Two stabbed in city stabbing

A man has been arrested over a stabbing in the CBD.

F (my wife) and K (my son) were driving through the city of Adelaide followed by police cars and ambulances attending this incident.
I can't believe how many stabbings there have been in recent years. Yes, some of it is about new arrivals bringing old dispute solutions to our relative peaceful country, but it does freak me out more than somewhat.
It also bothers me that it may be an easy grab for racists and anti-immigration lobbyists.

Armstrong cleared for Tour Down Under

I thought this had all been settled, but apparently not. The argument is that doping testing has progressed so well that a month or two here or there doesn't matter, blah, blah, blah, and Lance will be strongly monitored blah, blah, blah. I'm glad he's coming here though.

It was clouded in doubt as the veteran was told that he had to respect the UCI's "biological passport" rule demanding that athletes must be registered with an anti-doping programme six months prior to competing.

I have to say I love quoting The Peoples Daily.

Man's house blows up, companies responsible won't help

Ian Silvestein's house was destroyed three years when the Buncefield Depot in England blew up. The companies that operated the depot -- Total and Chevron -- won't help him.

Literally, nothing has been done to help him with his situation [~] or anybody for that matter. The local authorities have failed him, the governments have failed him, insurance has failed him, and the companies that operated the facilities [~] Total and Chevron [~] have ducked blame entirely. The massive companies made more than £18 billion in cash last year, but can[base ']t help a few people out when a leak in their tanks caused massive and catastrophic damage to dozens of people[base ']s lives.

Man's house blows up, companies responsible won't help (Thanks, Jake!)
