text: on Nov 21, 2013 @ 3:31 AMNov 21, 2013 @ 3:31 AM Published"Toughest-ever" doping tests in Sochi: IOC headThe upcoming Winter Games in the Russian city of Sochi will see the "toughest-ever" anti-doping tests, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Thursday, despite scepticism over the host country's testing capability.Bach, elected head of the IOC in September, said the number of pre-competition tests at Sochi next year would increase 57 percent compared to the previous Winter Olympics in Vancouver."We can clearly say that both as regards to quantity as well as quality this will be the toughest anti-doping programme we have ever had in the Olympic Games", Bach told journalists during a visit to South Korea."The tests will be even more target-oriented... there will be more tests pre-competition... where most of the anti-doping violations are happening," he said.Bach arrived Wednesday to inspect preparations for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics."So the anti-doping test programme for Sochi will be the toughest ever applied in Olympic Winter Games," he said.Bach told the World Conference on Doping in Sport in Johannesburg last week that athletes would undergo 1,269 pre-competition tests -- over 400 more than at the Vancouver games.However the global anti-doping agency this month provisionally suspended the accreditation of Moscow's sports drug-testing laboratory because of questions over the quality of its procedures.Russia's sports minister on Monday promised necessary measures would be taken at the lab, which has until December 1 to improve the reliability of its results.Global leaders passed a new world anti-doping code at the conference in Johannesburg, under which offenders could face up to four-year bans from competitive sport.The code governs competitive sports ranging from athletics to football to cycling, and has been backed by powerful sporting bodies like the International Olympic Committee, world football's governing body FIFA and governments.The revised World Anti-Doping Code follows a two year-long reevaluation, during which the discovery of extensive doping by champion cyclist Lance Armstrong highlighted the challenges of ensuring clean competition.Bach hailed South Korea's preparations for the 2018 Winter Olympics."We're satisfied with progress made by the organising committee. This progress makes us very, very confident about the success of the Winter Games in 2018," he said.The eastern resort town of Pyeongchang won its Olympics bid in 2011 after two failed attempts, and will become the first Asian country to host the Winter Olympics after Japan.jhw/ckp/sm

Torii Hunter's Production, Existing Red Sox Relationships Would Make Him Nice Fit in Boston (Podcast)
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 11/7/12
Now that David Ortiz has been re-signed, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington can turn his attention to other areas of need, and one question mark surrounding the team is its right field situation. According to ESPN's Buster Olney, Cody Ross is seeking a contract in the three-year, $25 million range. While Ross was a heck of a player for Boston last season, there's a chance Cherington and Co. could ultimately find the price tag to be too high and thus look elsewhere when it comes to the corner outfield positions. If the Red Sox do look elsewhere, they'll have some in-house options, including Ryan Kalish. If the club elects to go outside the organization, either via free agency or trade, Torii Hunter could be an intriguing option. WEEI.com Rob Bradford reports that the Sox are showing interest in Hunter, whom the Angels did not offer a qualifying offer. The 37-year-old is coming off a season in which he hit .313 with 16 home runs and 92 RBIs in 140 games for the Halos, and the outfielder has a solid relationship with the recently signed Ortiz. All that being said, perhaps he'd be a nice fit in Beantown. NESN.com assistant editor Ricky Doyle caught up with MLB writer Didier Morais to discuss a potential Red Sox-Hunter connection, and they think it would work out well. The two also discussed a number of other topics, though, including Ortiz's new deal, Jacoby Ellsbury's future, potential trade targets and the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

Sincerely, Auction Committee Debbie Hosterman, Auction Chairperson Teresa Arrasmith, Executive Director The Minerva Area YMCA was established in 1981 to fill a need in the Minerva area for quality activities for young people. A group of concerned citizens began meeting in homes to begin planning quality programs that would keep young people off the streets and fill their time with structured activities. What began as an idea has today become a reality. More than 2,500 people are served by programs and services the Minerva Area YMCA now offers. The Mission of the YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. Our promise is that no one will be turned away for an inability to pay for services. All people are welcome, regardless of race, religion, or creed. Christian principles are evident in all areas of programming and the YMCA values of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship are the basis of any instruction offered to young people by staff and volunteers. 3 A Special Thank You . . .

- 28186 Kettle River Blvd. North, Wyoming, MN, 55092
Social Media Breakfast - Minneapolis/St. Paul
Friday, May 21, 2010 from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM (CDT)
SMBMSP 26 - Urban & Organic Gardening
Please join us at the beautiful Progress Center building on the historic Minnesota State Fairgrounds, where we will be discussing how organic gardeners and farmers use Social Media to promote their goods and grow their businesses. We will be having our own mini Farmer's Market and displays from vendors, as well as a knowledgeable panel of professional growers and gardeners.
As this space is not heated or air conditioned, please dress accordingly for the weather the day of the event.
We are also trying something new this month. You will notice that there are a number of tickets labeled "Community Sponsor" which cost $10 each. This will go a long way toward offsetting the cost of food and supplies for the events, thus enabling us to continue providing the coffee and bacon, etc. for each breakfast. These tickets are entirely optional, and are available to those who would like to help support the SMBMSP community. (A brilliant idea that we're blatantly "borrowing" from MinneBar.)
Thank you for your support!
May 21st, 2010 - 8am to 10am
Progress Center - Minnesota State Fair Grounds
Randall Ave
Falcon Heights, MN 55108

So what is a "Social Media Breakfast"? It's where folks get together to talk about using social media and social networking tools in their business or careers. It's about networking, it's about learning, and mostly it's about people.

In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

The Palestinian Authority has finally applied to join the International Criminal Court, after months of threatening to do so. But will the PA use the court to hold Israel to account for potential war crimes?
The Palestinian Authority has finally applied to join the International Criminal Court, after months of threatening to do so. But will the PA use the court to hold Israel to account for potential war crimes?
Israel had grown accustomed to an absence of terrorist attacks in its cities: so the bloody murder of four worshippers and wounding of eight more at a Jerusalem synagogue on Tuesday was a shock. It illuminates the fragile, fractious state of the country, including the fact that the cabinet is riven, and may collapse soon.
Bursts of Israeli settlement construction in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, once the subject of intense news coverage, have become almost routine.
For Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iran and the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, are essentially the same thing.
Last week, Israel announced that it was appropriating nearly 1,000 acres of private Palestinian land near Bethlehem. The seizure, which one anti-settlement group called the largest in 30 years, was condemned by Palestinians, the United Nations, and criticized by the United States.
It's time to wonder whether Israel and Palestine will ever be able to move out of the moral abyss into which they've plunged themselves, and address the threat of peace.
Cairo's efforts to mediate between Israel and the Palestinians in Gaza, according to conventional wisdom, have largely been dictated by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's animosity toward Hamas. After all, Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Sisi's government has declared a terrorist organization and regards as a serious threat.
To understand whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to send ground troops into Gaza, it might help to scrutinize one of his decisions from this week.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to last week's National Conference of the America-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was another rhetorical tour-de-force by this most silvered-tongued of Israeli leaders.
High-level Geneva talks with Iran adjourned November 11 without reaching an agreement. Lower-level talks are to scheduled to reconvene Wednesday. The Western objective is a pause in Iran's nuclear program — stopping the clock and allowing more time to reach a permanent agreement.
