By . Sara Malm . PUBLISHED: . 10:00 EST, 8 May 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 10:00 EST, 8 May 2013 . The Dalai Lama has reached out to monks in Myanmar and Sri Lanka, imploring them to end recent violence towards Muslims in their countries . The Buddhist spiritual leader blamed those of his own religion for recent violent attacks in south Asia, while giving a speech at the University of Maryland. Hundreds have died and more than 135,000 people have fled their homes in Myanmar, also known as Burma, in the past year's brutal assaults. Peaceful words: In his speech at the University of Maryland, the Dalai Lama implored Buddhist monks to stop the violent and deadly anti-Muslim violence in Sri Lanka and Myanmar . In Sri Lanka, Buddhist groups have recently attacked Muslim businesses. In his speech on Tuesday, the Dalai Lama condemned all killings in the name of religion and admitted that not even Buddhists were exempt from carrying out religious attacks. ‘Killing people in the name of religion is really very sad, unthinkable, very sad,’ the Nobel Peace laureate said. ‘Nowadays even Buddhists are involved, in Burma and Sri Lanka. Buddhist monks destroying Muslim mosques or Muslim families - it's really very sad.’ Dalai Lama begged Buddhists in Sri Lanka and Myanmar to look to their own religion to end the recent escalating violence against Muslims. Cultural exchange: Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, left, rubs noses with the Dalai Lama , before he gave his speech at the University of Maryland last night . 'When they develop some sort of negative emotions toward the Muslim community, then please think of the face of Buddha.’ 'If the Buddha is there, he will protect the Muslims, he said in the speech in front of 15,000 gathered at the University of Maryland. However, his calming words may be in vain as Buddhists in Myanmar and Sri Lanka are predominantly Theravada Buddhists, which is separate from the Dalai Lama's Tibetan school, which means they do not answer to his authority. Religious violence in Myanmar flared up a year ago when mobs of Buddhists armed with machetes razed thousands of Muslim homes in the western Rakhine state, leaving hundreds dead and forcing 125,000 people to flee. That violence has since spread into a campaign against the country's Muslim community in other regions. In March, at least 43 people were killed and 12,000 displaced in the central city of Meikhtila when Buddhist mobs rampaged through the town and police stood idly by. Most of the victims were Muslim. Last week, one person was killed and nine others injured when Buddhists stormed a township 50 miles north of the main city Yangon, ransacking mosques and burning villages to the ground. Sri Lanka, where 70 per cent identify themselves as Buddhists, compared to 9.7 per cent Muslim, is seeing a rise in attacks on Muslim-owned businesses and hate speeches in public places. Groups led by Buddhist monks accuse the small Muslim minority of dominating business on the island nation and secretly sterilising Buddhists.

Washington (CNN) -- It's the wildest dream of tea party extremists: the ultimate political comeuppance for the liberal President they love to hate. Since the day Barack Obama got elected to the White House, they have wanted to force him out. First, it was the birth certificate. Then, it was the bailouts. A succession of other allegedly impeachable issues followed: IRS targeting, the Benghazi terrorist attack, executive branch overreach. But it's not going to happen, even if Republicans take back the Senate and retain their House majority in the November congressional elections. Here's why: . No chance: The numbers just don't add up. Under the most optimistic election result for Republicans, they would be far short of the two-thirds Senate majority needed to convict Obama if the House passed articles of impeachment. Also, a CNN/ORC International Poll last week showed nearly that two in three respondents opposed impeaching the President. GOP leaders such as House Speaker John Boehner know all that, and so they're trying to tamp down the expectations of their conservative base. "We have no plans to impeach the President," Boehner said this week. "We have no future plans." GOP-led House authorizes lawsuit against Obama . House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, who may have presidential ambitions in 2016, also quashed the possibility, saying Wednesday that "this does not rise to the high crimes and misdemeanors level" of impeachment. 'Stop just hatin' all the time': Meanwhile, Obama and Democrats talk up the threat to raise money and inspire their supporters to turn out in November. "Don't boo. Vote," Obama told a Kansas City, Missouri, crowd that voiced its displeasure Wednesday over GOP tactics he criticized. The President cited the vote by House Republicans authorizing Boehner to sue him over executive actions, saying Congress should instead be passing legislation. "They're mad because I'm doing my job," Obama said of his Republican foes, urging them to "stop just hatin' all the time." Top House Democrat: 'You bet we're going to run' on impeachment . In debate before Wednesday night's vote, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi made sure to link the lawsuit proposal to possible impeachment down the road, calling it a first step to trying to oust the President next year. The issue resonates with Democratic supporters, according to Rep. Steve Israel of New York, who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The group has raised $7.6 million online since Boehner announced the lawsuit plan just over five weeks ago, he said. "You bet we're going to run on a Congress that is just obsessed with lawsuits, suing the President, talking about impeaching him instead of solutions for the middle class, talking about jobs and infrastructure," he said. 'Not how America works': It all makes for grand Washington theater in an election year but reflects deeper political undercurrents, particularly for a right wing already divided between diehard conservatives and more moderate Republicans. Brown University political scientist Wendy Schiller called impeachment a "farfetched" maneuver that could cause independent voters leaning Republican now to instead vote Democratic in November. "It reflects in the Republican Party the idea that if you lose an election, you can use every means possible to nullify the result," she said. "That's just not how America works." Jonathan Chait, a writer who predicted four years ago in a New Republic article that House Republicans would vote to impeach Obama before his presidency ended, said Wednesday that he now doubts that will happen. Missteps by Republicans, including primary defeats of viable candidates by conservative extremists and the government shutdown they forced last year, "really convinced the establishment that they couldn't indulge the base on all its flights of fancy," Chait said. GOP pivot: Now Boehner and others want to steer their base away from impeachment, he said, noting that they fear getting pushed into holding a vote that would be politically damaging. In dismissing an impeachment move, Boehner and Ryan sought to shift the blame for any discussion about it onto Democrats and the White House. Boehner called it a Democratic fundraising "scam," adding, "They're trying to rally their people to give money and to show up in this year's elections." Obama lambastes Republicans for 'hatin' all the time' Asked about the accusation, White House spokesman Josh Earnest offered a list of Republican legislators who have discussed impeaching Obama in recent months, including Reps. Steve King of Iowa, Ted Yoho of Florida and Steve Stockman and Blake Farenthold of Texas. The challenge to Boehner and other GOP leaders is to find a middle path between tea party demands to impeach Obama and less extreme options for action, such as the lawsuit. An impeachment effort after the November election would dominate Washington in the final two years of Obama's presidency, posing possible benefits and risks. It would divert attention from congressional dysfunction contributing to dismal approval ratings but also could cause the public to blame Republicans for exacerbating that dysfunction. "We've got a lot of tools at our disposal," Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma said, citing such steps as cutting funding for some parts of government disproportionate to the problems. "Nor do I think you ought to do things in a legislative sense to harass the President," said Cole, who is a Boehner ally. "We've got a disagreement between the two branches, and this is not uncommon. You go to court, and that's what we're seeking to do." Nixon: The impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon and his subsequent resignation still rankle many Republicans today, 40 years later. It was an event that made efforts to remove a sitting president part of routine political discussion in America. A GOP-led House voted to impeach President Bill Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction in 1998. The Senate acquitted him on both charges, with none of the minority Democrats voting to convict, and he stayed in office. Today, any Republican with presidential ambitions -- such as Ryan, perhaps -- wants to avoid making impeachment a reflex response to dissatisfaction with the White House, Schiller noted. "If you want to be president some day," she said, "the last thing you want is for Congress to be able willy-nilly to impeach you." CNN's Deirdre Walsh, Kevin Liptak and Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

tamp down the expectations of their conservative and Democrats talk up the threat to raise money "That's just not how America works." Jonathan
By . Daily Mail Reporter . The world's oldest egg - belonging to an extinct ostrich-like bird - is expected to raise a staggering £50,000 at auction. The rare item is over 500 years old and is just one of a handful of undamaged eggs left by the extinct elephant bird, once native to the island of Madagascar. At over a foot in length, it's larger than seven ostrich eggs and the equivalent in size to an astonishing 100 hens' eggs. The giant egg belongs to an extinct ostrich-like bird and should raise in the region of £50,000 at auction . Set to be auctioned at Summers Place Auctions in Billingshurst, West Sussex, it is thought to be the only one in the world up for private sale. Curator Errol Fuller, who has written several books on rare extinct birds, said: 'The egg of one of these birds is simply a miracle. 'It comes from Madagascar and these birds became extinct in around 1600, so it must be more than 500 years-old. 'There are probably only about 60 or 70 in existence in the world and almost all of them are owned by museums so to see one of for private sale is very rare. 'It is the largest egg ever known - bigger than any known dinosaur egg. Errol Fuller, pictured, said the egg which was laid in Madagascar is at least 500 years old . 'Engineers have calculated that structurally and functionally it is impossible for an egg to be any larger. 'Sometimes the eggs are found buried in the sand semi-fossilised but this one had been used as a water container as it is hollow and was handed down from generation to generation. 'It's much tougher than a chicken egg, but they can still get broken. Thankfully, this one is perfectly intact.' The egg will be part of the 'Evolution Sale' - a sale of specialist natural history artefacts on November 26. Also on sale will be a stuffed 100-year-old extinct passenger pigeon which is expected to sell for between £4,000 and £6,000. Other unusual taxidermy include a tiger's head in a case and a 'unicorn' created from a horse, a narwal tusk and a bear skeleton.
The egg is about one foot long and is the same size of 100 hens' eggs . The massive egg was laid in Madagascar more than 500 years ago . It is believed to be the largest ever egg, greater in size than a dinosaur's .

(CNN) -- Bode Miller may have ended up in tears, but he's not upset with the reporter who pushed him to that point. "I was really surprised. I mean, I felt like it was me, not her," he told CNN about NBC reporter Christin Cooper. After Miller won a bronze in the men's super-G alpine skiing race Sunday, Cooper asked him about his emotions and stuck with the questions after Miller teared up talking about his brother, Chelone, a snowboarder with his own Olympic aspirations who died last year at 29. Miller -- who ended up unable to speak, doubled over and crying -- says he doesn't blame her for asking the questions. "She asked questions that I feel like with her knowledge of my brother and the situation, I felt like were pretty normal questions," Miller said. "I've known Christin for a long time, and I think she's really comfortable with me, and I felt terrible that she was getting just massacred in the press and in social media." Miller's brother was in a motorcycle accident in 2006. He suffered several seizures after that but still dreamed of competing in the Olympics. "That was part of the reason why I was staying with it, and coming back to continue to race, so we would be here together and, you know, hopefully win together," Miller said. Winning was an incredible way to honor his brother, he said, which made Sunday great and painful. "In the end, people will sort of see that it was more me just dealing with all these emotions and the build-up of several years of very tough personal life stuff," Miller said. Jansrud triumphs in super-G as Miller gets historic bronze . CNN's Steve Almasy and Dana Ford contributed to this report.

As a young comedian playing the working men's clubs in the 70s, I'd been in awe of Dustin Gee. One night at a club in Hull I saw a poster saying, 'For one night only… Dustin Gee!' He hadn't done much TV, but he was a big draw on the club circuit. In the early 80s I landed a job on Russ Abbott's Madhouse. Dustin was already working on the show and I'll never forget him walking through the door, all 6ft of him, announcing, 'I come bearing gifts!' even if it was only a bottle of warm Blue Nun wine to welcome me. My then manager, who also looked after Dustin, suggested I move into his flat in London and help with the rent. We became as close as brothers, and . after we formed a double act I was catapulted to fame. Sharing a flat . with Dustin - famous for his Basil Fawlty impression - was a scream. We worked well together too, and a BBC big cheese said he'd like to give us a show of our own, The Laughter Show. I . learnt a huge amount from Dustin, who was about ten years older than . me. His attention to detail when it came to doing impressions was . extraordinary -  I remember watching him putting a wig on a block and . dressing it to look like Rod Stewart's hair - and I've still got all his . props in my loft at home. A comic duo: Les Dennis and Dustin Gee in 1985 . Then he was diagnosed with the heart muscle disease cardiomyopathy in 1985. We were topping the bill at the North Pier in Blackpool and we got to the interval when Dustin said, 'I don't feel well.' A . doctor examined him and found he'd had a mild heart attack. But he . insisted on finishing the show, then he was whisked to hospital. Les Dennis (right) and Dustin Gee (left) appearing in their television programme Laughter Show . Les and Dustin lived together in a flat in London where Les said they became 'as close as brothers' We carried on working together once he'd . recovered and were in panto in Southport when he had a massive heart . attack on New Year's Day 1986. He spent a couple of days in a coma then . died, aged 43. I was devastated by Dustin's loss, and love to think we would have carried on working together. But however things had panned out had he lived, I know that we would have remained mates, because we always made each other laugh. As told to York Membery . Les appears in The Perfect Murder, currently touring the UK. For tickets visit www.theperfectmurder.co.uk.

Miami (CNN) -- University of Florida researchers examining the carcass of a large, pregnant Burmese python said Monday they found a record 87 eggs inside, giving them important clues about the reproductive capability of the dangerous, invasive species. Scientists at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the university's campus examined the 164.5-pound, 17.5-foot snake Friday after it was brought there from the Everglades National Park. It is the largest one ever found at the park. "This thing is monstrous -- it's about a foot wide," said Kenneth Krysko, the manager of the museum's herpetology collection. "It means there's nothing stopping them and the native wildlife are in trouble." Pythons wiping out mammals in Everglades, researchers say . Everglades National Park and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are working with other agencies on the problem of the Burmese python, a non-native but established species in Florida that is one of the deadliest and most competitive predators in the southern part of the state, according to the university. The snakes have no known predator, and population estimates range from the thousands to hundreds of thousands. Previous records for Burmese pythons captured in the wild were 16.8 feet long and 85 eggs. Scientists say research of the snake's biology is important in understanding how to stop the python's spread -- not just in the Everglades, but also in the state and around the world. "I think one of the important facts about this animal is its reproductive capability," said park wildlife biologist Skip Snow. "There are not many records of how many eggs a large female snake carries in the wild. This shows they're a really reproductive animal, which aids in their invasiveness." 16-foot python devours deer in Florida . The snake was so big that researchers had to pile it on top of itself and wheel it into the examination room on a flat cart. They laid it on a series of tables lined up end to end, and then five researchers worked side by side to dissect the length of the snake. The Burmese python is native to Southeast Asia and was first found in the Everglades in 1979, the university says. They were determined to be an established species in 2000. "They were here 25 years ago, but in very low numbers and it was difficult to find one because of their cryptic behavior," Krysko said. "Now, you can go out to the Everglades nearly any day of the week and find a Burmese python. We've found 14 in a single day." There are state laws now that prohibit people from owning Burmese pythons as pets or taking them across state lines without a federal permit. Floridians can also hunt them during certain seasons if they have the proper license and permits. Florida has the world's worst problem with invasive reptiles and amphibians, the university said. In a study published last year in the journal Zootaxa, Krysko found 137 non-native species were introduced to Florida between 1863 and 2010, with pet trade determined to be the No. 1 cause.

‘Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to work we go…Arrrrghhhh!’ That’s definitely not in the script of Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs but it’s something that visitors to Disney World in Orlando are going to be hearing a lot of. For, after a lengthy hiatus, Magic Kingdom finally has a new roller coaster, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and MailOnline was one of the first to try it out. A runaway train ride, the steep drops and sharp bends are as terrifying as the Wicked Queen but considerably more fun, while inside, the walls are studded with more than a million ‘diamonds’ as well as a tableaux featuring Sleepy, Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Sneezy, Happy and Dopey. Totally terrifying: Disney's Seven Dwarves Mine Train was so much fun, Travelmail had four goes . While the Mine Train is the big new attraction, Disney has been busy behind the scenes at its Florida resort and as a result, there’s plenty to be found in Florida that you won’t unearth in LA or Paris, including an extended Hollywood Studios theme park. Home to the Tower of Terror and the Aerosmith Rock n’ Roller Coaster, it might, on the face of it, be for children but that doesn’t mean the grown-ups can’t get involved. 100ft drops (the Tower of Terror), being shot forward at 90mph to the sound of Dude Looks Like A Lady (Rock n’ Rollercoaster) or shooting chipmunks in a mobile shooting gallery (Toy Story), there’s plenty to enjoy. Indeed, I loved the Rock n’Roller Coaster so much, I went on twice. But the resort isn’t all terrifying twists and hairpin bends. For those in search of something gentler, Magic Kingdom’s stable of child-friendly rides - the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train notwithstanding - makes it perfect for tiny tots. Hairpin bends: A ride on the Mine Train includes plenty of sharp bends and a seriously steep drop . Magical: Inside, the 'mine' has been kitted out with 'diamonds' and enthralling animated dwarves . Still around: The parade might have changed a little but classic characters such as Mickey and Donald remain . Enchanting: Fantasy Land, which includes the Cinderella Castle, boasts several new rides . Along with the pretty Main Street and the iconic Cinderella Castle, the newly revamped Fantasy Land is a small girl’s dream come true. Once you’ve finished getting your kicks on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (I managed a record four goes on this one), there’s a series of gentle new rides to enjoy, among them Under the Sea: The Journey of the Little Mermaid, which conveys you through Ariel’s watery kingdom in pink plastic clamshells with a glimpse of Ursula the only scary part. Then there’s the Winnie the Pooh ride which, if nothing else, should get younger readers clamouring for a copy of the AA Milne classic, and a traditional carousel complete with beautifully decorated prancing horses. Away from Fantasy Land, the Pirates of the Caribbean experience has also had a revamp (more Johnny Depp, much more!), while back on Main Street, Disney has launched a new parade to coincide with the unveiling of the new look Fantasy Land. Called the Festival of Fantasy Parade, it includes all of the old favourites – Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald among them – as well as some eye-openingly clever new additions. I loved the 53ft long fire-breathing steampunk dragon that glared balefully at the children in the crowd as it sailed past, as well as Princess Merida of Brave fame’s vast set of mobile bagpipes. But while the new parade, Fantasy Land and the Seven Dwarves Mine Train have been gobbling up most of the headlines, I found myself enjoying some of the quieter spots such as the beautiful Boardwalk area and Animal Kingdom far more. The latter is the largest and least well-known of the four theme parks that make up Disney World, which, incidentally, covers an area larger than Greater Manchester. Here you’ll find the Kilimanjaro Safari, an experience that’s billed as seeing the animals as they really live but in reality is just as Disneyfied as everything else, and a petting area where you can get your hands on everything from ponies to chickens. Top attraction: Animal Kingdom's Expedition Everest rollercoaster is one of the best in the entire resort . Disneyfied: The Mount Kilimanjaro 'safari' experience is fun but can't hold a candle to the real deal . Much more exciting are the Kali River Rapids, a souped-up log flume that sends you spinning beneath waterfalls and zig-zagging through a series of rapids, and my favourite, Expedition Everest. With several seriously steep drops and a gorgeous view of the park from the top, as well as a stomach-churning section where you shoot backwards, Expedition Everest is as good as anything offered by Magic Kingdom. Indeed, so brilliant is Expedition Everest, I managed a record five goes. Fun though Expedition Everest is, it’s the Mine Train that’s likely to end up with the longest queues – much to the irritation of those who can’t bear waiting in line. Lucky then, that Disney has also launched a convenient new gadget called MyMagic Plus, a new wristband system that lets you book fast passes in advance and go shopping without having to carry a credit card around. Usefully for those of a more forgetful bent, it also contains your park tickets. I used mine for multiple goes on just about everything and spent approximately five minutes queuing at the Haunted Hotel – the attraction that, for some reason, had the biggest lines on the day I went. With no lines to worry about, it left me with much more time for whizzing about on the Mine Train and Big Thunder Mountain - an old favourite that I couldn’t resist revisiting for a second (and third) goes.

Hours after President Barack Obama said the fatal shooting of an unarmed African-American teen in Florida requires national "soul searching," a lawyer for the man at the center of an investigation said the shooting had nothing to do with race. "I asked him, 'Are you a racist? Do you have anything against black people?' and he said 'No'," George Zimmerman's legal adviser Craig Sonner told CNN. Sonner said Zimmerman and his wife served as mentors to two teenage children of an African-American woman. Though funding was cut for the program, the couple continued their efforts on their own, taking the 13-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy on outings to a mall, a science center and a basketball game. They also helped in a fundraiser for an African-American church, the lawyer said. "I do not believe that's the indication of a person who's a racist," Sonner said. "I don't see anything that indicates to me that he's a racist." Trayvon Martin, 17, died February 26. Police say he was shot by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Florida, who said he was acting in self-defense. Martin was unarmed, carrying a bag of Skittles candy and an iced tea, according to police. Although a grand jury is scheduled to convene April 10 to look into the case, authorities have declined to arrest Zimmerman, sparking a national debate over Florida's "stand your ground" deadly force law amid concerns about racial profiling. The family of Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, said he has been wrongly described as a racist. Obama spoke out publicly Friday for the first time on the matter. "When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids," Obama told reporters in response to a question. "And I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this and that everybody pulls together -- federal, state and local -- to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened." Obama praised Florida Gov. Rick Scott's decision to create a task force to review the "stand your ground" law and said that it would be important to "examine the laws and the context for what happened as well as the specifics of the incident." "But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon," Obama said. "I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves and we will get to the bottom of exactly what happened," he said. And he obliquely addressed the racial component of the case, saying it struck home for him because, "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." The teenager's parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, said in a statement that it was "humbling" that Obama had talked about their son. "The president's personal comments touch us deeply and made us wonder: If his son looked like Trayvon and wore a hoodie, would he be suspicious, too?" Martin was wearing a hooded sweatshirt the day he was killed. The case unfolded when Zimmerman, who was patrolling his gated community, saw Martin walking in the neighborhood. Zimmerman called 911 and reported what he described as a suspicious person. Moments later, several neighbors called the emergency number to report a commotion outside. Police arrived to find Martin dead of a gunshot wound. Authorities say they have not charged Zimmerman because they have no evidence to contradict his story that he shot in self-defense. Sonner told CNN that Zimmerman was injured on the night of the killing. "I believe that his nose was broken; he sustained injury to his nose and on the back of his head he sustained a cut that was serious enough it probably should have had stitches," Sonner said. But by the time Zimmerman reached a doctor, "there was an option not to stitch it up because it had already started healing, is my understanding," said the lawyer, who has talked with his client only by telephone. Sonner said the injures "were from Trayvon Martin, I assume." The lawyer said he and Zimmerman had not discussed what happened the night Martin was shot, though he said that Zimmerman has talked with authorities -- unaccompanied by counsel -- whenever they have asked him to do so. Sonner said he has advised his client to keep a low profile. "I believe his life is in danger," said Sonner. "This case is spinning out of control," he said. "I hope there's a way to rein things in so it doesn't become an issue of a racial battle. I hope that things come back so that there can be a time for justice and for healing and not for just skipping the whole judicial process and going straight to sentencing." Police have taken the gun used in the shooting and are holding it as evidence, he said. "Whatever transpired that night, it's unfortunate that there's a young man in the prime of his life that was left dead," Sonner added. Opinion: What every black mother fears . Neighbors call watch leader caring, polite . Case sparks dialogue on racial inequality . Heated debate has erupted over whether Zimmerman used a racial slur during the 911 call, which was released this week. Did shooter use a racial slur? A top CNN audio engineer enhanced the sound of the 911 call, and several members of CNN's editorial staff repeatedly reviewed the tape but could reach no consensus. The case has prompted a Justice Department investigation, which is in the fact-finding stage. Whether Zimmerman used such language before shooting Martin is key, according to CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin. "It's extremely, extremely significant, because the federal government is not allowed to prosecute just your ordinary, everyday murder," he said. "Two people fighting on the street is not a federal crime. However, if one person shoots another based on racial hostility, racial animus, that does become a federal crime." Photos: Million Hoodie March . A special prosecutor appointed by Gov. Scott, Angela Corey, said Friday that her office can charge Zimmerman, clear him or send the case to the grand jury. Rallies and protests also continued Friday. Congressional staffers rallied in an event dubbed "Hoodies on the Hill" organized by several staff organizations, while students walked out of classes at six Miami-area high schools to protest police handling of the case and demand changes in Florida's law. At Southridge High School in Southridge, students lined up on the football field to form the initials, "T.M." Miami-Dade County Public Schools issued a statement saying Martin's mother asked students to focus instead on signing petitions, attending rallies and praying. "Our most important mission is to provide a safe learning environment for students, and so we are asking them to respect the wishes of Trayvon's mother by celebrating his memory not through walkouts, but through reflection and civic participation," Superintendent Alberto Caralho said. Students walk out in protest over shooting death . Demonstrations were planned over the weekend in South Carolina and Virginia and Monday in Sanford and Atlanta. Shooting renews debate over 'stand your ground' laws . Amid the protests and calls for reform, some Florida lawmakers said it was time to revisit the 2005 "stand your ground" law, which eliminated a long-standing provision requiring people facing danger outside of their homes to first attempt to retreat before meeting a threat with force. Toobin: Does Florida law let killers go free? Since the law's adoption, the number of justifiable homicide rulings in Florida has nearly tripled, according to the state Department of Law Enforcement. "We foretold that this would happen while we debated this law and a lot of us voted against it," Florida state Rep. Christopher Smith told CNN on Friday. "They turned a blind eye to it. But now that America's looking at Florida, now people are starting to react and starting to really recognize what we were saying back in 2005 in the Florida House." But a co-sponsor of the law, Sen. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, said the law was not at fault. He credited the statute for a "serious decrease" in violent crime. Baxley said it is up to the grand jury to decide whether any laws were broken, but left no doubt where he stands. "Quite frankly, anyone who steps out in a pursuit in a confrontational mode with a firearm? That's not a self-protection act. You've initiated something." He said one good outcome of the killing may be clarification over how the law ought to be applied. "Maybe we do need some direction," he said. "Maybe we need to give direction to Crime Watch." Police chief steps aside 'temporarily' The incident has damaged relations between the Sanford Police Department and the city's African-American residents, City Manager Norton Bonaparte said Friday. "We have to start from ground zero," he said. The depths to which community relations had sunk was underscored by the arrest Friday of a 68-year-old Melbourne Beach white man for allegedly threatening to harm Bill Lee, who stepped down "temporarily" on Thursday as Sanford's police chief. "You and your family deserve to be hunted down and shot like a dog, just like Trayvon Martin," says the e-mail that led to the arrest. "Your entire police department is nothing more than a collection of incompetent, bigoted, unprofessional a**holes."

(CNN) -- World Wrestling Entertainment announcer Jerry "The King" Lawler was in stable condition after suffering a heart attack, WWE said. As of Tuesday morning, Lawler was in a cardiac care unit and his vital signs were stable, WWE said in a written statement. Lawler, a larger-than-life figure even within the flamboyant world of professional wrestling, suffered a heart attack and collapsed during a show Monday night, the show's producers announced. Lawler, 62, was given CPR in the locker room of the arena in Montreal before being taken to a hospital, co-host Michael Cole told viewers during a break in the televised program. Lawler was in the emergency room and breathing on his own, but "this is an extremely serious situation. This is not part of tonight's entertainment," he said. "This is a real-life situation." Cole said the star was responding to tests and would be given a CT scan at the hospital, adding, "Jerry, my friend, my prayers are with you." "I'm shaken by the news of my friend Jerry Lawler's medical emergency in Montreal. Hands shaking. Prayers for the King. I feel helpless," WWE announcer Jim Ross said on Twitter. Lawler made his name in wrestling in the 1970s, but he became famous beyond the wrestling world for a 1982 bout with comedian Andy Kaufman. The Great Ruse: Andy Kaufman, the comedic genius who rocked wrestling . Kaufman, who had begun wrestling women during his nightclub act, accepted a challenge from Lawler, who accused him of demeaning the sport. Kaufman trash-talked both the wrestler and the crowd in Memphis, Tennessee, before the match, and the 6-foot, 243-pound Lawler trounced the skinny comedian, who was hauled away in a stretcher. A few weeks later, the pair appeared on "Late Night with David Letterman" and got into an argument that ended with Lawler slapping Kaufman, followed by Kaufman delivering a profanity-laced tirade and being chased off the set. The wrestler gave as good as he got in trash-talking the comedian, letting loose with: "Andy Kaufman's mom wanted a girl, his father wanted a boy, and they were both satisfied!" Lawler lists the slapping of Kaufman on the Letterman show as the highlight of his career. But like much of Kaufman's shtick, the feud was an elaborate put-on. "They'd be at the coliseum, supposedly trying to kill each other, and then I'd get off the 10 o'clock newscast and walk into the newsroom, and Jerry and Andy would be sitting in an edit booth discussing what had happened and where to go from there," veteran Memphis wrestling announcer Dave Brown told CNN earlier this year. Lawler was inducted into the Connecticut-based WWE's Hall of Fame in 2007 and played himself in the 1999 Kaufman biopic "Man on the Moon." A native of Memphis, with bright blue eyes and a baby face into his 60s, Lawler describes himself as loved in his hometown but hated in his wrestling federation, "where his arrogant, egotistical attitude got him into feuds with former WWF champ Bret Hart and federation head Vince McMahon." The WWF is the former name of the WWE. He started wrestling in 1970 in Memphis, where he won multiple regional championships and the Mid-South Wrestling circuit. He career had gone national by the mid-1970s, and he continued to wrestle for decades. In recent years, he has been known better as a commentator. "We are hopeful Jerry makes a full recovery and returns to WWE in the near future. Our thoughts are with Jerry and his family," the WWE said on its website.

Producers of a long-running stage musical have axed its Cliff Richard tribute segment in the wake of sex abuse allegations against the star. The impersonator who portrays Sir Cliff, Trevor Payne, 68, who is also the show's director, has found himself out of a job because producers fear the star's fanatical fans would 'lynch' any audience member who complained about the section if it remained in the show. The popular rock n' roll show That'll Be The Day has featured a tribute act to Sir Cliff since it began its first run 29 years ago. Scroll down for video . Trevor Payne (pictured) a Cliff Richard impersonator, has been axed from a musical following historical sex abuse allegations against the star came to light last month . Last month Sir Cliff Richard furiously denied sexually assaulting a schoolboy at a Christian rally. His denial came as police raided his home over the allegation dating back almost three decades. The star said 'completely false' claims had been circulating on the internet for months but he had chosen not to 'dignify' them with a response. Detectives swooped on the singer's £3.1million apartment in Berkshire on August 13, spending five hours searching for evidence after receiving a report that a teenager under the age of 16 was attacked in Sheffield at an event held by American evangelist Billy Graham in 1985. Sir Cliff Richard (pictured left) and impersonator Trevor Payne (pictured right) performing on stage . Now, producers of the musical have decided to remove the six minute segment in the wake of the historical sex abuse allegations. They say they are worried that if they kept it in and a member of the audience publicly complained, Sir Cliff's fanatical followers would round on them and cause a public order outbreak. As a result Mr Payne has been 'inundated' with complaints from Cliff fans and was even accosted at the stage door of the Eastbourne Congress Theatre by an 'indignant' secretary of one Cliff Richard fan club. Trevor Payne (pictured right) performing as Sir Cliff with an Elvis impersonator as part of the musical . Mr Payne, 68, said he is 'very saddened' that the popular section has been axed. Sir Cliff (pictured) met officers from South Yorkshire Police last month but was not arrested or charged . He said: 'Cliff's fans are vehemently addicted and defensive of him and have been for many many years. 'We, like everyone else, were shocked when the allegations came to light and we hope that he is cleared of them. 'But we took the view that if I did venture on stage as Sir Cliff and just one member of the audience booed or made a remark then it wouldn't be a situation we could contain. 'We do get a lot of Cliff Richard fans attend our shows and they would probably turn on the person and we could have a terrible situation inside the theatre that would ruin the night. 'Put it this way, I asked one passionate Cliff fan how she would react if it happened and she replied "I'd have their guts for garters". 'We also took the view that because Sir Cliff himself has cancelled all his public engagements until further notice we would follow suit. 'We aren't judging him or condemning him. We all hope he is innocent. 'I have received lots of emails of complaint from our fans. One person sent me an email saying they had booked to see the show in Stevenege in October but they would not be coming since we took Cliff out of it. 'One lady, the secretary of a Cliff fan club, came to see me at the stage door in Eastbourne and was most indignant about it.' Mr Payne appeared as Cliff Richard in the music video for comedian Peter Kay's famous version of Amarillo in 2005 and his Channel 4 comedy show Max and Paddy's Road to Nowehere. "When the news broke we decided to remove the section. 'It is very sad. I am a big fan of Cliff Richard and have met him and he is a charming man.' Sir Cliff reacted with fury after learning that police searched his apartment in Sunningdale - while the BBC filmed live - when he had no prior notice. He was on holiday in Portugal at the time and returned to the UK ahead of his meeting with police. On August 23 the veteran star voluntarily met officers from South Yorkshire Police but was not arrested or charged, said his spokesman. Detectives swooped on the singer's apartment in Berkshire on August 13 searching for evidence following sex abuse allegations against the veteran star . Police searched Sir Cliff's home for more than five hours following the allegations . The police raid was broadcast live by the BBC, prompting it to receive 762 complaints over its coverage .

