Officials in Florida released Thursday a surveillance video showing Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston shoplifting crab legs from a Tallahassee supermarket. The silent clip recorded inside a Publix grocery store April 29 shows the Florida State University star football player sauntering into the supermarket dressed in shorts and sandals, and heading to the back. Winston, 20, could be seen picking up a $32.72 order of crab legs and craw fish served on a trey wrapped in plastic from the seafood counter. Scroll down for video . Caught on camera: Officials in Florida released this surveillance video showing FSU quarterback Jameis Winston, 20, leaving a Publix supermarket without paying for an order of crab legs and crawfish . Watchful eye: Winston dressed in black is seen picking up a $32.72 order of seafood from a counter (left) and then heading to the dairy section for butter . He then stops by the dairy section to pick up a pack of butter and heads out the door after allegedly waiting for an off-duty sheriff's deputy to pass. Winston told deputies he walked out and forgot to pay for 3lbs worth of Old Bay seasoned steamed crab legs and a pound of Cajun seasoned crawfish. But he said he didn't take the butter. He said he decided on the way out of the store that he didn't need it and placed it in a sale bin instead of returning it to the dairy cooler. Leon County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Crego who reviewed the security video wrote in a report released last week that the quarterback and FSU baseball closer appeared to hang back at the exit to avoid walking in front of a law enforcement official. Evasion tactic: Officials say Winston paused at the exit to avoid being seen by this off-duty sheriff's deputy . Getaway: The 20-year-old college football star marched out of the store without paying for his food - but he later told police he simply forgot . Local news, weather, sports Savannah | WSAV On Your Side . ‘Mr. Winston paused visibly near a series of sale bins and allowed Deputy Graves to pass in front of him. The pause appeared to be an attempt to avoid walking in front of Deputy Graves,’ Crego wrote . ‘Mr. Winston then walked behind Deputy Graves, passed all points of sale, and exited the store without paying for the merchandise.’ The report goes on to state that deputies were unable to determine whether Winston took the butter or placed it in the sale bin. Winston signed a civil citation admitting he committed petit theft and was suspended from FSU's baseball team for three games until he completed 20 hours of community service. ‘Mr. Winston apologized repeatedly and stated he wanted to “make it right,"’ Crego wrote. The 20-year-old Alabama native has also released an apology. 'I went to the supermarket with the intent to purchase dinner but made a terrible mistake for which I'm taking full responsibility,' Winston said in a statement April 30 after news of his misdeed--and punishment--had quickly spread. Hungry? Quarterback Jameis Winston #5 of the Florida State Seminoles pictured here after the 2014 Rose Bowl victory over Auburn, is likely not currently celebrating after news broke Wednesday of a criminal citation he received Tuesday for allegedly shoplifting crab legs from a Florida grocery store . 'In a . moment of youthful ignorance, I walked out of the store without paying . for one of my items,' continued the youngest ever Heisman winner. 'I . realize that I am in the public spotlight and my conduct needs to be . above reproach.' Officials pointed out that the college student made no attempt to contact the supermarket and alert someone at Publix to his mistake. Winston has had . previous run-ins with the law, including a 2013 investigation over an . alleged rape for which he was never charged. 'Over the last year I've learned that my accomplishments on the fields can be a wonderful thing for my school, teammates, friends, and family,' the athlete's statement said. 'At the same time, I must realize that my mistakes are magnified and can bring great embarrassment to all those who support me every day.' Winston was not arrested. Unless he fails to show up to community service, his record will remain clean. 'He got an adult civil citation,' a police source told Tomahawk Nation of the arrest alternative usually reserved for juveniles. 'If he completes the sanctions it will never show up on his record,' said the source. 'They are now doing it for minor misdemeanors for adults to lower crime rate.' The source also revealed the quarterback will be fined $30. No arrests: The current Heisman trophy holder also has an impressive record pitching for his school's baseball team, but he has a history of near misses with the law outside the alleged seafood incident . The incident allegedly occurred at a Publix, a staple in Florida grocery stores . According . to the SB Nation report, Winston was once investigated by police after a . Burger King employee accused him of stealing soda using a ketchup cup. He also faced police questioning for an alleged involvement in a long-running BB gun battle, SB Nation reports. News of Winston's wrongdoings come just weeks after the NCAA changed its rules to allow colleges to offer their athletes as much free food as they want. There was previously a cap placed at three free meals per day. The announced rule change came after Connecticut basketball guard Shabazz Napier's announcement during the Final Four in which he complained of players 'starving.' Hungry: UConn guard Shabazz Napier complained early in April that he often goes to bed hungry because he can't afford food. Days later, the NCAA announced a lifting of restrictions on free food provided to college athletes . It was unclear if Winston was able to take advantage of the rule at the time of his encounter with authorities. Winston is the nation's top-rated passer . and has led the top-ranked Seminoles (13-0) to a spot in the BCS . championship game against No. 2 Auburn on Jan. 6, his birthday. The . former five-star recruit from Bessemer, Alabama, made college football . look easy from his very first game. On Labor Day night, on national television, Winston went 25 for 27 for 356 yards and four touchdowns in a victory at Pittsburgh. 'I . can't explain how truly intelligent he is,' Florida State coach Jimbo . Fisher said. 'He always wanted to know why he had success or why he had . failure so he could either repeat it or fix it.' There . wasn't much failure on the way to becoming the third Seminoles . quarterback to win the Heisman. The last was Chris Weinke in 2000. Winston and . Florida State were cruising toward an undefeated season when news broke . of an unresolved sexual assault complaint against him made to the . Tallahassee Police Department last December. The . dormant case was handed over to the state attorney's office for a full . investigation. A female student at Florida State accused Winston of . rape. Winston's attorney said the sex was consensual. During . three weeks of uncertainty, Winston continued to play sensationally, . while other contenders stumbled or failed to distinguish themselves.
The 20-year-old will reportedly serve community service, be suspended from his side gig on the baseball team and faces a $30 fine . Winston told deputies he forgot to pay for $32.72 worth of steamed crab legs and craw fish . Video from Publix grocery store in Tallahassee shows the FSU quarterback pausing near the entrance so that an off-duty deputy could pass . Sheriff's report states Winston apologized repeatedly and said he wanted to 'make it right'

The daughter of sire War Front won on her Lingfield debut before finishing sixth to subsequent Group One winner Cursory Glance in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. She landed in Keeneland yesterday. Peace And War will run in the Group One Alcibiades Stakes on dirt on October 3 or the Group Three Jessamine Stakes on turf five days later. A win in either guarantees a starting berth at the Breeders’ Cup. Trainer Olly Stevens could run Peace and War in the Breeders' Cup . It's not cut and dried that Peace And War (right) will run in California next month . Surrey-based Stevens said: ‘I will fly out and work her on the dirt next weekend. It is an ambitious plan but a case of taking her where conditions will suit when the ground is only going to be getting softer here.’ Peace And War, who cost $300,000, is owned by a partnership which includes Stevens’ main backer Sheik Fahad Al Thani and Mohammed Al Kubasi, whose first horse in training was Stevens-trained Lightning Thunder, runner-up in the English and Irish 1,000 Guineas.

A man has given more than $21,000 to charity after collecting all the loose change he found lying around for 10 years. Rick Snyder, from Bradenton, Florida, says he found the bulk of the coins - and the odd note - during his daily four-hour walks. The cash, which weighed more than 2,500lbs, was donated to the Gulf Shore Animal League, a charity which cares for feral cats. Rick Snyder's $21,495 haul of loose change weighed more than 2,500lbs and filled more than 100 jars . Mr Snyder said that he found most of the money left in vending machines and car washes, collecting around $5.60 a day. 'It astounds me how wasteful people are,' Snyder, who also collects thrown away towels so he can wash them and give them to shelters, told the Bradenton Herald. He said: 'I've been taking care of feral cats for years and I started noticing a lot of change laying around. So I started picking it up and keeping track of it. '$10,000 was my first goal and then I hit that and I wasn’t satisfied. 'I said I’d keep going so I got to 100 jars and thought "well I’ll keep going". $20,000 was my next goal and I exceeded that.' He eventually reached $21,495, which he donated in its entirety to the charity for feral cats. Mr Snyder owns a 48-unit condominium complex, and has found families for about 100 cats by homing them with his tenants. 'People do avoid me now if they see me coming,' he joked. Mr Snyder decided to donate the money to Gulf Shore Animal League, which cares for feral cats (file picture) Asked why he did not keep the cash for himself, Mr Snyder said: 'I have enough money.' He added that he would continue to pick up and more cash he finds and give it to charity again. The donation is the largest the rescue group has ever received from one person. Cheryl Wade, president of the Gulf Shore Animal league, said: 'This is just so over the top. It will help so many animals in our community.' She added that the money would be used to help care for kittens which are too young to be adopted.

He eventually reached $21,495, which he donated in its entirety to the charity for feral cats. Mr Snyder owns a 48-unit condominium complex, and has found families for about 100 cats by homing them with his tenants. 'People do avoid me now if they see me coming,' he joked. Mr Snyder decided to donate the money to Gulf Shore Animal League, which cares for feral cats (file picture) Asked why he did not keep the cash for himself, Mr Snyder said: 'I have enough money.' He added that he would continue to pick up and more cash he finds and give it to charity again. The donation is the largest the rescue group has ever received from one person. Cheryl Wade, president of the Gulf Shore Animal league, said: 'This is just so over the top. It will help so many animals in our community.' She added that the money would be used to help care for kittens which are too young to be adopted.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . Last updated at 3:10 PM on 23rd June 2011 . On her feet: Lizzie suffers from postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which affects the body's ability to adjust to the pull of gravity . A student with a rare condition that caused her to faint every time she stood up over 14 years is finally back on her feet. Lizzie Rees, 22, suffers from postural orthostatic . tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which affects the body's ability to adjust . to the pull of gravity. The condition causes her heart rate to speed up whenever she stands, causing her to pass out up to five times a day. Even getting up from a chair would cause her to collapse and she often had to crawl around on her hands and knees or use a wheelchair. But after countless medical experts failed to cure the problem she is finally enjoying a normal life after a heart specialist prescribed a drug to control her blood flow. Miss Rees, from Bristol, said: 'I would pass out up to five times a day and was constantly getting injured banging my head and have to go off to A&E. 'I have seen cardiologists and doctors of pretty much every speciality going, but it is great to know that this is treatable. 'I remember feeling so much better after I started treatment. I still pass out occasionally but going to college now shows how far I have come.' POTS is a form of dysautonomia - an abnormal functioning of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which controls many subconscious bodily functions including breathing and balance. When the average person stands their blood pressure drops slightly but the ANS recognises this and causes their heart rate to momentarily increase. But in POTS patients, their blood pressure plummets when they stand, causing the heart to race. Blood supply is not able to reach the brain quickly enough, resulting in dizziness, vision loss and fainting. Lizzie inherited a genetic condition which left her more susceptible to POTS and it was triggered by an infection she picked up at the age of eight. But the age of 12 she was unable to even sit up in bed and was admitted to hospital for 14 months as doctors sought a cure. Lizzie missed school completely between the age of 11 and 16 because she was unable to stand.By her late teens the condition briefly improved and she was able to take a job as a part-time care assistant at 18. In and out of hospital: Lizzie pictured in hospital with her mother when she was younger. An infection triggered her condition when she was just eight . But she had to quit within a year after the symptoms returned. Lizzie, who has spent most of her life getting around in a wheelchair, said: 'I have seen cardiologists and doctors of pretty much every speciality going but no one could figure it out. 'I spent three years in hospital in total, including 14 months at the children's hospital, bed-bound in a darkened room, fed by a tube. 'Fortunately I have had the support of my family and some very good friends.' But last September Lizzie was referred to Glyn Thomas, a consultant cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist at the Bristol Heart Institute. After extensive tests he prescribed daily injections of the drug octreotide, which increases her blood pressure and prevents her passing out. Her condition improved so much she has started an arts therapy college course at City of Bristol College. Getting around: Lizzie Rees was often confined to a wheelchair to stop her from fainting . She said: 'I almost didn't turn up for my appointment with Dr Thomas because I have seen so many people before and had not got anywhere, but it was so refreshing to see him. 'I remember feeling so much better after I started treatment. I still pass out occasionally but going to college now shows how far I have come.' Lizzie is now fulfilling a long-term dream of attending the Glastonbury Festival. She has bought tickets every year since 2005 with the hope of being able to join her friends at the event but has had to rip up her ticket at the last minute. The medication she is using is not routinely funded by the NHS but doctors can apply for exceptional funding on their patients' behalf. It is thought that just a few hundred people worldwide suffer from the severe form of POTS such as Lizzie's. Her parents Corinne, 58, and Gareth, 61, both doctors, hope that hundreds of other POTS sufferers could now benefit. Christmas away from home: Lizzie spent 14 months bed bound in a children's hospital . Corinne, a community paediatrician, said: 'It is huge, the heart institute have done a fantastic job, it is such a profound relief. She just wants to get on with her life. 'It has made a considerable difference to her life, one the hospital trust can be proud of. 'I think a core part of what they are doing is to recognise that POTS is a treatable condition and working to treat it. 'A lot of factors contribute towards the condition, such as the right water and salt levels and increasing exercise to help with blood flow. 'I would suspect they will find a lot of people out there who suffer to some extent who previously may not have fitted into a certain box and not been treated correctly. Hopefully this will change that.'
Lizzie would crawl on her hands and knees or use a wheel chair to stop herself collapsing .

With its incredible presentation, near-prefect controls and life-like animation, it’s hard to find anything wrong with NBA 2K14. And although it’s not radically different from the previous game, key gameplay mechanics have been tweaked to make the experience as enjoyable as possible. Court in the act: everything from the animation to the way each player looks is right on the money . Perhaps most impressive is how 2K Sports have captured the feel of the sport. Fast breaks are easier to execute than ever before, while showboating Assist Passes (achieved by a tap of the right and left triggers) means no game is without flair. Play-calling, achieved via the D-Pad, is a breeze, too, allowing you to change tactics on the fly. There are also plenty of dribble moves – with an impressive amount of combinations available at the touch of the right analogue stick. Thankfully, they don’t always work, and pulling them off at the wrong moment will often result in a turnover. Shooting from deep is as rewarding as ever, made even more so by just how well-realised the players are. Many of the most famous stars have made a seamless transition to the game – from pixel-perfect expressions, to their shot technique. Three points! Shooting isn't easy, but it's not so hard as to put you off trying your luck from distance . Sadly, although the game looks incredible in motion, cut-scenes do not have the same level of polish. Characters have a ‘dead-behind-the-eyes’ look about them, and uncomfortably jolt around. Given the high-quality of the presentation – from the outstanding commentary to glitzy game menus and impeccable soundtrack – it’s a shame such an integral part of the game isn’t quite up to scratch. Thankfully, this blip can’t take away from the wide selection of game modes on offer. The standard pick-up-and-play matches, multi-season and multiplayer feature but it’s the LeBron: Path to Greatness, that takes centre stage. In similar vein to NBA 2K12’s Jordan Challenge, you take control of LeBron James and take part in a series of key games across several seasons. So close but so far: If only the cutscenes had more polish, then this could be the perfect sports game. There is still hope, though, when the game is released on next-gen consoles . You can choose either the Heat Dynasty – where James must help Miami become a dominant force in the league, or the Fantastic Journey – that sees the star hop around different teams. It’s a worthy addition, but one many won't find as fun as the Jordan Challenge. No matter, because for the most part, NBA 2K14 is a slam-dunking success. NBA 2K14 is out now. Agree with Talal?

Mr Beecroft rejected a claim by Labour MPs that the report was based on opinions and created an 'open door for bullying and intimidation'. Even if small businesses grew by 2 per cent as a result of his proposals, that would see the creation of 100,000 new jobs, he said. Speaking to a committee of MPs . examining the details of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Bill, Mr . Beecroft denied his research was based 'entirely on anecdotal evidence'. He said the case for making it easier . for small firms to hire and fire employees was 'self-evident', telling . MPs the UK's employment laws were a disincentive for firms to expand. The businessman, who has backed more . than 200 successful start-ups, said current rules had not been based on . statistical research, adding he had spoken to both employees and . employers as they battled through the tribunal process.

Mathieu Debuchy is expected to be out for two months after suffering an ankle injury in Saturday's draw with Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium. Debuchy collapsed in clear agony after catching his studs in the turf and the defender has damaged ligaments in his left ankle.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that Debuchy's injury 'doesn't look good' Debuchy is taken off on a stretcher after suffering a badly sprained ankle at the Emirates . Other defenders in the senior squad are left back Kieran Gibbs, just back from injury, and 19-year-old right back Hector Bellerin, yet to make a competitive start for Arsenal. Wenger admitted Debuchy’s injury, in the 81st minute, hurt his team against City, who grabbed a point through Martin Demichelis's header two minutes later.

A modern day gold rush is taking place along the coast of a Russian town after a storm washed a small fortune in amber onto the beach. Amber is fossilized tree resin valued enormously for its colour and natural beauty since Neolithic times. It is treated as a gemstone and used in jewellery, but is also used as an ingredient in perfumes, and in traditional medicine. Although it can be found all over the world more than 90 percent of the world’s amber is found along the Samland coast in the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast region, sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania. Scroll down for video . Dozens of people dived into the sea near the Russian town of Pionersky in Kaliningrad to search for amber . The resin was washed ashore during a storm in the Baltic which is home to 90 percent of the world's supply . Locals waded into the ocean with nets to scoop up any pieces of amber that have been washed up . Pieces of amber torn from the seafloor are cast up by the waves, and collected by hand, dredging, or diving. The latest storm creating a huge crop of amber for locals who turned up with nets and diving suits to line their pockets with the gemstone from the shoreline in the town of Pionersky, in the Kaliningrad region. Most of them seemed not to be put off by the freezing cold conditions, some even putting on wetsuits and using huge nets to sweep the shoreline as waves washed over them. Others stayed onshore picking through blackened seaweed and rock pools. Local Olga Bazhenova, 42, interviewed on Russian TV said: 'Town residents and tourists were picking up small and medium-sized pieces of amber from seaweed and sand from dawn till dusk. It was a free for all, some people make themselves a lot of money to start the New Year.' She added: 'Even pensioners forgot their ailments and age and scratched the frozen soil with sticks like babies in a sandpit.' The timing could not have been better, as the 'free gift from nature' will help people out during the country’s current economic crisis, but also raise spirits in the region. The amber is a major source of income for the region with the local Kaliningrad Amber Factory extracting 250 tonnes of it in 2014. Amber comes from resin which oozed from ancient trees and formed into larger lumps which fossilised and hardened. In some cases the resin formed around an ancient insect, preserving it perfectly for millions of years. The resin is different to the sap found within a tree which acts as its vascular system. It is believed that most amber is between 30 and 90 million years old. Amber is most commonly used as a jewellery, but it is also used in perfumes. The substance has even been used as a building material in several 17th century churches. Some faith 'healers' believe that the fossil has certain restorative properties. Some scientists believe that it would be possible to extract DNA from creatures set in amber, possibly finding additional answers for questions about evolution. According to the Birmingham Assay Office, amber is very soft and warm to the touch and is easily scratched. It will melt if touched with a hot needle. Also, if you put alcohol on amber it should evaporate without leaving any sticky residue. The fossil also produces static electricity if it is rubbed with a soft cloth and will float in a strong saltwater solution. If you lick amber, it should not have any taste - unlike the plastic versions. Some of the more adventurous came equipped with snorkels and face masks to dive on the amber . Less intrepid people picked their way through the sand looking for any smaller bits of amber on the beach . Some larger pieces of amber were found in mud near the waterline by locals .
Dozens of Russians braved the freezing Baltic in a mad-cap treasure hunt . The valuable amber was disturbed from the seabed in a major winter storm . Amber was formed by tree-resin that fossilised millions of years ago . The amber floats in salt water and is used in jewellery and perfume .

Although it can be found all over the world more than 90 percent of the world’s amber is found along the Samland coast in the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast region, sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania. Scroll down for video . Dozens of people dived into the sea near the Russian town of Pionersky in Kaliningrad to search for amber . The resin was washed ashore during a storm in the Baltic which is home to 90 percent of the world's supply . Locals waded into the ocean with nets to scoop up any pieces of amber that have been washed up . Pieces of amber torn from the seafloor are cast up by the waves, and collected by hand, dredging, or diving. The latest storm creating a huge crop of amber for locals who turned up with nets and diving suits to line their pockets with the gemstone from the shoreline in the town of Pionersky, in the Kaliningrad region. Most of them seemed not to be put off by the freezing cold conditions, some even putting on wetsuits and using huge nets to sweep the shoreline as waves washed over them. Others stayed onshore picking through blackened seaweed and rock pools. Local Olga Bazhenova, 42, interviewed on Russian TV said: 'Town residents and tourists were picking up small and medium-sized pieces of amber from seaweed and sand from dawn till dusk. It was a free for all, some people make themselves a lot of money to start the New Year.' She added: 'Even pensioners forgot their ailments and age and scratched the frozen soil with sticks like babies in a sandpit.' The timing could not have been better, as the 'free gift from nature' will help people out during the country’s current economic crisis, but also raise spirits in the region. The amber is a major source of income for the region with the local Kaliningrad Amber Factory extracting 250 tonnes of it in 2014. Amber comes from resin which oozed from ancient trees and formed into larger lumps which fossilised and hardened. In some cases the resin formed around an ancient insect, preserving it perfectly for millions of years. The resin is different to the sap found within a tree which acts as its vascular system. It is believed that most amber is between 30 and 90 million years old. Amber is most commonly used as a jewellery, but it is also used in perfumes. The substance has even been used as a building material in several 17th century churches. Some faith 'healers' believe that the fossil has certain restorative properties. Some scientists believe that it would be possible to extract DNA from creatures set in amber, possibly finding additional answers for questions about evolution. According to the Birmingham Assay Office, amber is very soft and warm to the touch and is easily scratched. It will melt if touched with a hot needle. Also, if you put alcohol on amber it should evaporate without leaving any sticky residue. The fossil also produces static electricity if it is rubbed with a soft cloth and will float in a strong saltwater solution. If you lick amber, it should not have any taste - unlike the plastic versions. Some of the more adventurous came equipped with snorkels and face masks to dive on the amber . Less intrepid people picked their way through the sand looking for any smaller bits of amber on the beach . Some larger pieces of amber were found in mud near the waterline by locals .

By . Sarah Griffiths . A narrow three-wheeled electric vehicle could offer commuters the freedom to squeeze through traffic jams as if were driving a motorbike, while offering the stability and safety of being inside a car. Toyota's i-ROAD personal mobility vehicle is designed for negotiating busy city streets and is no wider than a standard motorbike, but can be driven like a car thanks to intelligent front wheels that automatically adjust to suit the driver's actions. The trike uses 'Active Lean' technology that allows its wheels to move up and down to calculate the best position for going round tight corners, or weaving in and out of traffic.

New York's famous bronze bull is a mascot for Wall Street, but when it was dropped off by a guerrilla artist in the middle of the night 25 years ago, it was not quite so popular with traders. The Charging Bull was created by Sicilian immigrant Arturo Di Modica. He wanted his work to be a symbol of strength and hope after the 1987 stock market collapse. Icon: New York's famous bronze bull (pictured) is a mascot for Wall Street, but when it was dropped off by a guerrilla artist in the middle of the night 25 years ago, it was not quite so popular with traders . Outrage: When the bull was removed, the next morning's New York Post, displayed a photo of it being carted away, reading: 'Bah, Humbug!' 'N.Y. Stock Exchange grinches can't bear Christmas-gift bull' Idea: Artist Arturo Di Modica (pictured) stands in front of the Exchange this week. He wanted the bull to be a symbol of strength and hope after the 1987 stock market collapse . He spent $350,000 of his own money to create the three and a half ton beast in his Soho studio - it was designed to be a Christmas gift to the city. After two years of work the casting was final and the final pieces were welded together - the slick, powerful-looking bull measured 18 feet long. At 1 a.m. on Dec. 15, 1989, Di Modica, with the help of 30 friends and a rented crane, lifted his majestic artwork onto a flatbed truck, drove it to the financial district in Lower Manhattan and dropped it off. He had cased the area the day before, selecting a prime site on the sidewalk in front of the New York Stock Exchange and meticulously timing the police officers' patrols to every eight minutes. New additioon: Amazed workers saw the bull as they arrived at the offices in 1989 and a crowd built up as seen in this photo . 'It took us five minutes to drop it off and get out of there,' Di Modica recalled. He was so excited by his present that he stayed behind and watched as amazed workers discovered the massive crouching bull with big horns and flaring nostrils. 'It was love right away,' Di Modica, now 73, told MarketWatch. 'They wanted to touch it, embrace it - it was beautiful. I stood there watching until about noon, when I took a break and went to lunch.' But officials were not happy and they called police who either unwilling or unable to move it. They were so desperate to remove it, that the exchange hired private contractors to pick it up and the statute was transferred to Queens. Protected: During Occupy Wall Street protests police put barricades around the famous bull statue in 2011 (pictured) Worldwide: The bull has gone global and replicas (left and right) have been made for several countries across the world including China . But the bull's mysterious arrival had already made headlines across America and indeed the world. The next morning's New York Post, displayed a photo of the bull being carted away, reading: 'Bah, Humbug!' 'N.Y. Stock Exchange grinches can't bear Christmas-gift bull.' Di Modica could not bear the idea of his bull living its life out in the Queens and was determined to bring it back to Manhattan. Di Modica says he spoke to the Richard Grasso, then president and chief operating officer at the NYSE,  who said the bull could return only if it a bear was made to sit alongside it. 'He wanted me to make a bear, too,' the artist said. Lucky bull? How the S&P fared under the watchful guide of the Wall Street bull . 'I told him I was not going to do that - the bear means the market goes down, but I wanted to represent the city getting bigger, stronger, faster.' Di Modica paid for the bull to be brought back to Manhattan. His website states: 'Thanks to then Parks Commissioner Henry Stern, Mayor Ed Koch and Arturo Piccolo of the Bowling Green Association, a permanent home was found for the Charging Bull close by at Bowling Green. 'The Charging Bull stands there to this day, visited by millions of tourists, a talisman for Wall Street traders, and a source of pride for all New York City residents.' It now attracts tourists posing for photographs and investors superstitiously rubbing its horns for good luck. The bull is now seen a symbolic for New Yorkers - it was even temporarily barricaded to protect it from Occupy Wall Street in 2011. Di Modica told MarketWatch that when the market is down, people ask him why it is not working. 'I tell them he's resting, he's tired, but he'll get back to it soon,' he said.

