Footballers throughout the Premier League are today wearing special rainbow coloured laces to support Stonewall and Paddy Power's anti-homophobia campaign. Arsenal already demonstrated their support for the issue in a television advert, and now they, as well as players from around the Premier League, can be seen wearing the laces in today's fixtures. Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski are just some of the names involved at The Emirates. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Arsenal stars show their support for Rainbow Laces campaign . Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta's red and white boots complete with rainbow laces at The Emirates . An FA statement on the campaign read: 'Like that of the Rainbow Laces campaign, The FA's message is simple: homophobia, like all forms of discrimination, is unacceptable.' Joey Barton is another advocate of the cause. The QPR midfielder told The Metro: 'There are always people who are going to complain – they will say blue is red for the sake of an argument. 'The key is getting the message out to the public that us lads are supportive of fellow pros and supporters, no matter what their sexual orientation.'

Arsenal's captain for the day, Per Mertesacker, sporting his rainbow laces against Manchester City . Even the Arsenal stewards were getting involved with the rainbow laces at The Emirates . Speaking about the campaign to Arsenal.com, Arsene Wenger said: 'The sport is taking responsibility so perhaps our sport can be ahead of the trend in society. 'In this aspect I don't think we are but at least we support it and I think it's important. 'I believe that we have a responsibility because people look at our game and see what kind of values we support. The fight against homophobia and any discrimination is very important and we have that responsibility. The rainbow laces campaign supported by TFL at Arsenal tube station before the Manchester City game . Erik Lamela laces up for Tottenham as Mauricio Pochettino's side take on Sunderland . It wasn't just in the Premier League either, Chris Gunter leads Reading out in his rainbow laces . Bury FC were fully behind the campaign - their hold team wore the laces as they beat Morecambe .
Rainbow laces campaign, in its second year, aims to stop anti-gay abuse . The movement has the backing of The FA and the charity Stonewall . Arsenal, Hull City and Joey Barton have already backed the cause .

United Nations (CNN) -- The security situation in war-ravaged Darfur shows no sign of improvement as fighting has intensified between rebel groups and the Sudanese government, the United Nations Security Council was told Tuesday. "We are alarmed," U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said after hearing the report. "This deteriorating security situation is unacceptable and it needs to be effectively addressed." U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon pointed out in his latest report that incidents of violence over recent months have surpassed bloodshed in the same time period last year by far. "May was in fact the deadliest month in Darfur since UNAMID [joint United Nations-African Union mission] has deployed," Rice said. About 400 people lost their lives in May and another estimated 160 died by the government's aerial bombardment in June, officials said. Envoy Ibrahim Gambari said U.N. staffers and aid agencies are frequently denied access by the government in Khartoum to the areas where fighting is taken place. Ban criticized the Sudanese government for failing to investigate and prosecute cases where peacekeepers are attacked. "The Darfur process is at a critical juncture," Gambari said. "At precisely the same time as as the security situation has deteriorated, prospects for a negotiated settlement appear to have improved slightly." The Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM) is currently meeting with the Sudanese government in Doha. "This has provided an important boost to the process," Gambari said. The rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), however, has walked out on the Doha talks and started attacking the government again, Gambari told the council. The faction of the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) under Abdul Wahid has tried to take advantage of this renewed fighting and attacked the Sudanese forces as well. The rebels have said the government favors Arabs over black Africans. The two big movements, JEM and SLM are not participating in the talks, sabotaging the peace process. Gambari asked the Security Council to appeal again to the movements to join the negotiations so that an arrangement can be hashed out before the end of this year. The Security Council has to decide later this week if the mandate of UNAMID will be extended for another year. Ban recommended that the mission continues to "expand the work that it has painstakingly begun."
Fighting is intensifying in the Darfur region of Sudan . Two large rebel groups won't participate in talks . Still, prospects for negotiations have improved .

By . Francesca Infante . PUBLISHED: . 17:56 EST, 23 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 01:50 EST, 24 April 2013 . Students at the Oxford college once attended by Lady Thatcher provoked outrage last night over plans to hire a live shark as entertainment for a summer ball. The organising committee for students at Somerville and Jesus colleges planned to hire a live nursing shark to be displayed in a tank for their black-tie event on May 4th. But the plan has been met with condemnation from fellow students - with one accusing organisers of simply wanting to show that ‘we have got so much money sloshing around we can hire a shark.’ With tickets costing a minimum of £110 the sell-out event was billed by organisers as a ‘one night of decadence, debauchery and indulgence.’ Some students planned to have a nurse shark glide around in a tank for the 'debauched' summer ball . But now a group of outraged former students have written to college principal Dr Alice Prochaska asking her to intercede and ‘prevent any live animals from being used.’ One of the group, Claire Phipps, who graduated in 2011, criticised the organisers’ decision saying they were simply ‘showing off.’ She said: ‘We’re primarily concerned about the shark. ‘We don’t know where it came from in the first place, whether it was bred in captivity or captured in the wild, and we can’t find out as the committee won’t give us the details of the company they hired it from. ‘I am worried about the unnecessary stress for the animal of being transported and lots of people gawping at it. ‘This is about nothing more than showing off: “We’ve got so much money sloshing around we can hire a shark”.’ Somerville College, at Oxford, promised to throw a night of 'debauchery, decadence and indulgence' History graduate Matthew Hawkins echoed her concerns, saying the event risked shaming the university and should be boycotted by students. He said: ‘It’s worrying that a leading educational institution such as an Oxford college would allow that view of nature to be perpetuated, of animals as an extravagant, gaudy show. ‘If the organisers won’t cancel the shark then we won’t attend and we will ask others to boycott the event as well.’ The first signs of the stunt came earlier this year when organisers printed the Latin words for female shark ‘Ginglymostoma Cirratu’ on posters for the event. It was followed by the instruction: ‘You should really go look that up.’ Many students took it as a joke - but in February Miss Phipps e-mailed the chair of the ball committee Sam Levin to check and was shocked to find that they were hiring a shark from a company which supplies animals to film studios. The second-year biology student told her that anyone objecting to the idea could have a refund but maintained the animal’s welfare was not at risk. Jesus college has incurred the wrath of students, who say the event risked shaming the university and should be boycotted . Yesterday he told the Guardian that he cared ‘a lot’ for animal welfare and that the area around the tank could be quickly cleared during the event if it became distressed. He added that the idea of having a shark at the ball came from Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film Romeo and Juliet, in which the star-crossed teenagers meet while gazing through a fish tank. He said: ‘As someone who cares a lot about animal welfare, I think we’ve ensured this shark is looked after. ‘It will have a guard and caretaker with it at all times to look out for signs of stress, and we’re keeping it there for only a short time. I feel confident that the shark will not suffer.’ In a statement the college said that staff were working with students to ensure ‘the highest standards of safety and ethics.’ But such comments provoked fury from animal rights groups who claim there is no excuse for using live animals for entertainment purposes. Andrew Tyler, director of animal rights group Animal Aid slammed the plans branding them ‘cruel’ and ‘idiotic.’ He said: ‘Oxford is supposed to attract the brightest and most intelligent of their generation but this clearly indicates that does not necessarily come with compassion and common sense. ‘This is clearly a cruel and pitiless thing to do. These are magnificent animals that belong in the sea. ‘You don’t need to be a shark expert to know that this is not in the interest of the animal, she will be absolutely terrified by having a lot of morons playing loud music around her. ‘Thankfully some of their fellow students have had the good sense to recognise that the organisers take note. ‘If they wish to be debauched and degenerate then let them do with respect to each other and not at the expense of innocent animals. The RSPCA said that it too was concerned about the conditions the shark would be held in. A spokesman for the charity said: ‘Using sharks in any type of event would require very careful planning to ensure their welfare, particularly in terms of transportation, housing and the potential impact of the event itself.'

Humiliated: Nick Clegg makes the announcement that his plans to reform the House of Lords have been killed off - and that he will now block constituency boundary change proposals . Nick Clegg plunged the Coalition into brutal bloodletting last night after delivering a crushing blow to Tory hopes of a majority at the next election. The Deputy Prime Minister announced he was abandoning his pet plans for House of Lords reform after opposition from Conservative backbenchers. And in a tit-for-tat move branded a ‘treachery’ by senior Tories, Mr Clegg said the Lib Dems would now vote against Tory plans to redraw constituency boundaries which are expected to help the Conservatives gain 20 seats at the next election. Senior Lib Dems admitted that an angry Mr Clegg wanted to deliver a ‘punch’ to his Coalition partners. The Lib Dem leader accused the Tories of breaking the Coalition ‘contract’ after Tory MPs rebelled over the Lords. But Tories pointed out that it was the AV referendum on electoral reform – not a shake-up of the Lords – which was linked to the boundary changes in the Coalition Agreement. On Lords reform it bound them only to set up a committee to suggest changes, which they did. Mr Clegg was branded a ‘child’ and a ‘hypocrite’ by senior Tories who vowed to wreak their revenge on the Lib Dems. One senior minister privately said the Prime Minister should kick Lib Dem ministers out of the Coalition and run a minority Government if they fail to back the boundary changes. A Cabinet minister said: ‘Everyone knows we gave the Lib Dems the AV referendum for boundaries. At the earliest opportunity we must revenge Clegg’s betrayal.’ And another senior Tory said Mr Clegg ‘has effectively called time on the Coalition’ and urged Mr Cameron to ‘walk away’. He said: ‘You simply cannot have a situation where Government ministers don’t vote for Government policy. That’s very different from backbenchers, who can vote how they like.’ Battle: David Cameron looks set to drop House of Lords reforms next week but the Lib Dems look like to retaliate . The senior figure said Mr Cameron should move to a ‘confidence and supply’ arrangement where the Lib Dems would back the Government on Budget measures and votes of confidence but could vote as they wished on other matters. Many Tories fear that without boundary changes they have little prospect of winning a majority in 2015 because the current constituencies are stacked in Labour’s favour. The developments also call into question Mr Cameron’s authority over his own party. Yesterday’s move means that Lib Dem ministers will be in the extraordinary position of voting against their own Government’s policy when the boundary changes come before the Commons next year. If Mr Cameron lets that stand, it could lead to a catastrophic breakdown of Government discipline, fuelling other rebellions. And in another bizarre twist, Mr Clegg made clear that he would continue to stuff the House of Lords with new members even though his main complaint is that there are too many peers. Mr Clegg even came under fire from his own side. Peer Lord Carlile said Mr Clegg’s Lords reforms were ‘ill-thought-out’ and the Lib Dems had to accept the plans did not have enough support in the Commons. At a Westminster briefing, Mr Clegg confirmed he was dropping his House of Lords Reform Bill, after being informed by Mr Cameron that an ‘insufficient number’ of Conservative MPs was prepared to back it. David Cameron, pictured with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at Downing Street today, is said to have told Mr Clegg that he was flogging a dead horse in trying to get the reform through . Mr Clegg said he was acting ‘reluctantly’ after the Prime Minister made clear he was unable to reverse the revolt by 91 Tory backbenchers last month which forced the Government to abandon the crucial timetable motion limiting Commons debate on the Lords Reform Bill. ‘The Conservative Party is not honouring the commitment to Lords reform and, as a result, part of our contract has now been broken,’ he said. ‘Clearly I cannot permit a situation where Conservative rebels can pick and choose the parts of the contract they like, while Liberal Democrat MPs are bound to the entire agreement. ‘Coalition works on mutual respect; it is a reciprocal arrangement, a two-way street. So I have told the Prime Minister that when, in due course, Parliament votes on boundary changes for the 2015 election I will be instructing my party to oppose them.’ The Deputy Prime Minister dressed up his announcement as principle. But a senior Lib Dem figure made clear that his real motivation was to get his own back for a series of Coalition setbacks, saying: ‘Sometimes you have to deliver a punch. We have taken enough.’ Downing Street said Mr Cameron had known for several weeks what was coming and was calm about the developments when Mr Clegg confirmed he was pulling the plug in a phone call on Monday morning. But No 10 also made clear that the Tories will push the boundary changes to a vote since that will force the Lib Dems to publicly vote against a reduction in the number of MPs which was in their election manifesto. The Government’s now-defunct proposals would have reduced the number of MPs from 650 to 600. As well as cutting the number of constituencies, those remaining would have more equal populations than at present. In Parliament now there are big differences in the number of voters between one constituency and another. This is the result of some city populations declining and rural ones growing. This social shift has not been reflected in the size of constituencies and many are badly imbalanced. For example, Newcastle upon Tyne Central has a population of 61,000 while North West Cambridgeshire has 90,000. Because Labour’s heartlands are in urban areas and the Tories’ safest seats are in the countryside, differences in voter numbers from constituency to constituency have the effect, over time, of favouring Labour. The current position is that it takes more Tory votes to win a General Election than Labour ones. It is for this reason that the Conservatives included a commitment in their 2010 manifesto to reduce the number of MPs and equalise voter numbers. The Lib Dems also wanted to cut the number of MPs. Indeed, proposals from the independent Boundary Commission would have redrawn the majority of existing constituencies. In some cases, this would have had a major impact and altered dramatically the composition of constituencies. For example, several seats would have seen less than 50 per cent of their voters transferred to the proposed new constituency. The constituencies of MPs such as Labour’s Tessa Jowell and David Blunkett as well as the Tories’ Nadine Dorries would have been affected in this way. It is not surprising, therefore, that many MPs whose constituencies were set to be radically redrawn, including a number of Conservatives, will be relieved that Nick Clegg has stopped the reform. Less pleased, though, will be David Cameron and Tory strategists who were expecting the review to improve their chances of winning the next election outright. Expert calculations say 600 constituencies with broadly more equal voter numbers would reduce the number of Labour seats by around 28, the Lib Dems’ total by 11 and the Conservatives by only about seven. Thus, the Tories would be significantly better off in relation to Labour – and more likely to win an election. Clegg’s cynical retaliation will have two effects. First, it makes it likely that the Lib Dems will lose slightly fewer seats at the next election than currently appears inevitable. Second, it makes it less easy for the Conservatives to win an outright victory. The way things now stand, it is significantly more likely that Labour’s Ed Miliband, possibly with Clegg’s support, will win the next election – be it in 2014 or 2015. Tony Travers is a government expert at the London School of Economics . What are the boundary changes? The . Coalition has pledged to cut the number of seats for MPs in the House . of Commons from 650 to 600, arguing this will  save around £12million a . year, and will be fairer. Under . the change, the vast majority of Parliamentary seats would contain the . same number of eligible voters within a margin of 5 per cent. It is . controversial because it currently takes far more votes to elect a Tory . MP in a rural seat than an urban Labour member. The . Lib Dems agreed to support the reforms in return for a referendum on . the introduction of the Alternative Vote system. This was held in 2011 . and was roundly rejected by voters. How will the parties be affected? Labour . is likely to sustain the biggest losses, but proportionately the Lib . Dems would be hit hardest. Some experts believe the reforms will hand . the Tories an extra   20 seats at the next general election and put . several senior Lib Dems at risk. What has this to do with Lords reform? Lib . Dems regard Lords reform and Boundary Commission changes as a package, . although they are not explicitly linked in the Coalition deal. The party . has threatened to vote down the boundary changes if Lords reforms are . dumped. David Laws, a Lib Dem MP, has warned of a ‘chain reaction’ which . would threaten the rest of the Coalition’s programme. What happens next? David . Cameron is pressing ahead with the changes. The blueprint will have to . be approved in a Commons vote as early as the end of 2013 to be in place . for the next General Election in 2015. What will Nick Clegg do? He may use the threat of voting down the package to try to extract policy commitments to shore up his grassroots support. What do the Tories think?Furious . backbenchers say they fulfilled their side of the bargain by agreeing . to the AV poll. They also mutter that any Lib Dem backsliding could . finish the Coalition.

(CNN) -- Golfer Tiger Woods has described a jibe aimed at him by Sergio Garcia as "wrong, hurtful and inappropriate," though the world No. 1 insists he wants to move on from their very public war of words. Garcia apologized to Woods after making a remark about the American at a players' dinner ahead of the European Tour's flagship tournament -- the PGA Championship at Wentworth that starts Thursday. Asked on stage whether he would be inviting Woods round for dinner during next month's U.S. Open Garcia replied: "We'll be having him round every night... and serving him fried chicken." Fried chicken is a common food in the American South, but when used in references to African-Americans, it often implies a negative stereotype. Garcia and Woods have been at loggerheads since an acrimonious round during the penultimate day of The Players' Championship earlier this month. "The comment that was made wasn't silly. It was wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate," Woods said on his official Twitter account. "I'm confident that there is real regret that the remark was made. The Players ended nearly two weeks ago and it's long past time to move on and talk about golf." Earlier on Wednesday Garcia released an apology via the European Tour and used his pre-tournament press conference at Wentworth to reiterate his remorse. "I want to send out an unreserved apology, I did not mean to offend anyone," Garcia told reporters. "I was caught off guard by the question but don't get me wrong, I understand my answer was totally stupid and out of place. "I can't say sorry enough. I would also like to say sorry to the European Tour and my Ryder Cup teammates for taking the shine away from a wonderful dinner that we all enjoyed to that point. "Finally and most importantly I want to apologize to Tiger and anyone that I could have offended. I feel sick about it and truly, truly sorry. Hopefully we can settle things down and move on. "As soon as I left the dinner I started to get a sick feeling. I didn't really sleep at all. I felt like my heart was going to come out of my body. "It was tough to hit a shot (in the pro-am) without thinking about it." Garcia said he had spoken to the head of the European Tour George O'Grady and the PGA Tour to apologize and subsequently will not face any punishment. His comments came at a dinner to honor the 12 members of Europe's victorious Ryder Cup team, whose dramatic comeback in Chicago to defeat the American team that included Woods has been dubbed 'The miracle of Medinah.' The 33-year-old's Ryder Cup teammate Graeme McDowell, the 2010 U.S. Open champion, later tweeted when asked about the fried chicken comments: "Private/humor filled environment but he (Garcia) shouldn't have said it #slip." Fuzzy Zoeller comments . Woods and Garcia have long enjoyed a fractious relationship that was again highlighted when they were paired together during the penultimate round of The Players' Championship earlier this month. Garcia claimed he was disrupted during one of his shots after the gallery following Woods cheered as the 14-time major winner pulled a club out of his bag that signaled his intention to go for the green despite being in the rough. Garcia sliced his shot and made a bogey that saw him relinquish the one-shot lead he held at the time. After the incident Garcia told reporters: "I think that I try to respect everyone as much as possible out there. I try to be careful what I do to make sure it doesn't bother the other players." Woods responded by saying: "It's not real surprising that he's complaining about something," prompting another provocative comment from the Spaniard: "That's fine. At least I'm true to myself. I know what I'm doing. He can do whatever he wants." Woods went on to cement his status as the world No. 1, winning the tournament by two shots with Garcia eventually six back after he faltered on the notorious 17th island hole, which is surrounded by water. The row rumbled on into this week as Woods was asked at a press conference whether he would consider contacting Garcia to end their spat. "No," came his brief response. Upon hearing that, Garcia hit back by reportedly telling a function in London: "He called me a whiner. That's probably right. It's also probably the first thing he's told you guys that's true in 15 years. I know what he is like. You guys are finding out." Garcia's remarks are similar to those made by two-time major champion Fuzzy Zoeller in 1997 after Woods won The Masters. Zoeller suggested at the champions dinner the following year Woods would choose to serve fried chicken to his guests. He later apologized and claimed the remarks had been taken out of context. At his own press call ahead of the PGA Championship, Lee Westwood, Garcia's Ryder Cup teammate, refused to be drawn into the row saying he was friends with both players. "It's an awkward situation where they obviously just don't get on. It's in the public (domain) and you guys (the media) will stoke it up and you don't need to," he told reporters. "I don't think Tiger will be particularly bothered. I get on with both of them but I have no interest of getting in the middle of that relationship. It's nothing to do with me."
Tiger Woods calls jibe aimed at him by fellow golfer Sergio Garcia 'wrong' and 'hurtful' Garcia had said he would serve fried chicken to Woods if he was to host him for dinner . Spaniard denies his comment was meant as racial jibe towards Woods . The pair have been arguing publicly since acrimonious round earlier in May .

Each year, up to 2 million bikes are stolen around the world, despite many being locked to railings or lamposts. To cut the hassle and cost of these thefts, a pair of engineers has created a smart bike lock that not only alerts the user if someone tries to steal their bike, it can also inform their family if they have an accident. Called Skylock, the gadget is solar-powered and connects to a smartphone app via Bluetooth so owners can keep an eye on their bike wherever they are. Scroll down for video . Skylock, pictured, is solar-powered smart bike lock fitted with a Bluetooth sensor that syncs with a smartphone app. It weighs 2.5lbs (1.13kg) and the firm claims it can withstand 7,000lbs of force.

Aston Villa have fended off interest from Bayern Munich and Liverpool to secure Easah Suliman. The 16-year-old signed scholarship forms with Villa in the summer but has still been courted by bigger clubs as they looked to tempt the England Under 17 defender away from Villa Park. Bayern were particularly keen. Suliman has captained England at Under 17 level and impressed Bayern's scouts playing in the FA Youth Cup. Aston Villa have tied down Easah Suliman (left) despite interest from clubs including Bayern Munich . Suliman, who is from Hall Green in Birmingham, has been with Villa since he was eight years old and was spotted playing in a tournament at Butlins.

(CNN) -- What appears to be a separated human foot inside a shoe -- possibly the sixth discovered in Canada's British Columbia in the past 15 months -- has been found on a riverbank, Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Wednesday. Some of the feet found this year washed up on Westham Island, south of Vancouver, British Columbia. The shoe -- a left New Balance running shoe -- was found about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday on the south arm of the Fraser River by a Richmond, British Columbia, couple, police said. It was turned over to the British Columbia Coroners Service for examination and DNA testing, authorities said. Before Tuesday, five feet -- all inside running shoes -- had washed ashore in southern British Columbia since August 2007. One of them, a right New Balance shoe, was found May 22 on Kirkland Island. That foot was determined to belong to a female, authorities said. View a map of where the feet washed ashore » . The provincial coroners' office said in July that DNA tests determined that two of the five feet -- a right foot found February 8 and a left foot found June 16 -- were from the same male, but they said they didn't know to whom any of the feet belonged. What was initially thought to be a sixth foot inside a running shoe, found in June, was determined to be a hoax. Authorities said a "skeletonized animal paw" was put in the shoe with a sock and packed with dried seaweed. "Obviously, due to the fact that a hoax was perpetrated previously and then extensively reported on, we want to proceed cautiously [with Tuesday's discovery] until we know what exactly we are dealing with," said Constable Annie Linteau, an RCMP spokeswoman. The provincial coroners' service said in July that the five sets of remains found to that point appeared "to have naturally separated (disarticulated) from the body." There was no forensic evidence, such as tool or trauma marks, on the remains to suggest that they had separated in any way other than decomposition, the service said. Authorities are investigating multiple possibilities on the origin of the feet, including foul play and the chance they could belong to victims of a plane crash. Missing persons files are also being reviewed. Four of the five feet discovered between August 2007 and June 2008 were in running shoes made between 2003 and 2004, and the other was made in 1999, according to police. Royal Canadian Mounted Police have released photos of the shoes, hoping someone can help identify the remains. Here is a timeline of the discoveries in British Columbia, according to police: . August 20, 2007 . The first foot is found by an American man and his 12-year-old daughter boating near Jedidiah Island. The shoe is later identified as a Campus brand running shoe, primarily white with blue mesh, and is believed to be a size 12. It is determined that it was produced in 2003 and distributed primarily in India. August 26, 2007 . The second foot is found on Gabriola Island by a resident walking on a trail. The shoe is a size 12 men's Reebok running shoe, primarily white in color. It was produced in 2004 and was distributed globally, though mostly in North America. It was first available March 1, 2004, but is no longer available. February 2 . A third foot is found by two forest workers on Valdez Island. The shoe is a size 11 blue and white Nike running shoe, made in 2003 and sold in Canada and the United States from February 1 to June 30, 2003. May 22 . The fourth foot is found on Kirkland Island by a man walking along the shoreline. The size 7 blue and white New Balance running shoe was made in 1999 and distributed in major retail stores. DNA tests later determine that the remains belonged to a female. June 16 . A fifth foot is found on Westham Island, in the same type of Nike shoe as the foot found February 2. DNA tests later determine that both feet belonged to the same male.

Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said teachers are as vulnerable as pupils online. Guidance advises teachers to avoid befriending pupils on social media . Teachers should monitor photographs posted of themselves online and not connect with their pupils over social media to avoid becoming victims of cyber bullies, the Education Secretary has said. New guidance for teachers will advise them to avoid accepting friend requests on Facebook from current and former students and not to connect with them via Twitter. It will also say that schools have a legal duty to protect their teachers from online abuse. The advice comes as it is revealed that one in five teachers have been targeted with derogatory comments by pupils online, the Independent reported. Nicky Morgan, the Education Secretary, said teachers need to be comfortable that their schools would take action if they fell victim to cyber bullies. She said: 'We all know the dangers children face from online bullies but we – but we sometimes forget that teachers are not immune from abuse which impacts on them professionally and personally.' The guidance, due to be published by the Department of Education, aims to safeguard both teachers and their students from online trolls. A survey by the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers, recently found that one in five teachers had been subjected to abuse online. This may have been in the form of derogatory comments and in some cases had affected their teaching careers. In one example a pupil had tweeted: 'You are a paedo and your daughter is a whore.' Brian Lightman, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said cyberbullying can have a 'pernicious impact.' The guidance urges teachers to ensure their security settings online remain high, as well as those of family and friends to avoid embarrassing photographs and information being accessed by pupils and their parents. Teachers are also advised to search for their names online to see what has been posted about them - including photographs and comments and ensure snaps of them drinking or at parties are not readily accessible. Department of Education advise urges teachers to avoid befriending current and former pupils on Facebook . In some instances teachers can fall victim to the actions of scornful parents who search for compromising photographs online and then send them to headteachers in revenge for their children being disciplined or left out of sport teams. The guidance will say this type of abuse could constitute a crime. Teachers can be particularly vulnerable to the abuse via RateMyTeachers - a site which allows pupils to post derogatory remarks about their appearance and performance in the classroom.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- For Olympic swimmer Eric Shanteau, the last two months have been a whirlwind. "Full of the best moments and the scariest moments of my life," says the 24-year-old Olympic swimmer. Eric Shanteau said he felt angry when he found out he had testicular cancer. "Getting to the Olympics was, has always been, my swimming dream since I was 8 or 9 years old. You know, right after I started swimming it was, 'I want to make an Olympic team. That's where I want to be'." In June, a week before the qualifying round of the Olympics he was told he had testicular cancer. "My initial reaction was probably anger more than anything else," he says. "I'm used to being in control of everything. I'm in control of how I train, how I race and then to all of a sudden have that control ripped away from me was tough." After weeks of tests to determine the "stage" or spread of the cancer, Shanteau's team of doctors cleared him to compete in the Beijing Olympics, which meant carefully monitoring his tumor but delaying treatment. Though putting off the surgery was controversial to some, Eric says it was an educated choice based on numerous doctor evaluations. "I hope people understand that if I was in a different position with my test results, then I wouldn't have put off having surgery." Dr. Sanjay Gupta reports from Eric Shanteau's surgery » . He swam a personal best in the 200 meter breaststroke. He did not qualify for the finals. Cancer was a motivator, he says, because he knew it meant he could be facing his last competition. He put everything he had into that heat. "Leave it all in the pool, and I don't look back and regret anything as far as how I raced." Once back from Beijing, Shanteau invited CNN to spend time with him the night before his surgery in Atlanta, Georgia. Though admittedly a little scared, he spent the evening relaxing with his family, cooking dinner, walking the dog. A source of inspiration, he says, were fans who shared their stories of beating cancer. "They send me their story and it helps me to learn that people are going through the same thing I am all over the world," says Shanteau. "They all affect me in a different way and it's been really encouraging to share in this experience with other people." Testicular cancer is diagnosed in about 1 in 300 men in their lifetime. It is the most common form of cancer for 15- to 34-year-olds. It is also one of the most curable if discovered early. Nearly 140,000 men in the United States are testicular cancer survivors. Shanteau says he experienced no symptoms of cancer and came across the tumor by chance. "I've been in a Speedo half my life," he says. "So I am really comfortable with my body. One day I just felt something that wasn't suppose to be there. I decided to go and get it checked out." He adds that although he had the "greatest excuse in the world" -- an Olympic dream -- to ignore the lump, he understood the importance of early detection. Shanteau's father Rick, is battling lung cancer and responding well to treatment. "A lot of guys, if they hear a rattle in their car, they're at the mechanic the next day," he says. "But if they feel something [physically] that they don't think should be there, it takes them a year to get to their doctor and that just is not smart. There's really no excuse, because it can save your life." Fast forward to Shanteau's recent operation at Emory University Hospital. CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta was with Shanteau during the surgery and spoke with the lead surgeon, Dr. Jeff Carney, moments afterward. "I think the operation went very well," Carney said. "Eric's a very healthy young man, very thin, in excellent shape. That makes my job easy." Later that week, Shanteau's pathology results revealed that the operation removed the most of the cancer. "The majority of it is gone." he tells CNN. "There is a small chance it could come back but I shouldn't need chemotherapy at this point, so I am really optimistic." His treatment plan is to keep a close eye on his health for the next year with regular medical tests. "Obviously, it would have been nice if the doctor said, 'You're completely in the clear,' but my results are exactly what the doctors expected." Eric says the cancer diagnosis gave him a different perspective on life. "I appreciate life much more now," he says. "I don't let myself get upset about the little nitpicky things anymore. Food even seems to taste better. It is really great." As for Shanteau's swimming career, he plans to compete in the 2009 World Swimming Championship in Rome, Italy. "2012 [the next Olympics] is a push for me. Right now I'm just kind of taking it year by year and we'll see what happens."

(CNN) -- In an attempt to be frugal amid the economic downturn, Karl Stetson and his family in Seattle, Washington, planned to skip their annual trip to Hawaii. Water rushes toward the shore at Sandy Beach Park in Honolulu, Hawaii. That is until Stetson began noticing airfare and hotel rates plunge this year. Last week, he caved, purchasing plane tickets for less than $450 a person, a sweet deal compared with $600 last year. He booked rooms at Hanalei Colony Resort, among the emerald mountains in Kauai, for 25 percent off, and he was delighted to receive one of the nights free. "We might have done something on the mainland, something more low-key, but the fact that it was inexpensive was a big factor for us to go again," said Stetson, who is taking his wife and two young boys in May. Outdoor enthusiasts, lovebirds and families prudently resisting the urge to visit Hawaii, say aloha to majorly discounted airfares and hotel rates -- many hitting rock-bottom prices -- this year. The bittersweet theory seems to hold true: What is bad for the travel industry has been good for consumers. As Hawaii suffers from its biggest visitor decline since the Great Depression, the state is enticing travelers with discounted deals to offset the toll on its local economy. iReport.com: Toughing out the recession? Airfare to Hawaii from cities in the continental United States has plummeted more than 30 percent in some markets, according to FareCompare.com, an airfare research Web site. Pleasant Holidays, one of the nation's largest privately owned travel companies, is offering vacation packages that include flight and three nights hotel stay in Oahu starting at $299. Online travel giants Expedia, Travelocity and Orbitz are all offering sales on Hawaii flights, hotels and activities, and some luxury hotels have rooms for less than $150 a night. "You won't see prices to Hawaii like this again in your lifetime," FareCompare CEO Rick Seaney said. "It might be worth it to take that once-in-a-lifetime trip." For decades, tourists from the United States and abroad have flocked to Hawaii, many captivated by the exotic islands' natural beauty: snow-capped mountains, active volcanoes, breathtaking waterfalls and pristine beaches. Now with the administration of President Obama, who spent part of his childhood in Hawaii, there is a renewed interest for tourists to visit, travel experts say. But travelers have long viewed Hawaii as an expensive destination in comparison with Florida or California. Two adults can expect to spend $673 a day in Honolulu on food and lodging, making Hawaii the most expensive destination in the country, according to the AAA's 2008 Annual Vacation Costs Survey. It is no surprise, then, that in a brutal economy where consumer confidence is low, the islands are having a tough time reeling in visitors, despite discounted prices. The state reported a 12.4 percent decline in visitors, or 72,255 fewer guests, in January compared with the same time last year. The drop, which started last spring, is a reversal of nearly a decade of visitor growth. To make matters worse, visitor spending in Hawaii declined by 13.6 percent in January, and many state officials and experts are worried what that will mean for a state where tourism is the backbone industry. Nationwide, the tourism picture looks bleak, as the number of travelers is expected to fall throughout 2009, according to the Travel Industry Association of America. In the Aloha State, the smaller, more remote islands like Lana'i and Moloka'i are feeling the most pain. They received about a third fewer visitors in January than the year before. "This is a downturn," said Mark B. Dunkerley, who sits on the board of the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii and is CEO of Hawaiian Airlines. Dunkerley explained that the decline in visitors may be troubling, but the numbers are still as strong as they were a decade ago. "It's not a catastrophe. The clock has been wound back." Signs of decline for Hawaii began last spring with the shutdown of Aloha and ATA Airlines, which held about a fifth of the market share. By the summer, fuel prices had skyrocketed to $135 a barrel, which drove fares to an unaffordable price point for many travelers. That same year, NCL Corp.'s Norwegian Cruise Lines pulled back stops to Hawaii. Rob Pacheco, the president of Hawaii Forest & Trail, said he noticed about 3,000 fewer customers after some of the cruise ships stopped coming. The company, which gives natural tours of the island, said things "just kind of deteriorated, and it was more difficult to fill seats." Another challenge Hawaii faces in terms of tourism is its remote location on an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. This makes the state's tourism industry highly dependent on airfare prices. iReport.com: Where's your favorite secret hideaway? Traditionally, economical travelers shy away from Hawaii because of the high flight cost, travel experts said. But the airfare prices being offered until June show that prices may be more affordable than most leisure travelers think. A flight from Boston, Massachusetts, on Delta, United or American Airlines is running about $461 round trip, down from $610 at the same time last year, according to FareCompare.com. Travelers from major West Coast cities such as Los Angeles, California, can find flights just under $340, nearly 30 percent off the ticket price from a year ago, the site reported. Adding to the vacation savings are hotels, including lavish resorts, advertising rates about 20 percent lower in the first quarter of 2009 compared with first-quarter 2008, according to online travel companies. Hotels scrambled to offer lower rates when they saw occupancy numbers dive for the first time in years. Hotels say that in addition to the discount on the rooms, there are perks and added value such as upgrades, free nights and dinner coupons, travel experts say. For example, Outrigger Hotels and Resorts, owned by Outrigger Enterprises Group, is offering the third night free for travelers who book a stay in Waikiki this month for $159 a night. A year ago, the lowest the rate at the hotel was nearly $100 more. "You can travel better than you have in the past for the same amount of money," said Ian Jeffries, an Expedia travel expert. "Or you could do the exact same thing as last year and save money." Travelers can also snatch bargains at condos and rental properties. This is particularly true on the islands of Maui and Oahu, where there has been major development in recent years, says Pauline Frommer, creator of the Pauline Frommer Guidebooks. "You can play 'let's make a deal' with these folks," said Frommer, who has been tracking the travel industry for almost 20 years. "They are desperate for people's business." But don't expect the deals to paradise to last forever. Prices will climb during peak summer season and as soon as the economy recovers. Though experts are unsure when recovery will happen, Hawaii's Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism predicts that won't be until 2011. In the meantime, Hawaii tourism groups want to change American and international travelers' impression that a trip there is too expensive. With Japan suffering from its own economic woes, arrivals of Japanese tourists, once a steady revenue stream, have slowed, travel experts said. "The difficulty is the fact that it's not a Hawaii-centered problem," said John Monahan, president of the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau. "We have a nationwide and global crisis."

