightings of Hollywood actors.... pretty much nonexistent.
Man, so many of you are so lucky, getting to see/even meet all these famous people.
and I walk around like I got a 36" chain.
