5. Collaboration
The more the merrier is definitely true when it comes to preventing teen pregnancy. Girls Inc., Memphis has recognized that and has collaborated with a number of other organizations active in the Memphis area. The result is Memphis Teen Vision, or MemTV, a collaboration of 25 different community, school and local government organizations focused on bringing down pregnancy rates among teenage girls.
Through MemTV, Girls Inc. is able to keep Memphis City Schools informed of the impact their program has on reducing teen pregnancy as well as collaborate with other organizations working towards the same purpose. This allows them to secure support for their programs within the school district — including within the school day, which is extremely hard to do given already jam-packed curricula — as well as gain access to students' academic data in an effort to better support the girls they serve. Additionally, Memphis City Schools also chose Girls Inc. to participate in the school district's launch of Education Beyond the Classroom, opening up school sponsored programs to the greater community.
So obviously a comprehensive, impressive effort, but is it working? I was unable to find data showing teen pregnancy rates and/or their effect on dropout rates specifically for Memphis City Schools (please post in comments if you know of their existence), but did dig up a few other promising tidbits. According to statistics from the State of Tennessee Department of Health, births among African American girls ages 10-19 in Shelby county (which includes Memphis) fell from 58.1% to 50% between 2009 and 2010.
Maybe a small decline, but a decline all the same. Additionally, in an evaluation carried out by the Center for Research on Women at the University of Memphis, girls who participated in Girls Inc. during the course of an academic year made improvements in multiple areas. Girls Inc. students scored higher on standardized state tests, reported greater emotional resilience, improved body image and overall had a lower rate of sexual activity when compared with MCS students in general.
To me, this is extremely encouraging. So many factors are at work when it comes to teen pregnancy. Sex education, contraception and abstinence promotion obviously play a role, but it's refreshing and commendable that Girls Inc. has developed programming that treats the whole girl, not just her uterus. If more organizations focus on nurturing young women emotionally, connecting them with role models, giving them tools to be confident, independent thinkers, and setting them up for academic and financial success, I'm certain that more young women will be in a position to take control of their own lives and teen pregnancy rates will continue to fall.
Do you know of any organizations fighting the good fight (and winning) against teen pregnancy? Leave your comments below.

Lovely article. Thanks for sharing.
To Jane B.: I wrote my first post before seeing yours.
Yes, there are men who see women as a warm place to "drop a load" (to use your terminology). I, myself, as a man agree that this behavior was reprehensible. I believe that males who joke "I don't have any children (that I know about)" have no right to call themselves "men." I didn't put myself in a situation where I could cause a pregnancy (even using birth control) until I was with a woman with whom I was willing to spend my life. As mentioned in my first post, there is still a child living with "Mom." What I didn't mention is that I am still her father, and play that role in her life. I may be in a minority, but I'm not alone.
Look at my comments about the "Parent's program" at BSD. Although the majority of the class was mothers, there were several fathers who graduated from the program. IOW: "Comprehensive Sex Education" does not preclude responsible behavior (for either gender).
When my wife was pregnant with our third child, her OB/Gyn suggested that she shouldn't have any more children - pregnancy was harmfully stressful for her. Due to this recommendation relating to HER health, I had outpatient surgery to prevent further pregnancies. I'm not looking for kudos, I'm just trying to make my point. You seem to believe that men don't care about he possible consequences of intercourse (and we view women as objects to relieve our "sexual tension"). I will not deny that there are boys (regardless of
I don't know about other school districts in Oregon, but I know that the Beaverton School District has a program in place to assist high-school parents. There is a facility that provides daycare while students are taking core-curriculum classes. I believe that the daycare is actually a classroom in itself, with instruction on proper baby care.
The facility houses 3 separate programs (my son was in the School of Science and Technology) so I had little knowledge of the "Parents Program" (I'm not even sure of the name) until the graduation ceremony. I was reduced to tears seeing all the high school graduates in their black cap and gowns, accompanied by several toddlers with white caps and gowns. I was especially pleased to see that the graduates of the "Parents Program" included several fathers (it was 1/3rd male).
I have two children who have graduated from BSD high schools (and a third who is currently in 8th grade). Oregon schools teach comprehensive sex education ("private parts" in Kindergarten, "where babies come from" in 5th or 6th grade. and "how to not have babies and protect yourself from STD's in High School). Comprehensive education helps, but mistakes happen (none of my children were "planned" but I cannot imagine life without them). BSD acknowledges this, and is willing to help the mothers (and fathers) who want to do the right thing in raising their children.
@ Jane B & Jordan B: You two seem like you were made for each other. Talk about about extremes...?
good for them
In response to Jane B. Okay now you really are a fun piece of work lets get down to education for a second. Catholics are christians and if you are wanting to address the whole mass of the faith then it is the judeo-christian faith(or just christian)
Now that we have that out of the way I can digress to my second point. As much as you have the right to go on your tirade about your seemingly Gender empowering views It is also the right of others to indulge in their own faith regardless of your own bigoted opinion.
Thirdly not all guys are trashy despite what the lady with the short cropped hair at the feminist lounge says, or in how deep a timbre she says it.
I "personally" have a wife we have no children and I do a Job that growing up I swore I would never do for numerous reasons. At this job I have watched a coworker and friend Die before my very eyes. The reason I do this job is to give my wife and I a good start at a new life together. Oh and I've been pressing her for us to adopt her niece who's in a bad situation because it keeps me up at night thinking about how the kids life is.
So in conclusion yeah you are totally right about everything seems like you are on top of it all...
Oh and to everyone else I'm for a more complete sex-ed program Teen pregnancy can and is a life changer often in a bad way.
Abstinence only education is ridiculous. Even if you're married, you are still at risk of STDs and unwanted pregnancy. Marriage does not make those problems magically go away. Every person deserves the right to know how to have safe sex.
Not all Christians teach hate. I believe in education and then contraception if all else fails. The problem is a lot of these young girls want a baby and intentionally don't use contraceptives. My niece included. She had her first at 17 and had no idea what she was getting into. Now she has three and has basically abandoned them to their grandmother because she says " she" is more important. It's sad really.
But you can't blame Christianity and God for this.And this site is all about rights and equality. Yet I see a lot of HATE directed towards Christians. Don't we have a right to believe in what we do to? I have gay friends and I I love them and I think they should be allowed to be married. I believe animals should be treated better. And I don't think you should hate anyone because of their race, sexual preference, or religion.
Many organizations that work with youth realize that teen pregnancy is not the cause of poverty but a symptom. It is important for girls to know that they can have a professional future so they do not believe that a baby is the only way to feel grown up or important.
However, a lot of the motivation behind teen pregnancy has to do with love. When girls are asked why they had a baby they say so that it is that they will have someone who loves them unconditionally. (Mothers do that too but mothers can be critical). Many of these girls do not have fathers in their lives and do not see an enduring marriage or any long term heterosexual relationship as a realistic possibility (see Jane B's comment above).
Wow Girls Inc. sounds AWESOME!