(CNN)Everyone knows who Chris Kyle was -- the "American Sniper." That may make work challenging for a small Texas county tasked with giving his accused killer, Eddie Ray Routh, a fair trial. Jury selection is set for Thursday, and an Erath County court will begin sifting through 800 hundred potential jurors, the Stephenville Empire-Tribune reported. An attorney for Routh wants the trial's venue moved, saying a fair trial is impossible there. With a population of just under 40,000 people, the defense says it might be hard to find even a handful who: . Kyle, who claimed to be the deadliest sniper in U.S. history for his 160 confirmed kills in Iraq, had already risen to fame for his bestselling autobiography, "American Sniper," when he died on February 2, 2013. Kyle had taken Routh and another man to a firing range. Routh, an unemployed former Marine, was one of them. He suffered from severe PTSD. Kyle was doing charitable work to help former soldiers suffering from the psychological disorder. The other man with them was Chad Littlefield, who was Kyle's friend. It was a Saturday, and the three men arrived at the Rough Creek Lodge, about 90 miles southwest of Dallas after 3 p.m. The range makes up a small, remote part of the sprawling 11,000-acre resort, and the men were isolated. "So, there wasn't anybody anywhere close to that," Sheriff Tommy Bryant said back then. There were no witnesses to the killing of Kyle and Littlefield. Less than two hours after they had arrived, a hunting guide passing by found the two victims motionless, went to the lodge and called 911. Kyle and Littlefield were dead when officers arrived. Routh was gone, and so was Kyle's black Ford pickup. Law enforcement put out an all-points bulletin. Routh drove up in it at his sister's house 65 miles away, police said. She called 911. "I'm terrified for my life," she said. Routh had told her that he killed two men. "They went out to a shooting range. Like, he's all crazy," Routh's sister told authorities. "My husband is going to talk to you, because I'm so nervous." Routh got back into the truck and hit the road again, police said. But he was easy to find. Officers caught up with him that evening at his home in a Dallas suburb. While talking with police, he jumped back into the truck and sped off again, police say. They gave chase and stopped him after spiking his tires. He did not struggle when they arrested him, police said. Routh's attorney has said his client will plead not guilty by reason of insanity. Kyle learned to shoot on hunting trips with his father, then went on to serve four combat tours in Iraq with the SEALs, though his official biography notes he also worked with Army and Marine units. He received two Silver Stars and other commendations before leaving the Navy in 2009 -- claiming that, in his years as a sniper, he'd killed more than 150 people, which he called a record for an American. He said that while killing did not come easy at first, he knew it meant saving lives. "The first time, you're not even sure you can do it," he said in the interview. "But I'm not over there looking at these people as people. I'm not wondering if he has a family. I'm just trying to keep my guys safe." Kyle's story and the movie made from it have triggered broad enthusiasm but also drawn critics and doubts about his accounts. A sniper's view: 'When you are bred to kill, you know' Correction: Earlier versions of this report incorrectly described the military background of Chad Littlefield, who was killed with Chris Kyle. Littlefield was not a veteran. CNN's Greg Botelho contributed to this report.

A drunk father who drove his young children to nursery after drinking three litres of wine crashed into several parked cars, a court has heard. Ian Lee Wilson drove the children, aged five, two and one, to nursery despite being more than five times over the legal alcohol limit. The 40-year-old admitted drink-driving and dangerous driving at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates Court in County Durham yesterday after committing the offence the day before. Ian Lee Wilson admitted drink-driving and dangerous driving at Newton Aycliffe Magistrates Court yesterday . Claire Brinton, prosecuting, said Wilson, from Darlington, had dropped the children off at around 9am and returned to his black Vauxhall Meriva vehicle in Haughton Road in the town. She added: 'He then collided with a number of vehicles. 'When attempting to leave the scene he almost knocked down one of the drivers who had got out to inspect the damage. 'He missed the man by inches.' Ms Brinton described how Wilson went on to crash into a taxi with considerable force. 'The taxi driver made the decision to follow the defendant, flashing her headlights and blasting her horn to make him stop,' she said. Wilson picked his car up in Haughton Road, Darlington, (pictured) before colliding with several cars after dropping his children off at nursery . 'He went straight into the back of a black car.' The court heard how the taxi driver got out her car and confronted Wilson, who tried to prevent her from opening the door. 'A tug of war situation occurs, but the taxi driver manages to open the door and snatch the keys from the ignition,' said Ms Brinton. 'She described being hit by a strong smell of alcohol.' Wilson, who had been drinking the previous night, was arrested and tested positive for alcohol. The lowest reading revealed 188 microgrammes (mg) of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, more than five times the legal limit of 35 mg. In interview, Wilson, who received an 18-month disqualification in 2007 for drink-driving, said he had been an 'idiot' and admitted he had exposed his children to danger. Nick Woodward, mitigating, said Wilson was suffering from depression and had turned to alcohol when he lost his job. He urged magistrates not to send the case to crown court, emphasising how Wilson had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity. However, chairman Nigel Scott, said the bench's sentencing powers were not sufficient for so serious a matter and committed the case to Durham Crown Court on April 24 for sentence. Wilson was given unconditional bail.

For years she has been subjected to cruel taunts about her appearance which she admits have caused ‘lots of tears’. Now Olympic gold medal winner Rebecca Adlington appears to have resorted to cosmetic surgery to reduce the size of her nose and remove a bump. The retired swimmer is reported to have undergone the procedure at a Harley Street clinic several weeks ago. Before and after: Miss Adlington in 2011 (left), while her nose appears straighter in this recent image (right) The Olympian - whose struggles with body image have been well documented - looked gorgeous and confident while out doing some chores . In earlier interviews, the swimmer told the Mail she looks in the mirror and thinks 'God, I'm not pretty, I've got a very big nose' It comes after she broke down during last year’s appearance on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, admitting that she felt conscious of her body when she compared herself to fellow contestant and beauty queen, Amy Willerton. Afterwards she told the Mail about her long running insecurities about her looks - and the hurt caused by the hateful comments about them. She said: ‘Every day I look in the mirror and go, “God, I’m not pretty, I’ve got a very big nose. That’s what most of the negative comments on Twitter are about - my nose. ‘People say, “Oh God you look like a dolphin,” or “I didn’t realise they let whales into the Olympics, but at least you should be able to swim faster with a nose like that.’ She added then that she would consider cosmetic surgery, explaining: ‘I couldn’t even float the idea of having a nose job before, because with swimming you only get two weeks a year off.

I’d probably have it straightened, but it’s got to suit your face.’ Adlington became a national heroine and inspiration to millions of youngsters overnight when she won her first of two gold medals at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, aged just 19. At the time, the down to earth teenager lived off just £12,000 a year, relied on her parents to pay for her swimming hats, goggles and costumes and drove to training from her then home in Mansfield in a battered Vauxhall Corsa. But the vile abuse began soon afterwards, with comedian Frankie Boyle causing outrage on BBC2’s Mock The Week when he described her as looking like someone who’s ‘looking at themselves in the back of a spoon.’ The BBC Trust called his comments ‘offensive’ and ‘humiliating’ but he mocked her appearance again before the London 2012 Olympics when he tweeted she would have an ‘unfair advantage in the swimming by possessing a dolphin’s face.’ Body conscious: Miss Adlington broke down during last year's appearance on ITV's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, admitting that she felt conscious of her body when she compared herself to Amy Willerton .

In her interview with the Mail in December, Adlington explained she always had a ‘bit of insecurity’ about the way she looked. She explained: ‘I knew I wasn’t the most attractive girl at school. ‘Even when I’ve been on a night out, no boys would want to talk to me.

South Korea has fired shells into North Korean waters after their rivals sent more than 100 rounds below the disputed sea boundary during a live-fire drill. The heated artillery exchange was . prompted by an unusual warning fax sent from the North to the South, . informing them of their live-fire drill. Though . it is not unusual for the reclusive nation to practice at sea, South . Korean officials were alarmed by the alert, which they claim 'indicates . their hostile intention'. It comes just days after Kim Jong Un's reclusive nation threatened to launch a 'new form' of nuclear power tests - and coincidentally during the annual South Korea-US military practice, which North Korea dubs a rehearsal for invasion. Scroll down for video . Dispute: The South Korean military shot shells into North Korean waters during a drill after their rivals fired across the sea boundary during their own practice . Residents on the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong, metres south of the border, were told to seek shelter during the drill. There were no reports of injuries . The heated exchange took place during the US Marines' annual military training with South Korea, which the North brands rehearsal for invasion . According to South Korean military officials, the North fired more than 500 rounds during a three-hour drill - 100 of which crossed the border. The South fired back 300 rounds from its K-9 self-propelled howitzer batteries, and scrambled F-15 jets. Residents on the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong, located in the battle-stricken Yellow Sea, were evacuated to shelters during the exchange. The Northern Limit Line, a maritime border that wraps itself round a part of the North's coastline, has been the scene of frequent clashes. In 2010, two civilians and two marines on the island were killed by North Korean military during a border dispute. The North claimed it was provoked by South Korean military exercises. Earlier that year, 46 people died off the coast of nearby Baengnyeong island after a warship sank. South Korea claims it was gunned down by the North, which their rival neighbour denies. 'The fact that they have sent such a message to us indicates their hostile intention.' said Wi Yong-Seop, a spokesman for the South Korean Defence Ministry. 'The aim is to threaten us and rack up tension on the Yellow Sea border and the overall Korean Peninsula,' he said. South Korean military (pictured) was alarmed by an early-morning fax from the North warning them to control their vessels in the region as they would be 'training'. Though live-fire training is not uncommon, it is unusual for the rivals to warn one another. The South said it showed hostile intentions . Training: Amphibious assault vehicles of the South Korean Marine Corps were throwing smoke bombs in a drill with the US where they practised moving from sea to shore. But during the morning, more than 100 shells from the North crossed the border. The South responded by shooting back 300 rounds . The North calls the South Korea-US drills a rehearsal for invasion despite the allies claiming they are routine and defensive . Disputed border: Yeonpyeong Island has been subjected to numerous bloody naval skirmishes over the years as North and South Koreans train near the border . The message, faxed to South Korea's . Second Fleet headquarters at 8am local time, warned officials to control . their vessels in the tensely-guarded western sea as they would be . conducting live-fire drills later in the day, officials said. It stated that all action would be north of the Northern Limit Line (NLL), but did not specify what time it would take place. Seoul officials claim the move is an . expression of Pyongyang's frustration at failing to win outside aid in . recent weeks despite numerous attempts. And . since the UN published a report early this month accusing Kim Jong-Un . of war crimes akin to Nazi Germany, the reclusive nation has increased . threatening rhetoric and conducted a series of rocket and ballistic . missile launches. This weekend, tensions rapidly intensified. On Saturday, North Korea also accused the South of 'gangster-like' behaviour by 'abducting' one of its fishing boats and threatened to retaliate. The South said it had sent the boat back after it drifted into its waters. Hours later, Pyongyang threatened to . conduct a fourth nuclear test at some point. After the North's warning fax early this morning, South Korea responded that it would react strongly if provoked. North Korea blasted the response, with one military official Yun Jong Bum telling the North's official news agency: 'The boneheads appear to have completely forgotten the fact that Yeonpyeong island was smashed by our military's bolt of lightning a few years ago.' There were no specific targets during this morning's exchange, and no . shells from either side were fired at any land or military . installations, claimed an official with South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Northern Limit Line was drawn up at the end of the . 1950-53 Korean War - and North Korea does not recognise it. Five South Korean border islands were evacuated as the Yellow Sea became engulfed by smoke during the drills at noon local time . Last time the US trained with South Korea, the North sent near-daily threats, including warnings of nuclear strikes against Seoul and Washington . The Northern Limit Line was drawn up at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War - and North Korea does not recognise it . The two sides . are still technically at war as the conflict ended in a mere truce, not a . treaty. 'It's up to the two . militaries either to recognise or reject their own claimed line, and . challenge the other's - this goes back and forth, so this is probably . another episode of that,' said Daniel Pinkston of the International . Crisis Group. Earlier in . 2010, a South Korean naval vessel was sunk close to the line by what an . international commission said was a North Korean torpedo, although the . North denies involvement. Today, Kang . Myeong-sung, a resident speaking from a shelter on Yeonpyeong island, which is in . sight of North Korean territory, said that anxious islanders were . huddled together in shelters. Kang said he didn't see any fighter jets, . but he could hear the boom of artillery fire. It . is not the first time conflict has broken out during the South Korea-US . military drills, which the North calls a rehearsal for invasion. The . allies say they're routine and defensive. Last spring, tension spiked after a . near-daily barrage of North Korean threats, including warnings of . nuclear strikes against Seoul and Washington, following international . criticism of Pyongyang's third nuclear test in February of that year. Pyongyang routinely test-fires artillery and missiles into the ocean, but it's rare for the country to disclose such training plans in advance . On Sunday, Pyongyang threatened to conduct a fourth nuclear test at some point, though Seoul says there are no signs of an imminent detonation . But the North has gradually dialed . down its threats and sought to improve ties with South Korea in what . foreign analysts say is an attempt to lure international investment and . aid. There has been no . major breakthrough in the North's reported push to win outside aid, . however, with Washington and Seoul calling on the North to first take . disarmament steps to prove its sincerity about improving ties, analysts . say. The North Korean live-fire drills and the country's hints at a nuclear test are meant to express anger and frustration over what the North sees as little improvement in progress in its ties with South Korea and the US, said Lim Eul Chul, a North Korea expert at South Korea's Kyungnam University. Lim said the North might conduct a fourth nuclear test and launch other provocations to try to wrest the outside concessions it wants. The Korean Peninsula remains in a technical state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. About 28,500 American troops are deployed in South Korea to deter potential aggression from North Korea.
North Korea conducted live-fire drill at 12.15 (3.15am GMT), firing into disputed waters near a South Korean island . Reclusive nation sent unusual 'warning fax' to South Korea before military practice, which alarmed officials . When shots crossed border, South Korean military responded by firing back 300 rounds and scrambling F-15 jets . Heated exchange happened during South's annual training with US, which North brands 'rehearsal for invasion' Residents of five border islands evacuated to shelters, in 2010 four islanders were killed by North Korea military . Test-fire drills are normal for North Korea, but they usually don't issue warning ahead of time .

(TIME.com) -- "My goal is to not alienate Anna Wintour -- and also bring in viewers in Peoria," says Alina Cho, host of CNN's Fashion: Backstage Pass (airing Sept. 15 at 2:30 p.m. E.T.), on which she has interviewed Marc Jacobs, Donatella Versace and more. Here, the fashionista (who profiles designer Bibhu Mohapatra in TIME Style & Design, available at time.com/style) lets loose with us. TIME: Of all the fashion heavyweights you've talked to, who surprised you the most? Cho: Karl Lagerfeld. I was just interviewing him in Paris, and I asked him, "After all these years, how you still can look at a dress and see that it needs to be a millimeter longer?" And he said, "Well I'm not blind yet!" He's very quick, he's very funny, and I think you have to be very smart to be funny. TIME: But he's not exactly a CNN staple. How do you tailor your fashion coverage to viewers who are more accustomed to hard news? Cho: In order to tell great stories, you need great characters. It doesn't matter whether you're covering the political race or the aftermath of a hurricane or fashion. So my approach has always been to be more character-driven than collection-driven. And there's no shortage of characters in fashion! TIME: Like Karl? Cho: Right, like Karl. The other thing I try to do, and I think this is really important, is make my fashion coverage accessible. People always say, "Oh, you're the new Elsa Klensch!" But I think the show that she did [CNN's Style With Elsa Klensch, which ran from 1980 to 2000] and the show that I do are very different, because we live in a different world. My fashion coverage has to be both aspirational and accessible. TIME: You've reported extensively on politics. Why do you think people are so interested in what candidates and their spouses are wearing? Cho: It just gives us another thing to talk about. And I think in many ways, Michelle Obama changed the game. She came onto the scene wearing Tom Ford one day and J. Crew the next. There's something appealing about that, no matter your politics. I know it's exciting for me to watch. She's incredibly fashionable. TIME: What do you make of Ann Romney's outfits? Cho: I think she plays it a little bit more conservative. Maybe that has something to do with her politics. I'll leave it at that. TIME: How do you dress well for TV? Cho: You know what they say -- the camera adds 10 pounds. So fit is incredibly important. I tend to favor dresses. I tend to favor three-quarter sleeve cardigans and a little belt, but I like to say I don't own many pants. I like the ease of a dress. You zip it up and you go. It's pretty simple. So as long as it fits great, I'm in. TIME: You travel to so many fashion shows for work. What's your go-to comfort heel? Cho: My go-to comfort heel is a flat. TIME: Touché! Cho: No, but really, I change between shows. Every female New Yorker can relate to that. Nobody wants to walk around in a high-heeled shoe! I'll carry my beautiful high heels in a bag. TIME: Smart. I've seen people do that on the subway. Cho: It's something my mother told me a long time ago. I'm just now starting to listen!

Alina Cho is most impressed by fashion heavyweight Karl Lagerfeld. Cho calls Michelle Obama's style "fashionable" and Ann Romney's "conservative". Fit is important for Cho on camera -- she favors dresses, 3/4 sleeve cardigans and belts.

Scottish voters are set to narrowly reject independence today, according to the last poll published before the result is announced tomorrow morning. The ‘No’ campaign goes into today’s referendum six points clear of the Alex Salmond’s nationalists – with 53 per cent of those certain to vote telling pollsters they will opt against separation. Among those certain to vote, 50 per cent say they will vote No, with 45 per cent saying they will back independence. A further 4 per cent are still undecided, according to the pollsters Ipsos MORI. Scroll down for video . The 'No' campaign holds a narrow lead going in to today's referendum, according to the last poll carried out before the result is announced tomorrow . Just under half - 46 per cent – of Scottish voters believe the Better Together campaign will win the referendum, compared with just 30 per cent who think the Yes campaign will win . Today’s poll for the Evening Standard, shows a small increase in support for the ‘No’ campaign. A series of surveys released last night showed the battle over independence going down to the wire – with the Better Together campaign ahead by just four percentage points. But Ipsos MORI found that women were dividing conclusively against independence – swinging the balance to the ‘No’ campaign. Men favoured independence 53-47, but women were splitting 42-58. Those aged 25 to 34 were the most passionate separatists – with just under three quarters backing independence. But those aged over-55 were split two-to-one in favour of No. Ipsos MORI interviewed 991 over-16s in Scotland by telephone yesterday and the day before. In a survey published by the same pollsters yesterday - among those who said that they are ‘absolutely certain’ to vote tomorrow – 49 per cent said they intended to vote No, with 47 per cent backing independence. Five per cent remained undecided. Gideon Skinner, Head of Political Research at Ipsos MORI, said: ‘These results confirm the picture from other polls before polling day – the referendum looks extremely close, and although No seems to have a small lead much will depend on turnout on the day. 'Meanwhile there is a clear difference in the motivations for voters on the two camps – Yes voters saying they are motivated more by hope for the future if their side wins, while No voters say fear for the future if the No side loses has been more important to their vote.' Polling booths opened across the country at 7am this morning, with turnout expected to hit 90 per cent . Piper Ryan Rendall, 30, outside the polling station at East Neighbourhood Centre in Craigmillar, Edinburgh, today . Polling booths opened at 7am this morning for fifteen hours of voting which will decide the future of the UK. The historic result will be announced tomorrow morning after all-night counts across Scotland of about four million votes. US President Barack Obama intervened again for the union side, posting a signed tweet on his White House account which read: ‘The UK is an extraordinary partner for America and a force for good in an unstable world. I hope it remains strong, robust and united.’ But tennis star Any Murray, who has for weeks refused to take sides, came off the fence in a tweet saying: ‘Let’s do this!’ He said he had been turned away from the ‘No’ campaign because of its ‘negativity’. He wrote: ‘Huge day for Scotland today! No campaign negativity last few days totally swayed my view on it. excited to see the outcome. lets [sic] do this!’ The independence campaign is set to go down to the wire today - with the public split down the middle over whether to stay in the UK or become 'an independent country'. But the debate has divided the country into distinct camps battling for Scotland's future. Polls have consistently shown that women, pensions, the middle classes - and Britons born outside Scotland comfortably in favour of the Union.

Two Indian sailors were found dead Thursday a day after the submarine they were on filled with toxic smoke, authorities said. The accident, the latest in a series of problems plaguing the Indian fleet, prompted the chief of the country's navy to resign. Seven crew members of the Russian-built submarine, the INS Sindhuratna, have been hospitalized after inhaling smoke emanating from one of the vessel's compartments early Wednesday while it was off the coast of Mumbai, the navy said. Two other sailors on the submarine had been reported missing. Their bodies were found Thursday in a smoke-affected compartment of the vessel, authorities said. Adm. D.K. Joshi, the navy's chief of staff, stepped down Wednesday after news of the problems on the submarine emerged, the government said. Joshi took "moral responsibility for the accidents and incidents which have taken place during the past few months," the defense ministry said in a statement. The Indian navy declined to provide an exact number of how many incidents had taken place on vessels in recent months, saying only that there had been "a couple of serious accidents involving submarines." In August, an explosion and fire sank another of India's Russian-made submarines, the INS Sindhurakshak, killing all 18 sailors on board. That was the navy's deadliest peacetime disaster. The cause of the smoke Wednesday on the Sindhuratna is still under investigation, the navy said. The Indian navy has been struggling to modernize its aging submarine fleet, which, like much of the Indian military, relies heavily on Russian hardware. Analysts say the current number of submarines is far fewer than India needs to patrol is lengthy coastline, but plans to update the fleet have been held up because of technical problems, bureaucracy and higher-than-expected costs.

Musharraf, who seized power in a military coup in 1999 but was forced to step down nearly a decade later, is disliked by many lawyers throughout Pakistan because of his decision to suspend the chief justice of the Supreme Court while he was in office. The lawyer tossed his shoe at Musharraf as the former military strongman was walking down a hallway in the court building in the city of Karachi surrounded by a mob of security, supporters and journalists, said police official Nasir Aftab. The shoe did not hit Musharraf, and the lawyer was not detained because no charges were filed against him, said Aftab.

The politician tweeted this picture on the flight into Pakistan after four years in exile in the UK . Another of the personal pictures the former Pakistani president posted on his Twitter and Facebook pages . Throwing a shoe at someone is an especially potent insult in Muslim countries because the sole is considered unclean. Local TV channels showed video of the incident, but it was impossible to identify the shoe thrower because he was hidden behind part of the corridor. Following the incident, judges granted Musharraf an extension of pre-emptive bail in three cases against him, meaning he cannot be immediately arrested. Two of the cases involve the 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and the killing of Akbar Bugti, a Baluch nationalist leader who died in August 2006 after a standoff with the Pakistani military. Musharraf was granted an extension of 21 days in those two cases. He was granted a 15-day extension in connection with a third case, in which he is accused of illegally removing a number of judges at the time, including the Supreme Court chief justice, said Shahadat Awan, the prosecutor general for surrounding Sindh province. Musharraf was also restricted from leaving the country during the period that his bail was extended, Pakistani state TV reported.

A boat carrying eight sections of the 458-foot antenna that will potentially make One World Trade Center the nation’s tallest building is finally en route to New York from Canada via the Atlantic seaboard. The Atlantic Salvor barge is expected to arrive in Port Newark next week following a 1,500-mile journey. Once in New Jersey, the spires will be transferred to Manhattan. Delivery of the antenna had been in jeopardy due to a legal dispute between the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey and Canadian manufacturer ADF Steel that was eventually resolved last month. Precious cargo: The Atlantic Salvor barge is carrying eight sections of the world trade center's 458-foot antenna from Canada to New York . Under construction: The trade center's director of construction, Steven Plate, says the spire marks a post 9/11 milestone that signifies New York City is 'better than ever' In a lawsuit filed at the New York Supreme Court, the Port Authority accused ADF of holding the antenna ‘hostage’ in a bid to receive $6 million it claimed it was owed from another WTC-related project. There was a race against time to resolve the dispute before the onset of winter that could have delayed delivery of the antenna until next spring at the earliest. Typically the St. Lawrence river freezes during the winter and if ADF hadn’t shipped the giant antenna parts by December, delivery would probably have been delayed and the March completion date of the tower would have been at risk. That would have had serious implications for the scheduled opening of One World Trade Center and  would also have resulted in the layoff of 100 iron workers who will construct the antenna from the 18 separate segments. The barge left Valleyfield, Quebec, last Friday loaded with the eight largest sections which range from five to 67 tons. The remaining 10 smaller sections are being transported via road. Once these separate elements have been welded together the 458-foot antenna, which has cost $10 million and weighs 750 ton, will be placed on top of the soon to be completed WTC building. The Atlantic Salvor barge made a 1,500-mile journey from Valleyfield, Quebec carrying the antennae pieces . Beacon of hope: One World Trade Center - the lit-up building on the left - is currently New York City's tallest skyscraper . The antenna, designed in collaboration with artist Kenneth Snelson, is part of the tower’s 'crown' and will allow the building to reach a symbolic height of 1,776 feet, a nod to the year the U.S. declared its independence from Great Britain. The skyscraper is intended to serve as a ‘symbol of recovery’ after the original towers, which collapsed during the 2001 September 11 terrorist attacks. Once completed, One World Trade Center had been expected to formally become the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, surpassing the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower) in Chicago. However in May, plans were dropped to enclose the antenna with an ornamental white shell after it was claimed it would be too costly . and dangerous to maintain. As the building's spire will no longer be enclosed, it may instead have to be classified as a simple antenna which, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, cannot be included in a building's official height. One World Trade Center, left, is scheduled to be completed next year when it will be determined if it really is taller than the Willis Tower in Chicago . Without the inclusion of the antenna . mast, One World Trade Center's official height would be its roof height . of 1,318 feet, making it only the third-tallest building in the United . States, behind the Willis Tower and Trump International Hotel & . Tower, both located in Chicago. Even without the spire, the . still-under-construction World Trade Center has already eclipsed the . Empire State Building’s 1,250 feet to make it the tallest building in . New York. However even that record might be surpassed by the completion of 432 Park Avenue in 2016, which is expected to rise to a height of 1,379 feet. The building's developers dispute the claim that the spire should be reclassified as an antenna following the redesign, with Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman reiterating that 'One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.' The CTBUH has announced it will wait to make its final decision as to whether or not the redesigned spire will count towards the building's official height until after One World Trade Center's completion next year. The original twin towers: 1WTC is intended to serve as a 'symbol of recovery' after the original towers which collapsed in the Sept 11 terrorist attacks .
A barge carrying eight sections of the 458-foot antenna are set to arrive in New Jersey next week . The delivery had been delayed due to a legal dispute, during which the Port Authority accused ADF Steel of holding the antenna ‘hostage’ The dispute had threatened to delay completion of One World Trade Center . A question mark remains over whether 1WTC will be able to claim the title of tallest building in the U.S.

(OPRAH.com) -- Mindy Perlmutter was having a birthday party, but this was not just your garden variety, chocolate cake, two kinds of ice cream, balloons, and a piñata type soiree. No, this would be an affair to remember. Lisa Kogan has learned the hard way about when it's important to listen to loved ones. This would be even more fabulous than Alicia Mittenthal's tie-dye-your-own-pillowcase gala or Daisy Feng's macramé-your-own-bracelet bash. This was to be a build-your-own-terrarium shindig, complete with colored sand and plastic stones and an incredibly classy assortment of glass goldfish bowls. At the time (the time being about 34 years ago), it seemed like a very big deal -- I mean, let's be honest here, it would still be a big deal to go to a party where you get to build your own terrarium...in, you know, a kind of retro, '70s, ironic, hipster way. So there I sat, looking out the den window, which gave me a clear view to the driveway while I waited for my ride to come spirit me away. Actually, it hadn't been our den since my grandparents returned from their life in Miami Beach and my folks rented a hospital bed to turn the den into my grandmother's bedroom. I loved my grandmother, but I can't say I ever really got to know her. She was the lady who played bingo and walked with a cane and kept a plump red tomato pincushion next to the creaky old foot-pedal-powered Singer sewing machine. I remember that she put up her own pickles and draped strudel dough across the kitchen table, and I know that she learned to reupholster her own furniture and got her first driver's license when she was deep into her 50s, and I'm acutely aware that she spoke to my grandfather in a very stern Yiddish whenever he tried to convince me to watch "The Lawrence Welk Show." My grandmother endured an awful lot from the man, but no grandchild of hers was going to be forced to watch Lawrence Welk so long as she still had breath in her body. Anyway, the sun was going down and my ride was running late and my grandmother started to talk. I thought she was going to warn me to be careful of something or other, because she was from the generation who believed that pigeons carry polio and she worried a lot, but if she was anxious about anything that night, she didn't show it. "I used to love to go to parties," she told me. She might as well have said that she used to enjoy scaling Mount Everest in flip-flops and a tutu. I was pretty sure I'd heard all the stories from my grandmother's life -- and none of them involved a party. Oprah.com: How to write your own memoir . The talk I'd heard was always the same: She and her mother and her five brothers and sisters starving through the bitter Russian winters in a little village whose name sounded like a sneeze. I knew about the malnutrition, the crippling rickets, the father who slaved away for years in Detroit trying to earn enough money to bring his wife and children to America and how when he finally did manage to save enough, the man he entrusted with the job of bringing the family over disappeared with the money (was he killed? did he steal it?), leaving my great-grandfather to start all over again. I'd heard how my great-uncles Sam and Isadore would scrounge through fields looking for anything edible while my grandmother supported everyone with her job as a maid to the butcher's wife, and I knew by heart the story of how she lost that job because the woman caught her taking a sip of milk. I also knew how she met Arthur Levy, the love of her life, who my great-aunt Molly swore looked "exactly like a young Perry Como," and that he died a few weeks after she married him, though she never stopped wearing his ring. I knew that the first son she had with my grandfather had died, and that on a Friday afternoon in 1939, her father, the man who worked so hard to bring the family here, died, too, after being pushed off the roof of a building in an anti-Semitic attack. And, of course, I knew that she worked nonstop to build a better life for her children. But I realize now that I only knew those stories because they were told to me by other people. The night of Mindy Perlmutter's terrarium party, my grandmother was telling me the things she wanted me to know. She talked about dances and boys and a silvery blue dress she'd sewn with her sisters. She told me about a time when all her friends were doubled over with laughter because...well, I'm not really sure what it was they found so funny. There was a honk and the glare of headlights, so I gave my grandmother a fast peck on the cheek and flew straight out the door. She went into the hospital the next morning, and she never came out. I sit playing Candy Land with the great-granddaughter Rose Kogan never got to meet. Julia Claire closes her eyes, blows on the dice, and whispers, "C'mon, c'mon, Mama needs a pair of deuces." I have no idea why my 6-year-old sounds like Edward G. Robinson, but I make a mental note to quit letting her play blackjack with the doormen. She rolls "snake eyes" and becomes my little girl again. "I want a do-over, Mommy." I start to explain that we don't really get do-overs in this world, that you kind of have to play it as it lays. I believe the parenting books call this a "teachable moment," but my follow-through leaves much to be desired. I hand Jules the dice and say, "Go for it, kid." The truth is, I want a do-over, too. I have ignored my instincts, I have embraced my neuroses, and there have been more than a few serious lapses in judgment over the years -- hell, I once painted my bathroom aubergine. But if I could get just one night back, it would be a chilly October evening when nothing mattered more to me than hanging with my friends in Mindy Perlmutter's basement. Oprah.com: One thing Lisa Kogan would never change . I would have taken off my coat and sat back down, only this time I'd have faced my grandmother instead of the driveway. I would have asked her if the good times outweighed the bad, if there were nights she'd do differently, if she'd ever felt like giving up -- or if that was even an option. I never told her how smart and talented and brave and lovely I thought she was. I never heard what was so great about Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon in Mrs. Miniver. I never found out what she did to make her skin so soft and her matzo balls so firm or if she'd have preferred it the other way around. And I never thanked her for being my go-to grandma in the unconditional goodness department. Julia and I finish the game and say our goodnights. I am eager to return a couple of calls, get her lunch packed for school, and watch the episode of "Mad Men" I've got waiting on our DVR. But my daughter is feeling chatty. "Mommy," she begins, "do you know why the Princess Barbie Musketeers have swords that match their ball gowns?" Before I can answer, she announces, "It's because they're royal squashbucklers." I tell her I'm pretty sure the word is swashbucklers, and she tells me she's pretty sure I'm wrong and goes on talking. She doesn't want to let go of the night, and so I nudge away two stuffed poodles and curl up beside her. The calls and the lunch and even Don Draper can wait, because I have learned the hard way that my job is to sit quietly in the dark and listen to whatever my daughter has to say.

