Iran's Khamenei says U.S. and Israel seek to divide Muslims

DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's most powerful authority, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Thursday accused the United States and Israel of fomenting divisions among Muslims to undermine "Islamic uprisings" across the Middle East.

"By exploiting inattention ... corrupt American, NATO and Zionist agents are trying to divert the deluge-like movement of Muslim youth and bring them into confrontation with one another in the name of Islam," he said in an annual message to Iranians who have gone to Saudi Arabia for the haj pilgrimage.

"They are trying to turn the jihad against colonialism and Zionism into blind terrorism in the streets ... so that Muslims shed each other's blood."

Officials in Shi'ite Muslim Iran often describe the "Arab Spring" uprisings as an "Islamic Awakening".

Some of those uprisings have brought Islamists to power, while others, notably in Syria and Bahrain, have pitted Sunnis against Shi'ites or Alawites, members of an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam.

Iran has aligned itself with its regional ally Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Lebanon's Shi'ite Hezbollah movement in what it calls an "axis of resistance" against Israel. At the same time it denies accusations from Sunni-ruled Gulf monarchies that it is encouraging Shi'ite uprisings in their countries.

"The aggressive and interventionist arrogant powers are making every effort to divert the course of these significant Islamic movements," Khamenei said, according to Iranian state television, urging Muslims to show solidarity.

He reiterated Iran's opposition to outside intervention in Syria, saying only Syrians could decide their own future, and said other unspecified nations could also be engulfed by Syria's turmoil.

On Wednesday, international mediator Lakhdar Brahimi said both the Syrian government and most opposition groups had agreed to the principle of a ceasefire during the three-day Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, which starts on Friday.

Feds investigate phony letters warning Florida voters they're not eligible to vote

Florida voters receive letters saying their citizenship is being challenged, along with their eligibility to vote. WBBH's Dave Elias reports.

By Michael IsikoffNBC News

The FBI and U.S. Postal Service agents are investigating bogus official-looking letters sent to voters in at least 28 Florida counties questioning their citizenship and their eligibility to vote, ?NBC News has learned.

David Couvertier, a spokesman for the FBI in Tampa, said his office opened up an investigation into the possible attempt at voter intimidation on Wednesday after receiving reports that eligible voters throughout the state have received the letters.?

"We're taking it as a serious situation," he said. "We're looking at everything from civil rights violations to election fraud -- to everything in between."

Chris Cate, a spokesman for the Florida Secretary of State's Office, told NBC News, "We believe these? letters appear to meet the standard of voter intimidation." Between 50 and 100 such letters have been reported to state officials so far, "and those are only the ones we know about. We're encouraging people to come forward."

The fake letters, which first started showing up last Friday, have been sent under the names of real Florida county election supervisors -- with some correct contact information -- informing the voters that the supervisors have received "information" about their citizenship status, "bringing into doubt your eligibility as a registered voter."

The letters also say the voter must fill out a Voter Eligibility Form in the next 15 days -- and failure to do so will result "in the removal of your name from the voter registration rolls and you will no longer be eligible to vote."

"A non-registered voter who casts a vote in the state of Florida may be subject to arrest, imprisonment, and/or other criminal sanctions," the letters state.

In the key battleground state of Florida, divergent opinions separate voters with just over two weeks until the election.

Some of the letters have been received by "longtime, staunch voters who have been exercising their right to vote" for years, Couvertier said. While those people are likely to vote anyway, "Our concern is someone who might not be secure and then questions whether they should vote."

It's not clear who sent the letters, which were machine postmarked in Seattle. Couvertier said the FBI in Tampa is working with its Seattle office to track down the perpetrator.

Cate said a "significant majority have gone to Republican voters, but not exclusively. We've got Democrats who received the letters, we've got independents. We're telling everybody to be on the lookout."

2011 Mt. Olympia Michael Kefalianos | Bodybuilding, Supplements ...

---

Michael Kefalianos? 2012 competitive season success has been anything short of amazing. After competing 7 times in 2011 (breaking his own record of 6 competitions in 2012), Michael started this year?s season by receiving the honor of getting invited to the 2012 Arnold Classic. The season only got better from there, with a 2nd place finish to Branch Warren at Tony Doherty?s Australian Grand Prix XII in Melbourne and a 2nd place finish at the 2012 FIBO Power Pro in Germany. The vindication that Mike was looking for (after competing in 18 shows in 3 the three short he has been a pro) came at the 2012 Mr. Europe Pro where he won his first professional competition.

With vindication and a pro win also came relief and the time for much needed rest. With a nagging lower back injury that almost put a halt to his plans, Mike took some time off between April and June to regroup and spend time with family and friends. In early June, well rested and pain-free, he began his 16-week Olympia prep with bigger goals than ever. In the following interview, you will have the first ever inside scoop on Mike?s contest prep. He talks about every aspect of his plans, from nutrition & training, to the great lifestyle of the islands in Greece which as he says also come with a few hardships. When the road gets tough, Mike looks to bodybuilding and most importantly his big support mechanism, his family & close friends, to help and inspire him to move forward. We would like to thank Mike for his time and wish him all the best for his Olympia prep and the road ahead. Stay tuned to our website for regular updates on Mike?s training & news with workout videos and exclusive interviews.

Anne Grubbs Retires

A well known fixture in the Bowling Green education scene had a retirement party in her honor today.

Anne Grubbs is stepping down after just more than 15 years of service with community education.

In her time there she says she's seen a lot of changes, and a lot of programs grow and today was a celebration of all her work.

"I tried to go out the back door, but they wouldn't let me," laughed Grubbs.

"No, it's an honor. It's very humbling to have your staff to put something together like this for you. It makes you feel blessed," said Grubbs.

Grubbs officially retires on the 31st.

She said in retirement, she plans to spend a lot of time with her family and get back into one of her biggest hobbies, arts and crafts.
