London (CNN) -- Henry V rallies his troops in William Shakespeare's play of the same name before the Battle of Agincourt with these words: "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more... When the blast of war blows in our ears then initiate the action of the tiger. Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood." King Henry's call to action is cited as one of the most motivational speeches in history, and the British Army would no doubt have hoped for similarly inspiring words and good PR from his namesake descendant, Prince Harry, in interviews timed to coincide with his departure from Afghanistan. But as the prince recalled the "taste of blood" in his mouth as he waited to attack Taliban insurgents from his helicopter gunship, his comments appear to have stirred up as much mockery and controversy as sympathy. Prince Harry on Afghan mission: 'Take a life to save a life' The third-in-line to the British throne, known in the military as Captain Wales, also compared having his finger on the trigger of rockets, missiles and a 30mm cannon to playing video games. "It's a joy for me. I am one of those people who loves playing Playstation and XBox and so I am good with my thumbs, I like to think that I am quite useful." In Afghanistan, the media-savvy Taliban seized on the remarks and called Harry a "coward" for only speaking when he was out of danger. "This prince comes and compares this war with his games, PlayStation or whatever he calls it," Zabihullah Mujahid told the Daily Telegraph. "To describe the war in Afghanistan as a game demeans anyone -- especially a prince, who is supposed to be made of better things." Even an Afghan parliamentarian admitted Harry's comments could risk damaging relations. Sharifullah Kamawal told the newspaper: "This makes the withdrawal process much faster, because for now half of the people say the foreign forces must stay for longer, but if they say these kind of things then more people will want them to go home." Prince Harry also appeared to acknowledge that he killed insurgents on his four-month tour of duty in Helmand Province. He said it was sometimes justified to "take a life to save a life. That's what we revolve around, I suppose." "Our job out here is to make sure the guys are safe on the ground and if that means shooting someone who is shooting at them, then we will do it." The comments set social media alight, with comments both in favour and critical of the prince. The British tabloids also splashed the story about him across their front pages: The Sun's headline was: "Harry kills Taliban chief: Hero prince in missile strike on commander" In Britain, the Stop the War Coalition criticized the 28-year-old's comments as "crass" and questioned how he knew those he'd killed were actually members of the Taliban. "In recent months many civilians have been killed by air strikes. This arrogant and insensitive attitude to killing Afghans, whoever they are, is hardly likely to win hearts and minds -- a supposed aim of the war," said the group's convener Lindsey German. In the Guardian, one commentator mocked Harry's language. "This is Captain Wales's new incarnation: Killer Captain!" wrote Hadley Freeman. Referring to the occasion when Harry was photographed naked in a Las Vegas hotel room, Freeman added: "During his deployment in 2007-08, Captain Wales spoke of his frustration at not being able to partake in actual action. No more! Now he drops gung-ho aphorisms like Dick Cheney ("Take a life to save a life") and the young chap who only months before was photographed with his fingers in the most curious of places during a game of "strip billiards" in Las Vegas has since placed those same fingers "on the triggers of deadly rockets, missiles and a 30mm cannon." While many analysts in Britain praised Harry for risking his life to support ground troops in Helmand, one politician questioned the tone of his remarks. Opposition defense spokesman Jim Murphy said: "I'm not going to second guess whether he should or shouldn't have said it. "He's obviously a young and brave man. He was candid. Perhaps he may have been more candid than the Palace may have wished." In the interviews, Harry said he relished the relative freedom -- largely away from the scrutiny of the world's media -- that serving in the military offered him. "It's very easy to completely forget about who I am when I am in the army," he told reporters. But he added that he would prefer to have been serving on the ground than as an airman based at Camp Bastion along with 4,000 other British service personnel. "My choice would have been back out on the ground with my regiment," he said. "For me it's not that normal because I go into the cookhouse and everyone has a good old gawp, and that's one thing that I dislike about being here. Which is probably another reason why I'd love to be out in the PBs [patrol bases], away from it all." In his interviews the prince makes little attempt at all to hide his antipathy towards the media and the tabloids in particular. "Everyone's guilty for buying the papers...though hopefully no one believes what they read." But after reading the criticism of his own comments, he may want to reflect on another famous line from Shakespeare's "Henry V": "Men of few words are the best men."

Five primary schools in England don’t have a single pupil whose mother tongue is English. There are also 240 schools where at least 90 per cent of children grew up learning another language. Earlier this year, it was claimed that Gladstone Primary School in Peterborough was the only one without a single native English speaker, but four more have been found in figures obtained by Sky News. 'Bilingual world': Christine Parker, head of Gladstone Primary School, with some of her pupils . Two schools, including Gladstone Primary, each had more than 400 pupils speaking a bewildering 20 languages. Education experts yesterday said the influx of immigrant children often had a positive influence on British-born pupils because of their strong work ethic. But they warned teachers risked being swamped. Professor Alan Smithers, an education expert at the University of Buckingham, said: ‘It is a growing phenomenon because of the large scale of immigration, which is putting a great deal of pressure on our school system.’ Chris McGovern, of the Campaign for Real Education, said: ‘Immigrant children bring a good work ethic to schools. The problem is they will have an impact on children who do speak English as a first  language because teachers’ time will be taken up helping them. ‘It can be up to a year before these children speak good English. But the other pupils don’t get that time back.’ The figures, from the Department for Education for the 2012-2013  academic year, showed Gladstone Primary had 441 pupils speaking languages including Punjabi, Urdu, Portuguese, Czech, Polish, and several Russian dialects. Teachers help pupils learn English by explaining everything they are doing so that children associate objects and actions with words. Headteacher Christine Parker was not available for comment yesterday but has said: ‘More and more of the world is going bilingual. The culture at our school is not to see bilingualism as a difficulty.’ Peterborough City Council receives an extra £1.5million a year from the Department for Education to cover the cost of teaching children English. Schools where 90 per cent of children speak English as a second language include nearby Beeches Primary, where 23 languages were spoken by 592 pupils. Sacred Heart School in Tipton, West Midlands, has 128 pupils, mostly with parents from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Headteacher Melanie Gee said: ‘Within a couple of weeks they are communicating in English.’ Ofsted inspections over the past six years showed one school had been rated ‘outstanding’ and two had maintained ‘good’ ratings in consecutive inspections. Gladstone went from ‘inadequate’ to ‘good’. Westwood School in Oldham slipped from ‘good’ to ‘satisfactory’ between 2009 and last year, but 83 per cent of pupils reached required levels in English Key Stage 2 tests and 87 per cent in maths. The figures at Gladstone were 74 per cent and 72 per cent respectively. A DfE spokesman said: ‘Many schools successfully teach pupils whose first language is not English.’
Government figures reveal the five schools with no native English speakers . In 240 more at least 90 per cent of students have a different first language . Campaigners have warned that the array of languages risks 'swamping' teachers .

By . Mark Prigg . Scientists have reconstructed one of the biggest asteroid impacts ever to hit Earth - and say it was six times as big as the blast than wiped out the dinosaurs. The 36 mile wide asteroid is believed to have hit Earth 3.26 billion years ago, creating unique geological features found in a South African region known as the Barberton greenstone belt. Researcher say the impact would have boiled oceans, burned the sky, and cause the planet to shake for 30 minutes. The massive asteroid was almost as wide as Rhode Island and about three to five times larger than the rock thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs. The huge impactor – between 37 and 58 kilometers (23 to 36 miles) wide – collided with the planet at 20 kilometers per second (12 miles per second). The jolt, bigger than a 10.8 magnitude earthquake, propelled seismic waves hundreds of kilometers through the Earth, breaking rocks and setting off other large earthquakes. Tsunamis thousands of meters deep – far bigger than recent tsunamis generated by earthquakes — swept across the oceans that covered most of the Earth at that time. The collision punched a crater into the planet’s crust that’s nearly 500 kilometers (about 300 miles) across: greater than the distance from Washington, D.C. to New York City, and up to two and a half times larger in diameter than the hole formed by the dinosaur-killing asteroid. Seismic waves bigger than any recorded earthquakes shake the planet for about half an hour at any one location – about six times longer than the huge earthquake that struck Japan three years ago. The impact also sets off tsunamis many times deeper than the one that followed the Japanese quake. Although scientists had previously hypothesized enormous ancient impacts, much greater than the one that may have eliminated the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, now a new study reveals the power and scale of a cataclysmic event some 3.26 billion years ago which is thought to have created geological features found in a South African region known as the Barberton greenstone belt. The research has been accepted for publication in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. The collision punches a crater into the planet¿s crust that¿s nearly 500 kilometers (about 300 miles) across: greater than the distance from Washington, D.C. to New York City, and up to two and a half times larger in diameter than the hole formed by the dinosaur-killing asteroid. The sky would have become red hot, the atmosphere would have been filled with dust and the tops of oceans would have boiled, the researchers said. The impact sent vaporized rock into the atmosphere, which encircled the globe and condensed into liquid droplets before solidifying and falling to the surface, according to the researchers. Tsunamis thousands of meters deep – far bigger than recent tsunamis generated by earthquakes — swept across the oceans that covered most of the Earth at that time. The huge impactor – between 37 and 58 kilometers (23 to 36 miles) wide – collided with the planet at 20 kilometers per second (12 miles per second). The jolt, bigger than a 10.8 magnitude earthquake, propelled seismic waves hundreds of kilometers through the Earth, breaking rocks and setting off other large earthquakes. Tsunamis thousands of meters deep – far bigger than recent tsunamis generated by earthquakes — swept across the oceans that covered most of the Earth at that time. 'We knew it was big, but we didn’t know how big,' Donald Lowe, a geologist at Stanford University and a co-author of the study, said of the asteroid. Lowe, who discovered telltale rock formations in the Barberton greenstone a decade ago, thought their structure smacked of an asteroid impact. The new research models for the first time how big the asteroid was and the effect it had on the planet, including the possible initiation of a more modern plate tectonic system that is seen in the region, according to Lowe. The study marks the first time scientists have mapped in this way an impact that occurred more than 3 billion years ago, Lowe added, and is likely one of the first times anyone has modeled any impact that occurred during this period of the Earth’s evolution. The impact would have been catastrophic to the surface environment. The smaller, dino-killing asteroid crash is estimated to have released more than a billion times more energy than the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The more ancient hit now coming to light would have released much more energy, experts said. Although scientists had previously hypothesized enormous ancient impacts, much greater than the one that may have eliminated the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, researchers have now modelled the power and scale of the cataclysmic event for the first time . The crator covers an areas 500km wide . The impact may have been one of dozens of huge asteroids that scientists think hit the Earth during the tail end of the Late Heavy Bombardment period, a major period of impacts that occurred early in the Earth’s history – around 3 billion to 4 billion years ago. The study’s co-authors think the asteroid hit the Earth thousands of kilometers away from the Barberton Greenstone Belt, although they can’t pinpoint the exact location. 'We can’t go to the impact sites. In order to better understand how big it was and its effect we need studies like this,' said Lowe. The study’s findings have important implications for understanding the early Earth and how the planet formed. The impact may have disrupted the Earth’s crust and the tectonic regime that characterized the early planet, leading to the start of a more modern plate tectonic system, according to the paper’s co-authors. The pummeling the planet endured was 'much larger than any ordinary earthquake,' said Norman Sleep, a physicist at Stanford University and co-author of the study. He used physics, models, and knowledge about the formations in the Barberton greenstone belt, other earthquakes and other asteroid impact sites on the Earth and the moon to calculate the strength and duration of the shaking that the asteroid produced. Using this information, Sleep recreated how waves traveled from the impact site to the Barberton greenstone belt and caused the geological formations. The geological evidence found in the Barberton that the paper investigates indicates that the asteroid was “far larger than anything in the last billion years,' said Jay Melosh, a professor at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, who was not involved in the research. The Barberton greenstone belt is an area 100 kilometers (62 miles) long and 60 kilometers (37 miles) wide that sits east of Johannesburg near the border with Swaziland. It contains some of the oldest rocks on the planet. The model provides evidence for the rock formations and crustal fractures that scientists have discovered in the Barberton greenstone belt, said Frank Kyte, a geologist at UCLA who was not involved in the study. 'This is providing significant support for the idea that the impact may have been responsible for this major shift in tectonics,' he said.

Seismic waves bigger than any recorded earthquakes shake the planet for about half an hour at any one location – about six times longer than the huge earthquake that struck Japan three years ago. The impact also sets off tsunamis many times deeper than the one that followed the Japanese quake. Although scientists had previously hypothesized enormous ancient impacts, much greater than the one that may have eliminated the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, now a new study reveals the power and scale of a cataclysmic event some 3.26 billion years ago which is thought to have created geological features found in a South African region known as the Barberton greenstone belt. The research has been accepted for publication in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. The collision punches a crater into the planet¿s crust that¿s nearly 500 kilometers (about 300 miles) across: greater than the distance from Washington, D.C. to New York City, and up to two and a half times larger in diameter than the hole formed by the dinosaur-killing asteroid. The sky would have become red hot, the atmosphere would have been filled with dust and the tops of oceans would have boiled, the researchers said. The impact sent vaporized rock into the atmosphere, which encircled the globe and condensed into liquid droplets before solidifying and falling to the surface, according to the researchers. Tsunamis thousands of meters deep – far bigger than recent tsunamis generated by earthquakes — swept across the oceans that covered most of the Earth at that time. The huge impactor – between 37 and 58 kilometers (23 to 36 miles) wide – collided with the planet at 20 kilometers per second (12 miles per second). The jolt, bigger than a 10.8 magnitude earthquake, propelled seismic waves hundreds of kilometers through the Earth, breaking rocks and setting off other large earthquakes. Tsunamis thousands of meters deep – far bigger than recent tsunamis generated by earthquakes — swept across the oceans that covered most of the Earth at that time. 'We knew it was big, but we didn’t know how big,' Donald Lowe, a geologist at Stanford University and a co-author of the study, said of the asteroid. Lowe, who discovered telltale rock formations in the Barberton greenstone a decade ago, thought their structure smacked of an asteroid impact. The new research models for the first time how big the asteroid was and the effect it had on the planet, including the possible initiation of a more modern plate tectonic system that is seen in the region, according to Lowe. The study marks the first time scientists have mapped in this way an impact that occurred more than 3 billion years ago, Lowe added, and is likely one of the first times anyone has modeled any impact that occurred during this period of the Earth’s evolution. The impact would have been catastrophic to the surface environment. The smaller, dino-killing asteroid crash is estimated to have released more than a billion times more energy than the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The more ancient hit now coming to light would have released much more energy, experts said. Although scientists had previously hypothesized enormous ancient impacts, much greater than the one that may have eliminated the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, researchers have now modelled the power and scale of the cataclysmic event for the first time . The crator covers an areas 500km wide . The impact may have been one of dozens of huge asteroids that scientists think hit the Earth during the tail end of the Late Heavy Bombardment period, a major period of impacts that occurred early in the Earth’s history – around 3 billion to 4 billion years ago. The study’s co-authors think the asteroid hit the Earth thousands of kilometers away from the Barberton Greenstone Belt, although they can’t pinpoint the exact location. 'We can’t go to the impact sites. In order to better understand how big it was and its effect we need studies like this,' said Lowe. The study’s findings have important implications for understanding the early Earth and how the planet formed. The impact may have disrupted the Earth’s crust and the tectonic regime that characterized the early planet, leading to the start of a more modern plate tectonic system, according to the paper’s co-authors. The pummeling the planet endured was 'much larger than any ordinary earthquake,' said Norman Sleep, a physicist at Stanford University and co-author of the study. He used physics, models, and knowledge about the formations in the Barberton greenstone belt, other earthquakes and other asteroid impact sites on the Earth and the moon to calculate the strength and duration of the shaking that the asteroid produced. Using this information, Sleep recreated how waves traveled from the impact site to the Barberton greenstone belt and caused the geological formations. The geological evidence found in the Barberton that the paper investigates indicates that the asteroid was “far larger than anything in the last billion years,' said Jay Melosh, a professor at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, who was not involved in the research. The Barberton greenstone belt is an area 100 kilometers (62 miles) long and 60 kilometers (37 miles) wide that sits east of Johannesburg near the border with Swaziland. It contains some of the oldest rocks on the planet. The model provides evidence for the rock formations and crustal fractures that scientists have discovered in the Barberton greenstone belt, said Frank Kyte, a geologist at UCLA who was not involved in the study. 'This is providing significant support for the idea that the impact may have been responsible for this major shift in tectonics,' he said.

Dunkin' Donuts has added a couple of new hot items to its menu to help ease customers through the winter months . Both items are best served hot, and will be on the menu until some undisclosed point in 2015. Dunkin’ wouldn’t specify which restaurants will be sell the new items. The company also said on Tuesday that it is conducting a special New Year's themed Twitter sweepstakes among followers of its Twitter page until Wedesnday . Winners can receive a year’s worth of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee or a $100 gift card to the store. The new eatables are the first to be added to the company's menu since it announced in October that was rolling out a croissant-doughnut hybrid. The chain launched its 'Croissant Donut' nationally for a limited time starting on November 3 and insisted that it wasn't anything like the infamous 'Cronut'. The Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York City introduced its now trademarked Cronut in 2013 and it quickly became a viral sensation that spawned numerous knockoffs. The chocolate croissant features flaky croissant dough and a chocolaty filling and will be served warm . The Tomato Mozzarella Supreme Bagel is a plain bagel with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and herb topping . Last summer, Dunkin' also introduced a croissant-doughnut in South Korea it dubbed a 'New York Pie Donut.' John Costello, Dunkin's president of global marketing and innovation, said in a phone interview that bakers around the country have been mixing doughnuts and croissants for at least 20 years. He said Dunkin' is constantly tracking consumer and bakery trends and has been looking at pastry 'combinations' for several years. 'Are we copying a specific bakery in New York? The answer is no,' Costello said in a phone interview. Dunkin' had reported disappointing quarterly sales in October and warning it might struggle to make its long-term growth targets for the financial year. Among the challenges the company is facing is increased competition, with chains including Taco Bell going after the breakfast crowd. Dunkin', based in Canton, Massachusetts, has nevertheless been opening new U.S. locations and last week said it sees potential for more than 17,000 U.S. locations over time, up from its current 8,000.

It's smooth sailing so far for newlyweds Cheryl Hines and Robert F Kennedy Jr, who were pictured today taking a boat trip with friends the day after their rainy wedding in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Cheryl, the actress best known for her role on TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm, was photographed talking on the phone while her new husband Bobby, the son of assassinated senator Robert F Kennedy, followed down to the dock. Bobby's sister Kerry smiled as a photographer snapped her bringing a bucket of KFC fried chicken onto the boat for the excursion. The actor Ed Begley Jr and his wife Rachelle Carson also came along for the ride, along with fellow actor Kevin Nealon. Scroll down for video .

Happily married: Cheryl (left) grins as she makes her way down to the dock with fellow actor Kevin Nealon (right) Cheryl and Bobby tied the knot yesterday in a ceremony attended by about 300 including both the Kennedy clan and Hollywood elite. Their nuptials were unfortunately delayed by a summer rain storm, and plans to exchange vows on the beach were changed last minute to take place in a tent on the Kennedy compound. The bride wore a strapless white cocktail-length dress by Romana Keveza and carried a bouquet with both blue and white flowers. Bad weather: Cheryl and Bobby tied the knot in a Saturday ceremony that was delayed and eventually moved into a tent because of a rain storm . Like mother, like daughter: Cheryl's 10-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Catherine Young (pictured), wore a blue and white floral skirt to match her mother's bouquet . Big day: Bride Cheryl wore a cocktail-length white dress by Romona Keveza paired with a pair of metallic strappy heels . Swift's ex: Bobby's six children from two previous marriages also attended the ceremony, including 20-year-old son Conor Kennedy (pictured), who once dated pop-star Taylor Swift . Pre-wedding snaps: Connor Kennedy (center, right) son of Bobby Kennedy Jr, and another wedding party member in a suit, pose for photos with tourists camped outside the Kennedy compound during the wedding reception . Going along with the color scheme, Cheryl's 10-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Catherine Young. wore a blue and white floral skirt. Bobby's six children from two previous marriages also attended the event, including 20-year-old Conor Kennedy who previously dated pop-star Taylor Swift. Those pictured arriving at the event include Joan Kennedy, ex-wife of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, Bobby's mother Ethel Kennedy, Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey, the actress Julia Louis Dreyfus and her husband Brad Hall and Cheryl's Curb Your Enthusiasm co-star and creator Larry David. David was allegedly asked to give a toast at the reception, but awkwardly declined with 'lots of no's and hand movements'. Musicians Natasha Beningfield and Lyle Lovett reportedly played at the reception, where workers were asked to sign confidentiality agreements. EXCLUSIVE: A view from inside the compound of the tents on Saturday, taken from the porch . Getting started: Shortly . after 5pm, Hines appears in the doorway of the home, preceded by what appears to be her daughter Catherine (in blue and white skirt) and Bobby's daughter Kyra in a pink floor-length dress . Celebration: Cheryl Hines is seen hugging a guest under the wedding reception tent in Hyannis Port . The rainy Saturday afternoon nuptials happened despite rampant rumors of Bobby's infidelity. The wedding comes just weeks after MailOnline told how it was alleged that Bobby had a two-year affair with Connecticut socialite Chelsea Kirwan. This is the third marriage for Bobby, the son of the late senator Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the late Senator Edward Kennedy. The 60-year-old activist and his 48-year-old bride, best known for playing Larry David's wife on HBO hit Curb Your Enthusiasm and ABC comedy Suburgatory, have recently had an offer accepted on a $5million Malibu property - meaning Bobby may make the move to the West Coast. This is believed to be Bobby's way of showing his commitment to Cheryl following claims that he had cheated on her as he had on his previous wife. Hi there! Larry David, Cheryl Hines' co-star on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm offers a big wave to the camera. He reportedly declined the opportunity to give a toast at the reception . Rain or shine: Julia Louis-Dreyfus arrives at the wedding on Saturday and was accompanied by her husband Brad Hall . Matriarch: This was the third time Ethel Kennedy, seen here arriving at the wedding, watched her son say 'I do' Family reunion: Bobby's daughter Kyra, from previous marriage to Mary Richardson, pictured wearing a floor-length pink dress to the Saturday wedding (left). On the right, Joan Kennedy, ex-wife of the late Ted Kennedy (Bobby's uncle), arrives at the family compound . Bobby could still be drawn into Chelsea Kirwan's bitter divorce from surgeon to the stars Laurence Kirwan as the mother-of-four faces a deposition and will likely be asked about her relationship with the Kennedy scion. On Monday, Kennedy and Hines were spotted at the John F. Kennedy Museum gift shop in Hyannis to buy gifts for the bridal party. And they have reserved a block of rooms at the Hyannis Harbor hotel for their guests. The hotel is a 500-room venue that lies on the ocean -and is booked out over this weekend. Bobby has previously been married to Ruth Black, the mother of his children Robert Kennedy III and Kathleen (known as Kick), from 1984 to 1994 and then Mary Richardson, between 1994 and 2012. Mary, with whom Bobby had children Conor, Kyra, William and Aiden, committed suicide at her Bedford, New York, home in May 2012. She was 52. In May 2010, Bobby filed for divorce from Mary after 16 years of marriage. Details of their divorce filing were kept private. The New York Post has revealed that the environmental lawyer and activist, who works for Pace University and Riverkeeper, had contact details for 43 suspected mistresses stored in his cell phone . It was reported he kept a list of dozens of women filed under the letter 'G' in his cell phone, including both Cheryl Hines and Chelsea Kirwan. Co-star: Actor Jeremy Sisto also attended the wedding with his daughter Charlie on Saturday. Sisto and Cheryl star together on the TV show Suburgatory . Some . of the wedding party members were spotted in at the Bluewater Grille in . downtown Hyannis Saturday afternoon during the rain. Pictured here are . Hines' friend Kevin Nealon and his wife Susan Yeagley . Actor Ed Begley Jr, a close friend of Kennedy's was spotted getting onto a shuttle in the rain . She is understood to have believed he had stored the names under 'G' because of the Italian slang for mistress - 'goomah'. This isn't the first time that details about RFK Jr's alleged philandering has emerged. A 2001 diary belonging to him surfaced last September which helped gave a stunning insight into the number of affairs he had carried out during the same year that wife Mary had given birth to their fourth child. Bobby used a section at the back of his diary, headed 'cash accounts,' to list the first names of women he had cavorted with and gave each a mark out of ten. The list contains the names of 37 women, 16 of whom have the number ten beside them - which is believed to have signified that they had full intercourse. Time and again he wrote of how he felt tortured by his 'lust demons' as he described them. On days when he didn't cheat, Bobby wrote 'victory' to signify that he had resisted sexual temptation. 'I'm like Adam and live in Eden, and I can have everything but the fruit. But the fruit is all I want,' he wrote on Nov. 5, 2001. The thick, red journal was found at one stage by his wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy and later found its way into the hands of the New York Post. When a Post reporter questioned Kennedy about the diary they were first met with a stunned silence before he denied having kept a diary during that year. 'I don't think there is any way you could have a diary or journal of mine from 2001,' said Kennedy. 'I don't have any comment on it. I have no diary from 2001.' The . area around the Kennedy compound was guarded by local police and . there were tight security procedures for anyone working the event .
The newlyweds went sailing Sunday with friends Ed Begley Jr and Kevin Nealon, along with Bobby's sister Kerry Kennedy . Cheryl and Robert, who goes by Bobby, tied the know Saturday afternoon in a ceremony delayed by poor weather . The couple had workers signing confidentiality agreements and banned social media and photos at the event . About 300 guests attended the event including family matriarch Ethel Kennedy and actors Larry David and Julia Louis Dreyfus . The wedding, RFK Jr's third, comes despite multiple reports of infidelity . He is the son of the late senator Robert F Kennedy and the nephew of assassinated President John F Kennedy . Cheryl is best known for her television work on shows Curb Your Enthusiasm and Suburgatory .

Heres the context you need to read and summary.It's smooth sailing so far for newlyweds Cheryl Hines and Robert F Kennedy Jr, who were pictured today taking a boat trip with friends the day after their rainy wedding in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Cheryl, the actress best known for her role on TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm, was photographed talking on the phone while her new husband Bobby, the son of assassinated senator Robert F Kennedy, followed down to the dock. Bobby's sister Kerry smiled as a photographer snapped her bringing a bucket of KFC fried chicken onto the boat for the excursion. The actor Ed Begley Jr and his wife Rachelle Carson also came along for the ride, along with fellow actor Kevin Nealon. Scroll down for video .

Happily married: Cheryl (left) grins as she makes her way down to the dock with fellow actor Kevin Nealon (right) Cheryl and Bobby tied the knot yesterday in a ceremony attended by about 300 including both the Kennedy clan and Hollywood elite. Their nuptials were unfortunately delayed by a summer rain storm, and plans to exchange vows on the beach were changed last minute to take place in a tent on the Kennedy compound. The bride wore a strapless white cocktail-length dress by Romana Keveza and carried a bouquet with both blue and white flowers. Bad weather: Cheryl and Bobby tied the knot in a Saturday ceremony that was delayed and eventually moved into a tent because of a rain storm . Like mother, like daughter: Cheryl's 10-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Catherine Young (pictured), wore a blue and white floral skirt to match her mother's bouquet . Big day: Bride Cheryl wore a cocktail-length white dress by Romona Keveza paired with a pair of metallic strappy heels . Swift's ex: Bobby's six children from two previous marriages also attended the ceremony, including 20-year-old son Conor Kennedy (pictured), who once dated pop-star Taylor Swift .

Going along with the color scheme, Cheryl's 10-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, Catherine Young. wore a blue and white floral skirt. Bobby's six children from two previous marriages also attended the event, including 20-year-old Conor Kennedy who previously dated pop-star Taylor Swift. Those pictured arriving at the event include Joan Kennedy, ex-wife of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, Bobby's mother Ethel Kennedy, Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey, the actress Julia Louis Dreyfus and her husband Brad Hall and Cheryl's Curb Your Enthusiasm co-star and creator Larry David. David was allegedly asked to give a toast at the reception, but awkwardly declined with 'lots of no's and hand movements'. Musicians Natasha Beningfield and Lyle Lovett reportedly played at the reception, where workers were asked to sign confidentiality agreements. EXCLUSIVE: A view from inside the compound of the tents on Saturday, taken from the porch . Getting started: Shortly . after 5pm, Hines appears in the doorway of the home, preceded by what appears to be her daughter Catherine (in blue and white skirt) and Bobby's daughter Kyra in a pink floor-length dress . Celebration: Cheryl Hines is seen hugging a guest under the wedding reception tent in Hyannis Port . The rainy Saturday afternoon nuptials happened despite rampant rumors of Bobby's infidelity. The wedding comes just weeks after MailOnline told how it was alleged that Bobby had a two-year affair with Connecticut socialite Chelsea Kirwan. This is the third marriage for Bobby, the son of the late senator Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy and the late Senator Edward Kennedy. The 60-year-old activist and his 48-year-old bride, best known for playing Larry David's wife on HBO hit Curb Your Enthusiasm and ABC comedy Suburgatory, have recently had an offer accepted on a $5million Malibu property - meaning Bobby may make the move to the West Coast. This is believed to be Bobby's way of showing his commitment to Cheryl following claims that he had cheated on her as he had on his previous wife. Hi there! Larry David, Cheryl Hines' co-star on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm offers a big wave to the camera. He reportedly declined the opportunity to give a toast at the reception . Rain or shine: Julia Louis-Dreyfus arrives at the wedding on Saturday and was accompanied by her husband Brad Hall . Matriarch: This was the third time Ethel Kennedy, seen here arriving at the wedding, watched her son say 'I do' Family reunion: Bobby's daughter Kyra, from previous marriage to Mary Richardson, pictured wearing a floor-length pink dress to the Saturday wedding (left). On the right, Joan Kennedy, ex-wife of the late Ted Kennedy (Bobby's uncle), arrives at the family compound . Bobby could still be drawn into Chelsea Kirwan's bitter divorce from surgeon to the stars Laurence Kirwan as the mother-of-four faces a deposition and will likely be asked about her relationship with the Kennedy scion. On Monday, Kennedy and Hines were spotted at the John F. Kennedy Museum gift shop in Hyannis to buy gifts for the bridal party. And they have reserved a block of rooms at the Hyannis Harbor hotel for their guests. The hotel is a 500-room venue that lies on the ocean -and is booked out over this weekend. Bobby has previously been married to Ruth Black, the mother of his children Robert Kennedy III and Kathleen (known as Kick), from 1984 to 1994 and then Mary Richardson, between 1994 and 2012. Mary, with whom Bobby had children Conor, Kyra, William and Aiden, committed suicide at her Bedford, New York, home in May 2012. She was 52. In May 2010, Bobby filed for divorce from Mary after 16 years of marriage. Details of their divorce filing were kept private. The New York Post has revealed that the environmental lawyer and activist, who works for Pace University and Riverkeeper, had contact details for 43 suspected mistresses stored in his cell phone . It was reported he kept a list of dozens of women filed under the letter 'G' in his cell phone, including both Cheryl Hines and Chelsea Kirwan. Co-star: Actor Jeremy Sisto also attended the wedding with his daughter Charlie on Saturday. Sisto and Cheryl star together on the TV show Suburgatory . Some . of the wedding party members were spotted in at the Bluewater Grille in . downtown Hyannis Saturday afternoon during the rain. Pictured here are . Hines' friend Kevin Nealon and his wife Susan Yeagley . Actor Ed Begley Jr, a close friend of Kennedy's was spotted getting onto a shuttle in the rain . She is understood to have believed he had stored the names under 'G' because of the Italian slang for mistress - 'goomah'. This isn't the first time that details about RFK Jr's alleged philandering has emerged. A 2001 diary belonging to him surfaced last September which helped gave a stunning insight into the number of affairs he had carried out during the same year that wife Mary had given birth to their fourth child. Bobby used a section at the back of his diary, headed 'cash accounts,' to list the first names of women he had cavorted with and gave each a mark out of ten. The list contains the names of 37 women, 16 of whom have the number ten beside them - which is believed to have signified that they had full intercourse. Time and again he wrote of how he felt tortured by his 'lust demons' as he described them. On days when he didn't cheat, Bobby wrote 'victory' to signify that he had resisted sexual temptation. 'I'm like Adam and live in Eden, and I can have everything but the fruit. But the fruit is all I want,' he wrote on Nov. 5, 2001. The thick, red journal was found at one stage by his wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy and later found its way into the hands of the New York Post. When a Post reporter questioned Kennedy about the diary they were first met with a stunned silence before he denied having kept a diary during that year. 'I don't think there is any way you could have a diary or journal of mine from 2001,' said Kennedy. 'I don't have any comment on it. I have no diary from 2001.' The . area around the Kennedy compound was guarded by local police and . there were tight security procedures for anyone working the event .

A mother of five whose two-year-old son could die at any moment without round the clock care has told how she 'cried with happiness' after her campaign to stop her son’s help being cut was successful. Sarah Walton pleaded with the South Australian Government after they announced they were going to take away the highly-trained nurse who helps look after her son Zackary one day a week. Zackary has Treacher Collins Syndrome and also has a tracheostomy, which means his airway is compromised and could be obstructed at any moment. ‘We have to monitor him around the clock. It's already highly stressful and exhausting, and the one day of respite care allowed us to get by,’ Mrs Walton wrote on a change.org petition that has been signed by over 37,000 people. Two-year-old Zackary Walton has a tracheostomy, which means his airway is compromised and could be obstructed at any moment . Zackary is feed with a tube and his mother Sarah has to monitor him 24 hours a day . The 27-year-old found out on Friday morning that the National Disability Insurance Scheme will reinstate Zackary’s nurse after public outcry about the decision to cut his help. The family live in Mannum, in South Australia, about an hour and a half from Adelaide, and living rurally means their local hospital isn't trained to deal with emergencies for people with a tracheostomy. Mrs Walton, who also looks after her four other children at home while her husband works long hours to make ends meet, said the response has been ‘overwhelming’. ‘I cried I was so happy. It just means so much. It means I will be able to manage, to look forward to things and plan things again,’ Mrs Walton told Daily Mail Australia. On Mrs Walton’s moving change.org petition she wrote: ‘It's a scary weight to carry around, knowing that it's up to me to know what to do and keep my son alive' Mother Sarah Walton pleaded with the South Australian Government after they announced they were going to take away the carer who helps look after her son Zachary one day a week . ‘I can do all the things everyone takes for granted again – one day a week - now without worrying about equipment or life or death. ‘I can get in the car and just breathe,’ she said. Mrs Walton is looking forward to being able to continue to take her other children, Patience, Imali, Briella and Kynan, to the movies and the beach one day a week in the school holidays. ‘Zackary can’t go anywhere like that so the other kids miss out,’ she said. ‘And I can get my hair done and go food shopping, pay the bills, get in and out of the car, have coffee and have time to organise birthday presents - just the little things.’ The mother described how Zackary ‘absolutely adores’ the nurse who looks after him one day a week and is ‘very particular with people’. Having a nurse for Zackary means Mrs Walton can take her four other children, Patience, Imali, Briella and Kynan, to the cinema and the beach in the school holidays . Zackary 'absolutely adores' the nurse who looks after him one day a week, Mrs Walton said . Over the next few years things are only going to get harder for the Walton family as Zackary begins major re-constructive surgery. The relief Mrs Walton feels knowing that a nurse will be there to help – at least for the foreseeable future – is palpable. ‘If anything it will get worse, not him but the issues he faces. For example he doesn’t get head colds, it goes straight through his lungs… he will be starting kinder soon and the more he goes out the more he gets sick,’ she said describing the challenges ahead. Treacher Collins syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the growth and development of the head. It prevents the skull, cheek and jawbones from developing properly, causing facial defects and hearing loss. About one child in every 50,000 is affected. Problems range in severity from mild to very severe. In most cases, the child’s intelligence is normal. ‘He will also have some big surgery. From next year he will have a jaw… they will break it at the back and slowly turn it millimetres per day to bring it forward. He will also have his checks rebuilt and the surgery will go into adulthood. ‘There is no guarantee that he’ll ever not need a feeding tube.’ On Mrs Walton’s moving change.org petition she wrote: ‘It's a scary weight to carry around, knowing that it's up to me to know what to do and keep my son alive. It's a weight parents of children with tracheostomies shouldn't have to bear just because they live in a rural area. ‘That's not right. We can't easily just move. We own our home, we'd need to uproot our other children, we have family here, we have hopes and dreams and aspirations for our future in this town. We just want to safely be able to include our son in that future.’ The family are still calling for more training about tracheostomy patients for doctors and nurses in rural hospitals. ‘This is my son's life at stake. It's also the lives of many other children with tracheostomy who are being ignored and neglected. Right now it seems like only a matter of time before the unthinkable happens, and someone like my son dies because of the lack of training and help the government is giving to rural tracheostomy patients,’ she wrote.

Sky scrapers: Lasers could be used to divert weather away from events - or trigger rainfall far out to see . We may have all dreamt of zapping away the rainclouds when it’s damp and miserable outside. But it seems that one day, the dream could actually come true. Scientists are hopeful that lasers could be used to guarantee a cloudless sky – and will gather next month to discuss the possibility of shooting pulses of light into the heavens to control the weather. In laboratory tests Swiss researchers have succeeded in using the technology to promote cloud formation. In theory, it could be used to trigger rainfall far out at sea or over uninhabited land – and keep it away from a major event. The technique has also been used to control lightning, with the long-term aim of diverting it away from built-up areas. Controlling the weather has been attempted before, most famously during the 2008 Beijing Olympics when scientists apparently fired chemicals into the sky to disperse cloud for the opening ceremony. Known as cloud ‘seeding’, it was pioneered in the US in the 1940s and involves inducing rain by firing silver iodide or dry ice into a cloud, simulating the natural salt, dust and other tiny particles in the atmosphere that help water droplets form. It has produced mixed results, but at a conference of the World Meteorological Organisation entitled Laser, Weather and Climate, a team from the University of Geneva will report on experiments in which they used lasers to cause water to condense or ice to form, crucial in accelerating rainfall. In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they reported: ‘Under conditions typical for thin cirrus ice clouds, the plasma channels [laser] induced a surprisingly strong effect of ice multiplication. Within a few minutes, the laser action led to a strong enhancement of the total ice particle number density in the chamber by up to a factor of 100. Rain stop play? British music festivals - notoriously damp - might benefit from the new technology, though these Reading veterans don't seem to mind . ‘The newly formed ice particles quickly reduced the water vapour pressure to  ice saturation, thereby increasing the  cloud optical thickness by up to three orders of magnitude.’ They said the results ‘open the possibility for laser modification of natural cirrus clouds or the artificial seeding of cirrus clouds’.

