ANSWERS AWAITING TYSON.(SPORTS)

Byline: TIMOTHY W. SMITH New York Times

LAS VEGAS -- Francois Botha said he had been thinking about Mike Tyson a lot in the last four months. He did not say whether those thoughts included any deep concerns over his own personal safety once the two meet in the ring here at the MGM Grand tonight.

But during the weigh-in on Thursday, with both fighters stripped down to their black briefs, Botha, who outweighed Tyson by 10 pounds, was struck with a revelation.

``This guy is not so big,'' Botha said.

Byline: Rodd Zolkos

This year's hurricane season has understandably prompted a lot of talk about the viability of various catastrophe models and weather predicting techniques.

Even more challenging questions are being asked about such topics as climate change, the warming of the oceans, global temperature increases and their potential impact on everything from future hurricane seasons to home heating bills.

Setting aside the argument over whether what's happening is the result of greenhouse gases or simply a natural cycle that we haven't experienced since weather records started being kept, there's a lot of people who sure would like to know just what the …

Over 1.2km of illegal power cables were uncovered in the Witsand informal settlement in Atlantis, Cape Town metals theft unit Copperheads said yesterday.

Over 1.2km of illegal power cables were uncovered in the Witsand informal settlement in Atlantis, Cape Town metals theft unit Copperheads said yesterday.

Copperheads chief Neil Arendse said the cables were being used to draw power from two street lights in Christopher Stark Road to homes in the settlement.

The unit dug trenches to remove the cables on Monday.

He said the total length of cable was valued at R13 000.

About 800 metres of the cables were identified as aluminium bundling cables that belonged to the city. The other 400m were standard household copper cables. No arrests had been made.

Human trafficker Adina dos Santos was sentenced to life imprisonment at the Pretoria Regional Court in Gauteng, the Hawks said yesterday.

Hawks spokesman McIntosh Polela said she was sentenced on Tuesday after she was found guilty of trafficking three girls from Mozambique in February 2008.

The girls, who were between 14 and 17 years old at the time, were kept at a house in Moreleta outside Pretoria and were forced into prostitution by Dos Santos, he said.

Dos Santos was also given a one-year sentence for living off the money she had made from the girls.

The girls, who returned to Mozambique after testifying against Dos Santos, were in court when the sentence was handed down.

Polela said the SA Police Service hoped the sentence would send a clear message to those who trafficked young girls and profited from their sexual exploitation.
