Boston Bombing Probe: Man Jailed For Destroying EvidenceBy: Toni Matthews-El - May 31, 2014
According to the Associated Press, a new arrest has been made in relation the Boston Marathon Bombings.
Khairullozhon Matanov of Quincy, Mass. was charged on Friday with one criminal count of destroying records and three counts of lying to officials in a terrorism investigation.
Matanov is said to be a friend of Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the two men accused of carrying out the Boston Bombings in March 2013.
The 23-year-old Kyrgyzstan national was not arrested for anything to do with the bombings.
It seems that after finding out his good friends were suspected terrorists, Matanov thought the best thing to do was to eliminate any connection to the pair.
His logic stemmed from the fact that he had supposedly voiced his support of the terrorist event during the immediate aftermath.
Matanov told others that he would consider it a "just cause" if the actions were committed in the name of Islam.
As the realization dawned on Matanov that his comments and connection to the brothers could lead the FBI to his doorstep, he began to change his tune.
He suddenly decided that the bombings were absolutely terrible. Federal authorities are also claiming he removed any and all images and references to the Tsarnaev brothers from his computer.
Investigators in the Boston Bombings probe said that Matanov asked an unnamed friend to destroy his phone when it was revealed that Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were the alleged bombers. That friend refused.
Matanov's lawyer Edward Hayden said that his client never meant to disrupt the bombing probe.
"From what I can see," said Hayden, "what [Matanov] said and did didn't impede the investigation."
The defense attorney described his client as "very frightened" and said that Matanov was "surprised" at being taken into custody.
Though 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed during a confrontation with police, his 20-year-old brother Dzhokhar survived. The accused terrorist bomber will face 30 federal charges in his upcoming trial.
His former associate faces comparably minor charges. Matanov may be hoping for some form of sympathy in this hairy matter.
However when one voices an opinion that a devastating bombing could be a "just cause", odds are that leniency will not be forthcoming.
Do you think Matanov was right or wrong to deny his connection to the accused bombers? Comment below!

Clueless Haven handed a hammering by league-leading Swinton Lions
Last updated at 13:26, Thursday, 28 July 2011
CLUELESS and Embarrassing! That's how Haven coach David Seeds summed up the huge defeat at title-chasing Swinton Lions at the weekend.
The home side took the lead after only 53 seconds when Haven knocked on from the kick-off and gifted the ball back to the Lions, and this saw Ian Mort stroll through a huge gap on the left to score the opening try.
Haven did have a bit of a purple patch and put some pressure on the Lions' line when firstly Spencer Miller broke through and fed Lewis Palfrey, who looked like he might score but he was stopped by a great tackle by Richard Flooks. And then Craig Benson had a chance on the left but knocked on near the line.
Benson had another chance on 11 minutes but could not bust the Lions' defence.
Scott McAvoy then made a clean break and looked to be a scorer but he was brought down short by Mort. It was, in fact, Mort who stretched the Lions advantage on 19 minutes when he finished off a four-man move to score by the posts and add the conversion, and six minutes later prop Dana Wilson crashed over in the corner and Mort again converted.
Carl Sice was put on report by referee Dave Merrick for an incident in a tackle with Phil Joseph and Mort landed the easy penalty.
It was a good half for Mort as he ended it by scoring his third try seven minutes from the break, having chipped Benson and winning the race for the touchdown which he again converted to give the Lions a big advantage at the break.
Haven started the second half on the back foot as the Lions went close to scoring again when Dale Cunniffe was denied. But Benson then put out a nice pass for Matthew Haggerty near the line but he lost the ball and the chance went.
It got even worse for Haven on 47 minutes when Rob Foxen intercepted a loose Haven pass and he raced away to score by the posts and Mort converted.
The Lions then ran in two more tries in a four-minute period midway through the half when Martin Ainscough scored off an Andy Gorski pass and then Joseph went over on the right but Mort missed both these conversions.
Sice looked as though he might score on 63 minutes but he was clattered ball and all by Danny Meekin inches short of the try line.
Wilson claimed his second try for the Lions with 11 minutes left when Gorski again was the provider and Mort converted, but Haven spent the last few minutes of the match trying to break the Lions' defence but without any effect.

Lions: Mort, Flooks, Dodd, Hurst, Foxen, Ainscough, Watson, Thompson, Smith, Holland, Cunniffe, Gorski, Joseph. Subs: Ashall, Wilson, D Hawkyard, Meekin.

The seven-layer vegetable mosaic on a heart sign, promoting food for healthy heart, was made by using 19,825 kg of vegetables. It took 10 hours to make the mosaic that comprised cabbage, brinjal, cauliflower, zucchini, carrot, cucumber, garlic, red capsicum and red chillies.
Jack Brockbank, Guinness World Records adjudicator, said, "It's always exciting to witness a successful attempt break a Guinness World Records title, especially when it's for a good cause. We are pleased to present APICON Ludhiana-2014 and Ranbaxy with the new title for the largest vegetable mosaic."

... like the outside of any old building, but once you entered you were presented with an amazing example of a 1000 year old theatre.
Our last stop on this tour was the Dunden waterfall - spectacular !
We finished the day with a evening stroll through the city, one street we stumbled upon was Umbrella street (as seen on the amazing race) ...
... sleep in we woke up to go to the Antalya museum which I was did not have as high expectations as Jen did (if that is even possible) but when I got there was impressed by the history of just this region. It traces human existence with artefacts from the Stone Age to the 19th century and everything in between. From almost prehistoric frescoes and bone spears, to Flint spears, the rise of pottery, the copper age, Romans ...