An aspiring model says the overwhelming support she received from her Facebook friends is the secret behind her cancer recovery. Caris Hedd-Bowen, who has 2,127 friends on the social networking website, was told she had Hodgkin’s lymphoma in January after doctors spotted a lump on her chest. Within days of being diagnosed, she began a gruelling chemotherapy regime in an attempt to tackle the cancer. Caris Hedd-Bowen, 22, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in January when she was just 21. She turned to her 2,127 Facebook friends for support . Ms Hedd-Bowen said: ‘I couldn’t believe it. I was only 21 and my head filled with a thousand thoughts, including the faces of my two sons Travis and Finley, when I was diagnosed. ‘It was heart-breaking to think I may not be around to watch my boys grow up. I knew I had to get on with it and beat it.’ As a way of dealing with the stress, Ms Hedd-Bowen, now 22, shared her fight with contacts on Facebook, and was amazed by the feedback she received. She said: ‘Within minutes, people - people I didn’t even know - were messaging me with supportive comments, saying I looked beautiful, and willing me to keep fighting. ‘It was amazing, and more than once the response of people on Facebook had me in tears. I couldn’t believe how kind everyone was, even complete strangers. ‘I have amazing family and friends, but there were times I felt terribly alone during my treatment. I had to spend time away from my sons and of course I felt ill a lot of the time during my chemotherapy. She was given the all-clear earlier this month after a CT scan showed she was cancer free. She shared the news with her Facebook friends by posting this picture of herself on a beach . Ms Hedd-Bowen says that when she was diagnosed her first thought was that she might not live to see her sons, Travis, seven, and Finley, five, grow up . ‘Facebook has helped me in ways I can’t describe. Whenever I felt low, I would post a picture of me wearing a variety of different wigs, or bald pictures to show how I was losing my hair. The response was incredible.’ Ms Hedd-Bowen, who hopes to model full-time, knew which kind of photographs her followers would find most interesting. She said: ‘Soon, Facebook became my crutch. I would post pictures of me in hospital, I would update people on my progress, and I made sure I was 100 per cent honest about how I was feeling and coping with it all. Ms Hedd-Bowen said: 'It was heart-breaking to think I may not be around to watch my boys grow up. I knew I had to get on with it and beat it' ‘Every chemotherapy day I would get dolled up and take a photo as I was plugged in to the machine, smiling and happy as ever because I was grateful to be alive. ‘People never let me down - lovely comforting comments were streaming in, as well as hundreds of likes on my posts and pictures. ‘It was such an amazing lift to read things like that while I was feeling ill and emotional. It gave me a daily boost and reminded me to keep fighting.’ In June Ms Hedd-Bowen, of Pembrey, South Wales, was told the news she was in remission. She announced this to her army of friends through a series of status updates. Ms Hedd-Bowen says that the responses and messages she received on Facebook were so overwhelmingly kind that they often left her in tears . She wrote: ‘Guess what? I have well and truly kicked cancer’s ass! I am cancer free!’ She also posted a photograph of her lying on the beach with the words ‘I beat cancer’. This month she told her friends: ‘Just received a letter from the hospital saying my CT scan that I had two weeks ago has come back totally clear. It’s definitely 100 per cent gone! Yay!’ Responses included messages of congratulations and a torrent of smiley faces. She said: ‘Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I felt. I took a few minutes to phone my family and a few of my friends, and then I declared my fight was over on Facebook. Ms Hedd-Bowen says that Facebook became her 'crutch' as it gave her the daily boost she needed to keep fighting. She says she is extremely grateful for all of the support she received . ‘My status got more than 600 likes, which was amazing. ‘I had a final CT scan and two more chemotherapy sessions, and then I was free to get on with my life. ‘One thing I have learnt from battling cancer so publicly is how incredibly caring people are. I have also met so many people suffering cancer and all other types of illnesses through Facebook, I have been there for them and they have been there for me.’ She now is busy planning her future with her sons Travis, 7, and Finley, 5. Ms Hedd-Bowen says that she got dressed up every day, even when she was having chemotherapy, and posted a picture of herself in hospital . ‘I have a million plans,’ she said. ‘I am going to raise as much as I can for cancer charities and I plan to start back at college to complete an interior design course. ‘I want to fall in love, I want to travel - everything which life brings. ‘I am so grateful to still be here with my two boys and if anything ever happens to me again, I know I have an army of supporters on Facebook.’ Hodgkin's lymphoma is cancer of the B lymphocytes - a type of white blood cell found in the lymphatic system. Clear fluid called lymph flows through the lymphatic vessels and contains infection-fighting white blood cells known as lymphocytes. In lymphoma, these lymphocytes start to multiply abnormally and begin to collect in certain parts of the lymphatic system, such as the lymph nodes. The most common symptom is a painless swelling in a gland, most commonly in the neck, armpit or groin. The cancer is most common in 15 to 35-year-olds and the over 50s. More men than women are affected. Nearly 1,500 people in the UK are diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma every year. It is one of the most easily treatable forms of cancer - almost all young people with Hodgkin's lymphoma will be cured. For older people, the cure rate is about 80 per cent. Source: NHS Choices .

The response was incredible.’ Ms Hedd-Bowen, who hopes to model full-time, knew which kind of photographs her followers would find most interesting. She said: ‘Soon, Facebook became my crutch. I would post pictures of me in hospital, I would update people on my progress, and I made sure I was 100 per cent honest about how I was feeling and coping with it all. Ms Hedd-Bowen said: 'It was heart-breaking to think I may not be around to watch my boys grow up. I knew I had to get on with it and beat it' ‘Every chemotherapy day I would get dolled up and take a photo as I was plugged in to the machine, smiling and happy as ever because I was grateful to be alive. ‘People never let me down - lovely comforting comments were streaming in, as well as hundreds of likes on my posts and pictures. ‘It was such an amazing lift to read things like that while I was feeling ill and emotional. It gave me a daily boost and reminded me to keep fighting.’ In June Ms Hedd-Bowen, of Pembrey, South Wales, was told the news she was in remission. She announced this to her army of friends through a series of status updates. Ms Hedd-Bowen says that the responses and messages she received on Facebook were so overwhelmingly kind that they often left her in tears . She wrote: ‘Guess what? I have well and truly kicked cancer’s ass! I am cancer free!’ She also posted a photograph of her lying on the beach with the words ‘I beat cancer’. This month she told her friends: ‘Just received a letter from the hospital saying my CT scan that I had two weeks ago has come back totally clear. It’s definitely 100 per cent gone! Yay!’ Responses included messages of congratulations and a torrent of smiley faces. She said: ‘Grateful doesn’t begin to cover how I felt. I took a few minutes to phone my family and a few of my friends, and then I declared my fight was over on Facebook. Ms Hedd-Bowen says that Facebook became her 'crutch' as it gave her the daily boost she needed to keep fighting. She says she is extremely grateful for all of the support she received . ‘My status got more than 600 likes, which was amazing. ‘I had a final CT scan and two more chemotherapy sessions, and then I was free to get on with my life. ‘One thing I have learnt from battling cancer so publicly is how incredibly caring people are. I have also met so many people suffering cancer and all other types of illnesses through Facebook, I have been there for them and they have been there for me.’ She now is busy planning her future with her sons Travis, 7, and Finley, 5. Ms Hedd-Bowen says that she got dressed up every day, even when she was having chemotherapy, and posted a picture of herself in hospital . ‘I have a million plans,’ she said. ‘I am going to raise as much as I can for cancer charities and I plan to start back at college to complete an interior design course. ‘I want to fall in love, I want to travel - everything which life brings. ‘I am so grateful to still be here with my two boys and if anything ever happens to me again, I know I have an army of supporters on Facebook.’ Hodgkin's lymphoma is cancer of the B lymphocytes - a type of white blood cell found in the lymphatic system. Clear fluid called lymph flows through the lymphatic vessels and contains infection-fighting white blood cells known as lymphocytes. In lymphoma, these lymphocytes start to multiply abnormally and begin to collect in certain parts of the lymphatic system, such as the lymph nodes. The most common symptom is a painless swelling in a gland, most commonly in the neck, armpit or groin. The cancer is most common in 15 to 35-year-olds and the over 50s. More men than women are affected. Nearly 1,500 people in the UK are diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma every year. It is one of the most easily treatable forms of cancer - almost all young people with Hodgkin's lymphoma will be cured. For older people, the cure rate is about 80 per cent. Source: NHS Choices .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 11:55 EST, 16 April 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 22:32 EST, 16 April 2012 . A man accused of becoming an Al Qaeda operative discussed bombing New York City movie theaters, Grand Central Terminal, Times Square and the New York Stock Exchange before settling on the city's subways, a court has heard. Adis Madunjanin allegedly plotted against the high-profile targets with two of his former high school classmates from Queens. The men ‘were prepared to kill themselves and everyone else around them — men, women and children,’ said Assistant U.S. Attorney James Looman in opening statements on Monday. The extraordinary case has seen attempted shoe bomber Saajid Muhammad Badat released from prison early in exchanging for testifying against his alleged fellow jihadist. Revealing the plan: Zarein Ahmedzay (right) testifies in the trial of Adis Medunjanin (left) Defence attorney Robert Gottlieb . accused the government of using ‘inflammatory rhetoric’ about al Qaeda . and terrorism to prevent jurors ‘from seeing the truth about this case.’ ‘The truth is that Adis Medunjanin is not a terrorist,’ he countered. There's no dispute that Medunjanin and his two former classmates travelled together to Pakistan in 2008. But federal prosecutors say the three . were homegrown Muslim extremists who, under al Qaeda's tutelage, came . back to the United States and hatched a foiled plot to attack the New . York City subways as suicide bombers. Medunjanin, 27, has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, and providing material support to a terrorist organization among other charges in what U.S. officials have described as one of the most chilling terror conspiracies since the September 11, 2001 attacks. On trial: Adis Medunjanin, seen in a 2010 court appearance, is accused of planning to bomb the New York subway system . Childhood friends Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay have admitted in guilty pleas that they wanted to avenge U.S. aggression in the Arab world by becoming martyrs. Both have been called by the government to testify against Medunjanin. 'Adis agreed to be one of the suicide bombers,' said Ahmedzay, who was called as the first prosecution witness. Medunjanin had 'no hesitation' and 'was committed' to the plan, Ahmedzay said. 'I remember him saying he would mention he was doing the suicide mission of his own choice,' the witness added. 'And that he loved death more than he loved life.' But Medunjanin backed out of the plot, Gottlieb countered in opening arguments. He was a 'serious, studious and sincere' young man who balked at joining his friends in the 'martyrdom operations,' Gottlieb said. 'Adis Medunjanin made his decision, and he decided not to be a terrorist, not to be a suicide bomber.' Another possible witness is Bryant Neal Vinas, a Long Island man who joined al Qaeda around the same time as the other men. Officials have credited Vinas with providing key intelligence about the terror group since his capture in 2008. They are also expecting to get valuable information from Saajid Muhammad Badat who is due to testify against Medunjanin. Court appearances: Najibullah Zazi, shown in a court sketch and outside of the Denver FBI office, is childhood friends with Adis Medunjanin . Badat, who was jailed in Britain in . 2005 for his role in a 2001 plot to down an American Airlines flight . from Paris to Miami with explosives hidden inside shoes, has had his . jail term cut from 13 years to 11 years in a ground-breaking deal. In an extraordinary secret court . hearing, the Islamic fundamentalist was released following a private . discussion between a judge, his solicitor and prosecutors. That bargain means he has already been released, rather than having to wait until 2013 to request parole. The details of his release were not . made public until this week, when they were revealed as part of the . announcement that he would be testifying in Medunjanin's case. 'This . trial is the first time a UK convicted terrorist has agreed, under the . terms of our agreement, to give evidence in the United States,’ said Sue . Hemming from the British Crown Prosecution Service. 'Badat has helped with investigations . in this country, he continues to co-operate and has agreed to testify in . other trials if called upon.’ Caught: Police raid the Denver home of Zazi, who got as far as cooking up explosives and setting out by car for New York City in September 2009 to carry out the attack . Badat was an accomplice of so-called shoe bomber Richard Reid, who is serving a life sentence in the United States. 'We considered very carefully the . merits of entering into this agreement with a convicted terrorist, and . we believe that the administration of justice internationally benefits . from such an agreement,’ Ms Hemming said. Deal: Terrorist Saajid Muhammad Badat, pictured, had his 13 year sentence cut to 11 after the agreement with prosecutors . Jurors . also are expected to hear evidence that following his arrest, . Medunjanin told the FBI he had become a more devout Muslim about four . years before the plot was exposed after he and childhood friend Zazi . began spending time together at a local mosque, FBI reports say. He also recalled being influenced by tapes of U.S.-born extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, they say. In . 2008, Medunjanin and his friends decided to join the Taliban and fight . U.S. soldiers in retaliation for the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal, . the FBI reports say. The three instead were recruited by al Qaeda operatives, who gave them weapons training in their Pakistan camp and asked them to become suicide bombers, they say. Medunjanin told his al Qaeda handlers ‘he had prayed but still wasn't sure if he was ready to be a martyr,’ the reports say. He was later sent home on his own, the reports add, after he told them ‘the best thing for him to do ... was to return to the U.S. and provide financial support’ for the terror network. Medunjanin was arrested in early 2010 after attempting to crash his car into another vehicle in what prosecutors have described as a failed suicide attempt. Prosecutors have presented recordings of 911 emergency calls in which they say Medunjanin identified himself, made jihadist statements, and declared 'We love death' immediately before the crash. At the time he was under surveillance by federal agents. Gottlieb said the statements were an expression of desperation from a man whose home had just been raided by federal agents and who was overwhelmed with the possibility of being branded a Muslim terrorist. Zazi, after relocating to the Denver area, got as far as cooking up explosives and setting out by car for New York City in September 2009 to carry out the attack. He was arrested after abandoning the plan and fleeing back to Colorado. The FBI reports say Medunjanin denied knowing what Zazi was up to. And the defence has claimed he spoke to the FBI under duress. In a sworn statement, the defendant accused agents of making veiled threats against his family and denying him access to his attorney for 36 hours. Federal authorities insist his statements were voluntary.

By . Darren Boyle for MailOnline . A paramedic who claimed to be gay, raped one woman while a student and sexually assaulted two others, has been jailed for 12 years. Christopher Bridger, 25, from Stevenage, Hertfordshire raped his first victim while a student paramedic in London in September 2008. He later assaulted two of his colleagues at the South East Coast Ambulance service after pretending he was gay and befriending the women. Christopher Bridger, pictured, pretended to be gay in order to befriend woman before attacking them . Bridger was found guilty of one count of rape and four others of sexual abuse following a 12-day trial at Guildford Crown Court in Surrey. The seven men and four women took four hours to return a guilty verdict, however he was acquitted of two further charges of sex assault by penetration and a sex assault on two other women who he knew. All three victims, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are in their 20s. They were forced to give evidence during the trial, during which Bridger accused each of them of lying. The first victim said she had been raped after a fancy dress party during Freshers' Week party at George's University Hospital in September 2008. The woman said Bridger had told her he was gay and accompanied her back to her halls of residence after the party when they started to kiss and cuddle. The woman said she told Bridger to stop, who ignored her wishes and raped her. The court heard that Bridger broke down in tears following the attack and admitted: 'I just want to like girls.' The girl said she had even comforted Bridger even though she knew what he had done was wrong. Later, Bridger started working for the South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust in 2010. Guildford Crown Court heard that his second victim was assaulted as she lay in bed with her lesbian lover after the work Christmas party in December 2011. The court heard that he woman had got extremely intoxicated and had a row with her girlfriend on the night of the attack. Bridger accused each of his three victims of lying during his 12-day trial before Guildford Crown Court . Bridger's collegue told the jury how Bridger came up to her hotel room after she got extremely intoxicated at the party. She had been arguing with her girlfriend, who started recording her drunken rant on her mobile phone. Audio of that recording was played to the jury, during which Bridger is heard to come into the room and ask the woman for a hug and a kiss, which she obliged to, thinking he was gay. Afterwards, Bridger climbed into bed between his victim and her partner, she said. The woman awoke to find him sexually assaulting her and pleasuring himself as her girlfriend lay asleep next to them. She kept quiet, fearing her partner wouldn't understand what had happened. The day after was Bridger's birthday and he sheepishly sent the woman a number of text messages apologising for his behaviour. One text said: 'It was one night of stupidity for which I will be eternally sorry.' Another said: 'You don't have to forgive me, I'm just telling you the truth. I'm ashamed of myself.' His final victim was also a colleague from the South East Coast Ambulance Service, who said she was sexually assaulted after she allowed him to stay the night at her house after a dinner in October 2012. The court heard all the women had been told by Bridger - and believed him - that he was openly gay. Bridger was suspended from work after the incidents were reported to South East Coast Ambulance Service management in late 2012. Despite being told not to contact any of the alleged victims, he left a voicemail message with the final complainant on Christmas morning in 2012, in which he was 'full of self-pity.' Following an internal NHS inquiry, Surrey Police arrested Bridger in January 2013 and he denied any involvement, telling detectives that he was a gay man who had been in several same sex relationships. He had been separately arrested by the Metropolitan Police and questioned in relation to the allegations while he was a student paramedic. Bridger did admit having sex with his rape victim but claimed that it was consensual and an experience 'that confirmed I am gay.' He claimed the other incidents had just been 'drunken fumbles' and that the women were lying. Court Recorder Mark Milliken-Smith handed down a 12 year sentence earlier today. Mr Milliken-Smith said: 'These were wicked, mean and utterly cowardly offences which have and will have serious consequences on these young women and those around them for a very long time. 'In each case the young woman in question believed you were gay. You told everyone you were gay. They never contemplated you presented a danger to them. 'They trusted you in situations they would not have allowed heterosexual men. 'You took advantage of that belief.' Mr Milliken-Smith criticised Bridger for putting his victims through the trauma of a trial. He said: 'Each of your victims has suffered great and prolonged trauma by virtue of what you have done. 'That trauma has been exacerbated quite considerably by having to relive those events at trial.' Guildford Crown Court, pictured, heard Bridger added to the women's trauma by forcing them to testify . Describing impact statements written by Bridger's victims, prosecutor Caroline Carberry said: 'The overwhelming feeling of the victims in this case are those of disbelief, self-doubt, guilt, shame and a very real sense of betrayal by someone they trusted. 'The destructive effect of this defendant's actions is very clear from the statements provided.' Brian Aldred defending, said Bridger was 'shocked and upset at the pain and distress his actions have caused for those victims'. Mr Aldred added: 'No human being is wholly evil. 'We all have our good sides and our bad sides. 'Today Christopher Bridger's bad sides are going to be there for everybody to see and he is going to be punished for them.' Bridger was jailed for eight years for rape and four years for sexual assault by penetration, to run consecutively. He was jailed for 12 months for one of the sexual assaults and six months for the other and sentenced to 18 months in prison for the inciting charge, all to run concurrently with the rape and penetration charges. The judge also told him he would spend three years on prison licence after the end of his custody spell. Bridger nodded to family members as he was led from the dock.

Bridger was found guilty of one count of rape and four others of sexual abuse following a 12-day trial at Guildford Crown Court in Surrey. The seven men and four women took four hours to return a guilty verdict, however he was acquitted of two further charges of sex assault by penetration and a sex assault on two other women who he knew. All three victims, who cannot be named for legal reasons, are in their 20s. They were forced to give evidence during the trial, during which Bridger accused each of them of lying. The first victim said she had been raped after a fancy dress party during Freshers' Week party at George's University Hospital in September 2008. The woman said Bridger had told her he was gay and accompanied her back to her halls of residence after the party when they started to kiss and cuddle. The woman said she told Bridger to stop, who ignored her wishes and raped her. The court heard that Bridger broke down in tears following the attack and admitted: 'I just want to like girls.' The girl said she had even comforted Bridger even though she knew what he had done was wrong. Later, Bridger started working for the South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Trust in 2010. Guildford Crown Court heard that his second victim was assaulted as she lay in bed with her lesbian lover after the work Christmas party in December 2011. The court heard that he woman had got extremely intoxicated and had a row with her girlfriend on the night of the attack. Bridger accused each of his three victims of lying during his 12-day trial before Guildford Crown Court . Bridger's collegue told the jury how Bridger came up to her hotel room after she got extremely intoxicated at the party. She had been arguing with her girlfriend, who started recording her drunken rant on her mobile phone. Audio of that recording was played to the jury, during which Bridger is heard to come into the room and ask the woman for a hug and a kiss, which she obliged to, thinking he was gay. Afterwards, Bridger climbed into bed between his victim and her partner, she said. The woman awoke to find him sexually assaulting her and pleasuring himself as her girlfriend lay asleep next to them. She kept quiet, fearing her partner wouldn't understand what had happened. The day after was Bridger's birthday and he sheepishly sent the woman a number of text messages apologising for his behaviour. One text said: 'It was one night of stupidity for which I will be eternally sorry.' Another said: 'You don't have to forgive me, I'm just telling you the truth. I'm ashamed of myself.' His final victim was also a colleague from the South East Coast Ambulance Service, who said she was sexually assaulted after she allowed him to stay the night at her house after a dinner in October 2012. The court heard all the women had been told by Bridger - and believed him - that he was openly gay. Bridger was suspended from work after the incidents were reported to South East Coast Ambulance Service management in late 2012. Despite being told not to contact any of the alleged victims, he left a voicemail message with the final complainant on Christmas morning in 2012, in which he was 'full of self-pity.' Following an internal NHS inquiry, Surrey Police arrested Bridger in January 2013 and he denied any involvement, telling detectives that he was a gay man who had been in several same sex relationships. He had been separately arrested by the Metropolitan Police and questioned in relation to the allegations while he was a student paramedic. Bridger did admit having sex with his rape victim but claimed that it was consensual and an experience 'that confirmed I am gay.' He claimed the other incidents had just been 'drunken fumbles' and that the women were lying. Court Recorder Mark Milliken-Smith handed down a 12 year sentence earlier today. Mr Milliken-Smith said: 'These were wicked, mean and utterly cowardly offences which have and will have serious consequences on these young women and those around them for a very long time. 'In each case the young woman in question believed you were gay. You told everyone you were gay. They never contemplated you presented a danger to them. 'They trusted you in situations they would not have allowed heterosexual men. 'You took advantage of that belief.' Mr Milliken-Smith criticised Bridger for putting his victims through the trauma of a trial. He said: 'Each of your victims has suffered great and prolonged trauma by virtue of what you have done. 'That trauma has been exacerbated quite considerably by having to relive those events at trial.' Guildford Crown Court, pictured, heard Bridger added to the women's trauma by forcing them to testify . Describing impact statements written by Bridger's victims, prosecutor Caroline Carberry said: 'The overwhelming feeling of the victims in this case are those of disbelief, self-doubt, guilt, shame and a very real sense of betrayal by someone they trusted. 'The destructive effect of this defendant's actions is very clear from the statements provided.' Brian Aldred defending, said Bridger was 'shocked and upset at the pain and distress his actions have caused for those victims'. Mr Aldred added: 'No human being is wholly evil. 'We all have our good sides and our bad sides. 'Today Christopher Bridger's bad sides are going to be there for everybody to see and he is going to be punished for them.' Bridger was jailed for eight years for rape and four years for sexual assault by penetration, to run consecutively. He was jailed for 12 months for one of the sexual assaults and six months for the other and sentenced to 18 months in prison for the inciting charge, all to run concurrently with the rape and penetration charges. The judge also told him he would spend three years on prison licence after the end of his custody spell. Bridger nodded to family members as he was led from the dock.

The race to replace Republican Governor Jan Brewer had started as a fairly quiet contest focused on health care and jobs. It shifted abruptly however when thousands of immigrant children began entering the country, with some settling in Arizona. The six candidates soon staked out hard-line positions on immigration in the quest for right-leaning Republican primary voters, repeatedly attacking the Obama administration for failing to secure the . border. Democrat Fred DuVal was unopposed in his primary and will face Ducey in November.

Some cash strapped NHS trusts have been telling consultants to switch to Avastin (file picture) Eye specialists claim a cancer drug should be used on the NHS to prevent patients going blind – even though it is unlicensed. Avastin is cheaper than the NHS-recommended treatment for age-related macular degeneration, the most common cause of vision loss in those aged over 50. According to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, Avastin could save the Health Service £100million a year. Some cash-strapped NHS trusts have been telling consultants to switch to the drug rather than use the recommended Lucentis, which is around ten times more expensive. But in doing so, doctors could fall foul of General Medical Council rules, says the Royal College. It is calling for ‘bureaucratic hurdles’ to be removed by the GMC and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) which would pave the way for use of the cheaper drug. Lucentis, which costs around £700 for an injection, is approved by Nice but Avastin, costing an estimated £70 a shot, is not licensed for eye conditions. However, findings from clinical studies suggest Avastin – used to treat bowel and breast cancer – is as effective and safe as Lucentis. Carrie MacEwen, president of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, is co-signatory to an editorial in the British Medical Journal, which appeals to the Government to remove the hurdles preventing Avastin’s use. But she falls short of encouraging eye specialists to use the drug since the GMC’s rules permit an unlicensed drug to be used only in the absence of a licensed medicine. Hospital eye services are struggling to cope with demand posed by the need for patients to have regular injections at a ‘time of austerity’, she said. ‘Consequently patients may not be getting treatment when they need it.’ A study found switching from Lucentis to Avastin could save NHS England £102million a year, and the money saved could be invested in the eye services. The Department of Health said it did not intend to ask Nice to review the use of Avastin. A spokesman said: ‘Age-related macular degeneration is a very serious condition and there are already other licensed and Nice-recommended drugs available to treat this condition.’ According to the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, Avastin could save the Health Service £100million a year (file picture)

(CNN) -- "My beat is looking for ways to create a future which is sustainable, dynamic, prosperous and fair -- a future which is both bright and green." Alex Steffen, eco-crusader and founder of Seattle-based environmental Web site Worldchanging.com, wants to save the world; and he thinks we've got 25 years to do it. Alex Steffen, founder of Worldchanging.com . "Our climate is ripping apart at the seams at a rate that's surprising even the so-called alarmists," he writes. "Natural systems are collapsing. The ocean seems headed towards a series of catastrophic tipping points. Economic inequity is producing a planet of billionaires and a billion desperate people." Steffen says the world's challenge stems from the inherently unsustainable systems embedded in our culture. He quotes statistics that say we're each using 2.3 hectares of land to support ourselves, instead of the 1.9 per person available. But, he adds, we're not sharing the world's resources fairly. "The average American uses nearly 10 hectares, the average Chinese uses only about one and a half, while the average Pakistani has only about 6/10 of a hectare," he says. Steffen and his friends were hanging out one day, talking about how potentially world-changing solutions weren't getting media coverage. As Steffen said to CNN, "There was plenty of space for talking about what was going wrong, but very little for talking about how to make things go better." So they decided to do something about it. "We decided that -- as a little bit of a hobby project really -- we'd start a blog called Worldchanging and note all the various solutions we found that we thought were interesting." Within six months, the site was so successful that Steffen had to give up his day job. Three and a half years later, Worldchanging.com is one of the most popular environmental campaigning sites on the Internet and has led to the publication of a successful companion book, "Worldchanging: A User's Guide to the 21st Century." The site -- and the book -- cover all aspects of sustainability, from living spaces to locally-produced food to green advocacy, and focuses on cutting-edge developments. Steffen's team of writers, a mixture of journalists, scientists, architects, academics and designers, share his passion for positive thinking. "It's really a kind of fun, amorphous group. It's almost more of a tribe than a business in some ways," he told CNN. And they pull no punches when it comes to the future of the planet. Steffen is bold enough to state the harsh truths that refusing a plastic bag, turning the TV off standby or switching to a duel-fuel car isn't enough to turn things around. He's frustrated by the rise of the eco-consumer and its embracement by the media, which he describes as "muddle-headed, style-over-substance, 'lite green' environmentalism." He calls this "greenwashing." "We don't need more carpool lanes. We need to eliminate fossil fuels from our economy," he writes. "We don't need more recycling bins. We need to create a closed-loop, biomimetic, neobiological industrial system. We don't need to attend a tree-planting ceremony. We need to become expert at ecosystem management and gardening the planet... We need a bright green revolution." This might sound extreme, but Steffen is in touch with a large audience who share his beliefs and his vision for the future. He describes them as "some of the best people -- people who really care and are working really hard to try and make a difference." And Steffen's lasting message is that each one of us can -- and should -- make that difference. He says, "Fundamentally, sustainability is a small problem writ big by six billion people. Each of us has a part to play on that team in making this new society possible." ................................................... What do you think of Alex Steffen's vision?

By . Sarah Griffiths . It is said that there are plenty more fish in the sea, but the popular maxim no longer holds true as fish are said to be on the road to extinction. Reports in 2010 found that over-fishing and pollution is depleting the world's fish stocks, and now a team of scientists claims to have discovered how. They state that 90 per cent of fish larvae are biologically doomed to die just days . after hatching, because of the viscosity, or 'stickiness' of the water in which they are born. On the verge of extinction? A team of scientists have found that 90 per cent of fish larvae (pictured) are biologically doomed to die just days after hatching because pollution makes the water they're born into viscous, and this slows them down when looking for food . Around 90 per cent of fish larvae are biologically doomed to die just days after hatching. The study found that ‘hydrodynamic starvation,’ or the physical inability to feed due to environmental incompatibility, is the reason so many fish larvae perish. The ‘stickiness’ or the viscosity of ocean water hampers the larvae’s attempts to feed. ‘All that determines the larvae's feeding ability is viscosity - not age, not development – only their interaction with the surrounding water, Dr Holzman explained. ‘Because the water molecules around you have weak electrical bonds, only a thin layer sticks to your skin - a mere millimetre thick. If you're a large organism, you hardly feel it. ‘But if you're a three-millimetre-sized larva, dragging a millimetre of water across your body will prevent you from propelling forward to feed. ‘So really, it’s all about larval size and its ability to grow fast and escape the size where it feels the water as viscous fluid.’ The researchers found that in less viscous water, the larvae improved their feeding ability and in theory, this water would increase their survival rate. And this stickiness is increased by pollution. A scarcity of fish spells disaster for . over a billion people around the world who are dependent on fish for . their main source of protein. The study, by Roi Holzman and Victor China of the Department of Zoology at Tel Aviv University, follows the 2010 report by the United Nations Environment Program. The research, which was conducted at the Inter-University Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat, and published in PNAS, suggests that ‘hydrodynamic starvation,’ or the physical inability to feed due to environmental incompatibility, is the reason so many fish larvae perish. Nearly all fish species reproduce externally – releasing and abandoning their sperm and eggs into the water. The fertilised eggs hatch within a couple of days and the larvae must feed themselves. They had previously fed on a yolk sac – a membrane joined to an embryo to provide early nourishment in the form of yolk – but once hatched, the vast majority die. ‘We . thought, something is going on during this period, in which the . proportional number of larvae dying is greatest,’ Dr Holzman said. ‘Our goal was to pinpoint the mechanism causing them to die. Disaster looming: A scarcity of fish spells disaster for over a billion people around the world who are dependent on fish for their main source of protein. A major report in 2010 blamed pollution levels and overfishing for the state of affairs. A fisherman casting his net in a lake in southern India is pictured . 'We saw that even under the best controlled conditions, 70 per cent of fish larvae were dying within the two weeks known as the 'critical period,' when the larvae detach from the yolk sac and open their mouths to feed,’ said Dr. Holzman. Dr Holzman said that using their understanding of the mechanism that kills off fish larvae, could help 'find a solution to the looming fish crisis in the world'. A school of larval fish is pictured . Over two years, the researchers observed fish larvae at three significant points in their development - at eight, 13 and 23-days-old, or the beginning, middle, and end of that ‘critical period’. They found that the ‘stickiness’ or the viscosity of the surrounding ocean water was hampering the larvae’s attempts to feed. Polluted seawater is typically more viscous than clean water, and cooler water is slightly gloopier than warmer bodies of water. ‘All that determines the larvae's feeding ability is viscosity - not age, not development – only their interaction with the surrounding water, Dr Holzman explained. ‘Because the water molecules around you have weak electrical bonds, only a thin layer sticks to your skin - a mere millimetre thick. If you're a large organism, you hardly feel it. ‘But if you're a three-millimetre-sized larva, dragging a millimetre of water across your body will prevent you from propelling forward to feed. ‘So really, it’s all about larval size and its ability to grow fast and escape the size where it feels the water as viscous fluid.’ The researchers found that in less viscous water, the larvae improved their feeding ability and in theory, this water would increase their survival rate. ‘We conclude that hydrodynamic starvation is the reason for their dying,’ Dr. Holzman said. ‘Imagine eating soup with a fork – that's what it's like for these larvae. They're not developed enough at the critical point to adopt the constrained feeding strategy of adult-sized, better-developed fish.’ Dr Holzman said that by using their . understanding of the mechanism that kills off the majority of the . world’s fish larvae, it could help ‘find a solution to the looming fish . crisis in the world.’ Armed with . this knowledge of the larvae's biological flaw, the researchers are . currently patenting a solution to maintain higher survival rates among . fish larvae populations.
Researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel have discovered why 90 per cent of fish larvae are dying - causing a fishing crisis .

Dr Holzman said that using their understanding of the mechanism that kills off fish larvae, could help 'find a solution to the looming fish crisis in the world'. A school of larval fish is pictured . Over two years, the researchers observed fish larvae at three significant points in their development - at eight, 13 and 23-days-old, or the beginning, middle, and end of that ‘critical period’. They found that the ‘stickiness’ or the viscosity of the surrounding ocean water was hampering the larvae’s attempts to feed. Polluted seawater is typically more viscous than clean water, and cooler water is slightly gloopier than warmer bodies of water. ‘All that determines the larvae's feeding ability is viscosity - not age, not development – only their interaction with the surrounding water, Dr Holzman explained. ‘Because the water molecules around you have weak electrical bonds, only a thin layer sticks to your skin - a mere millimetre thick. If you're a large organism, you hardly feel it. ‘But if you're a three-millimetre-sized larva, dragging a millimetre of water across your body will prevent you from propelling forward to feed. ‘So really, it’s all about larval size and its ability to grow fast and escape the size where it feels the water as viscous fluid.’ The researchers found that in less viscous water, the larvae improved their feeding ability and in theory, this water would increase their survival rate. ‘We conclude that hydrodynamic starvation is the reason for their dying,’ Dr. Holzman said. ‘Imagine eating soup with a fork – that's what it's like for these larvae. They're not developed enough at the critical point to adopt the constrained feeding strategy of adult-sized, better-developed fish.’ Dr Holzman said that by using their . understanding of the mechanism that kills off the majority of the . world’s fish larvae, it could help ‘find a solution to the looming fish . crisis in the world.’ Armed with . this knowledge of the larvae's biological flaw, the researchers are . currently patenting a solution to maintain higher survival rates among . fish larvae populations.

Editor's note: Peter Bregman is chief executive of Bregman Partners Inc., a global management consulting firm, and the author of "Point B: A Short Guide to Leading a Big Change". He writes a weekly column, How We Work, for HarvardBusiness.org. Peter Bregman says Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett shared their humanity with us. NEW YORK (CNN) -- Last Thursday my wife, Eleanor, flew to Houston, Texas, to see her grandmother, Nana, who had just suffered a debilitating stroke. Nana is 93 years old with few friends left. As she lay in a hospital bed barely able to speak, family members gathered around her to tell her they love her and to say goodbye. Saying goodbye to a loved one is an intensely personal and emotional moment. The memories of time spent together linger as we feel the love, the sadness, the loss. The same day Eleanor gathered with her family, people around the world gathered -- in person and online -- to say goodbye to two outsized public figures to whom they felt connected: Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. Michael Jackson brought us closer to life itself. We sang with him, danced with him and were amazed by his youthful exuberance and musical talent. He was the original; I still remember watching "Billie Jean" on MTV thinking, "Maybe there is something to this music video thing." He sold over 800 million albums and "Thriller" is still the No. 1 selling album of all time. He was a young man with extraordinary talent. We loved him as a young man because he remained real, with his personality shining through his music. But then something happened. As he grew up, he grew away. From himself and from us. We lost touch with his humanness, his personality, his vulnerability. And when we couldn't see that, we couldn't see him. A few years ago, Anthony Robbins, a motivational speaker who teaches about success in relationships, got divorced. People wondered if this would be the end of his career. Would his audiences abandon him when they found out? After all, how good was his advice if he couldn't hold together his own marriage? But when he spoke publicly about his divorce, people were amazingly supportive of him. The divorce, his failures, his vulnerabilities, didn't diminish him. They made him human. We can't identify with perfection. We can admire it from afar, maybe aspire to it. But we can't relate to it because we know, deep down, that we ourselves are flawed. So we trust others who recognize that about themselves, too. Michael Jackson's tragedy was the second half of his life -- when he hid behind surgery and the high walls of Neverland. Of course, trying to cover up his vulnerability was itself a vulnerability. But, in hiding, he lost himself. And so we lost him, too. That is the exact opposite of what Farrah Fawcett did. In the depths of a horrible, potentially embarrassing illness, Farrah Fawcett came out of hiding. When most of us would shoo the cameras away, she invited us in. She let us see her pain and suffering and fear and sadness. She let us see her self. So many of us fell in love with her all over again. Not for her youthful beauty or her perfection or because she represented some ideal to which we aspired. No, we fell in love with her because we saw the real her. The raw, uncut, painful her. And in her, we saw ourselves. We fell in love with her because we identified with her. Farrah's youthful beauty transformed through illness and suffering is a dark reminder of the inevitable progression of life, a reminder that we usually try to avoid. She herself tried to avoid aging for a while, with face-lifts and botox. And in her pursuit to retain her perfection, she began to lose us. But then she got real and reached out and we reached back. We reached back because of her vulnerability, not despite it. Between my starting this article and finishing the final draft, Eleanor's grandmother Nana died. Death is one of the few times in life when something is irrevocably taken from us. It's impossible to go back and relive the period of our lives when she was with us, when she was younger, when we were younger. Time moves only in one direction. And with her passing we are reminded of a time that has passed in our own lives, of moments we will never relive. It's a little bit like that with Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. We feel something deep for them too. Because they, too, touched our lives and changed us. They inspired us, excited us, empowered us. They lived with us. And with their passing, we are reminded of a part of our lives that is gone forever. Both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett caught our attention because of their particular gifts. But we care about them as people because they let us in, because they were human, real. It's their vulnerability in the context of their power that was so impossible to resist, so compelling, so moving. That's what Michael Jackson had and lost. And it's what Farrah Fawcett lost and found. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Peter Bregman.

Armed police in Germany launched a terrifying raid on a family's home to seize their four children after they defied the country's ban on home schooling. A team of 20 social workers, police officers, and special agents stormed the home of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich because they refused to send their children to state schools. The youngsters were taken to unknown locations after officials allegedly ominously promised the parents that they would not be seeing them again 'any time soon'. Seized by the state: The Wunderlich family with Mike Farris, chairman of the Home Schooling Legal Defense Association. The children aged seven to 14 were taken away after their parents defied a ban on homeschooling . The only legal grounds for the removal of the children, aged from seven to 14, were the family's insistence on home schooling their children, with no other allegations of abuse or neglect. According to court documents obtained and translated by the Home Schooling Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), officials did not even allege that the parents had failed to provide an adequate education. The raid took place on Thursday morning at 8am at the Wunderlichs' home near Darmstadt, 25 miles south of Frankfurt, in south-west Germany. Citing the parents’ failure to cooperate 'with the authorities to send the children to school', the judge even authorised the use of force 'against the children' if necessary, according to court documents cited by the HSLDA. Describing the moment police arrived at his home, Mr Wunderlich said: 'I looked through a window and saw many people, police, and special agents, all armed. 'They told me they wanted to come in to speak with me. Attack: Social workers, police officers, and special agents stormed the home of Dirk and Petra Wunderlich in Darmstadt after they refused to send their children to state schools (file photo) 'I tried to ask questions, but within seconds, three police officers brought a battering ram and were about to break the door in, so I opened it.' He went on: 'The police shoved me into a chair and wouldn’t let me even make a phone call at first. 'It was chaotic as they told me they had an order to take the children. At my slightest movement the agents would grab me, as if I were a terrorist. 'You would never expect anything like this to happen in our calm, peaceful village. It was like a scene out of a science fiction movie. 'Our neighbours and children have been traumatised by this invasion.' The Wunderlichs have, over the past four years, moved from country to country in the European Union looking for a place to where they could freely homeschool their children. Although they found refuge from homeschool persecution in France, Mr Wunderlich was unable to find work, and last year the family had to return to Germany. Within days of the family registering their presence in Darmstadt, authorities initiated a criminal truancy case, and just months later city's 'Youth Welfare Office' was granted legal custody of the children. They were allowed to remain with their parents after it was judged that they were being well treated, but authorities seized the youngsters' passports to stop them again leaving the country. Mr Wunderlich said that he and his wife had been left devastated by the authorities' decision to take their children. He said that his 14-year-old daughter Machsejah had to be forcibly taken out of the home. 'When I went outside, our neighbour was crying as she watched. I turned around to see my daughter being escorted as if she were a criminal by two big policemen,' he said. 'They weren’t being nice at all. When my wife tried to give my daughter a kiss and a hug goodbye, one of the special agents roughly elbowed her out of the way and said — "It’s too late for that". 'What kind of government acts like this?' Mrs Wunderlich said her heart was 'shattered'. 'We are empty. We need help. We are fighting, but we need help,' she said. Mike Donnelly, HSLDA's director for international affairs, accused German authorities of acting in a way reminiscent of a 'darker time' in the country's history. 'My question to the political leadership of Germany is: How long will you permit these kinds of brutal acts to be perpetrated against German families?' he said. 'Why is it so important to you to force people into your state schools? The echo of this act rings from a darker time in German history. 'When will leaders stand up and make changes so that brutality to children like the Wunderlichs no longer happens because of homeschooling? 'Isn’t there any German statesman willing to stand up for what is right anywhere in Germany?' No German officials were available to comment on the case.

