Best Picture contender in this year’s Academy Awards. British director Steve McQueen (Hunger, Shame) takes a typically unblinking, no-holds-barred approach to the enduringly uncomfortable subject of slavery in the United States. So horrific and unrelenting are some scenes of torture in his new film that I am tempted to compare it to the season premiere of TV’s American Horror Story, which is similarly set for the most part in Louisiana.

Adapted from Solomon Northup’s 1853 book of the same title by screenwriter John Ridley (Three Kings, Red Tails), the film relates Northup’s own personal experience of being kidnapped as a free man in 1841 Washington, DC and being sold into more than a decade of Southern slavery without any recourse. Northup suffered under three diverse plantation owners (only twoare depicted in the movie), each seemingly more brutal in their treatment of their slaves than the one before. The married father of two children was eventually freed through the intervention of a Canadian abolitionist, to whom Northup had a providential opportunity to tell his story. He subsequently pursued legal channels to punish his kidnappers but to no avail. Northup was able, though, to write a graphic (for the time) indictment of the slavery system and became renowned as a leader in the abolitionist movement before he virtually disappeared from history.

Fortunately, Northup is unknown no more thanks to McQueen, Ridley and producer Brad Pitt, who also appears briefly in the film as Northup’s savior. Laurels must also be laid at the feet of lead actor Chiwetel Ejiofor. Best


known in GLBT circles for his turn as statuesque drag queen Lola in the original Kinky Boots movie, Ejiofor employs here a powerful combination of stunned resignation, abject humility, righteous indignation and graceful dignity, with more than a few nuances for good measure. His performance is also guaranteed an Oscar nomination.

The impressive “name” supporting cast in addition to Pitt includes prolific man of the moment Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Fassbender (who last worked with McQueen on the memorably full-frontal Shame), Paul Giamatti, Paul Dano, Alfre Woodard (sly as a slave turned plantation owner’s wife), Any Day Now’s Garret Dillahunt and out actress Sarah Paulson. Among the lesser-known actors, Lupita Nyong’o and Adepero Oduye are stunning as the most victimized of the female slaves, and both Quvenzhané Wallis and Dwightthe most of limited resources.

Dianne Martin, from Mt Denison Station, said she had seen a huge spike in the number of camels on the property, 320km north-west of Alice Springs.

"Over the years we've had very little problems with camels — there'd only be a handful you'd see in a year," Ms Martin said.

"But in the last year there's been hundreds and hundreds of camels that have come in."

Ms Martin said the camels had caused a lot of damage on their property, and the cost of controlling the population was significant.

"It's had a massive effect and a very expensive one, with fences being smashed down, bores being broken," she said.

"They just drink so much water — when a mob of 50 of them come in they'll suck a tank


was concerned the camel population would not reduce without better animal management on the Aboriginal land with which they shared a boundary.

"We simply say that rules need to be the same on both sides of the fence," Ms Severin said.

"We've got a responsibility to deal with the feral animals on the land we're responsible for, and if that's not happening on the all of the different land types then it's going to have an impact on your neighbours."

CLC wants to be more strategic with feral animal management

While pastoralists are upset about feral animal control on the other side of the fence, the CLC said it was grappling to make the most of limited resources for culling.

Peter Donohoe, manager of the CLC's land management team, said the organisation didBill Maher and panelists David Spade and Anne-Marie Johnson, the latter of whom was chair of the Screen Actors Guild Ethnic Employment Opportunity Committee.  After Silverman repeated the joke for exposition's sake, she opined that it made an implicit statement about the wrongness of racism, rather than legitimizing it. Johnson, however, questioned the humor in the joke, and Aoki opined that such slurs should not be used in an off-the-cuff manner because it legitimized their use, and that use of the word "chink" was no better than the use of the word "nigger". Aoki, while acknowledging that satire was a legitimate practice, asserted that Silverman's execution of it was not successful because it ran the risk that people would assume she actually subscribed to the racist viewpoint


you have been seriously injured on Metro, you’ll almost certainly need a Washington, D.C. bus accident lawyer with proven success against WMATA to overcome these technical legal defenses.

Experience and Track Record

Douglas Sparks has handled numerous injury claims against WMATA. His clients include an elderly woman who fell when a bus accelerated too suddenly, a young boy on a bicycle whose foot was crushed when a bus turned a corner too sharply, a woman whose leg was fractured after she slipped on an icy escalator, and a man whose knee was injured when a bus driver closed the door while the man was still boarding. WMATA settled several cases during litigation, and demanded jury trials in two others. Mr. Sparks won both trials. Metro appealed one of the verdicts,work. Nor did she know that the escalator had become dangerously icy because of the broken heating system. As a result, the woman slipped and tumbled to the bottom of the escalator, severely fracturing her leg. Metro vigorously denied liability and the case went to trial. Washington, D.C. rail accident attorney Douglas Sparks presented evidence of numerous dangers in the station, and argued that Metro should have warned patrons of those dangers. The jury returned a verdict for the woman. The results of this case were published in Metro Verdicts Monthly, which you can read here.

Early one morning, a man attempted to board a Metro bus for his daily commute to work. The bus driver closed the door on the man’s leg while he was boarding and started


White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said on Wednesday that he has never seen a nondisclosure agreement in the White House under the Trump administration.

"I can't speak to anybody else. What I can tell you is I've never seen one in this White House. I've never been asked to sign one in this White House," Gidley told Ned Ryun on Hill.TV's "Rising," when asked whether he signed an such an agreement while working in the administration.

The Trump campaign hit back against Manigault Newman on Tuesday when it filed for arbitration, saying she violated the terms of a 2016 nondisclosure agreement by publishing the book.

Manigault Newman has said she signed a confidentiality agreement with the Trump campaign but denied signing a similar agreement upon departing the White House.

A tearful Gordon Brown has spoken at length for the first time about the death of his baby daughter four years ago.

The notoriously private Chancellor described how his first child Jennifer Jane died at ten days old from a brain haemorrhage.

The interview with Sky News shows Mr Brown has accepted that to be voted as prime minister he must open up more to the British public.

Brown: Blair is my best friend

The Chancellor, with tears welling in his eyes, said: "There is nothing worse than having a young, precious baby taken from you.

"You never come to terms with it. You always know that there's something missing. Two weeks ago she would have been going to school for the first time.

"She was unblemished by


Labour party faces a leadership contest in which he is the frontrunner.

