By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 23:18 EST, 19 June 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 23:18 EST, 19 June 2013 . A California man who uncannily resembles a caveman has been arrested after he threw a spear at a passing car. Jeffery Allen Jones, 56, was booked into a Sacramento jail on Tuesday night after he was spotted launching the unusual weapon into traffic. A witness called police at around 7:38 p.m. to report that a man standing in the road had thrown a spear at a passing vehicle. Yawn? Jeffery Allen Jones, 56, was booked into a Sacramento jail on Tuesday night after he was spotted launching the unusual weapon into traffic . According to Sacramento police, the spear became lodged in the car after hitting its front fender. It's unclear who was driving the car or whether Jones knew the motorist. Police presume it was a random attack. Officers arrived on the scene and, after a brief search, located the suspect nearby. Jones was booked into jail for assault with a deadly weapon and is being held. The incident took place on Auburn Boulevard and Annadale Lane. There were no reports of any injuries. Scene: The spear was lodged in the front fender of the car along Auburn Boulevard and Annadale Lane, pictured, in Sacramento . Bizarre: Jones was booked into a Sacramento jail on Tuesday night after he was spotted launching a spear, like that pictured, into traffic . The spear is 6-foot long and weighs about 30 pounds. It was put into evidence, according to officers. Police did not say what the spear was made of. Jones has had six previous arrests for evading his Regional Transit fare and another time for trespassing, according to Fox News. In his latest mug shot, Jones has his eyes closed and his mouth wide open. He is sporting long hair and a bushy, greying beard.

Allen Daniel Hicks Sr was taken in by police in May 2012 after they spotted him veering on the road . A driver who had a stroke on the road died after being left untreated in a jail cell for 36 hours. Allen Daniel Hicks Sr was taken in by police in May 2012 after they spotted him veering on the Interstate 275 in Tampa, Florida. He is said to have been rambling incoherently and dragging his left leg as the policemen booked him into jail. He lay on the floor of his cell for more than a day before being taken to Tampa General Hospital and diagnosed is an ischemic stroke. The 51-year-old went into a coma and died months later, reported the Tampa Bay Times. State officials are now opening a review into health contractors Armor Correctional Health Services Inc almost a year after his death. Armor is responsible for managing prisoners health care in Hillsborough County Jail system. The Department of health has refused to comment or confirm the investigation, but lawyers for Hick’s family say they have been contacted by a medical quality assurance investigator. Armor spokeswoman Yeleny Suarez said the company had not been contacted by the Department of Health, but the Sherriff’s office had been in touch. They add that they: ‘will cooperate fully with ongoing investigations.’ Armor cares for prisoners at 13 country jails and four Department of Corrections in the state. They are also involved in prison management of four other states. They earn $20million per year from Hillsborough alone. The officials left Mr Hicks on the floor of the jail cell without noticing he had had a stroke . Thea Clark, deputy chief legal counsel for the Sheriff's Office, said that jail officials have provided all of their records to the state. This includes jail surveillance video and internal memos that were critical of Armor. Clark sent an internal memo earlier this year stating that a Tampa General Hospital neurosurgeon who treated Hicks ‘was extremely critical of the medical care provided by Armor’ to Hicks during his stay at the Orient Road and Falkenburg Road jails. Mr Hicks, who was from Tampa (pictured), was left in a coma and died months later . Hicks' heirs were paid $200,000 in a wrongful-death settlement by the Sherriff’s Office, in addition to $800,000 paid by Armor . An internal review cites at least ten nurses who were involved in the care of Allen Hick. The Department of Health can take action to suspend or revoke the medical licenses of individuals, but does not have power to regulate many businesses and institutions.

An ESPN anchor suspended for making an offensive remark when referring to New York Knicks star Jeremy Lin has defended himself on Twitter. Anchor Max Bretos has been taken off-air for 30 days for using the phrase 'Chink in the armor' when talking about the basketball player who is of Asian descent. ESPN writer Antony Federico was fired after using the same phrase in a story headline on their mobile website after the Knicks lost to New Orleans on Friday. New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin filed for trademark protection over the word 'Linsanity' this week . On Twitter Bretos said: 'My wife is Asian, would never intentionally say anything to disrespect her and that community. 'Wanted 2 apologize 2 all those I have upset. Not done with any racial reference. Despite intention, phrase was inappropriate in this context.' Bretos said he had learned from the gaffe and that he would make 'every effort' to avoid something like this happening again. Federico also apologised for his blunder - and said he was not trying to be offensive. 'This had nothing to do with me being cute or punny,' he told the New York Daily News. 'I'm so sorry that I offended people. I'm so sorry if I offended Jeremy.' The headline appeared on the ESPN mobile website between 2.30am and 3.05am on Saturday morning. He added that he had used the same headline on stories at least a hundred times before and did not think anything of it. Anchor Max Bretos has defended himself after using the phrase 'Chink in the armor' saying that his wife is Asian . Apology: Anchor Max Bretos apologised on Twitter for using the phrase 'Chink in the armor' when talking about Lin's poor performance in New York's loss to New Orleans . The American basketball star said after . leading the Knicks to a 104-97 win over Dallas yesterday that he did . not think the commentator or headline writer meant to offend. Gone: ESPN writer Antony Federico was fired after using the same phrase in a story headline on their mobile website after the Knicks lost to New Orleans on Friday . 'I don't think it was on purpose or whatever, but (at) the same time they have apologised,' he said. 'And so from my end I don't care . anymore. Have to learn to forgive, and I don't even think that was . intentional. Or hopefully not.' In a statement released yesterday, ESPN apologized . for the headline and also said they are aware of other ‘offensive and . inappropriate’ comments on ESPN outlets. ESPN says a similar reference was made on Friday on ESPN Radio New York, but the commentator was not one of their employees. Lin is the NBA's first American-born . player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent. He has captivated fans by . leading the Knicks to seven straight wins before Friday's loss against New Orleans. This is not the first time that his ethnicity has sparked some racial taboos. Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock . played on an Asian stereotype after a very successful game by Lin when . he tweeted 'Some lucky lady in NYC is gonna feel a couple inches of pain . tonight.' Though he was not fired, Mr Whitlock . later apologized for the comment after pressure from the Asian American . Journalists Association. Another incident occurred during . Wednesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings, the Madison Square Garden . television network flashed a graphic of the player’s face over a . cracked fortune cookie that had a message which read ‘The Knicks Good . Fortune’. The news . comes after the 6ft 3in athlete made an application to hold on to his . 'Linsanity' trademark to appear on t-shirts, action figures and other . merchandise. Two other organisations tried to get hold of it. Max Bretos said he had learned from the gaffe and that he would make 'every effort' to avoid something like this happening again . Back in action: New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin drives to the basket past Dallas Mavericks guard Dominique Jones yesterday . Without ownership of 'Linsanity,' others would be unable legally to use the word without consent. Speaking to the Huffington Post, Washington D.C. trademark . attorney Josh Gerben said that the multiple claims for Mr Lin's word . - by the athlete as well as the two men who are both from California - will most . likely turn into a procedural air ball. That would cost the two competing men time and money for the . win, he notes. The first man to apply for the trademark on February 7 - six days before Mr Lin - is a . man named Yenchin Chang of Taiwanese descent, like the athlete. His word: Fans of Mr Lin spelled out his word 'linsanity' in New York's Madison Square Garden Wednesday which according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's online database, more than one have applied for ownership of . Competition: A rising start for the Knicks who just ended a seven-game winning streak, Mr Lin's clashing trademark filing is expected to take extended time and money to settle with him against two others . 'I wanted to be a part of the . excitement,' he said in a phone interview with Bloomberg News. 'I'm very proud of Jeremy.' While also knowing the lucrative business opportunity before him, Mr Chang admits . potential willingness to sell the ownership to Mr Lin or any other if gained. 'I'll think about it when that time comes,' he said. 'Right . now, I just want to have some fun with it.' The second man to file trademark rights is Andrew W Slayton . who filed on February 9. Mr Slayton said he once coached Mr Lin in high school but . now works as a physical education teacher at a Los Altos high school. Profit: One of the two men who have filed for the word's trademark owns a website that sells t-shirts carrying the athlete's name in various adaptations for slogans like 'born to Lin' In 2010 he purchased the domain Linsanity.com, selling men’s . and women's t-shirts that carry such slogans as 'Lin your face,' and 'born to . Lin.' Some also carry Mr Lin's number 17. 'It's clear that he is trying to sell merchandise using the . New York Knicks brand,' Mr Gerben said after seeing the t-shirt's blue and . orange colours and references to the 'Garden,' or Madison Square Garden where . the Knicks play in Manhattan. 'He should be very careful,' he said. The US Trademark and Patent Office reports it has not . granted 'Linsanity' to any one applicant pending a review of all who have . applied.
'Not done with racial context,' claims Max Bretos . ESPN writer Anthony Federico apologises after being fired over using the phrase in a headline . New York Knicks star Jeremy Lin said he doesn't think the comments were made maliciously .

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Robin Thicke's summertime hit "Blurred Lines" is an illegal rip-off of Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up," Gaye's children claim in court documents filed Wednesday. Fans, journalists and music experts immediately recognized similarities between Gaye's 1977 hit and the 2013's summertime smash, Gaye's heirs contend. The controversy is a high-stakes legal fight involving an alleged conflict of interest with Sony-ATV, the music publisher half-owned by Michael Jackson's estate. Gaye's heirs not only accuse Thicke and "Blurred Lines" co-writers Pharrell Williams and "T.I." Clifford Harris Jr. of copying Gaye's song, but they also contend Sony-ATV failed to meet its responsibility to protect the copyright. The Gaye family contracted with Sony-ATV after the singer-songwriter's death to administer his music catalog, but it also represents Williams' songs, according to a counterclaim filed Wednesday in response to a lawsuit filed by Thicke, Williams and Harris. The publisher, however, refused to sue the "Blurred Lines" writers when the family asked them to do so, the Gaye's lawyer said. As a result they "reluctantly" included Sony-ATV as a defendant in their counterclaim, he said. The "Blurred Lines" writers filed their pre-emptive lawsuit in August asking a federal judge to declare that their song was not a copyright infringement on Gaye's work amid public rumblings about the similarities. Thicke's inital lawsuit contends there are "no similarities" between his song and Gaye's "other than commonplace musical elements" "Being reminiscent of a 'sound' is not copyright infringement," his complaint argues. The Gaye family counterclaim includes Thicke quotes from an interview with Billboard Magazine published in July. "Pharrell and I were in the studio making a couple records, and then on the third day I told him I wanted to do something kinda like Marvin Gaye's 'Got To Give It Up,' that kind of feel 'cause it's one of my favorite songs of all time," Thicke reportedly said. "So he started messing with some drums and then he started going 'hey, hey, hey' and about an hour and a half later we had the whole record finished."Â . Who owns happy birthday? Lawsuit seeks return of millions . The filing also quotes what music journalist wrote about the two songs. New York Times writer Rob Hoerburger: "And that bass line came right from Marvin Gaye's No. 1 hit from the summer of '77, 'Got to Give It Up'." Rolling Stone magazine contributor David Ritz: "When I first heard Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines,' my reaction was the same as millions of other R&B fans: Hey, that's Marvin Gaye's 'Got to Give It Up.' " Vice magazine music critic Paul Cantor: "You probably don't feel guilty for liking 'Blurred Lines.' Maybe that's because it was originally a Marvin Gaye song ("Got To Give It Up") and Marvin Gaye is ... awesome." The filing by the heirs also includes a report from musicologist Judith Finell, who identified a "constellation of at least eight substantially similar compositional features between the two works." "The signature phrase, vocal hook, backup vocal hook, their variations, and the keyboard and bass lines" are substantially similar and they share "departures from convention such as the unusual cowbell instrumentation, omission of guitar and use of male falsetto," it said.

Those tunes "contain substantially similar compositional material in their choruses, including the melodies of their hooks," the Gaye filing contends. The family suggests that Thicke has a "Marvin Gaye fixation."

Harry Camilleri, 34, has been jailed for 10 months after stealing £45,000 from 35 customer deposits . A Mercedes-Benz salesman stole £45,000 from 35 customer deposits for luxury cars to fund his online betting addiction. Harry Camilleri, 34, one of the company's highest earners, has been jailed for 10 months after handing himself in to police and admitting theft. The father-of-one had a large portfolio of prestige buyers and earned £65,000 in commission, on top of a £12,000 salary, at the showroom in Manchester city centre. But he squandered his earnings and ran up debts 'chasing the next big win' online betting, Manchester Crown Court heard. Judge Robert Brown refused a defence appeal to suspend Camilleri's sentence so he could start a new job and pay all the money back. Camilleri's systematic thefts went unnoticed for 18 months, until a customer paying for a car questioned why they had been given two separate account numbers by Camilleri in April this year. Confronted by bosses, 'highly trusted' Camilleri told them it was an honest mistake. But the following day he handed in his resignation, and bosses decided to launch an investigation. The day after, Camilleri handed himself in to police and revealed all, telling an officer, 'gambling is my illness'. He admitted deceiving customers into paying deposits into his own account. Camilleri would then transfer some, but not all the money into the company account. By the time he was arrested, he had stolen between £500 and £10,000 from 35 different customers' deposits. Neil Nehra, prosecuting, said: 'The defendant was employed for nine years and was a well-respected salesman. He was described by the management team as one of the high performers of the company.' Manchester Crown Court (pictured) heard how the father-of-one had a large portfolio of prestige buyers and earned £65,000 in commission, on top of a £12,000 salary, but squandered the cash chasing his 'next big win' Camilleri, of Blackpool, has since repaid £10,000 of the money, and had company payments withheld, bringing the balance of the money owed to £26,000. Adrian Palmer, defending, said: 'It's clear there's a long-standing difficulty with addiction to gambling, but he's a man who works extremely hard - a well-paid, well-respected man who has let himself and his family down.' Mr Palmer said Camilleri's relationship with the mother of his young daughter had broken down following the revelations, and so he had to move back in with his parents in Blackpool. He also said that Camilleri had banned himself from online betting accounts as he sought help for his addiction.

Fury: Bill de Blasio (pictured) went to lengths to praise the protesters' 'peaceful' behaviour despite such chants as, 'What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!' New York's mayor, Bill de Blasio, has been branded a 'total nicompoop' after he used the word 'allegedly' to describe a mob assault by protesters on two police lieutenants. NYPD top brass are furious at de Blasio's implication that the beating may not have happened, claiming no such skepticism is ever shown when officers are accused of violence against civilians. He made the remarks after the two officers were set upon by protesters during a demonstration on Brooklyn Bridge against recent police killings, including the 'chokehold' death of Eric Garner in July. He went to lengths to praise the protesters' 'peaceful' behaviour despite such chants as, 'What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!' He went on to dismiss the assault as 'an incident ... in which a small group of protesters allegedly assaulted some members of the NYPD,' the New York Post reported. 'When cops are the accused, the word 'alleged' never enters into the discussion,' Michael Palladino, president of the NYPD Detectives' Endowment Association, told the paper. Ed Mullins of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, called de Blasio a 'total nincompoop' for his handling of the affair, adding: 'His actions are contributing to the injuries that are being received by the NYPD. 'Maybe he should be out there to take the broken nose for the lieutenant. Ask him if he'd be willing to stand out there and take the punches for the cops.' The incident began when the two officers arrested a City University of New York professor, Eric Linsker, 29, as he tried to pour a rubbish bin onto other cops from a pedestrian overpass. They were punched and kicked in the heads, leaving them needing instant medical attention. Ironically, the officers were from the department's Legal Bureau and were only present at the protest to ensure that demonstrators' civil rights were respected by police. It is the latest controversy in a long-running stand off between New Yorkers and police following a spate of deaths in custody. Scroll down for video .

'Don't insult my sacrifice': De Blasio's comments came days after the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association told him to stay away from funerals of cops killed in the line of duty, posting a form (above) on its website that members could download and sign . They include the death of Eric Garner, a 43-year-old black man who died when officer Daniel Pantaleo attempted to subdue him in Tompkinsville, Staten Island, on July 17, with 'chokehold' restraining technique that is banned under NYPD protocol. Thousands of . demonstrators marched in Washington, New York, Boston, Chicago and Oakland on . Saturday to protest against killings of unarmed black men by . police officers. Organizers said the marches were among the largest in a . recent wave of protests against the deaths that have cast a . global spotlight on race relations in the United States. The rallies were mainly peaceful, though police in Boston . said they arrested 23 people who tried to block a highway. Officers in Oakland, California said they detained about 45 . people for vandalism, failure to disperse, resisting arrest and . other charges after thousands took to the . streets. Decisions by grand juries to return no indictments against . the officers involved in the deaths of Michael Brown in Missouri . and Eric Garner in New York have put police treatment of . minorities back on the national agenda. 'We're going to keep the light on Mike Brown ... on all of . the victims. The only way you make roaches run is to keep the . light on,' said civil rights leader the Rev. Al Sharpton, whose . National Action Network organized the Washington rally. Marchers, including many parents with children, chanted 'No . justice, no peace, no racist police' and 'Hands up, don't . shoot.' Protesters carried signs that said 'All men are created . equal' and 'Black lives matter.' Relatives of Eric Garner and Akai Gurley, who were killed by . New York police, Brown and Trayvon Martin, slain by a Florida . neighborhood watchman in 2012, all took part in the Washington . rally . Then, last week, a grand jury in Staten Island sparked global outrage after it refused to indict Pantaleo over the chokehold that killed the father-of-six. The confrontation began when Pantaleo arrested him for illegally selling cigarettes on the street. In the ensuing tussle, the officer put Garner in the controversial headlock moments before Garner was heard saying: 'I can't breathe.' They turned out to be the last words he ever spoke. He passed out and later died in hospital. His final words became a rallying cry for thousands of protesters who took to the streets in New York and other cities after Pantaleo escaped indictment. A de Blasio spokesman refused to comment on why the mayor chose to include the word 'allegedly' while describing the Brooklyn Bridge attack. 'Last night, the mayor could not have been more clear that violence in protests will not be tolerated and that our police should be commended for the professionalism and service they have displayed throughout these marches,' spokesman Phil Walzak said. The fallout couldn't come at a worse time for de Blasio, whose relationship with the NYPD has soured in recent months. It comes two days after the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association told de Blasio to stay away from funerals of cops killed in the line of duty for his 'consistent refusal to show police officers the support and respect they deserve.' The union posted a form on its website that members could download and sign, barring the mayor and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito from their service. It read: 'I, as a New York City police officer, request that Mayor Bill de Blasio and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito refrain from attending my funeral services in the event that I am killed in the line of duty,' the waiver states.

Top Gear presenter James May has blamed social networking sites for ruining surprises on the show - and says they could spell the end for privacy. The host - dubbed Captain Slow by fellow stars Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond - says that any filming the 'three morons' do in a public place is now immediately filmed or photographed by the public and then posted online. The 49-year-old said that fans post the footage on sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube and ruin any surprises for the viewers. Scroll down for video . The Top Gear presenters, pictured here in the Syrian Desert, are constantly having their surprises ruined by people posting 'spoilers' on social networking sites . James May (right) argues that privacy may become a thing of the past as social media means everything can be shared - regardless of whether you want it to be . And he predicted a time when they will no longer even need film crews because there will be so much pooled footage available on the internet that fans will be able to make their own versions of the BBC2 show. Writing in the current Top Gear magazine he says that previously, people would have had to physically pass an image or video around - but now it was possible to let the entire world see a photo through the powers of posting online. He said: 'These days, it's quite . difficult to surprise you on the telly, because everything we do in any . vaguely public place is immediately filmed, photographed or noted and . then exposed on Twitbook and FaceTube.' May predicted a time where members of the public would be so adept with social media and videos, that they would make the show . Top Gear is the product of an army of experts, but the presenter fears that its surprises are scuppered by people eager to share their filming footage on the internet . He said 'spoilers' that people post are . usually grainy and unprofessional, and highlight how much work and . effort goes into turning the presenters' antics into 'a vaguely . watchable TV programme'. He praised directors, cameramen, sound recordists, editors, producers and experts for creating the 'magic' of the car show. But he claimed soon people would learn how to create professional-looking clip and products. James May and Richard Hammond playing 'car darts', where they fired cars into a quarry using a gas-powered cannon on to a crudely drawn dartboard. Caravan conkers involved suspending the heavy vehicles from cranes, and then smashing them into each other. The trio crossed the English Channel in boats made out of cars. The crew watched as the presenters bobbed up and down in ramshackle-looking vessels. He wrote: 'So I see a future where we don't need to film and edit Top Gear. You will do it for us. 'We will arrange to drive some £500 cars to France (where the producers have come up with a series of challenges), and you will pool your footage to make an item.' The show, which has run for a total of . 18 series, the latest finishing in March 2012, is believed to have a . massive 350 million viewers per week in 170 different countries. It features a number of regular features including a challenge for the presenters, Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car and power laps, where the show's 'tame racing driver' The Stig completes a lap around the Top Gear test track to gauge the performance of various cars. In September, MailOnline reported how co-presenter Jeremy Clarkson was set for a £5million windfall after the BBC bought out his stake in Bedder 6, which he set up five years ago with Top Gear's executive producer Andy Wilman, to exploit the programme's global brand. Bedder 6 has had huge success making money out of Top Gear merchandise, show tours, DVDs and international sales rights. It was understood the total deal for both men was worth around £8million. The money was to come from the BBC’s commercial division. Clarkson has also signed a lucrative new deal to continue presenting BBC 2's popular motoring show for three more years alongside James May and Richard Hammond, and is likely to be paid a fixed annual £500,000 talent fee by the broadcaster up until 2015. The new series returns on January 27.

(CNN) -- Manchester United edged closer to a record 20th English Premier League title despite having to rely on a late equalizer from Robin van Persie to rescue a draw at West Ham. The Dutch striker looked offside as he finished off from close range in a match that left both managers unhappy with the officials. Manchester City's victory over lowly Wigan means they reduced the gap between themselves and United to 13 points but Alex Ferguson's side can still win the title as early as Monday if results go their way. In Wednesday's other English top flight game Chelsea won 3-0 at local rivals Fulham to move back into third place in the table and edge ahead of London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham in the battle for the European Champions League places. At Upton Park, Manchester United were put under pressure right from the start by West Ham, who took the lead after 16 when Ricardo Vaz Te nodded home after being set up by England striker Andy Carroll. United leveled on the half hour mark when Japan international Shinji Kagawa teed up Antonio Valencia to slot home from close range. Just before halftime, Carroll caught United goalkeeper David De Gea after going up for a corner -- a challenge that infuriated Ferguson, who later said it should have been a red card. West Ham retook the lead ten minutes after the break as Mohamed Diame fired a low shot into the corner past De Gea. But United rescued a point when van Persie tucked home from close range after Kagawa's effort had hit both posts, though replays showed he had been offside from the initial shot. United can be confirmed as champions if they defeat Stoke on Monday night, but only if City lose to Tottenham the previous day. Ferguson told Sky Sports: "We had to stand up to a lot, we kept going and twice came back. We had determination and courage to play. I was pleased with the result. "They are very, very aggressive, you hope for a strong referee and I don't think we got that. We don't like losing and they showed that again tonight. Their goalkeeper saved them in the last 20 minutes." His opposite number Sam Allardyce said: "The linesman's taken a famous victory away from us. To draw via a default goal from Manchester United is hard to swallow. "They shouldn't make their mistakes. If players make those kind of mistakes they are dropped. Its a massive decision he's made. I'm bitterly disappointed." City's victory came courtesy of a superb late winner from Argentina striker Carlos Tevez though they were made to live through some nervy moments by Wigan, who are battling relegation. England goalkeeper Joe Hart had to save brilliantly from Wigan striker Franco Di Santo in the first half before Tevez beat two men and fired into the roof of the net in the 83rd minute. "We were so tired. Wigan played good football, I think they will stay up. Carlos's goal was fantastic," City manager Roberto Mancini was quoted as saying by the Premier League. Chelsea cruised to a 3-0 win over Fulham to strengthen their claim on a Champions League spot and move into third place. Two goals from John Terry and a thunderous 35-yard strike from Brazil international settled the west London derby. Chelsea are a point ahead of Arsenal with a game in hand and three clear of Tottenham in fourth. In Italy, Roma set up an Italian Cup final with city rivals Lazio after beating Inter Milan 5-3 on aggregate in their semifinal. Leading 2-1 from the first leg Roma went 1-0 down early on but hit back with three goals, two from Mattia Destro and one from Vasilis Torosidis before Ricardo Alvarez grabbed a consolation for Inter. The final, due to take place at the Stadio Olimpico ground both clubs share, could prove a headache for the authorities after last week's derby between Lazio and Roma was marred by violence, leading to eight arrests. In Germany, Stuttgart set up a German Cup final with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich after beating Freiburg 2-1 while Paris Sanit-Germain were knocked out of the French Cup by Evian.

(CNN) -- A Swedish SWAT team backed by local police arrested four people overnight on suspicion of plotting terror attacks, the Swedish Security Service told CNN Sunday. The four were held in the city of Gothenburg for "probable cause" of preparing the attacks, the highest level of suspicion in Sweden, said Sara Kvarnstrom, a spokeswoman for the security force. She refused to say whether the suspects had been under surveillance or if the arrests resulted from a tip-off, saying she could not discussed details on an ongoing investigation. "Through these arrests we have been able to prevent a situation from occurring," Malena Rembe, head analyst at the Swedish Security Service, told CNN affiliate TV4. Sweden is not raising its terror threat level -- which is currently at 3, with 5 as the highest -- and there is "no reason for the public to be alarmed," she said. "These arrests have not changed this threat level," Kvarnstrom added. An art gallery in central Gothenburg was evacuated shortly before midnight local time, police said, but declined to say whether it was connected to the arrests. A party was going on at the Roda Sten gallery at the time, with about 500 people attending the inauguration of an arts festival, according an interview with a witness in Goteborgs Posten, a local newspaper. The police cordon was removed at 6 a.m. local time, said Ulf Edberg, a spokesman for Gothenburg police. Police have a "number of extra police officers" on the streets of Gothenburg, Edberg said. The prosecutor in charge of the case, Hilding Qvarnstrom, said in a statement on the prosecution authority's website that the investigation is still at an early stage and authorities cannot reveal any details about the arrests. The head of the Swedish Security Service, Anders Danielsson, warned last week that "Islamic terrorism is still the biggest threat against Sweden." "But it is different today," he said, calling it "more complex and unpredictable, both in terms of who could be a target and how they can strike." Al Qaeda is now encouraging Muslim radicals to stay home "and strike where they are," rather than traveling to conflict zones to get experience, said Rembe of the Swedish Security Service. "When individuals with those kind of ideologies act on their own it becomes harder to make a threat assessment," she warned. Stockholm was hit by a suicide bombing in December. The attack on the capital, Sweden's first suicide bombing, wounded two people in a district full of Christmas shoppers. And police arrested two people in Gothenburg, the country's second-largest city, on suspicion of plotting a bombing in October. They were later released without charge, police said. After the Stockholm bombing, Swedish Security Police said the country had almost 200 Islamic extremists who advocate violence, but said there was no indication their number is growing. The police study was commissioned months before the attack in Stockholm. The extremist threat isn't widespread, according to the report, which the government commissioned in February 2010. "The threat from violence-promoting Islamic extremism in Sweden is currently not a threat to the fundamental structures of society, Sweden's democratic system or central government," the summary said. But the radicals are capable of damage, police said. "While violence-promoting Islamist extremist groups do not pose a threat to Swedish society, they are still a threat to individuals and groups, especially in other countries," the report said. The police analysis highlighted the disturbing trend of increasing foreign travel by the radicals. "The most serious potential threat to Sweden is the long-term effects of people from Sweden choosing to travel abroad to join violence-promoting Islamic extremist groups," the police said. "There are currently no signs of falling interest in joining foreign groups." Swedish authorities are investigating involvement in radicalism by Taimour Abdulwahab, the weekend's suicide bomber. His emails before the bombings said that one reason for the attack was Sweden's tolerance of Lars Vilks' newspaper cartoon of the prophet Mohammed as a dog, authorities said. Abdulwahab, 28 -- who had lived in Iraq, Sweden and the English town of Luton -- also cited the presence of Swedish troops in Afghanistan. That cartoon of Mohammed, published in 2007, was also cited in the new report as an example "of local events that may fuel radicalism globally." Sweden's radical networks are typically made up of males between 15 and 30 years of age, with varying backgrounds, most of whom were born or grew up in Sweden, the report said. Several women are also involved, sharing the violence-promoting ideology, but they don't engage directly in security-threatening activities, the police said. At least 80% of the radicals are socially connected, mainly through friendships and the Internet, but the social ties don't make them "one coherent network capable of fully coordinating its resources and working towards the same goal," the report said. Swedish terrorism expert Magnus Ranstorp said that before the December bombing, Sweden thought it was "immune" to terror attacks. "Even (Osama) bin Laden said in early 2003, 2004, that if every country was like Sweden, there would be no terrorism," Ranstorp said. Police called upon civic leaders as well as the Swedish Muslim community to prevent and counter extremism, and they encouraged the public to develop a deeper knowledge of Islam. Though they shouldn't feel a greater responsibility to do so, practicing Muslims and their clerics could be helpful in countering "violence-promoting propagandists active in Sweden and abroad," the report said. CNN's Michael Martinez contributed to this report.

(CNN) -- W. Mark Felt, who leaked information to reporters under the moniker, "Deep Throat," about the Watergate break-in, died Thursday at the age of 95, sources told CNN. W. Mark Felt, known as "Deep Throat," divulged information to reporters about the Watergate break-in. Rob Jones, Felt's grandson, said his grandfather died at his home in Santa Rosa, California. According to published reports, Felt died of congestive heart failure. Felt admitted in a 2005 Vanity Fair article he was the Washington Post's source for many of its 400 stories on the Watergate affair during the early 1970s. The Watergate break-in eventually led to the 1974 resignation of President Richard Nixon. "I'm proud of everything that Deep Throat did," Felt, 92, told CNN's "Larry King Live" in 2006, his first public interview on the subject. Felt's entanglement with history occurred in 1972 after the bungled break-in at the Democratic National Party offices in the Watergate hotel. Felt, an associate director at the FBI, said he was unhappy with the way the administration meddled with the investigation into the break-in, which led him to divulge information to the newspaper. Watch how Felt played a pivotal role in presidential history » . Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, then-rookie reporters with the Washington Post, did stories about the break-in and subsequent cover-up. Both men credited Felt for helping them, but Bernstein said Felt was a tough interview. "He didn't leak. He had to really be squeezed," Bernstein said in a 2006 interview. "He confirmed mostly what we had gotten elsewhere. He didn't want to volunteer a lot of information, yet his role was essential in giving us a solidity and a knowledge that what we were reporting was right." Watch Bernstein praise Felt's courage » . When King asked Felt whether he felt he had done anything wrong in going outside approved channels to get information out, Felt was unequivocal. "I thought I was doing the right thing," he said. Watch Felt's interview with Larry King » . Felt, who retired from the FBI in 1973, had his own legal problems. He was convicted in 1980 on conspiracy charges for authorizing government agents to break into homes without search warrants in a hunt for bombing suspects in 1972 and 1973. When the case went to trial, former President Nixon testified on Felt's behalf. Felt was eventually pardoned in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan. When asked how he would like to be remembered, Felt said, "I'd like to be remembered as a government employee who did his best to help everybody." -- CNN's Alan Duke contributed to this report.

Here, Sportsmail's John Greechan introduces Gordon Strachan's expected starting XI for the clash. CRAIG GORDON . Age: 31 Caps: 40 . The former Sunderland goalkeeper was out of the game completely for two years, beset by injury and dogged by talk he’d never return. After training with Rangers last summer, he signed for Celtic — and now wins his 41st cap four years after his 40th. Craig Gordon has not played for Scotland for four years, but will start against England on Tuesday . STEVEN WHITTAKER . Age: 30 Caps: 27 . The Norwich full back is likely to start on the right but can play on the left. He loves a mazy dash into opposition territory. RUSSELL MARTIN . Age: 28 Caps: 15 . Born in Brighton to a Scottish dad, the Norwich defender has a doggedness that helps him stick to strikers who should really be out of his league. Norwich City defenders Steven Whittaker (left) and Russell Martin (right) will line-up at Celtic Park . I played Scotland three times in my career and the games were always fast, furious and aggressive, but I’ll never forget walking out at Hampden Park. We felt like gladiators heading into the arena — we were waiting for the lions to be unleashed because it felt like we were about to be eaten alive. That was the first half of a play-off to reach Euro 2000, so it was a massive game. GRANT HANLEY . Age: 22 Caps: 16 . The Dumfries-born centre half may give the impression of being a bit lumbering but he can shift. Great potential. ANDY ROBERTSON . Age: 20 Caps: 4 . The youngest member of the starting XI, who was released by Celtic when he was 15, had only played 180 minutes of professional football the last time these two sides met. Blackburn defender Grant Hanley (left) and Andy Robertson (right) will likely complete the defence . You can’t call Scotland v England games friendlies. I had team-mates at Ipswich who I would play with and then against. You wanted to kick lumps out of each other, and that is what happened in those days. Mick Mills was our captain at Ipswich, but (with England) he was against us. You want to beat England and vice versa, that won’t change. But after the game we went on holiday together... and are still talking about it to this day. SCOTT BROWN . Age: 29 Caps: 41 . ‘Broony’ is the kind of snarling, snapping, fiery Scot who used to give English opponents nightmares. JAMES MORRISON . Age: 28 Caps: 34 . The West Brom midfielder usually sits alongside Brown deeper in midfield but can be used further forward where his passing creates chances. Midfielders Scott Brown (left) and James Morrison (right) bring a wealth of experience between them . BARRY BANNAN . Age: 24 Caps: 18 . Slight and prone to playing with his cuffs down over his hands, Bannan is a throwback to a different age. Hugely popular with fans, he plays in the three behind the striker. STEVEN NAISMITH . Age: 28 Caps: 33 . The Everton forward carries a threat from any position in the three-man support unit behind the main striker. His work-rate makes him a certain starter. Barry Bannan (left) and Steven Naismith (right) both ply their trade in the Premier League . IKECHI ANYA . Age: 26 Caps: 10 . Lightning-quick, Anya’s best Scotland moment came when he scored against Germany, later tweeting: ‘Can’t believe I beat Manuel Neuer. I don’t even do that in FIFA!’ CHRIS MARTIN . Age: 26 Caps: 4 . The Scotland coaching staff really love the Derby County forward, who will deputise for the injured Steven Fletcher. Big but mobile, the 26-year-old is a former England youth player who qualifies for Scotland through his dad. Won the first of his four caps in May in a friendly against Nigeria. Ikechi Anya (left) and Chris Martin (right) will be tasked with breaking down England's defence .

