It's impossible to understand why people do such stupid things. That's why trying to determine the motives of Nadya Suleman, "Miracle Mom," is not worth the mental gymnastics necessary to conjure some excuse. This single mother of new octuplets, who already had six children being raised by a grandmother, is just a twisted example of what goes on with too many people these days. They pump out children while taxpayers foot the bill. ...more

PORT ORANGE – High school girls weightlifting is unique to Florida, and nobody does it better than the Spruce Creek Lady Hawks. They come in all shapes and sizes, some as slight as 98 pounds and some who lift in the 199-pound and unlimited classes, and they're part of a powerhouse that dominates the sport. The Lady Hawks have won the state tournament all four times it has been held, and try for their fifth title on Saturday. Only Florida offers girls' competitive weightlifting, with about 3,800 participants at more than 150 schools, and it is becoming "kind of a recruiting ground" for national teams, said coach Richard Lansky of USA Weightlifting. ...more