Kelly-Marie Earp, 33, fell and banged her head in the shower at her home in Midway, Derbyshire, but didn't realise she was badly hurt. She died six days later . A mother of two died from a slow bleed on the brain six days after she fell and banged her head in the shower, an inquest heard. Kelly-Marie Earp, 33, slipped and banged her head in the shower at her home in Midway, Derbyshire, but didn't realise she was badly hurt. She spent the following day enjoying a Sunday lunch with her family before collapsing and suffering confusion. The single mother was later taken to hospital and operated on but died from 'an acute subdural haematoma' as a result of 'blunt impact injury to the head'. The inquest into her death at South Derbyshire Coroner's Court yesterday heard that it was not uncommon for there to be a 'lucid period' after someone had suffered a head injury. The hearing was told that Ms Earp had spent much of the day with her sister on July 19 last year before returning to her own house at 8.30pm. She had a shower, during which she slipped and banged her head, and returned to her sister's home 45 minutes later complaining of a bump on the head. However, Ms Earp – who is mother to Josh, 13, and Macy, five – thought nothing more of it and returned home later that evening. She spent the following day at her mother's house where she enjoyed a Sunday lunch with her family and could be seen laughing and joking. Her mother Caroline Earp told the inquest: 'I remember her laughing when she arrived for lunch. 'There were two cars parked outside and she couldn't get between them and so she'd had to drive the long way round.' However, after later returning home, Ms Earp was found semi-conscious in the living room by her son Josh. The teenager came home to find his mother slumped over after being dropped off by his father, with whom he had spent the weekend. Coroner Louise Pinder recorded a conclusion of accidental death at South Derbyshire Coroner's Court (above) Detective Constable Thomas Wagg, of Derbyshire Police, told the hearing how Josh tried to rouse her in order to go to bed but she told him she believed she was already in bed. Mr Wagg added: 'Josh rang his father who advised him to leave her where she was. 'The following morning, about 7am, Josh still couldn't rouse his mum. 'There was no response from her at all. He rang his father again. He came to their home address, got them ready for school, came back and still couldn't rouse her and rang her sister Michelle.' The pair phoned 999 at about 9am on July 21 and Ms Earp was taken to Royal Derby Hospital where it was discovered that she had suffered a bleed to her brain. She was transferred to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham and operated on but died four days later on July 25. Consultant pathologist and forensic medical examiner Dr Andrew Hitchcock stated on the post-mortem examination report that Ms Earp died of 'an acute subdural haematoma' as a result of 'blunt impact injury to the head'. He said he could find no underlying disease that could have accounted for her collapsing in the shower. Coroner Louise Pinder recorded a conclusion of accidental death. After the inquest, Ms Earp's sister Tiffany, 25, said: 'She loved to be at parties with the family and friends – she was the life and soul and was the loudest one out of the lot of us. 'She loved her kids. We really miss her and it's not the same without her.' A subdural haematoma is a collection of clotting blood that puts pressure on the brain. It usually occurs as a result of a head injury and is a serious condition which usually requires emergency treatment. There are three types of a subdural haematoma: . A CT scan can show a subdural haematoma and an operation to remove the haematoma may be needed. Many people with a small subdural haematoma can make a quick and full recovery. However, in some cases it can lead to the damaging of brain tissues and in the worst cases a large haematoma on the brain can result in death. A subdural haematoma can occur at any age. However, some people are more at risk of developing a subdural haematoma after a head injury including people over the age of 60, because blood vessels around the brain become weaker, and babies. Subdural haematoma's are also more common in people who misuse alcohol because it can affect the clotting of blood and people who have consumed alcohol are more likely to fall and hit their head. People who take anticoagulation treatment, including aspirin, are also more prone to a subdural haematoma after a head injury. Anyone who has been knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, or who is vomiting after a knock, should go straight to an A&E department. People who have suffered a bang to the head, but may not be experiencing symptoms, should also seek medical help. Often hospitals will keep patients in 'for observation' after a bump to the head to ensure a subdural haematoma does not develop.

Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has criticized the Obama administration’s decision to supply weapons to the rebels in the civil war in Syria, arguing that the U.S. should ‘Let Allah sort it out’ until there is a stronger leader in the White House. ‘Militarily, where is our commander in chief? We’re talking now more new interventions. I say until we know what we’re doing, until we have a commander and chief who knows what he’s doing, well, let these radical Islamic countries who aren’t even respecting basic human rights, where both sides are slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, “Allah Akbar,” I say until we have someone who knows what they’re doing, I say let Allah sort it out,’ Palin said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference on Saturday. The White House confirmed on Thursday that it had conclusive evidence that Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime has used chemical weapons against rebel forces. Scroll down for video . Palin has criticized the Obama administration¿s decision to supply weapons to the rebels in the civil war in Syria . The use of weapons such as the nerve agent sarin crosses what President Barack Obama has called a 'red line' that would trigger greater American involvement in the crisis. Obama discussed the civil war in Syria with European leaders in a teleconference on Friday, and the issue is expected to dominate much of the conversation at next week’s G-8 Summit in Northern Ireland. The White House is now considering arming the opposition fighters and enforcing a no-fly zone that could cost an estimated $50 million a day. The final speaker at the three-day Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference, former Alaska Gov. Palin rejected calls for an immigration overhaul that includes a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally. Palin, who is rejoining Fox News Channel as an analyst on Monday, described Washington as 'one hot mess' The White House says it has conclusive evidence that Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime has used chemical weapons against rebels . Palin, who is rejoining Fox News Channel as an analyst less than half a year after they decided to part ways, also called Washington, D.C. ‘one hot mess,’ reports ABC News. She also offered a warning to 'the good old boys' in the GOP leadership who are calling for conservative activists to tone down aggressive rhetoric. 'You do not marginalize, you don't discredit and dismiss, every day average hard-working Americans - those who are part of that grass-roots tea party movement,' she said. 'Just let them tell us to sit down and shut up,' Palin said later, 'which I refuse to do.' She also took a swipe at another speaker at the conservative forum, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who argued Friday that one of the reasons to support the Senate’s immigration reform plan is because ‘Immigrants are more fertile.’ Palin and husband Todd, top left, greets supporters after speaking at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Road to Majority 2013 conference on Saturday . ‘I think it’s kind of dangerous . territory, territory to want to debate this whole one race’s fertility . rate over another, and I say this from someone who’s kind of fertile . herself,’ Palin said. ‘I don’t think that’s where we want to go in deciding how will we incentivize the hardworking responsible families who want to live in the light, follow the law, become Americans, versus those whose very first act on our soil is to break the law? There are different ways that we can debate this.’ As she warned the conservative crowd of ‘tyranny’ in government, Palin said that the recent scandals involving the Internal Revenue Service and the National Security Agency make the country feel ‘so Orwellian around here, you know, “1984.’” Palin's first appearance since returning to Fox is scheduled for Monday on the 'Fox & Friends' morning show – on the same day CNN is premiering a morning show to great fanfare. Fox and Palin parted ways in January after she had worked there for three years as a contributor. They had talked about renewing their contract, but it didn't happen. Palin said that recent scandals involving the IRS and the NSA make the country feel 'so Orwellian around here, you know, "1984'" Money may have been a factor: Palin was . signed for a reported $1 million a year when she originally joined Fox . less than two years after being John McCain's running mate. Fox News chief Roger Ailes said in a statement: 'I've had several conversations with Governor Palin in the past few weeks about her rejoining FOX News as a contributor. 'I have great confidence in her and am pleased that she will once again add her commentary to our programming. 'I hope she continues to speak her mind.' Palin also hit headlines this week for blasting comedian Bill Maher on Twitter Wednesday, saying she hopes his 'lily white a**' gets flattened, after he reportedly made a joke directed at her 5-year-old special needs son. Palin learned of the alleged joke from a conservative writer for Breitbart News, who attended Maher's stand-up show in The Pearl concert venue at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday. The writer, Ron Futrell, wrote in a blog that he attended the show with friends and became inflamed when Maher made a comment referring to Palin's son Trig, who has Downs Syndrome, as 'retarded.' She also took a swipe at 'the good old boys' in the GOP leadership who are calling for conservative activists to tone down aggressive rhetoric .

The embattled electronics chain is currently working out a bankruptcy deal that entirely liquidates the company after it went nearly three years without turning a profit, according to reports. Half of the more than 4,000 retail locations would shut down and Sprint would take over the remainder - operating them under the telecommunications company's brand, Bloomberg reports. There is still a possibility that a last-minute buyer comes forward to rescue RadioShack, which has gone 11 quarters without positive earnings. Shutdown: Fading electronics retail chain RadioShack plans to shut down in a bankruptcy deal with Sprint, according to sources with knowledge of negotiations . Sanpower, the Chinese conglomerate that helped bring Brookstone out of bankruptcy last summer, is involved and interested in acquiring RadioShack assets, one person close to the talks said. The talks have also touched on a plan for Sprint co-branding RadioShack's retail stores, two people with knowledge of the negotiations said. Barring a deal that rescues the chain, RadioShack's closing would be the final chapter in the 94-year-old company's history. The retailer began in 1921 with a customer base largely made of ham-radio operators and maritime communications officers. In 1977, the chain released one of the first mass-produced computers, the TRS-80, in its retail stores, which led competitors Apple and Commodore for a time. The New York Times reports that the company developed a strong reputation as the place to go for gear like headphones and other peripherals. Shacking up: Sprint would take over leases on 1,300 to 2,000 locations in the reported negotiations, though other deals are on the table and there are possibilities that no deal would be reached . Losing: RadioShack Corporation has posted 11 quarters of losses, and its stock value has bottomed out, falling 90 percent to 24 cents in a year's time . What remained of the company by 2000 was all but done away with by the changing retail business of smartphones and online retailers. Hedge fund Standard General extended a rescue financing package to RadioShack in October as Joe Magnacca, who took over as CEO in 2013, attempted to overhaul the chain's retail locations. If the plan proposed comes to pass, the company will sell the leases on 1,300 to 2,000 retail locations to Sprint and close the rest. The company employs around 27,000 people. The company's stock, which has already lost 90 percent of its value in a year, ended the day Monday down 13 percent at 24 cents.

(CNN) -- If you ever feel overwhelmed at work, imagine breaking up fights and taking a puck to the face while trying to earn a not-so-great salary. Alex Stagnone's face once needed eight stitches while on the job, but he quickly returned to the ice, ready for another 20 minutes of relentless action. "That's hockey," is a common response from any player when suffering sport-related injuries. But Stagnone, 23, is a linesman with the ECHL, the NHL's double-A league. "Ninety-five percent of hockey players wouldn't take our job," said hockey official Graham Skilliter, referring to the lower pay, heavy travel schedule, verbal abuse and stiff competition for a coveted officiating position in the NHL. Skilliter is an ECHL referee or "the boss on the ice." They make all final decisions on calls, penalties and disputed goals. Linesmen follow the action, break up fights, call minor penalties and drop the puck. Officials face a crowd of hockey fans who will never be satisfied with every call -- and fans aren't shy about voicing it. "You get booed a lot, but you learn to like it. You get so used to it, it kind of becomes comical," Stagnone said, adding he tries not to take it personally. After growing up playing hockey, Stagnone attended one of USA Hockey's weeklong summer camps taught by seasoned supervisors. He then worked his way up through the tiered levels of hockey. Joe Ernst, director of Officiating for the ECHL, hires skilled skaters with good judgment who are hungry for a spot in the NHL and are physically and mentally tough. While the hockey players get regular line changes, officials only get a real break every 30 minutes. "Our general rule of thumb is to be in as good of shape as the players, if not better," Skilliter said. "The players will be out for 45 seconds and go red line as hard as they can. For us, it's more of a marathon." During the playoffs under way now, the officials face more pressure than normal because their calls could land an important player in the penalty box or disallow a goal. So each call could have an affect on who wins the league title. Both referees and linesmen need thick skin to deal with angry coaches and players over disputed calls. "You have to stay professional no matter how unprofessionally someone may treat you. It's keeping your cool when most people would lose it," Stagnone said. Officials also have to anticipate plays before they happen. It's called "hockey sense," and it can't be taught, Skilliter said. Successful officials tune into their hockey sense by blocking out personal off-ice issues at all times, he said. Once a full-time fireman, Skilliter, a 26-year-old Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, native, now regularly travels from East Coast to West Coast. "When we have days off, we call them 'GTL' or gym/tan/laundry days," Skilliter said. "At our level, if we don't work, we don't get paid, so we try and stay as healthy as possible." Since becoming a full-time official this season, Stagnone has worked 94 games between the ECHL and the slightly more skilled American Hockey League. Working developmental leagues required him to live in Omaha, Nebraska, for the last two years. This season, Stagnone relocated to Greenville, South Carolina, to work as one of 69 linesmen for the ECHL's southeastern teams. The men are competing against others in the field for a narrow chance in the NHL while making little pay; officiating in the lower leagues may seem like it has little to recommend itself as a career. Skilliter recommends having a solid back-up career in place, because leagues can only hire a few guys at a time. If you can't imagine not wearing the stripes, ask about officiating at your local hockey rink. "You can have a career where you work 9 to 5, but it's not near as exciting as this," Skilliter said. "There are no guarantees. You have to put your life on hold and you never get to go home. You have to be a little nuts." The pressure of making quick judgments on disputed goals or penalties is part of officiating life, but never so much as right now during the playoffs. "In the playoffs, when the crowd gets going and there have been some big hits and things are going crazy, you don't know what to expect next," Stagnone said. "That's when you just kind of think to yourself, 'Wow, this is a pretty good job.'"
Getting hit by pucks and breaking up fights is just one challenge for hockey officials . Developmental leagues hire skilled skaters with good judgment, hungry for the NHL . While the hockey players get regular line changes, officials get a break every 30 minutes . "Hockey sense," anticipating plays before they happen, is a must for officials .

Data for the first 12 months of the . Work Programme showed the £5billion initiative secured lasting . employment for just one in every 50 people referred, at a cost of . £14,000 a job. The . scheme – personally championed by the Prime Minister – pays private . sector firms such as A4e and G4S to find jobs for the long-term . unemployed. But of the . 785,360 people referred to the Work Programme in its first year, just . 18,270 were found a lasting job – equal to just 2.3 per cent. Champion: The back-to-work scheme is a flagship programme for the . PM while Employment Minister Mark Hoban insisted it was still early days for . the £5billion scheme . Officials . at the Department for Work and Pensions had estimated that 5 per cent . would find jobs on their own if the scheme did not exist, and firms were . set a minimum target of getting 5.5 per cent of ‘clients’ into work in . the first year. Employment . minister Mark Hoban said last night it was ‘early days’, and pointed . out that the targets were set when economic growth forecasts were . better. He added that . more than 200,000 people had been found work  of some sort, although in . many cases this lasted only a few weeks or months. He said it was ‘clearly ridiculous’ to suggest that more people would have found jobs if the Work Programme had not existed. Only 3.5 per cent of people referred to the Work Programme in its first year stayed off benefits and in a job . Spending . on the programme so far totals £435million. Providers can earn between . £3,700 and £13,700 per person, depending how hard it is to help them, . with an initial payment of £400-£600. The . main payments are only made after someone has been in work for six . months – the Government’s definition of sustained employment. The figures reveal wide . variations in the performance of the companies involved, but Mr Hoban . said the worst had been warned they could be stripped of their contracts . unless they upped their game by next April. Labour . branded the scheme  a ‘miserable failure’, and shadow work and pensions . secretary Liam Byrne said the figures revealed it was ‘comprehensively . failing’. Over 50s are forced to become their own boss . Margaret Hodge, chairman of the Commons . public accounts committee, said the initiative was falling ‘woefully . short of expectations’. Woefully short of expectation: Chairman of the Commons public accounts committee, Margaret Hodge criticised the scheme . She added: ‘The success of this . programme will be measured on getting people off unemployment benefit . and into sustainable jobs who without the programme would not have found . work. ‘There is little value to the taxpayer or society in having people sitting on a scheme for over  two years.’ Individuals . are placed on the programme for two years, meaning a full assessment of . it will not be possible for another 12 months. Officials . said the most recent figures, covering the scheme’s first 14 months, . suggested it was starting to take off, with the jobs rate improving . slightly to 3.5 per cent. Public . concern over the programme erupted earlier this year when it emerged . that A4e boss Emma Harrison had paid herself £8.6million last year, . despite claims that the firm’s record in finding jobs for the unemployed . was ‘abysmal’. It also emerged that the firm was being investigated by the police over allegations of fraud. Mrs . Harrison was forced to resign as the company’s chairman and quit her . role as Mr Cameron’s ‘back to work’ tsar in the resulting row, although . she remains the main shareholder in A4e.
The Work Programme pays companies and charities if they get long-term unemployed into a job . Officials thought 5% of people would find work on their own - more than the 3.5% helped by the scheme . 200,000 have been found some work but many last just a few weeks before going back on benefits . Two in three workers over 50 plan to work beyond the state pension age – most of them women, a report reveals today. The majority say they cannot afford to retire and on average expect to work an extra six years. The . report found 6.5million of the 9.9million workers over 50 do not plan . to retire at the state pension age. Of these, 4.1million are women, . compared with 2.4million men. The . study, by the retirement specialist LV, highlights the social impact of . the pensions crisis as gold-plated schemes, which guarantee a . comfortable retirement, have all but vanished.

'The second time was when I was 14. At school, a friend was taken to hospital because he had broken his arm. 'When he was discharged from Frimley Park, I wanted to get home for my tea. I pressed the traffic lights button and just ran across the road and was run down. 'In 1990, I was working on the back of a lorry when I broke a vertebrae in my neck. The other brush I had was when I got an electric shock when the back came off a plug and I touched the prongs . His latest close shave came after he travelled to Newquay last Friday to attend cousin Lewis Ashton’s engagement party . Mr Ashton, from Frimely, Surrey, was drinking with the group until around midnight, when he left in order to help a disabled member of the party back to the hotel. After seeing his friend home safe, he headed back out to rejoin the party at around 12.30am. Mr Ashton was knocked unconscious as he fell from this cliff at 12.30am, and woke up at the bottom at 5am when the tide began lapping at his feet . He said: 'We weren’t going crazy. It was the first night, we were pacing ourselves. The lads knew that I’d gone back to the hotel quickly. 'Walking back, I heard the sea. We had all pledged we’d jump in at some stage over the weekend so I thought I’d take a quick look down, but it was pretty dark. 'I stepped over maybe a 3ft fence, but then I slipped on the gravel in the dark. I started sliding - I could see the edge lit up by the moonlight and it was then I just knew that I was going over.' Mr Ashton said the fall knocked him unconscious, and he only woke up four hours later. He added: 'I woke up at around 5am with the tide lapping at my feet. I’d lost my shoes at some stage. The last thing that I recall was the sound of the wind in my ears getting louder and louder as I fell. 'My first thought was simply "Blimey, I’m alive!". I was in total shock. I didn’t feel any pain.' Mr Ashton then fought his way through brambles and nettles back up to the cliff top, where he joined his friends in the hotel for a fry-up breakfast. 'My mates found me and said, "what the hell happened to you last night?", so I just told them - I fell off the cliff,' he said. 'After a few laughs, they got me in an ambulance and sent me off to hospital.' 'The paramedics took a look at the cliff and said it must have been an 80ft-100ft drop. It was absolutely sheer. I didn’t tumble down - I fell down freely. 'A girl from the hotel, Ali, came along with me to the hospital and told me the cliff I fell from was a notorious black spot and that four or five people had died there in the past.' Mr Ashton was treated for cuts and bruises in Cornwall, and when he arrived back in Surrey, a CT scan revealed he had a trapped nerve in his neck, but was otherwise unhurt. He added: 'It was only supposed to be a little trip to the beach - I just took a bit of a shortcut. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a bit clumsy. I guess it was a pretty typical stag do overall!'

A US-led operation has disrupted an international crime ring that infected hundreds of thousands of PCs across the globe with malicious software that stole more than $100 million from businesses and members of the public since 2011. The Justice Department announced on Monday that anywhere between 500,000 and 1 million machines worldwide were affected by the virus's known as Gameover Zeus which stole banking passwords and Crytolocker, which encrypted files and blackmailed the users for their release. Among the victims of the cyber-attacks were Pittsburgh based Reinforced Plastics of Erie, which lost $373,000 in one money transfer and the Swansea, Massachusetts police department, which paid a $750 ransom after their computers were infected. Scroll down for video . Threat: U.S Deputy Attorney General James Cole announces two global cyber fraud disruptions of the Gameover Zeus and Cyrptolocker programs at the Department of Justice in Washington on June 2, 2014 . Other victims included a Florida bank that lost nearly $7 million through an unauthorized wire transfer. Authorities in nearly a dozen countries worked with private security companies to wrest control of the network of infected machines. 'These schemes were highly sophisticated and immensely lucrative, and the cyber criminals did not make them easy to reach or disrupt,' said Leslie Caldwell, who heads the Justice Department's criminal division, to a news conference. But while the grip of those behind the 'malware' has been weakened by the counter attack, computer experts said users must take this opportunity to install anti-virus software and update their operating systems to the latest versions to stop it regaining its hold. 'The criminals effectively held for ransom every private email, business plan, child's science project, or family photograph - every single important and personal file stored on the victim's computer,' Leslie Caldwell, the head of the Justice Department's criminal division, said at a news conference. Those who fail to do so risk having their valuable data, including precious photographs, music and personal files held to ransom. In the worst cases, victims could lose access to their bank accounts which could be systematically drained by the criminal network. The Gameover Zeus software, has spread worldwide but has been temporarily disabled by the international effort by law enforcement agencies. Potential victims can protect themselves but have only a short time to do so before the hackers rebuild the network. Hackers will be able to install new ones, but it is thought that there will be a window of opportunity of at least two weeks for computer users to protect themselves. Many of those whose computers have already been infected will be contacted by their internet service providers. The software installs itself on a computer when the victim clicks on a link in an unsolicited email or via a website. It then sends out more emails to lure further victims, without the knowledge of the computer users, and spreads quickly across the internet. In the worst cases, victims could lose access to their bank accounts which could be systematically drained . Could Russian Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev, pictured, be the behind the global cyber virus pandemic? He is the man suspected of being behind a gang that has sparked a global cyber virus pandemic. But the FBI has already spent years looking for Russian Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev who uses the online names ‘lucky12345’ and ‘slavik’. The 30-year-old is already wanted for his alleged involvement in a ‘racketeering enterprise’ that installed malicious software known as ‘Zeus’ on victims’ computers. The software was used to capture bank account numbers, passwords, personal identification numbers, and other information needed to log into online banking accounts. The FBI believes Bogachev knowingly acted in a role as an administrator while others involved in the scheme conspired to distribute spam and phishing emails, which contained links to compromised websites. Victims who visited these web sites were infected with the malware, which Bogachev and others allegedly used to steal money from the victims’ bank accounts. This online account takeover fraud has been investigated by the FBI since the summer of 2009.Starting in September 2011, the FBI began investigating a modified version of the Zeus Trojan, known as Gameover Zeus (GOZ). It is believed GOZ is responsible for more than one million computer infections, resulting in financial losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars. On August 22, 2012, Bogachev was indicted under the nickname ‘lucky12345’ by a federal grand jury in the District of Nebraska on a number of charges including Bank Fraud, Conspiracy to Violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and Aggravated Identity Theft. On May 19, 2014, Bogachev was indicted in his true name by a federal grand jury in the Western District of Pennsylvania on charges of Conspiracy, Computer Fraud, Wire Fraud, Bank Fraud and Money Laundering. Then just days ago on May 30, a criminal complaint was issued in the District of Nebraska that ties the previously indicted nickname of ‘lucky12345’ to Bogachev and charges him with Conspiracy to Commit Bank Fraud. He is described as white with brown hair (though his head is usually shaved) and brown eyes. He is 5ft 9ins tall and weighs around 180 pounds (82kg). Bogachev was last known to live in Anapa, Russia. He is believed to enjoy boating and may travel to locations along the Black Sea in his boat. He also owns property in Krasnodar, Russia. The virus lays dormant until it spots an opportunity to steal personal details such as online banking information and passwords. It then transmits this information back to the criminal network who use it to drain the victim’s accounts. In a further twist, if the user is not a ‘viable’ victim then the software locks the information on the computer and holds it to ransom. Last night, the U.S. Justice Department filed papers accusing a Russian named Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev as being the leader of the gang behind the software. U.S. officials said Bogachev was last known to be living in the Black Sea resort town of Anapa. A civil suit in Pennsylvania helped authorities get court orders to seize parts of the infected network, and on May 7, Ukrainian authorities seized and copied Gameover Zeus command servers in Kiev and Donetsk, officials said. Potential victims can protect themselves but have only a short time to do so before the hackers - whose attempts have been temporarily thwarted - can rebuild their network. The US Department of Homeland Security urged users to install anti-virus software on their computer and ensure that the latest operating systems were also installed on their computers. If systems do not offer automatic updates, people should enable it, the department said. It also advised changing passwords, as original passwords may have been compromised during the infection. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security set up a website to help victims remove the malware, www.us-cert.gov/gameoverzeus. From that website, computer users can download tailored anti-virus software which has been provided for free. Experts have also warned users to back-up all valuable data. Many of those whose computers have already been infected will be contacted by their internet service providers. He faces criminal charges in Pittsburgh, where he was named in a 14-count indictment, and in Nebraska, where a criminal complaint was filed. He has not been arrested, but Deputy Attorney General James Cole said U.S. authorities were in contact with Russia to try to bring him into custody. Russia does not extradite accused criminals to other countries, so Bogachev may never be arrested. 'The criminals effectively held for ransom every private email, business plan, child's science project, or family photograph - every single important and personal file stored on the victim's computer,' Leslie Caldwell, the head of the Justice Department's criminal division, said at a news conference. The FBI called the alleged ringleader, 30-year-old Evgeniy Bogachev, one of the most prolific cyber criminals in the world and issued a 'Wanted' poster, pictuted, that lists his online monikers and describes him as a boating enthusiast . Officials say the case is another stark reminder of the evolving cybercrime threat, though it's unrelated to the recently unsealed cyber-espionage indictment of five Chinese military hackers accused of stealing trade secrets from American firms. Both sets of hackers relied on similar tactics - including sending emails to unsuspecting victims that installed malware - but the Chinese defendants were government officials who sought information that could bring companies in their country a competitive advantage. Bogachev's operation, prosecutors say, consisted of criminals in Russia, Ukraine and the United Kingdom who were assigned different roles within the conspiracy. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security set up a website to help victims remove the malware, www.us-cert.gov/gameoverzeus.

(RollingStone.com) -- The Rolling Stones began their 50th anniversary tour with the biggest possible bang on Sunday night, as a host of special guests joined them for a hit-packed show in London's O2 Arena. Former Stones comrades Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor returned to the ranks, while Mary J. Blige and Jeff Beck were also on hand to help with the celebrations. Wyman -- who left the Stones in 1992 -- was greeted with warm applause and a handshake from Keith Richards as he returned to play bass on "It's Only Rock and Roll" and "Honky Tonk Women." But the biggest cheers came for Taylor, who hasn't been a Stone since 1974 -- he played trademark blues guitar solos on an extended version of "Midnight Rambler" and looked like he was enjoying every second of the reunion. Rare and Intimate Pictures of the Rolling Stones . Blige brought a gospel feel to "Gimme Shelter," trading vocal acrobatics with Mick Jagger, and Beck did a flashy guitar turn on 1969's "I'm Going Down." But, despite the headline-grabbing special guests, the evening remained very much about the Stones' core members and their remarkable career, with the set spanning from their second-ever single, 1963's "I Wanna Be Your Man" to their latest, 2012's "Doom and Gloom." In fact, it ended up pretty much like anyone else's 50th birthday party: there were some old friends, some laughs, some tears, plenty of memories and a lot of embarrassing dancing -- plus it was all over in time for everyone to get the last train home. That said, the evening began half an hour later than billed, at 8.30 p.m., with a video in which stars from Iggy Pop to Elton John and Johnny Depp to Nick Cave revealed how their first time hearing the Stones impacted them. Then a host of drummers wearing gorilla masks -- a nod to the cover of their new hits compilation, GRRR! -- paraded around the arena before "I Wanna Be Your Man" kicked things off. Simian percussionists and the massive, lips-shaped stage set aside, this was a relatively gimmick-free Stones set, both in terms of stage production and musical feel. This was the Stones in the raw -- or, at least, as raw as they can be after 50 years together and when playing in front of 20,000 fans. So hits like "Get Off of My Cloud," "It's All Over Now" and "Paint It Black," plus a raucous "All Down the Line" were rattled through with minimum ceremony, at maximum volume. A Rolling Stones album guide . Jagger, however, was in vintage showman form. In between pumping up the crowd with regular forays down a runway that ran around a central "lips" pit full of hardcore fans, he brought plenty of funnies, at one point even joking about the controversy over the cost of tickets for the show, which started at £90 (some were re-sold for thousands of pounds online). "Everybody alright in the cheap seats?" Jagger asked. "They aren't so cheap though, are they? That's the trouble . . . " "What a year it's been for British celebrations," Jagger quipped later. "There was the Queen's Diamond Jubilee . . . We didn't do that. The Olympics . . . We didn't do that. James Bond's 50th anniversary . . . And we didn't do the song for that either! But I'm so glad that we're here and that you're here." Richards -- while seemingly content to let Ronnie Wood do some of the heavy lifting on guitar -- was in similarly jocular form. "It's good to see you all," Richards grinned as he took the mic for a two-song stint, "Before They Make Me Run" and "Happy," adding, "It's good to see anybody." The other members also took their moment in the sun, Wood milking the applause to such an extent that Jagger was moved to jokingly warn him that people "had to catch the last tube." In contrast, drummer Charlie Watts only reluctantly stepped to the front of the stage to take his bow. The set closed with a peerless run of classics, including "Start Me Up," "Tumbling Dice" and "Brown Sugar," before Jagger donned a feathery cloak for an epic "Sympathy for the Devil" to close the main set. After a brief break they returned with not one, but two choirs for a stunning "You Can't Always Get What You Want" before a final "Jumpin' Jack Flash," with Richards' kinetic riffing center stage, ended the evening with a massive crowd singalong. Jumpin' Jack Flashback! Rolling Stones film from '65 released . True, even after 50 years, the Stones still couldn't get any "Satisfaction" -- the 1965 hit was the most notable absentee from the set, despite appearing on the set list handed to the media. But as Jagger left the stage, still jogging and shaking his maracas after two and a half hours and 23 songs, it was clear that even at these ticket prices, the Stones' 50th anniversary shows deliver value for money. Set list: . "I Wanna Be Your Man" "Get Off of My Cloud" "It's All Over Now" "Paint It, Black" "Gimme Shelter" "Wild Horses" "All Down the Line" "I'm Going Down" "Out of Control" "One More Shot" "Doom and Gloom" "It's Only Rock and Roll" "Honky Tonk Women" "Before They Make Me Run" "Happy" "Midnight Rambler" "Miss You" "Start Me Up" "Tumbling Dice" "Brown Sugar" "Sympathy for the Devil" "You Can't Always Get What You Want" "Jumpin' Jack Flash" See original story at RollingStone.com.