Prisons in developing countries can usually be characterized as hazardous and chaotic places for offenders. Due to limited resources, the prisons are left to be run by ruthless gangs. In the Pedrinhas prison in northern Brazil, the decapitation of inmates by a rival gang highlights "the lawlessness" within Brazil's correctional system. Prisons in the Philippines bear many similarities. However, the Philippine prison system is about to go through reformation following last year's passing of the Modernization Act by the Philippine Congress. Plans include the building of a new super-max facility to replace New Bilibid Prison (NBP) to reduce congestion and eliminate gangs within the system. But is this the right path? From over four years of ethnographic research we have conducted in NBP, we don't think so. Gangs dominate prison . NBP, on the outskirts of Manila, is one of the world's largest maximum-security facilities. Recent statistics we have collected from the Bureau of Corrections, which administers NBP, has the inmate population to be now exceeding 14,200. With space for only 5,500, this makes the congestion rate around 260 per cent. Around 95% of inmates belong to 12 gangs that share control of the prison. In these overcrowded conditions, corruption is endemic and contraband, such as drugs and high-calibre weapons, is readily available. Over the past three years, prison raids have uncovered automatic machine pistols and other lethal weapons held by gangs. Two M-16 hand grenades have also been thrown during gang disputes. We have observed how easy it is for inmates to acquire mobile phones. The telephones facilitate criminal activity on the outside to be freely run from the inside. From all this, one can easily conclude that, like Pedrinhas prison, NBP is dysfunctional. However, from participant observation studies and over 100 informal interviews with gang leaders, inmates and prison officials, we have developed an alternative perspective on prison gangs. Why gangs are important . While there is no doubt that gangs are responsible for much of the criminality inside, we found that the gang system (or Pangkat) is not exclusively about crime. In fact, many inmates are kept busy with legitimate activities and "do their time" productively. Since their inception in the late 1940s, NBP's gangs have come to form a crucial part of inmate management and welfare. Much of the negative publicity about NBP only captures a small part of the reality inside. There are, in fact, many positive aspects of gang life in the seemingly chaotic conditions that are often overlooked yet crucial for inmate survival. When prisons become overcrowded and the inmate-to-staff ratio exceeds safe levels (that is, 4:1), the essential task of maintaining order and ensuring the safety and welfare of inmates becomes complex and problematic. To carry out these critical tasks, prison administrators are forced to not only compromise organizational integrity, but also relinquish aspects of their management function to inmate leaders. In NBP, with an inmate to guard ratio of around 80:1, it has become unofficial practice to operate under a system of shared governance. By default and not by design, gang leaders help maintain internal control and safeguard inmates as best they can. Even though prison stability is fragile, gang leaders help prison guards restore stability once disorder occurs. But prison gangs are not all about maintaining order. They also provide inmates with a network of social support, access to material benefits and a source of income. Without these, survival becomes difficult for many. 'Sense of community' Gangs also develop their own rehabilitation and educational initiatives, which are separate to the more resource-constrained programs offered by prison administrators. In another important feature, gangs provide a substitute family for those who have lost contact with outside relatives. Fellow gang mates become brothers and the inmate leaders their fathers (or big brothers). Inmates have told us that it is common for them to call their leaders as "tatay" (father) or "kuya" (older brother), a Filipino cultural dynamic that orders the social standing of inmates. Additionally, inmates are sometimes called "tatay" or "kuya"; a recognition of their respectability and an early indication of their leadership potential. A gang leader stated to us that, as a general rule, those who are industrious, cunning and can produce the most resources are usually elected leaders. Inmate leaders also help manage the prison cell blocks, which is akin to running a mini-city with its own micro-economy. Like a city, leaders are elected, generate income and manage resources to meet the needs of their constituents. They also respond to emergencies and diffuse conflicts. They take responsibility for offenders with special needs by controlling violent offenders, caring for the sick and disabled and even monitoring terrorist inmates. To ensure they remain in office, leaders also host sporting activities and entertainment programs like rock concerts and TV shows. To the casual observer, NBP may seem more like a self-sustaining community than a high-risk volatile correctional institution. The lanes that criss-cross the prison are crowded with inmates working, cooking or playing sport. On most days, inmates with families roam the grounds. It is also common to see children playing or looking at animals in the small zoo. It is evident that one of the most beneficial features of this set-up is the inmates' sense of community. Even though one is inside a prison, the outside environment is being mirrored here. Evolution of prison life . In modern sophisticated open prisons like those in Scandinavia, correctional officials have found that progression through a sentence should be aimed as much as possible at returning inmates to the community. They assert that "the more closed a system is, the harder it will be to return to freedom." Thousands of miles away, we can see that, left to evolve almost by accident, NBP has progressed towards a similar model. While NBP was originally built as a closed, American style high-security facility, over time, the walls have become porous, security has lapsed and deals have been made with inmate leaders to ensure prison order. Consequently, compromises have been made to allow more inmate autonomy. Even mobile telephones, formally considered contraband, are unofficially accepted by prison administration and considered important for rehabilitation as they keep inmates in contact with family. As in Scandinavian prisons, NBP administrators have come to realize that regular family communication helps "sustain emotional ties," as well as giving inmates outside avenues to vent and heal. Much of the existing knowledge on prison social systems is gained from settings where facilities are adequately provided, staff numbers are sufficient and properly trained and operational resources are allocated to ensure prisons run smoothly. In these settings, it is common practice to try to eliminate gangs due to their inherent problems. As such, the popular perception about prison gangs has generally been incomplete. Despite its many drawbacks, the gang system in NBP aids adjustment and survival by lessening the "pains of imprisonment." It also provides inmates with mechanisms to preserve self-identity and self-respect, which, in turn, equips them to re-integrate into the outside community upon release. Time will tell how the new reformation plans will impact on inmates. If they implement an American model of mass incarceration and eliminate gangs, without dedicating sufficient resources to replace the support structures they provide, prison reform in the Philippines is bound to fail. A better solution would be to continue with a more open prison model, formalize the social structure, target corruption, and, over time, reduce inmate dependency on illicit activities.
New Bilibid Prison in the Philippines has around 14,200 inmates, more than twice its capacity . Gangs dominate prison culture, but their influence is not all bad, authors say . Philippines is planning to build a new maximum security prison to reduce congestion . Authors say modernization will fail if resources aren't allocated to replacing gang services .

Nancy Writebol is a loving mother. A devoted wife. A woman of faith. A missionary who has traveled the world to help others. And now, the world knows her as an Ebola patient. Last month, while working in Liberia, Writebol contracted the deadly virus. She's one of three Americans known to contract Ebola during the outbreak that has ravaged West Africa. The others are colleague Dr. Kent Brantly and Patrick Sawyer, a naturalized citizen and Liberian government official who died from the disease earlier this week. The missionary is expected to be picked up in West Africa and flown back to the United States, where she is expected to join Brantly -- who arrived Saturday -- in a special isolation unit at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital. According to Todd Shearer, a spokesman for the Christian charity Samaritan's Purse, she should be in Georgia early next week. Ebola patient walks into Atlanta hospital . The trip will be the latest of many journeys for Writebol, whose other missionary ventures include Ecuador and 14 years ministering to orphans and vulnerable children in Africa. Since August 2013, the Writebols have been in Monrovia, Liberia, with the Serving in Mission group, which worked with Samaritan's Purse. Nancy guided missionaries and teams and worked with nurses at ELWA hospital, where her husband is the technical services manager, according to the Christian group's website. Nancy was diagnosed with Ebola on July 25. Those who know Nancy best say that she's motivated not by any quest for personal glory or thirst for adventure, but because she and her husband feel compelled to act because of their faith. As husband David explained from Africa via Skype to members of Calvary Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, at a recent vigil for Nancy: "We have been blessed because of what Christ has done for us, (by giving) us eternal life and salvation. "What else could we do (but help)?" The fact the Writebols left the comforts of America to live in an area rife with poverty, instability and disease, the fact they put their lives at risk to assist those suffering everyday, isn't surprising to those who know them. John Munro, their friend and pastor at Calvary Church, describes the couple as "the salt of the Earth," the kind of people who wouldn't give a second thought to dropping everything to help. The only thing perhaps ironic about what's happening now is how such an "unassuming" and "very humble" woman has become international news. "She is ... not someone who would ever make the headlines," Munro said, "apart from something like this." That doesn't change the fact the Writebols have extraordinary lives. Wherever they've gone, their lives have been centered on their church and their family, including two now-adult sons who live in the United States. One of those sons, Jeremy Writebol, told CNN's Chris Cuomo that the recent ordeal has been hard on his father. Nancy Writebol has been isolated in the couple's Liberia home; she and David talk by phone but, given fears she might pass on Ebola to him, they can't touch. "It's very difficult, and we feel the emotion of that," Jeremy Writebol said of his parents' physical separation. Then, of course, there's the inherent danger of Ebola.

A Nigerian people smuggler who used witchcraft rituals to force children to work as sex slaves was jailed for 20 years yesterday. Osezua Osolase, 42, tricked poverty-stricken Nigerian orphans into travelling to the UK with the promise of a better life. But the young victims were raped, sexually abused and subjected to voodoo-style rituals by a child trafficking ring. Osolase, the linchpin of a multi-million pound global sex trafficking ring, used 'juju' magic to control his victims. He told the teenage girls they would die or never bear children if they tried to escape or revealed what had happened to them. Judge Adele Williams told Osolase: 'You are arrogant and manipulative, you are devoid of conscience, devoid of any compassion to your victims. 'You were dealing in exploitation and misery and degradation. You have been convicted on clear and compelling evidence of trafficking two girls in and out of the UK. 'Once they arrived in the UK the reality was explained to them that they were going to have to work as prostitutes. 'They were petrified that if they spoke out they would be harmed and killed.' During the trial it emerged that Osolase raped one of the young girls knowing he had HIV. Judge Williams described this as a 'seriously aggravating' feature to his crimes. At Canterbury Crown Court on Friday, Osolase was convicted of five counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation, one of rape and one of sexual activity with a child.

By . Associated Press . PUBLISHED: . 18:07 EST, 18 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 18:07 EST, 18 August 2013 . The mother of Trayvon Martin spoke out Sunday against the stop-and-frisk police practice in New York City, saying neither police nor civilians have the right to stop someone because of their race.Critics say the stops target black and Hispanic people who aren't doing anything wrong. Earlier this week, a judge told New York City that its policy was racial discrimination. The city plans to appeal. 'You can't give people the authority, whether civilian or police officers, the right to just stop somebody because of the color of their skin,' Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton said on NBC's Meet the Press. Bereaved: Sybrina Fulton appeared on NBC's Meet the Press to speak out against the stop-and-frisk policy that she says is racial profiling . Victim: Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by self-appointed neighborhood watch rep George Zimmerman as he walked home last year in what supporters say was a case of racial profiling . Over the past decade, New York police have stopped, questioned and sometimes patted down about five million people; 87 per cent were black or Hispanic. About 10 per cent of the stops spur an arrest or summons. Police find weapons a fraction of the time. Race based: Here, plain clothes police detectives search suspects on the street in Harlem, New York City, as part of the police department's stop-and-frisk practice . Racial targeting: Fulton's lawyer Benjamin Crump (right) said that the stop-and-frisk policy targets people based on the color of their skin . Fulton's attorney, Benjamin Crump, said the stop-and-frisk policy targeted people by race and noted it was still being used as the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I have a dream' speech approached.'It actually takes us away from his poignant words of, "I dreamed my children would be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin,"' Crump said. Healing: Sybrina Fulton is trying to create positive action following her son's death by fighting against gun violence . Fulton has said neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman 'got away with murder' in the 2012 killing of her son, largely because of Florida's self-defense law.Protesters had been occupying part of the Capitol in Tallahassee, calling for an examination of the Florida law since Zimmerman was acquitted last month. Zimmerman claimed self-defense in shooting the 17-year-old Martin during a fight; Martin's supporters say Zimmerman profiled and followed him because Martin was black.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 21:12 EST, 17 October 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 22:14 EST, 17 October 2012 . The foreign student arrested over an attempt to blow-up the New York Federal Reserve on Wednesday cited an extremist publication as inspiration for his deadly plans. Quazi Nafis, 21, reportedly learned how to make a bomb from an . article published by al-Qaeda in the magazine . ‘Inspire.’ The magazine contained a piece titled, ‘How to Make a Bomb in the Kitchen with your Mom,’ telling . readers how to construct a detonating bomb with everyday household . items. Dangerous material: Quazi Nafis, who allegedly tried to blow up the Federal Reserve with a 1000lb bomb, had been reading jihadist publication Inspire . Sting operation: The FBI arrested a man who allegedly plotted to blow up the Federal Bank in New York, which is only blocks away from ground zero . Inspire is an English-language magazine produced by al-Qaeda supporters on the Arabian Peninsula. One issue specifies how to create a remote-controlled bomb with a list of ingredients and parts followed by a photographic manual. Another issue suggested that a good way to forward the jihadist mission would be to mow down pedestrians in a pick-up truck. Handgun training and tips on being an 'urban assassin' are also included in the easily accessible terrorist magazine online. An American, 26-year-old Samir Khan, from North Carolina, was the driving force behind the publication and penned the piece on making a bomb at your mom's kitchen table. In another article in 2010, he wrote about his pride at leaving the U.S. and joining al-Qaeda in Yemen. In the piece, Khan mocked the U.S. intelligence agencies and pledged his support to the terrorist group. He was killed in a 2011 drone strike in Yemen by the CIA along with al-Qaeda leader Anwar al-Awlaki, another contributor to the magazine. Despite their deaths, new issues of the magazine have appeared, promoting jihad through explanations on how to start forest fires and build remote-controlled bombs. Creative force: Anwar al-Awlaki (left) and Samir Khan (right) ran jihadist magazine Inspire until their deaths in 2011 . Plot: Pedestrians pass the Federal Reserve Building today; authorities arrested a Bangladeshi man they said was plotting to blow up the Federal Reserve . Home: A man stands outside the residence of Quazi Nafis, the alleged Federal Reserve plot suspect . An article written this year is titled 'It Is of Your Freedom to Ignite a Firebomb' - and gives detailed instructions on how to spark a forest-fire, with Montana singled out as the ideal location. QuaziNafis was arrested in an elaborate FBI sting on Wednesday after attempting to blow up a fake car bomb outside the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan, authorities said. Before trying to carry out the alleged plot, Nafis went to a warehouse to help assemble a 1,000-pound bomb using inert material. He also asked an undercover agent to videotape him saying: 'We will not stop until we attain victory or martyrdom.' Agents grabbed the 21-year-old Nafis - armed with a cellphone he believed was rigged as a detonator - after he made several attempts to blow up the bomb inside a vehicle parked next to the Federal Reserve. Authorities emphasized that the plot . never posed an actual risk. However, they claimed the case demonstrated . the value of using sting operations to neutralize young extremists eager . to harm Americans. Rights: A courtroom sketch shows Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, second right, being arraigned in Brooklyn today . 'Attempting to destroy a landmark building and kill or maim untold numbers of innocent bystanders is about as serious as the imagination can conjure,' said Mary Galligan, acting head of the FBI's New York office. 'The defendant faces appropriately severe consequences.' afis appeared in federal court in Brooklyn to face charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al-Qaeda. Wearing a brown T-shirt and black jeans, he was ordered held without bail and did not enter a plea. His defense attorney had no comment outside court. The defendant had sought assurances from an undercover agent posing as an al-Qaeda contact that the terrorist group would support the operation. 'The thing that I want to do, ask you about, is that, the thing I'm doing, it's under al-Qaeda?' he was recorded saying during a meeting in bugged hotel room in Queens, according to the complaint. In a September meeting in the same hotel room, Nafis 'confirmed he was ready to kill himself during the course of the attack, but indicated he wanted to return to Bangladesh to see his family one last time to set his affairs in order,' the complaint said. But there was no allegation that Nafis actually received training or direction from the terrorist group. Prosecutors say Nafis traveled to the U.S. on a student visa in January to carry out an attack. In July, he contacted a confidential informant, telling him he wanted to form a terror cell, the criminal complaint said. In further conversations, authorities said Nafis proposed several spots for his attack, including the New York Stock Exchange - and that in a written letter taking responsibility for the Federal Reserve job he was about to carry out, he said he wanted to 'destroy America'. Other communications took place through Facebook. A Twitter account with the suspect's name and photo had six followers and two messages and was linked to a Facebook page that had been taken down. Federal officials were at the home where Nafis was staying, a red brick building in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens. Owner Rafiqul Islam said Nafis was staying with his second-floor tenants, and he was told he was related to the family. The tenants didn't answer their door and their apartment was dark. Islam said the federal officials had come to the home when he was at work in Manhattan. He said Nafis had only lived there about a month or so. 'I didn't notice anything, he spoke to me very quietly,' Islam said. 'He said he was going to be studying here.' Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the case is one more reminder that New York remains a target: . 'New York continues to be very much in the mind frame of terrorism. This individual came here with the express purpose of committing a terrorist attack; he was motivated by al-Qaeda. We see this threat as being with us for a long time to come.' Kelly said security is always a precaution and there are about a thousand officers in the counterterrorism division. He didn't specify if any additional measures were being taken. The bank, located at 33 Liberty St., is one of 12 branches around the country that, along with the Board of Governors in Washington, make up the Federal Reserve System that serves as the central bank of the United States. It sets interest rates. The Federal Reserve is one of the most fortified buildings in the city, smack in the middle of a massive security effort headed by the New York Police Department where a network of thousands of private and police cameras watch for suspicious activity. The department uses sophisticated programs that can search for suspicious activity, like an object in one place for a long time, at the building modeled after London's 'ring of steel'. The analytic software also is designed to take video and catalog it according to movements, shapes and colors, so officers can set parameters to search the system for, say, a suspicious van. The Fed is also home to the world's largest accumulation of gold, according to the bank's website. Dozens of governments and central banks store a portion of their gold reserves in high-security vaults deep beneath the building. In recent years, it held 216 million troy ounces of gold, or more than a fifth of all global monetary gold reserves, making it a bigger bullion depository than Fort Knox.

A two-year-old has become the youngest member of British Mensa after taking an intelligence test that ranked him smarter than Barack Obama and David Cameron. While most toddlers are busy learning to walk and scribbling on walls, child prodigy Adam Kirby enjoys reading Shakespeare, learning Japanese, Spanish and French, and even potty-trained himself. Adam, from Mitcham, south London, took the Stanford-Binet IQ test and scored 141, 10 points higher that two of the most powerful world leaders and four points short of Genius level, despite not even being able to speak in full sentences yet. Scroll down for video . Youngest Mensa member: Adam Kirby, aged two, has an IQ of 141, just four points short of Genius level . Adam's parents Kerry-Ann, 31, left, and Dean, 33, say they're 'bright' but nothing like their young son . The toddler’s parents Dean, 33, and Kerry-Ann, 31, say they realised their son was different when he’d potty-trained himself after reading a book on the subject aged just one. Mensa was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top two per cent of the population. Albert Einstein apparently had an IQ of 160, while former US presidents Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin and Bill Clinton also racked up very high IQs - mustering 128, 160 and 137 respectively. Napoleon Bonaparte scored 145 and Sigmund Freud had a score of 156. There are currently more than 1,000 members of Mensa aged under 18. Children under the age of 10-and-a-half can join Mensa by submitting prior evidence of their IQ score being in the top two per cent. Adults and children over the age of 10-and-a-half, take the Mensa Supervised IQ Test. The youngest person to ever join British Mensa was Elise Tan Roberts in 2009 aged 2 years and four months. At 29 months, Adam is able to spell 100 words, has conquered most of his times tables up to 10, has learnt his periodic table, and even mastered a world map puzzle designed for adults. After he scored so highly in the IQ test he was invited to join British Mensa, the society for those with outstandingly high IQs, and became the youngest boy ever to do so. The youngest British person ever to join was a girl, Elise Tan-Roberts, now six, who joined Mensa aged two years and four months in 2009; Adam joined at two years and five months. His father, Mr Kirby, an IT consultant from Mitcham, London, said: 'Adam’s abilities are outstanding and we’ve been actively developing his intelligence since he was 10 weeks old - but we’re certainly delighted for him. 'While most children are just learning to stand up or crawl Adam was reading books, his development was just mind-blowingly quick. 'We used to show him cards with the . words hippopotamus and rhinoceros on them and he could identify the . right animals most of the time.' The Stanford-Binet exam, originally . developed by French psychologist Alfred Binet and revised by Stanford . University’s Lewis Terman in 1916, has become renowned for being able to . accurately determine a child’s intelligence levels and predict future . grades. Adam’s score of 141 - just four shy of the ‘Genius’ category - puts him head and shoulders above the average Brit’s IQ of 100. His remarkable level means he becomes only the 19th UK child ever to join Mensa before even going to school. Adam has already mastered most of his times tables and is reading books designed for seven-year-olds . The gifted toddler can identify countries on a map and knows the planets of the solar system . Little Adam started to read when he was just one, and can type words and numbers on a keyboard . Mr Kirby said: 'Neither my wife nor I . are Mensa members. We are both bright, but Adam is significantly more . advanced at his age than we were. 'I think the main reason for his rapid development is that we have found effective ways to make learning enjoyable. 'Adam is able to progress at his own pace whenever he chooses to and in areas of his choosing. Despite his astonishing intelligence, Adam's parents say he is a happy, athletic and playful little boy . Adam's IQ score of 141 puts him above US President Barack Obama and British PM David Cameron, right . 'He knows the planets of the solar system, dozens of pairs of words with opposite meanings - he has a great sense of humour and most importantly he is self-motivated, athletic, very happy and playful.' Adam, who is reading the Oxford . Reading Tree series designed for seven-year-olds, is already in the top . 1.3 per cent of the population. And his parents expect him to score even higher once his communication skills develop fully. Bright family: Mr and Mrs Kirby have high hopes for their younger son Ethan, who is not yet two months old . Adam started reading aged just one, right, and is now reading Oxford Reading Tree books for seven-year-old . John Stevenage, British Mensa’s CEO, said: 'The members of Mensa always welcome new additions as we aim to stimulate people in an intellectual and social environment. 'We are look to help gifted children and encourage them to develop at an extraordinary. 'We look forward to Adam joining Mensa and expect him to have a very bright future.' Adam’s younger brother Ethan is not yet two months old, but his parents are expecting great things. Mr Kirby said: 'I expect that he will develop at a faster pace than Adam as my wife and I are now more experienced, and he has his older brother Adam to learn from. 'In addition, I’ve read that second children tend to be in a hurry to catch up with their older siblings, so I think this will keep him on an upwards curve.' - Adam has a reading age of at least a five-year-old and reads books aimed at seven-year-olds . - He is able to spell over 100 words and also knows many phonics . - Knows some of his times tables (2,3,4,5,10) - Recognises 2D shapes from a circle to 12-sided dodecagon . - Knows numerous 3D shapes . - Can count to more than 1000 in English, up to 20 in Spanish & Japanese and up to 10 in French . - Can add and subtract simple numbers . Adam can type words and numbers into a computer already, and has been able to for a while . - Knows the difference between primary, secondary and neutral colours and can name them . - Recognises words when spelt them to him e.g. if his parents spell ‘ninety seven’ he responds 97 . - Can write some letters and numbers by hand and type words and numbers on a keyboard . - He can recite his favourite nursery rhymes . - Adam can read simple fractions . - Knows months of the year and days of the week, and the planets of the solar system . - Knows dozens of pairs of words with opposite meanings . - Knows some elements in the periodic table .

A software tycoon has accused his wife of being a ‘psychopath’ while she has called him ‘cruel, spiteful and wicked’ in an extraordinarily bitter £5million divorce battle. Anthony Colborne, 53, claims their three teenage children have not asked to see their mother, Lynda, 60, since the split and argues that he should keep their £1.6million six-bedroom home. But the entrepreneur is accused of conducting his financial affairs ‘with arrogant contempt’ for his estranged wife and the court, as well as hiding his assets. Dispute: Anthony Colborne (left) claims their three teenage children have not asked to see their mother, Lynda (right), 60, after the split . Mrs Colborne’s barrister Nicholas Starks has alleged that Mr Colborne sold off foreign investments without consulting her and hid assets worth £800,000 out of a £5million-plus pot. ‘In short, the husband is a law unto himself … [and] does not consider the wife to have made any contribution to the marriage worthy of recognition,’ said Mr Starks. The case has reached the Court of Appeal after a judge ruled earlier this year that the wife should keep their house in leafy Wargrave in Berkshire, as well as £16,000 and all of her husband’s pension. Appealing, Mr Colborne claims this is not fair as he is bringing up their three children, including 16-year-old twin girls, since they separated. ‘The children expressed great relief at not having [Mrs Colborne] in the family home with all the turmoil [she] brought,’ he said in a court statement. ‘The children have subsequently taken very little interest in their mother and have never asked to visit their mother.’ And his barrister, Simon Calhaem, said: ‘It was not appropriate for the judge simply to ignore the fact that the children live with their father and do not see their mother. ‘To do so was to fail to address properly or at all how they will be housed or clothed and fed, and have their school fees met.’ Mr Colborne says he should keep the £1.6million six-bedroom family home on this road in Wargrave, Berkshire . Hearing: The case reached the Court of Appeal (pictured) in London after a judge earlier this year ruled that the wife should get their house in Wargrave, £16,000 and all her husband’s pension . The court heard the couple married in 1995, separated in 2011 and divorced earlier this year. In 2007, Mr Colborne sold his £5million share in the flourishing software company he set up a decade earlier and says he has not worked since. He claims that he has a loss-making coffee shop in Wargrave, and investments in Morocco which have not yet paid off. But Mrs Colborne has accused him of hiding assets, including proceeds of the sale of two flats in north Africa. She said that while she was stuck in rented accommodation and living off the generosity of friends, he could still enjoy their previous lifestyle. Mr Starks said Mr Colborne had engaged in ‘spiteful and wicked’ denigration of his ex-wife. That included his repeated ‘psychopath’ remarks in a court statement. Mr Colborne failed to provide requested information about money and would ‘stop at nothing’ to get what he wants, the barrister added. As the case stands, with Mr Colborne keeping the Moroccan assets, his share would be worth about £3million, Mr Starks claimed. He said it would be ‘manifestly unfair’ to Mrs Colborne, and not in the children’s interests, if she were left as the ‘poor relation’. Mr Colborne denies hiding any of the couple’s assets, claiming that the money was used for school fees, mortgage payments, overdrafts and other joint responsibilities. He says his ex-wife was handed all of their UK and liquid wealth, while he was left with ‘illiquid and speculative’ assets in the form of incomplete Moroccan property developments. He disputes the value of the assets he retains. The Court of Appeal will rule on the case at a later date.
Anthony Colborne, 53, claims three children have not asked to see mother . Says he should keep £1.6m six-bedroom house in Wargrave, Berkshire . Ex-wife accuses him of 'arrogant contempt' for her and hiding his assets .

A former Defense Department spokesman is calling out the Obama administration for giving terrorists better medical treatment than its giving the nation's veterans. In an opinion piece on FoxNews.com today, Defense Department alumni J.D. Gordon claims, 'Al Qaeda terrorists at Guantanamo treated better than our vets.' 'Yes, it’s true. I know because I served as a Pentagon spokesman from . 2005-2009 and visited Guantanamo Bay Naval Base over 30 times during . those years,' he writes. Former Pentagon Spokesman J.D. Gordon, left, says the suspected terrorists being held at U.S. military facilities in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are provided with better medical care than America's veterans. Gordon is pictured here at the U .S. Naval Base at Gitmo on July 15, 2009 . In this photo, then-Pentagon Spokesman J.D. Gordon, right, walks with courtroom sketch artist Janet Hamlin, left, CNN's Carol Cratty, center, and U.S. military personnel on the way to the courthouse for a U.S. Military Commissions hearing at Camp Justice, the site of the U.S. war crimes tribunal compound, at Guantanamo Bay U.S. Naval Base, Cuba on July 15, 2009 . Gordon is a retired Navy commander who served as a  Defense Department spokesman under both presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. After departing the Pentagon, he entered the realm of politics. In 2012 he served as an adviser to pizza magnate Herman Cain's bid for the Republican presidential nomination. He is now a national security and foreign policy commentator and a Senior Fellow and Communications Adviser to several right-leaning organizations in Washington, D.C. He is also the Executive Director of a national security-based conservative political action committee called Protect America Today that he helped found in 2012. In his op-ed on Fox's website, Gordon calls on the nation's Commander-in-Chief to 'refocus his priorities' on America's veterans and spend 'less time, effort and energy caring for Al Qaeda and Taliban detainees . at Gitmo and much more attention put on caring for America's veterans.' His op-ed points to a Joint Task Force Guantanamo fact sheet on Detainee Medical Care as evidence that the approximately 150 terrorists at Gitmo are taken care of by 100 health care providers. 'Doctors and medical personnel are at their beck and call,' Gordon writes. 'Got a . cold, a fever, a toothache, a tumor, chest or back pain, mental health . issues, PTSD? No problem, come right in. Military doctors are waiting to see you.' The Joint Task Force Guantanamo fact sheet claims the 'medical care provided to detainees at Guantanamo is consistent with what U.S. service members receive.' 'JMG providers administer care to all detainees regardless of disciplinary status, level of cooperation or legal status,' it says. 'Detainees are treated at dedicated medical facilities with state-of-the-art equipment and an expert medical staff.' The one-pager also notes that health services are available to suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay 'around the clock, seven days a week. Meanwhile, only one doctor is provided for every 35 veterans enrolled in the Veterans Affairs health care program and the VA's 267,930 employees, Gordon writes. 'If any government entity ever needed a complete overhaul, it’s the . VA,' he says. 'If it were in the private sector, it would have been shuttered long . ago.' Gordon argues that both presidents Bush and Obama allowed the VA to spiral out of control, citing VA officials' big salaries, big bonuses and big budgets for decorating, but zeros in on the current office holder for sitting on his hands for the last five and half years. 'Instead of fixing the problem' with veterans' care, the Obama's administration's ' focus was closing Guantanamo . and improving the comfort of detainees. Even though they already lived . under some of the best prison conditions ever seen.' Gordon, who is a veteran himself, says the government ought to be giving its countrymen and women who fought in uniform the same level of medical care than its giving to assumed terrorists. 'Our veterans have served the nation proudly. In many cases they were . gravely wounded during their service and now will require a lifetime of . medical support. Every one of them deserves better.'

There are renewed calls for a federal ICAC as Australia slips out of the world's top 10 nations known for their squeaky clean public sectors. Transparency International says Australia has fallen for the third straight year in its global Corruption Perceptions Index, dropping from an impressive ranking of seven in 2012 to 11 in 2014. Australia slipped out of the top 10 for just the second time in the index's 20-year history. Transparency International Australia director Professor A.J. Brown said the drop was 'of great concern' The annual index measures expert and business opinion of public sector corruption across 175 countries. 'This is a real and significant drop which is of great concern,' Transparency International Australia director Professor A.J. Brown told reporters in Sydney. He said the results indicated a concern about the effectiveness of corruption fighting bodies like the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption that recently exposed alleged rorting of donations laws by Liberal MPs. 'There are questions as to whether the ICAC has the right prosecution follow-up powers,' he said. 'Our assessment is that it's not simply a question of more scandals ... the slide shows growing concern about the adequacy of responses to corruption risks, especially at the federal level.' Prof Brown said Australia's position would get worse if no action was taken on introducing a federal anti-corruption body. Major scandals this year included the prosecutions of Reserve Bank note-printing subsidiaries, allegations of widespread union corruption and the ICAC's probe into alleged systemic rorting of political donation laws by Liberal NSW MPs. The ICAC said in November former state Labor ministers Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald would be prosecuted over adverse corruption findings. Denmark and New Zealand were ranked as the top two cleanest countries in the world, while North Korea and Somalia were perceived to be most corrupt. The release of the list comes after ICAC said in November former state Labor ministers Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald would be prosecuted over adverse corruption findings .
The list of 175 countries is compiled by Transparency International . It measures expert and business opinion of public sector corruption . Australia has dropped from seventh place in 2012 to 11th in 2014 . North Korea and Somalia were perceived as the most corrupt countries .

By . Adam Crafton . Follow @@AdamCrafton_ . On Tuesday night in the isolated Croatian town of Novigrad, Manchester City's patience finally snapped. For the fifth time in just over two years, one of their players has allegedly become the victim of racial abuse. Previous incidents include the subjection of Mario Balotelli and Yaya Toure to monkey noises in European competition, a banana being launched at Gael Clichy in a friendly at Limerick and Devante Cole, a young talent, receiving relentless abuse in a youth tournament in Madrid. This time, it was an academy pre-season friendly game and a 19-year-old boy was the target. Yes, really. VIDEO Scroll down for Manuel Pellegrini's reaction to Seko Fofana's alleged racial abuse . Flashpoint: Seko Fofana (No 8) kicked out at a NHK Rijeka player after being allegedly racially abused . Seeing red: Fofana was sent off for kicking out at his opponent as the players come together . Taking a stand: Patrick Vieira (third left) walked on to the pitch after hearing what may have happened . Stopped: The match is abandoned as Vieira leads his team off the pitch in Croatia after the incident . Making his point: Vieira was integral to Manchester City's players development and was in pre-season . Seko Fofana vs HNK Rijeka in 2014 . Devante Cole vs Atletico Madrid in 2014 . Yaya Toure vs CSKA Moscow in 2013 . Gael Clichy vs Limerick FC in 2012 . Mario Balotelli vs Porto in 2012 . City believe that Seko Fofana, a young Frenchman, was racially abused by an opponent during a pre-season warm-up match against HNK Rijeka on Tuesday evening. For his troubles, the teenager was sent off, having kicked out after receiving a verbal volley of abuse from his Croatian opponent moments before half-time. As of Wednesday morning, City were still to ascertain how much the referee had seen or heard of the incident. Elite Development Squad manager Patrick Vieira, once alerted to Fofana's complaint, immediately entered the pitch and after holding discussions with the referee and the City officials present, the former Arsenal captain ordered his players to leave the field and asserted that the game would not continue. It is the most high-profile statement that an English football club has made against racism in recent times and while City were keen to stress that this was a club decision, rather than Vieira's alone, they will know that this decision will reverberate around Europe. Vieira, a mild-mannered and deeply intelligent man who is aware of his status as one of football's leading statesmen, will not have taken this decision lightly. Sadly, the incident appears to have been brushed aside by the Croatian club. Move along, nothing to see here appears to be the depressing message. Youngster: Fofana in action during an Under-21 match against Chelsea last season at the Etihad . On their . club website, Rijeka suggested that City, trailing 1-0 at the time of . the incident, simply could not handle the embarrassment of falling . behind against a relatively unknown side. The . bizarre defence continued with the assertion that the red card was . 'entirely justified' and on Vieira's actions, Rijeka said: 'To the . amazement of a well-filled stadium he took his team off the pitch. What . are the reasons? They are known only to him.' There is no mention of the alleged incident of racism and no suggestion that the Croatian side will launch an internal investigation. Sportsmail understands that City are in talks with the match organisers and the Croatian FA to take matters further. Back at the hotel in Croatia on Tuesday night, City officials were understood to be incensed by the development and hugely frustrated by this latest case of racism. The EDS side and under-18 side have enjoyed two very happy years at their Croatian training camp and only last Friday, the academy head Mark Allen was telling local journalists and the complex manager that he would consider a return to the base for a third summer next year. He may now be tempted to place a black marker through Croatia's name when deciding future destinations. As for Fofana, the talented midfielder was understood to be deeply distressed on Tuesday night. If, as City unequivocally maintain, he was racially abused, you can understand why a young teenager may respond angrily, even if it is not the ideal reaction to lash out. Hurt: Devante Cole, son of former England striker Andrew, was allegedly racially abused by players and fans . Match winner: Cole scored the winning goal as City advanced into the last eight of the UEFA competition . Claim: Gael Clichy tweeted saying bananas were thrown on to the pitch in a friendly for Man City . Anger: Clichy took to Twitter to vent his frustration at the alleged throwing of bananas on to the pitch . On their . club website, Rijeka suggested that City, trailing 1-0 at the time of . the incident, simply could not handle the embarrassment of falling . behind against a relatively unknown side. The defence continued with the assertion that the red card was . 'entirely justified' and on Vieira's actions, Rijeka said: 'To the . amazement of a well-filled stadium he took his team off the pitch. What . are the reasons? They are known only to him.' Certainly, . it is out of character for a charming individual who makes for good . company. Vieira rates him among the club's most promising talents. He . will comfort the young man and take him under his wing as the group fly . back to Manchester on Wednesday afternoon but there is no disguising the . anger that has engulfed the players and staff at Manchester City. Just . a few months ago, Devante Cole, the son of Andrew, was the victim of . perhaps the most revolting torrent of racial abuse encountered by an . English footballer in recent times. During a UEFA Youth League match at . Atletico Madrid, monkey chants came streaming down from the stands and . he also received abuse from opposing players. Even a tannoy announcement pleading for a ceasefire could not deter the stream of bile being directed his way. As he exited the field at full-time, shielded by academy head Mark Allen, Cole was then spat at. He was 18-years-old at the time. 'You cannot believe what it was like. Just disgusting. He was really upset by it. He was 18 - how can it be allowed?' a City source told Sportsmail. UEFA saw it worthy only of a fine of £8,270 for Atletico and a partial stadium ban for a future youth game. In October last year, monkey chants were directed towards Yaya Toure in last season's Champions League clash in Russia and the same kind of alleged derogatory noises aimed at Mario Balotelli during a Europa League match against Porto in 2012. Making his feelings clear: Yaya Toure tells referee Ovidiu Hategan about the abuse from CSKA Moscow fans . What's going on? Toure gestures towards the fans after the midfielder felt he was being racially abused . Time to act: Toure called on UEFA to take action against fans who racially abuse players . Target: Toure was the victim of monkey chants from sections of the Moscow crowd during the game . Porto were fined only £16,700 for the behaviour of their supporters - less than the £24,000 City were fined for returning to the field a minute late after half time, while CSKA were punished with only a partial closure of their stadium. This will not be a case for UEFA but the meek punishments set a poor precedent. Who can forget Michel Platini's response to the suggestion that Mario Balotelli should walk off the pitch if he were to receive racial abuse at Euro 2012: ‘If a player left the field on his own, he would get a yellow card. It’s not Mr Balotelli who’s in charge of refereeing,' was the UEFA President's pithy reply. You get the drift. Nobody here is expecting the Croatian governing body to come down like a ton of bricks on one of their own. Yet when the authorities continue to turn a blind eye, when UEFA's punishments remain tame and when FIFA award World Cups to countries such as Russia, where prejudice remains rife, racism will remain unchallenged on the continent. Angry: Mario Balotelli punches the ground during an Italy game where he was allegedly racially abused as well .

President Francois Hollande has announced the deployment of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to the Middle East to join in attacks against ISIS forces in Iraq. The nuclear-powered vessel will travel to the Gulf with its battle group where it will be in position to attack ISIS targets in Iraq with its complement of 20 combat aircraft. Speaking today on the vessel, which is the flagship of the French navy, President Hollande said the current situation 'justifies the presence of our aircraft carrier'.

President Hollande said the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, pictured, would join strikes against ISIS in Iraq . President Hollande, pictured, announced that he was reviewing cuts to France's military spending . The deployment will take place as part of the multi-national operation 'Inherent Resolve'. President Hollande told personnel on board the aircraft carrier: 'Thanks to the Charles de Gaulle we will have precious intelligence.' France was the first country to join the United States in attacking ISIS although it has ruled out launching strikes in Syrian territory. It has about 800 military personnel, nine fighter jets, a maritime patrol aircraft and a refueling plane at its base in the United Arab Emirates as part of its 'Chammal' Iraq mission, as well as an anti-aircraft warship in the Gulf. It also operates six Mirage fighter jets from Jordan. France also has more than 3,000 troops carrying out counter-insurgency operations against al Qaeda-linked militants in the Sahel-Sahara region. It has urged African nations to step up cross-border cooperation to tackle security challenges from Islamist groups in southern Libya to Boko Haram attacks in Nigeria as it seeks to scale back its military commitments on the continent.

Hollande reaffirmed that France would reduce the number of troops deployed in the Central African Republic, where it has handed control of peacekeeping operations to United Nations missions. France had deployed 2,000 troops to curb Christian-Muslim violence in the country. This will fall to 800 by the autumn. A week after Islamist militants carried out a series of attacks in Paris, killing 17 people, Hollande said 10,500 military personnel would be deployed across France as of Wednesday evening to bolster domestic security. The president added that the government needed to review the rate of cuts to French military personnel planned over the next three years to take account of security needs. As soon as President Hollande departed, the aircraft carrier set course for the Suez canal for its deployment .

