			"I could shoot myself." That's what Winthrop coach Randy Peele said last week about his failure to seriously recruit Seth Curry out of high school. Peele should put away the rhetorical gun. A lot of sheepish college basketball coaches are feeling the same way about the Curry brothers, Davidson superstar Stephen and Liberty freshman Seth. Despite superior basketball bloodlines from father Dell Curry, a former NBA standout, both brothers were passed over by major programs only to wind up as mid-major stars.
		Smelley leaving Gamecocks COLUMBIA â€" On the same day South Carolina netted a quarterbacks coach, it lost a quarterback. Redshirt sophomore Chris Smelley announced Friday afternoon through the school that he intends to transfer with the intention of playing baseball at another school. "It's been a difficult decision, something I've been thinking and praying about for a while," Smelley said via a release. What kind of show can fans anticipate? COLUMBIA â€" Realistically, how could you know what to expect tonight inside the Colonial Life Arena? No, not the basketball game. Auburn and South Carolina will likely play a tight one, settled in the final minutes, in the teams' SEC openers. But what about the environment? It was a hot-button subject in Dave Odom's time here, and especially as that tenure wound down. Cougars guard against 'letdown' Although it may seem a bit bizarre to talk about a basketball team having a "letdown" after consecutive losses, that may be a concern for College of Charleston coach Bobby Cremins. Charleston enters today's 4 p.m. Southern Conference game against Georgia Southern at Carolina First Arena coming off losses to Davidson and North Carolina, and after getting ramped up to play against two of the nation's elite teams can the Cougars muster the necessary effort to beat the Eagles? Cardinals-Panthers offenses ready to take off CHARLOTTE â€" They take up three of the four receiver spots on the NFC Pro Bowl squad. Another is having a breakout year and a fifth is one of the league's top blockers at the position. Today's NFC Divisional playoff between the Carolina Panthers (12-4) and Arizona Cardinals (10-7) overflows with talent, speed, diversity and strength at receiver.

			Ashley Furniture Homestore in North Charleston has closed its doors, saying it expects to come under new ownership. The 50,000-square-foot outlet shut down on Dec. 31, affecting about 15 workers. The store, a major anchor at The Shoppes at Centre Pointe shopping center, is at 4950 Centre Pointe Drive across from the Tanger Outlet Center.
		A pioneering venture in PR Local public-relations firm owner Colleen Troy made it out of 2008 with increased sales and an awareness that her success was unique. Friends who worked in the industry in Charleston and others who moved for jobs in bigger cities called her with the same devastating news: Despite years of experience, they were out of work. Cleaning her home over Thanksgiving, she thought about how she had been there, collecting unemployment checks and all the insecurities they can bring. '09 to be a good year for renters NEW YORK â€" The balance of power between landlords and tenants will shift dramatically in 2009. For landlords, this promises to be a year of intense competition, more bankrupt tenants, and tightfisted lenders. For renters, it looks like a time of abundant choices and tiny â€" if any â€" price increases. Hard-hit states all share causes Unlike the last recession, today's unemployment hot spots are all over the map. The five states with the highest unemployment rates â€" Michigan, Rhode Island, South Carolina, California and Oregon â€" all have something in common, though: a heightened exposure to the root causes of this downward spiral. BMW sales slip, but were 2nd-best ever GREENVILLE â€" BMW Group's 2008 global sales were down 4.3 percent from the previous year's record, not an unexpected outcome in the wake of the worldwide crisis in the automotive industry, according to the company. Sales for December again showed the result of customers holding back from buying, BMW said, with a drop of 26.4 percent from December 2007.