Tokyo (CNN) -- Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda of Japan reorganized his cabinet ministers on Monday, bringing in a woman with strong links to China amid a smoldering dispute between the two nations over a group of remote islands. Noda named Makiko Tanaka, whose father oversaw the normalization of relations with China 40 years ago, as education minister -- one of string of new appointments. Tanaka, who served as foreign minister more than 10 years ago under former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, returns to the cabinet as Noda tries to manage the fallout from the clash with Beijing over the disputed islands in the East China Sea. Dangerous waters: Behind the islands dispute . Japan controls and administers the islands, but China says they are an integral part of its territory that Tokyo "stole" in the 19th century. The islands are known as Senkaku in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese. The Japanese government's announcement last month of the acquisition of several of the disputed islands from a Japanese family has heightened tensions between the two countries. Violent anti-Japanese protests have taken place in Chinese cities, and economic ties between Asia's two largest economies have started to sour. Meanwhile, patrol vessels from the two countries have been frequently locked in tense games of cat and mouse in the waters around the islands after China sent a flotilla of ships to the area. Chinese passion, fury fuels anti-Japan attacks . The appointment Monday of Tanaka to the cabinet may be interpreted as an effort to soothe those tensions by Noda. Her father, Kakuei Tanaka, was prime minister in 1972 when Tokyo and Beijing resumed diplomatic relations decades after Japan's occupation of large swathes of eastern China in the 1930s and 40s. She was nonetheless a controversial figure during her time as foreign minister at the start of this century for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), the political opponents of Noda's Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). Koizumi sacked her in 2002, saying a public dispute between her and her top aides was effectively preventing critical budget bills from passing through parliament. She once reportedly called the Foreign Ministry a "den of devils, an evil place where conspiracies are plotted." Her outspokenness earned her bureaucratic enemies but gained her popularity with the Japanese public. How a remote rock split China and Japan . She also contradicted Koizumi's government policy on relations between China and Taiwan and on a controversial history textbook approved by Tokyo that critics in Asia said whitewashed Japanese war crimes. It is unclear what influence she will have on diplomatic relations in her role as education minister. Koichiro Gemba will remain as foreign minister under the reshuffle. The others changes to Noda's cabinet included the appointment of Koriki Jojima, a senior DPJ lawmaker, as finance minister.

(OPRAH.com) -- One afternoon a few months ago, my husband walked into the house carrying a cookbook and then stood in the kitchen for a long time, turning the pages, reading it. This was interesting. He looked deeply absorbed. When his cell phone rang, he went out onto the porch for a minute, the cookbook still opened on the counter, and I came over to inspect. He had been interrupted in the midst of "How to Choose a Pork Roast." There was a silhouette of a pig, connected by arrows to detailed line drawings of 13 hefty-looking cuts of raw meat. In retrospect I see that I was completely dim about what was already under way in our household, but I remember nodding to myself and thinking, "Oh, okay. Meat." The whole book was about meat, serious meat, the kind I'd never been any good at cooking: beef chuck, short ribs, leg of lamb, brisket. Bill wanted more meat in our dinner menus, apparently, and had brought me an instruction manual -- 600 pages long, I couldn't help noticing, and with the same sort of heft as the sirloin pork roast in the picture. I was studying the corned beef recipe, which called for boiling up your own brine and then submerging the meat in it for 12 days, when Bill came back in and made a complicated spousal throat-clearing noise. "Uh, that's for me," he said. "My cookbook." I might have been more startled if Bill had said "My mascara," or "My pedicure kit," but I doubt it. Every domestic arrangement that works reasonably well is stretched out over a web of understandings about who does what, and for 24 years -- three houses, that is, and two children and two extended families and a long, noisy, generally good-natured parade of teenagers and exchange students and visiting nephews and whole soccer teams clumping in and out -- I have been the one who cooks. Oprah.com: How chocolate cake can help you win over the men in your life . I don't want to give the wrong impression here: I'm a slovenly housekeeper, blessed with a gratifying inability to see grime at all until the hour before a fussy relative is about to arrive. But I can follow a recipe. I keep a stack of CDs in the corner of the kitchen, because I like singing to Ella Fitzgerald or the Rolling Stones while I'm dropping cut-up things into a hot frying pan.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.(OPRAH.com) -- One afternoon a few months ago, my husband walked into the house carrying a cookbook and then stood in the kitchen for a long time, turning the pages, reading it. This was interesting. He looked deeply absorbed. When his cell phone rang, he went out onto the porch for a minute, the cookbook still opened on the counter, and I came over to inspect. He had been interrupted in the midst of "How to Choose a Pork Roast." There was a silhouette of a pig, connected by arrows to detailed line drawings of 13 hefty-looking cuts of raw meat. In retrospect I see that I was completely dim about what was already under way in our household, but I remember nodding to myself and thinking, "Oh, okay. Meat." The whole book was about meat, serious meat, the kind I'd never been any good at cooking: beef chuck, short ribs, leg of lamb, brisket. Bill wanted more meat in our dinner menus, apparently, and had brought me an instruction manual -- 600 pages long, I couldn't help noticing, and with the same sort of heft as the sirloin pork roast in the picture. I was studying the corned beef recipe, which called for boiling up your own brine and then submerging the meat in it for 12 days, when Bill came back in and made a complicated spousal throat-clearing noise. "Uh, that's for me," he said. "My cookbook." I might have been more startled if Bill had said "My mascara," or "My pedicure kit," but I doubt it. Every domestic arrangement that works reasonably well is stretched out over a web of understandings about who does what, and for 24 years -- three houses, that is, and two children and two extended families and a long, noisy, generally good-natured parade of teenagers and exchange students and visiting nephews and whole soccer teams clumping in and out -- I have been the one who cooks. Oprah.com: How chocolate cake can help you win over the men in your life . I don't want to give the wrong impression here: I'm a slovenly housekeeper, blessed with a gratifying inability to see grime at all until the hour before a fussy relative is about to arrive. But I can follow a recipe. I keep a stack of CDs in the corner of the kitchen, because I like singing to Ella Fitzgerald or the Rolling Stones while I'm dropping cut-up things into a hot frying pan. In the days when carbohydrates were fashionable, I used to make risotto with fresh corn and goat cheese; and one of my daughter's friends once told me he craved my chocolate chip cookies so much that if I made some for the school ski bus, he wouldn't smoke any pot for the entire trip.

Tragedy: The burnt out Meadow Park Lodge property on the Castle Hill Estate where the fire happened in the early hours. Two bodies have now been found . A police spokesman said: ‘One body was found and recovered after a very careful search this morning. ‘A second body has just been located in the property in the last five minutes. ‘Police priorities now lie in identifying the deceased and informing the next of kin.’ The couple, aged in their 60s, had lived in the property for the last seven years. The Countess of Arran, Eleanor Gore, said it was a 'hideous thing' to have 'happened to such lovely people'. The countess, who was Eleanor van Cutsem before she married, and her husband Arthur Gore, the 9th Earl of Arran, let out 50 properties on the 5,000-acre Devon estate. Lady Arran's family, the Fortescues, have lived in Devon since 1454 and she is the 16th generation to live on the site after her ancestors arrived in England with William the Conqueror in 1066. Her husband Lord Arran is one of the 92 surviving hereditary peers in the House of Lords and the couple have two children. Their daughter Laura married Major James Duckworth-Chad, MVO, former Equerry to The Queen, in 2004.

Tragedy on their land: The Earl and Countess of Arran own the estate which has approximately 50 houses on it . Joan Rines was described as older than her husband and has five grown-up children who have long since moved away. Lady Arran said: 'We're just completely devastated. That such a hideous thing has happened to such lovely people. 'I looked out of the bedroom window and all I could see was flames licking in to the sky. So we rushed down there. 'There was not much we could do except pray. I've been to see some of the family today - our hearts go out to them.' Paul Smalley, the Castle Hill house estate manager. paid tribute to the couple.

Prosecutors in a murder case against Aaron Hernandez won't be allowed to tell a jury about two other killings with which the ex-New England Patriot is charged or the final text messages the victim sent to his sister, a judge ruled on Friday. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder in the June 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee. He has also pleaded not guilty to the fatal shootings of two men in 2012 after an encounter at a Boston nightclub. Prosecutors have said Hernandez may have showed Lloyd the spot where the double shooting allegedly took place, and suggested that was a possible motive for killing Lloyd. Scroll down for video . All smiles: Aaron Hernandez, center, a former New England Patriots NFL football player, smiles at his attorney Michael Fee, left, as co-counsel Charles Rankin, right, listens during a pre-trial motion hearing . Saved by the judge: Judge Susan Garsh says prosecutors in the murder case against Hernandez may not tell jurors about two other killings with which the he is charged . Still suspicious: Aaron Hernandez, a former New England Patriots NFL football player, looks back towards the gallery during the pre-trial motion hearing in the Superior Court . 'I don't think that it's fair to say these things aren't relevant,' said Assistant District Attorney William McCauley. But Judge E. Susan Garsh, after hearing arguments, said the prosecution's theory is 'clearly in the realm of speculation' and 'does not comport with common sense.' She said there was no demonstrated link between the two crimes and disallowed the introduction of the 2012 homicides. Garsh also said on Friday she would not admit the final text messages sent by Lloyd to his sister, including one sent just minutes before he was shot to death at an industrial park near Hernandez's North Attleborough home. Prosecutors say Lloyd sent the messages while in a car with Hernandez and suggested they showed he had become fearful. One said 'U saw who I'm with' and another indicated the person was 'NFL,' referring to Hernandez, adding 'just so u know.' McCauley suggested Hernandez stopped somewhere on the way to the spot Lloyd was killed, saying investigators found dirt in his car's tires that didn't match soil from the crime scene. The car, which had been in 'pristine shape' when Lloyd was picked up, was later found to be scratched and the side mirror missing, he said. Defense lawyers called it 'rank speculation' that the texts indicated fear and said they were inadmissible. Garsh said the texts did not suggest any hostility and that prosecutors didn't meet the burden to prove Lloyd felt he was at an 'imminent death.' Spared: Judge Susan Garsh says prosecutors in the murder case against Hernandez may not tell jurors about two other killings with which the he is charged . Jury selection is scheduled to start Jan. 9. Patriots coach Bill Belichick and team owner Robert Kraft have been listed by prosecutors as possible witnesses. Garsh also ruled that prosecutors may not introduce the shooting of Alexander Bradley, a former associate of Hernandez. Bradley has filed a civil suit against Hernandez that says the ex-player shot him in the face in 2013 after an argument in Florida. Massachusetts prosecutors sought to admit a range of evidence related to the ex-player's other alleged crimes or 'bad acts,'  including the Boston homicides, firearms found at Hernandez's home or elsewhere and even a photograph obtained from the celebrity gossip website TMZ that depicts Hernandez holding a gun. His attorneys warned against compromising his right to a fair trial. 'It is critical that this trial be about the murder of Odin Lloyd,'; defense attorney James Sultan said Friday. The judge allowed in some evidence relating to firearms, but disallowed the photograph. Taking their lead: Aaron Hernandez, a former New England Patriots NFL football player, listens as his attorneys James Sultan, left, and Charles Rankin, center, confer during a pre-trial motion hearing .

Facebook is facing another backlash from users and privacy campaigners after announcing it is once again changing its privacy settings. Up until now Facebook let people hide their profiles in search results using the 'Who can look up your timeline by name?' setting, but the social networking site is retiring this feature with almost immediate effect. The option was removed from the accounts . of people who hadn't enabled it last year, and Facebook has . announced it is removing the feature from everyone else's accounts starting . from now. Facebook began removing the 'Who can look up your timeline by name?' feature on accounts which weren't using it last year, but is now retiring it completely. This means users can no longer remove themselves for search results on the site when people who aren't their friends try to find them . Users who still have the old setting will soon see a notice on their homepage warning them the feature is being removed. The best way for users to control . what people can find about them is to choose an 'audience' for each of . the individual things that are shared. In the coming weeks, people who share . posts publicly on Facebook will also see a notice reminding them those . posts can be seen by anyone, including people they may not know. They . will also be given guidance on how to change the audience for each . post. To quickly control who can find previous posts, users can go to Privacy Settings page and click 'Limit the audience of posts you’ve shared in the past'. This means any posts that were previously shared with Friends of Friends . or Public will now be shared just to Friends. Sean Walsh, head of social media and content for Blue Claw told MailOnline: 'In a world where privacy is significant . issue for many users, this is a massive step backwards for .

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.Facebook is facing another backlash from users and privacy campaigners after announcing it is once again changing its privacy settings. Up until now Facebook let people hide their profiles in search results using the 'Who can look up your timeline by name?' setting, but the social networking site is retiring this feature with almost immediate effect. The option was removed from the accounts . of people who hadn't enabled it last year, and Facebook has . announced it is removing the feature from everyone else's accounts starting . from now. Facebook began removing the 'Who can look up your timeline by name?' feature on accounts which weren't using it last year, but is now retiring it completely. This means users can no longer remove themselves for search results on the site when people who aren't their friends try to find them . Users who still have the old setting will soon see a notice on their homepage warning them the feature is being removed. The best way for users to control . what people can find about them is to choose an 'audience' for each of . the individual things that are shared. In the coming weeks, people who share . posts publicly on Facebook will also see a notice reminding them those . posts can be seen by anyone, including people they may not know. They . will also be given guidance on how to change the audience for each . post. To quickly control who can find previous posts, users can go to Privacy Settings page and click 'Limit the audience of posts you’ve shared in the past'. This means any posts that were previously shared with Friends of Friends . or Public will now be shared just to Friends. Sean Walsh, head of social media and content for Blue Claw told MailOnline: 'In a world where privacy is significant . issue for many users, this is a massive step backwards for . Facebook and may contribute to even more users quitting the site.' Twitter user RisaJoyyy tweeted: 'Just realised @facebook changed privacy settings so anyone can message me.

Alice Powell, a 21-year-old racing driver from Chipping Norton, is in contention to drive alongside the likes of Lewis Hamilton at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after her grandfather said he would pay to turn her dream into reality. Powell, whose Formula One aspirations are supported by the Prime Minister, would become only the sixth woman ever to take part in a Formula One weekend. Her opportunity has come about in extra-ordinary circumstances, after Caterham went into administration at the end of last month. The administrators have since launched a ‘crowd-funding’ project whereby the public can contribute towards a target of £2.35million that would allow the team, who have missed the last two races, to compete at the championship decider in Abu Dhabi on Sunday week. Alice Powell could be given a chance to make her Formula One debut for Caterham . The 21-year-old's grandfather could pay £35,000 for her to race at the Abu Dhabi first practice session . Powell is hoping to line up alongside fellow Brits Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Max Chilton . Maria Teresa de Filippis: The Italian became the first female to race in F1 at 1958 Belgian Grand Prix. Lella Lombardi: Another Italian, raced 17 times in 1974-76 and only female to achieve a top-six finish. Divina Galica: The Brit was multi-talented, captaining women’s Olympic ski team in 1968 and 1972 and driving in three grands prix. Desire Wilson: Qualified 16th for home grand prix in South Africa in 1981, but retired after her car was damaged. Giovanna Amati: Rose through F3 and F3000 ranks, though she never qualified for F1 grid. Since opening on Friday, the scheme has secured more than half the required money. In return for contributing, the fans are given ‘rewards’ — including bits of old chassis, steering columns and sundry unneeded bits lying around the closed factory in Leafield, Oxfordshire. Powell’s grandfather, Jim Fraser, a retired Royal Air Force sergeant, saw an opportunity to get Powell her Formula One debut. He wrote to the administrators, Smith & Williamson, offering to pay £35,000 in exchange for Powell driving in the first practice session on the Friday of the grand prix weekend. ‘I am really hoping the administrators come back with a positive response,’ said Fraser, an aviation lover who passed his helicopter pilot’s licence seven years ago aged 66. ‘It would give the whole sport a great lift and open people’s eyes to see a woman in an F1 car again. ‘A lot of women might not want to watch a race with their husbands when all they see is a list of men. This could focus their attention, just as it did when Danica Patrick raced in America. Audience figures there went up by 15 per cent overnight. ‘Alice is the best woman driver in the world and I believe she could run in midfield in a good Formula One team. But for now we are just trying to get a drive in one practice session.’ Mark Ford, an associate director of Smith & Williamson, confirmed they had ‘received the offer and have spoken to Alice’s backers’. I understand that Ford sought an assurance from Powell’s grandfather and manager that she meets the criteria for an FIA super-licence, a prerequisite for Formula One. She should comfortably qualify for the paperwork such is her pedigree in lower formulas. At 16, she was the youngest ever driver in Formula Renault UK before becoming the first female winner of a Formula Renault series in 2010. She has driven in GP3 and Renault 3.5, arguably the toughest series outside Formula One. David Cameron has backed Powell to become the sixth female driver to take part in a Formula One weekend . F1 driver Button and British track and field athlete Jessica Ennis are among Powell's sporting heroes . But despite her success, Powell, who left school after her GCSEs to pursue her driving career, works as a labourer — steel-fixing and driving diggers — when she is not racing. Fraser says he is not cash-rich and fears his plan may be scuppered by rival bidders with deeper pockets. One driver available after his team Marussia folded is Britain’s Max Chilton, who is backed by hefty investors led by his multi-millionaire father Grahame. But Fraser said: ‘Even if the administrators get someone else for the race, qualifying and the two other practice sessions, there is no reason not to include Alice for the first session. It is important that they make up their minds soon because she needs to get on the simulator from now until Abu Dhabi.’ Powell is no stranger to the limelight, having accompanied David Cameron on a trade delegation to India two years ago. The PM strongly supports her quest, saying: ‘Alice has my full backing in her desire to compete at Formula One. ‘No woman has raced in Formula One for nearly 40 years and not only would it be great for Alice and great for Britain but it would be great for Formula One.’ By taking part in two practice sessions this season Susie Wolff, of Williams, became the first female participant since Giovanna Amati failed to qualify for the Brazilian Grand Prix on April 4, 1992. And only two women have started a race: Maria Teresa de Filippis and Lella Lombardi, in the 50s and 70s respectively. Speaking to Sportsmail last year, Powell, whose sporting heroes are Jenson Button and Jessica Ennis, said: ‘I don’t think there is anything stopping a female getting into Formula One, but I don’t think a female should be there simply because she is female.’ VIDEO Brazil boost for Rosberg as he edges out Hamilton .

HONG KONG, China (CNN) -- As General Motors heads toward insolvency, the company that was once the biggest on the planet is still riding high in the world's most populous country. China is one bright spot in GM's dismal fortunes, but U.S. consumer activists have raised concerns. As the storied American company prepares to financially dismantle its operations between good and poor performing assets, GM China is becoming the crown jewel in the company's operations. "If there's a good GM and a bad GM, China is definitely going to be in the good GM side," said Michael Dunne, an auto analyst and managing director of J.D. Power and Associates China. But the company's build-up in China is raising concern for U.S. consumer advocates and members of the U.S. Congress. Of particular concern are plans to build cars for the U.S. market in China after thousands of GM workers were laid off at U.S. plants. "Do we really want the United States of America to export its auto industry paid for by the taxpayer, and un-employ workers to a dictatorship to a country like China?" said consumer advocate Ralph Nader. "Where's our self-respect as a nation?" Adds U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio: "That cannot be a part of their restructuring of this company. Their business plan cannot include more outsourcing of jobs while taking taxpayer money." Industry analysts say the decision is a simple matter of dollars and cents: GM is now the third-biggest car manufacturer in China, which has recently overtaken the U.S. as the world's largest car market. "Our business is run as separate joint-ventures here in China in partnership with SAIC ... so we're profitable, we fund our own investment and we would be largely independent of any action that took place in the US," said Kevin Wale, president and managing director of GM China. "It seems as though they have enough going on out here that they will remain insulated from the bankruptcy back home," adds Dunne. "I see GM weathering the storm in Asia and holding on to what they've accomplished here and being able to ride it out here." CNN's Andrew Stevens and Jim Acosta contributed to this report .

Americans now believe marijuana is so harmless that they ranked sugar as more harmful to a person's health in a recent poll.

Big bads: Americans see sugar as more harmful thank marijuana but not as bad as alcohol or tobacco .

(CNN) -- The man who once indignantly remarked, "I'm a fascist, not a racist," has publicly disavowed his past far-right statements after the storm of controversy that has followed his appointment as manager of an English Premier League soccer team. Sunderland's decision to hire Paolo Di Canio at the weekend has left the club and the Italian facing a barrage of questions about his past, when he has admitted being "fascinated" by his country's former dictator Benito Mussolini. He even has tattoos of fascist emblems. His new club's vice-chairman, prominent politician David Miliband, stepped down as soon as the announcement was made. At first Di Canio refused to respond, saying he would only talk about football-related matters. However, following widespread media pressure, protests from local war veterans, anti-racism groups, a leading church member from England's north-east region whose mother was a Jewish refugee, and several anti-Di Canio Facebook pages, the 44-year-old has released a statement to clarify his beliefs. "I feel that I should not have to continually justify myself to people who do not understand this, however I will say one thing only -- I am not the man that some people like to portray," Di Canio said in a statement on Sunderland's website on Wednesday. "I am not political, I do not affiliate myself to any organization, I am not a racist and I do not support the ideology of fascism. I respect everyone." Di Canio was once a member of a hardcore right-wing fan group that follows his hometown team Lazio -- the club where he started his career and later got into trouble when he returned, when he made straight-arm salutes to the crowd in 2005. At the time he was praised by members of Mussolini's family, but the football authorities fined him and suspended him for one match. Lazio, meanwhile, has been charged four times this season over the racist behavior of its fans. The decision by Sunderland's American owner Ellis Short to hire a man with such a controversial past was seen by many as being at odds with the club's strong family values. Its work with children in the community helped secure a sponsorship deal with the "Invest in Africa" group and also led to a partnership with the Nelson Mandela Foundation. Both have said that Di Canio's appointment will not affect their relationship with Sunderland, while several fan groups told CNN Tuesday that they supported his arrival. "It is a football-related matter and under the remit of the club," an Invest in Africa spokesman told the UK Press Association. The Mandela charity, whose partnership was publicly launched at a high-profile home match against Manchester United on Saturday, met with Di Canio and club officials on Monday. "At the heart of the partnership is a commitment to our Founder's values with a special focus on human rights and anti-racism," it said in a statement Tuesday. "At the meeting on Monday, Sunderland reaffirmed its commitment to these values and the ethos of the partnership." Di Canio is now hoping to focus on the task of keeping Sunderland in the top division, in what is only his second managerial role after less than two years at Swindon -- a club he took from the fourth tier of the English game to the third before quitting over its financial problems. His new team is just one point above the relegation zone with seven games to play ahead of his first match in charge -- Sunday's trip to fourth-placed Chelsea. "I have clearly stated that I do not wish to speak about matters other than football, however, I have been deeply hurt by the attacks on the football club," he said Wednesday. "This is a historic, proud and ethical club and to read and hear some of the vicious and personal accusations is painful. I am an honest man, my values and principles come from my family and my upbringing. "Now I will speak only of football."