If Andy Murray is going to win his first French Open title, he's going to have to do it the hard way. The Wimbledon champion, seeded seventh, has been placed in the same half of the draw as the undoubted king of clay and eight-time winner at Roland Garros, Rafael Nadal and they could meet at the semi-final stage. Australian Open title holder Stanislas Wawrinka is also a potential quarter-final opponent. Potential opponents: Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal could meet in the French Open semi-finals . Focused: Murray chats to training partner Dani Vallverdu during practice at Roland Garros . Andy missed the French Open last year because of back problems that eventually saw him undergo surgery last September. His title bid kicks off against Kazakhstan's Andrey Golubev in the first round. Murray and Golubev have only met once before in a tour event, in the final in St Petersburg in 2008, which the Scot won 6-1, 6-1. Golubev, 26, is ranked 55 but has been as high as 33 and beat Wawrinka in Davis Cup in April. Should Murray get past the Kazakh, he will play either Australia's Marinko Matosevic or German-Jamaican Dustin Brown, while talented German Philipp Kohlschreiber is the first seed he could face in round three. Ready for action: Andy Murray shakes hands with Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov during practice session . The man to beat: Nadal is hoping to win a record ninth French Open title . Defending champion Nadal, who is aiming for a record ninth French Open title, will play American wild card Robby Ginepri first up, and could meet exciting young Austrian Dominic Thiem in the second round. In the bottom half, second seed Novak Djokovic meets Joao Sousa of Portugal while Roger Federer, his potential semi-final opponent, plays Lukas Lacko.

Lim wrote on Twitter: 'So 5 minutes ago I was in the locker room speaking to Serena, asked her "oh did you make the draw, who do I play ?!" She told me no I don't look at the draw.' Williams could play sister Venus in the third round but she has a very tricky opener against 17-year-old Swiss Belinda Bencic, last year's junior champion. Serena is also seeded to face a rematch with Maria Sharapova, who she beat in last year's final, in the last eight. The women's second seed is Australian Open champion Li Na, who meets Frenchwoman Kristina Mladenovic in round one. Play at the second grand slam of the year begins at Roland Garros on Sunday.

America's contentious and costly war in Iraq officially ended Thursday with an understated ceremony in Baghdad that contrasted sharply with its thundering start almost nine years ago. U.S. troops lowered the flag of command that flew over the Iraqi capital, carefully rolled it and cased it in camouflage in accordance with Army tradition. The quiet ceremony, under a bright Iraqi sun, was the opposite of the nighttime "shock and awe" bombardment of Baghdad that launched the war against Saddam Hussein in March 2003. Justified by President George W. Bush on the grounds that Hussein was seeking weapons of mass destruction that he could share with terrorists such as al Qaeda, the invasion cased deep divisions in America and around the world. CNN Photos: Looking back at 8 years of war in Iraq . After that, men and women from Maine to Hawaii began crossing the border into Iraq -- and began dying or coming home with lifelong injuries. Hussein's regime proved easy to topple, but no weapons of mass destruction were found, and the United States and its allies were left occupying a country where they were not greeted as liberators, despite the prediction of Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney. Iraq erupted into sectarian violence, leaving U.S. troops to try to contain what threatened to become a civil war. Improvised explosive device became a household term, traumatic brain injuries a signature wound of the war. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who flew into Baghdad for Thursday's flag-lowering ceremony, recalled that when he visited in 2006 as a member of Bush's Iraq Study Group, "sectarian violence was skyrocketing, and it seemed as if nothing was working." But, he said, "After a lot of blood spilled by Iraqis and Americans, the mission of an Iraq that could govern and secure itself has become real." On Thursday, the Iraq war officially ended as President Barack Obama described it: not with a final battle but with a final march home for U.S. troops. In all, the United States spent more than $800 billion in Iraq. Panetta reflected on a greater cost. He said the United States was "deeply indebted" to all Americans in uniform. Nearly 4,500 of them were killed in this war, more than 30,000 wounded. In their own words: Eight lives changed by the Iraq war . And he hailed the advances made in Iraq since Hussein was ousted. "This is a time for Iraq to look forward," he said. "This is an opportunity for Iraq to forge ahead on a path to security and prosperity. We owe it to all of the lives that were sacrificed in this war not to fail." No one knows how many Iraqis have been killed since March 2003, but the independent public database Iraq Body Count has compiled reports of more than 150,000 between the invasion and October 2010, with four out of five dead being civilians. Thousands of other Iraqis struggle to cope with lives marred by war. For them, the battle goes on as the Americans leave behind a fragile nation struggling to establish democracy, struggling to establish stability. Violence still claims innocent lives in Iraq. People are frustrated with the lack of electricity. Baghdad is awash in trash. No one can predict Iraq's future without the presence of Americans. "As long as there are assassinations and explosions from time to time in this country, then of course I have fears," said ministry of transportation employee Abu Hadeel. "When I walk in a crowded street, I have concern of any sudden explosion. There are no guarantees." Student Moutazz Sami said Iraq was not prepared militarily or politically to handle challenges. But businessman Ethar Mohammed said "every beginning has an end." "The political divisions are huge and no one knows what will happen after December 31," the date by which American troops must leave, said Iraqi journalist Mina al-Oraibi, assistant editor-in-chief of Asharq Alawsat newspaper in London. Fareed Zakaria on Iraq's oil potential . All U.S. troops must be out of Iraq by the end of this month after Washington and Baghdad failed to agree on terms under which they could remain. At the height of the war in 2007, when Bush ordered a so-called surge, more than 170,000 American troops were stationed in Iraq, living on more than 500 bases and outposts across the nation. As of Tuesday, only 5,500 American troops remained. A senior defense official traveling with Panetta said that some troops -- perhaps 3,000 to 4,000 -- will remain in Kuwait for a certain period of time but said the details have not been worked out with the Kuwaitis. Only half of Americans think their nation achieved its goals in Iraq, according to a CNN/ORC International poll conducted last month. Still, 61% favored the withdrawal of all troops by the end of the year. And 68% said they opposed the war in Iraq. Opinion: I'm grateful my husband served in Afghanistan, not Iraq . Iraqis, on the other hand, are worried that the United States wants to disengage from their country entirely, al-Oraibi said, pointing out that Obama came to office partly on the strength of his opposition to the war and sent Vice President Joe Biden to visit recently rather than coming himself. But Brett McGurk, a former adviser to three U.S. ambassadors, pointed out that U.S. disengagement has been a process, rather than a sudden action. Iraq, he said, has been in charge of its own security since 2009. "It's not like we were controlling Iraq's security situation last week, and now we're suddenly leaving," he said. "We haven't had troops in Baghdad for over two years." Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, explained in practical terms what the end of the U.S. military mission meant. Departing from his prepared text, he said he had been able to fly into Iraq on this occasion simply because he wanted to do so. "The next time I come here, I'm going to have to be invited by the Iraqi government, and I kind of like that," Dempsey said before concluding his speech with thanks and a blessing in Arabic. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States will help the people "realize their own ambitions for a free and sovereign Iraq." It also will work closely with the Iraqi government to ensure the safety of U.S. civilians staying in the country, she said. "I think it's understood this is one of the most challenging missions that the State Department has ever led, but we've had a great deal of thought given to what needs to be accomplished," Clinton said in Washington. Back home, many of those Americans who sacrificed in Iraq harbor mixed feelings about the war. But if Iraq can emerge as a free and democratic nation, every American soldier should feel proud, said retired Army Gen. Mark Kimmitt. "If that's the case, then these soldiers can say, yes, indeed, they won," he said. "Every soldier and their families should walk away extremely satisfied and proud of what they accomplished and what they left behind. I just hope it can remain that way." Obama laid out that same message as he welcomed home returning troops Wednesday at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. "Because of you, because you sacrificed so much for a people that you had never met, Iraqis have a chance to forge their own destiny," Obama said. "That's part of what makes us special as Americans. Unlike the empires of old, we did so not for territory or for resources. We do it because it's right. Obama said there was no fuller expression of U.S. support for self-determination than its withdrawal from Iraq. That, he said, speaks volumes for the American people.
U.S. committed to assisting Iraq, Clinton says . A quiet ceremony ends a costly war that divided America . In Baghdad, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta pays tribute to U.S. troops . More than 4,500 American troops have died in Iraq since 2003 .

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.America's contentious and costly war in Iraq officially ended Thursday with an understated ceremony in Baghdad that contrasted sharply with its thundering start almost nine years ago. U.S. troops lowered the flag of command that flew over the Iraqi capital, carefully rolled it and cased it in camouflage in accordance with Army tradition. The quiet ceremony, under a bright Iraqi sun, was the opposite of the nighttime "shock and awe" bombardment of Baghdad that launched the war against Saddam Hussein in March 2003. Justified by President George W. Bush on the grounds that Hussein was seeking weapons of mass destruction that he could share with terrorists such as al Qaeda, the invasion cased deep divisions in America and around the world. CNN Photos: Looking back at 8 years of war in Iraq . After that, men and women from Maine to Hawaii began crossing the border into Iraq -- and began dying or coming home with lifelong injuries. Hussein's regime proved easy to topple, but no weapons of mass destruction were found, and the United States and its allies were left occupying a country where they were not greeted as liberators, despite the prediction of Bush's vice president, Dick Cheney. Iraq erupted into sectarian violence, leaving U.S. troops to try to contain what threatened to become a civil war. Improvised explosive device became a household term, traumatic brain injuries a signature wound of the war. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, who flew into Baghdad for Thursday's flag-lowering ceremony, recalled that when he visited in 2006 as a member of Bush's Iraq Study Group, "sectarian violence was skyrocketing, and it seemed as if nothing was working." But, he said, "After a lot of blood spilled by Iraqis and Americans, the mission of an Iraq that could govern and secure itself has become real." On Thursday, the Iraq war officially ended as President Barack Obama described it: not with a final battle but with a final march home for U.S. troops. In all, the United States spent more than $800 billion in Iraq. Panetta reflected on a greater cost. He said the United States was "deeply indebted" to all Americans in uniform. Nearly 4,500 of them were killed in this war, more than 30,000 wounded. In their own words: Eight lives changed by the Iraq war . And he hailed the advances made in Iraq since Hussein was ousted. "This is a time for Iraq to look forward," he said. "This is an opportunity for Iraq to forge ahead on a path to security and prosperity. We owe it to all of the lives that were sacrificed in this war not to fail." No one knows how many Iraqis have been killed since March 2003, but the independent public database Iraq Body Count has compiled reports of more than 150,000 between the invasion and October 2010, with four out of five dead being civilians. Thousands of other Iraqis struggle to cope with lives marred by war. For them, the battle goes on as the Americans leave behind a fragile nation struggling to establish democracy, struggling to establish stability. Violence still claims innocent lives in Iraq. People are frustrated with the lack of electricity. Baghdad is awash in trash. No one can predict Iraq's future without the presence of Americans. "As long as there are assassinations and explosions from time to time in this country, then of course I have fears," said ministry of transportation employee Abu Hadeel. "When I walk in a crowded street, I have concern of any sudden explosion. There are no guarantees." Student Moutazz Sami said Iraq was not prepared militarily or politically to handle challenges. But businessman Ethar Mohammed said "every beginning has an end." "The political divisions are huge and no one knows what will happen after December 31," the date by which American troops must leave, said Iraqi journalist Mina al-Oraibi, assistant editor-in-chief of Asharq Alawsat newspaper in London. Fareed Zakaria on Iraq's oil potential . All U.S. troops must be out of Iraq by the end of this month after Washington and Baghdad failed to agree on terms under which they could remain. At the height of the war in 2007, when Bush ordered a so-called surge, more than 170,000 American troops were stationed in Iraq, living on more than 500 bases and outposts across the nation. As of Tuesday, only 5,500 American troops remained. A senior defense official traveling with Panetta said that some troops -- perhaps 3,000 to 4,000 -- will remain in Kuwait for a certain period of time but said the details have not been worked out with the Kuwaitis. Only half of Americans think their nation achieved its goals in Iraq, according to a CNN/ORC International poll conducted last month. Still, 61% favored the withdrawal of all troops by the end of the year. And 68% said they opposed the war in Iraq. Opinion: I'm grateful my husband served in Afghanistan, not Iraq . Iraqis, on the other hand, are worried that the United States wants to disengage from their country entirely, al-Oraibi said, pointing out that Obama came to office partly on the strength of his opposition to the war and sent Vice President Joe Biden to visit recently rather than coming himself. But Brett McGurk, a former adviser to three U.S. ambassadors, pointed out that U.S. disengagement has been a process, rather than a sudden action. Iraq, he said, has been in charge of its own security since 2009. "It's not like we were controlling Iraq's security situation last week, and now we're suddenly leaving," he said. "We haven't had troops in Baghdad for over two years." Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, explained in practical terms what the end of the U.S. military mission meant. Departing from his prepared text, he said he had been able to fly into Iraq on this occasion simply because he wanted to do so. "The next time I come here, I'm going to have to be invited by the Iraqi government, and I kind of like that," Dempsey said before concluding his speech with thanks and a blessing in Arabic. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the United States will help the people "realize their own ambitions for a free and sovereign Iraq." It also will work closely with the Iraqi government to ensure the safety of U.S. civilians staying in the country, she said. "I think it's understood this is one of the most challenging missions that the State Department has ever led, but we've had a great deal of thought given to what needs to be accomplished," Clinton said in Washington.

A 26-year-old hairdresser is celebrating after what she thought was a $1,000 winning lottery ticket turned out to be worth a staggering $1.3million. Ligia Dennis was waiting for her clothes to finish washing at a Laundromat in Los Angeles, California, when she decided to buy a coffee from a donut shop across the street.

By . Simon Tomlinson . PUBLISHED: . 10:15 EST, 25 March 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 11:49 EST, 25 March 2012 . Women may soon be able to forgo the menopause after scientists hailed a major breakthrough in the success of transplanted ovaries. It comes after the cases of three ladies who all conceived naturally and gave birth to seven babies after receiving ovary transplants. Medical experts believe the technology could be as significant as the pill was in giving woman the choice about when to have children. 'Amazing': Stinne Holm Bergholdt, who was left infertile after suffering cancer, has pioneered a groundbreaking ovarian transplant treatment, which enabled her to give birth to three babies and could be used to stop the menopause . One of the women had her tissue frozen and inserted back into her at a later date, while the other two received ovaries extracted from an identical twin to prevent rejection. The results showed that transplanted ovaries could remain effective for at least seven years and raise the possibility of being able to stop the menopause and allow women to delay motherhood. Stinne Holm Bergholt, 35, went on to give birth to three babies after chemotherapy for bone cancer left her infertile. Ending the end of motherhood: Dr Sherman Silber, director of the Infertility Center of St Louis, Missouri, has hailed the breakthrough . Before the chemotherapy, however, she had one of her ovaries taken out and transplanted back in afterwards. Holm Bergholt, a Danish doctor, told The Sunday Times: 'Seven years back, I had just finished chemotherapy and my body was very weak. 'Now I have three children and I am living a normal life. It's amazing.' Sherman Silber, one of the lead scientists and a member of the Infertility Centre of St Louis, Missouri, said: 'It is possible to remove a small piece of ovarian tissue, freeze it, and when the woman reaches menopause around the age of 51, we could transplant that tissue back and she might not ever have to go through menopause.' The findings, to be published in the medical journal Reproductive Biomedicine Online, have led to plans to offer British women the option of freezing parts of their ovaries in the twenties. Gedis Grudzinskas, a consultant gynaecologist in London, said: 'Women will have so much choice about when and how to have children, independent of their age and the so-called biological clocks ticking away at various rates in their ovaries.'

Far from the maddening roar of Formula One, Daniel Ricciardo's preparations for the Japan Grand Prix took a peaceful turn as the Red Bull driver visited sacred temples in Tokyo. The Australian, who stands third in the F1 drivers' championship, tried his hand at the ancient Zen Bhuddist meditation discipline of Zazen on Wednesday as he explored the Shinto area of Japan's capital. Ricciardo, 25, also took part in a Japanese Shinto prayer at the nearby Asakusa Shrine, one of the area's most famous holy buildings known also as the Sanja-sama, or Shrine of the Three gods. It was a major change of pace for Ricciardo, who's been a revelation in a debut season with Red Bull that's seen his three race wins and seven podiums overshadow team-mate Sebastian Vettel, the four-times consecutive champion. Daniel Ricciardo meditates in the Zenshoan Temple in Tokyo ahead of the Japanese Formula One Grand Prix . Red Bull driver Ricciardo takes part in Zazen, a Zen Bhuddist meditation discipline at the famous Zenshoan Temple on Wednesday . Ricciardo is hit with a 'keisaku', which can be translated into a 'warning stick' or 'awakening stick', and used by the jikijitsu (right) to keep his subjects concentrating . With five races left in the season, starting with Suzuka on Sunday, Lewis Hamilton holds a narrow lead over his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, with Ricciardo a further 57 points adrift. But with the Brit and the German set to continue their season's battle for the top spot until the last race in Abu Dhabi, many pundits already consider Ricciardo the big winner. Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan says the Aussie has been a revelation for the sport. 'He's one of the best things to happen to F1 in a very long time,' Jordan told the BBC's website in a Q&A with readers. 'He is the surprise package of the year. If you'd said to me at the beginning of the year that this guy would win three races and Vettel would win none, I would have said you were dreaming.' Ricciardo bows during a Gokito, or Japanese Shinto prayer, at the Asakusa Shrine in Tokyo . Ricciardo is given a traditional umbrella to shield him from the rain as he walks in the grounds of the Asakusa Shrine in Tokyo . The Australian, who stands third in the F1 drivers' championship drinks Japanese team as part of the Shinto Prayer . While he doesn't think Ricciardo can win, the lad from Perth has every intention to chase the next rung on the podium come year's end. Even with mechanical issues - including a battering malfunction on lap one - hindering his run last time out in Singapore, he managed to salvage third place at the Marina Bay Circuit. A lack of power meant that although he caught up to Vettel, he couldn't find a way past his team-mate who finished in second. 'We definitely had a few issues and we tried fixing them but, to be honest, we didn't quite clear it all up,' Ricciardo said after the race.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.Far from the maddening roar of Formula One, Daniel Ricciardo's preparations for the Japan Grand Prix took a peaceful turn as the Red Bull driver visited sacred temples in Tokyo. The Australian, who stands third in the F1 drivers' championship, tried his hand at the ancient Zen Bhuddist meditation discipline of Zazen on Wednesday as he explored the Shinto area of Japan's capital. Ricciardo, 25, also took part in a Japanese Shinto prayer at the nearby Asakusa Shrine, one of the area's most famous holy buildings known also as the Sanja-sama, or Shrine of the Three gods. It was a major change of pace for Ricciardo, who's been a revelation in a debut season with Red Bull that's seen his three race wins and seven podiums overshadow team-mate Sebastian Vettel, the four-times consecutive champion. Daniel Ricciardo meditates in the Zenshoan Temple in Tokyo ahead of the Japanese Formula One Grand Prix . Red Bull driver Ricciardo takes part in Zazen, a Zen Bhuddist meditation discipline at the famous Zenshoan Temple on Wednesday . Ricciardo is hit with a 'keisaku', which can be translated into a 'warning stick' or 'awakening stick', and used by the jikijitsu (right) to keep his subjects concentrating . With five races left in the season, starting with Suzuka on Sunday, Lewis Hamilton holds a narrow lead over his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, with Ricciardo a further 57 points adrift. But with the Brit and the German set to continue their season's battle for the top spot until the last race in Abu Dhabi, many pundits already consider Ricciardo the big winner. Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan says the Aussie has been a revelation for the sport. 'He's one of the best things to happen to F1 in a very long time,' Jordan told the BBC's website in a Q&A with readers. 'He is the surprise package of the year. If you'd said to me at the beginning of the year that this guy would win three races and Vettel would win none, I would have said you were dreaming.' Ricciardo bows during a Gokito, or Japanese Shinto prayer, at the Asakusa Shrine in Tokyo . Ricciardo is given a traditional umbrella to shield him from the rain as he walks in the grounds of the Asakusa Shrine in Tokyo . The Australian, who stands third in the F1 drivers' championship drinks Japanese team as part of the Shinto Prayer . While he doesn't think Ricciardo can win, the lad from Perth has every intention to chase the next rung on the podium come year's end. Even with mechanical issues - including a battering malfunction on lap one - hindering his run last time out in Singapore, he managed to salvage third place at the Marina Bay Circuit. A lack of power meant that although he caught up to Vettel, he couldn't find a way past his team-mate who finished in second. 'We definitely had a few issues and we tried fixing them but, to be honest, we didn't quite clear it all up,' Ricciardo said after the race. 'I was a bit frustrated, a bit concerned as well that we wouldn't get it to the flag, but luckily it held on. 'We'll just have look at it and I'm sure we'll fix it for Japan.'

By . Bianca London . PUBLISHED: . 05:56 EST, 16 July 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 05:59 EST, 16 July 2013 . Women in Zimbabwe are being charged $5 (£3.30) every time they scream whilst giving birth. A new report from Transparency International, which focuses on corruption around the world, found that a local hospital in one of Africa’s poorest countries was administering the hospital screaming fee to women who 'raised a false alarm'. Hospitals in Zimbabwe charge a $50 (£33) delivery fee on top of that so with the average person's annual income at around $150 (£99), mothers who scream several times may have to part with half of their annual income. New Zimbabwean mothers are charged a $5 (£3.30) 'screaming fee' whilst giving birth in hospital as well as a $50 (£33) delivery fee (stock image) And worse still, the report found that those women who couldn't afford the fees were sometimes detained at the hospital, being charged interest until their family were able to pay off the debts for them. This leads numerous Zimbabwean mothers to give birth at home because they simply can’t afford the charges. The United Nations found that on average eight mothers die every day during childbirth in the poverty-stricken country. The Washington Post reports that Transparency International's Zimbabwe office contacted the national health ministry by sending a formal letter regarding the issue. The report also found that those women who couldn't afford the fees were sometimes detained at the hospital, being charged interest until their family can pay off the debts (stock image) While the health ministry confirmed it had received the letter, they apparently did nothing about it. When the NGO later contacted them to follow up, an official said that they had lost the letter. A member of Transparency International then met with Arthur Mutambara, Zimbabwe’s deputy prime minister, who promised them he would look into the screaming fee issue. The NGO now say they have had no more complaints about screaming charges; however, the $50 (£33) delivery charge still remains. The screaming fee is just one of many examples of corruption in Zimbabwe. It has also been revealed that a staggering 62 percent of people have paid a bribe to a public official in the past year.

If you’ve ever sent a text to the wrong person, or regretted texting someone while drunk, then the Ansa app could offer some piece of mind. It works in a similar way to Snapchat, by automatically deleting messages, photos and videos seconds after they’ve been viewed. However, unlike Snapchat, Ansa lets you also delete messages remotely, from another person’s device, before they get a chance to read it. Scroll down for video . Ansa (pictured) was created by 23-year-old Natalie Bryla from San Francisco. It lets people send self-destructing messages, photos and videos when using the ‘off the record’ mode. Users can see when people have read their messages and if a text is sent by mistake, it can be deleted from the other user’s device . The free Ansa app is available on iOS and Android and was created by 23-year-old Natalie Bryla from San Francisco. ‘Ansa is the safest place to let go, and be yourself with friends,’ said Ansa. ‘It’s the only messaging app that lets you communicate like you do in person, without leaving a record behind. ‘With Ansa you can go ‘off the record’, and have full conversations that automatically disappear; send self-destructing photos and videos that only last for seconds; and take back the messages you already shared using synced deletion.’ Videos and photos only appear when a user clicks ‘Tap to view’, and once viewed it is visible for 60 seconds before being deleted. However, people don’t have to use the ‘off the record’ function, and can use Ansa to save conversations in a similar way to other messaging apps such as Whatsapp or Skype . Ansa (pictured left) is the latest in a line of Snapchat rivals, which include Facebook's Slingshot (pictured centre) and Instagram's Bolt (pictured right) Only users of the app can message each other in 'off the record' mode. The self-destruct feature does not apply to messages, photos or videos sent using traditional methods or through other apps. Videos and photos only appear when a user clicks ‘Tap to view’, and once viewed are only be visible for 60 seconds before being deleted from both users’ phones. Photos and videos can also be annotated, and captions can be added. However, people don’t have to use the ‘off the record’ function, and can use Ansa to save conversations in a similar way to other messaging apps such as Whatsapp or Viber by not enabling this tool. In February Facebook bought messaging app WhatsApp for $19 billion (£11.4 billion), after failing in a previous $3 billion to buy Snapchat. At the start of April, Vine revealed its ‘Vine Messages’ service that enabled users to send messages to each other. This directly followed once-popular social network Bebo’s attempts to get back into the game with Blab, their own video messaging service. Facebook, meanwhile, is busy trying to increase the profile of its Messenger app, with rumours that it will shift WhatsApp users onto its native messaging client. Facebook announced a selfie feature for Messenger that makes it easier to send people pictures of yourself. It then announced Snapchat rival Slingshot in June. Instagram announced Instagram Direct, a direct messaging service last December, and later announced Bolt - designed to be another rival to Snapchat - in July. In May, Snapchat released the ability to chat with friends in real time via messenger.

This is the man charged with murdering great-grandmother Palmira Silva, who was brutally beheaded in a machete attack in her garden. Nicholas Salvador, 25, is unemployed and was staying with a friend a few doors from the 82-year-old widow in Edmonton, North London. CCTV has emerged of Mr Salvador's movements two hours before the murder, which shows him eating a quarter-pounder burger and an egg in a nearby cafe before apparently walking out without paying. Scroll down for video . Under guard: Nicholas Salvador, 25 (left), has been charged with murdering great-grandmother Palmira Silva . A friend said: ‘He was always down, he never smiled, he never had any money. He was a known failure.’ He was stopped by staff and returned to settle the bill, according to the footage published in The Sun. Waitress Hayley Kaya, 27, told the newspaper he 'looked as if his mind was somewhere else' but added: 'At the time I served him he just seemed like a normal customer.' Last night Salvador was charged with murdering Mrs Silva and with assaulting a police officer. He is due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in north London later this morning. Nicknamed ‘Fat Nick’, the would-be cage fighter being held by police left home 11 years ago. Last night a friend said: ‘Nicholas is an only child and his parents brought him here from Nigeria. But when he was about 13 or 14 he left home.' 'The truth is, he has never felt loved. He has been unlucky all his life. ‘He was always down, he never smiled, he never had any money. He was a known failure.’ Another friend said: ‘He is from a Muslim background but he is not a good Muslim – he gambles, plays roulette. Killed: Great-grandmother Palmira Silva was found beheaded on Thursday in a horrific attack . Happy family: Palmira and her late husband Domenico with their now grown-up children, Celestina and Rino . 'When he left home his mum found him a room somewhere and said she would pay two months’ rent, and after that he was on his own.’ A former classmate at Salisbury School, Edmonton, said: ‘We used to call him St Nicholas because he never got up to anything. He was always saying he wanted a girlfriend.’ Virgin Media worker Myrvin Kirwan, 36, who was in the house next door when the murder happened on Thursday, said: ‘He jumped over the fence and he was standing there with a machete. 'He had blood on his hands. He was looking straight at me, but it was almost as if he was looking straight through me.’ Salvador had been taken to hospital and remained under police guard before being questioned by officers and charged late last night. Investigation: Police at the scene on Thursday in Edmonton, north London . Tributes: Tributes gathered outside one of the London snack bars which had been run by the 82-year-old . Police were forced to stage a dramatic evacuation operation to save neighbours during the incident, and an armed squad Tasered the suspect as he struggled against officers, leaving one with a broken wrist. The house in the busy street where the Italian widow's body was found was the scene of a major police operation after officers were called to the scene initially to reports that a man had beheaded an animal. Scotland Yard said that its officers distracted the man after he was seen going through back gardens in Nightingale Road to prevent him attacking anyone else, while they evacuated people from nearby homes. Palmira Silva moved to London from her native Italy with her husband Domenico to start a new life. They married, started a family and began a successful restaurant business. But six decades on from the day they set foot in the capital, Mrs Silva would become a tragic victim of the other side of Britain, horrifically slaughtered in her garden by a machete-wielding killer. Last night members of the 82-year-old widow’s extended family were in shock as they struggled to come to terms with how anyone could murder a great-grandmother described by neighbours and those who got to know her as ‘an angel… a lovely, smiling grandma’. Her daughter Celestina told the Daily Mail: ‘It’s just the most horrendous thing to do to another human being. We simply can’t make any sense of it.’ Mrs Silva arrived in Britain from southern Italy in the 1950s and immediately found a job as a nanny. Domenico had travelled separately to England but knew he had found his future wife from the moment he first saw her. Yesterday friends and local residents paid tribute to Mrs Silva and sent condolences to her family. Dilek Solma, 19, who works in a shop next door, described her as ‘an angel with a lovely smile’ adding: 'She was really kind' As police remained in the streets Mrs Silva's cafe became a focus for tributes, turning into a carpet of flowers . Together they saved enough money to fulfil a dream of starting their own business and raised Celestina and a son, Rino, making sure they immersed themselves in English culture without forgetting their Italian roots. They ran a succession of cafes and snack bars in different parts of the city before settling in North London. Mr Silva died in 2008 but in Edmonton, the family continued the business with Silva’s Cafe building up a solid base of regular customers who enjoyed Mrs Silva’s friendliness as much as her food. Mrs Silva's daughter said: 'She knew the area was changing but she was determined to stay' She had only recently stopped working full time at the cafe that she and her son ran in Church Street, a few minutes walk from her home. Known there as Pam, she had become a much loved and familiar face, gradually handing over the running to Rino, now 53, after her husband died. Mrs Silva had been back from a family holiday in Italy for only a week when she died. Celestina, 49, said: ‘She knew the area was changing but she was determined to stay. It seems such a dreadful, senseless waste.’ Yesterday friends and local residents paid tribute to Mrs Silva and sent condolences to her family. Dilek Solma, 19, who works in a shop next door, described her as ‘an angel with a lovely smile’ adding: ‘She was really kind… just so nice.’ Andrew Zouvani, 66, owner of Guy’s Hair Salon opposite the cafe, said: ‘I’ve known her for 35 years, I used to go over and she would serve me drinks, she was really nice. ‘She was a very nice lady, and she wouldn’t give up working. We would joke that I couldn’t understand her after 35 years because of her strong Italian accent.’ Chris Moles, 44, a worker at a Church Street florist, said: ‘She was a very friendly lady. She was lovely really, like a lovely grandma.’ By last night the cafe had become a focal point for tributes, a carpet of flowers and wreaths growing in front of the shuttered doors. Most were left by shocked friends, customers and nearby local businesses, one describing her as ‘a truly wonderful lady’. Another encapsulated local anger and grief in six poignant words: ‘One more angel taken,’ it said. ‘So sad.’ Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.This is the man charged with murdering great-grandmother Palmira Silva, who was brutally beheaded in a machete attack in her garden. Nicholas Salvador, 25, is unemployed and was staying with a friend a few doors from the 82-year-old widow in Edmonton, North London. CCTV has emerged of Mr Salvador's movements two hours before the murder, which shows him eating a quarter-pounder burger and an egg in a nearby cafe before apparently walking out without paying. Scroll down for video . Under guard: Nicholas Salvador, 25 (left), has been charged with murdering great-grandmother Palmira Silva . A friend said: ‘He was always down, he never smiled, he never had any money. He was a known failure.’ He was stopped by staff and returned to settle the bill, according to the footage published in The Sun. Waitress Hayley Kaya, 27, told the newspaper he 'looked as if his mind was somewhere else' but added: 'At the time I served him he just seemed like a normal customer.' Last night Salvador was charged with murdering Mrs Silva and with assaulting a police officer. He is due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in north London later this morning. Nicknamed ‘Fat Nick’, the would-be cage fighter being held by police left home 11 years ago. Last night a friend said: ‘Nicholas is an only child and his parents brought him here from Nigeria. But when he was about 13 or 14 he left home.' 'The truth is, he has never felt loved. He has been unlucky all his life. ‘He was always down, he never smiled, he never had any money. He was a known failure.’ Another friend said: ‘He is from a Muslim background but he is not a good Muslim – he gambles, plays roulette. Killed: Great-grandmother Palmira Silva was found beheaded on Thursday in a horrific attack . Happy family: Palmira and her late husband Domenico with their now grown-up children, Celestina and Rino . 'When he left home his mum found him a room somewhere and said she would pay two months’ rent, and after that he was on his own.’ A former classmate at Salisbury School, Edmonton, said: ‘We used to call him St Nicholas because he never got up to anything. He was always saying he wanted a girlfriend.’ Virgin Media worker Myrvin Kirwan, 36, who was in the house next door when the murder happened on Thursday, said: ‘He jumped over the fence and he was standing there with a machete. 'He had blood on his hands. He was looking straight at me, but it was almost as if he was looking straight through me.’ Salvador had been taken to hospital and remained under police guard before being questioned by officers and charged late last night. Investigation: Police at the scene on Thursday in Edmonton, north London . Tributes: Tributes gathered outside one of the London snack bars which had been run by the 82-year-old . Police were forced to stage a dramatic evacuation operation to save neighbours during the incident, and an armed squad Tasered the suspect as he struggled against officers, leaving one with a broken wrist. The house in the busy street where the Italian widow's body was found was the scene of a major police operation after officers were called to the scene initially to reports that a man had beheaded an animal. Scotland Yard said that its officers distracted the man after he was seen going through back gardens in Nightingale Road to prevent him attacking anyone else, while they evacuated people from nearby homes. Palmira Silva moved to London from her native Italy with her husband Domenico to start a new life. They married, started a family and began a successful restaurant business. But six decades on from the day they set foot in the capital, Mrs Silva would become a tragic victim of the other side of Britain, horrifically slaughtered in her garden by a machete-wielding killer. Last night members of the 82-year-old widow’s extended family were in shock as they struggled to come to terms with how anyone could murder a great-grandmother described by neighbours and those who got to know her as ‘an angel… a lovely, smiling grandma’. Her daughter Celestina told the Daily Mail: ‘It’s just the most horrendous thing to do to another human being. We simply can’t make any sense of it.’ Mrs Silva arrived in Britain from southern Italy in the 1950s and immediately found a job as a nanny. Domenico had travelled separately to England but knew he had found his future wife from the moment he first saw her. Yesterday friends and local residents paid tribute to Mrs Silva and sent condolences to her family. Dilek Solma, 19, who works in a shop next door, described her as ‘an angel with a lovely smile’ adding: 'She was really kind' As police remained in the streets Mrs Silva's cafe became a focus for tributes, turning into a carpet of flowers . Together they saved enough money to fulfil a dream of starting their own business and raised Celestina and a son, Rino, making sure they immersed themselves in English culture without forgetting their Italian roots. They ran a succession of cafes and snack bars in different parts of the city before settling in North London. Mr Silva died in 2008 but in Edmonton, the family continued the business with Silva’s Cafe building up a solid base of regular customers who enjoyed Mrs Silva’s friendliness as much as her food. Mrs Silva's daughter said: 'She knew the area was changing but she was determined to stay' She had only recently stopped working full time at the cafe that she and her son ran in Church Street, a few minutes walk from her home. Known there as Pam, she had become a much loved and familiar face, gradually handing over the running to Rino, now 53, after her husband died. Mrs Silva had been back from a family holiday in Italy for only a week when she died. Celestina, 49, said: ‘She knew the area was changing but she was determined to stay. It seems such a dreadful, senseless waste.’ Yesterday friends and local residents paid tribute to Mrs Silva and sent condolences to her family. Dilek Solma, 19, who works in a shop next door, described her as ‘an angel with a lovely smile’ adding: ‘She was really kind… just so nice.’ Andrew Zouvani, 66, owner of Guy’s Hair Salon opposite the cafe, said: ‘I’ve known her for 35 years, I used to go over and she would serve me drinks, she was really nice. ‘She was a very nice lady, and she wouldn’t give up working. We would joke that I couldn’t understand her after 35 years because of her strong Italian accent.’ Chris Moles, 44, a worker at a Church Street florist, said: ‘She was a very friendly lady. She was lovely really, like a lovely grandma.’ By last night the cafe had become a focal point for tributes, a carpet of flowers and wreaths growing in front of the shuttered doors. Most were left by shocked friends, customers and nearby local businesses, one describing her as ‘a truly wonderful lady’. Another encapsulated local anger and grief in six poignant words: ‘One more angel taken,’ it said. ‘So sad.’ Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Andy Mangan handed Shrewsbury a shock Capital One Cup victory over Barclays Premier League new-boys Leicester. Mangan, a free-transfer signing from Forest Green Rovers during the summer, scored the only goal of the night at the King Power Stadium to send the League Two Shrews into the third round. It was nothing more than Micky Mellon's side deserved as there was often little to determine which team was in the top flight and the other three leagues below. Winner: Andy Mangan whipped in a free-kick to hand Shrewsbury Town a 1-0 victory against Leicester City . Leicester City: Hamer, Pearson, Konchesky, Cain (King 58), Wasilewski, Moore, Knockaert, Watson (Nugent 58), Wood, Taylor-Fletcher, Mahrez (Schlupp 70). Subs Not Used: Morgan, Hopper, Barmby, Smith. Booked: Mahrez. Shrewsbury Town: Leutwiler, Goldson, Woods, Demetriou, Grandison, Knight-Percival, Clark (Akpa-Akpro 85), Wesolowski, Gayle, Mangan (Vernon 40), Collins (Robinson 85). Subs Not Used: Wildig, Caton, Halstead, Smith. Booked: Woods, Gayle. Goals: Mangan 38. Att: 8,017 . With one point from their opening two matches on their return to the big time, if City boss Nigel Pearson had been looking at this game as a springboard to get his team's season rolling, then he was sorely mistaken. Readily conceding to a selection with one eye on Sunday's visit of Arsenal, Pearson made eight changes overall, with the inclusion of four debutants. Goalkeeper Ben Hamer, in for Kasper Schmeichel following the former's summer arrival from Charlton, was not too much of a surprise. More so, though, were three rookies in defender James Pearson and midfielders Michael Cain and Ryan Watson. The resultant performance was far below Premier League standard, especially in the first half as a disjointed City were barely at the races as they lacked urgency and enthusiasm. Instead, it was left to journeyman striker Mangan to net his fourth goal in four matches with a 22-yard free-kick in the 38th minute. Pulled up: Mangan injured his hamstring scoring for Shrewsbury, which turned out to be a shock winner . The only downside for Mellon and Mangan is that it proved to be the 27-year-old's last kick of the game as he appeared to sustain a hamstring injury in striking the ball. Regardless of Pearson's changes, City should have taken the lead after just 30 seconds, but an angled left-foot strike from Riyad Mahrez produced a fine save from Jayson Leutwiler, a free transfer capture from Middlesbrough over the summer. Shrewsbury could easily have been rattled, but they hit back in the third minute, with a header from James Collins forcing Hamer into a tip-over save. Captain-for-the-night Paul Konchesky then struck a rising left-foot shot from 20 yards that was easy pickings for Leutwiler, before Jordan Clark fired his own left-footer narrowly over the bar. After 18 minutes, City were again indebted to Hamer for another superb fingertip save as he nudged a stunning strike from Mickey Demetriou over the woodwork. Out muscled: Leicester City failed to score against League Two side Shrewsbury, who deservedly won 1-0 . Six minutes later, and for a split second it appeared City would be given a penalty when Mahrez seemed to have his leg taken away from under him by Town captain Connor Goldson. Refere Simon Hooper saw differently, however, and instead booked the Leicester winger for simulation. Leicester then should again have taken the lead with two chances in the space of three minutes, but first Leutwiler made a reaction stop to Marcin Wesilewski's hooked volley. That was followed by the towering Chris Wood planting a header against the crossbar in meeting a free-kick from just outside the left-hand edge of the penalty area from Anthony Knockaert. The missed opportunities proved costly because seven minutes from the break the Shrews grabbed the lead courtesy of Mangan's free-kick into the bottom right-hand corner. So close: Chris Wood's towering header clattered off the crossbar but Shrewsbury held on for the Cup upset . Despite Mangan's immediate withdrawal, Town should have headed into the interval with a two-goal cushion, only for an unmarked Demetriou to scuff a seemingly simple shot after being teed up by Collins and substitute Scott Vernon. After the break City undoubtedly dominated possession, with Pearson replacing two of his young guard in Cain and Watson with experience in Jeff Schlupp and David Nugent on the hour. Shrewsbury, though, should have sealed the tie in the 75th minute, only for the left-hand post to twice spare the blushes of the Foxes. First Hamer was beaten all ends up by a 25-yard rocket from Clark, before Vernon on the follow up sidefooted against the same piece of woodwork from 10 yards. Town, though, had the sticks to thank themselves just three minutes later, with Nugent cursing his luck after firing against the right-hand upright. It was as close as City came in the dying stages to forcing extra time, leaving Pearson and Leicester to contemplate an embarrassing night and the Shrews a top-flight scalp to savour. Elation: Shrewsbury manager Micky Mellon (right) celebrates a top-flight scalp over Leicester City .
Andy Mangan put the League Two side ahead on 38 minutes from a free-kick . The Premier League side made eight changes and handed out four debuts . Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson handed a debut to his son James . The Foxes next face Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday .

India's general election, the largest democratic exercise in history, begins Monday. Voters will elect 543 members to the lower house of parliament, which will then select the country's next prime minister. Here are 11 things you need to know about the world's biggest election: . 1. Its massive scale. More than 814 million voters are eligible to cast ballots over the next month to elect the lower house of parliament, or Lok Sabha, up from 713 million voters in 2009. The Indian voting pool is larger than the total populations of the United States and Western Europe combined. Given the infrastructure in India, an election of this scale can't be done in a day. Voting will take place in nine blocks over the next five weeks, to allow election authorities to tackle the daunting logistics of operating 930,000 polling stations. The vote counting will be carried out and concluded on May 16. 2. It's the economy, stupid. India's flagging economic performance is the election's central issue. After registering Chinese-style growth rates of 8% to 10% in the 2000s, India's economy slowed sharply in 2012. GDP growth now remains below 5%, coupled with persistently high inflation. Indian politicians and academics remain divided over whether the country should focus its energy on first reigniting growth or on alleviating poverty. Even after a decade of rapid growth, India is still home to one in three of the world's poorest people. Unlike other countries, India's poor tend to vote in higher numbers than the rich. 3. The BJP and the "Modi wave." India's main opposition party, the strongly nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, is positioned to win the most seats in the lower house of parliament, though it is not likely to win the outright majority necessary to form a government without coalition partners. The BJP's prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi, has gathered momentum by positioning himself as an advocate for economic development and good governance. Many expect Modi's business-friendly campaign to lead his party to its biggest victory ever. 4. Modi's charisma and controversy. Modi has a strong record as chief minister of the state of Gujarat and a "strong man" reputation that many see as a welcome contrast to current Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. But Modi has also been criticized for his authoritarian bent and ties to right-wing Hindu organizations. Although an investigation set up by India's Supreme Court cleared him of wrongdoing in 2012, some voters remain suspicious of Modi's role in the 2002 Gujarat riots, in which 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed. The U.S. State Department denied Modi a visa in 2005 because of his alleged culpability, but it changed tack in March, saying it would welcome Modi to the United States if he wins the election. Infographic: India's vote by the numbers . 5. The crisis of confidence in the Congress party. Anemic growth, persistent inflation and frequent corruption scandals have tried the public's patience with the Indian National Congress, the country's oldest party and the core of the ruling United Progressive Alliance over the past decade. Rahul Gandhi, the heir to the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and the party's choice for prime minister, has been portrayed as a reluctant leader, and some believe the Congress will be reduced to its lowest number of seats in history. For its part, the Congress criticizes the BJP's policies as exclusionary and emphasizes its social welfare programs, aimed at helping the poor. 6. Nepotism is here to stay. The competition between Gandhi and Modi has become something of a public referendum on India's entrenched political elite. Rahul Gandhi, who is the son and grandson of previous prime ministers, is depicted by critics as cosseted and out-of-touch, while Modi's campaign emphasizes his humble origins working for his father's tea stall as a child. But despite Modi's popular appeal, research by Patrick French indicates nepotism remains alive and well in Indian politics. Nearly 30% of current members of parliament are from political families; for parliamentary members younger than 40, the figure rises to two-thirds. 7. Criminality among the Indian political class is endemic. An astonishing 30% of the current parliament faces criminal charges. Judging by the new crop of candidates, it isn't going to be much better in the new parliament. According to research published last week, almost a fifth of the candidates face criminal charges. By contrast, none of the sitting members of the U.S. Congress is facing criminal charges; in 2013, only two members -- or less than half a percent -- were convicted of a crime. Put another way -- and this may come as something of a surprise to those many American readers who hold the U.S. Congress in low regard -- Indian parliamentarians are on average 60 times more likely to be charged with a crime than their U.S. counterparts. Corruption and criminality may prove hard to shake in Indian politics, since the rising cost of campaigns means they are dominated by the wealthy. The Centre for Media Studies estimates that Indian politicians may spend around $5 billion campaigning, triple the sum for the last national poll in 2009. The figure is second only to the $7 billion spent in the 2012 U.S. presidential race, the world's most expensive election. 8. The role of young voters and social media. First-time voters are expected to make up roughly 10% of those who will go to the polls this election. India's population is very young: More than 65%, or nearly 800 million people, are younger than 35, according to the latest census. This youth bulge is lending weight to candidates who prioritize economic development, as well as increasing the importance of social media in campaigns. Young voters grew up after reforms to liberalize the Indian economy began in 1991, and thus have high expectations for leaders to reignite India's growth. In large part because of the youth contingent, spending on social media advertising during the election may reach $83 million. 9. The rise of the Aam Aadmi Party. An offshoot of the anti-corruption protests in 2011-2012, the AAP galvanized support with its surprise showing in last year's local elections for the Delhi Assembly.. The AAP won 28 of the legislature's 70 seats and its leader, activist-turned-politician Arvind Kejriwal, was appointed as Delhi's chief minister. But while the AAP has energized young voters and the middle class, it hasn't yet shown it can transition from a protest movement to a governing force. After failing to deliver on key election promises, Kejriwal quit his post in Delhi after only 49 days in office. The AAP is expected to take votes from more established parties in the election and could be instrumental in forming a governing coalition. 10. Women are raising their voices. Long expected to vote in line with the male members of their families, Indian women are becoming an electoral force in their own right. Women account for 48.5% of the electorate, but in some recent polls, they have voted in higher numbers than men. Inflation and safety are likely to be among their most pressing concerns as women control most household budgets and violence against women is an emergent political issue. The gang rape and subsequent death of a 23-year-old woman in Delhi in December 2012 and numerous other cases have sparked widespread protests and precipitated a reckoning of the position and treatment of Indian women. 11. The key role of regional parties. No party has won an outright majority in India since 1989. This year's results are likely to be the same, meaning India's regional parties will likely be instrumental in helping the BJP or Congress form a government. Regional parties control five of India's biggest states -- Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Odisha, which together account for more than 200 Lok Sabha seats -- and their wide variety of agendas and proclivities make determining India's future policy direction difficult. Whether elected officials can deliver the decisive governance that India needs will depend in large part on the character and strength of the governing coalition.
World's largest election has begun in India; lower house and next prime minister are at stake . India's slowing economy is the key issue, authors say; 1 in 3 of world's poorest are in India . BJP candidate Narendra Modi is considered to be the favorite for prime minister, they say . Authors: Young voters and women may play a bigger role in this election than in the past .

This year's results are likely to be the same, meaning India's regional parties will likely be instrumental in helping the BJP or Congress form a government. Regional parties control five of India's biggest states -- Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Odisha, which together account for more than 200 Lok Sabha seats -- and their wide variety of agendas and proclivities make determining India's future policy direction difficult. Whether elected officials can deliver the decisive governance that India needs will depend in large part on the character and strength of the governing coalition.

ROCKVILLE, Maryland (CNN) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday announced it is blocking the import from China of five species of seafood until their importers can prove they are not contaminated. About 10 percent of catfish eaten in the U.S. comes from China, according to the National Fisheries Institute. "FDA is initiating an import alert against several species of imported Chinese farmed seafood because of numerous cases of contamination with drugs and unsafe food additives," said Dr. David Acheson, the agency's assistant commissioner for food protection, in a conference call with reporters. The species cited are catfish, eel, shrimp, basa and dace, he said. Basa is similar to catfish; dace is similar to carp. The medications cited include the antimicrobials nitrofuran, malachite green, gentian violet and fluoroquinolones. Nitrofuran, malachite green, and gentian violet have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. Use of fluoroquinolones in food-producing animals can result in antibiotic resistance. None of them is approved for use in farmed seafood in the United States and some of them have been shown to cause cancer when fed to laboratory animals for "prolonged periods of time," Acheson said. Alerts have been issued in the past, but Thursday's announcement is the largest. The food will not be allowed into the United States until the importer can prove it is free from harmful contaminants, Acheson said. He said the agency decided to broaden its previous alerts for products from individual companies to a countrywide alert after tests showed that 15 percent of those species of seafood produced by 18 companies in China contained traces of one or more of the contaminants. "FDA is taking this action to protect the public health of the American people," he said. Watch more on the FDA's import alert on five kinds of fish from China. » . The products "could cause serious health problems if consumed over a long period of time," he said. Still, Acheson added, the low levels of contaminants means that there is "no imminent threat" to the public health. China is the world's largest producer of farmed fish, accounting for 70 percent of the total produced, he said. It is the third-largest exporter of farmed fish to the United States. The action is an import alert, which means that these products from Chinese processors "will be detained and refused entry into the United States until the importer can demonstrate that the product is safe and in compliance with applicable regulations," said Margaret O' K. Glavin, FDA's associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. Last year, the FDA slapped a countrywide alert on all Chinese eel after tests showed residues of an antimicrobial agent, she said. Since then, and "despite extensive communications between FDA and appropriate Chinese authorities to correct the problem, we have continued to find residues of certain veterinary drugs or food additives that are not permitted for use in the United States," she added. Glavin said the FDA inspects 5 percent of seafood from China. The first alert on Chinese seafood occurred before 2001, she said. "We're not asking for this product to be withdrawn from the market or for people to take this out of their freezers and throw it away," Acheson said. "This is a long-term health concern; it is not an acute health concern." China is not the sole offender, Glavin said. Import alerts have been ordered for firms in the Philippines, Mexico "and several others," though this is the first countrywide import alert, she said. More than 80 percent of shrimp eaten in the United States is imported, including 7 percent from China, according to the National Fisheries Institute. About 10 percent of catfish eaten in the United States comes from China, the seafood industry advocacy group said. Last year, the United States imported 590,299 metric tons of shrimp from abroad; 68,150 metric tons of which came from China, according to the Department of Commerce. The United States imported $1.2 billion of fish from China in 2004, according to H. M. Johson & Associates, a seafood industry research group. E-mail to a friend .

By . Lucy Crossley for MailOnline . Outspoken: British hate cleric Anjem Choudary has described the Islamic State as the sort of society he would 'love to live in' with his family . British hate cleric Anjem Choudary has described the Islamic State as the sort of society he would 'love to live in' with his family, while insisting that he does not know terrorist beheader 'Jihadi John'. The radical activist said he admired the makeshift state set up by militants in Syria and Iraq, believed to be home to several million people. However, the 47-year-old said that while he views his British passport as nothing more than a travel pass, he would not move to Syria as he was born in Britain, and that if he were to try he would be arrested by British police. 'From what I understand from people living there, they have security, schools are now being set up where their children are taught about Islam, and they have the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter,' he told The Observer newspaper. 'They don't see in the public arena things like alcohol, drugs, gambling, these kinds of vices. They've been completely wiped out. I think in many respects it's the kind of society I'd love to live in with my family. Many people I know think the same. That doesn't mean that we're going to train and come back and carry out operations here.' More than 500 young British Muslims are thought to have left the UK to fight for jihadi groups in Iraq and Syria over the last three years. A 2013 report by campaign group Hope Not Hate labelled groups linked to Choudary as the 'single biggest gateway to terrorism in recent British history', and claimed he was the link between groups who encourage the safe passage of British and European Muslims into Syria where they join Al Qaeda-linked forces. It also suggested that he should be considered a 'serious player' in the promotion and recruitment of young Muslims to terrorist cells. According to the study, organisations affiliated with Choudary have encouraged in the region of 80 young British Muslims to join the fighting in Syria and may also have had a hand in the recruitment of 300 more on the continent. Previously, the father-of-four from Leytonstone in East London has made statements about how he would like to see the Prime Minister David Cameron and the American President Barack Obama killed.

The man, who speaks with a London accent, was seen holding a knife in both of the shocking videos, his face hidden with a scarf. 'I'd recognise his voice if it was someone I knew,' he said.

The former lawyer added:'If you look at the death of James Foley, you only have to listen to the person who is executing him to know that the blame is the Americans' because of their own foreign policy. The fact is that decades of torture, cruelty and mass murder will have repercussions.' He also said he had no information about the capture of British aid worker David Haines, 44, who is being held hostage by extremists, and has been earmarked as the next victim, following the deaths of Mr Foley and Mr Sotloff. A former leading member of the banned extremist organisation Al-Muhajiroun and an ex-spokesman for Islam4UK, Anjem Choudary is known for his outspoken criticism of the UK's wars with Iraq and praise for those responsible for the 9/11 and July 7 attacks. He referred to the September 11 terrorists as 'magnificent martyrs', and refused to condem those behind the London bombings in July 2005.

Police concluded that 'no substantive offences' had been committed during the protest. Choudary, who believes Sharia law should be implemented in the UK, is also credited with helping to convert Lee Rigby's killer Michael Adebolajo to Islam. In an interview with Radio 4 in December last year, he repeatedly refused to condemn the killing, insisting David Cameron and British foreign policy were to blame for the soldier’s death. He added that he was ‘very proud’ of Adebolajo as ‘a practising Muslim and a family man’, but ‘differed’ with him about the interpretation of Islam which he used to justify the murder. He has also attacked the charity Help for Heroes, which helps care for injured British soldiers, saying they cannot be heroes because they 'shoot children in Afghanistan', and in the past has planned to disrupt the minute's silence on Remembrance Sunday.

By . Stewart MacleanCreated 3:27 PM on 15th August 2011 . A Warthog might not be every housewife's first choice of pet - but Erika Tempel's beloved Org is firmly part of the family. The two-year-old wild pig has the run of her home, tucks into dinners of dog food and sleeps every night under a blanket on her sofa. The lucky animal is treated to his cosy existence after Erika adopted and hand-raised him when he was orphaned as a baby. Hogs and kisses: Tempel with her house-trained pet warthog Org at their home in South Africa . Erika, 50, who lives in South Africa, said: 'Some people think I'm crazy having a pet warthog, but Org is really loveable and an absolute darling to have around the house. 'We got him as a baby when one of the neighbours brought him in after his mother was killed. 'He was so tiny and vulnerable, and I nursed him by hand until he was old enough to be by himself. 'He lived in our front room, and when he was big enough I used to take him on long walks outside so he could get used to his natural surroundings. Pucker up: Erika gives her pet a goodnight kiss . Who's a boar? Erica's hog takes up most of the sofa . 'I always imagined he would go back and live in the wild again, but he obviously liked it too much with us.' Org is now firmly settled at the rural home Erika shares with her husband Hendrik, also 50. The warthog weighed just a few pounds when they adopted him in November 2008 but has since grown to around 12 stone. A helping ham: Org is bottle fed as an orphaned youngster . He now munches his way through at . least two kilograms of Pedigree dog food each evening, served up for him . in the kitchen from a dog bowl. And . on top of that he devours a pile of daily treats including dried . sweetcorn kernels, ginger biscuits, marshmallows and his favourite . Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Life imitating art: A warthog named Pumbaa featured in Disney's The Lion King . By . day tourist managers Erika and Hendrik let Org roam freely outside in . the private Fahad game reserve which they run in South Africa's northern . Limpopo province. But the loyal animal returns to their home each evening at dusk for his dinner and to relax in front of the television. Erika, a mother of three, said: 'He . has the best of both worlds because he goes out and spends the day with . the other warthogs but almost always comes home when it gets dark. 'We feed him and cuddle him, sometimes we clean him, and then he goes to sleep on the sofa. 'He's . getting really big these days and his tusks are sharp so we have had to . recover the sofas with a tough canvas lining or they would get ripped . apart. 'We also have to keep an eye on him . because if we leave him unattended he can open the door to the kitchen . and empty all the cupboards looking for food. 'Sometime we think he thinks he's a dog because he gets really affectionate and likes to be loved. 'I often share a sofa with him when we watch TV. We'll snuggle under a blanket as he likes to be close to me. Favourite spot: Erika's Jack Russell doesn't stand a chance as the warthog settles down for the night . 'Sometimes he'll take the whole sofa for himself and Hendrik and I will sit on the floor.' Warthogs are related to pigs and common across many parts of Africa. The tough animals usually live in burrows and survive by eating grasses or digging for roots. They were made famous by Pumbaa, the friendly warthog in Disney's 1994 cartoon movie The Lion King. But in the wild the animals are far from cuddly and are often known to attack a potential predator when cornered. Males can use their protruding tusks . to fight with others for dominance, and warthogs are reportedly able to . inflict deadly wounds even to lions. Org has also become a firm friend with . the couple's other pets, which include a pair of parrots and a lively . Jack Russell named Cody. Erika, who also runs a jewellery design business, said: "You might not imagine that a warthog and a Jack Russell would get on but they are the best of friends. 'Cody often perches himself on Org's back when he's sleeping, and although they sometimes fight over the food it's always good natured.' She added: 'We have never forced him to stay here but he keeps coming back.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.By . Stewart MacleanCreated 3:27 PM on 15th August 2011 . A Warthog might not be every housewife's first choice of pet - but Erika Tempel's beloved Org is firmly part of the family. The two-year-old wild pig has the run of her home, tucks into dinners of dog food and sleeps every night under a blanket on her sofa. The lucky animal is treated to his cosy existence after Erika adopted and hand-raised him when he was orphaned as a baby. Hogs and kisses: Tempel with her house-trained pet warthog Org at their home in South Africa . Erika, 50, who lives in South Africa, said: 'Some people think I'm crazy having a pet warthog, but Org is really loveable and an absolute darling to have around the house. 'We got him as a baby when one of the neighbours brought him in after his mother was killed. 'He was so tiny and vulnerable, and I nursed him by hand until he was old enough to be by himself. 'He lived in our front room, and when he was big enough I used to take him on long walks outside so he could get used to his natural surroundings. Pucker up: Erika gives her pet a goodnight kiss . Who's a boar? Erica's hog takes up most of the sofa . 'I always imagined he would go back and live in the wild again, but he obviously liked it too much with us.' Org is now firmly settled at the rural home Erika shares with her husband Hendrik, also 50. The warthog weighed just a few pounds when they adopted him in November 2008 but has since grown to around 12 stone. A helping ham: Org is bottle fed as an orphaned youngster . He now munches his way through at . least two kilograms of Pedigree dog food each evening, served up for him . in the kitchen from a dog bowl. And . on top of that he devours a pile of daily treats including dried . sweetcorn kernels, ginger biscuits, marshmallows and his favourite . Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Life imitating art: A warthog named Pumbaa featured in Disney's The Lion King . By . day tourist managers Erika and Hendrik let Org roam freely outside in . the private Fahad game reserve which they run in South Africa's northern . Limpopo province. But the loyal animal returns to their home each evening at dusk for his dinner and to relax in front of the television. Erika, a mother of three, said: 'He . has the best of both worlds because he goes out and spends the day with . the other warthogs but almost always comes home when it gets dark. 'We feed him and cuddle him, sometimes we clean him, and then he goes to sleep on the sofa. 'He's . getting really big these days and his tusks are sharp so we have had to . recover the sofas with a tough canvas lining or they would get ripped . apart. 'We also have to keep an eye on him . because if we leave him unattended he can open the door to the kitchen . and empty all the cupboards looking for food. 'Sometime we think he thinks he's a dog because he gets really affectionate and likes to be loved. 'I often share a sofa with him when we watch TV. We'll snuggle under a blanket as he likes to be close to me. Favourite spot: Erika's Jack Russell doesn't stand a chance as the warthog settles down for the night . 'Sometimes he'll take the whole sofa for himself and Hendrik and I will sit on the floor.' Warthogs are related to pigs and common across many parts of Africa. The tough animals usually live in burrows and survive by eating grasses or digging for roots. They were made famous by Pumbaa, the friendly warthog in Disney's 1994 cartoon movie The Lion King. But in the wild the animals are far from cuddly and are often known to attack a potential predator when cornered. Males can use their protruding tusks . to fight with others for dominance, and warthogs are reportedly able to . inflict deadly wounds even to lions. Org has also become a firm friend with . the couple's other pets, which include a pair of parrots and a lively . Jack Russell named Cody. Erika, who also runs a jewellery design business, said: "You might not imagine that a warthog and a Jack Russell would get on but they are the best of friends. 'Cody often perches himself on Org's back when he's sleeping, and although they sometimes fight over the food it's always good natured.' She added: 'We have never forced him to stay here but he keeps coming back. 'It is great that he has time outside and now that he has reached maturity, he has found himself a girlfriend and this year will probably become a father. 'But we're delighted that he likes to come home every day, and people are always amazed when they see him sitting on the sofa. 'We have three daughters, and they all get on brilliantly with Org too. He really feels like part of the family now. 'I know some people might look at my Org and think he's ugly, but he's actually really loving and affectionate. 'They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I think he's gorgeous.'

San Diego, California (CNN) -- Jaime Escalante was ahead of his time. And today, more than 30 years after the Bolivian-born math teacher put East Los Angeles' Garfield High School on the map by convening 14 students in his very first AP calculus class, the rest of the educational establishment is still trying to catch up. Escalante -- who was immortalized in the 1988 film "Stand and Deliver" -- died this week at his son's home in Roseville, California, after a bout with cancer. It was way back in 1978 when Escalante began teaching calculus to Mexican-American kids from the barrio. That's more than two decades before President George W. Bush challenged the nation's public schools to acknowledge and overcome the "soft bigotry of low expectations," and Escalante was already fighting that battle. He knew all about low expectations -- most of them coming from jealous colleagues and visionless administrators. More important, Escalante knew the recipe for how to overcome those low expectations and teach students to succeed. It starts, he would say, with "ganas" -- the desire of students to learn, coupled with the desire of teachers to teach. Mix in two parts hard work, a cup of sacrifice, and a dash of "anything is possible." Oh, because you'll inevitability meet up with cynics and critics who try to derail you, to make themselves feel better about their own failings and to sustain their prejudices about who can learn and who can't, it doesn't hurt to put in a spoonful of attitude of the sort embodied in Evita Peron's quip: "It doesn't matter what the morons say." All across the United States, students and teachers come to the classroom with tons of built-in excuses of why they can't or won't do what they know they need to do. And so, it's no wonder so little gets done. Just as it's no wonder that those who try to break through that culture and actually teach students who have been written off often meet with resistance. One of the things I remember from the years I spent teaching the children of Mexican farm workers in central California was that sometimes, it seems, students and teachers are competing to see which group is the most victimized. Escalante had no interest in that game. Personally, I think it was because he was an immigrant. Here you have someone who arrived in the United States with very little money, who wasn't able to speak the language, but went on to mop floors and work as a short-order cook by day. He learned English and earned math degrees, and a teaching credential by night, on his way to working for an electronics company. Then he followed his passion into teaching. You know people like that, or you did. Think Grandpa. Think Grandma. Take out "Bolivia" and fill in "Italy" or "Ireland." Those people don't want to hear your problems and why you think you can't do something. It's embarrassing. You whine about how hard you have it and how the odds are against you, and they just arrived from a place that makes your troubles look like a day at the beach. That's how it was for the man who was eulogized this week by Jay Matthews, education reporter for the Washington Post, as "the most famous and influential American public school teacher of his generation." Escalante had no interest in hearing why poor Mexican-American kids from a barrio high school couldn't learn calculus, ace a national test and go on to attend prestigious universities. He was too busy making it happen. I met Escalante once in the late 1980's at a black-tie affair in Washington. But, the more memorable encounter took place a couple of years earlier, while I was in college. I had placed a long distance call to Garfield High School and left a message. A student group on campus wanted him to speak. To my surprise, after seeing a message that the school receptionist had scribbled down as being from simply "Ruben at Harvard," he called me back. To my amusement, I soon realized the reason he did was because he thought I was another Ruben at Harvard -- a former student. For a lot of public school teachers in America, especially those who teach socio-economically disadvantaged kids, that kind of call might be unusual. Not Escalante. His former students from Garfield were sprinkled all over the Ivy League -- not just at Harvard, but also at Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell and other universities. I'd sometimes meet them at student conferences, and there was always something special about them and how they carried themselves. There was that badge of honor, that additional bit of confidence that came from being one of an elite group of high achievers who demolished the low expectations of others. These were Jaime's kids. That's an impressive legacy -- and, in the case of an extraordinary educator who still teaches us what's possible in our public schools when you ditch the excuses, and have the ganas to make it happen, a well-deserved one. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Ruben Navarrette Jr.
America's schools still have a lot to learn from Jaime Escalante, who died this week . Ruben Navarrette says the celebrated teacher didn't expect low achievement from poor, minority students . He says that by aiming high, Escalante got extraordinary results from students .

A Bulgarian man who was won the National Lottery - twice - has an illegal cabin in the back garden of his home that he rents out for as much as £10,000 a year, it has been reported. George Traykov, 46, a former member of the Bulgarian skydiving team, beat odds of one-in-438 million when he picked up a £160,873 EuroMillions prize in March to add to the £1million sum he won in the Millionaire Raffle in September 2011. Now a home he owns in Harrow, north-west London, has been investigated by council staff after the cabin - which has a kitchen, toilet and bedroom - was discovered. Investigation: The cabin in the garden of Mr Traykov's north-west London home . George Traykov, who beat odds of 1 in 438 million to secure a rare second National Lottery win . The scourge of these often rickety, cramped and unhygienic buildings looks set to grow as the country struggles to accommodate the huge numbers of immigrants arriving here – both legally and illegally. It was detected after officials used an aircraft equipped with a thermal camera to fly over the borough to pinpoint the illegal structures. 'The beds-in-sheds phenomenon means there . is a hidden community springing up in the back gardens of our cities - . in our borough alone the thermal pictures we receive suggest there are . four times as many as we first suspected,' said Susan Hall, the . Conservative leader of Harrow council. 'The pressures of migration in London, fuelled by recent waves of new arrivals from eastern Europe, are creating new stresses on local authorities that we just haven't had to contend with before. 'What was once thought, even just 18 months ago, to be a problem for the centre of big cities is now rippling out to the suburbs.' She added: 'These are people who use council services - like bin collection - but for whom we receive no extra funding. It was detected after officials used an aircraft equipped with a thermal camera to fly over the borough to pinpoint the illegal structures . 'In many cases the people in beds in sheds are at the bottom of a pyramid of exploitation. But we get complaints from their neighbours that we cannot ignore, and it is not fair on them that these houses should turn into cash cows for opportunist landlords.' Earlier this year, Ealing Council estimated that the inhabitants of beds in sheds has pushed the area’s population up by 60,000 to nearly 400,000. Mr Traykov, who is believed to be travelling through Europe, was contacted by the Sunday Telegraph but was not available to comment. Speaking at the time of his win, the property developer, who has lived in the UK for 20 years,  said: 'I've always worked very hard and never spent more than I have so money has never been a major problem for me.' The house itself has been divided into four separate rooms, one of which is rented by Polish special educational needs teacher Agnieszka Klojzy, who lives in it with her two children, aged five and two. She said: 'George is a good landlord. He looks after us quite well. It was scary [when the council came]. I felt like a criminal.'

A neighbour, who did not wish to be identified, said a lot of people go to and from the property and claimed a fence was installed to hide the structure in the garden.

(CNN) -- After the September 11 attacks, a New York firefighter took a series of photographs capturing the destruction. Eleven years later, Superstorm Sandy damaged the photographs as they sat in the basement of his Queens home. Partially destroyed, the photographs encapsulate two traumatic events burned in the minds of New Yorkers. The firefighter, Michael Redpath, now has his photos on display in an installation called "Residual Images" in Manhattan. Redpath, a 15-year veteran of the city fire department, was off duty September 11, 2001, and was called in that afternoon. One of hundreds of emergency responders, he was stunned by what he found upon arriving at ground zero. "It was like a nuclear winter. It was very quiet. Everything was covered with fine white dust. It looked like a black-and-white photograph," Redpath said. Redpath had brought his camera, and recognizing the magnitude of the attacks, he began snapping shots of the wreckage. "I was just trying to convey the scale, which is almost impossible to do," he said. Having studied photography, some images jumped out at Redpath over the months he spent at ground zero. He was most struck by the efforts of police officers, firemen, iron workers and crane operators, he said. Redpath developed some of the photos and stored the negatives in a box in the basement of his home in the Rockaways section of Queens. Redpath initially considered showing the photographs for the 10th anniversary of 9/11. But a decade later, he just wasn't ready. Last year, when Superstorm Sandy slammed into the East Coast, Redpath's home, including the basement housing his 9/11 pictures, suffered extensive flood damage. Redpath likened it to losing family photos. A family member later scanned the negatives and gave them to Redpath as a gift. They were altered but not ruined. "It was almost like a whole other layer, destruction on destruction. The new images were haunting in their own respect," Redpath said . The New York Times' Niko Koppel curated the show with the OSMOS Address, an exhibition space. The show is on display at Manhattan's First Street Green through Tuesday, the anniversary of Sandy hitting New York, described the photographs as "arresting." The outdoor exhibit is situated between two buildings and features more than 100 of Redpath's images projected onto two large screens in 15-minute increments. One image shows piles of rubble and collapsed iron, and Sandy's murky floodwater added what appear to be superimposed black clouds. Another photo of a firefighter standing, back to the camera, before the World Trade Center rubble at ground zero has scratches and water damage that give the picture a smoky, three-dimensional feel. On Sunday, passersby stopped to take a look, some briefly, while others sat for longer spells, mesmerized as they were reminded of the tragedies. "It is very powerful. The juxtaposition of the two gets really interesting," said a neighborhood woman. Said another man who walked cautiously toward the projections, "It brings up bad memories."

By . Nick Pisa . Last updated at 11:40 AM on 8th September 2011 . Amanda Knox is likely to be freed, according to one of the lawyers opposing her murder appeal. A prosecutor in the Amanda Knox appeal case has said 'an ill wind is blowing' as she predicted the American would be acquitted of the murder of Meredith Kercher. Manuela Comodi, who is one of two prosecutors involved in the appeal of Knox against her conviction for the murder of student Meredith, 21, said she was convinced the American would be freed. Comodi made her comments just hours before the appeal hearing resumed today, with prosecutors and defence lawyers again contesting crucial DNA evidence. Hopeful: Amanda Knox, seen here at her appeal hearing in Perugia, is another step closer to freedom after a judge's ruling today . Knox, 24, is serving 26 years for the murder of Meredith, 21, who was found with her throat slashed and semi naked in the bedroom of the house she shared with her and two other women in November 2007. Her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 27, was also convicted of murdering and sexually assaulting Meredith and he is serving 25 years with both claiming they had nothing to do with the killing. Miss Comodi said: 'There is an ill wind blowing in this case. 'The judge and his assistant are clearly against us. I can see both Knox and Sollecito being freed which will be a shame as they are both involved.' Knox is led into court in Perugia by a police officer as her appeal hearing comes towards its conclusion . The prosecutor spoke as the judge in the case denied her a further re-examination of forensic evidence. An earlier review had cast doubt on DNA findings used by the prosecution. Key to the case is a 30cm kitchen knife found at Sollecito's apartment, on which DNA from Knox was on the handle and that of Meredith was discovered on the blade. However the independent report by Carla Vecchiotti and Stefano Conte of Rome's La Sapeinza University has questioned the reliability of the findings by forensic scientists. Although they do not doubt Knox's DNA is on the handle they have questioned the findings related to Meredith, insisting that the level is so low it should not have been admitted as evidence in the first trial. The experts have also questioned the . reliability of DNA evidence found on Meredith's bloodied bra clasp which . was found at the scene and then 'missed' for six weeks.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.By . Nick Pisa . Last updated at 11:40 AM on 8th September 2011 . Amanda Knox is likely to be freed, according to one of the lawyers opposing her murder appeal. A prosecutor in the Amanda Knox appeal case has said 'an ill wind is blowing' as she predicted the American would be acquitted of the murder of Meredith Kercher. Manuela Comodi, who is one of two prosecutors involved in the appeal of Knox against her conviction for the murder of student Meredith, 21, said she was convinced the American would be freed. Comodi made her comments just hours before the appeal hearing resumed today, with prosecutors and defence lawyers again contesting crucial DNA evidence. Hopeful: Amanda Knox, seen here at her appeal hearing in Perugia, is another step closer to freedom after a judge's ruling today . Knox, 24, is serving 26 years for the murder of Meredith, 21, who was found with her throat slashed and semi naked in the bedroom of the house she shared with her and two other women in November 2007. Her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 27, was also convicted of murdering and sexually assaulting Meredith and he is serving 25 years with both claiming they had nothing to do with the killing. Miss Comodi said: 'There is an ill wind blowing in this case. 'The judge and his assistant are clearly against us. I can see both Knox and Sollecito being freed which will be a shame as they are both involved.' Knox is led into court in Perugia by a police officer as her appeal hearing comes towards its conclusion . The prosecutor spoke as the judge in the case denied her a further re-examination of forensic evidence. An earlier review had cast doubt on DNA findings used by the prosecution. Key to the case is a 30cm kitchen knife found at Sollecito's apartment, on which DNA from Knox was on the handle and that of Meredith was discovered on the blade. However the independent report by Carla Vecchiotti and Stefano Conte of Rome's La Sapeinza University has questioned the reliability of the findings by forensic scientists. Although they do not doubt Knox's DNA is on the handle they have questioned the findings related to Meredith, insisting that the level is so low it should not have been admitted as evidence in the first trial. The experts have also questioned the . reliability of DNA evidence found on Meredith's bloodied bra clasp which . was found at the scene and then 'missed' for six weeks. The . original trial heard there were traces of Sollecito on the clasp after . it was examined by forensic scientists but the experts say the fact it . was left for six weeks at the scene leaves it open to contamination.

(CNN) -- Even after she was cleared of murder, even after returning home to a scenic haven in Seattle, Amanda Knox is crippled with fear. The case that kept her behind bars for four years and hurled her into global notoriety isn't over. At any point, the United States could extradite her back to Italy to face a retrial since her acquittal was overturned in March. During one of her very first interviews as a free woman, Knox tells CNN's Chris Cuomo that her attempt at resuming a normal life has been punctuated by debilitating panic attacks. Knox: 'I'm afraid to go back' to Italy . Admittedly nervous during the interview, she describes one such episode from the past weekend: "I sit in my hotel room and cry so loud until the security calls the room, because the person next door has heard me crying," Knox says, her voice cracking. As she tries to articulate her next thought, Knox suppresses more tears. "It's really hard for me to talk to people about it. It's like as soon as I allow myself to cry, I can't stop." The sweeping interview reveals fascinating new details of a story that has been widely reported -- but not in her words. She slams accusations from authorities that she's an apathetic sexual deviant whose behavior led to her roommate's gruesome death. Was she convicted on a story based partly on a gender stereotype? Or is that just an excuse? The subtleties in her interview may uncover some answers. Read an excerpt from Knox's book . Going back to Italy . Knox says she's afraid to return to Italy to face a new trial almost six years after her roommate's death. But she's considering it. "I don't know yet. It's a really complicated question," she tells Cuomo. I mean, I'm afraid to go back there. I don't want to go back into prison." "I've been told that in Italy, people think it's arrogant of me to sit here in the United States and have a book come out and defend myself," says Knox, who reportedly was paid a $3.8 million advance for her memoir, "Waiting to be Heard." "First of all, I find that incredibly unfair, because I have the right to defend myself. And no one can ask me to just shut up because it's convenient. But at the same time, I want to prove to them that I care about what's going on." Knox has been criticized for what some perceived as apathy over the death of her study-abroad roommate, Meredith Kercher, in 2007. Kercher, a 21-year-old British exchange student, was found dead, seminaked with her throat slashed, in the Perugia villa she rented with Knox. But Knox says she's been unfairly characterized as cold and aloof after Kercher's death. "I find it incredible that despite an absolute lack of evidence that connects me to this murder, I am still being judged based upon unrealistic and unreasonable expectations about how a young woman would react to a horrible situation. No one knows how they would react to a horrible situation until it happens to them," she says. "I definitely reacted to what happened to her. And I react to this day. I'm emotional to this day about what happened. But I'm also the type of person who, when there is pressure on me and expectation on me to react, to feel in front of people, I freeze. I would much rather suppress my emotion than have it be determined as insincere and affected." Knox and her ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were convicted of killing Kercher. Both were acquitted in 2011, but their acquittals were overturned in March. "As I was going through all of this, when I cried, it was bad. When I didn't cry, it was bad. When I smiled, it was bad. When I didn't smile, it was bad," Knox says. " ... I have been paralyzed by this kind of scrutiny. And I feel like it's unfair." Will Knox be extradited to Italy? Experts disagree on likelihood . Claims of sexual deviancy . At times, the depictions of Knox in court were as scandalous as plot lines in a made-for-TV movie. "They were calling me things like violent and whore and deviant. And it's all untrue," Knox tells Cuomo. Prosecutors theorized she was involved in some sort of erotic game gone horribly wrong that resulted in the death of her roommate. Knox says such claims were "a bombardment of falsehood and fantasy." "No one has ever claimed that I was ever taking part in deviant sexual activity. None of my roommates, none of my friends, none of the people who knew me there. This is simply coming out of the prosecution," she says. "I was not strapping on leather and bearing a whip. I have never done that. I have never taken part in an orgy. Ever." She says there has been recent discussion "about how our society latches onto the idea of a violent, sexual woman, how sexuality becomes deviancy, becomes violent" and how "the connection between those things is so easily made in comparison to men." "I was completely recharacterized as a human being based upon the fact that I was sexually active. And that turned into sexual deviancy. And it was unfair," Knox says. "And I was having to go into the courtroom when the jury and judge were already convinced of a certain idea of what kind of person I was. And there was nothing I could do to respond to it." Opinion: What Knox can and can't tell us . Implicating an innocent man . Even though she was acquitted of the murder charge, Knox doesn't have a spotless record. After she and Sollecito were detained for questioning in the killing, she allegedly confessed to being at her home when Kercher was killed and implicated Patrick Lumumba, the owner of a bar where she worked. Lumumba was detained but was released after two weeks when his alibi was corroborated: He had spent the night of the murder talking to a customer in his pub in Perugia, police said. Lumumba later sued Knox for libel, winning 40,000 euros ($54,000) in damages. Knox says her book gives readers insight into what she was thinking in the days and months after Kercher's death. "I'm aware of the fact that people don't seem to get where I'm coming from when I named Patrick Lumumba, for instance. And I can't excuse it. But I can try to explain it. And that's the only -- the only thing I can do," Knox says. Analysis: Knox case is complicated, confusing mess . Her life today . Despite the panic attacks, Knox is trying to get her life back to normal. She's back with a boyfriend whom she knew before she was in Italy. She's going to school and is making up lost time with her family. But she still hasn't reached out to Meredith Kercher's family. Why? "I know that they think that I'm guilty," Knox tells Cuomo. "... I wish that I had gotten ahold of them much earlier, at the very beginning." During the interview, Knox's hands appeared to show signs of injuries. She says she was taking self-defense training. "I've received death threats since I've been home. And I don't ever want to be caught in a situation that Meredith was caught in where someone is able to overpower me because I just don't know what to do," Knox says. "There are not normal people who are fixated on me. And I don't know what they're capable of. I don't." Her desire, Knox says, is that within five years she will finally feel at ease. "I hope that I will be definitively found innocent," she says. "I hope that I can reconcile myself with Patrick and Meredith's family." She worries about a lifetime of answering questions from doubters. "I really want this to be behind me. I need this. I don't know how long I can hold it together. I don't know how long I can defend myself." Timeline: Kercher murder case . CNN's Richard Allen Greene contributed to this report.