A man infected with a Sars-like illness has become the first person in Britain to die from the virus. The 39-year-old, who died in the intensive care unit at Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital, caught the illness from his father, who had become infected while travelling in Pakistan and the Middle East. So far there have only been four confirmed cases of the illness in Britain and 12 anywhere in the world, with six deaths. Scroll down for video . Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) The illness, known as novel . coronavirus, causes a cough, breathing difficulties and fever which can . lead to pneumonia and kidney failure. It is from the same virus family as Sars, which claimed 900 lives worldwide in 2002 and 2003. But scientists say novel coronavirus is nowhere near as dangerous as it has difficulty spreading between humans. The man who died on Sunday was suffering from a long-term condition which made him more susceptible. His father is still being treated at a hospital in Manchester. And another member of the same family who also caught the virus is being treated at the hospital in Birmingham. Separately, a 49-year-old man infected in Qatar in September is also in hospital. Scientists think the illness may be spread via bat droppings or through water droplets from coughs and sneezes. Three people have died in Saudi Arabia and two in Jordan. A hospital statement released today said: 'The patient was already an outpatient at . Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB), undergoing treatment for a long-term, complex unrelated health . condition. 'The patient was immuno-compromised and is believed to have . contracted the virus from a relative who is being treated for the . condition in a Manchester hospital. 'QEHB is working closely with the Health Protection Agency which is . currently following up other household members and contacts of this . case. Professor John Watson, head of the . respiratory diseases department at the HPA, said: ‘This case is a family . member who was in close personal contact with the earlier case and who . may have been at greater risk of acquiring an infection because of their . underlying health condition. 'To date, evidence of person-to-person transmission has been limited. Although this case provides strong evidence for person to person . transmission, the risk of infection in most circumstances is still . considered to be very low.' Infected patients have presented with serious respiratory illness with fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. The lining of the lung, or epithelium, represents an important first barrier against respiratory viruses . A statement issued this afternoon by . the HPA said the man who died and another of the UK cases had no recent . history of foreign travel, suggesting that transmission had occurred in . Britain. A HPA spokesman said: 'One person has . sadly died. This patient had an underlying condition that may have made . them more susceptible to respiratory infections. 'The first patient in this cluster, who had recent travel history to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, is still receiving treatment. 'The third case, who had a mild illness, has recovered.' Today, experts suggested the virus could potentially be treated by targeting the immune system. The coronavirus (NCov) belongs to the same family as the coronavirus SARS, which surfaced in China more than a decade ago and infected 8,000 people worldwide, killing around one in 10 of them. It's thought the virus can penetrate the lining of the passageways in the lung and evade the immune system as easily as a cold virus can. The research also reveals that the virus is susceptible to treatment with interferons, components of the immune system that have been used successfully to treat other viral diseases, opening a possible mode of treatment in the event of a large-scale outbreak. Now scientists at the Institute of Immunobiology at Kantonal Hospital in Switzerland, have tested how well the virus could infect . and multiply in the entryways to the human lung using cultured cells manipulated to mimic the airway lining. The lining of the lung, or epithelium, represents an important first barrier against respiratory viruses. But, said co-author Dr Volker Thiel, this part of the body does not put up a big fight against NCoV. He and his colleagues found that human airway epithelial cells are highly susceptible to NCoV infection and that the virus is able to multiply at a faster initial rate than the SARS virus. He said: 'Surprisingly, this coronavirus grows very efficiently on human epithelial cells.' The researchers asked themselves whether boosting this weak immune response might diminish the virus' ability to infect airway epithelial cells. They found that pre-treating the cells with proteins that are released in response to infection, significantly reduced the number of infected cells. But he added:'We don't know whether the cases we observe are the tip of the iceberg, or whether many more people are infected without showing severe symptoms.' The findings were published in the online journal mBio.
The patient, who was being treated at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, died on Sunday . Was a relative of patient being treated in Manchester after bringing back coronavirus from Middle East . Hospital says patient was already receiving treatment for long-term, complex health condition .

Another British person has been killed in Syria, according to reports currently being investigated by the Foreign Office. The death of the British national comes just days after two other Britons - Abu Abdullah al Habashi, 21, and Abu Dharda, 20, both from London – died while fighting in the Syrian border town of Kobane. A Foreign Office spokesman today confirmed reports of the death were being investigated and said: 'We are aware of reports of the death of a British national in Syria. Scroll down for video . The Foreign Office is investigating reports of the death of a British national in the Syrian city of Kobane . The death of the British national comes after Abu Abdullah al Habashi, 21, (left) and Abu Dharda, 20, (right) -both from London - were reportedly killed last week while fighting in the Syrian border town of Kobane . 'The UK has advised for some time against all travel to Syria, where all UK consular services are suspended. 'As we do not have any representation in Syria, it is extremely difficult to get any confirmation of deaths or injuries and our options for supporting British nationals there are extremely limited.' It is thought that at least 500 Britons have now joined the conflict in Syria and around 27 are understood to have lost their lives after joining ISIS. The terror threat level in the UK has been raised from substantial to severe in recent months as concerns mount that aspiring British jihadis are travelling to Iraq and Syria to learn terrorist 'tradecraft'. Al Habashi and Dharda were reported to have been killed towards the end of last week while fighting alongside militants in the Syrian city of Kobane. Al-Habashi, from north London, was of Eritrean origin and converted from Christianity to Islam during his teenage years. He is understood to have travelled from the UK to join the Islamic State in Syria in December 2013. Dharda, from west London, came from a British-Somali background and travelled to Syria via Turkey in the same month as al-Habashi. Neither death has been independently verified and their families could not be contacted. Police said they could not comment. Dead: Abu Abdullah al-Habashi (pictured right, next to a militant named Abu Musa as-Somali ) was killed fighting in Kobane. The 20-year-old former Christian of Eritrean origin converted to Islam as a teenager . Militant: Al-Habashi was a well known and popular figure in Islamic State due to his media appearances . Kurdish fighters have been defending Kobane from an ISIS onslaught with the assistance of American air strikes. Al Habashi is believed to have made comments supporting ISIS on social media prior to his death and appeared in at least two propaganda videos put out by the extremist group. In August, he told the BBC that he was at the 'forefront' of fighting and claimed he was one of a few British jihadis who had fought with ISIS – also known as Islamic State - in both Syria and Iraq. His family tried to convince him to return home but he said he was happy in the Middle East and there was 'no going back'. He confidently said in the Newsnight interview: 'They say what all parents would say, "come back you're crazy etc." But I'm here for the sake of Allah.' He described his experience as 'the best fighting and the hardest fighting' and that 'US-made weapons was the war booty.' Last month, the British fighter appeared alongside a German and a French ISIS fighter in the IS video, 'Wait. We are also waiting.' Threat: In his video appearance last month, al-Habashi gesticulated wildly as he said: 'We will chop off the heads of the Americans, chop off the heads of the French, chop off the heads of whoever you may bring' In the video, Abu Abdullah described the West as being full of 'puppets and apostates'. He declared: 'We are waiting for you in Dabiq. We are waiting for you in Iraq so bring your coalition of unbelievers because unbelievers will not help you. We will take their weaponry as booty and these people will die.' The British jihadist also vowed that all Islamic State fighters 'are willing to lay down our blood on this soil. So try. Try to come and we will kill every single soldier.' 'We will chop off the heads of the Americans. We will chop off the heads of the French, chop of the heads of whoever you may bring.' He even promised that the black flag of the Islamic State would 'eventually be on the White House.'

Worthington allegedly asked police if they were familiar with 'that movie Avatar?' after his arrest . Aussie actor slapped with a desk ticket and released . By . Jade Watkins . PUBLISHED: . 17:13 EST, 24 February 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 22:57 EST, 24 February 2014 . The photographer accused of kicking Lara Bingle during a scuffle outside a New York bar on Sunday claims that the model attacked him first. Paparazzo Sheng Li's defence lawyer Ron Kuby says the 26-year-old lashed out at his client when he tried to take her picture, according to news.com.au. Speaking in Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday during Li's arraignment, Kuby said that Worthington then approached his client and punched him in the face four times. 'She attacked me': The photographer accused of 'kicking' Lara Bingle says model sparked scuffle and reveals that her partner Sam Worthington punched him in the face four times . 'Ms. Bingle was the one that attacked him,' Kuby said. 'She claims that Mr. Li was following her for four hours and then runs up and kicks her in the shins. In what world does that make any sense?' 'He was on the job taking pictures and Ms. Bingle got upset and ran half way up the block and attacked him. 'Her large famous boyfriend ran up and punched him four times in the face and Worthington doesn’t even get charged.' Relocation: Sam and Lara are currently staying in New York for what is thought to be a long period of time . Meanwhile, court papers state that Li allegedly tried to purposely trip the model up in an effort to get her picture. 'The defendant followed her on a public street for approximately four hours, kept getting in her way as she was walking down the street and was trying to trip her, which caused her to fear for her safety,' they state. The incident, which saw both Worthington and Li arrested, occurred outside the Cubbyhole bar in the West Village. Serious: The couple have been dating since last year but there have been rumours that they married in secret earlier this year . Speaking out: Lara posted this quote from Amy Poehler on her Instagram page on Tuesday . During the scuffle, Sam was said to have referred to Bingle as his 'wife', yelling at the photographer, 'you kicked my wife.' However, a friend of Lara's told the MailOnline on Monday: ‘He would have been speaking figuratively. They are definitely not married, as far as I know.’ Several reports earlier this year suggested that the couple had secretly married in Western Australia ahead of a romantic trip to the Maldives. Protective: The photographer claims that Worthington punched him four times in the face . They have since been seen wearing matching rings on their wedding fingers. Before Worthington was taken away in a police car following his arrest on Sunday it is said that the actor asked officers if they knew 'that movie Avatar?' New York Police Department Lieutenant John Grimpel confirmed Worthington's arrest on Sunday, New York time. He told the Daily Telegraph: 'It happened at 5.30pm this evening. 'The photographer kicked Lara and then Worthington punched him causing the photographer to have lacerations to his nose. So in love: Sam and Lara have been virtually inseparable since they began dating last year . 'He has been charged with assault. He punched the photographer.' Worthington was later issued a desk ticket and released, while Li was charged with assault, reckless endangerment and harassment. MailOnline have contacted both Bingle's and Worthington's spokespeople for a comment. This is Worthington’s second run-in with a photographer - he was arrested and pepper sprayed in Atlanta in 2012, following an argument outside of a restaurant. Several people who witnessed the attack on Sunday (New York time) took to Twitter to describe the scene. 'Pretty sure I just saw Sam Worthington getting arrested in Greenwich Village. Definitely in a cop car. Ok. #nyc #samworthington @OmiScott,' wrote @MiriamEliseMP. Sharing the love: Lara posted this snap of the pair together on Valentine's Day . 'Just saw Sam worthington and Sara (sic) bingle get in physical fight with paparazzi outside cubby hole... Cops just got here,' tweeted @harrisonjobe. Meanwhile, @eemmmmaa wrote: 'Just saw Sam Worthington get arrested. Hashtag New York moment.' The Cubbyhole, is a popular gay bar located in the West Village of Manhattan. Worthington and his Australian model girlfriend have been in New York since the beginning of Fashion Week where they attended a number of shows together. They were photographed strolling hand-in-hand through the city on Friday looking very much in love with the pretty blonde smiling widely as she paused to gaze into her Avatar beau’s eyes. Lara last week told social media followers that she hopes to relocate to the Big Apple permanently saying she was in NYC and 'here to stay!' Don't you know who I am? Following his arrest, Sam was said to have asked police officers if they knew 'that movie Avatar?' A spokesperson later confirmed to MailOnline that she is looking to spend more time there. Last month the Cotton On Body designer told Woman's Day magazine that she wasn't happy living in Australia because she and Worthington 'don't get any peace'. 'Sydney's my home but I don't like it,' she said. 'I can't even go to the supermarket without getting papped (snapped by paparazzi). I don't like the attention.'

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 13:54 EST, 8 June 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 16:19 EST, 8 June 2013 . The first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season smashed rainfall totals across the Northeast and pushed some streams and creeks over their banks but sped up the Eastern Seaboard without causing major damage. A weakened Andrea shifted away from New England on Saturday morning with winds gusting up to 45 mph. The storm was expected to reach Canadian waters by Sunday. After bringing rain, strong winds and tornadoes to Florida, Andrea lost most of its tropical characteristics late Friday into Saturday. But it brought record rainfall for the date of June 7 for many cities and towns in the Northeast. Gotham City: People walk down Sixth Avenue as heavy rain falls in New York June 7, 2013. The rain is attributed to Tropical Storm Andrea . Rainy days: A commuter walks in the rain in Times Square in New York as rain drenched much of the U.S. Atlantic Coast . Misty: The first tropical storm of 2013 Andrea brings heavy rain to New York City . Andrea dumped 6.64 inches of rain on Gales Ferry, Conn. The 4.16 inches that fell on New York City's Central Park was more than double the previous record for the date, set in 1918. The 3.5 inches of rain that fell at Philadelphia International Airport doubled the 1.79 inches that fell in 1904. Newark, N.J., saw 3.71 inches, breaking the previous mark of 1.11 inches set in 1931. Elsewhere, cars were submerged in floodwaters on Long Island, and about 50 residents were displaced by a rising stream in Chester, Pa. The storm was blamed for one traffic-related death in Virginia. Late Friday, the National Hurricane Center in Miami discontinued all tropical storm warnings but cautioned about possible coastal and localized flooding from New Jersey to New England. Target: Map of the eastern U.S. showing the potential track for tropical storm Andrea . Beached: A Hilton Head Island Shore Beach Service lifeguard uses a trash bag as a makeshift raincoat at Hilton Head's Coligny Beach in North Carolina . Ominous: Beachgoers play in waves at Folly Beach in Charleston, South Carolina. Tropical Storm Andrea left the Carolinas waterlogged but spared the area any serious damage . Officials in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast had prepared for it Friday night. New York City activated its flash flooding plan, and heavy rainfall resulted in flash floods, causing some sections of roadways to be closed throughout Long Island. A number of roads were flooded in the Boston area. A flight that left Boston on Friday night headed to Palm Beach, Fla., was diverted to Newark Liberty International Airport after being struck by lightning. No one was injured. The weather service reported that small streams and creeks in southeastern Pennsylvania were going over their banks Friday night. New York City's airports experienced flight delays, and Connecticut reported numerous lane closures on highway as cars spun out amid heavy rain. Wet and wild: Jason Childress and his son Jackson Childress, 4, have different reactions to the heavy rain as they battle rain from tropical storm Andrea before shopping in Cary, North Carolina . Just a puddle: A Raleigh police officer puts out flares on the road in Raleigh, North Carolina. Firefighters and rescue crews had to rescue two people from the vehicle in the background . No weather for umbrellas: People clutch their broken umbrella as heavy rain falls in New York City . The rainy weather washed out events such as NASCAR's Sprint Cup qualifying in Pennsylvania's Poconos and MLB games in Washington, New York and Boston. The heavy rain from the storm's outer bands was being blamed by authorities in Virginia for a fatal accident on Interstate 77 in the state's western mountains. William Petty, 57, of Lexington, S.C., died after a car in which he was a passenger hydroplaned while passing a tractor-trailer. He survived the crash, only to be killed moments later when the car was struck by a second tractor-trailer, authorities said. View from above: A weather satellite shows Tropical Storm Andrea. After dumping heavy rains on Florida, high winds and rough seas were felt along much of the East Coast .

Glasgow's emphatic support for Scotland's unsuccessful independence movement may have had a detrimental impact on tourism there, at least in the short term. As interest from potential visitors significantly rose in the country's other major cities following the surprisingly comfortable referendum margin in favour of pro-union voters, the same cannot be said for Scotland's most populous city which was strongly in favour of leaving the United Kingdom. Travel interest for Inverness, Edinburgh and Aberdeen increased markedly on Friday compared to the previous Friday, when Scotland's future remained uncertain and polls predicted a tight vote. Scroll down for video . Renewed interest: After overall interest in Scotland dropped, cities such as Inverness are popular again . Searches on travel site Trivago for for accommodation in the next two months have risen by 33 per cent for Inverness, 27 per cent for Edinburgh and 10 per cent for Aberdeen since last week. Conversely, site searches for accommodation in Glasgow increased by just two per cent from the Friday before. 'This is hardly surprising considering the strength of the "yes" vote there,' said Trivago's Denise Bartlett. 'Perhaps it will take a little longer for travellers to feel comfortable visiting Glasgow again.' In the week leading up to the vote interest on the site for Scotland as a tourist destination had plummeted by 29 per cent year-on-year as travellers awaited the outcome of the referendum. 'This definitely indicates an increase in travel interest from the rest of the UK to Scotland,' Bartlett said. 'Hopefully this indicates a return to normality for Scottish tourism, as it would be a shame for the country to suffer and unfortunate for visitors to miss out on everything Scotland has to offer.' High on the hill: Searches for Edinburgh have risen 27 per cent on the website Trivago last week . On the up: Castlegate in the city centre of Aberdeen, for which accommodation searches have risen 10% . Before the referendum there were reports of visitors from outside Scotland cancelling holidays due to the perception of anti-English feeling in the country. But when asked if the 'no' vote would have any impact, positive or negative, on visitors choosing to go to Scotland from south of the border VisitScotland's spokeswoman gave a simple: 'No'. 'We are not aware of cancellations - people come to Scotland because of the friendly people, the landscapes, cities and amazing events and will continue to do so,' the spokeswoman said. With the referendum over, Scottish tourism can now focus on the Ryder Cup golf tournament between Europe and the United States set for Gleneagles in Perthshire.
Interest has skyrocketed for Scotland's Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness . But tourists aren't anywhere near as keen on Glasgow for a holiday . Scotland's biggest city emphatically voted yes for independence .

A young girl, rejected by an ancient community, was said to have been buried face down to prevent her spirit from rising from the grave at just 13 years of age. That's the verdict of archaeologists who discovered the child's skeleton near a church in northern Italy. They believe she was considered dangerous in the early part of the Middle Ages, perhaps due to her pale complexion, or because she had a blood disorder that caused her to faint regularly. A young girl, rejected by an ancient community, was said to have been buried (remains pictured) face down to prevent her spirit from rising from the grave at just 13 years old. Experts believe she was considered dangerous in the Middle Ages, perhaps because of her pale complexion or blood disorder . The remains were discovered by a team of archaeologists from the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology at the Vatican, at the complex of San Calocero in Albenga on the Ligurian Riviera,Italy, Discovery reported. The burial ground was abandoned in 1593 and the girl’s remains are estimated to date from the early Middle Ages, but have not yet been radiocarbon dated. Excavation director, Stefano Roascio, explained that so-called 'prone' burials - when people are buried face down - are usually a punishment intended to humiliate the deceased and stop them from rising from the grave. This has led to the Italian media referring to the young girl as a witch - although these claims have not been verified. The remains were discovered by a team of archaeologists from the Pontifical Institute of Christian Archaeology at the Vatican, at the complex of San Calocero in Albenga (marked on the map) on the Ligurian Riviera, Italy . Prone burials are when an individual is buried face-down. Sometimes people were also buried alive looking downwards into the earth. Archaeologists have excavated over 600 bodies buried in this way across the world, and Britain is the hotspot - with over 200 prone burials, Archaeology reported. Caroline Arcini, of Sweden's National Heritage Board conducted a large study to find similarities between prone burials. She found that the earliest known case of prone burial is 26,000 years ago in the Czech Republic, while the most recent is thought to be a First World War grave. Collections of prone graves have been found in Europe - particularly during Roman and Viking periods, in Mexico and El Salvador and in Taiwan. While there are instances where people buried in a prone position were treated normally, some experts think the burial was used as a humiliating punishment. Anthropologist Elena Dellù said: ‘The prone burial was linked to the belief that the soul left the body through the mouth. Burying the dead face-down was a way to prevent the impure soul threatening the living.’ Anthropologist Elena Dellù said: ‘The prone burial was linked to the belief that the soul left the body through the mouth. 'Burying the dead face-down was a way to prevent the impure soul threatening the living.’ The ultimate punishment was being buried alive face-down, but in this instance it seems the girl avoided this fate because of the position of her limbs. They show no signs of struggling or a violent death. Dr Dellù noticed that the skeleton has spongy bone tissue on the skull, likely from severe anaemia. ‘She could have suffered from an inherited blood disorder such as thalassemia or from haemorrhagic conditions. 'More simply, it could have been an diet lacking in iron’ she explained. Thalassemia is a form of inherited blood disorder that originated in the Mediterranean region. It's caused by the weakening of red blood cells and people with the disorder suffer from severe anaemia, bone deformities and heart problems. They also tend to be short, similar to the girl whose skeleton was discovered. It could be that the young girl, who was just 5ft tall, scared her community because of her pale colouring, possible haematomas - the collection of blood outside the blood vessels, usually in liquid form within the tissue - and fainting. The find is particularly unusual because she was buried just in front of a church. Dr Roascio said that a similar burial of a teenage was found in front of a church in Pava near Siena, Italy. Prone burials are relatively unusual. The earliest known burial of this time was done 26,000 years ago and occurred as recently as the last century. Caroline Arcini of Sweden's National Heritage Board believes that prone burials are a deep-seated conscious act that can be seen across different cultures and religions. Spongy bones indicate that the girl may have suffered from an inherited blood disorder such as thalassemia or from haemorrhagic conditions. This might have caused her to faint and be very pale. This could have convinced superstitious locals in the Middle Ages to stay away from her. Blood from a patient with thalassemia is pictured .
13-year-old was buried face down in the Middle Ages, experts believe . This type of burial was considered a humiliating punishment for an outsider . She was probably rejected by her community, possibly for her pallor, as the girl is thought to have suffered from a blood disorder . Remains were found in Albenga on the Ligurian Riviera, Italy . Teenager was buried in front of a church - making the find even rarer .

Instagram account, ByeFelipe, documents some of the worst abusive messages women receive on dating sites, such as Tinder. From threats of violence to comments on bra size, the account is enough to make any woman want to avoid internet dating. But Texan blogger, Karen Cheng, wanted to show that not all Tinder men are bad – and set up a trap to prove her point. Texan blogger, Karen Cheng, wanted to show that not all Tinder men are bad – and set up a trap to prove her point. Pictured above are the common words used in the responses sent by men on the app . She created up a fake female Tinder profile of a girl named Lisa used an automatic tool to right-swipe 1,000 profiles of men in San Francisco and another 1,000 in New York City. Right-swiping means that you would like to be matched with that person. If that person also swipes right on your profile then you’re a match and can message them. In this experiement, a thousand matched and then messaged Lisa. Since this was a robot and not actually her, none of the men received any responses. Ms Cheng says this high number isn’t unusual on Tinder. ‘Her match rate was actually 70 per cent,’ she told DailyMail.com. Ms Cheng created up a fake female Tinder profile of a girl named Lisa and created a robot that right-swiped on 1,000 profiles of men in San Francisco and another 1,000 in New York City.  More than thousand matched and then messaged Lisa, but not turned hostile despite not receiving a response . The experiment was a response to Instagram account, ByeFelipe, allows women to share screenshots of abusive messages they receive on dating sites, such as Tinder . Ms Cheng said she thought some men may become hostile after being ignored, as shown in these screenshots from ByeFelipe's Instagram account. However, this was not the case . ‘There are a lot more men than women on Tinder, and often times a large fraction of the men in a women's swipe queue have already right-swiped on her, so they're "pre-swiped" in a sense and will insta-match.’ Here's a unique way to find your next date. Canadian engineer James Befurt was tired of wasting time on Tinder, so he decided to take matters into his own hands. Using a computer programme, along with a clever motor setup and a stylus, the Vancouver, British Columbia-based Java developer came up with a way to get through as many of his potential soulmates as quickly as possible. Apple recently revealed that Tinder was one of the most downloaded apps of the year. And - until now - it required users' undivided attention while perusing profiles. But Mr Befurt's hilarious contraption, shown in the video below, allows Tinder fans to swipe right forever - or at least until they run out of potential matches near them. Ms Cheng said she thought some men may become hostile after being ignored, as shown in sites such as ByeFelipe. But out of 1,007 men who messaged Lisa, none turned aggressive or rude. ‘Just about everyone who messaged her was friendly and respectful,’ said Ms Cheng. ‘Sure, there was teasing, guys who were straightforward about their intention to hook up, and plenty of bad pickup lines.’ ‘But no one became hostile or resorted to name-calling.’ Some of the matches took the time to ask her meaningful questions. Many of them even Googled her company - which was listed in her profile - in an effort to make conversation. ‘So if these Tinder horror stories are so common, how come we didn’t find a single one among over a thousand messages?’ Ms Cheng writes on her blog. ‘It’s like shark attacks. We hear about them in the news every summer, but only five people a year die of shark attacks. ‘It’s the negative stories that get all the attention. Stories about men being decent and polite just aren’t as interesting as the stories of men being jerks.’ ‘But here it is. Evidence that the vast majority of guys are actually pretty decent.’ Bye Felipe reveals that many men become instantly aggressive when a woman fails to show interest. However, Ms Cheng believe the claims have been exaggerated . The account shows that many of the women find themselves facing a barrage of indecent questions. Ms Cheng says this isn't common. 'It’s like shark attacks,' she says. 'We hear about them in the news every summer, but only five people a year die of shark attacks'

Criminal past: Sperm donor Declan Rooney as he emerged smirking from court in 1993 . The Mail on Sunday can today unmask an anonymous sperm donor who boasts that an astonishing 32 women are expecting his babies and another 15 are about to take pregnancy tests after asking him for donations. Declan Rooney, 42, claims he is ‘Britain’s most successful sperm donor’ and says he has donated sperm to two more women who have already given birth. He also has six children born naturally with three different mothers – meaning he has the potential to be the father of 55 children. The former web designer runs his website under the alias Upton North and advertises himself on Facebook to single women, lesbians and couples desperate for a baby. Last night experts called for an investigation into the unregulated and potentially dangerous service he provides to women he meets online, with one sociologist saying that Mr Rooney was ‘determinedly engineering a one-man eugenics movement’. Medical experts fear he could create a ‘ticking timebomb’ by flouting official guidelines for sperm donation, which limit the number of families that legitimate sperm donors can help create to a maximum of ten. As well as growing up without knowing their father, his children will potentially live close to each other, meaning that half-brothers and sisters may meet and unwittingly have children of their own. The murky world of unregulated sperm donation has come under increasing scrutiny from watchdogs as the internet offers men and women easy opportunities to meet up anonymously and create families – without needing to qualify or pay for expensive private fertility treatment, overseen by doctors. A cycle of artificial insemination costs £850 privately and is only offered to selected patients on the NHS. Rooney set up his anonymous site last March, offering to visit women in their homes or hotel within a 50-mile radius of his Middlesbrough home and give them a sample of his sperm in a specimen pot for them to inseminate themselves. His website, which was taken down last night after he was contacted by The Mail on Sunday, stated: ‘I am willing to help either through artificial insemination or naturally with no strings attached.’ Despite that wording, he told this newspaper that he does not have sex with the women. Sperm donations are not illegal unless a man charges for the service, but the risks of private donations include reports of women being abused, pressured into sex or forced to hand over money when they meet a donor. Rooney, who insists he acts within the law, says he only charges ‘expenses’ and that his motives are purely ‘altruistic’. He said: ‘I like helping people’. And he added: ‘Have you changed anyone’s lives for the better?’ His cynical advert: Declan Rooney boasted of 'natural' insemination, but insisted he did not offer sex . Since becoming a sperm donor, Rooney says two lesbian women in the North East have given birth to his children. He said: ‘When I was told, I was really happy for the mothers. I like meeting new people, I like hearing their stories, I like problem-solving. I’m quite an altruistic person. I haven’t done anything illegal. ‘I set myself up as a private donor and have been inundated – I have 5,000 emails. If they are too far out of the area I say no to them. If you say you’re a sperm donor, people say it’s really smutty, but if someone said they were an egg donor it’s like “Wow that’s amazing”. There were a few days when I had a success each day. It’s a good feeling.’ On Rooney’s webpage he backed up his claims by posting photos of ultrasounds scans, positive reviews from female recipients and an image of a specimen pot. A HUMAN Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) spokesman said: ‘Unfortunately, women finding a sperm donor online, rather than through a licensed clinic, run a number of risks. Apart from the personal safety risks to the woman, the donor won’t have been screened for infectious diseases like HIV, or for inherited illnesses, and he will probably also be the legal parent of any child that is born.' Dr Suvir Venkataraman of London’s Harley Street Fertility Clinic, added: ‘A registered clinic will inform a child of a donor who else has been born using their sperm so they don’t have a sexual relationship with someone sharing the same genes. This man cannot expect to keep tabs on everyone and that is a big risk.’ Mr Rooney, who says his partner ‘understands my reasons for donating’, claims that his family have had no medical issues in five generations. ‘I wouldn’t donate if I had something genetically wrong. And there is no risk that my offspring will unknowingly have sex with each other because evolution makes sure that we are not attracted to people with the same genes,’ he claimed. He also boasted that he is ‘immune’ from the Child Support Agency. ‘The CSA has to find your taxable income and assets. They would have difficulty. I’m not scared of them,’ he said. Mr Rooney was photographed on the front page of the Daily Mail in 1993 leaving court smirking after he was found guilty of causing £60,000 of graffiti damage. He was given a suspended sentence and served seven months in a young offenders’ institution while waiting to stand trial. As he stepped out of the dock he said: ‘My barrister’s a genius. I’m laughing. It’s a soft touch.’ Questioned on his criminal past last night, he said: ‘I don’t mention it to recipients, but if the subject comes up then I will talk about it.’ Sociologist Claire McQuoid has researched private sperm donation and is setting up a charity for women who have been abused by donors. She said: ‘When Upton North appeared on the scene he developed a reputation for someone determined to impregnate as many women as possible, with no concern for child welfare, or indeed the women themselves. His aggressive online marketing is akin to a eugenics mission where he competes with other donors.’

Srinagar, India (CNN) -- A soldier at an army camp in Indian-administered Kashmir killed five of his colleagues Thursday before turning his gun on himself, the military said. The soldier opened fire with an automatic rifle in the barracks of the camp in the town of Safapora, roughly 30 kilometers (19 miles) north of the capital, Srinagar, said military spokesman Lt. Col. N.N. Joshi. An investigation into the shooting has been ordered, Joshi said. Kashmir is a mountainous region that has long been the subject of dispute between India and Pakistan. Both sides keep large numbers of troops in the region. Since 1989, India has also been fighting against a violent separatist movement in the mainly Muslim area it controls, a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people. Previous cases of members of the Indian Army and paramilitary forces in Kashmir turning their guns on their colleagues have taken place over the years. Authorities have attributed previous shootings to stress caused by long duty hours and protracted separation from families. Officials have introduced measures like long periods of leave and recreational facilities to try to tackle the problem. Journalist Mukhtar Ahmad reported from Srinagar, and CNN's Jethro Mullen wrote from Hong Kong.

(CNN) -- Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams underlined their status as overwhelming favorites for the French Open by breezing through their respective title matches in Rome Sunday. Nadal crushed long-time rival Roger Federer 6-1 6-3 in a one-sided final at the Foro Italico. Earlier, Williams blasted 41 winners as she beat Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka by the same score. It was her 24th straight win and she is 16-0 on clay this season with three tournament wins. Nadal was playing his eighth straight final since returning from a seven-month injury layoff in February and has been on an upward curve with each successive week. The pair were meeting for the 30th time and the 20th in a final, but Nadal dominated from the start, breaking service three times. The second set was closer but the 26-year-old Spaniard was never seriously tested as sealed his 24th Masters crown and sixth title of the season. "If you'd told me that four or five months ago I would have said you are crazy," fifth-seeded Nadal told AFP after his win. He now leads Federer 20-10 in head to head clashes with 13 of those wins coming on his favored clay surface. It was Nadal's seventh title triumph in the Italian capital but for Swiss ace Federer it was a sobering experience. "Rafa has much more topspin than all the guys I played this week, so the change was quite a big one," he said. "I tried to play offensively, but unfortunately I didn't have the best day. It didn't go the way I was hoping it to go." Williams, who lost to Azarenka at the Doha tournament this year, never looked in serious danger of a repeat as she swept through the opener for the loss of a single game. She had a brief moment of concern in the second when her Belarus opponent broke back to trail 3-4, but then lost her own service in the next game. No.1 Williams served out the match to love with back to back aces to complete victory in one hour 33 minutes. She then proved a winner with the crowd by giving her victory speech in Italian. For No.3 Azarenka, there is the consolation of a solid week after two months out with an ankle problem. We had a lot of tight games and the match was closer than the score, but Serena played a very good match and was better in the important moments," Azarenka told the WTA Tour official website. "After the trophy ceremony we were just talking about the match and wishing each other luck for the French Open, and that we'll see each other in Paris and hopefully see each other in another final." The second grand slam of the season at Roland Garros starts on Monday week.

On the night the dark shadow of Luis Suarez fell over the Las Vegas strip, the lights were switched back on at full power by the genius of the greatest boxer on earth. Floyd Mayweather was allegedly bitten on his left hand by Argentine wild man Marcos Maidana and not only the deed but the words were ugly reminders of serial chomper Suarez. The scene had moved from the football pitch to the prize ring but the act seemed just as despicable. After Mayweather protested he had been bitten in the eighth round, referee Kenny Bayless issued a severe lecture to the Maidana corner before allowing the fight to continue. Floyd Mayweather celebrates a unanimous points victory over Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas, extending his career record to 47-0 . Floyd Mayweather moved to 47-0 in his career with another routine victory at the MGM Grand as Marcos Maidana failed to match him . Floyd Mayweather was a clear and deserved winner over the Argentine Marcos Maidana at the MGM Grand, taking the win on  unanimous decision . One he had finished delivering a masterclass to his challenger, Mayweather said: ‘At first I didn’t know what had happened but then I realised that he bit me. My fingers went numb and from the eighth round I could only really use the other hand.’ In true Suarez fashion, Maidana said: ‘No, no.’ And when showed the video clip of his crime he said: ‘Perhaps he put his glove in my mouth. Maybe he thinks I’m a dog.’ It was outrageous behaviour but it could not diminish the brilliance which gave Mayweather the 47th victory of his phenomenal, undefeated career. The face of Marcos Maidana is contorted as Floyd Mayweather catches him on the cheek with a powerful left . Marcos Maidana makes his way to the ring looking relaxed and in good spirits but he was unable to reproduce his performance in May's first encounter . Floyd Mayweather makes his way to the ring at the MGM Grand looking business-like in a gold and black robe . Once again, a Floyd Mayweather fight ended with panic among the crowds leaving at the sold-out 16-000 seat arena. The exit procedure seemed to be working better than when there was crushing at the first Maidana fight four months ago. Suddenly, hundreds of fans came running back into the MGM Grand Garden Arena, several of them falling over the seats. There was a report that someone had brandished a gun on the concourse and the fans were fleeing. Several were wheeled away on stretchers but none of the injuries appeared serious. And once he had corralled Argentina’s raging bull for a second time, he raised the prospect that the world might finally see him meet Manny Pacquiao in the $300 million mega-fight for which the world is still waiting, saying: ‘I will talk to my team to see what the future holds. But if the Pacquiao fight presents itself lets make it happen.’ Mayweather only gave himself ‘a C or a C-minus because I got caught with some shots I shouldn’t have.’ Modesty from this man, after giving a master-class in ring-craft. But then he is something of a contradiction. Confronted by suggestions that his legs may be weakening, he danced and moved to drive Maidana to the distraction which no doubt led him to use his teeth rather than his fist. And while so doing he picked off his out-classed challenger with dazzling combinations and bursts of power which nearly landed the statement KO he craved. Mayweather was on the floor twice but each time from shoves better suited to wrestling and on the second occasion referee Bayless deducted a point from the Argentine. Maidana could have been thrown out for the biting incident but Mayweather needed no help to pirouette and punch his way to victory. He even found time to give a pointer to Maidana, which I have never previously witnessed in all these years reporting boxing. Floyd Mayweather complained that Marcos Maidana bit his hand as they were about to break from a clinch . Floyd Mayweather confronts Marcos Maidana about the alleged bite as referee Kenny Bayless intervenes to calm the simmering tensions . The incident was reminiscent of Luis Suarez's bite on Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's match against Italy at the World Cup .

The fighters exchange punches as Marcos Maidana catches Floyd Mayweather on the throat and Mayweather connects with the cheek . Floyd Mayweather's left makes a clean contact with Marcos Maidana's face as the American takes control of the contest . Twice Maidana was so bewildered that he wandered towards the wrong corner at the end of two rounds. On the second occasion, Mayweather turned round to point his opponent in the right direction. Maidana was in denial on all fronts. He claimed he had won the fight saying: ‘If the judges want to give it to a fighter who ran, good luck to them.’ In truth those three official gave it to ‘still’ the best boxer in the world. Two of them by the same score as my card - 116-111. Once again, Mayweather was bang on the Money. Will Smith enjoys the action from the stands at the MGM Grand's Garden Arena . Marcos Maidana roughs Floyd Mayweather up by rubbing his arm in the American's face but the tactics proved unsuccessful in rattling the champion . Floyd Mayweather finds himself hemmed in as Marcos Maidana takes the fight to him in the early stages of the fight .