The Chancellor also issued a gushing - and somewhat unconvincing - tribute to the Prime Minister, claiming he was "his best friend".

He said Tony Blair had acted with "a tremendous amount of ability, skill, acumen and sensitivity to what the British people want.

"Over the 23 years I have known him, this has been one of the strongest political relationships in history.

"Tony is my friend. He will always be my friend. And you build friendships but friendships have ups and downs as well.

"No chancellor has served nine years and no prime minister has had the same chancellor for nine years.

"You are bound to go through ups and downs. But the question at the end of the day is,overall, what were the results of what happened?"

Mr Brown also spoke about his leadership ambitions - and revealed that he expects Mr Blair to step down as an MP at the next election.

He said: "Really the difference between myself and Tony Blair is only this one thing, that Tony has said he wants not to stand at the next election and, therefore, feels that he wishes to do other things.

"I have decided that I want to stand at the next general election because I feel I can do something over the next few years to meet the challenges to the country."

Mr Brown admitted he had made mistakes as Chancellor, including that he may have been too cautious about spending in Labour's first years in power.

"Perhaps I was too


hard. Perhaps that time when the pension did not rise fast enough," he said, referring to his decision to let the state basic pension rise by just 75p.

Twice he did not deny that he had struck a deal on the party leadership with Mr Blair at Granita restaurant in Islington in 1994.

"I don't think deals are anything that matter in politics," he said.

But he insisted there would be no deals over when Mr Blair now decides to stand down from office.

Mr Brown has won the backing of former US President Bill Clinton, who is to address Labour's conference next month.

Meanwhile, the battle for Labour's deputy leadership hotted up when it emerged Jack Straw would launch his own bid at the weekend.

Mr Straw has condemned the "blood letting" ofBoston's Brad Marchand will have a hearing with Brendan Shanahan and the Department of Player Safety Monday.The hearing concerns a hit Marchand delivered on Sami Salo late in the second period of the Bruins' loss to Vancouver Saturday afternoon. During the hit, Marchand collided with Salo's knee area and caused him to land hard onto the ice. Salo did not return to the game.Marchand was assessed a five-minute major for clipping and a game misconduct on the play.

Change planned at Aldgate

The road layout at Aldgate and Aldgate East Tube stations is notoriously difficult for people to traverse on bikes. The one-way


system around Aldgate and St Botolph’s church forms a de facto gyratory with sections that force a rider to contend with fast-moving traffic.

The junction of Mansell Street and the A11 is often clogged by traffic turning right on to the A11 and both bike riders and drivers often have to change lanes in the stretch between there and the junction with the A13. To travel the few hundred metres between Leadenhall Street and Whitechapel Road involves five sets of traffic lights, none with adequate provision for people on bikes.

Andrew Gilligan says he was at the spot where Philippine de Gerin-Ricard was killed just three days before the crash.

In video, the alleged thief appeared to be arguing with the security guard after he whipped out the weapon. Eventually, the guard re-holstered the taser and appears to let the suspect go.

LAPD did not respond to Gold’s Gym, according to Yahoo News.

The bike incident comes after Arnold was dropkicked by a crazed man in South Africa during a fitness expo three weeks ago.

During the attack, a man shouted “Help me! I need a Lamborghini!” — then pounded the movie star in the back with a flying double dropkick, wild video footage shows.

Gymnast's Journey: Toddler Tumbler To Golden Girl

Aly Raisman started gymnastics like millions of other children — in a toddler tumbling class. Now 17, the Massachusetts athlete is considered one of the best tumblers in the world. And she's on track to make the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics team.

As a gymnast, Raisman sets herself apart with her power moves. When she competed at the 2012 American Cup, an NBC TV commentator said of one tumbling pass: "Most people in the world would have said that this pass is not possible."

Ineverything she does.

"Gymnastics has really taken a priority in her life for a really long time, and that comes from her," Lynn says. "Because if it didn't, I think she would have quit a long time ago."

Raisman was only 2 years old in 1996, when the U.S. women's gymnastics team last took Olympic gold. When she set her sights on competing in the Olympics, her mother found an old VCR tape of that golden team and gave it to her.

"In my room, I would replay it day after day after day," Raisman says. "And I was literally obsessed with it. I could memorize all the scores and tell you who was going next, and all that stuff. I was so inspired by it."

Until last year, Raisman went to


Needham High School and maintained a rigorous training schedule. Now she's completing her senior year online. On most days, she spends seven hours at the gym. She says the key to tumbling is conditioning, not just lifting weights.

"Actually I have to climb the rope without legs, with 10-pound weights on," she says — adding with a laugh, "so it's very, very hard."

As a result of that work, her upper body seems very powerful — something she confirms.

"I look really strong, definitely compared to normal girls," Raisman says. "I'm proud of it, I guess, because it's a lot of hard work to get that, and it doesn't just come overnight."

Training recently at a gym in a Boston suburb, she practices her dismount from the balance beam. Her coach, Mihaihas a low V-neck, but it's very simple, and elegant and sophisticated. So I'm really excited to wear it."

Raisman says she wants to eventually go to college and study fashion. But right now, she's focused on sticking a spot on the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team.

Alexandra Raisman of Needham Massachusetts started gymnastics like a lot of other kids, in a toddler class, tumbling, making moves on a long spring track a little like a trampoline. Today at 17 years old, she is considered one of the best tumblers in the world and well on track to make the 2012 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics team.

From WBUR in Boston, Monica Brady-Myerov reports.

MONICA BRADY-MYEROV, BYLINE: As a gymnast Aly Raisman sets herself apart with her power moves. Here she is at the 2012


American Cup, which was broadcast on NBC.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Unreal.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: And she's capable of some unbelievable tumbling passes that I'm sure, before she's preformed this one, most people in the world would have said that this pass is not possible.

BRADY-MYEROV: Raisman runs into a series of aerial somersaults that ends with a punch lay out, which means she flips over fully extended like she's a pancake being flipped. It's almost like she's floating. If she nails it at the Olympic trials at the end of June, she'll have a very good chance of taking one of the five spots on the women's U.S. Gymnastics team.

ALY RAISMAN: I'm excited and I'm anxious, and I'm just kind of ready for it to happen. I feel like I've beenwaiting my whole life for it, so I just kind of want it to come now.

BRADY-MYEROV: Her mother, Lynn Raisman, says as the oldest of four children, Aly has drive and determination in everything she does.

