AN ugly war of words has broken out between sprinting’s two greatest names, after Usain Bolt lashed nine-time Olympic gold medallist Carl Lewis for suggesting his performances were helped by drugs.

Bolt launched an astonishing tirade against Lewis after his 200m final win over teammate Yohan Blake, saying he had lost all respect for Lewis.

American great Lewis, who won five sprint gold medals and four long jump golds, had inferred the drug link when he said ”time will tell” when asked to assess Bolt’s times.

Bolt had already declared his times were not drug-assisted when he was asked to compare himself to Olympic great Lewis.

”Carl Lewis, I have no respect for him,” Bolt said.

”The things he says about track athletes are very downgrading for us. I think he is looking for attention because no one talks about him. I think it was really sad when I heard the other day what he was saying. For me, I have lost all respect for him, all respect.

– The woman was stripped naked and made to carry the corpse of the dead boy around her area. The sad incident happened on Sunday on Amosu Street, Ijegun, in Lagos.

The woman known locally as Iya Anu beat her 16 year old foster son, Seubow, to death for allegedly stealing N50. Seybow was Iya Anu’s husband’s nephew.

According to neighbours, trouble started after Seubow lost the N1,000 given to him by Iya Anu to run an errand for her some days back. Angered by the loss which she claimed was theft, the woman refused to feed Seubow for over four days. When the teenager couldn’t take the hunger anymore, he sneaked out to buy gala one night. When Iya Anu found out, she accused him of stealing her N50 and beat him up, using a rod. She battered him for days until he gave the ghost on Sunday afternoon.
After his death, neighbours rounded the woman up and made her carry the boy’s corpse to the police station. If only the neighbours had intervened earlier. This wasn’t the first she would batter him. The photo on the right was taken in June at a police station where Iya Anu was taken to after seriously battering the boy. No one came to his rescue and he ended up dying in her hands. Sad!

COOPER CITY (CBSMiami) — A car burglary Sunday morning turned into a hit-and-run accident that left two bicyclists dead.

According to the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the two riders were traveling near the intersection of Palm Avenue and Sheridan Street when a person in a silver Infiniti crashed in to a another car before spinning out and slamming in to the cyclists.

The two cyclists died on scene, according to paramedics. Detectives say the driver of the Infiniti bailed.

Detectives have not yet released the names of the victims, but by Sunday afternoon, a small memorial had already popped up.

Cyclist Lou Gonzalez said he knew the two riders who died.

“They’ve been doing it for 25 years,” Gonzalez said. “This was their normal route.”

Gonzalez wasn’t sure if the victims’ families were aware.

“It’s hard because we spend a lot of time making sure we’re safe,” Gonzalez said. “We wear our helmets. We obey all the traffic rules.”

The Broward Sheriff’s Office said this all may have started as a car break-in in the Rock Creek neighborhood, about a mile and a half northwest of the crash site.

“Someone attempting to get in to the back of the house through the sliding doors couldn’t get in because two big dogs were inside and scared them,” neighbor Zona Horton said. “But it didn’t scare them enough to try to go in to their car and start taking things out of his vehicle. And he happened to be at the end of the block and he saw them.”

Police were called to that scene just after 7 a.m. Sunday.

“An astute victim actually saw somebody burglarizing his car,” BSO spokeswoman Dani Moschella said. “He jumps in to his own car and is able to point out the suspect to deputies.”

Authorities say one suspect was apprehended at that scene, but another managed to get away a silver Infiniti.

Detectives believe that’s the same car involved in the deadly wreck at Palm Ave. and Sheridan St

Police said the driver bailed, prompting a search that included a chopper and K-9 units from neighboring jurisdictions.

“A Pembroke Pines Police officer located that possible person of interest traveling on foot,” Moschella said. “He was taken in to custody. He has not been charged at this point.”

Riders stopped by the scene Sunday afternoon to pay their respects. They said the victims died doing what they love.

“We ride everyday because we want to be healthy,” Gonzalez said. “We want to be there for our families. And for something like this to happen. It’s very hard for us to take.”

Two passengers in the red Toyota also struck in the crash were not seriously hurt. They were transported to the hospital for treatment.

Psalm 111[a]

1 Praise the Lord.[b]
I will extol the Lord with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

and his righteousness endures forever.
4 He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and compassionate.
5 He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.
6 He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.
7 The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.
8 They are established for ever and ever,
enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
9 He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