By . Associated Press Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 23:27 EST, 1 December 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 06:14 EST, 2 December 2012 . Rick Majerus, the jovial college basketball coach who led Utah to the 1998 NCAA final and had only one losing season in 25 years with four schools, died Saturday. He was 64. Utah industrialist Jon Huntsman, the coach's long-time friend, confirmed in a statement released through The Salt Lake Tribune that Majerus died of heart failure in a Los Angeles hospital. The coach had been hospitalized there for several months. Passionate coach: Rick Majerus reacts after a foul was not called during a St. Louis Billikens game against the Michigan State Spartans in the 2012 NCAA Men's basketball tournament . Respected leader: Majerus gives instructions to Kwamain Mitchell #3 of the Saint Louis Billikens . Players remembered Majerus as a coach who was exacting and perhaps a bit unorthodox at times, but always fair. ‘It was a unique experience, I'll tell you that, and I loved every minute of it,’ said Saint Louis guard Kyle Cassity, who was mostly a backup on last season's 26-win team after starting for Majerus earlier in his college career. ‘A lot of people questioned the way he did things, but I loved it. He'd be hard as hell on you, but he really cared.’ The school announced November 19 that Majerus wouldn't return to Saint Louis because of the heart condition. He ended the school's 12-year NCAA tournament drought last season, and bounced back from his only losing season, with a team that won its opening game and took top regional seed Michigan State to the wire. The Billikens were ranked for the first time since 1994-95. Prime time: Majerus as head coach of the Utah Utes looking on during the Maui Invitational game against the Indiana Hoosiers at Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, Hawaii in November 1998 . Majerus was undergoing evaluation and treatment in California for the ongoing heart trouble and the school announced he was on leave in late August. Loyola of Chicago coach Porter Moser, a former Majerus assistant at Saint Louis, tweeted, ‘RIP to my friend and mentor Coach Majerus. I learned so much about the game and life. We lost one of the best! My heart is heavy tonight.’ Majerus had a history of heart problems dating to 1989 that persisted despite a daily constitutional of a one-mile swim. He had a stent inserted in August 2011 in Salt Lake City and missed some games in the 2011-12 season after gashing his leg in a collision with players. Majerus was 95-69 in five seasons at Saint Louis and had a 25-year record of 517-216. He had his most success at Utah, going 323-95 from 1989-2004. He was at Marquette from 1983-86, and Ball State from 1987-89. ‘Rick left a lasting legacy at the University of Utah, not only for his incredible success and the national prominence he brought to our basketball program, but also for the tremendous impact he made on the young men who were fortunate enough to play on his teams,’ Utah athletic director Dr. Chris Hill said in a statement. In action: Majerus confers with Utah Utes players Drew Hansen, right, and Ben Caton, left, during the John R. Wooden Classic against the Arizona Wildcats on December 7, 1996 . ‘His standard of excellence extended beyond the basketball court and into the academic and personal success of his players. He will be deeply missed and we grieve for his family and all of his friends.’ Majerus took 12 teams to the NCAA tournament and four to the NIT, with the 1998 Utah team losing to Kentucky in the NCAA championship game. ‘It's a sad day for college basketball,’ UNLV coach Dave Rice said. ‘Certainly one of the great college basketball coaches. He took talent where they were most effective. When you went up against Coach Majerus and you won you knew you did something special.’ On the court: Guard Andre Miller of the Utah Utes shoots the ball as Arizona Wildcats forward Michael Dickerson attempts to block him during the John R. Wooden Classic at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim, California .

(CNN)Russia is rarely out of the headlines these days -- often for controversial reasons -- but does that mean it should be avoided by tourists? Since the collapse of the Soviet Union the country's status as a travel destination has grown steadily, with visitors drawn as much by the spectacular architecture and history of Moscow and St. Petersburg, as by the people and rich culture. However, recent events in Ukraine and the Crimean region have dealt a blow to this popularity, and could spell further trouble for Russia's tourism industry in 2015. Ironically, with the ruble taking a significant hit after the West slapped sanctions on Moscow following the annexation of Crimea and tensions in eastern Ukraine, there's seldom been a cheaper time to go for visitors from many countries. But will they go? And, crucially, should they? Indications so far suggest that 2015 will be another tough year for the Russian tourism industry. In the past, Russia's biggest source of visitors has been former Soviet states -- chiefly Ukraine. "Ukraine is by far Russia's largest foreign market. Last year, tourism from that country into Russia plunged 43%," says Gillian Kennedy, an analyst for the London-based Travel & Tourism Intelligence Centre. It's a situation mirrored across other former Eastern Bloc countries. "Traditionally, these visitors have traveled to Russia by road, which is a cheaper route than flying. But many roads to Russia from Eastern Europe go through Ukraine, which were shut down because of the conflict." Beyond the region, tourism from Germany, the United Kingdom and United States experienced the most significant drops -- trends Kennedy says are likely to continue in coming years. "The political situation between Russia and the EU remains difficult, which affects the economy of Russia in a negative way," says Helen Isaeva, managing director of Moscow-based destination management company Travel Russia. "Needless to say that Russia is currently not a popular destination to travel to for many countries there." Russia's rail and river voyages -- usually a strong draw for tourists -- have seen a decline in interest for 2015 excursions. According to Dmitry Esakov, director of sales and marketing for Moscow-based Volga Dream Cruises, bookings are down by up to 40%, partly due to a backlash against Russia's recent actions. "Business from all Western countries has been affected in one way or the other," he says. "Whereas six months ago that drop down may have been mainly driven by safety concerns, now they are mostly of a political and emotional nature." There are no major Western travel advisories warning against visiting Russia beyond its border regions with Ukraine and regions that have previously been beset by troubles such as North Ossetia and Chechnya. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth website notes on Russia: "Most visits are trouble free." There's a more cautionary message from the U.S. State Department, which expresses concern about sporadic terrorist incidents, crime, harassment and demonstrations -- but there's no explicit warning to stay away. Felix Willeke is the marketing manager for Lernidee Erlebnisreisen, a German tour operator running the Tsar's Gold Trans-Siberian train between Moscow and Beijing. He says the Crimean crisis initially failed to dent business when it broke out in March. Since there were no travel warnings, few people canceled. "Nevertheless, only a few new bookings came in after April for the rest of the season -- 2014 wasn't the best year, but still, it was better than our forecasts for 2015." Willeke says his company still plans to run its full schedule of trans-Siberian trains, even though advance bookings are already down 30%. American tour operators have experienced similar booking trends. Annie Lucas is the co-owner of MIR Corporation, a U.S.-based company with long roots in Russia. At this time last year, Lucas thought that 2014 was looking to be a strong year for tourism to Russia. While events in Crimea didn't lead to cancellations of trips already booked, there was a drop in future demand. She says those who pulled out did so because they "were not thrilled with the notion of what was going on, and they made their decisions based on that rather than personal security issues." Another barometer of falling demand is a cutback of 2015 tour departures by international operators. River cruise companies Viking Cruises and Uniworld are cutting capacity, while AmaWaterways has pulled out of Russia altogether. For AmaWaterways president Rudi Schreiner, it's partly a matter of economics and partly a matter of emotion. "I'm the first to admit that this is both a personal and a business decision," he says. "One of my concerns is what the economic situation will be in the future. "If there's another conflict, or if trade sanctions are being imposed, we don't want to provide support to the regime." Economic factors are also at play, Schreiner adds. "With the rapid decline of the ruble, it's extremely costly to bring in goods to Russia," he says. "So, we cannot guarantee that we can import the quality of goods and employ the right people to provide our passengers with the level of luxury they are used to." Business travel has also been hit, although the news isn't all bad. Despite the recent downturn, Asia is emerging as a potential growth market for Russia in terms of both business and leisure travel. "Asian countries tend to be less sensitive to the politics," says Travel Russia's Helen Isaeva. "The same we hear from hoteliers: as the number of Europeans goes down, the number of Asians increases. As a result, our focus will move from the West to the East." Outside of former Soviet states, China is Russia's largest and fastest-growing international inbound market. According to TTIC's Kennedy: "Out of the top inbound countries, China was the only one to increase last year. As a result, Russia's national tourist agency has been making a strategic switch from West to East in the last few months." In part, it's doing so by making visas easier to obtain, especially for Chinese groups heading to Crimea. Those groups are needed to fill the empty rooms left by the decline of Ukrainian vacationers, who previously made up 70% of Crimea's tourism market, according to Kennedy. Fueled by marketing efforts, easing of visa restrictions, and by the increased buying power of the yuan versus the ruble, business from China is expected to be up at least 10% in 2015. If Westerners do venture to Russia this year, they may discover that it's actually a good time to go. Although Viking Cruises has dry docked a portion of its Russian fleet, Richard Marnell, senior vice president of marketing, points out that "2015 may actually be the best time to visit Russia. It certainly won't be as crowded, and prices are down due to shrinking demand and favorable exchange rates against the ruble." Lernidee's Willeke agrees. "What many do not see in this context is that there couldn't be a better time to visit. People are friendlier than ever before, the cost for restaurants, theater visits, souvenirs, yes, even hotel overnights, are significantly lower, plus ... no queuing at the St. Petersburg Hermitage."

By . Jill Reilly . PUBLISHED: . 03:48 EST, 9 May 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 07:55 EST, 9 May 2012 . Britain's largest card retailer, Clinton Cards is set to lose its fight for survival after its biggest supplier said it will force it into administration later today. The retailer, which employs more than 8,000 staff, operates 628 Clintons and 139 Birthdays stores, and has requested that its shares be suspended on the London Stock Exchange. The move comes after its banks - Barclays and taxpayer-backed Royal Bank of Scotland - sold the company’s £35 million of loans to its biggest supplier, American Greetings. High Street woes: Clintons is the UK's biggest card retailer and employs more than 8,000 staff . But whereas the banks had waived loan repayments, American Greetings has said it will push the company into administration today. The cards and gifts retailer expects to enter administration, becoming the latest casualty on the British high street after its biggest supplier American Greetings bought up loans from its banks and promptly called them in. Clinton Cards said in a statement announcing the suspension of trading in its shares that it had been in breach of some conditions attached to £35 million ($56.5 million) worth of loans and that it was not in a position to repay them.

An unidentified red creature has washed up on the shore of Mudjimba Beach on the Sunshine Coast . 'It's definitely not a plant, it feels spongy like a jelly fish,' Ms Higgs told Daily Mail Australia, 'it's cold and rather smelly.' 'I had no idea what it was so I took a picture of it and tweeted it,' she said 'I had so many retweets and responses from people speculating what it was.' After discovering the 'blob' Ms Higgs photographed it and left it on the beach, but after she got so many tweets she went back for it. 'It is about 25 cm long, so about the length of my arm. I had a tea towel in the car so I picked it up and took it home and put it in a bucket of salty water.' The 'blob' appears to have no face or limbs.  Ms Higgs who came across the creature on a walk on the beach says that it feels soft and spongy and smells bad . The slimy red creature has caused speculation on Twitter about what it actually is.  Many have said it appears to be a Spanish Dancer slug . She was determined to find out what it was so she continued posting images of the mysterious sea creature on social media. 'I've never seen anything like it and I'm on that beach every day. People were saying on Twitter that it might be a Spanish Dancer Slug,' Ms Higgs said. Spanish Dancer slugs are most common in the warmer tropical waters of the Indian Ocean. Ms Higgs came across a strange red creature on a beach on  the Sunshine Coast of Australia then tweeted this photo asking people if they knew what it was . Ms Higgs' Twitter feed has been inundated with suggestions about what the bright red creature is. Some have retweeted and tagged experts while others have taken the comedic route of saying it is 'The red Teletubby' or 'whale placenta' and one person even made a cheeky comparison to Prime Minister Abbott in budgie smugglers. Twitter users have a laugh suggesting the creature looks like the red Teletubby or a liver .

CELEBRITY SUFFERER: American socialite Kim Kardashian . A . ground-breaking tablet that treats psoriasis could mean an end to the . debilitating pain and embarrassment suffered by thousands of Britons who . have the disfiguring skin condition. After promising results in . clinical trials in America, the NHS is now considering the use of . Apremilast in the UK and doctors have welcomed the move. 'This is a . huge step forward in  potentially treating a much greater  proportion of . people suffering from psoriasis,' says Dr Richard Warren, consultant . dermatologist at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust and The University . of Manchester. 'Many patients are worried about  the serious side . effects associated with existing therapies, and trials suggest this is a . very safe drug that will require minimal monitoring.' Psoriasis is a . common condition in which the immune system produces skin cells too . quickly, leading to a  build-up of scaly pink patches on the elbows, . knees and hands, though they can appear anywhere on the body. About . three per cent of the UK population suffers, affecting up to 1.8 million . people. One in 100 suffers an extreme form of the condition that may . require hospitalisation. Celebrity sufferers include socialite Kim . Kardashian and singer Art Garfunkel. Psoriasis can appear at any age . but usually first develops in adults under 40. A third of psoriasis . sufferers go on to develop tenderness, pain and swelling in the joints . and connective tissue, a condition known as psoriatic arthritis. Psoriasis . varies greatly in severity. While some patients suffer only minor . irritation, for others it dramatically reduces quality of life. Depression and low self-esteem are common and psoriasis on the hands or . feet can make many everyday tasks difficult, while psoriatic arthritis . can cause disability. First-line treatment is usually moisturisers, . shampoos and coal-tar preparations while more intense therapies include . steroid drugs, which can have wide-ranging and unpleasant side effects . if used long-term. Ultra-violet light - similar to a sunbed - has . proved effective in a  percentage of patients, though the benefits last . only about six weeks before another course  is needed. Current . treatments for psoriatic arthritis involve injectable drugs that inhibit . tumour necrosis factor (TNF), the substance that triggers the . inflammation  to occur, but carry serious side effects such as nausea, . infections and liver problems. The new treatment works by inhibiting . phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), an enzyme in immune system cells, causing . an anti-inflammatory effect. Clinical trials of 1,500 adults with . active psoriatic arthritis by US drugs company Celgene have shown . Apremilast to be safe and effective, significantly reducing inflammation . and joint pain and swelling compared to a placebo. Few patients (up to two per cent) showed adverse reactions - such as diarrhoea, nausea, weight loss and headache. First-line treatment is usually moisturisers, shampoos and coal-tar preparations . Studies . on psoriasis patients have found that a third experienced a 75 per cent . improvement in skin problems. Kristian Reich of the SCIderm Research . Institute and Dermatologikum in Hamburg, who carried out the study, said . of the drug: 'I see this as a prime candidate for future management of . psoriasis that allows us to treat a range of patients, including more . moderate cases earlier on.' First marketed as Otezla, it was approved . in March for use in America and it is hoped the drug will become . available in Europe later this year. The National Institute for . Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is appraising its use for psoriatic . arthritis, with hopes  that it will eventually also be available for . general psoriasis. One patient keen to try the drug is Robert Hoyle, . 53, an ex-serviceman from Bradford who now works in a warehouse and . fears his condition will progress into psoriatic arthritis. He suffered . minor symptoms in his late 30s but dismissed them as sweat rashes for . years, until psoriasis was eventually diagnosed. His current . treatment is Diprosalic, a thick Vaseline-like substance which he finds . doesn't  rub in easily and has never fully cleared up his skin. 'If . the new drug is as effective as other treatments I've tried  but without . the side effects, I'd happily try it, as would many others I know,' says Robert, who has had to take several months off work over the past . seven years due to the condition. 'The ointments can be messy, . uncomfortable, and time-consuming. A pill that gives relief from the . scaly skin and constant itching would transform my life.'
3% of UK population suffers from psoriasis, affecting up to 1.8 million people . NHS is considering the use of Apremilast in the UK after promising US trials .

'This is a . huge step forward in  potentially treating a much greater  proportion of . people suffering from psoriasis,' says Dr Richard Warren, consultant . dermatologist at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust and The University . of Manchester. 'Many patients are worried about  the serious side . effects associated with existing therapies, and trials suggest this is a . very safe drug that will require minimal monitoring.' Psoriasis is a . common condition in which the immune system produces skin cells too . quickly, leading to a  build-up of scaly pink patches on the elbows, . knees and hands, though they can appear anywhere on the body. About . three per cent of the UK population suffers, affecting up to 1.8 million . people. One in 100 suffers an extreme form of the condition that may . require hospitalisation. Celebrity sufferers include socialite Kim . Kardashian and singer Art Garfunkel. Psoriasis can appear at any age . but usually first develops in adults under 40. A third of psoriasis . sufferers go on to develop tenderness, pain and swelling in the joints . and connective tissue, a condition known as psoriatic arthritis. Psoriasis . varies greatly in severity. While some patients suffer only minor . irritation, for others it dramatically reduces quality of life. Depression and low self-esteem are common and psoriasis on the hands or . feet can make many everyday tasks difficult, while psoriatic arthritis . can cause disability. First-line treatment is usually moisturisers, . shampoos and coal-tar preparations while more intense therapies include . steroid drugs, which can have wide-ranging and unpleasant side effects . if used long-term. Ultra-violet light - similar to a sunbed - has . proved effective in a  percentage of patients, though the benefits last . only about six weeks before another course  is needed. Current . treatments for psoriatic arthritis involve injectable drugs that inhibit . tumour necrosis factor (TNF), the substance that triggers the . inflammation  to occur, but carry serious side effects such as nausea, . infections and liver problems. The new treatment works by inhibiting . phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), an enzyme in immune system cells, causing . an anti-inflammatory effect. Clinical trials of 1,500 adults with . active psoriatic arthritis by US drugs company Celgene have shown . Apremilast to be safe and effective, significantly reducing inflammation . and joint pain and swelling compared to a placebo. Few patients (up to two per cent) showed adverse reactions - such as diarrhoea, nausea, weight loss and headache. First-line treatment is usually moisturisers, shampoos and coal-tar preparations . Studies . on psoriasis patients have found that a third experienced a 75 per cent . improvement in skin problems. Kristian Reich of the SCIderm Research . Institute and Dermatologikum in Hamburg, who carried out the study, said . of the drug: 'I see this as a prime candidate for future management of . psoriasis that allows us to treat a range of patients, including more . moderate cases earlier on.' First marketed as Otezla, it was approved . in March for use in America and it is hoped the drug will become . available in Europe later this year. The National Institute for . Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is appraising its use for psoriatic . arthritis, with hopes  that it will eventually also be available for . general psoriasis. One patient keen to try the drug is Robert Hoyle, . 53, an ex-serviceman from Bradford who now works in a warehouse and . fears his condition will progress into psoriatic arthritis. He suffered . minor symptoms in his late 30s but dismissed them as sweat rashes for . years, until psoriasis was eventually diagnosed. His current . treatment is Diprosalic, a thick Vaseline-like substance which he finds . doesn't  rub in easily and has never fully cleared up his skin. 'If . the new drug is as effective as other treatments I've tried  but without . the side effects, I'd happily try it, as would many others I know,' says Robert, who has had to take several months off work over the past . seven years due to the condition. 'The ointments can be messy, . uncomfortable, and time-consuming. A pill that gives relief from the . scaly skin and constant itching would transform my life.'

(CNN) -- Iran has hanged a man convicted of spying for Israel and also executed another man who was a member of a government opposition group, state-run media reported Tuesday. The executions took place at Tehran's Evin Prison at dawn Tuesday. Ali-Akbar Siadat was sentenced to death for working as a spy for Israeli intelligence. The Islamic Republic News Agency said Siadat admitted to transferring information to Israel over several years in exchange for $60,000. He was arrested in 2008 while trying to leave Iran along with his wife, the news agency said. A second man, Ali Saremi, was hanged for "fighting against the sacred Islamic Republic of Iran system and launching antagonist propagations," the agency reported. He was a member of People's Mujahedeen of Iran, also known as the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization, which has opposed the Iranian government for decades. Tehran considers the group to be a terrorist outfit, as does the United States. The European Union does not. Members of a European Parliament group, Friends of a Free Iran Intergroup, condemned Saremi's execution Tuesday, calling it "another crime for which the mullahs will be held to account when freedom is finally restored to that beleaguered nation." The group also demanded that Iranian leaders "be tried in the International Court of Justice for crimes against humanity." CNN's Mitra Mobasherat contributed to this report.

By . Phil Medlicott, Press Association Sport . Stoke boss Mark Hughes hopes Mame Biram Diouf has returned from his Senegal commitments in decent condition to face Leicester on Saturday. Diouf scored an eye-catching solo effort to steer the Potters to a shock 1-0 Barclays Premier League victory at reigning champions Manchester City on August 30. Since then the forward has been on Senegal duty for African Nations Cup qualifiers at home against Egypt last Friday and then in Botswana on Wednesday. Mark Hughes hopes Mame Biram Diouf has returned from his Senegal commitments in a decent condition . Mame Biram Diouf scored an eye-catching solo effort to steer Stoke to a shock 1-0 win over Manchester City . Having only returned from his considerable travels to Stoke's training ground on Friday, Diouf will not have had a chance to do a session with his team-mates ahead of Saturday's league game. And Hughes said at his pre-match press conference at the Britannia Stadium on Friday afternoon: 'Mame Diouf was walking into the training ground as I left, funnily enough, so I had a chance to speak to him. 'By all accounts he is okay, but we have to make a judgement on him just to see how he is physically, and mentally, in terms of the amount of travelling he has done and how that will affect his approach to the game. 'We will get a feeling for that before the game and then I'll make a decision as to whether he plays or not.' The win against City was Stoke's first in the league of the season following a 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa and then a 1-1 draw at Hull. Hughes has no doubt it is best to head into an international break off the back of a victory, but is frustrated that the domestic hiatus came along when his side were gathering some momentum. 'Obviously the breaks are in the season, you know they are coming and you have to make the best of it,' Hughes said. 'The best way to go into an international break is with a positive result. It is a lot easier to take when you have played well and got maximum points - then everyone goes away in good heart. Mame Biram Diouf scored the only goal as Stoke beat Manchester City 1-0 and they have Leicester next . 'It is slightly different if you have a poor performance, you have been beaten and then all of a sudden people are flying all over the world and you have no time to review what went on or address some of the issues the game brought up. 'So we had the better of that this time having won at Man City, but it is a little bit frustrating for everybody because it is a little bit fragmented at the moment. 'The season needs to get up and running, but after only three games, we are having international breaks.' Hughes nonetheless believes the City victory will have set his players in good stead for the Leicester contest, although he sees the desire to make up for a poor home performance in the Villa match as a greater motivator ahead of Saturday's fixture. Stoke City manager Mark Hughes hopes Mame Biram Diouf will be ready for their Leicester City match . The Welshman said: 'I think we can use (the City game) by saying that is the standard in terms of committing to what we are trying to do. We have set the bar. 'But I think the fact that our last home league game was a little bit flat from our point of view, when there had been a lot of expectation on us before it and on the day Villa were the better team - I think we will use that as more of a motivation than possibly the Man City game for this one.' Winger Oussama Assaidi is in contention to make his 'second debut' for Stoke on Saturday after rejoining on another season-long loan deal from Liverpool on transfer deadline day. Midfielder Stephen Ireland (rib) looks set to miss out along with Geoff Cameron (hernia) and Peter Odemwingie (knee), both of whom have undergone surgery.