LYNN RAISMAN: Gymnastics has really taken a priority in her life for a really long time, and that comes from her. Because if it didn't, I think she would have quit a long time ago.

pain control through anesthesia was discovered in the mid-19th century. Before the advent of anesthesia, surgery was a traumatically painful procedure and surgeons were encouraged to be as swift as possible to minimize patient suffering.  This also meant that operations were largely restricted to amputations and external growth removals. Beginning in the 1840s, surgery began to change dramatically in character with the discovery of effective and practical anaesthetic chemicals such as ether, first used by the American surgeon Crawford Long, and chloroform, discovered by Scottish obstetrician James Young Simpson and later pioneered by John Snow, physician to Queen Victoria. In addition to relieving patient suffering, anaesthesia allowed more intricate operations in the internal regions of the human body.

Lister continued to develop improved methods of antisepsis and asepsis when he realised that infection could be better avoided by preventing bacteria from getting into wounds in the first place. This led to the rise of sterile surgery. Lister introduced the Steam Steriliser to sterilize equipment, instituted rigorous hand washing and later implemented the wearing of rubber gloves.

       Victor Centeno, Alejandro Rodriguez Leon (Leon), Robert Palofox, and Daniel
Rivas were tried together on charges of conspiracy and other felonies arising from a
series of home invasion robberies committed in the counties of Fresno and Merced in
early 2010. Their trials were severed from those of alleged co-conspirators with whom
they were indictedCode1
section 669 to impose concurrent sentences for gang-related offenses punishable under
the alternate penalty provisions of section 186.22, subdivision (b)(4).
                               STATEMENT OF THE CASE
       The underlying events occurred in February and March of 2010 when a group of
people from Arizona, working in conjunction with an individual who lived in California,
carried out a series of home invasion robberies in the cities of Atwater, Clovis, Kerman,
and Selma. The crimes were carefully coordinated, sometimes involving upwards of 10
perpetrators, and followed the same general pattern. The men would split up into two
groups of lookouts and intruders, with


the former stationing themselves in parked cars at
strategically selected locations and maintaining communication with the intruders over
cell phones and “walkie-talkies.” The intruders, meanwhile, would enter homes and
force the occupants inside to surrender cash, gold, and other items of value. Armed with
guns, they threatened to kill their victims and used violence to extract information about
the location of money and valuables. The victims were sometimes tied up with electrical
cords and other makeshift restraints. In three of the five incidents, an automobile was
stolen during the course of the robbery.
       A joint investigatory effort by law enforcement agencies in California and Arizona
led to the arrest and prosecution of nine suspects. On March 22, 2011, a Fresno County
grand jury returned an 18-count indictment against appellants and theirCounts 11 through 18 for their participation in the last two of those
robberies. Centeno, who was 17 years old at the time of the offenses, was charged as an
adult pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 707, subdivision (d)(1).
       Appellants were tried before a Fresno County jury in May and June 2012. A
bifurcated trial was conducted on gang allegations that were made pursuant to section
186.22, subdivision (b). Trial evidence relevant to the claims on appeal is described
within the body of our Discussion.
       The first two robberies occurred on February 24, 2010 in Clovis and Atwater. For
his part in the Clovis robbery, Rivas was convicted of robbery in concert (§§ 211, 213,
subd. (a)(1)(A); Count 2), false imprisonment


10). As to Leon, the robbery was found to be gang-related within the
meaning of section 186.22, subdivision (b).
       The fourth and fifth robberies occurred on March 16, 2010 in Atwater and Selma.
For the (second) Atwater robbery, all appellants were convicted of robbery in concert
(Count 11), false imprisonment by violence (Count 12), assault with a semiautomatic
firearm (§ 245, subd. (b); Count 13), making criminal threats (§ 422; Count 14), and
vehicle theft (Count 15). In regards to the Selma robbery, appellants were convicted of
robbery in concert (Count 16), false imprisonment (Count 17), and vehicle theft

                                                    6.
Background
        Palofox was represented at the earliest hearings in the case by Nancy Wong, who
then worked as a deputy public defender in Fresno County. Ms. Wong made at least four
court appearances on behalf of Palofox during the months of June, September, and
December 2010. While stating her appearance on September 14, 2010, Ms. Wong noted
that she was “standing in for Roberto Dulce,” referring to another deputy public defender
in her office. Mr. Dulce had at that point made two prior court appearances with Palofox
during the month of August, and later represented him at a hearing held on October 12,
2010.


summarily join in Leon’s
arguments on appeal. We find no error.
Background
       Jury selection began with a venire of 18 prospective jurors whose racial and ethnic
backgrounds are, for the most part, indiscernible from the record. Two members of the
original panel were excused by the trial court during its initial round of questioning and
replaced by other people in the jury pool. Peremptory challenges were made after further
questioning by the prosecution and each of the four defense attorneys, which resulted in
the removal of seven panel members, each of whom was replaced by a new prospective
juror. The reconstituted panel included Prospective Juror No. 23, hereafter referred to as
“Juror 23.”
       Juror 23 is described in the record as an African-American male. Hislegal
training,” including Prospective Juror No. 5. The record does not support this contention.
Although Prospective Juror No. 5 said that his father was a civil defense attorney, he
himself was a community college student who had plans to matriculate to the Academy
of Art University in San Francisco. When asked about a basic legal concept, this
prospective juror claimed ignorance of the prosecution’s burden of proof in a criminal
trial.
         At the time of the Wheeler/Batson motion, three other panel members had
referenced educational backgrounds that were tangentially related to the field of law.
Prospective Jurors Nos. 11 and 13 studied criminology at the undergraduate level. The
latter individual was excused by the trial court and the former was stricken by the defense
during the first round of peremptory


 Respondent supports its position by citing to testimony by the victim of the
March 16, 2010 robbery in Atwater, who claimed to be “one hundred percent” certain

that Leon was one of the perpetrators who entered his home. The Attorney General
further notes: “Just a few hours after the fifth robbery on McCall Avenue [in Selma],
Leon and his green Tahoe were both photographed with a group that included
coconspirator Beltran, who later pawned a ring stolen in that robbery. In addition, a cell
phone registered to someonewith Leon’s Arizona home address was in the vicinity of all
five robberies, while in frequent contact with phones belonging to codefendant Rivas and
coconspirators Landeros and Zazueta.” Thus, given the probability of Leon’s conviction
on the counts relating to the two robberies on March 16, 2010, defense counsel could
have reasonably concluded that the exculpatory value of his statements about the other
crimes outweighed the damaging impact of his admissions.
       Respondent’s theory is plausible, especially in light of the jury’s verdict. The
defense evidence consisted of employment records which ostensibly showed that Leon
was in Arizona on February 24, 2010 when the first two robberies were committed.
However, eyewitnesses from both of those incidents not only identified him as one of the
perpetrators, but also claimed he was the man


