El-Baradei hails new era on Day Six of Egypt fury
via news.yahoo.com
Top dissident Mohamed ElBaradei told a sea of angry protesters in Cairo on Sunday that they were beginning a new era after six days of a deadly revolt against embattled President Hosni Mubarak. But despite the anticipation of change, Mubarak ordered police back on the streets after they had largely disappeared over the past two days following street battles with protesters. He also extended a curfew in key cities. Nobel peace laureate ElBaradei, mandated by Egyptian opposition groups including the banned Muslim Brotherhood to negotiate with Mubarak's regime, hailed "a new Egypt in which every Egyptian lives in freedom and dignity."

Holyfield, Williams fight ruled no-contest
This is why boxing is in such bad shape. A 48-year-old has been heavyweight champion fighting a guy who hadn't fought since 2009....on pay per view. Sadly there is a market for this kind of crap, still:
The 48-year-old Holyfield (43-10-2) was cut in the second round when Williams' head made contact just above Holyfield's left eye. The four-time heavyweight champion came out for the third round, and Williams (34-11-2) staggered him with several overhand punches. Before the fourth round could, the start the fight was stopped and rule a no-contest. Holyfield didn't protest the decision.
Ron Paul, Ralph Nader agree on ‘progressive-libertarian alliance’
Another voice not part of the two-party system. They will provide more debate on what's wrong with our government.
In this corner, a libertarian, tea party hero who ran several campaigns as a candidate for US president on the Republican ticket. And in that corner, a progressive icon of the left who also ran several campaigns for the US presidency but on the Green Party ticket.
Nader, who has recently called this coalition "the most exciting new political dynamic" in the US today, explained that it works well because both groups stand against corporatists who believe government should be run in the interests of corporations.