By . Ryan Gorman . PUBLISHED: . 23:14 EST, 4 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 14:11 EST, 5 August 2013 . Barring an unfortunate lightning strike, it looks like Alex Rodriguez was right - he will be in the Yankees’ lineup Monday night. Despite multiple reports claiming to confirm Major League Baseball will announce on Monday a 214 game suspension – along with 50 game bans for as many as 15 others – of the tarnished player, Rodriguez will be able to play Monday night. The accused cheater’s plan to appeal the suspension allows for him to be on the field until an arbitrator hears the case. Despite openly defying the league and practically daring MLB Commissioner Bud Selig to ban him for life, Rodriguez is able to appeal because of how the suspension is being handed down. Scroll down for video . What, me worry?: Alex Rodriguez is expected to appeal his suspension allowing him to play until the case is heard by an arbitrator . Expected to be announced at 12pm Monday, Rodriguez’s suspension can be appealed because it will be handled exactly as the other suspensions set to be announced – as part of the joint drug agreement, according to reports. By suspending the slugger, who boasted on Friday that he’d play for the Yankees Monday unless he was ‘struck by lightning,’ in that manner, Selig enables Rodriguez to appeal to an arbitrator under the guidelines of drug testing regime agreed to between the league and the player’s union. A lifetime ban is no longer being considered, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman. Per the JGA, Rodriguez can don the pinstripes until a decision is reached by an arbitrator, allowing him to play Monday night and into the immediate future, at the very least. The Yankees have no choice but to activate the aging slugger if he is ready to play. The teams of all players involved have been notified of their suspensions, according to the New York Daily News. Almost all of the players are expected to accept the suspensions without appeal, the league also notified Yankees that Rodriguez will appeal the suspension, the paper noted. Should an arbitrator side with the league and uphold the suspension in full, it would likely carry into the 2015 season, a risk Rodriguez appears willing to take. Defiant till the bitter end: Rodriguez boasted Friday night that he was going to play for the Yankees Monday unless 'struck by lightning' Something on his mind?: Rodriguez looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders in this photo from the 2009 season . Originally reported to be 12 players, including a few minor leaguers, the total suspended is now expected to be 15, Heyman originally reported Sunday afternoon. It is not known who the three additional players are – but they will not be Oakland A’s pitcher Bartolo Colon, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera or San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal since they were suspended last year for use of performance enhancing drugs. In taking his case to an arbitrator, Rodriguez, 38, will likely try to throw the Yankees – a team that will have paid him over $275million by the end of this season – under a bus for a host of reasons. Rodriguez plans to accuse team doctors of misdiagnosing injuries and the Yankees of mishandling injuries of his as far back as 2009 – which forced him to seek alternatives that would put him back on the field, according to the Daily News. An A-bomb! From A-Rod: Rodriguez watches his towering home run sail over the fence Friday night . Chicks dig the long ball: At least one fan was happy to see Rodriguez during his final rehab game Saturday for the Trenton Thunder . The long-fading star may also point to the fact that the longest suspension served for a PED-related offense since the drug testing program went into effect in 2005 was 100 games after Giants’ pitcher Guillermo Mota’s second positive test. A-Rod has never tested positive for PEDs. Despite the level of vitriol directed at the team, manager Joe Girardi told reporters in San Diego Sunday that he has the accused steroid cheat ‘penciled in’ for Monday. ‘He's in there, and I'm going to play him," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after New York's 6-3 loss at San Diego.’ The three-time MVP brazenly declared Saturday that he’d be flying to Chicago to join the team for Monday’s game, but there are still doubts Rodriguez can play third base on an everyday basis after 20 years in the Major Leagues, especially coming off his second hip surgery. Better times: Rodriguez celebrates as the Yankees clinch the 2009 World Series, his only championship . The honeymoon ended quickly: What started out so promising, quickly became acrimonious as A-Rod's personal life soon became a major distraction for the team . Rodriguez only played a full nine innings once during his most recent rehab stint at Double-A Trenton, and had very few chances in the field. He did hit a two-run home run Friday night, in addition to cleanly fielding the only two chances he had at third, but he only played five innings. The 14-time all-star walked in all four of his plate appearances during his final minor league game Saturday night. Shortly after hitting the home run, Rodriguez went rogue during a post-game news conference. The alleged cheat accused both the Yankees and MLB of conspiring to keep him off the field and void his contract. ‘There is more than one party that benefits from me not ever stepping back on the field. And that's not my teammates and it's not the Yankee fans,’ the tormented slugger said, adding, ‘when all this stuff is going on in the background and people are finding creative ways to cancel your contract and stuff like that, I think that's concerning for me.’ Not everyone is convinced: A fan holds a sign that reads "CHEATER," while Rodriguez signs autographs before a Friday rehab game for Double-A Trenton . Been there, done that: Fans have been holding up signs labeling the beleaguered player a cheater for years, this sign is being held up by a fan in Philadelphia during the 2009 World Series . Though teammates have supported the paranoid pariah’s return to the team while on the record, many reports have them saying off the record that he will be an unnecessary distraction, something Girardi publicly disagreed with. ‘I don't suspect it'll be awkward. Most of these guys know him as a teammate and have laughed a lot with Alex and been around Alex a lot,’ he said. ‘I think it'll be business as usual. I'm sure there will be more media there, obviously, tomorrow, but I think that's probably more for Alex to deal with than the rest of the guys. I don't think it'll be a big deal.’ Big deal or not, A-Rod was right, all signs point to him being in the road greys Monday night against the White Sox, unless he is struck by lightning. Wonder what he was thinking: Rodriguez stares at the ball he hit for his 600th home run in August, 2010 .
A 214 game suspension against Alex Rodriguez is expected to be announced - along with other, lesser bans - Monday afternoon . A-Rod is widely expected to appeal the suspension, clearing the way for him to play until his case is heard by an arbitrator . Rodriguez may blame the team for his use of performance enhancing drugs, saying they mishandled and misdiagnosed injuries since 2009 . Should the arbitrator side with the league, his suspension could continue into the 2015 season if upheld in its entirety .

It is not known who the three additional players are – but they will not be Oakland A’s pitcher Bartolo Colon, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera or San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal since they were suspended last year for use of performance enhancing drugs. In taking his case to an arbitrator, Rodriguez, 38, will likely try to throw the Yankees – a team that will have paid him over $275million by the end of this season – under a bus for a host of reasons. Rodriguez plans to accuse team doctors of misdiagnosing injuries and the Yankees of mishandling injuries of his as far back as 2009 – which forced him to seek alternatives that would put him back on the field, according to the Daily News. An A-bomb! From A-Rod: Rodriguez watches his towering home run sail over the fence Friday night . Chicks dig the long ball: At least one fan was happy to see Rodriguez during his final rehab game Saturday for the Trenton Thunder . The long-fading star may also point to the fact that the longest suspension served for a PED-related offense since the drug testing program went into effect in 2005 was 100 games after Giants’ pitcher Guillermo Mota’s second positive test. A-Rod has never tested positive for PEDs. Despite the level of vitriol directed at the team, manager Joe Girardi told reporters in San Diego Sunday that he has the accused steroid cheat ‘penciled in’ for Monday. ‘He's in there, and I'm going to play him," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after New York's 6-3 loss at San Diego.’ The three-time MVP brazenly declared Saturday that he’d be flying to Chicago to join the team for Monday’s game, but there are still doubts Rodriguez can play third base on an everyday basis after 20 years in the Major Leagues, especially coming off his second hip surgery. Better times: Rodriguez celebrates as the Yankees clinch the 2009 World Series, his only championship . The honeymoon ended quickly: What started out so promising, quickly became acrimonious as A-Rod's personal life soon became a major distraction for the team . Rodriguez only played a full nine innings once during his most recent rehab stint at Double-A Trenton, and had very few chances in the field. He did hit a two-run home run Friday night, in addition to cleanly fielding the only two chances he had at third, but he only played five innings. The 14-time all-star walked in all four of his plate appearances during his final minor league game Saturday night. Shortly after hitting the home run, Rodriguez went rogue during a post-game news conference. The alleged cheat accused both the Yankees and MLB of conspiring to keep him off the field and void his contract. ‘There is more than one party that benefits from me not ever stepping back on the field. And that's not my teammates and it's not the Yankee fans,’ the tormented slugger said, adding, ‘when all this stuff is going on in the background and people are finding creative ways to cancel your contract and stuff like that, I think that's concerning for me.’ Not everyone is convinced: A fan holds a sign that reads "CHEATER," while Rodriguez signs autographs before a Friday rehab game for Double-A Trenton . Been there, done that: Fans have been holding up signs labeling the beleaguered player a cheater for years, this sign is being held up by a fan in Philadelphia during the 2009 World Series . Though teammates have supported the paranoid pariah’s return to the team while on the record, many reports have them saying off the record that he will be an unnecessary distraction, something Girardi publicly disagreed with. ‘I don't suspect it'll be awkward. Most of these guys know him as a teammate and have laughed a lot with Alex and been around Alex a lot,’ he said. ‘I think it'll be business as usual. I'm sure there will be more media there, obviously, tomorrow, but I think that's probably more for Alex to deal with than the rest of the guys. I don't think it'll be a big deal.’ Big deal or not, A-Rod was right, all signs point to him being in the road greys Monday night against the White Sox, unless he is struck by lightning. Wonder what he was thinking: Rodriguez stares at the ball he hit for his 600th home run in August, 2010 .

New Delhi, India (CNN) -- India and Pakistan traded bitter accusations Wednesday after New Delhi said Pakistani troops had killed two of its soldiers in the disputed territory of Kashmir, a flash point between the two nations since their creation. Indian Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai summoned the Pakistani High Commissioner and "lodged a strong protest" about what India alleges took place Tuesday, increasing the strain on ties between the two nuclear-armed neighbors. But Pakistan reiterated its denial of the accusations, saying India was trying to distract attention from a weekend clash in the Himalayan territory that left a Pakistani soldier dead. India asserts that Pakistani troops took advantage of thick fog in a wooded area on Tuesday to cross over to its side of the Line of Control, the de facto border between the two nations in Kashmir. The Indian military says one of its routine patrols spotted the Pakistani troops in the Mendhar sector of Poonch district, and a firefight lasting about 30 minutes ensued, during which two Indian soldiers were killed. The Indian government on Wednesday accused Pakistani troops of subjecting the two soldiers' bodies to "barbaric and inhuman mutilation," calling the alleged actions "highly provocative." Read more: Fire destroys historic shrine, triggers anger in Kashmir . The Pakistani foreign ministry rejected the allegations that its troops had crossed the Line of Control and killed Indian soldiers. "These are baseless and unfounded allegations," the foreign ministry said. "Pakistan is prepared to hold investigations through the United Nations Military Observes Group for India and Pakistan on the recent cease-fire violations on the Line of Control." Pakistan said it is committed to "a constructive, sustained and result-oriented process of engagement with India," and is working to ensure their relations are normal. Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid urged his compatriots to keep cool heads despite widespread outrage about the reported attack on the Indian soldiers. While noting "enormous concern among ordinary people" and a "tremendous amount of stress" in the government, he said Wednesday, "I think it's important that we remain in control of the situation and we don't allow emotions to run away with the situation." Speaking in an interview with CNN affiliate IBN, Khurshid said it was necessary to wait for Pakistan's formal response to India's diplomatic protest. In the Sunday clash, according to the Pakistani military, Indian troops crossed the Line of Control and attacked a military post. Pakistani army troops repulsed the attack, but one Pakistani soldier was killed and another critically injured, Pakistan said. The Indian Defense Ministry, however, said Pakistani troops opened fire unprovoked on Indian posts in the north Uri sector of Indian-administered Kashmir. Indian troops retaliated and forced Pakistani troops to stop firing, the ministry said. It did not immediately report the number of casualties. The disputed territory lies in India's Kashmir Valley, separated from Pakistan by the 450-mile Line of Control. The Pakistani army filed a formal complaint over Sunday's incident with United Nations military observers, said Kieran Dwyer, spokesman for the agency's peacekeeping operations. The U.N. group will conduct an investigation. No complaint had been filed by either army over Tuesday's incident. U.N. officials urged "both sides to respect the cease-fire and de-escalate tensions through dialogue," Dwyer said. Read more: South Asian rivals take baby steps to warmer relations . The two South Asian neighbors have had a cease-fire along the de facto border since November 2003. But it has been violated repeatedly, with both sides accusing the other of offenses. Bilateral talks were suspended in 2008 after an attack by Pakistani militants in Mumbai, India's most populous city, killed more than 160 people. The negotiations have since resumed. Read more: 2 police officers killed in Kashmir attacks . The conflict over Kashmir dates back to 1947, after Britain relinquished control of the Indian subcontinent, giving birth to modern India and Pakistan. Kashmir was free to accede to either nation.

In exchange, India guaranteed him military protection and vowed to hold a popular vote on the issue. Read more: Pakistani Taliban threaten to target India after execution of Mumbai attacker . The South Asian rivals have fought two full-scale wars over the territorial issue. Islamabad has always said that majority-Muslim Kashmir should have been a part of Pakistan. A United Nations resolution adopted after the first war called for a referendum allowing the people of Kashmir to choose which country they wanted to join, but that vote for self-determination has never been held. Pakistan wants that referendum to take place. India says that Pakistan lends support to separatist groups fighting against government control and argues that a 1972 agreement mandates a resolution to the Kashmir dispute through bilateral talks. CNN's Harmeet Shah Singh reported from New Delhi, and journalist Habib Nasir reported from Islamabad, Pakistan.

(CNN) -- Two catchphrases have dominated stories about women in the election cycle this year: "the war on women" and "having it all." It is time to change the conversation. Women are the voters most likely to matter on November 6 -- they make up the majority of undecided voters and they outvote men. But to win women's votes, Mitt Romney and President Obama must talk about what really matters to them. I know something about that from my students. The young women in my classes look to the future and want to know how to create workable lives for their families. They know about the pay gap. They know their earnings will matter to their families. They know their mothers are often starved for time. "How are we supposed to do it?" they ask, over and over. We have not been giving them good answers. Undoubtedly, the issues raised in claims about a "war on women" and the difficulty of "having it all" are important. But those arguments don't fully address my students' questions. In order for the candidates to speak directly to women, they need to talk about jobs, but not just any jobs.  What matters are good jobs that make family lives sustainable. Pay equity is the tip of the iceberg. Consider this from the Center for American Progress: Including all workers, the median full-time female worker earned $10,784 less in 2010 than the median full-time male worker. Over a 40-year career, that wage gap adds up to more than $400,000. This pay discrepancy affects the economic well-being of American households. Women comprise two-thirds of American family breadwinners and co-breadwinners. Inequality in pay means families have less money for quality child care, less education, fewer doctor visits and more scrambling to make ends meet, year in and year out. It's not just households and family life that suffer. So does the economy. Studies confirm that stretched workers mean lower productivity. But pay alone won't make the difference. All workers have family responsibilities. When women ask about fair pay, they are also asking about how to get jobs that make it possible to take a sick child to the doctor. They are asking about how to make sure fathers can get away from work early enough to make dinner, too. Flexibility is a universal concern for American workers, not simply a women's issue. As President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers reported in 2009, workplace flexibility increases productivity and reduces turnover and absenteeism. It's good for the economy, and good for families. A Reuters poll this month showed that women make up 54% of the undecided voters and their No.1 concern is family well-being. Contraception and reproductive rights, of course, matter a great deal to female voters. But if that's the only issue the candidates talk about, they ignore the worries that women wake up to every morning as they hustle children through bowls of cereal and pile out the door to work. Here is what the candidates can do: . First, fight for the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would expand 1963's Equal Pay Act and make it easier for women to compare their pay with that of fellow workers. Paycheck Fairness was blocked this year in Congress; it needs to be reintroduced. In our service economy, women still dominate in the lowest-paid jobs. Because women's pay has become more and more essential to their families, those historic inequities matter more and more. Second, fight for workplace flexibility. Family responsibilities burden all workers, men as well as women, regardless of pay. This is a social and economic reality that the nation must face. America needs leaders who will drag our workplaces out of the 1950s and into the 21st century. Finally, support paid sick days nationwide. Forty percent of the people in the work force do not have paid sick days, which puts them in danger of losing their jobs when they are sick; millions more cannot take sick days to care for their children. Support for the Healthy Families Act before Congress is critical. This legislation would grant workers up to seven job-protected paid sick days each year, to use not just when they are ill, but for helping sick family members and preventive care. There is still time, but not much, for me to tell my students that the candidates have some answers to their questions. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Kirsten Swinth.
Kirsten Swinth: Time to go beyond catchphrases "war on women" and "having it all" Women's votes are crucial for both candidates, she says, but they need to talk about jobs .

(CNN) -- Social media sites have evolved into the global equivalent of the office watercooler, but could the buzz they generate be analyzed to predict real-world outcomes? Leading British economist Noreena Hertz thinks so. She believes analyzing the chatter from Twitter and Facebook for example, will become a dominant force in the business of forecasting. "Over the past few years I have been really quite obsessed with how technology is changing the way that we make sense of the world," she told CNN at Names not Numbers, an idea-sharing and networking conference in the UK. Read more: Facebook's new Graph Search tool . Last year, Hertz carried out an experiment to demonstrate the power of social networks as a tool for better understanding human behavior. "I was really interested to see whether we could make predictions or forecasts by listening in on what people were saying on social media. Because, if we could improve upon the political forecasts; if we could improve upon sales forecasts by listening in on people's chatter on Twitter, Facebook, those sorts of media, that would be a really exciting prospect.," she said. Her and a team of computer scientists, sociologists, and economists worked together to develop a method of research that they hoped would enable them to predict the winner of talent contest "The X Factor". By developing a sophisticated algorithm, the team effectively "listened in" on hundreds of thousands of tweets at once and deduced not just the number and subject of messages but also, for the first time, the sentiment. In doing so they were able to make an accurate guess about who would stay and go each week. "We were pretty much beating the bookies," she said. Read more: Facebook 'likes' can reveal your secrets, study finds . Hertz has made a career out of challenging the predictive powers of traditional forecasting models, which she says are far from perfect. After all, she says, analysts in the Middle East failed to predict the Arab Spring and very few experts saw the financial meltdown coming -- something she did three years before in her book "IOU: The Debt Threat". An influential economist, Hertz has a knack for prescience that has put her ahead of the curve among her peers. Her work is all about conducting research that gives raw data some context. It's about understanding the culture, language and psychology of social media users, which, she says, has huge implications for both business and government.

Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- Social media sites have evolved into the global equivalent of the office watercooler, but could the buzz they generate be analyzed to predict real-world outcomes? Leading British economist Noreena Hertz thinks so. She believes analyzing the chatter from Twitter and Facebook for example, will become a dominant force in the business of forecasting. "Over the past few years I have been really quite obsessed with how technology is changing the way that we make sense of the world," she told CNN at Names not Numbers, an idea-sharing and networking conference in the UK. Read more: Facebook's new Graph Search tool . Last year, Hertz carried out an experiment to demonstrate the power of social networks as a tool for better understanding human behavior. "I was really interested to see whether we could make predictions or forecasts by listening in on what people were saying on social media. Because, if we could improve upon the political forecasts; if we could improve upon sales forecasts by listening in on people's chatter on Twitter, Facebook, those sorts of media, that would be a really exciting prospect.," she said. Her and a team of computer scientists, sociologists, and economists worked together to develop a method of research that they hoped would enable them to predict the winner of talent contest "The X Factor". By developing a sophisticated algorithm, the team effectively "listened in" on hundreds of thousands of tweets at once and deduced not just the number and subject of messages but also, for the first time, the sentiment. In doing so they were able to make an accurate guess about who would stay and go each week. "We were pretty much beating the bookies," she said.

Hertz has made a career out of challenging the predictive powers of traditional forecasting models, which she says are far from perfect. After all, she says, analysts in the Middle East failed to predict the Arab Spring and very few experts saw the financial meltdown coming -- something she did three years before in her book "IOU: The Debt Threat". An influential economist, Hertz has a knack for prescience that has put her ahead of the curve among her peers. Her work is all about conducting research that gives raw data some context. It's about understanding the culture, language and psychology of social media users, which, she says, has huge implications for both business and government. Under her school of her thought, in order for social media marketing to have any real value we need to understand what people's actions really mean. "If somebody tweets 'I like Coca-Cola', does that mean that they're actually going to buy Coca-Cola? One can? Two cans? Three cans?

Britain will become more involved in the battle against Islamic State militants, but ground troops will not be deployed into Iraq and Syria, the Defence Secretary said today. Michael Fallon said the UK's involvement against IS fighters in Iraq will continue to be in a supportive role, by RAF planes taking part in air strikes, and helping to arm Kurdish troops. The Defence Secretary said western countries had learned from previous conflicts that the war against Isis would only be won by 'home troops', but that Britain and the U.S. can support them. Defence Secretary: Michael Fallon said the UK's involvement against IS fighters in Iraq will continue to be in a supportive role, by RAF planes taking part in air strikes, and helping to arm Kurdish troops . His comments come after Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, admitted there was nothing the international coalition fighting IS militants can do to make a fundamental difference in the battle for the strategically important Syrian town of Kobane. IS is threatening to overrun the lightly-armed Kurdish defenders of the town, which is close to the border with Turkey, despite United States air strikes on the extremists' position. The battle has sparked major protests in Turkey against its government's perceived inaction and US secretary of state John Kerry said he was deeply concerned about the situation. Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, Mr Fallon said neighbouring countries had a duty to stop Iraq and Syria 'falling apart', but stopped short of urging Turkey to get involved in the conflict. 'Turkey could help, but it's a matter for Turkey,' he said. 'Other allies have been helping, from the south Gulf countries and Saudi Arabia were helping with strikes. Strike: A picture taken from Turkey shows smoke rising after an airstrike, thought to have been carried out by a coalition plane on Islamic State targets in the west of Kobane, Syria . Fear: IS is threatening to overrun the lightly-armed Kurdish defenders of the town, which is close to the border with Turkey, despite United States air strikes on the extremists' position . 'This is a situation that can not be resolved by America and Britain. We'd like Turkey to be involved, but it's a decision for their government.' Mr Fallon said there had been talks with the Turkish government, and that Ankara is 'very aware' of the 'desperate' situation in Kobane. 'They will have to see whether they can help more,' he said. He added: 'Every country has its own position and comes to this from its own position. They have had difficulty with Kurdish extremism in the past, such as hostages. 'Every country in the region has got to see what it can contribute against ISIL or we will have Iraq falling apart and Syria falling apart and that's a danger for the entire region.' Mr Fallon said that it was in Britain's interest for Iraq and Syria not to collapse at the hands of IS, but said the Armed Forces would continue to act in a supportive role. Plight: Newly-arrived Syrian Kurdish refugees carry their belongings after crossing into Turkey from Kobane . 'There is a very direct British interest in making sure the Middle East does not fall apart, and that terrorism is not exported back to Western Europe,' he said. 'The legitimate government in Iraq will have asked for help, I don't think it would be right for Britain with its air power and other resources to stand apart and leave it to the Bahrainis or the Americans.' He added: 'We're not portraying ourselves as the saviours of the Middle East, we are helping.' Mr Fallon said ground forces would ultimately be the ones to push back IS, but maintained that British soldiers would not be involved in this. 'This can only be won in the end by ground forces, but it can only be won by the home army not an army from the West. 'That is the hard lesson we have learned. 'We can stiffen up the army, supply ammunition to Kurdish forces and use air power to provide support for operations on the ground. Help: A RAF Tornado GR4 returns to Akrotiri in Cyprus following an afternoon armed mission to Iraq . Air power: Mr Fallon said RAF flights have been flying on missions out of Akrotiri 'every day and night' 'We can help, and we should help. 'We have got to keep reviewing the campaign. At the moment we are here at the request of the Iraqi government and air power is a key part of that, as is stiffening up the Iraqi army and making sure it is properly equipped.' Mr Fallon also said British action would continue to focus on Iraq, rather than Syria. 'We have made it clear that ISIS has to be defeated in Syria and Iraq but we don't have the authority to support in Syria at the moment. 'There is plenty for us to do in Iraq and the RAF are flying missions every day and night. There is plenty for us to be getting on with in Iraq and pressure from ISIL is coming from bases in Syria. That's why we welcome what America is doing there.' He added: 'If we find there is a contribution we can make in Syria and it is lawful we can do it, but at the moment we don't have the authority from Parliament.' Asked if Britain would become more involved in the fight against IS militants he said: 'This is the international community's fight and the collapse of Iraq, or if Syria gets worse, that will affect us all. 'There could be terrorist strikes across Western Europe as (IS fighters) are returning to countries as far apart as Norway and Australia.' Mr Fallon said the proposal for a Turkish 'buffer zone' along the border inside Syria where refugees fleeing the fighting could be protected was being considered. He said that US special envoy to Syria, former general John Allen, would be holding talks with the Turkish government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to establish what contribution Ankara would make to the coalition. Foreign Secretary: Philip Hammond admitted that the coalition's focus on air strikes meant there was nothing it could do to make a fundamental difference in the battle for Kobani and acknowledged the town could fall to IS . 'We have the air power to help with it,' he said. 'That's something General Allen is discussing with the Turkish government today. Last night, Mr Hammond admitted that the coalition's focus on air strikes meant there was nothing it could do to make a fundamental difference in the battle for Kobani and acknowledged the town could fall to IS. He told BBC Radio 4's The World Tonight: 'The US has implemented some additional air strikes to try and help the people who are defending Kobani but it is a very difficult situation on the ground and we have never envisaged that the coalition's intervention with air power in this battle was going to turn the tide in the short term. 'We have got to degrade ISIL's military capability over time, that isn't going to happen overnight. 'So I don't want to suggest that there is anything readily that the coalition can do that will make a fundamental difference on the ground in this battle, in the tactical situation that's faced around Kobani.' He said: 'Self evidently it could fall. The Americans are committed to doing what they can to support the defence the town with additional air strikes. Cautious: US secretary of state John Kerry (right) and Mr Hammond (left) have reacted cautiously to a Turkish proposal to establish a 'buffer zone' 'But this is a long struggle here against a poisonous ideology and an organisation which has built up some very significant military capabilities. 'Although we the coalition are confident that we will win that strategic battle we cannot say with confidence that we will be able to win any specific tactical engagement.' Both Mr Kerry and Mr Hammond have reacted cautiously to a Turkish proposal to establish a 'buffer zone'. 'If Syrian citizens can return to Syria and be protected in an area across the border there's a lot that would commend that,' he said. 'But at the same time you'd have to guarantee safety, guarantee there wouldn't be attacks by the government. 'It needs a thorough examination.' Mr Hammond added: 'We would have to explore with other allies and partners what is meant by a buffer zone, how such a concept would work, but I certainly wouldn't want to rule it out at this stage.' Meanwhile, the Foreign Secretary sought to reassure the US that Britain would be prepared to join air strikes on Is militants in Syria, if requested by American commanders. Mr Hammond indicated ministers would be prepared to go back to Parliament to seek permission to extend British military action into Syria if US Central Command (Centcom) considered it 'militarily useful'. 'We absolutely have not ruled out playing a role in Syria,' he said. 'We will require further parliamentary approval if we decide that that is the right thing for us to do. 'We would see this as a military question - is there a militarily useful role that UK assets could play. 'If Centcom commanders see a specific role for UK military assets I am sure that they will not be slow in requesting them.'

