May 29, 2017 big 12, college baseball, lsu, ncaa tournament, SEC, sports, tcu, texas, texas longhorns, texas tech. |
The 16 regional sites will be announced Sunday night at 7:30 Central on the NCAA’s Facebook page. |
Big 12 co-champions Texas Tech and TCU definitely will be among the 16 regional hosts and almost assuredly will be top-eight national seeds (setting up possible host roles for super regionals). |
Texas has played its way into the conversation to host one of the 16 four-team regionals next week. The Longhorns play Oklahoma State in the Big 12 Tournament championship game Sunday at 1 p.m. in Oklahoma City. |
The full NCAA field of 64 will be revealed Monday at 11 a.m. Central on ESPN2. |
The regionals will be Friday, June 2, through Monday, June 5. |
Likely NCAA national seeds: Oregon State … North Carolina … Texas Tech … Florida … LSU … TCU … Louisville. |
A Florida woman has been arrested in the decades-old disappearance of her 3-year-old son, who is believed to have been murdered, police said. |
Amy Elizabeth Fleming, 60, of Dania Beach, was arrested Jan. 29 in Boca Raton on an out-of-state fugitive warrant from North Las Vegas, according to Palm Beach County court records. She is charged with felony murder. |
KSNV in Las Vegas reported that Fleming is charged with the 1986 homicide of her 3-year-old son, Francillon Pierre, who was known by the nickname “Yo-yo.” Fleming waived extradition Feb. 1 and, as of Monday, was in the process of being extradited to Clark County, Nevada. |
The Associated Press reported Monday that the boy’s body has not been found, but investigators have obtained new statements from witnesses who allege that Fleming killed her son. North Las Vegas police officials have declined to say how they believe Francillon died. |
According to the Charley Project, an organization that profiles about 10,000 missing persons cases in the U.S., Fleming, who in 1986 went by the name Amy Luster, told police her son vanished Aug. 2, 1986, from the Broad Acres Swap Meet in North Las Vegas. At the time of his disappearance, Francillon lived with a then-2... |
Lee Luster, the other person of interest in the case, has not been charged in connection with the boy’s death, the AP reported. |
Francillon’s biological father, Jean Pierre, was Amy Luster’s former boyfriend, the Charley Project said. |
When the toddler vanished, Amy and Lee Luster were awaiting trial on felony child abuse charges stemming from a December 1985 case in which Francillon was found to have 30 to 40 welts on his 32-pound body, the Charley Project reported. |
The Associated Press reported the couple eventually pleaded guilty to the abuse charges and each served five years of probation. |
Francillon Pierre is pictured as he might look at age 29 in an age-progression photo created in 2012. Pierre was 3 years old when he was reported missing Aug. 2, 1986, from the Broad Acres Swap Meet in North Las Vegas. Pierre was never found, but his mother, Amy Elizabeth Fleming, right, was arrested Jan. 29, 2019, in ... |
About a month later, the couple tried to sell some of the boy’s toys in a garage sale to help pay for a trip they planned to Seattle, the website said. The garage sale was canceled after local media reported about it. |
George Knapp, a reporter with 8 News Now in Las Vegas, recalled the story of the missing boy with the beautiful smile. |
The Charley Project reported Amy and Lee Luster blamed Francillon’s disappearance on his biological father, who lived in Haiti when his son vanished. |
The Lusters were considered suspects in Francillon’s disappearance but were never charged, the Charley Project said on the boy’s page, which was last updated in 2012. The couple married and moved to Boca Raton about 11 months after the boy went missing, claiming they did so to be closer to Haiti. |
They said they still believed Pierre had abducted his son. |
Knapp said police -- and the public -- were skeptical of the Lusters’ story from the start. |
“The suspicion was that they had taken their anger out on him one last time and it went too far,” Knapp said. |
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – The Aggie football team returned to the practice field for week three of spring drills this evening. |
The team held a scrimmage Friday night, giving Jimbo Fisher a chance to evaluate his team in a game-like situation. |
As a national championship winning coach, Fisher knows what kind of players he has to have to compete for a title. |
As of now, he says this team isn't at that level yet. |
"No where close with guys that can play championship level football," Fisher said. "We have some guys but we've got to get a lot more. Some of 'em it's just youth, some of 'em are getting put in situations they've never been in. Some guys are having to take roles they've never been in, whatever it may be. If you're the... |
Texas A&M will take Tuesday off then hit the field for spring workout number nine on Wednesday. |
Chinese police officers and paramilitary policemen patrol a street in Kashgar city, July 23, 2014. |