By . Alex Horlock . PUBLISHED: . 10:34 EST, 11 November 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 15:03 EST, 11 November 2012 . Luis Suarez pounced on a Jamie Carragher header to snatch a draw for Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. John Terry opened the scoring before being carried off having collided with Suarez in the first half, but Chelsea succumbed to pressure in the 73rd minute. Click here to read the full report . John Terry's return to Chelsea's starting line-up was cut short by a nasty-looking injury in the first half against Liverpool - just 15 minutes after he bagged a goal. Terry, back in the side for the first time having served a four-match ban for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, was carried off while holding his face and screaming in agony after Liverpool striker Luis Suarez slipped and landed awkwardly on the 31-year-old's knee. The European champions have an anxious wait ahead of them, as Terry will undergo an MRI scan at 9am tomorrow morning on the injured right knee. Suarez took to Twitter to offer his condolences to Terry, posting on his official Twitter page: 'A shame we could't get the three points. Game over: John Terry's return was cut short . As it happened: Luis Suarez lost control, slipped and landed with all his weight on Terry's knee . 'Glad to to help the team with another goal... Hugs to Terry, I hope it's nothing serious.' Gary Cahill hastily stepped in for . Terry in the 37th minute, who seemed to know immediately that he would . be unable to continue, putting up a hand to indicate the need for a . substitution. Little more than fifteen minutes earlier, Terry was enjoying a dream return to the fray. The Chelsea captain powered home a header to put his side a goal up at Stamford Bridge. Juan Mata found the unmarked former England international in the box from a corner, who obliged by glancing his effort past a stranded Brad Jones. Terry's subsequent injury was clearly an accident, and no blame could be attributed to Suarez. The Uruguayan bore down on Terry with the ball at his feet while being pursued by Ramires. Bizarre: Luis Suarez tweeted 'hugs' to John Terry after the accidental collision . Terry stood square on as Suarez - who slipped, or was perhaps nudged from behind by Ramires - fell, landing with all his weight on the centre back's outstretched right leg. After five minutes of on-pitch treatment, Terry was carried off and straight down the tunnel past manager Roberto Di Matteo, who attempted to console him. Suarez looked concerned as he stood over his injured opponent. But the striker showed little mercy later in the game as he latched onto a Jamie Carragher header to nod home from close range. Di Matteo revealed the club did not know the extent of Terry's knee injury with the captain set for a scan tomorrow. The Italian told Sky Sports 1: 'He has a problem with his knee and will have an MRI scan tomorrow. Ecstasy to agony: Terry scored his team's only goal of the afternoon (left) before leaving Stamford Bridge on crutches (right) Hobbling: Terry (left) had his leg in a brace as he left the Chelsea ground . 'At the moment we can't say, we'll have to wait for the scan which will tell us the extent of the injury. He is certainly a player that is influential for us. We will miss him.' He added: 'When a player reacts like that, it's a concern. He's in pain now. He'll go to hospital tomorrow for a scan. 'We hope it's not a serious injury, but we'll see.' Terry was consoled by Di Matteo before disappearing down the tunnel to receive treatment before returning home. 'I was concerned about his well-being,' the Italian added. 'We just got him back into the team after the ban. It was great seeing him out there.' 'He started the game very well, showing the qualities he has, and the experience and influence. 'It's a real shame he had to come off as he was having a very good game.' To make matters worse, Ashley Cole was already out with a hamstring problem and David Luiz missed Liverpool's visit with tonsillitis. Di Matteo is hoping to dodge a defensive crisis, and said he was 'hopeful' the pair would be fit in time for Saturday's trip to West Brom. Ouch: Luis Suarez accidentally ended up landing on Terry's knee . Concern: The Uruguayan attempted to comfort Terry after the incident . 'At centre-back we have cover,' said . Di Matteo, who was slightly less optimistic about Frank Lampard's . return, who missed today's game with a calf problem.

(CNN) -- President Obama delivered his long-awaited and wide-ranging speech Thursday on American and Muslim relations, offering a hand of friendship to Islam and addressing an array of quandaries and conflicts dividing the two cultures. President Obama urges a new chapter in ties between the U.S. and Muslims in a speech Thursday in Cairo, Egypt. At Egypt's Cairo University, Obama quoted from the Quran as he expounded on Islam's glories and rights, the legitimate rights of Israel and the Palestinians, Iranian nuclear aspirations, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, women's rights, economic development, and religious rights and democracy in the Muslim world. The address, billed as a fence-mending mission between the United States and Islam, urged those present and the people across the globe viewing the speech on television to enter a new, productive and peaceful chapter in their relationship. Obama's stop in Egypt is part of a trip that started in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday and will continue later to Germany and France. Watch Obama's entire speech » . "I know there are many -- Muslim and non-Muslim -- who question whether we can forge this new beginning," Obama said, emphasizing that "it is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward, to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share." Obama reiterated a statement he made in Turkey in April. "In Ankara, I made clear that America is not -- and never will be -- at war with Islam. "We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security -- because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women and children. And it is my first duty as president to protect the American people." Obama explored the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, endorsing a two-state solution and urging compromise and understanding between "two peoples with legitimate aspirations." iReport.com: A reaction to Obama's speech . And then he entered into the conflict's thickets, understanding claims from both sides. He said the United States "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements" seen by Muslims as impediments to Middle East peace. Watch as Obama seeks a "new beginning" » . "This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop." Calling America's "strong bond" with Israel "unbreakable," he said, "It is based upon cultural and historical ties and the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied." He denounced the denial of the Holocaust and anti-Semitic stereotyping, and criticized anyone who would threaten Israel's destruction. Expounding on the plight of Palestinians, Obama said "it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people -- Muslims and Christians -- have suffered in pursuit of a homeland." "For more than 60 years they have endured the pain of dislocation. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead," he said. Watch Obama discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict » . "They endure the daily humiliations -- large and small -- that come with occupation. So let there be no doubt: The situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity and a state of their own." Obama also denounced Palestinian violence and the rejection by some of Israeli existence -- both seen by Israel as obstacles to peace. The president conjured the lessons of America's civil rights movement when he urged Palestinians to "abandon violence." "Resistance through violence and killing is wrong, and it does not succeed. For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation," he said. "It was not violence that won full and equal rights. It was a peaceful and determined insistence upon the ideals at the center of America's founding." The conflict, Obama said, needs to be seen from a larger perspective, not from the viewpoint of one side or another. And both sides must live up to the responsibilities of the moribund "road map" peace process, he said. Watch CNN's Christiane Amanpour on Obama's message of detente » . He added that the Hamas movement -- which controls Gaza -- and has some support among Palestinians must end violence and recognize past agreements. He also urged Arab states to no longer use the conflict to distract their peoples from other problems. "The only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live in peace and security," he said. Obama talked about the importance of confronting violent extremism, touching on the fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. Emphasizing the fact that the United States entered Afghanistan by "necessity" and not "choice," he countered the stances of some "who "question or justify the events of 9/11." "But let us be clear: Al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with," he said. Obama said the United States does not seek to keep its troops in Afghanistan or establish military bases there but needs to continue the fight against "extremists," with both military power and investment in the infrastructure and economy of Pakistan and Afghanistan. "It is agonizing for America to lose our young men and women. It is costly and politically difficult to continue this conflict. We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can. But that is not yet the case," he said. He addressed the conflict in Iraq, calling it unlike Afghanistan "a war of choice that provoked strong differences in my country and around the world." "Although I believe that the Iraqi people are ultimately better off without the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, I also believe that events in Iraq have reminded America of the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible," he said. He said the United States needs to help Iraq "forge a better future and leave Iraq to Iraqis." "I have made it clear to the Iraqi people that we pursue no bases, and no claim on their territory or resources. Iraq's sovereignty is its own. That is why I ordered the removal of our combat brigades by next August. That is why we will honor our agreement with Iraq's democratically elected government to remove combat troops from Iraqi cities by July, and to remove all our troops from Iraq by 2012." Speaking about prohibiting torture and the closing of the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility, Obama talked about working on "concrete actions to change course" and correct abuses in the war on terror. "Just as America can never tolerate violence by extremists, we must never alter our principles. 9/11 was an enormous trauma to our country. The fear and anger that it provoked was understandable, but in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our traditions and our ideals," he said. Obama dwelled on the tensions over nuclear weapons between the United States and Iran and the "tumultuous history" between the countries. He pointed to the U.S. role in overthrowing a democratically elected government during the Cold War era and Iran's role in hostage-taking and violence against U.S. troops and civilians since the Islamic revolution in 1979. The president reiterated his desire to move forward with Iran on many issues, saying the "question, now, is not what Iran is against, but rather what future it wants to build." "But it is clear to all concerned that when it comes to nuclear weapons, we have reached a decisive point. This is not simply about America's interests. It is about preventing a nuclear arms race in the Middle East that could lead this region and the world down a hugely dangerous path." The United States and other Western nations have opposed what they believe are Iran's intentions to develop nuclear weapons. Obama said that any nation, including Iran, "should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty." He said such a "commitment" is at the treaty's core and "it must be kept for all who fully abide by it." "And I am hopeful that all countries in the region can share in this goal," Obama said.

Convicted child killer Brett Peter Cowan, who tore the Morcombe family to pieces when he killed 13-year-old Daniel 10 years ago, has been seen behind bars for the first time looking visibly fit and healthy. The mug shot of the once gaunt and frail looking Cowan, obtained by Channel 7, shows the prisoner with a fuller face and facial hair just four months after he was jailed within Australia's maximum security prison - the Wolston Correctional Centre. The image has brought disgust to the faces of Bruce and Denise Morcombe, Daniel's parents, who are still tormented by the man who abused and killed their son when he chocked him in an abandoned house in 2003. Scroll down for video . Daniel Morcombe's killer Brett Peter Cowan had requests for the chocolate cereal Coco Pops in jail turned down but is still looking fit and healthy . How Brett Peter Cowan looked - a frail and gaunt figure - before he was locked away in Wolston Correctional Centre . Daniel Morcombe went missing from a Sunshine Coast bus stop back in 2003 . It is an unwanted reminder of their son's killer, Bruce Morcombe said, who highlighted that despite his change in physical appearance is still the same man who abducted Daniel from a Sunshine Coast bus stop 10 years ago before killing him. 'You can't change a leopard's spots,' he said, as he and wife Denise painfully looked at the image of Cowan when shown by a Channel 7 reporter. 'The goatee, chin-beard is very prominent...he does look a little porky.' Denise Morcombe found his look equally as unflattering: 'He's grown his goatee back..and he's died his hair darker,' as she described the man as an evil child killer and molester that nobody liked. 'No one likes a child killer or molester, and that's what Cowan is,' she said in the Channel 7 interview. It is the first time Bruce and Denise Morcombe had seen their son's killer since he was led away from Brisbane Supreme Court following his  sentencing. Bruce and Denise Morcombe speak after the first photo of Brett Peter Cowan from behind bars emerges of him looking fit and healthy . When he was imprisoned, he had special food requests such as Coco Pops rejected, but in his cell he has his own TV, radio, toilet and shower. Himself a father, Cowan has three children but they won't be seeing their dad for at least 20 years when the 44-year-old is eligible for parole from his maximum security cell. He will be kept in solitary confinement during his time inside purely for his own protection from prison inmates. In some cases, according to prison staff, Cowan requires high level escorts when he leaves his cell to guard him down the halls during weekly visits to the doctor. He visits a gym, a concrete room with a single sun-drenched window, which is the only time he ever gets to see life life outside. Bruce Morcombe said he knows Cowan would be doing it tough, and quite frankly, didn't care much for his treatment behind bars. In a message to Cowan Mr Morcombe told the father of three neither he nor his wife 'feel sorry for sorry him' 'Suck it up,' he said. The high fences and tough security that keeps high-profile inmates, such as Cowan, locked behind the Wolston Correctional Centre . The first images from inside Cowan's cell - complete with a toilet, shower and bed . The parents of Daniel Morcombe leave Brisbane court after Cowan was found guilty for the murder o Daniel in March last year . Back in March Cowan was found guilty of murder, indecent treatment of a child and interfering with a corpse. The Morcombe family declined to be present for the sentencing, in which Supreme Court Judge Roslyn Atkinson spoke at length about Cowan's crimes. She described his crime as 'entirely abhorrent.' 'You didn't look like a monster, you didn't look like a peadophile, you looked like an ordinary person,' she said. 'You knew if he ran away, you'd be caught. So you killed him. You killed him because you didn't want to get caught. 'Everything you did to that boy is horrific and disgraceful. I've seen no evidence in the months you've been in this court that you ever felt any remorse for what you did. 'You have tragically and pointlessly snuffed out a young life.'

On December 10 last year a huge crowd rallied in Moscow. The people were fired up about alleged election fraud and fed up with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. It was unprecedented in the country's post-Soviet history. Unthinkable in Putin's Russia. It inspired predictions of a Russian Winter to rival the Arab Spring. Now three months, and several huge opposition rallies later, Putin looks certain to be elected president again. So what happened? The big protests were ultimately triggered by claims that widespread cheating boosted the results for Putin's United Russia party in December's parliamentary election -- claims the Kremlin denied. But there were other factors. Putin's announcement three months earlier that he would bump Dmitry Medvedev and seek the presidency again for himself was a key moment. It wasn't a total surprise. Many had long suspected that Medvedev was just a seat warmer, helping the real boss work around the constitution and its limit of two consecutive presidential terms. But there was also hope Medvedev, who is considered a reformer, would find the fire in his belly to openly fight for the top job. It was a naive hope. The brazen admission of their private deal was like an open hand slap to the face -- a stinging reminder of who really has the power. Suddenly Russians were confronted with the possibility of 12 more years of Vladimir Putin's rule. Many of the people most appalled by that idea have done well under Putin. They're educated, well traveled and economically comfortable. For Russia's new middle class the authoritarian stability of the Putin years has brought prosperity. But it's no longer enough. Now they want their vote to count and they want to use it to get rid of Putin. "The most educated, the most responsible part of Russian society has come together to deliver a single message," one first-time protester told me. "The current government has no right to represent Russian society. They don't say what we want to say. They don't take actions we want to take." So says the urban middle class. But they don't speak for the country. "It's pure mathematics," says Putin's spokesperson Dimitri Peskov. "Yes we have something like 70,000 people out there [protesting] on Sakharov Avenue but at the same time we have to keep in mind they are a minority. The majority of the population does not live here in Moscow. We have a huge country and if we look eastwards we'll see lots and lots of big cities, small towns and rural populations that still support Putin pretty well." There's another important reason why Putin appears set to win. There's no obvious alternative. Putin's closest electoral competitor is the Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov -- a serial election loser. This would be his fourth defeat. Two other candidates, right-wing table thumper Vladimir Zhirinovsky and left-leaning Sergey Mironov have also run and lost spectacularly in the past. Billionaire businessman Mikhail Prokhorov is the only fresh face in the pack. On paper, his manifesto of democratic and economic reforms should appeal to many of Moscow's protesters. But he's struggling to shake off his reputation for being too close to the regime. Cynics call him a Kremlin project, a candidate designed to credibly attract the middle class vote without posing a genuine threat. Prokhorov's repeated denials and slick campaign have not seen his polling move beyond single figure territory. The line-up of wannabe presidents is said to be another example of what's known here as "managed democracy" where opposition candidates and parties are tolerated but only if they know their place. Critics describe it as the illusion of democracy. While Vladimir Putin's victory seems assured, we don't know what it will look like. Will there be more allegations of fraud? Will he win comfortably? Or will he get less than 50% of the vote and be forced into a runoff with the second place candidate? The last scenario appears increasingly unlikely but it's what leaders of the opposition movement are desperately hoping for. It would be a clear sign Putin's support is eroding as well as an opportunity to weaken him further. But however he wins, the next Russian president can expect continued public dissent. "We want to see new elections," says leading opposition figure Alexei Navalny. "Vladimir Putin won't win on March 4. He will appoint himself as tsar. He'll try to remain Russian president for the rest of his life. We need to fight and stop him from wrongly taking power. Our goal is to keep pressure on Putin." In light of that intent, the answer to one question will sharply define Russia's immediate future: How would President Putin respond to further challenges to his authority? Vladimir Putin remains a sure bet for the presidential election. Beyond that there's only one other certainty. He'll be leader of a country that has changed dramatically in the last three months.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 17:37 EST, 14 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 17:37 EST, 14 January 2014 . The family of a missing autistic boy are pleading with the FBI to take on the case as the desperate search for the teenager continues. Avonte Oquendo disappeared from Riverview School in Long Island City, New York at lunchtime on October 4 after running out of a security door that had been left open. The 14-year-old is particularly vulnerable because his type of autism leaves him unable to speak and in need of 24-hour care. For months, the boy's family has organized search parties to scour the city for him, placed missing posters on the subway and in stores and raised a $95,000 reward. There have been a few sightings of teenage boys who closely resemble Avonte, raising the family's hopes - but he remains missing. Avonte Oquendo, 14, who is autistic and cannot speak, is still missing almost four months after he ran out of his school in Long Island City, New York . A new poster for the missing teenager was put out earlier this month as his family and friends keep up the pressure to find him . The Oquendo family are keeping up the pressure in the search. On January 5, the family posted a message on the Facebook page that they have set up to help find the boy pleading for FBI involvement. The message thanked volunteers for their continued help in looking for the missing teen over the winter holidays. The message continued: 'We would like to clarify that we have sought the help of the FBI and had petitioned them to take the lead in the investigation regarding Avonte. 'There are several legal reasons they gave us for not being legally permitted to take over the investigation. The most noted is that the NYPD has listed Avonte as a missing person, not a victim of kidnapping or other such federal offense(s) that would require the FBI's involvement. 'It is our deepest desire for the FBI to get involved but there is a system in place that requires protocol, we cannot force the FBI to get involved and we continually ask and pray they do.' The Oquendo family were devastated by remarks made by former NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly in October where he said it was unlikely that the teenager would be found alive. Kelly has since apologized for his remarks. Runaway: CCTV footage shows Avonte Oquendo running through the corridors of his school towards the exit on October 4 . Avonte’s brother Danny Oquendo Jr has relocated from Florida to New York to drive the efforts to find his brother. Thousands of followers have been added to Danny’s social media accounts . and a Facebook page called Missing Avonte Oquendo has become a virtual . hub for the search. Facebook . followers have helped get the missing boy's flier widely dispersed and . have even had it translated into Chinese and Portuguese. Escape: Once he got outside, Avonte Oquendo ran down the street out of sight and hasn't been seen since . A Department of Education investigation has also taken place into how the autistic boy managed to get out of his special needs school and how teaching staff handled his disappearance. Avonte's . mother Vanessa, along with police, were not informed of his disappearance until . at least an hour after he ran from the school building. The . school failed to go into lockdown mode while none of the administrators . had passwords to access the surveillance cameras at the school on the . day of Avonte's disappearance, according to Capital New York. Without . access to the security footage, school officials originally believed . Avonte 'ran back up another staircase' and remained in the building. Vanessa Fontaine, left, Avonte's mother, arrives at a vigil for her son on October 11 in Queens. The missing boy's family continue to keep up the search for him .
Avonte Oquendo, 14, disappeared from his NYC school on October 4 . Teenager is unable to speak because of his autism and needs 24-hour care . FBI cannot become involved because the teen is listed as a missing person by NYPD and the case therefore does not require federal involvement .

He is the first non-Iranian to be appointed since Croatia's Branko Ivankovic ended his second stint after the 2006 World Cup. Queiroz had agreed to take the job in February but then changed his mind due to family reasons, the official IRNA news agency reported. Marvelous Mourinho record falls -- but will it ever be beaten? He had been without a job since September, when he was sacked by Portugal after a row with anti-doping officials before the 2010 World Cup. He was banned for six months, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport subsequently overturned that ruling last month despite agreeing that his behavior was unacceptable. Queiroz was criticized by Portuguese media after the national team needed to go to a playoff to qualify for the World Cup in South Africa, where his side lost in the second round to neighbors and eventual champions Spain. He takes over an Iran team which lost in the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup in January under Iran-born U.S. national Afshin Ghotbi, who before the tournament agreed a deal to join Japanese club S Pulse afterwards. The Iranians -- known as "Team Melli" -- begin their campaign to qualify for the 2014 event against the Maldives in July, having failed to win a place among the world's top 32 nations in South Africa. "I am here in Iran to help the team make it to the 2014 World Cup. This is my most important aim and I hope with everyone's help we can make it," Queiroz said after signing his contract live on state television, according to ISNA. "I know about expectations. One thing I can tell you is that everyone thinks that they can reach the four and win the World Cup. But let's be realistic. How many have won the World Cup? We need to plan for the near, mid and long terms." Queiroz will earn a salary of about $2 million a year, according to the website of Iran's English language Press TV channel, as he seeks to restore the fortunes of a nation which won the Asian Cup three times in a row from 1968 and qualified for the World Cup for the third time in 2006. "You need to put together talent, organization and order. The better you put them together, the more chances of success," he said. "Everything is open and I need the support of Iranian coaches. Coaching is about adaptation. If you can't adapt, then you cannot work. After working in different places, I have good chances of adapting in Iran. I worked with players from different continents. I dream of working on the moon." Queiroz first came to prominence as coach of Portugal's national youth teams where he helped uncover future stars such as Luis Figo and Rui Costa, but his first spell in charge of the senior side ended in failure after failing to qualify for Euro '92 and the 1994 World Cup. After an unsuccessful spell as coach of Lisbon's Sporting, he took jobs in the United States, Japan and the United Arab Emirates before being hired by South Africa, but quit after leading the national team to the 2002 World Cup finals. He was taken on by United manager Alex Ferguson and won the English Premier League title in his first season at Old Trafford before becoming the main man at Spanish giants Real Madrid.. Queiroz lasted only a season of his two-year contract after failing to win a major trophy with a squad featuring the likes of Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and David Beckham -- who also moved from United in 2003. He went back to Old Trafford to rejoin Ferguson in 2004, where further success saw him given the Portugal job again in 2008 on a four-year contract.
Carlos Queiroz signs three-year contract to take charge of Iran's national team . The 58-year-old was sacked by Portugal last September after a row with doping officials . His subsequent six-month ban was overturned by Court of Arbitration for Sport last month . Iran lost in the Asian Cup quarterfinals in January and failed to reach 2010 World Cup .

Beijing (CNN) -- Demonstrators braved a heavy police presence and the threat of arrest by massing Thursday in the streets of Kunming, China, to protest the planned construction of a chemical plant, they said. "It was mostly a peaceful protest," said an activist who asked to be identified only by his family name, Young. "We were singing the national anthem, shouting 'Get out, refinery!' together." He added, "We were scattered by the heavy police force in the area. I saw locals scuffling with police, people getting arrested and pulled away." Read more: Can social media clear air over China? The plant is a hot topic in the city, which is the capital of Yunnan province in southwestern China. "Every Kunming person cares about this issue," said another Kunming native, a 50-year-old man who said rows of police thwarted his efforts to reach the heart of the protest. "The police kept blocking off the protest, block by block." Local government officials did not respond to CNN phone calls for comment. Photos posted on Chinese social media sites showed uniformed and riot police surrounding groups of demonstrators. The five activists who spoke to CNN asked not to be named for fear of reprisals from Chinese authorities. The oil refinery and chemical plant would be built in Anning city, about 50 kilometers (31 miles) west of Kunming, according to Xinhua, China's state news agency. Report: China lax in treating, policing lead poisoning . Opponents fear the chemical plant would produce tons of paraxylene, a carcinogenic chemical identified by the acronym PX. Several days after a May 4 protest, the Kunming mayor joined executives from the state China National Petroleum Corp. and the Yuntianhua Group for a joint news conference. "The government will call off the project if most of our citizens say no to it," said Mayor Li Wenrong, according to Xinhua. The provincial general manager of China National Petroleum Corp. has said the refinery will not use the chemical. "The project has no PX facilities, nor will it produce PX products," Hu Jingke said, according to Xinhua. Kunming residents expressed deep distrust of government officials and the state-owned enterprises behind the refinery project. Several said authorities took draconian measures in the days running up to Thursday's protest in an attempt to prevent demonstrators from taking to the streets. Opinion: Why booming China needs to act fast . A 25-year-old Kunming native who asked to be identified as Claire told CNN that police detained and interrogated her for more than nine hours after she was caught distributing anti-refinery fliers on a city street Tuesday. "I understand we need oil refineries," Claire said in a phone interview. She said she opposed this one because "it's just so close to the city and the fact that the whole process was not transparent and we're not allowed to ask questions." Claire said police accused her of staging an "illegal gathering." As part of the interrogation, she said, police took her to the print shop where she had made copies of her fliers. Then they escorted her to her parents' home, where they demanded that she erase files about the refinery from her computer. Finally, she said, they threatened her and banned her from attending Thursday's protest. CNN Blog: Why China's leaders should worry about climate change . "Basically, they're saying if I have this on my record, I won't get any government job or state-owned enterprise job," Claire said. Several other Kunming residents said students and employees of state-owned companies had been warned not to attend the demonstration. "Kunming is a beautiful city, where we have cleaner air than any other cities in this country," Young said. "We fear the refinery will destroy the city's natural environment, and we demanded to see the environmental impact assessment report of this project. But we were rejected by the government who told us it's a 'state secret.' " An executive from Yuntianhua, which also has a major stake in the chemical plant, told journalists that an environmental impact assessment for the project had not been completed, Xinhua said. In March, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao promised that health safeguards would be improved and efforts would be made to control air pollution and make water supplies safer. China air pollution: 'Slightly polluted' or 'hazardous'? "We should adopt effective measures to prevent and control pollution and change the way we work and live," Wen said. The emphasis on environmental and health issues comes as China's leaders confront growing anger about choking pollution, contaminated food, and water that is unsafe to drink. The statistics are staggering. China now burns 3.8 billion tons of coal each year, nearly as much as the rest of the world combined. In January, the smog over Beijing was so thick, it could be seen from space. China's CO2 emissions rose by 720 million tons in 2011 -- a 9.3% increase. Pollution and dust generated in China have been found as far away as California. Maintaining blockbuster growth has sometimes come at the expense of environmental protections. The government has made explicit its intention to weigh environmental regulation against the cost to the economy. But analysts say the public outcry over pollution has tipped the scales. China has already tried to boost the use of alternative sources of power, setting standards for solar energy installation and switching from coal to gas in some cities.

(CNN) -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel fractured her pelvis in a skiing accident in Switzerland over the holidays, her spokesman told reporters Monday. Merkel was cross-country skiing when the accident occurred. Spokesman Steffen Seibert did not disclose the date of the incident, but said her injuries are not thought to be serious and it is thought she will make a full recovery. Merkel, who has been Chancellor of Germany since 2005, will need aid to walk over the next few weeks and will be canceling some of her commitments, Seibert said. Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) said it will delay its party retreat, originally slated for January 10-11, as a result of her accident. The news of Merkel's fall comes just eight days after her fellow countryman Michael Schumacher, the most successful driver in Formula One history, was critically injured while skiing in the French Alps . Schumacher, who fell and hit his head on rocks while skiing off-piste on December 29 in Meribel, has undergone two operations and is in a medically induced coma. The German racing legend remains in a critical but stable condition, according to his manager.

By . Jenny Shields and Jim Mcbeth . PUBLISHED: . 20:04 EST, 2 June 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 13:55 EST, 3 June 2013 . Seeking offers over £295,000 for a remote two-bedroom house was certain to raise eyebrows in today’s sluggish property market. The sellers might have expected to sell their ‘pleasant but unremarkable’ Highland hideaway for a few thousand pounds over the odds. But then Eddrachilles House has a value-added element – the most dramatic panoramic views in the whole of Britain. Room with a view: The bungalow, 20 miles south of Cape Wrath, overlooks Badcall Bay and charmed one buyer into shelling out £530,000 . Stunning: The single storey house in the north west Highlands' view was what drew buyers to the property . And that has persuaded one extremely ‘determined’ house hunter to offer 80 per cent over the asking price. The sale price of just over £530,000 for a modern, single-storey property valued at £300,000 is unlikely to provoke a housing boom in the north-west. But, according to experts, it has sent a ‘frisson of excitement and hope’ through the market. Eddrachilles House is situated at the heart of a crofting community in Sutherland, lying 20 miles south of Cape Wrath, the most north-westerly point on the British mainland, in an area described by all who know it as ‘magical’. The house is not large – it has two reception rooms, a conservatory and two bedrooms which are en suite. Flurry of offers: The house was put on the market by Strutt & Parker, who recorded an 'immediate surge of interest' Must-have property: The highest bid was from a buyer who was 'simply determined' not to be outbid, the estate agent said, and missives were concluded at the weekend . Stunning: The house sits in 100 acres on an elevated situation over Badcall Bay (pictured), with breathtaking views over sea and mountain from every window . The nearest village is Scourie, two miles away, which has a shop, a petrol station, a GP’s surgery and a primary school. Ullapool is 41 miles down the twisting but wonderfully scenic A894. ‘Civilisation’, in the form of the nearest Marks & Spencer, is 100 miles away in Inverness. The house sits in 100 acres on an . elevated situation over Badcall Bay, with breathtaking views over sea . and mountain from every window. It also boasts its own slipway and . mooring. Impressive: A persistent buyer was 'simply determined' not to be outbid and raised his offer far beyond the asking price . Modest, but mighty: The house is not large - it has two reception rooms, a conservatory and two bedrooms which are en suite . The house was put on the market by Strutt & Parker, who recorded an ‘immediate surge of interest’. A closing date was set within two weeks. A spokesman for the firm confessed to being ‘staggered’ when they opened the seven bids and discovered all were above the £300,000 Home Report valuation. The highest was from a buyer who was ‘simply determined’ not to be outbid, said a spokesman, and missives were concluded at the weekend. In the Inverness office of Strutt & Parker, Kevin Maley said: ‘This is a place to stir the imagination. Its launch attracted a fantastic response. However, nothing would have prepared us for the successful offer. ‘While this sale is not symptomatic of the market, it does prove that there is momentum in the market and that certain properties can set it alight.’ Location: Eddrachilles House is situated in Sutherland, lying 20 miles south of Cape Wrath, the most north-westerly point on the British mainland .

West Ham have had a £2million bid rejected for Hamilton left-back Stephen Hendrie. The highly-rated 20-year-old is out of contract in the summer and has been attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs. Hendrie has made more than 100 appearances for the Scottish Premiership side and said earlier this month that he was ready to move to a big club. Stephen Hendrie (right) has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs as well as Celtic . The 20-year-old believes he is ready to make a move to a bigger club . ‘I don’t think 20 is too young or too old to move from Hamilton. I’m a Celtic fan and obviously the Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world,' Hendrie said. ‘That’s my dream - you want to reach as high a level as you can and if I can get to the Premier League that would be brilliant. Norwich, who recently appointed former Hamilton manager Alex Neil, are also interested in the 20-year-old full back. Hendrie has already made more than 100 appearances for the Hamilton first team . Meanwhile, the Hammers have approached Arsenal about making Carl Jenkinson's move a permanent one and have been quoted a whopping £12m for the right back. The England Under 21 international is on a season-long loan at Upton Park and has impressed manager Sam Allardyce with his performances and attitude but a permanent deal will be difficult to seal at that price. The 22-year-old has made 20 appearances already this season as opposed to 22 in the whole of the last campaign with Arsenal. Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson has been in impressive form since joining the Hammers on loan . Jenkinson, pictured with Stewart Downing, joined West Ham on a season-long loan deal . Allardyce believes two or three extra additions will shape his squad into regular top-six contenders and the purchase of Jenkinson would not only be good continuity but prove a good investment for the future. However, West Ham will struggle to meet Arsenal's demands. They will reassess their budget in the summer and hope that Jenkinson can also push for the move.