Centeno also disputes the voluntariness of a confession he made to law
enforcement officers during a custodial interview. Like Leon, he argues his incriminating

cannot satisfy his burden of demonstrating a causal connection between the alleged
promises of leniency and his admissions of guilt. We are thus constrainedto uphold the
judgment regardless of whether any improper promises were made during his
interrogation.
Background
       Centeno was interrogated at a juvenile detention facility in Arizona. According to
his probation report, he was being held at the facility on unrelated charges when
detectives spoke with him about the events in this case. His age at the time of the
interrogation was approximately 17 years and 5 months.
       Our knowledge of what occurred during the custodial interview is limited to the
contents of a 20-page transcript containing portions of the questioning, but the transcript
has been redacted to an unknown degree. The length of the interview is also unknown.
The entire session was reportedly documented in an audio recording, but we have only
heard a 29-minute excerpt

a nine-millimeter “semiautomatic pistol” during a traffic stop conducted in Arizona on
March 29, 2010, and police discovered a “.45 caliber semiautomatic Ruger handgun”
during a search of his living space in May of that year.
       The relationship of the facts relied upon by respondent to the assault on

It was a pleasure to join Max Gadney to participate in the first episode of his After the Flood podcast. Based on our respective experiences working in different capacities with clients from the sports industry, in this episode we discussed the current trends of data visualisation in sports: within the sport, about the sport, on TV and on second screen devices.

Thanks to Max for inviting me on his first show. I wish him a long and glorious podcasting career!


estimated to live outside the Russian Federation (compared to 147 million living within the Russian Federation).

The largest overseas community is found in the United States, estimated at some 3 million people. The next largest communities of Russian speakers outside the Former Soviet Union are found in in Israel and then in Germany, both of unknown size but estimated in the six-figure range in Israel and in the five-figure range in Germany. In addition, in Canada, Brazil and Venezuela, several hundred thousand citizens each identify as of partial Russian descent.

Ethnonym

There are two Russian words which are commonly translated into English as "Russians". One is "русские" (russkiye), which most often means "ethnic Russians". Another is "россияне" (rossiyane), which means "citizens of Russia". The former word refers to ethnic Russians, regardlessof what country they live in and irrespective of whether or not they hold Russian citizenship. Under certain circumstances this term may or may not extend to denote members of other Russian-speaking ethnic groups from Russia, or from the former Soviet Union. The latter word refers to all people holding citizenship of Russia, regardless of their ethnicity, and does not include ethnic Russians living outside of Russia. Translations into other languages often do not distinguish these two groups.

Arktika-class icebreaker

The Arktika class is a Russian (former Soviet) class of nuclear-powered icebreakers; they are the largest and most powerful icebreakers ever constructed. Ships of the Arktika class are owned by the federal government, but were operated by the Murmansk Shipping Company (MSCO) until 2008, when they were transferred to the


fully government-owned operator Atomflot. Of the ten civilian nuclear-powered vessels built by Russia (and the Soviet Union), six have been of this type. They are used for escorting merchant ships in the Arctic Ocean north of Siberia as well as for scientific and recreational expeditions to the Arctic.

History

On July 3, 1971, construction began on a conceptual design of a larger nuclear icebreaker, dubbed Arktika, in the Baltic Shipyard in then Leningrad. Four years later, on December 17, 1975, Moscow and Leningrad received radio messages informing them that sea trials had been completed successfully. The newest and largest nuclear icebreaker at the time was ready for the Arctic.

The number of ethnic Russians living outside the Russian Federation is estimated at roughly between 20 and 30 million people (depending on the notion of "ethnicity" used), the majority of them in countries of the Former Soviet Union; about 30 million native speakers of Russian are estimated to live outside the Russian Federation (compared to 147 million living within the Russian Federation).

Just about 30 miles from the bustling city of Tallahassee, Florida, and around 10 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico, near the town of Wakulla, lies a sprawling expanse of deep swamp called the Wacissa Swamp, also known as the Wakulla Swamp, which is intersected by the Wacissa River. It is a lush, wild, somewhat forbidding land full of alligators lurking in murky waters, clouds of mosquitos, snakes, hot sulphur belching springs, and at times nearly impenetrable undergrowth, a place that manages to retain the remote quality of its pristine, untamed wilderness despite its proximity to civilization. The swamp is also home to a curious historical mystery that has become entwined with local lore and legends, and which remains unsolved.

When Spanish explorers first came to Florida’s shoresin the 1500s, they were met with the intimidating sight of this vast tangle of swampland, and from somewhere out in its midst of this carpet of green spewed forth a massive plume of thick smoke that changed color day to day ranging from an ominous black to a lighter white or even bluish color, and the Native Seminole people had stories of this mysterious smoke going back generations. The amount of smoke in this column was far beyond the scope of any manmade campfire or chimney, and was sometimes so potent that it could be seen from far out in the Gulf and up to 20 miles away. It was quite the perplexing oddity at the time, but the uncharted wilderness which ensconced it was so inhospitable


and uninviting that no one made any attempts to try and discern the source of the mysterious smoke, and what would go on to be called the “Wakulla Volcano” was sort of forgotten.

It was not until settlers began trickling into the region in the early 1800s that the phenomena would gain notoriety once more, still belching out its twisting column of smoke after centuries. The oddity was a cause of much talk, and people would often climb up to high places in order to watch the strange display, which seemed to originate from somewhere in what is now the St. Marks Wildlife Refuge. Speculation over the coming decades on what was causing the plume ranged from pirate dens, to a runaway slave camp, to campfires, to Civil Wardeserters, moonshiners, a boiling spring or geyser, or more supernatural explanations such as that it was the Devil himself, but no one really had a clue. Making it all even more inexplicable was that on some occasions there was witnessed to be an eerie glow that would emanate from around where the source of the smoke should be, as well as mysterious deep rumbling noises and even tremors that would sometimes reverberate through the earth.

