Saturated fat does not cause cardiovascular disease, according to a new Cambridge University study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The real cause of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes is a high-sugar, high-carb diet, said researchers.
"It's not saturated fat that we should worry about," said Dr. Rajiv Chowdhury, lead author of the study and a cardiovascular epidemiologist at Cambridge University.
It's the high-carbohydrate or sugary diet that should be the focus of dietary guidelines. If anything is driving your low-density lipoproteins in a more adverse way, it's carbohydrates."
Dr. Chowdhury joins a growing list of medical experts to dispel the myth that saturated fat is the cause of obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. A high-carb diet (particularly one high in sugar and refined carbs) is to blame for these illnesses, he said.
Dr. Chowdhury and his colleagues drew their conclusions after reviewing data from 72 published studies of more than 600,000 people from 18 countries.
Chowdhury is not the only heart doctor who holds this opinion. Cardiologist Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly, said a low-carb, high-fat, wheat-free diet reverses diabetes and prevents heart disease.
'The Food industry Has Profited from the Low-Fat Mantra for Decades'
In October 2013, cardiologist Aseem Malhotra rocked the nutrition world with his declaration that unprocessed saturated fat is good for you.
In his research, Dr. Malhotra found no evidence that a high-fat diet causes heart attacks, obesity or diabetes. If anything, he said consuming healthy fats (like those found in grass-fed meat, coconut oil, butter, olive oil, salmon and avocados) protect against these diseases.
"The mantra that saturated fat must be removed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease has dominated dietary advice and guidelines for almost four decades," Dr. Malhotra wrote in the British Medical Journal:
It is time to bust the myth of the role of saturated fat in heart disease and wind back the harms of dietary advice that has contributed to obesity.
The food industry has profited from the low-fat mantra for decades because foods that are marketed as low-fat are often loaded with sugar. We are now learning that added sugar in food is driving the obesity epidemic and the rise in diabetes and cardiovascular disease."
Similarly, obesity expert Dr. Eric Westman underscored that a high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet not only produces rapid weight loss, but also combats epilepsy and reverses type 2 diabetes.
Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter, author of Grain Brain, told me the low-carb ketogenic diet prevents — and in some instances reverses — Alzheimer's disease and ADHD.
"Carbs are devastating for the brain," said Dr. Perlmutter. "Even slight elevations in blood sugar have been shown to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease."
Dr. Jeff Volek, author of The Art and Science of Low-Carbohydrate Living, told me the ketogenic diet reverses type 2 diabetes, prevents heart disease, and causes fast weight loss without hunger. "There are very few people that a ketogenic diet could not help," said Dr. Volek.
Cancer researcher Dr. Thomas Seyfried recently told me the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet can replace chemotherapy for almost all cancers.
Dr. Eric Westman, director of the Duke University Obesity Clinic, is pleased that mainstream media is finally debunking the myth that eating fat makes you fat and sick. To the contrary, he said: Eating fat makes you skinny and healthy.
"I tell my patients not to fear the fat," said Dr. Westman, author of A New Atkins for a New You. "Eat lots of fat. Fat makes you feel full. There's no problem with fat. In fact, saturated fat, the fat that we've been taught not to eat, raises your good cholesterol best of all the foods you can eat."

Email Coach Sinnott
Eddie Sinnott is in his 26th year as head coach of the SMU men's swimming and diving team. The 16-time conference Coach of the Year has led the Mustangs to 16 league crowns in the past 18 seasons. Under Sinnott, SMU recorded 11 NCAA top-15 finishes, 338 All-America honors, and 248 individual conference champion titles.
An accomplished coach on the international level, Sinnott has coached 10 student-athletes since 1992 who have competed in six different Olympic games. In 1996, former Mustang great Ryan Berube won a gold medal as a team member of the U.S.A. 800 free relay team. In the summer of 2000, Lars Frolander became the fourth Mustang to win a gold medal at the Olympics games, taking first in the 100 butterfly in Sydney, Australia. Under Sinnott, both Berube and Frolander were named NCAA Swimmers of the Year within two years of each other (Berube-1996, Frolander-1998).
Sinnott has also served United States Swimming in various capacities. He was the team leader and the men's head coach of the U.S. squad at the World University Games in 1993, and a head coach and assistant coach for the U.S. Olympic Festival team in 1987 and 1993, respectively. Sinnott also served as the head coach of the U.S. National Team on its European Tour in 1987. In the 2008 Olympics, Sinnott was the U.S. Olympic Team assistant manager.
In addition to coaching for the United States, Sinnott served on the Olympic International Organizing Committee from 1984-92. He was the head coach for Haiti in the 1996 Olympic Games. He also served as the assistant coach for Columbia, Denmark, and South Africa in the World Short Course Championships.
A four-year letterwinner at SMU from 1973-76, Sinnott was the SWC champion in the 400 IM in 1973 and earned All-American honors in both 1973 and 1974. Born in Greenwich, Conn., Sinnott and his wife, Sioux, have two daughters K.C. and Silver Ann.

text: The animals are here to help us. They don't need help. We are the ones that need help. Does that mean we step aside and do nothing for the homeless, abused, sick or endangered animals? Of course not. What people don't realize, though, is that the reason we are a voice for the animals, is to ultimately help ourselves. What harm we do to animals, we do to ourselves - we do to humanity. What good we do for the animals, we do for our souls - for our spirit. Animals play a powerful role in our lives. They will follow through with their plan to help us no matter what they have to endure, even if it costs them their life, because of their unconditional love for us. Animals are windows to our soul and doorways to our spiritual destiny. If you let animals into your life and allow them to teach you, you will be better for it. It's really as simple as that.

