Johnson defends flyweight title beating Moraga
SEATTLE (AP) ? Demetrious Johnson used an armbar on John Moraga late in the fifth round and successfully defended his UFC flyweight championship with a submission victory Saturday night before a partisan hometown crowd.
Johnson, making the second defense of the flyweight crown, controlled most of the fight, then ended it at 3:43 of the fifth round, bending Moraga's right arm to the point referee Herb Dean stopped the fight. Johnson (18-2-1) leaped to his feet with four spinning kicks in the center of the ring to celebrate his title defense.
The co-main event saw young Canadian star Rory MacDonald (15-1) take a unanimous decision over Jake Ellenberger (29-7) in a welterweight fight that left the crowd cascading boos after the much-anticipated matchup failed to live up to its billing. But MacDonald's strategy of avoiding Ellenberger's big punches worked and ran his winning streak to five.
In other fights on the main card, Robbie Lawler used a huge kick to floor Bobby Voelker in a second-round knockout. Liz Carmouche also had a second-round victory, stopping Brazil's Jessica Andrade in her UFC debut.
It was a dominant performance for Johnson, fighting less than an hour from his home in Parkland. From the start, Johnson had the home crowd on his side as the chant of "Mighty Mouse! Mighty Mouse!" ? Johnson's nickname ? started almost immediately.
Johnson controlled the fight with takedowns and retaining top control. He nearly got a choke submission on Moraga at the end of the first round, then pinned Moraga's arms and unloaded punches to his stomach in the second. Johnson regularly took Moraga (13-2) to the mat and nearly ended the fight with an armbar submission late in the third round, only to see Moraga slide free.
Moraga's best chance in the fight came late in the fourth round when he caught Johnson with a right hand that stunned the champion. Johnson stumbled back against cage, but quickly regained control, bouncing off the fencing and taking the charging Moraga to the mat. The punch left Johnson's nose bloodied, but the champion never let Moraga mount any offense in the final round and was finally able to get the armbar on Moraga.
MacDonald entered the No. 3 ranked contender in the 170-pound welterweight division, while Ellenberger was ranked No. 4. It wasn't an elimination bout for a shot at champion Georges St. Pierre, especially because MacDonald has said numerous times he has no interest in fighting his training partner and mentor.
The fight might have been boring, but MacDonald was determined not to get caught by Ellenberger's noted punches.
Ellenberger got a few shots in early as blood started trickling from MacDonald's nose late in the first round, but that was the extent of the excitement for the first 10 minutes. The tactical first two rounds drew loud boos from the unhappy crowd, with MacDonald landing most of the punches that were thrown.
Ellenberger recorded a takedown with 1 minute left in the fight, but MacDonald's ground defense was excellent. MacDonald winning 30-27 on two scorecards and 29-28 on the other.
Lawler was impressive in his victory. Within the first 2 minutes, Voelker's nose was bloodied as Lawler (21-9) landed an array of hooks, high knees and kicks to Voelker's face. Voelker (24-10) made it through the first round barely, but didn't last long in the second. Lawler landed a left-footed kick to the side of Voelker's head that sent him to the canvas and two punches later the fight was over at 24 seconds of the second round.
Andrade (9-3) was making her UFC debut coming up from Brazil, while Carmouche was a headliner just a few months ago when she lost to women's champ Ronda Rousey at UFC 157. Carmouche (8-3) gained control and started landing heavy punches early in the second round. Carmouche spent more than 2 minutes battering Andrade's head before the fight was finally stopped at 3:57 of the second round.

Parkland community garden celebrates success

Posted on July 27, 2013 at 11:54 PM
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) ? It?s been three months since the Parkland Community Garden opened and Councilwoman Attica Scott invited the community on its progression.
The goal is to encourage healthy living and eating by teaching people in urban neighborhoods how to grown their own fresh food.
?We live on Hazel Street, we?ve grown up in the Parkland community and just to see the revitalization going on and interested neighbors, it?s wonderful,? resident Mary Agnew said.
Now that the community garden has proven its success, volunteers are expanding it to add 6 new raised beds.
There are also talks of doing the same thing in the southwest part of district one.

Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn to be tried for pimping
By Alexandria Sage and Chine Labbe, Reuters
Former International Monetary Fund head Dominique Strauss-Kahn will be tried on charges of pimping, prosecutors said on Friday, capping an inquiry into sex parties attended by a man whose French presidential hopes were dashed by a separate 2011 U.S. sex scandal.
Prosecutors in the northern city of Lille said investigating judges had determined that Strauss-Kahn, 64, who has been under investigation in the case since 2012, should be judged by a criminal court.
The decision came as a surprise after a public prosecutor had recommended in June that the inquiry be dropped without trial.
"We're not in the realm of the law, we're in ideology. We're sending someone to court for nothing," said Henri Leclerc, one of Strauss-Kahn's lawyers.
The so-called Carlton affair, named after a hotel in Lille, involves sex parties that Strauss-Kahn has acknowledged attending.
He says he was unaware that the women who participated were prostitutes.
Strauss-Kahn is charged with "aggravated pimping." Pimping under French law is a broad crime that can encompass aiding or encouraging the act of prostitution. Strauss-Kahn was charged with the more serious form because it allegedly involved more than one prostitute.
The crime carries a maximum term of 10 years in prison and a fine of 1.5 million euros ($2 million).
The former French finance minister quit his post as head of the IMF in 2011 after being accused of raping a maid in New York, a charge that was later dropped.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) ? A system of thunderstorms across western North Carolina stalled on Saturday and dumped about a foot of rain on the area, causing power outages and flash floods that swamped homes and washed out roads and bridges.
There were 18 reports of swift-water rescues, and one minor injury, said Jim Dickerson, spokesman for Catawba County Emergency Services. He did not have details.
Hickory Mayor Rudy Wright urged residents to stay indoors and away from flooded roads, The Charlotte Observer reported (http://bit.ly/1buP7OY).
"This is a time for all of us to be very careful and patient," he said. "The cleanup is going to take a while."
Parts of Catawba and surrounding counties were under water Saturday. Catawba County officials said some of the worst flash flooding in decades followed a nearly stationary weather system that dumped 10 inches of rain in about six hours.
Officials closed 65 roads in Catawba County by Saturday afternoon. At least six will remain closed for up to three months to repair damage, Dickerson said.
A full damage assessment will begin Sunday, he said.
High Shoals Lake in Catawba County rose nearly five feet over a 10-hour span. Officials said high water will move down the Catawba River later Saturday, possibly causing more flooding. The rain had stopped in the area by late afternoon Saturday. The National Weather Service said the heavy rain will move east across the western piedmont of North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina.
Several miles of Interstate 85 in Cabarrus County was closed for a short time due to high water. Traffic moved at a crawl along both I-85 and Interstate 77 north of Charlotte as drivers navigated water several inches deep in spots. In Lincoln County, there were reports of up to three feet of water covering roads.
Duke Energy reported about 5,000 power outages.
It is at least the fourth major flash flooding event in the Charlotte region in the past month. Highway officials already are working to repair more than a dozen Charlotte-area roads damaged by previous flooding.