What is it?
It's brilliant, that's what. Oh, are we getting a bit ahead of ourselves? Well, this is the convertible version of McLaren's MP4 12C coupe, complete with a folding hard top that tucks itself away in 17 seconds at up to 19mph. So far, so standard.
What makes the McLaren stand out from other convertibles (including Ferrari's drop-top 458) is that, thanks to the toughness of its carbon tub, it needed no additional strengthening. Which means it's every bit as stiff and rigid as the hard top and only weighs 40kg more.
What this means is that the Spider drives identically to the coupe. Identically. There is not a trace of chassis shimmer, no extra steering kickback and not even a hint of extra vibration in the rear view mirror. It's uncanny. And it handles with exactly the same confidence-inspiring accuracy as the coupe, and since it has the latest 2013 upgrades, including an extra 24bhp, you really, really don't notice the extra 40kg.
What you do notice is a lot more noise. Arguably the Spider's best feature isn't the roof itself, but the electric rear window, which fulfils the role of wind deflector when the roof is down, but acts as a volume control for the V8 twin turbo with the roof up. Keep it raised and the V8 is nicely muted and cruising a breeze. Lower it and you're exposed to epic levels of aural brutality.
What's more, the loss of the roof seems to have made the McLaren less uptight and clinical. It's somehow more exuberant now, more characterful and fun. It's one of the true greats.
On the inside
As far as the cabin design goes, nothing has really changed. But then nothing needed to. The Spider feels like it's been built and designed to F1 standards – it's great to spend time in and the ergonomics are superb. The satnav works and it's great, while seats, steering wheel and pedals are all perfectly placed. That wheel is a pleasure to grip, too.
Special mention for practicality here: because the roof design meant losing the rear parcel shelf, McLaren came up with something called buttress bags. These are rollup sacks that store in the buttresses, but, when packed, store in the roof void (you have to keep the roof up, naturally), adding 52 litres of capacity. Make no mistake, McLaren has thought of everything – this is a great car to live with.
And to own. Yes, the extra £19,500 over the coupe is a not-insignificant amount, but it's well, well worth it. McLaren expects 80 per cent of buyers to opt for the convertible. And the brand has just added even more appeal: it's now being replaced by the 650S Spider. As this 12C is already a 10 out of 10 car, they must be having kittens in Maranello right now...

BOISE -- Two beautiful baby girls will share the title of Boise's 2013 Christmas Baby.
The first is young Francesca Kershisnik, born 12:53 a.m. at St. Luke's Boise Medical Center. She was just over 9 pounds, and is the daughter of Frances and Patrick Kershisnik of Boise.
The first Christmas Day baby born at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center was little Cecilia Tarantino. This holiday bundle of joy came into the world just after 12 p.m.
Proud parents John and Sarah Tarantino of Nampa say she's healthy and so is mom.
Cecilia weighed in at 7 lbs., 3oz. and measured 21 inches at birth.
Saint Alphonsus gifted the Tarantino family a basket filled with baby clothes, diapers, blankets, an Alphonzo bear, and other items to commemorate the occasion.