Five inducted into IGFA Hall of Fame
It was a special night Tuesday as five men were inducted into the IGFA Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum in Dania Beach.
Mike Leech of Fort Lauderdale, the former IGFA president, was honored for his many contributions to the organization and to promoting marine conservation. Leech put together the first IGFA auction and banquet, which was first held in 1985 and has raised millions of dollars for the IGFA's programs. He also expanded IGFA's world record categories, established new clubs for bass, snook, grand slams and thousand-pound fish, and created the junior angler world record program. Perhaps his biggest contribution was moving the IGFA from a tiny, rented strip mall office in Pompano Beach to its beautiful, permanent home in 1999.
Al Anderson, a former teacher and charter captain out of Rhode Island, was honored for his conservation efforts, highlighted by his tagging of more than 57,000 fish, including tunas, sharks, bluefish and sea bass, caught by him and his customers. Anderson told how the first fish he tagged was a largemouth bass that he caught when he was a graduate student at Adelphi University in New York more than 50 years ago. He used a homemade tag and he caught that same bass five more times, which proved to him that properly handled, tagged fish could thrive and provide answers to questions about their growth rates and travels.
Also honored were Darrell Lowrance, who developed the first fishfinder and whose Lowrance Electronics came up with many innovations, including the first units to incorporate GPS; Monty Padilla Nicolin, the first president of the Mexican Sportfishing Federation and a personal adviser to Mexico's Secretary of Fishing, who has promoted and protected recreational fishing in Mexico; and the late Bill Poole, a longtime Southern California charter captain who pioneered long-range fishing.

Major League Baseball has suspended four players for their actions in Sunday's brawl Between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates. The fight broke out when Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez was confronted by Pirates pitcher Garrit Cole who appeared to be upset at the fact that Gomez flipped his bat and stared at the ball he had just hit off Cole which he thought was going to be a home run. The ball ended up hitting off the outfield wall in center field and Gomez wound up with a triple. He exchanged words with Cole immediately following the play and became enraged. The benches emptied and several players got into altercations.
Pirates outfielder Travis Snider was suspended two games for tackling Gomez to the ground and catcher Russel Martin was suspended one game for pushing Gomez, who received a three-game suspension. Milwaukee catcher Martin Maldonado received the largest suspension at five games for punching Snider who was left with a cut and a bruise on his eye.
Gomez, Snider, and Martin all plan to appeal their suspensions and will play in their teams' games on Tuesday. Martin Maldonado will begin serving his suspension immediately. Garrit Cole was not suspended for any games.

Aug. 10, 2011
DeKALB, Ill. - For the first time since preseason camp started at Northern Illinois last Thursday, the Huskie football team did not practice Tuesday. That does not mean, however, that Dave Doeren's football team had the day off as NIU players and coaches took part in the team's annual Media and Photo Day at Huskie Stadium.
Media day began with lunch at the Barsema Alumni and Visitors Center on the NIU campus, where Doeren, Associate Vice-President and Director of Athletics Jeff Compher, and Head Women's Volleyball Coach Ray Gooden all addressed the crowd.
After hearing from Compher and the coaches, the action moved to Huskie Stadium, where the Huskies' annual photo day was in full swing. As the newcomers were photographed in both coat and tie and jersey, all returning players also completed two individual photo stations.
In addition, approximately 20 different players were interviewed - from Chandler Harnish, Sean Progar and Pat Schiller, to punter Ryan Neir, and one-time local prep standouts and current Huskies Michael Santacaterina and Bobby Winkel.
Following the individual photos, the Huskie seniors and NIU coaching staff group photos were taken. Position groups posed with their coaches before the players were organized by class for the team photo. The team photo was taken in the East stands and the entire day actually was completed 30 minutes earlier than expected thanks to the cooperation of the players.
Below are some excerpts from Coach Doeren's talk with the media during Tuesday's NIU Football DeKalb Media Day.
On his feelings about preseason camp:
"It's an exciting time. Just like you guys as professionals have the days you look forward to, fall camp is one of mine. I told our team this is the favorite time of the year for me because there's zero distractions. It's football 24-7 and I get to be with those guys and see the leadership and the chemistry.
"As I stand in front of you, I'm not gonna lie to you...I can't wait to get out of this room and back with our guys and that's really what this part of the season is all about. I chose this profession for one reason, I love coaching, I love being around our players, I love helping developing them as players, as men, as students and that's what we're doing right now. Every minute that I'm not with them is a minute that I feel like I'm losing time."
On what he's seen through the first five practices:
"We're five practices in and I have to hand it to our players. Our guys are unbelievable when it comes to dealing with adversity. One of our mottoes is it doesn't matter what happens, we'll do things the hard way; we'll fight through adversity. We enjoy staring it in the face. Yesterday, with two lightning delays and going on and off the field, we had a great practice. We had tremendous tempo and energy and it was one of the most competitive 90 minutes I've seen as a coach. I really have enjoyed the first five days."
On the tailback competition:
"NIU has a tremendous tradition at tailback. Jas Hopkins has started where he left off in the spring. He's a very competitive guy. I'm proud of the way he's working. Jamal Womble, Leighton Settle and Akeem Daniels all have had good camps. Jamal had his best day yesterday and Leighton's best day was the day before. There's some great competition and we will share the rock in the backfield. There will be times when we have two or three running backs in the game."
On NIU quarterback Chandler Harnish:
"He doesn't get rattled. I'm really impressed, more so than anything, with how he handles a bad day. When he doesn't have things go his way in practice, he can bounce back. You never see him drop his head, you never see him complain. He's a consummate team guy from that standpoint. I haven't had a day on campus yet where I've had to counsel him...he bought in from the day I walked in the office and that part I really appreciate."
On the defensive line:
"On the defensive line, Sean Progar is someone you all are familiar with. He is playing extremely well with Kyle Jenkins backing him up. On the other side, there is a good competition going on between Joe Windsor and Alan Baxter. At defensive tackle, there are a lot of guys rotating inside for us right now and that will be how it goes through the first 3-4 weeks of the season. [There are] a lot of things happening at our defensive tackle position. The best defensive lines I've coached have been the ones that have depth and that you can continue to roll those guys through the game and keep 'em fresh so they have the same ability to disrupt for four quarters. That's our goal. We'll play 10 guys on game day on the defensive line if we're capable.
On the middle linebacker position:
"At middle linebacker, we moved Pat Schiller from outside back to inside where he used to play. He's really at home. He's having a really nice camp. He adds some things to our defense leadership wise. We lost a returning starter, but replaced him with a guy that has started at that position for the whole season."
On the competition at kicker:
"Maybe the most heated competition on our team is at kicker. Sims and Gallington are competing for our kicking position, and Fillingim and Wedel are in the mix for our kickoff position. That will go on for a while. There are a lot of good things happening day in and day out. It's fun to watch those guys compete.
"It's way too early to pick one. Josh [Gallington] is at a disadvantage in that he's got a new holder and new snapper and this is Mat's second year with them. Once Josh gets used to the trust factor of the snap, the hold, the time, we hope that the competition gets even stiffer. It may go right to game day. We've got to make some decisions and I can't make them until we've got more kicks on the field."
On the depth chart overall:
"We're only five practices in and there are 24 more left before we play a game, so what I just said, a lot of that could change. Our guys will continue to compete and we'll put them in position to do so."
On the team's development with the no-huddle offense:
"Right now, they're kind of mad when I slow `em down. Each situation in practice is different, but they've bought In to the fact that they can tire people out. That's the whole deal is the conditioning aspect. Part of being a good defense is having an offense that protects you. It's a matter of the flow of the game and what the score is."
On his focus as a head coach now:
"I'm watching the position battles we have. I'm focused in on the positions where I'm not sure who is going to start yet. Most of my focus has been on the competition, making sure that our guys are getting better from a learning standpoint. I try to walk around and talk to players in between plays and help them. I'm trying to be involved with everybody.
"I'm not gonna back out on fundamentals and on toughness. I look at how to make it hard on the other side of the ball. Defensively, I can help those guys on schemes, and offensively, here's how you can make it harder on the offense."
On the residual effect of losing the MAC Championship game in 2010:
"If I even bring up the game, everyone in the room gets angry. Every competitor is the same, they want to win. These guys went through the regular season 8-0, and went out there [in the championship game] and lost on a botched almost interception, and every single one of them wants to redeem it. That's part of the passion they carried into the bowl game was the anger from that one. The best way to get a bad taste out of your mouth is to go win."
On how the Huskies have dealt with coaching transition:
"Our players want to be good here. They want to win a lot of games and they want to compete. They had a sour taste from their experience in the championship game last year, so as long as what you're telling them is something they know can help them win, they're going to be open to it."
On the week-to-week nature of football:
"The bottom line is at the end of the day, we've got to go out year in and year out and prove ourselves. That's what this business is. We're judged every Saturday. That's part of the thing I love about it. It's what have you done for me lately and I get that, our players do too. We're really excited to go out this year and show what kind of product we can present and show to our fans."
On the Huskies' mindset entering the 2011 season:
"These guys want to prove that they are the best. This is a team that has one of the winningest records - if not the winningest - in the conference over the last 10 years, but they haven't hoisted a championship yet and they want to do that. They don't want to be the winningest class that hasn't done that. I think that's something that Chandler [Harnish] in his mind has unfinished business. It will by no means define our season, but I know it's a goal.
"We all make mistakes, we can't make `em twice. Our team is pretty senior-driven. This is a team that loves to play football. It doesn't mean we're gonna win every game, but when it comes to loving the game, they do."