Not For Sale: Help End Human Trafficking

Tell a Friend About GX Go on a Reality Tour
Reality Tours eNewsletter	CONTRIBUTE TO GLOBAL EXCHANGE
Dear Friends, Global Exchange Reality Tours have helped thousands connect firsthand with other peoples and cultures, and to return home with a deeper understanding, a sense of empowerment, and the tools to affect change. We would like to share with you some examples of upcoming delegations, and enthusiastically invite you to join us in the powerful and transformative experiences of GX Reality Tours. As we enter into a new year, we at Global Exchange Reality Tours would like to share with you some information about a series of very important advocacy delegations centered on issues of human trafficking and modern slavery. In partnership with the Not for Sale Campaign, Global Exchange is organizing trips to Cambodia, Thailand, Peru and Uganda to educate and mobilize an international abolitionist movement. As we, the people, strive for the creation of a more just and equitable globalisation, the existence of a booming international trade in human life can no longer be tolerated or ignored. Please help us shed light on this global issue by reading this newsletter and by spreading the word about these important educational delegations. You can also find information on actions you can take today to help end human trafficking by visiting Not for Sale. To contact Reality Tours directly about these delegations or to learn more about actions against human trafficking, please contact Alessandro Isola (alessandro@globalexchange.org). In this newsletter you will find: An introduction to upcoming Reality Tours / Not for Sale delegations focused on human trafficking Delegation Dates & Information A word from Mark Horner, GA state director of Not for Sale Reality Tours Firsthand: Angel Daniels, Cambodia participant 2008    ****    Reality Tours & Not for Sale Present: Advocacy Delegations on Human Trafficking 2009 Accurate statistics are difficult to compile, but it is believed that between 600,000 and 800,000 human beings are trafficked across international borders each year, 80% of them women and children. It is estimated that approximately $9 billion dollars in profits are generated annually through slavery and trafficking, placing human trafficking among the three most profitable criminal enterprises along with drugs and arms trades. Many people think of slavery as a heinous practice long abandoned by humanity, but today there are roughly 27 million human slaves in bondage, many in the United States itself. 1.2 million children are trafficked each year for the purposes of forced labor, and it is estimated that 1.8 million children are working today in the global sex industry. The numbers are staggering, and the act of confronting them and the shattered lives they represent can be an overwhelming prospect. Yet we are not powerless in the face of this monstrous industry, and the first step towards bringing it to a halt is education. In partnership with the Not for Sale Campaign against human trafficking, Global Exchange Reality Tours is facilitating a series of delegations geared specifically to confronting the realities of the trade. Focusing on 'hot spots' within the world of human trafficking such as Cambodia, Thailand, Peru and Uganda, delegates will receive a comprehensive education in the mechanics of human trafficking, as well an understanding of its underlying causes. Participants will meet with those who have been freed from slavery and learn what it means to rebuild one's life after having been a victim of trafficking, and will also engage directly with groups and individuals on the frontlines of the struggle to expose and ultimately end the trade in human lives. Guides for these delegations will be local experts in the field, equipped with first hand experience with the struggle to end human trafficking and with connections necessary to provide participants with a closeup view of the face of this industry. In Peru, for example, delegates will be guided by Lucy Borja, who has worked for more than two decades to rescue trafficked children from the streets and black markets of Lima. Each delegation in human trafficking will visit vulnerable communities targeted by traffickers, learn effective strategies for undermining slave rings, and experience first hand how emancipated slaves rebuild their lives. Upon return, Not for Sale will integrate the insights of the trip directly into an understanding of the nature of human trafficking in the United States and the meaning of working globally on backyard abolitionist activities. To learn more about these special delegations, please contact Alessandro Isola, program coordinator for Reality Tours delegations on human trafficking.   ****    Delegation Dates and Information Thailand: Advocacy Delegation on Human Trafficking April 03, 2009 - April 13, 2009 Uganda: Human Trafficking in Africa and Rehabilitation of Sex-Trafficked Children and Coerced Child-Soldiers July 02, 2009 - July 12, 2009 Cambodia: Human Trafficking Immersion and Study Tour August 12, 2009 - August 22, 2009 Peru: Advocacy Delegation on Human Trafficking Dates To Be Announced    ****   The Importance of the Abolitionist Movement By Mark Horner, GA State Director of Not for Sale When I was a young boy growing up in Georgia, my backyard was the rest of the world. Now that I am older, my backyard is the rest of the world. In our fight against human trafficking, Not for Sale members have traveled the world with Global Exchange to immerse ourselves not just in trying to understand the pathways of global slavery, but to understand the rich culture we find in the countries we visit. This is vitally important to our international mission because it helps our members look beyond their own backyard at the global factors that influence our lives. The perspective gained by travelers on these trips is life-changing and unforgettable. I'll never forget standing in a decaying trash dump in Cambodia watching adults and children sift through the massive garbage piles seeking anything that could possibly help them buy their next meal. It reminded me that the only difference between these people and me was that I had been born in a different country. That moment solidified my sense of global justice and how communities like this must be given better chances to rise up and create a better life. Action starts with learning the truth firsthand about challenges in the global context and meeting them head-on so that one day, people like those in the dump can have a real backyard.   ****   Reality Tours Firsthand: Angel Daniels Participant on Cambodia Delegation 2008 Many people ask me how I got so interested in the issues of human trafficking and exploitation. The impression that I get is that they are waiting to hear that I have some personal connection it...that  I've known someone who was a victim or was rescued from the slave-trade. It is actually a lot simpler and blander than that--I heard about it. And once I found out that human slavery and sexual exploitation is not only still in existence, but is the second most profitable illegal industry in the world, how could I not get interested? How can anyone not get angry, fired-up, and impassioned when they hear that 27 million people live in slavery today, 2 million of them children held as sex slaves, and that a lot of it is happening in our own country!? This summer, I took action in the only way that I knew how: learning and sharing. I decided to learn about the reality of human trafficking first-hand, and I did it with the purpose of applying it to my career and understanding of psychology. In July, I traveled to Cambodia with an anti-human trafficking organization called the Not For Sale Campaign. Cambodia has one of the highest rates of human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and child sex slavery worldwide, so it was a prime place to see for myself what was happening. And I did. I saw more than I ever wanted to. I saw brothels where girls were forced to sit on bleachers with numbers pinned to their chests so that men could order them by number. I played with children whose parents had sold them at the age of 3 and 4 into sex slavery. I sang songs with a house full of adolescents who were struggling to see themselves as anything more than a used-up product. I saw the darkest side of humanity while watching American men walk into child brothels, and I saw the lightest side while spending time with the people who work tirelessly to help these children and women recover. The point is that I know what's happening out there, and I'm telling people. And now you can tell people. And we can send the message that it is not ok with us. If you can do nothing else, just educate yourself on other people's realities. The world is getting a little bit lighter already.   **** Thank you as always for your care and support!

