Oscar De La Hoya Is "Beyond The Glory"! He Announced His Retirement Today!

Folks were wondering if Oscar De La Hoya would retire after he was beaten to a pulp by Manny Pacquiao last year.A lot of his fans wanted him to give up the fight before his illustrious career became tarnished by a serious losing streak.Now,he has announced that those fans will get their wish.Here's more from the L.A. Times:

"Oscar De La Hoya, boxing's "Golden Boy" who capitalized on a stirring Olympic gold-medal performance in 1992 and then in his pro career captured the attention of millions with his rags-to-riches rise from East Los Angeles, announced his retirement today.

"I'm announcing my retirement. . . . When I can't compete at my highest level, it's not fair -- to me, [or] my fans," De La Hoya, 36, said a news conference outside downtown's L.A. Live complex. "Knowing that you're never going to compete again is a tough decision, but now I am looking forward to the future of boxing. When I cannot compete at this level, I have come to the conclusion that it is over."

De La Hoya lost two of his last three fights: a split-decision defeat at the hands of unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. in May 20007 that stands as the most lucrative event in boxing history; and December's one-sided loss to Filipino Manny Pacquiao that dropped De La Hoya's career record to 39-6 with 30 knockouts."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Parish Records Have Been "Corrected" For An Atheist That Was Baptized As A Baby!

The following story just goes to show that you cannot impose religion on your child.All you can do is educate them about the existence of God & help them seek spirituality.Because it is important for them to know that they were created by a higher power.But,they may decide to reject those teachings & become an atheist.

There is a English atheist who wants to assert his belief that there is no God.He was baptised as a baby & now he wants the record to state that he did not agree to the procedure.He wants his baptismal records to be removed!
Here's more from the Telegraph:

"John Hunt, a newly qualified nurse, was baptised at the age of five months at the parish church of St Jude with St Aidin in Thornton Heath, south London.

As a schoolboy he decided he did not believe in God and stopped going to Sunday school aged 11.

Now 56 and living in Croydon, he said he wanted parish records amended to note he did not consent to the baptism in 1953.

He was told that his baptism cannot be deleted because it is a matter of historical record.

He then secured a "de-baptism" certificate produced by the National Secular Society (NSS), rejecting "superstitions" or the idea of original sin.

It reads: "I reject all its creeds and other such superstitions in particular the perfidious belief that any baby needs to be cleansed of original sin."

This week the church backed down and said the entry would be "corrected".

A representative of Southwark diocese told him: "I have spoken to the Archdeacon of Croydon and he has undertaken, in this particular case, to have it cross-referenced with the baptismal entry and pasted into the back fly-leaf of the relevant register at St Jude's Church." Dr Hunt, a former software engineer, said: "I am delighted that on this occasion the church are going to do what they said they would do."

He added: "It's about time that some of us stood up to be counted. I am hoping that others will follow my lead.

"It is important that we send a signal to the church and to the Government that an increasing proportion of the population don't place any faith in the various churches."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

"Prosecutors said Monday they may include rape and molestation allegations in their murder charge against the woman suspected of killing an 8-year-old Tracy girl and putting her body in a suitcase.

Melissa Huckaby, 28, was arrested Friday on suspicion of kidnapping and murdering Sandra Cantu.

San Joaquin County Deputy District Attorney Robert Himmelblau told The Associated Press on Monday that a homicide charge against Huckaby could also include the special circumstances of rape with a foreign object, lewd and lascivious conduct with a child and murder in the course of a kidnapping.

A conviction on any of the special circumstances would make Huckaby eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without parole, Himmelblau said. The district attorney has not determined whether his office will seek the death penalty in the case, he said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