The resort overlooks Chalong Bay with its pier and various sizes of boats. Some nearest convenient stores and restaurants can be found within a radius of 10 minutes car ride from the resort. All necessary facilities which are available onsite include a free-form shaped, sea view swimming pool, a tranquil beach with sunbeds, a Thai cuisine restaurant, bar, pool bar and a pub. Guestrooms are beautifully decorated and come with 3 major categories which consist of garden view, sea view and beachfront. This is a suitable option for those wishing to be away from hustle and bustle of the city and seeking a real relaxation in an absolutely calm location.
Whether dining at the oceanfront, lounging in the outdoor Jacuzzi, sunbathing on the beach, or island hopping to Phi Phi Island and Phang Nga Bay, the experience will leave a long-lasting impression on your first or repeated visits.
Liked the pool area as it had plenty of loungers. eating outlets limited but the food served in them was fine. As mentioned in other posts on a hill so there are steps and slopes, but the advantage is lovely bay views. We liked it here as we just wanted to rest in the sunshine and did not want to go out at night. Rooms are in a Thai design, a good size and cool. furnishings are ok but could do with a slight refurbishment and makeover.- Reply - Report This

We got a great rate on Booking.com and had a fantastic stay here. The staff were wonderful and really made us feel very welcome. If you don't know Phuket very well Cape Panwa is quite far from the main action, nightlife, restaurants etc. but is very peaceful and laidback compared to the rest of Phuket. The hotel is right on the beach which is nothing special but nice enough. You can get a taxi to Phuket Town which is about 20 minutes but if you want to go shopping it can take quite a bit longer to get to the other side of town where the shopping malls are.- Reply - Report This
We stayed only 3 nights there and our stay was very pleasant. People there are friendly and efficient. We had a tiny issue with language sometimes but they could finally solve any problem or fulfill our needs. Near to the beach but far from any main roads. The pros is a real tranquility but cons is no shops or even a small convenience store nearby. We need to drive for it.- Reply - Report This
Wow it was very good memorable for our family for last trip we were very happy with the customer service provided. The staff were friendly, attentive and very helpful.The pool is lovely and the view is fantastic. Rooms are clean.- Reply - Report This
Quite remote, close to nowhere, very long way driving to tourist places on the west coast, no real beaches around and no shops nearby….BUT of course very quiet and good price when looking at their good services and full range of facilities.- Reply - Report This
Our one week holiday went very quickly at this resort. The unbeatable bonus of this place is their private beach (not easy to find this in other many resorts in Phuket) and natural atmosphere. Rooms were a bit old but still in a reasonable condition. The premises may not be so good for old people cos the resort is set along a hill slope and there are some steps up and down to the beach. If you don't mind walking up and down this gentle hill, then this is a wonderful place!- Reply - Report This

R-Day felicitations

Despite space constraints, this charming little joint's patronage only seems to be increasing
If you love Chinese food and are craving delicious steamed chicken momos, then Yuan restaurant, near the Hennur Bus Depot, is just the place for you.
Leisurely meals
In 2004, two friends, Gautam Swaroop and Manish Mandana who fancied Chinese food, wanted to open a joint of their own.
"When we started the place, this area was relatively quiet and peaceful. We even had outdoor seating arrangements. People would come here to enjoy leisurely evening meals," recalls Gautam.
Just three years later, he says, the place witnessed rapid development and they had to discontinue the arrangement. "Dust and traffic increased to a great extent," he says.
Despite this setback, the popularity of the restaurant was not dampened. "We have been quite lucky that way. Most of our staff is still with us, and many initial customers tell me that our momos cannot be substituted by any other," he adds.
Fine balance
The staple dumplings (priced at Rs. 70 a plate) should definitely be the first on your list of things to try. The chilli sauce balances the succulent and mildly flavoured momos. The triple Schezwan rice (Rs. 125) is the chef's special. The crispy noodles with rice and tiny chicken pieces was the highlight of the meal.
Vegetarian fare
Among the vegetarian main course dishes, the special dragon noodles (Rs. 90 a plate) is a must-have.
For lovers of seafood, the Phuket fish (Rs. 150) will surely prove addictive. Slightly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, this delicacy deserves full points for presentation and great taste. While they do serve lamb, pork and beef are not available.
The popularity of the restaurant stands testimony to quality of the food served here.
Space constraint has done nothing to dampen the restaurant's patronage. What it lacks in space, it makes up by doing home delivery to the surrounding areas.
Yuan is located at Shop No. 2 and 3, Renu Arcade, 80 ft road, 1st Stage, 2nd Block, HBR Layout. Call 40974045 or 9901047070.