By the 1860s the oddity was reported on in various news outlets, and speculation increasingly leaned towards the explanation that there was an actual active volcano out there in the swamp. Considering all of the attention that the “Wakulla Volcano” was gaining, some intrepid adventurous types began launching expeditions into the gloomy, alligator infested


swamp in order to try and find the origin of the smoke once and for all, and a newspaper went on to offer a hefty reward for anyone who found it, but the rewards remained unclaimed and the volcano remained a specter. One of the most well-known of these expeditions penetrated into the forbidding swamp in 1875, travelling up the Pinhook River. The expedition would come back claiming to have found what appeared to be the cone of an extinct volcano. In 1876 there was another well-known expedition launched, this time sponsored by the New York Herald Tribune. This particular quest for the volcano would prove to be disastrous, with one member injured from falling out of a tree he had climbed to try and get a betterview of the smoke, and another dying of disease. The doomed expedition spent 10 days trouncing about the swamp without finding even a single trace of anything volcanic in nature.

In the meantime, the supposed volcano kept defiantly shooting up its smoke, and there was even one spectacular report from a witness named Frank Duggle claiming that he had seen “a large fire shooting its flaming tongue high up into the upper realms, frequently reflected back by passing clouds.” Such volcano sightings steadily came in right up until August of 1886, when a powerful earthquake rattled the city of Charleston, South Carolina, and was strong enough to give parts of Florida and Tallahassee a jolt as well. After this, the plume of smoke stopped for several years, but it


or mat of vegetation that seemed to be smoldering with fire for reasons unknown. This was enough to get another expedition launched by the Florida Times-Union the following year, but they found no sign of any volcano, burning earth, or even smoke. After this, sightings once again dropped off, and the Wakulla Volcano sort of faded into history.

While the phenomenon of the Wakulla Volcano has mostly been forgotten, its mystery has managed to retain a pulse of life nevertheless, with various strange accounts into the 1930s, 40s, and beyond of hikers or locals coming across smoldering craters in the earth, scorched vegetation, smoke rising from unusual rock formations, and in one report of “scattered rocks that looked like they had been burnt by extreme heat.” There was alsoconflagrations of peat bogs, but while this is known to happen in nature and could explain the glow and smoke, it is exceedingly rare, and it does not seem that any such fire would burn long enough and in the same area to explain the phenomenon witnessed. There are still people trying to find answers to the mystery. In as recently as 1997 researchers Jim Whitman, Bill and Todd Meyers, of the group UNX-Research, went out to search for the legendary volcano and team member Meyers would say of what they found:

We hiked about two miles from the river to a high ridge that ran through a hammock. There was a high point on this ridge with rocks strewn everywhere. The rocks were overgrown with vegetation, but some


Nearly 1 million pieces of food packaging, more than 250,000 items of clothing, and enough light bulbs to replace every light on the Eiffel Tower -- that's just some of the detritus volunteers found among the 9 million pounds of trash they collected recently from the world's coastlines and waterways.

The 2011 International Coastal Cleanup, organized by the Ocean Conservancy, saw volunteers scouring shorelines for garbage from the United States to the Philippines. The results of the cleanup, released last week by the ocean-conservation group, provide "a snapshot of what ocean trash is found along ocean and waterways throughout the country and world."

large-scale events for BMX and Skate.

Ocean City will feature vert, park, mega ramp and flatland.
San Francisco will feature dirt and two new street events.

BMX STREET(Plaza and Harrison St.)
Street riding has been around for decades, but was largely ignored by BMX magazines for years. By the time the media started to cover street, it was already a favorite amongst riders. A far cry from its roots of tricking off a set of stairs while being chased by security guards, these days street is the most covered discipline in BMX. With vert, park and dirt comps being broadcast on live TV since the mid-90's, magazines began to fill the content void by focusing on non-contest disciplines; street and trail riding. Today,


BMX street events have moved into the TV contest arena and will make a Dew Tour debut in San Francisco.

Courses
The San Francisco Dew Tour plaza course was designed to replicate the legendary SF street spots, including the China Banks - a street spot sessioned by both BMXers and skaters for years. For those with a penchant for high-speed gaps and wallrides, the Dew Tour has created a downhill course with banks, handicap rails, step-up and step-down gaps, a wallride and even a few cars to bash. It will be interesting to see what lines the riders take down Harrison St towards the legendary Embarcadero.

Finally, Van Shumway called with CRP's response to the story. "The sources of the Washington Post are a fountain of misinformation," he said.

Bernstein waited. That was the whole statement.

Because the story's implications were the opposite of the message contained in the indictments, Bernstein and Woodward expected it would receive considerable attention. But, for the most part, the nation's major news outlets either ignored it or focused on denials by Mardian, who refused to talk to the Post.

Bernstein said he couldn't tell.

mohamed elhassan abdelatif mahir / courtesy muawia shaddad and peter jenniskens About 40 minutes after the meteor’s explosions, Mohamed Elhassan Abdelatif Mahir took this photograph in Wadi Halfa using his mobile phone. The cloud is what astronomers call the meteor’s “dust train.”

Eyewitness to the explosion of 2008 TC3, station attendant Abdel Moneim Magzoub points out the altitude of the fireball to Muawia Shaddad of the University of Khartoum.

arred awake by a thunderous explosion, Abdel Moneim Magzoub sat bolt upright in his sleeping cot on the porch of Station 6, the railway stop in northern Sudan where he worked as an attendant. It was just before dawn on October 7, 2008. His heart pounding, he woke in time to see a fireball careening through the sky and explode asecond time, leaving a glowing cloud. He had no idea what he had just seen.

Astronomer Richard Kowalski, monitoring the night skies from the summit of Mount Lemmon, near Tucson, Arizona, less than 24 hours before, knew exactly what Magzoub saw. Kowalski tracks asteroids. He had monitored the white blip that crossed his screen at 6:39 that morning and forwarded its coordinates to the Minor Planet Center (mpc) in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

In California, astronomer Steve Chesley was getting his kids off to school around 7:30 a.m. when a call from mpc director Tim Spahr sent him hustling to his office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (jpl) in Pasadena: A “potentially hazardous asteroid” was headed for Earth. Chesley’s job was to estimate where and when it would strike. “We were able


of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (nasa) and circulated to networks of astronomers around the world.