College Hockey:RIT Rolls Over Plattsburgh for Tourney Title
Tigers Win Pepsi Cardinal Classic
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — RIT took advantage of some Plattsburgh mistakes and made some opportunities of its own to win the championship game of the Pepsi Cardinal Classic 8-2 on Saturday.
The Tigers played an extremely aggressive penalty kill early in the first period and it paid dividends. Errol McDonald popped out of the RIT zone with the puck, and took off down the ice 2-on-1. He fed the puck across the slot to linemate Derek Hahn, who beat Plattsburgh netminder Niklas Sundberg high on the glove side for the shorthanded goal at 6:14.
RIT's power play got the second goal of the period, while on the 5-on-3 advantage, at the 11:30 mark. Jerry Galway sent a big blast from the top of the slot that found the back of the net.
RIT played very opportunistic during the later half of the period, taking advantage of the few mistakes that Plattsburgh made. "We certainly got timely goals tonight," said RIT coach Wayne Wilson.
Mike Tarantino took advantage of a Plattsburgh mistake when he stole the puck behind the Cardinal net and tucked in the wraparound at 12:37 for the 4-on-4 tally.
And then Sam Hill intercepted a breakout pass across the Cardinal slot, and then steered the puck around Sundberg at 18:15 for RIT's fourth goal of the period.
The Cardinals began to mount more and more pressure on RIT as the period waned, but were unable to solve Tiger netminder Tyler Euverman.
RIT continued to roll through the first half of the second period. Peter Bournazakis, RIT's leading scorer, finished off a tic-tac-toe play 8:59 into the period for the Tigers' fifth goal.
Jerry Galway one-timed in a pass from Mike Bournazakis at 10:24 for RIT's second power-play goal of the night.
Plattsburgh kept up a strong play in the neutral zone, and it finally paid off at the 12:47 mark with a power-play goal. Peter Ollari took a shot from the top of the slot that Jeff Hopkins tipped on the way into the back of the net to get the Cardinals on the board.
Even play moved the action back and forth across the rink for the remainder of the second period, but the scoring wasn't finished yet. Peter Bournazakis swatted in a rebound for RIT at 16:34. Joe Dolci finished off a 2-on-1 at 16:49 for Plattsburgh.
The second period ended with RIT up 7-2, but with Plattsburgh gaining steam.
RIT struck quick in the third period. Matt Moore kept an attempted clearing pass in at the Cardinal blue line. He sent a pass down to Mike Bournazakis deep in the zone, who passed it across the crease to Jonathan Day. Day tapped the puck in to the net for the goal just 31 seconds in to the period.
End-to-end action continued, with Plattsburgh gaining a decided territorial advantage by mid-period. But the Cardinals couldn't convert on the opportunities. Play turned chippy in the waning moments.
Euverman had a strong night in net for RIT, making 29 saves on 31 shots, and earning the tournament MVP award. "I dont judge him by any but the big games, and he has come up big in every one," said Wilson.
All Tournament Team: Fred Perowne (Colby), Jerry Galway (RIT), Peter Bournazakis (RIT), Mike Tarantino (RIT), Mark Coletta (Plattsburgh), MVP: Tyler Euverman (RIT).