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. — The Lady Panthers could not overcome a slow start in Saturday's 52-38 loss to Chuckey-Doak in the first round of the District 2-AA Tournament.
Cumberland Gap managed just four points in the first quarter — baskets by Genna Lake and Tessa Pittman — and trailed 14-4 after one period.
From there, the Lady Panthers held their own with the Lady Knights and got as close as eight points a couple of times late in the third quarter. But Chuckey-Doak answered every threat and hit seven of eight free throws down the stretch to go on to the 14-point win.
"I told them when I took the job in the fall that we were going to coach to win and play to win buzzer to buzzer no matter what the score is. You could see out there that they gave it everything they had and I'm proud of them," CGHS coach Dennis Cline said.
Andi Lamb led the Lady Knights with 18 points, Alyssa Broyles added 11 and Katie Lawson nine.
Senior guard Chelsea Bingham paced a balanced Cumberland Gap offense with nine points. Genna Lake and Brooklyn Creech finished with six each, Samantha Pierce added five, Chelsea Fultz and Tessa Pittman four apiece and Tessa Brooks and Alaina Hoskins each scored two.
Broyles scored six of her points in the first quarter with Lamb and Lawson putting in four each to build that 14-4 Chuckey-Doak lead.
The Lady Panthers were able to get to the line in the second quarter with Fultz, Pittman and Hoskins all hitting two free throws and Bingham adding one. Brook knocked down a transition jumper late in the half to bring Cumberland Gap within 24-13 and it was 26-13 at the break.
A Fultz basket followed by a Bingham 3-pointer helped the Lady Panthers keep pace in the third quarter and Creech knocked down a pair of jumpers to make it a 30-22 game by the 2:45 mark. Baskets from Lamb and Kara Aubrey pushed the lead back to twelve.
Cumberland Gap wasn't finished though. Creech scored inside off a feed from Brooks, then came up with a steal that led to a Pierce layup and the Lady Panthers trailed just 34-26 with 1:16 to go in the third.
"Brooklyn is tall and long, she's got what you look for. She's just a sophomore and I think she's going to be pretty good," Cline said. "The reason I went to her is we wanted to get kids out there that can move. And she delivered, she went out there and played well."
After struggling against the Cumberland Gap press for most of the third quarter, the Lady Knights got behind it for two layups late and took a 38-26 lead into the fourth quarter.
A 3 from Bingham and a three-point play from Pierce had the Lady Panthers within 42-32, but Broyles was fouled while scoring on a putback and hit the free throw to extend the lead back to 13. Two baskets by Lake and one from Bingham made it a ten-point game once again, but the Lady Knights hit their free throws late to go on to the 14-point win.
"Our press was better in the second half, we pressured them and they tried to give it to us but we just couldn't take advantage," Cline said. "At the end of the third quarter we were overaggressive in trapping a little bit and they threw it over the top for two layups. Those were pretty cheap points that put it back to 12 and that kind of deflated us a little bit."
Chuckey-Doak (8-17) advances to play Greeneville in Monday's 4 p.m. semifinal.
Cumberland Gap ends the season with a 4-21 record.
Cline said the team has shown improvement during his first year as their head coach, but added there is still a ways to go to get the program where he wants it.
"I wanted to be better in February that we were in November and I think we've done that," he said. "I think we've changed the culture a little bit, but you can't do it in one year. You can't just say we're going to win now and flip a switch. It's got to be a continuous day-to-day process. The next step is for us to start winning some games."

Social control of sexual behaviour
Societies differ remarkably in what they consider socially desirable and undesirable in terms of sexual behaviour and consequently differ in what they attempt to prevent or promote. There appear, however, to be four basic sexual controls in the majority of human societies. First, to control endless competition, some form of marriage is necessary. This not only removes both partners from the competitive arena of courtship and assures each of a sexual partner, but it allows them to devote more time and energy to other necessary and useful tasks of life. Despite the beliefs of earlier writers, marriage is not necessary for the care of the young; this can be accomplished in other ways.
Second, control of forced sexual relationships is necessary to prevent anger, feuding, and other disruptive retribution.
Third, all societies exert control over whom one is eligible to marry or have as a sexual partner. Endogamy, holding the choice within one's group, increases group solidarity but tends to isolate the group and limit its political strength. Exogamy, forcing the individual to marry outside the group, dilutes group loyalty but increases group size and power through new external liaisons. Some combination of endogamy and exogamy is found in most societies. All have incest prohibitions. These are not based on genetic knowledge. Indeed, many incest taboos involve persons not genetically related (father–stepdaughter, for example). The prime reason for incest prohibition seems to be the necessity for preventing society from becoming snarled in its own web: every person has a complex set of duties, rights, obligations, and statuses with regard to other people, and these would become intolerably complicated or even contradictory if incest were freely permitted.
Fourth, there is control through the establishment of some safety-valve system: the formulation of exceptions to the prevailing sexual restrictions. There is the recognition that humans cannot perpetually conform to the social code and that well-defined exceptions must be made. There are three sorts of exceptions to sexual restrictions: (1) Divorce: while all societies encourage marriage, all realize that it is in the interest of society and the individual to terminate marriage under certain conditions. (2) Exceptions based on kinship: many societies permit or encourage sexual activity with certain kin, even after marriage. Most often these kin are a brother's wife or a wife's sister. In addition, sexual "joking relationships" are often expected between brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and cousins. While coitus is not involved, there is much explicit sexual banter, teasing, and humorous insult. (3) Exceptions based on special occasions, ranging from sexual activity as a part of religious rites to purely secular ceremonies and celebrations wherein the customary sexual restrictions are temporarily lifted.
Turning to particular forms of sexual behaviour, one learns from anthropology and history that extreme diversity in social attitude is common. Most societies are unconcerned over self-masturbation since it does not entail procreation or the establishment of social bonds, but a few regard it with disapprobation. Sexual dreams cause concern only if they are thought to be the result of the nocturnal visitation of some spirit. Such dreams were once attributed to spirits or demons known as incubi and succubi, who sought out sleeping humans for sexual intercourse.
Petting among most preliterate societies is done only as a prelude to coitus—as foreplay—rather than as an end in itself. In some parts of sub-Saharan Africa, however, petting is used as a premarital substitute for coitus in order to preserve virginity and avoid pregnancy. There is great variation in petting and foreplay techniques. Kissing is by no means universal, as some groups view the mouth as a biting and chewing orifice ill-suited for expressing affection. While some societies emphasize the erotic role of the female breast, others—such as the Chinese—pay little attention to it. Still others regard oral stimulation of the breast unseemly, being too akin to infantile suckling. Although manual stimulation of the genitalia is nearly universal, a few peoples abstain because of revulsion toward genital secretions. Not much information exists on mouth–genital contact, and one can say only that it is common among some peoples and rare among others.
A considerable number of societies manifest scratching and biting in conjunction with sexual activity, and most of this is done by the female. Sadomasochism in any other form, however, is conspicuous by its absence in preliterate societies.
An enumeration of the societies that permit or forbid premarital coitus is complicated not only by the double standard but also by the fact that such prohibition or permission is often qualified. As a rough estimate, however, 40 to 50 percent of preliterate or ancient societies allowed premarital coitus under certain conditions to both males and females. If one were to count as permissive those groups that theoretically disapprove but actually condone such coitus, the percentage would rise to perhaps 70.
In marital coitus, when sexual access is not only permitted but encouraged, one would expect considerable uniformity in frequency of coitus. This expectation is not fulfilled: social conditioning profoundly affects even marital coitus. On one Irish island reported upon by a researcher, for example, marital coitus is best measured in terms of per year, and among the Cayapas of Ecuador, a frequency of twice a week is something to boast of. The coital frequencies of other groups, on the other hand, are nearer to human potential. In one Polynesian group, the usual frequency of marital coitus among individuals in their late 20s was 10 to 12 per week, and in their late 40s the frequency had fallen to three to four. The African Bala, according to one researcher, had coitus on the average of once or twice per day from young adulthood into the sixth decade of life.
Marital coitus is not unrestricted. Coitus during menstruation or after a certain stage of pregnancy is generally taboo. After childbirth a lengthy period of time must often elapse before coitus can resume, and some peoples abstain for magical reasons before or during warfare, hunting expeditions, and certain other important events or ceremonies. In modern Western society one finds menstrual, pregnancy, and postpartum taboos perpetuated under an aesthetic or medical guise, and coaches still attempt to force celibacy upon athletes prior to competition.
Extramarital coitus provides a striking example of the double standard: it is expected, or tolerated, in males and generally prohibited for females. Very few societies allow wives sexual freedom. Extramarital coitus with the husband's consent, however, is another matter. Somewhere between two-fifths and three-fifths of preliterate societies permit wife lending or allow the wife to have coitus with certain relatives (generally brothers-in-law) or permit her freedom on special ceremonial occasions. The main concern of preliterate societies is not one of morality, but of more practical considerations: does the act weaken kinship ties and loyalty? Will it damage the husband's social prestige? Will it cause pregnancy and complicate inheritance or cause the wife to neglect her duties and obligations? Most foreign of all to Western thinking is that of those peoples whose marriage ceremony involves the bride having coitus with someone other than the groom, yet it is to be recalled that this practice existed to a limited extent in medieval Europe as jus primae noctis, the right of the lord to the bride of one of his subjects.
Sexual deviations and sex offenses are, of course, social definitions rather than natural phenomena. What is normative behaviour in one society may be a deviation or crime in another. One can go through the literature and discover that virtually any sexual act, even child–adult relations or necrophilia, has somewhere at some time been acceptable behaviour. Homosexuality is permitted in perhaps two-thirds of human societies. In some groups it is normative behaviour, whereas in others it is not only absent but beyond imagination. Generally, it is not an activity involving most of the population but exists as an alternative way of life for certain individuals. These special individuals are sometimes transvestites—that is, they dress and behave like the opposite sex. Sometimes they are regarded as curiosities or ridiculed, but more often they are accorded respect and magical powers are attributed to them. It is noteworthy, however, that aside from these transvestites, exclusive homosexuality is quite rare in preliterate societies.
In conclusion, the cardinal lesson of anthropology is that no type of sexual behaviour or attitude has a universal, inherent social or psychological value for good or evil—the whole meaning and value of any expression of sexuality is determined by the social context within which it occurs.