The number of civil servants earning more than £150,000 - which is a higher salary than the Prime Minister - has doubled since the Coalition took power and now stands at 316. Many officials have seen their salaries rise by more than the one per cent cap imposed on the public sector since 2012. The Tax Payers' Alliance has described the growing number of high earners as 'unacceptable'- insisting the 'bill must come down'. Public sector fatcats: 316 officials now earn more than £150,000 a year. The Prime Minister's annual salary currently stands at £142,500 . David Cameron has also criticised the hike in pay and banned salaries rising faster than inflation until 2018. The Prime Minister earns £142,500 a year but the Ministry of Defence currently has 21 staff on more than that, reports The Sun on Sunday. Meanwhile the Department of Health has 111 employees earning more than £150,000. And many others employed by the NHS and Department of Health also command giant salaries - some earning as much as double the Prime Minister's salary. Well paid: Andrew Haines, Chief Executive of the Civil Aviation Authority, earns £300,000 a year .

'This bill must come down.' While the number of high earning civil servants is on the rise George Osborne continues to impose a pay freeze on public sector workers lower down the pecking order. This week health workers warned the Government there would be a new wave of strikes in the new year over the pay freeze. Unison announced that its NHS members in England will walk out for 12 hours from 9am on January 29, while ambulance workers in the GMB union in England and Northern Ireland will strike on January 29 and 30.

The dispute has been raging all year after the Government decided not to accept a recommended one per cent pay rise for all NHS staff. Unison said its members will stage a second strike, for 24 hours, on February 24. NHS staff will also launch a work to rule between January 30 and February 24, including refusing to do unpaid overtime and making sure they take their breaks. A Department of Health spokesperson said: 'This is disappointing. NHS staff are our greatest asset and we want to make the current pay system fairer - which is why we have put forward proposals that would guarantee all staff would get at least a one pay rise this year and next, but these have been rejected by the unions. 'We have taken tough decisions to increase the NHS budget, but we can't afford a consolidated pay rise in addition to increments without risking 10,000 frontline jobs.'

(CNN) -- Sometimes it seems that Abu Dhabi, despite being one of the richest cities on earth, is uncertain of its identity: much of its new architecture is heavily influenced by European examples rather than a desert or Gulf vernacular. British designer Thomas Heatherwick aims to change that. "Some of the parks that have existed here have been based on the romantic notion of a European park. It's as if someone went to Paris and said, 'ooh, that's a nice park,' and rolled it up and dropped it on top of the desert," notes Thomas Heatherwick, the British designer of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics cauldron and the London Routemaster bus. Heatherwick is hoping to renew the UAE capital's pride of place. His weapon of choice? A cracked, underground park that embraces both the natural aesthetic and flora indigenous to the land. "There can be a mentality that can easily exist here that sees the desert as a surface to be covered up, instead of maybe celebrating its uniqueness," says Heatherwick, who recently unveiled plans for proposed 1.3-million-square-foot Al Fayah Park. On the outside, the public space will resemble a 65-feet high mound of parched earth. Heatherwick imagines it as a space where residents will congregate to picnic, or catch an outdoor concert. Underneath the dome (which is really a patchwork of canopies held up by several columns) will live lush gardens (including date palms and a community vegetable patch), streams and pools, cafes, and a public library. "The amazing thing about living in a city, in a place where people live in close proximity to each other, are those times when you want to see your fellow citizens, when you want to be amongst them and have your mind move forward," Heatherwick notes. "Unlike in London, where you can go for a walk down the street, the extreme climate in Abu Dhabi limits your options. That kind of socializing tends to happen mainly in shopping malls," explains Heatherwick. Al Fayah Park, he hopes, will be offer the city's residents a viable alternative. The domed park will also give the otherwise flat city an undulating quality. "It's almost two stories in the middle. It's almost like Abu Dhabi's first hill," he says. To reduce the nation's carbon footprint, Heatherwick has also opted to mix concrete from desert sand, eliminating the need to rely on imports. Furthermore, the shade provided by the rooftop will also reduce the amount of desalinated water needed to irrigate the plants underneath by restricting evaporation. "The partial shade will mean we can use half the quantity of water that the current site used, and create more lushness in the process," he says.

It's not all shaking hands and cutting ribbons for the Queen. The monarch is fond of a drink or two and, like her mother before her, she adores Dubonnet. The fortified wine with herbs and quinine was invented in 1846, the result of a competition by the French Government to find a way of encouraging French Legionnaires to drink bitter quinine by disguising it in alcohol. Meant as a punchy cure for malaria, it fast became the upper classes' aperitif of choice. The Queen Mother drank it every day - mixed three parts Dubonnet, seven parts gin, with a twist of lemon - and was even known to take a small bottle with her on journeys, 'just in case.' The Queen inherited her passion and enjoys a Dubonnet and gin every day before lunch, and reportedly one before bed too.

The Tesla Model S P85D is best known for it stomach-churning acceleration and zero-RMP torque. But just as impressive is a little-known feature that gives it the ability to receive over-the-air software updates any time a Tesla engineer discovers an improvement. Now one of these upgrades is set to make the P85D even faster, according to a tweet by Tesla's founder, Elon Musk. Scroll down for video . Earlier today, the group's founder, Elon Musk, revealed on Twitter that the P85D would be receiving an upgrade using a new algorithm that would make it even faster . 'Tesla P85D 0 to 60mph acceleration will improve by ~0.1 sec soon via over-the-air software update to inverter algorithm.' he wrote. Musk was referring to something known as the 'insane mode' which allows the car to accelerate from 0 to 60 in a little over three seconds. Earlier this week, a car website took passengers on a ride in the dual motor sedan and filmed their reactions when Insane mode hits. The video was filmed by Florida-based DragTimes. It shows a driver, known only as Brooks, taking people on a ride in the $120,000 (£80,000) car. For each test, Brooks brings the car to a standstill before pushing the accelerator to the ground. The video was filmed by DragTimes. It shows a driver, known as Brooks, taking people on a ride in the $120,000 (£80,000) car. When the Insane mode is activated, one woman is shown holding onto the ceiling and clutching her chest (pictured). A male passenger is then filmed swearing as the car pulls away at speed . At the launch event, Mr Musk said the car reaches 60mph in three seconds from a standstill. During recent tests of the Insane acceleration, also carried out by DragTimes, the car achieved the speed in 3.17 seconds . The D model, unveiled in October has two motors - one powering the front wheels and one powering the rear wheels. It has a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h), compared with the current 130 mph (209 km/h) on Tesla’s previous S model. It offers two Sport and Insane acceleration. In Insane Mode, the full 691 horsepower of the electric car's two motors is applied in one go. During recent tests of the Insane acceleration, the car achieved the speed in 3.17 seconds. The car accelerates with a jolt, pushing both the driver and passenger back in their seat. In one shot, a woman is shown holding onto the ceiling and clutching her chest in surprise. A male passenger is then filmed swearing as the car pulls away. During another shot, a child sitting in the back of the car loses control of her smartphone when the pedal is floored.

In Insane Mode, the full 691 horsepower of the electric car's two motors is applied in one go. At the launch event, Mr Musk said the car reaches 60mph in three seconds from standing still. During recent tests of the Insane acceleration, also carried out by DragTimes, the car achieved the speed in 3.17 seconds. As the site explained: ‘There is no complicated launch control to engage, no traction control to disable, no power braking, no RPMs to worry about. 'All you have to do is stomp on the accelerator and off you go, pulling over 1.2Gs off the line, enough to embarrass and give a hard time to just about any car that might be next to you.’ These speeds put the P85D on a par with the likes of Lamborghini’s Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante and the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3. In Sport mode, by comparison, the same speed was reached in 4.04 seconds during DragTimes' tests. The D model, unveiled by billionaire owner Elon Musk (pictured) in October has two motors - one powering the front wheels and one powering the rear wheels. It has a top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h)
In Insane mode, the car goes from 0 to 60mph in around three seconds . The latest remote upgrade is set to shave 0.1 seconds of this speed . The $120,000 (£80,000) Tesla Model S P85D was unveiled last October . Video filmed reactions of passengers as the car hits Insane acceleration . One woman holds onto the car’s ceiling and clutches her chest in surprise .

Sedbergh’s goal-kicking full-back Johnny McPhillips has fired the Cumbrian team to the top of the Daily Mail Schools Trophy. McPhillips landed a last-ditch, long-distance penalty to seal Sedbergh’s 37-34 win over arch-rivals Wellington on Tuesday at the Broadstreet club in Coventry. A memorable match between two of English rugby’s top school teams saw Sedbergh’ s stronger forwards keep Wellington’s speedy backs just at bay. Sedbergh stormed to a 37-34 win over arch-rivals Wellington on Tuesday at the Broadstreet club in Coventry . Wellington, who had led the table previously, needed the pace of wing Sam Aspland-Robinson who contributed three tries to keep them in sight of the strong Cumbrians whose lock Alex Moon scored two tries. Robinson’s third try levelled the scores at 34-34 only for McPhillips, who had already landed one long-distance kick, to smartly add a second for a three-point advantage. Even then, in the final moments, Wellington earned a chance to level through a penalty, but they choose to kick for the corner in an attempt to score a winning try off a line-out move. Sedbergh have overtaken previous leaders Wellington at the summit of the Daily Mails Schools Trophy . ‘The boys wanted to win,’ explained Wellington coach Kevin Brennan. ‘In hindsight maybe we should have gone for goal, but we wanted to win.’ Overall, Wellington accepted Sedbergh were the better team on the night, but the Trophy, organised on a merit-table basis by schoolsrugby.co.uk, is far from settled. Sedbergh, who had beaten Lancaster RGS, 38-0, last weekend, host unbeaten Kirkham GS, who are in fourth spot, on Saturday. Overall, Wellington accepted Sedbergh were the better team on the night after a thrilling encounter . The northern showdown is all part of a hectic ‘Super Saturday’ which features several other heavyweight clashes. Wellington, who edged out Hampton last Saturday, 22-20, finish their tough week at Epsom College who are in fifth place, having won six games so far. Third-placed Grammar School At Leeds, who were the early pacesetters, travel to Yorkshire rivals Woodhouse Grove, last season’s champions, while an all-London clash features fifth-placed Dulwich at home to Whitgift, the only team to beat Sedbergh so far this season. Monmouth, who are sixth, may yet be involved in the title chase if they maintain their unbeaten run at Bromsgrove, one of the top teams in the midlands.
McPhillips landed a last-ditch, long-distance penalty to seal the victory . Sedbergh overtake Wellington as the new league leaders . Wellington winger Sam Aspland-Robinson contributed three tries to keep his side in the contest . Lock Alex Moon replied with a brace of tries for Sedbergh .

Kris Commons spoke of his relief at securing his Celtic future on Thursday night – and warned that he is now in the perfect frame of mind to fight a battle on four fronts. The impasse between the 31-year-old and the club was ended when the midfielder signed a two-year deal to kill off former manager Neil Lennon’s hopes of luring him to Bolton Wanderers under freedom of contract. Commons, who Lennon signed from Derby in 2011, had looked to be on the way out of the club due to Celtic’s initial unwillingness to offer him a straight two-year deal. Kris Commons is relieved to have signed a new two-year contract with Celtic . The Mansfield-born star underscored his worth to the club when he scored a spectacular second goal in Sunday’s League Cup semi-final win over Rangers. And the club broke with recent policy for players over 30 by agreeing a deal which keeps him at Celtic Park until 2017. Commons said: ‘It’s a great feeling. It’s a huge burden off my shoulders. Now I can concentrate on the proper stuff which is playing football and winning trophies at this club. ‘I’m delighted to be staying here. Absolutely buzzing. It’s been a strange couple of months. Speculation is never good for the mind when you are trying to concentrate on playing at the top level. Glasgow and Celtic feel like home to myself and my family. ‘That’s credit to the people of Glasgow and how they’ve welcomed us right from the word go. It’s a very family orientated club and it’s a massive relief for myself and my family that our future is secure now. ‘I want to win more league titles here. It would be wonderful if we could add a few more cups to the cabinet but I think when you think of Celtic it’s all about European football and if we can get into the Champions League again next year and hopefully the year after that it would be a huge achievement for us. The 31-year-old was Celtic's top scorer last season with 31 goals in all competitions . ‘The Inter Milan game will be a big draw with a full house under the floodlights. That’s always a magical experience so hopefully we can turn up for that game and give them a sense of what we are all about. ‘That’s a good game to look forward to. But we’re involved in all four competitions so hopefully we’ll have a very successful year.’ The reigning PFA Scotland and SFWA player of the year, Commons scored 31 goals in Lennon’s final year in Glasgow. But, despite his popularity with the fans, a string of substitute appearances at the outset of Ronny Deila’s reign gave fuel to the theory that he wasn’t in the Norwegian’s long-term plans. Deila not only denied that, he predicted that Commons would remain at the club throughout the contract impasse. Manager Ronny Deila has spoken of his delight that Commons has committed his future to the club . Deila said: ‘I am really pleased that Kris has committed his future to the club. ‘He is someone who has already made a great contribution to Celtic and I am sure he will continue to be a very important player for us as we work hard to bring our fans the success they deserve.” ‘We have had a good week after reaching the League Cup final and following the fantastic signings of Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven, Kris’s contract extension is even more great news for the club and our supporters.’
Kris Commons speaks of relief at signing two-year deal with Celtic . The 31-year-old future at the club was uncertain over new contract . He warns he is now in perfect frame of mind to battle on four fronts .

By . Associated Press Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 03:24 EST, 1 May 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 10:55 EST, 1 May 2013 . Half a mile long and a foot thick, this concrete wall was built to separate black and white families living in the same Detroit neighbourhood in the 1940s. More than 70 years on, the six-foot high wall still stands in Birwood - a chilling reminder of segregated America, and a physical embodiment of racial attitudes the country has long since tried to forget. But despite its dark history, the community has managed to turn the concrete barrier into a symbol of inspiration and hope. Scroll down for video . Division line: The six foot high concrete wall, photographed in 1941, was built to separate homes built for middle-class white people from black people living in the area . Fallen barriers: A section of the half-mile long wall is seen today, covered with colourful murals depicting community life in the area . When Eva Nelson-McClendon first moved . to Detroit's Birwood Street in 1959, she didn't know much about the . wall across the street. Neighbours told her the wall was . built two decades earlier with a simple aim: to separate homes planned . for middle-class whites from blacks who had already built small houses . or owned land with plans to build. 'That . was the division line,' Ms Nelson-McClendon, now 79, says from the . kitchen of her tidy, one-storey home on the city's northwest side. 'Blacks lived on this side, whites was living on the other side. ... That was the way it was.' That's not the way it is anymore, but the . wall remains. Yet slowly, in subtle ways, it is evolving into something else in its community, something unexpected: an inspiration. 'The Wall': While the separation between the black and white communities no longer exists, the wall still stands in Detroit . Progress: Race remains a flashpoint in Detroit, a city beset by an inter-related stew of crime, corruption and high unemployment . It's still a half-mile long, interrupted only by two streets, much as a developer envisioned it in the early 1940s. It couldn't separate people on its . own - people and policies would see to that - but it was enough to . satisfy the Federal Housing Administration to approve and back loans. Aside from the mural that appears at . the wall's midpoint, much of it is easy to miss. In fact, it's . impossible to follow it completely as the wall disappears behind homes . and in spots is overgrown by vegetation. Where it's exposed, it's . whitewashed or a drab earth tone - and sometimes marred by gang . graffiti. On one corner it says, 'Only 8 Mile', referring to the divisive road just yards to the north. The wall never fell, but it didn't . really have to. The area became primarily African-American in the . decades to come, as most whites and even many blacks left. The pattern . was replicated across much of the 139-square-mile city that was built . for two million people but fell to about 700,000 in the 2010 Census. Moving on: People living in Birwood say the wall, which was built to divide, has become something unexpected; an inspiration . Murals: Today sections of the half-mile long wall are covered in colourful murals and slogans . The story of the wall has been . largely lost in larger narratives, such as the 1943 and 1967 race riots . and Eight Mile Road. The wall ends, almost invisible, just shy of the . thoroughfare that serves as the boundary between Detroit and its suburbs . and symbolically represents the divide between black and white. Race remains a flashpoint in a city . beset by an interrelated stew of crime, corruption and high . unemployment. And some accuse the state of further disenfranchising . Detroit's majority black population as Michigan's governor recently . declared a financial emergency in the city and the state took financial . control. Still, the wall is not forgotten. An . artist descended on it several years ago with an army of about 100 . fellow artists and community volunteers to create a vast, eye-popping . mural with images and messages of equality and justice on a section . overlooking a playground. And now, a faith-based nonprofit is giving . work to men who have struggled to keep a job or a home, having them make . sets of coasters that incorporate images from the wall and use . materials from abandoned homes that were razed in the city. Every sale of a $20 set of coasters helps to make something good out of something bad. 'It's recycling, giving jobs to . people who are having a tough time with unemployment and, at the same . time, creating a very nice piece of art that could and should lead to . some great discussions about race in the city of Detroit and in our . country,' says Faith Fowler, director of Cass Community Social Services . and its Green Industries program. Tightly clustered one-story homes . dominate the neighborhood around the wall, which still has well-kept . houses like Nelson-McClendon's but also suffers from a rising number of . vacant, gutted structures. More tear-downs in the making. And, perhaps, . more wood for the coasters. The homes on Birwood end at Alfonso Wells Memorial Playground, where the eye is immediately drawn to the massive mural. It's impossible to take it all in at . once, but certain images pop out in a slow pan: Rosa Parks boarding the . bus that would make her a household name in the civil rights struggle, . followed by a man carrying a sign that says, 'Fair Housing'. 'Only 8 mile': Graffiti references the Detroit road that was a physical and cultural dividing line between the wealthier, predominantly white northern suburbs and the poorer, predominantly black city . Landmark: Some call the structure 'Detroit's Wailing Wall', others 'Birwood Wall', while to many it is simply 'The Wall' Positive outcomes: A non-profit organisation in the city is putting people to work making coasters that incorporate images from the wall . Green Industries: Jason Garland cleans glass that will be used for one of the coasters at the faith-based organisation in Detroit . Industry: Montaze Frye stains boxes made out of wood reclaimed from razed houses to hold the coaster sets . Houses and more houses of all colours. A group of men singing a capella under a streetlight. Children blowing bubbles that pop up throughout the wall and contain various things, including an auto plant and words like 'peace' and 'flowers'. 'Bubbles are a form of creation. Children's imaginations create the future,' says Chazz Miller, the artist who designed the mural and teamed up with the Motor City Blight Busters in 2006 on the community project. 'Also, bubbles capture images and distort them and give you a new perspective.' Competition for housing and jobs between white and blacks was widespread in the city's boom years. Many blacks had moved into the area in the 1920s and 1930s because there was so much vacant land - a far cry from the overcrowded, unpleasant conditions in the two black enclaves near the city center. But a lot of white housing developments started spreading north as well and 'pushing up against this black enclave on the far edge of the city,' says Jeff Horner, a lecturer in Wayne State University's Department of Urban Studies and Planning. By 1940, the gap had closed. A developer of a proposed all-white subdivision managed to hammer out a compromise with federal housing officials: The loans and mortgage guarantees would come in exchange for constructing a wall. 'This is the closest thing Detroit has to the segregated fountains or to the white-only swimming pools of the Deep South,' Horner says. Nobody had to tell Nelson-McClendon, who moved to Michigan from Alabama in 1951. 'It was the same thing,' she says. 'Separation.' In an old warehouse a few miles to the southeast, several men are busy working at Green Industries. Among them is Jason Garland, who says he does 'mostly everything' related to making the coaster sets. Garland, 26, had been out of work for a year before coming to work for Green Industries in January. He says he had 'gotten lazy at one point,' but in his new job he often comes in early and on days off. The former automotive worker says he and his co-workers look out for each other, and he never wants to leave. Cass launched Green Industries in 2007, after some clients couldn't get jobs anymore because of the worsening economy and lack of reliable mass transportation. The nonprofit started with welcome mats made from illegally dumped tires, then added a paper-shredding operation employing people with developmental disabilities. When it comes to the wall, Eva Nelson-McClendon knows about perseverance. For her, it was and remains the only option. 'Did it make me angry to see that wall up there? It was something you grow accustomed to seeing, you know, although you don't like it. Getting angry over it is not going to solve anything,' McClendon says. 'What was important to me was bringing up my kids and getting them to get an education so they wouldn't have to be bothered with things like that in the future.' She thinks about progress, and acknowledges some. But she knows there are still neighborhoods, mostly in the suburbs now, where African-Americans can move but they aren't welcomed with open arms. But on this day, she takes solace that people didn't stay in place. Even if the wall did. 'It all depends on the people, the individual, the heart,' she says. 'You're not going to stop progress, don't care how hard you try.'

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning says he has no plans to quit the NFL even if he wins his second Super Bowl on Sunday. Manning, 37, has so far thrown a record breaking season of 55 touchdown passes and 5,447 yards, and will make history as the only quarterback to win Super Bowl titles with separate teams if the Denver Broncos beat the Seattle Seahawks. But the quarterback has denied speculation that he might quit while he's ahead, telling a press conference that he still enjoys the game and has no plans for a swift exit. Scroll down for video . Peyton Manning, 37, has said he has no plans to retire, even if the Denver Broncos win on Sunday . Speaking to Associated Press, he said: 'I think when you still enjoy the preparation and the work part of it, then you probably still ought to be doing that. 'I think as soon as I stop enjoying it, if I can't produce, if I can't help a team, that's when I'll stop. 'If that's next year, maybe it is, but I certainly want to continue to keep playing.' Manning previously won the Super Bowl in 2006 with the Indianapolis Colts, but following 14 season with the team he underwent surgery on a herniated disc in his spine, an injury which nearly cost him his career. If the Broncos are victorious, Manning will make history as the first quarterback to win the title with two separate teams. He won with the Indianapolis Colts in 2006 . The disc had been pressing on a nerve, and after the surgery he discovered his right tricep was very weak, and he was unable to grip properly with his right hand. The disc herniated again, and Manning went in for a second operation, before being dropped by the Colts and having to build his career up again. Now, with two vertebrae fused together, he is stronger than ever, and luckily for the Broncos Manning also hinted that he may be staying put. Manning has thrown a record-breaking season so far, with 5 touchdown passes and 5,447 yards . He added: 'In two years I feel like we've seen a lot, as far as on the field situations, weather, crowd noise, you name it, so I do feel comfortable.' Super Bowl XLVIII will take place on Sunday at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, in front of 82,500 fans. The last time the Seahawks played in a Super Bowl was in 2005 when they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

(CNN) -- Jose Mourinho has admitted he was left angered by the decision to sell Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona, although the Inter Milan coach reveals he is delighted to welcome Samuel Eto'o to the San Siro. Jose Mourinho believes Inter Milan have done good business in selling Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona. Inter are on the verge of completing a deal which will see them receive 45 million euros ($64m) plus Eto'o for Ibrahimovic after both players agreed terms with their prospective clubs. Mourinho knows it will be a blow to lose last year's leading goalscorer in Serie A but, speaking about the deal for the first time, admitted it is a fantastic bit of business. "I was a bit angry because no coach is happy to lose Ibrahimovic," the Portuguese told Sky Italia. "But no one is not happy to have Eto'o -- we have lost a top player but we have taken another one. If I talk as a coach and a man on the pitch, I say that I don't want to lose this player. If I talk as a manager, I say that Inter have done great business," added Mourinho. Mourinho feels Ibrahimovic will adapt to life at the Nou Camp in no time but insists he would not make a similar move. "He had this dream and wanted to go," added the Nerazzurri coach. "He told me he would miss me and I told him exactly the same thing. He's going to a club in which I worked for four years, Barcelona are an extraordinary club and he will be happy. "I didn't give him any advice but I spoke to him a few days before the final decision. I told him that if he wins the Champions League with Barcelona he won't be doing anything extraordinary, seeing as they have won it twice in three years. I like doing something extraordinary, not what's normal."

By . Lucy Crossley . PUBLISHED: . 12:27 EST, 18 November 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 12:36 EST, 18 November 2013 . A mother who went out curtain shopping instead of taking her injured baby to hospital has been warned by a judge that she may be given community service to help improver her parenting skills. Nicky Thompson and her boyfriend Beau Degeorge had noticed swelling on her six-month-old daughter's head but waited two days before taking her to get treatment. When doctors eventually saw the child they found severe ‘boggy’ swelling on the right side . of the baby’s head caused by a skull fracture and on the left side a . complex fracture had caused further swelling. Nicky Thompson had noticed swelling on her six-month-old daughter's head, but it was two days before her boyfriend took the child to Homerton Hospital in east London, where doctors found the baby had fractured her skull . A court was told that 30-year-old Degeorge could not be bothered to take . the baby to the hospital when the injuries were first discovered on . September 30, 2011 because he would have had to tale two buses to get there. He told police he lied to 21-year-old . Thompson about taking the girl to a walk-in centre to ‘avoid an . argument’, Snaresbrook Crown Court had heard. Thompson, of Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, then went curtain shopping with her mother the following day while the baby’s condition deteriorated. The pair were both found guilty of a single charge of cruelty to a person under the age of 16 by a jury of five men and six women, and were ordered to return to court for sentencing in January. It was not until October 2, when the baby’s eyes were vacant and she had not been her usual playful seld, that Degeorge finally took her to Homerton Hospital in east London to be treated. ‘They neglected their child’, said prosecutor Emma Smith. ‘It would appear that despite seeing the swelling, they thought the baby did not need medical attention. ‘Thompson says that on seeing the swelling she thought the baby did need medical attention but rather than taking her herself, she told Degeorge to go - but he didn’t. ‘The child wasn’t getting any better, but rather than taking her to the doctor, Thompson chose to go shopping for curtains with her mother.’ When the baby was finally taken to hospital and seen at 5.50pm on Sunday, October 2, Degeorge and Thompson spun a web of lies, blaming the delay on each another. 'Degeorge told the doctor that they noticed the swelling above the right ear on the Friday’, said Ms Smith. ‘The doctor noted the swelling and the baby cried when she touched her on the head - another doctor found a 10cm boggy swelling on the child’s head. ‘Degeorge told the doctor she had not been her normal self and was not smiling or playful - he said he did not know any reason why the swelling might have occurred. ‘When asked about the mother, he said that she felt he was making a big deal out of nothing.’ The court was told that Degeorge, of Hackney, East London, received a string of calls from Thompson while at the hospital, but he told the doctor she had locked herself out of the house and needed the keys. Thompson eventually arrived at the hospital and told doctors she had taken the baby to Royal London Hospital on Friday, claiming she was told the tot had probably hit her head on something. ‘On Monday, October 3, the baby was seen by a paediatrician and when asked, Thompson said she had noticed the swelling on the Thursday and that the father had taken the child to a walk-in centre the next day,’ Ms Smith continued. ‘There had been no visit to a walk-in centre - the father had lied and told the mother he had in order to avoid an argument. Judge Judith Hughes QC, sitting at Snaresbrook Crown Court, pictured, said she needed to consider if there was a form of community service that Thompson could carry out to help with her parenting skills . ‘It really comes down to this - why didn’t both parents take her to the hospital on that Friday when they say they first noticed the swelling? ‘Fortunately there was no obvious brain damage sustained by this child.’ The pair were arrested a week later and interviewed by police but both gave differing accounts on what had happened that weekend. Degeorge told police Thompson had told him to call NHS Direct, but after she refused to make the call, he decided not to call out of principle. He said he didn’t take the baby to hospital on that Friday because he would have to get two buses, and told Thompson he had when in fact he had gone to his mother’s house. Thompson told police Degeorge had said the baby would be OK and that he would then take her to the hospital. She said she had wanted to take her to hospital but Degeorge had left too quickly and told her he was taking the baby to the hospital when he in fact hadn’t. She had no explanation as to why she went shopping. The girl suffered no lasting damage from the incident. Judge Judith Hughes QC said: ‘I think in Ms Thompson’s case a report is essential - I need to consider whether there is some form of community punishment that might assist her with such things as parenting skills. ‘For parity, I will have a report on Mr Degeorge as well but I make it clear that currently, all options are open at this stage for both defendants.’ Degeorge was remanded in custody while Thompson was released on bail ahead of sentence on January 6 next year.

By . Ruth Sunderland, Associate City Editor . PUBLISHED: . 22:41 EST, 8 December 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 22:52 EST, 8 December 2013 . Confidence is rising among UK firms and job vacancies are growing at their fastest rate since 1998, reports published today claim. They give another boost to Chancellor George Osborne with more evidence that the recovery is taking hold. One survey on the jobs market . found that the demand from companies for new staff is increasing faster . than at any time in the past 15 years. Recovery: Although millions are still out of work, reports published today suggest demand for workers is rising . The growth in salaries for those taken on in permanent positions is at a six-year high, because fewer good candidates are on the market. Demand for new staff was much stronger in the wealth-creating private sector than in the public sector, according to a survey by accountancy firm KPMG and the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC). Recruitment & Employment Confederation chief executive Kevin Green, pictured, said 'all regions' in Britain are in growth . The greatest demand for new permanent . staff was in the Midlands, indicating the economic revival is not . confined to London and the South East. Engineering showed the strongest growth among the professions, suggesting a pick-up in Britain’s manufacturing industry. Kevin Green, chief executive of REC, said . the report showed ‘all sectors, all regions and both the private and . public sector are in growth, which is fantastic news for British . businesses, the UK economy and people looking for work in 2014’. A separate report by accountants BDO found that firms’ confidence levels rose to a three and a half year high in November. Its ‘Optmism Index’ rose to 103.1 last . month, from 101.7 in October and just 91.4 in November 2012. A figure . above 100 shows that firms think growth will be better than the long run . average, while a reading of less than 100 indicates they are . pessimistic and believe it will be below the trend. ‘This is a strong and broad-based recovery’, said Peter Hemington, a partner at BDO. ‘I think we can finally say that the key economic battleground has . shifted from austerity to the new debate about how the government can . help UK businesses achieve sustained growth in the context of a dynamic, . internationally competitive economy.’ Relief: The reports will be welcome news to the Chancellor George Osborne, pictured on Friday visiting a JCB factory in Rocester, Staffordshire. His Autumn Statement was adamant that the recovery is well under way . The independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) said last week that more than one million jobs will be created in the next five years, with the number in work reaching a record 31.2 million in 2018. Unemployment is set to fall from the current rate of 7.6 per cent to 7 per cent in 2015 and 5.6 per cent in 2018. The OBR more than doubled its growth forecast for 2013 from 0.6 per cent to 1.4 per cent and for 2014 from 1.8 per cent to 2.4 per cent. That allowed the Chancellor to boast that Britain is now growing faster than any major developed economy, with job creation in the private sector more than making up for losses in the taxpayer-funded public sector. Research by Lloyds Bank also published today found business activity is strong across all regions of England.