By . Sarah Dean . A devastated homeowner is facing a $100,000 repair bill to her new property after teenagers advertised her address on Facebook, broke in and held a wild party. The 37-year-old woman had only just bought the four-bedroom house - her first family home - and was still renovating it on the day 70 teens destroyed it, breaking windows, doors and putting holes in the walls. 'It's disgusting they have damaged everything,' the mother of one, who didn't want to be named, told MailOnline from outside her wrecked home in Kambah, a suburb of Canberra. Smashed: A female new homeowner is faced with a huge $100,000 repair bill after teens caused reckless devastation to her home in Canberra . 'We just bought the house and were renovating it this week. The woman bought the property on June 2 for $452,000 as her first family home with her husband and 13-year-old son, who was not involved in the party. She is currently renting a home nearby and had been decorating her new house on Tuesday before around 70 hooligans, aged 15-18, threw a party at around 9pm and wreaked havoc throughout the house. Describing the moment she arrived at her new home to discover the destruction, she said the first thing she noticed was the seven police cars outside the house. 'There were broken windows everywhere. They took us through the house. We were just in shock,' she said. Mess: The hooligans sprayed ketchup over the walls in the house on the same day that the walls had been newly painted . Smashed: There is smashed glass everywhere and all of the four bedrooms have been destroyed, with cabinets and curtains left strewn on the floor . Spotless: The house, seen here in photos from the estate agent's website, only needed minor decoration updates when the family bought it and now it is ruined . The family were hoping to move in next week and now have to wait for their insurance company to fix the $100,000 worth of estimated damage. 'Every single one of the rooms is wrecked. Every wall and every window is smashed. There is paint thrown on the deck, it's not pretty,' she said. The woman described how there was alcohol left scattered around the house, including 'cider, beer and bourbon' and 'glass everywhere'. She also said there was 'tomato sauce sprayed over the walls'. Kicked in: Every single wall in the Canberra house now has holes in it since the 70 teenagers tore through the property on Tuesday night . Unrecognisable: The family's new home will now take months of repairs before they can move in. The kitchen units were torn and wires exposed . The woman was shocked to find smashed glass everywhere when police called her to explain there had been a party at her house . The woman described how there was alcohol left scattered around the house, including 'cider, beer and bourbon' and 'glass everywhere'. Tomato sauce was on the floor . 'We only bought the sauce yesterday as we had lunch in the house after we had been painting,' she explained, highlighting how her family's hardwork has been ruined. The woman has no idea who the teens who threw the party are and said she was told by police it was organised on Facebook. She believes the party-goers knew the house was empty after spotting a 'sold' sign outside in recent weeks. 'All the people had scattered when we got here at around 9.30pm,' she said. She urged those responsible to have a 'slight conscious and come forward'. The 37-year-old woman, who does not wish to be named, exchanged on the property on June 2 for $452,000 as her first family home . Devastation: A huge hole was kicked in the toilet door and the bathroom window was also smashed in . Describing the moment she arrived at her new home to discover the destruction the woman said the first thing she noticed was the seven police cars outside the house . Windows were broken, doors pulled off, walls kicked in, light fittings smashed and property in the backyard was damaged, according to ACT police, adding the damage was a 'wanton display of senseless vandalism'. When officers arrived at the property just after 9pm on Tuesday they saw numerous cars parked on the street and a large number of teens fleeing the area. Police are also urging the teens to turn themselves in. The vehicle registrations of several fleeing cars were noted and will be followed up on, police say. 'It would be better for them to come forward than wait for police to come knock on their door,' Sergeant Mark Rowswell said. Pushed over: The teens new the house was empty because of the 'sold sign' outside the house which had been there since June . Destroyed: The house had only just been bought when teenagers caused $100,000 of damage. Police are urging the teens to turn themselves in . Before: Photos of the home on a real estate website before it was sold to its new owner show it in a much better condition . When it was clean and tidy: One of the four bedroom's ensuite bathrooms and one of the bedrooms before the old family moved out .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . The death toll has risen to 22 in a killer heroin epidemic that has plagued the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the last nine days. Numerous more victims of the super-powered heroin are flooding emergency rooms with non-fatal overdoses and even drug dealers are beginning to warn customers about the potency of the new strain. Health officials believe the culprit is heroin laced with fentanyl, an opiate 100 time more powerful than morphine. The new hotshots are being sold on the street marketed as 'Theraflu,' 'Bud Ice' and 'Income Tax,' according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Public health officials, along with federal, state and local police are rattling the bushes, rounding up addicts and dealers alike to determine the source of the deadly drugs. Scroll down for video . Crisis: Officials say they've found these heroin bags stamped 'Theraflu' in possession of some of the over a dozen dead drug users who've died in the past week . 'It's not like this comes from an FDA . pharmacy,' Dr Neil Capretto, a medical direction of a local drug rehab . clinic, told the newspaper. 'You . don't know what's in it. We know that the advice not to use heroin in . the first place falls on deaf ears for people with addiction. 'If . you don't heed that advice and you are going to use, I would recommend . using significantly less because if you don't, this could be the last . time you shoot up.' Three . people were declared dead Sunday morning alone after apparent heroin . overdoses in Allegheny County and officials warn the situation now looks . startlingly like the crisis of 1988 when 18 Pittsburghers were killed . by a powerful synthetic heroin called China White. 'The fentanyl we're seeing as a powder has to be made by somebody,' Allegheny County medical examiner Dr. Karl Williams told ABC News. 'Somebody is making this somewhere in a clandestine laboratory.' Fentanyl is manufactured as a legal pain killer, but authorities suspect the fentanyl that laced the heroin was made in an illegal lab 'by some clever chemists.' Allegheny county sees about one overdose case per day, Williams said. What's happened in the past week is extremely out of the ordinary. 'We usually deal with 250 drug overdoses a year so what’s going on is really significant,' he told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Fentanyl resembles heroin, though it is much more potent, and it has been blamed for dozens of deaths around the U.S. Been here before? Found in some of the Theraflu bags was the super-potent narcotic Theraflu, which officials like Allegheny County medical examiner Dr. Karl Williams (right) says makes the recent rash of deaths eerily similar to the 1988 China White epidemic . China White: In 1988, 18 were killed in the Pittsburgh area by a drug called 3-methylfentanyl, a sort of synthetic heroin with the street name China White . Each of the people who died in the rash of overdoses has a known history of drug abuse, particularly heroin, Williams said. Deaths also have been reported in Westmoreland County, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto’s office said. The area has seen periodic rises in the overdose rate, notably in 1988 when a potent chemical called 3-methylfentanyl, AKA China White, was introduced to heroin users in the area, killing 18 of them. It remains to be seen if each of the recent victims died due to heroin laced with fentanyl. 'I don’t know yet what we’ll find in the bodies of these people,' Williams said, though something is clearly out there causing the steep rise in heroin-related deaths. 'We’re obviously dealing with a major public health crisis,' he said, something 'bringing to mind the very localized China White epidemic we had in 1988.'
Investigators have found many of the drug users possessed heroin bags labelled 'Theraflu,' 'Bud Ice' and 'Income Tax' Tests revealed those bags were laced with the super powerful narcotic Fentanyl . Experts have likened the rash of deaths to the 1988 synthetic heroin called 'China White' killed 18 in the city .

Deryck Whibley, the Canadian rockstar who used to be married to Avril Lavigne, spent more than a month in hospital after collapsing at home.

Apple has made a U-turn in its app review strategy after reversing an earlier decision to ban MassRoots. The social app allows its members to speak with other cannabis users and discover new marijuana strains and trends. It was removed from the App Store late last year because Apple said it promotes illegal substances online. Apple has made a U-turn in its app strategy after reversing an earlier decision to ban MassRoots. The social app allows its members to speak with other cannabis users and discover new marijuana strains and trends . According to App Store guideline 2.18: ‘Apps that encourage excessive consumption of alcohol or illegal substances, or encourage minors to consume alcohol or smoke cigarettes, will be rejected.’ MassRoots has now announced that Apple has agreed to allow the app back in the store just three months after the ban was enforced.

Tweets often reveal growing trends among young people - and now scientists have revealed cannabis has become a popular topic. During a single month, researchers identified more than seven million tweets referring to marijuana, with 'pro-pot' messages outnumbering those opposed to the drug by 15 to one. Most of those sending and receiving 'pot tweets' were under the age of 25, and many in their teens, said the team. US psychiatrist and lead author Dr Patricia Cavazos-Rehg, from the Washington University Institute for Public Health, said: 'It's a concern because frequent marijuana use can affect brain structures and interfere with cognitive function, emotional development and academic performance. 'The younger people are when they begin using marijuana, the more likely they are to become dependent. 'A lot of young people will phase out of marijuana use as they get older, but unfortunately, we're not good at predicting who those individuals are.' The findings, reported in the Journal of Adolescent Health, follow a computer search of tweets conducted between February 5 and March five last year.

By . Ap Reporter . Alejandro Bedoya scored in the first-half as a youthful United States team started the four-year cycle of preparation for the 2018 World Cup with a 1-0 win over the Czech Republic in Prague on Wednesday night. Three players made their U.S. debuts, with 21-year-old forward Joe Gyau playing the entire match, 23-year-old defender Greg Garza coming on as a 63rd minute substitute and 18-year-old midfielder Emerson Hyndman entering four minutes later. Hyndman, a grandson of former FC Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman, made his debut last month with Fulham in the Championship. Tim Ream, a 26-year-old defender who failed to make this year's World Cup squad, came on at the start of the second-half to play his first international game since October 2011. On target: Alejandro Bedoya wheels away after scoring the winner in the US' 1-0 defeat of Czech Republic . Beaten! The US youngster scored past Chelsea keeper Petr Cech (R) towards the end of the first-half . Brad Guzan played the first-half as he took over as the Americans' No. 1 goalkeeper from Tim Howard, who is taking a year off from the national team. Guzan, who turns 30 on Sept. 9, was the oldest player in the U.S. starting lineup. The only U.S. player over 30 was goalkeeper Nick Rimando, 35, who made several excellent saves in the second-half, including stopping Daniel Punil's point-blank shot with his leg in the final minute. The U.S. was coming off its first consecutive appearances in the World Cup's knockout rounds; the Americans were eliminated by Belgium after a 2-1 defeat in extra time in the round of 16 on July 1. The only way is up! US coach Jurgen Klinsmann has targetted a semi-final finish at the 2018 World Cup . Leader of the pack: Sunderland misfit Jozy Altidore (front) captained the US for a second time . Coach Jurgen Klinsmann started just two players who began the match against Belgium: Bedoya and right-back Fabian Johnson. Forward Jozy Altidore made his first U.S. appearance since injuring a hamstring as the Americans opened the World Cup with a 2-1 win over Ghana. Altidore captained the Americans for only the second time. Klinsmann told NBC Sports before the game his goal was to make the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup - a round the Americans last reached at the first tournament in 1930. 'Once you get out of the most difficult group in the World Cup, you should go further than just (the) round of 16,' he said. 'This is our goal going towards Russia, not to stop at the round of 16, maybe not to stop at the quarterfinal, to say clearly, listen: We have four years to prepare this cycle. Our goal is going into a semifinal in a World Cup. And that means a lot of work, a lot of competition, a lot of grind.' Help the aged: Brad Guzan was the oldest player in a youthful US team to start the game . Playing for keeps: Former Chelsea No 1 Petr Cech's clearance led to the US goal . The U.S. went ahead when goalkeeper Petr Cech, dropped from Chelsea's starting lineup by manager Jose Mourinho, sent the ball upfield to Vladimir Darida. Mix Diskerud stripped the midfielder before seeing his blocked shot ricochet to Bedoya, who scored with a left-footed shot for his second goal in 33 international appearances.

By . Paul Revoir . PUBLISHED: . 12:50 EST, 2 May 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 14:33 EST, 2 May 2013 . A long-awaited report into bullying and harassment at the BBC, which was commissioned in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal, has revealed there were 37 formal complaints of sexual harassment over the past six years. No disciplinary measures were taken and in some cases perpetrators were promoted even after complaints had been upheld against them. The review found there was a perception within the organisation that BBC stars did not have to adhere to the same rules as normal staff because they could ‘wield power’. Barrister Dinah Rose (left) compiled the report which director general of the BBC Tony Hall (right) said made for 'uncomfortable reading' It also said some on-air talent’s behaviour was ‘often inappropriate’ and in certain cases should be categorised as ‘renowned’. Barrister Dinah Rose’s findings are particularly embarrassing for the corporation which came out on the same day its former presenter Stuart Hall pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting 13 girls aged as young as nine. While the 80-page Respect At Work linked the ‘untouchable’ treatment of stars directly to bullying and inappropriate behaviour, rather than sexual harassment, it none the less added to the impression of a celebrity obsessed culture at the broadcaster. Yesterday director general Tony Hall admitted the report made ‘uncomfortable reading’ and said there would now be ‘zero-tolerance’ of bullying and harassment. As part of the report being published the corporation also revealed that it will now drop gagging orders from all BBC contracts in the future. Guilty: Stuart Hall arrives at Preston Crown Court today, with solicitor Maurice Watkins, where he has admitted historic sex allegations . There has been deep concern in the past that the BBC has been able prevent people speaking out about their treatment at the corporation as a result of these clauses in their contracts. While the report said sexual harassment was much less common than bullying, it did admit there was evidence that some individuals working at the BBC had made ‘unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances’ to their colleagues or staff. In some cases people had been given warnings about their behaviour but then gone on to repeat their harassment of the person. Between April 2005 and December 2012 there had also been six employment tribunal claims which included allegations of sexual harassment. The long-awaited report into bullying and harassment at the BBC which was commissioned in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal . The report added that in sexual harassment cases there was a tendency for the victim to be ‘young and in the early stages of their career’ and ‘almost exclusively female’ while the perpetrators tended to be men and in ‘positions of influence’. Victims had complained that they had ‘nowhere safe and confidential to go’ to report the problem and to ‘see it acted upon’. Miss Rose’s research found concerns about bullying and other forms of inappropriate behaviour were ‘much more prominent’ than sexual harassment. In this types of cases it was said that some bosses and stars were seen as ‘untouchable’ because of their ‘perceived value to the BBC’. The report once again created the impression of an organisation that was submissive to the talent it often pays large amounts of money to. It said: ‘There is a perception that “talent” are treated differently and don’t have to adhere to the same rules because they wield power over the organisation and anyone who tries to manage them. ‘In many cases, the BBC does not directly employ them and so people are quite unsure about what interventions are possible.’ The review said it had heard of examples of talent whose behaviour was ‘often inappropriate’ and their actions were what it would class as ‘visible’ and in some cases ‘renowned’. People who gave evidence to the review were said to have been ‘fearful of raising complaints’ about bullying and harassment, because they feared it would impact on their career. The report, which spoke of ‘known bullies’ at the corporation, noted: ‘Throughout our conversations we heard a strong undercurrent of fear; fear of speaking out, fear of reprisal, fear of losing your job, being made redundant, fear of becoming a victim, fear of getting a reputation as a troublemaker and not getting promoted if an employee, or further work if a freelancer, supplier or contractor.’ One contributor told the review: ‘People are afraid to complain, there is a huge fear of reputational loss and shame. These are the invisible silencing mechanisms.’ Of the 37 cases of sexual harassment only 25 resulted in a formal disciplinary process. The report said the BBC had not been clear enough about the standard of behaviour that was expected from all staff including on-air ‘talent’. The BBC will now launch a range of new measures to tackle the problem including a confidential helpline for support with bullying and harassment and making it explicitly clear to employees that must not behave in this way. The report, which did not name any individuals, heard from 930 people ranging from presenters, senior bosses through to technicians and engineers. The BBC’s management admitted some managers at the BBC were ‘concerned’ they would become part of a ‘witch-hunt’ by disgruntled staff as part of the process. While the corporation announced an end to gagging clauses it did admit it would continue to use confidentiality agreements where appropriate. Michelle Stanistreet, general secretary of the National Union of Journalists, welcomed action to tackle bullying, and said: ‘It is quite clear that bullying has become an institutionalised problem at the BBC, one that has taken hold over many years.’ BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten said: ‘Sexual harassment and bullying have no place at the BBC and should be acted on and stamped out.’

By . Annabel Fenwick Elliott . Struggling teen fashion chain Abercrombie & Fitch has announced that the days of its tired nightclub themed stores are over, and will be undergoing a major makeover. Or a make-under as the case may be. In the coming months, the dim lights of its some 400 U.S. stores will be turned up, the thumping music turned down, the half-naked lingering models will acquire clothing and even the pungent perfume spritzes will be reduced by 25 per cent, according to The Business of Fashion. '[Abercrombie] is targeted to its customer, its customer is changing, and we’re ready to change with her and him', says Mike Jeffries, its characteristically stubborn 69-year-old CEO, notorious for once insisting that the brand only caters to 'cool' and 'attractive' kids. Growing up? Abercrombie & Fitch will be toning down its U.S. stores, lifting the lights, quietening the thumping music, covering up its bare-chested models and even lessening the over-zealous perfume spritzes . As part of the overhaul, the heavy, daylight obscuring shutters on the windows have already been removed in 240 stores around the U.S. Even the logos are being toned down and made less prominent. The store, which still doesn't offer women's clothing in sizes that exceed 'Large', a notably small size ten, will also introduce the larger sizes it promised in November, later on this year. And in another 360 degree spin for Mr Jeffries, black will be introduced to some of the new designs, after years of his refusal to permit it previously. Hardly flying off the shelves: In response to poor sales, the brand's logos will also be made less prominent and clothes in larger sizes will be on sale later this year . A leaf out of their book? Teen favorite Forever 21 (pictured) is popular for its cheap, fast revolving stock which satisfies the fickle tastes of youngsters around the U.S. The ailing teen fashion brand has long been struggling to compete with cheaper, fast-turnaround chains such as H&M and Forever 21, as well as with the storming success of online portals with cult social media followings such as Nasty Gal. With that in mind, Abercrombie is also attempting to infiltrate the heaving beast of the teen blogosphere by striking deals with key influencers in the manner of its competitors. Which might be somewhat of a challenge, given the brand's persistent hangover from comments Mr Jeffries made back in 2006, sparking a boycott from stars including Miley Cyrus and Ellen Degeneres. Current season: Abercrombie's preppy, flesh exposing clothing once crawled the hallways of American high schools and remained popular and highly-desirable for decades . Hunks: Some shoppers swoon over the Greek god physiques of the Abercrombie models scattered around stores, others are intimidated, but either way, the shirts are going back on . 'We hire good-looking people in our stores,' Jeffries said in 2006. 'Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that.' He continued: 'In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids.' When asked if he considered Abercrombie 'exclusionary', he replied: 'Absolutely. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong.' CEO: Mike Jeffries, 69, caused outrage in 2006 for agreeing that yes, Abercrombie is 'exclusionary', saying that 'a lot of people don't belong, and can't belong' in his stores . Abercrombie was originally established as a sporting goods retailer in 1892, and operated a New York store that was frequented by game-hunting enthusiasts like Theodore Roosevelt. The retailer changed ownership and direction many times and by the mid-1990s had transformed itself into a hub for teenage fashion. Abercrombie’s skin-tight ribbed tank tops, ripped flare jeans, hooded sweatshirts, and leather flip-flop sandals became stalwarts in the hallways of American high schools. 'We want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that' But the brand - confident in its established standing - has ultimately failed to innovate in recent years. Last November, even Abercrombie's own head of planning, Leslee Herro, called the label ‘a stale brand,’ Reuters reported. ‘We recognize that our businesses have been and will continue to be disrupted by both fast fashion and pure play e-commerce competitors,’ she said, further explaining: ‘While the company is playing good defense by cutting expenses, this does little to revitalize what we believe is a stale brand.’
The ailing teen fashion label will also be introducing larger sizes later this year . Controversial CEO Mike Jeffries, 69, admits the brand is 'ready' to change for its customers .

A heroic Los Angeles-area taco stand employee saved a four-year-old boy from a deranged kidnapper. Jesus Delgado, a grill cook at T2 Tacos, in Westchester, jumped out from behind the counter Wednesday and rescued Grady O’Brien from a North Hollywood man who took him after punching his nanny in the face. Witnesses told KTLA the man was ranting about being in the CIA before sucker punching the nanny and making off with the child yelling he was the father – Grady’s six-year-old brother Brendan screamed for help until Delgado sprang into action. Heroic: Jesus Delgado saved Grady O'Brien from a violent kidnapper after the deranged man punched his nanny in the face . The children were walking home from school with the nanny when the afternoon attack occurred. The line cook bolted across multiple lanes of traffic on a busy thoroughfare to chase the would-be kidnapper down, witnesses said. Delgado told KTLA he heard the young boy screaming for help and just reacted. Witnesses claimed they also heard the nanny screaming for help after she was punched by the foiled kidnapper. ‘He told me, 'It's not your problem, man. It's not your problem. Leave me alone with the kid,’ Delgado recalled to KNBC. ‘I said, 'This is my problem. This is my problem, because why you take this boy?' The heroic man scooped up the frightened child from the unstable man and held him down until police arrived, according to reports. Delgado told local media his dash to save the child was instinctual because he has a four-year-old daughter - 'I'm also a father,' he said. 'There were like 100 people standing here when this happened, he's the only one that did anything,' a witness said. Also a hero: Six-year-old Brendan's screaming is what Delgado responded to when he sprung into action . Grateful: Tom O'Brien, the boys' father, thanked and hugged Delgado before handing him a check to help pay for medical care for his sick daughter . Where it all went down: Delgado is a grill cook at T2 Tacos . Brendan ran home screaming as Delgado tracked down his brother, the boy soon returned with father Tom O’Brien. ‘He ran home and said, ‘Someone stole Grady,’ O’Brien told KTLA. ‘All those thoughts were going through my head that I didn’t want to think about, like never seeing my son again,’ the father continued while fighting back tears. The children both returned home safe and sound, but the condition of the nanny is not known. Locals also took the opportunity to lay the groundwork for a neighborhood watch program to combat rising crime in the area, they told both stations. O’Brien and a host of locals assembled Thursday night at the restaurant to thank their hero. Tracked down: Delgado bolted across a busy street and ran down the kidnapper in front of these tennis courts . Very thankful: O'Brien embraced Delgado after seeing he would like to think he'd do the same thing for the cook's child if roles were reversed . A hero's welcome: Localas gather Thursday night at T2 Tacos to thank Delgado for saving the boy from the kidnapper . ‘I’d like to think that if it was your kid in a similar situation, I’d have done the same thing,’ O’Brien told Delgado before hugging him to a round of applause. O’Brien also gave him a check for an undisclosed amount to help pay for his four-year-old’s medical care, it is not clear what the young girl is suffering from. Delgado seemed embarrassed by the attention. ‘I can't work. Everybody says, 'I want a picture with you!’ He told KNBC. Older brother Brendan, when asked by KTLA what to do if the situation ever arose again, had wise advice. ‘Scream real loud.’

LinkedIn, the job social networking site, has found itself at the center of a sexism storm after it pulled down ad posts of a woman they deemed too attractive to be a real-life web-engineer. The controversy began when developer networking platform Toptal posted a series of advertisements onto LinkedIn aimed at the web-engineering sector. However, LinkedIn quickly disabled the ads with no explanation and requested images 'related to the product', which caused a furious response from Toptal's CEO. Rejected: This picture of Argentinian web developer Florencia Antara (left and right) was removed from LinkedIn over the weekend and then allowed to be re-posted after accusations of sexism were leveled . Spam-Like: This is how the advertisement appeared on LinkedIn - leading some to compare it to a mass spam email using attractive women to get traffic . 'The fact of the matter is: members of the tech community (LinkedIn users) saw it as impossible that our female engineers could actually be engineers, and a leader of the tech community (LinkedIn) agreed with them,' wrote Toptal's CEO, Taso Du Val in a blog post according to The Daily Dot. 'Unfortunately we're banned from showing anything except 100 percent, all make software advertisements from now on and so, that's what you'll be getting.' At first, Toptal had simply sent the same advertisements back to LinkedIn, including that of Argentinian web developer Florencia Antara, but LinkedIn barred them until they had made the necessary changes. 'Today was a disappointing day at Toptal. We saw extreme sexism within the tech community, from an industry leader and advertising partner that we work with quite extensively: LinkedIn,' wrote Du Val in a post entitled 'In Defence of Female Engineers.' Outraged: Toptal CEO Taso Du Val made his displeasure at LinkedIn known through a blog post entitled 'In Defense of Female Engineers' In response, a spokesperson for LinkedIn, which bills itself as the 'World's Largest Professional Network', said the ads were rejected in a mistake caused by a review at their customer service team. ''While Customer Service was going through a standard process of reviewing LinkedIn Ads, TopTal's ads were rejected in error. We have taken the necessary measures to approve the previously rejected ads, and TopTal can now run them on our platform as intended.' However, the initial decision by LinkedIn provoked a furious response from readers of Du Val's blog. 'LinkedIn appears to be engaging in slut-shaming ,and nerd oppression because no female engineer could look good. Engineers must be slide rule nerds,' wrote one reader in support of Du Val. Toptal also used an image of actress Amanda Schull to represent their female engineers - which they later deleted . However, the issue became complicated when it was pointed out that Toptal did not use actual images of every engineer they were advertising. They used a mixture of stock photography and the real pictures of software engineers with portfolios on their website - including a picture of actress Amanda Schull, who appears in the USA Network television drama series 'Suits'. In the immediate aftermath of the sexism controversy, Toptal deleted this profile online and were unrepentant in their defense. 'And even if they were only stock photography, who cares?' wrote Du Val. 'The point is, they're perfectly fine and represent normal professional people.' Once the profile using Schull's image was removed, the only remaining example of a woman in Toptal's advertisements was Argentinian Antara. 'Florencia Antara is 100 percent authentic,' said Du Val, pointing out the picture used in her ad was from her own profile. Regardless, many commentators were sided with LinkedIn, despite criticizing the web giant for blocking the ads. Some said that the issue was more of false representation by Toptal and pointed out that the ads gave off a 'spam' vibe. LinkedIn describes itself as the 'World's Largest Professional Network' for those looking to make contacts within their respective industries . 'Imagine if someone saw this ad while looking over your shoulder, didn't look very closely, and all they saw was a pretty face and '$1800-2800/wk,' commented on blog posting. Indeed, some felt that the images were simply to overt, even if they were the true representative of Antara. 'What's with the bra strap showing? How does that help emphasize her abilities as a developer?' said Macman 851. 'Why is she staring at the camera as if she is about to make love to it? 'The images are a bit suggestive and I would like to kindly turn the tables and ask you why you felt you needed to portray these women in such a sexually suggestive light than a professional light.' Another wrote: 'I don't think it's the fact that the women are intrinsically attractive, but rather the fact that they're consciously choosing the pose/makeup/lighting in order the emulate the design language of the adultFriendFinder-style ads ... The fact that most of the copy could apply equally well to sex trafficking doesn't help much either.' Ultimately, even though Du Val was satisfied that the advertisements, bar Amandad Schull's picture profile were readmitted, he felt it did not explain the original decision by LinkedIn to remove the ads only with the women.
LinkedIn has denied the accusation and claims an ad served by Toptal was temporarily taken down in error .

By . Jenny Awford . Top referee David Rose, 50, outside Plymouth Crown Court where he was given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £700 in fines after admitting to falsely claiming unemployment benefits . One of Britain's top rugby referees today admitted claiming unemployment benefit while officiating Premiership matches. David Rose, 50, claimed more than £700 in Job Seekers Allowance while working as a top referee – earning up to £696 per game in the Aviva rugby union league. He was handed a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay £700 in costs at Plymouth Crown Court after admitting a charge of giving false information for obtaining benefits. The Premiership referee made an application for the benefit in February 2012 after being made redundant from his job as a project manager for the Rugby Football Union. But he failed to disclose his earnings from his work as a freelance referee and claimed £712 in benefits. Plymouth Crown Court heard that Rose had not thought of his refereeing as work and believed he did not need to disclose it as it was under the 16 hours a week threshold. Rose, from Plymouth, pleaded guilty to furnishing false information with the purpose of obtaining benefits between 17 February 2013 and 22 February 2013. Prosecutor Adrian Chaplin said: 'He had been made redundant from his work with the Rugby Football Union where he had been a project manager . 'He didn't say he was earning money from it. What he had been doing since his full time employment was working on an as and when basis for the Rugby Football Union. 'He had been refereeing rugby football matches and had been receiving income up to the time of his application and continued doing this. 'It would seem he reffed on the 15 February and received £696. 'The day after his interview on the 21 February he reffed again on the 22 February for which he received the same amount.' Rose had been charged with two counts of fraud for dishonestly signing a claim form and fraud by false representation but the prosecution agreed to reduce this to one charge. The court was told of his 'glowing CV' which had seen him officiate hundreds of matches since 2001. Defending Sam Jones said: 'He hasn't worked as a referee since facing these charges, He was temporarily suspended and has remained so for the last 17 months. The referee officiated at hundreds of Premiership matches from 2001 and he was paid up to £696 per game. He is seen (left) at the Aviva Premiership match between London Wasps and Leeds Carnegie at Adams Park on April 17, 2011 and (right) at a Guinness Premiership match in 2007 . 'It was a genuine error, one that he accepts looking back now that he should have provided that information at the time.' Judge Graham Cottle sentenced Rose to a conditional discharge of 12 months and a £700 fine. He told him: 'You are an intelligent man. You have had a good and successful career concentrated principally around the game of rugby. Rose sprints to keep up with Jordan Turner-Hall of Harlequins during the Guinness Premiership match between Harlequins and Bristol at the Stoop on October 6, 2007 in Twickenham . 'It's at the very least odd that you should have thought you didn't need to disclose this information. 'I accept the submission that there has been a significant impact of this case professionally and also privately and that there may have well been for some period of time damage to your reputation.' The Rugby Football Union refused to comment on whether Rose would be able to continue working as a referee. Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA) is paid to help unemployed people and those who are on a low income and looking for a job. If you have paid enough National Insurance contributions you’ll be given a non-means-tested contribution-based JSA and those who haven't will be paid a means-tested income based JSA. It is at least £57.35 a week to help you while you look for work. To claim JSA you need to be: .

By . Olivia Fleming . PUBLISHED: . 13:54 EST, 6 April 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 14:51 EST, 6 April 2012 . The blog Sea of Shoes chronicles Dallas native Jane Aldridge and her infatuation with designer shoes. Co-managed by her divorced parents, the blog features Miss Aldridge's own styling ideas, shopping finds and vast luxury shoe collection, which has led to a devoted following of over 400,000 hits per month. Started five years ago after her parents invested 'several hundred thousand dollars, mostly in shoes', the now 20-year-old has decided to skip college in favour of moving into her own apartment to continue the blog. New season stilettos: The parents of 20-year-old Jane Aldridge admitted to spending $70,000 on her blog, mostly for shoes . When a reporter revealed that her parents estimate the investment in her blog 'runs several hundred thousand dollars,' neither Miss Aldridge nor her . mother Judy, denied it, admitting it was 'closer to $70,000'. However, after online fashion sites . began to highlight the expenses incurred her . parents, Miss Aldridge hit back yesterday calling the profile 'grossly exaggerated . and highly stylized' on Twitter. The . less-than-flattering profile was first published in the Texas Monthly, . where the blogger lives, and painted a picture of her daily life where . she documents her pricey designer shoe collection. The reporter, Jason Sheeler wrote about Miss Aldridge's reservations on attending college, and her mother's disdain for her younger daughter's affinity for shopping at sales. Both points have since garnered attention from various fashion sites. Mr Sheeler reported in the profile: '"Why should I go to college?” Jane asked me a few months ago, as . she grabbed a glass of champagne off a passing tray at a boutique party . we both attended. "I’m already doing what I want."' He continued: 'We pass by the discounter Nordstrom Rack ("Gross!" says Judy. "Carol made me go there one time, and I wanted to punch myself"). Sea of Shoes: Co-managed by her divorced parents, the blog features Miss Aldridge's vast luxury shoe collection, which gets over 400,000 hits per month . He also recounted a conversation in which Jane brought up her younger sister, Carole, referring to her budget-orientated choice of clothes, which was also singled out by other news sites. Mr Sheeler wrote: 'Jane smooths her half-tucked, sheer white blouse. I tell her I think it's a cool shirt. "Really? I think it's, like, Splen-did," she says with a grimace, sounding out the mall brand with the horror of . someone being forced to say "ointment." He continued: 'She nicked the shirt from her . sister's closet; Carol, who is seventeen, is in her first year of . boarding school in Wales. "I'm getting my hair dyed in a bit and, you . know, what if it messes up my shirt?"' Mr Sheeler's profile portrays a suburban teenage girl who has an 'intimidating infatuation' with designer footwear, whose blog Sea of Shoes has been featured in Teen Vogue, caught the attention of Karl Lagerfeld, and charges up-to $20,000 for event appearances. Mr Sheeler wrote she is now considered one of the top style bloggers in the country. Over a series of weeks, Mr Sheeler shadowed Miss Aldridge and her mother, who takes most of the photos on Sea of . Shoes, answers her daughter's email, handles press . requests, and negotiates her fashion event appearances. Like mother like daughter: Jane (left) and Judy (right) both run Sea of Shoes, the successful blog which documents designer shoes . He wrote a day-in-the-life-of profile, which recounts conversations as well as giving background to her now successful blog. The story starts with Aldridge 'snapping' at Mr Sheeler to stop touching a pair of her $750 glittery Miu Miu booties. 'Hello! I'm trying to shoot those. Can you put them down?' she says in a 'mean-girl tone'. Neither Miss Aldridge nor her mother contested the article or its contents in an interview on the national television programme Daybreak regarding the profile. However she took to her blog after NYMag.com recently published several quotes from the original text, which she called a 'snarky and out-of-context synopsis'. Perturbed at being portrayed in a negative light, Miss Aldridge also came forward to deny several of her original quotes published in the Texas Monthly. Specifically regarding her disinterest in college, as well as the $70,000 worth of expenses that are incurred for Sea of Shoes, Miss Aldridge wrote on her blog: 'I cannot believe the figures they threw out. Not one of them is even a little bit close to true.' She continued: 'There is a blatantly made up quote where I dismiss the notion of college.' Since she wrote what she called, her rebuttal, on her blog, hordes of fans have come forward on Twitter to defend her, writing 'don't listen to the haters' and 'keep your head up'. However, the Texas Monthly, a publication with a highly regarded reputation for accuracy, stands by the story and sent NYmag.com a statement. 'Both the writer and the fact-checker contacted Jane multiple times throughout the editing process to clarify details, and Judy Aldridge, as Jane’s spokesperson, confirmed figures, quotes, and biographical details with our fact-checker through several phone calls. '(Judy did contest the figure “several hundred thousand dollars” of investment in the blog given to the writer by Bryan Aldridge; when we could not contact him because he was out of the country, we chose to also include the number she provided, “closer to $70,000.”) 'We stand by the reporting in this story. In Jimmy Choo stiletto heels.'
Luckily the site has become a huge success, with Sea of Shoes attracting 400,000 clicks a month . Now 20, Jane Aldridge is shunning college to focus on her blogging career .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 15:53 EST, 1 October 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 15:54 EST, 1 October 2012 . Inspiration: Tom Sawyer (pictured) and Mark Twain first met in a San Francisco bath house in 1863 and the two became drinking buddies . Tom Sawyer is known to generations as one of the most beloved characters in American literature, but new research into the man that inspired the fictional child shows that his real life counterpart was a hard-drinking fire fighter-turned-barkeep. Author Mark Twain was thought to have based his adventurous Southern child character on his acquaintance named Tom Sawyer, and the writer's admiration for his fire-fighting friend was so strong that he gave the character the man's name in homage. A lengthy article published by The Smithsonian details the relationship between Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens, and Sawyer who met in a bath house in San Francisco during the mid 19th century. The two had many adventures together, gambling in Nevada and drinking in seemingly every saloon that San Francisco had to offer. Sawyer was born in Brooklyn and moved to California where he worked as a volunteer fire fighter, policeman and customs officer. Sawyer and Twain connected over their shared experiences with steamboats. Before making his way out West, Sawyer used his notable strength to save 90 people from a fiery shipwreck. Though such actions would rightfully earn anyone's respect, Twain was particularly moved by the story because his own brother died in a tragic fire while working on a similar steamboat. The two men became fast friends after meeting in 1863, with Sawyer travelling to Virginia City, Nevada, at one point to visit Twain while he was working as a correspondent there. Retiring to the bar: After many years as a volunteer fire fighter, Sawyer retired and worked running a saloon . After one particularly heady night once the two men returned to San Francisco, Twain put his infamous hallow leg to the test and proclaimed to his friend that he would base a character in his yet-unwritten book on him. 'He walks up to me and puts both hands on my shoulders. "Tom," he says, "I’m going to write a book about a boy and the kind I have in mind was just about the toughest boy in the world. Tom, he was just such a boy as you must have been....How many copies will you take, Tom, half cash?"' Sawyer told a local reporter shortly after Twain's first usage of the character in a book in 1876. On another- potentially more sober- instance, Twain repeated the plan to Sawyer, who always referred to him by his given name. 'One day he says to me: "I am going to put you between the covers of a book some of these days, Tom." "Go ahead, Sam," I said, ‘but don’t disgrace my name,"' Sawyer said. Besides their fondness of brandy, the two men also shared a propensity for storytelling, and Sawyer believed that it was his anecdotes about his own childhood inspired Twain to create a version of his friend in his child form. The man named Sam: Sawyer called Twain (pictured left and right) by his given name, Sam Clemens, and the two men initially bonded over their shared appreciation of steamboats . Growing city: The two had many adventures together, gambling in Nevada and drinking in seemingly every saloon that 19th-century San Francisco (pictured) had to offer . 'We both was fond of telling stories and spinning yarns. Sam, he was mighty fond of children’s doings and whenever he’d see any little fellers a-fighting on the street, he’d always stop and watch ’em and then he’d come up to the Blue Wing and describe the whole doings and then I’d try and beat his yarn by telling him of the antics I used to play when I was a kid and say, "I don’t believe there ever was such another little devil ever lived as I was." Sam, he would listen to these pranks of mine with great interest and he’d occasionally take ’em down in his notebook,' Sawyer said. Initially Twain said that the character of Tom Sawyer was based a compilation of three real people: John B. Briggs, William Bowen, and Twain himself. In spite of such pronouncements, the historical evidence that Twain and the fire fighter version of Sawyer were close proves that there was likely a fourth, more prominent influencer in the creative mix.
Mark Twain was close friends with a man named Tom Sawyer when he lived in San Francisco in 1863 . The author later used the name and his story for the famous character .