Report: Man hit another man with a hammer
An Immokalee man was jailed after deputies say he hit another man with a hammer.
Adrien John Apollon, 24, of the 2900 block of Dimar Lane, was arrested by Collier County sheriff's deputies Wednesday. He faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
According to reports, Apollon was fighting with his mother when the victim came to check on the disturbance. When he saw the victim, Apollon went inside his house and came back out with a hammer, reports stated.
He hit the victim with it in the back with the clawed side of the hammer, according to deputies.
A second man came to the victim's aid and threw the hammer across the street. The two men punched Apollon, who fell into a washing machine but got back up.
The fight continued and Apollon fell a second time, hitting his head on a lawn mower and going unconscious.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to imipramine: compounding powder, intramuscular solution, oral capsule, oral tablet
One study has suggested that as many as 85% of treated patients may experience dry mouth.
Several cases of acute angle closure glaucoma have been attributed to the anticholinergic effects of imipramine.[Ref]
Anticholinergic side effects have been reported in as many as 50% of patients taking imipramine and include dry mouth, blurry vision, constipation and urinary retention.[Ref]
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects are common. General stimulation (manifested by insomnia and subjective and objective evidence of increased activity) have been reported frequently. Drowsiness, lightheadedness, dizziness, sleep abnormalities, myoclonus, tinnitus, jitteriness, tremor, delirium, cognitive impairment (especially in the elderly), and seizures have also been reported.[Ref]
One study has suggested that as many as 34% of treated patients may develop myoclonus.
Some investigators have estimated an incidence of 4 to 5 imipramine- induced seizures per 1000 treated patients.
A case of the neuroleptic malignant syndrome has been reported in one patient taking neuroleptics whose imipramine was abruptly discontinued.
Nearly all selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, mixed serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants cause sleep abnormalities to some extent. These antidepressants have marked dose-dependent effects on rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, causing reductions in the overall amount of REM sleep over the night and delays the first entry into REM sleep (increased REM sleep onset latency (ROL)), both in healthy subjects and depressed patients. The antidepressants that increase serotonin function appear to have the greatest effect on REM sleep. The reduction in REM sleep is greatest early in treatment, but gradually returns towards baseline during long-term therapy; however, ROL remains long. Following discontinuation of therapy the amount of REM sleep tends to rebound. Some of these drugs (i.e., bupropion, mirtazapine, nefazodone, trazodone, trimipramine) appear to have a modest or minimal effect on REM sleep.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects associated with imipramine can be clinically significant. Orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, PR interval prolongation, QRS widening, other conduction abnormalities and malignant arrhythmias have been reported. Vasospasm involving the extremities has been reported rarely. One study has found the relative risk of myocardial infarction to be 2.2 times greater in patients receiving tricyclic antidepressants including imipramine.[Ref]
Both antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic effects have been reported in association with tricyclic therapy. Caution should be exercised if imipramine must be used in patients with cardiovascular disease.[Ref]
Psychiatric side effects have included mania, hypomania, suicidal ideation, paradoxical aggressiveness, mental status changes, and worsening of other psychiatric illnesses.[Ref]
A study of 26,005 antidepressant users has reported 2.3 times more upper GI bleeding episodes with the use of non-SSRI's. Upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding was observed in 3.5 times more frequently in patients receiving imipramine.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects most frequently include dry mouth and constipation. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported. Fatal adynamic ileus has also been reported (usually during concomitant treatment with other psychotropic agents).[Ref]
Although imipramine is not addicting, withdrawal symptoms, including nervousness, anxiety, restlessness, akathisia, nausea, malaise, sweating and salivation have been reported after abrupt discontinuation.[Ref]
Genitourinary problems have included urinary retention and male and female sexual dysfunction.[Ref]
One study of patients treated with various antidepressants has reported that 16 of 29 patients treated with imipramine admitted to sexual dysfunction. Decreased libido, more time reaching orgasm and difficulty reaching orgasm were cited as the most common dysfunctions.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects have included rare instances of reversible agranulocytosis and eosinophilia.[Ref]
Endocrinologic side effects are rare and have included hypoglycemia and hyponatremia (in association with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone).[Ref]
Hepatic side effects are rare and have included elevated liver function tests, drug-induced hepatitis, and acute hepatic failure.[Ref]
All cases of alopecia have been reported in women. All patients reported resolution or improvement from the hair loss within several months of discontinuation of the drug.[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects include sweating most frequently. Urticaria, angioedema, pruritus, and hyperpigmentation have been reported more rarely. Several cases of alopecia have also been reported.[Ref]

