When Muhammad Ali passed away on June 4th, 2016, those who knew him, admired him, fought him and loved him attested to his singular skill as a boxer, his fleet footwork and his way with words (especially of the trash-talking variety). What was often emphasized the most in these tributes, however, was how Ali was as much a political firebrand as a gamechanging pugilist – both the 20th century's consummate athlete and a social activist willing to sacrifice his career by standing up for what he believed. This was the heavyweight champion...

Wanderlai Silva ran away from a drug test, forcing his Ufc 175 fight against Chael Sonnen to be cancelled, according to Sonnen on Ufc Tonight.
Sonnen had stated from the moment that his fight was announced that he believed Silva would end up backing out. Well, Sonnen was spot on in his assessment. Wanderlai will not be able to compete, officially due to a failure to get licensing in the state of Nevada. Stepping in for Silva to face Sonnen will be Vitor Belfort.
Nevada Athletic Commission Executive Director Robert Bennett told MMAFighting.com that Silva had “ample time” to secure his fighter’s license. MMAFighting also confirmed from numerous sources that Sonnen and Silva were asked to take an unannounced random drug test last week. Both guys were in town for the introductory news conference to announce the Ufc 175 card. Sonnen complied and took the test, while Silva refused.

Zombies are a lot more awesome when they can parkour. Here's a great video featuring a small group of "the flipping dead" making their way through a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
The zombie virus has evolved into a new breed of parkour zombies. No longer do they slumber as the walking dead, they are ferocious and fast, they are the flipping dead.
The Zombie Cbr stunt team includes Chris Romrell, Robert Bennett, Christain Russell, and Devon Bardole. It would actually be kind of fun to see a movie that has parkouring zombies. Check out the video!

The bump came mostly from option awards which Starz’s former parent, Liberty Media, was eager to award last year. The company feared that the feds might tinker with the corporate tax deduction for performance-based pay “in response to the widespread ‘fiscal cliff’ concerns,” Starz says in its first proxy as an independent company, filed today at the SEC. Liberty spun it off in January. CEO Chris Albrecht’s package consisted of $1M salary, $100,000 bonus, $11M in option awards, $750,000 in non-equity incentives, and $25,834 in other compensation. His total is 7.8 times the median for Starz’s other top executives, well above the level that causes concern among corporate governance activists that the CEO wields too much power. Liberty Chairman John Malone controls about 42.8% of Starz’s voting stock with additional shares held by allies Robert Bennett (3.2%) and Comcast (3.2%). That should make short work of the company’s annual meeting, to be held June 6 in Beverly Hills.

By Katy Bolger (NYULivewire) - On the side of Gray Mountain in northeast Arizona, Lorraine Curley lives alone in a two-room concrete home. Her roof is tarpaper and tin, and her bathroom is a wooden outhouse 50 feet from her door. Living without electricity or water is a way of life for Curley; she has, after all, been restricted by the Bennett Freeze, a law enacted in 1966 that prevented 18,000 reservation residents from repairing their homes, or building new ones, until the freeze was lifted in May 2009.
Curley would like a new home, and she.s not picky: It doesn.t need to have electricity or running water . a floor and insulation would be nice.
.Maybe I.ll never see a home,. she said. And at 79 years old, Curley is running out of time.
Curley is Diné, or Navajo, and like more than 180,000 others in her tribe, she lives on the reservation known as Navajo Nation,...