Reverend Al Sharpton is being paid thousands of dollars to not cry 'racism' at large corporations that are in the spotlight, it has been claimed. For more than 10 years, firms have reportedly handed over enormous donations and consulting fees to the activist preacher's National Action Network (NAN) In return for their cash, they have received Sharpton's supposed influence in the black community - or more often, his silence on the matter, it is reported. 'Al Sharpton has enriched himself and NAN for years by threatening companies with bad publicity if they didn’t come to terms with him,' said Ken Boehm, chairman of the National Legal & Policy Center, a watchdog group in Virginia that has produced a book on the Harlem minister. 'Making money': Reverend Al Sharpton is being paid thousands of dollars to not cry 'racism' at corporations who are in the spotlight, it has been claimed. He is reportedly doing so via his National Action Network (NAN) Recently, Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal met with Sharpton after leaked emails in the Sony hack apparently showed her mocking President Obama in a series of racially-charged exchanges. These exchanges included apparent remarks that the President only likes movies with black actors and subject matter, such as Django Unchained and 12 Years A Slave. The leak, which also revealed that British actor Idris Elba could be set to play the next James Bond, reportedly left Pascal and her colleagues 'shaking in their boots' and 'afraid of the Rev'. Pascal subsequently met with Sharpton, the New York Post reported. Although no donations or other payments to NAN have been announced, the pair agreed to form a 'working relationship'. This relationship aims to focus on racial bias in Hollywood, it is said. Experts told the newspaper that the lack of a public assertions of support for Pascal on Sharpton's behalf is exemplary of his typical 'shakedown' move - making people pay for his support or silence. 'Put simply, Sharpton specializes in shakedowns,' said Mr Boehmn. Keeping a low profile: Recently, Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal (pictured) met with Sharpton after leaked emails in the Sony hack apparently showed her mocking President Obama in a series of 'racist' exchanges . Another source, who apparently worked alongside Sharpton, added: 'Once Sharpton’s on board, he plays the race card all the way through. He just keeps asking for more and more money.' However, Sharpton - who has been vocal in the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases - has denied that his meeting with Pascal was money-oriented in any way. In 2008, NAN received a $500,000 donation that was made to New York-based nonprofit Education Reform Now by Plainfield Asset Management, a Connecticut hedge fund. Although the money was apparently to support NAN's attempts to bring 'educational equality', it was donated at the same time the firm was trying to achieve a lucrative gambling deal in the Big Apple. Harold Levy, managing director at Plainfield at the time, has denied the contribution was made to win over Sharpton or aid Capital Play's efforts in the Aqueduct Racetrack deal. 'Al Sharpton has enriched himself and NAN for years by threatening companies with bad publicity if they didn’t come to terms with him,' said Ken Boehm (left). Right, Harold Levy managing director at Plainfield at the time, has denied the firm's 2008 contribution was made to win over Sharpton or secure a lucrative gambling deal . Meanwhile, in 2003, Sharpton accused American Honda of not hiring enough African-American managers, saying: 'We cannot be silent while African-Americans spend hard-earned dollars with a company that does not hire, promote or do business with us in a statistically significant manner.' Shortly after his criticism, the firm's chiefs met with Sharpton and decided to sponsor NAN. After this, the racially-charged accusations stopped. During his 60th birthday party in October, Sharpton raised a staggering $1million for NAN, with donations from unions and an array of corporations, including AT&T and McDonald's.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.Reverend Al Sharpton is being paid thousands of dollars to not cry 'racism' at large corporations that are in the spotlight, it has been claimed. For more than 10 years, firms have reportedly handed over enormous donations and consulting fees to the activist preacher's National Action Network (NAN) In return for their cash, they have received Sharpton's supposed influence in the black community - or more often, his silence on the matter, it is reported. 'Al Sharpton has enriched himself and NAN for years by threatening companies with bad publicity if they didn’t come to terms with him,' said Ken Boehm, chairman of the National Legal & Policy Center, a watchdog group in Virginia that has produced a book on the Harlem minister. 'Making money': Reverend Al Sharpton is being paid thousands of dollars to not cry 'racism' at corporations who are in the spotlight, it has been claimed. He is reportedly doing so via his National Action Network (NAN) Recently, Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal met with Sharpton after leaked emails in the Sony hack apparently showed her mocking President Obama in a series of racially-charged exchanges. These exchanges included apparent remarks that the President only likes movies with black actors and subject matter, such as Django Unchained and 12 Years A Slave. The leak, which also revealed that British actor Idris Elba could be set to play the next James Bond, reportedly left Pascal and her colleagues 'shaking in their boots' and 'afraid of the Rev'. Pascal subsequently met with Sharpton, the New York Post reported. Although no donations or other payments to NAN have been announced, the pair agreed to form a 'working relationship'. This relationship aims to focus on racial bias in Hollywood, it is said. Experts told the newspaper that the lack of a public assertions of support for Pascal on Sharpton's behalf is exemplary of his typical 'shakedown' move - making people pay for his support or silence. 'Put simply, Sharpton specializes in shakedowns,' said Mr Boehmn. Keeping a low profile: Recently, Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal (pictured) met with Sharpton after leaked emails in the Sony hack apparently showed her mocking President Obama in a series of 'racist' exchanges . Another source, who apparently worked alongside Sharpton, added: 'Once Sharpton’s on board, he plays the race card all the way through. He just keeps asking for more and more money.' However, Sharpton - who has been vocal in the Eric Garner and Michael Brown cases - has denied that his meeting with Pascal was money-oriented in any way. In 2008, NAN received a $500,000 donation that was made to New York-based nonprofit Education Reform Now by Plainfield Asset Management, a Connecticut hedge fund. Although the money was apparently to support NAN's attempts to bring 'educational equality', it was donated at the same time the firm was trying to achieve a lucrative gambling deal in the Big Apple. Harold Levy, managing director at Plainfield at the time, has denied the contribution was made to win over Sharpton or aid Capital Play's efforts in the Aqueduct Racetrack deal. 'Al Sharpton has enriched himself and NAN for years by threatening companies with bad publicity if they didn’t come to terms with him,' said Ken Boehm (left). Right, Harold Levy managing director at Plainfield at the time, has denied the firm's 2008 contribution was made to win over Sharpton or secure a lucrative gambling deal . Meanwhile, in 2003, Sharpton accused American Honda of not hiring enough African-American managers, saying: 'We cannot be silent while African-Americans spend hard-earned dollars with a company that does not hire, promote or do business with us in a statistically significant manner.' Shortly after his criticism, the firm's chiefs met with Sharpton and decided to sponsor NAN. After this, the racially-charged accusations stopped. During his 60th birthday party in October, Sharpton raised a staggering $1million for NAN, with donations from unions and an array of corporations, including AT&T and McDonald's. He has previously received money from the lakes of Macy's, General Motors and Pfizer.

(CNN) -- Controversy in figure skating? What took so long? And Canada and the United States play to a familiar result on the hockey rink, while a Canadian faced long odds in the ski cross final four. Cue the conspiracists . Figure skating, like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder. And to some the decision of the judges at Thursday's women's free program was downright ugly. As was the subsequent reaction on social media. It didn't help that one of the judges had in the past been suspended for a year for trying to fix an event at the Winter Olympics 16 years ago (apparently they don't have a Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis in figure skating). Or that another is married to the head of the Russian figure skating federation, which is cheering for the first Russian woman to win a gold medal in individual competition after she was awarded the highest score of her life. It was too much for defending Olympic champion Yuna Kim to overcome. Not everyone thinks the judging was crooked. Even though gold medalist Adelina Sotnikova had one notable mistake, she did have the more technical program. And that's where she won; her technical score was 75.54; Kim's was 69.69. Chris Chase of USA Today wrote: "It's debatable, but not a robbery. Sotnikova skated well enough to win gold. She had a carefully constructed program with seven triples, five of which were in a combo. Kim had six and three, respectively. Thus, Sotnikova was going in with a higher total and made more margin for error, which she took advantage of with a minor hop after one exchange." Sotnikova said she knew she had skated well. "When I had performed all the elements I knew I would be on the podium but not which medal. When I saw I had won on the technical elements I didn't believe my eyes," she said. There might be more of an argument that Sotnikova's short program score of 74.64 was a real gift. We'd like more of that . Here's an idea for the women's hockey tournament. Just make it Canada vs. the United States in a best four out of seven games format. Especially if the games will be as well-played and exciting and heart-pounding and heartbreaking and magnificent and frustrating and enthralling and agonizing and stirring and mind-blowing as the one played Thursday. Depending on whose side you were on, you'll always remember this one as either a great display of Canadian spirit or the one the United States let get away. And really, the 3-2 Canada victory in overtime was both. Canada didn't score for the first 56:34 of the gold medal game then found net three times in 11-plus minutes. Of the women's four Olympic gold medals in the sport, this is the one that will be most cherished.
Canada comeback caps another gold medal run in women's ice hockey . Three days remain but you can't blame Ukrainian athletes for wanting to leave now . French medal count lifted by ski cross sweep . Canada and curling were a perfect combination thanks to Jennifer Jones .

Ruth Palmer,25,  had her identity stolen by a con artist . A married 25-year-old has spoken of her horror after her life was stolen by a mystery woman in a bid to attract unsuspecting men. Ruth Palmer found that nearly 1,000 of her images and real details about her life had been used to set up a host of Twitter and Instagram accounts. The 25-year-old discovered the 'catfish' -  an Internet scammer who fabricates online identities and entire social circles to trick people into romantic relationships - had been using her details for three years. Using the fake name Leah Palmer she duped two men into believing they were in a relationship with the brunette. The imposter even set up fake accounts for her mother and friends to make the social media profiles appear more realistic. When Mrs Palmer complained to the social networks, they shut down the accounts. But just days later, more false profiles  were set up. Mrs Palmer, who is married and from Brighton, East Sussex, now fears the perpetrator has become 'obsessed' with her life. 'It is horrible and I just can't understand what must be going through this person's head to do this,' she said. 'It has been horrific for me, my family, friends and husband. 'I am now fearful of whoever this is as they are seemingly not able to stop this and nothing seems to deter them. Scroll down for video . 'I feel violated and completely invaded and would very much like this to be broadcast to as many people as possible as this could be happening for many, many others. 'Circa 900 images and videos of my own personal experiences had been taken from my own social media accounts, some from five years back.' 'Now this maybe sounds fairly average given the social media society we live in today, however the imposter had gone even deeper than what I had originally thought when I looked into it further. The mystery scammer, who goes by the name Leah Palmer,  has stolen pictures and personal details from Ms Palmer . Ms Palmer from Brighton, East Sussex, now fears that the scammer is 'obsessed' with her personal life . 'I found the person held a two-and-a-half-year online relationship with someone whom they spoke to every night on the phone, text messaged and exchanged emails with. 'It was a massive web of deceit.' When Mrs Palmer found the false profiles, she immediately contacted the victims, which includes a golfer and a DJ, to warn them of the scam. She also called a mobile number that the imposter had been giving out to her victims. But she claims a woman who answered simply hung up the phone and the number is now out of use. Mrs Palmer added: 'The victims were horrified when I told them the person they'd been speaking to wasn't who they said they were. The social media accounts reappear days after they are shut down by sites . 'I have spoken to around five or six different men who have been involved with her but unfortunately since they are all in the public eye, they want to remain anonymous. 'I also found the imposter had been making online friendships with other girls pretending to be interested in their lives. 'Disturbingly they also created a fake social media account of my friend using my friend's real name and started having conversations between both the imposter and the 'friend' account. 'My mum, who is a psychologist, says the catfish must be really troubled in the head.' But it is the catfish's knowledge of her personal details that Miss Palmer finds most troubling. She said: 'They told people that 'Leah' lived in Brighton and had moved to Dubai recently and that she had two brothers and a cat called Misty, whilst using all the genuine lives of my social group of friends as her own. 'All of which are true accounts of my own life. ''Leah' also said my genuine friends were her friends and gave accounts of where she had been with them and spoke about events she had been to with them.' Mrs Palmer complained to Sussex Police but her case was referred to Action Fraud - the UK's national reporting centre for fraud and internet crime.. The service is run by the City of London Police, who work alongside the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau. But Action Fraud said there has been no criminality. Merryn Hockaday, of Action Fraud, said: 'Ruth Palmer's case has been 'no crimed' by the Crime Registrar and the report will now be classed as an information report. Ms Palmer said that the con woman has so far duped a golfer and a DJ using her images and personal information . 'Information reports are not investigated by the police, but they are kept on record and used for intelligence purposes. 'This means the case will be kept on record to help inform intelligence. 'It may be, that in the future, a similar report comes in and criminal activity has taken place, the reports could be linked somehow, by suspect, location etc and it could help to inform the intelligence for that investigation.' Mrs Palmer added: 'I just want people to be aware of what can happen online. You never know what's going on - and what a profound affect something like this can have on your life. 'It's crazy. I genuinely don't feel like it has actually happened but sadly it really has and the situation keeps unravelling where more and more people have been duped by this imposter for either online friendships or online relationships. 'It's scary the length to which the imposter has gone.'

(CNN) -- The Justice Department has decided it won't referee charges -- and countercharges -- of spying between the CIA and the Senate Intelligence Committee. The CIA's general counsel and inspector general each made criminal referrals to the Justice Department seeking an investigation of whether Senate staffers obtained unauthorized access to classified documents related to the agency's now-defunct post-9/11 interrogation program. Soon after, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein went to the Senate floor to accuse the agency of spying on computers used by committee staffers at a CIA facility to investigate the Bush-era interrogation program. Now, the Justice Department has notified the CIA and the Senate committee that it can't find enough evidence to warrant a full-blown probe. "The department carefully reviewed the matters referred to us and did not find sufficient evidence to warrant a criminal investigation," Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said. The CIA declined comment. Feinstein's office didn't immediately comment. Critical report on CIA . The unusual dispute has raised tensions between the agency and lawmakers charged with overseeing its activities. The committee has produced a 6,300-page report on the program, which critics say violated prohibitions on torture and exceeded legal guidance from the Justice Department. The White House and the CIA are reviewing an executive summary of the report to remove classified information before it can be released. The documents that prompted the dispute relate to an internal review by former CIA Director Leon Panetta and, according to the agency, were intended to help summarize material it was providing to the committee for its investigation of the program. The documents were plainly labeled as for internal use and were not supposed to be reviewed by the committee, according to the CIA. Feinstein said Senate staffers found the documents in the course of their work that were put in the computer system either on purpose by a whistleblower or perhaps in error, and that they corroborated some of the committee's findings that the agency now says it disagrees with. She said committee staff routinely sees such documents and didn't violate any classified restrictions. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday he believes the Senate has handled the matter appropriately. "I think what the CIA did to my senators is wrong. I'm going to drop it at that," Reid said. Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado said, "I still believe the CIA's entry into our computers was unacceptable perhaps even unconstitutional and we shouldn't let this drop until we have some sort of fundamental resolution of what happened. This wasn't the first time this occurred and the division of powers in our nation's constitution is at some risk here." Udall said it's time for the White House and the CIA to release the portions of the Senate's report under review. Feinstein is usually one of the intelligence community's staunchest allies in Congress. CIA says it acted properly . CIA Director John Brennan has disputed Feinstein's accusations of agency wrongdoing in uncovering Senate staff access to the internal report. Speaking to the Council on Foreign Relations in March, he said, "when the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this tremendous sort of spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong." Dean Boyd, a CIA spokesman, said in an op-ed published in USA Today in March that the agency acted properly after it discovered Senate staffers may have accessed and retained sensitive documents stored in a CIA computer network. "These documents were privileged, deliberative, pre-decisional executive branch material that implicated separation of powers concerns," Boyd wrote. "Because we were concerned that there may have been a breach or vulnerability in the CIA local area network on which CIA stored these documents, CIA information technology specialists were asked to conduct a limited review to determine whether these files were located on the side of the CIA network the committee was authorized to use. That review appeared to confirm the committee's unauthorized access to the documents." FBI looks into dispute between CIA, Senate .

By . Richard Shears . and Abu Taher . Anne Marie Drozdz, 49, was found dead in her rented villa on the holiday island of Bali on Thursday . A British woman has been discovered murdered in a Bali villa. Detectives said 49-year-old Anne-Marie Drozdz was found on the floor of a bedroom in a village near the hillside town of Ubud, a popular tourist destination . There were signs of a forced entry and a graze on the woman's neck and bruises on her mouth suggested she had been strangled. Reports from the Indonesian island suggest a construction worker has been arrested in connection with the death. She is believed to have travelled around the world teaching at international schools and, according to her LinkedIn profile, last worked in Hanoi, Vietnam. Local police chief Senior Commander Komang Arsana said a housekeeper found Miss Drozdz in the villa in Juniungan village. Detectives, he said, had taken away a piece of fabric which might have been used to strangle her. 'We can't say with any certainty that she was murdered, but it is definitely looking that way,' said Cmdr Komang. 'An initial external examination points to murder but we will know for certain after an autopsy has been carried out.' Miss Drozdz's body was taken to the Sanglah General Hospital in the Balinese capital, Denpasar, for a post mortem examination. Coroner Ida Bagus Putu Alit told the Jakarta Globe that the conclusions were that the Briton had been murdered. 'The forensics team has found a graze on the victim's neck from stranulation and there were bruises on her mouth.' Miss Drozdz, a drama graduate from Bristol University, had been in the rented villa since early May, the Jakarta Post reported, pointing out that her body had been found by an American, William Hening, the husband of the villa's owner. He had called there to deliver fresh towels to Ms Drozdz when he saw that the door appeared to have been forced open. He found Miss Drozdz lying on the floor with a black cloth covering her face, said the Post. Miss Drodz's body was discovered in a rented villa near the Junjungan village of Ubud, a popular tourist destination . Anne-Marie Drodz had been living alone in the villa since May. There were signs the property had been broken into . As well as what appeared to be strangulation marks on her neck, she was also said to have suffered multiple injuries to her body. Her death has shocked the quiet neighbourhood of upmarket villas, which are surrounded by a large expanse of rice fields. Local residents had just celebrated the religious festival of Galungan on Thursday when the news began to spread of her apparent murder. Ubud is known as Bali's cultural centre and is rarely the scene of serious crime. Detectives said the body of the woman, which was discovered by her cleaner, had strangulation marks . Forensic officers, pictured sweeping the flat, are said to have found a black cloth which may have been used to strangle her . Ubud, the nearest village to the villa, is known as Bali's cultural centre and is rarely the scene of serious crime . It was where Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall went through a ceremonial marriage in 1990 - and it was also where the 'call girl in the Commons', Pamela Bordes, went into hiding when she fled Britain in the late 1980s. A local construction worker was last night reported to have been arrested over the killing. Bali police chief Benny Mokalu speaks to journalists in the aftermath of the death, which has shocked the local community .

Detectives, he said, had taken away a piece of fabric which might have been used to strangle her. 'We can't say with any certainty that she was murdered, but it is definitely looking that way,' said Cmdr Komang. 'An initial external examination points to murder but we will know for certain after an autopsy has been carried out.' Miss Drozdz's body was taken to the Sanglah General Hospital in the Balinese capital, Denpasar, for a post mortem examination. Coroner Ida Bagus Putu Alit told the Jakarta Globe that the conclusions were that the Briton had been murdered. 'The forensics team has found a graze on the victim's neck from stranulation and there were bruises on her mouth.' Miss Drozdz, a drama graduate from Bristol University, had been in the rented villa since early May, the Jakarta Post reported, pointing out that her body had been found by an American, William Hening, the husband of the villa's owner. He had called there to deliver fresh towels to Ms Drozdz when he saw that the door appeared to have been forced open. He found Miss Drozdz lying on the floor with a black cloth covering her face, said the Post. Miss Drodz's body was discovered in a rented villa near the Junjungan village of Ubud, a popular tourist destination . Anne-Marie Drodz had been living alone in the villa since May. There were signs the property had been broken into . As well as what appeared to be strangulation marks on her neck, she was also said to have suffered multiple injuries to her body. Her death has shocked the quiet neighbourhood of upmarket villas, which are surrounded by a large expanse of rice fields. Local residents had just celebrated the religious festival of Galungan on Thursday when the news began to spread of her apparent murder. Ubud is known as Bali's cultural centre and is rarely the scene of serious crime. Detectives said the body of the woman, which was discovered by her cleaner, had strangulation marks . Forensic officers, pictured sweeping the flat, are said to have found a black cloth which may have been used to strangle her . Ubud, the nearest village to the villa, is known as Bali's cultural centre and is rarely the scene of serious crime . It was where Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall went through a ceremonial marriage in 1990 - and it was also where the 'call girl in the Commons', Pamela Bordes, went into hiding when she fled Britain in the late 1980s. A local construction worker was last night reported to have been arrested over the killing. Bali police chief Benny Mokalu speaks to journalists in the aftermath of the death, which has shocked the local community .

HURUMA, Kenya (CNN) -- We found Barack Obama's half-brother living in a Nairobi slum. George Obama says he is sure his half-brother will win the U.S. presidency in November. George Obama, whose birth certificate shows that he is Barack Obama's half-brother, lives in a small house in Huruma that he shares with his mother's extended family, far away from the presidential campaign circus. In his memoir, "Dreams for my Father," the Democratic presidential candidate describes meeting George as a "painful affair." Barack Obama's trip to Kenya meant meeting family he had never known. In the book, which is popular in Nairobi and can be found in almost any supermarket, Obama looks back at his personal story and his struggles to reconcile with a Kenyan father who left him and his mother when he was just a child. Barack Obama Sr. died in a car accident when George was just 6 months old. And like his half-brother, George hardly knew his father. George was his father's last child and had not been aware of his famous half-brother. "I think I wanted to learn about my father the same way he did," George Obama told me about why he read the book. "He came here searching for his roots, and I was also trying to find my roots." Watch George Obama talk about meeting his half-brother for the first time . Unlike his grandmother in Kogela, in Western Kenya, George Obama had received little attention from the media. But reports surfaced in the past few days, springing from an Italian Vanity Fair article saying George Obama is living in a shack and "earning less than a dollar a day." The reports left him angry. "I was brought up well. I live well even now," he said. "The magazines, they have exaggerated everything. "I think I kind of like it here. There are some challenges, but maybe it is just like where you come from, there are the same challenges," Obama said. Obama, who is in his mid-20s, is learning to become a mechanic and is active in youth groups in Huruma. He said he tries to help the community as much as he can. At least one of his neighbors feels that perhaps the candidate should help the brother. "I would like Obama to visit his brother to see how he is living, to improve his way of life," said Emelda Negei, who runs a small dispensary near Obama's house. But George Obama will have none of it. He draws inspiration from his famous half-brother. He acknowledges that he is biased but said he knows that his half-brother will be the next president. "Because he wants to be [president]," he said. "I think in life, what you want is what you are supposed to get."
Barack Obama and George Obama share a father, the late Barack Obama Sr. George Obama denies media reports that he's living on a dollar a day . "I think I wanted to learn about my father the same way he did," George says .

As he left the Co-op he threatened a customer who also refused to hand his money over, telling Darby to 'just walk away'. The father-of-one was arrested four days later on March 12. Darby, who has previous convictions for theft and assault, pleaded guilty to robbery and attempted robbery.

A combative Barack Obama took aim Thursday night at Congressional Republicans for embracing social-issues talk about economic inequality as they flex their new majority muscles and look ahead to the 2016 presidential election. The president jabbed at the GOP, who he said have curiously begun emphasizing the needs of America's middle class and those in poverty. 'Even though their policies haven't quite caught up, their rhetoric is starting to sound pretty Democratic,' he said. 'I consider imitation the highest form of flattery.' Obama also filleted Mitt Romney, his 2012 election opponent, for focusing on the economics of ordinary Americans just three years after he was castigated for alienating the country's '47 per cent' who rely on government benefits to make ends meet. 'We've got a former presidential candidate on the other side who suddenly is just deeply concerned about poverty,' Obama said, drawing jeers from lawmakers. 'That's great. Let's go. Come on. Let's do something about it.' Scroll down for video . President Barack Obama addressed the House Democratic Caucus retreat on January 29, 2015 in Philadelphia . Romney, an early front-runner in the Republican presidential sweepstakes after losing to Obama in 2012, made a campaign-style Wednesday night at Mississippi State University and focused on how the GOP should attack poverty. 'The rich have done historically well,' he said. 'I'm concerned about the middle class and the poor in this country.' Romney said Washington must 'lift people out of poverty' while it 'restore(s) opportunity, particularly for the middle class. He blamed the growing gap between rich and poor on 'liberal policies' emanating from Obama's Oval Office. And he fired back at the presdient with a tweet a few hours after Obama called him out for his newest messaging. 'Mr. Obama, wonder why my concern about poverty?' he wrote in Twitter's compressed 140 character format. 'The record number of poor in your term, and your record of failure to remedy.' In a sign of the partisan rancor that can bleed over into social media, the spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid snarked about Romney calling him 'Mr. Obama.' 'It's President Obama,' Adam Jentleson tweeted. Most of Obama's 20-minute speech Thursday night rehashed themes from his January 20 State of the Union address, but in one respect he put meat on what had been bare-bones messaging. Reporters were ushered out of the room at the Sheraton Philadelphia Society Hill Hotel before a Q-and-A session began. But he is proposing to add $74 billion in new spending, about a 7 per cent increase, to the government's 2016 budget, splitting the additions between defense and domestic priorities . Obama himself proposed a mechanism known as a budget 'sequester' in 2011: Because Republicans and Democrats failed to agree on an annual budget for 2013, the previous year's budget was 'continued' – but with fixed percentages of the funds locked up and made unavailable. When Republicans called his bluff despite a harrowing impact on the Pentagon, the president sought to shift the blame back to them. But Watergate-era journalist Bob Woodward documented the source of the idea in his book, 'The Price of Politics,' showing that the White House pressed the 'sequester' plan on its own. On Thursday the president irged House Democrats to ignore that sequester entirely, complaining about 'manufactured crises and mindless austerity' in Washington. Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney fired back Thursday night, only to hear the press spokesman for Sen. Harry Reid pounce over calling the president 'Mr. Obama' in the 140-character Twitter format . REPEAT: Obama gave a State of the Union address on January 20 that contained all the major themes Obama discussed with Democratas on Thursday, essentially subjecting them to a repeat performance . He insisted he would find the money to pay for it by pressing for new taxes that will hit America's top income earners. That plan will undoubtedly hit roadblocks in the form of a Republican Party that now controls both houses of Congress and seems eager to stare Obama down. The president's new budget for 2016 will hit desks Monday morning on Capitol Hill. The GOP is expected to declare it 'dead on arrival' by Monday afternoon. 'I don't think there's going to be a lot of support for going back on the commitments we made to reduce spending,' South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune told the Agence France-Presse newswire on Thursday. 'It's going to be very hard to feature a scenario where Republicans on Capitol Hill are going to go along with some of the president's recommendations to increase spending.' 'Republicans are concerned about the impact of the sequester on the military budget,' he acknowledged. A divided government presents new problems for Obama – has last two years will be his first without Democrats in control of at least half of Congress – and he accepted some of the blame on Thursday for a mid-term election that turned into his party's worst nightmare. 'Obviously we were all disappointed with the outcome of the last election, and there are a lot of reasons for it,' the president said. 'And I'm happy to take on some of the blame.'
Obama lashed out at the GOP during a brief speech to Democratic members of Congress assembled for a retreat in Philadelphia . He argued in favor of ignoring budget caps put in place through a so-called 'sequester' that he himself proposed as a way to curb spending excesses . Also called the resulting government culture of more careful budgeting 'manufactured crises and mindless austerity' Obama's busget proposal for 2016 will hit Congress on Monday, but the 2015 Homeland Security budget is still a hotly contested subkect . Especially slammed Mitt Romney for embracing rhetoric about income inequality as the presidential season kicks off .

Virgin Galactic, the space tourism company founded by British billionaire Richard Branson, has barred Chinese nationals from applying for spots on its first commercial flights. Cashed-up People's Republic of China passport holders have reportedly been willing to pay the $260,000 fare for a spot on the inaugural Virgin Galactic space flight scheduled for later this year, but have been turned down in order to comply with United States anti-espionage laws, the South China Morning Post reports. Rocket engines on the Virgin Galactic craft -- named SpaceShip Two and WhiteKnight Two -- are reportedly considered military grade technology under Cold War U.S. arms trafficking laws. The legislation was designed to prevent foreign powers, such as China, from getting hold of U.S. military tech secrets. "Both SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnight Two are U.S. technology and are therefore subject to U.S. regulations," said Winnie Chan, a spokesperson for a Virgin Galactic accredited partner in Asia. Chinese nationals with multiple passports or U.S. residency might be considered for a place on the space trips, Virgin Galactic said. Short -- but sweet? Virgin Galactic has already accrued almost $70 million in deposits for spots on its space flights, according to the SCMP, the first of which is due to take place later this year. A ticket gets you a 110-kilometer trip into the atmosphere and six minutes of weightlessness before returning to Earth. The cost of the tickets has been criticized as excessive for such relatively brief excursions. Virgin Galactic will be headquartered and launching its flights from Spaceport America, a planned epicenter of space tourism near the New Mexico town of Truth or Consequences. "Come visit us!" says the Spaceport America website. No mention of nationality. CNN first learned of the story on Twitter. 20 most annoying things people do on planes .

Once upon a time in Manchester, the United left back Patrice Evra made his debut in a derby game across town at City. Hauled off at half-time, the combative little Frenchman reflected colourfully that his first taste of English football had been akin to spending the afternoon ‘in a washing machine’. Years later and not much has changed and another Frenchman has arrived in town to bear witness to the rough and tumble. Eliaquim Mangala is 6ft 2in and looks like he could carry a washing machine on his back. Nevertheless the Manchester City central defender admitted this week that he is only just finding his feet in the Barclays Premier League following an introduction to life in England that has led to some pretty miserable days. Eliaquim Mangala has endured a difficult start to his life at Manchester City, but is ready to step up . Mangala scored an own goal and gave away a penalty in the 4-2 win over Hull City earlier this season . ‘I have spent a lot of time at home watching and studying games I have played in,’ Mangala told Sportsmail. ‘I do that at home on my own. I try to use that information for the next game. ‘It’s all about improving your game. That is what important. ‘Watching 90 minutes is too much so, if we play on Saturday, I will probably watch the first 45 minutes on Sunday then go and do something else. Life has to go on. Then I may sit down for the second half on a Monday. It’s all about attention to detail and doing everything you can to improve. If you want to improve then you have to work hard, there is no substitute for it. It has helped.’ Mangala arrived in England at the end of the transfer window for £32million, the final piece in the City jigsaw. A September debut at home in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea passed without much trouble. A new star had seemingly arrived at the Etihad. The French defender, who has impressed in the Champions League, holds off Roma's Francesco Totti . Up against the likes of Gervinho in Europe, Mangala has shown flashes of why City paid £32million for him . Mangala has found it tough to adapt to life in the Premier League, with the pace and physicality of the game . GARETH BALE (Tottenham) Now one of the best players in the world, things were not always so rosy for Bale. After moving to the Premier League, the one-time left back initially struggled. It took him two years, three managers and 25 games to experience a league win. FABRICIO COLOCCINI (Newcastle) The Argentine arrived with a big reputation and a price tag to match. But his first season was shaky, typified by his display in a 5-1 defeat by Liverpool. He is now among Newcastle’s best players, and the effect his absence had on their league form in the 2012-13 season shows how valuable he is. PATRICE EVRA (Man Utd) The left back made a miserable debut at Man City in 2006. He was substituted at half time with United 2-0 down. Evra admitted he was struggling to adapt to the English game but became a cornerstone in the United defence. KOLO TOURE (Arsenal) There was never any doubting the Ivorian’s talent, but his runaway-train style of play made him a liability in his first season. Twelve years later Kolo has two league titles and three FA Cups to his name. NEMANJA VIDIC (Man Utd) Signed in January 2006, Vidic was in and out of the United team in his early months at the club as he adapted to England. But the Serb would form a formidable defensive partnership with Rio Ferdinand. Next up, though, was a trip to Hull City and suddenly somebody turned on the spin cycle. An own goal, a penalty conceded and a yellow card in one afternoon. The apprenticeship had begun. ‘I spoke with Martin (Demichelis) and Vinny (Kompany),’ he said. ‘They warned me about how it’s different but they can tell you, “Oh yeah, you get pressed all the time, it’s going to be physical, it’s going to be hard, they’re going to play the ball behind you, you’re going to have to turn, you’re going to get players who are good with it into feet and who turn and run”. ‘They can go through every situation, but until you have actually experienced it, until you’ve lived all that, you can’t appreciate it. And you can’t react and improve until you have experienced it. ‘You appreciate people giving you advice and trying to help, but a lot of it is seeing it for yourself and dealing with it and improving at it over time through hard work. There is no substitute.’ Since that day on Humberside, Mangala’s learning curve has been steep. It is just one of the reasons he took the unusual step of requesting this interview himself. It was time, he felt, to introduce himself to English football followers and assure those of a sky blue persuasion that he is working hard to adapt. ‘I wanted to speak because I haven’t spoken to the public at all,’ he said. ‘I would like the fans to know a bit more about me as a person. They see me on the field but they don’t know me. ‘I have tried to make the adaptation quick but you have to be patient and hope that other people will be patient with you. There has been (media) criticism but I’m cool with that. If you can’t take that you shouldn’t be a footballer. ‘All over Europe you have ex-players on TV who criticise you. It doesn’t worry me. I am my biggest critic. I know I am moving forwards and adapting.’ Mangala keeps the ball away from Leicester's Jamie Vardy, as he looks to build on his recent run of form . The centre back knows it will take time, and hard work, to adapt to the pressures of the Premier Leagu . As it happens, the day his invitation to meet and talk is passed on he goes on to contribute his finest performance in a City shirt as he and Demichelis guide Manuel Pellegrini’s team to a clean sheet at Roma in the Champions League. There was no Kompany that day and there will be no Kompany at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday lunchtime in the League. The City captain’s hamstring troubles have struck again and Mangala and Demichelis will be centre halves for the foreseeable future. It seems as though better form has arrived just at the right time. Rome may yet transpire to be a pivotal night. ‘I would say that playing against Chelsea back at the start wasn’t particularly a typical English game, it’s the sort of football I’m more used to,’ he reflected. Despite receiving plenty of criticism, Mangala is determined that he can be a success at Manchester City . The defender knows his style of football is more suited to Europe, so he must work on his domestic form . ‘Roma, too, in the Champions League was a different style of football to the Premier League, so that was OK. But I must emphasise I’m still going through a settling-in period so coming up against teams like Hull and Palace this weekend and facing that typical English style, where it’s a long ball, high balls, balls in the air, big physical battles, fighting for every ball, that is the stuff I’m going to take longer to get used to. ‘Maybe that’s harder for me than games against the big teams at the moment. I will improve and I will cope with that, but it’s all about taking it stage by stage. ‘It’s all right having one good game there and then not so good there. What I have got to aim at is consistency and having a good game every game rather than in-and-out performances. I am confident that will happen.’ The day we meet, Mangala is also talking to students from east Manchester’s Connell College. The college lies on 5.5 acres of land donated by City for community use near the new training ground. Mangala answered questions from the students in City’s new media conference room and shortly afterwards the 23-year-old tackled the more thorny issue of interest last summer from arch-rivals United. Mangala's good form has arrived at just the right time, with City skipper Vincent Kompany out of action . Kompany has again been beset by injuries, this time to his hamstring, ruling him out for some time . There were suggestions from Old Trafford that Mangala would rather have joined United, but the former Porto player said: ‘I was aware there had been some contact from United, but the major conversations that had gone on with my agent were with City and it was City that I was attracted to all the way through. I was aware of what a great project and plans the club had. ‘They want to make history and I want to be part of that and did back in the summer. I’m pleased I made the right choice.’ Born in France, Mangala moved to Belgium at the age of five as his mother sought a better life for his disabled brother. His first club was Standard Liege and Mangala was a centre forward until he was 16. Back then his hero was Thierry Henry and, by coincidence, Henry announced his retirement just moments before we met this week. Since his impressive debut in the 1-1 draw against Chelsea, Mangala has been exposed at times . With an extended run in the side likely, it is time for the Frenchman to show he has what it takes . With Pellegrini and City suffering an injury crisis among their forwards, Mangala joked that he was ready to come to the rescue over an intense Christmas period he claimed to be relishing. ‘Yeah absolutely,’ he laughed. 'I’m going to play No 9. ‘We are about to hit the Boxing Day period and I am fascinated by it. In France and other countries we don’t play over this period so I am really looking forward to seeing what it is like. I am excited about it. I want to experience it.’ It is impossible not to admire Mangala’s enthusiasm. It is indicative of a refreshing attitude. City are about to play five games in 15 days, though. Time to open the door to the washing machine.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.Once upon a time in Manchester, the United left back Patrice Evra made his debut in a derby game across town at City. Hauled off at half-time, the combative little Frenchman reflected colourfully that his first taste of English football had been akin to spending the afternoon ‘in a washing machine’. Years later and not much has changed and another Frenchman has arrived in town to bear witness to the rough and tumble. Eliaquim Mangala is 6ft 2in and looks like he could carry a washing machine on his back. Nevertheless the Manchester City central defender admitted this week that he is only just finding his feet in the Barclays Premier League following an introduction to life in England that has led to some pretty miserable days. Eliaquim Mangala has endured a difficult start to his life at Manchester City, but is ready to step up . Mangala scored an own goal and gave away a penalty in the 4-2 win over Hull City earlier this season . ‘I have spent a lot of time at home watching and studying games I have played in,’ Mangala told Sportsmail. ‘I do that at home on my own. I try to use that information for the next game. ‘It’s all about improving your game. That is what important. ‘Watching 90 minutes is too much so, if we play on Saturday, I will probably watch the first 45 minutes on Sunday then go and do something else. Life has to go on. Then I may sit down for the second half on a Monday. It’s all about attention to detail and doing everything you can to improve. If you want to improve then you have to work hard, there is no substitute for it. It has helped.’ Mangala arrived in England at the end of the transfer window for £32million, the final piece in the City jigsaw. A September debut at home in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea passed without much trouble. A new star had seemingly arrived at the Etihad. The French defender, who has impressed in the Champions League, holds off Roma's Francesco Totti . Up against the likes of Gervinho in Europe, Mangala has shown flashes of why City paid £32million for him . Mangala has found it tough to adapt to life in the Premier League, with the pace and physicality of the game . GARETH BALE (Tottenham) Now one of the best players in the world, things were not always so rosy for Bale. After moving to the Premier League, the one-time left back initially struggled. It took him two years, three managers and 25 games to experience a league win. FABRICIO COLOCCINI (Newcastle) The Argentine arrived with a big reputation and a price tag to match. But his first season was shaky, typified by his display in a 5-1 defeat by Liverpool. He is now among Newcastle’s best players, and the effect his absence had on their league form in the 2012-13 season shows how valuable he is. PATRICE EVRA (Man Utd) The left back made a miserable debut at Man City in 2006. He was substituted at half time with United 2-0 down. Evra admitted he was struggling to adapt to the English game but became a cornerstone in the United defence. KOLO TOURE (Arsenal) There was never any doubting the Ivorian’s talent, but his runaway-train style of play made him a liability in his first season. Twelve years later Kolo has two league titles and three FA Cups to his name. NEMANJA VIDIC (Man Utd) Signed in January 2006, Vidic was in and out of the United team in his early months at the club as he adapted to England. But the Serb would form a formidable defensive partnership with Rio Ferdinand. Next up, though, was a trip to Hull City and suddenly somebody turned on the spin cycle. An own goal, a penalty conceded and a yellow card in one afternoon. The apprenticeship had begun. ‘I spoke with Martin (Demichelis) and Vinny (Kompany),’ he said. ‘They warned me about how it’s different but they can tell you, “Oh yeah, you get pressed all the time, it’s going to be physical, it’s going to be hard, they’re going to play the ball behind you, you’re going to have to turn, you’re going to get players who are good with it into feet and who turn and run”. ‘They can go through every situation, but until you have actually experienced it, until you’ve lived all that, you can’t appreciate it.

(CNN) -- Actor Rainn Wilson is dedicated to improving the lives of young people around the world. The star of "The Office" works with the Mona Foundation, which supports educational initiatives for children in developing countries. He is also involved with Planting Peace's program to deworm children in Haiti. Wilson got to know Planting Peace's founder, Aaron Jackson, after Jackson was honored as a CNN Hero in 2007. CNN's Sonya Hamasaki recently sat down with Wilson to talk about CNN Heroes and his humanitarian work. Below are excerpts from that interview. Sonya Hamasaki: What inspired you to get involved with the Mona Foundation? Rainn Wilson: The founder of the Mona Foundation actually knew my dad for years, and the more I learned about it, the more I realized I really found the perfect charity. It sponsors schools and educational initiatives all over the planet. The thing that is really exciting is that it finds grass-roots educational initiatives that are already working, and the Mona Foundation comes in and says: "What do you need? We want to help support you. We'll raise money, and we'll get you whatever you need. ... You need a science lab? You need a water fountain? You need a soccer field? You tell us what you need. We're not going to come in and tell you what we think you should be having next." It's a really cool way of working, and I've gotten to visit some of those schools. It's a beautiful organization. Hamasaki: Why is this cause important to you? Wilson: I think that charity is a tricky thing, because a lot of times, people equate charity with handouts. I don't believe in handouts. I do believe in education. And I do believe that the way to change a society, to uplift people -- not just their spirit, but to uplift their society and economic base -- is through education. That's what Mona Foundation focuses on. It especially focuses on the education of women and girls. And I think that is key. ... With young women and girls, they're going to be ready to teach children; they're going to be ready to go back into their communities and share their knowledge with their children and with their communities. It's vital that women and girls across the world have access to really good education. Hamasaki: How did you get involved with Planting Peace? Wilson: Planting Peace is a charity I got to know via CNN Heroes. I was literally sitting in my trailer at "The Office," and I was looking at the CNN website and it had CNN Heroes. And I saw this story on this guy, Aaron Jackson. I read about him there, and I Googled him and I did some more research, and I realized I stumbled upon a truly extraordinary human being. This is a young kid from Florida who grew up on a golf course. He went traveling in the Third World and he saw poverty, and he decided to devote his life to making the world a better place. Planting Peace works at this in a number of different ways. They support orphanages all over the world, but the other thing that Aaron works on with a network of people is deworming. Parasites really hold a society back. When kids have intestinal worms, they have less energy, they're not able to focus, they're not able to learn. (Jackson) has these pills he gets from the drug companies that are a penny and a half each, and it'll deworm a kid for six months. And he has been working so hard, tirelessly, to deworm the children of Haiti. He's handed out millions of these pills. Hamasaki: What's it like for you to see Planting Peace's efforts in Haiti? Wilson: I've gotten to visit Aaron several times down in Haiti. They have four or five orphanages in Haiti. I also went out when they distributed the deworming medication out in the rural villages and towns, and I got to meet a lot of people in their network. It was very heartwarming, it was very moving. They run an orphanage in Haiti for HIV-positive children; I think it's the only orphanage of its kind in Haiti. They're able to supply the meds that the kids need, they educate them, give them music classes. A lot of them are former street children, and they're turning them into vital members of Haitian society. It's extraordinary seeing that first-hand. Hamasaki: How did your experience with CNN Heroes evolve? Wilson: I think CNN Heroes is a great thing. I've been to the ceremony a couple of times, and I always follow it. It's incredible to see the amount of hard work and humility that these people have, uplifting the people around them. Their stories are always the same: They're a normal person, they're doing a normal job, they're no one special and they see a need. They're like, "Gosh, there's street children here," or "these sex workers are being used," or "these veterans need a home," or "this environment needs cleaning up," whatever it is. And they don't just complain about it. They actually just start to work very simply. And that's what we need. I think we need about 6 or 7 billion CNN Heroes, and we'll transform the world.
Rainn Wilson is involved with two charities: the Mona Foundation and Planting Peace . He believes that education, not handouts, can change society for the better . Wilson on CNN Heroes: They don't complain, they just work on making a difference .