FRED KENNEDY Fred John Kennedy, 92, of Las Vegas, died peacefully in his sleep Thursday morning, Nov. 1, 2012. Fred was born in Salt Lake City, March 4, 1920, to Ann and John Kennedy. Almost an 80-year resident of Las Vegas, he was married to the love of his life, Betty Hall, April 16, 1942. Fred worked for his father at L&K Markets, a grocery store on Second St. and Bridger Ave. Fred enlisted and spent four years in the
U.S. Navy
. He then spent the next several years opening businesses of his own. Fred and his late brother "Bud" Kennedy founded Turf Equipment Supply Company. He was an avid golfer and traveler. Fred was a former member of Spanish Trails and the Las Vegas Country Club and spent many of his earlier years piloting his own plane. Fred entertained an amazing perspective on life, always having a joke ready for anyone willing to listen. His colorful personality was unforgettable to those who knew him. Fred left a lasting impression on those who not only knew him well, but those who were fortunate enough to just make his acquaintance. His philosophy late in life was, "Well, I made it another day. What's there to complain about?"

Cebu Pacific plane, pilot grounded after 'skidding' incident
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—A Cebu Pacific plane that skidded and hit five runway lights after landing at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Thursday has been grounded as the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines investigates the incident.
Cebu Pacific announced on Friday that all its flights would continue as scheduled.
An incident report from the Manila International Airport Authority on Thursday showed that Cebu Pacific Flight 5J 448 from Iloilo landed at 4:16 p.m. but as the plane taxied down Runway 06/24, it skidded to the right and hit five edge lights.
The aircraft, however, was able to continue toward the Terminal 3 ramp to offload its passengers, and it was able to park at Bay 116 by 4:27 p.m.
None of the plane's 85 passengers were reported hurt in the incident.
"Details on the extent of damage to the aircraft (sic) was not made known to airfield officers. The aircraft will remain at Bay 116 for investigation of 5J safety. [It] will be towed to Bay 107," said the incident report, signed by airfield officers Richard Borras, Ceasar Dungca and Herman Amaro.
As of Friday, according to Cebu Pacific's official Twitter account @CebuPacificAir: "The aircraft is currently undergoing a thorough check, and awaiting release back into service."
The tweet added that all Cebu Pacific flights "continue to operate as scheduled."
An advisory from the MIAA media affairs division said CAAP will "investigate the incident and accountability," while MIAA will assess the "extent of damage for possible claims with Cebu Pacific."
A radio report quoted CAAP deputy director Capt. John Andrews as saying that the plane's pilot, identified in the report only as "J. Palomillo," was also grounded pending investigation.