Port-au-Prince, Haiti (CNN) -- Long lines formed under the watchful eye of American and multinational troops as a wide-scale food distribution effort reached capacity Thursday in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Nearly 160,000 Haitian women each collected a 25-kilogram (55 pounds) bag of rice under a distribution plan coordinated by the United Nations, several private humanitarian agencies and the Haitian government. The effort was launched Sunday but not all 16 fixed distribution points around the capital were operational until Thursday. So far, 600,000 people affected by the devastating January 12 earthquake have been able to collect food under this plan, said Marcus Prior, spokesman for the United Nations World Food Programme. "We're encouraged by the way the system is working to get food out into the city to those in need, but still have a long way to go," Prior said. Only women were given food coupons beforehand and allowed to stand in line to collect for their families. "Our long experience in food distribution tells us that by delivering food into the hands of women, it is more likely to be redistributed equitably among the household -- including the men," Prior said. U.S. and U.N. troops have been keeping strict control over the crowds. Prior said the distribution plan has been orderly so far. The death toll from the earthquake has reached 212,000, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive said Thursday. More than 300,000 people were injured and more than 1 million were made homeless, he told CNN's "Larry King Live."

Convicted rapist Ched Evans has moved step a closer to returning to professional football after it was revealed he will start training with former club Sheffield United this week. More than 150,000 people have signed an online petition urging the club not to let him return after he was jailed for five years for raping a 19-year-old in hotel room in front of friends. He was released last month and continues to deny he raped the girl in a Premier Inn in his hometown of Rhyl, north Wales. Evans will not be paid for his time back with the club on a PFA-style trial with the Blades, who plan to release a statement later this week. Controversial: Rapist Ched Evans will start training with his former club Sheffield United this week despite 150,000 people demanding the club turn him away . New start: Ched Evans is to marry his fiancée Natasha Massey after proposing shortly after he was released from prison, where he served half of a five-year sentence for raping a 19-year-old girl . Man City (2007-09): 16 games, 1 goal . Norwich (loan, 2007-08): 28 games, 10 goals . Sheff Utd (2009-12): 103 games, 42 goals . Wales (2008-11): 13 games, 1 goal . But by the end of the week Evans will be training with United, where he earned £20,000 before he was jailed, and is likely to be the final step before he signs for them permanently. The club has repeatedly refused to rule out signing the player and some of its fans have been chanting his name at games since his release. Sheffield United have already contacted the Football Association to inform them of the news, according to the BBC. The former Sheffield United and Wales striker was released from Wymott prison, Lancashire in October. He then proposed to fiancée Natasha Massey, who has led the campaign against his conviction. Ms Massey appeared alongside Evans in a recent video he made, in which he insisted he was guilty only of infidelity - not the rape he was jailed for. In the video, Evans apologised to Ms Massey, who he described as 'the woman I love with all my heart'. He said: 'I've constantly regretted my act of infidelity and the damage that has been done on so many fronts because of it. Evans warms up at the Millennium Stadium ahead of Wales' Euro 2012 qualifier against England in March 2011 . 'The support that's been shown by Natasha, our friends and family during the trial and the time spent in prison has kept me strong. 'It can't have been an easy thing to stand by someone who the court found guilty of such a destructive act. I will be forever grateful. 'Even though I've been released from prison I'm determined to continue to fight to clear my name.' Ms Massey appeared to be wearing an 'engagement' ring in the video, but it is now believed to have been a 'commitment ring' Evans gave her while he was in prison. It is understood that Evans had not wanted to propose while he was in jail, but planned to asked Ms Massey to marry him as soon as he was freed. It is thought Evans, pictured with Ms Massey before he was convicted, did not want to propose from jail . Ms Massey, pictured with Evans last week, is said to be 'over the moon' after he proposed to her . Ms Massey has continued to protest Evans's innocence since he was convicted of rape in April 2012. Shortly before his release earlier this month, she wrote on the ChedEvans.com website: 'Not a minute passes when I don't think about Ched, his mental and physical strength is admirable and keeps us all positive. 'When Ched is released the fight to clear his name will continue, however long it takes this is one fight we will not lose. 'My boyfriend was wrongly convicted and we are doing everything in our power to clear his name.' She later told ITV's This Morning: ‘As soon as I found out that he’d been questioned over rape, my instinct was kind of protective of Ched, and I thought I have to stand by him. ‘So my thoughts and feelings over the cheating were put to one side and I just stepped in to help him through this terrible time. ‘I know Ched and I knew he wouldn’t be capable of committing a crime like that.’ Ms Massey, pictured on ITV's This Morning, said she put thoughts of Evans's infidelity 'to one side' Evans had been serving at HMP Wymott prison in Lancashire but was released earlier this month . Evans's own family have criticised his lack of remorse, with his aunt Nina Evans, 56, urging him to apologise to his victim. She said: ‘He deserved to go down as he was found guilty - he did rape her.’ His victim's father has also spoken out, demanding an apology from the footballer. He said: ‘He’s shown no remorse and every time he makes some fresh appeal or comment, he draws attention to my daughter and risks her being identified and found. ‘She went into hiding because people were trying to track her down and kill her.' The Criminal Cases Review Commission is currently examining Evans's case as part of his hopes to launch an appeal. He has not been re-signed by his former club or any other team since his release.

By . Jennifer Smith for MailOnline . Brian Broughton had the end of his nose bitten off during the attack last March . A violent thug who bit off a man's nose as he walked to work has been jailed for 12 years. Brian Broughton, a father-of-one, was on his way to his factory job in Benton, Newcastle, when he was attacked by David Robson in March. After starting a fight with the 24-year-old, Robson bit off the tip of his nose and spat it out on to grass. The 22-year-old, who was on bail at the time of the attack for a separate violent incident, was jailed for 12 years at Newcastle Crown Court on August 29. Speaking after Judge Simon Hickey's sentencing, Mr Broughty recalled the moment he saw his nose 'flattened' on the ground. 'I ended up having a fight with him, but then I realised it wasn't going to be a fist fight. 'He didn't want to fight me, he wanted to bite me,' he said of Robson, who he is thought to have known for years. 'I was half knocked out and stunned. Then I realised he was biting my nose,' he said. 'I was shouting and screaming. It was some pain. I was just in shock. 'You just don’t expect someone to do that. 'Real men don’t bite people.' 'When I found my nose it was flattened and covered in mud and little stones. 'I had it in my hand. I can remember when the ambulance pulled up I was trying not to look at the window because I didn’t want to see my reflection. 'I was scared to look.' Doctors at the Royal Victoria Infirmary were able to reattach the nose but Mr Broughton is still awaiting plastic surgery. 'I’m back to normal now. 'I’m back at work and everything is fine. I just want to get on with my life now,' added Mr Broughton. 'My nose has not fully healed but it’s much better. 'You can’t really tell anymore. It’s kind of grown back by itself so it’s not a bad as it first looked.' At the time of the attack Robson was already on bail for an alleged stabbing in June 2013. The 24-year-old father-of-one was on his way to work when he encountered David Robson (right) in the street. After the pair began fighting, he realised Robson had latched his teeth onto his face and wouldn't let go . The man, pictured before the attack, is now waiting for plastic surgery to correct his face . The court heard how the 22-year-old was involved in an incident in which a man was stabbed under his arm. On August 29 Robson was jailed for eight years for the incident in March with a 34 month concurrent sentence for the prior attack. Judge Hickey however extended the first sentence by four years after considering the danger the man posed to society. A Northumbria Police spokesman said: 'This man is now facing the consequences of his violent actions. 'Let this serve as warning to others that violence is not acceptable and we will take action.'

ROME, Italy -- Mauro Camoranesi scored with 13 minutes left to earn Juventus a 1-1 home draw with Serie A leaders Inter Milan on Sunday. Julio Cruz is mobbed by team-mates after giving Inter the lead in their 1-1 draw at Juventus. Camoranesi picked up a headed knock-down from substitute Vincenzo Iaquinta before seeing his shot deflect off defender Walter Samuel to leave goalkeeper Julio Cesar helpless. Inter took a first-half lead when Argentine striker Julio Cruz broke Juve's offside trap and latched onto Brazilian midfielder Cesar's through ball before firing past Gianluigi Buffon. The result means Inter retain their unbeaten record this season, despite injury problems that saw the likes of Patrick Vieira, Francesco Toldo, Marco Materazzi and Dejan Stankovic ruled out. The defending champions are now two points clear of Fiorentina at the top of the table, with Roma a point further behind and Juventus in fourth place. Earlier in the day, Roma missed out on the chance to close the gap on Inter when a late collapse saw them throw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Empoli. First half goals from French winger Ludovic Giuly and Matteo Brighi had put the visiting Romans in charge and for more than an hour they looked set to cruise to victory. But with 23 minutes remaining Ighli Vannucchi reduced the deficit and Sebastian Giovinco snatched an injury time equaliser to deny Luciano Spaletti's injury-depleted team. Siena snatched a share of the spoils from Parma in a 2-2 draw as Daniele Galloppa scored in the last minute while Napoli needed an injury time goal from striker Ezequiel Lavezzi to deny rock-bottom Reggina their first win of the season, forcing them to settle for a 1-1 draw in the south.

O.J. Simpson gives testimony at court in May. His bid for a retrial in his armed robbery and kidnapping case has been rejected . O.J. Simpson faces at least four more years in prison after a judge yesterday rejected his bid for a new trial in his Las Vegas armed robbery and kidnapping conviction. His legal team argued he had not received a fair trial in 2008 and that his original attorney had botched the case. However Clark County District Judge Linda Marie Bell said in her ruling: 'All grounds in the petition lack merit and, consequently, are denied.' Simpson's lawyer Patricia Palm said she spoke briefly with the former football star from prison, and said he was disappointed but would appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court. She said: 'We're confident that when we get to the right court we'll get relief because he deserves relief, because he didn't get a fair trial.' If the 66-year-old Simpson loses his . appeal to the state high court, he could take the case to federal courts . to argue his constitutional right to effective counsel was violated. Simpson was found guilty of kidnapping, . armed robbery and other charges in what he said was an attempt to . retrieve memorabilia and personal items from two sports collectibles . dealers in a casino hotel room. Simpson was sentenced to between nine to 33 years . in Nevada state prison but was granted parole on some convictions in . July, meaning he must serve at least four more years locked up. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, whose wife was the judge who presided over the Simpson 2008 trial, called Bell's ruling the right decision. 'I believe Mr Simpson received a fair trial and had more than competent counsel,' Wolfson said. Simpson's conviction came 13 years to the day after the former movie and TV star was acquitted in the Los Angeles 'trial of the century' in the stabbing deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. Six years later, a jury in Miami acquitted him of all charges in a Florida road rage case. Simpson's legal defense in his Las Vegas trial was headed by Yale Galanter, the Miami-based attorney who represented him in the 2001 road rage case. Attorney Gabriel Grasso served with Galanter as co-counsel in Las Vegas. Galanter, who testified during Simpson's five-day habeas corpus hearing in May, said he felt vindicated. His legal team had argued that his previous attorney had botched the case and he was not given a fair trial . Simpson's lawyer at the 2008 trial Yale Galanter, right, has defended his performance on his client's behalf and calls the claims a 'charade' 'As O.J.'s lawyer and confidante, it was gut-wrenching for me to have to be in a position to defend my strategy and efforts on his behalf as his lawyer and testify against my client,' Galanter said. 'If I did what their legal team says I did, the first thing O.J. should have said to me was, "Hey I'm in jail and it's because of you. Go screw yourself."' Bell's 101-page ruling rejected arguments that Simpson had received inadequate legal representation. 'Mr Simpson's convictions stem from serious offenses,' she wrote. The judge noted the involvement of six co-conspirators and weeks of advance planning. 'Mr Simpson specifically asked two of his co-conspirators to bring weapons... to show the sellers he meant business,' she said. And the two memorabilia dealers were 'lured into a small hotel room' where they were surprised by Simpson's group. The judge considered a 94-page petition for a new trial. Simpson's . new legal team - Palm, Ozzie Fumo and Tom Pitaro - said they believed . they presented overwhelming evidence that Galanter knew of Simpson's . plan, had conflicted interests that shaped the way he handled the case, . and that Simpson didn't get a fair trial. Mr Galanter said he felt vindicated by the judge's rejection of Simpson retrial bid . They said Galanter failed to hire an investigator or have experts examine crucial evidence, including audio tapes that jurors later said convinced them of Simpson's guilt. Simpson's lawyers sought to show that Galanter advised Simpson it was OK to take back his items and should have stepped aside so he could be called as a witness for Simpson's defense. Instead, they said, Galanter advised Simpson not to testify and reached a pretrial agreement with prosecutors not to enter evidence into the trial record of phone calls that raised questions about whether he had knowledge of the heist. Simpson, pictured at the 2008 trial, will appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court . Finally, Simpson's legal team said that by handling the appeal, Galanter nearly precluded Simpson from ever arguing he had ineffective counsel. A shackled Simpson spent an entire day in May testifying for the first time in the case. Simpson, noticeably grayer and heavier after five years in prison, said he believes Galanter misled him, including telling him it was OK to retrieve the family photos and memorabilia he thought had been stolen from him after his acquittal in Los Angeles in 1995. Simpson said Galanter advised him that it was his legal right to retrieve personal items as long as no force was used and no one trespassed. 'It was my stuff,' Simpson said. 'I followed what I thought was the law. My lawyer told me I couldn't break into a guy's room. I didn't break into anybody's room. I didn't try to muscle the guys.' During his parole hearing in July, Simpson said he was sorry for his actions and said he had made amends with the two memorabilia dealers. Galanter dramatically contradicted Simpson's account. He testified he was surprised when Simpson told him that he and several other men were planning a 'sting' the next morning. The attorney denied giving Simpson the go-ahead to try to retrieve the items. 'I said, "O.J., you've got to call the police,"' Galanter testified. Galanter disputed the claim that Simpson was never informed about plea bargain discussions with prosecutors that could have resulted in a prison sentence of just a few years. Galanter also testified that Simpson later confided to him that he knew some of the five men with him the night of the robbery had guns. Simpson maintains to this day that he never asked anyone to bring guns or saw weapons in the cramped hotel room. 'Mr. Simpson never told me he was going to go to the Palace (Station) hotel with a bunch of thugs, kidnap people and take property by force,' Galanter said. 'To insinuate I, as his lawyer, would have blessed it is insane.'
Former footballer's team argued he had not received a fair trial in 2008 . Said his then attorney Yale Galanter had a conflict of interest in the case that changed the way he handled it . But judge rejected bid and said 'all grounds in the petition lack merit' Simpson was jailed for up to 33 years for his 'attempt to retrieve memorabilia' from two sports dealers . His legal team said he will now appeal to Nevada Supreme Court .

Tragic Erin Corwin – the newly pregnant 19-year-old woman killed and dumped in an abandoned mine-shaft in the California desert – was ‘super-excited’ at having a baby after suffering a miscarriage earlier this year, MailOnline can reveal. Erin was heart-broken when she lost her first baby in February after complications during a brief pregnancy. But friends say the young girl was thrilled to fall pregnant for a second time and was looking forward to having a healthy baby. This comes as the man accused of her murder and Erin’s alleged lover, former Marine Christopher Brandon Lee, was charged on Tuesday with killing her. Tragic Erin Corwin – the newly pregnant 19-year-old woman killed and dumped in an abandoned mine-shaft in the California desert – was ‘super-excited’ at having a baby after suffering a miscarriage earlier this year, MailOnline can reveal . The San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office also filed the special circumstance allegation of 'lying in wait', increasing the potential penalty to life without parole or death. 'The decision regarding which penalty will be sought will be made after a full review of the facts and evidence in the case,' District Attorney Michael Ramos said. Lee was arrested on Sunday by officers in Alaska on suspicion of murder and is currently awaiting extradition to California. Police sources say he has admitted conducting internet searches on human body disposal, and a witness told detectives that Lee asked him 'what was the best way to dispose of a human body,' a sheriff's investigator wrote in a document filed in San Bernardino County Superior Court in support of an arrest warrant. In addition, .22-caliber fired casings and rebar were recovered from the scene where Erin's body was found late on Saturday in an abandoned mine shaft. The head stamp from the casings matched those on casings found in Lee's vehicle and home, the document said. Police claim that Christopher Brandon Lee has admitted conducting internet searches on human body disposal and .22-caliber fired casings found at the murder scene match his gun . Erin’s chance of becoming a new mom was cruelly snatched away on June 28 when she vanished. She was allegedly murdered and her killer dumped her body down a 140ft deep mineshaft in a remote area around two miles from her home on Twentynine Palms Marine Base in California. She was three-weeks pregnant. Erin had told her Marine husband Jonathan Corwin she was headed to Joshua Tree National Park to scout trails she and her mother could later bike, but she never returned home. Her Toyota Corolla was found two days later abandoned just blocks from the Twentynine Palms Marine Base. According to search warrant documents, tire tracks matching those of Lee’s Jeep were found near to Erin’s car. Search and rescue teams scoured a 300-square-miles area round Joshua Tree National Park, including more than 100 mine shafts, for nearly two months before Corwin's body was found. The investigation grew to focus on Lee, who was the Corwins' neighbor at the Marine Base, according to court papers. Erin’s friend told investigators that Corwin and Lee were having an affair and that the unborn child might be Lee's, the papers show. A close friend said Erin had become friends with Lee and his wife Nichole and the trio often visited a horse ranch just outside the town of Joshua Tree. Erin Corwin, pictured with husband Jonathan, a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps, was three weeks pregnant when she disappeared in June. He was 'super-excited' to be having a baby after a miscarriage in February . Michele Herring said she was in ‘shock’ over the murder and still can’t believe married father-of-one Lee has been charged with murder. She told MailOnline: ‘Lee is a nice person, kind and laid back, you never saw him get angry, if anything he was the kind of guy who would step in to diffuse a situation.’ Michele said Lee and Nichole would come to the White Rock Horse Rescue Ranch at least twice a week to care for two horses they sponsored named Humorous and Mack. She said Erin also visited with the couple and the three seemed like good friends. ‘Chris was always himself, a nice guy. I saw him hanging out with Erin but he didn’t seem flirty or give off the impression anything was going on. ‘He and Nichole were high-school sweethearts, they are very much in love and seem really close, like best friends. They have a daughter called Liberty. ‘They knew Erin from the base and she sponsored a horse called Casey so would come up to the ranch, her husband never came because he didn’t really like horses.’ Michele said Erin was 'super-excited' by her pregnancy after tragically losing a baby due to a miscarriage in February. She said: 'She was so excited to be having a baby, she was a sweet girl, I just can't believe she's dead, who would do such a thing, they threw her away like she was a piece of garbage and to someone who was pregnant.' Michele Herring, a close friend of Erin, Lee and his wife, said she was in 'shock' over the murder and still can't believe married father-of-one Lee has been charged with murder . Erin, together with Lee and his wife Nichole, would often visited the White Rock Horse Rescue Ranch just outside the town of Joshua Tree, California . Erin Corwin disappeared after leaving her home on the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps base on June 28. Her alleged lover Christopher Brandon Lee, 24, was arrested on Sunday in Alaska in connection with her death . Michele said Chris never showed any aggression during the year and a half she knew him. She said he was always 'calm' and was ‘amazing’ with the rescue horses, catching the more troublesome animals with ease. ‘They all seemed to take to him, even the skittish ones,’ she said. ‘He and Nichole liked to go riding and they often volunteered helping the ranch with repairs. It was a very social thing, there is always people around the ranch. ‘I loved them both, they were part of my ranch kids, I would never in a million years have thought Chris was capable of murder.’ Lee is being held on a federal hold and will be extradited to California from Alaska where he and Nichole had moved to in July. Authorities say Lee's wife is a 'person of interest' in the death. But Michele says the couple didn’t flee to Alaska as some reports have suggested, in fact she says they had been planning the move for several months. ‘Chris had left the military and it was always their plan to move back home in July, his last day was on July 6 and he wanted to go back to school to study,’ said Michele. Scene: Erin Corwan's body was found at the bottom of a mine shaft several miles away from Twentynine Palms Marine Base in California where she lived. The exact location is unknown. She told her husband on the day she went missing that she was headed to Joshua Tree National Park . She said Lee and Nichole stayed at a bunk-house on the horse ranch before leaving for Alaska and it was here police carried out a search warrant. Michele said Lee seemed ‘baffled’ when cops turned up. Police seized a .40 caliber rifle and ammunition and a destructive device known as a potato gun. Lee was then arrested for illegally possessing the potato gun and spent two days in jail. 'Nichole was beside herself,' said friend Michele. But for another friend of Lee and Nichole the search warrant raised a few suspicions. Former Deputy US Marshall David Lange, 68, who also visits the horse ranch, said he believed Lee knew police might search his house. ‘He hid his rifle in the main house where Isabella lives and put the spud gun in the trunk of her car,’ he told MailOnline. ‘Why would you hide those things unless you thought the police might find them. It just seemed a little odd to me. ‘Some have said that maybe he was keeping it away from his daughter but I’ve seen him up here plenty of times with his rifle, he once asked to use the bunk house so he could clean it. 'Isabella rang me after the police came round and she said she knew nothing about the rifle, Chris hadn't told her he was keeping it in her closet.' Former Deputy US Marshall David Lange, 68, who also visits the horse ranch where Erin used to visit, said he believed Lee knew police might search his house . The murder case is being investigated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department and the investigation is ongoing. Deputy District Attorney Sean Daugherty is prosecuting the case. 'Once again, we are faced with a terrible crime that shows absolutely no regard for the value of human life,' DA Michael Ramos said. 'Make no mistake that this office will fight to see that justice is carried out for our victim and her family.' Authorities have so far declined to release the manner of Erin’s death. 'It is highly likely that Erin could have been harmed by an unknown firearm,' investigators wrote in the court documents. 'Sometime after Erin left with Lee, her phone was deactivated (turned off). Detectives believe if Erin was injured and left at an undisclosed location, she would not (be) able to call for help.' Members of the Urban Search and Rescue team from San Bernardino County's Sheriff's Department prepare to recover the body of Erin Corwin from an abandoned mine shaft near Twentynine Palms, California on Sunday. Her body was found on Saturday night . Other evidence was found in the abandoned mine-shaft - one of more than 100 in the area - but San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon refused to disclose what that was. Lee, a former Marine, told investigators he was not with Erin the day she went missing and had been hunting in Joshua National Park. He told police that although the two had kissed, they had never had intercourse. But the investigation found that Lee and Erin did have an 'intimate relationship' dating back to at least February, Sheriff's Sgt. Trevis Newport said. Lee was honorably discharged after seven years in the Marine Corps (last serving as a rifleman in the Individual Ready Reserve) and subsequently moved his wife, Nichole, and daughter to Alaska. Erin and her husband are from Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

TEL AVIV, Israel (CNN) -- Keep your shoes and belts on: Waiting in long airport security lines to pass through metal detectors may soon be a thing of the past. Airport security checkpoints may become opportunities for screeners to study passengers' intentions. Security experts say focus is shifting from analyzing the content of carry-ons to analyzing the content of passengers' intentions and emotions. "We are seeing a needed paradigm shift when it comes to security," says Omer Laviv, CEO of ATHENA GS3, an Israeli-based security company. "This 'brain-fingerprinting,' or technology which checks for behavioral intent, is much more developed than we think." Nowhere is the need for cutting-edge security more acute than Israel, which faces constant security threats. For this reason, Israel has become a leader in developing security technology. Several Israeli-based technology companies are developing detection systems that pick up signs of emotional strain, a psychological red flag that a passenger may intend to commit an act of terror. Speedier and less intrusive than metal detectors, these systems may eventually restore some efficiency to the airplane boarding process. One firm, WeCU (pronounced "We See You") Technologies, employs a combination of infra-red technology, remote sensors and imagers, and flashing of subliminal images, such as a photo of Osama bin Laden. Developers say the combination of these technologies can detect a person's reaction to certain stimuli by reading body temperature, heart rate and respiration, signals a terrorist unwittingly emits before he plans to commit an attack. With these technologies, the emphasis is on speed and seamlessness. Ehud Givon, CEO of WeCU, envisions a day when a passenger can breeze through a security checkpoint in 20 to 30 seconds. Although traditional security profiling can discriminate by race and religion, security experts say behavioral profiling is more fair, more effective and less expensive. WeCU has received grants from the Transportation Security Administration within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which hopes to implement a system to pinpoint internal threats such as airline employees intending terrorist acts. Once these technologies are in place, a passenger may pass through a security screening without realizing it. For example, passengers could use an automated check-in system or gaze at a screen with departures information without realizing they've just been exposed to the words "Islamic jihad" written in Arabic. These stimuli, explains Givon, will intrinsically elicit some sort of biometric response -- whether the passenger knows it or not -- that can be picked up by WeCU's strategically placed sensors. "I believe that we introduce a new layer in security," Givon says. "This is something that couldn't be done in the past: finding the connection between a certain individual and the intent to harm." The Orwellian-sounding startup has gone further to develop a system that detects a passenger's behavioral intentions by scanning their every step, literally. While walking around certain parts of the airport terminal, a passenger may not realize he has stepped on a "smart carpet" filled with hidden biometric sensors. The technology is still under development, says Givon, who believes it will be strong enough to pick up biometric information from a footstep. If a passenger is wearing heavy hiking boots, for example, WeCU will rely on biometric sensors combined with video and thermal biometric imaging to detect malicious intent. Another option from WeCU is a "smart seat," or cushion full of hidden biometric sensors that could provide a more detailed read on someone sitting in an airport waiting area, Givon says. While the technology sound like something from a James Bond flick or even "A Clockwork Orange," Givon insists that passengers will not find the techniques intrusive. "We don't want you to feel that you are being interrogated," he says. Givon is negotiating contracts with airports worldwide and believes his company's technology may be implemented as soon as 2010. Nemesysco, another Israeli-based technology company, believes the key to a person's emotions and intentions lies in their voice. The company's patented LVA, or Layered Voice Analysis, technology can pick up verbal cues from a passenger who may pose a threat. Unlike a polygraph test, which checks for lies, Nemesysco's systems work as an "emotion detector," says Nemesysco CEO Amir Liberman. In other words, it's not what passengers say, but how they say it. Nemesysco's devices use a series of patented signal-processing algorithms that can differentiate between a "normal" voice and a"'stressed" voice. If emotional stress is detected, officials can determine if the passenger should be taken aside for further questioning. The system works on the premise that all voices have a certain frequency, and any deviation of that baseline frequency can indicate stress. Liberman says it takes approximately five to 10 seconds for their system to capture a "normal" voice in casual conversation, which establishes a baseline. Their system then measures changes from the baseline voice that signify an increase in stress, excitement, anticipation, hesitation or other emotions that can indicate a potential terrorism threat. A computer processes the voice patterns and then flashes words such as "high risk," "medium risk," "excited" and "highly stressed." Through his system, Liberman says, he "can see what's going on in your brain." Versions of Nemesysco's system already have been successfully tested at Moscow Domodedovo International Airport, where officials used it to target criminals and drug traffickers. A version was recently implemented at another major international airport which Liberman declined to identify. Layered Voice Analysis also has been used to test for insurance fraud and on the TV program "Big Brother Australia." Layered Voice Analysis has limitations, including the inability to trace the vocal patterns of a person with a speech impediment. But the system is more effective than current security measures, claims Liberman, who believes a terrorist currently can pass through airport security with explosive material "that can take down any plane." In fact, many experts express little confidence in the current state of airport security. Philip Baum, London-based editor of Aviation Security International magazine, says would-be terrorists could easily slip through security checkpoints, even with new regulations that check for liquids. "The archaic system of an X-ray machine and metal detector cannot pick up other potential threats posed by passengers," Baum says. "I can have a ceramic weapon or chemical weapons and walk through an archway metal detector and it won't be picked up. Yet we have huge faith in these metal detectors that can only pick up one substance." Laviv, whose consulting firm focuses on securing mass transportation systems, is equally skeptical. "It is possible today to hijack an aircraft using only five or six able-bodied passengers who are well-trained in Kung Fu fighting," he says. "There is no technology in place in airports to detect a threat like that. "The question is, should our desire be to look for each and every threat agent, rather than focus our efforts on identifying the [violent] intention of the passenger?"
Airport security screeners' focus is shifting towards studying passengers' intentions . Israeli companies have become leaders in developing security technology . Systems can detect signs of emotional strain, which may signal a passenger's intent . Other programs can study passengers' voice patterns for signs of stress .

By . Andy Welch . PUBLISHED: . 19:44 EST, 4 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 01:40 EST, 5 August 2013 . My landline rang. It was a Sunday morning and I was surprised because I’d given the number to only three people as I tended to use my mobile phone instead. ‘Hello Mr Welch, Visa Card Services here.’ That was the line with which my nightmare started. The person on the other end of the phone — Mark — told me there had been a number of fraudulent transactions on my bank account since midnight, adding up to about £1,100. What kind of fool? Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean looking like he'd hand his Visa card over to just about anybody . I’d never heard of Visa Card Services before, but then I’d never had money stolen like this before. Maybe this is what happens. Mark then confirmed the last genuine withdrawal I’d made — at a Barclays cashpoint in North London, opposite Highbury & Islington station. He then gave me a reference number and told me to ring the number on the back of my bank card. I did just that, quoted the reference number and spoke to someone who knew all about the supposed fraud. These cunning tricksters had apparently cloned my card at the ATM I’d used and then treated themselves to a few things in the Apple Store on Regent Street. Something didn’t ring true about the whole thing: why, for starters, would someone with a stolen bank card spend only £400 in the Apple Store? But I watch enough consumer TV to know these things happen. The person helping me, Rajesh Khan in HSBC’s card protection department, had my full name, date of birth and, crucially, my address. He said a courier was on the way to collect my bank card for further examination. Initially I flinched, but when he explained they needed to analyse the chip, it seemed to make sense. After all, I’d called the bank myself: this had to be genuine. And that is probably the same reason I typed my PIN into the keypad of my phone when he asked. I packaged the card as requested — wrapped in kitchen roll, packed into an envelope so it didn’t look like a bank card — and waited for the courier. Rajesh called back twice: once to say the car was five minutes away and again to say it was outside, quoting the car’s number plate and describing the driver. He called again later that afternoon to say they’d received the card and that I’d have my money back in a few days. ‘Great,’ I thought. So taken in was I by the efficiency of it all that I went through exactly the same process the following day when Visa Card Services called to say there was now a problem with my credit card. The fraudsters had somehow hacked into my online account, got my credit card details and maxed it out. Stalked: Police said Mr Welch was watched by the fraudsters as he withdrew cash, and they followed him home to find out his address. These were vital pieces of information in making him trust them . Precautions: After being conned out of £5,500, Andy has signed up to fraud prevention services . Good old Rajesh told me this time . there was a shred of hope the criminals would be arrested as they’d made . the mistake of buying Eurostar tickets to Paris on a specific train. The police would be waiting for them at St Pancras. Amazing news! A . few days went by and Rajesh stopped calling. By then I was about £4,000 . out of pocket, so I called the bank, this time from my mobile. After . explaining the situation to two or three people, I heard the most . chilling phrase of all: ‘But Mr Welch, your cards haven’t been reported . stolen.’ I’ve never been speechless before. I’ve never been able to feel the colour drain from my face either. But now I was, and I did. Why had I given my card to a stranger? Why had I typed my PIN into the phone? How did they know my landline number? How did they know my mother’s maiden name? How did they have my address? The police still haven’t been able to establish the answers to these last three questions, but say that such criminals are remarkably adept at gleaning personal information from the internet and the electoral roll. And, most infuriating of all, why hadn’t I checked my balance before I even called the bank that Sunday morning? When I did check, things were far worse than I’d expected. The Apple Store story was all a lie. In fact, they had spent thousands in clothes shops and, best of all, treated themselves to a Dixie Fried Chicken each evening. To cap it all off, my rent payment had bounced. By then, I was panicking. What if I didn’t get a refund? The security expert at the bank said this was a possibility. It would take me years to pay off debt like this. I called the police, who put me onto their dedicated fraud line. After explaining my idiocy once again — it’s pretty humbling, repeatedly telling people you’re the type of person who gives your bank card and PIN to the first person who asks for them — they went through the likely series of events that led to this theft. In the end, the total taken from my account was about £5,500. It all started, said the police, on the Saturday night when one of this gang will have watched me take money from the cashpoint. That’s details of my last transaction taken care of. The police then believe that I was followed home, which is how they got my address. My name and landline number they doubtless obtained with a bit of research online. As for the call, well, it’s pretty clever. Only the person who initiates a landline call can cut it off. If the person who receives the call puts down the receiver, it doesn’t hang up. So, when I went to find my bank card, the fraudsters were still on the other end, waiting for me to pick up the phone and call ‘the bank’. As I did this, they first played a dial tone down the line and then a ring tone. ‘Rajesh’ will have been sitting next to ‘Mark’, the first person who called me, no doubt both laughing their heads off at how stupid I’d been. I was right to praise the bank’s efficiency, though. They got me all my money back within ten days, though I did have to get new bank accounts and cards. It was a pretty lean spell and by the time I got my money back, I’d spent my last 60p on a tin of beans. My family and friends offered money, but I didn’t have a bank account for them to pay money into and there was a chance I had the sharp end of six grand to pay back, so I didn’t need to owe another £50 on top of that. The feeling of total financial ruin, of utter helplessness, isn’t one I’ll forget in a hurry. Setting up new direct debits was an unholy pain and even now, five months on, I’m still having problems. My credit rating has taken a serious knock, while getting the various bank departments to talk to one another and not try to charge me a few hundred quid in overdraft charges was no picnic. I’ve since had to sign up to a number of other bank schemes and government services to protect myself. I get a monthly statement of credit checks in my name, for example, so I’ll know if these  people are using the information they have on me. It took a few weeks to stop worrying about the same people coming back to my house, too, though spending hours online researching the link between bank fraud and violent crime — virtually non-existent — helped with that. Out of everything, accepting that it had happened at all probably took the longest. I’m still coming to terms with it, but I think being a bit more suspicious isn’t a bad thing. Being paranoid, though? Well, hopefully that will just wear off in time. I like to think I’m a tech-savvy, culturally aware person. I read about internet security. I know about phishing: criminals masquerading as a friend or business to dupe you into revealing your passwords or bank details. Yet all that knowledge left me when it counted. Financial fraud is often deemed a victimless crime because, ultimately, it’s only huge companies footing the bill, not individuals. Having suffered the stress, upset and countless hours spent sorting it out, I know it’s anything but victimless.
Fraudsters pretended to be working for Visa Card services . They said the bank card was cloned at an ATM and money had been withdrawn . After providing a convincing level of knowledge including passwords and account details, Welch handed his card over for inspection . They then took £5,500 from his account with his card which wasn't stolen int he first place .