Marcos Maidana has a point deducted by referee Kenny Bayless after being adjudged to have pushed Floyd Mayweather to the canvas . Floyd Mayweather looks incredulously at Marcos Maidana has he raises his arms at the conclusion of the fight . 1 - This is Mexico Independence weekend and the patriots from south of the border joined the Argentinians who had made the longer trip north in roaring Maidana into the ring. Mayweather arrived to his customary mixed reaction from the lovers and haters. The atmosphere was intimidating, the boxers less so than at the start of their first fight. Mayweather slipped into elusive, dancing mood, rode a couple of swinging rights and pocketed the first round without undue exertion. 10-9 Mayweather. 2 - Mayweather moving more than he did four months ago and Maidana having trouble pinning him down. But when he did find his range he clipped the great man with a couple of good rights.That did not go unpunished but another flurry from the Argentinian probably stole the round. 10-9 Maidana. 3 - Maidana trapped Mayweather on the ropes early but few, if any, of his big swings were connecting. The champion changed up a gear and stopped Maidana in his tracks with several stinging rights. With referee Kenny Bayless keeping it as clean as possible there was more punching than brawling. Although Maidana landed a shuddering right as the bell rang it was Mayweather’s round – just. 10-9 Mayweather. 4 -  Encouraged by that success at the end of the third, Maidana launched a major assault. Mayweather was unable to dance away as he was pummeled on the ropes. Maidana ate some leather in the closing stages but the round was already his. 10-9 Maidana. 5 - With Maidana taking a breather after his exertions in the fourth, Mayweather got into his rhythm and began picking him off with a variety of accurate punches. The Hispanic contingent fell quieter as Maidana was rocked a couple of times in Mayweather’s best round so far. 10-9 Mayweather. 6 - The crowd had been sensing one of the ring’s major upsets earlier but there were cheers as Mayweather’s defensive genius made Maidana miss repeatedly. The old movement and counter-punching skills were back in evidence as Mayweather reeled his way a couple of rounds ahead on my card. 10-9 Mayweather. 7 - The away crowd tried to rouse Maidana but he seemed to be becoming mesmerised by Mayweather’s skills. For the first time Mayweather was on the front-foot, the aggressor. So bemused was Mayweather at being caught by laser beam punching that he wandered towards the wrong corner at the bell. 10-9 Mayweather. 8 - The pre-fight questions had been about Mayweather’s 37-year-old legs but it was Maidana who seemed to be flagging. Mr Money staggered him two or three times with classy combinations. Controversy raged with Mayweather apparently complaining he had been bitten on his left hand. Bayless issued stern warnings to the Maidana corner and the jeers for the Argentine would have sounded familiar in the ears of Luis Suarez. Afrer all that, it was Maywearher’s round by a distance. 10-9 Mayweather. 9 - Mayweaher continued to proves as elusive on the retreat and as wounding with his left right combinations. When Maidana lost his way again at the end of the round it was his tormentor who turned to direct him to his corner. 10-9 Mayweather. 10 - Mayweather returned from that unique piece of behaviour at the end of the ninth to dictating the direction of the fight. In his frustration Maidana wrestled Mayweather to the canvas and had a point deducted for his troublesome conduct. With Maidana rallying thereafter we had a round scored at 9-9. 11 - Maidana was granted recovery time for an alleged low blow but it looked a marginal offence by Mayweather, whose body punching was taking as much out of his challenger as the stinging attention to the head. Maidana was treading deep water throughout the round and almost sank in the closing seconds as Mayweather caught him with punishing lefts and rights. 10-9 Mayweather. 12 -  As if to mock those who had suggested his legs were slowing, Mayweather danced through the last in Ali fashion. That provoked some boos but Maidana needed a knock out and this became even less likely as he hit thin air. 10-9 Maidana. TOTAL: MAYWEATHER 116-111 MAIDANA .

By . Steve Robson . PUBLISHED: . 12:12 EST, 30 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 07:08 EST, 1 May 2013 . A teenager has described the terrifying moment her face was ripped apart by a dog, leaving her with permanent injuries. Chloe Walker, 16, was visiting a friend's house in Shaw, Oldham, when she was attacked by the animal - a Japanese Akita crossed with a Rottweiler. She said: 'When we got to the house . I sat on one of the chairs in the living room but my friend and her . grandma told me to move because that was the dog's chair. WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT . Vicious: The terrifying attack left 16-year-old Chloe Walker with horrendous facial injuries . 'The dog started licking my face, and it made me feel uncomfortable so I tried to move away, but as I moved it attacked. 'The next thing I knew I was outside . the house with blood gushing from my face. My nose and lip were hanging . off and I could hardly see.' Chloe was rushed to hospital and has undergone two operations and required more than 100 stitches to repair her injuries. The dog attacked her so viciously her tear duct was torn out, her cheekbone was fractured, . her nose ripped out of place and her lips torn to shreds. Chloe added: 'My cheekbone will always be fractured - they can't fix that unless I have major surgery. 'Because my tear ducts were ripped . out I have to have a glass tube inside my eye that filters my tears. The . doctors had to sew my nose back on and sew my lips back together, and . I've got a really deep scar on my face. It still hasn't healed, 18 . months later.' Chloe and her parents contacted the . police, but were shocked to discover no action could be taken against . the owners of the dog because the incident happened on private property. It is understood the dog was put down following the . attack in August 2011. Chloe is now urging the Government to go ahead with plans for a change in the law. Last month, 14-year-old Jade Lomas-Anderson was mauled to death by a pack of dogs at a house in Atherton, Greater Manchester. Still recovering: Chloe Walker says she still feels nervous about going out in public following the horrific attack . The dog was a cross-breed between a Japanese Akita, pictured, and a Rottweiler . The dog, a cross between a Rottweiler, pictured, and Japanese Akita was put down after the attack . Greater Manchester Police, who are investigating Jade's death, have said it is 'unlikely' anyone will be prosecuted over Jade's death. They are unable to take action because the dogs involved were not banned breeds and under current laws dog owners cannot be prosecuted if attacks take place on private property. But Jade's family have launched an e-petition calling for a change to the law and her death has prompted MPs to call for urgent reform of dog control laws. In February, the government announced it would amend legislation so dog owners could be prosecuted if their animal attacks someone on private property. Eighteen months after the attack, Chloe says she has been left so traumatised she is scared to go out in public and constantly feels like she's being judged. Angry: Chloe has spoken out as the Government is trying to pass new laws regarding dog attacks . She said: 'It's affected me in so many ways. I've become anxious around dogs, dog lovers and people I don't know. 'Even walking in public with no makeup on is a demanding task, I can't bring myself to do it. 'I dread sleeping at night in fear of having nightmares. 'I find it difficult to have relationships because I think the constant reminders and moods I go in over the intrusive thoughts will destroy them. 'My old friend and her family have blamed me and said it's my own fault because I was told it was the dog's chair, but it was a sofa, I didn't see anything wrong in sitting down. 'The family have not shown any remorse - I still see them near my home and they act like nothing has happened. 'That's why the Government needs to carry on trying to change the law on this. 'I fully support it, and knowing other people think they should be prosecuted has given me the confidence to speak out. 'It'[s happening too often now, and the attack on me and other attacks on young girls in the news show it can happen to people of any age. 'I will fight until the day I die for justice for people in the same boat as me.'

By . Kate Gardiner, Press Association . England's Max Whitlock won his third gold of the Commonwealth Games as he was crowned men's floor champion at the SSE Hydro on Thursday. Whitlock claimed the title with a score of 15.533 after a near-faultless routine which was full of flair, finishing ahead of Canada's Scott Morgan who took silver with 15.133 while 14.550 gave New Zealand's David Bishop bronze. The 21-year-old Englishman added the top floor accolade to Tuesday's team gold and Wednesday's all-around title, with finals on the pommel horse, rings and parallel bars still to come. Bishop was first on the floor and tumbled well to set a strong early target, before Wales' Clinton Purnell moved into second place with a tally of 14.366.

By . Associated Press . PUBLISHED: . 14:18 EST, 2 December 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 14:18 EST, 2 December 2013 . Passengers must now pass through security when they leave two airports in the Northeast - entering bulletproof glass pods for a few seconds before being able to exit. The futuristic unmanned portals have replaced officers at the security exits of the Syracuse, New York and Atlantic City, New Jersey airports. They prevent passengers from backtracking into secure areas once they exit the plane and keep outsiders from entering through the exits. Travelers step into the elevator-sized cylinders and wait as a door slides closed behind them. After a couple of seconds, another door opens in front with a female voice coolly instructing, 'Please exit'. New measures: Passengers walk through security portals at the Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey. The doors are designed to keep people from coming back through exits to secure areas . 'I don't understand those doors,' said Cindy Katz, of Jupiter, Florida, who came through the Atlantic City airport for the Thanksgiving holiday. 'What are they supposed to do? It slows everyone down.' But they could be the wave of things to come as the Transportation Security Administration prepares to shift exit-monitoring duties to local airports next year as a way to save $88.1 million. The doors' manufacturer, New York City-based Eagle Security Group, Inc., says it is in talks with other airports. The technology saves airports from having to put paid security staff at the exit checkpoints. Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, who is pushing to keep the TSA in charge of exit monitoring, says such staffing could cost Philadelphia International Airport about $2 million a year. Syracuse Aviation Commissioner Christina Callahan, whose airport installed eight portals this past fall at a total cost of about $750,000, says staffing each exit with a guard would cost about $580,000 a year. 'So when compared with the cost to install the portals, they will have paid for themselves and begin saving the airport money in little over a year,' Callahan said. Money-saving: The exits also do not need to be manned, saving the airports paying for exit staff . As one final security measure, travelers step into the elevator-sized . cylinders and wait as a door slides closed behind them. After a couple . of seconds, another door opens in front with a female voice coolly . instructing, 'Please exit'. Passengers can then leave the airport. The exits, which are large enough for passengers to take luggage with them, are designed to stop outsiders getting to secure areas in the airport. So far they are only in use in Syracuse, New York and Atlantic City, New Jersey. Officials say the exits will merely add a few seconds to the end of the journey, but some passengers expressed their concern that the exits could cause lines. Others have worried whether they are being scanned somehow while closed inside. While . it is possible to equip portals with biometric scanning technology, . officials say the current versions do nothing but form a barrier between . the secure and nonsecure areas of the airport. 'We're not scanning anything or doing anything really,' South Jersey Transportation Authority spokesman Kevin Rehmann said. 'When one side's open, the other side's closed. Period.' 'Certainly funding is limited for staffing,' she said. 'Airports are going to have to find other ways to keep up with mandates.' In Atlantic City, the manpower savings from the portals are estimated at $300,000 a year, South Jersey Transportation Authority spokesman Kevin Rehmann said. The airport has had a version of the exits since about 2009, but upgraded its five portals last year as part of a $25 million terminal renovation. The portals are intended to remove the potential for the kind of human error that was blamed for a 2010 breach that shut down a Newark Liberty International Airport terminal for several hours and caused worldwide flight delays after a Rutgers graduate student slipped under a rope to see his girlfriend off on her flight. On recent evenings in both Syracuse and Atlantic City, there did not appear to be any sign of backups caused by the roughly five-second process of entering and exiting through the portals. Signs encouraged travelers to enter the pods in groups - they can accommodate up to six people at a time - rather than one by one. 'It went smoothly,' says Robert Beech, who arrived back home in Syracuse on a flight from New York City. 'Just had to wait for the doors to open and close. Even with carry-on, pull-behind bags, you can still get through there without having to worry about bumping into things.' Mindy Carpenter, of Cortland, who was waiting for friends to arrive from Washington state, says she wasn't a fan of the doors. 'It just took so long for the four of them to come through,' she said. Mixed reviews: Some passengers have said they worry the exits will cause queues as they try to leave . The appearance of the exits in Syracuse provoked a blogger to label them 'detention pods' in furtherance of a police state. Aviation security expert Jeff Price calls the criticism unwarranted. 'It doesn't do anything to you. There's no privacy intrusion. All it does is prevent a backflow of people,' said Price, a professor at Metropolitan State University in Denver. 'It's not conducting a National Security Agency check or something.' A common question among passengers is whether they are being scanned somehow while closed inside. While it is possible to equip portals with biometric scanning technology, officials say the current versions do nothing but form a barrier between the secure and nonsecure areas of the airport. 'We're not scanning anything or doing anything really,' Rehmann said. 'When one side's open, the other side's closed. Period.'

(CNN) -- The lead singer of a 1970 tune that is sampled on a new Kanye West song has filed suit, alleging the rapper used the snippet without his permission. Ricky Spicer was 12 when he became the lead singer for a group called the Ponderosa Twins Plus One in 1969. A year later, they recorded "Bound," according to the suit. Spicer, now 56, says his voice is heard in West's song "Bound 2" at least four times. "Mr. Spicer's voice is sampled exactly as he recorded it and his voice, altered by the Defendants, is also heard several times," the 13-page complaint alleges. In the credits for the album "Yeezus," Def Jam Records says the song was licensed through Rhino Entertainment and Robinson Music Group. The lawsuit names West, Def Jam, Rhino, Roc-A-Fella Records, and Universal Music Group as defendants. It seeks unspecified damages for common law copyright infringement. The Ponderosa Twins were two sets of twins and Spicer. According to the lawsuit, Alvin and Alfred Pelham are dead and Keith and Kirk Gardner are imprisoned. Spicer has power of attorney for the Gardner twins, the suit says. The suit, which was filed in New York, says Spicer has a copyright on "Bound." It asks for exemplary damages and further compensation the court thinks is appropriate. Kanye West did not say he's the 'next Nelson Mandela' West co-opts Confederate flag: Publicity stunt or way to prompt debate?

Britain will not impose sanctions or support military action against Russia, according to a briefing paper that was revealed in error yesterday. The document became public when one of David Cameron’s advisers left it on display to press photographers before a Downing Street meeting. The blunder by Hugh Powell, who is deputy national security adviser, also shows that the Government has no plans to freeze Russian investors out of the City of London. A document (pictured) that stated Britain will not impose sanctions on Russia or support military action was revealed by accident . The document was revealed by deputy national security adviser Hugh Powell to photographers as he walked past No10 to attend a meeting about the crisis in Ukraine . Instead, the briefing paper recommends that the UN should take the lead and possibly send monitors to Ukraine. The document says: ‘UK should not support for now, trade sanctions ... or close London’s financial centre to Russians.’ It also says that Britain should ‘discourage any discussions (eg at Nato) of emergency military preparations’. Downing Street sources confirmed that the briefing document is official policy. The leaked document reveals details of the UK’s plans for raising pressure on Russia. Several key elements will interest the Kremlin: . WHAT IT SAYS The papers show plans to break off relations with Russia through a series of international organisations. Clearly legible are references to the G8, EU-Russia formats and the NATO-Russia council and it says ‘visa restrictions/travel bans on key’ personnel. WHAT IT MEANS EU foreign ministers plan to suspend cooperation with Russia over the planned G8 summit in Sochi in June. The EU has suspended cooperation over visas. WHAT IT SAYS ‘UK should not support for now, trade sanctions...or close London’s financial centre to Russians.’ WHAT IT MEANS US Secretary of State John Kerry has threatened asset freezes on Russians in America. But Britain does not intend to follow suit, for fear of losing Russian investment. WHAT IT SAYS A section on Ukraine talks about a technical assistance package and mentions a ‘deep and comprehensive’ trade deal and ‘contingency EU work on providing Ukraine with alternative gas supplies if Russia cuts them off’. WHAT IT MEANS The UK yesterday pledged £10million in aid to the Ukrainian government to help stabilise the country. EU ministers said they were keen to pursue a free trade agreement with Ukraine. No. 10 confirmed that the UK has urged EU officials to help Ukraine buy its energy elsewhere. WHAT IT SAYS Britain should back the ‘deployment of OSCE and/or UN (but not EU) monitors to Crimea and Eastern Ukraine’, ‘push UN Secretary General Ban to take the lead’, ‘accept a special European Council’ and ‘discourage any discussions (eg at Nato) of emergency military preparations’. WHAT IT MEANS Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe monitors began deploying to Ukraine last night. A special EU summit will be held on Thursday. Effective ruling out of support for military action. Ministers fear that imposing trade restrictions or somehow excluding Russians from the financial markets in London will hurt economic growth and deter foreign investment. The capital is known as ‘Londongrad’ due to the number of millionaire Russian oligarchs based here. A senior figure said: ‘We’re trying to find ways of hurting Russia, not hurting ourselves.’ Mr Powell, who was at Eton with the . Prime Minister, is the son of Margaret Thatcher’s chief foreign policy . adviser Charles Powell and nephew of Tony Blair’s chief of staff . Jonathan Powell. The document undermined claims by Mr Cameron and William Hague that the UK was set to get tough with Russia. Visiting . the Ukrainian capital Kiev, the Foreign Secretary described the . situation as the biggest crisis in Europe in the 21st century. David Cameron and William Hague - pictured meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minsiter Arseniy Yatsenyuk today - claimed the UK was set to get tough with Russia . He warned Russian president Vladimir Putin that he faces a ‘significant cost’ for taking control of the Ukrainian region. After chairing the National Security Council meeting, Mr Cameron said a clear message needed to be ‘sent to the Russian government that continuing down this path of violating the sovereignty of another country will have costs and consequences’. He added: ‘We shall have to bring to bear diplomatic, political, economic and other pressures.’ US secretary of state John Kerry threatened to deny Russians in America access to their money today . By contrast, US secretary of state John Kerry went much further, threatening to deny Russians in America access to their money. He said Mr Putin ‘may find himself with asset freezes on Russian business. American business may pull back, there may be a further tumble of the rouble’. Last night EU foreign ministers, meeting in Brussels, agreed to suspend cooperation with Russia over the planned G8 summit in Mr Putin’s holiday home of Sochi in June. The EU will also suspend cooperation on visas and they warned that ‘further sanctions’ may be imposed after an emergency summit on Thursday. A Downing Street spokesman refused to discuss the leak. ‘We never comment on security matters,’ he said. Labour MP Simon Danczuk called for Mr Powell to resign, pointing out that Bob Quick – the former Scotland Yard head of counter-terrorism – was forced to quit in 2009 after a similar mistake. He said: ‘It’s astonishing that the deputy national security adviser can’t keep sensitive documents like this private. It’s clearly a serious issue and needs to be addressed.’ Tory MP Douglas Carswell added: ‘I’m surprised to hear that Inspector Clouseau is working in Downing Street. We have literally shown all our cards.’ One Government official indicated that a reprimand was on the cards for Mr Powell.
Cameron's adviser Hugh Powell left file on display to photographers . Document revealed Britain will not impose sanctions against Russia . Will not support military action against the country either, it showed . Also disclosed Russian investors will not be frozen out of City of London .

David Cameron’s insistence on an EU referendum would not prevent the Lib Dems entering into a new coalition with the Tories, Nick Clegg revealed today. The Deputy Prime Minister repeated his attack on Mr Cameron’s ‘vague’ promise of a renegotiation of Britain's membership of the European Union, claiming it would damage jobs and growth. But he insisted he did not object to a referendum ‘in principle’ as Business Secretary Vince Cable predicted the British public would vote to stay in the EU. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg used his weekly radio phone-in to reveal he would not block David Cameron's EU referendum in the event of a new coalition in 2015 . Mr Cameron used his long-awaited speech yesterday to announce plans to start drawing up legislation for a referendum and renegotiating powers from Brussels before putting a fresh settlement to the people before 2017. Today the PM met some of the European leaders face-to-face at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. His speech to the gathering of political, economic and business leaders focused on Britain's priorities for its 12-month presidency of the G8, including counter-terrorism, tax and transparency. But he touched on the European question, insisting that his EU policy was ‘not about turning our backs on Europe - quite the opposite’. Mr Cameron used a speech at the World Economic Forum today to insist he was not turning his back on Europe . David Cameron was today was branded . 'Europe's Scaredy-cat' in an editorial by the German news magazine . Spiegel over his plans for an EU referendum. In an online piece published today, it was claimed the PM’s pledge to hold a referendum by 2017 was driven by ‘fear’. ‘Fear . of his party, fear of voters, and fear of the EU itself, which he . neither fully understands nor has ever really been interested in,’ it . said.It claims his . long-awaited speech on Europe was ‘boring’ and was ‘an attempt to shake . off a troublesome issue by postponing it to a later date’. ‘He . wants Europe to be a free trade zone with beach access. He missed an . opportunity on Wednesday to haul Britain back to the centre of Europe. ‘Apart . from vague demands like competitiveness, flexibility and fairness, he . has no idea how the EU should develop. ‘His thinking on Europe is . indecisive and chained to the present. 'What . Europe witnessed on Wednesday was a speech delivered by a politician . prone to knee-jerk reactions who lacks values or a vision. He lacks . gravity. Cameron floats above Europe like an astronaut.’ He said: ‘This is about how we make the case for a more competitive, more open and more flexible Europe and how we secure the UK's place in it.’ Setting out his case for reform of the EU, Mr Cameron added: ‘It is not just right for the United Kingdom, it is necessary for Europe. ‘Europe is being out-competed, out-invested, out-innovated and it is time we made the EU an engine for growth, not a cause of cost for businesses and complaint for its citizens.’ The speech came shortly after Mr Clegg repeated his criticism that delaying a referendum for five years created ‘uncertainty which could deter investors from setting up businesses in Britain. ‘I simply don’t understand the point of spending years and years, and years tying yourself up in knots first, so called ‘renegotiating’ the terms of Britain’s membership in ways that at the moment at least, are completely vague,’ Mr Clegg said during his weekly radio phone-in on LBC 97.3. ‘That discourages investment and inhibits growth and jobs, which has to remain our absolute priority at a time when the economy is still struggling to recover.’ Labour leader Ed Miliband yesterday told MPs: ‘No, we don't want an in-out referendum.' But Mr Clegg insisted he was not opposed to a referendum in theory: ‘It’s not the principle of a referendum. I’ve got absolutely no fear of a referendum at all.’ With opinion polls pointing to a possible hung parliament at the 2015 general election, Mr Cameron made clear delivering a referendum would be a deal breaker in any new coalition. Mr Clegg made clear the Lib Dems would not block it. ‘If a coalition is necessary following the votes of the British people then we’ll play our part,’ he said. It follows former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy saying he could not envisage his party agreeing to a referendum if the Conservatives failed to win a majority at the next election and wanted to form another coalition. But Business Secretary Vince Cable today insisted the Liberal Democrats have no quarrel with a referendum. He said he and his party were confident Britain would remain within the EU, and that the public would make sure of it. 'We have no quarrel with the principle of a referendum and indeed, Parliament in the UK has recently voted for the conditions under which a referendum will happen,' Mr Cable said during a trip to Dublin. 'I am pretty confident that the British people, when it comes to it, will support it. They have to engage in that debate now and make sure it's won.'

A have-a-go hero stopped three louts who had stole a pensioner's mobility scooter but he had to let them go after police took an hour to arrive. Michael Lowe, 29, cornered the trio of joyriders in a passageway behind his home in Northenden, Manchester, just after midnight and asked his uncle to dial 999. One of them claimed the scooter belonged to his grandmother but when the charity volunteer shone a torch on it he saw it had been hot-wired and was covered in mud after being ridden in fields. Michael Lowe (left) cornered three louts who had made off with a mobility scooter while his uncle Neil Hodkin (right) called police. But police took an hour to arrive on the scene and in that time the men had esaped . He attempted to hold the men for as long as possible while his uncle, Neil Hodkin, 46, was on the phone to police, but they claim they took so long to respond that the group made off. Mr Lowe, who volunteers at stables to help disabled children ride horses, said: 'I tried to keep them for as long as I could but, in the end, they legged it into the fields. 'I could have given chase but I had to think of my own safety. My uncle couldn't help because he was being kept on the phone to the police. 'If they had come sooner they would have captured them.' Mr Hodkin said: 'I wanted to help my nephew but the call handler kept saying "I just need some more details". 'Call handlers are trained to do the best job they can but, frankly, that's not the point when you have individuals on the scene. The system's just not working.' After the louts ran off, the pair then began their own investigation, and found a second damaged scooter nearby and established that they belonged to next-door neighbours on another street. Mr Hodkin said: 'The police only turned up an hour later and they spoke to my nephew as if he had stolen them. I thought it was a disgraceful response. 'I think it's atrocious local youths have targeted elderly disabled people. It means they haven't got the means to get out and about. They're stranded. 'I think the response from the police was atrocious.' Inspector Luke Breakspear, from Greater Manchester Police, said: 'Police were initially called at 00.03am and the caller reported he could see youths driving a mobility scooter some way in the distance. One of the thugs claimed the scooter belonged to his grandmother but when Michael Lowe shone a torch on it he saw it had been hot-wired and was covered in mud after being ridden in fields (file picture) 'As with every 999 call, the call handler had to establish the exact details, location and circumstances of the incident in order to correctly prioritise the call and allocate the right officers to attend. 'This call lasted five minutes. At that time, the division was already dealing with two grade one incidents. 'Grade one incidents are given a higher priority as they relate to potential threats to people's lives so it is only right we allocate more resources to these critical jobs. 'This incident was therefore graded two and an officer was on scene at 1.02am, 59 minutes after the original call. 'I would also like to stress that the stolen mobility scooters were found and returned to their original owners that same night. 'However, if the caller does have any concerns about our response we would be more than happy to discuss them with him and address those concerns.'

(CNN) -- Carl Fields flips through hundreds of job applications he's filled out during the last 20 months of unemployment. "I feel that I am going to get a job," he says. "I just feel it in my bones and my spirit that I am going to get a job. ... It's just a matter of when." Fields, 59, is an African-American in Plainsboro, New Jersey, with a bachelor's degree who has been unemployed since February 2009. He was let go from his job as a vice president at a large insurance brokerage firm. He had worked there for more than 25 years. He is also a devout Christian with an enormous amount of faith that he soon will be employed again. Unfortunately, there are a slew of statistics that suggest his optimism may be unwarranted. "It's been a devastating recession for American society. We haven't seen unemployment rates like this since the '40s or around the Depression," says Melvin Oliver, co-author of "Black Wealth/White Wealth: A New Perspective on Racial Inequality." "For African-Americans, it's been a tsunami. It's been just a catastrophic event." For black male college graduates 25 and older, the unemployment rate is 7.8 percent, as of August, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's 4.4 percent for white male college graduates older than 25. The unemployment rate for whites was 8.7 percent in September, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For blacks, it was 16.1 percent. The difference is often explained by a lack of college education among many blacks. But even college-educated blacks are unemployed at a higher rate than whites. "The college-educated black population is still predominantly in government jobs, which we've seen a lot of cutbacks," Oliver says. "They're predominantly in the retail sector and they're in parts of the corporate sector that are the first to go. And this is one of the issues that we have: that our highly educated African-Americans are still getting trained in areas that are most vulnerable in the economy. They're not the dynamic, growing parts of the economy." The unemployment rate doesn't tell the whole story. The Labor Department also issues an employment-population ratio, which tracks what percentage of a given population is employed. A little more than 64 percent of black males were employed in December 2007 when the recession began. By last month, that figure had dropped to 56.9 percent. While not all of the people represented in that drop are involuntarily out of a job, a significant portion are. Economist Julianne Malveaux says the employment-population ratio represents "families that are not accumulating [wealth]. These are families that have children who are going to college. And they're saying, 'I can't help you. I don't have anything for you.' " That's the case for Fields and his wife, Lynette Clark Fields. Cameron Clark, the youngest of their children, was attending Morehouse College until last spring. He had to leave, partly because his grades were poor, and partly because the Fieldses didn't have the money for him to stay. "The financial condition of this family says we can't afford you to [be] back at Morehouse. We cannot afford that level of tuition. It just cannot happen," Carl Fields says. Clark is now in community college, and his grades are better. He hopes to return to Morehouse soon. "When my blessing comes through, then there will probably be a blessing extended to Cameron to go back," Fields says. "We're not sure when that will be." Fields' next "blessing" may not be as profitable as his last job. A Gallup Poll says that "underemployment" for blacks was 28.3 percent in May. That means more than a quarter of employed blacks are working for less money at jobs beneath their skill or education levels. Fields says he realizes and accepts that he may not ever work in a job at his skill level ever again. Every day he goes to the library to surf the job boards and fill out applications. "Not all of those are in my career discipline," he says, nodding to the jobs pulled up on a computer screen. "It doesn't really matter. ... I've been out of the picky mode for quite some time." This former vice president has recently applied for positions as an administrative assistant and warehouse clerk. One version of his résumé leaves off his vice president title so that employers don't automatically weed him out as "overqualified." In addition to the online applications, Fields has attended more than a dozen job fairs, but he says he leaves every one feeling frustrated. "I go despite the results because I never know if the next job fair is going to be the one where that job, the next career will come from. It causes me to keep going," he says. In the end, it may be his faith -- or at least his church -- that leads to a job. When Fields' influential pastor, the Rev. Buster Soaries, found out he was looking for work after more than a year and a half, the minister asked some of his more connected members to put some feelers out for Fields. That hasn't yielded Fields a job ... yet. But he says he's still hopeful.
Carl Fields, 59, is an African-American with a college degree who has been unemployed for a year and a half. He is one of many black males unemployed, which statistics show are almost double the number of white males.

(CNN) -- Not long ago, it was virtually guaranteed that the "Big Four" of men's tennis would grace the semifinals of every major tournament. But times are changing -- while fans had hoped Roger Federer might make it as far as the last eight in China this week for a tantalizing clash with Novak Djokovic, it was not to be. The former world No. 1 said he had been energized by the response to his first appearance since September's U.S. Open after Wednesday's win over Andreas Seppi, but he was stopped in his tracks 24 hours later. Federer, now ranked seventh and battling for a place in the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals for the 12th successive year, was beaten 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 by former world No. 7 Gael Monfils at the Shanghai Masters. Blog: When should Federer retire? As a semifinalist last year, the 32-year-old will lose points in the race for the eight places in London. The 17-time grand slam champion went straight back out on court to play alongside China's Zhang Ze in the doubles -- a rare foray in the format for the Swiss -- and suffered another defeat as they went down 6-1 1-6 10-8 against Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo. Defending champion Djokovic, meanwhile, booked his place in the quarterfinals with a 6-3 6-3 win over Italy's Fabio Fognini. He will face a Frenchman who beat Federer for just the second time in eight career meetings, but has a 0-8 record against Djokovic. Monfils, now ranked 42nd after resuming his career this year following an injury-plagued 2012 season, had led 5-3 in the second set and also 5-3 in the tie-break but admitted nerves got to him. "I knew that I choked on this forehand at 5-4," the 27-year-old said. "Then I changed my ideas because I was maybe nervous, too. Even though I was tired, I tried to play more aggressively sometimes, going more for my shots and it worked. "It's a good win for me. I feel a bit sorry for him because I know he's running for London. But it's tennis. He's going to have more opportunity those weeks coming up." World No. 1 Rafael Nadal, who is assured a place at the London finals, moved into the Shanghai quarterfinals with a 6-1 7-6 (7-5) victory over Carlos Berlocq on Thursday. The Spaniard will next face Federer's eighth-ranked compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka, who won 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 against another finals hopeful, Canada's No. 11 Milos Raonic. With the other member of the game's leading quartet, Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, already ruled out of his home showpiece event next month due to injury, it would be a massive blow for organizers if Federer is also absent. Federer has two tournaments left in which to qualify -- his home Swiss Indoors and the Paris Masters. He was the losing finalist in Basel last year, but skipped the French event so can potentially gain points there. "He's still strong," Monfils said. "It's just a matter of confidence, I think. I have no doubt that he will get back to the way people expect him to be." Spanish third seed David Ferrer also crashed out in Shanghai, losing 6-4 6-3 to Florian Mayer -- becoming the German's first top-10 scalp this year. Fourth-ranked Ferrer, who has already qualified for next month's season finale, dropped to a 50-18 record this year. Mayer, meanwhile, will next face French seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who kept alive his hopes of qualifying for London by beating Japan's Kei Nishikori 7-6 (7-5) 6-0. Sixth seed Juan Martin del Potro walked into the quarterfinals when German veteran Tommy Haas pulled out of their clash with a back problem. The Argentine, fifth in the points standings, will next face Spain's Nicolas Almagro -- who dented Tomas Berdych's hopes of clinching a London berth by beating the sixth-ranked Czech 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 7-6 (7-4) in two hours and 37 minutes.

Scientists believe they are a step closer to understanding why we like a gentle touch. A new study claims to have isolated the specific class of sensory cells in the skin that respond to a gentle caress. Social animals, from humans to cats, all seem to enjoy being stroked, but until now the neuronal circuitry underlying the sensation had been a mystery. Feels good: Scientists claim to have finally isolated the class of sensory cells in the skin that respond to a gentle caress, shedding light on why it is that humans and other animals find stroking so pleasurable . The skin is a human being's largest sensory organ, helping to distinguish between a pleasant contact, like a caress, and a negative sensation, like a pinch or a burn. Previous studies have shown that these sensations are carried to the brain by different types of sensory neurons that have nerve endings in the skin. Only a few of those neuron types have been identified, however, and most of those detect painful stimuli. Now biologists at the California Institute of Technology have identified in mice a specific class of skin sensory neurons that reacts to an apparently pleasurable stimulus. 'We've known a lot about the neurons that detect things that make us hurt or feel pain, but we've known much less about the identity of the neurons that make us feel good when they are stimulated,' said lead researcher David Anderson, Seymour Benzer Professor of Biology at Caltech. 'Generally it's a lot easier to study things that are painful because animals have evolved to become much more sensitive to things that hurt or are fearful than to things that feel good. 'Showing a positive influence of something on an animal model is not that easy.' The Caltech team did not set out to explain the pleasure of stroking. They were investigating a type of sensory cell discovered in 2007, the purpose of which had not yet been ascertained. To do this, the researchers bred genetically modified mice with fluorescent molecular markers attached to the neurons which lit up when the particular cells were activated. They also opened a tiny hole along the spine of the GM mice that they could peer through with a high-powered microscope to see when the cells lit up. 'We took advantage of the fact that these sensory neurons are bipolar in the sense that they send one branch into the skin that detects stimuli, and another branch into the spinal cord to relay the message detected in the skin to the brain,' Professor Anderson said. Painstaking: Researchers bred genetically modified mice with fluorescent markers that lit up when the neurons they were investigating were activated, then treated the animals to a range of different stimuli . Through a painstaking process of applying stimuli to one tiny area of the animal's body at a time, they found that these particular neurons lit up only when stroked. But the Caltech team could not be sure if the massage-like stimulus they were giving the mice was pleasurable to the mice in the way it would be to humans. 'As scientists we can't just assume that because something feels good to us, it has to also feel good to an animal,' said the professor. 'So we then had to design an experiment to show that artificially activating just these neurons — without actually stroking the mouse — felt good to the mouse.' To do this the researchers built a maze with left, right, and centre rooms which were different enough that a mouse could distinguish them through smell, sight, and touch. In the left room, the mouse received an injection of a drug that selectively activated the neurons shown to detect massage-like stroking. In the room on the right, the mouse received a control injection of saline. After a few sessions in each outer room, the animal was placed in the centre, with the doors open to see which room it preferred. It clearly favoured the room where the massage-sensitive neurons were activated. The findings: This graph shows the increases in fluorescence as a stroke stimulus was applied to the mice. The vertical yellow bars indicate the periods when the stimulus was applied . Professor Anderson said this was the first time anyone has used this type of conditioned place-preference experiment to show that activating certain neurons in the skin can actually make an animal feel good. He hopes his team's findings and the new methods they developed will allow researchers to trace the circuitry from those neurons up into the brain to ask why and how activating these neurons leads to pleasure. 'We are now most interested in how these neurons communicate to the brain through circuits,' he said. 'In other words, what part of the circuit in the brain is responsible for the good feeling that is apparently produced by activating these neurons? 'It may seem frivolous to be identifying massage neurons in a mouse, but it could be that some good might come out of this down the road.'
Social animals from humans to cats all seem to enjoy being stroked, but until now the neurobiology behind it had been a mystery . Caltech team genetically modify mice so certain neurons fluoresced when activated then stroked, poked and prodded them . They found a certain class that activated only in response to strokes and conducted a second experiment to determine it was indeed pleasurable .