MEDINA — When a 17-year-old Wadsworth High School student went to police in September 2012 and accused an 18-year-old man of raping her, Wadsworth police Detective Dawn Schismenos allowed a friend of the girl's to attend the police interview for moral support.
What the detective didn't know was the girl's 15-year-old friend also would say she was raped by the same man.
Ivan L. Ray IV is on trial before Medina County Common Pleas Judge Christopher J. Collier. Ray opted for a bench trial, meaning Collier will decide the verdict instead of a jury.
Ray, now 20 and a resident of Florida, is charged with two counts of forcible rape, first-degree felonies punishable by up to 11 years in prison each.
The woman, now 19, testified Monday following opening arguments. There is no DNA evidence in the case because the alleged assaults happened seven months before they were reported.
The woman and her friend went to police at the urging of the woman's parents. The woman said she knew her friend also had been raped by Ray, but her friend did not want to tell police.
Her friend only told the detective after she broke down in tears during the interview.
Ray is accused of raping the woman in February 2012 and her friend sometime between Dec. 12, 2011, and February 2012.
The woman testified she met Ray over Facebook when she was 17 years old. Ray was 18 at the time. They exchanged phone numbers and met a couple days later.
"The next time she went to see him … they went up to watch a movie in a bedroom where Mr. Ray was staying with friends," county Assistant Prosecutor Scott Salisbury said during opening arguments.
She testified that Ray, a former wrestler, held her down while he assaulted her.
"I kept saying no and to stop, and I kept trying to push him off me," she said.
Afterward, she said he went to clean up, but she remained in the house.
"Why didn't you run out?" Salisbury asked.
"I was scared of him," she said.
During cross-examination, defense attorney Kristopher Aupperle asked, "Why didn't you use your fists or your nails or your elbows?"
"Shouldn't no be enough?" she said.
Aupperle questioned why she was afraid.
"He's bigger than me," she said. "I wasn't sure what he was capable of."
Aupperle asked the woman about her statement to police that Ray had kissed her shortly after the movie started and she kissed him back.
She acknowledged saying Ray kissed her but said she didn't remember if she kissed him back.
Aupperle asked why she continued to see Ray — even inviting him over to her home for dinner at the request of her parents.
"You were angry with him?" Aupperle asked.
"Correct," she said.
"And yet you invited him to your house for dinner?"
The woman said her parents liked Ray and thought he was a good influence on her. She acknowledged that she had abused prescription drugs and now attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
At the dinner, she said Ray announced he was going to New Mexico to visit his girlfriend. The woman's parents, who may not have known the purpose of the trip, loaned Ray money.
During cross-examination, Aupperle produced printouts of Facebook messages between Ray and the woman. The messages included exchanges such as "I miss you" from both Ray and the woman.
The day Ray returned to Wadsworth, the woman said she ran to greet him and hugged him. Asked if she kissed him, she said there may have been a kiss, but she didn't remember.
Aupperle asked if she also went fishing with Ray and invited him to a barbecue at her home.
The woman said she didn't remember that.
"I don't remember what happened in full detail," she said.
"This is very important," Aupperle said.
"I understand that," she answered.
She will continue her testimony today at 9 a.m.
Her friend, now 17, is expected to take the witness stand during the trial.

It has been a busy seven days at Michigan's Board of State Canvassers.
Wednesday, Raise Michigan dropped off boxes of signatures for the ballot proposal to increase the state's minimum wage to $10.10 per hour.
The day before, the pro-hunting group Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management submitted their petitions to allow the wolf hunt to continue and appropriate money to control Asian Carp and other invasive aquatic species.
Finally, on Thursday of last week the Board of State Canvassers approved placing a measure to approve the legislature's repeal of the state's personal property tax on the August 5 ballot.
Raise Michigan
Wednesday afternoon, Raise Michigan delivered petitions bearing 319,784 signatures to the Secretary of State in Lansing. This would put the measure on the November ballot once the signature is certified.
The group did this despite the passage the day before of a bill repealing the minimum wage law that the ballot measure seeks to amend, replacing it with a new statute raising the minimum wage to $9.25 per hour by 2018 and then indexing it to inflation.
In a statement quoted by MLive, Raise Michigan member Danielle Atkinson said, "We know that public support is behind us and we're confident that people want to see this on the ballot in November."
A poll by EPIC-MRA published by the Detroit Free Press showed that Atkinson was correct. Fifty-six percent of those surveyed favored an increase of the minimum wage to $10.10, while only forty-nine percent supported an increase to $9.20, the level in the original State Senate bill before it passed both houses and was signed by Snyder.
If the referendum ends up on the ballot but results up having no effect, it would share the same fate as the first initiative to stop the wolf hunt in the Upper Peninsula. That measure was approved to go on the November ballot, but was superseded by an act of the state legislature.
Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management
Tuesday, MLive reported that Citizens for Professional Wildlife Management submitted petitions bearing more than 374,000 signatures to the Secretary of State, much more than the 258,088 required to put it on the November ballot.
The measure would allow reaffirm the ability of the Natural Resources Commission to designate a game species, including the gray wolf, which is the current law.
It would also require the state to continue to offer free hunting and fishing licenses to active-duty members of the armed services and require an appropriation for one million dollars to fight Asian Carp and other aquatic invasive species.
The signature gatherers used this last item to induce people to sign the petition, highlighting combatting Asian Carp and not mentioning the wolf hunt unless pressed.
Two fates await the measure after the Board of State Canvassers certifies the measure. It could go on the ballot. In that case, whichever of the wolf hunt initiatives getting the most yes votes would take effect. It could also be acted upon by the state legislature within 40 days, in which case it would take effect, rendering votes on the two anti-hunting initiatives meaningless.
Personal Property Tax Repeal
The State Board of Canvassers voted last Thursday to place the repeal of the personal property tax before the voters. It will be Proposal 1 on the August 5 primary ballot.
The measure has already been passed by the legislature, but it requires a vote of the people to take effect.