(CNN) -- When five-year-old Xiao Ge starts primary school in Guangzhou next year, she won't endure strict discipline and mountains of homework. Unlike the school life of most children in China, her days will be filled with art, music and creative learning at a private Waldorf school. Xiao is part of a fast-growing number of Chinese children whose parents are turning their backs on the state-run education system, which is based on rote learning and limited critical thinking. Instead, they are choosing independently-run schools that use the Waldorf, Montessori, or Reggio Emilia pedagogies. Despite a lack of regulation over these schools, parents prefer the humanistic approach of these classrooms and the perceived softer learning environment. "Compared with studying under the public system, my daughter will get a healthier education and life here," says Xiao's mother, Lu Dan, when we met at the Hairong Waldorf School Xiao is attending in the southeastern city of Guangzhou. As we tour the school, headmaster Wei Yueling, casually dressed in a tweed jacket and sneakers, playfully grabs one of the students by the waist and spins her in the air, making other kids scream with laughter. At a state-run school, a similar scene of student-teacher bonding would be next to unthinkable. Global attention . China has undeniably gained the world's attention for outstanding academic performance. Shanghai's 15-year olds lead in mathematics, science and reading, as seen in the 2013 Pisa survey by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, rating the performance of children across 65 regions. Urban Chinese families are particularly invested in their children's education. Don Starr, a lecturer at Britain's Durham University, points out in a research paper that these families spend more than 30% of their household income on their children's education, compared to 2% in the UK. But the "tiger mom, wolf dad" approach to education is not without consequence. Chinese youth suffer higher levels of depression and lower self-esteem than their peers elsewhere. Last autumn, a 10-year-old boy in the city of Chengdu reportedly jumped 30 floors to his death after failing to write a 1,000-word letter of self-criticism demanded by his teacher. Perhaps in reaction to this phenomenon, China has seen a major expansion of alternative teaching establishments. These schools emphasize a holistic approach to education and use qualitative assessment methods, especially for kindergarten and primary school students. While there are no official figures for the current number of alternative schools in China, headmaster Wei estimates that some 40 schools and as many as 500 kindergartens operate across the country. His own primary school and three kindergartens in Guangzhou have about 300 students, each paying CNY40,000 (US$6,500) a year, with 300 more queuing to get in. Education for the whole family . For Lu Dan and her husband, their choice of school is about much more than their daughter's education. The Waldorf philosophy can be embraced by the whole family. With a focus on developing free-thinking and morally responsible individuals, the humanistic Waldorf concepts offer a sense of relief from the purely materialistic lifestyle that many of the country's new middle class have been caught up in. Two years ago, Lu attended a Waldorf workshop where she met Wei. She recalls becoming immediately captivated by the philosophy. "It was like a calling, like realizing your destiny," Lu says. "Waldorf became the start of a more relaxed and happier life." One of the first things the family did was to get rid of their television and computer games, which immediately opened up plenty of time for "real life and real play," says Lu. They are far from alone. Some 40 families have moved to the area where the school is, creating a community for like-minded people. Many parents volunteer for the school, which regularly hosts workshops on Waldorf education and related topics, often featuring experts from abroad. Headmaster Wei studied the Waldorf pedagogy in 2007, after which he left his nine-year career as a photographer to open his first kindergarten. He observes that many parents come to his school with a desire to change their lives, but not knowing how. "I speak to parents who don't know how to play with their children anymore. They just put them in front of the television screen," he says. "Often the father is working so much and comes home so late at night that the child hardly knows they live in the same apartment. After coming to our school they learn good ways to be with their children. They get more quality out of life. Waldorf is a therapeutic form of education that can help the whole family." Doubts over authenticity . Some say, however, that alternative schools are proliferating out of control. There are few regulations around the growth of these private schools. The U.S.-based Montessori Foundation and the Association of Waldorf Schools both offer online courses for those interested in starting a school. Teacher education programs are also available involving at least one year of study. However, as the demand for these schools go up in China, some are hastily opened without a full understanding of the philosophy behind the brands. Gina Lofquist, the director of the Montessori education program at Xavier University in the U.S., sees the number of Montessori schools explode in China, but doubts that there are enough qualified teachers to fill the new classrooms. "I've been to so-called Montessori preschools where there was not a trace of Montessori material," says Lofquist. "Instead, they had a big flat screen television in the middle of the room, something that goes totally against our beliefs. There's no way to train enough teachers for all those new schools. A lot of money is being made from these franchises but the parents are not getting what they pay for." The same situation can be seen at other private schools, including Waldorfs, according to several teachers and parents in Guangzhou and Hong Kong that we spoke with. Despite the growing interest in alternative education forms, most Chinese parents are still reluctant to hop on the bandwagon. The biggest fear is that opting out of the state-run system will lower their child's chances at passing the notorious "gaokao," the national college entrance exam that determines which Chinese university a student will enter. Lu Ziwen, professor of English language at Central China Normal University and a member of the state English curriculum standard team, is far from convinced by alternative education. Less homework, he argues, is not the path to future success. "Many parents think that you should not let the child lose at the starting line," he says, referring to a popular proverb. All this seems far removed from Xiao Ge who is happily playing on the swings in the school playground, unconcerned about future exams and career prospects. Instead, she is putting all her energy into being just a child.
Chinese parents seeking alternatives to rote learning in state-run schools for their young children . Holistic education philosophies affect not only the student, but the student's family lifestyle as well . Lack of regulation over new alternative schools may become a problem .

BERLIN, Germany (CNN) -- U.S. officials urged American citizens in Germany to keep a low profile and remain wary of their surroundings after the terrorist organization al Qaeda posted a video message threatening attacks in the country. German special police patrol in Berlin last month during a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu. A State Department travel alert, issued Wednesday, remains in effect until November 11 -- two weeks after Germany holds its federal elections on Sunday. Al Qaeda posted its video threat on the Internet on September 18, vowing attacks if the elections do not come out the way it wants. The same day, the German government reacted to the video by raising its own alert level and heightening security. The British Foreign Office has also issued an advisory to its citizens living and traveling to Germany. The State Department travel alert asks Americans to keep abreast of news reports and consider the security procedures in place when they visit public places or pick hotels and restaurants. Germany's interior ministry said earlier this month that the country has noted an increase in threats by al Qaeda and other Islamist groups since the beginning of the year. In the nearly 26-minute video statement, a man identified as Bekay Harrach, using the pseudonym Abu Talha and speaking in German, said that, if the September 27 elections vote into power parties that do not pledge to pull German troops from Afghanistan, there will be a "rude awakening." The speaker called on Muslims living in Germany to stay away from public life during the first two weeks after the elections, implying that any attacks would take place then. The speaker repeatedly criticized German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also criticized Merkel's rivals, the Social Democrats, but offered the possibility of a "peace offer." "If the German people vote for peace, then the Mujahedeen will choose peace with Germany as well," he said. "And with the withdrawal of the last German soldier from Afghanistan, the last Mujahed will also leave Germany. Al Qaeda gives you their word."

Ester Levanon rejects the notion of "having it all." The head of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange says women should do whatever feels right for them, not what society thinks is best. "I don't believe I have to prove to the world that I am a success only because I have a husband and two children and two grandchildren," says Levanon, who split childcare with her husband while head of the Israeli Security Service's computer division. "That's me, that's my life, that's what I wanted to do." After graduating from Hebrew University with a Masters in math, Levanon was was scouted to join the Israeli Security Service (Shin Bet) in 1973 while working at a software company. The service was in the early stages of computerization, and Levanon, whose brother was killed in the Yom Kippur war, wanted to do something "more than just work." "It really appealed to me, because I felt I could serve my country," she says. She spent 12 years with the service, initially as a consultant, but eventually launching its IT division. She says being the first and only female manager at the Israeli Security Service was not as difficult as convincing the organization that it needed to adopt new technology. "They knew absolutely nothing about IT," she recalls. "More than that, they really hated the idea." Levanon also brought wide-sweeping technology adoption to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, which she joined as Chief Information Officer in 1986 before becoming CEO in 2006. The exchange, which includes more than 600 companies -- more than 50 dual-listed on the NASDAQ -- now offers automated trading, clearing and settlement. In January, it was one of several Israeli businesses attacked by hackers, who managed to crash the exchange's website, although not its trading system. In 2010, the exchange was upgraded from emerging to developed market status by index provider MSCI Inc and this year also topped Bloomberg's Riskless Return Rankings of developed markets. Here, the 65-year-old tells CNN about Israel's tight-knit business community, the sector she's most excited by, and what she's learned about children. On "having it all" ... It's pure nonsense. I don't know the meaning of 'have it all.' Everyone should have what they would like to have. If someone becomes a manager and she doesn't have a family, I don't think that she doesn't have it all. Maybe that's the way she likes things. (People) should do what they believe is right, not what society believes is right for them. More from Leading Women: Female racer's lessons from life in the fast lane . On childcare ... My husband and I split the responsibility, and we were helped by other people from time to time. We both managed to have careers. But that was so uncommon at the time that, at first, I pitied myself and said "I'm working harder and look at the men!" And then, I realized that he's paying a higher price. I don't believe he looked at it as a sacrifice. That's the life we built together and it was very natural. Each couple builds its own life; that's what we did. When (my sons) were 10 and 12, one of them complained that all of his friends come back (from school) knowing they have their mothers at home. Why am I not there? His brother told him, "If she wants to succeed and have a better job, she must work harder." I found out two things about children. First of all, they will always complain. If the mother is always home, they will complain. If she's not at home, they will complain. Second, I believe that my sons are very proud of what I achieve. I have to tell you that one time I stayed at home for one week and they went crazy. I started playing mother, asking them all kinds of questions I never asked. They wanted me out of the house. On Israel ... In about 64 years, we managed to come from nothing to being a developed market. Israelis are hard workers and they invest a lot. When you don't have natural resources, you need brain resources, and that's how the hi-tech community and the biotech community came to life. One of the things you see in Israel is everyone knows everyone. So, if you are looking for someone bright, you either met him during your army service or someone knows someone. They say you need three contacts to know anyone in the world -- in Israel, you need one. On the Eurozone ... What should happen is that the citizens will realize that they have to pay in order to bring Greece back to what it used to be and what it should be. As long as they are not willing to pay the price, everyone has a problem. I wish I knew what the solution is. That would make me a hero. But we probably will all have to be patient. More from Leading Women: Saudi female entrepreneurs exploit changing attitudes . On biomedical investment ... A very interesting sector. It's the future of the world, I believe. That's what's going to save the human race. On having a mathematics degree ... Being a mathematician always appeals to everyone. They are so afraid of those who really understand mathematics. On being the Israeli Security Service's first female manager ... They always treated me as an equal, but they also told me I am not an example. It doesn't mean that now they believe that women can do it. I never knew whether to treat that as a compliment or an insult. I decided it was a compliment.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 11:32 EST, 4 March 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 12:54 EST, 4 March 2014 . An 81-year-old Florida woman has been jailed indefinitely pending a mental evaluation after being caught repeatedly feeding wild animals. Mary Musselman, a retired gym teacher from Sebring in Highlands County, will be kept behind bars for violating the terms of her probation, a judge ordered Tuesday morning, according to Fox 13. Musselman has a history of run-ins with wildlife officers and police over feeding bears in and near her backyard. She is accused of leaving out up to 18 bowls of dog food for one to three bears at a time. Scroll down for video . Elderly Florida woman Mary Musselman has been ordered to undergo a mental evaluation after refusing to stop feeding wild animals in her backyard, which officials say is dangerous to the community . Mary Musselman seen here appearing in court last month looking frail. She agreed to an order saying she will not feed wild animals, specifically bears, but was then allegedly caught leaving bread out for crows . Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission officials believe feeding bears results in the animals losing their fear of humans and actively try to stop it, ABC Action News reported. The officials became aware that Musselman, a fierce animal lover, was feeding a single bear and claim to have 'gone the extra mile' to educate her against it. They dropped off videos and pamphlets and would routinely call past her home. 'She told us she wasn't going to stop,' Gary Morse, FWC spokesperson told ABC Action News. Musselman was issued a warning on November 8, but continued feeding the bear. FWC officers went back to her property on November 19 and reported that Musselman was feeding two more bears. They gave her more educational videos. On December 4 she was issued with a court notice for December 6. Scene: Mary Musselman is accused of leaving up to 18 bowls of dog food out for some wild bears in her backyard in Sebring, Florida . Wildlife officials say it is dangerous to feed wild bears because it stops their fear of humans . The judge ordered her to stop feeding all wild animals and FWC officers were ordered to check on her residence weekly. According to FWC officers, on December 24, Musselman again appeared in court and admitted feeding two to three bears large amounts of food. 'We are talking about putting out as many as 17 or 18 bowls of dog food,' Morse explained. A judge found her guilty of two counts of feeding wildlife and was placed on probation for one year. On December 29, FWC officers say they found evidence Musselman was continuing to feed bears. A judge then ordered FWC officers to arrest her. According to Morse, when FWC officers arrested Musselman, she threatened to kill the officers and resisted. 'She didn't want to accept that fact that they'd be fine without her...they hibernate when there is no food,' Morse added. Mary Musselman, 81, a retired gym teacher, reportedly suffers from dementia . After spending a week in jail, Musselman was released on bond and ordered to appear in court on March 3. However on January 31, officers issued a new arrest after visiting her home and seeing that food had been left out. Musselman's attorney, William Fletcher, said that it was bread left out for crows. However police said that still violated Musselman's court order not to feed any wild animals. Musselman appeared in court today looking frail. Fletcher said a medical evaluation concluded that she suffers from Alzheimer's and dementia, and he requested that the judge place her in alternate housing, such as her brother's home in Illinois. The judge, however, said he wanted a more complete mental evaluation and ordered Musselman to be held in a secure facility until then, so she will remain behind bars.

By . Freya Noble . A group of lucky surfers had a very close encounter with a large whale on Sydney's northern beaches on Sunday. However they were warned to steer clear of the southern right whale as they were spotted just metres from the huge marine mammal at Freshwater beach. Footage from the Nine News helicopter showed the group surrounding the creature as it slowly swam and splashed near the surface. Scroll down for video . Stay back: Surfers were warned over the loudspeakers at Freshwater Beach on Sydney's norther beaches to keep their distance from the southern right whale on Sunday . One surfer can be seen trying to make a quick escape when the whale made a sharp turn towards it, while others hung back and watched the whale from a distance. The southern right looked to be in a playful mood, rolling around in the water and flicking its tail. According to government guidelines swimmers should not be closer than 30 metres to a whale, while surfers and boats are required to keep a distance of at least 100 metres. The southern right whales are often spotted along the NSW coastline at this time of year . Freshwater resident Ian Hansen told Fairfax he first noticed the whale because it was surrounded by surfers. 'To be honest they were harassing it a bit. They were so close and it had no room to move... If I was the fish I'd be harassed too. It'd move a bit and they'd back off,' he said. The surfers were reportedly told to increase their distance from the whale over the loudspeakers at Freshwater Surf Lifesaving Club. Surfers are supposed to stay 100m away from whales, as are boats, while swimmers are meant to keep a distance of 30m . The club president Wayne Frankly also spoke to the publication, and told them he was worried people were so close as a surfer was hospitalised last year after a run in with the same breed of whale at Bondi. 'The whale was within the confines of our beach, just having a sticky beak and some riders went out to have a look,' Mr Freakly said. Southern right whales usually measure between 14 and 18 metres long and can weigh up to 80 tonnes. They are often found in shallow water, are known to have encounters with surfers and are spotted on the NSW coastline at this time of year during migration. Southern right whales can measure up to 16 metres and weigh up to 80 tonnes .

By . Jill Reilly . Trayvon Martin’s friend Rachel Jeantel has been offered a full scholarship by radio host Tom Joyner. While some looked at murder trial witness Rachel Jeantel and saw either a defiant young woman or a victim, Mr Joyner looked at her and saw potential. The nationally syndicated radio personality and philanthropist says he was touched by Jeantel, who spent two days testifying in the trial of George Zimmerman about her last conversation with her friend Trayvon Martin. Taking the stand: Rachel Jeantel giving her testimony to the prosecution during George Zimmerman's trial . Offer: Mr Joyner was so moved that he has offered to pay for Jeantel to attend a historically black college of her choice . Mr Joyner was so moved that he has offered to pay for Jeantel to attend a historically black college of her choice - which she has accepted. Mr Joyner explained the offer in an open letter to Jeantel and 'all the young people in this country who, through no fault of their own, find yourself living in underserved communities and not yet figuring out your way in this world.' 'I realized a hug wasn't enough,' Joyner wrote in the letter posted Wednesday on BlackAmericaWeb.com. Wednesday night, Mr Joyner and Jeantel appeared on Headline News, where she thanked the talk-show host. Asked if she would accept his offer, she said simply, 'I will.' No details were discussed. 'Whatever her future is going to be, I want to help her,' Joyner said on Headline News. 'You stand a better chance of success if you have a college education.' Jeantel was the last person to talk . to the 17-year-old before he was fatally shot in a February 2012 . confrontation with Zimmerman, who claimed he shot Martin in . self-defense. Zimmerman, 29, was acquitted last week of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. Jeantel, 19, has yet to graduate from high school. Before attending college, she would have to get a diploma and take . entrance exams. Joyner also offered to provide her with tutors to . accomplish those goals. Mr Joyner explained the offer in an open letter to Jeantel and 'all the young people in this country who, through no fault of their own, find yourself living in underserved communities and not yet figuring out your way in this world' 'We are committed to meeting you . where you are, helping you to get your GED and prepping you for the . historically black college or university of your choice,' Joyner wrote . in the letter. Joyner has supported historically black colleges and students who attend them through the Tom Joyner Foundation.

Last call: Jeantel was the last person to talk to the 17-year-old, right,  before he was fatally shot in a February 2012 confrontation with Zimmerman,  left, who claimed he shot Martin in self-defense . Mr Joyner wrote that he'd only ask in return that Jeantel try to make a difference in someone's life. 'Time and time again, we watch our young people get written off, tossed aside or put at the end of the line because no one wants to give them a chance,' he said. Joyner has provided full scholarships in the past to others, including Genarlow Wilson, who at age 17 was sentenced to 10 years in prison for engaging in sex acts with a 15-year-old girl. Wilson's conviction was ultimately overturned by the Georgia Supreme Court, and he graduated from Morehouse College in May with a degree in sociology. Police arrested 17 people in .

Tottenham fans who chant the Y-word at White Hart Lane will no longer be arrested - unless an official complaint is made against them. But opposition fans who sing anti-Semitic holocaust songs at Tottenham fans at the ground will still face charges, the Metropolitan police have announced. Constable Steve Payne, Football Intelligence for the Met, told the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust (THST) of the development at a meeting last Monday. Last September the FA warned that using the Y-word was 'derogatory and offensive' and could amount to a criminal offence - and that Tottenham fans could face arrest for singing it. Victory: Tottenham fans who chant the Y-word at home games will not be arrested by the police . Tottenham fans have always insisted that they never use the Y-word maliciously, and a THST statement issued after the FA's warnings said:  'THST is categorically against ejections and banning orders for use of the term by Tottenham supporters in a match environment. 'Our view has always been that should Spurs’ fans’ use of the Y** identity come to an end, this should be as a result of the feeling among the Spurs community that it was time to move on. 'This issue has always been of the utmost importance to us and while we recognise that Spurs fans use of the Y-word and associated identity may have caused some upset to members of the Jewish community, we sincerely believe no Spurs fan uses the term in a malicious way. We do not in any way condone racist language being used by football fans. 'The word ‘Y**' was adopted over 30 years ago by Spurs fans to combat racist abuse aimed towards them at football by opposing fans. It developed into a strong identity status that brought Jewish and non-Jewish Spurs fans together in an incredible show of unity that is admired worldwide. That is what fighting racism within football should be about.' On March 7 the Crown Prosecution Service discontinued cases made against three Totttenham fans arrested for using the Y-word. Eight arrests were made last season for racially aggravated offences at White Hart Lane.
Fans will only be arrested if a complaint is made against them . Away fans who chant Y-word will still be arrested . Move announced by Met Police at a meeting with club's supporters trust . Previously FA had warned using the term was 'derogatory and offensive'

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 13:57 EST, 20 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 13:57 EST, 20 March 2013 . Lance Armstrong kicked back with Willie Nelson last night, clearly making the most of his time since admitting that he won numerous cycling titles with the help of doping and performance-enhancing drugs. The disgraced athlete shared with his Twitter followers that he had met the country crooner and his wife Annie Nelson for dinner last night in Texas. The cyclist is on an apparent PR blitz as he tries to rebuild his image following his notorious confession to Oprah Winfrey back in January. Bros: Lance Armstrong poses with country music legend Willie Nelson in a photo posted to Twitter on Tuesday night . Armstrong posted a photo from the friendly meeting, saying: 'Fun dinner with Annie and @willienelson. Lost my #mellow hat to Willie tho. Great man, great friend, great Texan.' The 'mellow' hat worn by Nelson in the photo is emblazoned with the logo for Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop in Austin, Texas, which is owned by Armstrong. Speculation has grown about whether Armstrong will face charges relating to his history of doping. He is also waiting for a number of things to resolve themselves - one federal investigation did not result in charges - but there are two more that are forthcoming. Armstrong has been sued by former teammate Floyd Landis and he is reportedly being investigated by the FBI for witness tampering, obstruction of justice and intimidation. Dallas-based production company SCA Promotions is suing for $12million in bonuses and the Sunday Times of London wants $1.5m back it paid him in a libel settlement. Singer and the cyclist: Nelson and Armstrong have both faced legal mishaps involving drugs . Nelson is also no stranger in legal issues relating to drugs, as he's been arrested numerous times for marijuana possession. He openly lobbies for legalization of cannabis. A week ago, Armstrong looked eager to get back into the public eye at Mastro's restaurant in Beverly Hills, days after it was reported that two films about his life are currently in development. The restaurant is a known celebrity hangout that's always teaming with paparazzo. Perhaps that was Armstrong's goal, as he happily agreed to take photos with young fans who stopped him outside. TMZ has reported that Armstrong was asked about the two biopics - one by J.J. Abrams for Paramount and another by Jay Roach for Warner Bros. - but he would not comment. Photo op: Armstrong looked eager to get back into the public eye at Mastro's restaurant in Beverly Hills last week, days after it was reported that two films about his life are currently in development . Earlier this month, Armstrong stirred controversy when he claimed in a magazine interview that the public will forgive him for being one of the most notorious drug cheats in the history of sports - just like they did Bill Clinton for his affair while in office. Armstrong said that he saw the former president's rehabilitation as a model for his own, and he'll be back on top in a decade. Speaking to Texas Monthly, he said: 'Ultimately, people forgive and forget and remember the good stuff you did. 'Is it hard to do? Yeah. But Clinton did it - he loves to work, he loves people, he loves to hustle. ‘He's . a hero of mine. He's a tough guy, he's smart, surrounded himself with . good people. And ten years later, he's president of the world. It can be . done.' Confession: Armstrong revealed in a January interview with Oprah Winfrey that he did take performance enhancing drugs to secure his Tour de France wins .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . A mother who lost her two young sons and her entire house in last weekends Arkansas tornado says she still believes that God is 'good'. Daniel and April Smith moved to Vilonia, Arkansas with their two young boys last fall, but last Sunday their beautiful life was rip apart as third-grader Cameron and first-grader Tyler Smith, were killed when the tornado destroyed the family’s home. Their parents Daniel and April Smith were seriously injured. The whole family were sheltering beneath a mattress in a bathtub last Sunday evening when the violent twister obliterated their home. Faith: Last weeks Arkansas tornado provided many tales of both survival and grief. One mother, April Smith, who lost two sons to the storm but she still says she has kept her faith in God . Torn apart: April Smith, Vilonia tornado survivor, lost sons Cameron & Tyler in the storm, which also seriously injured her husband, Daniel . Before tragedy struck: April Smith's injuries include two broken legs and a fractured pelvis . Daniel suffered head trauma and is recovering at a separate Little Rock hospital from his wife. Despite the incredible pain and suffering the family is having to endure, a visit to April's hospital by her friend Jessica Sowards has revealed a mother who has shown remarkable courage and forgiveness after everything she has had to endure. Jessica took a photo of April laying in her hospital bed. 'Within 10 minutes of arriving at the hospital, I realized she was the same strong person, even stronger,' Ms. Sowards told Yahoo News. 'She said, ‘I’m going to miss them so bad, but I know that they’re OK. I don’t understand this, but I trust God.’' Ms. Sowards, 28, spent part of her visit lying next to her friend, as the two cried. Right for one another: Daniel and April Smith moved to Arkansas to start a beautiful family life together . Lost boys: First-grader Tyler Smith and third-grader Cameron Smith were killed Sunday when a tornado decimated their house in Vilonia, Arkansas . Perfect home, perfect life: The Smiths had the perfect family home in Arkansas . 'She is in a tremendous amount of emotional pain,' Ms. Sowards said. 'But she is not in despair. There’s a difference, and the difference is Christ.' Before leaving, Sowards asked Smith, 28, if she wanted her to take her photo in case she someday wanted to go public with how she persevered. The grieving mother agreed with one stipulation. 'Show them now,' Mrs Smith said from her hospital bed. “Show them what my God can overcome. Show them now.' Wiped away: The house was simply blown away by the devastating force of the tornado . Blessings: April Smith's sons Tyler and Cameron were the light of their lives . Seeing the light: April, who leads her church¿s deaf ministry, cried tears of joy in her hospital bed on Thursday night . Ms. Sowards went home and blogged about her friend’s incredible optimism in the face of adversity. 'For those of you who have been worried about April and Daniel, worried that they would not be the same, that they could not carry on past this loss, please don’t worry any more. I have seen her hope. It is anchored in eternity. It is the kind of hope that saves people. And that’s not just the optimist in me talking. For those of you wondering how a mother could serve a God that might allow this, understand that Tyler and Cameron knew Jesus. Just a couple of weeks ago, they led a friend to Christ. They aren’t over. Their story hasn’t reached the end. They aren’t even really gone. They’ve just moved for now. And we will miss them. Like April told Tyler on his last day on earth, we will miss them until we see them again, April and Daniel more than any of us. While none of us understand it, we must take up her lead and know that even still, God is good. And we must understand that while we may love these boys, . Divine intervention: April is a spiritual person and believes there is a reason that God broke her beautiful family apart . Devotion: April has devoted her life to the church and it seems her faith in The Lord is just as strong . God loves them infinitely more. He loves them perfectly. And with his knowledge of the lives and futures of the Smiths, God took them home.' Her faith just lifted this huge weight of pain off of me, and I knew that I couldn’t keep that to myself,' she wrote. Ms.Sowards put a link to her blog post on her Facebook wall. Within an hour, the story had 7,000 page views. In two hours, it was 21,000. By the end of the day, it had grown to 400,000. The post has now been viewed more than 1.5 million times. 'I thought I was writing for my friend to feel some relief,' Ms Sowards said. She says she is getting inundated with messages from people who say the story has inspired them to make or renew their own spiritual connections. April, who leads her church’s deaf ministry, cried tears of joy in her hospital bed Thursday night. Tyler was 7.Cameron was 9. The boys loved baseball, fishing and God . Cameron also enjoyed hunting, getting his first crack during deer season last year . Family friend Eric Hancock said Tyler, 'was a pistol, with more energy than any 16 people I know.' 'He was just a light in the world,' he said.
Thanks to a blog post by Jessica Lane Sowards, the world is learning about the lives of two victims . Cameron, 9, and Tyler Smith, 7, were killed during last weeks tornado . The blog tells of how their mother, April, has shown 'unwavering faith' 'Show them what my God can overcome,' says woman who lost both sons . Posting has received more than 1.5 million views .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . Last updated at 2:57 PM on 30th July 2011 . In an unforgiving display of partisanship, the Republican-controlled House approved emergency legislation Friday night to avoid an unprecedented government default and Senate Democrats scuttled it less than two hours later in hopes of a better deal.'We are almost out of time' for a compromise, warned President Barack Obama as U.S. financial markets trembled at the prospect of economic chaos next week. The Dow Jones average fell for a sixth straight session.Lawmakers in both parties said they were determined to avoid a default, yet there was little evidence of progress — or even significant negotiations — on a compromise during a long day of intense political maneuvering.The House vote was 218-210, almost entirely along party lines, on a Republican-drafted bill to provide a quick $900 billion increase in U.S. borrowing authority — essential to allow the government to continue paying all its bills — along with $917 billion in cuts from federal spending. Team talk: House Speaker John Boehner speaks on Thursday with Jeb Henserling, far left, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, second left, Renee Ellmers, third left, and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, right . Update: President Barack Obama speaks on the U.S. debt ceiling talks at the White House today . That marked a concession to tea . party-backed conservatives and others in the rank and file who had . thwarted House Speaker John Boehner's attempt to pass the bill Thursday . night. 'Today we have a chance to end this debt limit crisis,' Boehner . declared, his endgame strategy upended by rebels within his own party. But the changes he made to the House GOP bill further alienated . Democrats. And they complicated prospects of a compromise that could . clear both houses and win Obama's signature by next Tuesday's deadline. At the other end of the Capitol, Senate Democrats rejected the measure . without so much as a debate. The vote was 59-41, with all Democrats, two . independents and six Republicans joining in opposition. Moments later, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., unveiled an . alternative that would cut spending by $2.4 trillion and raise the debt . limit by the same amount, enough to meet Obama's terms that it tide the . Treasury over until 2013. Reid invited Republicans to suggest changes, saying, "This is likely our last chance to save this nation from default." The Senate GOP leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, accused Democrats of . 'rounding up 'no' votes to keep this crisis alive, and noted the House . had passed two bills to raise the debt limit and the Senate none.

