UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS, Ohio - Maybe Cleveland Cavaliers fans can hope for cheap gas if an oil company insults All-Star LeBron James.
Lines were so long Thursday at some of the 86 Papa John's stores offering a large, one-topping pizza for 23 cents that police stood nearby to make sure people didn't get unruly.
The Louisville, Ky.-based company agreed to the offer after a franchisee in Washington, D.C., made T-shirts calling star LeBron James a "crybaby." The shirts referred to James' complaints about hard fouls during a playoff series victory over Washington. The company also will donate $10,000 to the Cavaliers Youth Fund.
The 23-cent price of a pizza is a homage to James' jersey number.
There were a few headaches, mostly complaints about long waits and line-cutting.
Each Papa John's location offering the deal in the Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo and Youngstown areas was prepared to sell more than 900 pies. Outlets were ordered to close early if, as expected, they ran out of pizzas.
Randall Hunter, 50, from Cleveland Heights, spent most of his four-hour split between bus driving shifts waiting for his pepperoni pizza. He defended James and what he said were flagrant fouls he received in the Washington series.
Patrick Mone, dressed in a blue Lebron James "Witness" T-shirt, was willing to wait as long as necessary for the bargain.
"It's worth it," he said. "All the money is going to charity, and obviously, it's bringing new business to Papa John's. Even though there is a line, I think it's pretty cool ... 23 cents, you can't beat it."

LONDON (Reuters Life!) - A British company developing a non-stick chewing gum that can be easily removed from pavements and shoes has raised 10 million pounds to help bring its product to market.
The new financing comes from institutional and private investors, with IP Group -- an early backer -- chipping in an additional 800,000 pounds, the firm said on Wednesday.
Revolymer's new Clean Gum is the result of polymer research at the University of Bristol, where the company was created as a research spin-out in 2005.
Today's chewing gums are made from synthetic latex, which is resistant to the weather and is strongly adhesive. Clean Gum adds a special polymer to modify its properties, making it far less sticky.

BERNE, Switzerland (Reuters) - The Swiss government has agreed to ease restrictions on the importation of potatoes following fears that Euro 2008 soccer fans could face a shortage of French fries next month.
A spokesman for the country's department of agriculture told national radio on Wednesday that the government would allow an additional 5,000 tonnes of potatoes to be brought in.
The decision follows a request by Swiss potato industry association Swisspatat who warned that supplies were already running low in the buildup to the June tournament.
The tournament runs from June 7 to 29 and will be co-hosted by Switzerland and neighboring Austria.

OMAHA, Neb. - The 55-year-old Omaha man who performed a tracheotomy on himself with a steak knife says he did the same thing to himself two years ago.
Steve Wilder said last Friday that his throat is shrunken because of radiation treatments for cancer. Those treatments ended four years ago, but scar tissue remains. He said seasonal allergies may have caused his struggle to breathe overnight.
Wilder said he fell asleep watching television in his basement but awakened when he felt himself suffocating. His wife, Cora, called an ambulance.
After medics took him to a hospital, he was given antibiotics to prevent a possible infection. The next day his physician inserted a tube in his throat.
Wilder, who did not give his occupation, said he's working again and feeling good.
He said he's had three tracheotomies since 2004. He performed the first one on himself in 2006 under similar circumstances.
A tracheotomy, a procedure that opens up the windpipe, typically is done in a surgical setting. Wilder said he isn't ready to perform tracheotomies on other people.
But his doctor told him that he did a pretty good job on himself.

LONDON (Reuters) - England is an irritating and insular country full of overweight, binge-drinking, reality TV addicts, a new guide warns tourists.
But in the new Rough Guide to England, the English are also hailed as a nation of animal-loving, tea-drinking charity donors who love nothing better than forming an orderly queue.
Gone, it seems, is the image of a genteel country awash with Englishmen politely tipping their bowler hats, groping through the London fog and being kinder to pets than kids.
The writers confess to bafflement over the quirky English, concluding that of the 200 countries the guide reviews there is none "so fascinating, beautiful and culturally diverse yet as insular, self-important and irritating as England."
They said the English are proud of their multi-culturalism and are united by one thing -- their sense of humor.
But there are constant contradictions. In a country priding itself on patriotism, they have a Scottish Prime Minister, an Italian football coach and a Greek married to the Queen.

