New York man dies during freedive competition in Bahamas

A record-holding diver died during a freediving competition in the Bahamas on Sunday. In what officials have said is the first fatality in the sport's 21 years of official competition. American diver Nicholas Mevoli, a 32 year-old of Brooklyn, New York is the victim, was conscious when he surfaced from his 72-meter (236-foot) dive. Which is done without oxygen or fins, but he then blacked out about 30 seconds later, according to the statement by Vertical Blue, which are the ones who ran the freediving event in the Bahamas. His death appears connected to lung damage suffered during the dive. This also marks the first time a competitor has ever died during an officially sanctioned event in 21 years of more than 35,000 competitive dives.There were signs of trouble almost immediately as he surfaced, as the 32-year-old's eyes were blank and his words incoherent, the Times reported. He was then dragged onto a nearby platform and began vomiting blood into the sea, the Times reported. "He lost consciousness, and in spite of great efforts by the doctor and paramedic on site, failed to recover after reaching the local hospital," the AIDA statement said. "Nick appears to have suffered from a depth-related injury to his lungs."Mevoli, who had set a freediving record shortly after taking up the sport competitively in 2012, was described by AIDA as an "extraordinary talent."The competition was halted after his death then.

But the Ron Wilson who actually endorsed him was Dave's cousin Ron, not the former state representative. On Tuesday defeated Bruce Austin, who is a 24 year-old African-American by just 26 votes. Austin called Wilson's tactics disgusting, "I don't think it's good for both democracy and the whole concept of fair play," he also went on to say. "This is one of the few times a white guy has pretended to be a black guy and fooled black people." But Wilson, who won a six-year term on the nine-member board, is unapologetic about any of it."Every time a politician talks, he's out there deceiving voters," Wilson said. Austin also did say he would seek a recount of the votes.

Toronto mayor admits to smoking crack

The Mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford said he smoked crack "probably a year ago" when he was in a "drunken stupor". He admits this months after being accused of all this during which he has refused to step down. The allegations that he had been caught on video smoking crack camp up in May. Ford initially insisted the video didn't exist and avoided the questions about whether he had ever smoked crack. He was finally forced to backtrack after police said recently they had obtained a copy of the video, which still has not been released publicly. He was quoted saying "Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine," he told reporters outside his office. "There have been times when I've been in a drunken stupor. That's why I want to see the tape. I want everyone in the city to see this tape. I don't even recall there being a tape or video. I want to see the state that I was in." He had previously apologized for his excessive drinking and other mistakes but will still not step down even with all the pressure he has of people saying he should. He had been avoiding the questions about if he had ever smoked crack until now.