By . Louise Eccles and Adam Shergold . PUBLISHED: . 04:36 EST, 30 July 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 09:06 EST, 30 July 2012 . The Olympic cauldron was extinguished last night as the flame was relocated to another part of the stadium. The flame's cauldron, a symbol of the Olympic movement, is supposed to burn for the entirety of the Games but organisers have confirmed it was put out temporarily so the 28ft high structure could be moved to the edge of the stadium. This revelation will add to controversy about the location of the flame, which is only visible to those who have tickets to events in the main stadium. The Olympic cauldron after the flame had been extinguished last night. It was put out about 9pm and re-lit in its new position at 7.50am this morning . LOCOG chairman Sebastian Coe said last night that the cauldron was 'not created to be a tourist attraction' and would not go on public view. The steel and copper Thomas Heatherwick-designed cauldron was lit by seven young athletes at the opening ceremony on Friday, at the culmination of a 70-day torch relay which covered 8,000 miles and all corners of Britain. It was extinguished at 9pm last night and re-lit at 7.50am this morning, after the flame was kept burning in a miners' lamp overnight. It will take 80 hours to ready the stadium for athletics events. It now stands at the southern end of the stadium, ahead of the finish line for the 100m and in the same place where a giant bell marked the start of the Opening Ceremony. Jackie Brock-Doyle, director of communications for the organising committee, said: 'The cauldron has been put out while we move it to another part of the stadium.' She added that the flame would be kept burning in a lantern, also used during parts of the torch relay, and the cauldron relit on Monday morning. Giant cranes move in to move the cauldron from the centre of the Olympic stadium, where it was lit during Friday night's Opening Ceremony . The decision to have the cauldron inside the stadium for the duration of the Games is controversial, with organisers saying it is not designed to be a 'tourist attraction' It was nearly midnight when the cranes moved into position to move to cauldron . Austin Playfoot, 82, re-lit the cauldron on Monday with the aid of a cherry picker . The honour went to 82-year-old Austin Playfoot from Elstead in Surrey, who was a torchbearer at the 1948 London Olympic Games. Back then, he ran 1.8 miles with the flame through Guildford, but here he was aided by a cherry picker. Mr Playfoot described his role as an 'honour', adding: 'When I ran with the Olympic Flame in Guildford I never thought I would get this close to the Cauldron, it brought me to tears when it lit up. 'It will be an incredible inspiration to the competing athletes here at the heart of the Olympic Park in the Stadium.' It is not the first time the cauldron has been concealed from public view. It was not open to the public in 1948, the last time the Games were staged in London. The new position of the cauldron will ensure track and field athletics events can take place in the stadium . The Olympic cauldron is lit during Friday night's Opening Ceremony. The 28ft high cauldron is made up of 204 engraved leaves to represent each of nations participating at the Games . And a fierce row erupted at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics when organisers fenced off the cauldron and positioned security guards in front of it, preventing large numbers of visitors a look at it. After a backlash from Canadians, officials were forced to remove some of the protection and allow more visitor-friendly access. The cauldron is made up of 204 steel pipes and individually designed copper petals inscribed with each country's name. Its designer Mr Heatherwick said: 'There is the precedent of the 1948 Games of the cauldron set within the stadium, to one side with the spectators, and with the technology we now have that didn’t exist in 1948 it can be shared with everyone in the Olympic Park with screens.'We felt that sharing it with the screens reinforced the intimacy within it. If it had been a huge beacon lifted up in the air it would have had to be bigger, and would have somehow not met the brief that we discussed with Danny Boyle of making something that was rooted in where the people are.'The cauldron is to be dismantled after the Games and each of the copper petals will be returned to the competing 204 National Olympic Committees to keep. In the last London Olympics in 1948, the flame was kept burning inside Wembley Stadium for the whole of the Games . The flame burned high above the stadium at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney . A bird's eye view of the Olympic Park taken for Google Earth. The aerial imagery of the Park in Stratford, East London was updated by Google just before the Opening Ceremony . Day three of the Olympics started in perfect fashion for Great Britain as Katherine Grainger (front) and Anna Watkins won their heat of the double sculls in an Olympic Record time. The double world champions set a time of six minutes 44.33 seconds, smashing the previous record by five seconds. Grainger and Watkins, who are the clear favourites for a gold medal, are now unbeaten in 22 races. Grainger has three consecutive Olympic silver medals, but on this form, she is likely to be on top of the podium at Eton Dorney after the final on Friday . The British men's eight qualified for their final after holding off the challenge of Canada, Holland and Australia in this morning's repechage. The crew, who have only been training together for six weeks after a member withdrew through injury, quickly opened up a commanding lead over reigning Olympic champions Canada. Their challengers closed the gap but Britain maintained a high stroke rate to earn their spot in Wednesday's final . Zoe Smith set a new British record for the weightlifting clean and jerk today, though her effort of 121kg is unlikely to win her a medal. The 18-year-old from Greenwich fell narrowly short of her personal best in the snatch portion of the event, registering 90kg. But, roared on by an electric home crowd, she redemmed herself in the clean and jerk for an overall total of 211kg. However, the elite lifters in the A group are likely to eclipse her current standing of second.

By . Ted Thornhill for MailOnline . and Reuters . A crowd of protesters stormed Pakistan's state television channel, PTV, on Monday and took the channel off air, with a news anchor claiming that some working journalists were beaten up. Pakistani soldiers and paramilitary forces entered the headquarters in Islamabad and restored order. Protesters led by opposition leaders Imran Khan, a hero cricket player turned politician, and Tahir ul-Qadri, a firebrand cleric, have been on the streets for weeks trying to bring down the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Scroll down for video . Pakistani supporters of Canadian cleric Tahir ul Qadri and cricket-turned politician Imran Khan shout anti-government slogans after storming the headquarters of the state-owned Pakistani Television (PTV) building . Imran Khan addressed his supporters in Islamabad during an anti-government march on the same day as hundreds of his backers seized the state broadcaster's television offices and allegedly beat its journalists . Protests in Islamabad turned increasing towards violence today as police clashed with demonstrators. As street battles erupted one officer who was separated from the main force was attacked with sticks . Pakistani protesters beat the portrait of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif with shoes at the main entry gate of the state television building in Islamabad . Sharif, who easily won an election in May last year, has refused to step down. Qadri and Khan allege widespread fraud in the country's May 2013 election, in which Sharif's party won by a landslide. The demonstrations descended into deadly chaos on Saturday, with at least three people killed in clashes with police. Clashes broke out early on Monday and the state PTV channel and its English-language PTV World service were taken off the air after protesters stormed its headquarters in Islamabad. 'They have stormed the PTV office,' a news anchor said just before the screen went blank. 'PTV staff performing their journalistic duties are being beaten up.' A PTV source told Reuters the protesters had occupied the main control room and smashed some equipment. Later, television pictures showed uniformed members of a paramilitary force and soldiers walking calmly into the building. A Reuters witness said the soldiers escorted protesters out and placed the building under their protection. There were no signs of violence and the protesters were seen leaving the building peacefully. The station later came back on the air. Pakistani soldiers stand guard outside the headquarters of PTV . Pakistani police run from opposition protesters during clashes near the prime minister's residence in Islamabad on Monday . Hundreds of rounds of tear gas have been used by police against protesters in Islamabad who are responding to his call to remove the current government. His supporters gathered cannisters today to show the scale of the non-lethal weapon's use. In the nuclear-armed nation where power has often changed hands through military coups rather than elections, the army is bound to play a key role in how the conflict unfolds but it has not directly intervened, apart from talking to the protagonists and calling on them to show restraint. If the protests get out of control and there is major violence, the army could step in decisively, imposing a curfew or even martial law. Alternatively it could side with the protesters and put pressure on Sharif to resign, in which case an interim government would have be put in place and early parliamentary elections held to elect a new government. However, few observers believe at this stage that the army is bent on seizing power again. A weakened Sharif would allow the army to remain firmly in charge of key issues such as relations with India and Afghanistan while allowing the civilian government to deal with day-to-day economic issues in which it has little interest. On Monday, despite heavy rain, crowds of protesters fought running battles with retreating police after breaking the main gate into the Pakistan Secretariat area which houses government ministries as well as Sharif's official residence. The protesters could be seen beating motorcycles and cars with their sticks as they advanced closer to their target. They had tried to storm Sharif's house on Saturday night but were beaten back by police. The head of Islamabad police and another senior police officer were lightly wounded in the clashes, media reported. Supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf political party block the road with burning tires in Lahore, Pakistan, on August 31 . Sharif, who was prime minister twice in the 1990s, swept to office last year in Pakistan's first democratic transition of power. He is due to address both houses of parliament on Tuesday in an apparent effort to show that he is firmly in control. But Sharif looks increasingly cornered in the conflict, and even if he survives the crisis he is likely to remain significantly weakened for the rest of his tenure. The protesters out on Monday appeared to be from Qadri's camp. Khan, who has refused to hold negotiations, says he would not call off the protests until Sharif resigns, calling on his people to avoid any form of violence. 'I call upon my workers to remain peaceful,' Khan said from atop a shipping container at the main rally site. 'Do not carry out any acts of violence. God has given us victory.' Pakistani army soliders stop protestors after clashes with anti-government demonstrators and police near the prime minister's residence in Islamabad . In a warning to police, the military said any further use of force to resolve an escalating political crisis would only worsen the situation. But it has also said the crisis had to be solved through talks, in a clear message to Khan and Qadri. As protesters charged towards police lines in the so-called Red zone - home to the prime minister's house, parliament and many foreign embassies - security forces could be seen retreating, with police huddled in groups and avoiding direct confrontation. Reflecting concern about security in the capital, all schools were closed on Monday, the start of a new academic year.

For the first time, ethnic minorities make up a majority of babies in the United States . Ethnic minorities now make up the majority of babies in the United States, official figures revealed today. It is the first time that this has been the case and the change reflects a growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and predominantly minority youths that could reshape government policies. Preliminary census estimates also show the share of African-American households headed by women - made up of mostly single mothers - now exceeds African-American households with married couples, a sign of declining U.S. marriages overall but also continuing challenges for black youths without involved fathers. The findings, based on the latest government data, offer a preview of final 2010 census results being released this summer that provide detailed breakdowns by age, race and householder relationships such as same-sex couples. Demographers say the numbers provide the clearest confirmation yet of a changing social order, one in which racial and ethnic minorities will become the U.S. majority by the middle of the century. Currently, non-Hispanic whites make up just under half of all three-year-olds, which is the youngest age group shown in the Census Bureau's October 2009 annual survey, its most recent. In 1990, more than 60 per cent of children in that age group were white. Scroll down for video . Whites still make up the vast majority of older Americans - 80 per cent of the over 65s . The preliminary figures are based on . an analysis of the Current Population Survey as well as the 2009 . American Community Survey, which sampled three million U.S. households . to determine that whites made up 51 per cent of babies younger than two. Youngest states by median age . Alaska 33.8District of Colombia 33.8Idaho 34.6California 35.2Georgia 35.3Arizona 35.9 . Oldest states by median age . Maine 42.7West Virginia 41.3New Hampshire 41.1Florida 40.7Connecticut 40Montana 39.8 . After taking into account a larger-than-expected jump in the minority . child population in the 2010 census, the share of white babies falls . below 50 per cent. By . contrast, whites make up the vast majority of older Americans - 80 per . cent of the over 65s and roughly 73 per cent of people aged 45-64. Kenneth . Johnson, a sociology professor and senior demographer at the University . of New Hampshire, noted that much of the race change is being driven by . increases in younger Hispanic women having more children than white . women, who have lower birth rates and as a group are moving beyond their . prime childbearing years. The numbers come amid public debate over . hotly contested federal and state issues, from immigration and gay . marriage to the rising cost of government benefits, that are resonating . in different ways by region and demographics. Alabama became the latest state this month to pass a wide-ranging anti-immigration law, which in part requires schools to report students' immigration status to state authorities. Age divide: The chart shows how the median age differs vastly in America, from Maine, where it's 42.7, to Alaska, where it is just 33.8. 12 of the 14 states with a median age of less than 36 are in the South and West . That follows tough immigration measures . passed in similarly Republican-leaning states such as Georgia, Arizona . and South Carolina. But . governors in Massachusetts, New York and Illinois, which long have been . home to numerous immigrants, have opted out of the federal Secure . Communities programme that aims to deport dangerous criminals, saying it . has made illegal immigrants afraid of reporting crimes to police. California may soon opt out as well. While the number of black single mothers has been gradually declining, overall marriages among blacks are decreasing faster. That reflects a broader U.S. trend of declining marriage rates as well as increases in non-family households made up of people living alone, or with unmarried partners or other non-relatives. Female-headed households make up a 19 per cent share among Hispanics and 9 per cent each for whites and Asians. Meanwhile, figures released last month revealed that the migration of young Hispanic families has fuelled the age divide between regions of America. Young Hispanic migrant families are increasingly moving into western and southern states, while older baby boomers stay put further north. The population in the South and West is now dramatically younger than in the Northeast, and there is a gap of 3.9 years between the youngest and oldest regions of the country, according to figures released by the Census Bureau. In all, 12 of the 14 states with median ages of 36 or younger are located in the South and West, including California, Colorado and Georgia, whereas 13 of the 20 states with a median age of 38 or higher are in the Midwest and Northeast, including New Jersey, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Talented arrivals: College-educated immigrants now outnumber those entering the country with just a high school degree - and the variation is much bigger in urban areas, a report by the Brookings Institution says . Younger people are increasingly leaving . these areas - particularly industrial cities in the Midwest like Detroit . which have been badly affected by the recession - to find work in the . Sun Belt. But ageing is being slowed in the . South and West, as young Hispanic migrants settle and have families, . while others continue to move in. Another intriguing recent study has revealed that college-educated immigrants now outnumber those entering the country with just a high school degree - and the variation is much bigger in urban areas. South rises: In many South states, the Hispanic population has doubled on ten years ago, with Hispanics outstripping whites for the first time in New Mexico - 46 to 40 per cent . They outnumber those educated at high school by 25 per cent in 44 major American cities - and 30 per cent of working-age immigrants now have a college degree, compared to 19 per cent in 1980. An increase in demand from U.S. employers has seen more college-educated immigrants arriving in the U.S. over the past decade than immigrants without high school education, reported Yahoo News. Only 28 per cent of U.S. immigrants are without a high school diploma and half of skilled immigrants are overqualified for their jobs, a report by the Brookings Institution in Washington D.C. said.

Town halls have spent tens of millions of pounds rehiring staff they had made redundant, it was reported last night. Much of the cash has gone on agency social workers but an increasing amount is paid to interim managers and consultants, who can earn £1,000 a day. Some have returned after receiving big redundancy packages. Birmingham City Council headquarters: The local authority topped the list of councils who spent the most on agency and consultancy workers since 2010-2011, with £155million spent since that financial year . An investigation by The Times revealed that dozens of authorities have spent more than £50million on agency and consultancy workers since 2010-11, with five spending more than £100million. The total figure spent on such workers over that period is £5billion. The peak was in 2013-14 when more than £1.2 billion was spent. Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of Taxpayers Alliance, said: ‘This [£5billion] is a scandalous figure and one that needs to be justified. 'Scandalous': Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of Taxpayers Alliance, said the councils must stop the revolving door of rehiring redundant workers . ‘There have been all sorts of promises about bringing the cost of administering down. Taxpayers will be particularly concerned at the number of former employees re-employed on more expensive contracts. The lucrative revolving door needs to rapidly come to a halt.’ A freedom of information requested by The Times revealed that the biggest councils, the counties and London boroughs were among the worst offenders. Birmingham City Council topped the list, spending £155 million since 2010-11, followed by Essex County Council on £133.5million and Kent County Council on £127million. Seventeen London boroughs also spent between £50million and £125million on agency and consultancy staff. Louise Tibbert, president of the Public Sector People Management Association and head of HR at Hertfordshire county council, said that social workers often went back to councils where they had worked before, but this was also the case for higher-paid staff. She said: ‘Many go to the private sector for better pay in legal, finance and HR or general management roles. There is a big chance that local government will pay the same for them to come back as consultants.’ Over the past five years councils have had their budgets slashed by more than £20billion and lost more than 400,000 jobs. Some councils have been forced to close or reduce a range of services including road maintenance, street cleaning and home care for elderly after having their central funding slashed by almost 40 per cent since 2010. Tony Travers, local government expert at the London School of Economics, said that too many jobs were cut too quickly in search for early big savings and councils had found that they could not provide their services without bringing the staff back.
Freedom of Information requests revealed how much was spent . Five councils have spent more than £100m, dozens more than £50m . Birmingham City Council topped the list of the biggest spenders .

Carl Froch has won what may be the most important of all the fights before Saturday night’s Battle of Britain with George Groves at Wembley. The key battleground, to put it in political parlance, has been the timing of the weigh-in. This issue has proved even more contentious than the disputes over who should referee Froch-Groves II and which judges should be scoring at ringside. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Froch entertain the Nottingham crowd during media workout . Early boost: Carl Froch, pictured at last year's weigh-in, will be glad to get the next weight-in on Friday . Face off: George Groves (left) is the heavier man, and wanted the weigh-in sooner rather than later . For Groves, naturally the bigger and heavier man, the earlier the better when it comes to stepping on the scales the day before the fight. For Froch, the less time his world title challenger has to recover from draining down to the 12 stone super-middleweight limit and then gainingextra poundage, so much the better. London’s Saint George is understood to have argued for the weigh-in to take place no later than 1 pm on Friday. Froch is pleased it is being scheduled three hours later for Sky Sports television. This has been the most private of the many pre-fight disputes. So much so that it was not even raised during their verbal show-down on Sky’s Gloves Are Off television special which aired at the weekend. Not even when the confrontation ended with a handshake which turned into momentary arm-wrestling. Quite what that little skirmish proved only the combatants themselves might tell us. Pre-match dispute: The argument has been private, so much so that it wasn't raised on Sky Sports . Confrontation: The pair come together during the photocall for the rematch at Wembley . Froch said only: ‘We can all pull about a bit if you want. Pull and push a little.’ Groves, for the first time, has brought in a physical conditioning coach-cum-dietician following their first fight last November. That ended in him being stopped somewhat prematurely after decking Froch in the first round and being ahead on the score-cards going into the ninth. London’s Saint George reports himself physically stronge and his upper-body looks more muscular. But the Nottingham Cobra suspects that as a result he may find it more taxing to make the weight. Froch says: ‘Genetically, George is not a super-middleweight. He is naturally a light-heavy. He always has to take off about eight pounds just before the weigh-in. That’s not good and it’s one reason why he runs out of stamina in the later rounds.’ If he is right, those three hours could be a factor. It is beyond doubt that Groves will be the significantly heavier of the two by the time they enter the ring at ten minutes to ten on Saturday night. But the longer his wait to hit the required 168 lb target and the less time to rebalance his body weight, the more that advantage is diminished. Froch says: ‘I never have a problem with the weight. I walk around between fights only a few pounds over the limit.’ There is no risk of a dehydration problem orany other extra health risks in the weigh-in taking place at 4 pm rather than 1 pm. It is only in recent years that this process has been brought forward from the morning of fights to the preceding day. The IBF, the lead sanctioning organisation in this war for their world title and the WBA ‘regular’ belt, stipulate only that the weigh-in must happen at least 24 hours before the first bell. In the rancorous build up so far, Groves successfully appealed to the IBF for a mandatory re-match amid the controversy which followed their first fight. His demand for non-British officials was also granted, even though Froch condemned that as an insult to the British Boxing Board of Control. Fresh: Froch will be looking to keep his super-middleweight titles and insists he has no problem with the weight . Froch’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, then objected to the appointment of US referee Jack Reiss, saying: ‘He tends to work in the fighters’ faces and jump between them. We have 80,000 ticket buyers coming to Wembley and millions watching no television. They deserve a referee who will let them fight, let it flow.’ Reiss has been replaced by another American, Charlie Fitch. Then Groves, now his own manager, lodged a complaint against one of three foreign judges,  Leszek Jankowiak, on the grounds that he is Polish and that Froch’s has parental roots in that country, as well relatives still living there. Groves says; ‘In a fight of this magnitude it is wiser to pay attention to every detail.’ Following that Friday afternoon weight-in, such matters as approval of the gloves to be won and testing of the tension of the ring ropes remain to be agreed. Come Saturday night, renowned American ring announcer Michael Buffer might consider this slight amendment to the famous phrase with which he galvanises boxing crowds the world over: . ‘Let’s get ready to grumble.’ Watch Froch-Groves 11 live on Sky Sports Box Office on Saturday night, at £16.95. Sore: Groves complained about the judges last time out, when Froch was victorious in Manchester .

Jerusalem (CNN) -- Israeli government ministers Wednesday overwhelmingly approved a temporary freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank in an effort to restart peace talks with the Palestinians. The Security Cabinet voted 11-2 in favor of the measure which calls for a 10-month freeze on new building permits and the construction of new residential buildings in the West Bank. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it "a very big step toward peace" and said he hoped the Palestinians would "take full advantage" of the opportunity to restart talks during the 10-month window. "I hope the Palestinians and the Arab world will work with us to forge a new beginning... for our children and for theirs," he said. In Washington, the top U.S. envoy for the region, George Mitchell, said he hoped to use the time to begin negotiations on permanent status issues, which include security for Israelis and Palestinians, borders, refugees and the status of Jerusalem. "My personal and fervent wish is that we will, during this process at some point, have a resolution of borders so there will no longer be any question about settlement construction," Mitchell told reporters. "It falls short of a full settlement freeze, but it is more than any Israeli government has done before, and can help move toward agreement between the parties," Mitchell told a briefing at the State Department. He said he plans to return soon to the region. Mitchell shrugged off a suggestion he might be discouraged after more than 10 months of failing to relaunch peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians. "You can't take as final the first 'no,' the second 'no' or even the hundredth 'no,' " said Mitchell, who helped negotiate a peace agreement in Northern Ireland and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. "You can't get discouraged by setbacks and you can't be deterred by criticism. You have to be patient, persevering and determined." Mitchell also released a statement from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which said the announcement helps move the issue forward. "We believe that through good-faith negotiations the parties can mutually agree on an outcome which ends the conflict and reconciles the Palestinian goal of an independent and viable state based on the 1967 lines, with agreed swaps, and the Israeli goal of a Jewish state with secure and recognized borders that reflect subsequent developments and meet Israeli security requirements," the Clinton statement said. "Let me say to all the people of the region and world: our commitment to achieving a solution with two states living side by side in peace and security is unwavering," the Clinton statement added. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, a representative of the Middle East Diplomatic Quartet made up of the European Union, the United States, the Russian Federation and the United Nations, called the announcement "an important step towards creating the possibility for serious and credible negotiations for a two-state solution. "The key, as I have said consistently, is to combine a credible political negotiation with real change on the ground, in institution-building, security performance and economic development," Blair said. But Danny Danon, a member of the Knesset from Netanyahu's Likud Party and chairman of the Settlers Council, opposed the announcement. "If the prime minister will implement the ideology of the left, he will not get the support of his own party," he said. "All the things he wrote in his books, said in his speeches, he so eloquently preached for, he does exactly the opposite," said Danon, calling the move a "disappointment." Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said the proposed temporary freeze would be inadequate: "The exclusion of Jerusalem is a very serious problem for us," he told reporters on Wednesday. Palestinian officials, including Fayyad, have called on Israel to freeze construction in Jerusalem as well. The Palestinians want Jerusalem to be the capital of a Palestinian state. In recent weeks, Netanyahu and other members of his cabinet have made clear that a construction freeze would not be implemented in predominantly Arab East Jerusalem. Israel views Jerusalem as a separate issue to be hammered out in final status talks with the Palestinians. The measure would not affect buildings already under construction for the existing Jewish residents in the West Bank, Netanyahu said. Construction of public building would also continue, government officials have said. The Israeli government is under tremendous pressure -- particularly from its ally, the United States -- to halt settlement construction in the Palestinian territory of the West Bank. Continued construction has been a key stumbling block in restarting Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. The Israeli Security Cabinet is a subset of the larger Israeli Cabinet. It has historically been used by prime ministers to approve quick action on defense and diplomatic matters. CNN's Michael Zippori and Kevin Flower contributed to this report.

By . Suzannah Hills . PUBLISHED: . 13:38 EST, 27 February 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 13:39 EST, 27 February 2013 . Male nurse Neil Riley, 54, was found dead at his home in Great Harwood, Blackburn . A dedicated male nurse at one Britain's most prestigious Catholic boarding schools hanged himself after he was accused of being a closet peeping tom, an inquest heard today. Neil Riley, 54, had been arrested on suspicion of voyeurism after claims he set up hidden cameras in a bedroom to spy on female colleagues. Staff at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, where boarding school fees cost up to £28,443 per year, called police after it was believed four women had been secretly filmed. Mr Riley - described as 'one of the good guys' by friends - was later questioned and released on bail. But five days later his naked body was found hanging from a wardrobe next to his police bail papers at his home in Great Harwood, Blackburn. An inquest was told he had taken his own life for fear of losing his job at the school where he had worked for the past eight years. Police said there was 'a high probability' he would have been charged with voyeurism offences. Father of two Mr Riley, who raised money for BBCs Children in Need appeal, joined Stonyhurst as a nurse in 2005 after working at various hospitals. He was involved in the college's combined cadet force, where he was promoted to captain. He split from his teacher wife, Yvonne, in March last year but was arrested the following November after concerns were raised by college staff. Officers seized a computer from Mr Riley's home to check for any files which may contain film footage of the college and confiscated cameras which are feared to have been used to film the unwitting women getting undressed in a bedroom. Mrs Riley told the hearing in Blackburn: 'He didn't talk about the police arrest and I didn't know about it. I think if he thought he was going to lose his job that would affect him and his work was very, very important to him. It would have affected him.' Allegations: Mr Riley's death came just five days after he was arrested over claims he set up a hidden camera in a bedroom to spy on female colleagues at the £28,000-a-year Stonyhurst College . Investigation: A police investigation was launched at Stonyhurst College after staff reported concerns about Mr Riley's behaviour . She said that despite their split in March last year they had maintained a friendship and was in regular contact with him, even helping him to move house. She told the inquest: 'He was a very dedicated nurse who cared for a lot of people throughout his life. He was very good at his job and people respected him for the kindness and caring he showed towards them. 'Neil could be quite closed at times and tended to ignore things he did not want to see, he was quite closed. I didn't get the impression he was depressed or down. Mr Riley joined Stonyhurst as a nurse and was involved in the college's combined cadet force . 'The signs certainly were that when he moved into the house he invited friends for meals and got in touch with others for Christmas and my son had been to visit.' She said that he had been a keen bird watcher who had had an allotment growing his own vegetables also liked to make chillies and chutneys. 'He was a good artist, he had a lot of friends and was a happy man. He had trials and tribulations like anyone else would. 'I spoke to him three weeks before he died because my daughter had an appointment at the hospital and he came to meet us. I don't understand why he did what he did, there were no signs for us.' Police attended Riley's home after the school became concerned at not hearing from him. Detective Constable Jane Lawrenson said: 'When I arrived the house was in darkness and there was a blue recycling bin outside. I knocked on the door for approximately five minutes but there was no reply. 'I knocked on a neighbour's door but she said she had not seen the male all week which was not unusual. Another neighbour said that he usually parked his motorbike outside and the bin had been there since the 13th.' She said that uniform assistance were required who enforced the door down. She said that Riley was found in the front upstairs bedroom. She added that Riley had been bailed with conditions and that he had received a letter from Stoneyhurst College that week notifying him of his suspension. Bailed: Mr Riley had been released on bail while police investigated the allegations . She said that a number of items were . being examined following Riley's arrest and interview and there was a . 'high probability' that he would be charged on the information the . police had gathered. Asked if the allegations related to his work at the school and whether he would certainly have been dismissed by the school, DC Lawrenson replied 'yes'. Inquest: A coroner ruled that Neil Riley, pictured at his first job after qualifying at Walverden ward at Reedyford hospital Nelsonin 1979, committed suicide . Recording a verdict of suicide, Coroner Michael Singleton said: 'Given the matter of the allegations he faced, the consequences, and taking into account the circumstances he was found, my only conclusion is that Neil Riley intended to bring about the end of his own life. 'A problem shared is a problem halved, I understand that it can all become too much. I'm sure if he had taken the opportunity to talk to family and friends he would have had a great deal of suppose and all would not have been lost.' Stonyhurst College - whose French motto, Quant Je Puis means 'As Much as I Can' - is a coeducational Roman Catholic independent school, adhering to the Jesuit tradition and was founded in 1593. Former old boys include Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of Sherlock Holmes, England rugby star Kyran Bracken and Mark Thompson, former Director General of the BBC. In 1998 a Jesuit priest who sexually abused four pupils aged between 12 and 16 while a maths teacher at the school between 1987 and 1995 was jailed for five years. The sentence was reduced to three years on appeal. At the time of his trial the Catholic church run Society of Jesus blamed a breakdown in communication for their failure to take heed of warnings about the priest's behaviour while abroad. Before being convicted, the Jesuits had sent him to Canada for psychiatric treatment and he later went to Our Lady of Victories, in Gloucestershire, the retreat where fallen priests from the UK and the Irish Republic are sent.

By . Ben Spencer . Families should be banned from sending any food waste to landfill, according to a group of MPs. The controversial proposal, which would see all English homes forced to use ‘slop buckets’ to recycle kitchen scraps, was last night welcomed by green campaigners. Claiming its aim is to tackle a throwaway society, the Commons Environmental Audit Committee urged the Government to force councils to compost or re-use 100 per cent of food waste. Scroll down for video . The Commons Environmental Audit Committee wants to ban households from sending food waste to landfills . Labour MP . Joan Walley, who chairs the committee, said: ‘Food waste could be used . to produce biogas for energy and fertiliser for our farming system, yet . at the moment too much is thrown into landfill where its value is lost . and it produces climate-changing gases like methane.’ Nearly . 7.6million households in Britain – 27 per cent of all homes – already . have kitchen waste collections. But many are reluctant to use them, with . just 6 per cent of all food sent for recycling. They consider the food caddies unhygienic and messy, and too liable to be knocked over and targeted by vermin. Doretta . Cocks, founder of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collection, said: ‘I . have a food caddy and I don’t use it – I don’t want it sitting in my . kitchen and I don’t want it sitting on the pavement. ‘They get full of maggots, they aren’t done up properly and they spill over on the street. ‘What I can’t see is how councils would enforce a rule like this – bin men aren’t going to go through your wheelie bin to check if there’s any food in there are they?’ The green lobby is keen to see the expansion of food collections and stricter rubbish rules. Friends of the Earth campaigner Julian Kirby said: ‘We live in a throwaway society we cannot sustain. With the enormous energy, water and land cost of producing food, particularly meat and dairy products, the committee is absolutely right to propose a ban on food waste to landfill.’ The committee’s report said: ‘Just 400,000 tonnes of food waste is separately collected for organic recycling in the UK out of the 7.2million tonnes thrown out by households every year – around 6 per cent. Instead this food waste could be collected separately and composted or used in anaerobic digesters to produce biogas and renewable energy and fertiliser.’ The report also criticised councils’ inconsistent recycling schemes, which it said should be standardised across England. It also proposed lower VAT on recycled products and longer warranties for consumer goods. But the report was dismissed by the Government as unrealistic.The Department for Communities and Local Government, which has authority over England’s councils, has tried to bring back weekly bin collections and simplify the recycling system. But it has faced resistance from authorities trying to cope with reduced costs while meeting tough EU recycling targets. Penny Mordaunt, who was appointed Communities Minister in last week’s reshuffle, said: ‘We don’t agree with these calls which would result in a proliferation of bins. ‘Rather than bullying families with unfair fines and confusing bin rules, councils should be providing regular and comprehensive rubbish and recycling collections, especially given people pay a lot of money in council tax.’ The Local Government Association, which represents councils, said: ‘There is a strong case for banning not just food from landfill, but also furniture, paints and textiles. This will help promote  a thriving reuse economy.’

Family photo: Ben Butler, pictured with his wife Jennie, their six-year-old daughter Ellie and her younger sister, has been arrested in connection with Ellie's unexplained death . A Father has been arrested in connection with the death of his six-year-old daughter. Ben Butler, 33, was being questioned by police yesterday after Ellie suddenly collapsed and died at their family home in Surrey. Officers said they were treating the death as ‘unexplained’ and that investigations were ongoing. Emergency services were called to the family’s three-bedroom flat in Sutton on Monday afternoon. Ellie, who lived there with her father, a former removal man, mother Jennie Gray, 32, an artist, and sister, was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead a short time later. Within hours Mr Butler was arrested and was still being held in custody last night. Neighbours described how Mr Butler watched as paramedics  tried to revive Ellie, who was  only half-dressed, for 15 minutes  as he cradled his other daughter in his arms. Melanie Hutson, 25, a waitress, said: ‘The paramedics came  out first with Ellie. She was on  a stretcher. ‘She had her pyjama bottoms  on but no top. They took her  down to the ambulance on the ground floor. ‘There was about six of them there trying to revive her. One was pumping on her chest. ‘Her father was walking behind carrying his other daughter. 'You could tell he was in a right state. He just looked completely shocked. He was white as a sheet. ‘He wasn’t saying anything,  just looking at the ambulance staff. He was about 10ft away. I’ve never seen a look like that on someone’s face before.’ The neighbour said there was no sign of the girl’s mother, adding: ‘I’m guessing she must have been out or in the house because she wasn’t there the whole time.’ A close member of her family, who did not want to be named, paid tribute to a ‘bright, beautiful girl’.