President Barack Obama . said in a TV interview set for broadcast on Sunday that he will . do 'everything I can' to close the U.S. military prison at . Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, after four Afghan detainees held there . were sent home. Obama promised to shut the internationally condemned prison . when he took office nearly six years ago, saying it was damaging . America's image around the world. But he has been unable to do . so, partly because of obstacles posed by the U.S. Congress. President Obama on Sunday said he is going to keep trying to shut down the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, even as he's failed to do so six years after taking office and making the same promise . 'I'm going to be doing everything I can to close it,' Obama . said on CNN's 'State of the Union with Candy Crowley' in an interview taped on Friday. 'It is something that continues to inspire jihadists and . extremists around the world, the fact that these folks are being . held,' he said. 'It is contrary to our values and it is wildly expensive.

By . Sanchez Manning . and Nick Craven . The Government’s controversial High Speed 2 rail link will be dealt a huge blow tomorrow as MPs demand that the top speed for trains on the line should be slashed by 40mph. The proposal is just one of a damaging series of criticisms of the £50 billion HS2 project contained in a leaked parliamentary report seen by The Mail on Sunday. The slower speed would add ten minutes to the predicted journey time from London to Birmingham, making it only 25 minutes quicker than current trains. High Speed (ish): The journey time from London to Birmingham could be just 25 minutes shorter than it is now under plans to cut the speed of HS2 trains from 225mph to 185mph - to curb emissions . Critics already say that the project is a waste of money and the marginal savings on journey times do not justify the enormous cost. The Environmental Audit Select Committee’s findings come just weeks before a crucial Commons vote on legislation that must be passed to give the HS2 scheme the go-ahead. The MPs’ report says: . The MPs’ criticisms came as campaigners from the HS2 Action Alliance issued an expert report claiming HS2’s figures on electricity consumption and carbon footprints are ‘highly biased’. The Alliance says the real carbon impact of Phase 1 from London Euston to Birmingham will be more than double the official estimate and equivalent to the emissions of 1.44 million homes, or 5.4 per cent of households in the UK. Route: The line will run from London's Euston station to Birmingham on a different route to the one now used . The MPs recommend that ‘the legally binding commitment to reduce emissions makes even a small reduction [in maximum train speed] desirable. HS2 Ltd and the Department for Transport should therefore examine the scope for requiring a reduced maximum speed for the trains until electricity generation has been sufficiently decarbonised to make that a marginal issue.’ Dr Richard Wellings at think-tank the Institute of Economic Affairs, said the new revelations showed HS2 does not make sense. He said: ‘Already the time savings are quite small. The problem is if they reduce the speed further then the argument that this project is going to give time savings is further diminished. 'The most obvious thing to do to if they’re worried about carbon emissions is not to build it at all. From an environmental point of view it makes more sense to make better use of existing lines.’ Current journey time  1hr 24mins at 118mph . HS2 original plan   49mins at 225mph . HS2 new proposal   59mins at 185mph . Last night environmental campaigners heaped criticism on the Government for its lack of commitment to protecting wildlife and woodlands likely to be affected by the line as it cuts a swathe through some of England’s most picturesque areas. The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) accused Ministers and HS2 Ltd of putting profits before conservation. Ralph Smyth, from CPRE, said: ‘In a bid to pursue economic growth at any cost as quickly as possible, HS2 Ltd has failed to make any changes that would protect the environment. ‘More measures and more funding will be needed if our cherished landscapes, ancient woodlands and wildlife habitats are to be protected.’ And he predicted that with the select committee report ‘the heat’ will now be on Government to respond with ‘credible promises’. During a month-long inquiry, the Woodland Trust warned MPs that at least 48 ancient woodlands plus protected species such as bats and water rats were under threat. Wildlife: The move threatens species of bat, water rat and several trees, according to the Woodland Trust . Last night the charity dismissed claims by the Government that such environmental destruction could be offset through the planting of trees and vegetation elsewhere. The Select Committee’s report will be considered by MPs when they vote on the HS2 Hybrid Bill at its second reading later this month. This Bill must be passed into law to grant permission to the HS2 scheme, which will eventually see 225mph trains running between London to Leeds and Manchester via Birmingham. But the HS2 Action Alliance questioned how rigorously routes have been surveyed to assess the environmental effects. Spokesman Richard Houghton said: ‘There is absolutely no way proper surveying or research of the route could have possibly been carried out to any credible extent in such a short period. ‘The current Hybrid Bill has been described as a developers’ charter because it is laced with clauses  that will allow them to build  on Green Belt and currently protected countryside.’ An HS2 Ltd spokesperson said: 'The levels of environmental protection set out in the Environmental Statement are higher than for any other project of such a significant scale. This includes a commitment to plant more than two million trees along the route of Phase One. 'The committee has acknowledged that the aim of ‘no net biodiversity loss' is a challenging one. There may be opportunities to achieve a net gain as the project develops and these will be considered fully. 'HS2 Ltd acknowledges the need to complete the outstanding protected species surveys as soon as possible and this work continues. We share the committee's regret than some landowners have refused access for environmental surveys and hope they will now grant this access. 'We will contribute to the Government's response to the committee once the entire detail of the report has been given due consideration.'
Details are in leaked Parliamentary report seen by The Mail on Sunday . It would cut speed from 225mph to 185mph, adding 10 minutes to journey . HS2's environmental plans also 'not full enough and could endanger bats' The maximum speed on the line should be cut from 225mph to 185mph to reduce carbon emissions. Environmental surveys on the impact on ancient woods and wildlife have not been carried out on nearly half the land along the route. The scheme’s calculations for its ‘biodiversity offsetting’ plans are not comprehensive and could endanger rare plants and bat species. HS2 must ringfence a separate budget for environmental protection and monitor measures for 60 years.

A 13,000-year-old bone fragment with an engraving of a mammoth or mastodon has been found in Florida. Scientists believe the etching is the oldest, and only known, example of Ice Age art to depict a proboscidean - or an animal with a trunk - in the Americas. The bone was found in Vero Beach by amateur fossil hunter James Kennedy, who later discovered the engraving while cleaning it. Researchers claim it is evidence that people living in the Americas during the . last Ice Age created artistic images of the animals they hunted. Evidence: Scientists believe this etching is the oldest, and only known, example of Ice Age art to depict an animal with a trunk in the Americas. It on a bone recently found on a Florida beach . The . engraving is at least 13,000 years old - this is the date of the last . appearance of these animals in eastern North America, and more recent pre-Columbian people would not have seen a mammoth or mastodon to draw. Researcher Dennis Stanford, of the Smithsonian Institute, said: 'This is an incredibly exciting discovery. 'There are hundreds of depictions of proboscideans on cave walls and carved into bones in Europe, but none from America - until now.' The engraving is three-inches long from the top of the head to the tip of the tail, and 1.75inches tall from the top of the head to the bottom of the right foreleg. The fossil bone is a fragment from a long bone of a large mammal - most likely either a mammoth or mastodon, or less likely a giant sloth. A precise identification was not possible because of the bone's fragmented condition and lack of diagnostic features. Lead researcher Barbara Purdy, of the University of Florida, said: 'The results of this investigation are an excellent example of the value of interdisciplinary research and cooperation among scientists. 'There was considerable scepticism expressed about the authenticity of the incising on the bone until it was examined exhaustively by archaeologists, paleontologists, forensic anthropologists, materials science engineers and artists.' The bone was found in Vero Beach by amateur fossil hunter James Kennedy, who later discovered the engraving while cleaning it . One of the main goals for the scientists was to investigate the timing of the engraving - was it ancient or was it recently engraved to mimic an example of prehistoric art? It was originally found near a location, known as the Old Vero site, where human bones were discovered side-by-side with the bones of extinct Ice Age animals in an excavation from 1913 to 1916. The team examined the elemental composition of the engraved bone and others from the Old Vero site. They also used optical and electron microscopy, which showed no discontinuity in colouration between the carved grooves and the surrounding material. This indicated that both surfaces aged simultaneously and that the edges of the carving were worn and showed no signs of being carved recently or that the grooves were made with metal tools. The team's research also further validates the findings of geologist Elias Howard Sellards at the Old Vero Site in the early twentieth century. His claims that people were in North America and hunted animals at Vero Beach during the last Ice Age have been disputed over the past 95 years. A cast of the carved fossil bone is now part of an exhibit of Florida Mammoth and Mastodons at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville. The team's research is published in the Journal of Archaeological Science.

LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- The man whose investigation of President Clinton provided reams of tabloid fodder is now working to help crack down on photographers working for the very publications his efforts once filled. Photographers surround singer Britney Spears' car in Los Angeles, California, in October. Kenneth Starr -- the independent counsel whose open-ended investigation of a Clinton land deal veered into an intimately detailed report on the president's affair with intern Monica Lewinsky -- is helping California lawmakers craft laws to crack down on celebrity-hunting packs of paparazzi. Malibu Mayor Pamela Conley Ulich contacted Starr, now a law school dean at Pepperdine University in Malibu. Local governments in Los Angeles and West Hollywood are also part of the effort to curb what they call a dangerous and expensive problem. "Just imagine you're a motorist driving down the street and Britney Spears parks next to you; all of a sudden you're swarmed by these people," Los Angeles city Councilman Dennis Zine said. "They've got cameras; they're jumping on the hood of my car. "You don't know if you're getting carjacked. You don't know what's happening." The idea of a "safe zone" around celebrities has been kicked around by L.A.-area lawmakers for years. The push became more intense in the wake of multiple mob scenes around pop star Spears last year, including a virtual siege of her Studio City, California, home and similar scenes during her trips to hospitals. Starr has been in contact with the officials but is "not ready to publicly comment" on any plan he may have, according to a Pepperdine spokesperson. Lawmakers have set no timetable for when they'd like to have laws drafted. Police Chief William J. Bratton has argued that there's no need for new laws to deal with the problem. But Zine and others argue that police resources are stretched thin by the current state of things, citing $25,000 shelled out last year for a police escort for Spears. To some, Starr -- the man vilified by liberals for a lengthy and costly Clinton investigation that turned up Clinton's personal foibles but no major wrongdoing in the Whitewater land deals -- seems an odd partner for politicians in the notoriously left-leaning Los Angeles area. "The irony is that he was so criticized, so vilified by Hollywood liberals 10 years ago during the Monica Lewinsky impeachment saga," said David Mark, a senior editor at Politico. "Now he's kind of aligned himself with a lot of Malibu residents who probably disagree with him politically." But Zine, who has been a prime backer of laws curbing the "Pap Packs," said Starr's expertise will be valuable as lawmakers try to strike a balance between public safety and First Amendment freedom of the press concerns. "I have a lot of respect for Ken Starr," Zine said. "We don't want to violate any rules. We don't want to violate the Constitution. "We believe that the Constitution needs to be upheld [but] at the same time, we need to protect our celebrities." CNN's Carol Costello contributed to this report.

Star Trek actor William Shatner has joined growing calls for Nasa to investigate a bizarre 'jelly doughnut' shaped rock on the Martian surface. Shatner asked Nasa about the strange Mars rock found by Opportunity via Twitter during a press conference on the Opportunity rovers latest discoveries - asking mission controllers if they had ruled out 'Martian rock throwers'. Mission controllers responding by saying Shatner's theory was 'unlikely'. An strange rock, seen here on the left image, mysteriously appeared in front of Opportunity rover in the beginning of the month. An American writer claims it 'grew' there and is demanding Nasa investigate further . Shatner asked asking mission controllers if they had ruled out 'Martian rock throwers' in the mystery over the jelly donut rock . 'We've got another question from Twitter, this one from William Shatner,' NASA spokesman Guy Webster said, according to space.com. 'He'd like to know if you've ruled out the Martian rock throwers in the case of the jelly doughnut.' Mars rover lead scientist Steve Squyres of Cornell University responded, saying 'I think Martian rock throwers are unlikely, though we'll keep our eyes open for those.' 'We did actually have another scenario which we're still thinking about. 'It's the 'smoking hole in the ground hypothesis' as I've called it. 'We cannot yet rule out the possibility with certainty that there wasn't a freshly formed impact crater nearby, and that this is a piece of stuff that was thrown out by a small impact. ' A controversial science writer has already filed a lawsuit against Nasa for their failure to investigate whether a rock seen on Mars is in fact an alien lifeform. Last week the rock mysteriously appeared in front of the Opportunity rover, even though the same spot was empty a few days before. It is believed the rock, which is made up of manganese, suplhur and magnesium, suddenly appeared after it was dislodged by a meteorite or even the rover itself. Opportunity landed on Mars in 2004 in what was to be a three-month mission. Instead the rover has lived beyond its prime mission and roved the planet for nearly 10 years. The rover is currently at 'Solander Point' at the rim of Endeavour Crater on Mars. The rover hasn't moved in over a month as it waits for better weather on the red planet. During its time on Mars, the rover has identified rock laden with what scientists believed to be clay minerals. Their presence is an indication that the rock has been altered at some point in the past through prolonged contact with water. But author Rhawn Joseph, who writes on a wide variety of subjects - including books theorising that life on Earth has its roots in outer space - rejects such mundane explanations. The lawsuit, filed in a California court, is aimed at Nasa and requests that it 'perform a public, scientific, and statutory duty which is to closely photograph and thoroughly scientifically examine and investigate a putative biological organism'. Popular Science reports that Joseph has blasted the rock theory, since his examination found 'the same structure in miniature was clearly visible upon magnification and appears to have just germinated from spores'. In other words, it grew there. The suit adds: 'The refusal to take close up photos from various angles, the refusal to take microscopic images of the specimen, the refusal to release high resolution photos, is inexplicable, recklessly negligent, and bizarre.' He alleges that Nasa have not investigated the spore-rock closely as they trying to gut planetary exploration programmes and serve corporate interests. He added: 'The only other exploration is that Nasa's rover team is outrageously negligent, obscenely incompetent, shockingly ignorant about basic biology and prone to magical thinking.' Lead Mars Exploration rover scientist Steve Squyres recently told a Nasa event: 'We are as we speak situated with the rover's instruments deployed making measurements of this rock. 'We've taken pictures of both the doughnut and jelly parts, and the got the first data on the composition of the jelly yesterday. 'It's like nothing we've ever seen before,' he said. 'It's very high in sulphur, it's very high in magnesium, it's got twice as much manganese as we've ever seen in anything on Mars. 'I don't know what any of this means. We're completely confused, and everyone in the team is arguing and fighting (over what it means).' The discovery led Nasa last week to issue a Mars status report entitled "encountering a surprise".' 'Opportunity encountered a slight surprise -- a rock had appeared in the images that had not been there before.,' Nasa said in a statement. A panoramic image of the Martian area named 'Lion King,' showing 'Eagle Crater' and the surrounding plains of Meridiani Planum on Mars taken by the Rover Opportunity . 'This target that has been named 'Pinnacle Island' and its origin has been the target of much speculation. 'It will likely be the target of considerable investigation over the next few days' 'We saw this rock just sitting here,' said Squyres. 'It looks white around the edge in the middle and there’s a low spot in the centre that's dark red - it looks like a jelly doughnut.' The rover, which landed on Mars in 2004, hasn't moved in over a month as it waits for better weather on the red planet. But a photo taken on Sol 3540 (January 8th, or the 3,540th Martian solar day since the Opportunity rover landed) shows a rock that wasn't visible in previous photos taken on Sol 3536. Astronomers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, who maintain the rover camera database for Nasa, have named the ‘donut-sized’ rock Pinnacle Island. Mr Squyres said the rock may be Martian rock that was blown out of the ground by a meteoroid impact and landed next to the rover. Another theory is that the rock previously got stuck in a rover wheel and finally fell into its current position,according to a report in Discovery News. ‘[The rock] obligingly turned upside down, so we're seeing a side that hasn't seen the Martian atmosphere in billions of years and there it is for us to investigate,’ Mr Squyres said. Opportunity landed on Mars in 2004 in what was to be a three-month mission. 10 years later, and it is still active on the red planet . ‘It's just a stroke of luck.’ Opportunity has been on Mars for 10 years, despite being designed for a 90 Sol mission . A Sol, one Martian day, is slightly longer than an Earth day at 24 hours and 37 minutes. Its mission has been extended several times as it continues to make new and profound discoveries about the red planet. In December 2012, for instance mission scientists announced that Opportunity was exploring a special spot on the rim of Endeavour Crater. The area, known as Matijevic Hill, was found to contain clay minerals, implying that the area was exposed to water billions of years ago.

Zakouma National Park, Chad (CNN) -- Rian Labuschagne pilots his single-engine bush plane low over a herd of elephants, his trained eye scanning for calves. He's spotted 21 in just the last few months. "See that baby drinking?" he asks, as he dips the left wing over a watering hole. It's something Chad's Zakouma National Park has been without for nearly five years. Large-scale Sudanese poaching operations from across the border have decimated the park's elephants. In the span of just a few years they slaughtered 90% of the park's elephant population. Labuschagne, the park's director, says until now, the survivors were too traumatized to mate. Zakouma is both blessed and cursed by its geography. The 3,000 square kilometers of pristine Sahel is a crucial habitat for the species, separating desert to the north and savannah to the south. But the park is also surrounded by conflict. To the east is Darfur, to the south, Central African Republic, and to the west is Nigeria. Opinion: Elephants slaughtered for trinkets and terrorism . "There were less weapons in the past," says Idriss Déby, President of Chad. "Today all around us there are more weapons and more men who can use them. Poaching has no borders. All of this leads us to believe that national security, and regional security may be threatened by the poachers." We fly towards the park's northern boundary, the landscape below dotted with nomad tents and their livestock, and the occasional camel caravan crossing ancient trading tracks. The terrain here is rugged, lawless and largely inaccessible by car, making it ideal for poachers. It's been that way for centuries, Labuschagne tells us from his pilot's seat. Hunting elephants here is nothing new. What is, are the weapons and tactics. "They operate in small groups, they are usually about four to five people on horseback, they've got good communication systems, satellite phones, local phones," he says. "They are absolute professionals in what they do. Except the shooting — it's just done in a massacre way. They just machine gun as many as they can, shoot as many as they can, get the ivory and then move on." In September 2012, African Parks, which manages Zakouma, saw six of its rangers killed in a sophisticated three-pronged strike on their hillside outpost. Piles of stones mark the graves where they were buried. Dark patches still outline where the tents once stood, burnt to the ground by the poachers. It's the first time one of the ranger's sons, 18-year-old Issa Idris, has visited the site where his father was slain. "I am remembering everything about him, what he must have been doing, what happened to him," Idris says in hushed tones, his eyes filled with pain. The attack, Labuschagne tells us, was revenge for a raid his rangers conducted on the poacher's camp just weeks before. Evidence collected from the camp gave Labuschagne more evidence into just what they were up against. They found thousands of rounds of ammunition, satellite phones containing images of hundreds of slaughtered elephants that matched those of carcasses in Cameroon, linking the poachers to one of the biggest elephant slaughters in decades. Also recovered at the site were Sudanese military uniforms, one identified as similar to those issued to Sudan's Abu Tira paramilitary service, notorious for its brutality and linked to atrocities in Darfur, and a stamped leave slip from the Sudanese Army. This month, the park, with the help of an outside agency, traced the ammunitions back to Khartoum. Sudan's Minister of Information, Ahmed Bilal Osman, denies the military link. "Sudan has an ammunition factory, but the presence of Sudanese ammunition in Chad may have occurred in many different ways," he said. "Sudan gets blamed for everything." The war in neighboring Central African Republic is bringing even more threats. As Chadians living in the CAR flee the violence many return to the area which borders the park, where they have roots. Like so many others, Amin Younes, 29, is coming home to escape the violence. His wife and three-year-old daughter were brutally murdered. 'Machetes -- I didn't have the courage to look at them," he tells us as he unloads his luggage at a repatriation center. "My heart wouldn't let me look at them." He's hoping to escape the haunting memory and says he'll try to look for work in agriculture. But the influx of refugees, some of whom have weapons from the conflict, ties to the military or the Seleka rebels is a concern to local leaders. There aren't enough jobs here to go around and poaching is lucrative, especially for those battle-hardened. Since taking control of the park in 2010, Labuschagne's employer, the non-profit African Parks, has managed to keep the remaining elephants relatively safe. Labuschagne's team are collaring elephants, allowing them to track and respond to threats with younger, more highly trained rangers. He tells us that one of central Africa's largest herds is secure for now. But, he says, "we have to prepare ourselves. We will become a target again in the future."
Rangers in Chad's Zakouma National Park face a serious threat from poaching operations . In recent years, park rangers have been executed in their line of work . 90% of the park's elephants have been slaughtered for their ivory . Poachers have come from neighboring Sudan; now the CAR war presents a new threat .

A self-taught photographer has scooped a coveted award after taking stunning images of some of the most beautiful places on earth with the world's most expensive digital camera. John Chapple has been awarded the Hasselblad Owners Club Photographer of The Month for July for his mesmerising image of the Colorado River  meandering around Horseshoe Bend, near Page, Arizona. It was taken on a Hasselblad H3D-50 - considered to be one of the best and one of the expensive cameras in the world. The basic camera price starts at £20,000 but can quickly soar higher once lens are added. The H3D-50 is a 50 megapixel camera - much, much higher than the standard eight megapixels found in the iPhone 5 camera and other digital recorders. Award-winning: This image of the Colorado River meandering around Horseshoe Bend, near Page, Arizona, has won John Chapple the coveted Hasselblad Owners Club Photographer of The Month for July . Stone room with a view: The underside of the Meca Arch in Utah glows from the reflected sunlight off the sandstone cliff just below it in this image taken on a super-high resolution Hasselblad 50megapixel camera . The father-of-two, from Devon but now . living in Southern California, took the Hasselblad on . a road-trip through the west coast of the States to Canada and back . down through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. It was his beautiful images from the trip, which also includes one of a man dancing in a beam of light in Antelope Canyon, . that won him the prestigious prize. On his blog, he wrote: 'Hasselblad . were kind enough to allow me to test drive their H3D-50 in the summer of . 2010. I took a road trip up . 'I was really excited to get to Page, . Arizona, to photograph Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon, and really . use the Hasselblad as it was intended. 'The canyons are on Navajo land, and . after a flash flood that killed 11 tourists in August of 1997, visitors . are only permitted to enter the canyon with a Navajo guide. 'I joined a guided tour group, and we . were shown the best spots to photograph. When we got to the place I’d . wanted to photograph in Antelope Canyon, I got caught up in what I was . doing, and didn’t notice that the group had moved on. Trick of the light: John captured this image of a man dancing in a shaft of light within Antelope Canyon in Arizona with the Hasselblad 50 megapixel camera while on his road-trip across America . Quality shot: The Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, can be seen in startling detail in this image taken on the Hasselbald H3D-50 . Crystal clear: John Chapple, self-taught photographer from Devon, took this image of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina on a top of the range 1DS Canon digital camera . Super-wide view: Chapple took this atmospheric image of the Tarr Steps in Exmoor with a panoramic view Linhof Technorama 617 . The Hasselblad H3D-50 - one of the best digital and most expensive cameras in the world, pictured left, and the Linhof Technorama 617, pictured right, which takes 6cm x17cm negatives - meaning that it can only take four pictures per film roll . 'While I was waiting for a shaft of . direct sunlight to filter into the canyon, the guide came back to get me . to keep me with the group. I knew I only had seconds to capture the . much-anticipated shot. 'There was dust in the air that was . illuminated by the shaft of light, looking incredible. During the long . exposure, another visitor decided to jump in front of my tripod mounted . camera and dance in the beam of light. 'I’m ashamed to admit at the time I . wanted to throttle him, and shared a few choice words with other . photographers there. But when I previewed the image on the back of the . camera, I knew I’d captured a magical shot and it was a 50 megapixel . file.' He has also used a panoramic Linhof Technorama 617 for much of his work, enabling him to take super-wide pictures that are so large the camera can only fit . four images on every film roll. The 6cm x 17cm photographs are much bigger and have a higher rendition than those taken by most digital cameras and can therefore be blown up to huge sizes without blurring. The end result is wide panoramic pictures that are far beyond the range of normal visualisation. Out at sea: Wooden planks stick out of the calm waters surrounding Saint Petersburg, Florida, visible in the distance of this image taken on a Linhof Technorama 617 . Special: Photographs on a Linhof Technorama 617, such as this onhe of a waterfall in Northern California, are taken on a medium format film with a frame size of 6cm x 17cm meaning it can only fit four images on a roll of 120 film . Unique view: The Linhof Technorama 617 allows Chapple to take incredibly wide images that are beyond the range of normal visualisation - like this one of a ship-wrecked bot on the beach at Crow Point in Devon . Red sky at night: Venice Beach in California looks eerily red in this shot taken by John Chapple on a Linhof Technorama 617 . Chapple also owns uses a top of the range 1DS Canon digital camera to take his shots. Chapple was first inspired to become a photographer by the stunning landscape of North Devon where he was born. From the age of 14, Chapple taught himself the ropes before becoming a news photographer in the UK, before travelling around the world on assignments. He has covered the 9/11 atrocities in New York, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the Columbine High School shootings in Colorado. Chapple has also captured the lighter side of life covering Hollywood red carpet events featuring the biggest names in showbiz as well as taking celebrity portraits of stars including Jon Bon Jovi, Shirley McClaine, Samuel L. Jackson  and Hilary Swank. During his travels, Chapple developed his love of capturing landscapes and now spends his time discovering little known corners of the world to shoot in his unique style. He said: 'Taking these photographs has brought me great joy, and seeing my work hanging on the walls of people’s homes is the greatest honor.'

Inspiration: Chapple was first inspired to become a photographer by the stunning scenery, such as Braunton Burrow, pictured, near where he grew up in Devon . Super sharp: The 6cm X 17cm Linhof Technorama 617 negatives means pictures like this one of Saint Petersburg, Florida, can be blown up to huge sizes without the risk of blurring . Breath-taking: The Linhof Technorama 617 has captured this beautiful sunset over the city of Los Angeles in all its glory . Explorer: Chapple has travelled all around the world, including Queensland, Australia, pictured on the Linhof Technorama 617, for his work as a news photographer . Whole new dimension: The Linhof has given a new perspective to this wooden jetty in Western Australia . Blue lagoon: This striking image of Bandon Oregon was taken late at night as the last rays of light fade on a Linhof Technorama 617 .
Self-taught photographer John Chapple has won the Hasselblad Owners Club Photographer of The Month for July . He took the winning image of the Colorado River on a Hasselblad H3D-50 - one of the world's most expensive cameras . Chapple also uses a panoramic Linhof Technorama 617 for many of his image to capture super-wide shots .

When we got to the place I’d . wanted to photograph in Antelope Canyon, I got caught up in what I was . doing, and didn’t notice that the group had moved on. Trick of the light: John captured this image of a man dancing in a shaft of light within Antelope Canyon in Arizona with the Hasselblad 50 megapixel camera while on his road-trip across America . Quality shot: The Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, can be seen in startling detail in this image taken on the Hasselbald H3D-50 . Crystal clear: John Chapple, self-taught photographer from Devon, took this image of the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina on a top of the range 1DS Canon digital camera . Super-wide view: Chapple took this atmospheric image of the Tarr Steps in Exmoor with a panoramic view Linhof Technorama 617 . The Hasselblad H3D-50 - one of the best digital and most expensive cameras in the world, pictured left, and the Linhof Technorama 617, pictured right, which takes 6cm x17cm negatives - meaning that it can only take four pictures per film roll . 'While I was waiting for a shaft of . direct sunlight to filter into the canyon, the guide came back to get me . to keep me with the group. I knew I only had seconds to capture the . much-anticipated shot. 'There was dust in the air that was . illuminated by the shaft of light, looking incredible. During the long . exposure, another visitor decided to jump in front of my tripod mounted . camera and dance in the beam of light. 'I’m ashamed to admit at the time I . wanted to throttle him, and shared a few choice words with other . photographers there. But when I previewed the image on the back of the . camera, I knew I’d captured a magical shot and it was a 50 megapixel . file.' He has also used a panoramic Linhof Technorama 617 for much of his work, enabling him to take super-wide pictures that are so large the camera can only fit . four images on every film roll. The 6cm x 17cm photographs are much bigger and have a higher rendition than those taken by most digital cameras and can therefore be blown up to huge sizes without blurring. The end result is wide panoramic pictures that are far beyond the range of normal visualisation. Out at sea: Wooden planks stick out of the calm waters surrounding Saint Petersburg, Florida, visible in the distance of this image taken on a Linhof Technorama 617 . Special: Photographs on a Linhof Technorama 617, such as this onhe of a waterfall in Northern California, are taken on a medium format film with a frame size of 6cm x 17cm meaning it can only fit four images on a roll of 120 film . Unique view: The Linhof Technorama 617 allows Chapple to take incredibly wide images that are beyond the range of normal visualisation - like this one of a ship-wrecked bot on the beach at Crow Point in Devon . Red sky at night: Venice Beach in California looks eerily red in this shot taken by John Chapple on a Linhof Technorama 617 . Chapple also owns uses a top of the range 1DS Canon digital camera to take his shots. Chapple was first inspired to become a photographer by the stunning landscape of North Devon where he was born. From the age of 14, Chapple taught himself the ropes before becoming a news photographer in the UK, before travelling around the world on assignments. He has covered the 9/11 atrocities in New York, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the Columbine High School shootings in Colorado. Chapple has also captured the lighter side of life covering Hollywood red carpet events featuring the biggest names in showbiz as well as taking celebrity portraits of stars including Jon Bon Jovi, Shirley McClaine, Samuel L. Jackson  and Hilary Swank. During his travels, Chapple developed his love of capturing landscapes and now spends his time discovering little known corners of the world to shoot in his unique style. He said: 'Taking these photographs has brought me great joy, and seeing my work hanging on the walls of people’s homes is the greatest honor.'

Inspiration: Chapple was first inspired to become a photographer by the stunning scenery, such as Braunton Burrow, pictured, near where he grew up in Devon . Super sharp: The 6cm X 17cm Linhof Technorama 617 negatives means pictures like this one of Saint Petersburg, Florida, can be blown up to huge sizes without the risk of blurring . Breath-taking: The Linhof Technorama 617 has captured this beautiful sunset over the city of Los Angeles in all its glory . Explorer: Chapple has travelled all around the world, including Queensland, Australia, pictured on the Linhof Technorama 617, for his work as a news photographer . Whole new dimension: The Linhof has given a new perspective to this wooden jetty in Western Australia . Blue lagoon: This striking image of Bandon Oregon was taken late at night as the last rays of light fade on a Linhof Technorama 617 .

'Joe the Plumber', the everyman used by John McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign, has sparked outrage with an online comment piece claiming 'America needs a white, Republican president'. In an article posted to his website on Thursday, Joe Wurzelbacher assured readers that wanting a 'white Republican president doesn’t make you a racist, it just makes you American.'

Joe the Plumber: In an article posted to his website on Thursday, Joe Wurzelbacher assured readers that wanting a 'white Republican president doesn¿t make you a racist, it just makes you American' The eyebrow-raising opinion piece questioned why nobody accused black people of racism 'when blacks had sanity and disagreed with the policies of racist white Democrat presidents.' The conservative activist also brought Mexicans into his argument, saying 'many deranged Mexicans' who fight for immigration rights 'are not called racist.'

However Wurzelbacher has hit back, saying he did not author the piece but merely copied an article written Kevin Jackson and posted to theblacksphere.net on October 9. According to his profile, Jackson 'believes that empowerment comes when you know who you are and what you stand for.' On Saturday night, Wurzelbacher, 39, wrote on his Facebook page: 'Let no chance to find a boogey man in a non-racist's closet go by without first taking time to blame a white guy for repeating something a black guy said...about a black guy.' Joe the Plumber gained national prominence when he asked then presidential candidate, Barack Obama, a question about his tax plan in 2008. Obama's response included the statement, 'when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.' Obama's response was seized upon by conservative media, as well as by Obama's rival, Republican nominee Senator John McCain, as an indication that Obama was interested in the redistribution of wealth, and had a socialist view of the economy.

Pattamaron Chanbua ignores them and flashes a kind smile back at her little boy fidgeting in the heat, as she makes her way to collect his siblings from school. 'See how everyone looks,' she says, 'they call him a farang [foreigner in Thai ] because they don't believe he's mine he's so white.

The case sparked international outrage when it was reported that Wendy and David Farnell returned from Thailand with his healthy twin sister but left Gammy behind. Mr Farnell claimed they had been told Gammy would be born with the genetic disorder before the twins were born, and asked the surrogacy agency to abort the child and give them a refund or find a solution.

While Gammy remains blissfully unaware of the drama that has followed him thus far, his Thai family are under no illusions that he faces a tough future. The little boy, diagnosed with Down sydrome at six months, has been besieged with health problems. He has been struck by repeated lung infections, cannot walk or crawl properly, suffers from dusty allergies and weak nails that break and fall off and was born with two webbed toes on each foot. As well as health setbacks, last year he found himself unwittingly embroiled in yet another drama when it was revealed his Australian father has a string of previous convictions for sexual offences against girls as young as five.

He also committed further offences against a five-year-old girl from 1988 to 1992. The identities of the three girls were not released but it is believed he knew them. Commenting on the suitably of the Farnell to raise Gammy's twin, Goy says she believes the Australian authorities will ensure she is not exposed to any undue risk. 'Australia is not like Thailand where things are overlooked,' she told Daily Mail Australia, adding: 'They'll make sure Pipah is OK. I hope they love her as much as we love her brother.'

As well as health setbacks, last year he found himself unwittingly embroiled in yet another drama when it was revealed his Australian father has a string of previous convictions for sexual offences against girls as young as five. His grandmother Pichaya (right) says: 'He's so smart, he loves the 6pm news and as soon as he hears it come on, he runs inside in his baby walker' His doting grandfather Prasong (left) says: 'He loves the national anthem and stands still and tall in his walker when it comes on' Court documents released by the Supreme Court of Western Australia reveal that Farnell assaulted two girls aged seven to ten in 1982 and 1983 at his home and during 'secretive meetings' in his garden shed. He also committed further offences against a five-year-old girl from 1988 to 1992. The identities of the three girls were not released but it is believed he knew them. Commenting on the suitably of the Farnell to raise Gammy's twin, Goy says she believes the Australian authorities will ensure she is not exposed to any undue risk. 'Australia is not like Thailand where things are overlooked,' she told Daily Mail Australia, adding: 'They'll make sure Pipah is OK. I hope they love her as much as we love her brother.' Reflecting on the events of last year, Goy, whose husband runs a grocery store, says she has no regrets but maintains she would never become a surrogate again . 'One day I'll tell Gammy what happened, I'll tell him "When you were born you were so special because you had a sister and your parents couldn't afford two so we said we'd help,"' Goy said . Reflecting on the events of last year, Goy, whose husband runs a grocery store, says she has no regrets but maintains she would never become a surrogate again. 'I did for good money, it pays well, but happened to us was a shock – never again. 'In the end we're the ones who got lucky because Gammy is a blessing and changed our lives for the better. 'One day I'll tell Gammy what happened, I'll tell him "When you were born you were so special because you had a sister and your parents couldn't afford two so we said we'd help,"' she said.

Lord Sugar has called for an end to Britain's benefits culture claiming Eastern European immigrants see the country as 'the land of milk and honey'. The Labour peer said hard-working people found abuse of the benefits system 'demoralising' and that it needed to be 'sorted out'. The 67-year-old, talking ahead of the launch of The Apprentice on BBC 1 tonight, claimed some of the issues could be solved by 'having balls and standing up to Brussels'. Scroll down for video . Lord Sugar, pictured, has said Eastern European immigrants see Britain as 'the land of milk and honey' He told the Sun said: 'What annoys me the most is the total abuse of the benefits system. The claims culture. It is demoralising when you see stories about people who have lots of children who can't be bothered to work because they get more money from the system. That has to be sorted out. 'And the fact that people from Europe can come here, particularly the old Eastern Bloc countries that have joined the European community - they see us like the land of milk and honey. 'Before you know it they are on benefits, national health and all that stuff. You can solve it by having balls and standing up to Brussels.' From November, European jobseekers will only be able to claim Jobseekers Allowance and other key welfare benefits for a maximum period of 3 months. It followed changes that were announced earlier this year to introduce a minimum three month delay to claiming benefits and to cut off benefits after six months unless the individual has clear job prospects. The new rules applied to jobseekers’ allowance, child tax credit and child benefit. He suggested that Eastern European immigrants should have to live in Britain for 'three or four years' and have 'worked and contributed' before being entitled to benefits. As well as hitting out at European immigrants rushing to Britain to claim off the State having made no contribution to the national economy, he also took aim at leading politicians. During the interview the former Amstrad boss - now in his tenth year fronting The Apprentice - was critical of Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and said the current coalition was 'no good'. And he said it was 'fair to say' that with the General Election looming his Labour leader Ed Miliband was 'not the most popular of people as far as the country is concerned'. Lord Sugar (pictured centre next to fellow Apprentice stars Nick Hewer and Karren Brady) said hard-working people found abuse of the benefits system 'demoralising' and that it needed to be 'sorted out' But he also backed the MP saying 'he can be Prime Minister'. Alan Sugar was made a Lord in 2009 and has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to the Labour Party over the years. The Labour Party declined to comment on Lord Sugar's remarks this morning. UKIP's Immigration spokesman Steven Woolfe MEP said: 'It is nice to see that even one of Labour’s staunchest supporters, Labour Peer Lord Alan Sugar, has come to his senses and now recognises how the UK’s benefits system is being targeted by certain groups of EU citizens allowed into our country under the "free movement of people" obligations of the single market. 'In fact, it was successive Labour governments who opened the doors to mass unskilled migration into the UK. 'It was Labour who opened the doors to peoples from Eastern European countries simply to garner votes in the institutions of the European Union.' It is not the first time the businessman has sparked controversy. Last week he stormed out of his own boardroom and accused a BBC Radio 4 reporter of 'gutter journalism' after he was questioned about being a bully. The frosty exchange between Lord Sugar and Today Programme business reporter Justin Rowlatt left listeners stunned during an interview to mark the 10th anniversary of The Apprentice. The BBC had been invited to question Lord Sugar at his Essex HQ but minutes into the interview the tycoon accused Rowlatt of being a 'gutter journalist' and 'picking up c**p'. Earlier this year he called for the axe to fall on the BBC’s ‘layers of jobsworths’. Apprentice boss Lord Sugar (pictured) is no stranger to controversy . The Apprentice boss said the BBC should axe the bureaucrats and managers who obsess with penny-pinching and instead focus on producing world-class programmes. The Labour peer used a debate in Parliament complained that the BBC was ‘heavily overstaffed’ by people constantly looking over their shoulders worrying about their critics. In October last year he was accused of posting a controversial Twitter message. The outspoken entrepreneur and Apprentice star posted a photograph of a crying Chinese child to millions of his Twitter followers, joking that the youngster was upset after being told off for leaving Apple’s iPhone production line – a reference to the Asian factories where the phones are made. The tweet prompted a single complaint to the Metropolitan Police from a Twitter user. The police took no action against him .