By . Will Payne In The Bronx, New York . and Ryan Gorman . and Associated Press Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 08:35 EST, 1 December 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 06:05 EST, 2 December 2013 . The death toll in the New York Metro-North train crash could rise - with investigators looking for more bodies trapped under the wreckage. Heavy-lifting cranes are being brought in to move the carriages, strewn on the tracks in The Bronx, New York. Officials believe they have accounted for everyone on board and emergency services have searched the train thoroughly, but they cannot rule out the possibility that more dead bodies are buried. Three of the four confirmed dead -  two men and two women - were thrown from the train on impact and there are fears that could have happened to more passengers. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Almost in the water: The Hudson River can be seen in the background of the train, which stopped just short of the East River after derailing . Search and rescue: Firefighters scaled the sideways train cars with ladders as they searched for survivors . Horrible tragedy: Several dozen people have been removed from the crash by stretcher - those covered in yellow are deceased . Claims of innocence: Engineer William Rockefeller Jr, 46, seen here being loaded into an ambulance, has claimed he tried to apply the brakes but they didn't work . Glowing review: Rockefeller's father defended the engineer as a dependable professional who loves trains . Steve Morello, a spokesperson for . Metropolitan Transportation Administration (MTA), said: 'The police and . fire department have thoroughly searched the carriages, using a variety . of equipment and specially trained dogs. ‘They . went everywhere they could go in the search’, he said. ‘But there is no . passenger manifest on a train so it is impossible to be 100 per cent . certain everyone has been accounted for. 'A crane is being brought in, which should be here soon and will be able to lift the carriages. 'We will be on hand to assist in that operation.' Three . of the four people were killed when they were ejected from the . southbound train, the fourth fatality was discovered inside one of the . overturned train cars, officials said. Multiple witnesses have claimed . the train was going too fast. At . least 63 people were injured in the wreck, officials added. The injured . were rushed to four separate hospitals - 11 are critical, six are in . serious condition. One man has spinal cord injuries and broken bones, . the rest have suffered broken bones and lacerations, according to WABC. Investigators . from the National Transportation Safety Board have been on the scene . since 12.30pm and have recovered the train's black box, a spokesperson . said. The NTSB expects to be on the scene for over a week. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the train's recording device would help answer some questions about the underlying cause of the derailment. 'The black box will say what the speed was, whether the brakes were applied before the emergency brakes,' he told CBS. Look away: Emergency responders hold a white sheet over a victim . Solemn duty: A police officer stands guard over a body near the crash . A rescuer helps an injured woman leave after the Metro-North train derailed on route to Grand Central Station . The governor added that the accident 'would've been much, much worse if this had happened during the week.' The Grand Central Station-bound . Metro-North commuter train jumped the tracks near the Spuyten-Duyvil . Station just before 7.30am Sunday morning. All seven of the train cars . left the tracks, with two turning completely over and one stopping just . before the Harlem River. The . violent derailment sent people flying through the train cars - some . were even ejected from them - as windows smashed open, dirt and gravel . shot inside them and the seven car train was left scattered around the . tracks like a toy set. 'One . woman seemed like she had lost most of her head,' a survivor told the . Post. 'The side of the car was just covered in her blood.' '[The . dead woman] was flung out of the car,' she recalled. 'I used my yoga . mat to cover her body. I’m probably still not processing it.' 'It was just a bloodbath,' an FDNY rescuer told the New York Post. 'This is the worse accident scene I’ve ever worked, there was blood everywhere.' Family man: Writer James Lovell, 58, a married father of four, has been identified as one of the four victims of the derailment . This evening, information slowly began to trickle out about the four deceased victims - two men and two women. One of the victims has been identified as 58-year-old Jim Lovell, the husband of Philipstown Deputy Supervisor Nancy Montgomery and a father of four. Lovell and his wife lived in Cold Spring with their four children. Philipstown.info described Mr Lovell as a professional writer who was active in the Democratic Party. The other three victims have been . identified tonight as James Ferrari, 59, of Montrose; Donna Smith, 54, . of Newburgh, and 35-year-old Ahn Kisook, of Queens. NTSB . spokesperson Earl Weener said investigators expect to be on the scene . 'a week to 10 days' investigating the cause of the deadly crash. The agency has already green-lit the use of a crane to upright the overturned train cars, Mr Weener said, adding that turning the locomotive over would stop further fuel from spilling. It is not clear how much fuel has spilled. Waiting game: People and an empty electronic display for the Hudson line are seen in Grand Central Station after a Metro-North train derailment in the Bronx . Silver lining: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said that had the accident happened during the weekday, the death toll could have been higher . The investigators worked the site throughout the afternoon, but the investigation will begin Monday in earnest, Mr Weener explained, adding that speed is considered a factor. The NTSB will also look into Metro-North maintenance records after expressing earlier this year a concern over how well the train operator's equipment is maintained. Engineer William Rockefeller Jr, 46, has . claimed he tried to apply the brakes but they didn't work, according to . multiple reports. William Rockefeller Sr. defended his son to the Post, saying 'he’s one of the better engineers, the most dependable. And he really does like trains.' Four people were confirmed dead on the scene of the accident, officials said.They were all riding in the overturned cars. Three individuals were found dead outside the train, FDNY Commissioner Sal Cassano added. 'We believe that three of the four fatalities were thrown from the train,' Mr Cassano said. Metro North commuter trains do not have seat belts. All seven of the train cars and the locomotive jumped the . tracks just before the bend on the Hudson Line train, multiple cars are shown are their side, with one only inches . from the Harlem River's icy waters. 'It’s obviously a very tragic situation,' Governor Cuomo said, 'unfortunately there are four fatalities and 63 people are injured.’ Despite a train earlier this year derailing only feet from this incident, the governor dismissed the track itself being the problem. 'The curve has been here for many years, trains take the curve everyday… there has to be another factor.' President Barack Obama said in a statement issued by the White House that his thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of the victims of the derailment. According to the statement, the president was briefed on the accident Sunday morning. The White House added that Obama will continue to stay in touch with New York officials throughout the day. The train left Poughkeepsie at 5.54am and derailed at 7.22am, according to an MTA spokesperson. It was due to arrive at Grand Central at 7.30am. Hurt, but alive: Emergency personnel evacuate the train engineer from the scene . No worse for wear: Emergency personnel evacuate engineer William Rockefeller Jr. of a Metro-North train which derailed . Tossed around: Another one of the victims thrown around the out of control train cars is assisted by emergency personnel . Headed to the hospital: A man is taken away on a stretcher at the site of a Sunday morning Metro-North train derailment . Getting help: A woman is taken to an ambulance after surviving the Metro North train derailment . A 14-year old boy and his father, as well as five off-duty NYPD officers were among the 63 injured, according to WABC. One officer sustained broken ribs and a broken shoulder, among other injuries. The injured were taken to Jacobi Medical Center, St Barnabas Hospital and Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, as well as New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. Mr Rockefeller Jr. is among the injured and originally called 911 to report the crash, the governor said, adding he is listed in stable condition at a local hospital. He is married but has no . children, according to his father who had no idea his son was on the train . until the maligned operator's wife called to say he is okay. A train employees union official called the accident the 'worst thing' he's seen in his 38 years on the tracks told the Wall Street Journal. The train was being pushed by a diesel locomotive in the rear, there is some evidence to suggest fuel has spilled, but that has yet to be confirmed. Some of the survivors were rescued by firefighters using jacks and airbags to lift the train cars off of them, Mr Cassano said. Over 100 people were aboard the train. There were three conductors and an engineer among them - none of the dead are MTA employees, according to reports. Dozens of injuries: One of the 63 injured is seen being carried away on stretcher . Down, but not out: Lucky survivors of the train derailment appear to still be in shock over what happened . Briefing: MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast (left) and New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (center) speak to the media after a Metro-North train derailed . Between two rivers: The Hudson River is on the right and the Harlem River is on the left - the train derailed on a narrow peninsula between them . Officials do not expect to discover any more dead or injured, and all the wounded victims are expected to survive. Early . footage from the scene showed divers in the water and cadaver dogs in the brush . searching for bodies. At least 130 emergency responders arrived on the . scene, an official said. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was notably absent from the press conference. The MTA has said train service along the line is suspended indefinitely. A sea of help: About 130 emergency responders gathered at the scene of the crash . On the edge: The train stopped just before the Harlem River as dozens of passengers were thrown from the cars . Like toy cars: Train cars were scattered across the tracks and into the brush like toys .
Over 100 people were traveling aboard the Grand Central Terminal-bound train from Poughkeepsie, NY on Metro-North's Hudson Line . The engineer, a 20-year veteran of the commuter rail, claims he tried to apply the brakes - but they did not work . Three people were killed after being ejected from the train, which witnesses described as driving at a higher than normal rate of speed . Victims of crash are said to be two men and two women from Cold Spring, Montrose, Newburgh and Queens . Among the dead is James Lovell, 58, a married father of four . One woman described being flung six feet through the air onto a broken window and being dragged along the ground 'I just wanted it to stop' An NTSB spokesperson confirmed the train's black box has been recovered . A number of factors, including speed and Metro-North maintenance records, will be investigated . President Obama was briefed about derailment and offered his thoughts and prayers for victims and their families .

(CNN) -- The displacement, injury, and death of civilians in war is always tragic, and the current fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is no exception. But unlike the vast majority of conflicts in history, Operation Protective Edge, as Israel calls it, is one in which images of civilian suffering play a central—and potentially decisive—role in the outcome. And the reason is simple: More than a military strategy, Hamas has a media strategy. Calculatingly, Hamas employs primitive military tactics to mount a sophisticated media campaign that can threaten Israel's basic security. And in conducting that offensive, Hamas can count on one of the world's most powerful weapons: the international media. Hamas fires hundreds of rockets at Israeli cities and towns and tries to attack Israeli farms via the sea and through tunnels. Thanks to Israeli technology and vigilance, few of these actions have inflicted extensive damage. Still, they disrupt Israeli life, impair the economy, and leave cumulative psychological scars. As a sovereign nation, Israel must respond robustly to such attacks. And as a state committed to Jewish and democratic values, Israel provides water, humanitarian aid, and electricity to the residents of Gaza even as their government murders Israelis. Throughout, Israel strives tirelessly to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties. Yet in spite of the hundreds of thousands of leaflets Israel dropped, the countless text messages and personal phone calls it made warning Palestinian civilians to leave targeted areas, tragedies still occur. Israel deeply regrets these losses and continuously hones its operations to make them more surgical still. In a war with Hamas, though, Israel's strength and morality can become vulnerability and guilt. By investing nothing in air raid sirens and bomb shelters, by hiding deep beneath neighborhoods and shooting near hospitals and mosques, Hamas ensures that Israel will invariably wound and kill civilians. Hamas gunmen carry out attacks disguised as women and old men, fight from UN and Red Cross vehicles, store rockets in schools, and physically prevent Palestinian civilians from fleeing combat zones. This context, though, is rarely mentioned by the media when covering the civilian cost of the fighting. Unlike Israel, which respects the privacy and dignity of its fallen, Hamas has no difficulty in displaying these casualties to foreign cameras. And the media broadcasts them, obsessively. The sources of that obsession are many. They include genuine empathy for the Palestinians, objection to Israeli policies, and even animus toward the Jewish state. Still, many journalists would be appalled by the suggestion that they are aiding a terrorist group indistinguishable from ISIS and al-Qaeda. Most, rather, are just doing their job by providing their audiences with the most up-to-date pictures and stories. But whether visceral or professional, the correspondents' motives are, in fact, irrelevant to Hamas. It merely has to know that dozens of Palestinian victims of Israeli fire capture more headlines and airtime than tens of thousands of Syrian victims of Syrians or Iraqi victims of Iraqis. Hamas knows that the construction of a world-leading civil defense system in Israel, and the utter absence of one in Gaza, will ensure a growing gap between Israeli and Palestinian casualties. And that disparity, Hamas knows, will become the focus of media attention and accusations that Israel uses force disproportionally. Above all, Hamas knows that shocking images—some of them taken from the carnage in Syria and Iraq and even from Hollywood horror movies—inflame public opinion. Under mounting pressure, governments will endorse UN condemnations of Israel for war crimes. Hamas missiles cannot destroy Israel, but international sanctions can tie its hands from deflecting them. Unwittingly or not, the international media is complicit in Hamas's plan. While some may think they help the Palestinians by highlighting their plight, in reality, the journalists only worsen it. They effectively absolve Hamas of culpability for using Gaza's population as a human shield, of stealing its aid money to buy munitions and dig fortified tunnels with the sole purpose of killing Israelis, and of contributing nothing to Gaza's welfare. Who's who in Hamas . Israel, by contrast, is expected to apologize for protecting its citizens and for not suffering as many civilian losses as the Palestinians. Rather than depicting a complex reality in which both Israelis and Palestinians are victims of Hamas, the media prefers facile narratives of West versus East, colonialists versus natives, Goliath versus David. Yet the most helpful role that the media plays for Hamas—and the worst disservice for Palestinians—is in demoralizing Israelis. They are willing to pay a high operational price, even to endanger their own soldiers, to avoid hurting Palestinian civilians. Yet, in spite of these unprecedented efforts, the Jewish State is often depicted by the media as indiscriminate and callous. By calling them killers even when they take risks to save lives, the media discourages Israelis from showing restraint in the face of ceaseless Hamas attacks. And Hamas, which wants to drag Israel into a ground war in which even more civilians are killed, welcomes the media's role in convincing Israelis that image-wise they have nothing to lose by escalating. Former President Bill Clinton recently told Indian television that Hamas "has a strategy designed to force Israel to kill their own [Palestinian] civilians so that the rest of the world will condemn them." A crucial means through which Hamas accomplishes this is the international media. Just as Israel must relentlessly scrutinize its military actions in Gaza and their consequences, so, too, must journalists take a hard look at the way they cover this conflict. They must not allow themselves to act as accessories to Hamas's murderous strategy that delegitimizes Israel and prolongs the Palestinians' suffering. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Michael Oren.
Michael Oren: More than a military strategy, Hamas has a media strategy . He says that by exposing its own population to danger, it cultivates sympathy for its cause . Oren: As any sovereign state, Israel can't tolerate attacks on its territory . Media effectively absolves Hamas of responsibility for putting its own people at risk .

(CNN) -- Most of the wintry precipitation had moved on by Monday night, but much of the South is likely to see white stuff on the ground until the weekend as an Arctic low slides in, bringing low temperatures in the teens and highs barely out of the 20s. And a snow storm surging over the Plains and into the Ohio Valley promises to merge with the Southeast storm Tuesday night and slam into the Mid-Atlantic Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. The storm brought treacherous travel conditions across the Southeast Monday, with schools and government offices shut down from Arkansas to the Atlantic. Those conditions aren't expected to change overnight as temperatures remain below freezing, making morning commutes on Tuesday no better. In Atlanta, airlines canceled hundreds of flights Monday -- and plan to cancel more on Tuesday. AirTran spokesman Christopher White said the airline would begin operation "with a greatly reduced flight schedule" and warned that flights heading to the Northeast would likely be affected at least through Wednesday. Delta, which canceled almost a third of its flights across the country Monday, said it planned at least 1,400 cancellations on Tuesday. Spokesman Anthony Black said the airline was keeping a close eye on the Northeast for late Tuesday and early Wednesday. Both airlines were offering one-time flight changes with no fees for a limited period. And if air travel was limited, road travel was nearly non-existent. Impassable roads were the norm across the region, although that didn't keep everyone at home -- particularly truckers trying to keep their schedules. And some of those truckers caused some of the problems. Monday night in Atlanta, jackknifed tractor-trailers had blocked the east side of Interstate 285, which encircles the city, from Interstate 75 on the south to Interstate 85 on the northeast. Another had been stuck on fabled Peachtree Street in the city's Midtown district for hours. Georgia emergency officials warned people to stay off the roads if at all possible from central Georgia north. Atlanta police were dealing with so many accidents that the department announced it would only work accidents with injuries and provided an online form for drivers to report others. In Alabama, traffic accidents claimed two lives, one in Lowndes County and the other in Tuscaloosa County. Parts of the northern part of the state got 6 inches to 10 inches of snow, according to state Emergency Management spokeswoman Yasmie Richardson, and three-fourths of the state received snow or ice. Mississippi emergency officials reported a single fatal traffic accident on Sunday as sleet began moving into the state. No part of Carolinas was unaffected by the snows and ice, particularly the mountainous west where snowfalls of up to 18 inches were reported. North Carolina and South Carolina both expected freezing rain and sleet into Tuesday morning. The Tennessee Department of Transportation reported extremely hazardous conditions in the mountainous east, but ice and snow was also causing problems in other parts of the state. The governors of Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina declared states of emergency. Double-digit snow depths were reported Monday in the Tennessee towns of Minor Hill (13 inches) and Lawrenceburg (11 inches), and in Oxford, Mississippi (10 inches). Other areas reporting heavy accumulations were Greenville, North Carolina (9 inches), Asheville, North Carolina (7 inches), and Huntsville, Alabama (7 inches). Canton, Georgia, and Greenville, South Carolina, each reported 6 inches. Reported power outages were relatively few early Monday. About 2,300 homes in Louisiana and 4,000 in Mississippi lost power, according to authorities in those states, and power had been restored to most of them. Nearly 2,000 Georgia customers were out of power, according Georgia Electric Membership Corp, and Georgia Power reported 3,000 customers out. But the snow brought out some revelers, too. In Kennesaw, northwest of Atlanta, Sarah DeRoch's daughter Gwyneth was bursting with anticipation of a whole day to play in the snow. "She's been asking me every five minutes, 'Did they close the schools?'" DeRoch said. In tiny Pine Lake, east of Atlanta, the city closed its steepest street to vehicular traffic -- but left it open for sledding. It drew dozens of kids (and adults) for a slippery ride down the street, a long trudge back up -- to an open fire pit, s'mores and hot chocolate. Most Atlanta students also will be staying home Tuesday, as well, as the major school districts announced closings will stretch into another day, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The situation was much the same in other metro areas along the storm's route: Most school districts near Birmingham, Alabama; Greenville-Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Charlotte, North Carolina, will be closed Tuesday, local media reported Monday. As the storm pressed farther to the northeast Monday, New Jersey and Delaware went under winter storm warnings, while winter storm watches were in place in much of the Northeastern seaboard and New England. The National Weather Service predicted 5 inches to 8 inches in the Philadelphia area, 4 inches or more in northern New Jersey and 2 to 6 inches in southern Delaware from Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning. In the Southeast, the National Weather Service expected a high approaching 40 on Tuesday -- but the Arctic front currently bringing snow into the Midwest would sink into the south, without the precipitation but with frigid temperatures. While the snowstorm was a headache to drivers and businesses, it proved to be a help to police in one Georgia town. Officers investigating a pre-dawn burglary at a liquor store in Dalton, Georgia, simply followed a set of tracks in the otherwise undisturbed snow from the store to a nearby apartment complex. There, after knocking on the door where the footprints led, they found a pair of teenagers along with a backpack full of liquor bottles carrying stickers that matched bottles in the burglarized store. Two young men were arrested and charged with burglary and criminal destruction of property. CNN's Holly Yan, Andy Rose, Nick Valencia, Cameron Tankersley and Brian Walker contributed to this report.

Graeme Souness has insisted Rangers would be a stronger, healthier club if Brian Kennedy had won the keys to Ibrox. The former boss of the Govan club was involved in two separate power bids by the Sale Sharks owner — the most recent the offer of a last-ditch loan two weeks ago. Angered by the demise of the side he managed between 1986 and 1991, Souness is unable to disguise his contempt for Charles Green, despite a late-night attempt by the Yorkshireman to sign him up for his own takeover group in 2012. Former Rangers manager Graeme Souness believes the best man lost in battle for control of Rangers . Souness (2L) won a hat-trick of league titles during his spell as player-manager between 1986 - 1991 . ‘What is it? Two years since that p**** had it?’ said Souness. ‘The guy who knocked on my door one night asking me if I would get involved in it with him. Charles Green. ‘It was late one night about 11 o’clock, my answer was no. ‘I got a phonecall about an hour before that he was coming to see me. I had been asked to see him and I had refused. ‘We went for a cup of tea at a hotel around the corner. 'You’ve got me angry now…’ Brian Kennedy has failed with two power bids to take control of the former Scottish champions . A personal friend of Kennedy, Souness was keen to return to Ibrox with Walter Smith in the event of the Edinburgh-born businessman securing the assets in 2012. He was also on board when Cheshire-based Kennedy offered a £3million loan to the Rangers board as an alternative to MASH, Mike Ashley’s investment group. ‘I had a week with Brian in Majorca three weeks ago,’ Souness revealed. ‘But if it’s not to be, it’s not to be. ‘When we met we never went into detail because, the last time, we believed we had it. Brian believed he had it - only to be let down and deeply disappointed. We even came up to watch a Rangers and Celtic game because we believed we had it. ‘I think this time around he was always thinking the worst. ‘Given the structure the way it is now, I would think that’s it finished. ‘I don’t know how Brian feels right now but I think his attitude to it has changed now the other folk are involved.’ Souness is incensed by the ongoing financial turmoil still surrounding the once great club . Rangers fans protest outside the stadium following the Scottish Cup quarter-final against St Johnstone . Asked how he feels about the ongoing financial turmoil at the club, Souness claims anger barely covers it. ‘That’s not the correct word. I’m angry about it and saddened by it in equal amounts because a lot has been allowed to happen. ‘I don’t want to get into being involved in a libel case. ‘All I would say is that if we had got it, the people there would have had the club for the right reasons.’ Asked for his views on Newcastle United owner Ashley’s tightening grip on the club following the appointment of henchmen Derek Llambias and Barry Leach to the board, Souness said: ‘I don’t want to end up in court. Rangers players congratulate Kris Boyd on his winning goal in the Scottish Cup . Manager Ally McCoist has been forced to take care of the team under increasingly challenging circumstances . ‘I wouldn’t be critical of Mike Ashley. He is a fantastic businessman who saw an opportunity at Newcastle and it’s very hard to be critical, having worked there myself. ‘I think he has done the right thing there. ‘He has stuck with his manager and it looks like he is getting the rewards of that. That’s what it needed. ‘It needs a strong owner and that’s what he is. Someone who has been supremely successful in anything he has touched. ‘I think in terms of Newcastle supporters, they should be counting their blessings rather than being critical. ‘Now if he came to Rangers and was to plough a shedload of money in there, everyone would be happy - but I don’t see that happening.’ Souness would not comment on Newcastle owner Mike Ashley's bid to take control of the club . Ashley has appointed former Newcastle director Derek Llambias (C) on the board at Ibrox . As a result of the Rangers meltdown and the subsequent fall-out Souness – who enjoyed huge resources as manager - fears Scottish football has fallen off a financial cliff and may not recover. ‘All I would say is that all the people who enjoyed their demise, if they had their time again, would they have voted the same way? ‘Celtic getting gates of less than 20,000? I think it has damaged football, hopefully not beyond repair. ‘Football goes in cycles. Over a 10-year period, they say if you lose a support, it’s very hard to get that back. ‘I don’t know if it will get back. ‘Rangers will get back to the SPL, the Old Firm games will be enormous affairs again and the passion will remain the same. ‘But will it ever get back to where it was six or seven years ago? I very much doubt it.’

MIAMI BEACH, Florida (CNN) -- On the grainy, silent black and white video, it's hard to tell exactly what happened the night of June 14 in Miami Beach. But one thing is certain: A tourist, Husien Shehada, can be seen falling to the ground, shot by a police officer. Shehada, 29, later died. Husien Shehada, at left with his brother, Samer, was shot dead by Miami Beach police on June 14. Four nights later, again in Miami Beach, Lawrence McCoy allegedly pistol-whipped a cab driver and led police on a chase. Police say shots were exchanged. McCoy, also 29, was killed. Officer Adam Tavss, a 34-year-old former history teacher with three years on the force, was involved in both police shootings, the first in Miami Beach since 2003. Although it is not yet clear whether Tavss fired one of the shots that killed McCoy, questions are being raised as to whether the officer was cleared for patrol duty too soon after the first shooting. Police and the Miami-Dade County state attorney's office are investigating the shootings. The inquiry is expected to last several more months. All the records and reports have been sealed. Watch surveillance video of the first shooting » . The families of Shehada and McCoy are asking the Justice Department to investigate. Tavss, who is now assigned to desk duty, declined through his attorney to speak with CNN, citing the ongoing investigation. Miami Beach Police Chief Carlos Noriega has defended both shootings. "It is important to note that the subjects in both cases had exhibited aggressive, violent, non-compliant and criminal behavior," the chief said in a statement to the media. Noriega added that officers "are required to make split-second decisions based on a variety of factors and cannot afford to hesitate or be wrong." The Miami Beach department's standard operating procedure for use of force, a copy of which was obtained by CNN, states that any officer involved in a fatal shooting must be assigned to administrative duties for at least 72 hours. The department also mandates psychological support. Tavss was removed from duty for 72 hours, evaluated and then cleared by Noriega to return to patrol, which is departmental policy. On his first day back out on the street, Tavss was involved in the second shooting. Each of the nation's 20,000 police departments sets its own policy for police involved in shootings and fatalities. Some departments keep the officers off the streets for a week or longer. In virtually all cases, psychological evaluation and counseling are mandatory. Watch CNN's report on the shootings » . Maria Haberfeld, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York and an expert on police use of force and stress management, said she had never heard of an officer being involved in two shootings within four days. "I think it's a gross error of judgment for any police department to maintain a rule that allows an officer who was involved in a fatal shooting to be back on the streets four days after the incident," Haberfeld said. A study by the Justice Department's National Institute of Justice found that officers involved in fatal shootings can be affected for months afterward. "In the days, weeks and months that follow a shooting, officers may suffer adverse reactions such as sleep interruption, anxiety and depression," a report on the study said. Officers "experienced a range of psychological, emotional and physiological reactions that distorted time, distance, sight and sound," the study concluded. In some cases, the study found, officers could not recall firing their weapons. But even experts are undecided on just how much time off the street is enough, because every incident and every police officer is different. "It's hard for me to estimate whether it's weeks or a little bit more, but certainly not days; certainly not hours. It's just too irresponsible toward the officer and toward the society the officer needs to serve," Haberfeld said. Police officers across the country train on how to make difficult split-second decisions on the use of deadly force. The sheriff in neighboring Broward County uses an interactive video screen that places officers into scenarios they might face while on patrol. "In less than half a second, your pulse may go from 60 to 160, 170, and your heart's beating out of your chest, and you have to make a split-second decision," Broward Sheriff's Sgt. Bill Pennypacker said. Witnesses, police and surveillance video obtained by CNN provide the following, sometimes conflicting, accounts of what happened during the two Miami Beach shootings: . Husien Shehada and his brother, Samer, had come from Virginia to spend a long weekend with their girlfriends in Miami Beach. Early on Sunday, June 14, they got into a scuffle with another group of men, who intervened after Samer Shehada allegedly assaulted his girlfriend. Investigators said they believe that the two brothers were looking for revenge against those men when somebody called 911, reporting that two men were walking down the street and that one of them might be carrying a machine gun. The callers said they could see the outline of a large gun underneath his white shirt, and he was carrying it in his left hand. In a color security camera tape released by the Miami Beach Police Department, it appears that one of the brothers was carrying something under his shirt, holding it with his left hand. Tavss and other officers approached the brothers in front of Twist, a popular South Beach nightclub. A grainy black and white videotape shows the brothers together and Husien Shehada falling to the ground. A police officer can then be seen approaching. Samer Shehada said he and his brother were cooperating. "His hands were up for a good two seconds, three seconds," Samer Shehada said. "He wasn't in the process of raising his hands. His hands were up." One witness told CNN that when Tavss approached the brothers with his gun drawn, the brothers were belligerent. The witness, Derek Reynolds, was working security at the club that night. He said the two men cursed at police and wouldn't put their hands up. "It got intense. ... They weren't cooperating," he said. "One guy reached behind him, and he got shot." Law enforcement sources say a coat hanger and a bottle were found at the scene, but no gun was found. Samer Shehada said that neither he nor his brother was carrying a coat hanger, much less a gun. After the shooting, Tavss was relieved of duty for 72 hours, per department policy. When he returned to street patrol, he was one of several officers who responded to a 911 call reporting that that a taxi driver had been pistol-whipped and his cab stolen. Police confronted Lawrence McCoy on a Miami Beach causeway. According to police, McCoy ran and fired at the officers. McCoy was shot dead by police. It is not yet known whether Tavss fired any shots. John Contini, an attorney representing the families of both men shot by police, said McCoy was shot nine to 11 times. No weapon was found on McCoy. Police found a gun several days later in Biscayne Bay, but they say they don't know if it belonged to McCoy. Lawrence McCoy Sr. said his son's civil rights were violated. "Michael Vick was convicted and put in jail for two years for killing dogs -- for killing dogs. I want justice for my son," he said. Contini said Tavss should be in jail. He also questioned the policy that allowed him back on the street so quickly. "In fairness to the officer, you don't put him on the street, with a gun and a badge, to be in this situation without allowing for a period of decompression -- for the officer's sake, to get some help," Contini said.

Enchanted: An perfectly, or terribly, placed animated promo turned Sunday's Once Upon a Time into something not to family friendly . Sunday night’s episode of Once Upon a Time gave an unexpected viral advertising boost after an animated promo jumped right into a star’s crotch. As Ginnifer Goodwin’s character Snow White appeared onscreen, an animated rabbit jumps out to advertise ABC’s upcoming Once Upon A Time In Wonderland. ‘You're searching for something powerful enough to vanquish the queen,’ Snow White said, just as the enchanted promo created a perfectly placed magic rabbit hole and disappeared into her pelvis. Instagram user russfrushtick posted a short video of the hilarious moment and the perfectly timed accident has gone viral. While inadvertent, the marketing boost comes at a welcome time for the new show, which debuts Thursday at 8pm. The creators of both Once Upon a Time and its spin off responded to the hilarious gaffe with fitting humor. ‘I never thought I would have so many emails about Ginny’s vagina,’ showrunner Edward Kitsis told Entertainment Weekly. ‘It’s embarrassing, but at the same time, it’s so silly it’s hard to . take serious. It’s so obvious that somebody didn’t realize what they . were doing.’ Bad timing? As Snow White, played by Ginnifer Goodwin spoke, a white rabbit advertising the show's new spinoff series put an enchanted rabbit hole directly onto her crotch . The rabbit was promoting Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, a spinoff about Alice and the gang, and the gaffe has gone viral . Kitsis’s partner Adam Horowitz agreed. ‘We’re grateful ABC is spending so much time promoting both shows, but it was an interesting cross-promotion,’ Horowitz joked. Even the woman at the center of the newly dubbed ‘magic crotch’ promo was able to have fun with it. ‘Dear @EW, it's just a @OnceABC + @WonderlandOUAT crotchover!’ tweeted Goodwin, ‘And I'm not viral.’

Big-time boxing will make a welcome return to terrestrial television when ITV broadcast Carl Frampton’s defence of his world title in Belfast on February 28. The hard old game has been striving for a way to reclaim its huge free-to-air box office appeal for five years. There has been a strong feeling that a powerful renaissance of the sport has been failing to capitalise on the massive cross-over audience available on terrestrial network television. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Carl Frampton: ITV coverage is huge for me and for boxing . Carl Frampton will defend his world super bantamweight title live on ITV on February 28 . Frampton will take on mandatory challenger Chris Avalos at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast . Ali vs Frazier (BBC, 1971) Over 27million watched the unbeaten Muhammad Ali surrender his record after 15 rounds with Joe Frazier. McGuigan vs Pedroza (BBC, 1985) Barry McGuigan’s defeat of reigning WBA featherweight champion Eusebio Pedroza drew 18m viewers. Benn vs Eubank (ITV, 1993) After Chris Eubank beat Nigel Benn three years earlier, 16.3m watched the rematch end in a draw. ITV are answering that call by screening Frampton’s IBF super bantamweight championship battle with mandatory challenger Chris Avalos at what will be a wildly atmospheric Odyssey Arena in Belfast. The Northern Irishman’s legendary mentor, manager and promoter Barry McGuigan said when making the ITV announcement: ‘This is as crucial for boxing as it is important for Carl. ‘This is a great showcase for Carl to show the whole of Britain and much of the world what an exciting fighter he is. But on top of that our sport has been needing major exposure on terrestrial television.’ This will be the first world championship fight on one of the major networks since Carl Froch beat Jean Pascal for the super middleweight title seven years ago. Frampton beat Kiko Martinez in Belfast in September to win the IBF super bantamweight title . Frampton's mentor and manager Barry McGuigan said that this is crucial for boxing and important for Carl . The last live terrestrial broadcast featured Amir Khan’s non-title bout against Paulie Malignaggi in New York in 2010. ITV executive Niall Sloane said: ‘This is a first step back into boxing for us and it is very exciting. It used to be that fighters were built up on terrestrial television before going on to pay-per-view with the likes of Sky. ‘But lately the wider public have been deprived of the chance of seeing brilliant youngsters like Carl.’ Carl Froch's victory over Jean Pascal in December 2008 was the last world title bout on terrestrial TV . Amir Khan beat Paulie Malignaggi at Madison Square Garden in New York in May 2010 live on ITV . ITV’s re-entry into the prize ring may push back plans for a title-unifying Battle of Britain between Frampton and Scott Quigg, who is committed to Sky through his promoter Eddie Hearn. However, assuming he sees off Avalos as expected, Frampton will be looking first at other huge multi-belt duels with Leo Santa Cruz and Guillermo Rigondeaux, the brilliant Cuban who is generally regarded as the Floyd Mayweather of the super bantamweight division. For a fight against Rigondeaux, for example, it is not inconceivable that McGuigan, now as shrewd in his negotiating as he was when a world champion in his own right, can pull together a multi-channel deal like those being discussed by US networks HBO and Showtime for Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao. The undercard in Belfast will be aired on ITV4, followed by Frampton v Avalos on the main ITV channel.

Buenos Aires, Argentina (CNN) -- Authorities in Argentina's capital are searching for at least three people who allegedly broke into a bank through an underground tunnel, state media reported. Investigators believe the thieves entered the bank through a 30-meter (98-foot) tunnel -- replete with rugs, lighting and ventilation, the state-run Telam news agency said. "It was truly impressive," prosecutor Martin Niklison told Telam. Authorities traced the tunnel to a rented business space on the same block in Buenos Aires where the bank is located. It was rented in July, Niklison said, according to Telam.

By . Gavin Allen . UPDATED: . 07:53 EST, 20 December 2011 . A mentally disabled man was allegedly chained up in a basement by a convicted killer who stole his benefit cheques, the first victim testimony in the Philadelphia 'House of Horrors' case has revealed. Edwin Sanabria, 31, was one of four adults found locked in the squalid basement in October. Police said he and his fellow victims had the mental capacity of 10-year-olds. He bore scars on his back and chest. Linda Ann Weston, 51, is accused of being the ringleader of a gang that, over 10 years, kept as many as 50 adults and children in the same kind of conditions in order to 'steal' their government benefit cheques. Emaciated victims: (L-R) Tamara Breeden, Derwin McLemire and Herbert Knowles gave a TV interview after being rescued from the basement . Horror chamber: The dark and filthy basement where four disabled people were kept chained to pipes . Stairs to basement: Weston's daughter Jean McIntosh, 32, lived in a property above the boiler room where the victims were found . Weston's daughter Jean McIntosh, 32, . boyfriend Gregory Thomas, 47, and friend Eddie 'the Reverend Ed' Wright, . 50, have also been charged in the case. There were gasps as hospital . photographs of Mr Sanabria's injuries were shown in court, along with . images of the injuries to his girlfriend Tamara Breeden, and their . fellow victims Drwin McLemire and Herbert Knowles.  The victims have the mental capacity of 10-year-olds, authorities have said. Emaciated Breeden's hip bone was . protruding through her skin, she had a badly damaged ear and dozens of . welts, bruises and lacerations on her scalp, legs, arms and back. Drwin McLemire had several open, . infected wounds on his legs. Knowles, who was found chained to a boiler, . had a lump on his forehead. Weston is accused of running the . benefit-fraud scheme in several states from 2002 until her arrest in . October, after a landlord stumbled on the captives. Mr Sanabria testified that Weston . took him to a government office in 2001 to sign paperwork and that he . never again saw his monthly $674 cheques, or his food stamp card. 'Ringleader': Linda Ann Weston, 51, left, is one of four suspects . charged with detaining four mentally disabled people. Her daughter Jean . McIntosh, 32, right, lived above the basement where the victims were found . Charged: Gregory Thomas (left) and Eddie Wright (right) have also been charged in the 'House of Horrors' case . Prosecutors suspect Weston had . perhaps dozens of adult and child victims, including her 19-year-old . niece. She was in possession of more than 50 Social Security cards, . power of attorney documents and similar forms when she was arrested. At the preliminary hearing, Mr . Sanabria testified that the victims had been kept in the Philadelphia . basement for 10 days, using a bucket for a bathroom and being fed just . once or twice a day. Weston's daughter had an apartment upstairs. Police officer John Murphy testified . that when he entered the basement, 'The stench in the room and on their . person was unbearable.' Asked to describe the smell further, he said, 'Basically, death.' Mr Sanabria said that he, along with . the other victims, moved with Weston's gang between Philadelphia and . Texas, Florida and Virginia over the past decade. However, Weston's lawyer told the court that the group - the victims and the accused - were 'a family'.

'Everybody moved as if you were a family, right?' said Weston's lawyer, George S. Yacoubian Jr. 'Right,' said Mr Sanabria. 'At any point during the last 10 years when you were living with Linda, did you ever scream for help?' asked Mr Yacoubian Jr. 'No,' Mr Sanabria replied. But Mr Sanabria also said he was not . allowed to go outside without permission and was typically kept in a . locked basement, attic or wardrobe. Mr Sanabria testified that Weston, . Thomas and, less often, Wright beat some of the victims with bare hands . or weapons that included bats, chains and extension cords. Mr Sanabria said that he, too, had frequently beat Breeden and McLemire when Weston told him to. Mr Sanabria, who also testified he . was once kept in a wardrobe that was nailed shut by Weston, is now . recovering well, according to his brother. In the last few days prosecutors . added a list of new charges to the case with counts against Weston . including promoting prostitution and custody interference. The existing charges include kidnapping, . aggravated assault, custodial interference, theft by deception and . neglect of a care-dependent person. The suspects, all from Philadelphia, remain in custody. They haven't yet entered pleas. Weston is a convicted killer.