Some 45 students and staff of the University of Khartoum, led by physicist Muawia Shaddad (top row, sixth from right) and guided by astronomer Peter Jenniskens, made several trips to the area to search for fragments of the asteroid. Below, Right: Imaging from Meteosat 8 caught the location of the fireball west of Almahata Sitta (Station 6). The arrow shows its direction of travel from entry into the atmosphere, its explosion and its dispersal.

He contacted the University of Khartoum in Sudan, where he made the acquaintance of Muawia Shaddad, an astronomer in the department of physics. Shaddad then located Abdel Moneim Magzoub, the attendant in Station 6, as well as two other eyewitnesses, one of whom had taken photos of the dust cloud on his cell phone.

Jenniskens flew to Khartoum in December 2008, where he joined Shaddad in collecting observations from eyewitnesses in hopes of determining how deep the remains might have penetrated. At the university, more than 40 enthusiastic students and staff responded to Shaddad’s call for volunteers to join in a search. Saadia Elsir, a doctoral student in meteorology who teaches at Sudan’s Juba University, was a member of the


it was a meteorite that had recently fallen,” he says. He joined the students in a spontaneous celebration of the find. “It was a rich, black color, and it had the thin, glassy surface that forms as a result of melting and solidifying.”

Two hours later Mohammed Alameen sighted an unusual-looking black rock—the first of what now total 280 meteorites recovered to date.

Aly Raisman is one of the most accomplished American gymnasts of all time. She's won six Olympic medals, three of them gold, and was captain of the U.S. teams that dominated the last two summer games: in London in 2012, and Rio in 2016. Doing a backflip on a balance beam takes a certain type of courage. Last year, Raisman displayed courage of another kind when she spoke with us for the first time about a deeply personal and painful part of her life. It was a stunning development for USA Gymnastics, the national governing body for her sport: Raisman said she was sexually abused while competing on the U.S. National team. Her story, and those of other women, set off an extraordinary chain of events that ledthere representing your country.

Aly Raisman: Yes.

"I didn't know anything differently. We were told he is the best doctor. He's the United States Olympic doctor and the USA Gymnastics doctor, and we were very lucky we were able to see him."

Few athletes have represented their country with as much distinction as Aly Raisman.

Her floor routines at the last two Olympics dazzled audiences and judges and provided some of the most iconic moments of the Summer Games.

The doctor she says abused her, Larry Nassar, worked with the U.S. Women's National Team and athletes at Michigan State University for more than two decades. Raisman says Nassar first treated her over eight years ago, when she was 15 years-old.

Aly Raisman: I was just really innocent. I didn't really know. You know, you


to them more than a decade before Raisman joined the national team. Over 400 women have alleged similar abuse. Last year, Nassar and his lawyers declined to comment for this story.

Raisman, now 24, talks about her experiences in a new book called "Fierce." It's the story of a girl who dreamed of going to the Olympics, and how she managed to get there. Raisman says she will not discuss the graphic details of what Nassar did to her, but she does provide new insight into a scandal that goes to the highest level of her sport. She told us a lot of people have asked her why Nassar's accusers didn't speak up sooner.

Aly Raisman: Why are we looking at why didn't the girls speak up? Why not lookparents CBS News

Her hard work and dedication landed her a spot on the U.S. team for the London Olympics in 2012. During the qualifying round in London, a video of her parents, Lynn and Rick Raisman, went viral.

Jon LaPook: At the London Olympics, you became perhaps the most famous cheering section in history.

Rick Raisman: I just think we got caught up in the moment. The amount of pressure and, you know, that she was under at that time, it's just not easy for us to watch.

In the first key test in London -- the team finals -- Aly's performance on the floor clinched gold for the U.S.. Their first gold ever on foreign soil.

"I didn't know the signs. I didn't know what sexual abuse really was. And I


said, "You worked too hard to not be Olympic champion because you're a little afraid."

She took Coach Mihai's advice and won gold.

Aly Raisman: It felt like I was like floating. It felt like it was effortless. And I've never felt like that before. But it was, like, the best feeling in the world… I learned a valuable lesson that day. In the all-around final, I was nervous. I doubted myself, and I made a mistake. In the floor final, I knew I was gonna hit the best routine of my life, and I did.

She returned from London with three medals, a hometown hero,was really empowering for me.

After she returned from Rio, she says she spoke with FBI agents who had opened an investigation of Larry Nassar.

Last summer, Raisman and her teammates from Rio were inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame.

Aly Raisman: We must remember that protecting athletes comes first, and doing right by athletes is always the priority. I love our sport so much, and I want the best for it.

Some of the most powerful people in the sport were there. But Raisman says it seemed that many of them were giving her the cold shoulder.

Aly Raisman: There was a table of a lot of people that are very high up in USA Gymnastics that were in the room. And they didn't come over. You know, my teammates


in the fight against sexual abuse, and has not been training for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. At a court hearing in Michigan in January, Raisman was one of more than 150 women who confronted Larry Nassar.

Aly Raisman: Imagine feeling like you have no power and no voice. Well, you know what, Larry? I have both power and voice and I am only beginning to just use them.

Nassar was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison. Since then, the entire board of USA Gymnastics was forced to resign. The president of Michigan State University stepped down, and the university agreed to a half a billion dollar settlement with Dr. Nassar's accusers. In Washington, a new law was passed, requiring amateur sports organizations to report allegations[Evolution of the demography of anesthesia practitioners in French speaking Sub-Saharan Africa].
To assess the course of the demography of anaesthesia providers in French-speaking subsaharian countries. Retrospective survey. Doctors trained in anaesthesia and nurse anaesthetists registered in West African medical societies. Countries, hospitals, anaesthesia manpower, seniority and place of training were analysed. In the 13 French-speaking subsaharian countries including 97.5-M inhabitants, 122 doctors and 868 nurses were registered as anaesthetists in 1998. Mean ratios were one doctor trained in anaesthesia for 799,180 inhabitants and one nurse anaesthetist for 112,327 inhabitants. From 1980 to 1998, these figures increased by a factor 11 for doctors (+1100%) and by a factor two for nurses (+100%).