(CNN) -- Rory McIlroy loves making birdies, but he's partial to the odd selfie too. And thanks to a late change of heart from Ryder Cup organizers, golf's world No. 1 can tweet to his heart's content at this week's transatlantic tussle between Europe and the United States. A ban on uploading pictures via social media during the tournament in Scotland has been reversed, which will no doubt please four-time major champion McIlroy and his 2.1 million-strong Twitter following. This pro-selfie stance reflects a growing shift in attitude from golf's authorities, with the 2014 Ryder Cup set to be the most socially connected in the team competition's 87-year history. "Selfies are positively encouraged and I expect to see plenty of them," says its match director Edward Kitson. "We want people to share their stories online and feel part of the Ryder Cup." This commitment to sharing will also embrace ultrafast 4G wireless connection and radio frequency wristbands that allow fans to indulge in activities around the course and post their experiences to social media instantly. And while there are rules in place to minimize disruption to play, it is all a far cry from a six-year period between 2007 and 2012 when mobile phones were banned from the British Open after complaints from players. Sport has grown into one of the biggest draws on Twitter and Facebook, and a strong social media presence is now essential for any self-respecting major event. "There's now an expectation among fans that their experience will include social media in some way," Caroline Cheese told CNN from the offices of UK-based LiveWire Sport, which counts the English Premier League and broadcaster Channel 4 among its clients. "Events now see social strategy as a crucial part of the planning process -- not just a luxury add-on or afterthought. "It doesn't just start when the event kicks off either. Events can start connecting with their fans months ahead, building a buzz, offering exclusive competitions and, in doing so, creating a loyal fanbase." Even those fans who are in the stands at a sporting event are developing an appetite for in-game interaction. Thanks to reliable wifi across Hoylake's links at this year's British Open, many fans were able to watch the action right in front of them as well as follow TV coverage on a tablet or mobile phone. The concept of "second-screening" -- watching TV with a mobile, laptop or tablet to hand -- has become the norm in recent years thanks to the explosion in social media. Now clubs, and brands, are cottoning on to the opportunity it presents. Scottish football champion Celtic has earned plaudits for its in-stadium wifi network and dedicated matchday app -- only the second of its kind in Europe. The app provides text commentary, stats, images and interactive polls during a game, while pulling in the best of social media. It also encourages fans vote for a sponsor's man of the match. "If you think about it, it is totally natural. You check your phone however many times a day, if you are at a live sporting event of course you want to do that," Niall Coen, managing director of Snack Media, the digital content wing of the app's developer, Sports Revolution, told CNN. "It's human nature -- everyone wants to talk about the great goal they saw go in, or debate whether that was a red card or a penalty. "When you see something that's important to you, you want to share with like-minded people around you and that's the basic premise of a lot of these social media business, not just sport. "Part of the project at Celtic, and part of its success, is being able to fill that gap because when you have huge numbers of people together in one place you don't have the coverage and connectivity." Future plans for the app include an ability for fans to buy tickets for matches or order food and drink to pick up during halftime. And as sport's social presence continues to evolve and technology gets better, Coen thinks it won't be long before event rights-holders themselves get in on the action. "The likes of Twitter and Facebook are quite open about fact that sport is one of the biggest interests amongst their users," Coen added. "One way it might go is some of the top rights-holders in sports and football might club together and do their own channel. "Or maybe Twitter and Facebook could enhance their offering, with VIP areas that include a stream about a particular event, where you have all the very best commentators." The recent World Cup underlined what an important accoutrement social media is for any global sporting event. A total of 672 million tweets relating to the football showpiece were sent during the tournament in Brazil -- a new record according to Twitter. The 35.6 million tweets sent during Brazil's humiliating 7-1 defeat to eventual winner Germany was the most sent during a single sporting event. And it shows that whether inside the stadium or not, the online debate around the game is growing ever larger. "Fans aren't passive anymore, they want to feel part of the event and social is crucial in that," Cheese explained. "It allows events to deliver behind-the-scenes content, competitions, hashtag initiatives to allow fans to connect with each other and to the event itself. "Perhaps its most crucial role -- especially for really big events -- is in bringing together a global audience. "For example, the Premier League -- and many of its clubs -- engages directly with its millions of fans in China via channels like Sina Weibo. "The big match might be taking place in Manchester but its reach is way, way bigger than that."

A single father was left red-faced when he received an anonymous note at a playground which accused him of being a poor parent. Quills, the father-of-two, had taken his children out to a park in Sydney's inner west on Thursday morning while anxious about trying to find a place to live by next Saturday. The 26-year-old believes a cowardly act was prompted by him spending time on his mobile phone to search for future homes while his son was asleep in his pram and his daughter was playing with other kids. However this was unbeknownst to the scribe who left a note to the father, reading: 'Dear Mummys and Daddys, Please Get off Your Phones. Thank You! Your Kid.' Single father Quills pictured with his son Jasper at Camperdown Memorial Rest Park in Newtown - Sydney's inner west - just before he received an offensive note from a bystander . The note was written on a paper plate and left on the empty pram while Quills took his son to play with his sister . Quills, who became a single father this year, says the note made him feel 'violated'. 'For me it seems ridiculous because the person was being judgemental for no reason,' he told Daily Mail Australia. When his one-year-old son Jasper awoke from his nap at Camperdown Memorial Rest Park in Newtown, Quills picked him up and took him over to play with his three-year-old sister Indigo while he quickly tried to finish off a message he was writing to a potential landlord. 'Then as I was walking back to the pram, sitting on the seat was a paper plate,' Quills said. 'There were a lot of people at the park - a lot of them on phones too - so I looked around, trying to see if anyone claimed responsibility for the note. 'No one did so I tore it up because I knew there was a good chance that the person was looking at me and I wanted to show them that it wasn't a worthwhile message.' The note was a huge insult to Quills, a professional artist, as he's been trying hard for the last four months to make ends meet. 'I've been looking for a place online hoping to find somewhere to stay because I don't want to put my stuff on the street,' he said. 'But it's been a bit of a struggle because it's quite difficult to find a share house that will take in two kids. 'At one point I couldn't afford to feed myself and buy nappies or baby formula for my kids.' The single father pictured with three-year-old daughter Indigo (left) and Jasper (right) Since Quills was evicted from his last Sydney home nearly four months ago, he's lived at three temporary homes. While he is required to move out by next Saturday, the father-of-two hopes to finally settle down in his fourth home - for the sake of his kids. For a single parent who only gains little support from his family, Quills said he's always been committed to being a good father. 'My dad was absent most of my life,' he said. 'So I've always wanted to be around my kids to play a role in their lives – a role that I wanted my dad to have in mine.' But since him and his partner of five years separated, the split custody of their children has left Quills shattered. The 26-year-old says being a good father has always been top priority to him . Quills took to Facebook and shared his thoughts on the recent incident . 'It's devastating for me that I only get to spend half the time with my kids now,' he said. 'Both of them were planned and at the time my partner and I were prepared for them. 'But one of the big changes in my life since becoming a single dad is that I often feel I am no longer allowed to engage with other people's children. People, particularly traditional mothers, tend to assume the worst of a lone young man taking an interest in their charges.' So the recent incident has added salt to the wound, leaving Quills indignant which brought him to post his thoughts on social media. 'I just received this obscene gesture from some person,' he wrote. 'Maybe if you didn't have such rigid ideas about parenting you would realise that the world is actually a pretty nice place. 'I think that it is, despite being typecast as a pervert or a distant parent for no good reason. It must be awful walking around making negative snap judgments about people all the time.' Quills further told Daily Mail Australia that he hopes others think before they made judgements about single fathers. 'I think a lot of other parents agree with me that they often get judged too harshly for the way we choose to raise our children,' he said. 'I think people generally have their own idea of parenting and an idolised notion of it until they become one.'
A single father-of-two was at a playground in Sydney's inner west on Thursday when he received the anonymous note . While his son was asleep and his daughter was playing, the 26-year-old was on his phone for awhile . Quills says he was searching for places to live as he desperately needs to find a home by next Saturday . The father says he felt 'violated' by the person who was 'being judgemental for no reason'

Quills took to Facebook and shared his thoughts on the recent incident . 'It's devastating for me that I only get to spend half the time with my kids now,' he said. 'Both of them were planned and at the time my partner and I were prepared for them. 'But one of the big changes in my life since becoming a single dad is that I often feel I am no longer allowed to engage with other people's children. People, particularly traditional mothers, tend to assume the worst of a lone young man taking an interest in their charges.' So the recent incident has added salt to the wound, leaving Quills indignant which brought him to post his thoughts on social media. 'I just received this obscene gesture from some person,' he wrote. 'Maybe if you didn't have such rigid ideas about parenting you would realise that the world is actually a pretty nice place. 'I think that it is, despite being typecast as a pervert or a distant parent for no good reason. It must be awful walking around making negative snap judgments about people all the time.' Quills further told Daily Mail Australia that he hopes others think before they made judgements about single fathers. 'I think a lot of other parents agree with me that they often get judged too harshly for the way we choose to raise our children,' he said. 'I think people generally have their own idea of parenting and an idolised notion of it until they become one.'

Last weekend against Arsenal had appeared to represent a significant step forward but instead of hammering their foot down on the accelerator, Liverpool threatened to stall once again at Turf Moor. For so long here, it seemed that this would be another desperate day for Brendan Rodgers, another afternoon where his long-term credentials at the club would be questioned. Failure to win on Friday would have meant just four victories in 16 games in all competitions. Not since 1992 - the first season of the Premier League era - had Liverpool been as low as 10th on Christmas Day. For the first hour of this game, things looked destined to take yet another turn for the worse. VIDEO Scroll down for Brendan Rodgers: Raheem Sterling is learning and adapting quickly . Raheem Sterling rounds Burnley keeper Tom Heaton and slots calmly, but are his talents wasted up front . Sterling scored the winner for Liverpool at Turf Moor on Boxing Day soon after the hour mark . Burnley swarmed all over their illustrious visitors, invigorated by the adrenalin shots pumped from the terraces. This felt like an old-fashioned Boxing Day fixture, with Turf Moor packed to the rafters with families, from grandparents to toddlers, filling out all sides of this charismatic old stadium. In that first-half, a Burnley goal appeared inevitable, the home side every bit as enterprising and vibrant as their visitors were anaemic and listless. Liverpool looked ripe for a giant-killing. The problem for Brendan Rodgers these days is that his side's issues are not contained to one area. Instead, the malaise spreads throughout the team, from back to front and the current 3-5-2 formation with Kolo Toure in defence, Jordan Henderson at wing back and Raheem Sterling as the lone striker feels rather akin to putting a flimsy plaster on an open wound. Once again at Turf Moor, Liverpool had no focal point in the final third. Raheem Sterling scuttled around, dribbled with purpose and finished with composure to decide the game but the feeling remains that his considerable qualities are wasted in this position. Sterling dribbled with purpose but was not the focal point Brendan Rodgers needs in attack . It only serves to underline Liverpool's impotency in front of goal. They had just five shots in this game. Before this match, Liverpool's seven forward players - Sterling, Coutinho, Rickie Lambert, Mario Balotelli, Daniel Sturridge, Lazar Markovic and Fabio Borini - had played 4,435 minutes in the Premier League this season. Taken together, they had scored just seven goals - averaging a goal every 663 minutes - or every 7 or so games. It is a quite stunning statistic and a damning indictment of the transfer committee reportedly responsible for Liverpool's summer transfer strategy. Rodgers will hope that a solution can be uncovered in the January sales or that Sturridge recovers sooner rather than later. Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has a number of pressing issues with his line-up from back to front . Perhaps even more urgent is the need to recruit a goalkeeper of elite standing. Brad Jones pulled up in this game after 16 minutes and the most anxious of performances from Simon Mignolet suggests that his spell out of the team team has done little to improve his state of mind. He looked horribly short of confidence, skewing long-kicks out of play, flapping at crosses and causing all sorts of panic for those in front of him. Clearly, Mignolet is a more talented goalkeeper than the recent months suggest and there must be some sympathy for him. It is difficult to imagine what it must be like when the quicksands of self-doubt takes hold, when the opposition supporters goad you with chants of 'You're **** and you know you are', as an unforgiving Burnley home crowd did here. Even more presing is keeper Simon Mignolet's lack of form and now an injury to Brad Jones . Jones leaves the pitch with an injury paving the way for Mignolet's return for Liverpool . An unforgiving Burnley crowe chanted to Mignolet: 'You're **** and you know you are' As it transpired, Mignolet survived here and who knows, the clean sheet may restore some confidence to the stricken Belgian. He was bullied and harried but he survived. Maybe, just maybe, it could be a turning point for both Mignolet and Liverpool. That, however, must be countered against a growing number inside Anfield that perceive that this struggle extends beyond a crisis of confidence and that Mignolet instead simply lacks the requisite qualities to be a first-choice goalkeeper at a club of Liverpool's aspirations. Rodgers will certainly hope for the former and he will also view this result as fundamental in the club's attempts to hunt down the seven point gap that separates his side from Southampton as they look to secure Champions League football for next season. If that is to be achieved, Liverpool must make a major step up from this performance.

By . Fiona Macrae . PUBLISHED: . 20:41 EST, 5 December 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 02:55 EST, 6 December 2012 . Forget fad diets and soggy salads and think yourself thin. A study has shown that believing a meal was bigger than it actually was can curb appetite. One hundred men and women were shown either a large or small bowl of soup and then given it to eat. Crucially, some soup was removed from or added to the bowl as they tucked in, without them realising it. Hungry: Forget the diet, losing weight might be as simple as thinking yourself thin . Immediately afterwards, those who ate the smaller portion felt more hungry. But after just two or three hours, the amount eaten had little effect on hunger. Instead, those who believed they had eaten the big bowl of soup felt the most satisfied. This meant that if two people had each eaten a small bowl of soup, the one that had been initially given a large portion felt fewer hunger pangs. A day later, those who had been shown the large portion also rated soup as being more satiating. The study, published in the journal PLoS ONE adds to evidence that our memory of what we have eaten plays a key role in dampening appetite. Amnesiacs, for instance, might eat three or four meals one after the other without feeling full. Bristol University researcher Jeff Brunstrom said: ‘Obesity remains a major public health concern. ‘Therefore understanding controls of energy intake should be high priority. ‘This is showing that the amount of hunger we experience between meals isn’t a simple product of the amount or type of food that we actually consumed - there is some sort of psychology involved. Professor Brunstrom has previously shown that those who are distracted while eating are hungrier afterwards. He said: ‘We have shown that if you distract someone when they eat, they have a poorer memory of that meal and also eat more at a subsequent meal. ‘Generally speaking, it’s perhaps important to have a good memory of what you have eaten. ‘One way of doing that is to make sure you don’t eat in front of the TV or computer screen.’

MPs have rejected proposals to ban abortions on the grounds of gender amid claims it would make it harder for women from Muslim communities to seek help. The change, in an amendment to the Serious Crime Bill, was last night defeated by 291 votes to 201. The proposed ban was tabled by Tory MP Fiona Bruce but was dealt a major blow when shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper wrote to Labour MPs urging them to vote against it. The proposed ban was tabled by Tory MP Fiona Bruce but was dealt a major blow when shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper (right) wrote to Labour MPs urging them to vote against it . Miss Cooper said that to support the change would make ‘vulnerable women’ less likely to have ‘open and honest conversations’ with doctors and nurses. David Cameron also said it could stop women being able to ‘avoid the certainty of genetic disease’. Last night’s vote centred on plans to make it crystal clear that sex-selective terminations are illegal. Critics insist that the existing legislation on the issue is confusing and that terminations based on the sex of the foetus are still going on in some communities. More than 100 MPs have put their name to the amendment tabled by Mrs Bruce, who said it was needed ‘to stop women being misled, to send a strong signal, and to provide an opportunity for Government help’. The TUC has urged Labour MPs to oppose a ban on  sex-selective abortion which will be debated today . But Miss Cooper claimed the move would make it impossible to terminate a child suffering from sex-specific abnormalities. In her letter to Labour MPs, she wrote: ‘Concerns have been raised that some women are put under intense pressure by their partners, families or communities to deliver male children.’ She added: ‘Fiona Bruce’s amendment will do little to alleviate the external pressures or coercion these women face, nor eradicate prejudices, customs and traditions which are based on the idea of the inferiority of women and which may amount to pressure to seek an abortion because of the sex of a foetus. ‘Some organisations have raised concern that Bruce’s amendment would simply make vulnerable women less likely to have open and honest conversations with healthcare professionals about their circumstances, making it harder to get them support.’ Tory MP Fiona Bruce has tabled an amendment which will clarify the law on gender-selective abortion . Miss Cooper instead called on Labour MPs to support a rival amendment which called for a thorough assessment of the evidence on sex-selective abortion, together with a new government plan to promote cultural change. At a Tory rally in Hastings, Mr Cameron said he supported the ‘status quo’ whereby abortion on gender grounds is not legal but could be allowed in some cases. ‘Now, there are very few circumstances, for example avoiding the certainty of genetic disease, that it might be allowed, so I support that,’ he said. ‘But in doing so, I hope that the abortion rules are properly policed and prosecutions and all the rest of it are carried out when the laws are broken.’ Miss Bruce’s amendment to the Serious Crime Bill attempted to make sure that nothing in the Abortion Act ‘is to be interpreted as allowing a pregnancy to be terminated on the grounds of the sex of the unborn child’. It would have meant that women who have abortions in these circumstances and the doctors who approve them could be liable for criminal prosecution. Last night Rani Bilkhu, director of Jeena International – which campaigns against sex-selective abortions – called the vote a ‘disgrace’. ‘This is an insult to the women we work with who have suffered under the burden of sex-selective abortion and have said they want clarity in the law,’ she said. ‘To think that a few Westminster bubble MPs could scupper such an important vote mocks the very fabric of British democracy. It is a disgrace.’

(CNN) -- Oilfield services giant Halliburton pleaded guilty Thursday to destroying test results that investigators had sought as evidence in the Deepwater Horizon disaster, and federal prosecutors announced a related charge against one of its executives. In a federal court in New Orleans, Halliburton admitted to throwing out test results on the design of the well at the heart of the disaster. The company was given the maximum fine of $200,000 on the charge, the Justice Department said. In announcing the plea, the Justice Department also announced that it was accusing Anthony Badalamenti, who was Halliburton's cementing technology director at the time of the blowout, with a single count of destroying evidence. Halliburton and well owner BP are still battling in court over responsibility for the April 2010 disaster. Halliburton, as the cement contractor on the well, says it told BP to use more devices to center the cement casing in the well but BP ignored its advice. The issue has been a key point of contention between the two companies in hearings and litigation ever since. But prosecutors accused Halliburton of running computer simulations in May and June 2010 that showed "little difference" between the 21 centralizers it says it recommended and the six BP eventually used -- and then destroying the results. Thursday's charge against Badalamenti alleges that he gave the order to destroy the results. Efforts to contact him for comment were not immediately successful. The Deepwater Horizon blowout killed 11 rig workers and unleashed the biggest oil spill in U.S. history. The federal government estimates more than 200 million gallons poured out of the ruptured well, located nearly a mile underwater off southeastern Louisiana. The environmental effects of the disaster are still being determined, and BP says it has paid out $32 billion for cleanup, compensation and penalties. In 2011, BP accused Halliburton of destroying evidence -- including "inexplicably missing" computer modeling results -- "to eliminate any risk that this evidence would be used against it at trial." Halliburton is the last of the three major players to admit criminal wrongdoing in the 2010 blowout and resulting oil spill. BP has admitted to manslaughter and 13 other criminal counts and agreed to pay $4 billion in fines, while Transocean, owner and operator of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, admitted to violating the Clean Water Act and paid $1.4 billion in civil and criminal penalties. A federal report in 2011 concluded that BP, Halliburton and Transocean all violated federal offshore safety regulations and shared responsibility for the disaster.

(CNN) -- Lots of kids are into dinosaurs. Tyler Lyson says he just never grew out of it. He grew up in rural North Dakota and says fossils were more widespread there than in other places in the U.S. Tyler Lyson's interest in fossil discovery led him to help create a research foundation. "I was very fortunate to grow up in a very rural area ... that just happens to be one of the best places to find dinosaur fossils," Lyson said. But in 1999, he didn't find just any fossil; he discovered something jaw-dropping: a 25-foot-long dinosaur, complete with skin. Lyson's find was an Edmontosaurus he named Dakota. The 65 million-year-old mummified dinosaur was unearthed with Lyson standing by in 2004. Lyson explained that the dinosaur is one of approximately six "dinosaur mummies" in the world. "This dinosaur mummy has portions that none of the other dinosaur mummies have preserved," he said. "So we're able to get a good look at the feet and the legs and the hands and basically the entire body -- what it actually looked like." Watch the CNN.com Live interview » . Lyson is the co-founder of the Marmarth Research Foundation in his hometown. The foundation is creating a museum and outreach programs to give volunteers hands-on field and lab work with fossils.

Andrej Kramaric has been told he must hit the ground running for Leicester in their bid to beat the drop as the Premier League’s bottom side ready themselves for an unrelenting run of fixtures. Leicester goalkeeper Ben Hamer knows his team need goals instantly with games against Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City within the space of a month — and spelt that out to his new team-mate. Kramaric played 30 minutes in the defeat against Stoke which undermined Leicester’s recent revival, following the Croatian striker’s £9.3million move from Rijeka after a successful work-permit appeal. Andrej Kramaric signed for Leicester this week, and made his first appearance against Stoke on Saturday . Kramaric (centre) shakes hands with manager Nigel Pearson as he readies himself to come on for the Foxes . Fans are excited by the prospect of the new £9.3 million man - one supporter holds a shirt outside the ground . The 23-year-old has scored 28 goals in 31 games this season but had not played for a month before Saturday. ‘It is hard. He’s just come over and he gets thrown into the action,’ said Hamer. ‘Really, he’s got to make an instant impact. Hopefully he can. He hasn’t got time to settle down because we haven’t got that opportunity. Time is of the essence. ‘He’s been sharp in training. I’ve been impressed with him.’ Hamer, 27, has stepped up to replace Kasper Schmeichel, who is out for a few more weeks after breaking a metatarsal. Leicester keeper Ben Hamer (right) has been impressed with Kramaric in training in his first week at the club . Bojan, labelled by Mark Hughes as one of his best ever signings, won the game with a single goal for Stoke . Pearson said there is no guarantee Kasper Schmeichel will come straight back into the Leicester team . Leicester have scored just three goals in their last seven home league games . Manager Nigel Pearson said there was no guarantee the Danish goalkeeper would come straight back into his team once fit, nor that Mark Schwarzer, signed from Chelsea aged 42, would get a game either. ‘I will make the decision on who plays based on who I think is best at any given time,’ said Pearson. ‘Nobody has a divine right to play and I have been pretty pleased with Ben since he has been in the side.’ Bojan scored a superb goal to win the game, his fourth in 10 appearances to cement his status as one of the best value signings last summer. His modest cost of £500,000 is put into context by the price needed to bring Kramaric to England, or the £25m to take Wilfried Bony to Manchester City.

By . David Mccormack . and Lydia Warren . A photo of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, smiling and posing with a former senior Taliban official in Afghanistan has been posted on Twitter. The undated photo, likely taken during Bergdahl’s five years in captivity, was posted on the social media site on Wednesday by @khorasan3, an account associated with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Along with the image were the words ‘#US Solider #Bergdahl with Martyr #Taliban Leader Badar'udin Haqqani(RH) S/O Shaykh Jalaludin Haqqani(HA).’ Scroll down for video . This photo of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, smiling and posing with a former senior Taliban official in Afghanistan, was posted on Twitter on Wednesday . The Middle East Research Institute has confirmed that the man in the photo is Taliban Commander Badruddin Haqqani, a senior member of the Haqqani network in Afghanistan. He was considered the organisation's day-to-day operations commander and was killed in a U.S. drone strike in August 2012. He was also the son of Haqqani head Jalaluddin Haqqani. The Haqqani Network is an Islamist insurgent group allied with the Taliban and using asymmetric warfare to fight against US-led NATO forces and the government of Afghanistan. Later @khorasan tweeted a series of messages in which they claimed Bergdahl was never tortured by the Taliban and only treated with kindness during his five years in captivity. The Middle East Research Institute has confirmed that the man in the photo is Taliban Commander Badruddin Haqqani, a senior member of the Haqqani network in Afghanistan . Former POW Bergdahl was controversially released by the Taliban in May in exchange for five Guantanamo Bay detainees. Since arriving back on American soil, he has been held at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio as part of his 'reintegration.' Last week it emerged that he is being allowed to wander off the Texas base and while under supervision he has visited a library, a supermarket, stores and fast-food chains near the camp. During the . trips, Bergdahl sometimes wears civilian clothing and other times . dresses in his military uniform, leading passersby to recognize him and . shake his hand, an Army spokesperson told CNN. The details have emerged as soldiers who served with Bergdahl before he left his post in Afghanistan in 2009 revealed they have still not been contacted by military investigators. Questions: A new investigation has been launched to determine whether Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, pictured, deserted his post or went AWOL when he was reported missing in Afghanistan in 2009 . The former . soldiers have said that they believe the Army has failed to contact them . because it has already made up its mind about how Bergdahl ended up in . the hands of the Taliban. Members . of Bergdahl's unit - including the platoon leader - have previously . said they believe he deserted his post in June 2009 before seeking out . the enemy. But when he was swapped for five Guantanamo Bay detainees on May 31, President Obama gave him a hero's welcome and said the switch had been prompted by Bergdahl's poor health. Two-star general Major General Kenneth Dahl is now conducting a new investigation to determine whether Bergdahl did desert his post or went AWOL, which would suggest he intended to rejoin. But for former platoon leader Army Sgt. Evan Buetow, who left the Army in 2012, the answer is the same as it always was. 'I think it's very clear he . deserted his post,' Buetow told FoxNews.com. 'He thought about what he . was doing, he mailed some things home, he walked away and we have . witnesses who saw him walking away. Left out: Former platoon leader and Army Sgt. Evan Buetow, pictured in a previous Fox interview, said he believes the investigators have already made up their mind about what happened . 'And if you’re walking away in one of . the worst, most dangerous areas of Afghanistan without your weapon and . gear, I don’t believe you’re planning on coming back.' Former Army Sgt. Evan Buetow . Of the investigation, he added: 'They've already concluded what they want to be said. They know exactly what happened.' Former Army Sgt. Matt Vierkant also said he had not been contacted by Army officials, but said there are probably still sworn statements by the unit's members made after he left the post. 'I have confidence that they're going to do what’s right,' Vierkant said. 'I just feel this should've happened a long time ago and it should've been public.' Vierkant also believes that Bergdahl deserted his unit, which means he should be court martialed. Speaking out: Former Army Sgt. Matt Vierkant, pictured in a previous interview on CNN, also said he had not been contacted by Army officials and believes that Bergdahl deserted the unit . Bergdahl is . now receiving outpatient care at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio and . has ventured off base to the library, a supermarket, stores and . restaurants as part of his reintegration process. After his reintegration process, he will be assigned to an Army unit, according to the official. But if Army officials determine that he did desert, Buetow said the one-time 'good soldier' should be court-martialed, demoted and dishonorably discharged . Army officials told Fox that the investigating officer will usually review any materials that are provided but said they could not contact of the specific soldiers.

Bowe Bergdahl, smiling and posing with a former senior Taliban official in Afghanistan has been posted on Twitter. The undated photo, likely taken during Bergdahl’s five years in captivity, was posted on the social media site on Wednesday by @khorasan3, an account associated with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Along with the image were the words ‘#US Solider #Bergdahl with Martyr #Taliban Leader Badar'udin Haqqani(RH) S/O Shaykh Jalaludin Haqqani(HA).’ Scroll down for video . This photo of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, smiling and posing with a former senior Taliban official in Afghanistan, was posted on Twitter on Wednesday . The Middle East Research Institute has confirmed that the man in the photo is Taliban Commander Badruddin Haqqani, a senior member of the Haqqani network in Afghanistan. He was considered the organisation's day-to-day operations commander and was killed in a U.S. drone strike in August 2012. He was also the son of Haqqani head Jalaluddin Haqqani. The Haqqani Network is an Islamist insurgent group allied with the Taliban and using asymmetric warfare to fight against US-led NATO forces and the government of Afghanistan. Later @khorasan tweeted a series of messages in which they claimed Bergdahl was never tortured by the Taliban and only treated with kindness during his five years in captivity. The Middle East Research Institute has confirmed that the man in the photo is Taliban Commander Badruddin Haqqani, a senior member of the Haqqani network in Afghanistan . Former POW Bergdahl was controversially released by the Taliban in May in exchange for five Guantanamo Bay detainees. Since arriving back on American soil, he has been held at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio as part of his 'reintegration.' Last week it emerged that he is being allowed to wander off the Texas base and while under supervision he has visited a library, a supermarket, stores and fast-food chains near the camp. During the . trips, Bergdahl sometimes wears civilian clothing and other times . dresses in his military uniform, leading passersby to recognize him and . shake his hand, an Army spokesperson told CNN. The details have emerged as soldiers who served with Bergdahl before he left his post in Afghanistan in 2009 revealed they have still not been contacted by military investigators. Questions: A new investigation has been launched to determine whether Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, pictured, deserted his post or went AWOL when he was reported missing in Afghanistan in 2009 . The former . soldiers have said that they believe the Army has failed to contact them . because it has already made up its mind about how Bergdahl ended up in . the hands of the Taliban. Members . of Bergdahl's unit - including the platoon leader - have previously . said they believe he deserted his post in June 2009 before seeking out . the enemy. But when he was swapped for five Guantanamo Bay detainees on May 31, President Obama gave him a hero's welcome and said the switch had been prompted by Bergdahl's poor health. Two-star general Major General Kenneth Dahl is now conducting a new investigation to determine whether Bergdahl did desert his post or went AWOL, which would suggest he intended to rejoin. But for former platoon leader Army Sgt. Evan Buetow, who left the Army in 2012, the answer is the same as it always was. 'I think it's very clear he . deserted his post,' Buetow told FoxNews.com. 'He thought about what he . was doing, he mailed some things home, he walked away and we have . witnesses who saw him walking away. Left out: Former platoon leader and Army Sgt. Evan Buetow, pictured in a previous Fox interview, said he believes the investigators have already made up their mind about what happened . 'And if you’re walking away in one of . the worst, most dangerous areas of Afghanistan without your weapon and . gear, I don’t believe you’re planning on coming back.' Former Army Sgt. Evan Buetow . Of the investigation, he added: 'They've already concluded what they want to be said. They know exactly what happened.' Former Army Sgt. Matt Vierkant also said he had not been contacted by Army officials, but said there are probably still sworn statements by the unit's members made after he left the post. 'I have confidence that they're going to do what’s right,' Vierkant said. 'I just feel this should've happened a long time ago and it should've been public.' Vierkant also believes that Bergdahl deserted his unit, which means he should be court martialed. Speaking out: Former Army Sgt. Matt Vierkant, pictured in a previous interview on CNN, also said he had not been contacted by Army officials and believes that Bergdahl deserted the unit . Bergdahl is . now receiving outpatient care at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio and . has ventured off base to the library, a supermarket, stores and . restaurants as part of his reintegration process. After his reintegration process, he will be assigned to an Army unit, according to the official. But if Army officials determine that he did desert, Buetow said the one-time 'good soldier' should be court-martialed, demoted and dishonorably discharged . Army officials told Fox that the investigating officer will usually review any materials that are provided but said they could not contact of the specific soldiers.

By . Jonathan O'Callaghan . Consider two brothers who are identical twins. If one goes to space and the other does not, are they still genetically identical? That’s what Nasa will be aiming to discover in March 2015 in a ground-breaking experiment that will for the first time study the impact of space travel on the human body in real time, measuring any changes that occur between the two brothers as they happen. Living in space is known to have effects on the human body, including decreasing bone mass and causing muscle loss. Scroll down for video . Scott Kelly (left) will live aboard the ISS for a year while his twin brother Mark (right) stays on Earth. The two will be studied before, during and after the mission to see what effects space travel has on the human body . But, as of yet, we’re not quite sure what it does to the body on a smaller scale. For example, it could affect our DNA or alter how we age. To test out theories, Nasa is conducting an unprecedented twin experiment. In March 2015 Nasa astronaut Scott Kelly will join cosmonaut Mikhair Kornienko on a one-year mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The one-year mission is in itself interesting, as it will be the first time two humans have stayed aboard the ISS continuously for this period of time with missions to date lasting just six months. However, it is not the longevity of the mission that makes it interesting – while Scott is in space his identical twin brother Mark, a retired NASA astronaut, will remain on the ground as a ‘control’ in the experiment. Scott will spend a year orbiting Earth at 17,000 miles (27,000 km) per hour while Mark remains on Earth. Scott's one-year mission on the ISS with Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko will be the first long-duration stay on the station, with previous missions lasting only six months . ‘We will be taking samples and making measurements of the twins before, during and after the one-year mission,’ says Craig Kundrot of Nasa’s Human Research Program at the Johnson Space Center. For the first time Nasa will be able to monitor ‘two individuals who are genetically identical.’ Nasa recently announced the selection of ten research proposals to study the twins’ genetics, biochemistry, vision, cognition and more. ‘Each proposal is fascinating and could be a feature-length story of its own,’ says Kundrot. ‘We already known that the human immune system changes in space. ‘It’s not as strong as it is on the ground. ‘In one of the experiments, Mark and Scott will be given identical flu vaccines, and we will study how their immune systems react.’ Scott Kelly (left) is a current NASA astronaut with three previous missions under his belt, two aboard the Space Shuttle and one on the ISS. Mark Kelly (right), now retired, flew on four Space Shuttle missions . Scott Kelly's previous mission to the ISS was from 25 September 2010 to 16 March 2011. Here he's pictured in the Unity module playing with fruit in the weightless environment of the station . Mark Kelly peers out of the window of Space Shuttle Endeavour in May 2011. Around his neck is the ring of his wife, Gabrielle Giffords, a former US politician who was recovering from a gunshot would at the time after a failed assassination attempt . Another experiment will delve into whether humans age differently in orbit. On Earth, the loss of telomeres from human DNA has been linked to aging. This loss might be accelerated by cosmic rays. Comparing the twins’ telomeres will reveal if space travel is causing astronauts to age quicker. Among the other proposals will be experiments to monitor how vision is affected by space travel, while researchers will also delve into the psychological effects of being in space. The research, according to Nasa, could provide vital data with a view to one day sending astronauts to more distant destinations in space. The ‘twin paradox’ is a thought experiment proposed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th Century. It is derived from his theory of special relativity. Einstein suggests that the faster you travel, the slower you move through time. If one twin travelled in a spaceship near the speed of light, they would return home considerably younger than their sibling under laws of special relativity. Known as ‘time dilation,’ this was proven in 1971 with the Hafele-Keating experiment. Atomic clocks were set to the same time and then sent in different directions around the world in separate planes. The clocks were found to have ticked differently, proving special relativity.

Washington (CNN) -- A top-secret court has renewed the authority of U.S. national security officials to collect telephone data as part of an anti-terror surveillance program that was exposed by intelligence leaker Edward Snowden. In an unprecedented disclosure, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said it had decided to declassify and announce the program renewal, which occurs periodically but is never publicized. Snowden leaked classified information about the National Security Agency program to media outlets last month and then fled the country. He has been charged with espionage and remains in diplomatic limbo at the Moscow airport after seeking temporary asylum. His detailing of the surveillance effort that required communications giant Verizon to turn over caller information triggered outrage from civil libertarians, certain members of Congress and privacy groups concerned with the sweeping nature of the telephone snooping and a companion effort that monitors e-mails. Silicon Valley to feds: Disclose your data requests . Officials have said metadata on overseas-related communications does not include content but provides information about numbers dialed and received as well as length, date and time of calls. President Barack Obama says the government is not listening in on calls, and other officials have said said the massive collection program has helped to detect terror plots. The national intelligence office did not say when the periodic renewal order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was handed down, but NSA legal authority under the Patriot Act to collect telephone metadata surveillance was due to expire on Friday. The new transparency appears to be an effort by the Obama administration to be more forthcoming about the program, the administration of which was sharply criticized this week by members of the House Judiciary Committee. Opinion: Your biggest secrets are up for grabs . One influential Republican member of the panel, troubled by the sweeping nature of how the telephone surveillance had been carried out, questioned whether Congress would act when the surveillance program comes up for renewal in 2015. Following the Snowden leaks, certain information about telephone collection was declassified "in order to provide the public with a more thorough and balanced understanding of the program," a statement from the national intelligence office said. Privacy? Forget it, we're all celebrities online now . "Consistent with his prior declassification decision and in light of the significant and continuing public interest" in the matter, the office decided to declassify and disclose publicly that it had filed an application to renew telephone metadata collection "in bulk" and that the court "renewed that authority." "The administration is undertaking a careful and thorough review of whether and to what extent additional information or documents pertaining to this program may be declassified, consistent with the protection of national security," the statement said. Although Verizon was singled out in the Snowden leak on telephone surveillance, it is believed that the government obtains similar orders for other telecommunications providers. All must be periodically renewed by the FISA court. No communications companies were mentioned in the intelligence office statement on Friday.

(CNN) -- Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has warned of the dangers of working in a Formula One pit lane after a wheel from one of the team's cars came loose and struck a cameraman. Paul Allen, who was working for Formula One Management at Sunday's German Grand Prix, was hospitalized with a broken collarbone and cracked ribs. The incident occurred when Red Bull's Australian driver Mark Webber came in for a pit stop on lap nine of the race at the Nurburgring Circuit. The right rear tire of Webber's car was not fitted properly and came off as he pulled away from the garage, with the wheel hitting Allen, who was facing in the opposite direction. "The most important thing today is that the cameraman who got struck by the tire does not appear to have suffered any life-threatening injuries," Horner told the sport's official website. "It's a timely reminder that working in the pit lane is dangerous. Everyone reacted incredibly quickly and the most important thing is to hear that he seems to be fundamentally OK. "We need to understand what went wrong in that first pit stop for Mark, but as I said, our main concern today is knowing that the cameraman is OK." CNN's F1 interactive Nurburgring Circuit . Force India were also fined €5,000 ($6,400) after driver Paul Di Resta pulled out into the path of Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne when exiting the pit lane. On the track it was a good day for Red Bull, with Sebastian Vettel extending his lead in the world championship by taking the checkered flag at his home grand prix for the first time in his career. Triple world champion Vettel, bidding to win a fourth successive drivers' title, is now 34 points clear of second-place Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso. Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen was hot on the heels of Vettel in the closing stages, but the German hung on for his fourth race win of the year. "It was a tough race; it was one of the toughest for a long time," said the 26-year-old Vettel. "I'm happy the race wasn't two or three laps longer, as Kimi was a bit quicker towards the end. "I'm very happy that it worked out and it's very special. The team worked really hard to give me the chance to win this weekend and we got it."

Sometimes you can try and disguise but you can't hide, as this new mugshot shows. Codi James Antoniello, 19, from Holland Township in Michigan was chased by police last Thursday after allegedly attacking a 21-year-old man with a pickax and baseball bat. In a bid to escape, he quickly tried to alter his appearance by shaving his head. However, he was caught mid-transformation and a booking photo shows him with a large bald strip running through his brown locks. In a bid to escape arrest Codi James Antoniello, 19, from Holland Township in Michigan quickly tried to alter his appearance by shaving his head . Antoniello was arraigned Friday on charges of felonious assault and first-degree home invasion along with a 16-year-old accomplice. A spokesperson from the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office told Wood TV the two teenagers broke into a man's home around 2:30am last Wednesday and bludgeoned him.

