Hi Hater: Federal Appeals Court Removes Olympic Gold Medalist Carl Lewis From NJ State Senate Ballot…

No more “running” for Carl Lewis A federal appeals panel took nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis off a New Jersey state Senate ballot yesterday, finding he does not meet the state’s four-year residency requirement after all. The ruling came nine days after the same three-judge panel from the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals said Lewis should be on the ballot. The issue, which turned out more complex than it seemed, was whether Lewis would satisfy a requirement that state senators live in the state four years before they take office. Lewis, 50, grew up in Willingboro, NJ, went to college in Texas and settled in California. In 1984, he won four gold medals in track and field at the Olympic in LA. He would add five more Olympic golds over the next 12 years. He bought homes in New Jersey in 2005 and 2007 and began working as a volunteer track coach at Willingboro HS. But he continued to pay taxes in California. Lewis and supporters blast what the say was a politically motivated move. In 1984, he won four gold medals in track and field at the Olympic in LA.

Do what you have to do to make it right and run when you’re eligible. Source

Making It Rain On Them Hoes: Kenyan Women Take First, Second And Third Place In World Championship 10000 Meter Race

Who run this mutha? Kenyan girls! Let’s make that women actually. Superior team tactics paid off in the women’s 10,000m at the world championships on Saturday with Vivian Cheruiyot leading Kenya to a podium clean sweep after a finely timed race. Cheruiyot, the reigning world 5000m champion, finished the 25-lap race in 30min 48.98sec ahead of compatriots Sally Kipyego (30:50.04) and 2009 champion Linet Masai (30:53.59). It crowned a remarkable opening day at the worlds for Kenya’s female runners, their marathon team having earlier snagged all three medals on the streets of Daegu. American Shalane Flanagan made the early running, the Olympic bronze medallist stringing out the pack over the opening nine laps. But Masai took the lead with 16 laps remaining, team Kenya smoothly moving up the field to the front as Priscah Cherono and Cheruiyot followed. The Ethiopian trio of Meseret Defar, Tigist Kiros and Meselech Melkamu kept on the heels of their east African rivals, the former having ambitiously announced that she had the 5000-10,000m double on her mind. But then in what looked liked an orchestrated team move, Kipyego accelerated to take the lead with 11 laps to run and upped the pace immediately. The prompt result was that the pack was cut to the four Kenyans, Melkamu, Defar, Flanagan and the Ethiopian-born Bahraini runner Shitaye Eshete. The American and Eshete soon fell off the pace, leaving a battle royale over the final seven laps between the cream of Ethiopian and Kenyan distance runners. But a shock was to come, the 27-year-old Defar, Olympic gold medallist in 2004 at 5000m and world champion over the same distance in 2007, also fell out of the running. The four-time world indoor 3000m champion then slowed to a halt and walked off the track, hands on hips and head hanging low, with four laps remaining. Cheruiyot took the lead as the bell rang for the final 400m, ahead of Kipyego and Masai in third. It seemed as if she might have bolted too early, with Kipyego on her heels as they came around the final bend, but Cheruiyot held on for joyous scenes with her Kenyan teammates. The victory also opens up the tempting prospect of a 5000-10,000m double for the 27-year-old, the shorter distance being her preferred race. Congratulations to these ladies for their big win. Source

Container Cafe is a View Tube on the Olympic Site

Images by B. Alter Called the View Tube, this stunning cafe is made out of lime green recycled shipping containers. Perched on a hill overlooking the site of the London 2012 Olympics, it is a cafe, a look-out and a gallery space. It is also much more: a social enterprise, serving as a focal point for the arts, environmental classes, local artists as well as an education centre for the community….

Naomi Campbell’s Russian Billionaire Pussy in a Bikini of the Day

I know seeing a crazy old black beast of model in her bikini unless she is throwing her feces at the paparazzi…but I have limited options and I feel that if I don’t give her a little attention, despite not really being my ideal type of pussy, that the Russian mafia will be knocking at my door demanding I do…not because I am significant, but because I am paranoid and know that any Russian billionaire is someone who is seriously corrupt and connected, who dates models cuz it is status, you see it was only a few years ago that they were all in work uniforms practicing gymnastics and other olympic sports in work camps when they weren’t waiting in line for rationed breads….before buying a Russian bride was made easy…but this isnt a history lesson, if anything, it’s a zoology lesson….you’re racist for thinking that was racist….and here she is in a bikini….