LOS ANGELES (October 12, 2007) In a fall filled with spectacular fights, one of the best may take place on Saturday, November 17th, when two of the premier boxers in the 130-pound weight class, WBO Junior Lightweight Champion Joan Guzman and former Interim Featherweight Champion Humberto Soto, look to move closer to a 2008 mega fight, by scoring a victory in their bout..
The 12-round championship bout, which promises to be one of the most competitive and exciting matchups of 2007 is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions in association with Sycuan Ringside Promotions and Top Rank Inc., and will air live from Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City, NJ, as part of a doubleheader on HBOs Boxing After Dark starting at 9:45 PM ET/PT.
The co-featured bout on the telecast will feature rising star and 2004 Olympian Abner Mares making his HBO debut in a bantamweight fight against the Argentinean Damian David Marchiano.
Tickets for this event are priced at $225, $175, $145, $115, $95, $75 and $45 are on sale now and can be purchased by calling 866-900-4TIX (4849) or online at www.theborgata.com.
Joan Guzman vs. Humberto Soto promises to be one of the most explosive fights of the year, stated Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar de la Hoya. Golden Boy is pleased to bring this outstanding night of boxing to Borgata and to fans watching across the country on HBO.
Borgata is thrilled to partner once again with Golden Boy Promotions, along with Sycuan Ringside Promotions and Top Rank Inc. to bring this highly-anticipated fight to Atlantic City and provide a world-class boxing experience for all our guests fighters, promoters and customers, said Larry Mullin, President and Chief Operating Officer for Borgata.
Scott Woodworth, VP of Sycuan Ringside Promotions added, Sycuan Ringside is thrilled that Guzman has had the opportunity to fight the best fighters in his division. We are confident that a victory over Soto will elevate his status among the elite fighters of today.
"This tremendous matchup is somewhat unsung with all of the great fights this fall. But believe me, Humberto Soto against Joan Guzman is one of the top, most exciting championship fights of the year," said Bob Arum, CEO, Top Rank.
Joan Little Tyson Guzman (27-0, 17 KOs) is no stranger to outstanding success in the ring, as he is a former World Super Bantamweight and current Junior Lightweight Champion who has never tasted defeat in the pro ranks. A 1996 Olympian for the Dominican Republic, the Santo Domingo native turned pro in September of 1997 and was quickly dubbed Little Tyson for his prodigious punching power. By 2002, he was a World Champion, having knocked out Fabio Oliva in three rounds to win the WBO Super Bantamweight Title. After two successful defenses, Guzman moved up to the featherweight division and quickly earned the WBOs number one contender position. But after a series of postponements of a fight with champion Scott Harrison, Guzman decided to move up to 130 pounds, where he easily outpointed former world champ Javier Jauregui in his divisional debut and then pounded out a 12 round win over Jorge Rodrigo Barrios to win the WBO Junior Lightweight Crown. He now looks to a second successful defense of his title against Soto.
One of the most talented fighters in the game today, Humberto Zorrito Soto (42-5-2, 26 KOs) is also one of the most avoided. His high level of skill, coupled with a warriors heart, has made him one of the most feared junior lightweights in boxing. A native of the boxing hotbed of Los Mochis, Mexico now living in Tijuana, Soto turned pro in 1997 and after some rocky times in the first five years of his career, this two-fisted boxer-puncher hit his stride and has gone unbeaten in his last 20 fights, dating back to 2002. In 2005, Soto arrived on the world scene when he won the Interim WBC World Featherweight Title by handing 2000 Olympic Silver Medalist Rocky Juarez his first loss as a pro, and since then he has been seemingly getting better with each fight, most recently knocking out highly-regarded Bobby Pacquiao in the seventh round in June, in his biggest win since moving to the super featherweight division where he is currently rated number two in the world by the WBC, fourth by the WBA and third by the IBF and WBO.
Considered by most boxing insiders to be the sports next cant miss prospect, Abner Mares (14-0, 9 KOs), a member of the 2004 Mexican Olympic team, has burst onto the pro scene, dazzling fans with his speed and boxing skills. Despite being just 21 years old, the Montebello, CA resident has already beaten fighters far more experienced than himself, including his most recent conquest over former World Champion Isidro Chino Garcia (24-3-2, 8 KOs) to capture the NABO Bantamweight Championship on September 7th. Further confirming his status as a boxing prodigy, Mares is trained by legendary Mexican trainer Ignacio Nacho Beristain, who considers Mares one of the most talented fighters he has ever trained. Although he has only competed in 14 professional fights, he is already ranked in the top 15 in the world at bantamweight by three of the four major sanctioning organizations. He looks to further cement his status as boxings next star in his HBO debut against Damian David Marchiano (14-2-1, 5 KOs) on November 17th.
Also scheduled to compete on the November 17th card is highly regarded junior welterweight contender and Philadelphia native Demetrius The Gladiator Hopkins (27-0-1, 11 KOs). The nephew of middleweight legend Bernard Hopkins, Demetrius has worked tirelessly to create his own identity in the boxing world and has passed with flying colors, earning more respect and acclaim with each outing. The current USBA Junior Welterweight Champion, The Gladiator was once seen as strictly a technician in the ring, but with five of his last eight wins coming by knockout over quality competition, opponents now have to fear Hopkins power in addition to his boxing skills. In his last fight, Hopkins, who is currently ranked number two in the world by the IBF, and eighth by the WBC, WBA and WBO, scored an emphatic first round stoppage of Haider Berrio on July 21st.