By . David Martosko, U.s. Political Editor . Less than a day after former IRS official Lois Lerner was found in criminal contempt of Congress, her old agency has agreed to turn over copies of all her emails and other correspondence to one of the Republican-led House committees investigating the scandal that led to her retirement. The agency's quick concession came after Wednesday night's 231-178 contempt vote, which closely followed the passage of a second resolution demanding the appointment of a nonpartisan 'special counsel' at the Department of Justice. Lerner has twice refused to answer questions in congressional hearings after lawmakers issued a subpoena for her appearance. 'This is ALL Lerner documents,' a House Ways and Means Committee official confirmed to MailOnline. All stick, no carrot: House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp warned the IRS he would start firing off subpoenas if it didn't cough up every Lois Lerner-related document it had . Angry tea partiers have rallied at IRS headquarters in Washington with stern warnings about what would happen if the agency doesn't 'produce all the documents'; 'Appeal to Heaven' was a Revolutionary War slogan . Lois Lerner, the former IRS Director of Exempt Organizations, angered Republicans during a 2013 House hearing by offering a self-serving opening statement about her role in the tea party targeting scandal, and then refusing to answer members' questions . 'While it . is good that we are finally getting these emails, it should never have . taken this long,' committee chairman Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican, . said Thursday in a statement. 'The agency is finally doing what is right and . hopefully this is the last of the delays.' 'It . is almost a year to the day since Lois Lerner "apologized" for the . IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and we need to get to the bottom . of this.' Lerner is accused of executing a plan to . hamstring right-leaning nonprofit groups by slow-walking their . applications for tax-exempt status. She ran the Exempt Organizations section of the IRS until her retirement in late 2013. Ways and Means referred her case to the Justice Department for prosecution on April 9, charging that she 'used her position to improperly influence agency action against only conservative organizations, denying these groups due process and equal protection rights under the law.' If she were convicted, Lerner would face a possible 1-year jail term and a fine of up to $100,000. While the politically lopsided scheme was underway, hundreds of tea-party and other like-minded groups were delayed for three years or more, beginning in the run-up to the 2010 midterm congressional elections. Liberal groups, meanwhile, were generally green-lighted quickly. The full House of Representatives voted Wednesday evening to hold Lois Lerner in criminal contempt, in a move led by House Oversight chairman Darrell Issa (C) Conservative activists have urged right-leaning members of Congress to find out who gave the order to target their organizations based on their political beliefs . 'The fish stinks from the head': Tea party activists told MailOnline in 2013 that they blame President Barack Obama for whatever level of corruption is uncovered at the IRS . Camp's Ways and Means Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have been probing whether the politically calibrated targeting was ordered from inside the White House. They have already established that the cases of some groups denied tax exemptions were managed in Washington, not in the Cincinnati office where Lerner's subagency was based. Camp warned the IRS in a February 24 letter that he would start issuing subpoenas if the agency didn't turn over the documents he wanted. Weeks later the agency promised it would start delivering – but Thursday's decision covers more Lerner-related documents than Congress has seen to date. Meanwhile, the IRS has proposed a rewrite of its regulations governing communications restrictions on 'public benefit' organizations, like many tea party groups, which are exempt from paying federal income taxes. Republicans have complained that the move merely seeks to cement in regulations what the Obama administration was allegedly doing outside public view.
It's been nearly a year since Congress began investigating allegations that the IRS played political favorites when it vetted nonprofit groups . Lois Lerner led the agency's Exempt Organizations division, in charge of determining which groups could have a license to pay no income tax . The House found her in criminal contempt on Thursday because she twice refused to answer questions while under subpoena . A separate resolution asks the Department of Justice to appoint a nonpartisan 'special counsel' to investigate . The IRS agreed in March to hand over a large chunk of material, but it finally conceding the last of Lerner's emails .

San Diego (CNN) -- Eulalia Barrientos spent the last four months in a detention cell in New Jersey. After being apprehended by agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement in June, the illegal immigrant was just steps away from being deported back to her native Guatemala. Then, this week, suddenly, the cell doors swung open, and the married mother of two U.S.-born children was sent home to her family. Barrientos has been granted a one-year stay of removal; after the year, she'll have to go before an immigration judge and plead her case as to why she should be given a green card and allowed to remain in the United States permanently. There's no explanation for what melted ICE. After all, this isn't a touchy-feely agency. All ICE officials will say is that this was a result of "prosecutorial discretion." But that doesn't explain why an agency that, for weeks, didn't return the calls of Barrientos' lawyer, Bryan Johnson, suddenly became much more accommodating. It might have something to do with the call I made this week to an ICE representative to ask about the case or the story that the Spanish-language television network NBC-Telemundo did on Barrientos or the fact that New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez took an interest in the fate of a woman who has resided in Newark for nearly 20 years or the fact that, according to Johnson, there may even be a congressional inquiry into whether Barrientos should have been taken into custody in the first place. Whatever the reason, it had probably had nothing to do with the facts of the case or the letter of the law. Barrientos didn't have either on her side. She and her husband, Jose DeLeon, came to the United States illegally in the early 1990s. In 1998, they were discovered and ordered deported, but they defied the removal order and continued living in the United States because she had just given birth to their first daughter. Several months ago, on the bad advice of another lawyer, the couple went to check on the progress of their green card application and again came to the attention of federal authorities. On June 2, ICE raided the family home and arrested Barrientos in front of her two daughters -- ages 12 and 14 -- while her husband was at work. Authorities haven't arrested the husband, because he's the only parent left at home to care for the children, who are U.S. citizens. Barrientos was slated for deportation. All that stood between her and a one-way flight to Managua was some media interest and political pressure. Oh, and a memo. The "Morton memo" is a June 17 in-house memorandum (PDF) from ICE Director John Morton to all field office directors, field agents and chief counsel. In the document, Morton advised the bureaucrats that they "may" exercise discretion and show leniency toward some illegal immigrants by weighing certain factors. They include the length of time the person has lived in the United States, whether the person was brought as a child, whether the person is pursuing an education, whether the person has a criminal record, whether the person or immediate relative served in the U.S. military, whether the person has a spouse, child or parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and other circumstances. When he heard about the memo, Johnson decided to play that card. "Two days after the Morton memo came out, I sent immigration officials at the local ICE field office a copy of it in along with a statement explaining all the factors," Johnson told me. "And I asked them: 'So did you change your policy? ... So can she be released, right?' And they said: 'No, we can't do that.' " In the past few months, I've heard from about a dozen immigration attorneys who have likewise tried to use the Morton memo to spring clients and likewise struck out. As illogical as it sounds, ICE field agents whose job it is to apprehend folks who break the rules for entering the United States seem to be themselves breaking a set of rules laid out by their supervisor. I have three theories as to what's going on here: The memorandum was written by Morton, or people above him, in a deliberately vague manner to allow local agents to skirt it and continue to rack up deportations; there is massive insubordination within ICE at the local level; or this was a political stunt intended to con Latinos into thinking the Obama administration is being more compassionate and lenient in deportations when really nothing has changed. I asked Johnson which theory he thought was at work here. All three, he said. "I think it's a political stunt intended to fool Latinos into voting for this administration," Johnson said. "The whole thing is a farce, at least at the local enforcement level." In less than three years, the administration, eager to show that it is enforcing the immigration laws, has deported more than 1 million people. And just this week, in a speech at American University, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano bragged that her department is poised to set another record for deportations in the just-concluded 2011 fiscal year. Write this down: The Morton memo isn't worth the paper it's written on. Latinos shouldn't be fooled into thinking otherwise, and neither should anyone else. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Ruben Navarrette Jr.
An illegal immigrant mother threatened with deportation was released . Ruben Navarrette says her lawyer cited new administration memo on her behalf . He says the memo isn't being enforced and may be a ploy to get Latino votes . Administration has deported more than a million people since Obama took office .

By . Mark Prigg . Google is rating Internet service providers' video streaming quality on a new website, the latest development in the fight between broadband providers and content companies over who is to blame for slow streaming speeds. A link to the website appears when videos on Google's streaming service, YouTube, are slow to buffer. The website quietly launched in May, but recently drew growing publicity. Google shows users how their ISP is doing - and which one can offer faster speeds . Google rates the Internet service providers based on how quickly billions of hours of YouTube videos watched every month load over 30 days and divides those results by provider and location to determine the quality of performance viewers get 90 percent of the time, the company said. 'There are many factors that influence your video streaming quality, including your choice of Internet Service Provider (ISP). Learn how your ISP performs and understand your options,' the website reads. Google rates the Internet service providers based on how quickly billions of hours of YouTube videos watched every month load over 30 days and divides those results by provider and location to determine the quality of performance viewers get 90 percent of the time, the company said. The website is intended to inform customers who want to view video in high-definition how best to do it, Matt McLernon, a YouTube spokesman said. 'We are just basically providing information, not trying to tell people to change their behavior or do anything different,' said McLernon. Customers can compare the performance of various Internet service providers in their area through the website. Google is not the first content company to send messages directly to consumers about their Internet service providers. The firm says it wants to warn consumers of the problem . In June, Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) sent its customers messages that Verizon Inc (VZ.N) and other Internet providers were to blame for slow speeds. Last month, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission announced it would investigate agreements between Internet service providers and content companies to determine whether they are causing slow speeds. Under the plans for priority usage, Netflix and other video providers would pay extra to use fast lanes to get the maximum amount of bandwith to its customers, and maintain and improve streaming quality and reliability. This is being heavily criticised by net neutrality campaigners. At the heart of net neutrality is an open internet in which all data being sent from websites to customers is treated the same, regardless of size or destination. All this traffic is given the same priority along the same lanes and no site is given preferential treatment. Although it seems like a fair model, in which sites that use the most bandwith pay the most money, campaigners claim it will drastically impact on industry competition. For example, Netflix has the money to pay for better service, using the fast lanes, while smaller companies don't. This means smaller companies may have the same range of content, but because they can't stream at the same quality, they are effectively priced out of the market. To address these claims, the new rules include a 'competition test'. ISPs would need to decide if a website meets the critieria to be given priority access and that this bar must be set high enough to protect competition. Netflix has been calling on the FCC to do away with fees content companies pay to Internet service providers for smooth delivery of their services to consumers. The FCC is expected to consider that idea as it seeks public comment on recently proposed Internet traffic, or 'net neutrality,' rules that suggest content companies should be allowed to strike 'commercially reasonable' deals with broadband providers to give priority to their traffic.

A microchip led vets to a report showing the dog had first been reported missing two years ago and that her owner had died a couple of months ago. Overboard: Baby the dog with her new owner Kathy Klein, who adopted her after the dog was found two miles out to sea . Mystery: The dog was wearing a collar with the name Baby on it and had been microchipped . Baby, who appeared groomed and well-cared for, was spotted by the crew of a commercial fishing vessel, who could just make her out in the water. 'On the horizon they could see just her . nose sticking out of the water,' Anthony Basile, a resident who temporarily took the dog in after the crew returned her to Demens Landing. I put towels on her. Warm towels on her, put the heat on in the boat. She shook for ten hours straight,' he told the Tampa Bay Times. It is thought Baby could have been in the sea, which was 68F, for up to eight hours. 'We're assuming she fell overboard at night and nobody even knew it,' Suzy Johnson, who helped look after the dog, said. When she was found in the water, the dog had a red collar with diamante studs spelling out the name Baby. Rescue: Anthony Basile nursed Baby back to health after the fishermen who found her brought the dog ashore . Bond: After being rescued by Anthony, the dog refused to let him out of her sight . Caring: Anthony with Baby on his boat in Demens Landing. The dog shook for about ten hours after being saved from the sea . When Banfield Pet Hospital scanned her . microchip, staff discovered she had been listed as missing two years ago. They also found three phone numbers including one that led them to a man in Virginia . who said Baby had belonged to his sister, Charlene Knotts, who died aged 40, two months ago. The man said he . believed his sister's roommate had been caring for Baby, and didn't know . how she could have ended up in the sea, Fox 13 reported. 'Baby was her little lap dog. She fed Baby off her fork and they had quite the relationship,' Deborah Clements, who had lived with Ms Knotts said. The dog was being cared for by a third roommate who found a new home for Baby on Craigslist, but after a couple of days the dog ran away in December. When she was found on January 2, Mr Basile took her in and Baby bonded with him immediately. He had been on his way to the marina office to pay his rent when the fisherman who found her stopped him. After managing to coax her out of the crawl space she was hiding in on their boat, Baby refused to let Mr Basile out of her sight. 'I can't take a step off the boat and she'll start screaming and yelling. I walk with her; she stays right by my side,' he told WFLA. 'I don't know how she made it through this. It's truly not possible. But she did it, somehow. She was out two miles,' he said. New start: Kathy Klein and her husband Larry have adopted the dog and renamed her Gracie . Forever home: The dog has found a new family after being rescued from the sea . Unfortunately he wasn't able to offer Baby a home permanently, but a Florida couple who heard about her story and had offered to help have now adopted her. 'Initially, I wanted to just go meet the . people that were so kind to rescue her,' Kathy Klein said. 'I went and got . a dog bed and a blanket and a dog coat because I knew it was going to . get cold.' But as she helped nurse Baby back to health, and trimmed the knots out of her bedraggled fur, Mrs Klein fell in love with the dog. As well as offering Baby a new home, Mrs Klein has also given her a new name - Gracie - because 'purely by the grace of God did she survive all of this'.

More than £10million has been spent settling compensation claims in schools, including £600 after a child was hit by a piece of apple. The legal action was one of thousands taken out by pupils and staff against their schools in England and Wales in the last three years. Somerset County Council has so far racked up £575 in legal fees fighting the case after the pupil who was hit by the apple in March 2010 sued. Compensation culture: Millions of pounds have been spent by schools setlling claims made by pupils and teachers . Other payments included one student who was handed £7,800 after falling off their own skateboard, £8,000 to a member of staff who was hit with a ball, and £55,000 for a primary school child who bumped his head. In one Middlesex primary school a pupil received £50 after falling out of a tree. Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show schools are even paying out pupils who become embroiled in playground fights. In Pembrokeshire one student was handed £1,925 following a fight, while at Central Foundation Girls' school in Bow, London, another was paid £43. Despite the huge sums of money spent on the cases most were found to be baseless when investigated. And now critics have slammed the . 'ridiculous' compensation culture in schools, saying it harms children's . education because teachers are wrapping kids up in cotton wool to avoid . payouts. Chairman of Campaign for Real Education Chris . McGovern said: 'There . is a compensation culture in schools. 'While there is negligence, and . schools need to ensure children are in a safe environment, they should . be able to exercise a degree of common sense. 'The . courts should protect schools from spurious claims, because too often . the claims are against events which are a normal part of the rough and . tumble of everyday life. 'The . problem is that schools are now spending a lot of time worried that . they might be sued and so they're wrapping children in cotton wool. 'The . real price is not just financial. The real price is that these children . are losing what we would consider to be a "normal" childhood because . it's a risk-averse childhood wrapped in cotton wool so children don't . take any risks. 'That's no preparation for adult life. Schools . are obsessed by the need to ensure that there are no claims and . therefore children are missing out on the adventure and magic and . childhood.' Chief Executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance Matthew Sinclair, said: 'Our . worrying schoolyard compensation culture is not only a burden on . taxpayers but is also undermining children's time in the classroom. 'Some of these incidents range from the sublime to the ridiculous, with many either nobody's fault or easily avoidable. 'Every penny spent on payouts for a bump or thrown apple means less cash for textbooks and sports equipment.' A Department for Education spokesperson said: 'Compensation payments are agreed on a case by case basis and the department has no role in the process.' Topping the list of local authorities that have had to fork out the most cash was Sheffield City Council, which racked up a bill of  £1,148,186 settling claims. Worried: Chief executive of the TaxPayers Alliance, Matthew Sinclair (right), said every penny spent on compensation was one less spent in the classroom. Left, a model plays hopscotch . A huge £2,430.604,62 was claimed on behalf of primary school children, £2,363,275.55 from secondary school children and £5,550,056.04 claimed by staff working at schools. A director at Lancashire County Council, which had the second-largest total at £794,815.18, said accidents were inevitable. Bob Stott, who is responsible for schools, said: 'We would prefer it that no one was ever hurt in an accident while at school. 'But in a county with nearly 10,000 teachers and well over 160,000 school-age children it is inevitable that there will be some incidents resulting in injuries, thankfully mostly minor. 'When the county council receives a claim for compensation it has to make a decision regarding its liability, and defend or settle the case as appropriate. 'This may lead to a compensation payment being made.' A spokesman for Essex County Council, which had the third-highest total at £785,485.31, said: 'Essex County Council takes its health, safety and wellbeing responsibilities seriously and is committed to complying with its legal, moral and financial obligations. 'When a claim is made it is investigated thoroughly and payment made if the claim is successful. 'It is also worth noting that Essex County Council is one of the largest local authorities in the country with a greater number of schools within its boundaries so the numbers will be naturally higher.'

Housed in a dome almost the size of Big Ben and containing a mirror nearly half the length of a football pitch, it wasn’t exactly rocket science for astronomers to find a name for this telescope. And, sure enough, they came up with the European Extremely Large Telescope – just about the only routine thing about the world’s largest and most powerful ‘eye on the sky’. Astronomers reckon it may finally shed light on whether there really is life somewhere out there by helping them find Earth-like rocky worlds that are home to other beings. And British scientists might be among the first to find out – as their work is crucial to the project. Key . instruments for the telescope will be developed thanks to £3.5million . funding from the Science and Technology Facilities Council. The device in the Atacama Desert, Chile, will be built in a dome that covers an area the size of a stadium. It . has a sensitivity to visible and infrared light tens of times greater . than any previous telescope, and is designed to help astronomers peer . back to the first galaxies 14billion years ago. This . could unlock secrets of dark matter and dark energy – little-understood . forces in space – to help explain how the universe evolved, according . to the plans. The British . instruments are being developed by the universities of Durham and . Oxford, with the UK Astronomy Technology Centre and Rutherford Appleton . Laboratory. They will include spectrometers to . analyse the light received from space, as well as gadgets to help remove . blurring distortions caused by the Earth’s atmosphere, a process known . as adaptive optics. This will produce pictures 15 times sharper than those taken by the Hubble space telescope, which has been in orbit since 1990. Professor . Isobel Hook, E-ELT project scientist at the University of Oxford, said: . ‘This new financial commitment from the STFC means that UK astronomers . will have access to the earliest scientific results from this . revolutionary telescope – an exciting prospect.’ The Atacama, pictured, is a favoured location for the project because the dryness and clarity of the air provide exceptional observing conditions . It is believed the telescope will . bring hundreds of millions of pounds of benefits to British companies . involved in building it.

A couple were forced to flee their council home a week after moving in after it became overrun by giant rats - some of which were 12 inches long. Jade Newborn and Chris Walley moved into the house in Stoke-on-Trent on August 12 after waiting months for a home. But within a week, the couple had found 11 vermin at the house, some of which were 12 inches long. Chris Walley and his partner have left the home after finding 11 rats in the council house in just one week . The couple say the move has been an 'absolute nightmare' and that they have been forced to flee . 'It's been an absolute nightmare,' said Mr Walley, 21. The self-employed builder caught 11 of the animals on his own after his partner moved out. 'My girlfriend’s moved out because she’s so scared of them. 'I’m worried they could kill my puppy, and I’ve lost hundreds of pounds in wages while I’ve tried to sort this out. 'I’ve had to completely strip the kitchen to try and find them, and when I did I found so many rat droppings and loads of holes where they’ve been getting around the house.' 'I’ve caught a lot of them, but most have only been babies.' 'It took a month for pest control to come out, and all they did was put two pots of poison down. 'Half of one of them went in one night, which shows how bad it is. Mr Walley, a self employed builder, has ripped apart the kitchen to find where the vermin are coming from . The 21-year-old claimed droppings and tiny holes in the walls made him think there were more than 11 . Miss Newborn said she has gone to stay with her mother as she is petrified of the creatures . Pest control visited the property when the couple complained but, they say, only left two pots of rat poison . 'At first we didn’t know what was going on around the house - we had some strange marks and thought it might have been a ghost. 'It’s just got worse since then, and I want it to stop.' Mr Waller has been returning to the house to try and solve the problem as his 'petrified' girlfriend stays at her mother's house. 'It's just horrific in there, I can't stand it,' said Miss Newborn, also 21. 'I’m absolutely petrified of rats, so I’ll stay with my mum until they’re gone. 'We’ve had all sorts of problems - we can’t use the cooker as rats were running all around it, so we’ve had to live off takeaways and use money we don’t have. 'I’m so scared of what could happen to Rex - rats are so dirty, one bite might kill him.' 'Petrified': The couple said they feared for their dog as rats are known to carry many diseases and could bite . The 21-year-olds say they waited months before being moved into the semi-detached house in Stoke-on-Trent . Councillor Joy Garner, the city council’s cabinet member for housing, neighbourhoods and community safety, said: 'Our environmental health team was alerted to the rat problem by Mr Walley on July 18, and a pest control officer went out on August 4 to investigate and deal with the problem. 'We contacted Mr Walley afterwards and he told us he was satisfied with the action we’d taken, but we’re going back next week for a routine follow-up check to make sure the problem has definitely been resolved. 'We take the welfare of all of our council tenants very seriously and we understand that discovering vermin in your home can be very upsetting. 'We’re looking into what caused this particular problem, as well as the reports of damage to Mr Walley’s property.'

For £4.4 million, you can buy  a working piece of maritime  history, complete with two beaches, tall ships and an ice cream parlour. Unfortunately, Cornwall's Charlestown Harbour does not come with a house to live in. Charlestown harbour in Cornwall - complete with two beaches and its own ice cream parlour - has gone up for sale for £4.4m . Its owner, Robin Davies, has turned the Grade II listed port into a successful business in its own right, with the quaint quayside becoming a popular setting for film and TV crews . As well as the shipyard business which makes and restores vessels and offers seamanship training, there is huge revenue potential in movie location fees and hiring out the Tall ships . The port was used for the scene in Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland where the heroine (played by Mia Wasikowska, above) sets sail for China . Instead, you can own the waterfront, a car park and roads for offers in the region of £1.5 million. Another £1.4 million buys a marine training and charter business, including two square-rigged tall ships, and a further £1.5 million will secure two acres of land suitable for commercial or residential development, although it does not yet have planning consent. The small port has been in private ownership for nearly 20 years, although members of the public are allowed access on foot or by boat. There is also income in the lease on the restaurant and ice cream parlour, mooring fees and car park charges . The harbour is a popular tourist destination and was visited by Tony and Cherie Blair in 2001 . The port was built in the late 18th century by local landowner Charles Rashleigh. It developed around the fishing village of West Polmear . The quaint Grade II-listed quayside has become a popular setting for film crews. Scenes from The Eagle Has Landed, Treasure Island, The Three Musketeers and Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland have been filmed there, and it featured in an episode of Doctor Who starring Matt Smith – The Curse Of The Black Spot. The port was built in the late 18th century by local landowner Charles Rashleigh. The site was developed around the fishing village of West Polmear. Initially, it capitalised on the China clay trade and fishing - but as these businesses declined, use of the harbour almost ground to a halt. In 1994, Square Sail bought the port and beaches - and it soon housed three square-rigged sailing ships. Owner Robin Davies, 69, is nearing . retirement and has placed the 3.5-acre piece of land and water  up for . sale in the hope that a new owner will take over his business, which . employs 18 people, including a harbour master, engineers and deckhands. As well as the shipyard business, . which makes and restores vessels and offers seamanship training, there . is potential revenue in film location fees and hiring out the tall . ships. There is also income from the lease on the restaurant and ice . cream parlour, mooring fees and car park charges. Mr Davies said: 'We bought the harbour . to keep ships in and have the facilities to repair boats, but a lot of . our business is now focused on film sets. 'It is a vibrant little village and a . spectacular place to live, and we think this is a once-in-a-lifetime . opportunity for someone.' A spokesman for commercial agents . First Peninsula, which is handling the sale, said: 'Charlestown Harbour . is one of the few remaining British ports still in private ownership. It . offers a wealth of opportunity to its purchaser.' A scene from 1993 film The Three Musketeers, which was partly shot at Charlestown . Mr Davies said: 'The harbour used to be used to export china clay and when we came here the place was covered in this white dust'
Charlestown in Cornwall also used as film location for The Three Musketeers, Mel Gibson's Apocalypto and episode of Doctor Who . Site employs 18 people, including a harbour master .

By . Rob Preece . PUBLISHED: . 05:39 EST, 8 June 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 05:45 EST, 8 June 2012 . A Russian banker who was shot six times in a failed assassination attempt in London has called on his home country to mount an 'honest' investigation into the attack - as he repeated his claim to know who was behind it. German Gorbuntsov believes the hit was orchestrated by people with connections to the Kremlin. He was speaking from his bed in an unnamed London hospital, where he is being guarded around the clock by a team of 20 armed police. Target: German Gorbuntsov, who is being protected in his London hospital bed by armed police, says he knows who is behind the attempt on his life . A lone assassin fired at the 45-year-old banker as he entered his flat on Byng Street in the capital's Docklands on March 20. Mr Gorbuntsov, who is recovering after coming out of a coma, said he believed his former business partners were behind the shooting. 'I ask the authorities to be honest and to investigate what happened in a fair way,' Mr Gorbuntsov told the Independent. 'I want them to question me quickly, and hand over documents to Britain quickly.' Scotland Yard detectives have dismissed suggestions that Russian authorities are being obstructive in the case, but have admitted there are no named suspects. Mr Gorbuntsov suspects the investigation is being held up because the men he has named claim to be friends of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin. Concern: Mr Gorbuntsov, left, suspects the investigation is being held up because the men he has named claim to be friends of the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, right . Critical: German Gorbuntsov was taken to hospital by ambulance after the attack . Speaking via a Skype internet . connection set up from his lawyers' Moscow office, he said he had been . interviewed repeatedly by British police but no one from Russia had . questioned him. 'The . evidence I have is enough to put them behind bars,' he said. 'Of course . they have good connections, but I'd like to believe there is justice in . Russia.' Scene: The doorway to an exclusive London block of flats where Mr Gorbuntsov was shot . The banker had fled to London to hide from his former business partners and said nobody knew where he was living. But he noticed he was being followed in the days before the shooting. He did not see the man who fired at him. Doctors have told Mr Gorbuntsov he will need to remain in hospital for up to three months, although his condition is stable. The banker and his lawyers believe he was attacked because he was preparing to give evidence to Russian prosecutors about a botched assassination attempt on his former business partner, Alexander Antonov. Mr Antonov, father of Vladimir Antonov, the former owner of Portsmouth Football Club, was shot in Moscow in 2009 but survived. Mr Gorbuntsov first named the men he suspects of being behind the killing in an interview with the Mail on Sunday in April. In that interview he recalled how he had just stepped out of a taxi and was punching in the entry code to his apartment block when his would-be assassin emerged from the shadows and opened fire. He said: ‘It had been an ordinary day and it was around 8pm when I got back home from my office in the City. 'I tapped in the code and when I got to the third digit I suddenly felt a terrible sharp pain in my stomach, and then another, and another.' The case bears similarities with the poisoning of Russian intelligence agent Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006. No one has been convicted of Mr Litvinenko's murder, which led to a cooling of relations between Britain and Moscow.

(CNN) -- The mayor of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, is asking Mexican federal authorities not to pull military units out of the region for at least another six months. A Mexican soldier controls traffic at the Mexico-U.S. border customs post in Ciudad Juarez on August 16. A decision on whether to withdraw the troops is expected before September 15. The troops were sent to the city across from El Paso, Texas, in the spring of 2008 to help quell violence involving warring drug cartels. An additional surge of troops was sent this spring. That surge appeared to work at first, cutting the homicide rate in Juarez drastically. But murders in the city spiked over the summer. Figures provided by the city show that in August. more than 300 people were killed, the deadliest month so far this year. In July, 260 died and in June, 220. Those numbers were in stark contrast to 16 homicides in March, 42 in April and 60 in May. The mayor, Jose Reyes Ferriz, attributed the summer spike in violence to wars between cartels over the control of street drug-sale points. The cartels are hiring mostly youths to handle retail drug sales, he said, and that has resulted in most of the murder victims being between the ages of 14 and 25. The mayor said Juarez is not ready for the army's full withdrawal, even though he is aware the troops' presence was meant to be a temporary solution to give the city time to get rid of corrupt police officers, hire new ones and train its new force. "We have accomplished the part that has to do with strengthening the police, but the city is in a very difficult situation. We are asking part of the army to stay and help us," Reyes Ferriz said. In September, 750 newly graduated police cadets are expected to join Ciudad Juarez Police Department, and another 400 in October, bringing the force to a total of about 3,000 officers. According to figures provided by the military, more than 6,000 soldiers are serving in Joint Operation Chihuahua in Juarez, of which 3,600 have been assigned to narco-traffic operations. The rest have been assigned to traffic duties and street patrols. The operation's spokesman, Enrique Torres, said the military is "evaluating the security situation" in the city and will be "implementing a gradual withdrawal."

(CNN) -- You might remember the ad campaign "Bo knows baseball. Bo knows football." But these days sports legend Bo Jackson knows charity. Jackson has dedicated his post-pro-sports days to raising money to help restore the areas of his native Alabama devastated by a tornado in April 2011. He is also raising awareness on how to protect yourself and others from deadly storms. Jackson recalls that day: "I was in Illinois, where I live, and I can't remember what I was doing but I got phone calls from relatives and friends saying there's a bad storm -- a big tornado." Big indeed. A mile-wide tornado demolished much of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and the surrounding areas on April 27, 2011. This killer tornado was a part of a bigger storm system that left more than 300 people dead in the Southeast. Jackson remembers a conversation he had with his sister in the aftermath. "She said the storm was bad but everybody in our little town was OK. But other towns like Tuscaloosa, Cordova, Coleman, Jasper -- they got hit pretty hard," Jackson says. Rocked by the news, Jackson, a native of Bessemer, Alabama, who starred in football and baseball at Auburn University, knew he couldn't just sit idly by as the community that supported him in his climb to success was now in ruins. "I sat up and thought about what I can do to give back to my community, my state. And I came up with this harebrained idea to ride a bicycle across the state," Jackson says. His idea became reality with the creation of Bo Bikes Bama. Jackson and his friends rode across the state to raise money not only to help rebuild but also to build community storm shelters. "Bo Bikes Bama is an event where I want to make the rest of the country aware of just how severe a tornado can be. It's a way of coming back home and doing something for the people that had faith in me when I was younger. Bo Bikes Bama is all about caring about your brothers and sisters," Jackson says. The first Bo Bikes Bama took place in 2012 and Jackson has vowed to make it an annual event because he feels the need will always be there. The storms will keep coming and the mission for him is not just to rebuild after loss, but to better prepare for the next storm. "I decided to make it an annual event, as long as I can ride to raise money for tornado victims." He also is aware that in addition to the money raised, the event is a morale booster for the survivors in these small towns. "People will be struggling to rebuild for a long time. And just to see these people come out and stand beside the street and wave and smile after everything that they've been through -- lost family members, lost their homes, their jobs -- and they still come out (and) thank you for what you're doing. ... It's a period where everybody has decided to come together and work as one for one great cause," Jackson says. In addition to the bike ride, Jackson and his group go into small Alabama towns seeking to persuade landowners to donate land where community storm shelters can be built. "When you don't have a place to get out of the way of a tornado, a lot of people get injured, lose their lives. Hiding in a closet or getting in a bathtub doesn't work when the whole house is getting picked up off the foundation and getting thrown down the street," Jackson says. And while the bike ride is Jackson's major annual fundraiser, he stresses that the need continues year round and his group collects donations year round to continue their efforts. "I would rather do something to prevent the loss of life now than wait until something else bad happens," Jackson says. He also sees that severe weather like this affects many more Americans beyond Alabama and he recognizes the need to expand his reach. "I have already been contacted by friends of mine to come and do the same thing in Mississippi. I've been contacted by friends of mine in Missouri (Jackson played baseball for the Kansas City Royals) that would love for me to come back there and do something there, and I want to. I will. But I gotta take care of home first."
Bo Jackson was very disturbed about tornadoes that hit Alabama, his home state . The famed athlete started an annual bike ride across the state to raise money for victims . Bo Bikes Bama funds will also go toward community shelters .

They would have heard the roars across the entire United Kingdom even if ITV had switched off the sound. But it is the pictures beamed out from Belfast across the Irish Sea on to and out into the satellite ether which will carry Carl Frampton to global stardom. The exposure of The Jackal’s first world title defence on terrestrial television in Britain and to 55 more countries around the world will generate a huge new audience for one of the most exciting fighters in the world, let alone these sceptred isles. Carl Frampton and Chris Avalos went toe-to-toe but it was the Belfast boy who came out on top . Frampton lands a right hook on Avalos who took sustained punishment at the hands of the champion . Frampton walks away as Avalos lies on the canvas following a slip during the world title fight . Frampton celebrates his victory with trainer Shane McGuigan at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast . When Frampton described this five-round demolition of Chris Avalos as 'easy' he did himself an injustice. The challenger came to fight in the warrior tradition of Mexican-American boxers and brought a fiery reputation with him. What he ran into in the bellowing cauldron of the Odyssey Arena was the performance which elevates Frampton to within touching distance of the world’s boxing elite. There was piercing assessment of Avalos, accurate and dispiriting counter-punching under early on, a vicious softening up of his opponent for three or four rounds. Then the savage finish which is the hallmark of real fighters. Carl Frampton lands a big right hand on a night he closed in on the world's boxing elite . Avalos came prepared to fight and with a fiery reputation, but was well beaten by the fifth round . David Haye tweeted: 'Amazing night in Belfast. Frampton prove's he's 'The Man', I'd so Love to see unification with Scott Quigg . Referee Howard Foster had seen enough by midway through the fifth – and for all his bravura I am sure Avalos had, also. No Froch-Groves controversy here for this excellent official. The Ulster faithful were sated, also, and they lifted the roof in vocal adoration of their Jackal who is, indeed, more animal than pet. Frampton said: ‘I felt great in there.’ And great may be the word to describe him very soon. He is keen to oblige Scott Quigg, Bury’s WBA regular super-bantamweight champion, probably in Manchester in June. Then he is agitating for a massive unification fight against Guillermo Rigondeaux, the Cuban division the other key players in this division are so reluctant to fight. Don’t bet too heavily against Frampton as and when it happens. Frampton (right) retained his IBF super-bantamweight title for the first time against Avalos . Frampton (right) in action during his victory over Avalos at the Odyssey Arena, Belfast . They were Ready to Rumble long before Michael Buffer climbed into the ring with his microphone but the American announcer helped crank up the atmosphere in the Odyssey up another notch with his renowned call to battle. The Belfast night belongs to The Jackal and his people came out in force from both sides of the sectarian divide which first Barry McGuigan and now Frampton have straddled without fear or favour. We wondered whether we would ever again be party to the like of McGuigan’s uproarious nights in the old King’s Hall but the atmosphere has returned all these years later and transferred even more noisily to the new arena up the road, with a vengeance. The new kid on the block, with the wise ex-champ to show him the ropes, is the power here now. And how they roar him to the rafters. Frampton revels in the adulation of the Belfast crowd after an excellent display on Saturday night . Frampton and Scott Quigg posed in the ring afterwards as they bid to organise a unification clash . Avalos came in to cat-calls but met the screeches by climbing onto the ropes in his corners and pounding his chest in defiance. The Jackal entered the ring with bedlam prefacing his first defence of the IBF world super-bantamweight title. Frampton had said it's either fight or flight for his opponents in this cauldron. To his liking, Avalos came forward and was caught by enough right-hand counters to give Frampton the opening round. Avalos was again the aggressor at the start of the second and enjoyed some success off his left jab but Frampton was landing the heavier shots. Avalos was striving to make a brawl of it at close quarters but Frampton is a born fighter and gave better than he got to the body. The Mexican-American was using his head as a third fist and there was the beginning of a cut by his right eye. But he rocked Avalos with a succession of left hooks to move further ahead on the cards. Avalos certainly had come to fight and engaged in some furious exchanges – but Frampton’s speed and accuracy with both hands saw him begin to alarm his challenger with combinations of a high order. Avalos was beginning to feel the pace and Frampton’s eye was holding together. Avalos had come to fight but was outclassed by Frampton's speed and accuracy . Former world featherweight champions Barry McGuigan jumps into the ring to celebrate Frampton's win . Frampton launched a furious onslaught, battering his man around the ring and onto the ropes. Avalos was almost out on his feet but when he fell off them referee Howard Foster gave him the benefit of a slip. He might have been better taking a count. No sooner was Avalos back on his feet than Frampton was on him with a vengeance and not to be denied. A barrage of unanswered blows other than by a shaking of the Avalos head left Foster with no option but to stop it. The place erupted in adoration of the idol of Ulster who has won the affection of all Ireland and surely, now the admiration of the entire UK.

(CNN) -- As the pounding of war drums intensifies against ISIS and its advances in Iraq and Syria, at least one senator is voicing opposition to plans to arm Syrian rebels and says he's willing to shut down the government over it. Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat who often finds himself at odds with the White House, said spending $500 million to provide weapons to groups in Syria that are fighting both ISIS and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will backfire. "At the end of the day, most of the arms that we give to people are used against us. Most of the people we train turn against us," Manchin said Tuesday on CNN's "New Day." While lawmakers are expected to put off until after the November election a vote on direct U.S. military action in Syria, votes on arming Syrian rebels could come this week as part of a larger funding bill. The House is slated to vote Wednesday, and the Senate soon after, on a measure that ties funding for the entire government to a measure authorizing the administration to arm Syrian opposition groups. Government funding runs out at the end of September and if new legislation isn't passed, many government services will come to a halt. Manchin, who is opposed to arming the rebels, called tying the two issues together an "atrocious" package. "I'm willing to vote. I will vote no -- absolutely no -- and stand tall in West Virginia to explain my vote," he said. Manchin said his critics might say he voted to shut down the government. His response: "But guess what's wrapped into it, a policy that might get us embroiled (in war) for years and years." Congressional leaders are reluctant to hold a stand-alone vote on the measure because of the upcoming midterm elections less than two months away. Lawmakers would have to go to their districts and explain their positions to a war-weary public. Manchin is not up for re-election this year. But at least one senator running for re-election has indicated opposition to arming the rebels. Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska, who is in a tight race against Republican Dan Sullivan, said in a statement last week that he opposes the plan "at this time." "I am gravely concerned by reports of ISIS seizing and utilizing U.S. weapons intended for those fighting against the Syrian regime, and we must have greater assurance that we aren't arming extremists who will eventually use the weapons against us," Begich added. Manchin also responded to lawmakers, including Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who are suggesting that the U.S. approach to ISIS go even further than what President Barack Obama has proposed and include U.S. involvement in a ground war. "In West Virginia, at least we know the definition of insanity -- doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results," he said. "This has to be a ground game by the people of that region." War against ISIS: What does Rand Paul's 'yes' mean? CNN's Deirdre Walsh contributed to this report .

