Getting his point across: As the @placeholder leaves the car park, the former boxer continues to berate the yobs | By Simon Tomlinson PUBLISHED: 07:57 EST, 13 November 2012 | UPDATED: 10:09 EST, 13 November 2012 A 22st pub landlord who was run down by thugs for trying to stop an alleged drugs deal was saved from potentially life-threatening injuries thanks to his beer belly, doctors have said. Tony Morgan, 44, the licensee of the Poachers Pocket in Chatham, Kent, was struck down when he confronted the crooks in his car park. Shocking CCTV shows the moment the suspects smashed their grey Peugeot 307 into the father-of-three, catapulting him 15ft into the air.

Debut to remember: Thomas Waldrom celebrates his first try in @placeholder colours | By Chris Foy for the Daily Mail Follow @@FoyChris Eurovision came to Oxford yesterday — not the daft costumes and dubious singing, but the embarrassment of ‘nil points’ for London Welsh, on their Aviva Premiership return. This was a chastening occasion for the promoted Exiles and for the competition as a whole. The numbers added up to a low-key mismatch, as Exeter rattled along to their first half-century in the top division, in front of a meagre crowd of just 2,776 spectators, despite new-season optimism and blue skies over the Kassam Stadium. The Premiership rightly prides itself on the abundance of close contests it produces, but this was a procession from the 11th minute, when Rob Baxter’s Chiefs struck for the first of their seven tries. By failing to trouble the scorers at their own ground, Welsh suffered the same indignity as Newcastle on the opening weekend last season, when Bath left Kingston Park with 21 unanswered points.

So it was, early on a recent afternoon, that I was walking east on 72nd Street, approaching Central Park West. I glanced to my left. To say the building is spooky is perhaps too easy. Yet everything about it -- the high gables, the balustrades, the gas lanterns burning even in the daytime, the black iron gates leading into the open interior courtyard -- seems purposely designed to give off an aura of portent.

The @placeholder is based on data "collected from broadband providers or other data sources," so it may be interesting to compare this map with the crowdsourced cell coverage maps I wrote about earlier this week. | (CNN) -- How's the broadband access in your community -- or perhaps in other places where you'd like to live, work or send your kids to school? Now you can look that information up via an interactive National Broadband Map, unveiled February 17 by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the Federal Communications Commission. It's one way to understand the current state of the digital divide. Broadband internet access is one of the main tools for businesses and people to get ahead or, increasingly, to access many basic services. But not all Americans have broadband access. In fact, a new telecommunications administration report, Digital Nation 2010, says that about one-third of U.S. households still lack a broadband internet connection. Furthermore, 5% to 10% of Americans only have access to internet services that are too slow to even support a basic set of online functions, such as downloading Web pages, photos or video.

High stakes: @placeholder defender Lugano described Thursday's game against England a 'life or death'. | By Matt Barlow Follow @@Matt_Barlow_DM The serene setting has echoes of England’s remote base in South Africa, isolated in the red-dirt countryside of a state mined for precious metals and gemstones. Yet behind the iron gates of the Uruguayan camp in Sete Lagoas, there has been great turmoil and upheaval and an inquest into Saturday’s humbling 3-1 defeat at the hands of Costa Rica. ‘We got really heated up after the game,’ said captain Diego Lugano and although the fury has since subsided it has been replaced by paranoia ahead of Thursday’s date with England.

I could hardly believe it when I received an email from her family, telling me of her violent death, plummeting from the roof of a 15-storey building in Beverly Hills, on the morning of January 22. Sandra had gone to Los Angeles to have a straightforward cosmetic surgery operation in a renowned Beverly Hills clinic. The operation lasted 13 hours, after which she was removed to a recovery room under 24-hour nursing supervision.

People of all ages voted, but in @placeholder at least, there was a clearly strong turnout of the younger generation. | Baghdad (CNN) -- Iraqis headed to the polls Saturday to vote in provincial elections nationwide, the first poll in which the country's forces provided security without the assistance of U.S. troops. Elections were held in most of Iraq's 18 governorates to replace local councils elected in 2009. Some provinces -- such as Anbar, Kirkuk and Nineveh -- did not hold elections because of insecurity. Bombs were detonated in the days preceding and up to the election, sometimes killing and injuring candidates. On Saturday, six people were wounded at election centers, four from bombs in Latafiya south of Baghdad and two from mortars in Tikrit north of the capital.

In a recent study, researchers found @placeholder in 34 of 35 deceased NFL players whose brains were donated by family members. | Star NFL linebacker Junior Seau -- just 43 years old when he took his own life last May -- suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a neurodegenerative brain disease that can follow multiple hits to the head, the National Institutes of Health said Thursday. Questions of CTE came up immediately after Seau's body was found, with a handgun nearby, in the bedroom of his home in Oceanside, California. CTE can result in Alzheimer's-like symptoms such as dementia, memory loss, aggression and depression, but it can be diagnosed only after death. In a statement issued Thursday, Seau's family said, "While the NIH's findings have provided a measure of comfort, we remain heartbroken that Junior is no longer with us, and are deeply saddened to receive confirmation that he suffered from such a debilitating condition.
