Socialism, master race & government stupidity!!
The US is manipulating the process and here's how deceptive the US is in trying to apply this tactic. From the age of 24 to the age of 45 I was a serious amateur cyclist. At the age of 41 while attending Purdue University raced for the collegiate team, even placing in some races. Through out those years I was extremely competitive in those amateur races outside the collegiate level. I trained on 250-300 miles weekly, so, I was in shape with a body fat ratio of 10%. And up until the age of 35 or so was not considered obese UNTIL the government changed the formula for figuring a persons BMI, so, overnight I became a rather fit cyclist to an obese one. In 24 hrs. I was deemed fat by the new government obesity standards. At any moment the government can change the formula again which would place even more Americans into the obese column.
Today, I feel grateful, I just went out and bought a gallon of Cookie n cream ice cream & on the way home stopped at Burger King for 3 of their $1 dbl cheeseburgers!!! All before I lose the right to choose my daily diet!!!
(CNN report) Labeling our children obese has very dangerous repercussions socially!!!
Government interfering with our childs freedom of choice & the right of parents to parent their children!!!

CC baseball vs CC baseball from Burlington, WI.
Last year we played several top ranked 4A schools with convincing wins over Lafayette Jeff, Kokomo & McCutcheon. Most of our varsity baseball schedule includes 2A, 3A & 4A schools. Our only roadblock the past 2 years is 4A Indy Cathedral who beat us 6-0 in 2009 & 14-0 in 2010. Both years Cathedral put Dillon Peters on the mound, a top national recruit going to Texas for baseball. Nick pitched against him both years, relieving 5 1/3 innings in 2009 giving up 1 earned run in the 7th, entering in the 2nd inning with bases loaded, 2 outs & down 5-0, we lost 6-0. In 2010 Nick got the start, again facing Peters but this day turned out to be one of those days as Cathedral scored 6 runs off him in the 1st 2 innings, some unearned.
The past 2 years we have not had an answer for Cathedral. Cathedral was runner-up for the 4A state title last year in one of the most intense pitching duels I've ever seen, including our 2009 war with Cowan in the regional finals that had Taylor Glaze (our ace) against 1st round draft pic (Tampa Bay) Justin O'Conner. They battled to a 1-1 tie at the end of 7, a 2-2 end of 9 innings.
In the state final game (4A) both Peters and the opposing pitcher went 9 innings of scoreless baseball. 3 hits given up by Peters, 2 from the opposing pitcher from Carroll (not the one in Flora, IN). Carroll squeezed a run in in the top of the 10th, Cathedral couldn't score, a 1-0 thriller!!!
In receiving this information from Nick, he sounds excited already, long wait though!!!
Burlington Catholic Central wins Division 4 baseball title
By Todd RosiakGrand Chute - For the second time in three seasons, the Burlington Catholic Central Hilltoppers are state champions.
Propelled by a 13-hit attack and helped by seven Chippewa Falls McDonell errors, Catholic Central beat the Macks, 14-4, in five innings on Thursday morning at Fox Cities Stadium in the WIAA spring baseball Division 4 title game.
Third baseman Mackenzie Shepherd went 4 for 4 with 5 RBI for the Hilltoppers (21-10), who were knocked off by McDonell (22-5) in the semifinals at last year's state tournament.
Catholic Central broke the game open with five runs in each of the fourth and fifth innings.
Tyler Floyd struck out six to pick up the victory for the Hilltoppers, who also won the Division 4 title in 2008.

Jim Leyritz being rail roaded in trial!!!
Now don't get the attitude I'm supporting an athlete & his serious offense of driving while drunk causing a fatality which is what he's charged with. Here's where the problem starts. Leyritz was intoxicated, well over the legal limit. His victim, a female just so happened to have an extremely high BAC also. She also ran a red light causing the accident. Here's where Leyritz is getting railroaded. The judge absolutely refuses to allow into evidence the victims BAC!!! Nor will the judge allow into the evidence that she had actually run the red light. The judge also refuses to allow into evidence that would show the victim while running a red light was texting & speaking on her cell phone. It was also noted the victim was driving without headlights and speeding at the time.
In the long run, Leyritz should be held accountable for something in this. I disagree that it should be a DUI fatality as the victim ran the red light, was texting on her phone, and was intoxicated herself. Why the judge is not allowing this into evidence is beyond me nor do I understand on what grounds.
Another IPD officer criminally in trouble!!!
I'm sorry dude, you are a 16 year veteran of law enforcement, one of which puts tremendous amount of public trust in you, and you committed a very serious crime(s). Covering up your crime(s) while on duty & to this extent is a serious offense, you should clearly be fired!!!
By TheIndyChannel.comINDIANAPOLIS -- An Indianapolis police officer recommended for termination after an investigation into a hit-and-run crash with his patrol car said he doesn't deserve to be fired.Officer Matt Elam, 40, a 16-year police veteran, told 6News' Derrik Thomas exclusively Thursday that he was shocked to learn he may lose his job."I was very upset and surprised," he said. "I know other officers have been suspended for a period of time for things that they have done wrong."
Police said Elam was involved in a minor property damage hit-and-run crash in June and then tried to cover up the damage by taking his patrol car to a private repair shop.Chief Paul Ciesielski said on Wednesday that if Elam had stayed at the scene of the crash, he would have been suspended instead of recommended for firing.
Elam's attorney, Ralph Staples, said he believes the department is overreacting after recent controversies."The administration may be reacting harshly to situations that may not call for such harsh reaction because of public clamoring now because of situations that doesn't involve Matt," he said, referring to the public outcry in the case of Officer David Bisard, who is accused of hitting and killing a motorcyclist while on duty.
Elam has been a member of the department's SWAT team for the past 12 years.He was awarded two medals for valor, including one for his actions during a 1999 hostage situation where the hostage taker, Ricky Adams, was shot and killed by the SWAT team after he killed his hostage.Elam, who is currently suspended without pay, said he just wants to return to the job he loves."I enjoy helping people.
That's why I've always wanted to be on the street, and I didn't get a desk job," he said. "When people need help, I want to be the one to show up and help them."Police would not comment further on the case. It has been referred to the Marion County Prosecutor's Office for review.

Destroyed interrogation tapes!
No charges will be filed!!! (MSNBC article)
Bush is a liar!!!!!
I distinctly remember Bush saying on national television that he was supporting the sentencing of Libby, then he later commutes it. Another incident in which Bush and his administration acted above the law!! Bush also abused his power by forcing the investigation to stop, denying Plame an opportunity at a civil suit, again another abuse of power. This is called dictatorship people!!!
Joe Wilson reacts to Bush memoirs
Former U.S. Ambassador Joe Wilson blasted recent comments President George W. Bush made to NBC's Matt Lauer regarding the CIA leak case.
"The President, by the way, is wrong in saying he let the jury's verdict stand. He did not," the husband of outed agent Valerie Plame told The Last Word.
Bush re-hashed the past in his new book, Decision Points. Bush admitted his decision not to pardon former Cheney aide Scooter Libby caused some friction between the two towards the end of his term.
I chose to commute his sentence. I felt he had paid enough of a penalty," said Bush
Wilson still begs to differ. "Scooter Libby did not serve a day in jail. And by commuting his sentence, he removed from Scott Fitzgerald any remaining pressure that Fitzgerald had on Libby." Wilson continued, "The obstruction of justice prevented Pat Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor, from finding out the underlying truth in the betrayal of Valerie's identity."
Libby was convicted of lying to federal agents investigating the public outing of CIA operative Plame and the administration's vendetta against Wilson, an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq.