(CNN) -- Overwhelmed doctors frantically scurried over the weekend to help scores of patients left "dying on the floor" amid a punishing air assault on the northern Syrian city of Aleppo. "There was a big massacre today," Dr. Ammar Zakaria told CNN via Skype on Sunday from the country's largest city and rebel stronghold. "We were treating shrapnel wounds, deep abdominal and brain injuries. I just lost count of the amputations." The Syrian government continued to relentlessly fire on rebel-held sections of the city after days of continued air raids. The city has been targeted for more than a week by helicopters carrying so-called barrel bombs -- drums packed with explosives and shrapnel. The bombs can level entire buildings with one hit. "A lot of victims died before arriving to the hospital. Many were inside the hospital, and we didn't have the resources to help all the cases," added Zakaria, detailing the bloody aftermath. "We didn't have enough beds to help them all. People were dying on the floor." With medical supplies spread thin, each anxiety-filled second was spent suturing the fine line between life and death. Images taken by Zakaria show a mangled ambulance stopped in its path and doctors operating in pools of blood, watching children cling to their last breath through a breathing tube. "In Aleppo, there is a huge influx of wounded in local hospitals ... less and less security and more bombing on civilian areas," Simon Schorno, Syria spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, told CNN by phone from Damascus. The Syrian government said the operations are targeting "terrorist groups" in neighborhoods of Aleppo, saying "scores of terrorists were killed and others were wounded," according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency. Hundreds have been killed since the bombing began. At least half a million people have been wounded across the country, and millions remain displaced and tens of thousands detained, according to the ICRC. On Sunday alone, 166 people were killed across the country, 92 in Aleppo, according to the opposition Local Coordination Committees in Syria. CNN cannot independently verify daily death tolls, but the United Nations says more than 100,000 people have been killed in Syria since 2011. "Supplies of food and other basic necessities are running dangerously short, especially in besieged areas," said Magne Barth, head of the ICRC delegation in Syria. Schorno described difficult conditions for delivering aid. "We don't get the necessary authorizations to get in. The government needs to green-light our movements through the checkpoints and we have to go in on foot, and we cannot do that under current conditions," Schorno added. The death toll continues to mount as misery for the millions of displaced is exacerbated by the record cold temperatures across the Middle East. The hospital has become home for many Syrian doctors like Zakaria. "We live in the hospitals because we cannot expect the timing of the shelling; we have to be ready all the time."

Teenage winger Callum Lancaster grabbed two tries as Hull eased back to winning ways with a 50-12 victory over the 12-man Broncos in London. Lancaster, 17, bagged a try in each half on just his second senior appearance as the Black and Whites sentenced the Londoners, who had Scott Moore dismissed just before the break, to their 15th successive Super League defeat. Joe Westerman also added a brace for Hull, who outscored their opponents nine tries to two in a largely one-sided encounter. Starring role: Callum Lancaster, left, scored two tries for Hull as they thrashed London Broncos . Ahead of kick-off, Nesiasi Mataitonga moved from full-back to a first start at stand-off for the hosts, while James Greenwood replaced Olsi Krasniqi at prop. Hull made two changes of their own, Ben Crooks and Chris Tuson coming in for former Bronco Liam Colbon and Dean Hadley respectively. Despite putting London to the sword 40-4 on their own turf five weeks ago, Hull entered the contest on the back of four straight defeats. And they were on the back foot here within six minutes, Greenwood charging down Jordan Rankin's clearing kick and flopping over the line for the opening score. Hull were mightily close to hauling themselves level when Mason Caton-Brown hauled down Crooks as he looked to cross in the corner. But the reprieve proved temporary for the home side as Mataitonga's spill was seized on by Gareth Ellis, who cantered over the line on 12 minutes to help level the scores. Dismissed: Scott Moore (L) of London was red carded for a dangerous arm swinging tackle on Callum Lancaster . It was real end-to-end stuff, with London's Denny Solomona and Hull's Lancaster both having tries chalked off for forward passes. Lancaster was not to be denied on 22 minutes though, taking a pass from Kirk Yeaman to ease in at the corner. Hull were growing in stature, with the Londoners being forced back thanks to a string of penalties. And the Black and Whites cashed in one such infringement for their third try, Westerman stepping inside and out to rumble over the line from close range. Handling errors were continuing to dog the Broncos, and, after the hosts once again knocked on in their own territory, Jamie Shaul raced in at the corner after a flowing handling move involving Crooks and Yeaman to help make it 22-6. Much-needed: The win ended a run of four successive defeats for Hull and continued London Broncos' misery . Things went from bad to worse for London moments later, with hooker Moore seeing red after a hit on Lancaster. To their credit, London emerged fired up for the second half, despite being consistently penalised by referee George Stokes. And the Broncos converted that tempo into points when Caton-Brown powered over after a short pass from George Griffin on 47 minutes. Hull, having really taken their foot off the gas, finally sprang back into life midway through the half, Liam Watts breaking the London defence and offloading for Danny Houghton to cruise over. The visitors were on the front foot again, Lancaster close to claiming his second score when his lunge for the line came up inches short. But a sixth try did come for Hull on 66 minutes, Westerman notching his second when he shrugged off weak Broncos tackling to stride over. By now it was a case of how many tries Hull would run in, and Lancaster got his name on the scoresheet again when Yeaman's pass gave him a free run to the corner. There was still time for Hull to run in two further late tries, Rankin and Fetuli Talanoa crossing after good work from Shaul and Jacob Miller respectively. Rock bottom: That defeat leaves Broncos anchored to the foot of the Super League but Hull move to 10th .
Hull end four-game losing streak in style with thumping win . London Broncos remain rooted to bottom of Super League . Callum Lancaster scores two tries on second senior appearance for Hull . Scott Moore sent off for Broncos as they lose 15th successive league game .

Starring role: Callum Lancaster, left, scored two tries for Hull as they thrashed London Broncos . Ahead of kick-off, Nesiasi Mataitonga moved from full-back to a first start at stand-off for the hosts, while James Greenwood replaced Olsi Krasniqi at prop. Hull made two changes of their own, Ben Crooks and Chris Tuson coming in for former Bronco Liam Colbon and Dean Hadley respectively. Despite putting London to the sword 40-4 on their own turf five weeks ago, Hull entered the contest on the back of four straight defeats. And they were on the back foot here within six minutes, Greenwood charging down Jordan Rankin's clearing kick and flopping over the line for the opening score. Hull were mightily close to hauling themselves level when Mason Caton-Brown hauled down Crooks as he looked to cross in the corner. But the reprieve proved temporary for the home side as Mataitonga's spill was seized on by Gareth Ellis, who cantered over the line on 12 minutes to help level the scores. Dismissed: Scott Moore (L) of London was red carded for a dangerous arm swinging tackle on Callum Lancaster . It was real end-to-end stuff, with London's Denny Solomona and Hull's Lancaster both having tries chalked off for forward passes. Lancaster was not to be denied on 22 minutes though, taking a pass from Kirk Yeaman to ease in at the corner. Hull were growing in stature, with the Londoners being forced back thanks to a string of penalties. And the Black and Whites cashed in one such infringement for their third try, Westerman stepping inside and out to rumble over the line from close range. Handling errors were continuing to dog the Broncos, and, after the hosts once again knocked on in their own territory, Jamie Shaul raced in at the corner after a flowing handling move involving Crooks and Yeaman to help make it 22-6. Much-needed: The win ended a run of four successive defeats for Hull and continued London Broncos' misery . Things went from bad to worse for London moments later, with hooker Moore seeing red after a hit on Lancaster. To their credit, London emerged fired up for the second half, despite being consistently penalised by referee George Stokes. And the Broncos converted that tempo into points when Caton-Brown powered over after a short pass from George Griffin on 47 minutes. Hull, having really taken their foot off the gas, finally sprang back into life midway through the half, Liam Watts breaking the London defence and offloading for Danny Houghton to cruise over. The visitors were on the front foot again, Lancaster close to claiming his second score when his lunge for the line came up inches short. But a sixth try did come for Hull on 66 minutes, Westerman notching his second when he shrugged off weak Broncos tackling to stride over. By now it was a case of how many tries Hull would run in, and Lancaster got his name on the scoresheet again when Yeaman's pass gave him a free run to the corner. There was still time for Hull to run in two further late tries, Rankin and Fetuli Talanoa crossing after good work from Shaul and Jacob Miller respectively. Rock bottom: That defeat leaves Broncos anchored to the foot of the Super League but Hull move to 10th .

(CNN) -- A Tennessee man was executed Wednesday for the death of a couple in 1985, authorities said. Steve Henley, 55, was executed by lethal injection at 1:33 a.m. ET. Henley was sentenced to death for the slayings of Fred and Edna Stafford. Authorities said Henley shot the couple and later set their farmhouse on fire. An autopsy found that Edna Stafford was still alive when the fire was set, according to authorities. Henley had maintained his innocence, blaming the couple's deaths on co-defendant Terry Flatt. Flatt testified that Henley was drunk, high on drugs and angry over a debt he believed the Staffords owed his grandparents. Flatt served five years in prison before completing his parole last year. The U.S. Supreme Court denied Henley's appeal late Tuesday. Tennessee last performed its execution in September 2007. In February 2007, the state put executions on hold when Gov. Phil Bredesen ordered a review of how Tennessee administered the death penalty. The moratorium was lifted in May 2007 after the state's death-penalty protocols were revised.

Occasional wine drinkers will be saying cheers to a new gadget designed to prevent opened bottles from going off. The revolutionary device, which goes on sale for £269 today, pierces corks using an ultra-thin needle which wine can then be poured through. This prevents air getting into the bottle and stops the wine from going off, meaning drinkers can enjoy a glass or two of their favourite tipple without having to polish off the whole lot. Scroll down for video . The new Coravin 1000 gadget pierces the cork of a wine bottle without taking it out completely meaning that drinkers can keep a bottle of wine fresh for months . The Coravin 1000, which can be used on all wines apart from sparkling types, replaces the void left by the poured wine with argon, an inert gas that has no effect on taste or smell. Once the needle is removed the pressure on the cork closes the hole back up, protecting the leftover wine from oxidation. Manufacturers of the device say drinkers can still be enjoying wine from the same bottle months after it was first opened. The only downside is that it takes 25 seconds to pour each glass of wine using the needle. The drinks gizmo is the product of American entrepreneur and wine enthusiast Greg Lambrecht. Being the first of its kind the innovative design yields a rather high price tag, going on sale today at Harrods for £269. Mr Lambrecht, 45, from New York, says that it was his own passion for wine that drove him to create the Coravin. The cutting edge gadget replaces the void left by the poured wine with argon, an inert gas that has no effect on taste . 'It was inspired by my love of wine and the never-ending discovery in taste and aroma that it provides. 'My dream was to magically pour wine from bottles without ever pulling the cork. The remaining wine could then go back in my cellar, so that I could enjoy it again whenever I wanted.' Mr Lambrecht is thrilled with the final result but admits that it has been a long time coming, with the device taking him ten years to develop. 'What followed was a decade of development and testing until I had a system that left the cork in place, but still delivered great glasses of wine, indistinguishable from untouched bottles. 'For the first time, wine enthusiasts are able to enjoy wine by the glass without committing to the whole bottle, enabling you to enjoy your wine glass by glass, weeks or months later,' he added. Greg Lambrecht, the inventor says that he believes that the device could be used at home as well as in restaurant and bars . For Mt Lambrekt his design is a complete necessity and he expects to see it in both domestic and commercial situations. 'The Coravin System is for both consumers at home, as well as businesses such as restaurants, wine shops, wineries and wine bars.' The American creative believes that his invention could revolutionise wine tasting: 'The Coravin System allows wine enthusiasts to expand their palates by comparing, contrasting and tasting across multiple bottles at a time. 'Anyone who enjoys wine will be able to get more creative with their food and wine pairings, and be able to enjoy finer wines by the glass at any time,' he said. .
The Coravin preserves bottles of wine for months after they've been opened . It pierces a hole in the cork allowing the drink to be poured but kept fresh . Drinkers have to be patient as a glass takes 25 seconds to pour . The device goes on sale in Harrods today for £269 .

A San Francisco 49ers player who was blasted by fans and his own team after a homophobic tirade on radio has issued a bizarre apology, claiming the comments were a 'reflection of thoughts in my head' but not representative of how he feels. Chris Culliver, a cornerback with the 49ers, made the startling remarks during a radio interview this week with comedian and radio host Artie Lange - days before Sunday's Super Bowl. During a strange line of questioning, Lange asked the 24-year-old: 'Do any gay guys approach you?' Unwelcoming: San Francisco 49ers' Chris Culliver went on a anti-gay rant during a radio interview this week . On the radio: Culliver made the comments in an interview with radio host and comedian Artie Lange this week . Without so much as a pause to even think about the question, Culliver shoots back: 'I don't do the gay guys man. I don't do that.' When asked if he believed there were any gay players on the 49ers roster, Culliver responded: 'No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do. He added: 'Can't be with that sweet stuff... Can't be... in the locker room man. Nah.' 'OK, so they'd have to keep it a secret?' Lange asks. Player: Culliver is in his second season with the 49ers, who face off against the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl on Sunday . Culliver responds: 'Yeah, you gotta come out 10 years later after [retirement].' A clip of the interview appeared on Yahoo! Sports. The comments were immediately met with outrage from gay rights groups, 49ers fans and Culliver's bosses and teammates. Later on Wednesday, the player backtracked, issuing a nonsensical statement of apology, blaming his behavior on the thoughts in his head. 'The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel,' he said. 'It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience.' Lange admitted that he asked about gay players in a 'goofy' barrage 'where I'm asking all sorts of stupid questions.' Just days before the 49ers take on the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl, Culliver's comments outraged the team's fans. The team’s Facebook page was flooded with comments, telling the team to 'dump Chris Culliver' and  'hope Chris Culiver (sic) gets hurt and cannot ever play again.' Facebook user Janice Weir wrote: 'Chris Culliver not only needs to be recognized as an ignorant homophobe, but also as completely inarticulate and an embarrassment for both San Francisco and for the University of South Carolina.' While another, Brandon Hall, simply said in a comment: 'What Chris Culliver said disgusts me.' In a statement on Wednesday, the team said: 'The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made yesterday, and have addressed the matter with Chris.' 'There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community.' Outcry: Fans flooded the 49ers Facebook page to air their opinions and tell the team what they should do about Culliver . An advocacy group for gay athletes . called the Last Closet said in a statement to sfgate.com that homophobia . was still rife in professional sports. 'Culliver's comments are a perfect . example of why there needs to be more discussion amongst the sports . hierarchy about how to combat homophobia,' the statement read. While the gay community may be up in arms over Culliver’s comments, they have a friend on the opposing team. Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo has long been a supporter of gay rights and same-sex marriage, and said that he would use the Super Bowl spotlight to promote bullying awareness. The progressive player told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday that the issue of gay marriage is 'a little off the beaten path, but it's an issue that affects everybody.' He said he has battled with acceptance coming from a biracial family and that gay people battling for equal rights is similar. 'It's all the same to me,' he said. 'It's the evolution in our society about acceptance. We don't want kids to be deterred from sports. I believe you're born the way you're born.' In the history of the NFL, there has never been a player who has come out as gay during his career, though several have after their retirement. Last year, former 49er Kwame Harris was arrested for allegedly assaulting a former boyfriend in Menlo Park, California. Until then, Harris was extremely private about his sexual orientation.

Outcry: Fans flooded the 49ers Facebook page to air their opinions and tell the team what they should do about Culliver . An advocacy group for gay athletes . called the Last Closet said in a statement to sfgate.com that homophobia . was still rife in professional sports. 'Culliver's comments are a perfect . example of why there needs to be more discussion amongst the sports . hierarchy about how to combat homophobia,' the statement read. While the gay community may be up in arms over Culliver’s comments, they have a friend on the opposing team. Baltimore Ravens linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo has long been a supporter of gay rights and same-sex marriage, and said that he would use the Super Bowl spotlight to promote bullying awareness. The progressive player told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday that the issue of gay marriage is 'a little off the beaten path, but it's an issue that affects everybody.' He said he has battled with acceptance coming from a biracial family and that gay people battling for equal rights is similar. 'It's all the same to me,' he said. 'It's the evolution in our society about acceptance. We don't want kids to be deterred from sports. I believe you're born the way you're born.' In the history of the NFL, there has never been a player who has come out as gay during his career, though several have after their retirement. Last year, former 49er Kwame Harris was arrested for allegedly assaulting a former boyfriend in Menlo Park, California. Until then, Harris was extremely private about his sexual orientation.

(CNN) -- An election-year Democratic measure designed to ensure that women don't face pay discrimination was blocked Tuesday by Republicans who complained that the bill was politically inspired and would reward trial lawyers at the expense of employers. The motion, which needed 60 votes to succeed, got only 52, not one from a Republican. President Obama issued a statement criticizing Republicans for putting "partisan politics ahead of American women and families." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, standing at a news conference with pay equity advocate Lilly Ledbetter, accused Republicans of "wanting to stick their heads in the sand" about the longstanding issue of women being paid less than men. "But it's clear where Democrats stand," Reid said. The bill, which Democrats said would close loopholes in the 1963 Equal Pay Act, would require employers to prove that differences in pay were related to job performance, not gender; would prevent employers from forbidding employees from sharing salary information with each other; and would allow women who believe they were discriminated against to sue for damages. Democrats acknowledged privately that they expected to make political gains with women by pressing to close the pay gap, which they said has women earning just 77 cents on the dollar compared with men. Republicans, fearful that Democrats were trying to portray them as insensitive to women, argued that they oppose pay discrimination but disagree with the Democrats' bill, which was written without their input. Republicans remained largely silent about the issue in the days leading up to the vote, even as Democrats, led by the president, made an all-out push for the legislation. Only one Republican senator, Dean Heller of Nevada, who is in a tight re-election race against Democratic Rep. Shelley Berkley, spoke on the floor against the bill. In his brief speech, Heller proposed an alternative bill to combat the problem, but Democrats criticized it as insufficient. Off the floor, a few Republicans spoke about the bill, but only when asked by reporters. "We think it is the wrong way of going about dealing with this issue," said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader, who described the measure as a reward for pro-Democratic trial lawyers. "This is just politics. This should be called the trial lawyers bonanza bill," complained Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming, the top Republican on the Senate labor committee. "It has nothing to do with the women. They will get very little out of it. What it allows is huge class-action suits with very little defense by any employer." Even the retiring moderate Republican senator from Maine, Olympia Snowe, whose support Democrats hoped to win, called the Democrats' bill "regrettable" and an "overreach." "I think there are other ways (of) addressing these issues, and this legislation goes too far," Snow said. The bill "would put a tremendous burden on employers through lawsuits, class-action lawsuits." Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Maryland, the chief sponsor of the pay equity bill, vowed to return to the bill until it passes. "We will be back," she said. "Though we lost the vote today, we are not giving up for equal pay, for equal rights."

By . Lucy Buckland . Last updated at 4:25 PM on 6th October 2011 . A cricket agent boasted seven players in Pakistan's national side were fixing matches for him in a hugely lucrative betting scam, a court heard today. Mazhar Majeed, 36, spoke of the advantages of 'grooming' younger cricketers to work with him as they would be 'around for years', Southwark Crown Court was told. Prosecutors alleged that he also discussed deliberately losing a Test match against England last summer for a million dollars and plotted to fix games at last year's Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies. At court: Mr Butt, centre, arrives at Southwark Crown Court in London yesterday, today the court heard a transcript of the conversation between the captain and his agent . The alleged conversation, which was recorded by reporter Mr Mahmood, was read to the jury: . Majeed allegedly said: ‘You know the maiden we were doing in the first over?’ Butt allegedly replied: ‘Yeah.’ Majeed: ‘You know the third over you face? Do one more maiden.’ Butt: ‘No, leave it, OK.’ Majeed: ‘You don’t want to do the third over?’ Butt: ‘Nai, yaar.’ (‘No, mate.’) Majeed allegedly told undercover reporter, Mazher Mahmood, of the News of the World, who was posing as a rich businessman he had seven Pakistan cricketers working for him. Majeed . named ‘his’ players as Butt, fast bowlers Mohammed Asif, Mohammed Amir . and Wahab Riaz, wicket keeper Kamran Akmal, and batsmen Omar Akmal and . Imran Farhat, although prosecutor Aftab Jafferjee said the agent explained that there . was a ‘little question mark’ about Farhat. Southwark Crown Court also heard Butt, 26, was allegedly taped . confirming that he would deliberately bat a ‘maiden over’ on the final . day of last summer’s Oval Test match, which was a chance for his side to . win their first game of the series. Majeed discussed the arrangement . with the cricketer by phone while agreeing a deal with an undercover . journalist posing as a rich Indian businessman who had paid £10,000 to . fix part of the match, jurors heard . Majeed assured Mr Mahmood, also known as the fake sheikh for his undercover reporting work, Butt would score no runs in his first full over at the Oval the next day, on August 21 last year. Accused: Salman Butt, left, and Mohammad Asif deny conspiracy to cheat . and conspiracy to accept corrupt payments in relation to a allegation . they agreed to fix a Test at Lords Cricket Ground . No Ball: Pakistan's Mohammed Asif bowled this no ball during day one of the npower Fourth Test at Lord's Cricket Ground . When the journalist pointed out that a . maiden over could happen ordinarily, the agent rang the cricketer on . speaker phone to prove he was involved in the fixing scam, the court . heard. Prosecutor Aftab Jafferjee QC said: ‘If not party to this corrupt agreement, you might expect Butt to say something to the effect of ‘What are you talking about?’’ When Mr Mahmood pointed out that the cricketer sounded asleep during the phone call, Majeed is said to have said: ‘Believe me, he’s done this many times.’ The journalist asked whether Butt . could be trusted, to which the agent allegedly replied: ‘Salman is one . million per cent trustworthy.’ But . on August 21 Butt did not play the maiden over as planned at the Oval . after he ended up batting earlier than expected, the court heard. Captain: The court heard Salman Butt betrayed his team and his country by his alleged involvement in the cricket scandal . Allegations: The group is accused of trying to fix parts of a test match at Lord's Cricket Ground last year . Mr Jafferjee said: ‘As events were to transpire at the Oval, matters were somewhat out of Butt’s control. To bat a maiden over requires very considerable control, which he is talented enough to manage, but not when he faces a hard, solid new ball at the beginning of the innings.’ The jury was also read earlier texts sent between Majeed and Butt in May last year in which they allegedly discussed fixing games at the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies. In one message the agent allegedly wrote: ‘This will only work if you score in the first two overs and no wickets.’ The undercover reporter complained to Majeed after Butt failed to bat the promised maiden over at the Oval Test, the court heard. Mr Jafferjee said: ‘The journalist asked ‘What went wrong?’. Majeed explained that Butt had come in much too early with the ball new and hard, and he was forced to take the run.’ As . Mr Mahmood pressed for results, the agent became indignant that his . credentials were being questioned and claimed that his Indian . ‘customers’ would pay £400,000 without the kind of proof provided to the . reporter, the prosecutor said. Bowler Mohammad Amir, left, and agent . Mazhar Majeed . Majeed told the journalist that the cricketers he worked with had agreed to fix parts of their next game for him during two ‘brackets’ - a set period on which to bet - in return for £150,000, the court heard. The agent allegedly said: ‘They’re not willing to give you anything, until you give a large, substantial amount. Ten grand is peanuts.’ On August 25, the day before the final Test match of the series between England and Pakistan at Lord’s, the journalist met Majeed in a room at the Copthorne Tara hotel off Kensington High Street in central London. The jury was shown a covertly-filmed video of Mr Mahmood handing £140,000 in £50 notes to the agent, who counted out the money on a table in front of him. The agent said in the film: ‘I’m telling you, if you play this right, you’re going to make a lot of money.’Majeed . promised the reporter that Pakistan fast bowlers Amir, 19, and Asif, . 28, would deliver three no-balls at specific points in the Lord’s Test, . the court heard. ‘To show we are serious I’m going to give you three no-balls. No-balls are the easiest and the clearest,’ he allegedly said. Under the spotlight: Mohammad Amir, left, Salman Butt, right, and Mohammad Asif, centre, pictured after the New of the World published its story in September last year . In the video the agent told the journalist that the no-balls would be delivered by Amir as the first ball of the third over, by Asif as the last ball of the 10th over and by Amir as the last ball of his first over to a right-handed England batsman. Majeed allegedly said the no-balls would be ‘well over the mark’ to ensure that they were noted by the match officials. Mr Jafferjee commented: ‘No umpire could possibly miss it. Asif, with his tact and greater experience would bowl a no-ball which could not fail to be called, but only inches over the popping-crease. ‘The relatively hapless Amir would end up bowling no-balls that, as a seasoned cricket statistician will tell you, were the biggest no-balls he’s ever seen.’ Sky Sports footage of the Lord’s match was played in court, and the prosecutor noted that Amir’s first invalid delivery was ‘an enormous no-ball’. Yesterday Mr Jafferjee told the court the cricketers were deeply involved in ‘rampant corruption’ at the heart of the sport. In . his opening speech to the jury he said the men betrayed millions of . fans to cash in on a betting industry worth up to £33billion a year on . the Asian sub-continent alone. Mr . Jafferjee told Southwark Crown Court that the sums gambled overseas . were ‘breathtaking’ and the men were motivated purely by greed. He . said: ‘This case reveals a depressing tale of rampant corruption at the . heart of international cricket, with the key players being members of . the Pakistan cricket team. ‘There . are vast amounts of money to be made in any betting activity if the . results are known in advance, and all of that was at the expense of the . integrity of the game.’ Allegations of match-fixing shook the sport to the core when the now defunct Sunday newspaper published the revelations in August last year. Butt, 26, is accused of orchestrating the conspiracy with good friend and agent Majeed, 36, who then owned Croydon Athletic Football Club. Star bowlers Asif, 29, and Amir, 19, were told to bowl three no-balls at pre-arranged stages of the final Test at Lords -the court heard. The men face up to seven years in prison if they are convicted of corruption and cheating. The trial continues.