Worried faces: Traders work on the main trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange in Manhattan on Friday . The House, eager to return the Senate's favor rejecting the Boehner . bill, set a vote to reject Reid's proposal on Saturday. The Senate set a . test vote at about 1 a.m. on Sunday, a middle-of-the-night roll call . that underscored the limited time available to lawmakers. At the same time Reid appealed for bipartisanship, he and other party . leaders accused Boehner of caving in to extremists in the GOP ranks — . "the last holdouts of the tea party," Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois . called them. Republicans conceded that the overnight delay had weakened Boehner's hand in the endgame with Obama and Senate Democrats. But the Ohio Republican drew applause from his rank and file when he . said the House, alone, had advanced legislation to cut deficits, and . that he had "stuck his neck out" in recent weeks in hopes of concluding a . sweeping deficit reduction deal with Obama. Fifteen Trillion Dollars: This graphic from WTFnoway.com shows the value of $15,000,000,000,000, which is around the value of the $14.3trillion debt limit . Boehner's measure would provide a quick $900 billion increase in . borrowing authority — essential for the U.S. to keep paying all its . bills after next Tuesday — and $917 billion in spending cuts. After the . bill's latest alteration, any future increases in the debt limit would . be contingent on Congress approving the constitutional amendment and . sending it to the states for ratification. "With conservatives insisting on the addition of a balanced-budget . amendment requirement, Speaker Boehner's bill will now cut, cap and . balance" federal spending, said Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona as Friday's . scheduled vote approached. The White House called the bill a nonstarter. Press secretary Jay Carney . issued a statement that called it a "political exercise" and said . congressional leaders should turn their efforts to a compromise that . Obama can sign by Tuesday. The developments occurred one day after Boehner was forced to postpone a . vote in the House for fear the earlier version of his measure would . suffer a defeat. But by forcing a delay the conservative rebels upended . the leadership's strategy of making their bill the only one that could . clear Congress before a default and win Obama's reluctant signature. "Everybody acknowledges that because of the dust-up yesterday we've lost . some leverage," said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio, an ally of the . speaker. The rebels said they were more worried about stemming the nation's steady rise of red ink. Rep. Jeff Landry, R-La., a, a first-term lawmaker, issued a statement saying his pressure had paid off. "The American people have strongly renewed their November calls of . bringing fiscal sanity to Washington. I am blessed to be a vehicle . driving their wishes to fruition," he said. "This plan is not a . Washington deal but a real solution to fundamentally change the way . Washington operates." Administration officials say that without legislation in place by . Tuesday, the Treasury will no longer be able to pay all its bills. The . result could inflict significant damage on the economy, they add, . causing interest rates to rise and financial markets to sink. Executives from the country's biggest banks met with U.S. Treasury . officials to discuss how debt auctions will be handled if Congress fails . to raise the borrowing limit before Tuesday's deadline. One Billion Dollars: This graphic from WTFnoway.com shows how $1,000,000,000 appears physically . One Hundred Million Dollars: This graphic from WTFnoway.com shows $100,000,000 in physical form . But Carney said the administration did not plan to provide the public . with details Friday on how the government will prioritize payments. The day's economic news wasn't very upbeat to begin with — an economy . that grew at an annual rate of only 1.3 percent in the second quarter of . the year. The Dow Jones industrial average suffered through a sixth straight day . of losses, and bond yields fell as investors sought safer investments in . the event of a default. At the White House, Obama cited the potential toll on the economy as he urged lawmakers to find a way out of gridlock. He said that for all the partisanship, the two sides were not that far . apart. Both agree on initial spending cuts to take effect in exchange . for an increase in the debt limit, he said, as well as on a way to . consider additional reductions in government benefit programs in the . coming months. Hands out: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi speaks about the debt ceiling and budget negotiations in Washington D.C. on Thursday, stating that the delay in decision-making 'must end now' My way: Democratic Leader Harry Reid's plan, backed by President Obama, would cut $2.2 trillion from the deficit over 10 years without raising taxes and extend the debt ceiling through next year . "And if we need to put in place some kind of enforcement mechanism to . hold us all accountable for making these reforms, I'll support that, . too, if it's done in a smart and balanced way," he said. That went to the crux of the conflict — his insistence that Congress . raise the government's borrowing authority by enough to avoid a repeat . of the current crisis during the heat of the 2012 election campaigns. Republicans have resisted, accusing him of injecting purely political considerations into the debt limit negotiations. But Boehner's failure to line up the votes for his legislation Thursday night seemed to embolden Democrats. Obama asked his 9.4 million followers on Twitter to send tweets to Republican lawmakers.

(CNN) -- Lewis Hamilton realistically can't win the title but the former world champion hopes to challenge powerhouse Sebastian Vettel at the Korean Grand Prix after posting the fastest practice times Friday. Hamilton's time of one minute, 38.673 seconds in the second session in Yeongam was about one-tenth of a second quicker than Vettel, the triple reigning world champion who has captured the last two races in Korea. "It's the first time I can remember that second practice has really gone well for me," Mercedes' Hamilton was quoted as saying by Formula One's website. "We haven't changed anything but the day just went smoothly and all the processes with the team worked well. I love this track." Vettel admitted there was "some room for improvement" in his Red Bull. "It will be close with Mercedes," he told Formula One's website. "Of course we're not sure what others were doing with their fuel loads today, but it seems close ahead of tomorrow's qualifying. "I like the track here, it's a shame it's so far from Seoul, which is a great city, but it's good coming here as it's quieter than some other races, which means we can focus on our job." The only driver with half-a-chance of catching Vettel, Fernando Alonso, was a distant seventh in the second session. He trails Vettel by 60 points with a mere six races remaining and admitted this week he needed a comeback similar to Oracle Team USA's in the America's Cup sailing to overtake the German. But Alonso didn't sound optimistic Friday. "There is every probability that, again here, we can expect to struggle in the race," Ferrari's Alonso told Formula One's website. "It won't be easy for us in performance terms, but we know that apart from that, we can do well on Sunday. Now, we must try and get the most out of what we have available and put everything together tomorrow and in the race." Kimi Raikkonen, Alonso's teammate next season, crashed in the first practice session but was unhurt.

(Mashable) -- The patent war between Facebook and Yahoo may be only just starting. A new report says Facebook has acquired 750 patents from computer-systems giant IBM. The news comes shortly after Yahoo sued Facebook for patent infringement over 10 of its software patents. A "person with knowledge of the transaction" tipped the news to Bloomberg Businessweek, though the deal hasn't been made public yet. Compared to other tech companies, Facebook's arsenal of patents is rather meager: The company has just 56 patents compared with the thousands stockpiled by the likes of Microsoft and Apple. However, the report says, Facebook has applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for at least 500 more. Apparently it didn't want to wait for those to be approved and chose to take a shortcut in stocking up its patent portfolio. The lawsuit from Yahoo, which has recently had a wholesale change in management and is expected to announce layoffs, likely provided the motivation. See also: Tech industry scorns Yahoo over Facebook patent suit . Many tech companies are now using patents strategically to both generate revenue and discourage competition. For example, Google licenses many patents from Microsoft in the making of the Android platform, which provides a steady cash flow for Microsoft. In other cases, such as the many patent lawsuits between Apple and Samsung, patents are used to shut competitors out of entire regions (though that's rarely the outcome). IBM has been friendly in selling patents to younger tech companies in the past. In January, Google bought 217 patents from the IBM, including one for a "semantic social network." Reps from Facebook didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. An IBM rep declined comment. What do you think of Facebook's patent grab? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Baghdad (CNN) -- Every day that Abu Yaqoub opens his Baghdad liquor store, he believes it may be his last. It's a fear that began months ago for 45-year-old Yaqoub, when insurgents began bombing primarily minority-owned liquor stores in the Iraqi capital after officials rescinded a law banning the sale of alcohol. But in recent weeks as the attacks have mounted in both scope and ferocity, so, too, has Yaqoub's fear. It's not clear who is attacking the stores, though the reasons invoked by stores owners, authorities and lawmakers are as varied as the problems facing Iraq: from political to social, from religious to secular. "It's the most dangerous job to have a liquor store in Baghdad because there are many groups against this kind of business, either within the government or outside it," said Yaqoub, a Yazidi minority that has been a target of insurgents in recent years. Ashur Essa knows Yaqoub's fear. He, too, owns a liquor store in central Baghdad that sits a short distance from a police checkpoint. "It's painful to see this happening to our country, " said 46-year-old Essa, a Christian. "All Iraqis used to live together, and it didn't matter who was Sunni or who was Shiite, who was Muslim or who was Christian." Essa believes the attacks are not really about liquor stores so much as it is about a struggle to balance a fledgling democracy with a conservative religious tradition. "It's about the new democracy that Americans promised us," he said. Under Islamic tradition, Muslims do not drink alcohol. But in many parts of Baghdad, it is not uncommon to see people drinking alcohol at outdoor cafes and restaurants. Within months of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein, liquor stores in Baghdad and elsewhere were bombed and shot up. Store owners blamed the attacks on al Qaeda or Shiite militias, such as radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi army. Despite the attacks, the number of liquor stores and nightclubs in Baghdad flourished. But elsewhere, outright bans or laws aimed at curbing the availability of alcohol were put in place or enforced in primarily conservative Shiite communities. Last year, with a Shiite-majority government, local officials in Baghdad reintroduced a Saddam Hussein-era law that banned Muslims from selling alcohol and required anyone selling alcohol to have a liquor license -- essentially banning the sale of alcohol. At the time, officials said the crackdown was aimed at regulating alcohol sales, much like other countries. But in January the head of the Baghdad Provincial Council, Kamil al-Zaidi told The New York Times, "We are a Muslim country, and everyone must respect that." During the same period, al-Sadr -- an ally of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shiite-dominated government -- railed against liquor stores and nightclubs, going so far as to issue a fatwa, a religious opinion, asking his followers to support the ban and stand against those who want to be "immoral like the West." But when tens of thousands of demonstrators, inspired by popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, took to the streets across Iraq to protest corruption and lack of personal freedoms, Baghdad officials rolled back the law. Within weeks, attacks began against liquor stores. Since March, at least 25 stores in Baghdad have been bombed, an interior ministry official told CNN. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media. Most of the liquor stores targeted were owned by Christians or Yazidis, the official said. Religious minorities, such as Christians and Yazidis, make up less than five percent of Iraq's population, according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Since 2003, attacks against these minorities by insurgents and religious extremists have driven more than half of these minorities out of the country, according to UNHCR statistics. Yazidis, among Iraq's smallest minorities, are of Kurdish descent, and their religion is considered a pre-Islamic sect that draws from Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrism. On a recent day, a liquor store owner swept up debris left after a roadside bomb planted outside his store exploded. The owner, who would only identify himself as Khalil, said he was hopeful when Iraq's Ministry of Tourism granted him a license that allowed him to reopen his store after the law was rescinded. But two weeks later, his store was bombed during the daily overnight curfew in Baghdad. It's a time, Khalil says, when only Iraqi security forces are supposed to be on the streets. "If the Iraqi army and police cannot stop such simple attacks, then what is the point of a curfew?" said Khalil, a Yazidi. Khalil, 28, said he was considering closing his store and leaving Baghdad for the Kurdish north, an area he considered safer than the Iraqi capital. "I'm telling you, there is no safe place in Baghdad," he said, "and I'm thinking I will have to leave." He stopped sweeping and stared silently at the cars driving past his damaged store. Then he shuffled back inside to continue cleaning. CNN's Mohammed Tawfeeq reported from Baghdad; Chelsea J. Carter from Atlanta .

I knew moving to rugby union would take me out of my comfort zone and that is definitely what has happened in the past couple of months, but I’m still more determined than ever to make it work. Even though I’m a player from league trying to learn a new sport, there has been a lot of hype around me and I’m expected to do something special every time I play, which is quite hard when I’m still working out the basics. I was under massive scrutiny when I was in the NRL in Australia, but that was different because I was established and knew the game. Since I’ve joined Bath, I know everything I do is being watched and dissected, which is no surprise to me given the build-up to my arrival and the way my season finished in Australia. Sam Burgess has relished his time with Bath thus far but knows he has plenty of learning ahead of him . Burgess played outside centre in his side's recent 17-8 loss to Leicester at Welford Road . Burgess admits the transition from playing rugby league in Australia (above) to union has been tough . When I’m on the field, those thoughts never enter my mind, but sometimes it’s hard to miss what people are saying post-match on social media and even just when I’m grabbing a brew at a cafe in Bath. The key is to not let all the chat affect my confidence in learning a new game which, quite frankly at the moment, I’m a novice at! I’ve been totally honest about my transition by admitting I’m finding it even harder than I expected. There’s no point me saying that it’s easy because it definitely isn’t. I understand now even more than I did before just how much work it’s going to take to be successful. I just need more time out on the field, in matches. It’s been useful to see the game as a back and as a forward. I’ve been playing at centre for the first team but I’ve also had a couple of run-outs for the ‘A’ team as a flanker and that has been helpful. It’s been like a very intense practice session really — out of the spotlight, with not as many people watching those games, so I can make mistakes and get away with them a bit more! Burgess is still learning his trade, especially in defence, after crossing codes from rugby league . There were a few thousand people at our home game, including a few boys from the squad who sat up in a box eating curry! At Exeter there was a crowd of 5-6,000, which was a great turn-out. But of course it was a bit of a change in occasion, after being in an unbelievable competition in the NRL and finishing with a Grand Final win in Sydney. I had to see the games in a different way; as a learning process to help me develop my skills. In my first ‘A’ game, there was a guy from London Irish who gave me a bit of stick. We were in a ruck and he was giving it to me, saying, “You don’t know what you’re doing”. He was probably right, so I just said, “Maybe not, but I know how to tackle, so run at me and we’ll see how it goes!” It was good banter. Burgess admits to struggling with certain technical aspects with the lineout (above) proving a big challenge . Meditation became a valuable tool for me when I was playing rugby league in Australia and it’s a technique I’ll carry on using for the rest of my career. I was quite sceptical when we first started meditating at South Sydney, but I began to connect with the people who were doing the sessions so I bought into it. It was all about opening up our minds and talking to each other a bit more, and also about clearing your own mind in terms of being calm and ready to perform. We used techniques to bring ourselves back down to a calm level if we found ourselves getting frustrated or lost confidence during a game. Since joining Bath, I’ve been having sessions with Don Macpherson, who works with F1 drivers and other sportsmen, and lives two minutes away from me. I find it really helpful. It helps me stay calm, keeps my blood pressure down and keeps my mind focused. It’s even helped me to go easier on refs when decisions go against me! I truly believe that meditation was a big part of our success at Souths. Just before the biggest games of the year, the guys would be laughing and joking, but then everyone would switch on and be in the right mental state to play. As I see it, the brain is a muscle and I’ve got to train it like I train other muscles. At Bath, it’s been helping me to visualise the game and accelerate my learning. You train your brain with little triggers so when you get into certain match situations, your mind subconsciously knows how to react. It is really useful for me during this transition phase. I had mentally prepared myself for the fact that there would be a change in the number of plays I would be involved in during games, but it’s still been tough to get used to. The amount of distance covered is similar to what I was doing in league, but in union there is lot more kick-chasing, running off the ball and getting back into position. Last weekend at Leicester, I think I touched the ball once in the first 40 minutes, so I had to keep my hands warm! People who follow and play league don’t quite understand it. My mates have been taking the p*** out of me about it. They were having a laugh because it showed on TV that I’d made 15 metres, or something like that. If you did that in league, it would be embarrassing. It’s just different; I’m finding there are less opportunities in union and you don’t have as much space to play with between the lines of defence. Union is more of a mental, tactical game and I’m enjoying the strategic side of it. I like to describe it as a game of chess (to all my mates in league reading this!). I’ve found the rucks hard to get used to, but I’m starting to learn all the sneaky little tactics. I remember my first ruck against Quins; I carried the ball, ended up on the floor on my side and the next thing I knew I was being kneed in the forehead by my own team-mate cleaning the ruck. I felt like road-kill! It’s such a different experience to being tackled in league, but a fun one. I’ve found the scrums hard too. I couldn’t be a prop — there’s so much pressure on their bodies in there. When you get a seven or eight-second scrum, you really know about it afterwards. My respect for those guys (and their ears) is through the roof. The best pair of ears I’ve seen are Hoops’ (Bath captain Stuart Hooper’s) so far — they’re a cracking set of cauliflowers! Burgess has plenty of new-found respect for the Bath forwards including skipper Stuart Hooper (above) People have been very interested in what position I’m playing, but to me there isn’t a big difference. At 12, I stand a bit wider in defence and at No.6 I have to push in the scrums and sometimes I have to go in the lineout. That’s about it in my mind right now. Another thing people are focusing on a lot is when — or if — England might pick me. I’ve not heard anything from Stuart Lancaster with regards to selection. Andy Farrell, who was a great idol of mine growing up, has given me a call to see how I’m getting on. I’m sure the coaches will have their eyes on a lot of players at the moment, so I’m just going to do as much as I can to be in contention. I came here to chase a challenge, and it’s delivering. England assistant coach Andy Farrell  (above) has been in touch with Burgess to monitor his progress . Sam Burgess is a Canterbury ambassador for rugby & training products.

Peekaboo: Researchers found that young children believe they are invisible if people can't see their eyes . It's an adorable game parents have played with their young children for generations. But now researchers are looking for a scientific answer to explain why children think they actually disappear when they cover their eyes while playing peekaboo. Researchers led by James Russell at the University of Cambridge have carried out the first study into this bizarre trait with groups of three and four-year-old children. The children's eyes were covered with masks and they were then asked whether they could be seen by the researchers - with most saying no. Many also believed that the researchers could not see adults who were wearing eye masks - leading to the conclusion most young children believe that anyone who covers their eyes is obscured from other people's view. The researchers then attempted to distinguish what exactly creates the feeling of invisibility - whether it was not being able to see at all or just because the other person couldn't see their eyes. The children were given a pair of mirrored goggles so that while they could see through the glasses, no one could see their eyes. Unfortunately, only 7 of the 37 participating children were able to get to grips with the idea that while they could still see, no one could see their eyes. But of those who did understand the concept, six believed they were invisible if the researchers couldn't see their eyes, even if they could still see them. Although when the children were asked to . explain how they were made invisible by simply hiding their eyes, many . knew that their bodies remained visible, suggesting a childhood . distinction between their physical bodies and the 'self' they connect to . their eyes. Hide and seek: The children in the survey also believed that other people become invisible if they cover their eyes even though their bodies are still visible . To test this theory that children believe they can be seen only through their eyes, the researchers looked directly at each of the children while asking them to avert their gaze. They then did the same process in reverse, with the children looking at the researchers while they diverted their eyes. In each instance, the majority of children felt they were not being seen so long as their eyes didn't meet the other person's, giving some support to the ideology of eyes being the the window to the soul.

(CNN) -- China plans to put laboratories in space, collect samples from the moon and prepare to build space stations over the next five years, according to an ambitious plan released this week aimed at putting the country on the global map for space exploration. China also plans to launch manned-vessels and freighters into space during the coming half-decade, according to a government white paper. The country's eventual goal in the longer term is a manned lunar landing. "With economic progress, also comes the need for scientific development and exploration," said Jiao Weixin, a professor at the School of Earth and Space Sciences at Beijing University. "By investing in space exploration, China wants to contribute and be a major player in the world on more than one level." The Chinese plans announced this week come as the United States has been scaling back its ambitions and funding for space exploration. Since 2003, China has made major breakthroughs in its space program, including becoming the third country after Russia and the United States to put a human in space. It successfully completed a spacewalk in 2008. In November, the successful automated docking and return of an unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou-8, paved the way for the creation of China's future space laboratory. The spaceship blasted off from a launch facility in the Gobi Desert in northwest China, one month after the first space laboratory module Tiangong-1 was launched into space. China says its military-run space program will be used for peaceful purposes. But its activities have set off controversy in the past, like when it shot down one of its dead satellites in 2007, for example. That move alarmed some officials in the United States and other countries and raised concerns about the militarization of the space race. Some experts say a critical gap in Chinese-U.S. space relations is the absence of regularized talks on space security, which took place between Washington and Moscow during the Cold War. "In this regard, the Obama administration has made overtures at the military-to-military level," Clay Moltz, an professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif., said in an e-mail response. "The ball is now in China's court to respond. How it responds may say a lot about its true intentions in space." Two more space docking missions are planned for 2012, with at least one of them manned. But despite the progress, some experts say China still has a long way to go in developing its space technology. "China is still catching up to countries that began their space programs in the 1960s," said Jiao. "It may be impressive to see what China has done in the past decade, but there is still a long way to go." The paper also says China will develop technology to monitor space debris, study black holes and develop small satellites for environmental and disaster monitoring and forecasting.

Aston Villa keeper Brad Guzan sprang to the defence of manager Paul Lambert despite the Scot coming in for the heaviest criticism he has received yet from Villa fans. Chants of ‘We want Lambert out’, ‘You don’t know what you’re doing’ and ‘We want our Villa back’ emerged during this desperate display at Leicester. But Guzan believes the players deserve to take the flak, not Lambert, due to their performances which have yielded just 11 goals in 21 Premier League games. Aston Villa keeper Brad Guzan, in action on Saturday, has sprung to the defence of manager Paul Lambert . Villa fans appeared to lose patience during Saturday's loss with some chanting 'We want [Paul] Lambert out' ‘When you go through difficult times everyone has got to take their criticism,’ he said. ‘The manager has been brilliant in defending us but we are the ones who have to score goals. He can’t go and score for us and the coaching staff can’t score for us. ‘Us players have to take responsibility and I know the fans are unhappy, we hear them during the game, but they need to realise it’s a difficult moment for the players and fans but we need to stick together. ‘Regardless if they are unhappy with the manager or situation, we need to stick together and work hard in training because it’s about the club. Christian Benteke, riding a challenge during Saturday's defeat, has struggled with injuries this season . ‘We are trying to score goals. We’re not purposefully going out there saying, “Let’s just keep the ball and forget about trying to go forward”.’ Paul Konchesky’s goal in first-half stoppage time was enough to condemn Villa to defeat. They could have conceded many more but Guzan was sensational in goal. At the other end, Villa’s goal drought is now longer than six hours. In fact, they did not even test Leicester goalkeeper Ben Hamer. Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert looks frustrated during the 1-0 loss to Leicester on Saturday . Lambert again insisted he would not walk away from this job but many more performances like this and it can only be a matter of time before that decision is taken out of his hands. ‘I’ve always been used to pressure,’ he said. ‘I have to fight it off again. There’s only two ways you can meet a fight, head on or run away from it. I’m not one to run away from things.’ There was controversy late on as Matty James and Ciaran Clark were both red carded, the former for challenging Jores Okore and the latter for his part in a melee, and the pair had to be separated leaving the pitch. Nothing, however, could take away from Leicester’s performance which saw them move to within three points of safety. Konchesky even claimed his goal, just the 16th of his career, was the most important he has ever scored. The former West Ham defender said: ‘Every goal for me is memorable, but I can’t think of a more important one in my career, and that includes scoring in the FA Cup final nine years ago.’
Leicester beat Aston Villa 1-0 in a fiery Midlands derby on Saturday . Villa have the fewest goals in the top eight English tiers this season . Despite the win Leicester remain bottom of the league with Villa in 13th . Paul Lambert's side are without a win in six Premier League matches .

In Sturridge's absence, Rodgers will once again make a call on the best option in attack from Fabio Borini, Rickie Lambert and Mario Balotelli, who is the only one of the trio to have scored this season and broke an eight-match goal drought earlier this week. Provisional squad: Mignolet, Johnson, Lovren, Skrtel, Moreno, Gerrard, Henderson, Allen, Lallana, Balotelli, Sterling, Jones, Manquillo, Toure, Can, Markovic, Lucas, Coutinho, Lambert, Borini. Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge is still out with a calf problem and will miss the trip to Newcastle . Key match stats (supplied by Opta) Newcastle have had five players sent off in their last four Premier League games against Liverpool. Liverpool have scored more goals against Newcastle United in the Premier League (84) than versus any other opponent. The Reds have scored 598 goals away from home in Premier League history. No fixture in Premier League history has produced more goals than clashes between Liverpool and Newcastle United (129). Against no side have Liverpool won more often than they have against Newcastle United in the Premier League (23 wins – level with their record v Aston Villa). Newcastle are without a victory against Liverpool since Papiss Cisse (above) scored twice in a 2-0 Premier League win on April 1, 2012 at St James' Park . Daniel Sturridge has scored six goals in eight Premier League games against Newcastle including four in three for Liverpool. He is likely to miss this game through injury, however. Fabio Borini has scored three goals in three Premier League games against the Magpies – he’s not scored more than once against any other opponent. Only Everton (13 v Liverpool) have earned more red cards against one single opponent than Newcastle against Liverpool (11). Liverpool have won four and lost just one of their last seven Premier League games against the Magpies (D2). However, Newcastle United have won two and lost just one of the last four home games against the Reds in the Premier League. Papiss Cisse has scored a goal every 61 minutes so far this season; the best record in the Premier League of all players to have scored more than once.
Midfielder Cheick Tiote will miss Liverpool clash with a calf problem . Newcastle forward Papiss Cisse also a doubt for Saturday's match . Daniel Sturridge and Mamadou Sakho remain unavailable for Liverpool . Reds scored more Premier League goals vs Newcastle than anyone else .

Armed forces veterans are to receive extra help to get jobs and transition into civilian life under a set of special measures announced by the Government. The Prime Minister will launch the biggest overhaul of services for troops leaving the Forces with more than 60 changes being made. The recommendations span every aspect of daily life - from education and training, to employment, housing, health, welfare and financial support. The Prime Minister (pictured meeting RAF troops in Camp Bastion earlier this month) will launch the biggest overhaul of services for troops leaving the Forces with more than 60 changes being made . It is aimed to support wounded soldiers and those at risk of turning to crime or suffering mental illness. Ministers are keen to cut the number of veterans who end up in jail after returning from the front line. About one in 30 prisoners have been in the Armed Forces. Lord Ashcroft was commissioned by David Cameron to draw up the recommendations . Lord Ashcroft was commissioned by David Cameron to draw up the recommendations. The Tory peer said more should be done to emphasise that former service personnel have a ‘great deal to offer’. He said: ‘I am pleased to see that the Government has accepted the great majority of the proposals, and that work is already underway on many of them.’ Prime Minister David Cameron said on Saturday: ‘Our brave servicemen and women make huge sacrifices to keep this country safe. Whatever the reasons behind their decision to leave our armed services, we must absolutely do all we can to smooth the move into civilian life. ‘That is why Lord Ashcroft’s review is so important, because it pinpoints the areas where we need to do more. 'I’m pleased that much of that work is now under way and I am determined to ensure that we deliver on the rest to ensure that our Armed Forces have the support they need to build a secure and better future.’ Whitehall officials say work is already under way to establish a single 24-hour contact centre number for veterans in urgent need of advice, supported by Combat Stress and the Samaritans. Other measures being rolled out also include resettlement advice for all those who leave the Services and education schemes to help Services personnel manage their finances better. The Government is also looking to introduce a longterm development and career support system and provide online courses.

Madrid, Spain (CNN) -- Spain on Sunday marks the eighth anniversary of the Madrid train bombings, this year embroiled in controversy over a decision by unions to hold nationwide protests over the economic crisis. Some of the usual anniversary observances will be held on Sunday to remember the 191 people killed and more than 1,800 wounded in the terrorist attacks on morning rush-hour commuter trains on March 11, 2004. But other observances, usually held on the day of the anniversary, will this year be pushed back a day, until Monday, due to the union protest. Spain's anniversary observances in recent years have been subdued, without the King or prime minister attending, and without speeches or music. Authorities have said that's in keeping with the wishes of the victims associations, who want the nation to remember but without undue fanfare. The ceremonies include placing of floral wreaths and long moments of silence. But for the first time, Spain's two main unions have scheduled dozens of protests nationwide on the anniversary and that has prompted criticism from some conservative leaders who accuse the unions of disrespect for the victims. The unions have countered that some conservatives have repeatedly shown a lack of respect for the victims -- which included many workers and students killed or maimed in the attacks -- by fomenting unfounded conspiracy theories about the bombings. Spain's two main unions -- the Socialist-leaning General Workers Union (UGT) and the Communist-leaning Workers Commissions (CCOO) -- scheduled the demonstrations on March 11 to protest against the new conservative government's labor reforms, which unions say make it cheaper and easier to fire workers. The March 11 demonstrations follow union protests last month which drew large crowds nationwide. On Friday, the unions announced a general strike for March 29. Spain's jobless rate is nearly 23 percent overall, and nearly 50 percent for youth. Nearly 5.3 million Spaniards are out of work and the government has announced deep austerity cuts. The unions said the protest in Madrid will take a different route on March 11 than the protests last month, out of respect for the victims. The route on Sunday will avoid the Atocha train station, which took the brunt of the casualties, and the emblematic Puerta del Sol square in the city center. The UGT union has announced that Pilar Manjon, a leader of the largest victims association whose son died in the attacks, will join union members at the Atocha station on Sunday morning for a memorial observance, before the protest march. Nearby, in the Retiro Park, at a grove of trees planted in honor of the victims, the Association of Victims of Terrorism will hold a memorial. But Madrid's regional government and Madrid's city hall, both governed by conservative administrations, have decided to delay until Monday their annual observances. They will include a memorial ceremony in the Puerta del Sol, followed by a memorial in the monument to the victims at Atocha station. Spanish courts already have convicted 14 Islamic militants for their roles in the train bombings, along with four Spaniards convicted for trafficking in explosives used in the attacks. Additionally, seven other prime Islamic suspects in the attacks blew themselves up three weeks after the train bombings as police closed in on their hideout in a Madrid suburb. That explosion also killed a police officer and wounded various others.

Madrid, Spain (CNN) -- Spain on Sunday marks the eighth anniversary of the Madrid train bombings, over the economic crisis. Some of the usual remember the 191 people killed and more than 1,800 wounded in the terrorist attacks on morning rush-hour commuter trains on March 11, 2004. But
North Korea surprised and angered the international community Wednesday by launching a long-range rocket that may have put an object in orbit. The secretive North Korean regime said the rocket had successfully blasted off from a space center on its west coast and claimed the satellite it was carrying had entered its intended orbit. The launch followed a botched attempt in April and came just days after Pyongyang suggested it could be delayed. Initial indications suggest the rocket "deployed an object that appeared to achieve orbit," the North American Aerospace Defense Command, the joint U.S.-Canadian aerospace agency, said in a statement. North Korea has previously claimed that two other rockets fired in the past 15 years had successfully launched satellites, but other countries say they fell into the ocean before completing the task. Many nations, such as the United States and South Korea, consider the launch to be a cover for testing ballistic missile technology. The nuclear-armed North has insisted its aim was to place a scientific satellite in space. Countries around the world quickly condemned Pyongyang's move on Wednesday, saying it breached U.N. Security Council resolutions. The South Korean government said the launch was confrontational and a "threat to the peace and stability of the Korean peninsula and the world." The United States called it "a highly provocative act" that is "yet another example of North Korea's pattern of irresponsible behavior." Washington will work with other countries -- including China, Russia and other Security Council members -- "to pursue appropriate action," said Tommy Vietor, a U.S. National Security Council spokesman. The launch came as a surprise to the United States, which did not expect it to take place Wednesday, a senior U.S. official said. British Foreign Secretary William Hague said he deplored the fact that North Korea "has chosen to prioritize this launch over improving the livelihood of its people." Neighboring countries said the rocket had taken off Wednesday morning and flown south over the Japanese island of Okinawa. The Japanese government said it believed one part of the rocket came down in the sea off the Korean Peninsula, a second part dropped into the East China Sea and a third fell into waters near the Philippines. Read more: What does North Korea's planned rocket launch mean? "It is extremely regrettable that North Korea forced the launch despite our protest," Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said at a news conference in Tokyo. "It is not acceptable, and we strongly protest against it." South Korea's semi-official news agency Yonhap reported that President Lee Myung-bak has convened an emergency security meeting in Seoul. A launch had seemed unlikely to take place so soon after North Korea announced Monday that it was extending the launch window into late December, citing technical issues in an engine. Previous launch attempts by the North in 1998, 2006, 2009 and April this year failed to achieve their stated goal of putting a satellite into orbit and provoked international condemnation. Pyongyang had said this rocket launch would be "true to the behests" of Kim Jong Il, the late North Korean leader and father of Kim Jong Un, head of the ruling regime. Kim Jong Il died on December 17 last year, so the first anniversary of his death falls within the launch window that North Korea has announced. Experts had also speculated that Pyongyang wanted this launch to happen before the end of 2012, the year that marks the centenary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, the founder of North Korea and grandfather of Kim Jong Un.

Andy Murray knew things had changed a week ago when he walked out on Centre Court to the kind of pop star reception not witnessed since the exceptional days of the London 2012 tennis event. If his first week was marked by a series of sublime displays against relatively unthreatening opposition, it was also notable for an unreserved adulation of the defending champion that has taken years to build. Members of One Direction, present last week and expected again here (gasp), might have known the feeling Murray got when he came out to tackle his first opponent, David Goffin. Focused: Andy Murray has performed well in the first week and is confident going into this week . Putting the work in: Murray prepares for his fourth round match on the practice courts . Good feeling: Murray shares a joke with new coach Amelie Mauresmo on Sunday . VIDEO Murray training with Mauresmo . Doubtless on Monday the greeting will be similar, but the challenge will be very different to that offered by the lightweight, diminutive Belgian. The 27 year-old Scot could feel  positively Lilliputian as he walks out alongside South Africa’s Kevin Anderson. The 6ft 8in giant from Johannesburg is the fourth of seven men whom Murray will have to beat between now and next Sunday to successfully defend his title. With the way he has played so far, it is easy to forget that last year’s winner has not reached any final since — the process of returning to his best proving lengthy after back surgery and a change of coach. For now, the temptation has to be resisted of thinking ahead to potentially sumptuous matches later in the week, a possible quarter-final against the coming man Grigor Dimitrov and a semi that would be a repeat of the 2013 final against Novak Djokovic. Anderson is more dangerous than anyone Murray has met in the  previous rounds, even if he looks like he might have got lost on his way to the nearest basketball court. Tall order: Giant South African Kevin Anderson (left) will face Murray on Monday . High society: Anderson returns to Fabio Fognini of Italy in their third round match . He shares something with Murray in that he first got into the game via playing swingball. He graduated to the local junior circuit, where one of his rivals was the prodigiously talented AB de Villiers, now one of the world’s finest cricketers. Anderson left South Africa for three years on the American  college circuit playing for Illinois State, where he was initially known as someone who only pushed the ball gently around and failed to harness his enormous levers. At 28 that has all changed and he is one of the most ferocious ball strikers on the tour, aside from  having the hefty serve you would expect. If a rally lasts more than half-a-dozen shots, he is likely to pull the trigger and try to end it with a death-or-glory winner. When Murray was in the final last year, the genial giant found himself rooting for the home player and accepts that he has to play the  villain when the match starts at around 3pm on Monday. ‘You couldn’t help but hope for Andy last year,’ he admitted. ‘I really enjoy watching Novak play but at this tournament, given the history, Andy had a lot of support, even from other players. ‘Maybe I’ll be the bad guy but I need to try to block that out. Andy has won it now, so I guess there’s no need for him to go on and win two in a row! Star status: Niall Horan (second right) and Liam Payne (third left) of One Direction attend Wimbledon . ‘It will be amazing just to play on Centre Court, not many people in this sport do it. It will be a great experience but I am there to win the match.’ Anderson is a good athlete, to  the point where he was once a promising 800 metres runner. But while he moves well for  someone of his size, he can expect to be dragged all over the court in rallies by Murray, a master manipulator of the tennis ball. Murray’s uncommon eye picks up a big serve early and is a major  factor in why he has compiled such a good record against tall players, whom he teases by keeping the ball sliced low. Anderson’s serve is a weapon, although just below the most devastating in the game. He has delivered 63 aces in three matches so far but been broken six times in 56 service games — and none of his opponents returns as well as Murray. If he keeps his  composure as well as he has so far, Murray should come through. He has enjoyed the experience of being defending champion and was cheerful on Sunday amid the eerie calm of Wimbledon on its traditional rest day. ‘I think after  winning it last year, the pressure of wanting to win definitely was finally released,’ said Murray. ‘Obviously I’m still feeling the pressure and the nerves but this year they are completely different. I like having the nerves and I’m able to use them positively.’ Big time: Murray's celebrity status was boosted by his Wimbledon glory in 2013 . This week is also a huge test for his new coach Amelie Mauresmo, although their relationship has clearly worked well to date. ‘It’s great having Amelie around. She’s a very calm person but also incredibly supportive, so naturally that helps me,’ said Murray. ‘She’s also a great listener and if I have any concerns she’ll listen to them and then we’ll work through them in practice. ‘She has been over to the house a few times but she’s not living with us. It’s quite important to give each other space, particularly during the Grand Slams as you can spend a lot of time together.’ Defeat on Monday would end things abruptly for this fortnight, although it sounds like Murray’s bold appointment of the Frenchwoman is destined to run further.
British No 1 enjoys star status after his 2013 Wimbledon success . Murray's next tie is against giant South African Kevin Anderson . Anderson has delivered 63 aces in three matches so far .