"A Time To Kill" is a movie loosely inspired by a true story. Based on the John Grisham's book by the same name, the movie premiered in theaters in 1996 starring Samuel Jackson, according to the New York Times. The names were changed in the film.
"A Time To Kill" synopsis/plot
White lawyer Jake Brigance takes on the murder case of a Black man in Clanton, Miss, who is accused of killing two White men for the rape of his daughter.
"A Time To Kill" entertains themes of racial violence, rape, Ku Klux Klan, murder and courtroom drama.
According to John Grisham, he based the movie on a Mississippi case that happened sometime between 1980 and 1984 in Desoto County. Grisham stated that he heard the testimony of a rape case involving a teenage girl. He got the idea for the movie after he thought about what he might do in a case involving the rape of his daughter, according to TV.COM.
The movie is now available on DVD and shows on most cable channels.

A Colorado community is disturbed at the actions taken by a school after a female student shaved her head, Fox Carolina reported March 25.
The story has now gone viral on social media after Kamryn Renfro, a student at Caprock Academy, was suspended after shaving her head to support a friend.
Delany Clements lost her hair while battling cancer, and Kamryn shaved her own head in support of her friend.
The charter school, which is a tuition-free public school in Grand Junction, first banned Kamryn from attending classes, then reversed their decision pending a meeting Tuesday evening. The meeting will take place at the school at 6 p.m. in a closed session.
Caprock Academy believes a non-distracting environment is best for the learning experience, but did state that exceptions could be made under extraordinary circumstances.
According to the school board's chairwoman, it goes against the school dress code, which encourages everyone to look the same. Since Caprock is a state-affiliated charter school, it's not governed by the District 51 school board.
Kamryn was originally told she couldn't return to school until her hair grew back.
One person who read of this tragic situation has suggested that all of the students unite and shave their heads, as it's unlikely the entire school body would face suspension.
Caprock Board of Directors Chairwoman and President Catherine M. Norton Breman stated in a press release Monday that
"shaved heads are not permitted by the school's dress code policy, which was created to promote safety, uniformity, and a non-distracting environment for the school's students."
Caprock Academy has set a bad example here by punishing a girl who was only showing support for her cancer-stricken friend.
It's also disrespectful of Delany Clements, who although she lost her hair through chemotherapy, would also likely be judged as going against the school's dress code.
This story brings to mind the Examiner story I did about a North Andover High student who was suspended for driving an intoxicated friend home.
No matter what good deed a student may do, there's always someone out there ready to belittle them. How do you feel about this situation?
Will the action taken by the Grand Junction school board affect Kamryn in the years ahead? Most likely it will, as she's at an impressionable age to have to deal with what happened.
Please leave a comment below. Personally, I commend Kamryn for the method she used to support her friend. She did nothing wrong, and the school district should apologize to her immediately.

Secrets of Success
Felt like a typical Sunday
Sunday, November 18, 2012
Well, I'm up and ready to go to church but dad's not up yet. If he's not up by 8:30am, I guess that I will be walking. I hope that our neighbor doesn't have his dogs out. Our neighborn next door has 3 dogs about the size that attacked me about 2 months ago.
I hope the knuckle on my middle finger on my left hand heals soon. I was getting parts for the garage here in town while dad was getting himself a cup of coffee, I was going t omeet him when I hit my knuckle (the middle one on the middle finger) right into the metal door. I told dad that he could of heard me cuss even though we werent too far apart. It all happened Friday afternoon. It hurts every once in a while.
It doesn't seem possible that Thanksgiving is 4 days away from now. My family had something happen that day and a birthday. My mom's dad passed away on Thanksgiving in 1985 and it would of been my great aunt (my mom's dad's sister). Plus it was a tragedy for our country. JFK was killed that day. My mom was in the 7th grade and they had a band concert (my mom played the flute and so do I) that was almost cancelled. They did in memory of JFK.
I went ahead and put the cat into his pet taxi so I can get things done around the hosue before going to church this morning. Right now I'm on the computer. Plus I can hear if my dad is getting up. So far, no sound coming from his room yet. He may surprise me and get up.
Dad got up and is in the bathroom. It'll be a while until he's done in there. At least I won't be sitting alone when we go to church.
I got to play a music CD in my new computer last night. I played my Neil Diamond Three Chord Opera CD and it sounded great.
Made it to church on time this morning. Next Sunday is when we get our chruch ready for Advent and Christmas.
I'm taking apart a leftover yarn afghan. This is the leftover yarn afghan that got holes in it when I washed it. So I'm taking it apart and using the yarn in the leftover yarn afghan I'm crocheting.
I've sold another Christmas stocking. First is was to a former mechanic for the garage here in town (he works for a parts store in another town) and this one that I sold is to a classmate of mine from high school. She saw a picture that I posted on Facebook and she wants one. She wants to give it to a friend as a late birthday/Christmas gift. I won't see her until after the first of the month when she's in town. Plus she's not sure on the color she wants.

