Monday's intriguing people

Albertina Sisulu

The mother of South Africa’s anti-apartheid movement has died. According to the New York Times, “MaSisulu,” as she was known throughout the movement, was 92 years old. As the wife of Walter Sisulu, an anti-apartheid activist and mentor to Nelson Mandela, she supported him during 26 years of imprisonment on Robben Island, often being imprisoned and harassed herself. In 1956, she organized the historic protest by 20,000 women that is now marked each August 9 as a national holiday called Women’s Day , the New York Times reported. In 1994, she was elected to South Africa’s parliament, where her son, Max, is now speaker of the National Assembly. Daughter Lindiwe Sisulu serves as the nation’s defense minister, and another daughter, Beryl, is the country’s ambassador to Norway. Walter Sisulu died in 2003.

Plaxico Burress

After serving almost two years on gun-related charges, the former New York Giants wide receiver left the Oneida Correctional Facility in Rome, New York, on Monday morning. According to ESPN, agent Drew Rosenhaus is "going to be open to all 32 teams in the NFL." However, Brandon Jacobs, a Giant and one of Burress' friends, suggested that Burress might play with the Philadelphia Eagles , who employ another rehabilitated felon: quarterback Michael Vick.

The hair in question was recovered after Anthony's car was picked up from her family's home, after it had been abandoned in a parking lot, towed to an impound lot and then driven back to the family home two weeks later by Anthony's father.

According to testimony, Anthony asked her boyfriend to pick her up from the parking lot on June 27, saying the car had run out of gas. She also told a friend that she believed an animal carcass was lodged in her car's frame.

The car was towed to an impound lot on June 30, 2008, where a manager said he also smelled the odor of decomposition.

The heats are subdivided into three categories, small dogs, large dogs and tandem dogs. Judges look for confidence in the four legged surfers as well as a long wave ride and a good sense of fashion.

“I’m looking out there to see how those dogs can grip it and rip it and how they balance. I also like to see a little bit of style, so, how do they look on the board. And then, what always puts things over the top for me is, do they ride the board a little bit, can they get up and down and kind of walk back and forth,” said Kathleen Cochran, General Manager of Loews Coronado Bay Resort and event judge. “It’s really a lot of fun.”

This year’s first place winners under the small dog category, Michael Uy and his Australian Kelpie, Abbie Girl, also took home third place under the category of tandem dogs. This is the second time the duo, who have been surfing for four years, take home the first place prize.

“We just try to have a good time. It was just a blast. The conditions were amazing today so we had a great time,” said Uy.