(CNN) -- What rules must a turkey sandwich follow in order to board an airplane? With the six needles found in sandwiches on four international Delta Air Lines flights from the Netherlands to the United States, it's a question already stressed travelers are starting to ask. Assuming you get any food on your flight these days, how do you know it's safe to eat? Each country is responsible for setting its own in-flight catering rules, says Perry Flint, a spokesman for the International Air Transport Association, an airline industry group. The United Nations' International Civil Aviation Organization also has standards and guidance on catering security. The Transportation Security Administration declined to specify its catering rules "so as to not violate the integrity of these measures," TSA spokesman David Castelveter wrote in an e-mail. "TSA conducts ongoing inspections to ensure airlines and contractors comply with these security requirements." At foreign airports, the TSA's role "is as an evaluator of those programs." Tainted food: A sticky situation for airline travelers . None of the U.S. airlines contacted by CNN.com, including Delta, would comment on specifics of how food moves from manufacturing plants and commercial food kitchens to their airplanes. Nor would two of the largest airline catering companies, including Gate Gourmet, which supplied the turkey sandwiches under investigation. Gate Gourmet said it is "cooperating fully with investigations by local and federal authorities and by our customer. As such, further details of this matter must remain confidential" and referred to its website for information on safety procedures. To learn more, CNN.com turned to Peter Jones, a professor with a specialty in airline catering at the University of Surrey's School of Hospitality and Tourism Management in England. The following is a transcript of that interview, edited and condensed for clarity: . CNN: What threats does a company screen for? Peter Jones: Random sampling of food items is to test for pathogenic organisms to ensure against food poisoning. This is typically outsourced. Visual inspection of trays and trolleys is just for quality assurance purposes rather than to protect against threats. X-ray is designed to reveal weapons and bombs. CNN: Is every food item that goes on a plane screened? Or do catering companies and government agencies do spot inspections? Jones: Spot testing and inspection (are conducted) mostly by supervisors, rarely by outside agencies. Three things could be screened -- the items put on the tray; the tray once it is laid up; and the trolleys once they are full of trays. In most cases across the world, such screening is simply visual and random sampling. In some high-threat countries (for example, in the Middle East) trolleys are X-rayed (like luggage is), but this is not commonplace. CNN: What is done when an apparently deliberate act of malice is discovered? Jones: Such an isolated, one-off incident like this is extremely difficult to prevent. It could happen not just in a flight kitchen but in any food preparation operation, where a malicious person could tamper with food. In this instance, it is likely that the sandwiches would be labeled and coded so that it would be known when they were made, and possibly by whom. The most likely perpetrator is the employee who made the sandwiches, but this is not necessarily the case. The needles could have been inserted after the product was made and packaged -- during transportation to the plane. Close inspection of the packaging will reveal this (and the loaders will be known). It is also possible that the needles were placed in the products used to make the sandwiches (the bread and filling), further up the supply chain. This is less likely as the sandwich maker should have detected such tampering. Again close examination is likely to reveal if this were the case. Such analysis narrows down who might have done the tampering, and hence further steps can be taken to monitor the suspects and potentially prove their guilt. CNN: Will airlines or their caterers change any procedures as a result of this incident? Jones: Neither the airline nor flight caterer will change their suppliers because of this one incident. Millions of airline meals get served every day and billions in a year. Hence the likelihood of this happening is the equivalent of winning the lottery or aliens landing in Nebraska. No system is completely risk-free and to suggest that this, or any other incident like it, can be completely eliminated is fantasy. You are probably 100 times more likely to die in a plane crash than eat contaminated food on a plane. CNN's Mike Ahlers and Marnie Hunter contributed to this report.
Airlines and caterers have shared few details about food inspection on planes . Airline catering usually spot tested, expert says . Expert: Isolated, one-off incidents such as recent Delta episode are difficult to prevent .

Pointed: Melynda Moon paid £250 for 'elven ears' A woman who wanted to look like an elf has had an operation on her ears to make them more pointed. Melynda Moon, 23, believes she comes from a different realm and was a fairy in her past life. She paid £250 for the operation that she feels will put her back in touch with her mythical side. Ms Moon - who also had her name changed by deed poll - had the tops of her ear cartilage skinned and pieces cut from the tips to form points. This gave her ears the triangular tips characteristic of the magical figures in her  favourite film, The Lord Of The Rings. The treatment lasted two hours. Stitches holding the whole ensemble together stayed in for a couple of weeks to allow the skin to fuse - and the result was fully 'elven' ears. Ms Moon has also had a subdermal implant in . her hand which represents the Triforce symbol for the Legend of Zelda. The model, from Guelph in Onatrio, said: 'Pointed ears are the most adorable thing, and I find the elven attire is so elegant. 'My inspiration comes from The Lord Of The Rings: the long hair, dresses and the closeness to nature. 'I . have always been very close to nature. When I found out I could have my . ears pointed I have never been so sure of something in my entire life.' Scroll down for video . Creating the look: Ms Moon underwent a two-hour operation to have her ears cut and reshaped . Before: Ms Moon's ear in its former shape . Ms Moon continued: 'I am drawn to elves because of their innocence, elegance and free spirit. They are a symbol of love and laughter.' She . described the treatment as 'a bit uncomfortable the day after' and . confessed that her ears 'were really swollen and sore with a slight . burning sensation'. But she added: 'It was completely worth it. 'I have a handful of people assume I am dressed up because I have put on pointed ears,' she said. 'When I tell them they are real, they look pretty confused as if they are waiting for me to say 'just kidding' - but I am not.' 'Obsession': Ms Moon says she has been a fan of mythological creatures since she was a child and believes she was a fairy in a former life . Ms Moon said she had been 'obsessed with all things mythical' since childhood. As a teenager, she said, she would use makeup and hair dye to make herself look 'elven' and even used Photoshop to make her ears look pointed . She said of her operation, which she underwent in August 2011: 'I have always had fantasies about what it would be like to be something other than human, so I decided to change my appearance to look supernatural. 'Now I will never go back to being human. I just lack the glitter and wings to fly.' Ms Moon said some of her friends use her to get their children to behave around Christmas. She said: 'Some people like to tell their kids to stop being bad because they know an elf who'll tell Santa they're being bad. 'Then their children see my ears and realise their parents aren't joking.' An elf is a supernatural being, probably originating from Norse mythology and folklore (although there are several sources) German folk tales often feature elves with magical abilities . Elves and fairies could be interchangeable in folklore and often had a reputation for pranks and mischief . Babies born with birthmarks have in the past been termed 'elf marked' while tangled hair has been called an 'elf lock' The Lord Of The Rings author JRR Tolkien was responsible for making elves into an almost angelic race and for adapting the tall, blond figure of the elf .

It is called Happy Valley, but the landscape of the BBC’s new crime drama is unrelentingly bleak. The programme has drawn criticism for showing ‘gratuitous’ violence in a string of graphic scenes. In Tuesday’s episode, the lead character - police sergeant Catherine Cawood, played by Sarah Lancashire - was savagely beaten in a basement. WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT . Beaten: In Tuesday's episode of Happy Valley, the lead character - police sergeant Catherine Cawood, played by Sarah Lancashire - was savagely beaten in a basement. Above, Cawood is pictured following the beating . As the show ended, she collapsed in the road, her face covered in blood, leaving viewers guessing whether she had died. It followed a harrowing incident last week in which another policewoman was murdered on a lonely country road. The camera panned into her terrified face as she was repeatedly run over by a car, before her body was shown lying in a pool of blood. An average of 5.8million viewers tuned in to Happy Valley’s first four instalments, and most praise its gripping plot and realistic police procedure. Cornered: An average of 5.8million viewers tuned in to Happy Valley's first four instalments, and most praise its gripping plot and realistic police procedure.

Above, Cawood is beaten against the windows of the basement . But some have expressed concern at its increasingly gruesome twists and graphic depictions of violence against women. Reacting to the latest show on Twitter, viewer Richard Foster said: ‘Not so much happy valley as brutal, violent, drug-ridden, death valley!’ Francois Garcia added: ‘Happy Valley on BBC is far from happy, more incredibly violent. Is this a real reflection of Yorkshire life? God help us if it is.’ Zoe Smith said: ‘Still shaking from the stress of it all. Gruesome, gripping, great TV.’ A fourth, using the name Loopy Lobes on . the BBC’s Points of View online message board, said: ‘A cracking . programme, but I have to confess that I wouldn’t have started watching . if I’d known there’d be so much violence, not my thing at all, but it . had me jumping out of my seat urging the women on.’ Rescued: Cawood is pulled out on to the street following the beating in Tuesday's episode of Happy Valley . Collapse: As the show ended, Cawood collapsed in the road (pictured), her face and hands covered in blood . The BBC said it had received 15 complaints about the episode, which aired between 9pm and 10pm after the watershed, while 45 viewers contacted the corporation to say how much they enjoyed the show. Broadcasting regulator Ofcom received one complaint. However, Vivienne Pattison of Mediawatch-UK, which campaigns for stronger regulation, said: ‘This is part of a worrying trend in TV drama. Over the last couple of years, we have seen more and more shows depicting gratuitous  violence, often against women. 'The hit series Game of Thrones has really upped the ante, and we saw it in BBC shows like Peaky Blinders and Line of Duty. Uncertain fate: The end of the episode left viewers guessing whether Cawood had died . ‘This kind of graphic violence dehumanises us all, and studies have shown that watching it can stunt your emotional growth.’ Happy Valley is written by Sally Wainwright, creator of last year’s hit Last Tango in Halifax. The drama also starred Miss Lancashire and earned her a Bafta on Sunday for best supporting actress. In Happy Valley, the 49-year-old plays a police sergeant in a small, drug-riddled town in Yorkshire, who investigates a kidnapping plot. The show’s title was inspired by a nickname police gave Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, after it became known for cannabis cultivation. Miss Wainwright has said: ‘Like a lot of people, I guess I thought those kind of things just didn’t happen in a place like Hebden Bridge, but of course they do. ‘I’m not saying it’s worse than anywhere else, but everywhere – even market towns with lovely cafes and restaurants – has a dark side.’ A BBC spokesman said: ‘It was broadcast in a post-watershed slot and was clearly signposted with an on-air announcement before the episode started.’

The woman who cheated on a Chelsea footballer with his teammate claims she only had the affair after her boyfriend strayed with another woman. Rumours about a love-triangle between Caroline Lijnen, Kevin de Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois - all Belgians - first began in April 2013, but Miss Lijnen has now given her side of the story. Miss Lijnen claims she was only intimate with Courtois after midfielder De Bruyne - who's now with German side Wolfsburg - admitted that he'd cheated on her with her best friend. Payback: Kevin De Bruyne with former girlfriend Caroline Lijnen who says she had an affair with his Belgium and Chelsea . teammate Thibaut Courtois after he was unfaithful to her with her best friend . Kevin de Bruyne (right), pictured in action against Wales, was cheated on by his ex-girlfriend Caroline Lijnen . Lijnen, pictured with De Bruyne in pictures from his Facebook page, had an affair with Thibaut Courtois . Chelsea and Belgium goalkeeper Courtois met Nijnen in Madrid during a loan spell with Atletico Madrid . The 21-year-old says she met the giant goalkeeper during a visit to Madrid, where he was playing for La Liga side Atletico Madrid on loan from Chelsea. She claims Courtois wined and dined her in the Spanish capital and provided her with the engaging company that De Bruyne could not during their three-year relationship. Speaking to Story Magazine in Belgium she said: 'Kevin cheated on me. I did not say anything for months because I couldn't say anything, as Kevin's parents said they would take legal action if I gave my story. I was under pressure and I could not have contact with Kevin. 'I respected everything. But in his book Keep It Simple, Kevin wrote a passage about my affair with Thibaut. So, I decided to remain silent no longer. 'In the summer of 2012, Kevin told me that he had an affair with my old best friend. I gave him the choice: her or me. I was ready to give him another chance, but our relationship was never the same afterwards. '[I then went to Madrid, and even] Kevin thought that this trip was a good idea. I asked him beforehand. But then something happened that should never have happened. 'That evening, Thibaut offered me what I had not received during a three-year relationship with Kevin. With Thibaut, I could talk about anything and everything and he had even prepared me a delicious meal. Kevin never did it for me. 'Kevin had deceived me and I thought "Why shouldn't I do that too?"'

The pair are believed to have patched up their differences since the incident, although the Wolfsburg midfielder was said to be 'devastated'. A spokesperson from the Belgian FA even claimed the pair now laugh about it. Goalkeeper Courtois is alleged to have wined and dined Nijnen during her to trip to Madrid . Wolfsburg midfielder De Bruyne was said to be 'devastated' after finding out about the affair . Speaking to Story Magazine in April last year, press officer Stefan van Loock said: 'We don't deny that there have been private problems between Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne. 'But I've talked to both of them and they both confirm this case is closed for them. They have finished the quarrel. The guys talk again to each other and they even make jokes again. 'It's true the national manager has talked to both of them about the case. But it never has had any impact on the Belgian national team. It's a shame this case has gone public.

Joni Edelman knows that 'thin equals happy' is a fantasy - and wants more people to understand it, too. The mother-of-five from California has written an incredibly personal essay about how her quest to retain her picture-perfect size 4 body was not only making her unhealthy but miserable. A full-time nurse, Edelman was 35-years-old with three kids and weighed just 123 pounds because of her obsession with counting calories and working out. It was a condition she came to refer to as 'exercise bulimia'. Before and after: Joni Edelman says she put herself through hell to maintain her size 4 figure. So she decided to stop, and said she has never been happier . Flashback: Edelman, seen here on vacation with her husband, made a decision to stop torturing herself with diets and exercise and enjoy herself . Happier: The mother-of-five has not revealed what she weighs now, but was 123 pounds at her smallest . 'If I ate a cookie I needed to run 3 miles,' she told The Chicago Tribune. 'I was thin. 'And when I looked in the mirror, I still saw flaws; ''My stomach is saggy because I've had kids. My breasts have lost their volume.'' 'There was no satisfaction in the thinness.' Edelman's essay first appeared on Ravishly. In it she explains how she kept her diet to a measly 1,000 calories a day. '(I maintained being a size 4) by running 35 miles a week, by sleeping an average of three hours a day, by counting every bit of food I ate, down to a single cherry tomato, by writing and tracking my weight every day for a year, by running the stairs of the hospital during my 12-hour shifts, by losing my period,' Edelman wrote. Obsessive: Edelman (left) says she was living off a measly 1,000 calories and running 35 miles each week to retain her stunning figure . Better off: The mother-of-five says there is a 'stillness, joy and peace' to her life now that she's never had . 'Exercise bulimia': Joni Edelman would even work out during shifts at the hospital, running up stairs . 'Being a size 4 made me a lot of things. 'It did not make me happy. It made me obsessed with my workouts, with how much time I could fit in at the gym between taking care of three small kids and working 12-hour overnight shifts.' Edelman goes on to say she felt compelled to write about her situation in order to make people aware of what she calls a dangerous stereotype. 'This isn't to say that thin people aren't happy (duh), but this is to say that being thin is not: A. A cure for sadness or B. A guarantee of happiness,' Edelman wrote. 'It is to say this: Happiness does not require thinness. Fatness does not presume sadness.' Edelman, who has bipolar disorder, said the effects of her new approach have been dramatic, particularly mentally. Family first: Edelman's change of perspective has given her more time with her  husband and five children . All-smiles: Edelman felt compelled to write about her situation to call out a dangerous stereotyple that 'thin equals happy' 'There is a stillness, a joy, and a peace I've never had. 'It's worth 10 pounds. 'Ten pounds are insignificant when compared to my willingness to let some things go, to sit with my kids, to sleep. 'I'm happy. 'I'm fat and I'm happy.' Happy: Joni Edelman has written an insightful personal essay about how she is 'fat and happy'
Joni Edelman was 35 and had three children, but weighed only 123 pounds . She would run 35 miles a week, eat 1,000 calories a day and sleep only three hours a night . After an epiphany she stopped her diet obsession and has never felt better . 'Happiness does not require thinness and fatness does not presume sadness,' she said .

A screen shot on NewNowNext of the expanded options includes asexual, pansexual, questioning, demisexual, heteroflexible, homoflexible and sapiosexual. Even more expansive are changes to gender, which used to be limited to man or woman. Now, the site offers 20 more options, including agender, cis man, non-binary and others. 6 ways to embrace gender differences at school .

Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, said the U.S. government should bring to justice those behind a film that ridiculed Muslims and the Prophet Mohammed. Khameini on Thursday called the making of the film a "criminal act," according to the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

Two members of the film's production staff who spoke to CNN denied initial media reports that the filmmaker was an Israeli Jew.

U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Benghazi attack.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 10:50 EST, 11 July 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 11:18 EST, 11 July 2012 . Dream day: Naomi and Graham were married at St Audries Park in Somerset . A terminally ill woman who cancelled her first wedding day after she was diagnosed with breast cancer finally got a dream ceremony worth thousands - after it was paid for by complete strangers. Naomi and Graham Thomas became engaged a month before she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. The couple, who have a 22-month-old son called Devon, had hoped to tie the knot last year - but weren’t able to afford it after learning the disease had returned and spread to Naomi’s spine. Naomi said: 'We’d provisionally booked a beautiful hotel for the August bank holiday just gone. 'But, due to treatment and lack of funds it just wasn’t possible so we had to pull out with two months to go. My health and our son had to be our priority so we couldn’t afford the wedding.' Naomi has also had to come to terms with the heartbreaking fact that she is not expected to live more than another five years. Her story touched the hearts of locals in their home town Sidmouth in Devon who came forward to help organise and fund their special day. The generosity of events planner Sam Williams plus a mystery benefactor known only as Mary Poppins and several businesses from Sidmouth all played a crucial part seeing the couple finally become husband and wife. Naomi, 29, and Graham, 32, tied the knot at St Audries Park in Somerset at the end of June in front of emotional friends and family - including their son Devon. Newlyweds Naomi and Graham tied the knot at the end of June . 'We never in our wildest dreams thought we could ever have such an amazing wedding,' said Naomi. 'There are no words strong . enough in explain how grateful we are to all those involved, but I hope . they know that the day meant so much to us. 'Having these memories will help my family and friends to have some comfort when I am no longer here. 'Being Graham’s wife means the world to me, however long we may or may not get together.' The couple said their wedding was beyond their wildest dreams . Naomi reserved special praise for events organiser Sam Williams who she had never met before. 'Mary Poppins' who wants to keep her real identity a secret, made a crucial donation which paid the deposit for the wedding venue. Naomi hopes to meet 'Mary' for the first time in Sidmouth. She added 'Without Sam and "Mary" there is no way we’d have been able to get married, . 'It wasn’t just the financial burden of a wedding but the time and energy it would take to organise it. 'For Graham and I to finally be husband and wife was something we only dared dream about just months ago. 'We owe it all to Sam for taking on this project and to all the people who donated money or their time an talents to make it the perfect day.' Sidmouth businesses that helped with the wedding included Lydia Baker of Willow Photographic Studio, Sharon Charmers who did calligraphy, Rachel Sherlock of Rachel Sherlock Photography and Retail Therapy. Charity Dream-A-Way gave the couple a honeymoon in Egypt.The Karen Trust also made a donation.
'Being Graham’s wife means the world to me, however long we may have together' Treatment costs meant the couple cancelled their first wedding planned for last August. Local businesses in Sidmouth then helped to organise their big day this June .

woman who cancelled her first wedding day after wife means the world to me, however long we may perfect day.' Sidmouth businesses that helped Dream-A-Way gave the couple a honeymoon in
By . Paul Bentley . PUBLISHED: . 17:02 EST, 1 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 11:09 EST, 2 March 2013 . Whistleblower: Bosses tried to silence Sandra Haynes Kirkbright . A whistleblower claimed last night that she was hired by an NHS hospital to fiddle its shocking death rates. As hundreds of patients died needlessly, Sandra Haynes Kirkbright says she was headhunted by hospital bosses and asked to 'fix' the figures. She claims 'every rule in the book' was broken to try to improve mortality rates – without saving lives. The data recorder says she was suspended after refusing to take part in a cover-up, and even claims she was ordered not to put her concerns in writing in case they reached the Press. The astonishing allegations – which are denied by the hospital – have emerged days after the chief executive of another NHS Trust, in Bolton, was forced aside over a possible cover-up of high death rates. Experts have warned similar incidents could be happening in hospitals across the country. The fresh allegations are yet another blow for NHS chief executive Sir David Nicholson, who refuses to resign despite widespread condemnation from MPs, doctors and patients since last month’s damning Mid Staffordshire report. Mrs Haynes Kirkbright was hired by the Royal Wolverhampton Hospitals NHS Trust as a ‘health coder’, an administrative role which involves recording data detailing patients’ care in hospitals. Coders do not need medical qualifications, leading critics to argue that they have disproportionate power to affect how hospitals are seen to be performing. Mrs Haynes Kirkbright, from Texas, said she was approached following concerns over the shocking number of weekend deaths, which had contributed to the Trust scoring one of the highest mortality rates in the country. Damning: Mrs Haynes Kirkbright added that patient care at Wolverhampton was as bad or worse as at scandal-hit Stafford Hospital (pictured) She said she ‘wouldn’t even send a dog’ to Royal Wolverhampton Hospital and claims patient care was as bad or . worse as at scandal-hit Stafford Hospital, where as many as 1,200 . patients died needlessly. But instead of making efforts to . improve care, bosses at the Trust were convinced that the high death . rate could be ‘fixed’ by fiddling statistics, she said. She . claimed they offered to almost double her salary to £54,000 a year to . distort mortality figures, mistakenly believing she had been doing the . same at her former employer, Stafford. ‘They wanted me to fix it. But they didn’t want me to fix it properly,’ she said. She took the job in October 2011 – but  said that when she realised what hospital bosses wanted her to do, she refused. However, she claimed others at the Trust were ‘breaking every rule in the book’. The allegations are another blow for NHS chief executive Sir David Nicholson (pictured) For example, recording that a patient was being treated by the palliative care team means their death, effectively, does not alter the mortality rate, because it is classed as unavoidable. She claims the Trust used any excuse to code patients’ deaths as unavoidable, even if they were never seen by palliative care doctors. The Trust angrily denies this claim – . yet between 2009 and 2011, Wolverhampton’s death rate dropped by 13 per . cent, from very worrying levels to the national average. This coincided . with the number of deaths recorded as ‘palliative care’ soaring from . 2.19 per cent to 20.3 per cent, about double the national average. The . whistleblower said the Trust also hired an independent company in 2011 . to advise coders on how to make deaths count for less on the mortality . score – yet said she made sure this was not acted on. And she also claims she accused bosses of fraud as the Trust was making money by charging the local Primary Care Trust for expensive procedures they had not done. In response, she says a senior figure warned her not to put allegations in writing because ‘the Press can get hold of it through Freedom of Information’. After four months at the Trust, Mrs Haynes Kirkbright was suspended for alleged bullying and harassment – which she denies. She says the real reason she was suspended was to silence her. She is still suspended pending a disciplinary hearing, but decided to speak out despite fearing the repercussions. The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust strenuously denied Mrs Haynes Kirkbright’s allegations. Protest: People gather calling for NHS chief executive Sir David Nicholson to resign . Chief executive David Loughton said . ‘every Trust in the country looked to Mid Staffs’ at the time to learn . how to reduce death rates – but denied hiring Mrs Haynes Kirkbright to . ‘fiddle’ death rates. ‘We categorically deny the allegations,’ he said. ‘The suggestion of any wrongdoing is simply not true. Improvements in the hospital’s mortality rates have been audited and . independently verified.’ The Trust admitted, however, they had been coding against national guidelines, but said they corrected this as soon as they became aware of the mistake. The Trust added that it was ‘categorically false’ to suggest palliative  care patients had been coded incorrectly to alter overall death rates. They explained the fall by saying 200 fewer patients had died.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday night put the country's southwest region on the highest possible security alert level, hours after a teacher and three children were gunned down at a Jewish school in Toulouse. The incident at the Ozar Hatorah school marked the third time in the past 10 days that a gunman on a motorcycle has fired on minorities in the region. On Monday, the teacher was shot dead with his two children, while the school's director saw his daughter shot and killed in front of him, Sarkozy said in a somber speech at the school. The president then returned to Paris and addressed the violence again in an evening speech from the Elysee Palace. French troops were present on streets, at train stations and at other highly trafficked locales in parts of southwestern France before Monday's shooting, as that region had been on a high alert level for years. Sarkozy made a point in his Monday night speech to note that France's security measures for the area will remain high. He also said that he'll suspend his re-election campaign until at least Wednesday, in the wake of the shooting. Representatives from France's Jewish and Muslim communities will meet with the president Tuesday, when a moment of silence is being planned to remember the victims, according to Sarkozy. One of the guns used Monday was also used in killings of French soldiers of north African origin who were shot and killed on March 11 and March 15, said Elisabeth Allannic, a spokeswoman for judicial authorities in Paris. A court in Paris on Monday opened an investigation into all three killings, under anti-terrorism powers. The gunman pulled up in front of the Jewish school just before 8 a.m. and started shooting, authorities said. The dead included a 3-year-old child, and a 17-year-old was wounded, according to local prosecutor Michael Valet. The gunman got close enough to his victims to shoot them in the head, local journalist Gil Bousquet said. In the shooting's aftermath, families hugged and wept in front of police cars around the school. Ambulances and police vans lined the narrow streets of the city, and a helicopter circled overhead as police on foot made their way through the small crowd of shocked locals to get to the building. Speaking from the school, Sarkozy declared that "everything must be done so the killer is arrested." "And of course our thoughts are with these families that are shattered -- a mother who has lost her husband and her two children the same day; the director of the school saw his little girl die before his eyes," Sarkozy said. The gunman wore a motorcycle helmet and fled on a motor scooter after the shootings, Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said -- the same method used in the earlier soldiers' shootings. "It's a horrible tragedy," he said of Monday's shootings. The Interior Ministry has ordered police across the country to contact Jewish organizations to arrange increased vigilance, Brandet said. France, which has one of the largest Jewish populations in Europe, had 389 reported acts of anti-Semitism in 2011, according to Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France, known by the French acronym CRIF. Its head, Richard Prasquier, and Minister of Education Luc Chatel accompanied Sarkozy to Toulouse. The group later issued a statement saying that, while it is too early to determine definitively the motive for the "horrible" crime, it appears it's a case of anti-Semitism. It called for increased security at places of worship and study as the investigation continues. Gilles Bernheim, the chief rabbi of France, said he was "horrified" and "upset." And French presidential candidate Francois Hollande said he felt "horror" over the killing. It comes directly on the heels of two other shootings. The first was March 11, when Toulouse police Capt. David Delattre said a soldier was on his motorbike when a helmeted man on another motorcycle shot and killed him. The soldier was not in uniform, and his motorbike did not have any military identification, Delattre said. 2 French soldiers killed in shooting . On Thursday, two other soldiers were shot dead and another injured by a black-clad man wearing a motorcycle helmet in the southwestern French city of Montauban, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Toulouse. French authorities link soldiers' fatal shooting . The more recent shooting caught the world's attention, soliciting immediate and strong reaction from Jewish and other leaders -- many of them thousands of miles away from the French crime scene. "Today, Jews everywhere in the world are weeping in sorrow and disgust in the face of this despicable terrorist attack," said Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress. "Targeting children is a particularly sick and vile act, and nothing can justify it." Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "savage crime" and said anti-Semitism could not be ruled out as a motive. "We follow with shock the news coming from France, and we trust the French authorities to shed full light on this crime and to bring those responsible to justice," said Yigal Palmor, the spokesman for the Israeli foreign ministry. Security heightened in U.S. synagogues . Police in New York, Washington and San Francisco all said they plan to increase patrols of synagogues and Jewish institutions, with New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly citing fears someone might stage a "copy-cat" attack. But he and the city's mayor stressed there is no "specific" intelligence indicating an active threat there. "Just because there's something that happens there, doesn't mean there are more threats here. But we take everything very seriously," said Mayor Mike Bloomberg. Abraham Foxman, national director of the New York-based Anti-Defamation League, said that Jewish people had just as much reason to be vigilant before Monday's attack as after, given some people's anti-Semitism. He said he was "shocked, saddened but unfortunately not surprised" by the Toulouse shooting, which he felt was "targeted to express hatred against Jews." "You hope and pray that it doesn't happen more often," Foxman told CNN on Monday night. "Unfortunately, you know that it's part of the reality. (Some) people will act out their hatred in a violent manner."
Chief of ADL says he's "shocked, saddened but ... not surprised" by the attack . A teacher and 3 children are shot dead at a Jewish school in Toulouse . Security in that region is at the highest possible alert level . A French Jewish group says the attack appears to be a case of anti-Semitism .

Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel declared himself impressed after road testing the new Pirelli tires that are to be used for the 2011 season. The Red Bull driver was back at the Abu Dhabi circuit where he clinched his first ever drivers' championship crown last weekend, after edging out teammate Mark Webber and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. The Yas Marina track played host to all 12 Formula One teams as they began a two-day tire test on the Pirelli rubbers, set to replace Bridgestone from next year. A total of eight sets of tires are available to teams during testing. Ferrari's Felipe Massa, who finished a disappointing sixth in the drivers' standings, was quickest in the unofficial timings on Friday, with Vettel in second. "I think the tires behaved well, better than expected given the short amount of time Pirelli have had and they've done a good job," Vettel told the official Formula One website. "Pirelli are obviously in the middle of their development and what we used today is not what we will race with, but it was a good start." Massa was three-tenths of a second faster than Vettel, and completed 94 laps of the circuit using two different types of tires. "It was a positive start to begin to understand the behavior of the Pirelli tires. I felt at ease right from the start and there were no unpleasant surprises," Massa added. "We acquired a lot of data which will be useful for the Italian company to develop the tires still further for the start of the 2011 season. "On the harder tires, there were some difficulties over a long run while the softs worked well both on the very first lap and also after they had done a larger number of laps." McLaren test driver Gary Paffett claimed third place while Kamui Kobayashi of BMW Sauber was fourth. "We have to hand it to Pirelli, the tyres are already on a good level and we feel it was a very positive day," said BMW Sauber technical director James Key. "We feel we learned a lot about the way the tyres are behaving and responding to different set-up changes."

(CNN) -- What are iconic and twisted and no longer free? Pretzels aboard some Continental Airlines flights. Continental stopped serving complimentary snacks to passengers flying coach on domestic routes this week. The change is consistent with the carrier's merger-partner United Airlines' policy of food for purchase. "We are removing beverage snacks -- pretzels and Biscoff [cookies] -- in an effort to reduce costs and align ourselves with many of our network competitors," Continental representative Andrew Farraro said. Continental expects the pretzel and cookie cut could save $2.8 million annually. The move comes after some domestic airlines, including American and US Airways, have already dropped free in-flight treats. Delta, JetBlue, Airtran and Southwest still offer freebies. Delta, the last major legacy airline to provide them, has no plans to downsize its snack system. "We believe complimentary snacks are an appropriate component to the flight," Delta representative Chris Kelly Singley said. "There are no plans of changing that right now." Raymond Kollau of Airlinetrends.com said the once-popular "free snack" is no longer a travel staple or airline standard. "Continental's move is just another sign of legacy carriers reducing amenities in order to shave off a bit of their costs in an industry with cutthroat competition and razor-thin margins," he said. Rather than spending millions on reintroducing free in-flight food on United flights, Continental is staying consistent with its merger-partner and creating room for profit with snack packs starting at $3.95 on coach flights, he said. "For passengers, it means another 'full-service' airline that eliminates even the most basic amenities," Kollau said. "Of course, passengers won't walk away from Continental because their free snack has gone, but what is left of their sympathy for the airline is disappearing fast this way. Although a small service, I think the free snack is quite valued by passengers." Hungry air travelers could blame rising fuel costs, said global aviation consultant Mike Boyd of Boyd Group International. "It's to be expected when the price goes over $3 a gallon," he said. "They're going to be doing whatever they can. I don't know what they'll cut next, but I'm sure they'll find something." Boyd said snack removal shouldn't be considered a calamity. Passengers will shrug and fly anyway. "We're talking about a bag of pretzels here," he said. "I call that litter in the seat back pocket."

A Japanese scientist who published a paper claiming ordinary cells could be turned into stem cells by bathing them in acid has today been forced to apologise after she was accused of falsifying data. Haruko Obokata, 30, choked back tears during a televised news conference packed with hundreds of reporters, but insisted she did not tamper with the data to fabricate results. She said she did not agree with retracting the research, claiming that cell transformation had been 'confirmed many times for a fact' and vowed to prove it if she is allowed back into a lab. Scroll down for video . Japanese scientist Haruko Obokata, 30, has been forced to publicly apologise after being accused of falsifying data in a report on stem cells . The paper claimed ordinary cells could be turned into stem cells by bathing them in mild acid. But the company Obokata works for says she used some incorrect images and wrongly altered another . A distraught Obokata struggled to contain her emotions during the press conference, choking back tears . She has contested allegations of research malpractice made by a panel of scientists at the government-funded Riken Center for Development Biology, where she is employed. Obokata said the company had advised her not to speak publicly about the controversy and today's press conference, which lasted for over two hours, marks her first public appearance in weeks. The decision to appear was made despite doctors' orders to stay at home after she went to hospital for treatment treatment Monday. 'I wasn't able to sleep well and was feeling worse and worse,' she said. 'I take this responsibility severely. I am deeply sorry.' Obokata apologised repeatedly for using wrong images and for having altered an image in the report. She attributed her mistakes to inexperience and her 'limited abilities,' and appealed to fellow researchers to continue the work. She added: 'The research was done accurately and the data exists to prove it so I would like to ask for your understanding that the research paper was not completed with a malicious intent.' Despite being forced into a humiliating public apology, Obokata stands by her research, saying she can prove the results if she is allowed back into her lab . Today's appearance is the first time in two weeks that Obokata has been seen in public, and comes despite medics warning her to stay at home . Obokata opposes pulling the report from the scientific journal in which it was published, saying that the conclusions of the report are correct even if there are mistakes in the method . Obokata said she opposes retracting the paper, published in the journal Nature, because it would give the international community the impression that the whole project was incorrect. Kazuhiko Murotani, a lawyer who appeared alongside Obokata, went through Riken's findings in detail and concluded with a call for a review and more investigation of the research. He said: 'The investigation was inadequate. It was carried out very quickly. It needs to be redone.' Announcing its findings, Riken also faulted Obokata's fellow researchers and senior staff for failing to fully verify the results in the paper. However, it held Obokata solely responsible for fabricating information and other mistakes in the data. Obokata said she needs access to her computer in the laboratory and to her research notebooks to be able to prove she succeeded in turning cells from spleens of newborn mice into stem cells by exposing them to a more acidic environment than they are used to. If replicated with human cells, the research would mark a huge leap forward in the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer’s, heart disease and stroke. In an emailed statement, company Riken said Obokata had the right to appeal its findings.
Haruko Obokata, 30, accused of falsifying data in stem cell report . Claimed ordinary cells could be turned into stem cells using acid . Using person's own cells to grow organs reduces risk of rejection . However Obokata's employer says she used wrong images in report . She is accused of altering one image and making mistakes in her data . Despite challenging claims, Obokata forced into humiliating apology . She choked back tears today as she bowed her head in shame .