In December 2006, a Spanish-language version of the Qubo website was launched. A companion digital subchannel network, Qubo Channel, launched on Ion Media Networks' terrestrial stations on January 8, 2007, initially featuring a schedule of children's programming in rolling four-hour blocks; Ion intended to attempt carriage of the channel on pay-TV providers. In May of that year, NBCUniversal sold its minority stake in Ion Media Networks to Citadel LLC. On December 3, 2007, Qubo Channel expanded its programming offerings to include shows from other producers, as well as some programs that were already airing on Ion Television's Qubo block. In addition, the rolling schedule was expanded to a six-hour block, which repeated four times per day.

In January 2008, Ion Media Networks andof the cable network in November 2013, and PBS Kids Sprout immediately became simply Sprout as a result. Sprout eventually became Universal Kids in 2017.

Ion Media Networks acquired the stakes in Qubo held by Classic Media (which became DreamWorks Classics in 2012, after its acquisition by DreamWorks Animation), Scholastic and Corus Entertainment in 2013, with all three companies retaining program distribution partnerships with the network. The Qubo block on Ion Television was renamed as the "Qubo Kids Corner" on January 4, 2015, concurrent with the block's move from Friday to Sunday mornings.

THE BOMBAY High Court Friday ruled that the order passed by the Maharashtra Governor granting sanction to prosecute former state chief minister Ashok Chavan in the Adarsh housing society scam “cannot be sustained”. A bench of Justice Ranjit More and Justice Sadhana Jadhav quashed and set aside the sanction order.

The court was hearing a petition filed by Chavan challenging the decision of Maharashtra Governor C Vidyasagar Rao granting sanction to the CBI to prosecute him in the case. The bench had earlier made Rao a respondent in the matter.

On October 8, 2015, the CBI sent a fresh proposal in the form of a second application seeking sanction to prosecute Chavan, which was granted by the Governor. The CBI had relied on the reportCowboys and Indians

It's always impressed me that Bill Eastlake was born in Brooklyn, just that he's so particularly and adamantly Western, however vague now that term becomes. Much like Edward Abbey, with whom I first went down from Taos to meet him in the mid '50s, that wonder of an imagined place had somehow met with its actuation in fact, and the intensive demand both men bring to anywhere they are, being Easterners I'd like to say, got response in this otherwise gritty, barren, wind-blasted, inhuman, godforsaken and altogether dear desert, the so-called Southwest. As it happened, I had written Bill his first fan letter, from Mallorca, having read a story of his, "Little Joe," in Accent (Autumn 1954). I was trying to get active prose for the


Black Mountain Review , and his writing, with its asperity and singular (almost 'existential') point of view, call it, caught me instantly. This story, be it said, was far from the setting of his subsequent writing, involved as it was with children and their teasing of a bigger one, "Little Joe," who is retarded—and a tree they variously climb, which still sticks in memory as a wondrous, literal center. Bill took my letter as some signal of international recognition, which thankfully and deservedly he did finally get but not that year. I, in turn, never did have a chance to publish him in the magazine because it collapsed very shortly after. It wasn't till Donald Allen invited me to collaborate with him on the editing of New AmericanWood Krutch as to how he could have spent a life devoted to an author as inhumanly dull as the one who wrote Rasselas . I think he even expected an answer, though I don't think he got one. Likewise he put much the same effort into catechizing kids of an intensely Catholic family as to what might be their sense of it all. He is merciless in these preoccupations. Another time, when we were visiting again, he sent Ed Abbey out into a veritable blizzard (so it proved) to check the horses in a pasture some distance from the house. After some time Ed did finally make it back, but as he would tell you, it hadn't been easy in the blowing snow. He told Bill he'd


the horse off without problem and then wound a bandana I characteristically had with me in those days tightly around his wrist. Then we headed down to his car and drove in to see Dr. Johnson, the bright woman who had the clinic in town and was the only medical resource for many miles indeed. After asking me what I was doing out of bed, she checked Bill's wrist and gave him a tetanus shot. I remember her showing him photos of classic broken wrists—they look like a fork, she said, the way they go—so as to reassure him his was ok. So that was that, except for a lovely echo sometime later when my wife was talking with his, during a visit.

Airlines have been stepping up their efforts to recruit more female pilots to meet the increasing demand for travel.

Spending on travel and tourism has spiked in recent years, with customers keen to spend their money on new experiences.

There were nearly 350 million more international tourists in 2017 than in 2010, according to the World Tourism Organization.

Which airline employs the most female pilots?

Globally, just 5.18% of commercial pilots are women, according to the Air Line Pilots Association International trade union.

Indian airlines employ the highest proportion of female pilots at 12.4%. That's according to the latest statistics from the International Society of Women Airline Pilots (ISWAP).

Zoom Air, a regional Indian airline, tops the leader board. ISWAP says it employs nine female pilots out of a total of


pilot practice.

The British Airline Pilots' Association has highlighted difficulties which aspiring pilots can face when funding their training.

It has said that the high cost of training can put off those from less affluent backgrounds.

Initiatives have also been set up to encourage young women's interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects, which can be useful for those looking to become a pilot.

Captain Kate McWilliams, an EasyJet employee, became the world's youngest female airline captain at the age of 26.

She said: "A lot of people think it's a highly technical job, which puts them off.

"But a huge amount of it is being good with people. As a captain, you're a people manager. There needs to be a change in perception around the job."1. Field of the Invention

A flashback scene that takes place at the Tower of Joy has been confirmed in a new report on “Game of Thrones” Season 6. Preparations to film the relevant scenes in Spain are said to be underway, and the show may have a few celebrity cameos next year.

According to a report by LosSieteReinos, Castle Zafra in Spain will be used to depict the Tower of Joy in the next season. Filming at the location is expected to take place in late September, according to the report.

The report said that there was a casting call earlier that seemed to be for Arthur Dayne, a character from “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, who was present during the major events that took place near the Tower of Joy.the 1930s as a legalist, anti-colonialist and non-violent movement that claimed legitimacy for armed resistance in Palestine against Zionist expansionism during the period before the Second World War. The writings from between 1930 and 1945 of Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Brotherhood, show that he opposed colonialism and strongly criticised the fascist governments in Germany and Italy. He rejected use of violence in Egypt, even though he considered it legitimate in Palestine, in resistance to the Zionist Stern and Irgun terror gangs. He believed that the British parliamentary model represented the kind closest to Islamic principles.