Prosegue il suo percorso la mostra fotografica itinerante di Emergency "Sudan. Diritto al cuore". Tocca a Milano che la ospita fino al 21 gennaio 2009 a Palazzo Giureconsulti in piazza Mercanti 2 nella sala delle Esposizioni. La mostra, che ha ricevuto il patrocinio del ministero degli Affari Esteri, si compone di cinquanta suggestive immagini a colori di Marcello Bonfanti, fotografo milanese che ha interpretato con occhio sensibile l'impegno umanitario di Emergency in Sudan, riuscendo a raccontarne con intensità le emozioni, i momenti, le persone, gli spazi creati. Gli scatti di Marcello Bonfanti accompagnano il visitatore in un lungo viaggio alla scoperta della vita quotidiana nel campo profughi di Mayo, nei sobborghi di Khartoum, dove circa 300 mila persone vivono in condizioni al limite dell'umano. Qui Emergency ha aperto un ambulatorio che offre assistenza pediatrica gratuita. Particolare attenzione è dedicata al Centro Salam di cardiochirurgia di Khartoum. Il Centro Salam offre assistenza sanitaria altamente specializzata e gratuita per bambini e adulti affetti da patologie cardiache e malformazioni congenite del Sudan e dei paesi confinanti.

U.S. Unveils Massive Embassy | What Iraq and Gaza Have in Common | Iraq War Now (Even More) Illegal

War on Iraq Newsletter January 9th, 2009 More from War on Iraq »

The Iraq War Is Now Illegal By Bruce Ackerman, Oona Hathaway, The Daily Beast Ongoing combat in Iraq is illegal under US law. As of January 1, Congress' authorization of the war expired. Read more »   When Barack Obama's transition team announced it would be soliciting questions from citizens for the President-Elect via the Change.gov website, its members may not have expected these results: Ari Melber writes: A whopping 70,000 questions poured into Change.gov over the past week, in response to the Obama transition team's call for citizen queries to the President-Elect. After votes from about 100,000 people, the top ranked question asks Obama whether he will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate allegations of torture and illegal surveillance by the U.S. government. Melber, along with Bob Fertik of Democrats.com and numerous others, have been pushing the question of accountability at a time when Obama's spokespersons have already made it clear that the new Obama administration will not make it a priority to engage in anything that could be misconstrued as a "partisan witch hunt" -- even if it means bringing those people responsible for the torture policies of the Bush administration in the so-called "War on Terror" to justice. To join the grassroots revolt, go here. *** The financial crisis we face today is as complex as it is painful, and there's an enormous amount of information, analysis and opinion emerging every day about what's happening and what should be done about it.