Controversial post: Forrest and Charlotte Lucas pictured at the Alzheimer's Association Rita Hayworth Gala 30th anniversary in New York. Charlotte Lucas wrote a controversial Facebook message last week criticizing minorities . The multi-millionaire owner of Lucas Oil has backtracked and apologized after she posted a furious rant to Facebook bemoaning the Muslims, atheists and minorities she claimed were 'running' the country. Indianapolis Colts backer Charlotte Lucas, 65, who is worth $300 million and founded Lucas Oil in the late 1980s with her husband, Forrest, 69, posted the controversial message to the social network on Thursday before deleting it. 'I'm sick and tired of minorities running our country!' wrote Lucas. 'As far as I'm concerned, I don't think that atheists (minority), muslims (minority) n (sic) or any other minority group has the right to tell the majority of the people in the United States what they can and cannot do here. 'Is everyone so scared that they can't fight back for what is right or wrong with his country?' Lucas confirmed the posting was written by her to an ABC affiliate, although the car lubricant multi-millionaire claimed that she was emotional when she let fly her invective against minorities across the country. 'I was very upset when I wrote that,' she said to ABC 6, without explaining what caused her furious attack on Muslims, atheists and other unspecified minorities. 'I will not elaborate other than to say that there are certain people who are trying to make the whole world eat what they want to eat and do what they want to do. 'I don't think it's any of their business what I put in my mouth. Thank you.' No context or explanation: Charlotte Lucas uploaded this post to Facebook on Thursday attacking Muslims, atheists and minorities . Palatial: In this screen shot from an interview prior to her Facebook rant, Charlotte Lucas is seen with her husband Forrest at their Indianapolis home . Controversy: Charlotte Lucas launched her questionable rant on Thursday evening at around 10pm Central Time . Family: Forrest and Charlotte Lucas, (second left and center) with their son and racing driver, Morgan and his wife Katie (second right) at the CARA Charities Fashion Show in 2010 . It has been speculated that Lucas may have been referring to Michelle Obama's 'Let's Move!' health campaign in mentioning eating habits, but in the absence of a full explanation it is not entirely clear. Taking her apology further, Lucas said that she recognized her attack could have been construed as insensitive, but she had no regrets. 'I apologize to everyone for the insensitive comments posted on my Facebook account,' she said on Saturday. 'My comments did not reflect my personal views about any individual or minority group, only my frustration that our government system sometimes seems out of balance. 'We live in a great country, but the agenda for our elected officials is too often dictated by special interest groups. Pillars of the community: Now retired racing driver, Dario Franchitti, Forrest Lucas, Charlotte Lucas and Scott Dixon attend Indy 500 Soiree Presented by Lucas Oil on May 25, 2012 in Indianapolis, United States . 'My comments did not reflect my true feelings, and I am sorry for anyone may have been offended.' Lucas Oil's general counsel, Robert Patison, also issued a statement in light of his executive vice president's dramatic and bizarre outburst. 'Actions speak louder than words,' wrote Patison. 'Lucas Oil is a small, family-owned, American company that prides itself on being a highly integrated and diverse organization with a great sense of community. 'We provide significant financial support for a broad range of organizations that serve the needs of veterans, women, other minority groups, and disadvantaged individuals throughout the United States. 'Fairness and equality are core values of our company.' Sponsored: The exterior of Lucas Oil Stadium is seen here.

Influence: A general view of the interior of Lucas Oil Stadium as fans watch the action on the playing field during a week 5 NFL football game between the Baltimore Ravens against the Indianapolis Colts in Indianapolis, Indiana on Sunday, October 5, 2014 . Lucas and her husband Forest, founded Lucas Oil in 1989 and under a sponsorship agreement lend their name to the Indianapolis Colts' huge new stadium. The family is known for their charity work and last spring, Charlotte Lucas was given the Spirit Award from the Madame Walker Theatre in Indianapolis which honored her work in philanthropy, business, culture and the arts. The couple met in 1979 when Forrest Lucas, who had by then divorced his first wife, went to Charlotte's hair salon in Indianapolis for a trim. 'She's still a beautiful woman, but back then she was drop-dead gorgeous,' he said to the Courier Journal in a prior interview. 'I was lucky to get her.' They married in 1982 and Lucas adopted Charlotte's son Bobby and they had their own child together, Morgan, who is a Hot Rod and Drag Racer. According to the in depth piece by the Courier Journal, Charlotte still cuts her 69-year-old husbands hair.

Egyptian voters this month ratified a new constitution that enshrines the military, police and intelligence in positions of unprecedented power. Filmgoers elsewhere could watch "The Square," Jehane Noujaim's documentary about resilient revolutionaries -- youth, intellectuals and Muslim Brotherhood -- fighting for dignity, social justice, economic empowerment and freedom. Which is the true Egypt? Both, but the second has been ignored by the Obama administration and much of the media. In Washington as in Egypt, there are two narratives: 1) The army has brought back stability, and the revolution is over; 2) Egyptians have banished fear, if not the regime, and many who led and joined the revolution continue to fight for the same aspirations, while soberly acknowledging the challenges ahead. The second narrative comes to life in "The Square," the Oscar-nominated documentary that tracks Egypt's uprisings from the inspiring 18 days that began three years ago on January 25, when protesters crossed Tahrir Square, to the crackdown on the Brotherhood camps last August. (Full disclosure: I donated $90 to the Kickstarter campaign that supported the film, and I know director Jehane Noujaim and producer Karim Amer personally.) Through the eyes of three revolutionaries who meet in Tahrir Square during the first protests in 2011-- Ahmed Hassan, a young street vendor who emerges as a charismatic leader in Tahrir; Khalid Abdalla, a third-generation activist and actor (star of "The Kite Runner," and founder of the post-revolution media collective Mosireen); and Magdy Ashour, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood -- we see the events of the last three years unfold in fits and starts of optimism, betrayal, and disappointment. This is the Egypt that the Obama administration has forgotten. This is the Egypt that took Washington by surprise three years ago. True, the initial promise of those utopian 18 days when the country overcame economic and ethnic barriers to find common cause, has not been redeemed. No surprise. After decades of U.S.- backed authoritarian rule, Egyptians have no reliable independent institutions, only the ability to take to the streets in protest. And now the new military-backed constitution takes that away. Ahmed, Khalid, Magdy, and their compatriots in "The Square" -- such as Ramy, who is brutally beaten by the security forces for the crime of leading Tahrir in song -- demonstrate that this Egypt is resilient. They may not have learned to organize political parties and to take power in three years, a failing that left first the Brotherhood and then the military to fill that vacuum, but they also are not abandoning the struggle for their rights. Egyptian activists behind bars on uprising's anniversary . Given the film's portrayal of the military's repeated attacks on protesters, beginning in March 2011, it is difficult to understand the infatuation with Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the army, a sentiment that extends to liberals such as author Alaa al-Aswany. Recently returned from Cairo, "The Square" producer Karim Amer said in a talkback session, "People are beginning to wake up and recognize what the regime is doing to divide Egyptians." In a tragic postscript to the film, Magdy Ashour currently is confined to his home -- a common fate for Brotherhood members -- unable to work for fear of arrest under the military's condemnation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. This is ironic, since Magdy sided with the revolutionaries against Egypt's deposed president, Mohammed Morsy. The current Egyptian regime's policy of outlawing a movement with millions of Egyptian supporters, one that supplied essential social services to the poor, cannot end well. And where is the United States? As usual, it has no impact. Having consistently abandoned those fighting for the goals of the revolution, the U.S. has steadily weakened its position of influence. Now the U.S. speaks to the military to no avail. While Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel dials el-Sisi to discourage growing repression, gaining nothing from their conversations, the U.S. is vilified in the Egyptian media. "The Square" should be a painful reminder for the White House, Congress, and State Department of the nature of the military regime the U.S. continues to back, . Egyptians, who already know this well enough, do not have the opportunity to see the film: It languishes in the state censorship authority. And no wonder. The military-backed regime surely does not want Egyptians to see the juxtaposition of army leaders promising "not to harm a single Egyptian" with the brutal beatings inflicted on protesters. The Oscars have done what the White House has failed to do: Recognize the ongoing narrative of Egypt's revolution. Now the Egyptian authorities must allow their countrymen to see their own history. There are encouraging signs that the Oscar nomination has prompted them to review the film's status. The Jumbotrons screening "The Square" in the Square cannot come a moment too soon.

(CNN) -- The murders of two Texas prosecutors has raised concerns about the safety of others in those positions, but the slayings of prosecutors in the U.S. is "beyond rare," according to a leader of the nation's state and local prosecutors. Scott Burns, executive director for the National District Attorneys Association, indicated Tuesday that there is no need for overreacting to the recent shooting. Burns said the best available figures show that only 13 prosecutors have been killed in the line of duty in the past 100 years. Neighbor of slain Texas prosecutor heard nothing unusual . A memorial in Columbia, South Carolina, erected to honor murdered prosecutors bears only 11 names, including just one federal official. The names of the two state prosecutors slain in Kaufman County, Texas -- District Attorney Mike McLelland and Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse -- will be added to the memorial at an appropriate time, the association said. While no one discounts the potential danger to prosecutors, officials are seeking to maintain perspective. The National District Attorneys Association has issued a statement to "remind all prosecutors to continue to be vigilant with respect to their personal safety and take appropriate steps should they receive any threats or cause for concern." Similarly, the Justice Department took a low key approach. "We always take the safety of Justice Department personnel extremely seriously and take appropriate steps when warranted," said Justice spokesman Wyn Hornbuckle. In contrast to the handful of slain prosecutors in the nation, the count of sworn law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty continues to mount. The National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington now bears the names of more than 19,000 officers slain while on duty, according to memorial officials.

Have you ever heard of the baobab fruit? If you haven't you probably will soon. Demand for a new African ‘superfruit’ which boosts energy levels and skin health has soared to record highs in the UK. New figures show sales of the baobab fruit, which contains three times as much vitamin C as an orange, has increased by 1,600 per cent. Antioxidants: Baobab fruit have become increasingly popular in the UK with their citrus taste and health benefits . Brits have rushed to buy the nutrient-dense superfood, which has incredibly high levels of antioxidants and tastes like a blend of pineapple and melon. Baobab is an excellent source of calcium, potassium, thiamin and vitamin B6 - all vital nutrients known to benefit general health. Sourced from the African continent, baobab’s calcium source is a non-dairy one, making it an option for vegetarians too. the baobab range is available at beauty emporium and pharmacy John Bell & Croyden and a number of organics stores. Baobab trees: The fruit has been used in Africa for centuries as a source of natural well being . Since launching in October last year, sales figures are 60 per cent better than its closest market rival.Dr Lisa Ryan, of Oxford Brookes University, said: “Baobab is a rich source of potassium which plays a role in lowering blood pressure. 'It also contains calcium which is vital for bone health, has a high soluble fibre content which is important for digestive health. 'It is also rich in polyphenols which have potential health benefits against diseases like atherosclerosis, some types of cancer and type 2 diabetes.' Dietician Sian Porter said: 'Baobab is an excellent example of a nutrient-dense, low energy food - a real super food.' The superfruit has attracted interest from celebrities such as designer Vivienne Westwood and fashion reporter Suzy Menkes. Baobab grows in thirty two countries across Africa and has been brought to the mainstream by new Africa-inspired health and beauty brand Aduna. For centuries people in Africa have turned to the baobab tree as a source of natural wellbeing, benefiting skin, hair and general health. As a fruit, baobab is unique in that it dries naturally on the branch before it is harvested, the seeds are removed and then sieved into a powder. Available as a loose powder, it is ideal for adding to smoothies and juices, or using as an alternative to sugar for sweetening yogurt, muesli or cereal. Josie Elles, of John Bell & Croyden, said: “Since launching with us late last year Aduna baobab has become our best-selling supplement this year. 'It has come from out of nowhere to become and both the brand and the product are ones to watch.'

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (CNN) -- A federal grand jury has indicted two Minnesota men in connection with the recruitment of Somali immigrants to fight with Islamic insurgents in their home country. Jamal Bana is one of several missing Somali-Americans believed to have fought with an Islamist insurgency. Salah Osman Ahmed and Abdifatah Yusuf Isse are charged with one count each of providing material support to terrorists and conspiracy to kill, kidnap, maim or injure people overseas, the indictment states. The recruiting effort took place between September 2007 and December 2008, according to the charges. Ahmed also is charged with two counts of making false statements to investigators. According to the indictment, he told FBI agents that he had traveled alone on a flight to Somalia when, in fact, he and another person were going together "so that they could fight jihad in Somalia." Ahmed was arrested Saturday, FBI Special Agent E.K. Wilson told CNN. Isse had been in custody for some time, said Omar Jamal, the head of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in Minneapolis. Both were from Minnesota and in their 20s, Jamal said. Jamal said Ahmed and Isse were "foot soldiers" carrying out the work of others, and that he expected more indictments "in a week or two." The FBI has been investigating what appears to be a massive recruiting effort by the al Qaeda-linked Somali insurgent group al-Shabaab in immigrant communities in the United States. More than a dozen young men of Somali descent have disappeared from the Minneapolis area in recent months, and at least three have been killed in Somalia, community leaders have said. The latest, Jamal Bana, was confirmed dead over the weekend, his family said Sunday. The same day, Somalia's president -- a former member of the Islamist movement himself -- issued a plea to Somali-Americans not to join the fight in his country. "I am saying to those young men from abroad: 'Your families fled your home to America because of insecurity. You should not return here to foment violence against your people,' " President Sheik Sharif Ahmed said. Al-Shabaab has ties to al Qaeda and has recruited foreign fighters to join its battle to overthrow the Somali government, U.S. officials said. It remains entrenched in the northeast and in sections south of Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, after fighting that has uprooted more than 200,000 people since early May, according to the United Nations. Wilson said the number of missing men believed to be in Somalia is "in the 10s," but their recruitment is "a significant concern and one that we're giving our highest priority." In October, Shirwa Ahmed, 27, a Somali-American believed to have been radicalized by al-Shabaab, traveled from Minneapolis to Somalia and blew up himself and 29 others. It was the first suicide bombing by a naturalized U.S. citizen, and it raised red flags throughout the U.S. intelligence community and sparked an investigation by the FBI. Burhan Hassan, a 17-year-old Somali-American high school student in Minneapolis, went missing eight months ago, around the same time as Bana. Last month, his family learned that he was killed in Somalia. Neither family has any idea why the young males left the United States, where they came as young boys, and Bana's family believes he was being held against his will, said Omar Jamal, head of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in Minneapolis. "Only one time he placed a phone call [in mid-November], he didn't say much," Jamal said. "He spoke as if he was being held hostage. He couldn't be speak freely. They asked him to cut the conversation short." Hassan's uncle, Abdirizak Bihi, said a fourth man -- 30-year-old Zakariya Maruf -- was killed Friday, but Jamal said Maruf may only be injured. Maruf was the first of the missing Somalis to head overseas, said Bihi, who has become a spokesman for the families of the missing men. Bihi called him a "leader" whom the others consulted on travel plans. Many of the missing Somali-Americans are believed to have left for Somalia when Ethiopian forces were still on the ground. Ethiopia invaded Somalia to push the Islamists out of Mogadishu in December 2006, but their presence in the country was an outrage to most Somalis and became a rallying cry for al-Shabaab. Ethiopian troops left Somalia this year, leaving Ahmed's weak transitional government to battle the insurgents. CNN's David McKenzie and Tricia Escobedo contributed to this report.

Early pioneer: Gillian McKeith was one of the first people to suggest a complete overhaul of the contents of your fridge as a good way to lose weight . I’m 50 and have spent my life overweight. I’ve done the Atkins and Dukan diets and Lighter Life, which left me bigger. I’m now on the 5:2 Diet but have lost only 5lb in two months. Am I cursed? You should be proud of yourself for persevering, but it sounds like you’ve fallen into the yo-yo dieting trap. The Atkins, the Dukan and Lighter Life are some of the most extreme diet plans on the market, and while this often works in the short term, restricting your calorie intake or cutting out whole food groups leads to fat gain when not on the diet. On the 5:2 you can eat what you want for five days a week, then restrict your calorie intake to a quarter of what’s recommended (600 for men, 500 for women) on the others. But this is a little misleading. If what you like eating on the normal days is processed food and sugary cakes and biscuits, you aren’t going to see the results you want. Is it also possible you have been treating yourself on these days, due to your disappointment at failing to get to the weight you want? Eating emotionally is another pitfall, as you’re more likely to reach for high-fat, high-sugar foods to make you feel better. I suggest a total overhaul of the contents of your fridge and kitchen cupboards. Gillian McKeith was one of the early pioneers of what’s considered a really healthy diet now, and one that will help you shed the pounds effortlessly. This will mean cutting out all processed foods – that’s anything that comes in a packet or has ingredients that sound like they were made in a laboratory. Dairy products, especially cheese, are also restricted. Instead, stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, organic eggs and other forms of animal protein, and nuts and seeds to snack on. I guarantee that combining these foods with the 5:2 eating plan, as well as adding some regular exercise (even fast walking) will help you see the results you want. The Alcohol Education Trust, whose supporters include Carol Vorderman, above, have launched a ‘Dryvember’ sobriety challenge . Go sober...every month . Last week I had my first glass of wine in a month - just as ‘Go Sober For October’ was being launched. I had been on ‘Sober September’, despite my belief that moderation is better than an all-or-nothing approach. However, my mood definitely improved without a tipple and I felt more focused. Now the Alcohol Education Trust – supporters include Carol Vorderman - have launched another challenge called ‘Dryvember’. Perhaps my new approach will be a month-on, month-off. Tara Stiles rules in the kitchen . I love the idea behind a new book by New York yogi and It Girl Tara Stiles. Called Make Your Own Rules Diet, it is divided into three sections – mat, cushion and kitchen – and designed to help you tap into the foods your body really needs with the help of regular yoga and meditation. The idea is that by taking the time to get in touch with your body, you won’t need to go on a ‘diet’ because you’ll be able to distinguish between real hunger and cravings, and nip emotional overeating in the bud. Tara’s also a vegan, so the recipes in the book are all plant-based – but the message is about finding a healthy approach to eating that’s 100 per cent right for you.

Thankfully the umpire did not have to ask for 'new balls, please' after this uncomfortable incident at the Australian Open on Thursday in Melbourne. Instead of a line judge calling 'out!', it was a case of shouting 'ouch!' after a ferocious serve from Spain's Feliciano Lopez hit a stunned ball boy right where it hurts. The unfortunate ball boy got in the way of Lopez's 200km/h serve during the first set of his match with Frenchman Adrian Mannarino, and had no chance of getting out of the way before it thumped into the tenderest of regions. Scroll down for video . Bullseye: There was no way the ball boy could get out of the way of Feliciano Lopez's 200km/h serve . The ball boy reacts too late and the ball  spins away after it hits him in the tenderest of places . Take a breather: The ball boy does his best to regain his composure after the incident . Grimacing in pain the stunned ball boy spun around after being hit and briefly tried to walk it off. But he soon got down on one knee to get his breath back as a worried Lopez then walked down the court to make sure he was all right. The umpire and players stood around the teenager giving words of encouragement, but they could do little to ease his pain. A worried Lopez of Spain can only look on and hope that the ball boy is OK after the incident . Lopez and his opponent Adrian Mannarino of France try to comfort the injured ball boy . Minutes later he was forced from the court as an anxious Lopez walked along with him. Ironically it wasn't the only retirement of the match as Lopez moved into the third round after Mannarino called it quits in the fourth set, despite leading two sets to one. At least in the poor ball boy's case he probably had a much stronger reason not to play on. In the end the ball boy is accompanied from the court by the the umpire and Lopez .

By . Bianca London . PUBLISHED: . 09:55 EST, 8 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 09:55 EST, 8 August 2013 . Whether your 'do is greasy, flat or frizzy, most women will agree that there's nothing worse than a bad hair day. But according to the latest research, women across the UK are waking up with . unruly hair at least three times during the week which adds up to twenty years worth of bad hair days in their lifetime. And each bad hair day . is resulting in females spending at least four hours and 26 minutes . feeling moody and depressed. Hair-raising: British women will suffer an . average of twenty years worth of bad hair days in their lifetime, which . makes them moody for over four hours each day . The psychological effect of a bad hair day is significant as eight out of ten British women believe their social acceptance and beauty lies in how good their hair looks. Key findings revealed that when women want to ooze self-confidence, be seductive and take on the world, it’s not the designer outfit, the killer heels or the freshly made-up face that carries them forward: over half of British women believe their inner strength lies in their locks. Hair idols: It's the bouncy, curly locks of Cheryl Cole and Holly Willoughby that most women want to copy in 2013 . The survey also revealed that sixty seven per cent of women would mess up a job interview if they were experiencing a bad hair day and sixty three per cent would cancel an important date if their hair was not looking its best. Nearly half (49 per cent) of the nation’s female workers reported they lose their self worth and do not perform to their normal standard in an important meeting or presentation if they are experiencing a bad hair day, a third of them have . even gone as far as to call in sick to avoid going into work with bad . hair. The survey by Travelodge also found that fifty two per cent of women would cancel an outing with their friends if they did not feel good about their hair. Top of the locks: Eight out of ten women believe their social acceptance and beauty lies in how good their hair looks and love the Duchess of Cambridge and Kelly Brook's locks . The study also revealed that British women tend to take their beauty cues from celebrities and a third of the UK female population currently favours big hair with bouncy curls such as the style donned by Cheryl Cole, Holly Willoughby, Kelly Brook, Kate Middleton and Kim Kardashian. Other research findings revealed that when faced with a bad hair day, thirteen per cent of women try to get away with it by wearing a hat all day, while one in ten women over-do their make-up to compensate. When it comes to being seen in public with bad hair, a third of British women would most hate their work colleagues to see them. Whilst a third of women hate the idea of friends seeing them without their usual sleek and shiny mane, a quarter of ladies don’t even want their partners see them with bad hair. Having a bad hair day has even led to one in 20 women being dumped for being so grumpy: twelve per cent of women have had huge rows with a partner simply because their barnet made them mad, while 14 per cent have been known to snap at their children. Cheryl Cole . Holly Willoughby . Kelly Brook . Kate Middleton . Michelle Keegan . Jennifer Aniston . Kim Kardashian . Kimberley Walsh . Anne Hathaway . Frankie Sandford . Liverpool: 24 per cent of women visit a salon each week and spend an average of £46.26 . Newcastle: 23 per cent, £40.94 . Essex: 24 per cent, £39.01 . Edinburgh: 21 per cent, £37.57 . Leeds: 19 per cent, £37.25 . Birmingham: 20 per cent, £36.48 . Bristol: 19 per cent, £36.12 . Manchester: 22 per cent, £36.06 . Brighton: 19 per cent, £35.77 . Cardiff: 20 per cent, £35.06 .

(CNN) -- A man alleged to be a senior member of a Tijuana-based drug cartel was extradited from Mexico to the United States on Friday to stand trial. Eduardo Arellano-Felix, 55, faces charges of narcotics trafficking, racketeering and money laundering. He was arrested on October 25, 2008, after a gunbattle with Mexican forces, the Justice Department said. Arellano-Felix was ordered extradited to the United States in 2010 but spent nearly two years on unsuccessful appeals of his case. "The extradition of Eduardo Arellano-Felix today marks the end of a 20-year DEA investigation into this vicious drug cartel," said William Sherman, the Drug Enforcement Agency's acting special agent in charge in San Diego. According to a Justice Department news release, his cartel, the Arellano-Felix Organization, "controlled the flow of cocaine, marijuana and other drugs through the Mexican border cities of Tijuana and Mexicali into the United States." Prosecutors said the group brought Colombian cocaine into Mexico by sea and air, then smuggled it into the United States for sale. The Justice Department estimates the cartel made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. "The FBI is pleased with Mexico's efforts to bring to justice a leader from one of the most violent criminal enterprises in our history," said San Diego FBI Special Agent in Charge Daphne Hearn. "The spirit of cooperation between our two countries is a powerful force in disrupting the criminal activities of these groups that instill fear and threaten the safety of our citizens in the border regions of the United States." Arellano-Felix is scheduled to make his first court appearance in San Diego on September 4. The Justice Department noted two brothers of the accused already are serving time in the United States. Benjamin Arellano-Felix and Francisco Javier Arellano-Felix were convicted on drug trafficking, money laundering and racketeering charges.

For several long minutes at the end the boy wonder of Brazil 2014 stood alone in the middle of the mighty Maracana, looking up at his own face staring back at him from a giant screen, taking it all in. James Rodriguez had scored twice to send himself soaring to the top of this World Cup’s goal charts. Step down a rung Senor Messi and Herr Muller. The first, that exocet volley on the turn  from well outside the box after chesting the ball down, has to be the most magnificent of all here so far. Stand down a notch Messrs Cahill and Van Persie. Scroll down to see highlights of Colombia . Unstoppable: James Rodriguez scored the tournament's best goal as Colombia beat Uruguay . Next big thing: James Rodriguez is top of the World Cup scoring charts with five goals . The second ensured that Uruguay went home unlamented in the lurid wake of Luis Suarez. It also made certain that Master James and the rest of the boys from Bogota dance on  - some celebration that disco jig of theirs by the way  - to a quarter final against Brazil. Colombia have put a smile as wide the Copacabana beach on the face of this football spectacular. Long may it last. Although when the pulses stops racing and the cheers die down you are left to examine the reality. The starting point for putting this gem of a team from emerald city into perspective is England. Had Rooney, Gerrard and Co come through to the Maracana on Saturday night instead of Uruguay the high probability is that they would not just have been beaten but horribly embarrassed by Colombia’s Latin American skills. VIDEO Team Profile: Colombia - highlights . On target: James Rodriguez scores his second goal in the 2-0 defeat of Uruguay . Sunshine boys: Colombia's skills and personality have made them a favourite for neutrals . And although football is not an exact science of comparison, it is just as likely that had Roy Hodgson’s team been required to face the Chileans who went so agonisingly close to ending the Brazilian dream, then they would have been despatched as readily as Spain. World class: James Rodriguez has scored the best goal of the World Cup so far . The  logicial analysis  is that England were the weakest link in an unexpectedly poor group. So while we relish the ball-juggling delights and youthful exuberance of Colombia, their excursion to Fortaleza on Friday may be as far as they go. Brazil are not setting their homeland alight as of yet but they were marginally better than Chile and withstood the enormous pressure of that penalty shoot-out to keep the World Cup alive and the socio-economic protesters on the back burner. Do not expect Colombia to give them quite such a torrid time. As the modern game’s heirs to the good old-fashioned ball dribblers of yesteryear they are a handful for anyone. But they are not possessed of the slick, angled running without possession which is  at the crux of that bewildering one-touch inter-passing, the hall-mark of the best teams in this tournament. Colombia are a collection of richly talented individuals, each of whom is eager for the most part to try to win games on his own. They did combine together brilliantly to create Rodriguez’s second goal but such collaboration is not their stock in trade. Of all possible opponents in the last eight, Brazil have to be the most daunting for Colombia. Not only because they the favourites and have home advantage but because they grew up among ball jugglers like these and consequently understand how to cope with them better than any other football nation. Still, it will be fun watching Colombia carry it to them. VIDEO Memorable Matches: Colombia v Chile . Big ask: Colombia face a tough challenge of beating Brazil in their home country . Rodriquez the 22-year-old prodigy is but one of half a dozen players capable of running any defender ragged. Martinez, Gutierrez, Cuadrado and full backs Zuniag and Armero also gave Uruguay fits. But they play a game to which Brazil are long accustomed and onto which Big Phil Scolari has soldered on some contemporary, steel-tipped organisation. Rodriguez has arrived today and is a stellar prospect for a glittering future. Whether or not tomorrow can come as quickly as this Friday, we should all  enjoy Colombia while we can.

A Coronation Street loving murderer has caused outrage after wardens allowed him to paint a life-size mural of the Rovers Return on a prison wall. Kiaran Stapleton, 23, is serving at least 30 years for the unprovoked attack which killed Anuj Bidve in Boxing Day 2011. The engineering student was on his way to queue up for the start of the post-Christmas sales when Stapleton senselessly shot him in the head. Murderer Kiaran Stapleton (pictured) has caused outrage after Strangeways wardens allowed him to paint a life-size mural of the Rovers Return on a prison wall . As part of Stapleton's rehabilitation at Strangeways prison (pictured), he was given art lessons and allowed to help re-decorate part of the prison . Stapleton took the opportunity to redecorate the prison to pay homage to his favourite soap opera with a 10ft high painting of the TV show's pub (pictured) Throughout his trial, Stapleton showed no remorse, telling the judge: ‘I’m not bothered. I love prison. ‘Lock me up for 55 years. Does this face look bothered?’ Police believe he had his teardrop tattoo done to show off to other criminals  that he had killed someone. He was initially sent to Full Sutton prison near York but was transferred to Strangeways in Manchester after he attacked a priest. As part of his rehabilitation at Category A Strangeways, he was given art lessons and the chance to help re-decorate the walls of the special intervention unit where he was housed. Stapleton took the opportunity to pay homage to his favourite soap opera with a 10ft high painting of the ITV show's pub. The artwork took him two weeks to complete and now marks the outer wall of the building which houses six of the prison’s most dangerous inmates. But the project has been met with dismay from MPs who branded his treatment a disgrace. Indian student Anuj Bidve (pictured) was shot in the head as he made his way to the post-Christmas sales in 2011 . Labour MP Keith Vaz last night told The Sun: ‘Those close to Anuj Bidve will be distraught that the thug that killed him is seemingly enjoying his time behind bars. Tory MP David Davis added: ‘Most people agree he should never be let out of prison and he shouldn’t be given leeway to pursue his hobbies whilst in there.’ But penal reform campaigners defended Strangeways. Andrew Neilson, of the Howard League, said: ‘Arts play an important part in helping people change their lives. ‘If this project is making him less likely to reoffend then it needs to be welcomed. ‘There is anecdotal evidence that art is a therapy which makes people think about what they have done and for that very reason the prison should be applauded.’ The special unit at Strangeways was home to Stapleton and other notorious criminals including police killer Dale Cregan. Both are now living on a general wing. Last night the Ministry of Justice said it did not comment on individual offenders. Pictured from left are Mr Bidve's brother in law Rakesh Sonawane, mother Yogini Bidve, and father Subhash Bidve outside the Houses of Parliament during a visit with MP Keith Vaz in the wake of their Mr Bidve's death .