The North-West coast of Norway is a rough and potentially dangerous area for sea traffic. To reduce current hazards, the Norwegian Coastal Development Authority is considering proposals for a ship tunnel, aiming to provide protected passage and minimize journey time in the highly exposed Stad area.
Certain parts of the north-western coastline off Norway pose a significant challenge for ships during severe weather. One of the major obstacles is the passage west of the Stad headland, midway between Bergen and Trondheim. Many vessels have met their fate in this harsh and exposed area between the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea. During storms, coastal freighters commonly wait in port either side of Stad. Incidents and accidents, as well as the uncertainties and the waiting, led to the idea that the way to secure safe and regular passages would be a tunnel through the headland.
Several studies have been conducted over the years, all suggesting that the project is feasible, and foreseeing few technical obstacles. The planned tunnel will connect the Moldefjord to the Vanylvsfjord, a distance of about 1.8km.
The Norwegian Coastal Development Authority is currently evaluating a tunnel designed to carry ships of several thousand tonnes, but not the biggest carriers. A width of 36 metres, and a height of the roof 37 metres above sea-level, and the water depth will allow a draft of 12 metres.
Cross section for the planned rock tunnel
NGI provides engineering geology expertiseSignificant amounts of rock will have to be excavated and disposed of. NGI has been engaged to evaluate the rock mechanics aspects related to such excavations, based on long time experience with planning and design of large rock caverns for the hydro power industry and, transportation and infrastructure, both in Norway and internationally. The Stad tunnel project is regarded as straightforward in terms of construction and engineering.

Andrew Austin Releases Video for 'If It Ain't This Town' from While It's Still Light Out LP
Appearing on Canada AM May 8 + CMW showcases
Toronto singer-songwriter Andrew Austin continues to build momentum off his debut album 'While It's Still Light Out,' appearing on Canada AM Thursday May 8 ahead of two showcase sets at Canadian Music Week.
On top of that, Austin has released a heart-achingly nostalgic video for the song 'If It Ain't This Town,' directed by Eric James Mayer.
Upcoming Dates
Thursday May 8 — Toronto ON — The Supermarket 9PM (CMW)
Friday May 9 — Toronto ON — CBC Lounge @ The Marriott 12PM (CMW)
Friday May 16 — Toronto ON — Royal Ontario Museum 8:30PM
Thursday June 5 — Toronto ON — Drake Hotel 8:30PM (w/ Scarlett Jane)
Saturday June 28 — Sarnia ON — Sarnia Centennial Celebration 2PM
Austin, a native of Sarnia ON, recruited legendary producer David Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Super Furry Animals) to help carve out the sound he has been cultivating for years. Recorded in Newfeld's Dobbstown, Ontario Haunted Church studio, the process of creating 'While It's Still Light Out' was so involved and intense that Austin ended up living out of the adjoining Priest's House for a period of time.
Austin's resume also includes a stint as bandleader for Andy Kim and performing in a Beatles tribute act. But perhaps he is best known to some as the voice behind Tim Horton's 'It's Time For Tims' and Alexander Keith's 'Toast This Life' campaigns. The latter ended up charting in the top 10 on ITunes and has achieved over 100,000 hits on Youtube and counting. You can listen to the 'Toast This LIfe' tune HERE.
'While It's Still Light Out' Track List
1. To Love Like This Again
2. Inside Out
3. Thousand Eyelids
4. If It Ain't This Town
5. Sending Out A Message
6. Disappear
7. Missile Under My Bed
8. Cheap Motel
9. Here Comes The River
10. Beautiful Bones
11. If This Is Your Love
12. The Night

For more than a decade, the month of April has been about saving and healing lives.
Donate Life champions across the country fill the month of April with powerful testimonials to demonstrate the lifesaving message of donation and transplantation.
The goal of National Donate Life Month is to make life possible by educating and motivating individuals to register their decision to be organ, eye and tissue donors.
One of those champions is Taylor County Circuit Court Clerk Rodney Burress.
Campbellsville University's annual Derby Rose Gala is planned for Thursday, April 29, with a dinner and a concert featuring contemporary Christian music singer Amy Grant.
The gala is sponsored by the Campbellsville University Advancement Board. Proceeds from the event go toward student scholarships.
Grant will be performing with Ellie Holcomb and Nichole Nordeman on their Live Life Together Tour.
Market Off Main is making a comeback to its original roots this year, and the 2016 season is about to kick off.
This year the event is focusing on artisan-only vendors, which includes handmade and homemade items, produce, flowers and food. They will not be accepting direct sales.
"We want to get back to showcasing the talent that is in the area," Campbellsville Main Street Vice President Karen Patton said.
A Campbellsville woman accused of a murder at St. Francis was formally indicted by a Marion County Grand Jury late last month.
On Monday, March 28, Brandy N. Roth, 33, of Old Columbia Road, was formally charged with murder, a Class A felony; tampering with physical evidence, a Class D felony; receiving stolen property $10,000 or more, a Class C felony; and first-degree persistent felony offender.
There could be money in the state budget for a scoping and planning study on improvements to KY 210 from Campbellsville to the Lincoln Parkway in Hodgenville.
That's the message from Ron McMahan, executive director for Team Taylor County, the county's economic development authority.
"The House has $600,000. The Senate has $250,000 proposed for a scope study on 210," said State Sen. Max Wise (R-Campbellsville). "It will be decided during the conference committee."
A Dunkin' Donuts will likely open this summer on the former site of Jackson Gas at 504 E. Broadway St.
"Everything has been approved. There's even a store number," said Troy Curry, who co-owns the property with his wife, Leah. "It's been a long time coming."
Talks started last fall, but Curry said it's taken some time to get everything approved. He didn't know the store number at press time.
Petitions for a special alcohol referendum in Campbellsville appeared last week at Harden Coffee on Main Street and Phillips Lanes, a bowling alley at 164 Bambi Dr.
Pat Keefe is behind the petition.
"I'll be visiting voters door-to-door in a week or two," said Keefe. To hold a wet/dry election, a person or group has to collect signatures on a petition; the number of signatures has to be at least 25 percent of the voter turnout from the last election.
Stormy Colvin is a daughter, sister, mother, friend, girlfriend, an ex-addict and most recently a fighter. Colvin has been addicted and using IV drugs for the past two years and it wasn't until last month that a close call with death would be enough to scare her to get clean.
"I've never been so close to death in my life," she said. "I was terrified."
She was taking a mix of Subutex and methamphetamine on a daily basis, putting a needle in her arm up to 20 times a day to just get that high.
A Campbellsville man accused of sexually abusing a child three-and-a-half years ago is one of 15 people a Taylor County Grand Jury indicted last week.
Brian E. Gaudinier, 30, of Browns Court, was charged with first-degree sexual abuse — victim less than 12 years old — a Class C felony; and first-degree sexual abuse, a Class D felony.
The first charge stemmed from reported incidents from Sept. 1-Oct. 4 of 2012. The second charge stemmed from reported incidents on Nov. 1-30 of last year.
Taylor Regional Hospital held a groundbreaking for the new 15,375 square foot rehab services facility that will be built over the next nine months. The building design will also accommodate the Taylor Regional Orthopedic Group practice.
"We are very excited," Jane Wheatley, TRH Chief Executive Officer, said.
An aquatic therapy pool will also be one of the features in the new facility.
"This building just gives us another opportunity to be a regional hub," John Miller, TRH board chairman, said.

