NEW YORK — It can be a malicious rumor whispered in the hallway, a lewd photo arriving by cell phone, hands groping where they shouldn’t. Added up, it’s an epidemic – student-on-student sexual harassment that is pervasive in America’s middle schools and high schools.
During the 2010-11 school year, 48 percent of students in grades 7-12 experienced some form of sexual harassment in person or electronically via texting, email and social media, according to a major national survey being released Monday by the American Association of University Women.

ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said EU-candidate Turkey would freeze relations with the European Union if Cyprus is given the rotating EU presidency in 2012, state-run Anatolian news agency reported late on Saturday.
“If the peace negotiations there (Cyprus) are not conclusive, and the EU gives its rotating presidency to southern Cyprus, the real crisis will be between Turkey and the EU,” Anatolian quoted Atalay as telling Turkish Cypriot Bayrak Radio and TV at the end of a trip to the breakaway state of northern Cyprus.
“Because we will then freeze our relations with the EU. We have made this announcement, as a government we have made this decision,” the agency quoted Atalay as saying.

Summer movies and escapism have always gone together like popcorn and artificial butter substitute, but this year the dream factory seems to have short-circuited. Instead of serving up soothing respites from an all-too-real world where nobody can find a job and no one can agree on anything, Hollywood’s message seems to be: You think that’s bad? Let me tell you, brother, it could be a whole lot worse.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — An emotional, out-of-breath Michael Waltrip could barely choke out words of thanks after he made a dramatic last-lap pass to win the NASCAR Camping World Truck series 250-mile race Friday night at Daytona International Speedway.
Waltrip, who usually announces the truck races, swept past Elliott Sadler in a classic Daytona slingshot pass as the trucks sped into the tri-oval toward the checkered flag in a green-white-checkered, two-lap finish after a couple of big wrecks late in the race.
It came on the 10th anniversary of Waltrip’s greatest and worst day — his win in the 2001 Daytona 500 seconds after his car owner Dale Earnhardt’s fatal crash in turn four on the last lap.
“I’m just so thankful, Waltrip said Friday night, nearly breathless, with tears and sweat gleaming on his face in the glare of the television lights in victory lane. “I want to thank the fans, man. They keep us going. And they’ve just been so good to us. It’s just very emotional and I didn’t know I could push Elliott all the way around there. And I was able to do it.

Over at GQ.com, the illustrious Kevin Love has a blog entitled “Love Will Tear Us Apart”. That’s a reference to the mega-gloomy Manchester outfit whose genius lead singer Ian Curtis killed himself at the height of their powers. On the surface, nothing to do with basketball, right? Except Kevin Love himself really likes that title, which got us thinking: What if we picked a Joy Division song that represented each player in this year’s All-Star starting line-ups? Might we not learn something new about these players, this music, and ourselves? And most importantly, would we have so much fun that we would never, ever die, especially not by our own hand?