A British man who at one time was the fattest in the world is pleading with the NHS to remove unsightly flaps of flesh after he managed to lose more than half of his body weight. Paul Mason, 50, who weighed 60 stone two years ago, underwent a gastric bypass after he was told he otherwise faced certain death. But he has been left with rolls of unsightly excess skin after the extreme weight loss and now needs an operation to remove the flaps hanging from his stomach, arms and legs. Scroll down for video . Slimmed down: Paul Mason now weighs 30st instead of 70st but wants surgery to remove rolls of unsightly fat . Back on his feet: Mr Mason is now no longer bed bound, but still requires walking sticks . NHS bosses have refused to perform cosmetic surgery, insisting that he needs to maintain a stable weight before it can be considered . However, NHS bosses have refused to perform cosmetic surgery, insisting that he needs to maintain a stable weight before it can be considered. But Mr Mason, who can now leave the house in a motorised wheelchair, said: 'I just need a little bit more help. I feel like I have been just left high and dry. 'I need this operation to . be able to get my life back, to be able to get back into society. It is . stopping me living a reasonable life.' The former postman, who weighed 70st - or half a tonne - at his heaviest, used to consume 20,000 calories a day, 10 times the normal for the average man. He said his binge eating was spurred by heartbreak in his twenties at the time of his father's death and a deterioration in his mother's health. He quit his . job as a postman when his weight prevented him from completing his . deliveries. He was transferred to a sorting . office, where he worked until 1989 when he was sacked and imprisoned for . six months for stealing from customers' letters. Mobile: Paul Mason in his motorised chair, in early 2011, on a rare day out near his home in Ipswich after losing 20st . Paul Mason, pictured in 2009, was airlifted to hospital for an operation to reduce his weight . The former postman used to consume 20,000 calories a day -10 times the normal for the average man - and sometimes went naked to avoid having to get dressed . Mr Mason spent around £30,000 a year on food and sometimes went naked to avoid having to get dressed. Then in 2009, Mr Mason, from Ipswich, underwent a £30,000 operation on the NHS at Chichester Hospital which drastically reduced the amount he could eat. Now his frame has shrunk so much that he has been left with swathes of loose skin. Surgery can be used to remove the excess skin but as the treatment is for cosmetic and not clinical reasons, it is not automatically available on the NHS. Mr Mason has been left with rolls of unsightly excess skin on his arms, legs and stomach . It will cost Mr Mason around £1,500 to £6,000 if he wants to have the surgery privately depending on the amount of flesh that needs to be removed . Mr Mason will have to pay around £1,500 to £6,000 if he wants to have the surgery privately depending on the amount of flesh that needs to be removed. His care bill costs taxpayers an estimated £100,000 a year and it is believed to have topped £1million over the past 15 years . On one occasion firefighters had to be called out to demolish the front wall of his former . home so they could drive a fork lift truck inside to lift . him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed a hernia operation . in 2002. Now and then: Paul Mason says he is desperate for plastic surgery. He is pictured at 18-months-old (right) PAUL'S OLD DIET . Breakfast: A packet . of bacon, four sausages, four eggs, bread and hash browns. Lunch: Four portions of fish and chips with two kebabs. Dinner: A takeaway such as a curry or pizza . Snacks: Pastries, . chocolate, crisps . (He would spend £10-£15 per day on . chocolate and £60 a day on takeaways) PAUL'S NEW DIET . Breakfast: Toast . Lunch or dinner: Now . he has just one main meal a day usually consisting of lean meat fresh fruit and vegetables . But Mr Mason, who has a a new target weight of 23 stone, is angered by the NHS's decision. He said: 'My consultant says he's always seen . there is a skinny man waiting to get out but it is so frustrating to . have got so far and just be at the final hurdle. 'I have times when I just sit and cry but then I think "I'm not going to let it get me down."' Health bosses have remained firm about their decision, stating that Mr Mason, who also suffered a heart attack following his gastric bypass, must wait before he has further cosmetic surgery. An NHS Suffolk spokesperson said: 'Before a . patient has an operation it is important to take a balanced decision . that is in the best interest of that patient. 'In cases like this NHS . Suffolk has a panel of people - including clinicians - who decide . whether the patient should have such an operation. 'A patient must have a . stable weight before he or she is considered.' Mr Mason also claimed that the NHS failed to help him as his size soared and instead of receiving a treatment programme to manage his weight, he said he was told in 1996: 'Ride your bike more.' He now hopes to learn how to drive and to use his experience to help others with eating disorders, including anorexia. He has also set up his own craft company to produce Christmas tree decorations and birthday cards. The heaviest man of all time was American John Minnoch, who weighed 100.2 stone. He died in 1983 aged 42. Two female carers take up to four . hours to wash Paul Mason because his size makes it impossible for him to clean himself. The women, who visit him three times a day, have to apply cream to every inch of his bulging body to stop chafing. He manages to soap his upper body himself and the nurses wipe him down. They used to look after him from 8am until 8pm but Ipswich NHS were forced to axe the service because of cutbacks. Mr Mason, who wears incontinence pads, has not walked properly since 2000 and wears size XXXXXXXXL clothes.
'I feel like I've been left high and dry,' says 30st man after £30,000 NHS operation . NHS says Mr Mason must maintain stable weight before they consider cosmetic surgery to remove flaps of skin . Over the past 15 years it is estimated Mr Mason's care bill has cost taxpayers around £1million .

SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) -- Chile called home its ambassador in Peru on Monday, as a dispute flared over disputed maritime territory between the South American neighbors. They have bickered over the rich Pacific coast fishing waters for years, and Peru published a new map on Sunday that pushes its bid to negotiate a new sea border. Chile's government protested the move and said it was calling home its ambassador in Peru, Cristian Barros, for consultations. "We feel that this type of publication (map) and this position certainly make more difficult a fluid bilateral relationship with the Peruvian government," spokesman Ricardo Lagos Weber said on Monday. "Chile will continue to fully exercise its rights and competencies over Chilean territory," he said. Peruvian President Alan Garcia said in June his country would take Chile to the International Court at The Hague to resolve the case. Peru's foreign minister, Jose Antonio Garcia Belaunde, sought to downplay the row. "It is an absolutely common diplomatic practice in novel situations like this that garner attention that ambassadors are called (back to report)," he said. "The channels of dialogue and communication must be kept open, and the countries must work toward a positive agenda," Garcia Belaunde said. The sea border, set in the 1950s, starts close to the land border and cuts due west across the ocean. But Peru says it was non-binding and rob it of 14,630 square miles (37,900 sq km) of fishing waters. Its proposed border is a southwestern sloping line that follows the diagonal land border into the Pacific Ocean. Analysts say Peru will have its day in court and the Hague is the only venue for the issue to be resolved, unless something happens to escalate the debate. "The only thing that could happen, which would be very worrisome, would be if some autonomous group carried out some kind of act of sovereignty (in those waters) now that Peru officially claims them. That would be a shame," said Ricardo Israel, a political analyst in Chile. Chile defeated Peru in the 1879-1883 War of the Pacific and seized a chunk of mineral-rich territory from its northern neighbor. The two countries have strong economic ties but relations are still rocky. The dispute over their sea border has bubbled anew over the past two years and comes in addition to less serious disputes over the origins of everything from a dessert and a fruit to pisco, a grape liquor. Peru and Chile are the world's top producers of fish meal, a cattle feed, and fishing is one of the engines of Peru's economy. E-mail to a friend . Copyright 2007 Reuters.

By . Associated Press . The unnamed child was made to walk a mile home from school (picture posed by a model) A judge sentenced a Hawaii man to one year of probation and a $200 fine for making his son walk a mile home from school as a form of discipline. Judge Kathleen Watanabe called the punishment 'old-school' and no longer appropriate, the Garden Island newspaper reported Thursday. Robert Demond of Kilauea said he picked up his son from school and asked about a matter that had been brought to his attention. When the son didn't respond, Demond made him walk home to think about his actions. The age of the boy is unclear. Demond's attorney and a prosecutor didn't immediately respond to a request seeking comment from The Associated Press. Demond was also ordered to attend a parenting class after being convicted of endangering the welfare of a minor, a misdemeanor. Demond pleaded no contest and said he would handle the situation differently now after the case went through two courts. Demond told Watanabe in court on Wednesday that he didn't think the punishment was morally wrong or criminal. He said it was a common form of punishment when he was growing up. Watanabe said times are different today, given child predators and traffic. Demond's attorney Margaret Hanson argued Demond had no criminal history and isn't a risk to the community. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Gary Nelson said the punishment was inappropriate but Demond did it to teach his son a lesson, not out of anger.

Binge drinking fuelled by cheap alcohol is having a ‘huge impact’ on health services, the head of the NHS warned yesterday. Chief executive Simon Stevens said the Government needed to deal with the ‘overuse’ of alcohol urgently as it is creating problems for over-stretched A&E units. He highlighted figures showing that the average price of alcohol relative to wages has dropped by almost half since the 1980s. The head of the NHS warned the Government needed to deal with the ‘overuse’ of alcohol urgently as it is creating problems for over-stretched A&E units (file picture) Although Mr Stevens did not directly call for a minimum price for alcohol, he said ministers should ‘take a look’ at what needed to be done. The most recent NHS figures show that more than one million patients are being admitted to hospital for alcohol-related illness and injuries every year –twice as many as a decade ago. But despite the ever-growing toll on health services, the Government has so far refused to introduce minimum pricing. Ministers claim it would hit responsible drinkers but critics accuse them of ‘dancing to the tune’ of the alcohol industry. Mr Stevens refused to be drawn on whether he supports a minimum price per unit. But at a conference at the King’s Fund think-tank in London, he said the problem of alcohol abuse needs to be examined imminently. ‘Alcohol, together with sugar, is one of the debates we really need the new government to address very early,’ he said. ‘The relative price of alcohol has come down by 48 per cent between 1980 and 2010. So that is something we will want the next government to look at. ‘We want the Health Service to stand up and be counted in this debate, recognising the huge impact alcoholism and alcohol-induced emergencies have all across the NHS. ‘It is an area of concern given the impact that overuse of alcohol is having on A&E departments and emergency admissions.’ The Coalition had proposed setting a minimum price for alcohol of 40p a unit in 2012 but shelved the plans the following year. The most recent NHS figures show that more than one million patients are being admitted to hospital for alcohol-related illness and injuries every year –twice as many as a decade ago . Ministers cited lack of ‘concrete evidence’ and warned of hitting responsible, middle-class drinkers. But last year it was revealed they had held 130 meetings with members of the drinks industry since 2010, prompting claims they caved in to lobbyists. Researchers say a minimum price per unit of at least 45p could save 600 lives a year and stop 23,000-plus hospital admissions. Yesterday Dr Cliff Mann, president of the College of Emergency Medicine, said: ‘We have tolerated excessive consumption and that is harming people. ‘The acute problems we see are people being very drunk, injuring themselves and ending up comatose. ‘It is possible to buy alcohol 24/7 and for vast numbers of the population, they have to go less than a few hundred yards. If you make it cheaper and more available, alcohol-related injury and illness will go up.’ Jackie Ballard, chief executive of Alcohol Concern, welcomed Mr Stevens’s comments and ‘support for a minimum unit price’. She said: ‘Excessive consumption is taking a heavy toll on the health of the nation and we’re all paying towards a £21billion annual bill. Hospitals are straining from the burden and police are stretched to their limits.’
NHS chief Simon Stevens says overuse of alcohol is overstretching A&E . NHS figures show more than 1million admitted for alcohol-related illness . This is twice as many patients that were treated in hospital a decade ago . Average price of alcohol relative to wages has dropped by half since 1980s . Government has so far refused to introduce minimum price for alcohol .

LONDON, England -- (CNN) -- Ross Lovegrove is a world-famous industrial designer renowned for combining cutting edge, organic and sustainable designs with the newest manufacturing technologies. Lovegrove (left) and Craffonara with a prototype of the designer's "alpine capsule," which is transparent on the inside and has a mirror on the outside. For his latest project, Lovegrove has teamed up with restaurateur and club owner Moritz Craffonara, who dreams of having a "bed under the stars," nestled on the peaks of the Dolomite mountains. Reflecting Craffonara's passion for nature and art, Lovegrove has designed an "alpine capsule" which will rest atop Craffonara's private mountain. CNN joined Lovegrove and Craffonara in Italy, to explore the ideas behind the design for the unique concept of creating a "bed under the stars." CNN: How did this project come about? Ross Lovegrove: Moritz commissioned me to create the alpine capsule. He is a bit of a legend in this area. This whole mountain top where I am sitting is owned by Moritz. At the age of 22, he started bringing all the wood up the mountain on his own back. He is now in his early 60s and he looks younger than me, he is somebody who is a great example of what fresh air can really do for you. He has been running his lodge for all those years and now that he has some money available and he has decided to invest in something that could be a complete stimulus for a new way of thinking on the planet. Moritz leads the perfect life. He often gets in his little plane and flies to Venice for a coffee in St Mark's Square. That's a very good life style. CNN: What is the Alpine Capsule and how it will work? RL: The Alpine Capsule is a very typical idea about the way we might be able to live off grid. It's the idea that you can have an autonomous environment which can provide all the comforts you need, all the warmth and all the water you need, but absolutely off grid. Watch Lovegrove explain the concept » . It is a habitation that is completely transparent from the inside so you can see nature around you and the stars. From the outside, the capsule is a mirror that reflects the surrounding nature. It is meant to provide the experience of being warm and cozy and at the same time being one with the vast universe. It would be quite remarkable if at 4 o'clock in the morning you can leave this pod, it can open like a private jet, and you could walk about on the snow privately and see the stars. What do you think of the Alpine capsule? CNN: Where did your inspiration for the design come from? RL: I tried to bring the kind of autonomous habitation systems that exist on a space craft and bring them back to earth. The shape of the capsule looks like a space object, that's why I called it the Alpine Capsule. But it's not as synthetic as you would think. My capsule is the most adaptive statement to date. You can put it anywhere because it is fundamentally an alien. CNN: Do you think the capsule's aesthetic will fit into its environment? RL: It is indeed an alien mirror-like feature. But it actually is not an invasive thing, its something that we have gotten used to, like seeing an aircraft in the sky. The capsule looks like a mercurial drop. Also, I think the traditional buildings in the Alps, built from wood, are very beautiful. They work in total harmony with their environment and I'm not looking to interfere with that at all. It's worse for me to look to design a hybrid type of structure that's trying to tastefully fit in. It would be worse for me to cover my building in wooden shingles. Ironically that would be more visible than what I am proposing. What I think is extraordinary, and this is my dream, is the idea that instead of creating a log cabin or a stone cabin, you produce a spaceship that has been dropped into that environment. So if you come back to something like the alpine capsule, in this simplicity and you lie on this irregular shaped bed, you don't have any references back to the life that you know. Maybe you can play incredible classical music or something that is going to stimulate your senses and you marvel at this 360 degree view around you. I could not think of a better way of getting up in the morning. My dream would be that Maurice gets inundated by people who want to experience this construction, when it is built in two years' time. CNN: What does the capsule represent? RL: For me the capsule is a metaphor of the future, because it's not only about the pollution and over-population of cities, it's about experiencing the planet. I live in London and I absolutely gasp for good air and here at the top of a mountain it feels perfect; the air feels perfect for my body temperature, the light in my eyes means that I can see things better than I can normally see things. The work that I do with nature is to heighten one's perceptions and to heighten one's senses. We have been increasingly detached from nature I think that we need to relocate. CNN: What attracted you to this project? Being a designer today at any level is a dream job; you have an opportunity to bring something into this world that has never been seen before. If you do that in the right way you can completely transform people's energy levels. People seem to transform into children when you show them incredible ideas like this. You don't need to be able to speak a language with design, the design itself can unite cultures, it can unite global ambitions. Our human life span is sort of out of sync with nature's life span. In terms of the creative benefits for me as a designer, I'm interested in the concept of being a visionary. I think you have to try and visualize the future and push it forward. We need to understand what we learn in the future, I have always said that design is an educational process and as a designer I make sure I learn from a project and increase my knowledge base.

By . Hannah Roberts . Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, the Vatican prelate accused of trying to smuggle 20 million euros into Italy on an airforce jet, is facing fresh legal woes after he was issued with another arrest warrant. The former bishop of Salerno, nicknamed ‘Monsignor 500 Euros’, after his favourite bank note, is now accused of laundering millions of euros through the Vatican bank by disguising it as charitable donations. Another priest has been put under house arrest as part of the investigation, and a notary has been suspended. Scarano allegedly gave his clients cash from the Vatican bank in exchange for cheques marked as charitable donations and a certificate of donation from the church . Until his arrest in June last year Scarano was chief accountant for the Vatican's property portfolio. He denies charges that he conspired with a former Italian secret service agent and a financial broker in a failed bid to bring the cash from Switzerland to Italy in a military plane, avoiding customs. Investigators yesterday ordered the seizure of assets, and froze bank accounts with a combined value of six million euros. Financial police in the southern city of Salerno said that Scarano's Vatican bank accounts had been used to transfer millions of euros in fictitious donations from offshore companies. The Vatican bank, formerly known as the Institute for Religious Operas, . IOR, and Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, who used to be the chief . accountant for the Vatican's property portfolio . Scarano allegedly gave his clients cash from the Vatican bank in exchange for cheques marked as charitable donations and a certificate of donation from the church. But his lawyer has said his client was merely taking money from donors who thought they were funding a home for the terminally ill. Silverio Sica said: 'We continue to strongly maintain the good faith of Don Nunzio Scarano and his absolute certainty that the money came from legitimate donations.' Some of the cheques were allegedly made out for as much as half a million euros. His clients included doctors, lawyers, architects and businessmen, according to the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. The scandal-hit Vatican Bank, officially known as the Institute for Religious Works (IOR), has been tarnished by scandal for 30 years. 'Hurt': Pope Francis is upset about the Scarano case . Pope Francis has said he was ‘hurt’ by the Scarano case last year, the latest in a series that have cast a cloud of suspicion over financial dealings at ‘God’ s bank’. The Pope has made a number of reforms to introduce greater financial transparency and fight money laundering at the IOR. In December the Council of Europe's Moneyval agency, a monitoring group of financial experts, praised the Vatican's progress, as it seeks to get on the 'white list' of countries with strong credentials on combatting financial crime. Last week Francis sacked all but one member of a commission appointed by Benedict to oversee the bank. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

his favourite bank note, is now accused of bank by disguising it as charitable donations. the seizure of assets, and froze bank accounts with a combined value of six million euros.
(CNN) -- The irony was not lost on most viewers of the Greek Prime Minister's statements as he replied to the public outcry over the hasty shutdown of ERT, the country's national broadcaster, with the immediate layoff of over 2,600 employees. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, Antonis Samaras was chastising a system that his own New Democracy party had helped to ingrain in Greek society and political life. Speaking at an award ceremony organized by the Athens Chamber Of Commerce And Industry (EVEA), he labeled ERT a "symbol of corruption and waste," and claimed it "controlled the flow of information without any accountability." Constantly repeating righteous keywords such as "transparency," he tried to justify his decision to pull the plug on ERT's national and regional TV channels and radio stations around the country, which Greek taxpayers had been paying for for the past 75 years. Newly-unemployed former ERT employees rebutted these attacks by issuing a statement revealing publically what had been common knowledge in Greece's journalistic circles: the final word always lies with the heads of the organization -- appointed by Mr Samaras. Namely, they pointed out "it was the General Director of ERT Emilios Liatsos who decided that the anniversary of the Paraskinio newspaper was more newsworthy than the tortures at GADA." Last October, in an article that led Greek Public Order Minister Nikos Dendrias to threaten the Guardian with legal action, anti-fascist protesters claimed they had been tortured by the police at the Attica General Police Directorate (GADA). The GADA denied the claims. Back then, the government that now champions transparency, went so far as to suspend ERT's morning show hosts, Kostas Arvanitis and Marilena Katsimi for criticising Dendrias's response to the incident. Only after this week's announcement of ERT's closure, under a Presidential Decree, did its employees feel free to broadcast uncensored. Only in the final hours before the shutdown was economist and writer Yiannis Varoufakis able to reveal on TV that he had been banned from that very channel for two years, and that on one of his appearances, TV presenter Elli Stai had asked him not to mention the words "debt restructuring." Of course, a portion of the public were aware of government-imposed censorship, and some even endorsed Samaras' recent drastic move. But in a country where unemployment has reached a record 27.4 per cent and cronyism has been the rule of the day for decades, it's slightly naïve to believe the coalition government leader's claims of cleansing and of a will to reinstate transparency. The shutdown was met with mixed feelings, not just among the viewers but also among the journalists themselves, with some complaining about ERT's lack of support towards the rest of the media world that had been facing layoffs and company closures for more than three years. "The journalists should have already revolted on behalf of the pensioners," one commentator said. This attack on freedom of speech, still reverberating in the Greek and international press, has also divided the fragile coalition government itself. The leaders of the other two junior coalition parties, PASOK and Democratic Left, say they oppose Samaras' decision, but are open to a reasonable compromise. The New Democracy leader needs their support for his decision to become law -- the alternative will render the coalition unsustainable. PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos said his party "doesn't want elections, but we're not afraid of them either." Speculations about an imminent general election is already circulating in the Greek press, but Venizelos and Democratic Left leader Fotis Kouvelis' need to cling to power is likely to make them go along with Samaras' decision. They might try to buy time, since at the moment international attention and support for ERT is overwhelming. The absolutist way in which Samaras chose to act on his decision triggered a media revolt which was long overdue, with blogs, websites and EBU streaming ERT's service online. Reporters Without Borders' executive director Christophe Deloire deplored the closure, explaining that such media shutdowns are "usual in dictatorships and rare in democratic countries." The question of whether Greece, formerly known as the cradle of democracy, still lives up to the title is a persistent one. What is certain is that the current form of democracy is deeply flawed and, unsurprisingly enough, the media and the way they have operated for decades are part of the problem. But switching off the state broadcaster will only exacerbate the problems, derailing democracy. A publicly-funded broadcaster is by definition crucial to media pluralism, simply because it doesn't have to make the financial choices privately-funded ones face -- especially in a country where the owners of private media firms are business magnates, whose aim is to influence the political world. Samaras and his coalition partners lack any credibility that would make a cleansing of the organisation possible. The Greek PM might claim he wants to get rid of the "corrupt" and "sinful" ERT only to establish a new, efficient organisation with only 1,000 employees, but the question is, given the track record of his party, who believes him?

[ "(CNN) -- The irony was not lost on most viewers of", "the Greek Prime Minister's statements as he", "replied to the public outcry over the hasty", "shutdown of ERT, the country's national", "broadcaster, with the immediate layoff of over", "2,600 employees.

For years, knitting fanatic Anne Feast has entertained local children with quirky displays of handmade animals in her front window. But when she put a gorilla there, police went, well…bananas. Two police community support officers knocked on her door and told the pensioner there had been a complaint about the ‘black body’, warning her that it was a ‘potentially racially offensive object’. Anne Feast, 70, was questioned on her doorstep about the 'potentially offensive' object, which she explained was a toy she knitted . The grandmother-of-two said that even after she had pointed out that it was merely a knitted gorilla called Cilla, she was asked to take it down – a demand she ignored. But now it appears the officers had invented the complaint, with their force insisting they acted on their own initiative after spotting the toy during a routine patrol. Mrs Feast, 70, said: ‘Two police officers, a man and a woman, knocked on the door at about 7.30pm. ‘They told me they needed to speak to me about the “black body” hanging in my window. ‘I said “Pardon? Do you mean the baby gorilla?” to which they replied “Ah, that’s what it is, is it?”. They said the gorilla had offended a passer-by and that I needed to take it down. ‘I told them there was no way I was taking it down and to be honest I basically closed the door in their face. I was so shocked.’ PCSOs decided to investigate after spotting what they thought was a 'black body' in Ely, Cambridgeshire . She added: ‘I wish I’d asked them what the person had found so offensive but I was too angry. I presume it was either the way she was hanging or the fact Cilla is black, both of which are, quite frankly, pathetic. ‘The police haven’t been back since and everyone I’ve told can’t believe it. 'I can’t believe someone would be so sad as to take offence to a woollen toy, let alone reporting it to police. I’m sure the police have more important things to worry about.’ Mrs Feast knits as a hobby and has two suitcases full of her creations. She always keeps one on display in the front window of the home in Ely, Cambridgeshire, that she has lived in with husband Philip, 71, for 14 years, and changes them regularly. The retired bank customer service adviser came across the design for Cilla the gorilla last year and had changed her position in the window a few times, arranging her in different poses. ‘It’s absolutely ridiculous. It’s not racist at all – gorillas are black. I couldn’t make a white one,’ she added. After the police visit Mrs Feast’s husband made a poster to put in their front window appealing for the offended passer-by to speak to them - but it now seems there was no complaint . But a Cambridge police spokesman has now said:  'At no point was the woman asked to remove the gorilla from her window' After the police visit, Mrs Feast’s husband, a retired lorry driver, made a poster to put in their front window appealing for the offended passer-by to speak to them. It said: ‘Are you the person/persons that made a complaint to police about the knitted toy? ‘Well why don’t you knock on our door and tell us face-to-face what your concerns were about this toy? These toys usually bring a smile to most people’s faces – especially kiddies. ‘I am so looking forward to seeing your face but it’s not going to happen is it?’ But now it seems there wasn’t a complaint after all. A spokesman for Cambridge Police said: ‘The police did not receive any calls from members of the public about this. ‘Instead, while out on patrol two PCSOs saw an object hanging from a window which they thought might be seen as a potentially racially offensive object. ‘The officers were unsure as to what the object was so knocked on the door of the home and asked the woman what it was. After establishing that the object was, in fact, a handmade knitted gorilla and nothing offensive the officers left and carried on their patrols. ‘At no point was the woman asked to remove the gorilla from her window.’

By . James Rush . This is the uncomfortable moment a group of tourists put themselves 'directly in the line of danger' as they got close too close for comfort to a pair of fighting jaguars. Wildlife photographer Paul Williams was overjoyed when he came across the elusive big cats in their natural habitat, the Brazilian Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland area, while filming for a television series. But Mr Williams, 34, who works for the BBC Natural History Unit, soon found himself becoming increasingly concerned as he watched tour boats jostling to see which could get closest. A group of tourists put themselves 'directly in the line of danger' as they get close too close for comfort to a jaguar . Wildlife photographer Paul Williams was planning on filming the animals but was blocked by several tourist boats who watched the animals as they fought . Mr Williams said the tourists 'went far too close for comfort. These cats have powerful legs and can jump several metres in one bound' Mr Williams had planned to film the animals, but was quickly blocked by several tourist boats wanting to get the best view. He said: 'I came across this group of young males on the corner of a river in the northern Pantanal - they appeared to be play-fighting. It wasn't long before a group of tourist boats also spotted the scene but I kept my distance knowing how dangerous jaguar are. 'The tourists went far too close for comfort. These cats have powerful legs and can jump several metres in one bound. In fact their name comes from the Native American word yaguar meaning "he who kills in one leap". 'At the time we guessed that they were about 5 metres away just of the edge of the bank. 'I was in the Pantanal to film various animals for a TV series. What I really wanted to film and photograph was jaguar - the biggest cat in the Americas and one of the most elusive and difficult to see. 'I couldn't believe my luck when we stumbled across a scene of four jaguar on a bend in the river (we only ever got a shot of 3 in the same frame) - a female and three large, but immature, males. We assumed that they were closely related and this would be a unique opportunity to film and photograph natural behaviour.' Mr Williams was overjoyed when he came across the elusive big cats in their natural habitat, the Brazilian Pantanal, the world's largest tropical wetland area, while filming for a television series . Mr Williams said while the area is officially protected, it is down to common courtesy and an unwritten code between guides for good practice to be observed . Mr Williams said he was guided by a Mr Toto, who grew up navigating the waterways of the Pantanal. He said: 'His philosophy is very much the same as ours - to observe natural behaviour and not to influence it. So we did the safest and least intrusive thing we could and moved our boat to the opposite bank where we could use our long lens to capture the action from a safe distance. 'Unfortunately less than 10 minutes later several boats sped into the scene, straight in front of us, blocking our view and putting themselves directly in the line of danger. As the numbers of boats increased the drivers became more aggressive towards one another, cutting each other up to get closer and closer until they were too close for comfort. 'The cats were clearly disturbed by this and didn't stay around long - but had they been so inclined it would have been easy for one of the jaguar to run and leap straight into a boat.' Mr Williams said while the area is . officially protected, it is down to common courtesy and an unwritten code . between guides for good practice to be observed. Mr Williams counted himself lucky on the trip, having had 'seven stunning Jaguar sightings in three days', although he describes the experience as having an unsettling aspect . Mr Williams said at one point during the journey he 'had been following otter along a river in the northern Pantanal when I looked up and saw the transfixed eyes of a Jaguar staring out from the shade. It's one of the few times that I've looked an animal in the eye knowing that I was the prey' He said: 'Mr Toto said that many of these boat drivers had no training in good practice and did not realise, or care about how their behaviour influenced the animals. 'Sadly it's a scene that's too common in natural parks around the world, but it's important to remember that without tourism many of these areas would be under threat. Everyone has the right to experience nature and wildlife, but the organisations and companies who manage this have a responsibility to ensure that the welfare of the wildlife is paramount.'

By . James Tozer . PUBLISHED: . 18:08 EST, 21 July 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 05:11 EST, 22 July 2013 . Not so super: Philip Clarke, CEO of Tesco, warns that the days of bargain buys are over . The era of cheap food is coming to an end, the boss of Tesco warned yesterday. Philip Clarke, chief executive of Britain’s biggest supermarket chain, said rising global demand meant the low prices could not continue for much longer. He spoke as a new poll indicated that consumers would be prepared to pay more for their groceries if they thought it would benefit British farmers. Tesco’s reputation was badly damaged by the horsemeat scandal at the start of the year and Mr Clarke has promised to rebuild customers’ trust. But it faced accusations of profiteering yesterday after raising the price of its basic bottled water by 40 per cent as the country sweltered in the heat. Food price inflation was 2.7 per cent last month, up from 2.4 per cent in May. Mr Clarke is the second supermarket boss, after Waitrose’s Mark Price, to back experts’ warnings that rock-bottom prices would eventually lead to quality being sacrificed. Last month a UN report predicted world food prices could rise by as much as 40 per cent over the next decade, driven by the demands of a growing middle class in China and India. ‘There was a time when we could go to South Africa to buy fruit and be the only retailer there,’ Mr Clarke said, adding: ‘Not any more.’ And he pledged to fulfil a promise to the National Farmers’ Union, made after January’s scandal, to give British producers a better deal. But he admitted the discovery of . horsemeat in beef products had damaged customer trust. ‘Tesco was big . and Tesco was bad,’ he said. Oh no, Tesco: The chief executive of Britain¿s biggest supermarket chain, said rising global demand meant the low prices could not continue for much longer . His comments came as a poll to mark National Countryside Week, which starts today, suggested a majority of British consumers would pay more for food if farmers benefited rather than supermarket shareholders. The poll, by YouGov for The Prince’s Countryside Fund, also indicated that more than 80 per cent of consumers think it is important to buy British. Donald Curry, a trustee of the fund, said: ‘The public are prepared support British farmers, even if that means paying more for food – provided extra money goes directly to the producer.’
No more bargain buys during your weekly show, supermarket boss warns . Due to rising global demand, food prices will rise, say Tesco's Philip Clarke .

A midwife who snuck off to get high on laughing gas while on duty helping to deliver babies has been suspended for 12 months. Susannah Wheeler secretly inhaled Entonox, while working at Tameside Hospital, Glossop, Derbyshire, and returned to her duties ‘staggering’ and ‘slurring her speech as though she was groggy,’ the Nursing and Midwifery Council was told. The council was told suspicions about her behaviour were first raised in August 2012, when she was assigned a new patient while on a night shift. Susannah Wheeler secretly inhaled Entonox, while working at Tameside Hospital, Glossop, Derbyshire, and returned to her duties 'staggering' and 'slurring her speech as though she was groggy', the Nursing and Midwifery Council was told . She could not be found on the antenatal ward and the whole maternity unit went searching for the missing midwife for up to an hour. Wheeler eventually returned groggy and told colleagues she ‘did not know where she had been', before claiming she had been in the toilets for the duration. She was later found in a maternity room with a tube in her mouth, sucking the gas, before she spread her arms and fell onto the bed. A colleague then got into a tussle with Wheeler as she refused to release the tube, before begging the colleague not to tell anybody about the incident. Wheeler went missing again a month later. A colleague phoned Wheeler to ask where she was and she replied that she did not know. Three empty bottles of the gas were later found in Wheeler’s car prompting an NMC investigation. NMC panel chairman David Newman said: ‘The panel considered that Mrs Wheeler’s actions in using Entonox gas and being unfit for duty on two occasions had placed patients at risk of harm. ‘Her actions were serious and rendered her incapable of carrying out her duties. The Nursing and Midwifery Council was told she was found in a maternity room with a tube in her mouth, sucking the gas, before she spread her arms and fell onto the bed. A colleague then got into a tussle with Wheeler as she refused to release the tube, before begging the colleague not to tell anybody about the incident . ‘It further considered that her actions potentially deprived patients of Entonox when it may have been required. ‘The panel concluded that Mrs Wheeler’s actions amounted to a significant departure from the standards to be expected of a registered midwife. ‘It determined that her actions constituted misconduct, in that they fell far short of the standards of conduct expected in the circumstances and those within the remit of the code.’ Mr Newman added: ‘The panel accepted that Mrs Wheeler had developed significant insight into her misconduct. ‘This, together with the genuine expression of regret and remorse, and the reflection she has shown, satisfied the panel that she had demonstrated a good understanding the impact her actions could have had on patients and the reputation of the profession. ‘The panel noted that Mrs Wheeler appeared to be an otherwise capable midwife and was provided with satisfactory references attesting to there being no other concerns regarding her practice. ‘Nevertheless, the panel acknowledges that Mrs Wheeler is currently unable to provide evidence that the circumstances leading to her misconduct have been fully remediated. ‘Mrs Wheeler’s own opinion is that her fitness to practise is currently impaired. ‘In light of all the information available, the panel decided that there was an ongoing need to protect the public. ‘Any immediate return to practice could place patients at risk of harm.’Wheeler, who has been employed at Tameside Hospital since 1999, admitted inhaling Entonox gas while on duty on two occasions. The nurse, who was not present or represented, was handed a 12-month suspension.