A schoolboy has tragically died after being hit on the head by a bottle thrown across the playground. Oisin McGrath, 13, was struck while playing football on his lunch break at St Michael's College in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, on Monday afternoon. A 17-year-old boy was arrested and later bailed pending further police inquiries into what happened. Tragedy: Schoolboy Oisin McGrath was playing football on his lunch break when he was hit in the head by a bottle. A keen sportsman, he is seen here playing Gaelic football for his local team . Peter Robinson, First Minister of Northern Ireland, sent a message of condolence on Twitter and wrote: 'Young Oisin McGrath's death is heartbreaking. 'I'll be praying for his family and all those devastated by this sad news tonight.' Sources at the school said Oisin was playing football with friends when he was hurt. It is believed a water bottle was thrown across the playground and struck the schoolboy on the head. Condolences: Peter Robinson, First Minister of Northern Ireland, sent a message of condolence on Twitter, writing: 'Young Oisin McGrath's death is heartbreaking' Local priest Father Seamus Quinn had been at Oisin's bedside along with his devastated family. He said: 'They are stunned, numb and utterly shocked, with their hearts broken. 'People were shocked when they heard that there were no signs of life and the support would be gradually removed.' Oisin, a keen sportsman from the village of Belcoo in Fermanagh, was being treated in the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) in Belfast. Fr Quinn described Oisin as a very well-grounded and well-rounded young teenager, and added: 'He was happy and helpful, genuinely helpful, intelligent young fellow. 'They are a well-loved and well-respected family, they are solid, salt of the earth people, faith-based people, Christian people.' He said the community in Belcoo had been united in prayer for Oisin, with 500 people attending Catholic Mass on Wednesday night at St Patrick's Church in nearby Holywell, a small village outside Belcoo. Fr Quinn added: 'There is a silence in the village, there was a silence after Mass last night, naturally people were just dumbfounded and in shock. 'For anybody who has children it is their worst nightmare.'

His mother Sharon is secretary in the local club. Paul McGrath, coach of the Belcoo under-14 side, described Oisin as a 'good, quiet lad'. Fr Quinn had earlier told how Oisin's mother Sharon had spoken of her sympathy for the other youth's parents. He said: 'I heard his mother saying there was some other poor family suffering at the moment. She said that yesterday. She was very concerned about Oisin's friends too. 'I would echo that myself. Our hearts go out to anybody else involved in this if there was some sort of accident. Nobody sets out to do this; it was obviously an accident of some description.' St Michael's is a Catholic boys' grammar school with 700 pupils, and a statement from the school said: 'A group of students were playing at lunchtime when one student became unwell and we sought medical assistance.'

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 12:56 EST, 27 February 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 16:38 EST, 27 February 2014 . A Delaware elementary school teacher found guilty of having sex with one of her 13-year-old students is trying to have her 10-year prison sentence reduced. Rachel Holt was 34 when she was charged with 28 counts of raping a minor in 2006. She pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree rape and was handed a mandatory 10-year sentence. Investigators said the science teacher had sex with the boy more than 25 times in just over a week, and on one occasion let his 12-year-old friend watch. Appeal: Science teacher Rachel Holt is trying to have her 10-year sentence for rape commuted . The board of pardons is scheduled on Thursday to hear a commutation request from Holt, who used to work at Claymont Elementary School.

Unique taste: Heston Blumenthal at a party with Pippa Middleton... not drinking his gin . He is one of the most feted chefs in Britain, with an enviable six Michelin stars and a reputation for creating exciting and innovative new tastes. Now Heston Blumenthal has launched a typically exotic gin, infused with tea and lemon. But despite his track record, and a suitably elevated price tag, the drink has just come bottom of an expert taste test. Embarrassingly, his Earl Grey & Lemon Gin even scored considerably lower than Aldi’s own brand budget spirit, which costs less than half as much. Blumenthal said of his drink: ‘The addition of Earl Grey with its aromatic bergamot makes this a spirit with real spirit.’ Expert taster Martin Isark acknowledged that Blumenthal was ‘pushing the boundaries’ with his concoction – but came to the blunt conclusion: ‘It does not work.’ He tested several gins according to four criteria: bottle design, price, the taste neat and with Schweppes tonic water. Only on design did Blumenthal’s product – part of the Heston From Waitrose range for the upmarket supermarket chain – score top marks. It was equally poor served neat or with tonic. Isark gave the £23 bottle just 44 points out of 100, saying: ‘When drunk neat the gin is aggressive from midway to swallow and the Earl Grey blend does not complement the tonic at all well. ‘The botanicals make it flavoured but with the bergamont you have the tea taste there. It does not work on any front.’ In contrast, Aldi’s £9.99 own brand – Oliver Cromwell London Dry – managed to secure fourth spot with 85 points. It scored 15 out of 25 for taste neat and full marks for taste with tonic and for price. Top-ranked was the familiar Beefeater brand, among the cheapest at £14 for a 70cl bottle. The most expensive spirit tested, the £32 City of London Dry, also scored poorly, coming in eighth out of ten. Isark, who conducted the survey for his consumer website Can I Eat It? added that the mixer was important too, saying: ‘If you are a G&T drinker you are wasting your hard-earned cash buying high priced, super premium, elegantly flavoured gin only to pour pronounced quinine-flavoured tonic water into it.’ A Waitrose spokesman said that Heston’s gin was best drunk with Fentimans tonic water. She added: ‘If you do not like Earl Grey or bergamont you may not like this gin. It’s really popular with our customers. It’s all quite subjective. It’s a twist on traditional flavour – that’s the point.’

Cherie Blair said employers should be encouraged to create more part-time and family-friendly jobs . Cherie Blair has called for stay-at-home mothers to get Government-funded training and subsidised salaries to help them get back to work and boost the economy. The wife of former prime minister Tony Blair said more women could get back on the ‘ramp into employment’ if the state offered support in the first six months of their return to work. Mrs Blair suggested ‘returnerships’, which would be ‘like an apprenticeship but for those who have been out of the labour market due to caring responsibilities’. And she said employers should be encouraged to create more part-time and family-friendly jobs to encourage women to return, boosting the national workforce. In an essay for the charity 4Children, the barrister wrote: ‘The businesses that get these measures right – in a world in which human capital matters more and more – will win the battle for talent. ‘Helping families, especially mothers, back on the “ramp” into employment … has to be a priority.’ The mother-of-four said that her own experiences had led her to campaign for more jobs that allow women to care for their families and work at the same time. ‘I was so intent as a young lawyer on beating the men at their own game that I didn’t take any real maternity leave with my three younger children,’ she wrote. ‘It is only looking back that I realise I wasn’t beating the system but reinforcing it.’ There are currently two million women and around 200,000 men out of work because of caring responsibilities. Two thirds say they stay home out of choice. 'Returnerships', which would be 'like an apprenticeship but for those who have been out of the labour market due to caring responsibilities' Mrs Blair, 59, said a bigger change is needed in ‘the culture of work’ so that women don’t miss out on opportunities:  ‘Many of the big decisions over progression, promotion and future career trajectory are taken when people are in their late twenties and thirties, putting women at a huge disadvantage because this is the very time they are most likely to be having a break to have children. ‘But changing our society so  our workplaces are truly open  to the talents and life choices of women, and indeed people of all backgrounds, needs real leadership and effort.’ In her essay Mrs Blair suggested introducing back-to-work schemes for men and women who have been caring for their children could be key to economic recovery. ‘At a time when boosting economic growth is at the top of every politician’s “to do” list, this would be a good place to start,’ she said. Mrs Blair said her views are influenced by her mother’s work ethic. ‘[She] gave up her career as an actress to look after my sister and me, was abandoned by her husband and, with no maintenance forthcoming, took a job in a fish and chip shop to support us,’ she said. ‘This experience, as well as my professional ambition, instilled in me a strong feeling that maintaining a career and a family life was both desirable and necessary.’

(CNN) -- Mexico's top security official says the Sinaloa drug cartel was likely behind the kidnapping of a group of four journalists, two of whom were freed in a police rescue. The kidnappers wanted to use the reporters, who were connected with some of Mexico's largest news organizations, to force the media to transmit "criminal messages," Mexican Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna told reporters Saturday. A federal police rescue freed two of the four journalists, who were kidnapped Monday while covering a riot at a prison in the northern state of Durango, Garcia Luna said. A third was released Thursday. But the whereabouts of the fourth reporter were unclear Sunday. The two rescued journalists sat beside Garcia Luna and described their captivity to reporters Saturday. "It is a sad and bitter experience that nobody wants even the worst of their enemies to go through," Multimedios camerman Javier Canales said, noting that he suffered psychological abuse and threats. "Since the moment they took us, we thought they were going to kill us," Televisa Laguna photojournalist Alejandro Hernandez said, according to state news agency Notimex. Their kidnapping was a high-profile reminder of an issue that has been increasingly common amid Mexico's escalating drug war: violence against the journalists who cover it. The journalists were kidnapped Monday while reporting on a protest by inmates and relatives at a local prison, which made news after Mexico's Attorney General's office revealed guards there let free a squad of imprisoned hit men to carry out a massacre of 17 people in a nearby town. The journalists were abducted in the Laguna region, Mexico's National Commission for Human Rights said -- an area which has been the scene of vicious fighting between the Zetas crime group and the Sinaloa cartel. It includes the state of Durango and parts of neighboring Coahuila. On Friday, the signal of one of Mexico's largest television networks faded to black for almost an hour as a symbolic protest. "We will not pretend that nothing is happening," said Denise Maerker, anchor of Televisa's "Punto de Partida" as she opened the show. Critics have said the government does not do enough to hold criminals accountable. On Friday, Mexico City's Milenio newspaper published an editorial calling on the government to step up its game to solve the hostage situation. In the editorial, journalist Ciro Gomez Leyva alluded to demands from the kidnappers for the media to publish certain images in return for the release of the journalists. "That is not our duty. The media is not designed nor equipped to negotiate in a hostage situation," Gomez wrote. Garcia Luna said Saturday that investigations would continue to determine who was responsible. "The Mexican state is above any criminal organization or group and is much stronger than these organizations," he said. The powerful Sinaloa cartel, which Garcia Luna said may have been behind the kidnapping, transports multi-ton quantities of drugs from Mexico to the U.S., according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Forbes magazine has estimated the fortune of its leader, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera, at $1 billion. He escaped from a Mexican prison in 2001. CNN's Krupskaia Alis and Gustavo Valdes contributed to this report.

Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- Mexico's top security official says the Sinaloa drug cartel was likely behind the kidnapping of a group of four journalists, two of whom were freed in a police rescue. The kidnappers wanted to use the reporters, who were connected with some of Mexico's largest news organizations, to force the media to transmit "criminal messages," Mexican Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna told reporters Saturday. A federal police rescue freed two of the four journalists, who were kidnapped Monday while covering a riot at a prison in the northern state of Durango, Garcia Luna said. A third was released Thursday. But the whereabouts of the fourth reporter were unclear Sunday. The two rescued journalists sat beside Garcia Luna and described their captivity to reporters Saturday. "It is a sad and bitter experience that nobody wants even the worst of their enemies to go through," Multimedios camerman Javier Canales said, noting that he suffered psychological abuse and threats.

(CNN) -- James Traficant Jr., who railed against government agencies while serving as a wild-haired, maverick congressman from Ohio, died Saturday after being critically injured in a tractor accident on his farm. Traficant was 73. Family attorney Heidi Hanni told CNN that Traficant passed away at 11:30 a.m. He'd been riding a small 1943 tractor on Tuesday at his farm in Greenford, Ohio, when he lost control, causing the tractor to roll over him, local police said. He died at St. Elizabeth Health Center, the Youngstown Vindicator reported. Traficant was a Democrat who represented Ohio's 17th Congressional District from 1985 to 2002. With a penchant for colorful, sometimes crude language, Traficant made a name for himself in Washington long before being convicted on federal corruption charges, a courtroom defeat that led to his expulsion from Congress because of ethics violations tied to it. "There are no ethics in politics," he declared at his ethics hearing. "And there should be no ethics committee. It is dog eat dog. Castrate your opponent." Such comments made him a favorite of reporters in Washington, where he was willing to offer his opinion on just about any topic. 'Beam me up!' He was equally famous in Washington for his hair. The Washington Post obit noted: "Reporters outdid themselves in trying to describe Mr. Traficant's pompadour -- and to determine whether it was real. In the words of the Los Angeles Times, it was a 'Planet of the Apes sort of hair helmet,' or as Washingtonian magazine put it, 'a creature from Lake Erie before it was cleaned up.'" But it turned out Traficant wore a toupee. This was discovered in 2002 when he was booked into a jail in Akron, Ohio, before being sent to federal prison, and authorities searched for "contraband or weapons," according to a CNN story. A jail official said it was a small hairpiece and didn't fully cover Traficant's head. Traficant made flamboyant and animated House speeches, which often ended with his trademark, "Beam me up!" A former football player at the University of Pittsburgh, Traficant went on to play the role of hometown hero after graduation, serving as a drug counselor and Mahoning County, Ohio, sheriff. While sheriff, Traficant was tried on bribery charges in 1983. Acting as his own lawyer, he persuaded a jury to acquit him, saying he was conducting his own sting operation. He was elected to Congress in 1984. In Washington, he barreled through the House in rumpled sports coats and loud shirts. Traficant fashioned himself as a maverick populist, spending much of his career railing against foreign aid and various government agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service and the CIA. "Lying, thieving, stealing nincompoops" is how he once described the latter. Convicted of bribery charges . In April 2002, Traficant was convicted on 10 charges of bribery, racketeering and tax evasion. Although not a lawyer, Traficant again represented himself. He was expelled from the House later that year by a 420-1 vote, becoming only the second congressman expelled since the Civil War. He took up painting as a hobby while he served his sentence from 2002 to 2009. Months after his release from prison, Traficant filed for office as an independent but lost his bid to regain his old seat to sitting Rep. Tim Ryan, a Democrat. A few days before his expulsion from Congress, Traficant told CNN, "I'm a son of a truck driver. Forget this Congress business, I'm a regular guy." People we've lost in 2014 . Parts of this story came from a 2002 CNN profile of James Traficant Jr.

Michele Ferrero, the world's wealthiest chocolatier and owner of the Nutella empire, died on Saturday aged 89 . Michele Ferrero, the world's wealthiest chocolatier and owner of the Nutella empire, died on Saturday aged 89. The death of Italy's richest man opens the question of succession and potential tie-ups at the family-controlled Ferrero group, which has sales of around £6billion. Mr Ferrero created the chocolate-hazelnut Nutella spread, Ferrero Rocher pralines, Kinder eggs and Tic Tac sweets - turning a provincial chocolate factory into a global empire. He died at home in Monaco on Valentine's Day after months of illness, his company revealed. Italian President Sergio Mattarella led the tributes to the 'born entrepreneur' and said he was deeply touched by the death of one of the protagonists of Italian industry. 'He was always ahead of his time thanks to innovative products and his tenacious and reserved work,' said Mr Mattarella. Twitter was flooded with messages from people who thanked Ferrero for 'sweetening up' their lives. Mr Ferrero's net worth of £14.4billion ranked him 31st, the highest of any Italian, on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as of February 2015. Forbes magazine described Ferrero as 'the richest candyman on the planet', putting him and his family in 30th place on their list of the world's wealthiest people. The entrepreneur built the business founded by his parents in the 1940s into one of the world's biggest confectionery companies. His father Pietro started making Nutella when cocoa was still rationed during World War II and transformed a small coffee bar in Piedmont, Italy, into a sweets factory in 1946. With cocoa expensive as Italy rebuilt from war, the company experimented with locally abundant nuts as a substitute ingredient and developed Nutella using a cocoa-hazelnut base. The first pot of Nutella was made in Alba in northwest Italy in April 1964 and the company produces around 365,000 tonnes of Nutella every year in 11 factories around the world. Mr Ferrero's son Giovanni became chief executive of the chocolate empire after his older brother Pietro, the chosen heir, died of a heart attack in 2011 while cycling in South Africa. In late 2013, Giovanni denied suggestions that the company had been approached by the Swiss-based multinational Nestle, saying Ferrero was not for sale. Scroll down for video .

Phnom Penh (CNN) -- More than 20 striking garment workers were injured this week, including two pregnant women, during clashes with police outside a factory in Kampong Speu Province, Cambodia, a labor leader said. Roughly 4,000 workers have walked off the job at a factory owned by Sabrina (Cambodia) Garment Manufacturing, which supplies Nike and Lululemon Athletica. They are demanding a $14 monthly increase, from the $74 they make now, said Say Sokmy, secretary-general of the Free Trade Union of Workers of the Kingdom of Cambodia. Police used stun batons to disperse strikers on Monday, she said, injured more than twenty. Both Nike and Lululemon released statements, expressing concern about the incident. "As outlined in Nike's Code of Conduct, Nike requires its contract manufacturers to respect their employees' rights to freedom of association," the U.S.-based company said in a statement. It continued: "Workers are employed by the contract factories, not by Nike, and wages and compensation are the responsibility of the factories. It is our understanding that this factory raised its own minimum wage on May 1 and pays above the country's minimum wage." Vancouver-based Lululemon Athletica said its sustainability teams are monitoring events and are in daily contact with the factory to ensure workers' safety. "We require all of our vendors to uphold and respect the workers' rights around the freedom of association and collective bargaining as stated in our lululemon Code of Ethics," said Therese Hayes, vice president of sustainability. "The current situation deeply concerns us and we will continue to be in close contact with our factory partner, and take any immediate actions if necessary." Both companies stressed that the factory is part of Better Factories Cambodia (BFC), a program established by the International Labor Organization to monitor workplaces and offer advice. According to BFC, the garment industry employs some 400,000 workers and accounts for $4 billion, or roughly 80%, of Cambodia's total export revenue. Most of what's made is exported to the European Union and the United States. READ MORE: Inside a Bangladesh garment factory that plays by the rules . OPINION: Stop cashing in on Bangladeshi workers .

Lambert is under no illusions after his side's desperate home form continued with a shock 1-0 home defeat to Sky Bet League One side Leyton Orient in the Capital One on Wednesday.

Home disadvantage: Paul Lambert (C) is searching for a solution to Villa's poor home form . Practice makes perfect: Aston Villa players take part in a training session ahead of  visit by Hull on Sunday . Dream team? Paul Lambert and assistant Roy Keane watch from the sidelines at Villa Park . And Lambert, who wants to sign Manchester United's Tom Cleverley before Monday's transfer deadline, knows if they are going to avoid a third straight battle against relegation they must improve. Speaking ahead of Sunday's visit of Hull, the Scot said: 'The home form is vital to you. We've got to get the home form right. Wednesday was what cup football is about. The chances were there in abundance and we should have won the game, but we were not clinical enough in the final third. 'This Sunday will be a totally different atmosphere from Wednesday night. 'The Premier League is a fantastic league to play in and if we can do as well as in the last two games and have bit of luck, we will win it. The first two league games have been excellent. 'There will be changes from Wednesday - lads are back in the equation. What happened on Wednesday night can't detract from league games although boys are disappointed.'

After the international break, Villa face a daunting run against Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Everton during September and October. They have claimed four points from their opening two games against Stoke and Newcastle, and Lambert understands the need for victory ahead of their tough run.

(CNN) -- The main whistleblower in the scandal involving the Department of Veterans Affairs has asked for an independent review of delays in care at the Phoenix VA, calling the recent investigation by the Office of Inspector General a "whitewash." Dr. Sam Foote, a retired Phoenix VA doctor who will testify before Congress on Wednesday, says the VA's inspector general has downplayed the way in which employee manipulations of patient wait times contributed to deaths. "In my opinion, this was a conspiracy, possibly criminal, perpetrated by senior Phoenix leaders," Foote said in his prepared testimony. "The Inspector General tries to minimize the damage done and the culpability of those involved by stating that none of the deaths can conclusively be tied to treatment delays." The report released by the inspector general in August states that no deaths at the Phoenix VA could be "conclusively" linked to long wait times. CNN has learned the VA's inspector general told congressional officials in a private briefing in August that 293 veterans died while waiting for care, though the deaths were not said to be caused by delays. That information was not included in the IG report released a few days later. Instead, the report described how 28 veterans had "clinically significant delays" in care, six of whom died. Foote said the number of veterans who died vastly exceeds his original allegations that 40 veterans died while waiting for care at the Phoenix VA. VA inspectors say Phoenix was in total 'chaos' and warn of more risk .

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- The main whistleblower in the scandal involving the Department of Veterans Affairs has asked for an independent review of delays in care at the Phoenix VA, calling the recent investigation by the Office of Inspector General a "whitewash." Dr. Sam Foote, a retired Phoenix VA doctor who will testify before Congress on Wednesday, says the VA's inspector general has downplayed the way in which employee manipulations of patient wait times contributed to deaths. "In my opinion, this was a conspiracy, possibly criminal, perpetrated by senior Phoenix leaders," Foote said in his prepared testimony. "The Inspector General tries to minimize the damage done and the culpability of those involved by stating that none of the deaths can conclusively be tied to treatment delays." The report released by the inspector general in August states that no deaths at the Phoenix VA could be "conclusively" linked to long wait times. CNN has learned the VA's inspector general told congressional officials in a private briefing in August that 293 veterans died while waiting for care, though the deaths were not said to be caused by delays. That information was not included in the IG report released a few days later. Instead, the report described how 28 veterans had "clinically significant delays" in care, six of whom died. Foote said the number of veterans who died vastly exceeds his original allegations that 40 veterans died while waiting for care at the Phoenix VA. VA inspectors say Phoenix was in total 'chaos' and warn of more risk . Ahead of Wednesday's congressional hearing, the Acting Inspector General Richard Griffin defended the recent investigation but said the report cannot adequately express the personal losses involved.

By . James Nye . Caught: Randall Streeter was arrested with heroin, crack and prescription drugs in his navel on May 29 in Greenville, North Carolina . Police in North Carolina have arrested a drug trafficker found with 40 bags of heroin, crack cocaine and Percocet pills hidden in his navel. Greenville Regional Drug Task Force took Randall Streeter - who is 5'5" tall and weighs 315 pounds - into custody along with a passenger after pulling over the car he was driving. During the May 29 stop agents seized 150 bags of heroin and $1,200 in addition to the drugs found on Streeter and the arrests were the culmination of a month-long investigation. The total estimated street value of the narcotics found in Streeter's navel and in the car along with passenger, Marshall Wayne Wilson, was approximately $6,800. Streeter was charged with heroin trafficking and is currently in Pitt County Detention Center under a $1,000,000 secured bond. Wilson, the passenger, was also charged with drug offenses and is also being held in Pitt under a $75,000 secured bond. According to police, Streeter is suspected of dealing huge amounts of heroin in Greenville and is also linked to numerous prostitution cases. According to WATE.com the method Streeter used to conceal the drugs is commonly known in eastern North Carolina as a 'Percocet Pouch'. Recovered: The total estimated street value of the heroin was approximately $6,800.00 dollars . Navel: The drugs were found in Streeter's naval and $1,200 was recovered from the car he was driving . This news comes one day after it was revealed a man was arrested in Cuba after attempting to board a flight to America with 66 rare birds sewn inside his trousers. The bird man was seized at Ignacio Agramonte International Airport in the Cuban city of Camaguay and was picked up because of the curious bulges in his trousers. After being stopped by customs, the man bizarrely claimed he was only concealing a pigeon as a gift for his grandson.
Randall Streeter, who is 5'5" was brought into custody after a traffic stop and is being held on a $1 million bail bond .

