| In addition to setting world records in the ongoing 2008 Olympic games in Beijing, several African and Caribbean athletes are going home with Gold medals.

Usain Bolt struck the 2008 men's Olympic 100m race and broke his 9.72 seconds world record, setting a new world record for 100m in Beijing! The Jamaican sprinter "bolted" home in a record 9.69 seconds with little effort, after slowing down towards the finishing line and pounding his chest in a reassuring way for securing his easy gold medal win.

Adu-Brempong, a geography Ph.D. candidate from Ghana, was shot by UPD Officer Keith Smith in his Corry Village apartment.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokesman Mike Morrison couldn’t say whether the video had much of an impact on the final report, which was completed Thursday but not released.
UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes noted the tragic nature of the incident at Corry Village but added that conclusions about the shooting cannot be drawn without a full set of facts.
The State Attorney still needs to analyze the case and make decisions about the actions of the officers involved and the actions of Adu-Brempong, Sikes wrote in an e-mail.
"Our thoughts and concerns continue to be with everyone affected including Kofi Adu-Brempong, the residents of Corry Village and the police officers," Sikes wrote. |