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - A Rio de Janeiro tour company could be in trouble for giving tourists too intimate a view of life in the city's notorious slums, including photo opportunities with drug gang leaders.
The Brazilian city's tourism chief said on Monday that the company, Private Tours, could be stripped of its license after a report in a local newspaper that it had set up meetings between traffickers and tourists.
The paper sent a reporter disguised as a foreign tourist on the 4-hour, $55 tour of Rocinha, the city's largest slum, that included visits to the "bocas de fumo" where traffickers sell drugs to Rio residents.
It said the traffickers told the tourists stories about their time in prison, described the life of a Rio drug dealer, and would then pose for pictures with their guns -- as long as their faces were not photographed.
Rio tourism chief said the firm could lose its license if the story was accurate.
"It's not necessary to do this kind of tour in Rio; there are a lot of wonderful attractions," he said.

Up in arms

At arm's length

在美国人讲话时，或从书刊报纸上，你经常可以听到或见到一些由手臂，就是英文里的arms这个字组成的成语或俗语。有些习惯用语从字面上就可以很明显地了解它的意思，不需要解释。With open arms 就是一个很好的例子。当你听到一个朋友说: "My family received me with open arms when I came back from my trip to California." 很明显，这是说当你的朋友去加利福尼亚州后回家的时候，他家里的人都非常欢迎他。可是，有些习惯用语就不像with open arms这样容易理解了。比如说，什么是：Up in arms？这儿的arms不是指手臂了，而是指武器，如枪、炮、箭等。Up in arms的意思是起来进行武装斗争，或者非常愤怒，准备打架。我们来举个例子：

例句-1: "All us students are up in arms at the news the school is raising our tuition ten percent."

这句话的意思是："当我们学生听到学校要提高百分之十的学费时，我们都火冒三丈。"

下面我们要举的例子是一个国会议员在和一个同事谈论新的税收提案:

例句-2: "No way am I going to vote for a bill to raise income tax again. The voters back home are already up in arms about how much the government takes out of their pay already and I have to run for re-election this fall."

这位议员说："我绝不会投票支持再次增加所得税的提案。我们州的选民对政府现在从他们工资里扣除的税的数量已经非常恼火了。而我今年还要竞选连任。"

下面我们要讲的另一个由arms这个字组成的习惯用语是：At arm's length。Length在中文里的意思就是长短。At arm's length就是指和某人保持一定距离。下面这个例子是一个大学生在和他同宿舍的同学说话，请大家注意at arm's length 这个习惯用语在句子里是怎么用的：

例句-3: "I keep trying to get friendly with that lovely blonde who sits next to me in biology class. But she keeps me at arm's length."

他说："我一直设法和那个生物课坐在我旁边的金发姑娘接近。可是,她老是和我保持一定距离。"

在用at arm's length作为和谁保持一定距离的时候,一般都是这么说的：to keep someone at arm's length。

下面我们再来举一个例子。这是一个人在警告一个朋友不要和某人接近：

例句-4: "Let me warn you about this Smith fellow. He seems like a nice, friendly guy. But it's wise to keep him at arm's length. You get too friendly with him, and the first thing he'll do is ask to borrow money from you."

这个人说："我要警告你关于那个叫Smith的家伙。他看起来似乎很友好。但是，你最好还是和他保持一定距离。一旦你和他过于接近，他马上就会问你借钱。"

今天我们介绍了两个和arms 有关的习惯用语。第一个是：Up in arms，这是指起来进行武装斗争，或者非常愤怒，准备打架。另一个是：At arm's length 或者To keep someone at arm's length，这是和某人保持一定距离的意思