By . Richard Spillett . The BBC's Head of Television has been criticised after he appeared to claim viewers have 'free access' to the broadcaster's programmes. Danny Cohen said the BBC should continue to offer viewers 'free access to news and great television' when he was interviewed on BBC One's Points of View show. But critics rushed to point out that viewers are forced to pay £145.50 annual licence fee and accused Mr Cohen of being 'out of touch'. BBC Head of TV Danny Cohen (left) said he thought it is good that news and 'great programmes' are 'free access' in the UK. Conservative MP Rob Wilson (right) said the comments showed Mr Cohen and other BBC bosses are 'out of touch' The controversial comments came as Mr Cohen discussed whether the BBC should become a subscription service like on-demand internet TV site Netflix. Arguing that the corporation's funding should stay the same, he said: 'I believe in the universality of the BBC, I believe the BBC should provide something for everyone, and it should be free access to news and great television programmes for everyone in the UK.' But his comments were seized upon by those calling for reform of the licence fee, who insisted his mistake showed the corporation's complacency about its funding. Conservative MP Rob Wilson told the Daily Telegraph: 'That Mr Cohen thinks paying £145.50 a year constitutes "free access" shows just how out of touch with reality some overpaid bosses really are.' He branded the licence fee a '60-year-old idea' and called for it to be reformed to give customers better service. Viewers also took to Twitter to mock the claims, with David Hartley tweeting: 'Give me free access to the BBC anytime!' Mr Cohen's comments were mocked in a series of tweets by viewers of the interview (above and below) Website user Nick Dale added: 'Head of BBC TV Danny Cohen insists we keep ‘free access’ to the BBC - apart from the £145.50 licence fee we all have to pay, of course…' Mr Cohen worked for E4 before joining the BBC in 2007 as controller of BBC Three. He was appointed to his current role as Director of BBC Television in April last year. He is currently paid £320,000-a-year by the corporation, but defended his huge pay packet earlier this year . by saying: '[BBC] executives continue to be well-paid, but if we went to . commercial organisations we'd be paid roughly double.' Earlier this year, he vowed to get more women on TV by putting an end to 'sexist' all-male line-ups on comedy panel shows like Have I Got News For You and Mock The Week. His latest comments came as plans emerged to increase the fine handed out by magistrates to people who do not pay the licence fee from £1,000 to £4,000. The BBC has faced down calls for it to become a subscription service but ministers recently announced a review of plans to de-criminalise the offence of not buying a licence. The comments came during a discussion of whether the BBC should become a subscription service .

At first, everything seemed routine -- an uneventful end to a second day of meetings between Thailand's bitter political rivals. Then the military trucks arrived, sealing off Bangkok's Thai Army Club, where the talks were being held. Armed soldiers in green camouflage rushed about, blocking entrances and exits as military vans, apparently carrying factional leaders, drove away. It seemed a coup was playing out, right in front of reporters' eyes. Soon, television programming fell silent, and Army chief Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha took to the air to confirm the news of a military takeover after five hours of talks meant to find a solution to Thailand's festering political crisis. Bangkok reacted calmly. Traffic was jammed downtown -- not unusual for rush hour in a city of nearly 7 million people. But it was surely a sign people wanted to make sure they got home before the military's 10 p.m. curfew. There did not appear to be any tension or panic, but then again, Bangkok is home turf for establishment protesters seeking the removal of what they consider a corrupt, tainted government. With TV and radio broadcasts airing only military messaging, it was impossible to know what the reaction was in Thailand's north, home to many populists angry over the recent removal of the country's democratically elected Prime Minister. According to Paradon Patthanathabut, national security adviser to the former government, the protest encampment of the populist "Red Shirts" had been cleared with military assistance. It wasn't clear if there had been any injuries or arrests. At the sprawling protest camp of the anti-government protesters, called "Yellow Shirts," the military was nowhere to be found, and a sense of victory permeated the air. People sang, clapped and smiled broadly as they slowly packed up to go home, leaving the scene to resemble the closing hour of a festival. Martial law: What it means . Soldiers, selfies and a military coup . A cheat sheet to get you up to speed .

London (CNN) -- Queen Elizabeth II is to head below ground Wednesday with Prince Philip and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, to mark the 150th anniversary of the London Underground. The royals are visiting central London's Baker Street station -- a stone's throw from the home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's legendary fictional detective Sherlock Holmes at 221B Baker Street. The queen was forced to cancel some visits last week because she was experiencing symptoms of gastroenteritis. Once below the surface, the royal party will view a restored underground coach dating back to 1892 and talk to the people involved in bringing it back to its former glory. They will then walk through a new S7 train, which will be officially named "Queen Elizabeth II" after the monarch. The royals will also meet the head of London Underground and other transport officials. The London Underground celebrated 150 years in January since the first passengers traveled underground between Paddington and Farringdon on the Metropolitan Railway. The Tube, as the Underground is known, is a big part of Londoners' life, with more than 1 billion journeys made each year on its network. The royals will also meet with representatives of the Railway Children charity, which works to help vulnerable children who live alone and at risk on the streets. Prince William's wife Catherine is expecting their first baby in July. CNN's Max Foster contributed to this report.

Pascal Husting, Greenpeace International’s programme director, has been flying 250 miles between Luxembourg and Amsterdam at the charity’s expense since 2012. Each trip costs Greenpeace £200 and would generate 142kg of carbon dioxide emissions, according to airline KLM. Scroll down for video . Pascal Husting, Greenpeace International's programme director, has been flying 250 miles between Luxembourg and Amsterdam at the charity's expense since 2012 . Over two years this would amount to 7.4 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions - the equivalent of consuming 17 barrels of oil, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. But Mr Husting defended the arrangement and said he would rather not take the journey but it was necessary because the alternative is a twelve hour round trip by train. He told the Daily Telegraph: ‘I spend half my life on Skype and video conference calls. ‘But as a senior manager, the people who work in my team sometimes need to meet me in the flesh, that’s why I’ve been going to Amsterdam twice a month while my team was being restructured.’ He said that from September he would switch to making the trip once a month by train due to ‘the work of restructuring my team coming to an end, and with my kids a little older’. Mr Husting’s travel arrangements were revealed just days after Greenpeace was forced to apologise for losing £3million of public donations in an unauthorised currency dealing. The head of Greenpeace in the UK yesterday denied that funding Mr Husting’s commute showed a lack of integrity. John Sauve, head of Greenpeace in the UK, yesterday denied that funding Mr Husting's commute showed a lack of integrity . In a statement online John Sauven, executive director of Greenpeace UK, said: ‘As for Pascal’s air travel. Well it’s a really tough one. Was it the right decision to allow him to use air travel to try to balance his job with the needs of his family for a while? ‘What kind of compromises do you make in your efforts to try to make the world a better place? ‘I think there is a line there. Honesty and integrity to the values that are at the heart of the good you’re trying to do in the world cannot be allowed to slip away. For what it’s worth, I don’t think we’ve crossed that line here at Greenpeace.’ But Greenpeace members were outraged by the senior executive’s commuting habits and called Mr Pascal a ‘hypocrite’. Greenpeace volunteer of 30 years, Richard Lancaster, said: ‘I have to say I’m deeply troubled by these revelations - I had hoped and assumed Greenpeace was better than this. ‘I volunteer with Greenpeace but work in the commercial world and if I took a job in another country I’d expect to move to where the job is and if I couldn’t for family reasons I wouldn’t take the job - so I find Pascal’s travel arrangements almost unbelievable.’ According to Greenpeace flying is ten times worse for climate change than taking the train and is responsible for 13 per cent of the UK’s impact on the climate.

The study also found that 88 per cent of billionaires graduated from college - but dropping out of Harvard didn't stop Mark Zuckerberg making his fortune . The success of billionaires may be down to more than just hard work and good luck - they may also be smarter than most, according to a study. About 45 per cent of billionaires are in the top one per cent for brainpower, says Jonathan Wai of Duke University. He says that the top one per cent of wealthy people and the top one per cent for brainpower strongly overlap, reports CNBC. That ranks them as smarter than US senators and federal judges, of whom 41 per cent are in the top one per cent for cognitive ability, and Fortune 500 CEOS at 38.6 per cent. Only 21 per cent of the US House of Representatives were considered to be that smart. However, the study only judges brainpower by whether someone attended one of 29 elite - and often expensive - American colleges, using the colleges' admissions criteria of high academic grades to decide if someone is intelligent. The study found that 88 per cent of billionaires graduated from college, though a lack of degree did not get in the way of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg making his billions after dropping out of Harvard. Among members of the Forbes 400 list of America's wealthiest people, Charles and David Koch, co-owners of Koch industries, took degrees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology while investor Warren Buffett graduated from UPenn and Columbia. New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, left, went to Johns Hopkins University and Harvard while Microsoft founder Bill Gates, right, went to Harvard but dropped out . New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has degrees from Johns Hopkins University and Harvard while Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page met as PhD students at Stanford. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer went to Harvard while his boss Bill Gates dropped out of the same university, and Amazon found Jeff Bezo attended Princeton. Those who made their fortunes through investments or technology were more likely to be in the top one per cent for brainpower than those who did from fashion and retail or food and drink. Some 69 per cent of investment billionaires and 63 per cent of technology magnates are represented in the top one per cent, while only a quarter of fashion earners and 23 per cent of food and drink billionaires make the grade.

(CNN) -- A story told about Marine Gen. John Allen while commanding troops in Iraq describes his ability to inspire the loyalty. A mortar shell landed near a mess hall where Allen was eating, sending a young soldier under the table for cover. Allen, who remained upright during the attack, bent over and said to him, "Son, you're not going to win the war from down there." Allen may be tempted to find cover under a mess hall table this week as he has been entangled in the sex scandal that ended the career of Gen. David Petraeus, who he followed as commander of international troops in Afghanistan. Petraeus pillow talk: 'A spy agency's worst nightmare' An investigation into "flirtatious" e-mail exchanges between Allen and Jill Kelley, the woman whose complaint about anonymous, harassing e-mails uncovered Patraeus' affair with Paula Broadwell, has put Allen's promotion as NATO commander on hold. The married father of two daughters did not have an affair with Kelley, who is also married, according to a senior official close to the general. What we know so far . "Allen has never been alone with her," the official said. "He does everything with his wife." Allen, who has a habit of replying to every e-mail he gets, never wrote about sex although he may have said "thanks sweetheart," in casual e-mail conversation, the official said. Allen's stellar career in the U.S. Marines has made it hard for those who know him to write him off because of the controversy. Allen became the first U.S. Marine to command the International Security Assistance Force - Afghanistan and United States Forces when he took over from Patraeus in July 2011.

Time to put the credit cards away because Jose Canseco's shot-off finger is not for sale after all. The former MLB slugger, and admitted doper, severed his left-hand middle finger last month when his handgun accidentally misfired at home while he was cleaning the firearm. Doctors reattached the digit, but last week the 50-year-old announced on Twitter that the limb had fallen off and that he planned to sell it on eBay, along with his flashy gun. Now he says the story about the finger falling off in the middle of a poker tournament was all part of an elaborate joke he devised after seeing a fake finger for sale in a Halloween shop, TMZ reports. So much for owning a piece of baseball history. Scroll down for video . Off the market: Jose Canseco (left) tweeted last week that his finger, recently reattached after a gun accident, had fallen off. He has since told TMZ that the finger never fell off. Pictured above with fiancée Leila Knight (right) Canseco had sports fans gearing up to start a bidding war last week when he wrote a series of prank tweets, saying he was going to sell his finger and gun. 'I will soon put the finger that fell off in the poker tournament on eBay for sale,' Canseco tweeted Monday night. 'The eBay ad will read slightly used middle finger with 462 home runs could be used as a stirring straw for drinks,' he joked. Canesco went on to offer the finger as a package deal, with the 45-caliber Remington gun that shot it off on October 29. However, there were signs that it was a joke then since firearms and human remains are not allowed to be sold on eBay. Canseco's lighthearted attitude about the painful injury is marked change from last month, when he broke down in tears about the incident to Inside Edition. Describing what happened, he said: 'At first I heard it go off and I actually grabbed the gun and put it on the table. '(I) thought nothing had happened. Then I look at my hand and my finger’s blown off.' Canseco explained the bullet only narrowly missed his fiancée, swimwear model Leila Knight, who was standing nearby. She quickly ran to his aid. 'I was telling Jose not to look at his hand because he kept saying that he felt nauseous and said he was going to pass out,' Knight told Inside Edition. Accident: The former MLB star, who admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs during his long career, accidentally shot off his left-hand middle finger last month while cleaning his handgun at home in Las Vegas. Pictured on the left in July 2013, and on the right playing for the Oakland Athletics in 1992 . Knight wrapped his hand in a towel and called 911. 'I’m just glad nothing happened to her (Knight),' Canseco said. 'If it’s a lesson having to lose a finger, so be it.' Knight said her fiancée had been at a shooting range a few days earlier. He then decided to clean the weapon but didn't realize it was still loaded. 'The middle finger was hanging by a thread, and I wrapped his hand in a towel and then called 911,' Knight told the newspaper. 'He blew away an artery and a big bone chunk.' The Cuban-American dominated the MLB with his hitting prowess in the 1980s, but later admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs for much of his career. Canseco is a right-handed batter who hit 462 career home runs and was a six-time All-Star. He also played for Texas, Boston, Toronto, Tampa Bay, the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox during a career that spanned from 1985 to 2001. It could have been much worse: In an emotional interview last month, Canseco described how the bullet almost hit his fiancée Leila. The couple seen above in a picture posted to Leila's Instagram on November 19 .

A Muslim activist has labelled Islamic State militants 'w**kers' and says teenagers who travel to Syria to join the terror group deserve to be 'locked up'. Zaky Mallah, from Sydney, made the comments during an appearance on Channel Ten's The Project. Mr Mallah was the first person to be charged with terrorism back in 2003 after he made a video which Federal Police and ASIO said contained a planned suicide attack on federal government offices in Sydney. Scroll down for video . Muslim activist Zaky Mallah, from Sydney, called Islamic State militants 'wankers' and says teenagers who join the terror group deserve to be 'locked up' He spent two years in the maximum security Multi-Purpose Unit at Goulburn prison awaiting trial, before being acquitted. Mr Mallah's comments come one day after a propaganda video for Islamic State featuring Sydney teenager Abdullah Elmir surfaced. Earlier this year, the 17-year-old disappeared from his Bankstown home in June, telling his mother he was going fishing. On Wednesday night, The Project's Carrie Bickmore asked Mr Mallah what he would say to teenagers looking to travel to the conflict zone. His comments come after Abdullah Elmir, from Sydney, appeared in a propaganda video for Islamic State . The activist said he would 'discourage them' from joining the beheading extremist group and urged them to think about what they were doing to their families, and took aim at Islamic State. 'These idiots, these wankers [IS fighters]... are giving Islam and the Muslim world and Islamic community in Australia a bad name,' Mr Mallah told The Project. 'For those who are considering to join ISIS, I hope ASIO is onto you. 'I hope your passport is refused and I hope you are arrested and locked up until you wake up to yourself and realise the harm you are doing to the community and greater Australia.' Mr Mallah said using social media as a recruitment tool was why it seemed like more teenagers were taking action and travelling to the Middle East. 'With social media and YouTube, there's a lot of ISIS videos – it's like hardcore porn – a person gets interested in such footage, black banners running around and you see people from all around the world coming together for a cause,' he said. 'A lot of these people in Islamic community see this and say "Why not?" and before you know it, they're at the airport flying making their way to Turkey and then they're at the border ready to cross into Syria.' Mr Mallah was the first person to be charged under the Australian terror laws in 2003, but was acquitted . Having made his way to Syria himself in 2012 to fight with Free Syrian Army rebels, Mr Mallah said it was 'very easy' to get into the country - all you had to do was pay $50 and someone was more than willing to help you. Mr Mallah told Daily Mail Australia that all he wanted was to see Syria free from Bashar al-Assad's regime. 'I know the Islamic community in Sydney, we’re very passionate,' he said. 'The Sunni Muslim community wants to get rid of Bashar al-Assad.' Mr Mallah said Australia's Syrian community wanted to go over to the Middle East and fight but it was illegal for them to do so. 'Maybe Australian authorities can let us go over and fight as long as we don't join ISIS,' he said. 'ISIS is the most brutal group and people think joining it will help.'
Sydney's Zaky Mallah made the comments on Wednesday's The Project . He said teenagers who want to join the group should consider their parents . Mr Mallah added: 'I hope ASIO is onto you' and that IS fighters were 'idiots' Comments come after a Sydney teenager was seen in IS propaganda video .

The England squad continued to close ranks around Alastair Cook as they prepared for Wednesday’s crucial third one-day international against Sri Lanka. With the tourists 2-0 down in the seven-match series and Cook’s contribution a patchy 32 runs from 54 balls, the pressure is on the captain to perform a double rescue act: save his side – and save himself. And he will be telling himself that the two come as a package. Off-spinner James Tredwell became the latest player to loyally defend his skipper, describing Cook as ‘a class player’ and insisting: ‘I’m sure there is a score around the corner’. The pressure on England captain Alastair Cook continues to mount in Sri Lanka . But England off-spinner James Tredwell has leapt to his skipper's defence ahead of the third ODI . Cook was on the sweep during practice ahead of the clash with Sri Lanka in Hambantota . But that corner is in danger of looking more like a dead end. If England fail to win four of their last five games – a task that looks beyond them after they succumbed with alarming ease in Colombo on Saturday – they will have lost five bilateral one-day series in a row under Cook. A heavy series defeat in this series, plus the continuation of Cook’s personal drought – he has not passed 80 in one-day cricket since June 2012 – could leave the ECB hierarchy in an embarrassing position, especially with the captain understood to be desperate to turn things around. Between now and the start of the World Cup on February 14, England have a maximum of only 10 one-day internationals. National selector James Whitaker insisted two months ago that Cook would be captain at the World Cup. But even his closest allies are struggling to sustain a convincing defence. In the past few days Sir Ian Botham, Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen have all called for him to resign, though many feel Cook should have quit the format after leading a Test revival against India in the summer. Kevin Pietersen pleaded with Cook to resign after the humiliating second ODI defeat in Colombo . Ben Stokes (left) and Tredwell bowl during the session ahead of another one-day clash . Ian Bell chats to England coach Peter Moores during a net session on Monday afternoon . Eoin Morgan was one of the England batsman who struggled for runs on Saturday in Sri Lanka . Tredwell, though, was unconvinced that a crisis is brewing. ‘Everyone keeps going on about him, but we don’t really notice it in the dressing room,’ he said. ‘He’s pretty level-headed and calm about it.’ It might help if Cook’s obvious replacement within this tour party, Eoin Morgan, was on top of his game. But he is without a one-day half-century in 14 innings. For the moment, the magic has deserted him. Without it, England will have little chance of mounting a serious assault on the World Cup. ‘Whenever someone goes through a slump, it can become difficult,’ said Tredwell. ‘We all know what Eoin is like. He is a very astute person and he’s working very hard. ‘It is frustrating for everyone really. We’re all working as hard as we can on our skills and when things don’t go right it is not a nice feeling. ‘Maybe some of our skills are not up to scratch and that is what we’re trying to put right. If we get everything right in the same game we’re going to hurt people.’ The worry is that England – already missing the injured Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad – lack the all-round quality to compete with a Sri Lankan side who have got their recent 5-0 hammering in India out of their system. They may not even be too inconvenienced by Mahela Jayawardene’s withdrawal from the third one-day international for personal reasons . Attempts have been made to rationalise the two defeats in Colombo. England admit they bowled badly in allowing Sri Lanka to post 317 in the series opener, and Cook said he had been wrong to bat first in the second game on Saturday. But these are details, and there is no mistaking the bigger picture. Here, amid the dense vegetation of Sri Lanka’s south coast, it feels easy to go missing in the jungle. England’s one-day team needs to find itself again – and fast.
James Tredwell backs Alastair Cook to turn England fortunes around . England are two-nil down in the ODI series against Sri Lanka . Cook has struggled for runs at the top of the order for the last year .

Cybernetic arms, unicorns, cupcakes and women turning into huge spiders are but a few of Killer Is Dead's quirky delights. But this is no surprise given that it's developed by Goichi Suda, popularly known as Suda51- the outlandish mind behind the acclaimed No More Heroes and Killer7. But to say Killer Is Dead is in the same league would be inaccurate - due to some missteps in the gameplay and graphics departments. Not a sight for sore eyes: There is something impressive about the style, but the colour scheme is way off . You play Mondo, a pencil-thin assassin and womaniser who wakes up to find he has a cybernetic arm (as you do). Mondo and his annoying assistant Mika then join the Bryan Execution Firm - where a lady called Eva sends him on missions to destroy monsters and a muscled man called Bryan smokes cigars. Then there's the gameplay, which plays in a similar way to Devil May Cry. You're encouraged to mix light and heavy attacks, and can use your cybernetic arm to fire different types of ammunition - ranging from bullets to a freeze ray. Sadly, it's incredibly repetitive and extremely easy - and although you can accumulate enough 'blood' to unleash a devastating execution move - the limited repertoire of finishers grates by the end of the game. Mondo's inability to jump, too, is a bizarre decision especially given the multi-layered level design. Visually the game is incredibly inconsistent. The colour pallet really isn't for everyone's tastes - and while environments are varied - ranging from an oversized candy house to the Moon - the colour choice looks deeply unpleasant at times. Fans of Suda51 may find the dialogue amusing, the main vehicle for humour being Mika. But for most, she will soon become incredibly tiresome - an annoyance who's so desperate for attention that it ultimately takes away from what little narrative there is. In-game and texture quality has been sacrificed to keep the framerate smooth - and to its credit,  there's almost no slowdown even during the game's more demanding boss sections. Where Killer Is Dead claws back a points is away from the action. There are inventive mini games where you have to impress women one minute or run over as many enemies with a motorbike as possible the next. There are also moments during the . cinematics that are beautifully directed. A shot where Mondo is running . across the surface of the Moon is particularly memorable. As is an early . scene involving Bryan and a killer you execute. Bland: There are some memorable moments away from the campaign, such as trying to help Mondo woo women, but the bread and butter gameplay isn't as challenging as it should be and soon gets repetitive . Alas, for the most part, Killer Is Dead is forgettable. And although hardcore Suda51 fans may find some solace here, it will be too obscure for many. Killer Is Dead is out on Friday August 30. Disagree with Talal? Let us know what you think on Twitter: @DailyMailGames and on Facebook: Daily Mail Games.
Bizarre colour palette, narrative and overall presentation . Solid fighting mechanics backed up with an impressive framerate . Inconsistent standard of voice-acting and Mika, your assistant, grates . Fans of Suda51 may find some solace here .

London (CNN) -- There are few places in the world where you can see ancient statues, imperial European jewellery, masterpieces by Pieter Bruegel, paintings by Picasso and sculpture by Henry Moore all under one roof. But for a week starting Friday, you can see the finest examples of art from antiquity to the present day displayed at TEFAF, The European Fine Art Fair, in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The highlights of this year's fair include a necklace once owned by Emperor Maximilian II's wife, an antique cabinet and mechanical organ playing Beethoven's "Battle Symphony," a painting of the Madonna and Child once owned by Napoleon III and a representation of Marilyn Monroe's mouth in rubies and pearls by Salvador Dali. Now celebrating its 25th year, the fair remains one of the most important events on the annual art calendar. "It doesn't compare to any of the other fairs" said dealer Dino Tomasso, who is exhibiting at the fair for the first time this year with a showcase of Renaissance and Neo-Classical sculpture. "It's talked about all year long, the quality is exceptional [and though] it's not the easiest place to have a fair, people travel from all over the world to come to it," he continued. Fabrizio Moretti, a dealer and expert in Italian Old Master paintings who is also on the board of trustees for the fair, said: "The thing that [the fair organizers] really strive for is the quality, and a new buyer can buy with confidence." His gallery, Moretti Fine Art, is exhibiting a 1715 terracotta figure of a lion, thought to be the model for a commemorative monument to Queen Anne of England, and a painting by Pascualino Veneto of the Madonna and Child that was once owned by France's Napoleon III. It is this high quality of objects that makes TEFAF such an important event for art lovers, said Titia Vellenga, a spokesperson for the fair. "What has created the fair's reputation is primarily that from the beginning we had a very strict vetting procedure, which leads to dealers bringing pieces that are really exceptional and this in turn attracts the really serious collectors," she said. "So when you have a spiral like this, it continues to attract really exceptional works of art," said Vellenga. Richard Knight, Christie's International Co-Chairman of Old Masters and 19th Century Art, was joint chairman of the fair for two years before moving on to Christie's and was responsible for helping to set up the vetting system. "One of the things I was responsible for was deciding that we would have no exhibiting dealers on the vetting committee, which now comprises all museum professionals," he said. "This is all designed to give confidence to the clients, who know that what they're going to buy will have been vetted by the most professional people in the market today," he continued. This comprehensive vetting system also helps insulate the fair from rumblings in the financial markets. "One of the lovely things about the standard of the fair is that dealers vet themselves before they even go because they know that a fair that isn't of the highest standard is not frankly in this present market going to suit their best interests," said Knight. And exhibiting a broad range of fine arts and antiquities from across the world guarantees an international roster of clients. In 2011 alone, TEFAF drew over 70,000 visitors from 55 countries and the fair organizers are expecting to see more and more Chinese and Brazilian visitors to the fair in future. "There is quite a positive mood in the art market," said Vellenga. "People are still buying art and they see it as an alternative asset but they really want high quality and that's what they can find at TEFAF," she said.

Highlights include necklace owned by Viennese Empress, works by Bruegel and Picasso . Fair's organizers are confident, despite gloomy financial outlook .

(CNN) -- A liberal Democratic congressman who came under fire for a lewd photo that briefly appeared on his Twitter account over the weekend told CNN Wednesday that he did not post the image. Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner spoke to CNN's Wolf Blitzer a day after a contentious exchange with reporters in which he refused to directly answer any questions about the picture. On Wednesday he said he had hired a law firm to look into the matter. But he declined to directly answer whether he appeared in the photo. "Photos can be manipulated. Photos can be of one thing and changed to something else. We're going to try to get to the bottom of what happened," he said. The photo showed the lower body of a man wearing underwear. A conservative blogger who broke the story has called for a full investigation of what he said was either the hacking of a congressman's account or something Weiner wants to hide. But Weiner told CNN he did not think such steps are necessary to deal with what he said was internet spam, an issue that many Americans face. "Just because it happened to Congressman Weiner on his personal account doesn't mean that the taxpayers should pay for an investigation," he said. "I'm going to turn it over to some people who are going to give me advice on what to do next. "This seems like it was a prank to make fun of my name, the name Weiner. It happens a lot," he added. Asked whether he was protecting anyone, Weiner replied, "Yes, I'm protecting my wife, who every day is waking up to these insane stories that are getting so far from reality. You know, we've been married less than a year." He also declined to say what he had written in direct messages to Twitter followers. "I'm not going to get into how I communicate with people on social media. There was nothing ... inappropriate," he said. An e-mail that Twitter sent to members of Congress Wednesday lists several online security tips, according to a copy of the e-mail CNN obtained. The message does not specifically mention the photo posted on Weiner's page, but notes that questions about account security have surged recently. "Some of you inquired today about the security of Twitter accounts," Twitter's Adam Sharp wrote. "While we won't comment on individual accounts, news reports of the past few days are a good reminder of the importance of actively protecting your account credentials." Weiner on Tuesday told reporters he wasn't interested in talking about the issue any more, saying he already made statements over the Memorial Day weekend after the photo turned up on his Twitter account Friday night. In a heated exchange with reporters, he repeatedly dodged direct questions about the photo. "If I were giving a speech to 45,000 people, and someone in the back threw a pie or yelled out an insult, I would not spend the next two hours of my speech responding to that pie or that insult. I would return to the things that I want to talk about," Weiner said in response to a question about whether he sent the lewd photo to a Seattle woman. He also refused to say why he hasn't asked law enforcement to investigate if in fact his account was hacked, as he has said it was. Despite repeated efforts by reporters, Weiner did not directly answer questions about the photo. In earlier comments, when asked if the photo was of him, Weiner deflected the question. "I'm not going to talk about this anymore," he said, adding: "I'm going to get back to the conversation I care about," including economic issues and what he calls a conflict-of-interest situation involving conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on the health care reform law. The New York Democrat is a leading liberal voice in Congress. Asked several questions about the Twitter situation Tuesday, Weiner stuck to his message. "I understand you're doing your job, but I'm going to go back to work now," Weiner said at one point. When asked if he was concerned about being hacked, he responded: "I'm going to return to working on the things I care about. I participated in the story a couple of days now, given comments on it. This is a distraction and I'm not going to let it distract me." When a reporter noted the distraction might go away if he answered the questions, Weiner answered: "I'm not convinced of that. "I'm not convinced there's any value of me talking about it," Weiner said. Asked again if he was the man in the photo, Weiner responded again that he had made previous statements and now it was time for him to get back to work. On Wednesday, Weiner told CNN that he regretted "the way that I handled it yesterday and I'm trying to do a better job today." Previously, Weiner blamed the photo on a hacker who got control of his social-networking accounts and played a prank. Weiner's spokesman, Dave Arnold, said Monday the congressman has retained an attorney to look into the situation. No formal criminal investigation has been launched, which rankles Andrew Breitbart, whose conservative website biggovernment.com first reported the photo on Weiner's Twitter account in connection with a tweet to a Seattle woman. Breitbart, who has been involved in questionable tactics against Democrats and liberals in the past, told CNN on Tuesday that the case warrants further investigation. "There's something fundamentally different between a prank and a hack -- a prank is innocuous, a hack is criminal," Breitbart said, later adding he wanted a full investigation by the FBI and Capitol Police. However, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Tuesday he believed the situation was a harmless prank unworthy of further investigation. "Twitter is not a very secure environment," Toobin said, noting that information on the site can be unreliable "and doesn't even come from the people it appears to come from." He added: "There's a famous expression -- don't make a federal case out of it." CNN's Kate Bolduan, Dana Bash and Rachel Streitfeld contributed to this story.

Bhubaneswar, India (CNN) -- [Breaking news update 12:09 a.m.] . There have been at least four confirmed deaths from Tropical Cyclone Phailin, Amitabh Thakor, deputy inspector general of Brahmapur, Odisha, told CNN. Three were killed Saturday; a fourth was confirmed dead Sunday. Local police told CNN's sister network in India, CNN-IBN, that seven people had been killed by falling trees. [Last update at 10:24 p.m.] . In morning light, India assesses damage from Cyclone Phailin . (CNN) -- Morning light on Sunday revealed some of the damage from Tropical Cyclone Phailin, which made landfall on India's eastern coast as the strongest storm to hit India in 14 years. Power lines and trees were down and cars were overturned near the spot where the center of the storm struck the coast around 9 p.m. (11:30 a.m. ET) Saturday in eastern Odisha state, along the Bay of Bengal. Debris littered wet streets, roofs were torn off houses and windows on buildings were smashed in Brahmapur. Odisha's director-general of police, Prakash Mishra, told CNN that two men and a woman were killed by trees brought down by heavy winds in the state. Local police in Odisha told CNN's sister network in India, CNN-IBN, that seven people had been killed by falling trees. Hurricanes are known as cyclones in the Indian Ocean, and the wind speed at landfall -- 140 mph -- made it equivalent to a Category 4 hurricane. India evacuated more than a half-million people in advance of the storm, hoping to avoid a repetition of what happened 1999, when a cyclone claimed 10,000 lives. "We have taken a zero-casualty approach," said Odisha state disaster manager Kamal Lochan Mishra. "If people do not move, force will be used to evacuate them." Since Friday, Phailin has brought nearly 8 inches of rain to Odisha's capital of Bhubaneswar, about 30 miles from the coast. The city's average rainfall for October is 6.5 inches. The storm will continue to fall apart as it moves over land, but tropical-storm-force winds are still possible through early Monday, said CNN Meteorologist Judson Jones. Rainfall will also be a problem as Phailin moves up toward the Himalayas in Nepal. Multiple states in the region were under weather warnings for excessive rainfall and thunderstorms for most of Sunday and into Monday, Jones said. 500,000 people evacuated . Residents were evacuated to safer places in Odisha and the neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh, national disaster-management authority chief Marri Shashidhar Reddy said. More than 400,000 were moved to safety in Odisha alone, he told CNN. Many of those evacuated from low-lying coastal areas of Odisha left on foot or by bicycle, Kamal Lochan Mishra said. They are being housed in nearly 250 emergency shelters set up in sturdy buildings like schools and government offices. The Ganjam district of Odisha is expected to be the worst hit, with disaster preparedness efforts concentrated there, CNN-IBN reported. The India Meteorological Department warned of extensive damage to kutcha houses, those made of flimsy materials like mud and bamboo, as well as damage to old buildings. Power and communication lines are likely to suffer large-scale disruption. Extensive flooding will also disrupt rail and road traffic, and crops are likely to suffer major damage, it said. In Gopalpur, a coastal resort town in Ganjam, restaurants were shuttered and streets deserted Saturday afternoon, as rain lashed down. Tourists and local residents were asked to leave the town. Power was out in coastal areas including Kalingapatnam, from where about 80,000 people were evacuated to relief camps, CNN-IBN reported. Some fishermen earlier told the broadcaster they had defied the order to leave, anxious to see what happened on the shore. Military deployed . Some fear a repeat of what happened on October 29, 1999, when Cyclone 05B, also known as the Odisha Cyclone, made landfall in the same area, killing 10,000 people. It was the strongest tropical cyclone recorded in the Bay of Bengal, with winds of 155 mph at landfall, and it caused more than $2 billion in damage. In advance of the storm, military units and National Disaster Response Force personnel were deployed to coastal areas with relief supplies and medical aid, CNN-IBN said. More than 20 medical teams flew to the region. Federal and state government ministers are being briefed on the situation, the cabinet secretary said. All flights to Odisha have been canceled and train services in the state are also disrupted, CNN's sister network reported. Disaster preparedness . International humanitarian organization World Vision said it was helping local community groups prepare for the cyclone's arrival. "In a storm of this magnitude there is the potential for widespread damage to crops and livestock in the low-lying coastal areas and houses completely wiped away," said Kunal Shah, the head of World Vision's emergency response in India. "So while we are praying this storm loses intensity, we're also preparing." The organization has worked for the past several years to train local people in disaster preparedness -- including search and rescue, basic first aid and how to protect livestock -- and has thousands of emergency response kits ready to hand out where needed. "We believe communities are better prepared than they were when the devastating cyclone hit in 1999," said Shah. CNN's Lonzo Cook reported from Bhubaneswar and Harmeet Shah Singh from New Delhi and Laura Smith-Spark wrote and reported in London. CNN's Khushbu Shah, Tom Sater and Ivan Cabrera contributed to this report.