At least 18 people are dead following a knife and bomb attack by a group of ethnic Uyghurs on a police traffic checkpoint in northwestern China’s troubled Xinjiang region, sources said Tuesday, amid harsh restrictions on observance of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. |
One source said the incident, which occurred Monday in the Tahtakoruk district of southwestern Xinjiang’s Kashgar (in Chinese, Kashi) city, left as many as 28 people dead, several of whom were bystanders. |
The attack began when a car sped through a traffic checkpoint without stopping, Turghun Memet, an officer with the nearby Heyhag district police station told RFA’s Uyghur Service. |
“When one of the policemen at the checkpoint ran out of the booth, the car backed up, hitting him and breaking his leg,” Memet said. |
“Two other suspects then rushed out of the car, using knives to attack and kill two police officers who had come to rescue their comrade,” he said. |
The remaining traffic police, who do not carry guns, called for backup from Memet’s department and the People’s Armed Police (PAP). |
“By the time armed police reached the scene, three more suspects had arrived by sidecar motorcycle and attacked the checkpoint and police cars with explosives, killing one regular police officer, another traffic policeman and one auxiliary officer,” Memet said. |
“They also injured four other officers and damaged a police vehicle,” he said. |
Memet said the car used by the attackers had displayed a license plate from Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture’s Atush (in Chinese, Atushi) city, but he was told they were residents of Kashgar prefecture’s Yengisheher (Shule) and Peyziwat (Jiashi) counties. |
“The security is tight in [downtown Kashgar], so they chose to attack an area on the outskirts of the city,” he said. |
A police officer from Kashgar’s Ostengboyi station, near the site of the attack, confirmed the incident to RFA, but said it was unclear how many people had died. |
“The number of the dead varies even among the police—especially when it comes to the number of female suspects,” the officer said on condition of anonymity, adding that he had heard either three or eight women were involved in the attack. |
“Some are saying that all of the suspects were killed, while others say some were injured and taken to the hospital for treatment,” he said. |
The officer noted that the attack occurred during the sensitive month of Ramadan and had “a massive effect” on the inhabitants of the city. |
An officer from the Qoghan police station, which has jurisdiction over the site of the incident, also said the attackers were from Yengisheher and Peyziwat counties, but decided to target Kashgar because the city is more populated. |
“I assume that they intended to do more damage in a bigger crowd in Kashgar city,” he said, adding that an investigation into the attack was ongoing. |
A food vendor who works near where the attack occurred said the sound of explosions and prolonged gunfire prompted him to open his shop door a crack so he could see what was happening. |
“It seems the police who arrived at the spot were either panicked or encouraged by the ‘strike hard’ policy, because they opened fire indiscriminately and many people who were not linked to the attackers got killed,” he said. |
Authorities have launched a “strike hard” campaign in Xinjiang in the name of fighting separatism, religious extremism, and terrorism, following a string of violent incidents that have left hundreds dead in recent years. |
“I think this is the first reaction to this year’s Ramadan restrictions,” he said. |
The attack comes a week after millions of Uyghurs began observance of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan under increasing official pressure not to fast. |
Uyghur officials and other state employees like teachers have been banned from fasting, and it is against the law for children under 18 to take part in religious activities. |
Restaurants in the region are typically required to stay open all day, even if the owners are Muslim, and Uyghur children and young people are often required to attend free lunches in the region's schools and universities to avoid the dawn-to-dusk fast traditionally observed during Ramadan. |
Turkic-speaking minority Uyghurs have complained about pervasive ethnic discrimination, religious repression, and cultural suppression by Chinese authorities. |
Last October, authorities tightened rules forbidding anyone under the age of 18 from following a religion, targeting families whose children studied the Quran or fasted during Ramadan with hefty fines. |
Authorities in the Hotan, Kashgar, and Aksu prefectures of Xinjiang have forced Uyghur parents to sign pledges promising not to allow their children to participate in religious activities, the Germany-based World Uyghur Congress exile group has said. |
