Va. lawmakers revive eugenics compensation bill

Posted on by

Advocates for people who were sterilized in Virginia under the misguided science of eugenics are seeking compensation for surviving victims in the upcoming session of the General Assembly, with more support than last year when legislators quashed their first attempt.

More than 8,000 Virginia residents lost the ability to have children, and at least half of those surgeries on women and men were performed in Madison Heights at what's now the Central Virginia Training Center.

Penguins walk on Boulders Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, in this June 2007 file photo.

With amazing food, glorious public spaces, and unparalleled museums, theme parks, and beaches, the only thing budget about these world-class vacation spots is the price tag.

Conditions are perfect for visiting these near- and far-flung, culture-rich locales: Price-wise, 2014 is their year. Dipping hotel rates, new attractions, and some perennially affordable sights and eats make these 10 cities ideal to consider for your travel itinerary this year.

South Africa The country that Nelson Mandela changed forever will change you, too.

Why in 2014: Take your pick of locales to visit in South Africa this year: Hotel rates are down 8 percent across the country. Put wildlife at the top of your agenda, whether you're looking to see the big five on a safari or just want to hang out with the free-roaming penguins on Boulders Beach in Cape Town (careful, they bite). For a less risk-fraught animal excursion, Kruger National Park is one of the best on the continent. For an entrance fee of about $20, you can take in the South African landscape and keep your eyes peeled for both the big five and the little five (buffalo weaver, elephant shrew, leopard tortoise, ant lion, and rhino beetle). Beach lovers will flip for Cape Town's beaches, at the intersection of the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Go Atlantic (the western side) for sunbathing and watercolor sunsets; hit the Indian (the eastern side) for swimming and surfing. Many of the eastern beaches have lifeguards. Soweto township in Johannesburg offers numerous opportunities to absorb the city's prominent history, such as the Nelson Mandela Museum and the Apartheid Museum. When you're hungry, visit the restaurants on Vilikazi Street; the indigenous local food menus include tripe, morogo (boiled wild spinach), and ting ting (sour porridge).

South Africa Seeks Air Support as Cocaine Washes Up on Beaches

Posted on by

The South African Police Service is increasing its presence along the southern Capes coast line, an area known for its beaches and great white sharks, after almost $10 million of cocaine washed ashore.

We are increasing visibility by means of our deployment on sea, as well as on land, and we are trying to get air support as well, either by helicopter or airplane, to patrol the seas, police spokesman Malcolm Pojie said by phone from the town of Knysna today.

Four batches of cocaine bricks, weighing about 100 kilograms (220 pounds) in total, have been found on beaches or just offshore since Dec. 25 near Mossel Bay in an area about 343 kilometers (213 miles) east of Cape Town where thousands of South Africans are spending the summer holidays, Pojie said. The latest find was on the beach between Klein Brak River and Hartenbos on New Years Day.

If the results are positive that this is pure cocaine, it could have an estimated value of about 100 million rand, or about $10 million, Pojie said.

Each batch of about 25 cocaine bricks was sealed in a black bag and attached to a blue drum, which helped it to float, Pojie said. While the origin of the drugs is not clear, its possible that a passing ship dropped the cocaine in the sea for someone to pick up, he said.

The finds were sent to our laboratory in Cape Town to be analyzed and tested and that can of course assist us to determine the origin of the drugs, Pojie said.

South Africa: Increased Police Numbers at ‘Cocaine’ Beaches

Posted on by

Johannesburg There will be an increased police presence at Mossel Bay beaches where drums containing cocaine have washed ashore, police said on Friday.

"Police helicopters... will observe the area," said spokesman Captain Malcolm Pojie.

There would be regular patrols at ports of entry as well as police patrolling along the shoreline and in the water.

Four batches of cocaine, with an estimated street value of about R68 million, have been found in packets and in brick shapes contained within drums floating off Mossel Bay beaches since Christmas.

On Friday, Pojie said tests -- expected to determine exactly what substances were in the bricks and whether the cocaine had been "cut" or processed, or was still in its pure or raw form -- had not yet been completed.

The origin of the drums was not known but they could have been dropped off a ship, said Pojie.