(CNN) -- Former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was formally charged with electoral sabotage Saturday, days after she was detained as she tried to leave the country. CNN affiliate ABS CBN, citing national police, reported that the former president was booked from her hospital room at St. Luke's Medical Center in Taguig City, where she is under police guard. The Philippine Commission on Elections on Friday approved fraud charges against Arroyo and several other former officials. Arroyo is charged in connection with the alleged manipulation of results during 2007 Senate elections, according to the Philippines News Agency. She has denied any wrongdoing. Arroyo was stopped from leaving the country Tuesday as she was trying to board a plane at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport, hours after the country's Supreme Court overruled government-imposed restrictions on her travels. The Supreme Court again Friday rejected the government's travel ban, saying she was free to leave as long as she posted a bond and met other requirements, said Jose Midas Marquez, a court spokesman . Arroyo was reportedly boarding the flight to seek medical treatment abroad for her bone disease diagnosed earlier this year, following three unsuccessful spinal operations in the Philippines. She arrived at the airport in an ambulance and was transported to the departure gate in a wheelchair while wearing a neck brace. Arroyo's lawyer, Raul Lambino, said the former first couple was "subjected to indignity and embarrassment at the airport," calling the government's defiance of the Supreme Court order "abhorrent and in violation of the rights of the individual guaranteed by the (Philippine's) constitution and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights." But presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda described the situation as "all high drama," according to media reports. "They (the Arroyos) want the public to sympathize with them," he added. He said that while the Arroyo couple would be treated with dignity, the government would be "firm in our decision not to allow them to leave the country." Arroyo's husband, Jose Miguel Arroyo, is also accused of corruption. The Supreme Court, which is mostly staffed by judges hired under Arroyo, defied current President Benigno Aquino's state mandate of investigating allegations of corruption during Arroyo's 2001-2010 presidential term. CNN's Karen Smith and Journalist Winona Cueva contributed to this report .

Soaked in its own blood this swan could easily be mistaken for a tropically pink flamingo. The birds normally pristine white feathers were turned rose after a suspected crash landing left it saturated in its own blood. The stricken bird, named Pinky by rescuers, was discovered suffering from several deep cuts, including a slashed vein, stumbling in field near Wartling, East Sussex. This swan's normally pristine white feathers were turned pink after a suspected crash landing left it saturated in its own blood . Rescuers, who nicknamed the bird Pinkie, applied trauma gauze to the birds lower beak to help stop the bleeding . Rescuer Trevor Weeks from East Sussex Wildlife Rescue and Ambulance Service (WRAS) had to swim across three dykes in order to catch the swan which was then bedded down in a wildlife rescue ambulance and given first aid. Mr Weeks said: 'We had to apply a trauma gauze to the lower beak to help stop the bleeding, which had to be taped in place. 'After seeking advice from the Swan Sanctuaries veterinary team we decided to send the swan up to their specialist for assessment. 'But we hope the swan will be suitable for returning to the area once fit and well.' Wildlife rescue volunteer Chris Riddington added: 'I've never seen anything quite like it. 'The swan was completely red. There were no white feathers at all, just blood everywhere.' Volunteer rescuer Trevor Weeks swam across three dykes in order to catch the stricken swan . Rescuers believe that the bird may have come into contact with a power line during a crash landing. The cuts were centred around the swan's mouth and the blood was believed to have been spread as it preened itself.

The world is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first call from a cell phone, which was made in New York City on April 3, 1973. That momentous first call was made by Motorola employee Marty Cooper, who used a prototype known as a DynaTAC to call rivals Bell Labs (then a division of AT&T) to inform them that they had been beaten in the race to achieve the technological breakthrough. Cooper, then 42, reportedly said: ‘I'm ringing you just to see if my call sounds good at your end.’ The momentous first call was made by Motorola employee Marty Cooper, who used a prototype known as a DynaTAC to call rivals Bell Labs . The Motorola DynaTAC was nine inches . tall, weighed 2.5lbs, had a talk-time of 35 minutes and . took 10 hours to recharge.

Whether you are grabbing a takeaway coffee, or flicking through a magazine, it is almost impossible not to encounter adverts or brands. But a prototype headset that can block out brands has been created, meaning that people may be able to ‘opt out of corporate influence’ in the future. A group of four students developed the device during a hackathon, to help people who ‘feel helpless against the dominance of ads in society today.’ Scroll down for video . A prototype headset that can block out brands has been created, meaning that people may be able to ‘opt out of corporate influence’ in the future. The 'Adblock for Real Life' can be seen blurring out the logo on a coffee cup (left) while the image on the right doesn't have the feature switched on . The headset is called ‘Brand Killer: Adblock for Real Life’ and comprises a pair of goggles with a seven inch display inside and a camera, running on Open CV and Python software. It uses computer vision to recognise brands, such as Starbucks, which are logged in a database. Once any of the recognisable brands come into view, the system pixelates them. ‘It’s Adblock for real life,’ the team of computer scientists said. They developed the idea at the University of Pennsylvania's PennApps Winter 2015 hackathon, describing the headset as: ‘a technology demonstration that envisions a future in which consumers can use augmented reality to opt out [of] corporate influence.’ The headset is called ‘Brand Killer: Adblock for Real Life’ (pictured) and comprises a pair of goggles with a seven inch display inside and a camera, running on Open CV and Python software . The team originally set out to overlay brands with generic labels such as ‘cereal’ instead of ‘Lucky Charms,’ for example but ran out of time, as they built the headset over one weekend and only spent $80 (£53) The headset is called ‘Brand Killer: Adblock for Real Life'. It comprises a pair of goggles with a seven inch display inside and a camera, running on Open CV and Python software. It uses computer vision to recognise brands, such as Starbucks, which are logged in a database. Once any of the recognisable brands come into view, the system pixelates them. ‘It’s Adblock for real life,’ the team of computer scientists said. The headset cost $80 (£53) and was built over one weekend. Despite a positive response to an ad-free world, its creators say there are no plans to use or sell the gadget. Team member Alex Crits-Christoph, a Biophysics student at Johns Hopkins University, said: ‘This idea was inspired by the British TV show Black Mirror, in which one episode features a future in which certain people are literally blocked out from the lives of others using augmented reality technology.’ The team decided to use a similar idea to empower people and let them block out advertising, which Mr Crits-Christoph described as ‘an eyesore and overwhelmingly present in society today’. They originally set out to overlay brands with generic labels such as ‘soda’ instead of ‘Dr Pepper,’ for example but ran out of time, as they built the headset over one weekend and only spent $80 (£53). ‘We also planned to target billboards and full-adverts, but also did not finish that in the competition.’ The team also considered replacing adverts with artwork. While the headset was only developed to demonstrate the potential of current technology in augmented reality, it was received positively by people keen to block out adverts from their lives. Mr Crits-Christoph said:‘Around 30 people tried the headset on when we demoed it at PennApps, and almost every one smiled or laughed at the effect. ‘The positive response from the Internet has been wonderful.’ There are no plans to sell or use the headset (pictured) in day-to-day life. It is purely intended as ‘a statement about both technology and society'. However, it has been very well received. ‘I think that currently people feel helpless against the dominance of ads in society today,' Mr Crits-Christoph said . Once any of the recognisable brands come into view, the system pixelates them. ‘It’s Adblock for real life,’ the team of computer scientists said. This image shows a blurred bottle, left and original, right . ‘I think that currently people feel helpless against the dominance of ads in society today. ‘Possibly the response to the project has been so overwhelming because it has helped people imagine a world in which technology like this is used to empower individuals as one that is not too far off.’ Team member Jonathan Dubin told MailOnline: ‘The response to our technology indicates that people really identify with the goal of blocking ads in the real world. ‘I think many people have realised that brands are everywhere in our world, and the ability to exert some control over our surroundings rather than be helpless to the ads is empowering.’ ‘People have been looking for practical uses of augmented reality, and I think that this, or variations of it, could be highly demanded. ‘People want the same freedom they have in their browsers, in the real world.’ Despite this, there are no plans to sell or use the headset in day-to-day life. It is purely intended as ‘a statement about both technology and society.’ When asked whether the technology could one day be embedded into a technology similar to Google Glass, Mr Dubin said: ‘I do think that developers will go ahead and build this technology for whatever augmented reality devices come out in the future.’ When asked whether the technology (pictured) could one day be embedded into a technology similar to Google Glass, Mr Dubin said: ‘I do think that developers will go ahead and build this technology for whatever augmented reality devices come out in the future’

Team member Alex Crits-Christoph, a Biophysics student at Johns Hopkins University, said: ‘This idea was inspired by the British TV show Black Mirror, in which one episode features a future in which certain people are literally blocked out from the lives of others using augmented reality technology.’ The team decided to use a similar idea to empower people and let them block out advertising, which Mr Crits-Christoph described as ‘an eyesore and overwhelmingly present in society today’. They originally set out to overlay brands with generic labels such as ‘soda’ instead of ‘Dr Pepper,’ for example but ran out of time, as they built the headset over one weekend and only spent $80 (£53). ‘We also planned to target billboards and full-adverts, but also did not finish that in the competition.’ The team also considered replacing adverts with artwork. While the headset was only developed to demonstrate the potential of current technology in augmented reality, it was received positively by people keen to block out adverts from their lives. Mr Crits-Christoph said:‘Around 30 people tried the headset on when we demoed it at PennApps, and almost every one smiled or laughed at the effect. ‘The positive response from the Internet has been wonderful.’ There are no plans to sell or use the headset (pictured) in day-to-day life. It is purely intended as ‘a statement about both technology and society'. However, it has been very well received. ‘I think that currently people feel helpless against the dominance of ads in society today,' Mr Crits-Christoph said .

This image shows a blurred bottle, left and original, right . ‘I think that currently people feel helpless against the dominance of ads in society today. ‘Possibly the response to the project has been so overwhelming because it has helped people imagine a world in which technology like this is used to empower individuals as one that is not too far off.’ Team member Jonathan Dubin told MailOnline: ‘The response to our technology indicates that people really identify with the goal of blocking ads in the real world. ‘I think many people have realised that brands are everywhere in our world, and the ability to exert some control over our surroundings rather than be helpless to the ads is empowering.’ ‘People have been looking for practical uses of augmented reality, and I think that this, or variations of it, could be highly demanded. ‘People want the same freedom they have in their browsers, in the real world.’ Despite this, there are no plans to sell or use the headset in day-to-day life. It is purely intended as ‘a statement about both technology and society.’ When asked whether the technology could one day be embedded into a technology similar to Google Glass, Mr Dubin said: ‘I do think that developers will go ahead and build this technology for whatever augmented reality devices come out in the future.’ When asked whether the technology (pictured) could one day be embedded into a technology similar to Google Glass, Mr Dubin said: ‘I do think that developers will go ahead and build this technology for whatever augmented reality devices come out in the future’

By . Ben Spencer . They don’t fit with the ‘tall, dark and handsome’ ideal supposedly favoured by women. But there is some good news for shorter men – as when it comes to longevity, they just might measure up best. A study of 8,000 men has found that those of a lesser height lived longer than their taller peers – with those below 5ft 2in living longest. They don't fit with the 'tall, dark and handsome' ideal supposedly favoured by women. But there is some good news for shorter men - as when it comes to longevity, they just might measure up best . The research, conducted by US scientists, suggested short stature may be related to a gene that is linked to longevity. A protective form of the gene, called FOXO3, leads to smaller body size during early development but is also likely to mean a longer life span. Shorter men were also more likely to have lower blood insulin levels, and were less likely to have cancer in their lifetime. Professor Bradley Willcox, of the University of Hawaii, said: ‘ 'We split people into two groups - those that were 5-foot-2 and shorter, and 5-4 and taller. 'The folks that were 5-2 and shorter lived the longest. The range was seen all the way across from being 5-foot tall to 6-foot tall. The taller you got, the shorter you lived.' The study, published in the journal Plos One, tracked more than 8,000 American men of Japanese ancestry born between the years 1900 and 1919. The lifestyles and health conditions of these men were closely followed and studied by the researchers through the years. Shorter men were also more likely to have lower blood insulin levels, and were less likely to have cancer in their lifetime, the study found . Professor Willicox said the findings are not absolute, but do provide a strong link between height and longevity. 'No matter how tall you are, you can still live a healthy lifestyle,' he said. But he added: 'This study shows for the first time that body size is linked to the FOXO3 gene. 'We knew that in animal models of aging. We did not know that in humans. We have the same or a slightly different version in mice, roundworms, flies, even yeast has a version of this gene, and it's important in longevity across all these species.' Around 1,200 men from the study lived into their 90s and 100s, and approximately 250 of those men are still alive today. A separate study, published in 2012, had similar results. That research, which tracked men on the Italian island of Sardinia, found that shorter men lived for two years longer than their taller counterparts. It tracked 500 males born between 1866 and 1915. Smaller mice, rats, ponies and monkeys generally live longer. The smaller Asian elephant also lives longer than the larger African elephant.

Telling of public executions, hard labour and starvation, four survivors of North Korean prison camps have shared their shocking stories of life in the country’s gulags. Kim Young Soon spent nine years in Yodok prison camp along with her elderly parents and four young children, for gossiping about an affair her friend had with Kim Jong Il. ‘It is a place that would make your hair stand on end,’ she said in a video released by Amnesty International today. Scroll down for video . Kim Young Soon spent nine years in Yodok prison camp for gossiping about an affair her friend had with Kim Jong Il. Her parents and four young children were imprisoned with her and all of them died in the camp . Satellite images of the Yodok prison camp in North Korea. An estimated 200,000 peopled are interred in prison camps throughout the country . Ms Kim’s elderly parents and four children, aged nine, seven, four and one, were also sent to the prison camps for her alleged crime. They all died from starvation and hard labour. ‘When my parents starved to death, I didn’t have coffins for them. I wrapped their bodies in straw, carried them on my back and went to bury them myself. And the children… I lost all my family,’ she said. A former prison guard, speaking anonymously to Amnesty, said that this strategy, called 'guilt-by-association' was implemented to fulfil the aim of ‘exterminating the three generations of a family.’ The guard also revealed how officials would rape women from the camp and then kill them. He spoke of the two execution methods used by prison officers to kill inmates. The first involved getting them to dig their own grave and then hitting them in the back of the head with a small metal hammer. The other method involved strangulation with a rubber rope. More than 200,000 people are believed to be held in North Korean prison camps, according to independent estimates. The video comes as the United Nations today releases their findings on human rights violations in North Korea. The United Nations Commission of Inquiry on human rights in North Korea was set up last March to investigate 11 different areas, including food deprivation, torture, executions, and religious persecution. Michael Kirby, chairman of the inquiry, said that inmates in North Korea’s prison camps suffered ‘unspeakable atrocities’, comparable to the treatment of prisoners by the Nazis during the Second World War. ‘The entire body of evidence gathered so far points to what appear to be large-scale patterns of systematic and gross human rights violations,’ Justice Kirby, a former judge of Australia's High Court, told the U.N. General Assembly's human rights committee last October. Camp: Conditions at North Korean prison camps are brutal, with endless tales of starvation and executions . Labour: One former prisoner says pregnant women were forced to do strenuous labour to force miscarriages . 'You are haunted by the nightmarish image in dreams': Joo Il-Kim, a former military captain spoke about witnessing public executions in North Korea . Park Ji-hyun was sent to a prison camp after she attempted to escape from a Chinese farmer to whom she had been sold . A former prison guard speaks anonymously to Amnesty International about the atrocities that are committed in the prisons of North Korea . Another survivor who shared her testimony in the Amnesty International video was Park Ji-hyun. She was sent to a prison camp in Onsung, after she attempted to escape from a Chinese farmer to whom she had been sold. She told of the horrific treatment of women in the camp, all of whom were forced to take a pregnancy test upon arrival at the camp. ‘They would force abortion after the pregnancy test,’ Ms Park said. ‘Pregnant women get sent to labour camps to carry loads up and down the hills which cause miscarriages.’ Many detainees in these camps die of hard labour. Ms Park said that women were forced to function as livestock, pulling carts laden with a tonne of soil. ‘We couldn’t do this at a walking pace either. We had to run,’ she said. Those in the camps would often have to labour from 4:30am until dark, and then attend meetings until midnight. Joo Il-Kim, a former military captain, talked of the starvation rife throughout the country. Starvation is such a problem that prisoners would resort to eating animal feed, or even beans and maize kernels stuck in animal dung. Isolation: North Korea's prisons are so isolated it's hard to get a grasp of the endless atrocities that occur within their walls . Starved: North Koreans sometimes resort to eating undigested food found in animal feces . ‘I saw piles of bodies [of people] who have died from starvation in public places,’ said Mr Joo. The former captain also describes the practice of public executions, which he alleges is common in the closed country. ‘People scream in horror at this sight. The crowd roars. It is so gruesome, you instinctively close your eyes or turn your head away… When all the gunshots have died down, you look and the body is heaped onto the ground. You cannot sleep after witnessing it. You are haunted by the nightmarish image in dreams,’ he said. The United Nations has stated its hope that the year-long investigation, which involved speaking to North Korean exiles in Seoul, Tokyo, London and Washington, might pave the way for criminal prosecution. But survivors who provided testimony to the U.N. panel are sceptical that the report will have any effect on the regime. Slave labor: Prisoners are often forced to work from sunrise to sundown and are forced to attend 'meetings' until after midnight . March: Laborers are often forced to walk 12 to 14 miles to work plowing fields . Attempts at prosecution are likely to be blocked by China, North Korea’s closest ally. North Korea calls any criticism of its human rights record a U.S.-led conspiracy. Mr Joo, the former military captain featured in the Amnesty International video says that despite the challenges of ending the alleged human rights violations, the only hope for the country is that stories of such atrocities need to be told. ‘People in the UK and the international community should know the reality of North Korea. Once you know what the reality is, the voice to improve the situation in North Korea can follow,’ he said.

Forget flash cars, expensive restaurants and lavish bouquets - the way to impress the nation’s women is to fasten on a tool belt and get drilling. High maintenance females have voted DIY skills sexier in a man than sporting prowess and cooking capabilities. A new study has revealed women’s top turn ons - and turn offs - when it comes to a man's skill set, taking in everything from assembling furniture and unblocking drains to scoring on the football pitch or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Handy man: 74 per cent of women revealed that a sexy trait in a man is an ability to DIY - including putting up shelves . In at number one, 74 per cent of women revealed that a sexy trait in a man is an ability to DIY - including putting up shelves, basic building, putting up blinds and laying decking in the garden. A staggering 61 per cent claimed they would actually be put off a potential partner if he wasn’t practical around the house. Furthermore, despite there being a big increase in recent years of the number of women willing to try their hands at DIY, a massive 68 per cent believe that it is a man’s job and they would find it unattractive if they were better at it than their partner. The second sexiest skill to have is sporting prowess, with 69 per cent of women finding sporting ability a key factor when looking for the ideal man. Sexy skills: While DIY was voted the sexiest skill, athletic abilities and culinary skills (as demonstrated by David Beckham and Jamie Oliver) were also voted in the top five . Any budding Jamie Olivers out there will be pleased to know that capacity to cook comes third on the list of attractive qualities. Proficient driving and managing finances complete the set. Jon Gough from Spaceslide.co.uk, who commissioned the research, said: 'When men's skill sets came under scrutiny, it seems men who are willing to get their hands dirty are those deemed the most attractive. 'It's interesting that women also judge a man’s ability to score on the football field alongside his ability to score in the bedroom.' Money makers and top gear: Women also like men who can handle their finances like entrepreneur Alan Sugar and men who are good behind the wheel like Jeremy Clarkson .

(CNN) -- Five former Blackwater Worldwide security guards indicted on voluntary manslaughter and other charges in connection with killings in Iraq were released on their own recognizance Monday after a court hearing. Dustin Heard, an ex-security guard from Blackwater Worldwide, surrenders Monday in Salt Lake City, Utah. The charges, which the Justice Department announced Monday, stem from a September 16, 2007, shooting that killed 17 Iraqis in a Baghdad square. A judge ordered the ex-guards to appear for another court hearing in Washington on January 6. The 35-count indictment charges each of the former guards with 14 counts of manslaughter, 20 counts of attempted manslaughter and one count of using a firearm in the commission of a violent crime. Prosecutors do not believe they have enough evidence to bring manslaughter charges on three of the 17 deaths. If convicted, the defendants would face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each manslaughter count, seven years in prison for each count of attempted manslaughter and a 30-year mandatory minimum sentence for the firearms charge. Watch victims speak of the shooting » . The men named in the indictment are Donald Ball, 26, of West Valley City, Utah; Dustin Heard, 27, of Maryville, Tennessee; Evan Liberty, 26, of Rochester, New Hampshire; Nicholas Slatten, 24, of Sparta, Tennessee; and Paul Slough, 29, of Keller, Texas. Watch Ball's mother speak out » . A sixth former security guard -- Jeremy P. Ridgeway, 35, of California -- pleaded guilty last Friday in Washington to voluntary manslaughter and attempt to commit manslaughter. The five men turned themselves in to federal authorities in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Monday morning and then were released on their own recognizance, which means that they were released without bail on a promise that they will return for the trial. Watch the scene in front of the courthouse » . "We take no pleasure in charging individuals whose job it was to protect the men and women of our country," said Jeffrey A. Taylor, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. "But when individuals are alleged to have violated the law while carrying out those duties, we are duty-bound to hold them accountable, as no one is above the law, even when our country is engaged in war." The indictment of the five men represents the first prosecution of non-Defense Department contractors under the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act, which was amended in 2004 to allow the Justice Department to prosecute such personnel providing services "in support of the mission of the Department of Defense overseas." The attorneys for the defendants say that Blackwater's employees in Iraq are exempt from the provisions of the act because the company has a contract in Iraq with the State Department, not the Defense Department. Mark Hulkower, defense attorney for Slough, blamed the killings on insurgents who used civilians as "shields" in Iraq. Hulkower said his client and the other defendants were just trying to do their jobs in a very chaotic situation. "These young men were fighting for their lives in a crowded area," Hulkower said to reporters on the steps of the courthouse Monday. "What happened was a tragedy, but not every tragedy is a crime. We are confident that this case will be dismissed." The federal magistrate judge in the case initially ordered all five suspects barred from using firearms as one of the conditions for their release. Attorneys in the case argued against this vigorously, saying the suspects were hunters and one of the suspects needed to use a gun for his job as a court bailiff. The judge allowed the court bailiff, Ball, to use his gun for work but barred the others from using firearms. The hearing was packed with relatives of the suspects, and about a dozen soldiers in uniform could be seen in the courtroom. Defense attorneys pushed for the Utah judge to have a probable cause hearing, a preliminary hearing that determines if the government has enough evidence to go to trial. But the judge ordered that the probable cause hearing should occur on January 6 in Washington. The six guards were informed during the summer that they were targets of the investigation into the 2007 shooting. Blackwater says its employees were returning fire after coming under attack from armed insurgents, but an Iraqi investigation concluded that the guards randomly fired at civilians without provocation. The former guards' company, Blackwater Worldwide, will not face charges. In a statement released shortly after the indictments were announced, Blackwater reiterated its position that its former employees had not acted improperly. "Based on the information available to us, we understand that these individuals acted within the rules set forth for them by the government and that no criminal violations occurred," the statement said. Blackwater also complained about a number of "misguided assumptions and generalizations that surrounded this unfortunate incident. ... [Blackwater's] work has been mischaracterized and all of our personnel unfairly maligned." At the same time, the company noted that if "it is determined that an individual acted improperly, then Blackwater supports holding that person accountable." None of the former guards has worked for Blackwater since 2007, company spokeswoman Anne Tyrrell said. An Iraqi official familiar with the investigation said that an FBI team and two U.S. prosecutors working on the case will meet in Baghdad on Saturday with more than 60 Iraqis involved in the incident. The meeting is intended to brief the Iraqis on the status of the case. Blackwater said its guards were protecting a U.S. diplomatic convoy when they came under attack from armed insurgents. The guards returned fire, Blackwater said. But an Iraqi investigation called the killings "premeditated murder" and accused the guards of firing on civilians indiscriminately. The first U.S. soldiers to arrive on the scene told military investigators they found no evidence the contractors were fired upon, a source familiar with a preliminary U.S. military report told CNN. The indictments are "a step in the right direction," said Mohammad Abdul Razzaq, whose 9-year-old son, Ali, was killed at Nusoor Square in Baghdad. "It was heinous crime and a painful incident, [but] we can overcome that if a just verdict is handed down." Hassan Salman, an Iraqi lawyer wounded in the shootings, said that the "American judicial system, known for its integrity, should hand down [to] the perpetrators of this heinous crime against the Iraqi people nothing less than death sentences." The complex legal case has been dogged by difficulties and may present a major challenge to federal prosecutors. Among the potential problems is that the law under which the charges are expected to be brought covers contractors working for the U.S. military, but the Blackwater guards were contracted by the State Department. Some independent legal experts question whether U.S. courts have jurisdiction in this case. Also muddying the waters are alleged assurances of immunity given to the guards by State Department diplomatic security agents investigating the incident before the FBI got involved. The State Department said its agents did not offer blanket immunity from criminal prosecution but only promised that statements the guards made on the scene could not be used against them in any prosecution. But when the investigation was turned over to the Justice Department to examine possible criminal activity, FBI agents discovered some guards believed they were immune from prosecution and therefore refused to be interviewed again, complicating the FBI probe. The shooting heightened tensions between U.S. and Iraqi government officials and contributed to a protracted debate over the extent of immunity that U.S. military personnel and civilian contractors have from Iraqi laws. Security contractors had immunity from Iraqi law under a provision put in place in the early days of the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. But starting next year, under a U.S.-Iraq security agreement that Baghdad approved last week, Iraq will have the "primary right to exercise jurisdiction" over U.S. contractors and their employees. The State Department, which employed Blackwater to protect U.S. diplomats and other employees, renewed Blackwater's contract this year over strong objections from the Iraqi government. CNN's Kevin Bohn, Terry Frieden, Jomana Karadsheh, Elise Labott, Justine Redman, Alan Silverleib and Kara Finnstrom contributed to this report.