The Obama Administration has advanced an agenda that discourages development of domestic carbon-based energy resources. Administration actions include the threat of new federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing, withdrawal of federal lands, both on and offshore, from energy production, increasingly burdensome requirements for oil shale research and development leases, and a de facto moratorium on drilling permits. This strategy has added to permitting delays, created additional layers of review, and prolonged study periods. In addition, other laws such as the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Air Act have been used to further suppress domestic oil and gas production, leading to higher gasoline prices and growing dependence on foreign oil. The Administration has also proposed a series of discriminatory tax increases targeting oil and gas producers in order to subsidize its favorite industry: so-called "clean energy" (primarily wind and solar).
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has learned through the course of an eight-month investigation that political staff under DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano have corrupted the agency's FOIA compliance procedures, exerted political pressure on FOIA compliance officers, and undermined the federal government's accountability to the American people.
The Administration's economic strategies employed over the last two years have not succeeded in getting Americans back to work in sufficient numbers… The President has reached out to several organizations representing business interests in the preceding weeks and months and has invited the heads of some of the largest national and multinational companies to share their suggestions for jumpstarting the economy. Businesses that responded to the President overwhelmingly reported that regulations are the barriers to pushing the economy forward and creating much-needed jobs to boost recovery.
Hand-in-hand with the powers expressly granted to Congress by the Constitution – among others, to legislate, to appropriate funds, to declare war, to raise armies, and to impeach – is the implicit responsibility to perform rigorous oversight of the Executive Branch.
Prior to his sudden retirement, Weiderhold contacted and met with Finance Committee staff on several occasions. During these conversations, Weiderhold described an environment where Amtrak management repeatedly interfered with the independent functioning of the Office of Inspector General (OIG).
WASHINGTON, DC – Oversight and Government Reform Committee Ranking Member Darrell Issa today requested the Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigate the legality of taxpayer funded propaganda efforts undertaken by the Obama Administration. GAO has investigated accusations of covert propaganda under previous Administrations and found them unlawful. "Although Federal laws prohibit the use…
Pursuant to this review, staff has found numerous instances in which the situation on the ground conflicts with official reports. Of enormous concern, the situation in the Gulf is actually more dysfunctional and dire than what has been portrayed through official reports and press accounts based on official information. This blurring of reality is exacerbating problems with the clean-up effort.
This Report describes the Commission's most significant recent failures, outlines the long-term, systemic causes of these failures, and recommends that Congress constructively reform the agency through legislation and enhanced oversight.
This report attempts to explain the discrepancies between the stimulus claims made by the Administration and the facts in an attempt to arrive at a conclusion about who's right on stimulus job creation: the Obama Administration or the 89% of the American public who do not believe the stimulus has created jobs?
ACORN officials, however, appear to be trying to dupe government officials and the American public through false and misleading claims about ending operations.

Maybe you could call it something like Predators - Jeager Giest.
That's bad ass and exactly what I'm talking about. I think we had a similar conversation before; aye there's so much stuff one could do with the franchise.
There might have been a Dark Horse comic with a similar story to what you just described. So many of those books would make great movies.

Federal pay freeze truly off table in payroll tax deal?
Monday - 12/5/2011, 7:46pm EST
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
Senate Democrats have a new plan to extend the payroll tax cut.
This comes after a Republican plan that would freeze federal pay and cut the federal workforce failed to advance in the Senate.
Humberto Sanchez, who covers the Senate for CQ Roll Call, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the latest proposals emanating from Congress on a payroll tax cut extension.
President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats have scaled back plans for an extension of the payroll tax cut in a bid to increase Republican support. However, GOP lawmakers are unlikely to favor it, as it still involves a tax increase on the wealthy.
Previous Republican proposals sought to pay for the tax cut with an extended pay freeze for federal employees and a 10 percent cut, through attrition, to the federal workforce. That provision was voted down in the Senate last week.
Sanchez said a Senate vote on the latest plan is likely this week, but Republicans remain skeptical of the Democrats' motives.
And, he said, even though the proposal to freeze federal pay didn't advance the last time, it could still wind up on the table as part of a final compromise.

NBA: Yao Ming denies eyeing deal to buy Clippers
Published on Jun 14, 2014 6:59 PM
TAIPEI (AFP) - Retired Chinese basketball star Yao Ming on Saturday denied a report that he was lining up investors to bid for the National Basketball Association's Los Angeles Clippers if embattled owner Donald Sterling has to sell.
"I can't confirm it because it is completely a rumour," he told reporters when asked about the report at an NBA event in Taipei. "Currently I don't have such a plan" to buy any NBA team, said the former Houston Rockets star.
ESPN.com reported last month that Yao was the latest celebrity to be linked to a potential Clippers bid, since Sterling was engulfed in a scandal over racially charged remarks that became public in April.
ESPN, citing unnamed sources, said that Yao and another former NBA player, Grant Hill, were working separately to find investors to launch bids.

In the May 2014 issue, Consumer Reports named two Presence Health hospitals as the top consumer safe hospitals in Chicago. Presence Resurrection Medical Center earned the highest city ranking of 56 and Presence Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center earned the second highest with 55. The national average is 51.
Consumer Reports studied more than 2,500 U.S. hospitals and looked at five categories in rating patient safety: mortality, re-admissions, overuse of CT scans, hospital-acquired infections and communication.
"Patient safety is paramount and these ratings reflect the exceptional teamwork between all hospital staff and physicians in caring for patients. We are pleased to be named the top safest hospitals in the city of Chicago," said John Baird, president and CEO, Presence Resurrection Medical Center and Presence Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center.
