Historic Tour of Flanders, BHRC round seven
2009-09-23 18:48:00 While several leading crews focussed on the battle for the overall title, Steven Smith and Phil Spurge had no such concerns and duly won round seven of the Dunlop/Gambia MSA British Historic Rally Championship, the Historic Tour of Flanders (11-13 September). The Porsche 911RS won category two, while Darren Moon and Chris Parsons had an impressive run in their Escort Mk2 to win category three. In category one, another victory for Dessie Nutt and Geraldine McBride (Porsche 911) sets up a championship cliff-hanger with David Stokes and Guy Weaver (Escort Mk1) for the final event of the season. Category 1 With championship scores uppermost in their minds, Nutt and McBride knew they had to be quick and safe, and that was the story of their rally. The Tuthill-tended Porsche 911 never missed a beat as they swept clear during a long tough Saturday leg in the lanes around Roeselare. In fact, the only real worry of the day was when one of Dessie's contact lenses slipped out of position ...
Wednesday News Round Up
2009-09-23 16:10:00 The Department of Housing and Urban Development is starting a huge public housing study, assessing the condition of the nation's public housing and what it would cost to bring all the units into good physical condition. Sorely overdue, leaders say. Atlanta is seeing a rise in crime. But the Atlanta Journal Constitution says it's not as bad as it once was, especially considering they've demolished all their public housing. Crime rates at those developments was once 37 times the national average. Still, the rise in city wide crime makes me wonder if they're undergoing what happened to Memphis. Mark Ishaug, head of the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, wrote a great editorial for the Trib on the connection between homelessness and...

Which comes first: poverty or spanking? Friday news round up
2009-09-18 22:10:00 Photo by Art by Heather on FlickrThe LA Times reviews a new Duke University study that tries to untangle spanking your kids from being poor. The study shows that poor children are way more likely to be spanked, but it also makes them more aggressive and slows their development. It sort of asks the question - are kids spanked because they are poor and then become poor because they were spanked?The study says parents often spank because they themselves are dealing with challenges - like being a young or single parent or living in poverty - and they also might reflect that poor parents are preparing their kids for a life full of these same challenges. The UN and the...

Fighting and fussing remains in fashion year-round in the NHL
2009-09-02 22:36:00 Fighting has not gone out of fashion in the NHL. To the contrary, there are nothing but clenched fists, bad blood and haymakers flying all around the place.Although it's still technically summer as Labor Day looms, nothing gets you more prepared for another NHL season than some reckless head-butting and unquenchable hatred.Some Canadian regions haven't been this close to firing on the U. S. since the war of 1812 when the British Empire was in charge and still smoking about that road loss to America in the Revolutionary War.Read the comment sections of fans about the NHL opposing a move to Hamilton, Ontario, and there are charges in Canada that the league is trying to keep hockey strictly in the...

Invisible government as Octopus: a famous quote round-up

Dan Inouye United States Senator for Hawaii "The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as 'international bankers.' This little coterie...run our government for their own selfish ends.

The Fair Housing Act prohibits organizations receiving HUD funds from "engaging in inherently religious activities."In Greensboro, officials have interpreted that to mean that residents can't use common areas for Bible study or a voluntary religious service.

Prison: the new public housing? Thursday news round up
2009-08-13 16:00:00 Photo by Tim Pearce The Poverty in America blog at change.org riffs off of Barbara Ehrenreich's NYT op-ed. There's 2.3 million Americans living in public housing. There's 2.3 million Americans living behind bars. We know that many people who end up in prison come from rough neighborhoods. And there's no shortage of people who like to blame crime on public housing residents. So is it much of a leap to say prison is a form of public housing? Most of the young people I meet have a friend or relative in prison and many expect to spend at least a night or two there themselves. Maybe the real question is: who is better off?Public housing banning policy tears families apart -...

Should guns be allowed in public housing? Friday news round up
2009-07-10 17:45:00 Photo by Svadilfari There were so many interesting things to share, I couldn't wait until Monday. House Panel Adopts Amendment Allowing Guns in Public Housing - According to the article, this amendment likely won't make it to the to the final version of the bill. Introduced by Georgia Republican Tom Price, it would bar any housing authority from banning or restricting legal gun ownership so that residents can protect themselves. To me, the thought of guns being allowed in a place so densely populated with children is insane. What do you think? Do residents have the right to protect themselves with firearms? Or should guns, legal or illegal, be kept out of government-owned housing?Chatham Residents Fight to Protect Legacy -...

A Look Beyond Round 1: MLB Draft Talk
2009-06-06 22:31:00 The MLB draft is quickly approaching, as there are only three full days left for teams and a scouts to finalize their respective draft boards and start putting their plans in motion. I talked a couple posts back about a few guys who very well could end up with the Giants at pick number 6, so in this post we were going to look beyond round one of the draft look at some guys outside of the consensus top-30.OF's Kent Matthes and Marc Krauss: These two are a couple of the biggest college power hitters in the draft and both are coming off of big seasons. Matthes, from Alabama, hit 28 bombs in 2009, to go along with 81 RBI and a .365 average in just 197 at-bats. He was widely thought to be the SEC's most dangerous hitter in '09. I know it's only college, but his HR ratio translates out to nearly a home run every 6 at-bats, which is ridiculously good no matter what level your at. Baseball America has Matthes ranked 63rd in the overall draft pool, so if he were still around when the Gia...

Susan Boyle, who electrified audiences around the Internet world with her audition on the UK show "Britain's Got Talent" won the first of five finals rounds today, featuring 40 contestants who made "the cut" on Saturday.

Our Weekly TV Twitter Round-Up
2009-05-24 17:04:00 As you may have ascertained from our recent (and we should add, constantly being updated) Ultimate Guide to TV on Twitter , this TV Addict has a tiny little problem: Our Twitter addiction is quietly giving our TV one a run for its money. Seriously. There is something oddly addictive (okay, and borderline stalkarazzi) about being able to plug directly into the minds of our favorite TV actors, showrunners, journalists, bloggers and readers alike. Which is why we’ve decided to add a new weekly feature to theTVaddict.com: This Week in TV Twitter. A compilation of our favorite fun, informative, sometimes pointless but always entertaining roundup of tweets from in and around the world of television. “Glee Music is perfect music for running. If you see me running in my neighborhood waving jazz hands in the air…just ignore me.” GREY’S ANATOMY creator Shonda Rhimes (@shondarhimes) makes us feel better about our very own GLEE obsession. “Next season on T...