Al-Banna's objective was to found an "Islamic state" based on gradual reform, beginning with popular education and broad-based social programmes. He was assassinated in 1949 by the Egyptian government on the orders of


the British occupiers. Following Gamal Abdel Nasser's revolution in 1952, the movement was subjected to violent repression. Several distinct trends emerged. Radicalised by their experience of prison and torture, some of its members (who eventually left the organisation) concluded that the state had to be overthrown at all costs, even with violence. Others remained committed to the group's original position of gradual reform.

Many of its members were forced into exile: some in Saudi Arabia, where they were influenced by the Saudi literalist ideology; others in countries such as Turkey and Indonesia, Muslim-majority societies where a wide variety of communities coexist. Still others settled in the west, where they came into direct contact with the European tradition of democratic freedom.

Today's Muslim Brotherhood draws these diverse visions together. But theon the development of the most problematic Islamist theses - from understanding of the sharia to respect for freedom and defence of equality. Only by exchanging ideas, and not by torture and dictatorship, can we find solutions that respect the people's will. Turkey's example should be an inspiration to observers.

The west continues to use "the Islamist threat" to justify its passivity and outright support for dictatorships. As resistance to Mubarak mounted, the Israeli government repeatedly called on Washington to back his junta against the popular will. Europe adopted a wait-and-see stance. Both attitudes are revealing: at the end of the day, lip-service to democratic principle carries little weight against the defence of political and economic interests. The United States prefers dictatorships that guarantee access to oil, and allow

Police are asking for the public’s help in tracking down a sport utility vehicle stolen from a 63-year-old woman in a violent carjacking that occurred last week.

It happened as the victim was visiting a home in the Keele Street and Beechborough Avenue area on Nov. 16 shortly after 7 p.m.

According to investigators, the woman was approached from behind by two people as she got out of the vehicle.

“They punched her in the face and kicked her, causing her to fall and lose consciousness,” police said in a media released issued Thursday afternoon.

The suspects fled toward Tretheway Drive in the stolen SUV, police said.

An image of a vehicle similar to the one stolen was provided by investigators in Thursday’s release. It is described as a black 2008LUCKNOW: Hours after the inauguration of a Rs 3,000-crore statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in Gujarat , BSP president Mayawati demanded an apology from those who had flayed her over the statues of dalit leaders her government had installed in Uttar Pradesh.“All those in the BJP, the RSS and company need to apologise, especially to the people of the Bahujan Samaj, for terming the statues installed by the then BSP government to honour icons like Baba Saheb Ambedkar and others as wasteful expenditure," she said in a statement."The people of the country are also wondering if all this is not politics, and if the BJP really had this love for Patel why had they not put up such a massive statue earlier in Gujarat where they are in


power for a long time," she said.The Bahujan Samaj Party chief paid tributes to Vallabhbhai Patel, known as the 'Iron man of India', on his 143rd birth anniversary.She said like Dalit leader Baba Saheb Ambedkar, Sardar Patel was also a nationalist and was widely respected.Mayawati questioned “the politics and faith” behind the English nomenclature of the statue of the country's first home minister, who she said was an example of Indian culture and traditions.The 182-metre ‘Statue of Unity' is the world's tallest, about twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in the US.The former UP chief minister said the “foreign stamp” on the construction of Patel's statue will always trouble Patel's followers.She accused the Bharatiya Janata Party and its government at the Centre of confining Patel toa region, saying this is an example of BJP's “narrow-mindedness”.The statue was dedicated to the nation on Wednesday by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gujarat's Kevadiya. It is built on Sadhu Bet islet near Sardar Sarovar Dam in Narmada district Modi slammed those criticising the decision to build the monument, questioning whether any crime had been committed by constructing such memorials for national heroes like Patel.Patel, the country's first home minister, is credited with merging over 500 princely states into the Union of India.

At the time of the stoppage, Klitschko had a lead on all three judges' scorecards (89–82, and 88–83 twice). Klitschko, who was later diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff, received much criticism for quitting the fight."

Now looking back, he could have continued, won, and damaged his shoulder beyond repair for ring return. Normally I agree they should continue, but fighters know their bodies, and Vitali is sports science PhD. Besides experience, and being able to think long-term, and a doctor in the field of his sport, I'd say what I thought at the time. For several minutes I was shocked. I then remember McClellan


you would never consider many years ago. Also, because now fighters seem to be fighting at much later ages, it makes sense to save a career and lose a fight. Vitali caught negative heat about being a quitter when he decided his shoulder was to bad to continue against Byrd. Here is the Wiki write-up."After the ninth round, Klitschko notified his corner that he had a shoulder pain and threw in the towel, thus handing Klitschko his first defeat and awarding Byrd the win by knockout. At the time of the stoppage, Klitschko had a lead on all three judges' scorecards (89–82, and 88–83 twice). Klitschko, who was later diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff, received much criticism for quitting the fight."

Now looking back, he could have continued,fine. IMHO anyway....

chris was the willie pep, the pernell whitaker, tommy loughran, wilfred benitez of the heavyweight division, but because he was a heavyweight that did not punch hard, he got more criticism than praise(at least on this side of the world, where everyone seems to only care about ko artists or brawlers) he would fight anyone any time, the problem was that most guys did not want to be made a fool of so for most of his career he was avoided. he lost to ike, who just might of been the best heavyweight in the world at the time and lost to wladimir (both who out weight him by 30 + pounds) in his prime, the rest of his loses were when he was past his


best and after had lost a half a step. in his prime he was one of the best defensive fighters to ever do it and had the skills to outpoint any fighter in the world on any given night and they all knew it.

BigPapa21: Ever hear the saying "the more you know, the worse things get"..., the point is being in sports science who knew all the possible problems that could cause permanent damage. Many fighters who aren't well versed in physiology would continue unaware of any long term risks. Just my opinion. Had he been ignorant to sports science, at the time I believe he continues. He had a serious brutal toe-to-toe fight with Lewis, and that fight made Lewis think it was retirement time, as heunder-estimated Vitali. I remember Lewis saying years ago, I could have stayed and just had to worry about 2 other opponents Vitali and his brother. Lewis felt that the fact wladimir had a chin not able to hold for twelve rounds as he had to losses in vicious fashion.thesoulpurpose: I remember Byrd got the decision win, but said live during the interview he clearly lost and wasn't ashamed to admit it. He said he would only be ashamed if he played stupid like so many other fighters do as puppets in the game of Kings and Pawns!

I thought by the way that Chris Bryd was a great fighter(boxer) that at the time NOBODY really wanted any part of. He had just enough power and was really quick with