It's seems there a lot of comments from 50 Cent Party members on this forum. China acknowledges the existence of paid online commentators dubbed 50 Cent or 50 Yuan Party. The CCP is waging a war against the Uighur people. Some Uighurs are fighting back. The more the CCP represses the Uighurs, the more resistance they w... |
I live in Urumchi in Xinjiang and my work takes me throughout the Province. I work and associate with a lot of Muslims, both Uyghur and Hui Chinese. I've yet to see or hear about any restrictions placed on Ramadan by the authorities. In the 4 years I've been here all the Muslim holidays have been respected. Obviously t... |

The Chinese Government need to find out who is paying these extremists - the reason is obvious and doesn't need ID but they have unlimited resources to destabilize whole countries let alone borders. They must be rooted out and dealt with appropriately. |

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Quentin Tarantino (search) has produced his share of action-packed, thrilling moments. For once, he was just along for the ride. Tarantino, a NASCAR (search) novice, was treated to several hair-raising laps in a stock car Saturday that left the eccentric film director speechless at Bristol Motor Speedw... |
"Yeah, baby! That's what I'm talking about!" he yelled after several seconds of silence. "That was incredible. I didn't 100 percent know what to expect when I got here. I was very open to be intoxicated, and I most definitely was." |
Tarantino was introduced to NASCAR by good friend Mauricia Grant, a Busch Series official who lives near him in Hollywood. When he asked her about attending a race, she encouraged him to choose Bristol — a short track where the bumping, banging and post-race altercations can be as intense as an action scene from "Pulp ... |
She also arranged for him to take a ride with TNT commentator Wally Dallenbach, who drives a celebrity around the track each week as part of his "Wally's World" segment. Recent ride-along partners have ranged from actors Ben Affleck (search), Jamie Foxx (search), David Spade (search) and singer Lisa Marie Presley ... |
"You're not going to whine after this ride like Lisa Marie Presley, are you?" Dallenbach asked during the warm-up laps. |
There was no whining when it was over. Just a brief silence as Tarantino soaked in the adrenaline rush. After, he said he asked Dallenbach to make the ride as scary as possible with close-calls with the Bristol walls. |
"Ben Affleck, he looked like a little girl!," Tarantino said. "When I saw Ben Affleck and Dave Spade acting like little girls, I said I got this one. I'm all good. I don't have to worry about nothing. |
"That part that was in the wall, that was the bomb. I wanted a lot of wall time and Wally gave me the wall time." |
Tarantino's day didn't end with his ride. After watching Friday night's Busch race from one of the suites — he said he rooted for Kevin Harvick (search) and had been cheering on Harvick to "crash (Greg Biffle) into the wall" — he was scheduled to stick around for Saturday night's main event and watc... |
But it was clear that Tarantino was hooked. He was making plans to take a lesson in the Richard Petty Driving Experience next week at California Speedway, and possibly attend the race. |
"I love it," he said. "This is, in one word — adrenaline." |
Vodafone has been stuck in a disappointing third place in the UK mobile battle, losing to EE and O2, however Vodafone UK CEO Jeroen Hoencamp does not believe this is due to the lack of 4G LTE support. |
According to Hoencamp, all customers care about is a strong consistent connection, regardless of speed. He even claims that any speeds over 20Mbps are pointless on mobile, saying "even for streaming video you only need a couple of megabits per second." |
On the Vodafone blog, Hoencamp claims "Many customers don’t care what 4G is. All customers want is consistency, so that wherever they go they have strong signal, so that they can do what they want wherever they are." |
Hoencamp says a low-end spectrum is more important in maintaining a consistent connection and Vodafone could have invested in a 300Mbps network but did not want to due to the limitations of mobile. |
His claims are quite rash, considering EE has gone from a brand new entity to the largest 4G LTE network in under three years, thanks in part to its aggressive marketing of 4G speeds with Kevin Bacon. |
O2 has also invested heavily in 4G LTE technologies, making its service capable of speeds over 100Mbps. Even fourth place provider Three UK has invested in 4G technologies, making Vodafone a lone-wolf with 3G-only plans. |
Vodafone is only a few million subscribers behind O2 and EE, however, and the adoption of 4G LTE packages remains small, with EE far ahead at 6 million subscribers. |
But, as Vodafone maintains a rather lackluster 45Mbps limitation, EE is investing in technologies for over 450Mbps of speed. |
The caution of Vodafone might allow them to build the most consistent network in the UK, but that is not going to matter when people actually want to access higher quality video or online games through mobile. |
