Cricket-Former England captain Denness dies aged 72
LONDON, April 19 (Reuters) - Mike Denness, the only Scotsman to captain England, has died of cancer at the age of 72, the BBC reported on Friday.
Denness, a stylish right-hander who led England in 19 of his 28 tests, dropped himself for the fourth test at Sydney on the 1974-75 tour of Australia after he was unable to cope with the pace and fury of quick bowlers Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson.
He scored 188 in the final match at Melbourne but Thomson was absent through injury and Lillee bowled only six overs before breaking down.
Both bowlers were back in action in the first test of the 1975 series, which Australia won by an innings on a rain-affected pitch, and Denness did not represent England again.
After retiring, Denness became a match referee but his decision to sanction six Indian players, including Sachin Tendulkar, during a test against South Africa in Port Elizabeth in 2001-02 sparked a row that led to both teams barring him from officiating in the next match.

Salt Lake City, Utah The greatest threat of a tsunami for the U.S. east coast from a nearby offshore earthquake stretches from the coast of New England to New Jersey, according to John Ebel of Boston College, who presented his findings today at the Seismological Society of America 2013 Annual Meeting.
The potential for an East Coast tsunami has come under greater scrutiny after a 2012 earthquake swarm that occurred offshore about 280 kilometers (170 miles) east of Boston. The largest earthquake in the 15-earthquake swarm, most of which occurred on April 12, 2012, was magnitude (M) 4.0.
In 2012 several other earthquakes were detected on the edge of the Atlantic continental shelf of North America, with magnitudes between 2 and 3.5. These quakes occurred off the coast of southern Newfoundland and south of Cape Cod, as well as in the area of the April swarm. All of these areas have experienced other earthquake activity in the past few decades prior to 2012.
The setting for these earthquakes, at the edge of the continental shelf, is similar to that of the 1929 M7.3 Grand Banks earthquake, which triggered a 10-meter tsunami along southern Newfoundland and left tens of thousands of residents homeless.
Ebel's preliminary findings suggest the possibility than an earthquake-triggered tsunami could affect the northeast coast of the U.S. The evidence he cites is the similarity in tectonic settings of the U.S. offshore earthquakes and the major Canadian earthquake in 1929. More research is necessary, says Ebel, to develop a more refined hazard assessment of the probability of a strong offshore earthquake along the northeastern U.S. coast.

BOSTON BOMBING SUSPECT ARRESTED - Business Insider
REUTERS |
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in police custody after multiple clashes with the police during a nearly 24-hour manhunt.
The suspect is said to be "Alive, conscious, captured," according to the?Boston Globe.?NBC?News says he has "at least" one gunshot wound and is being treated at Mass General Hospital.
Dzhokhar and his brother Tamerlan, who was killed in a gunfight on Thursday, are suspected of planting bombs at the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing three and injuring nearly 200.
Watertown, Mass., had been on lockdown for most of the day while authorities conducted a manhunt.
Boston Police Chief Ed Davis said that police caught the suspect after being alerted by a man living in a house, who walked outside and saw blood around his boat. He opened the tarp and saw the suspect covered in blood, retreated, and alerted police.
"We set up a perimeter around that boat and over the course of the next hour or so, we exchanged gunfire with the suspect who was inside the boat," Davis said. "And ultimately, the hostage rescue team or FBI made an entry into the boat and removed the suspect who was still alive in the boat."
"We're exhausted folks, but we have a victory here tonight,"?Massachusetts Police Col. Timothy Allen said.
"Tonight we feel a tremendous sense of gratitude and relief," said U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz. "Tonight we can sleep a little bit easier."
Said Boston Mayor Tom Menino: "I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you."
"I feel so good about this, I tell you. I'm so happy. And people in the greater Boston area will sleep tonight."
President Barack Obama wrapped up a grueling week for the nation by hailing a victory ? the capture and?arrest of the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings.?
?"We've closed an important chapter in this tragedy," Obama said in the White House briefing room shortly after 10 p.m. Friday night. The "terrorists" in Boston?failed, he said, "because the people of Boston refused to be intimidated."
"All in all this has been a tough week, but we have seen the character of our country once more," he said. "And as president, I'm confident that we have the courage and the resilience and the spirit to overcome these challenges and to go forward as one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
The bombing investigation appeared to move forward when the FBI released images of two suspects later identified (with the help of the Internet) as Tamerlan and?Dzhokhar.
The suspects apparently fled; allegedly shooting and killing an MIT campus police officer, carjacking a Mercedes SUV, and chasing the police while throwing improvised explosives out the window. Tamerlan was shot dead early on Friday morning. Dzhokhar was apprehended at 8:42 p.m. on Friday night.