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce passed up the opportunity to sign Swansea forward Wilfried Bony - with Andy Carroll brought in instead. Allardyce revealed he had been scouting Bony when the Ivory Coast international was in prolific form at Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem in 2013 but a move never materialised as he was able to strike a deal with Liverpool to sign Carroll on a permanent basis instead. Bony completed a move to the Swans and has been in scintillating form, scoring more Premier League goals in the calender year than any other player. West Ham manager Sam Allardyce said the club turned down the chance to sign Wilfried Bony (above) Allardyce said: 'We signed Andy Carroll and it was one or the other. 'It couldn't be both and we ended up getting a deal done with Andy so our interest (in Bony) ended because we couldn't do both. We didn't have enough money in the budget that year. 'We spent big money on Andy and the rest had to be proportioned out for the considerable amount of other players we needed at the time.' While Bony has been drawing plaudits for his performances in Garry Monk's side, Carroll is still working his way back to full fitness after suffering the second long-term injury since his loan switch from Anfield was made permanent. West Ham signed Carroll from Liverpool on loan in 2012-13 and then made the deal permanent in the summer . Carroll has suffered a number of injury setbacks during his time at Upton Park . The duo are likely to lead the line for their respective sides when Swansea and West Ham meet at Upton Park on Sunday and Allardyce admits preventing Bony adding to his 18 league goals in 2014 will be tough. 'I think it is very difficult to stop him,' he added. 'In the main it'll be about not only the defenders but the team as a whole stopping the supply. If you work hard on shutting down their midfield and wide areas and limit the supply then that is the best way forward but that won't happen all the time. Bony's goal against Crystal Palace on Saturday was his 18th in the Premier League in 2014 . Carroll has only scored twice for West Ham since making his move permanent in the summer of 2013 . 'When I say we have to get tight on him, we have to be aware of him without getting too tight because he is very strong and very skilful and to knock him off the ball is not an easy task. 'He seems to be able to roll a lot of defenders and hit the ball in the same movement. He is a threat in the air and it will be very interesting for our lads to compete against someone in such good goalscoring form and hopefully on the day we can keep him quiet.' Bony may have been one striker to pass Allardyce by but the Hammers have their own prolific forward back for this weekend. Summer signing Diafra Sakho, who has scored six goals in eight league appearances so far, has recovered from a back injury and should be involved. Allardyce's West Ham side are flying high in fifth place in the Barclays Premier League . Fellow new recruit Enner Valencia could also start his first game after working his way back to fitness and, along with Carroll and his other forwards, Allardyce is pleased with the wealth of talent he has in attacking areas. 'We're looking forward to having Diafra back, I'm not sure he's ready to start a match yet,' he added. 'Having Enner back, Andy getting more and more match fitness; Carlton Cole and Mauro Zarate, our attacking options are the best we have ever had. 'There are a number of combinations we can now play to break down the opposition. It was nice to score two goals to come from behind at West Brom and it has put us all in a very confident mood having won two games in a short period of time. 'Game three coming up on Sunday is now a big test for the lads, can we make it a third one in the space of eight days? For us it is trying to maintain our results record and try and get more points on the board. If we can get three, what a great week that would be.'
Sam Allardyce admitted he was interested in signing Wilfried Bony . West Ham boss said club couldn't afford deal after signing Andy Carroll . Swansea face West Ham on Sunday in Barclays Premier League . Bony is the top scorer in the Premier League in 2014 .

(CNN) -- For one day a year, a desert outpost in the Persian Gulf becomes the center of the horse-racing universe. The Dubai World Cup is the richest horse race on the planet and features the world's finest thoroughbreds. Hosted at the futuristic Meydan Racecourse every March, upwards of 60,000 people pack the stands, have a flutter and cheer on the action below. The venue is now set to feature at the heart of a much bigger project in the lead up to the World Expo which will take place in the emirate in 2020. The plan is to build a high-end, mini-city around Meydan, stretching all the way to Dubai's nearby financial district and the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. Stage one of this complex process has seen the racecourse transformed into a year-round destination. First came the grandstand, a statement construction over one kilometer long that opened in 2010. The five-star Meydan Hotel was completed in the same year. Then followed an IMAX cinema, school, tennis center, school and golf course. "(In) 2005 I came here ... there was no thought of Meydan or developments. It was just horse racing," said former CEO of Dubai Racing Club, Frank Gabriel. "All of a sudden within six months we were building a master plan of a race track and a city and the next thing you know we never stopped moving." With each addition, Meydan's purpose has extended beyond its equestrian origins. Stage two is by far the most ambitious element of the project and will feature the development of 1,500 villas over 16 million square meters (172 million sq ft). The vast housing site -- named Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum City after the ruler of Dubai -- will include parks, lagoons, waterways, jogging tracks, beaches and woodlands. The development aims to take the thoroughbred lifestyle Meydan seeks to embody and recreate it on a massive scale. "Horse racing and equestrian is the heart and soul of Meydan," said Saeed Al Tayer, chairman of Meydan Group. "That will always be in our pedigree. But developing a city ... it puts us on the global map." Four to eight bedroom villas here will cost $6,200 per square meter ($579 per sq ft), that's more 40% above the Dubai average according to real estate consultancy CBRE. The next race at Meydan, it seems, will be finding the well-to-do residents and investors willing to pay these higher rates for the luxury mini-city experience.

Surfing was virtually non-existent in Iran when Easkey Britton first traveled to the 'ultra-conservative' country in 2010. The Irish surfer expected to face anger and disapproval in the Muslim nation where televising female sports is forbidden. Just last year, a woman was jailed simply for watching a men's volleyball match. But the 29-year-old was shocked to discover a welcoming country as eager to learn the sport as she was to teach them. Overwhelmed by the reaction she returned three years later with filmmaker Marion Poizeau and two female Iranian athletes - professional snowboarder Mona Seraji and diver Shahla Yasini. Marion's documentary 'Into the Sea' charts their incredible journey to the shores of Baluchistan, an area considered so deadly 'even Iranians don't go there'. Scroll down for video . First lesson: Easkey Britton (centre) teaches professional snowboarder Mona Seraji (left) and diver Shahla Yasini (right) how to surf . Acceptance: Men, women and children gathered on Baluchistan's beach to watch Easkey (centre) surf . Letting go: The director of 'Into the Sea' Marion Poizeau told MailOnline: 'A lot of them (children) were very shy at first, but by the time we got into the water, that was gone' Baby steps: Professional surfer Easkey (right) believes young Baluchi girls like this 'are no longer on the sidelines' Making waves: One of Easkey's students Shahla Yasini (pictures) prepares for another ride in Baluchistan . Eager to learn: Easkey (right) teaches a group of young Baluchi boys about surfing as professional snowboarder Mona (left) translates . Champion: Easkey Britton (pictured) was introduced to surfing by her father at the tender age of four and won the Irish National Surfing Championships four consecutive times by 2008 . Marion told MailOnline: 'In Tehran, people were saying you're crazy to go to Baluchistan because it's considered a very dangerous place. 'So when I screened my film in the capital, people were saying we didn't know you could go to Baluchistan and come back alive.' Despite its fearsome reputation as a site of brutal secular fighting between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, there is little alternative to the region's 60-mile stretch of sand and five foot waves. For the country's surf-obsessed, it is becoming a necessary pilgrimage. A large crowd began to gather during Mona and Shahla's first lesson under Easkey's expert guidance. They predicted some opposition in the remote section of a largely male-dominated country, but the locals in Chabahar were simply intrigued. Women are allowed to wear bathing suits in Iran's female-only swimming pools and baths, but traditional head-coverings are mandatory on public beaches where men are present. Hundreds stormed the beach to watch the three women riding the waves in their wet-suits and hijabs. And soon the Baluchi locals were begging to take part themselves. The growth of the sport means 'Baluchi girls and women are no longer on the sidelines' according to Easkey, a five-time national champion in her native Ireland. She added: 'Fathers are asking me to take their daughters surfing. 'What is most inspiring is the enthusiasm and vision of young people here, with the young women playing an important change-making role, leading the way in a new frontier sport, writing a new narrative full of possibility despite being ignored by the world outside and limited by the constraints of their own country.' Parting gift: Easkey (pictured) presented her surfboard to local lawmaker Yaqoub Jadgal, who said: 'It (sport) is not just for men, women can do sports too with the hijab and female instructors' Causing a stir: Hundreds of local Baluchi people gathered for a surfing lesson from Easkey Britton . Leading the way: Easkey Britton (pictured) said: 'What is most inspiring is the enthusiasm and vision of young people here' Going pro: Diver Shahla Yasini rides a wave on the beach in Baluchistan, considered one of the most dangerous places in Iran . Iranian hospitality: Easkey Britton (top right) and her two students Mona Seraji (centre) and diver Shahla Yasini (left) were invited to dine with a local Baluchi family . But her first surf with Mona and Shahla caused quite a stir and when the village elders and a 'powerful' member of parliament requested to meet them Easkey expected the worst. She was again overwhelmed by the tolerance shown by Yaqoub Jadgal, who said: 'Islam recommends sports, which are beneficial both physically and spiritually. It is not just for men, women can do sports too with the hijab and female instructors. 'We will ask female instructors to teach women this sport so they can benefit from this art.' The 'thumbs up' from the community's senior figures mirrored the government's acceptance when they allowed for Marion's film to be screened at the Tehran Film Festival last year. It had such a wide-reaching impact she's now involved in a bid to launch the country's first female surfing federation. She said: 'Hopefully we can organise an international event in the future and convince more Iranians to come with us... but we don't know when it's going to happen because the administration is tricky.' The sport's growing popularity has surprised Easkey, who 'never could have imagined' a religiously devout nation could adopt such a progressive sport into their hearts. Big hit: Marion's film 'Into the Sea' (pictured) was screened at the Tehran Documentary Festival last year . Change: The film was received wonderfully by critics after being screened in a country where even televising female sports is forbidden . She says during 'Into the Sea': 'I came here three years ago and there was nobody surfing and now look at it. More and more people are on the beach every day - boys, girls, everyone joining in. 'People say surfing is a selfish pursuit, it becomes kind of like an addiction and all you care about is finding the next perfect wave, but I really don't believe that anymore. 'I think the most powerful thing about surfing is being able to share that passion and connecting people. This is unbelievable.' Marion added: 'It was very exciting the last day, half the village came to watch the girls surf and the kids were very enthusiastic. 'A lot of them were very shy at first, but by the time we got into the water, that was gone. 'It really breaks down the barriers when we go into the water, it's totally different from the beach. It makes people forget about the rules.' Inspired by their own success, Easkey and Marion also set up the non-profit organisationWaves of Freedom. In its own words, the charity 'uses surfing as a medium for empowerment, transforming the most vulnerable and marginalised members of society, especially women and girls'. Through their first project Surf Seeds, they are trying to establish surfing in Baluchistan through the donation of equipment, formal lessons and workshops on how to build and create surfboards. The two women also created the 'We Surf in Iran' group within the local community in Baluchistan. Now, Iranians travel from all over the country to get lessons in the region they were once afraid of.

The growth of the sport means 'Baluchi girls and women are no longer on the sidelines' according to Easkey, a five-time national champion in her native Ireland. She added: 'Fathers are asking me to take their daughters surfing. 'What is most inspiring is the enthusiasm and vision of young people here, with the young women playing an important change-making role, leading the way in a new frontier sport, writing a new narrative full of possibility despite being ignored by the world outside and limited by the constraints of their own country.' Parting gift: Easkey (pictured) presented her surfboard to local lawmaker Yaqoub Jadgal, who said: 'It (sport) is not just for men, women can do sports too with the hijab and female instructors' Causing a stir: Hundreds of local Baluchi people gathered for a surfing lesson from Easkey Britton . Leading the way: Easkey Britton (pictured) said: 'What is most inspiring is the enthusiasm and vision of young people here' Going pro: Diver Shahla Yasini rides a wave on the beach in Baluchistan, considered one of the most dangerous places in Iran . Iranian hospitality: Easkey Britton (top right) and her two students Mona Seraji (centre) and diver Shahla Yasini (left) were invited to dine with a local Baluchi family . But her first surf with Mona and Shahla caused quite a stir and when the village elders and a 'powerful' member of parliament requested to meet them Easkey expected the worst. She was again overwhelmed by the tolerance shown by Yaqoub Jadgal, who said: 'Islam recommends sports, which are beneficial both physically and spiritually. It is not just for men, women can do sports too with the hijab and female instructors. 'We will ask female instructors to teach women this sport so they can benefit from this art.' The 'thumbs up' from the community's senior figures mirrored the government's acceptance when they allowed for Marion's film to be screened at the Tehran Film Festival last year. It had such a wide-reaching impact she's now involved in a bid to launch the country's first female surfing federation. She said: 'Hopefully we can organise an international event in the future and convince more Iranians to come with us... but we don't know when it's going to happen because the administration is tricky.' The sport's growing popularity has surprised Easkey, who 'never could have imagined' a religiously devout nation could adopt such a progressive sport into their hearts. Big hit: Marion's film 'Into the Sea' (pictured) was screened at the Tehran Documentary Festival last year . Change: The film was received wonderfully by critics after being screened in a country where even televising female sports is forbidden . She says during 'Into the Sea': 'I came here three years ago and there was nobody surfing and now look at it. More and more people are on the beach every day - boys, girls, everyone joining in. 'People say surfing is a selfish pursuit, it becomes kind of like an addiction and all you care about is finding the next perfect wave, but I really don't believe that anymore. 'I think the most powerful thing about surfing is being able to share that passion and connecting people. This is unbelievable.' Marion added: 'It was very exciting the last day, half the village came to watch the girls surf and the kids were very enthusiastic. 'A lot of them were very shy at first, but by the time we got into the water, that was gone. 'It really breaks down the barriers when we go into the water, it's totally different from the beach. It makes people forget about the rules.' Inspired by their own success, Easkey and Marion also set up the non-profit organisationWaves of Freedom. In its own words, the charity 'uses surfing as a medium for empowerment, transforming the most vulnerable and marginalised members of society, especially women and girls'. Through their first project Surf Seeds, they are trying to establish surfing in Baluchistan through the donation of equipment, formal lessons and workshops on how to build and create surfboards. The two women also created the 'We Surf in Iran' group within the local community in Baluchistan. Now, Iranians travel from all over the country to get lessons in the region they were once afraid of.

(CNN) -- Almost three years ago Dell launched a phone called the Streak, an Android-based handset with a 5-inch display that was marketed more as a tablet with phone capabilities than the other way around. Critics blasted the device for being too large. Most smartphones at the time were still 3.5 to 4 inches, after all. That was the norm. We didn't see many more mobile phones from Dell after its blunder with the Streak. Now let's jump to the present. Last Thursday, Samsung introduced its new flagship phone, the Galaxy S IV. It also has a 5-inch screen, like the Dell Streak. But this time no one complained. In fact, the reaction was quite the opposite. Critics have been praising the Galaxy S IV's gorgeous display, which is slightly larger than its predecessor. And suddenly the iPhone, which was once the standard for all other smartphones to copy, looks puny next to Samsung's new phone. How'd we get here? In an effort to differentiate themselves from the dominant iPhone, manufacturers that relied on Android to run their mobile devices -- Samsung, LG, HTC, Motorola, and others -- began moving towards bigger and bigger screens. Android was still in its infancy, and it didn't have the smoothness, app selection, and robust feature set that Apple's iOS did. If an Android phone wanted to stand out, it had to offer what the iPhone couldn't on the hardware side. That meant removable batteries, expandable storage, and larger screens. In a few short years the trend snowballed to the point where no one scoffs anymore when a manufacturer launches a phone with a giant screen. In fact, there are plenty of phones with screens that are dangerously close in size to the growing breed of smaller tablets such as the Kindle Fire, Nexus 7 and iPad Mini. And people keep buying them. I overheard one Samsung exec put it this way when recently asked if the company thinks phones are getting too big: "We'll find out at some point, but we haven't found out yet." Larger screens appeal to the increasing number of people who use their phones to watch video and play graphics-rich games. In other words, don't expect your next phone to be any smaller than the one in your pocket now. These devices are only going to get larger until they reach a point where they're so big that consumers start turning their noses at them. Some companies are already pushing the limit. At the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona last month, a handful of companies released new phones in the seven and eight-inch ranges. Samsung introduced its new iPad mini competitor, the Galaxy Note 8.0. But unlike the iPad, the Note 8.0 can make phone calls. Asus also has a seven-inch Android phone that it calls the FonePad. Apple did increase the screen size of the iPhone 5 by half an inch over previous models, but it hasn't embraced the big-screen trend yet, and clearly doesn't think it needs to for now. While the company never gives details on what it's working on, its public statements don't offer too much hope that a larger iPhone will arrive anytime soon. During Apple's earnings call in January, CEO Tim Cook said Apple keeps its phone sizes relatively small because it believes that is the perfect form factor for most people. "It also provides a larger screen without sacrificing one-handed use," Cook said, referring to the 4-inch display on the iPhone 5.. "We put a lot of thought into screen sizes and we think we picked the right one." Still, Apple's decision to boost the iPhone's size is a tacit admission that plenty of people are clamoring for a bigger phone. There have been rumors that a larger iPhone could hit the market as early as this summer, but it's more likely you'll have to wait until next year at the earliest. That's not to say Apple is doomed if it doesn't get into the so-called phablet business. Apple is clearly doing just fine. But it does suggest that if and when Cook & Co. do release a bigger phone, they will clearly find a receptive market. Copyright © 2011 Business Insider.
With the Samsung Galaxy S IV, phones with 5-inch screens are becoming common . It's a change from three years ago, when the 5-inch Dell Streak flopped . The iPhone 5 has a 4-inch screen. Will a larger iPhone be next? Larger screens appeal to people who use phones to watch video and play games .

By . John Hall . Victim: Keith Murrain is believed to have been killed within hours of arriving in Jamaica . A prominent British businessman who was kidnapped shortly after arriving in Jamaica has been found dead with his throat slit. The body of Keith Murrain, 54, was discovered in a shallow grave in a remote sugarcane field outside Spanish Town, which has been dubbed the murder capital of Jamaica. The Birmingham-based businessman arrived on the island on Friday but was abducted and bundled into a waiting vehicle as he left Kingston's Norman Manley Airport. Mr Murrain, who lived in Edgbaston, is believed to have been killed within hours of being kidnapped. The father-of-three's body was found in a sugarcane field outside Spanish Town less than 24 hours later. Mr Murrain's close friend Howard Reid, a Birmingham barrister, said: 'Whoever did this are scum, filth, savages and I hate them. I curse them, I really, really do.' ''The savagery, the lack of humanity, the coldness... To look a man in the eye and cut his throat. I really do hate them,' he added. Mr Murrain was travelling away from the capital Kingston's Norman Manley Airport in a hire car when he was abducted and bundled into a waiting vehicle. It was unclear whether he was robbed before he was killed. Mr Murrain had built a thriving business exporting engineering parts to Jamaica and Trinidad. He was a regular visitor to the island, where he reportedly had a home in the gated Caribbean Estates Community, said to boast 'Fort Knox-esque security'. Reports from the island said police were following up several leads over the killing, but his family in Aston said they could not understand why he had been murdered. Mr Murrain's mother Josephine, along with his three brothers and two sisters, are being comforted by West Midlands Police liaison officers. Mourning: Keith Murrain's friends and family are pictured at home after his murder. From left to right are family friend and barrister Howard Reid, brother Samuel, sister Jenifer, mother Josephine and brother Niney . Location: Keith Murrain's body was discovered in a shallow grave in a sugarcane field near Spanish Town (pictured) which has been dubbed the murder capital of Jamaica . One sister, Jenifer Murrain, said: 'We, as a family, want justice. Why kill him? Why not just rob him? I want the people who did this to hang'. 'What happened to Keith will have a major impact on people doing business or going on holiday to Jamaica,' she added. Everyone knew Keith and everyone looked up to him. He was the life and soul of the party. When his body is brought back, it will be the biggest funeral Birmingham has ever seen,' she went on to say. Mr Murrain's mother, originally from the Caribbean island of Montserrat, is now trying to fly to Jamaica with her son's former partner. She has been in contact with the British High Commission in Kingston, which has pledged to provide police protection during her time in the Caribbean. Anger and confusion: Keith Murrain's sister Jennifer (pictured left, alongside her mother Josephine) said: ''We, as a family, want justice. Why kill him? Why not just rob him? I want the people who did this to hang' In 2005, Jamaica - which retains the death penalty - had the world's highest murder rate, with 1,674 killings: a staggering 58 per 100,000 people. In 2011, the island, with a population of 2.7million, endured 1,124 murders, 1,322 shootings, 738 rapes and 3,033 robberies, the US Bureau of Diplomatic Security revealed. Following the killing, a senior officer in Jamaica's police force urged those flying back to the island to be careful who they inform of their journey.

(CNN) -- For the millions of us who sit at desks all day, Carissa Moore's description of her workplace might sound a little cruel. "The water is my office and yeah, I get to spend almost every day in the ocean, and that's tremendous," Moore told CNN's Human to Hero series. A place that conjures up an image of air-conditioned confinement to most means nothing but fresh air and freedom to the Hawaiian surfer. "I just love riding a wave. I love getting up early in the morning and driving down to the beach and paddling out and every time I go out, I'm looking for that perfect wave," she explains. "When you're out there and you find that one that you want to go for, it's just like everything else in the world disappears. "It's just you and the ocean and just spontaneity and an expression of yourself. There's not really any thinking involved, it's just doing." Admittedly, it may not be the most original statement ever uttered by a surfer, but Moore's career so far has been anything but derivative. Carving up the field . The 22-year-old has taken the surfing world by storm in recent years, winning the women's world championship twice in the last four seasons. Her first world crown was not only a personal triumph but a significant landmark for the sport as she clinched the title at the age of 18 to become the youngest-ever female world champion. "My first world title in 2011 was a dream come true. I mean, I dreamed of it my entire life and so for it to finally pay off was the best thing ever," she says. "I never really thought of myself being the youngest person. I still don't. I really don't look back and think, 'Oh! that was such an accomplishment!' I think it was more just like, 'Yeah, I won a world title and that really meant something.' In a way it was nothing more than surfing aficionados had expected given her incredible progression as a junior. Moore was born in Honolulu, on Hawaii's third biggest island, Oahu -- home to some of the world's most hallowed surf. "Not only are the people so sweet, amazing and welcoming -- there's so much "aloha" -- but the waves are perfect for growing up as a surfer," she says. Oahu's 110 miles of coastline is dotted with spectacular surfing spots from the vertiginous waves of Waimea Bay on the north shore to Waikiki Beach. It was here, in the more benign waters in the south of the island, that Moore's father introduced her to the sport. "My dad actually was a very serious water man. He swam, he paddleboard raced, he did all sorts of things in the water," she says. "He was the first one who introduced me to surfing and pushed me into my first wave when I was about four or five years old at Waikiki Beach. It wasn't too serious in the beginning -- it was just us enjoying the ocean together." Making waves . By the time she was 10, Moore was an experienced competitor and already dreaming big. "I remember telling my dad: 'Hey, you know, I think I want to be the best that I can be in this sport. I want to see how far I can go,'" she recalls. In 2004, aged 11, Moore won the first of a record 11 national titles in events organized by the National Scholastic Surfing Association, the premier amateur circuit in the U.S. It was form that she carried into the professional ranks in 2010 when she finished third in her first full season on the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) women's world championship tour, earning her the Rookie of the Year award. A year later she made history, winning the women's world tour before a second title followed in 2013 as she won half of the season's eight events. Success isn't just down to what you do on the board, you also need to pick your waves with care. "It definitely takes years of being in the water. Sometimes when you're sitting out in the ocean, you may not see a wave coming in, you just feel it and you move in the right direction and seconds later, there's the wave. "A good wave is one that has a nice wall (that) will allow for multiple turns and has a nice steepness to it. It's tricky to describe." Moore's surfing style has led to comparisons with her male counterparts and on occasions she has been granted entry to men's events. In 2011, she was the first woman to be offered a wild card entry to the men's Triple Crown of Surfing in Hawaii.

Voters in just a handful of constituencies could determine whether David Cameron or Ed Miliband is prime minister after the most unpredictable general election in decades, polls of marginal seats suggest. A new analysis of 114 seats surveyed individually by former Tory deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft suggests there is ‘no consistent pattern’ that will allow pollsters to predict the outcome in May with any confidence. ‘It is possible that a handful of seats could decide whether Her Majesty gives the first shot at forming a government to David Cameron or Ed Miliband. The results in the marginals will matter more than ever,’ the peer said. David Cameron's chances of staying in Number 10 after the next election rests on just a handful of constituencies . Former Tory deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft said the result of the next election would could down to how a number of marginals 'more than ever' before . His findings, based on constituency polls conducted over the last eight months, have turned up a series of surprising results. Some northern Tory MPs appear to have a better prospect of holding on than some of their southern colleagues, despite the assumption that their party is doing worse in the North. A number of Liberal Democrats are so far defying the national tide with swings in their favour, while others are headed for defeat. Some Labour and Conservative seats are vulnerable to Ukip, even though its vote share was only in single figures in them five years ago. Labour’s chances in May’s election, meanwhile, could be fatally undermined by the surge of the SNP in Scotland, now the subject of more detailed polling commissioned by Lord Ashcroft. ‘The coalition Government, the collapse in national support for the third party, the rise of a fourth, and shifting allegiances in Scotland – combined with the accelerating erosion of tribal loyalties that has continued for three decades or more – have made election predictions a more than usually hazardous business,’ he said. ‘Each survey shows the state of play in a given seat at a given point in time: voters who are so inclined will be able to use the snapshot of their constituency to help them decide where to place their cross. ‘Tactical voters can be better informed than ever before. Voters in Sheffield Hallam, for example, will note that Labour look best placed to unseat Nick Clegg in a constituency that the Lib Dems have traditionally – if not, recently, very closely – contested with the Conservatives. ‘Conservatives in both Dudley North and Great Grimsby will see that although their party came second by less than a thousand votes last time round, Ukip now appear to offer the best chance of unseating Labour. ‘Lib Dems considering Labour in North Cornwall will know their seat is on a knife edge, and that their switch would make a Tory gain more likely. ‘Labour voters in Thanet South who do not wish Nigel Farage to represent them in Parliament will observe, however reluctantly, that to keep him out they will have to vote Conservative.’ David Cameron and Ed Miliband need 326 MPs to form a Commons majority. The Conservatives are currently 23 short. Labour need another 69 MPs to form an overall majority. The two parties key target seats are listed above . The latest national poll by YouGov put Labour and the Conservatives neck and neck, on 33 per cent each.

Heres the context you need to read and summary.Voters in just a handful of constituencies could determine whether David Cameron or Ed Miliband is prime minister after the most unpredictable general election in decades, polls of marginal seats suggest. A new analysis of 114 seats surveyed individually by former Tory deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft suggests there is ‘no consistent pattern’ that will allow pollsters to predict the outcome in May with any confidence. ‘It is possible that a handful of seats could decide whether Her Majesty gives the first shot at forming a government to David Cameron or Ed Miliband. The results in the marginals will matter more than ever,’ the peer said. David Cameron's chances of staying in Number 10 after the next election rests on just a handful of constituencies . Former Tory deputy chairman Lord Ashcroft said the result of the next election would could down to how a number of marginals 'more than ever' before . His findings, based on constituency polls conducted over the last eight months, have turned up a series of surprising results. Some northern Tory MPs appear to have a better prospect of holding on than some of their southern colleagues, despite the assumption that their party is doing worse in the North. A number of Liberal Democrats are so far defying the national tide with swings in their favour, while others are headed for defeat. Some Labour and Conservative seats are vulnerable to Ukip, even though its vote share was only in single figures in them five years ago. Labour’s chances in May’s election, meanwhile, could be fatally undermined by the surge of the SNP in Scotland, now the subject of more detailed polling commissioned by Lord Ashcroft. ‘The coalition Government, the collapse in national support for the third party, the rise of a fourth, and shifting allegiances in Scotland – combined with the accelerating erosion of tribal loyalties that has continued for three decades or more – have made election predictions a more than usually hazardous business,’ he said. ‘Each survey shows the state of play in a given seat at a given point in time: voters who are so inclined will be able to use the snapshot of their constituency to help them decide where to place their cross. ‘Tactical voters can be better informed than ever before. Voters in Sheffield Hallam, for example, will note that Labour look best placed to unseat Nick Clegg in a constituency that the Lib Dems have traditionally – if not, recently, very closely – contested with the Conservatives. ‘Conservatives in both Dudley North and Great Grimsby will see that although their party came second by less than a thousand votes last time round, Ukip now appear to offer the best chance of unseating Labour. ‘Lib Dems considering Labour in North Cornwall will know their seat is on a knife edge, and that their switch would make a Tory gain more likely. ‘Labour voters in Thanet South who do not wish Nigel Farage to represent them in Parliament will observe, however reluctantly, that to keep him out they will have to vote Conservative.’ David Cameron and Ed Miliband need 326 MPs to form a Commons majority. The Conservatives are currently 23 short. Labour need another 69 MPs to form an overall majority. The two parties key target seats are listed above . The latest national poll by YouGov put Labour and the Conservatives neck and neck, on 33 per cent each. Ukip is on 13 per cent, the Greens on eight and the Lib Dems in a miserable fifth position, with seven per cent. Ukip’s performance is its worst with YouGov for three months, despite the pollster prompting respondents by naming the party in its options for the first time.

Criminals are using the online small ads site Gumtree, which allows people to sell everything from cars to mobile phones and even pets, to steal millions of pounds from innocent consumers. Citizens Advice is issuing a warning today after revealing that one in six of the consumer problems it has investigated associated with Gumtree was a scam or potential scam. Police are receiving around 250 crime and fraud allegations a week that are connected to the site, some of which involve serious thefts and assault. Criminals are using the online small ads site Gumtree, which allows people to sell everything from cars to mobile phones and even pets, to steal millions of pounds from innocent consumers . And figures from the National Fraud Intelligence Bureaux reveal online shopping and auction scams were the most common fraud reported in 2013, costing UK consumers £63.6 million. Gumtree is particularly vulnerable because the website does not vet or take identification details from its users, which means it can be used time and again by criminals who are difficult to trace. The website is owned by eBay, which does have ID checking but is also vulnerable to criminal scams, according to research by Citizens Advice. It said one in ten problems it has looked at associated with eBay was a scam or potential scam. The watchdog gave the example of a flat hunter who saw a property advertised on Gumtree and handed over £1,650 to the person he thought was the landlord. However, when he tried to move in, someone else was already living there. In another case a man bought a car on eBay for £360 and spent another £700 on repairs, however it was then repossessed because the previous owner had failed to pay off an outstanding loan. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg and there is evidence from a large and growing number of court cases and police reports that criminals use Gumtree to: . Citizens Advice looked at problems reported to its offices in the six months to the end of March which concerned products or services bought through Gumtree and eBay. There were 649 cases related to Gumtree and 3,711 to eBay. Victims of online crime are invited to report the case to Action Fraud, which collects the details and passes some of them on to local police forces. However, this regime has fallen into disrepute because many victims, some of whom have lost huge sums, are never contacted by the police. The chief executive of Citizens Advice, Gillian Guy, said: ‘Online marketplaces are at risk of becoming a hotbed for scams. ‘These sites are an important service for buyers and sellers, but con artists are profiting from them too.  Scammers are swindling people out of out of hundreds or thousands of pounds by posting false products and services online. ‘Con artists are preying on those still trying to get back on their feet from the recession. Fake jobs and phoney homes are taking people’s deposits that they strived and saved so long for. ‘Businesses need to get savvy to these spurious practices and take steps to stop consumers falling foul of scams. Gumtree is particularly vulnerable because the website does not vet or take identification details from its users, which means it can be used time and again by criminals who are difficult to trace . ‘It’s time for online marketplaces to up their game and do more to protect their customers from dodgy dealings by strongly policing their websites, carrying out spot checks and immediately removing any risky ads.’ Gumtree said: ‘We do everything in our power to keep scammers off our site and encourage anyone that has fallen for a scam, to report it to us and the police. ‘Gumtree is an open platform which provides a free and easy way to buy and sell, meaning we do not track user information. We are always looking at new ways to improve customer safety such as improving methods of communication between us and our customers. ‘We encourage all our users to adhere to our safety tips on the site and discourage people from transferring any money in advance of seeing an item for sale.’ eBay questioned the validity of the research. It said that the 371 cases examined by Citizens Advice should be put in the context of the fact the UK version of the auction site receives 19million visitors each month. It said: ‘eBay invests millions of pounds each year doing just what the Citizens Advice Bureau recommends: strongly policing our website, carrying out spot checks and immediately removing any risky ads.  Customers who purchase on eBay are covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee and get the item they ordered, or their money back.’
Citizens Advice revealed that one in six of the consumer problems it has . investigated associated with Gumtree was a scam or potential scam . National Fraud Intelligence Bureaux . reveal online shopping and auction scams most common fraud . reported in 2013, costing £63.6 million . Turn stolen items into cash, including a huge number of bicycles and valuables taken during burglaries. Con people into paying for items via bank transfer, such as mobile phones, games consoles and sought after concert and sporting tickets, which are not delivered. Target people selling high value items for robbery. They get the addresses and steal the items, either while people are sleeping or with violence. Tempt people to locations to buy or sell things, such as cars and motorbikes, only to rob them, sometimes at the point of a gun or knife. Trick people to pay rent deposits on flats which do not belong to them, leaving people out of pocket and without a roof. Offer bogus jobs via a scam that downloads a bug to victims’ computers and steals personal details, including bank information.

Police are receiving around 250 crime and fraud allegations a week that are connected to the site, some of which involve serious thefts and assault. Criminals are using the online small ads site Gumtree, which allows people to sell everything from cars to mobile phones and even pets, to steal millions of pounds from innocent consumers . And figures from the National Fraud Intelligence Bureaux reveal online shopping and auction scams were the most common fraud reported in 2013, costing UK consumers £63.6 million. Gumtree is particularly vulnerable because the website does not vet or take identification details from its users, which means it can be used time and again by criminals who are difficult to trace. The website is owned by eBay, which does have ID checking but is also vulnerable to criminal scams, according to research by Citizens Advice. It said one in ten problems it has looked at associated with eBay was a scam or potential scam. The watchdog gave the example of a flat hunter who saw a property advertised on Gumtree and handed over £1,650 to the person he thought was the landlord. However, when he tried to move in, someone else was already living there. In another case a man bought a car on eBay for £360 and spent another £700 on repairs, however it was then repossessed because the previous owner had failed to pay off an outstanding loan. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg and there is evidence from a large and growing number of court cases and police reports that criminals use Gumtree to: . Citizens Advice looked at problems reported to its offices in the six months to the end of March which concerned products or services bought through Gumtree and eBay. There were 649 cases related to Gumtree and 3,711 to eBay. Victims of online crime are invited to report the case to Action Fraud, which collects the details and passes some of them on to local police forces. However, this regime has fallen into disrepute because many victims, some of whom have lost huge sums, are never contacted by the police. The chief executive of Citizens Advice, Gillian Guy, said: ‘Online marketplaces are at risk of becoming a hotbed for scams. ‘These sites are an important service for buyers and sellers, but con artists are profiting from them too.  Scammers are swindling people out of out of hundreds or thousands of pounds by posting false products and services online. ‘Con artists are preying on those still trying to get back on their feet from the recession. Fake jobs and phoney homes are taking people’s deposits that they strived and saved so long for. ‘Businesses need to get savvy to these spurious practices and take steps to stop consumers falling foul of scams. Gumtree is particularly vulnerable because the website does not vet or take identification details from its users, which means it can be used time and again by criminals who are difficult to trace . ‘It’s time for online marketplaces to up their game and do more to protect their customers from dodgy dealings by strongly policing their websites, carrying out spot checks and immediately removing any risky ads.’ Gumtree said: ‘We do everything in our power to keep scammers off our site and encourage anyone that has fallen for a scam, to report it to us and the police. ‘Gumtree is an open platform which provides a free and easy way to buy and sell, meaning we do not track user information. We are always looking at new ways to improve customer safety such as improving methods of communication between us and our customers. ‘We encourage all our users to adhere to our safety tips on the site and discourage people from transferring any money in advance of seeing an item for sale.’ eBay questioned the validity of the research. It said that the 371 cases examined by Citizens Advice should be put in the context of the fact the UK version of the auction site receives 19million visitors each month. It said: ‘eBay invests millions of pounds each year doing just what the Citizens Advice Bureau recommends: strongly policing our website, carrying out spot checks and immediately removing any risky ads.  Customers who purchase on eBay are covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee and get the item they ordered, or their money back.’

Los Angeles (CNN) -- The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on Wednesday unanimously repealed a resolution made seven decades ago supporting the internment of Japanese Americans shortly after Japan's Pearl Harbor attacks, which led the United States to enter World War II. The five-member board heard emotional testimony from Japanese-Americans who were incarcerated in the internment camps or whose parents were placed in the camps. They recounted the racial hysteria of the era. Donald Nose, president of the Go For Broke National Education Center, a nonprofit group dedicated to Japanese-American civil liberties issues during WWII, said, "To this day, my uncle and mother still have nightmares about the incarceration process." Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas introduced the motion Wednesday to void the board's 1942 endorsement of the barbed-wired camps. "The internment of American citizens of Japanese ancestry was no doubt a low point in American history. The county of Los Angeles in ... 1942 contributed to that by a resolution that is on the books of this great institution," Ridley-Thomas said during the meeting. "To ignore this and leave it as unfinished business is essentially to trivialize it, and we choose not to trivialize this travesty," Ridley-Thomas said. More than 70 years ago, the board voted unanimously to endorse President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 in February 1942 that put 120,000 Japanese Americans, about a third from Los Angeles County, in internment camps for up to three years, Ridley-Thomas said. The board said then it was difficult "if not impossible to distinguish between loyal and disloyal Japanese aliens." Ridley-Thomas said his proposal was meant "to address a historic wrong." 'Ways of escaping the barbed wire fences': George Takei's internment camp experience . Bill Watanabe, the recently retired executive director of the Little Tokyo Service Center in Los Angeles, a social welfare agency, said he read the 1942 resolution on Tuesday and found it disturbing. "It would be comical if it weren't so tragic," Watanabe told the board. "Since you can't tell (between loyal and disloyal Japanese aliens), let's round them all up and put them away. "This kind of thinking cannot exist in the county of Los Angeles, which takes pride in its diversity," Watanabe said. Los Angeles County Chief Executive Officer William Fujioka, a third-generation Japanese-American, told the board that his grandfather, a prominent businessman in Los Angeles' Little Toyko neighborhood, was among the first detainees rounded up and was sent to Fort Leavenworth because the U.S. government "thought he was a spy." Fujioka's father was also put in a camp while in his fourth year at the University of California, Berkeley, and he had never finished college at the time of his death in 1992, Fujioka said. Despite the indignities, his family "taught me to be a proud American," Fujioka told the board. He then began crying. Actor George Takei, who played Mr. Sulu on the television series "Star Trek," also testified in support of the motion and recalled his experience when two U.S. soldiers with bayonet rifles took him, then age 5, and his parents and family from their Los Angeles home and placed them in reeking horse stalls at the Santa Anita racetrack. "My mother remembers it as the most degrading, humiliating experience she ever had in her life. She didn't know the other humiliations that were going to follow," Takei told the board. "But for me, I remember it as it was kind of fun to sleep where the horsies sleep." Takei and his family were then sent to internment camps in Rohwer, Arkansas, and Tule Lake, California. Marlene Shigekawa, 67, of Lafayette, California, didn't attend Wednesday's board meeting, but in an interview with CNN, she said she was born in barbed-wire-enclosed internment camp in Poston, Arizona, in 1944. Her mother, now 103, lives in Culver City near Los Angeles, she said. "For the Japanese-Americans of all generations, the interment experience was a defining moment," Shigekawa said. "It spoke to the courage and ability to endure and to overcome a painful experience in which Japanese-Americans at the time of the war were dishonored and shunned by their own country. "It brings back a bittersweet experience in the sense that there was so much pain in terms of shame and humiliation associated with it, but the community was triumphant in overcoming adverse circumstances and building a future for subsequent generations," she said. Shigekawa, a board member of the Poston Community Alliance, a nonprofit restoring the Poston internment camp, said she and the group are making a documentary on Japanese-American mothers and their children born in Poston, located on the Colorado River Indian Reservation. At the end of this month, the group is planning to return to the Poston internment camp site an original wooden barracks that's now located 15 miles away in Parker, Arizona, where a local man had bought the barracks, she said. The alliance is now in the process of having the Poston camp declared a National Historic Landmark because it was the largest of the camps, with 18,000 Japanese-Americans at its peak, making it the third largest city in Arizona then, she said.

By . Associated Press Reporter . A patient being kept in isolation at a New York hospital over concerns that he may have contracted Ebola while traveling in West Africa has tested negative for the virus. Health officials said that the man, who has not been identified, had been admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital on Monday, with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. The patient, who had recently returned from a country where the virus has been reported, was said to be improving, but a hospital spokesman has not said what illness he contracted. Scroll down for video . All clear: A patient being treated in an isolation ward at Mount Sinai in New York City does not have Ebola, hospital officials have said . 'The patient is in stable condition, is improving, and remains in the care of our physicians,' the spokesman said. On Wednesday, the hospital confirmed that tests carried out on the patient showed that the illness was not Ebola. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said six people in the U.S., including the New York patient, have been tested for Ebola since the West African outbreak erupted this year, and all results were negative. Officials at U.S. airports are watching travelers from Africa for flu-like symptoms that could be tied to the recent Ebola outbreak there. The Ebola virus causes a hemorrhagic fever that has killed more than 900 people, mostly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. It is spread through direct contact with bodily fluids. Border patrol agents at airports in New York and Washington have been told to ask travelers about possible exposure to the virus, and to be on the lookout for anyone with a fever, diarrhea, red eyes or other symptoms. Health officials have said that the threat to Americans at home remains relatively small.