(CNN) -- Roots ripped out of the ground as a large oak tree fell toward Olga Raymond's front door. With it came a power line. Raymond had just left her one-story home in Mansfield, Connecticut. Neighbors told CNN affiliate CTNOW that a smaller pine tree had already snapped off onto Raymond's roof, startling her. She had a flashlight in hand and was on her way to a neighbor's house when the bigger tree crashed down. Interactive: Remembering the victims . The 90-year-old woman -- a "spirited" bowler and grandmother of four -- was killed instantly. Across the Northeast, more stories such as Raymond's are being reported. Another tree, another town, another broken home. And the death toll from Superstorm Sandy climbs. New York after Sandy: A tale of two cities . Sandy battered the coast with 90-mph winds, leaving at least 165 dead from Haiti to Canada. More than 95 were killed in the United States. Many of the victims were believed to be safely holed up in their homes. "When Mother Nature sends her wrath your way, we're at her mercy, and so all we can do is stay prayerful and do the best that we can," Atlantic City Mayor Lorenzo Langford told CNN. How you can help . 'This is our friend' Friends of Angela Dresch, 13, were walking along a tattered road in Tottenville on New York's Staten Island when they spotted a photo lying among some debris. They rushed to give it to their pastor, the Rev. Francis Dias. "They picked it up and showed it to me and said 'This is our friend, Angela,' " Dias said. "It had floated from the house onto the road." Angela was one of the first victims of Superstorm Sandy identified on Staten Island. The teen's body was found not too far from her home early Tuesday after a surge of water demolished her family's house on the edge of the borough's south shore, according to SILive.com. Neighbors told SILive.com that the family had evacuated from Irene last year and were robbed. This time, they decided to stay behind. George Dresch was reported missing shortly after the storm passed through. His body was discovered late Wednesday blocks from his house, according to SILive.com. His wife, Patricia, was found earlier in the week and transported to the hospital, where she is reportedly in stable condition. The Dreschs were dedicated parishioners at Our Lady Help of Christians Church, Dias said. Patricia Dresch is the secretary to the religious education program's coordinator. "Patricia has served our community for over 20 years as a dutiful and faithful catechist," Dias said. "The parishioners -- both parents and students -- love her and respect her very much." George Dresch was always at the church helping out, Dias said, whether it was for the education program or the Christmas pageant. Support has been pouring in for his wife as she struggles to recover and deal with the loss of her husband and youngest child. Angela's friends have set up a memorial page for her on Facebook. "Her classmates are devastated," Dias said. "Can't sleep, dying inside knowing that this nightmare is the reality we have to face," the page's admin Giovanna Cocuzza posted. "I know you're up there Ang, please help us get through this. We love you and miss you so much. Why did you have to go?" 'All-star' angels . Shortly before her younger brother was killed, Ashley Robson was weathering Superstorm Sandy like many others in New York. "Collecting rain that is coming through the roof #thankssady (sic) #couldbedoingsomethingsomuchbetter," the teen tweeted at 5:52 p.m. Monday. Less than two hours later, Michael Robson, 13, and his friend Jack Baumler, 11, were killed by a 100-foot oak tree that crashed into the family room where they were seeking shelter. The small suburban town of North Salem is now in mourning. "Waking up this morning and realizing it wasn't just a bad dream. ... My love prayers go out to both families #ripjackandmichael," Camilla Fay tweeted Tuesday. "My heart is breaking a thousand times over," Talyah Fae posted. Michael and Jack used to play basketball near their homes on Bonnieview Street. Neighbors and friends told The Journal News that they were good kids and tight friends. "Heaven got two all-stars too soon," said Daniel Seymour, Jack's uncle. Katrina, Joplin survivors offer advice to Sandy victims . In the line of duty . #LODD stands for line of duty death. It's used to describe the brave men and women who fall while serving their communities -- working to save others in times of need. Russell Neary, 55, a lieutenant with the volunteer fire department in Easton, Connecticut, was killed Monday night while responding to a call, according to CNN affiliate CTNOW.com. Debris blocked his truck's route on Judd Road; he was working to clear a path when a tree limb struck him. "It was a line of duty death," Easton Fire Chief James Girardi told NewsTimes.com. "It's the first one we've ever had. And we're not over the shock of it. His death is a tremendous loss to his family, our department and the community." New York Police Department Officer Artur Kasprzak may have been off-duty on Monday night, but he was hard at work saving the lives of those in a house on Doty Avenue on Staten Island. With flood water "surging" into his house, Kasprzak was able to shepherd six adults and a 1-year-old child into the attic, according to James Duffy, a police spokesman. Around 7:30 p.m., he told one of the adults he was going back down to check the basement. When he didn't return, someone called 911. "NYPD personnel from the Emergency Service and SCUBA units immediately responded to the residence using Zodiac boats and Jet Skis," the spokesman said, "but could not access the home due to down, electrified power lines in the water." Officers discovered Kasprzak's body "unconscious and unresponsive" the next morning. "My boyfriend was an amazing man," Kasprzak's girlfriend told HLN in a Facebook message. "He had a heart of gold. He always put others before himself. He was my everything. I am just too upset to speak. Just know that the world lost an amazing person with a huge heart. He will forever be missed." Sandy's flooding: 5 things you need to know . Trapped . At 7:38 Monday night, New Jersey's Mendham Township police received a 911 call about a car accident on North Gate Road. Richard Everett was driving with his wife, Elizabeth, and two of their children when a 100-foot tall, 3-foot wide tree fell on the hood of their pickup. The Everetts were returning from the Blue Crest Riding Center in Long Valley, which they owned and operated. By the time officers arrived, the children, 11 and 14, had managed to free themselves from the wreck. Their parents were still trapped inside. Two passers-by stopped to help police officers as they worked to free the Everetts from the crushed cab. Soon after the fire department and first aid squad arrived to help. Despite rescuers' best efforts, the couple died at the scene. "My thoughts and prayers to the Everett family," @CoreyJett tweeted. "Horrible tragedy no one should ever go through.

Taylor Swift will be welcoming you to New York for the next year, but many of the city's residents are already wishing the megastar had stayed in Nashville. Taylor Swift? What about Jennifer Lopez, Jay Z or even Jerry Seinfeld? Named the city's first Global Welcome Ambassador for its "Welcome To New York" campaign -- she has a song of the same name -- Swift is attracting criticism as a carpetbagger. She bought a $19.9 million apartment in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood this year. It's not exactly the act of a struggling artist from elsewhere, inspired by Frank Sinatra to roll the dice on the city that never sleeps. Or even a local girl from the Bronx riding the 6 train to make it in Manhattan. Her lack of New York tenure led many to question why she's qualified to define New York-isms like the bodega (corner market), the stoop (stairs used like a front porch) and how to say Houston Street ("how-stun"). Taylor Swift's new single to benefit NYC schools . And picking a latte as the food of choice for the city? "Yes, we all know New York lattes -- maple ones -- hold special significance for Swift," writes Tessa Stuart in the Village Voice, "but a latte is not like a slice of pizza, or a bagel, or a pickleback, which is to say it is not a quintessentially, or even an overtly, New York foodstuff." We are not questioning the power of her brand, her kindness to her many adoring fans or her uncanny ability to nail the breakup song. (Listen to "Mean" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and you'll see.) An ambassador to our country's largest and most exciting and diverse city doesn't have to be born there. But surely she needs to have done something there besides spend money and drink lattes. Of course, she's not selling the real New York, where working-class people struggle to find affordable housing (never mind buying a home); where rising retail rents are pushing independent bars, music venues and shops out for "one size fits all" chain stores. She's selling the shiny, clean version that's sanitized and easy and won't snatch your wallet. Maybe she'll get her hands dirty, learn some tough lessons from the city -- despite her money -- and earn her title to represent those 8 million stories that rapper Kurtis Blow loves. In the meantime, we prefer the real version, represented by native and transplanted New Yorkers we love. That's why CNN nominates the following folks who have made a real mark on the city to be our New York global ambassadors. Jennifer Lopez . We know J.Lo spent a cool $22 million to buy an apartment overlooking Madison Square Park, but really, the superstar singer/actress/dancer is a good Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx. And the Bronx, the birthplace of hip-hop and so much good food and culture, deserves its share of tourists. Spike Lee . Spike Lee knows New York. He grew up in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Fort Greene, his parents still live there, and he keeps an office there. And he's angry that gentrification is pushing many African-Americans out while services are improving for the richer, often white, residents moving into the neighborhood. This year at a Black History Month lecture, Lee said his father, a jazz musician, bought a brownstone 46 years ago. And the new neighbors "called the cops on my father. He's not -- he doesn't even play electric bass. It's acoustic. We bought the motherf***in' house in 1968, and now you call the cops?" DJ Kool Herc . Some pinpoint the birthplace of hip-hop as a rec room in the Bronx where DJ Kool Herc and his sister launched a back-to-school party in 1973. He has not made the millions that others have made off his creativity, but he gets the credit for a music style the put the Bronx on the map. And CNN's own Anthony Bourdain thinks he's cool. Jerry Seinfeld . New Yorkers recognize the Soup Nazi with his strict rules for how you may buy his food, the Postal Service that changes its rules on a daily basis, the lousy diner that stays open for some ungodly reason. Brooklyn-born comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who popularized these concepts, is already an informal ambassador to New York. Seinfeld sold his twisted, grumpy, "Seinfeld" version of New York for nine seasons on NBC, and he became a multimillionaire as a result. See his 1990s New York on episodes in syndication and his favorite clips on his website. Fran Lebowitz . Though we love noted writer and speaker Fran Lebowitz's work, we admit there's one slight problem with her nomination: She hates tourism. "Tourism as a number-one industry is a terrible, terrible idea for any city, especially New York," she told Paper magazine. "If you were going to turn a city, which is a place where people live, into a tourist attraction, you're going to have to make it a place that people who don't live here, like. So I object to living in a place for people who don't live here. As it became more and more intense, it became more and more a place where the actual citizens are pushed out to the edges." The Naked Cowboy . Who doesn't love Times Square's Naked Cowboy, known off-duty as Robert Burck? Our favorite cowboy isn't totally clothes-free: For more than 15 years, he's worn his tight white briefs, a cowboy hat and boots for his street performances. Pictures from all over the world crowd his Facebook page, showing lots of sequins and other decor on his derriere. Hey, every city needs a little sex appeal. Lena Dunham (tentative) Yes, we know New York native Dunham is new besties with Swift. Maybe. Dunham's boyfriend, Jack Antonoff (of the group fun.) co-wrote two songs on Swift's new album, so it could be a mix of business and pleasure. But she works and breathes and lives her show, "Girls," in the city. If she could just reflect a more diverse New York than the homogenous city that exists in "Girls," we might move her out of the "tentative" category. In 2000, Brooklyn was about 41% white, 36% black, 8% Asian and 20% Hispanic (of any race). Time to wake up and smell the demographics. Jay Z . Who can dispute Jay Z's nomination after listening to his ode to the city that never sleeps? The city is in his bones. "Me, I'm out that Bed-Stuy, home of that boy Biggie . Now I live on Billboard and I brought my boys with me . Say what up to TyTy, still sippin' Mai Tai's . Sittin' courtside, Knicks & Nets give me high five."
Taylor Swift is New York's first Global Welcome Ambassador . Swift's newest album features a pop ode to the city that never sleeps . Her city bona fides are questionable when compared with other lovers of NYC .

Jack White is incredibly serious when it comes to his music, and even more serious when it comes to his guacamole and bananas. The much admired American musician made an appearance at University of Oklahoma this week and, after getting their hands on his contract for the evening, the student newspaper decided to let the world know all of White's crazy demands and backstage needs before he gets out on stage. It turns out however, that White may be one of the easiest stars ever when it comes to demands, asking for little and even skipping out on alcohol all together, but stressing one thing above all - that his homemade guacamole recipe is made just how he likes it. That and that there be no bananas anywhere in the building. Scroll down for video . Jack White's (above) backstage demands for a performance at the University of Oklahoma were published by the student newspaper . The artist (seen above at the Oklahoma performance) asked for very little, and no alcohol, but did demand his guacamole be made just how he likes it and wrote out the recipe . White's amazing guacamole recipe from his rider . The Oklahoma Daily seemed less interested in then guacamole than in White was being paid that evening though, writing; 'White in the contract is guaranteed $80,000 versus the right to receive 90 percent of the amount earned from ticket sales, which have a net potential of a little over $147,000.' They did however attach the contract, which breaks down how White's guacamole is made. It starts with 8 'large, ripe Haas avocados' which are cut in chunks and combined with four 'vine-ripened tomatoes' diced, half of a chopped yellow onion, a bunch of chopped cilantro, four Serrano peppers that are both 'de-veined and chopped' and some salt and pepper to taste. This then gets gently mixed, so as not to mush up the avocados, and then covered with the avocado pits and the juice of half of a lime so the mixture does not brown. White suggests that it be made early, but not to early, and tossed in the refrigerator. The rider also states this is a 'no banana tour,' and then adds; 'We don't want to see bananas anywhere in the building.' The White Stripes frontman (above with Meg White) was upset the college published his $80,000 fee . Speaking of White, he was none too happy to have his rider go public, and a member of his team let it be known in a letter on his website. It said: 'The most important function of a rider is that it lays out optimal technical specifications to ensure the audience has the best experience possible. For that, Jack hires a team of very qualified touring professionals who write the rider and attempt to execute a professional and pleasant experience for all involved.' The letter the said; 'Part of that is making sure that the tour personnel of about 30 people plus the local venue staff are fed. Contrary to what some believe, Jack doesn’t write the rider nor make demands about his favorite snacks that must be in his dressing room.' Most importantly however, this letter makes one thing clear above all else. 'We recommend you try Lalo’s guacamole recipe,' says the author. 'It’s delicious.'

By . Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor . PUBLISHED: . 10:41 EST, 13 June 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 19:09 EST, 13 June 2013 . The BBC appears to spend taxpayers' money as if it comes from a cash machine, Lord Patten said today. The Chairman of the Corporation's Trust admitted the public’s trust in the BBC had been rocked by revelations about financial largesse and was braced for more damaging headlines over vast severance pay deals to departing executives. But he defended the cost of moving staff to the a new £1billion headquarters in Salford, insisting the only mistake was not keeping checks on how money was spent furnishing the new homes of employees who made the move north. Lord Patten said the public's trust in the BBC had been rocked by revelations about financial largesse and was braced for more damaging headlines over vast severance pay deals to departing executives . The licence fee has been frozen at £145.50 until 2015, and Lord Patten warned that if it did not rise in future there would be a ‘storm’ of protest as services are switched off. But he lifted the lid on the attitude of staff towards spending the public’s money. Speaking at a lunch in Parliament, he said: ‘I think there are particular challenges for us in the BBC because we depend above all else on trust and the trust people have in us.’ He said there were several things about which he is still ‘particularly concerned’. ‘The first is we should be seen to be spending licence fee payers money as though it was not just cash out of an ATM which we could do with as we wanted. ‘We have to demonstrate that we are using licence fee payers money reasonably.’ North: Lord Patten defended the BBC's decision to pay generous allowances to persuade staff to move to the Media City in Salford . Former director general George Entwistle, who quit over his handling of the Jimmy Savile sex scandal, received a £450,000 pay-off last year, double the amount he was entitled to, while Caroline Thompson, the former chief operating officer, was given a £670,000 pay-off. Lord Patten also revealed that in the coming months, there will be more ‘difficult stories’ about the BBC’s use of money. It includes the controversial decision last month to cancel a bungled £100million IT project. ‘We have quite a difficult story this summer to deal with on severance pay which the National Audit Office are dealing with,’ he added. Conservative eurosceptics could be sending the party down the path to 'political suicide', Lord Patten warned. The BBC chairman said it was 'perfectly possible' that David Cameron will be able to achieve in the renegotiation of the UK's membership with Brussels which he has promised. But he warned that the electorate will punish the Conservatives at the ballot box if they appear disunited over the issue.The former European Commissioner said:'If your response to that is that nothing would be acceptable, then I think that would be bad news for the Conservative Party.'If nothing is acceptable, I recall Winston Churchill's very wise observation that the problem with political suicide is that you live to regret it.' BBC Director General Lord Hall has agreed to cap payouts to senior managers at £150,000, a limit Lord Patten said was ‘reasonable’. But he warned against future cuts to the licence fee, even if the country is still in the grip of austerity when negotiations begin. ‘It surprises me that support for the licence fee is substantially higher than it was two, three or four years ago,’ he told journalists. ‘I have no doubt at all that a smaller licence fee would result in cuts in services and every time we have tried to reduce services there has been a storm, either local radio or Radio 6 or other things. ‘We have to produce good programmes. We above all will be judged and our figures for trust and the regard in which the BBC is held will be judged by the quality of the programmes we make at a reasonable cost.’ The decision to move BBC Sport, BBC Breakfast and children's programmes to Salford has been widely criticised for its cost. Last month the National Audit Office found 894 staff were handed an average of £23,000 each to persuade them to move, including 11 who received more than £100,000 for homes worth between £500,000 and £1million. However, they did not have to provide basic evidence of train fares or utility bills to back up their expense claims. Hundreds claimed up to £1,900 a month to cover all rent, bills and council tax in Salford, while others received £3,000 to buy new curtains and carpets. But Lord Patten said he was ‘quite surprised at the hostility in some quarters to Salford’. ‘I think there is slight tendency to think that they haven’t heard of paninis north of Watford. ‘Salford has been a fantastic success and whatever the problems about exactly how much people have been paid for their curtains on the whole it has been a success.’

Luis Suarez helped move Barcelona to within one point of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, scoring in an emphatic win over Athletic Bilbao. He was given the ‘butcher of Bilbao’ treatment by Xabier Etxeita whose first half kick on him went unpunished but who repeated the crime in the second half and was shown the straight red. But despite being left with stud marks above his right knee Suarez finished the night with a smile on his face and his team-mates had plenty to celebrate after one of their best performances of the season meant they took three points from what is a notoriously difficult fixture. Barcelona forward Lionel Messi celebrates after scoring his side's opening goal against Athletic Bilbao . Messi is mobbed by his Barcelona team-mates after firing his free-kick into the back of Gorka Iraizoz's net . Xavi (right) goes approaches Messi (centre) after the latter helped take Barcelona one point off top . Athletic Bilbao: Iraizoz, De Marcos, Etxeita, Laporte, Balenziaga (Aurtenetxe 52), San Jose, Mikel Rico, Susaeta (Benat 69), Lopez, Muniain (Gurpegui 78), Aduriz . Subs not used: Herrerin, Gomez, Aketxe, Williams . Goals: Mikel Rico 59, Aduriz 66 . Booked: Balenziaga 40, Lopez 69 . Sent off: Etxeita 75 . Barcelona: Bravo, Alves (Adriano 69), Mathieu, Pique, Alba, Xavi (Rafinha 74), Busquets, Rakitic, Messi, Suarez (Pedro 80), Neymar . Subs not used: Ter Stegen, Iniesta, Mascherano, Bartra . Goals: Messi 15, Suarez 26, De Marcos (OG) 62, Neymar 64, Pedro 86 . Booked: Alves 45 . Referee: A Mateu Lahoz . Attendance: 43,800 . 'We got the goals early' said Suarez, 'but they kept fighting and we had to match them in intensity to win the game.' The former Liverpool striker linked up with Neymar and Leo Messi to score the second after Messi had scored the first from a free-kick. Athletic made a fight of it in the second half with goals from Mikel Rico and Artiz Aduriz but Barcelona’s front three have clicked into gear just as Real Madrid’s trident have stalled and with Neymar getting on the scoresheet and Oscar De Marcos putting through his own net under pressure from Messi the game was won. Pedro replaced the wounded Suarez late-on and got the fifth. Athletic started with all the belief that Atletico Madrid had shown 24 hours earlier in their win over Real Madrid. They were physical too with Xabier Etxeita going through the back of Luis Suarez. But with another foul on the edge of the area Messi was given his first chance to test the home side’s keeper on 16 minutes and he took it with a free-kick that deflected past Gorka Iraizoz when it hit Aymeric Laporte in the wall. Luis Suarez (left) doubled Barcelona's lead, ensuring three points for Luis Enrique's team at San Mames . Former Liverpool striker Suarez kisses his fingers, as is customary in his celebration after scoring . Neymar, fast becoming the face of Barcelona, fights to take the ball past Oscar de Marcos during the match . It was the sixth straight game that Messi had scored and it took him to 23 goals for the season, just five goals short of the earlier pace setter Cristiano Ronaldo who has 28. On 20 minutes Neymar flicked Messi into space and he crossed for Suarez to rise at the far post and send his header back across the face of the goal. It looked a goal all the way but Iraizoz dived to his right to save to prolong the Suarez drought, but only for another six minutes. His next chance came on 26 minutes and this time Iraizoz could do nothing to prevent the goal. Neymar found Suarez who fed Messi and when he received the ball back from the Argentine, he found the bottom corner with a brilliant first time strike. Neymar controls the ball, as Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao to go within touching distance of Real Madrid . Ivan Rakitic (left), Messi and Neymar celebrate at San Mames as Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao . Suarez's shot ricochets back off Aymeric Laporte's leg as Barcelona looked to break down the Bilbao defence . It wasn’t all Barcelona. Former Real Sociedad keeper Claudio Bravo saved at the back post from Aritz Aduriz who then hit the post with a header. Barça could also have scored again when Xavi crossed and first Neymar and then Suarez failed to convert. Barcelona were flying forward but quick in defence too with Jeremy Mathieu back in the team ahead of Javier Mascherano and getting in ahead of Aduriz to prevent Athletic getting a foothold back in the game. Neymar was then fed by Messi but Laporte came across to make the interception. Alves chopped down Muniain and was shown the yellow card that rules him out of next game. Pedro wheels away in celebration after coming on as a substitute to score Barcelona's fifth goal of the game . Gorka Iraizoz looks up after Pedro's goal for Barcelona secured an impressive 5-2 win at San Mames . Suarez (centre) watches on as Messi falls in front of Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Iraizoz on Sunday night . Suarez could have doubled his tally at the start of the second half when he received another pass from Messi and turned to get his shot away only for Laporte to block. The French Basque was showing why Manchester United were interested in him in January. Athletic were not out of the game and when Messi gave the ball away in midfield they raced away to pull a goal back. It was Aduriz who got the shot away and when Bravo could only parry it and Mikel Rico swept in the rebound. Messi took two minutes to put things right. Suarez was this time the provider crossing from the right for Messi to connect at the far post. His effort hit Oscar de Marcos as it crossed the line. Neymar duels for the ball with Mikel San Jose (right) as Barcelona romped to a convincing 5-2 victory . Xabier Etxeita (centre), who was later shown a straight red card, celebrates Mikel Rico's goal for Bilbao . Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique watches on as his Barcelona side impress away at Bilbao . Neymar scored the fourth from Messi’s assist and it looked as if Barcelona would be able to coast the last 25 mintues but Aduriz beat Bravo from Muniain’s pass to make it 4-2. The old war-horse – one of Spain’s under-rated players and now 33 – had his 100th La Liga goal and he was keeping the home side in the game but only just. After Etxeita had been sent off for kicking Suarez under the referee’s Mateu Lahoz’ nose Barça could breathe more easily. Pedro came on to replace the Uruguayan and from a mesmerizing Messi assist Sergio Busquets crossed for the substitute to make it five. Barcelona have found another gear in 2015. Ever since their talisman took on the coach at the start of the year, elections were called, and the Sporting Director was sacked the team hasn’t looked back. They are now right on Real Madrid’s shoulder and Suarez is finding his range.
Barcelona had the opportunity to close the gap on Real Madrid after Carlo Ancelotti's men lost the Madrid derby on Saturday . Lionel Messi opened the scoring for Barcelona with a first-half free-kick . Luis Suarez doubled Barcelona's lead, but Athletic Bilbao equalised . An own goal made it 3-1, before Neymar put Barcelona 4-1 up . Bilbao again pulled a goal back, but Barcelona scored twice to win 5-2 .

By . Sally Lee . Within the sandstone walls of Sydney's St Matthias Anglican Church, lies over 150 years of history. But a property magnate has proposed that the site, structured in a gothic revival style, should be demolished to make way for a multi-storey carpark as 'St Matthias has ceased to function as a church'. Max Raine, a former chairman of Raine and Horne, believes the church is 'under-used' and has 'much more potential'. Reverend Peter Baker says St Matthias Church in Paddington, eastern Sydney's inner-city, is here to stay . The historic church was built on this very site in 1861 but its history dates back to 1885 . Property magnate Max Raine says the historic site is the perfect spot for a multi-storey car park . However Reverend Peter Baker, assistant minister of the church, refutes these claims and says St Matthias has about 400 parishioners. And the congregation continues to grow. 'Our cultural values of the church itself significantly outweighs the values of a carpark,' Rev Baker said. 'St Matthias has been a vibrant part of the community and our facilities are used regularly.' And he says the Paddington church, in Sydney's inner-city eastern suburb, is here to stay. 'It's not for sale and we're not looking to move thank you very much,' Rev Baker said. 'But Mr Rains is more than welcome to our church. Our doors are open.' Mr Raine (left) says the church is 'under-used' but Rev Baker (right) refutes these claims . Rev Baker says the church site is not for sale as it is a 'vibrant' part of the community . The 19th century church has been structured in a gothic revival style . Mr Raine, who's been in the property industry for about 60 years, says the double street frontage of the church makes it a perfect location for a multi-storey carpark. 'The site is being under-used and I know that from going there several times myself,' he said. 'It's sad to say but the church is under-used and it has so much more potential for even a hospital or a child-care centre.' Mr Raine, an Anglican, says creating a multi-storey carpark will help activate the strip of shops on the street.

(CNN)Where Katy Perry needed a big cat, the New England Patriots were carried to a stunning comeback by the resilience of Tom Brady. The 37-year-old, sacked and twice intercepted, refused to give in as the Patriots -- at one point down by 10 -- fought their way to a 28-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Glendale, Arizona. They were helped by one of the less likely calls in football history, as Seattle threw a second consecutive Super Bowl title into the hands of Malcolm Butler. Patriots rookie Butler made a game-saving interception when the Seahawks, with the ball on the one-yard line and seconds to play, mysteriously chose to pass after an improbable, juggling miracle-catch by Jermaine Kearse. That moment gave Brady and coach Bill Belichick a fourth Super Bowl victory, a feat matched by only two other quarterbacks: Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw. "I just had a vision that I was going to make a big play and it came true," said Butler, 24. MVP Brady said: "This has been a long journey. I've been at it for 15 years. This one came down to the end and this time, we made the plays. "Our defense, what can you say about them? Malcolm, what a play. For a rookie to make a play like that and win us the Super Bowl is unbelievable." Ahead of the game, Belichick had been booed inside Glendale's University of Phoenix Stadium -- the retractable roof, unusually, left open -- as Idina Menzel, the voice of Frozen's Elsa, sang the pre-game national anthem. Belichick and Brady have denied any wrongdoing regarding the lengthy and unresolved 'deflategate' saga, which concerns underinflated footballs in the AFC Championship game against Indianapolis. However, Brady was evasive on the subject in a pre-game interview aired on Sunday, and the jeers as Belichick appeared on the big screen made the feelings of many clear. With that controversy sidelined for the night, the 49th Super Bowl's momentum changed as rapidly as Perry's halftime hits and outfits. The Patriots had largely outplayed Seattle before the interval, Brady wearing down the Seahawks defense drive by drive. Brady, in his sixth Super Bowl, found Brandon LaFell for the opening touchdown. In the process, the Patriots left Seattle's famed 'Legion of Boom' verging on bust. Seattle cornerback Jeremy Lane had already departed the field with an ugly arm injury -- the price he paid for a successful interception -- and, with team-mates Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman all carrying injuries, substitute Tharold Simon became the latest Seahawk on the wrong end of a collision as he failed to stop LaFell. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, essentially anonymous to this point, struck back with the night's first phenomenal pass to 25-year-old rookie and former shoe salesman Chris Matthews. That allowed the NFL's quiet man -- Marshawn Lynch -- to drive over the line and score. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski mowed down KJ Wright to restore New England's advantage, but that only served to cue up one of the gutsier plays in Super Bowl history. With seconds remaining in the half, the Seahawks abandoned the safe option of a field goal. Instead, Wilson wasted just 1.79 seconds in delivering a bullet pass down the throat of a jubilant Matthews in the end zone. Cue Katy Perry, who brought an almost overwhelming array of lights, pyrotechnics and songs to a halftime show she dedicated to her younger self. Arriving on a giant, mechanical lion before graduating to a shimmy with sharks, Perry opened with Roar before cramming in split-second blasts of Dark Horse, I Kissed a Girl, Teenage Dream and -- lastly -- Firework, during which she ascended aboard a shooting star. Guest star Missy Elliott emerged to an energetic Get Ur Freak On, relegating the show's other name, Lenny Kravitz, to the background. When play restarted, Seattle were at the fore. Having barely seen the ball, that last-gasp score sent the Seahawks into the second half in possession and in control. The reigning champions immediately moved up by three, Matthews again wrapping up a 45-yard pass play to set up a Seahawks field goal. After Brady threw his second interception of the night, Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin expertly lost New England's Darrelle Revis by running him into an official -- leaving Baldwin all alone in the end zone, and the NFC champions ahead by 10. Brady had been nowhere near perfect but demonstrated his determination as he shrugged off a poor throw, missing Julian Edelman, to find Danny Amendola and get the Patriots rolling again. Watched by the likes of Paul McCartney, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, the intensity of New England's offense ground down the depleted Legion as the final minutes ticked away. With two minutes remaining, Brady once again tried to find Edelman in the end zone. This time he was successful, and the Patriots had overcome a 10-point deficit. Seattle, however, should have had the last laugh. Having been granted a near-unbelievable slice of good fortune as the falling Kearse used both knees and a hand to somehow hold on to a pass, the Seahawks made what some observers labelled one of the worst calls in football history. On the brink of back-to-back Super Bowl victories, Seattle elected to throw the ball, shunning Lynch and gifting Butler the interception. Following that staggering climax, the game's dying moments descended into a mass brawl which led to the ejection of the Seahawks' Bruce Irvin. By that point, the fight simply delayed an inevitable New England victory. "I can't even tell you, I can't even feel it," said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll of the decision to throw the ball.

They were helped by one of the less", "likely calls in football history, as Seattle", "threw a second consecutive Super Bowl title into", "the hands of Malcolm Butler. Patriots rookie", "Butler made a game-saving interception when the", "Seahawks, with the ball on the one-yard line and", "seconds to play, mysteriously chose to pass after", "an improbable, juggling miracle-catch by Jermaine", "Kearse. That moment gave Brady and coach Bill", "Belichick a fourth Super Bowl victory, a feat", "matched by only two other quarterbacks: Joe", "Montana and Terry Bradshaw. \"I just had a vision", "that I was going to make a big play and it came", "true,\" said Butler, 24. MVP Brady said: \"This has", "been a long journey. I've been at it for 15", "years. This one came down to the end and this", "time, we made the plays. \"Our defense, what can", "you say about them? Malcolm, what a play.

Belichick and Brady have denied", "any wrongdoing regarding the lengthy and", "unresolved 'deflategate' saga, which concerns", "underinflated footballs in the AFC Championship", "game against Indianapolis. However, Brady was", "evasive on the subject in a pre-game interview", "aired on Sunday, and the jeers as Belichick", "appeared on the big screen made the feelings of", "many clear.

(CNN) -- NASA engineers fixed a glitch that threatened to derail a space probe on its way to the moon, the space agency said. The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer suffered a "reaction wheel issue" soon after it was launched on top of a 90-foot rocket from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport, at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia, on Friday, NASA said. "The reaction wheel issue noted soon after launch was resolved a few hours later," said S. Pete Worden, director of NASA's Ames Research Center. "The LADEE spacecraft is healthy and communicating with mission operators." LADEE is designed to "orbit the moon to gather detailed information about the lunar atmosphere, conditions near the surface and environmental influences on lunar dust," NASA said. "A thorough understanding of these characteristics will address long-standing unknowns, and help scientists understand other planetary bodies as well," NASA said. The probe is expected to reach the moon on October 6. After orbiting for six months, it will plunge to the lunar surface to end its mission. Earth's distance from the moon averages about 239,000 miles and varies depending on the moon's position, the space agency says.