London (CNN) -- Jacintha Saldanha should never have become a household name. But within a few hours of her apparent suicide after being duped by a radio prank call, the nurse's name was in headlines around the world. Her husband and two teenage children have said little, overwhelmed by the shocking death of a wife and mother thrust suddenly into the public eye. Read more: Radio personalities apologize for prank call to duchess's hospital . An inquest, expected to open Thursday, may shed more light on the reasons for her apparent decision to take her own life early Friday, three days after putting through the fateful call from two Australian DJs who impersonated Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles to gain medical details about Prince William's pregnant wife, Catherine. In the meantime, a picture is starting to emerge of a generous, caring woman who was caught up in a media maelstrom. Read more: Prank call pitted 'the great' against the powerless . The 46-year-old nurse moved to the UK from India a decade ago, and for the past four years, she had worked in the hospital where Catherine was being treated for acute morning sickness. She spent her time off duty in the family home in the southwestern city of Bristol, according to UK media reports. British lawmaker Keith Vaz -- who accompanied Saldanha's husband, Benedict Barboza, and their children, Lisha and Junal, on a visit to the hospital living quarters in central London where she was found dead -- said they were devastated by the loss of "a loving mother and a loving wife." With the family standing beside him, looking shell-shocked, he added: "This is a close family. They are devastated by what has happened. They miss her every moment of every day, but they are really grateful to the support of the British public and to the public overseas." UK media reports have quoted an online testimonial for her driving instructor in which Saldanha apparently described herself as "a very nervous person." Read more: Nurse death sparks outrage, casts glare on 'shock jocks' But for her classmates and colleagues back home in India, she was a deeply religious, benevolent and bold young woman. "Jacintha was loving and caring," recalled the Rev. Sister Aileen Mathias, chief nursing officer at the Father Muller Medical College in the southern Indian city of Mangalore. Both trained at the institution's nursing school in the 1980s. Mathias still remembers her night shifts with Saldanha, who was a year her senior. "She would share her bread, coffee and sweets with the patients," Mathias said as she reminisced about her time with her old friend. Saldanha, at that time single, was a nursing student from 1984 to 1988 and said to be a devout Catholic. Read more: Hospital slams prank call radio station over nurse's death . "She was very religious. She will pray for the patients. Both of us will pray together for the patients," Mathias said. Last year, Saldanha visited her alma mater and donated money for the needy receiving treatment at the hospital, the nursing chief said. "Jacintha was a generous person. She would help patients whenever she was here." A condolence message posted on the website of Mangalore's Father Muller Charitable Institutions described the late mother of two as a "dedicated and caring nurse." But Mathias also recollected Saldanha's lighter side. "She was a forward-looking girl. And she was very humorous. We cracked jokes. It was fun being together." Read more: Australian prank call radio station boss calls nurse's death 'truly tragic' Her friends have not forgotten her diligence in her studies. "Jacintha was pretty studious. She would often score as much as 75% or even more (in exams). And she was an active participant in several activities of the college," Mathias said. Nathalia Martis, 46, was in Saldanha's class. She cannot believe that her classmate committed suicide. "I was shocked to hear that. She was not that type who would do that," she said. Now a staff nurse herself at the Father Muller Hospital, Martis remembers Saldanha as a "bold girl." "She was very good, polite, but a very bold girl. She was always ready to face any kind of a situation," Martis said of her friend. She praised Saldanha for her "leading capacity." Martis wouldn't elaborate, though, saying she doesn't remember specific incidents from more than 25 years ago. But she found Saldanha to be a decisive woman. "She was a good decision-maker. ... I mean she will take quick decisions during problems," Martis said. A family acquaintance, Ivan D'Souza, also considered her a "confident" person. "She was a student here at Father Muller. She was a confident girl. And that's what her teachers also tell us about her. She would not normally make mistakes," he said on the phone from Mangalore. "We are not able to digest the news about her death." Others back in Britain also praised her as a professional and caring person. Lord Glenarthur, chairman of the private King Edward VII's Hospital where she worked, described her as "a first-class nurse who cared diligently for hundreds of patients." And the hospital's chief executive, John Lofthouse, spoke of her as "a much loved and valued colleague" who would be greatly missed by her co-workers. For now, D'Souza said, much of Saldanha's family is in her birthplace, waiting for her body to arrive. "We should get it as soon as possible," he said. The decision on when to fly her remains back to India is one for her relatives to make, London's Metropolitan Police said. So far, her family's most public expressions of grief have been made via Facebook. Barboza, Saldanha's husband, wrote over the weekend: "I am devastated with the tragic loss of my beloved wife Jacintha in tragic circumstances. She will be laid to rest in Shirva, India." Saldanha's daughter, whose Facebook page is headed by a photo of herself with her mother and brother, wrote: "I miss you, I loveeee you. (Heart) Jacintha saldanha." CNN's Harmeet Shah Singh reported from New Delhi; and Laura Smith-Spark wrote from London.

(CNN) -- Born without the lower portion of his spine, Kurt Fearnley was given just a week to live. Medical staff deemed his condition so severe they even asked his parents if they actually wanted to take him home. Yet Glenn and Jackie Fearnley had no doubts about that, and their youngest son has gone on to claim three Paralympic gold medals, win the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, trek the notoriously-challenging Kokoda Trail and lunch with Britain's Queen along the way. It's a mightily impressive collection but in his earliest moments, the prospect of such an action-packed life looked decidedly slim. "There was quite a period of time when they weren't sure whether I would live out the hour, the day, the week, the month," the Australian, 33, tells CNN's Human To Hero series. "It was slowly after we had been transferred to Sydney that there was the understanding I might be here to hang around, and my parents were then allowed to choose to take me back home -- even though they were offered alternatives." Despite his condition -- sacral agenesis, which affects approximately one in 25,000 births -- young Kurt was constantly told by his parents that he was no different to his four elder siblings and that he could achieve anything he wanted. So they perhaps shouldn't have been so surprised when he informed them of his choice of career. "Telling Mum and Dad that I was turning down my place at university to be a teacher to become a wheelchair racer instead, I could have been sitting across from them saying I wanted to be a professional unicorn hunter," Fearnley recalls. But he was backed to the hilt -- and not just by his family. Growing up in the tiny New South Wales village of Carcoar, whose population even now is little more than 250, Fearnley was much-loved and terrifically supported. Despite having legs so weak that they cannot support his weight, he would enter high jump competitions and play rugby league among other sporting pursuits -- and this indomitable spirit did not go unnoticed. So when he had to turn down an invite to compete in the United States because he knew his family lacked the funds to send him, the people of Carcoar came to the rescue -- raising enough money within a week to buy both his flight and a racing chair. Two decades on, the boy from the backwater has become a byword for bravery and belief -- and he did go on to become a teacher, qualified in physical education, as well. "There were two turning points in my sporting aspirations. One of them would have been when I started to realize that I wasn't going to play cricket or rugby league for Australia as I wasn't competitive in that line," he says with a grin. "Then there was the introduction to what my life is now -- wheelchair sports. I was about 13-14 when introduced to that lifestyle and culture. It changed my world." "It was 1994 and I saw these guys who were just these big men and better than any footballer or cricketer. They were these gladiators and I loved it. "I wanted to be them and here I am 20 years later. I think I'm almost there." Fearnley's modesty grossly belies his herculean feats. This is a man who can boast six silver medals and two bronzes on top of the three golds he has won since first competing at the Paralympics in 2000, on home soil in Sydney. This is a man whose times in his 5,000 meters and marathon category (T54) have never been beaten. And this is a man who has won a staggering 35 marathons out of the 54 he has contested around the world -- finishing on the podium another 14 times. "The thing I love about racing wheelchairs is that when I get into my wheelchair, there is not another person in the world that is more made to do what I do," explains Fearnley, who won 1,500m silver at last month's Commonwealth Games. "There are moments when you are racing that the speed is at a certain level or you're taking a corner at the right speed -- and at that moment, you feel like you are absolutely perfect and that this is what you are meant to do. It's an incredible feeling." And Fearnley, who stands just 4 foot 7 inches and weighs around 50 kg, is an incredible competitor. He won 2004 Paralympic gold after suffering a puncture with five kilometers still left to race, under a fierce Athenian sun. Two years later, he set a record time in the New York Marathon despite falling over when hitting a pothole. "The most important quality any athlete needs is resilience. It's essential for a marathoner," says a man who has also survived two serious car crashes, one of them while in his wheelchair. Yet merely relaying Fearnley's professional exploits doesn't come close to conveying the fullness of his extraordinary drive and ambition. Just consider his approach to the Kokoda Trail, a testing single-file trek that runs 96 kilometers (59 miles) through the mountains of Papua New Guinea. The path's rugged nature and precipitous river crossings are so challenging it can take any able-bodied person anywhere from 4-12 days to traverse it, so one can barely imagine the difficulties endured for someone who chooses -- in Fearnley's own words -- to "crawl" across it. Nonetheless, he took it on for both charitable and patriotic reasons. In 1942, Japan wanted to seize control of what was then New Guinea before launching a direct assault on the Australian mainland lying south, with seven months of intense fighting required before being ultimately repelled. "The Kokoda Trail is the only sport in the world where Australia has really fought for the direct defense of Australia. It holds unlimited important to who we are as a nation," Fearnley says. "It is 96 kilometers of mud and untold amounts of hills. The hills are these mudslides that are covered in a honeycomb of tree routes where you just have to try to keep trudging on. "I crawled it in 2009, and it feels like it was a lifetime ago. I often wonder how it actually took place. When I was asked in the lead-up to it, it was just 'Why not?' If I think I can do something somewhere in the world and I want to, then wouldn't I make that happen?" It's an attitude that sits very comfortably alongside his approach to life. "My motto is probably that struggling is alright, and any struggling is strengthening," he says. For precisely this reason, he chose to spend his Christmas holiday in 2011 on board the 100-foot Supermaxi yacht Loyal as it won the famous Sydney to Hobart race. Being pummeled by waves and tossed around a buccaneering boat is not everyone's idea of fun but for the pragmatic Fearnley -- who also has a love of surfing -- it was all a way of readying himself for the 2012 Paralympics in London. "I have had some incredible experiences outside of wheelchair racing, such as sitting down with 12 other people for lunch two years ago and one of them being the Queen," he smiles, referring to his meeting with visiting British royalty. "Finding myself on board a yacht on the Sydney to Hobart and winning by 300 meters, having crawled around on this thing for 58 hours -- crawling, in the middle of the night, through people's vomit just doing my job and whatever needed to happen." In spite of his unorthodox methods and his intense training regime, Fearnley failed in his objective to win the 2012 Paralympic marathon in his category. Yet he was involved in one of the great Paralympic races, taking bronze even though he finished less than a second by the winner. So he is unequivocal when asked to describe the biggest challenge of what has been a gloriously colorful career. "I would say the next one -- turning up at the Rio Olympics in two years' time to try to get back to that number one position," he ventures. "People may think there is not a lot between first and second (and third) place. In my case it was 0.8 of a second over a marathon, but that 0.8 of a second is absolutely everything in my sport. "So I would say that the biggest challenge that I would ever have come through over the last 20 years will be trying to rectify that 0.8 of a second in the next two years."

(CNN)The neighborhoods look like those in many European cities. Restaurants and shops abound. There's a mix of new and old. Cars and buses shuttle from here to there. And people crowd the streets, the only thing distinct about them being that they look more diverse than some other places. These are places to go, locals say -- not "no-go zones," as described by a Fox News commentator as well as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. The last few weeks have seen characterizations of some European cities as inordinately full of Muslims, areas where a woman without a veil might feel too scared to explore, areas that police largely avoid, and where Sharia law rules the day. This storyline has struck a nerve in place like the British city of Birmingham and the Belleville neighborhood of Paris, coming on the heels of terror attacks in France that killed 17 and stirred worries around Europe. It's left some angry, dismissive or incredulous, unsure of what to make of it all. Who are these people, they ask, making sweeping, damning assessments of their hometowns from thousands of miles away? "When I heard this, frankly I choked on my porridge, and I thought it was April Fools' Day," British Prime Minister David Cameron told network ITV, referring specifically to Fox News commentator Steve Emerson's remarks. "This guy is clearly a complete idiot." The central English city of Birmingham has a long and proud history, from Stone Age-era natives to Roman conquerors to medieval markets and more. Today, the city is home to more than 1 million people -- who, partly due to its universities, are younger than England's overall population with 45.7% under age 30. Birmingham is also relatively diverse, with about 42% of its citizens being not white and 22% born outside the country. In terms of religion, just over 46% of residents are Christian, just under 22% are Muslim, and about 19% have no religion. It is not as Emerson described it earlier this month: "There are actually cities like Birmingham that are totally Muslim, where non-Muslims simply don't go in." This assertion is wrong, as Emerson and Fox later admitted. But that doesn't mean it didn't sting. Britain's Press Association talked to several people in Birmingham, some of whom called such claims ridiculous, others who dismissed them as misconceptions, and one called it simply ignorant. "We are not in cuckoo land," Raja Mohammed Ishtiaq, co-owner of the Raja Brothers market founded by Pakistani immigrants, told the Guardian. "There are lots of Muslims here, but this is a multicultural society and there are beautiful links between the different religions. How can they say this? Birmingham is one of the stable communities." Some poked fun at the remarks on Twitter, with one claiming "the British army ... sent snow to make Birmingham white again" and another showing a picture of a bingo hall called "Mecca." Joked one man: "Was a bit surprised that I had to convert to the Muslim faith before they'd let me off the train at Birmingham the other day." Birmingham wasn't the only British city caught up in the controversy. So, too, was the capital, London. Emerson, for one, talked about "no-go zones" around England. And during a speech in London, Jindal said that "in the West, non-assimilationist Muslims establish enclaves and carry out as much of Sharia law as they can without regard for the laws of the democratic countries which provided them a new home." "It is startling to think that any country would allow, even unofficially, for a so-called 'no-go zone,'" he said. "The idea that a free country would allow for specific areas of its country to operate in an autonomous way that is not free and is in direct opposition to its laws is hard to fathom." Jindal later doubled-down on the comments, telling CNN's Max Foster that "there are people here in London that will tell you there are neighborhoods where women don't feel safe ... without veils" and "where police are less likely to go." A CNN crew went out to Newham, the London borough with the largest Muslim population, and found people who thought the Republican governor's remarks were not based in reality. They said they felt safe and comfortable in a community that looked like many other parts of the city. Ken Marsh, who represents London's police union, was similarly disbelieving. "This is not something we recognize at all," Marsh said. "We don't have areas in London that are no-go. We don't have areas in London that are Sharia law only. And we police all areas of London." This debate unfolded hundreds of miles from the place that got the world talking about it in the first place: Paris. That's where two Islamist extremists stormed the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine January 7, leaving 12 dead. A policewoman in the Paris suburb of Montrouge was killed a day later. The next day, the national nightmare climaxed in a pair of raids that killed three terrorists, on top of the four civilians dead after a hostage siege at a kosher market in eastern Paris. These events and their ties to an extreme, twisted and violent form of Islam made what's happening in France a talking point for commentators worldwide. Some of that media buzz drew the ire of French nationals, in particular Fox News for Emerson's comments and segments suggesting there are parts of Paris and other European cities where Islamic law is practiced and where police are fearful to work. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo went so far as to lay out plans to sue Fox News for having "insulted" her city. "The image of Paris has been prejudiced," she told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "And the honor of Paris has been prejudiced." Not everyone in France is rallying around Charlie Hebdo, especially after it published a cartoon depicting the Prophet Mohammed after the attacks. Teacher Eric Betencourt told CNN that many of his Muslim students felt the magazine's staff had some responsibility for what happened, saying, "they continued doing what they were doing in full knowledge of the risks." Yet even if the entire country isn't on the same page when it comes to the satirical magazine, that doesn't mean some places are isolated -- at least when it comes to police patrolling the streets or whether anyone, including women without veils, feel welcome on them. CNN's Laura Akhoun grew up in the Paris neighborhood of Belleville, which has a large number of Muslims and immigrants. She describes it as a lively place where rent is a little cheaper, items at the market cost a little less, and people feel welcome, wherever they come from. People who are there now echo that view, saying they feel safe, comfortable and happy to live somewhere that people of all ethnicities and religions call home. It's no wonder then, that some proud French nationals felt disgusted by the idea of outsiders casting aspersions on such neighborhoods as dangerous places. Others fought back with humor -- as evidenced in a fake French news show, "Le Petit Journal," in which two men pretending to be Fox News reporters are seen on the streets of Paris. A graphic on the screen reads, "PARIS DANGEROUS CITY." At one point, one of the actors talks about getting in a taxi with a driver who had "a Muslim beard. Oh my God, he's a very dangerous Islamist. He wants to kill us." A little later on, one commentates as his fellow correspondent goes in and out of a Turkish restaurant. "John, it's too dangerous. Come back, come back; run away, run away," the actor screams in seeming desperation. "Oh my God, couscous! Couscous is very dangerous. Couscous in Paris!" CNN's Natalie Orchard and Max Foster in London, as well as CNN's Jim Bittermann in Paris, contributed to this report.
Some in U.S. media have said certain Muslim areas in Europe are unwelcoming, under Sharia law . Residents of Birmingham, England, dismiss such claims, saying they're not based in reality . Paris' mayor has sued Fox News over such assertions, while others in France responded with satire .

Wayne Rooney wants to forget his Manchester United captaincy debut as quickly as possible. The England striker had skippered United on several occasions before, but his first match as full-time captain came on Saturday when Swansea travelled to Old Trafford. Rooney equalised Ki Sung-Yueng's opener with an acrobatic volley but could not find another, and Swansea ran out 2-1 winners thanks to Gylfi Sigurdsson's 72nd-minute winner. VIDEO Scroll down for Van Gaal: Wayne Rooney must be a captain off the pitch too . Gutted: Wayne Rooney wants to quickly forget Manchester United's opening day defeat to Swansea . For Rooney, it was by no means a satisfactory way to start his spell as United skipper, and he quickly wants to move on from the defeat. 'It was a proud moment but a disappointing result,' he told MUTV. 'It's not one I'll look back on and remember with fond memories. 'You always want to win. It was a nice moment, but I'm disappointed we lost.' Saturday's match was an afternoon of firsts. United manager Louis van Gaal got his first taste of English football - although it will be one he wants to get out of his mouth quickly. Good time: Rooney scored the equaliser for the home side but his day didn't get any better as United lost . Tyler Blackett and Jesse Lingard made their debuts, and for Adnan Januzaj it was the first time he wore the prestigious No 11 shirt. Ryan Giggs owned that jersey for the last two decades, so the diminutive Belgian felt pride - and pressure - when he pulled it on at the weekend. 'It was a big honour for me and my family and I was very happy to have it given to me,' the young midfielder said. Tactics: Louis van Gaal's new 3-5-2 formation struggled to break down the Welsh visitors on a tough day . 'There is pressure on me because there was a legend in front of me who had it for 20 years, but I am really happy with that.' Januzaj was keen to stress nothing should be read into the defeat, which came as a big shock given that Swansea are among the favourites to be relegated this year. 'It was a very disappointing match but it's only the first one of the season so it's nothing,' said Januzaj, who came on for the injured Lingard in the first half. 'We'll move on to the next one now.' Legend in the making? Adnan Januzaj took over Ryan Giggs' No 11 shirt and he looked decent at times . Januzaj thinks United are better-equipped to recover from a setback now than they were under David Moyes, the man who led United to victory over Swansea this time last year but ended the year in seventh. 'A lot of things have changed,' Januzaj said when asked about Van Gaal's impact at the club. 'He is a top, top manager and we respect him a lot. We are working hard for him, the team and everyone else at the club. 'He was honest with us after the match but it's only the first game.' Those United fans worried about the state of their defence were given further cause for concern on Saturday. There was a lack of cohesion and focus from the back five, which turned into a back four after the break as Van Gaal ditched his 5-3-2 system. Vice-captain: Darren Fletcher was just as upset as Rooney with the way United surprisingly fell apart . United's vice-captain Darren Fletcher was unhappy both goalscorers were unmarked when they beat David De Gea. 'We conceded bad goals,' Fletcher said. 'For me it felt like Swansea scored with their first attack. 'We started the second half very well and got back into the game and then they sucker-punched us again. 'It felt like they had only two chances in the game and they've managed to score them both. That's hard to take and disappointing." On the other hand: Gylfi Sigurdsson had a dream Swansea return, scoring the winner at Old Trafford . Sigurdsson, meanwhile, could not think of a better place to score on his second debut for Swansea. 'Getting three points at Old Trafford is always special, but to score the winner here has been a dream for me ever since I was young,' said Sigurdsson, who returned to Swansea this summer following a two-year spell at Tottenham. 'It is one of the biggest stadiums in the world.'

Here's a sobering statistic for the unofficial start of summer, when we gear up for picnics, barbecues and our kids having more free time on their hands: Memorial Day kicks off what's known as 100 deadliest days for teen drivers. From Memorial Day through Labor Day in 2012, nearly 1,000 people were killed in crashes involving teen drivers, and more than 550 of those killed were teens, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data analyzed by the nonprofit National Safety Council. Some of the reasons for the spike make sense. Teens are driving more during the summer and it might be more recreational than purposeful, the National Safety Council reports. For instance, instead of driving back and forth to school, they might be driving to the beach, lake or river, and heading down roads they haven't driven before. But one of the biggest reasons for the summer risk increase is that teens might be driving more frequently with more of their friends. "We have always known that passengers were a big risk for teens, but what we're really finding out now is passengers may be one of the most important risks for teens, even more so than things like texting," said John Ulczycki, the National Safety Council's vice president of strategic initiatives. Think about it this way, Ulczycki said: Passengers are a distraction the entire time a teen is driving, whereas the distraction from texting is probably limited to the seconds or minutes they're looking at screens instead of the road. Passengers increase the risk of a teen driver having a fatal crash by at least 44%, according to the National Safety Council. "It's tragic that parents don't really appreciate the risks of passengers," said Ulczycki, who said parents may understand the risks of texting or cell phone use, but aren't as aware of the dangers of a new driver hitting the road with friends in the car. A majority of states have laws on the books regarding the number of passengers allowed for new drivers. Some states don't allow any for the first six months or year after getting a license; some allow one passenger. ''If you have a kid who had their license for less than one year, you have to think very, very carefully about the conditions or the situations in which you allow them to carry any passengers. You really do," Ulczycki said. CNN iReport: Parents of teens share driving tips . Ulczycki, a father of six in Wilmette, Illinois, didn't allow his children to drive with passengers for the first year of their official driving lives. "It was a real bone of contention," he said. "They weren't happy about it, but they all survived." A recent study found that loud conversations and horseplay between passengers were more likely than technology to result in a dangerous incident involving teen drivers. The study by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center tracked 52 high-school age drivers in North Carolina who agreed to have cameras installed in their cars. The study appeared in the Journal of Adolescent Health this spring. When there was loud conversation in the car, teen drivers were six times more likely to need to take actions like making an evasive maneuver to avoid a crash. When there was horseplay in the vehicle, they were three times more likely to get into a similarly serious episode, according to the study. "Forty-three states currently restrict newly licensed drivers from having more than one young passenger in their vehicle," Robert Foss, senior research scientist at the Highway Safety Research Center, and director of the Center for the Study of Young Drivers, said in a news release. "The results of this study illustrate the importance of such restrictions, which increase the safety of drivers, their passengers and others on the road by reducing the potential chaos that novice drivers experience." Earlier this year, we traveled to Roxbury, New Jersey, to talk with Barb Dunn, her husband and her 16-year-old son Daniel about how they were trying to teach Daniel about safety as he learns to drive. Daniel will get his license on June 3. When I recently got back in touch with Dunn about the dangers of the summer months, her anxiety went up. "My first reaction is fear. Then sadness," Dunn said via e-mail. "I just heard a similar statistic about prom night being a very dangerous time. ... I think we have to take the time to to talk to our children and remind them of the risks and talk about how to minimize them." Ulczycki of the National Safety Council said the best advice for parents is to understand the risks about passengers and drive with them so they can get accustomed to having people in the car. He also suggest parents consider the risks of driving at night. "It's not the time of night. It's how dark it is. That's really the risk here, and I think too many parents think of night driving as a social curfew. 'Well, I'll let my kid stay out until 11 p.m. so he's fine,' " Ulczycki said. "It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the risk of driving after dark." Annette DiCola Lanteri, a mom of two in Bayport, Long Island, has two girls who are still a few years away from driving age. The best thing parents can do, she said on Facebook, is to teach teen drivers the best we can. "Give them the most knowledge we can so that they can adequately protect themselves, then pray," DiCola Lanteri said. "There are so many variables and we only have so much control." What do you think is the best way to keep teen drivers safe this summer? Share your thoughts in the comments or tell Kelly Wallace on Twitter or CNN Living on Facebook.

Former armed forces chief Lord Richards said thousands more soldiers are needed . Thousands of extra British troops are needed to fight Islamist extremists around the world, the former head of the armed forces has warned. General Lord Richards said the Government sacked too many soldiers – leaving the Army unable to tackle ISIS and other fanatical groups. He also warned the Prime Minister that it would be a ‘tall order’ for the SAS to hunt down the British killer filmed beheading hostages Alan Henning and David Haines. His remarks came after David Cameron ordered Britain’s spy chiefs to find the ISIS killer known as ‘Jihadi John’ dead or alive. Speaking to the Andrew Marr show this morning, Lord Richards said: ‘Of course all of us in a visceral response to what's happened would like to see that,’ he said. ‘But as good as the SAS are, they are also rightly very cautious and I think to expect them to do that is a tall order and it needs to be part of this grander strategy.’ His remarks came after he attacked the Government’s military cuts, which will see the regular Army cut from 102,000 serving soldiers to just 82,000. The cuts will be partially offset by an increase in the size of the Army Reserve from 19,000 to 30,000. Lord Richards, who stepped down last year, said the present strength was too small to deal with what the Prime Minister has called a ‘generational struggle’ against Islamic extremists. ‘The reservist plan could yet be made to work within two or three years but we are now in a different era,’ Lord Richards told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show. ‘This needs to be put right quickly. If it can be then fine, I will go along with that solution. ‘But my instinct is it can't be and we need to go back to the drawing board and revise the size of the regular Army back up again. ‘If we are talking about a generational struggle, as I think the Prime Minister is and he is absolutely right ... then we need an Army that can sustain a demanding operation not just in Syria and Iraq potentially, in a support role, but think of all the other places where Muslim extremism is causing havoc.' He added: ‘I am thinking Nigeria, Kenya is very fragile, the countries around Syria that need more help like Jordan and obviously Iraq and perhaps Lebanon. And then you go into Afghanistan, Pakistan needs more assistance, even al Qaida leadership I saw talking about creating the same sort of problems in places like Myanmar. ‘We have to see the grand strategic challenge which is confronting us all now and that, I'm afraid, needs a grand strategic response of the type that our forebears dealt with.’ Lord Richards said it was a ‘no-brainer’ that UK operations should extend anti-IS operations from Iraq into Syria. ‘I am very clear that that is the view of the Prime Minister and most of his party. His problem is delivering the politics that allow us to do that,’ he said. He said not enough was being done to train Iraqi and Syrian ground forces to take on IS. ‘You either have to put your own boots on the ground at some point or else you have to very energetically and aggressively train up those who will do that with us and for us. My worry at the moment is that the scale of the challenge isn't being met by the right scale of response. ‘I am worried that without more intensive use of Western boots on the ground in a support role then we won't do it in the time we need to get on and do this in.’ David Cameron praised British soldiers on a surprise visit to Afghanistan last week. But he warned that the struggle against Islamist terror would last a 'generation' But, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said he disagreed with the former army chief’s remarks. He said Britain needed to take the threat from militant groups like IS ‘extremely seriously’, but added this may not necessarily require an increase in conventional forces. ‘How you respond to it is not quite as straightforward as David Richards - much though I respect him - suggests. I don't think it's a question of simply ramping up conventional armed forces again as if we were fighting state-to-state conflicts. ‘Increasingly what you are having is states co-operating together in a jigsaw operation where different countries bring to the effort different capabilities against stateless mobile groups.’ Asked about joining US-led air strikes in Syria, he told Marr: ‘I wouldn't advocate that we extend the air campaign into Syria. ‘It won't come to a vote unless the Government proposes it and the Government is not proposing it right now. ‘We need to persuade the British people and Parliament as well that every time we put servicemen and women in harm's way we do so with a clear strategy in mind, and I think the combination of air strikes and ground forces needs to be properly thought through. ‘That was obvious in Iraq, it's a little more complicated in Syria.’

(CNN) -- The legendary Jack Nicklaus may have won the most titles, a 21-year-old Tiger Woods may have been the youngest champion and Gary Player may have made the most appearances, but a little-known Chinese golfer will be added to the illustrious list of Masters record-holders on Thursday. For when Guan Tianlang steps onto the first tee, the Chinese teenager will become the youngest competitor -- at the age of 14 years and five months -- in the 80 years of the prestigious Augusta event, beating the previous record held by then 16-year-old Matteo Manassero. The boy who has been taking time out of school in his home city Guangzhou earned his place at golf's top table when, as the youngest player in the field, he beat a host of senior players to win last year's Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Thailand. He is just the latest of a small but expanding list of teenage -- and, remarkably, even pre-teen -- golfers to be impacting upon the highest echelons of golf, despite being drawn from a playing pool estimated to be no more than 600 teenage boys and girls. Guan was just 13 when he became the youngest player to ever contest a European Tour event in 2012, the same year that Andy Zhang, then 14, became the youngest player in the history of the U.S. Open -- while that year's Women's British Open found the youngest Chinese female golfer to ever contest a major, Jing Yan, then 16. Cultural Revolution . Just last month, all were slightly upstaged by Ye Wocheng, who became the youngest golfer to qualify for a European Tour event -- at the age of just 12. Yes, that's right. Twelve. "I don't think there's another country in the world that is putting as much into golf as China -- in terms of the resources, energy and money," says Michael Dickie, the Scotland-born head coach of China's women's Olympic team. "Look at most other countries, they support players as amateurs but the support stops once they get to pro -- then, they're on their own and have to do it themselves. "But our girls -- all they need to do is train. We do the logistics, which tournaments will suit them and where they should train. We also have a physio, fitness instructor, technical coaches and people arranging logistics, visa, flights and hotels. "And the state is paying for it all. It is like a monster sponsorship program." Of course, it wasn't always thus. Opinion: For Tiger, winning does take care of everything . During China's Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976, golf was considered to be too bourgeois a pastime and any existing courses were dug up, with the land returned to farmers. Eight years after Chairman Mao's death, though, the first modern-day golf course was built -- in 1984 -- even if there was still a reluctance to invest fully in the sport in the nominally communist nation. Eye-wateringly expensive . For with its 1.35 billion inhabitants representing nearly 20% of the world population -- yet the country's landmass amounting to just 6% of the planet's total land area -- land in China is decidedly scarce. So it makes no sense for politicians to allocate great swathes to golf courses, especially given ecological concerns -- primarily over water use -- that accompany their operational capacity and the association with the wealthy elite. While the number of courses has quietly tripled in the last decade to over 600, golf is still very much a minority sport and even though significant growth is expected with the expansion of a middle class predicted to have doubled its 2010 level of 52 million by 2015, the sport is still eye-wateringly expensive. So much so that a 2008 survey by professional services company KPMG established the average initiation cost of joining a Chinese golf club to be $53,000, with a regular round costing around $150 -- way beyond the reach of all but a fraction of the population. But help is at hand for some following a decision taken in 2009 in, of all places, the Danish capital Copenhagen. That was where the executive board of the International Olympic Committee voted to return golf to the Games in 2016 after a 112-year absence. Overnight, the Chinese government -- which boasts a long history of investing in Olympic sports -- finally had a reason to back golf. Although figures are hard to come by, the intensity of their training programs indicates just how seriously the Chinese are taking a potential fairway to medals. At his academy in Shanghai, Dickie has a team of 15 Olympic hopefuls, eight of whom attend full-time training, which is funded by a state who get value for money -- with the girls training six days a week if they are not contesting a tournament. "On a normal day, we get up at 0630 and do a fitness session for an hour," he says. "After breakfast, we train until midday, when we rest until 1400. "Then another two hours of training and then an hour of fitness training -- we are heavy on fitness training -- so it's three hours of fitness and five hours of golf. Quite intense." Chinese ambition . Improving the players' ranking is the major aim of the program, for the top 15 in the world gain automatic berths to Rio de Janeiro in 2016, following which another 45 competitors will be chosen -- with a maximum of two available players from each country that does not already have two or more players among the top 15. A further indication of the Chinese ambition is that Australian legend Greg Norman has been formally brought on board to advise and identify the country's best golf talent, which is largely drawn from privileged backgrounds -- for obvious reasons -- but he won't struggle with one name for the ladies category. Last year, Feng Shanshan -- now 23 -- became the first Chinese golfer to win a major when she claimed the LPGA Championship by two strokes, five years after she had earned her place on the LPGA Tour as a teenage amateur. Ranked No. 8 in the world, she does not train with the team in Shanghai but looks a certainty for Brazil -- especially since the next best Chinese female golfers are ranked 160th and 285th respectively, whose improvements represent the major challenge for Dickie, Norman and co. Those working on the country's male golfers have an even harder task, for there are only three Chinese in the top 500, with Liang Wenchong -- the 34-year-old whose best finish, by some distance, was eighth place in the 2010 U.S. PGA -- leading the way in 169th place. But it won't be long before the fruits of China's investment -- now reaching the grassroots for the first time -- will be clear for world golf fans to see, says a man who knows just a thing or two about the sport. "In China, they are incredibly passionate and you see how the game is growing," says Hank Haney, who coached Tiger Woods for six years and who now runs several golf schools. "I know from my academy that Asian golfers are incredibly great students -- they're very, very focused and without a doubt, we're going to see more and more great golfers coming from Asian. "It won't be long before China is a big part of that." Perhaps just as long as it takes for Guan Tianlang, Andy Zhang, Ye Wocheng and the rest to exit their teenage years.
Guan Tianlang will become the youngest player in Masters history on Thursday . Previous record held by then 16-year-old Italian Matteo Manassero . China is investing heavily in golf ahead of 2016 Olympics, says women's team coach . During China's Cultural Revolution, golf had been considered too bourgeois a pastime .

A disused London Underground station that was used as a Second World War command centre has been sold for £53million. Brompton Road Tube station, in an expensive corner of London near Harrods, was put on the market in September by the Ministry of Defence as part of cost-cutting efforts. Funds from the sale will go back into the defence budget, and the site is expected to be transformed into ultra-luxurious flats or houses. Scroll down for video . Sold by the MoD: The former Brompton Road Tube station will be turned into expensive luxury flats . The station, which lies on the Piccadilly Line, was closed in 1934 because of a lack of passengers . The station was reportedly used to interrogate Rudolf Hess after he was taken prisoner during WW2 . The identity of the buyer has not been revealed but a previous sale of the site, to a Ukrainian billionaire for £50million, is said to have fallen through. The former Tube station site, between the Brompton Oratory and Brompton Square, will be developed by Michael Spink, an Oxfordshire-based property tycoon who spent £42million developing a country estate near Henley before selling it to a Russian billionaire for £140million. Mr Spink told MailOnline he hoped to transform it into a 'very high quality residential development' and said that, allowing time for planning negotiations, he expected the project to take four or five years to complete. The Piccadilly Line station, which was designed by English architect Leslie Green, retains its original distinctive green and brown wall tiles - the hallmark of many of the Underground's historic stations. It was opened in 1906 but closed in 1934 after London Underground decided it was no longer financially viable. During the Blitz, the building was taken over by Winston Churchill's War Office and used to control anti-aircraft batteries to protect London from air raids. All change: The station will now be transformed by high-end property developer, Michael Spink . The £53million proceeds from the sale of the former station will go back into the Ministry of Defence's budget . Long way down: The Ministry of Defence bought the station in 1939 for £22,000 and have sold it for £53million . Hitler's right-hand man, Rudolf Hess, was reportedly interrogated there after he was taken prisoner during World War Two. The 28,000 sq ft property contains a drill hall, garages, offices and mess above ground and has recently been occupied by the London University Air Squadron (UAS), the London University Royal Naval Unit (URNU), and 46F Squadron Air Training Corps (Air cadets). There are also several underground areas, previously used as part of the former Brompton Road Underground station, but they have been left largely unused since the end of the Second World War. Today, the only remnants of the site's military past are a large map of London, the MoD said. It is working with the National Archives to make sure it is retained. Announcing the £53million sale, defence minister Andrew Murrison said: 'The Ministry of Defence is committed to selling off its surplus land and property in order to provide the best possible value for money to the taxpayer. 'At the same time we take our role as a custodian of the nation's history very seriously and have been working to record the historic significance of the building.' There are understood to be 32 ghost stations across London's underground network, abandoned over the years as lines were diverted or the number of passengers passing through dwindled.Like Brompton Road, many of the stations have links to the Second World War. Down Street - last used as a station in May 1932, became an air raid shelter after the war broke out, and Aldwych was used by thousands of Londoners during the Blitz.The empty station in Westminster has been used as a location for films including Atonement, V for Vendetta, Superman 4 and 28 Weeks Later.Other abandoned stations still remain at City Road, which was on the Northern Line until it closed its doors in 1922, Marlborough Road, which was on the Metropolitan Line, and South Kentish Town, which closed in 1924.York Road closed in 1932 because it was under-used, while North End is unique in that it is a closed Tube station that never actually opened.Intended to be the deepest station on the underground network, work on North End stopped in 1906 because it was not deemed financially viable.