"It is one of the possibilities."

The latest haul -- a blue drum containing a black bag with 25 cocaine bricks -- washed ashore between Hartenbos and Klein Brak River on Wednesday afternoon.

A similar drum of cocaine bricks was found on Tuesday off Rheebok Beach.

Last Saturday, a drum was found near Pinnacle Point and on Christmas Day 25 packets of cocaine were found floating in a drum at Hartenbos Beach.

Bethenny Frankel Hits the Beach in Bikini With Shirtless Hunk: Find Out Who He Is!

Posted on by

Bikini babe, Bethenny Frankel! The talk show host hit the sandy beaches of Miami on Wednesday, Jan. 1, with a ripped, shirtless man whom Us Weekly can identify as Michael Cerussi III(who goes by "Mac" for short).

PHOTOS: Hollywood's ugliest divorces

Frankel, 43, waded in the crystal clear waters of the Atlantic wearing a printed black and white string bikini, showing off her flat stomach and skinny girl physique. "Finally a nice beach day in Miami. Jumping into the ocean to plunge info the new year," the Real Housewives alum shared via Twitter, as she frolicked with her hunky new man.

PHOTOS: Bethenny's 15-minute yoga workout

"Bethenny is dating," a source close to the TV personality tells Us. Another insider reveals she brought Cerussi to Miami for New Year's Eve, where they stayed at the Delano Hotel. "They've been all over each other since they got here," the source tells Us.

Frankel is currently in the midst of an ongoing, year-long divorce battle from husband Jason Hoppy. The entrepreneur filed for divorce in January 2012, which subsequently led Hoppy, 41, to file his own papers requesting primary custody of the couple's 3-year-old daughter, Bryn. They still live in their Tribeca loft.

PHOTOS: Better after breakup!

"Divorces are like ice cream, there are a lot of different flavors. Some can be very amicable, and some can be very peaceful and easy, and some can be really brutal," she told Us back in November. "I honestly did not have any idea how difficult in the very least it can be."

She added in the same interview that she was not ready to date, although it seems she underwent a recent change of heart. "It's like having food poisoning and not wanting to eat again," she told Us. "In theory it sounds somewhat appetizing, but in reality it just doesn't seem all that interesting to me."

Beaches escape lightly as king tides hit

King tides have caused few problems on the region's beaches and foreshores for councils.

King tides have caused few problems on the region's beaches and foreshores for councils.

At Lake Illawarra, water flowed out of drains and partially across Reddall Parade, but Shellharbour City Council said there were no incidents that posed a problem to infrastructure, with little rain and swell coming with the king tide.

Wollongong City Council received no reports of any flooding or stormwater issues following the king tides.

"Our pipe network is fitted with flaps which have been specifically designed to stop backflow in the event of such occurrences," a Wollongong council spokeswoman said.

"However, Thirroul pool had to close briefly for the past two afternoons."

With a king tide's lower-than-usual low tide, clean water cannot be pumped into the pool. Port Kembla pool could face the same problem but has remained open.

"Council is continuing to monitor conditions at both pools, and will close them if and as required," the spokeswoman said.

Astronomy group’s ambitious plans for observatory in upper Teesdale

Astronomy group's ambitious plans for observatory in upper Teesdale

12:00am Friday 3rd January 2014 in News By Stuart Laundy, Reporter (Barnard Castle & Teesdale)

A GROUP of amateur astronomers are hoping to establish an observatory in rural County Durham so they can watch the sky at night.

Bishop Auckland Astronomical Society officials want to base the group in upper Teesdale.

They say remote parts of the dale offer some of the darkest skies in the region, creating the perfect conditions for stargazing.

The society was launched almost three years ago and has grown to more than 30 members.

Co-founder Duane Cox said the group currently met at Bishop Auckland Fire Station, with outdoor observations taking place at Grassholme Reservoir, in Teesdale.

We are looking for funding and we've got one or two sites in mind up in Teesdale, he said.

He said the next step would be to contact landowners to gauge support for the idea while efforts to secure cash were ongoing.

Mr Cox admitted that attracting funding would be difficult, as astronomy was not considered as popular and mainstream a pastime as other activities.