All parties involved in a court case on today's Saba Saba rally consented to the order holding Cord responsible for any damage, Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and Chief Justice Willy Mutunga have said.
Sonko, who filed the case, said lawyers for Cord leaders also accepted the ruling that today is not a public holiday, and that the three opposition leaders would not call for mass action.
"It is hypocritical for Cord to accuse the executive of using the judiciary to muzzle democracy and freedom when their own lawyer was in court and accepted the conditions, which the judge then went ahead to record before reading the ruling," Sonko said.
Cord leader Raila Odinga had written to the CJ, protesting the court's order. In response, the CJ issued a statement saying a consent order was signed before Justice Isaac Lenaola.
Mutunga said it was clear that Cord was represented in the case. "It is therefore not accurate to state that the order was granted ex-parte and without hearing any representations from the parties," the CJ said.

Then and there, I began planning my wardrobe (skinny jeans, long-sleeved Petit Bateau cotton crewneck), my deportment (a hug is OK, but nothing lingering) and my pronouns (use weas often as possible).
Stephen was waiting for me outside a café on the Upper East Side. We awkwardly embraced, and I gauged my reaction to him—wary, curious, and yes, my heart was thumping a bit—as though calibrating a terrorism-alert threat level. Over cappuccino (mine virtually untouched), I covered my nervousness by asking about his work, about his now-adult children. He asked if my husband knew about our meeting. (Of course he did.) Didn't his wife? ("She asked me if it was something I really wanted to do. And I said it was.") Perhaps he'd like to meet my husband? ("I don't think I could bear it.")
I told him I was still an obsessive swimmer and had taken up cooking and gardening with a vengeance, all things I'd written about in various publications.
"Yes, I know," he said.
"You know?"
"I've been following your work for years. I'll start to read something, and honestly, I can tell it's you without looking at the name."
We had never been very good at sitting across a table from each other. Stephen had barely gotten to the bottom of his coffee cup when I suggested we adjourn to Central Park, where we wandered and talked for the next three hours. I learned that he had been in New York several times over the years but hadn't gotten in touch. He'd done so this time, he said, because "I didn't want to not see you again."
Before leaving me in the late afternoon (to meet his wife's brother for dinner), he spelled out his preferred terms of engagement: OK to the occasional e-mail, but please, no phone calls, "because we know where that has led." I considered retorting, "Oh, where was that?" But for one of the few times in my life, I shut up. I returned home in the euphoric state so familiar to me from my love-affair days.
I have a long-married friend who sees her college boyfriend for lunch once or twice a year. She has no residual sexual or romantic feelings for him, but she hears his voice and instantly remembers what it felt like to be 18.
Well, I don't want to remember being in my twenties, hopelessly in love with a married man. I want what I got on that unseasonably warm autumn day: validation that I had mattered to the married man. But it turns out I wanted much more. I wanted to know that I still matter.
And of course now he'll read this and know that he still matters to me.

2012 Cubs report card
Check out our expert's grades, then share yours for each player on the 2012 team
Everybody expected the Chicago Cubs to struggle in 2012, yet watching it all play out was still startling as the club sank to new depths.
The offense struggled, the starters faltered and the bullpen was mediocre at best. And that was all before two months of the season had passed. The rotation rebounded somewhat but then came an injury to Matt Garza and the trades of Ryan Dempster and Paul Maholm as new prospects were sprinkled among the farm system.
There were pleasant surprises like Alfonso Soriano's run production, Darwin Barney's defense, Starlin Castro's contract extension, Jeff Samardzija's rebirth as a starter and Anthony Rizzo's arrival, but it failed to cover up for so many other deficiencies. It was a rebuilding year, though, all in the name of a brighter future so patience was asked. Judging by a final attendance of 2.82 million, patience was given. How much patience is left remains to be seen as the struggles are expected to continue into the 2013 season.
It brings us to the final 2012 grades for each player, and once again fans will have a chance to offer their own assessment. We won't grade every one of the franchise-high 53 players the Cubs used this season, but we'll get to many of them so this could take some time.
Pleased with the direction the franchise is headed? Angry at the product fans were asked to watch? Share your thoughts in the comments section.
Welington Castillo, C

Jeff Baker, IF

Padilla: Clubhouse leader and fourth outfielder was moved at the deadline just as his bat was coming around. Grade: B
Marlon Byrd, OF
Padilla: Zero production before being traded and did nothing at Boston either. Then came a suspension. Grade: F

Michael Bowden, RP
Padilla: Waiver claim couldn't make adjustments early but was much improved after demotion to Iowa. Grade: C