... dehydrated. Hour 5 and we were up in the mountains, sleet turning into snow flakes, and then almost completely white. Snow was bucketing down, covering all the trees and ground, almost like a fairytale... Until the silence was broken by another crying baby. We arrived in Antalya and checked in, seeing massive snow capped mountains rising from the beach. We had a craving for non-Turkish food and there was an Italian restaurant next door. ...
We stayed last night outside Antalya near to the airport. It's a district of big monstrosities of hotels each trying to outdo the other in gaudyness.

Global asset flows for exchange-traded products recorded the best January on record last month with USD40.2bn inflows.
Following a record-breaking year for global ETP flows in 2012 with USD262.7bn in net new assets, momentum continued in January. Investors favoured riskier assets as equities accounted for 94 per cent of flows.
Emerging markets were a dominant trend. EM equity ETPs gathered USD13.2bn in January, while EM bond ETPs drew solid flows of USD0.4bn amid improving fiscal conditions in many emerging markets. EM single country exposure ETFs also saw strong inflows of USD5.8bn with investors favouring China, South Korea and Mexico exposures.
Fixed income inflows moderated, with USD2.1bn for the month, as investors moved out of Treasuries and into other higher yielding areas of the fixed income universe. High yield ETPs were the one of best asset-gathering products with USD0.8bn of inflows.
"After crossing the milestone figure of USD2trn in total assets, the global ETP industry shows no signs of slowing down," says Dodd Kittsley, global head of ETP research at BlackRock. "The USD40.2bn in total net inflows this month was the strongest on record for the industry in January, surpassing the previous record last year of USD33.5bn. Investors have been encouraged by continued low interest rates, moderated concerns about Europe, an improved economic outlook in China, and acceptable earnings results from US corporations."

Our Mission
The mission of the Carolinas CARE Partnership is to foster and ensure a regional approach to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS, and to meet with compassion and dignity the needs of those affected by these diseases.
Our History and Now
The Carolinas CARE Partnership was established in 1990 as the Regional HIV/AIDS Consortium through a joint effort of the Foundation for the Carolinas and The United Way of Central Carolinas. We were initially the administrator of the federal Ryan White CARE Act and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) programs that provided essential care, treatment and housing services in 13-counties surrounding the Charlotte, N.C. metro area.
We have been the recipient of numerous other federal, state, local and private foundation funding that has allowed us to provide a vast array of HIV/AIDS services. These programs have included HIV/STD prevention, medical adherence, accessing care for substance abuse treatment, funding of housing initiatives, and an AmeriCorps program.
We changed our name to better reflect our continued efforts to join with other stakeholders in our fight against HIV/AIDS. We know the importance of collaboration and that we must all work in partnership to provide comprehensive and innovative services to address HIV/AIDS issues.
Presently, our programs include:
HIV/Prevention Interventions which target African American and Latino men and young men of color who have sex with men and young transgender persons of color.
HIV Counseling and Testing both at Substance Abuse Centers and in Non-Traditional Sites. Testing is free and confidential and no appointment is needed; and we due to the frequent co-infection of HIV and Syphilis, we perform syphilis tests along with our HIV tests. Please see our Events Calendar for information about our testing sites and times.
Housing and Supportive Services that includes: short-term assistance; residential substance abuse treatment; residential care; housing information services; tenant-based rental assistance and supportive services.
Training and Education through our Training Institute provides regular professional development training to providers from across the state. Topics of training range from clinical aspects of HIV to Advanced topics in Substance Abuse & Mental Health.

|See what Sue is reading....
A fellow staff member recommended this book to me. It is not something i would normally pick and was a nice surprise! I loved how the whole story took place in Philly with so many references that I recognized. It was fast paced and gritty, with characters that you actually cared about and wanted to see end up on the good side. Don't miss this page turner!
A recent pick for my book club, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my all time favorite books. I have read this at many stages of my life and find it amazing and lovely every time. It really makes you appreciate all that you have in relation to what it must have been like to grow up poor in Brooklyn at the turn of the century. A must read for the well read and for anyone that enjoys a coming of age story filled with family love and hard work despite all the odds.
When I recently lost my dog I was devastated and even though all my friends and family were more than supportive, I still couldn't seem to get over it. It was so nice to pick up this book and read that it way okay to feel this way. This book has so many words of wisdom that really do help you heal and find some acceptance at a time when you really feel like you never will. It is hard to say goodbye but hopefully this book can help put your pet in a special place in your heart.
I loved this book! Not only was it well written but the author was wonderful at weaving the story back and forth in time from London to California. It is the story of a marriage, a life before and after, a mistake and the consequences. I really enjoyed the characters and found myself empathizing with all of them individually. This will be a perfect read for the summer!
I had had my eye on this book for awhile and was so happy when someone picked it for book club last month. It is written in such an unusual style and is so clever that you cannot help but want to read on. Little by little a relationship is revealed, a marriage, a baby and a secret. It is something that many people go through but is told in such an insightful way and coming from the wife's point of view, so poignant.
When a Random House Rep gave a talk to the staff recently, he recommended this book and I was of course intrigued. Happily I took it on and found it to be a total page turner. This is the perfect little paperback to throw in your beach bag this summer and/or a trip to the lake (which in this case would be very appropriate). And like all good page turners, the ending is completely unexpected. You will just have to read on to find out why!
So, so, so beautiful!!!!!
I'm not usually drawn to short story collections but this one is amazing! Not only can Lauren Acampora write beautifully, she had me thinking about these stories long after I finished them. They have a slight dark side but don't let that stop you from enjoying every last word and every inch of creativity!