(CNN) -- Check with your airline before you head to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport today. No, really. Airlines had canceled more than 3,200 flights within, into or out of the United States shortly before 10 p.m. ET, according to FlightAware.com. And many of those canceled flights involve the world's busiest -- but not the snowiest -- airport. The last time the Atlanta airport used its four snow plows to actually plow snow was the great snow storm of January 2011, said airport spokesman Reese McCranie. The airport also has six snow brooms, four de-icers, seven spreaders, 100,000 gallons of de-icing fluids, 50,000 pounds of de-icing solid material and 50,000 pounds of a salt/sand mix to clear roadways. Related: Deep freeze slams Deep South . As this latest winter storm crosses the country, flights at the Atlanta, Houston and Chicago airports have been the hardest hit by cancellations. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta is reporting 930 flights canceled, Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport is reporting 696 flights canceled and Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is reporting 548 flights canceled. The numbers of arriving and departing flights canceled are expected to increase. "Some planes are getting de-iced ... and we're also putting preventative de-icing material on the (five) runways," said Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport spokeswoman Darian Ward. The airport has shut down an above-ground train that ferries passengers between terminals. Instead, passengers are being asked to ride buses. Airport operations may return to normal soon if it warms up today, Ward said. #ATL24: A day in the life of the world's busiest airport . Chicago's O'Hare has been hit by airlines that are proactively canceling flights. O'Hare -- an airport with a bit of experience with snow removal -- reports only 15-minute delays for arrivals and departures. "Our snow operations teams are out and doing their jobs," said Karen Pride, Chicago's Department of Aviation spokeswoman. Cleveland weather isn't slowing down most flights, either. Thirty percent of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport's Tuesday flights -- mostly smaller aircraft -- have been canceled. "This is due to airline pull downs (reductions because of bad weather in other locations) and not because of weather," said airport spokeswoman Jacqueline Mayo. Call your airline to change your flight . Many airlines with flights departing and arriving at hardest-hit cities are offering flexible change policies for delayed customers. Check your airline website for more information. Delta Air Lines canceled more than 1,800 Delta and Delta Connection flights Tuesday, the vast majority at its Atlanta hub, said Delta spokesman Morgan Durrant. The nasty weather forced American Airlines to cancel about 350 flights Tuesday, mostly regional flights across the Gulf Coast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, an airline spokesman said. While declining to give specific numbers, United Airlines is "reducing operations at Houston Intercontinental Airport and other airports in the mid-South and Southeast regions today due to severe weather," said spokesman Charles Hobart, Tuesday. Citing near-record lows in the Midwest, United is also reducing operations Tuesday at their Chicago and Cleveland hubs and other Midwest airports. Make sure to confirm flights Wednesday . Depending on how-hard hit they are, Houston and Atlanta airports may still be recovering from storm conditions on Wednesday, said David Baker, FlightAware's chief executive officer. The Chicago and Cleveland airports could also face delays, depending on weather conditions in those Midwest cities. And what about your Amazon delivery? Severe winter may also affect the delivery of your packages. Remember how winter storms slowed pre-Christmas deliveries? FedEx, which is posting service alerts on its website, has already warned customers that hazardous conditions in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas may cause delays in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and 12 other states. UPS is reporting "severe weather impacts" in some of its delivery areas, according to company spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg. Check UPS.com to see which zip codes are affected. "We make every effort to maintain service as long as safety permits," she wrote, via email. "If deliveries are interrupted, we will resume service as soon as it is safe to do so."

It’s usually the biggest night out of the year – but three-quarters of us will stay at home this New Year’s Eve, says a survey. The high price of taxis, venue entry and drinks means the average New Year’s night out costs £73, leaving 37 per cent of us worrying about the budget. A survey of 1,000 people by Morrisons found that 31 per cent of those entertaining at home will ask friends to bring a dish or bottle each to save cash. Some 74 per cent of hosts want a stress-free night away from the oven, with 40 per cent serving a spread of party foods and only 11 per cent cooking a formal dinner. Morrisons predicts it will sell 15 million olives, 5.3 million sausage rolls and two million bottles of sparkling wine and champagne across the country. A separate survey by Post Office Home Insurance also found that one in 10 people were planning on not spending any money at all on New Year's Eve. The Post Office study of more than 2,000 people revealed revellers were planning to spend £50 typically on seeing in 2014, £9 less than they had budgetted for last year. Londoners are planning to spend the most celebrating the start of 2014 typically at £78, which is more than double the amount those living in Wales have set aside, at £37 on average. Paul Havenhand, head of insurance at Post Office, said: 'It seems most people are looking forward to a celebratory night in, rather than a 'big night out' this New Year, and many are also looking to spend less this year too.' Party time: A survey has found that three-quarters of people will stay at home this New Year's Eve . As well as saving money, those preferring to spend the evening at home will also avoid the wet and windy weather set to blight New Year's Eve for many parts of the UK. Up to 15mm of rain is predicted to fall across the land throughout the day on Tuesday and well in to the evening. Again, those in the west will be hit the worst - with forecasters at the Met Office saying those areas can expect 'much more'. There is 'no guarantee' rain will ease up before midnight, the weather service added. The Met Office said 'wet and windy conditions' were set to continue throughout New Years Eve and into New Years day.

By . Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor . PUBLISHED: . 11:04 EST, 5 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 11:32 EST, 5 August 2013 . Furious town hall leaders have accused ministers of risking ‘real and permanent damage’ to Britain’s high streets by suggesting empty shops be turned into homes, . Councils said the idea floated by Tory Nick Boles would lead some shopping hubs ‘being shut down forever’. The minister suggested that the high street is dead, and instead of trying to revive boarded up shops planning rules should be eased to allow them to be turned into houses. Empty shop on high streets, such as here in Margate, one of Mary Portas's 12 pilot towns, could be converted into affordable homes (file photo) The radical proposal from planning minister Mr Boles risked contradicting efforts by retail guru Mary Portas, who was hired by David Cameron to find a way of reviving dying town centres. As a result of her report some £1.2million of taxpayer money was shared out between 12 towns for initiatives to inject new life into their traditional shopping high streets. But Mr Boles suggested that internet shopping and changes in lifestyles and working patterns meant the traditional town centre was a thing of the past. 'We want to encourage local councils to . concentrate retail activity into the prime shopping streets in the heart . of their town centres and adopt a more relaxed approach to under-used . retail frontages,’ he said. Planning Minister Nick Boles said councils need to think 'creatively' about how to revive flagging High Streets . Local authorities would be given more freedom to convert shops into housing, with retail concentrated on one or two ‘prime streets’ to end the ‘long straggly shopping streets heading out of town’ But the idea was condemned by the Local Government Association, which accused Mr Boles of acting to kill off the high street altogether. Mike Jones, chairman of the LGA’s environment and housing board, said: ‘Councils are working locally to improve high streets. ‘This national intervention could undermine that and lead to some shopping hubs being shut down forever with residents and businesses left powerless to raise an objection. This could drain the life from our high streets. ‘Instead of risking real and permanent damage by imposing this on the whole country, government should trust local areas to decide for themselves where relaxing planning rules would be beneficial.’ He warned that the stripping away of planning rules will ‘undermine people’s right to have a say on significant changes to their local neighbourhoods and high streets’. Portas's key recommendations, which . included cutting business rates and putting a brake on new shopping . centres, have both been rejected. Mr Boles said that planners most respond 'creatively' to shifts in the way today's consumers shop. Allowing redundant shops to be converted into homes could ease pressure on greenfield sites for residential developments. Retail consultant Mary Portas became a Government advisor on how to rescue the High Street, but many of her key recommendations have been ignored . The planning minister said: 'People' s shopping habits are changing very fast as a result of the rise in internet shopping and changes in lifestyles and working patterns . 'We need to think creatively about how to help town centres thrive in this new era. 'We want to encourage local councils to concentrate retail activity into the prime shopping streets in the heart of their town centres and adopt a more relaxed approach to under-used retail frontages.'Ms Portas expressed concern that councils would choose the 'easy option' of turning units into housing and said that losing the high street would be 'one of the greatest social crimes in our country.' Mr Boles also indicated that councils are to be encouraged to allow farmers to convert old agricultural buildings into homes. 'We want to make the best use of existing buildings in the countryside to meet the desperate need for affordable housing in rural communities,' he said. 'The more redundant barns that can be converted into homes for young families, the more we can protect green fields from development.' Earlier this week, a Chocalatier forced by soaring costs to shut his flagship shop warned that the British high street is almost dead. Simon Dunn, whose store was in Chancellor George Osborne’s constituency, says small businesses are being forced out as their profits are squeezed. He was left with £100 for himself ‘in . a good week’ after paying rent, business rates and wages, leading him . to warn: ‘Before long all that will be left on the British high street . is Tesco, Costa and charity shops – it’s just impossible for people like . me to keep our heads above the water.’ ‘I’m afraid independent traders on the high street just don’t have a chance these days in this tough current economic climate. ‘My . shop was in George Osborne’s constituency [Tatton]. He ought to know . the importance of independent businesses and try to do something to help . us. It’s the rising cost of everything that is affecting business . owners like me. ‘The sad part of it is that we’re not . the only business that’s having to do this. It’s a national problem . that is affecting every high street. 'On . a good week we were left with £100-a-week profit and it was just not . worth it. There seems to be no incentive to operate as an independent on . the high street these days. Chocolatier Simon Dunn warned that the High Street is nearly dead following the closure of his flagship shop in Wilmslow, Cheshire . ‘I have to turn over a certain amount just to keep moving, but if I go over that amount suddenly I find myself in a position where I can be taxed more. It’s as though business owners are punished for being successful.’ He will now concentrate on the business’s online operation. Ms Portas condemned the Government over a decision to allow Tesco to build a vast new supermarket on the seafront at Margate, one of her pilot towns, in June and accused the Government of 'paying lip service' to the idea of regenerating high streets. She has become an outspoken champion of . small retailers and fought to try and revive town centres ravaged by the . impact of large supermarkets. However, she has effectively been . overruled by the equally combative Eric Pickles, the Secretary for . communities and local government, who has approved the Margate scheme. The . new Tesco, which had been fought by local residents and traders, will . be a massive 82,000 square feet and sit on what is a key site on the . seafront. Councils will be urged to concentrate shops into a main retail area and convert empty units into homes (file photo) The news will confirm suspicions that . the original decision to hire Portas was more of a publicity stunt than a . genuine attempt to help struggling high streets. In April, Ms Portas accused the . former Tesco boss, Sir Terry Leahy, of talking ‘crap’ when he described . the rise of supermarkets as progress. She . said: ‘That's absolutely crap. What happens is that 50p of every pound . is spent on food. 'If you take that off the high street and put it into a . 40,000ft out-of-town store and you provide free parking and everything . under one roof, then you start to take away not only the food shops, but . also the chemist, the fashion shops, the butcher… you start to displace . the whole high street.’ A Treasury spokesman said: ‘Small businesses are the backbone of the British economy. ‘We know for many that times have been tough. The Government has focused what help we can give on small businesses.’ Small businesses have been hit by a double whammy of punishing business rates and a persistent reluctance from banks to lend to them, writes Matt Chorley, MailOnline's Political Editor. The economic recovery has continued since the start of the year - growth hit 0.6 per cent the three months to June, double the rate seen in the first quarter. But even with more customers willing to spend, many small firms are struggling to make ends meet. Latest figures show banks cut back lending to small business in 80 per cent of the country's 120 postcodes from 2011 to 2012. Only 22 towns and cities saw lending increase, despite government pressure on the banks to increase funding for struggling companies. Business Secretary Vince Cable said it was 'frustrating'. At the same time business rates charges imposed by councils on company premises wipe out a growing slice of any profits. The Federation of Small Business found one in 14 companies now spend more on business rates than on rent. With another rise in rates due in September, it is feared more companies could go bust.
Nick Boles said council should concentrate shops in 'prime' locations . But Local Government Association warned it would cause 'real damage' £1.2m was given to 12 towns to help high streets but many are struggling . Key advice from retail guru Mary Portas's report have been ignored .

It should be straightforward: Arsenal head to Wembley in top form, Hull have been struggling, so Arsene Wenger, in all likelihood, will land that elusive trophy. Right? Wrong. Cup finals never play out as smoothly as you hope. Tensions and anxieties have a habit of affecting performances and Wenger will be aware that the  biggest threat to his ambitions comes from within. In many ways, Arsenal are the ones who will stop Arsenal winning. Complacency, more than anything, is their biggest opponent now and the comfortable 3-0 win they recorded at Hull last month might actually jeopardise their chances, rather than providing a pointer to success. Reason to be cheerful: Arsenal are big favourites to beat Hull at Wembley and win the FA Cup . Relaxed: Jack Wilshere and Co were all smiles in training ahead of the final at Wembley . Head up: Arsene Wenger hopes to end Arsenal's nine-year wait for a trophy on Saturday . Liverpool . were in a similar position in 2006. We went to the last FA Cup final at . the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as long odds-on favourites to brush . aside West Ham and the vast majority who tuned in thought it would be a . formality. Nobody . said anything like that in our dressing room. There was no sign of . cockiness or arrogance but, deep down, maybe we believed that would be . the case, too. After all, we had enjoyed a strong finish to the . Barclays Premier League  campaign, including a comfortable 2-1 win over . West Ham. Rafa . Benitez made a number of changes that night at Upton Park but, even . though we finished with 10 men after Luis Garcia was sent off, we were . never seriously pressed. With our strongest team out in Cardiff three . weeks later, it should have been a breeze. How wrong we were. For some reason, we never got going and paid the heaviest price for a dreadful start,  trailing 2-0. Maybe . subconsciously we were overconfident and only an extraordinary . performance from Steven Gerrard helped save the day, as we scrambled . over the line on penalties. So . the warning signs are there. What also prevents you having unshakeable . confidence in Arsenal is previous games of this nature: the ghosts of . the 2011 League  Cup final against Birmingham still haunt Wenger, while . they struggled to get past Wigan in this year’s semi-final. They . needed penalties to win then, having looked at one point as if they . would crash out. It should also be remembered Arsenal have yet to win a . game outright at the new Wembley, having lost a 2009 FA Cup semi-final . to Chelsea. If . this were a Premier League game, you wouldn’t foresee anything other . than an Arsenal win as Wenger’s side have been ruthlessly efficient in . dispatching inferior opponents, but the stage, the stakes and the . pressure mean there have to be doubts on Saturday afternoon. Nightmare: The last time Arsenal reached a Wembley final, they lost 2-1 to Birmingham in the League Cup . Underdogs: Birmingham lifted the Carling Cup to extend Arsenal's trophy-less stretch . Rounded: Didier Drogba scores for Chelsea against Arsenal in the 2009 FA Cup semi-final at Wembley . For . Hull to win, they need to make it a physical game, as Arsenal still . fail to deal with such demands. They will miss their cup-tied strikers, . Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long, but perhaps it will give Steve Bruce the . chance to spring a surprise with his tactics. He has used a three-man . defence at times this season but will he change to accommodate whoever . plays up front? Bruce . will have Jake Livermore and Tom Huddlestone, two former Tottenham men, . sitting in the engine room, trying to orchestrate a win. If they can . launch counter-attacks, Arsenal might find themselves in difficulty. If . Hull were to open the scoring, it would really test the character of . Wenger’s men. Arsenal . are guaranteed to have plenty of possession, but if Hull get everyone . behind the ball, it won’t be easy for the favourites to find a way . through — Wembley is a slow pitch and requires patience, which is why . the first goal will be crucial. Any doubts Arsenal have about themselves . will surface if they go behind. Back to fitness: Aaron Ramsey was on the scoresheet as Arsenal cruised past Hull in their Premier League clash . Making plans? A sign in Islington watns of road closures the day after the FA Cup final . In charge: Hull manager Steve Bruce has led his team to Premier League safety and the cup final . However, . with Aaron Ramsey back and in great form — where would the title have . gone had he stayed fit? — Arsenal should win and it would be nice to see . Wenger lift a trophy once more after all he has done for our game. I . have the utmost respect and admiration for him and his reign needs . another moment to savour before he moves on. Equally, . there are few English managers in the game with trophies on their CV. Looking at the final Premier League table, it was  alarming to realise . that of the 20 managers who finished the season, only five were English . and none has lifted a major honour. Delight: Liverpool were given a huge scare before beating West Ham on penalties in the 2006 FA Cup final . Late and great: Steven Gerrard's injury-time strike rescued Liverpool as they won on penalties . Pushed aside: Hull City will be without cup-tied striker Nikica Jelavic at Wembley . End of season: Striker Shane Long will also miss the showpiece in north London . Bruce, who has done an excellent job this season, now has a glorious opportunity to put that right.Given . the influx of foreign owners and coaches, it would be fitting to see . him hoist the trophy and join a select group who have won the FA Cup as a . player and manager. There . is no doubt Bruce has been deeply disappointed with the way Hull’s form . has tailed off. Wembley has clearly been a distraction. Should . Arsenal take their eye off the ball, though, they will be wound . up to take advantage — and make sure it is anything but straightforward. Engine: Tom Huddlestone (left) and Jake Livermore (right) will be at the heart of Hull's midfield . On board: Livermore leads the Hull players onto their flight at Humberside Airport . Farewell to the peerless Puyol . The curtain comes down this weekend on the career of Carles Puyol, one of the  all-time great defenders. Puyol’s retirement will be a blow to everyone at Barcelona. The club are losing an icon, his  team-mates are losing a leader and the supporters are losing a player who represented their values. Tiki-taka is the term you associate with Barcelona but you wouldn’t necessarily use that to describe Puyol, who is tough, uncompromising with an indomitable spirit. Those qualities, however, are what I believe made him special. Playing as a central defender for Barcelona cannot be easy. Yes, they are a great team, but the way they attack leaves defenders exposed and it speaks volumes for his ability that he was as important to Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering team as Xavi, Leo Messi and Andres Iniesta. He was the man of steel who led them into battle. Goodbye: Barcelona will bid farewell to Carles Puyol at the end of this season . Glittering: Puyol won six La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues with the Catalans . Having . won almost every major honour in football — the Europa League is all . that is missing from what would be the perfect set — Puyol bows out with . one of finest CVs you could wish to see and he is the perfect example . to every player of what you can achieve if you have desire, persistence . and are prepared to work. He . always had a ferocious will to win and determination — and don’t . underestimate the influence he had on the magicians around him. As someone who played in my position, Puyol will forever have my respect.

The number of gadgets and sleeping aids that flood the travel market is enough to bewilder even the most experienced travellers, but a new sleep mask is here to help. Finnish brand Active Ally Oy has come up with a new solution to an old problem. Designers have developed a sleeping mask, Relax ALLY, that fastens to the seat behind you and prevents your head from lolling forwards or too far sideways while you snooze. Scroll down for video . Best ideas are the simplest: Finnish brand Active Ally Oy has designed a new travel and sleep aid . Fully adjustable: The ergonomic position helps you to fall asleep and allows the muscles to relax . According to the brand, which launched in November 2012, the ergonomic position helps you to fall asleep and allows muscles to relax, preventing micro trauma, prolonged flexion and resulting stiffness and pain to the neck and shoulders. It’s fully adjustable, designed to prolong sleep and costs €39 (£30). Better yet, it should prevent that awkward moment when you awake and realise you’ve nodded off on a stranger’s shoulder. Integrated features include; a restband for better ergonomics, a sleeping mask to exclude light and a pocket with earplugs for isolating noise. The Relax ALLY travel restband has been sold in over twenty countries but now the company wants to grow globally and is looking for equity investors through the international FundedByMe crowdfunding platform. Looking for investment: The brand is hoping to raise funds through FundedByMe crowdfunding platform . Sleep sound: So far 15 per cent of the total has been raised of the total €100,000 needed . This €100,000 (£80,000) crowdfinding round would help unlock up to €300,000 (£240,000) for operational use to support development and international growth around the EU and USA, then Asia. So far, 15 per cent of the total has been raised, with 42 days left to go. ‘The problem is simply huge and for some reason people just seems to have accepted it. We wanted to wake-up people by releasing the campaign during the Halloween week with a themed travel nightmare introduction video, and show them a viable solution with huge potential says Mr. Lasse Korvala, CEO of Active Ally Oy’

A state-backed mortgage guarantee scheme worth £130billion will see the market flooded with 500,000 cheap loans. The Government is to subsidise deposits and provide state backing for loans to help homebuyers get on the property ladder or move up. But there were warnings that the scheme risks creating a house price bubble. Scroll down for video . Dangerous? Critics fear that offering government-back mortgages to people who cannot afford a deposit could fuel a new property crisis . The Help to Buy scheme will offer . loans to top up the deposits of those buying newly built properties . worth up to £600,000 who can only put up 5 per cent of the loan . themselves. The Treasury will add an extra 20 per . cent of the house value to enable them to get a mortgage. The first . five years of the loan will be interest free. After that it will attract . a 1.75 per cent payment, which will rise annually by inflation plus 1 . per cent. Chancellor George Osborne is expected to unveil more help for homebuyers and extra investment in housebuilding . Borrowers will be able to apply from . April 1 and be able to repay the loan at any point. This part of the . scheme is worth £3.5billion. The second, bigger, part – available . from next January – will guarantee £130billion of mortgages on any . property, not just newbuild, worth up to £600,000. The scheme will be available for mortgages of between 80 per cent and 95 per cent of the home value. So for someone able to muster a 5 per . cent deposit, the Government would put in 15 per cent, to enable the . homebuyer to access an 80 per cent mortgage loan. If a borrower’s property is repossessed, the Government will bear a proportion of the losses, with the lender taking the rest. The Treasury says all major lenders have agreed to take part in the scheme. On top of this, the Chancellor . announced that more Funding for Lending cash may be made available to . the banks, which could also push rates down lower. Changes to the Bank of England’s . remit, meanwhile, could allow it to give guarantees to borrowers that . interest rates would be low for years to come. Last night Chief Secretary to the . Treasury Danny Alexander refused to say what would happen if property . prices collapse, though he admitted there were ‘risks’ with the scheme. ‘What we are doing is supporting . housebuilders to build more homes, support those hundreds of thousands . of people who can afford mortgage repayments to buy a home but not the . deposit,’ he said. Example: The proposed scheme is split into two separate streams, the first (above) for buyers purchasing new build homes and the second (below) for everyone else . The scheme, which will run for three years, can only be extended if the Bank of England agrees. Ashley Hollinshead, of accountants . Deloitte, said: ‘This move is interesting as for the first time it . attacks every level of the housing ladder, from first-time buyers to . those moving in to a bigger family home. ‘The guarantee could prove extremely effective as it will provide banks with confidence that is desperately needed.’ David Hollingworth, of brokers London . & Country, said: ‘If you are looking to buy a house then there . really could not have been a bigger carrot waved by the Government.’ Changes: The government offered more backing for housebuilding, after figures from the Office for National Statistics showed a sharp drop in output from the construction industry . Sea change: Ministers believe cash-strapped second-steppers are holding up the housing market, and making it harder for first-time buyers to get on to the property ladder . In the last housing boom more than . four million mortgages were taken out every year – but this slumped to . little over a million last year. Latest figures from the Council of . Mortgage Lenders show that roughly two in every three loans taken out . are for borrowers who have a deposit of at least 25 per cent of the . value of their home. A typical three-year fixed rate for . someone with a 25 per cent deposit costs 2.59 per cent, giving monthly . repayments on a typical £150,000 loan of £680. But someone with a 5 per cent deposit . would have to pay a rate of 6.19 per cent and repayments of £984, . making this deal £3,684 more expensive over just one year. These steep costs are putting off . first time buyers and, increasingly, those already on the ladder who . want to move to a bigger property. A housing boom gives a huge boost to . the economy. Not only does it increase consumer confidence, but those . moving home add to the tax take by paying stamp duty, and spend on . removals firms, decorators, furniture and DIY materials. Immediately after the Budget, the share prices of developers soared by as much as 7 per cent. But a spokesman for Priced Out, which campaigns for more affordable . housing, said the scheme will ‘push house prices even higher and will . help create a bigger housing crisis in a few years’ time’. David Orr, of the National Housing Federation, said: ‘If we don’t tackle . the fact we’re still not building enough homes, we’ll just create . another housing bubble that will continue to push house prices up and . out of reach of the majority.’ Can I buy a house using Help to Buy? If you have a 5% deposit and want to buy a new build home, you’ll be able to access the Help to Buy: equity loan scheme from 1 April 2013. If you want to buy a property which is either new build or an existing property, the Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee will be available from January 2014. What if I don’t have a deposit – can I still get a mortgage? To access a Help to Buy product, buyers will need a minimum 5% deposit. Am I guaranteed to get a mortgage? Are there any criteria I need to meet? For both schemes, borrowers will need to meet appropriate tests to ensure they can pay back the mortgage, as well passing their chosen lender’s credit and affordability checks. How much can I borrow? Subject to meeting the eligibility criteria and affordability checks, you’ll be able to use either Help to Buy scheme to purchase a property with a value up to £600,000. Can existing homeowners access the scheme? Yes. Both schemes are available to home movers as well as first-time-buyers, subject to meeting the relevant eligibility criteria. Can I get an interest only mortgage using Help to Buy? Help to Buy is only available on capital repayment mortgages. Can I buy a property using Help to Buy and rent it out? Help to Buy will only be available on properties which are occupied by the individual or individuals taking out the mortgage. How do I go about accessing these schemes? Help to Buy: equity loan will be available from 1 April 2013. Buyers will be able to access this through participating housebuilders and HomeBuy agents. Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee will be available from January 2014. The Government will provide further details about the scheme later in the year. Will the Government be guaranteeing my mortgage payments for me? No. The Government will provide guarantees to lenders on a proportion of the mortgage. If a borrower’s property is repossessed, the Government will cover a proportion of the losses suffered by lenders.

This is the hilarious moment a teenage boy ranted about Beyonce after having his wisdom teeth removed under anesthesia. Cody Lanphere, 17, was filmed by his mother, Christine Weber Livingston, as they drove home to Benson, North Carolina, on Monday following the surgery.

Seconds later, he started clutching at his chest, prompting Ms Livingston to say: 'What are you looking for?' In response, the panicked teenager asked: 'Where's my heart?' Unable to contain her laughter, his mother replied: 'Your heart is in your chest. They didn't take your heart. They only took your teeth.'

(pictured) Ms Livingston told the broadcaster her son had taken Valium before the surgery, so had been 'a little loopy' before his wisdom teeth were even removed. 'My son has never had surgery he has never had drugs or anything, so this is quite a reaction to say the least,' she said. Several hours after the removal, Cody tweeted: 'My loopy drugs have finally worn off! I'm back to regular Cody! I'm in some pain, so pray for a speedy recovery!'.

Sea captains have reported ‘funeral processions’ and grieving behaviour in bottlenosed dolphins . And now a new study suggests that Atlantic spotted dolphins also mourn the death of their offspring. Scientists reported four adult dolphins ‘displaying nurturant behaviour’ by supporting a dead calf in the waters off Madeira. A new study suggests that Atlantic spotted dolphins (stock image) mourn the death of offspring. Scientists reported four adult dolphins ‘displaying nurturant behaviour’ by supporting a dead calf in the waters off Madeira, as well as another instance of the behaviour . A group of researchers from the University of Porto, Portugal, studied two instances of nurturing and seemingly sympathetic behaviour. The first was noted by the operator of a tourist boat and recorded four adult dolphins supporting the body of a dead calf using their backs and heads, which continued for half an hour before the group moved on, Wired reported. The second was seen by staff on a research vessel. They said that one dolphin, thought to be a mother, was supporting a dead calf on the water’s surface. ‘The in situ observations show that adult Atlantic spotted dolphins try to support their dead calves at surface, either involving a single individual (presumably the mother) or several individuals,’ the researchers wrote in the study, published in Acta Ethologica. ‘The in situ observations show that adult Atlantic spotted dolphins try to support their dead calves at surface, either involving a single individual (presumably the mother) or several individuals,’ the researchers wrote in the study. A stock image of an Atlantic spotted dolphin is shown . The first instance of nurturing behaviour was noted by the operator of a tourist boat and recorded adult dolphins supporting the body of a dead calf using their backs and heads, which continued for half an hour before the group moved on. The second, was seen by staff on a research vessel. They said that one dolphin, thought to be a mother, was supporting a dead calf on the water’s surface. Post mortem examinations were carried out on the dolphin carcasses described in the study, as well as two other dead calves, which were found floating alone nearby. They revealed that the four calves died from natural causes and not from predation or violent pod behaviour. ‘The highly fresh condition of the carcasses suggests that the adults abandon them after a short period of time (hours),’ according to the study. Filipe Alves, who led the study, said there are records of other dolphin species carrying the carcasses of their young for days, but Atlantic spotted dolphins seem to mourn their young quickly, long before they start to decompose. Bottlenosed dolphins, sea otters, harbour seals, apes and elephants are among the animals believed to grieve for dead family members. Although this is difficult to prove, Dr Alves thinks that Atlantic spotted dolphins join the emotionally intelligent group. He said he believes that animals such as elephants and pilot wales that spend a lifetime together – sometimes over 60 years – ‘can grieve’. Bottlenosed dolphins, sea otters, harbour seals, apes and elephants are among the animals believed to grieve for dead family members. Here, a two-year-old calf called Jumaane grieves his dead mother . In spring 2013, the captain of a tourist boat encountered a dolphin carrying her dead calf using her dorsal fin, through the water. Dave Anderson, who saw the sad event off the coast of Dana Point, California, said he had never seen anything like it in his 20 years at sea. In spring 2013, the captain of tourist boat encountered a dolphin carrying her dead calf using her dorsal fin (pictured), through water off the coast of Dana Point, California . 'Nor have I ever seen anything quite as moving as this mother who refuses to let go of her poor calf,' he wrote on his YouTube channel. 'Did mom start off helping her weak, sick offspring swim to the surface to breathe for days till the tiny dolphin died? 'When will she give up on her calf? Will she continue carrying her deceased on her back until the carcass begins to disintegrate?' The sad behaviour has been seen before in bottlenosed dolphins, a few of which have been recorded carrying dead calves even after they started to decompose.
Scientists from the University of Porto, Portugal, reported adult Atlantic spotted dolphins off the coast of Madeira displaying nurturing behaviour . They supported a dead calf with their heads and backs, before moving on . Post-mortem examinations found adults likely abandon bodies after a short period of time, unlike some other species that carry dead young for days . While it's hard to prove, the lead researcher thinks the dolphins grieve .

(CNN) -- Need more evidence that Facebook's real-name-only policy has its flaws? Well, here you go: . A few days ago, Facebook allegedly kicked famous author Salman Rushdie off of its social network, and then asked him to change his posted name to Ahmed if he wanted to return. Rushdie -- known for his outspokenness -- went on a rant about the incident on Twitter, where he has more than 100,000 followers. Facebook eventually "buckled," he wrote Monday. Here's a play-by-play of what happened, according to Rushdie's Twitter feed, which I condensed: . "Amazing. 2 days ago FB deactivated my page saying they didn't believe I was me. I had to send a photo of my passport page," he wrote. "Then they said yes, I was me, but insisted I use the name Ahmed which appears before Salman on my passport and which I have never used. "Now they have reactivated my FB page as 'Ahmed Rushdie,' in spite of the world knowing me as Salman. Morons. @MarkZuckerbergF? Are you listening?" Facebook did not respond to CNN's request for comment on the incident. On Tuesday, his Facebook page, with "Salman" as his first name, appeared to have been reactivated by the social network. Rushdie rose to international notoriety in the 1980s after his novel, "The Satanic Verses," stirred protests throughout the Muslim world. The Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran issued a fatwa against Rushdie because of the book. His recent tussle raises issues with Facebook's policy of requiring people to use their real names when registering with the social network. People who don't use their real names are found to be out of compliance with Facebook's rules and can have their accounts deactivated. "Facebook users provide their real names and information, and we need your help to keep it that way," Facebook's terms of service document says. Rushdie's situation shows how difficult it can be for people to prove who they are. He submitted his passport to Facebook, he wrote, and still had problems. Supporters of democratic protests in the Middle East and elsewhere have criticized Facebook and other social networks like Google+ for their real-name policies, saying they prevent people from organizing against authoritarian governments that could use a network like Facebook to crack down. If they could use pseudonyms, they would be safer, some say. "There are myriad reasons why individuals may wish to use a name other than the one they were born with," Jillian York wrote on the Electronic Frontier Foundation's blog in July. "They may be concerned about threats to their lives or livelihoods, or they may risk political or economic retribution. They may wish to prevent discrimination or they may use a name that's easier to pronounce or spell in a given culture." Facebook always has maintained its position as an "identity network." A core philosophy of the site is that people should be themselves -- and should be accountable for their posts with their real names. Rushdie's case shows how tricky enforcement can be, though. "This is the sort of thing that makes you wonder what real names policy is all about," Alexis Madrigal wrote on The Atlantic's website. He added: "Seriously, what is the point of forcing Salman Rushdie to go by Ahmed Rushdie? How does this benefit the social Web?" Rushdie taunted Facebook on Twitter before the site relented and reposted his page. "Dear #Facebook, forcing me to change my FB name from Salman to Ahmed Rushdie is like forcing J. Edgar to become John Hoover," he wrote. "Or, if F. Scott Fitzgerald was on #Facebook, would they force him to be Francis Fitzgerald? What about F. Murray Abraham?" He later declared his win over the social network: . "Victory! #Facebook has buckled! I'm Salman Rushdie again. I feel SO much better. An identity crisis at my age is no fun. Thank you Twitter!"
Author Salman Rushdie takes to Twitter to protest Facebook . The social network wanted him to change his posted name to Ahmed, he says . Facebook requires users to go by their real names . Rushdie is famous for "The Satanic Verses" and several other works .

The SNP First Minister has been demanding that the 2014 vote should be extended to 16 and 17-year-olds –encouraged by research suggesting that younger age groups were more likely to be in favour of devolution. However, a survey by The Mail on Sunday in Scotland found that the teens questioned – who will be 16 or 17 in 2014 – are overwhelmingly in favour of keeping the Union. 'Slump': Lack of support for devolution among teens will be a disappointment to First Minister Alex Salmond, seen at a pro-independence rally in Edinburgh . According to the poll, only 26 per cent of them would back independence – even fewer than the 27 per cent rating recorded among adults in another recent survey by this newspaper. The SNP has long viewed young voters as a crucial part of its strategy to overturn decades-old resistance to independence from the majority of Scots voters. Scottish Secretary Michael Moore will tomorrow hold talks with the SNP about plans for the referendum. Until now, the Government has been resistant to lowering the voting age – but the poll findings could persuade them to adopt a more flexible approach. Polling expert Professor John Curtice said: ‘This shows the assumptions made by some that younger voters tend towards independence is some way out. ‘The crucial group are those over the age of 60, who are more inclined to vote. We may yet see a deal which extends the franchise for the referendum but we don’t know if the people in this category will turn up and vote, as turnout among younger voters is traditionally low.’ An SNP spokesman said: ‘The SNP will engage positively with our young people ahead of the referendum as we have a positive message to communicate.’

MAN CITY MUST DOMINATE IN EUROPE TO KEEP SHEIKH MANSOUR SATISFIED . JENKINSON, GAYLE AND WICKHAM DESERVE ENGLAND RECOGNITION . In May 2013 Ashley Cole left the Wembley pitch having captained England against the Republic of Ireland. He said this: 'It’s a very proud moment for me and one I’ll never forget. I wanted to be captain, it was a dream come true. I’ve lived a little boy’s dream today.' Less than a year on Cole has retired from international football, after he got the dreaded call from Roy Hodgson, telling him he wouldn’t be going to the World Cup. Where did it all go wrong? I blame Jose Mourinho – he’s had a detrimental effect on Cole’s career twice now, and that’s sackable in my book. VIDEO Scroll down to watch 'Jose: I don't know if Terry, Lampard and Cole are finished' Dream come true: Ashley Cole is presented with a golden cap by England manager Roy Hodgson to mark a century of caps for the national team prior to the friendly with the Republic of Ireland last May . Lionheart: Cole has been England's first choice left-back for a decade but announced his international retirement after being omitted from the World Cup squad . Ruined: Jose Mourinho ended Cole's World Cup chances by making him a bit-part player at Chelsea this season . Cole was a marauding, dynamic, attacking full-back at Arsenal. He was sometimes the Gunners’ biggest threat – here’s one example: he was described as Arsenal’s 'most menacing attacker' when he got the winner at Manchester City in September 2004, which is incredible when you think that Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, Freddie Ljungberg and Jose Antonio Reyes were all playing that day. Cole claimed Arsenal went back on a promise so off he went to Chelsea where Mourinho barely let him go over the halfway line. He regularly got into the opposition box at Arsenal – he has never scored for a Mourinho team. Cole’s game changed – he won medals at Chelsea of course, but his development hasn't reached a high level - he should have gone on to be the very best attacking full-back in the world for a decade. Danger man: Cole was described as the 'most menacing attacker' on the field when Arsenal won 1-0 at Manchester City back in September 2004 (pictured) On the rampage: Cole in action for England during a World Cup qualifier with Wales at Old Trafford in 2004 . Forward thinker: Cole takes on the Albanian defence in a World Cup qualifier back in March 2001 . Mourinho returned and single-handedly wrecked any chance Cole had of going to another World Cup. He picked a right-back at left-back, leaving Ashley out in the cold. Sure, Azpilicueta had a good season, but ultimately Chelsea had an unsuccessful season. Was it worth it? What point was Jose making by leaving Cole out? Cole played over 50 games in 2012-13, and ended the season as England captain. He had no reason to think a year on he wouldn’t be a Chelsea regular, and wouldn’t be going to the World Cup. Competition: Cole's place at left-back has been taken by Cesar Azpilicueta this season, a natural right-back . Solid: The Spaniard has adapted well to the Premier League and Cole has been unable to regain his place . When he looks back on his career, Cole will be able to count a lot of medals – he has won everything the club game can bring. But he will also realise Mourinho ruined his career not once, but twice. I’m gutted for Cole, I’ve interviewed him a few times but I don’t know him as a person. As a footballer he has amazing talent. Mourinho has robbed him of the chance to be the undisputed best player in his position in the world by not allowing him to express himself on the pitch. And now the Chelsea manager has robbed Cole of a chance to play at another World Cup.
Ashley Cole announced his retirement from England duty . Chelsea defender was left out of Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad . Left-back has been shackled by Jose Mourinho's tactics . Chelsea manager has favoured right-back Cesar Azpilicueta in Cole's role .

'Her hair had been washed and she did look really beautiful.' Kent Police confirmed it is looking into the circumstances surrounding the teenagers sudden death.