Padilla: Had a rough go in 17 appearances (one start), posting a 7.40 ERA before an injury ended his season. Grade: D
Manny Corpas, RP
Padilla: Former closer, back from Tommy John surgery, got his legs back under him and could play bigger role in 2013. Grade: C
Rafael Dolis, RP

Dale Sveum, MGR
Padilla: Couldn't squeeze many wins from this crew as expected, but was a patient teacher and had a professional clubhouse. Grade: B
Jed Hoyer, GM
Padilla: Undertook demolition project with abandon. Would have added even better young talent if not for Dempster trade veto. Grade: B-

5 Reasons to Integrate Your WCM System with Social Media Sites/Services
By billy.cripe on Aug 28, 2009
Many organizations still approach social media with a mix of trepidation and curiosity that can either foster experimentation or dismiss this inevitable evolution of information interaction as a fad. But this mindset misses the safety and incrementalism inherent in any evolutionary system. It's not all or nothing. To those ends comes a good article from CMS Watch on 5 ways and reasons to integrate your Web Content Management system with Internal and/or External Social Sites.
You'll need to click through to read the rationale behind the reasons but here they are...
I've added my own brief commentary to each of the reasons:
1. Approvals - bring governance into the social broadcast areana. An extension to the social realm of most Marketing / PR communications policies that already exist.
2. Scheduled publishing - A good efficiency / convenience booster for wider broadcast of your message. But don't confuse broadcast for interaction. Social Media hates one-way communication because it is not, er, social.
3. Alerting - related to #2 but more for the microblogging/twitter/yammer gang. "Something new has been posted check it out". Most of us who blog and twitter do this already but then we actually interact with folks who ReTweet or Direct Message or Converse with us. Alerting might be the start of that conversation but don't confuse it for an actual conversation proxy and don't overdo it! Your Twitter followers don't want to know when the cafeteria menu has been updated on your intranet.
4. Archiving - Another Governance play here. Achiving of all SM communications as a requirement or even a cost mitigating risk management plan hasn't caught on yet despite lots of hand wringing. The reason is that it cannot be consistently enforced for all SM communications for all employees in an organization. Not sure on the value here but it certainly can be done and may be a balance tipper in risk sensitive organizations.
5. Repurposing - This, to my mind, is by far the most valuable reason to integrate WCM with Social Media information channels. Reusing information just makes sense and if you can automate a tweet or a Facebook update with an article abstract or a new product description so much the better. But the real power is in the aggregation of the SM outputs mashed up with inbound messaging you are receiving. That is a very good way to track your WCM managed sites influence and penetration, a good way to track trends and interest spikes etc. But I've written about that before and am due for another post on the topic soon!

Do work, Aventurine, DO WORK.
You know, I will never say that I log in and play nearly as much as the average MMO gamer. In fact, I play only about 1-2 hours a day, and even then I play in such a slow godawful way that many would consider it a joke. I am almost jealous of those players that can sit and grind out 6 hours a night doing the same thing over and over, because that is what is required a lot of the time to "achieve" the coolest levels of cool in many MMO's (one reason I love/hate FFXI: the appeal of all the cool stuff that I will never see because I cannot stand to grind that damn much.)
Also, I cannot physically read or stare at the screen for that long. That's a sure-fire way to stumble onto a headache-of-the-eye for the next two days.
So, I am love with odd games that allow you alternate ways to "achieve" anything, games like Fallen Earth that give you choices for things to do by saying that ALL things (crafting, exploring, leveling, grinding) are important. Or, like Darkfall. Say what you will about Darkfall (trust me, I have said it) but in my short time with the game (one and a half months) I think that I stumbled across a game that is more chock-full of Immersive goodness than almost any game out there. But the game was a little too clunky and boring for me, even the "danger" of PvP was a bore being that nothing of any importance happened when I died. (I respawned and maybe lost only something that was easily obtainable.)
So, from a distance, I have been keeping an eye on the game hoping that one day it would have more good than bad and would pull me back in. This latest patch (a free expansion, really) might just have it. I wanted the world to be more full, full of creatures to hunt and to give the game some life, and they seem to have added them. Also, the animals to hunt supposedly respond like a real hunted animal! (going off of what I have heard.)
Then, there is the sick Kraken video. (Ugh. I need to quit using that douchey term. I meant "cool.")
Campfires...sea-towns?? Cool!!
So, why aren't I buying the game RIGHT NOW? (The account I played on before was on loan.) Well, because I have learned that if you are going to spend 50-90 bucks on a game, (just spent 50 on Fallen Earth) you had better make sure that the new expansion/patch that was just released was actually, you know, sick. I'll let the dust settle maybe for a bit. See if they offer a trial. And ask to see if I would truly have to become a "normal gamer" (groups a lot, joins guilds) in order to actually see a "sea-town" or to hunt like a madman. My experience in the game before was mostly negative because of the lame community assholes that ruined it for the bulk of the player-base that was cool, and the boring boring boring landscape that was devoid of everything. If at least one of those has changed, I might go for it.
But keep working, Aventurine. Keep shutting up and working and kicking ass. You're game is a niche one, for sure, full of more goatee'd metal listennin' d-bags than I care to be around, but you are doing some fine work. I like you. I think other developers need to shut up, keep it small-ish and DO SOME WORK like you are doing.
Now, let me meditate on the purchase for another few weeks.
So far, they already patched some of the most important issues that came with the expansion. Campfire seems to be missing though (they probably forgot to activate it).
Wildlife, I have to say there's like too many....which by itself isn't that bad ... I guess. Still, love the fact that even monsters will hunt those deers.
Yeah, the game is definitively growing. As for a trial, I know they are giving 10-day free trial cards in Greece at the moment. They will probably enter EU and NA next year.
Greece? Where is this game from? I thought it was somewhere like Greece, but I have no idea.Tue Dec 08 2009 6:47AM Report