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama fought back and Republican challenger Mitt Romney mostly stood his ground in a bruising, argumentative debate three weeks before Election Day. With a third and final debate to go, both candidates appeared likely to secure their standing in an already tight race that portends a cliffhanger presidential vote. Read a version of this story in Arabic . On Wednesday, both campaigns will continue their focus on battleground states considered crucial to winning the White House. Obama heads to Iowa and Ohio and Vice President Joe Biden campaigns in Colorado and Nevada, while Romney will go to Virginia and running mate Rep. Paul Ryan stops in Ohio. Tuesday night saw Obama bring the desired energy sought by worried Democrats after the president's lackluster performance in the first encounter two weeks ago. This time, a forceful Obama defended his policies and challenged Romney on shifting positions on key issues while arguing his Republican rival's proposals would favor the wealthy if elected on November 6. Romney repeatedly attacked Obama's record, saying millions of unemployed people and a sluggish economic recovery showed the president's policies had failed. Five things we learned from the second presidential debate . A CNN/ORC International poll indicated that 46% of respondents who watched the debate thought Obama won, compared to 39% for Romney. The result was within the survey's margin of error, and responses to other questions showed the overall impression was generally positive for both candidates. After the first debate on October 3 in Denver, a similar poll showed Romney scored a solid victory in the eyes of more than 60% of respondents. "Most improved -- that award goes to Barack Obama," CNN Senior Political Analyst David Gergen said, comparing the president's performance on Tuesday to his previous showing. "I think he had a much stronger debate tonight." Daily Beast's Andrew Sullivan, who called Obama's poll numbers after the first debate "devastating," predicted the president would come "kicking back in the polls" in coming days. Erick Erickson, the conservative RedState.com blogger and CNN contributor, thought Romney won the debate based on "clear majorities outside the margin of error" in the CNN/ORC poll who thought Romney would be better for the country on economic issues. Read the transcript of the debate or watch it on CNN.com . "In fact, while other areas of the debate may overshadow this point, Romney deftly dispatched Obama on his economic record," Erickson said, calling it "the one issue that matters." An awkward phrase by Romney in addressing gender pay inequality was creating the most buzz around the debate. Romney said when he was elected governor of Massachusetts, all the applicants for cabinet positions were men, so he sought out women applicants. "I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks?' and they brought us whole binders full of women." Before the debate was over "binders full of women" had a Twitter hashtag, a series of memes on Tumblr, and a Facebook page with over more than 100,000 fans. The phrase was the third-fastest rising search on Google during the debate. Both candidates walked the floor with microphones in hand at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, raising their voices at times and repeatedly challenging each other's points during the 90-plus minute debate that featured a town hall-style format. Moderator Candy Crowley, the CNN chief political correspondent, tried in vain at times to prevent each candidate from going over allotted time, with Obama speaking for more than three minutes longer than Romney on the night. Obama was on the attack from the start, but waited until his final answer -- with no chance for Romney to respond -- to raise his opponent's controversial "47%" comments at a fundraiser in May. In remarks made public by a secretly recorded video of the event, Romney described 47% of the country as people dependent on government aid who refused to take personal responsibility. Analysis: Romney whiffs on some easy pitches . "Think about who he was talking about," Obama said, listing people on Social Security "who've worked all their lives," veterans "who've sacrificed for this country," students, soldiers and "people working hard every day." The president said he wanted to fight for those people "because if they succeed, I believe the country succeeds." Earlier, Obama went after Romney's five-point economic plan that the GOP candidate repeated two times during the second debate, saying it really was a one-point plan "and that plan is to make sure that folks at the top play by a different set of rules." Romney shot back that "if you elect President Obama, you know what you're going to get -- you're going to get a repeat of the last four years." Over and over, Romney repeated what he called the failings of Obama's policies including rising federal deficits and debts, more than 20 million people unemployed and anemic economic growth. "We don't have to settle for what we're going through," Romney said at one point. "We don't have to settle for gasoline at four bucks. We don't have to settle for unemployment at a chronically high level. We don't have to settle for 47 million people on food stamps. We don't have to settle for 50 percent of kids coming out of college not able to get work. We don't have to settle for 23 million people struggling to find a good job." Town hall format leads to close-quarter exchanges . Obama was "great as a speaker, but his policies don't work," Romney said. Attempting to rebut Obama's criticism of his own policies, Romney insisted he would prioritize middle class growth, saying "it's about how we can get the middle class of this country a bright and prosperous future." However, Romney failed to provide further specifics of his tax policy, even when one audience member asked about unspecified deductions and loopholes the candidate says he will eliminate. On a sensitive foreign policy topic, the candidates clashed at the front of the stage over the September 11 terrorist attack in Libya that killed four Americans, with Romney suggesting the Obama administration played politics by failing to immediately acknowledge what happened. Obama shot back that the suggestion anyone in his administration would play politics on such an issue was "offensive." When Obama said he called it a terrorist attack shortly after it occurred, Romney challenged him, and Obama responded "check the transcript." CNN Electoral Map . Crowley cut in to say both men were right -- Obama referred to terrorism shortly after the attack, but the administration took longer to fully explain what occurred. Unlike the first presidential debate, the town hall-style format allowed audience members to ask the questions. Crowley, the first woman to serve as moderator of a presidential debate in 20 years, tried to get in as many questions as possible from the uncommitted voters in the hall, sometimes struggling to cut off the candidates as they tried to make points or argued with each other. The first question came from a 20-year-old college student, worried about whether he'd be able to support himself after graduation. "More debt and less jobs. I'm going to change that. I know what it takes to create good jobs again," Romney said, addressing the first-time voter. "When you come out in 2014 -- I presume I'm going to be president -- I'm going to make sure you get a job." Test your knowledge with debate trivia . Later questions addressed immigration, with Romney saying Obama failed to deliver on a promise to pass a major immigration overhaul while the president said Romney backed conservative positions such as opposing a measure that gives some children of unregistered immigrants a path to legal status. Obama repeated his past criticism that Romney's tax plan doesn't add up, saying "when he's asked how are you going to do it, which deductions, which loopholes are you going to close, he can't tell you." "You're going to be paying for it," Obama said of middle class taxpayers. "You're going to lose some deductions, and you can't buy the sales pitch. Nobody who's looked at it that's serious actually believes it adds up." Funniest tweets on the second presidential debate . Romney, meanwhile, repeatedly insisted his plan won't raise taxes for middle class Americans but also won't raise or lower the tax burden on the wealthy, in contrast to Obama's proposal to let tax rates on the top 2% of wage earners return to higher tax rates from the Clinton era. The president needed a strong debate to try to blunt Romney's rise in the polls after their first showdown. The most recent CNN "poll of polls" -- an aggregate of the latest major surveys -- showed Romney with a slight edge nationally at 48%-47%. In the battleground states considered up-for-grabs, polls show Romney has narrowed Obama's lead or caught the president. The Obama campaign conceded he had a bad night in the first debate and promised a more aggressive approach in New York. A third and final debate focusing on foreign policy will take place October 22 in Florida. Polls show voters consider the economy to be the most important election issue.

However, continuing high unemployment and slow growth have made the president vulnerable.

By . Neil Simpson . PUBLISHED: . 17:00 EST, 8 December 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 19:06 EST, 8 December 2012 . The problems started a couple of months after Judith Hitchins gave birth to her second son. ‘The first thing I noticed was some discomfort, but when I pressed on my tummy I could feel a lump – it was about the size of a ping-pong ball,’ recalls the 39-year-old from Warrington, Cheshire. ‘Obviously, I was worried – when you find a lump you instantly think cancer.’ Her GP referred her to an NHS gynaecologist, who said it was likely to be nothing but that it should be removed and tested to make sure. ‘They said this operation would allow them to make a proper diagnosis,’ says Judith. There would be a three-month wait to have surgery on the NHS – but in 2010, Judith had taken out private health insurance with PruHealth. ‘I was pleased I’d finally get to use it, and hoped I could be seen in a matter of weeks. That’s why you take out these policies,’ she says. Anger: Judith Hitchins, pictured with her sons Will and James, fought against her private health insurance company for six months over compensation . Judith contacted PruHealth, and during a conversation with a telephone operator mentioned that she had suffered from endometriosis in the past – a common condition that causes growths around the uterus. This admission triggered a chain of events that led to her claim being held up for six months, and ultimately being turned down. She managed to have the decision reversed – but only on the night before her operation. Judith says the whole experience was ‘incredibly stressful’ and made her question why she’d bothered to pay into a policy in the first place. And hers is not an isolated case. A perfect storm is brewing in Britain’s £5 billion-a-year private medical insurance industry. Premiums are rising, policyholder numbers are falling – and complaints about high charges and poor service have triggered an official investigation by watchdogs the Competition Commission. Health how-to: Make sure you are not caught unawares by the small print of your health insurance policy . In theory, private medical insurance . allows you to avoid NHS waiting lists and get treated where, when and by . whom you choose, ideally in your own room at a private hospital or on a . private NHS ward. But cover is being reduced on every type of policy. Those with comprehensive plans are being hit as firms slash the amount . they pay surgeons for carrying out popular procedures. A year ago Bupa paid private doctors up to £761 per eye for cataract surgery. Today it’s £289. It means many top surgeons are no longer available to Bupa customers. If policyholders want to see them, they have to pay the difference. The Financial Services Ombudsman has seen . a surge in complaints from policyholders over shrinking lists of . approved surgeons and hospitals, rising premiums and the availability of . new or ‘experimental’ cancer drugs. There are many arguments over the . small print that governs what will and won’t be covered. In Judith’s . case, it was her honesty about having suffered a possibly related . pre-existing condition that caused her problems. She . says: ‘In the months after my first conversation with a telephone . operator, I called at least eight times, always having to start from the . beginning with someone new. ‘They said they covered only diagnostic procedures, which this was. But because I’d mentioned my pre-existing condition, they said the op was a treatment for that, which wouldn’t be covered. In fact, the doctors just didn’t know what the lump was, and all this time I was worried and in pain. They told me “We have to be careful of fraudulent claims”, which made me even more angry.’ In the end Judith, 39, who lives with her husband Chris and two boys, James, four, and nine-month-old Will, turned to their insurance broker, which called PruHealth on her behalf and got approval for the procedure. Then, in September, two days before her operation, the insurer called again to say her claim had been declined. ‘I’d mentioned the position of the lump – close to my caesarean scar – to their rep. The guy explained that it had been decided the problem was related to the birth, and therefore not covered. I just exploded. They’d only got all this information because I was honest when answering questions.’ Judith went back to her broker, who successfully intervened a second time, and the operation went ahead. ‘I got the green light the night before the op. The lump was benign, but the whole process was utterly stressful.’ Brian Walters, of medical insurance broker Regency Health in Cheltenham, helped Judith get her claim paid. He says her case shows how important it is to have someone on your side in the event of a dispute. ‘Brokers can be your advocate and should have the contacts and the inside knowledge to pursue your claim effectively,’ he explains. David Priestley, at PruHealth says: . ‘We try to make every claim as smooth as possible but sometimes we need . extra information from policyholders and professionals so claims can’t . always be agreed in a single phone conversation. However, in this . instance our claims process was not up to its usual high standards for . which we are very sorry.’ If . you don’t have access to an independent broker, the best advice is to . be cautious when you contact your insurer and to simply read out the . details on your referral rather than talking to – and risking getting . tripped up by – the phone operator. The . world of health insurance has become a minefield. To help, we have . quizzed insurance insiders, doctors and patients to take the temperature . of an industry on the edge of a crisis. Plenty . of Britons say private medical insurance has saved their lives. Access . to the right specialists at the right time can make any premiums worth . paying. But critics say . policies promise more than they deliver, with confusing small print. So . how do you choose and make the best of a private provider? No cover: Cystic fibrosis sufferer Cavan Arrowsmith . Cavan Arrowsmith knows that claiming on private medical insurance won’t be easy – because it’s been hard enough getting quotes in the first place. Cavan, 26, is an IT technologist for a mortgage company in Birmingham. He’s fit and healthy – but because he has cystic fibrosis, policies are only ever offered on special terms. He says: ‘The big providers such as Aviva, Axa and Bupa won’t cover anything related to that pre-existing condition. 'I’m happy using the NHS to keep my CF in check but I’m concerned that any illness or disease in later life won’t be covered because of it.’ Most insurers say pre-existing conditions can start to be covered after at least two problem-free years. As something like CF may require changing treatment, it may never lose its ‘pre-existing’ tag. Cavan is now discussing policies with an independent broker – and experts say he is right to get help. ‘Nowadays it is all but impossible for consumers to make a reliable comparison when they buy private medical insurance. It is complicated at the best of times and individual medical circumstances add a further layer of complexity,’ says broker Brian Walters. Paying out: Gretchen Pierce . Gretchen Pierce, 45, made a successful claim for foot surgery via Axa in 2011, and chose a surgeon who had performed a metatarsal operation for Wayne Rooney. Gretchen’s operation was a success and she was soon back at work promoting London’s museums to tourists. But her policy stopped paying out when she reached the £1,000 limit for physiotherapy, even though she needed four extra sessions at £90 a time. Private prescriptions weren’t covered either so Gretchen, left, spent almost £100 on painkillers. Sarah Pennells of SavvyWoman financial advisers, says: ‘Insurers put a lot of emphasis on the things they cover and skate over the things they don’t. 'As a consumer you need to think about the full picture when you decide on a policy.’

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.By . Neil Simpson . PUBLISHED: . 17:00 EST, 8 December 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 19:06 EST, 8 December 2012 . The problems started a couple of months after Judith Hitchins gave birth to her second son. ‘The first thing I noticed was some discomfort, but when I pressed on my tummy I could feel a lump – it was about the size of a ping-pong ball,’ recalls the 39-year-old from Warrington, Cheshire. ‘Obviously, I was worried – when you find a lump you instantly think cancer.’ Her GP referred her to an NHS gynaecologist, who said it was likely to be nothing but that it should be removed and tested to make sure. ‘They said this operation would allow them to make a proper diagnosis,’ says Judith. There would be a three-month wait to have surgery on the NHS – but in 2010, Judith had taken out private health insurance with PruHealth. ‘I was pleased I’d finally get to use it, and hoped I could be seen in a matter of weeks. That’s why you take out these policies,’ she says. Anger: Judith Hitchins, pictured with her sons Will and James, fought against her private health insurance company for six months over compensation . Judith contacted PruHealth, and during a conversation with a telephone operator mentioned that she had suffered from endometriosis in the past – a common condition that causes growths around the uterus. This admission triggered a chain of events that led to her claim being held up for six months, and ultimately being turned down. She managed to have the decision reversed – but only on the night before her operation. Judith says the whole experience was ‘incredibly stressful’ and made her question why she’d bothered to pay into a policy in the first place. And hers is not an isolated case. A perfect storm is brewing in Britain’s £5 billion-a-year private medical insurance industry. Premiums are rising, policyholder numbers are falling – and complaints about high charges and poor service have triggered an official investigation by watchdogs the Competition Commission. Health how-to: Make sure you are not caught unawares by the small print of your health insurance policy . In theory, private medical insurance . allows you to avoid NHS waiting lists and get treated where, when and by . whom you choose, ideally in your own room at a private hospital or on a . private NHS ward. But cover is being reduced on every type of policy. Those with comprehensive plans are being hit as firms slash the amount . they pay surgeons for carrying out popular procedures. A year ago Bupa paid private doctors up to £761 per eye for cataract surgery. Today it’s £289. It means many top surgeons are no longer available to Bupa customers. If policyholders want to see them, they have to pay the difference. The Financial Services Ombudsman has seen . a surge in complaints from policyholders over shrinking lists of . approved surgeons and hospitals, rising premiums and the availability of . new or ‘experimental’ cancer drugs. There are many arguments over the . small print that governs what will and won’t be covered. In Judith’s . case, it was her honesty about having suffered a possibly related . pre-existing condition that caused her problems. She . says: ‘In the months after my first conversation with a telephone . operator, I called at least eight times, always having to start from the . beginning with someone new. ‘They said they covered only diagnostic procedures, which this was. But because I’d mentioned my pre-existing condition, they said the op was a treatment for that, which wouldn’t be covered. In fact, the doctors just didn’t know what the lump was, and all this time I was worried and in pain. They told me “We have to be careful of fraudulent claims”, which made me even more angry.’ In the end Judith, 39, who lives with her husband Chris and two boys, James, four, and nine-month-old Will, turned to their insurance broker, which called PruHealth on her behalf and got approval for the procedure. Then, in September, two days before her operation, the insurer called again to say her claim had been declined. ‘I’d mentioned the position of the lump – close to my caesarean scar – to their rep. The guy explained that it had been decided the problem was related to the birth, and therefore not covered. I just exploded. They’d only got all this information because I was honest when answering questions.’ Judith went back to her broker, who successfully intervened a second time, and the operation went ahead. ‘I got the green light the night before the op. The lump was benign, but the whole process was utterly stressful.’ Brian Walters, of medical insurance broker Regency Health in Cheltenham, helped Judith get her claim paid. He says her case shows how important it is to have someone on your side in the event of a dispute. ‘Brokers can be your advocate and should have the contacts and the inside knowledge to pursue your claim effectively,’ he explains. David Priestley, at PruHealth says: . ‘We try to make every claim as smooth as possible but sometimes we need . extra information from policyholders and professionals so claims can’t . always be agreed in a single phone conversation. However, in this . instance our claims process was not up to its usual high standards for . which we are very sorry.’ If . you don’t have access to an independent broker, the best advice is to . be cautious when you contact your insurer and to simply read out the . details on your referral rather than talking to – and risking getting . tripped up by – the phone operator. The . world of health insurance has become a minefield. To help, we have . quizzed insurance insiders, doctors and patients to take the temperature . of an industry on the edge of a crisis. Plenty . of Britons say private medical insurance has saved their lives. Access . to the right specialists at the right time can make any premiums worth . paying. But critics say . policies promise more than they deliver, with confusing small print. So . how do you choose and make the best of a private provider? No cover: Cystic fibrosis sufferer Cavan Arrowsmith . Cavan Arrowsmith knows that claiming on private medical insurance won’t be easy – because it’s been hard enough getting quotes in the first place. Cavan, 26, is an IT technologist for a mortgage company in Birmingham. He’s fit and healthy – but because he has cystic fibrosis, policies are only ever offered on special terms. He says: ‘The big providers such as Aviva, Axa and Bupa won’t cover anything related to that pre-existing condition. 'I’m happy using the NHS to keep my CF in check but I’m concerned that any illness or disease in later life won’t be covered because of it.’ Most insurers say pre-existing conditions can start to be covered after at least two problem-free years. As something like CF may require changing treatment, it may never lose its ‘pre-existing’ tag. Cavan is now discussing policies with an independent broker – and experts say he is right to get help. ‘Nowadays it is all but impossible for consumers to make a reliable comparison when they buy private medical insurance. It is complicated at the best of times and individual medical circumstances add a further layer of complexity,’ says broker Brian Walters. Paying out: Gretchen Pierce . Gretchen Pierce, 45, made a successful claim for foot surgery via Axa in 2011, and chose a surgeon who had performed a metatarsal operation for Wayne Rooney. Gretchen’s operation was a success and she was soon back at work promoting London’s museums to tourists. But her policy stopped paying out when she reached the £1,000 limit for physiotherapy, even though she needed four extra sessions at £90 a time. Private prescriptions weren’t covered either so Gretchen, left, spent almost £100 on painkillers. Sarah Pennells of SavvyWoman financial advisers, says: ‘Insurers put a lot of emphasis on the things they cover and skate over the things they don’t. 'As a consumer you need to think about the full picture when you decide on a policy.’

(CNN) -- Two white Atlanta police officers who pulled over and questioned entertainment mogul Tyler Perry have been exonerated of racial profiling by an internal investigation, according to documents released Tuesday. Just after noon on February 24, Perry left his studio in southwest Atlanta alone in a white Porsche Panamera. As the actor and director later explained in a lengthy Facebook post, Perry made an illegal left turn to make sure he wasn't being followed. Two Atlanta police officers in a patrol car pulled Perry over and questioned him for about six minutes before letting him go without issuing a ticket. Perry described the incident as "hostile" and that he felt unsafe. One of the officers continued to "badger him" during questioning, the entertainer said. After a four-month investigation, an internal affairs officer reported, "I would submit the evidence shows the actions of both officers with the regard to the traffic stop of Mr. Perry were justified, lawful and proper." A representative for Perry said he was unavailable. "Tyler Perry is out of the country and unable to comment at this time," said spokeswoman Keleigh Thomas. Perry: 'We are still being racially profiled' The report said the officers were working for the auto theft task force and one thought Perry's $110,000 sports car was similar to one on a list of stolen cars. The officer said that as he turned around Perry made the illegal turn. One officer, a six-year Atlanta police veteran, told investigators that he didn't stop Perry because he was black. "His vehicle had dark, tinted windows," he said, according to the report. His partner, on the force for eight years, testified that he "didn't look at the driver" before the traffic stop. Perry, whose name appears on his license as Emmitt Perry Jr., said on his Facebook post that he explained to the officers that he was trying to make sure he wasn't being followed. One of the officers told investigators he was concerned about Perry's mental state because of his "actions and body languages." A black officer who arrived in a second patrol car recognized Perry and asked one of the other officers whether he knew how famous Perry is. Fire at Tyler Perry's studios limited to backlot facade . The car likely wasn't stolen because "the guy was a billionaire," the officer told his colleagues, explaining that Perry made movies. On the recording of the radio traffic that night, one of the two white officers is heard to say, "I really didn't know who that dude was." The black officer asked Perry what model year his Porsche was and figured out it was newer than the car police had listed as stolen. The officers said they never intended to issue a traffic ticket but wanted to check the car's identification number. The white officers were admonished for not calling in the traffic stop to a dispatcher. The investigator also said it was debatable as to whether one of the officers should have reached into Perry''s vehicle in an attempt to turn off the engine. The report said that there was no dashboard camera in either patrol car. Police didn't interview Perry personally, but used his Facebook statement as evidence, investigators said. Trailor Park: See Tyler Perry in 'Alex Cross' CNN's J.D. Cargill contributed to this report.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . A rape victim broke down in tears at a news conference yesterday as she recalled the moment a police officer told her 'women need to stop spreading their legs like peanut butter' when she complained that her attacker was allowed back on campus just two weeks after the assault. Kylie Angell, a nurse who graduated from the University of Connecticut in May, said the school initially expelled her attacker, but . readmitted him two weeks later without informing her of that decision. She found out when he approached her in the cafeteria and stroked her arm. Angell and six other women who were victims of sexual assault while they were students there filed a federal discrimination complaint on Monday against the school, claiming it did not take measures to protect them or even properly investigate the incidents.

High-profile attorney Gloria Allred announced on Monday she is representing the students and filed the complaint to the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights on their behalf. 'They . are simply tired of seeing women being raped and sexually assaulted at . the university while the administration chose deliberate indifference,' Allred said in a news conference in Hartford on Monday. Angell was one of four complainants who appeared with Allred at the news conference to go public with their stories. She described going to campus police after her assailant accosted her in the dining hall. 'The officer told me, "Women need to stop spreading their legs like peanut butter or rape is going to keep happening until the cows come home",' Angell said. 'Shocked, I left feeling confused, violated, traumatized and vulnerable.' Four current students and three recent graduates are asking for an investigation under the federal Title IX law, which protects students from sexual discrimination in any education program that receives federal aid. Victim: Kylie Angell, left, cries as she describes the effect being on the same campus as her attacker has had on her life . UConn issued a statement saying that while the women's cases remain confidential, the school felt each was handled appropriately. 'The University of Connecticut takes allegations of this nature extremely seriously, as the health and well-being of our students is a top priority. 'Our response protocol for these and other alleged incidents of sexual assault is in line with or exceeds best practices. 'We always must be mindful of the rights of the accused and the accuser while upholding our commitment to protecting the safety of our campus community,' the statement read. It said it would welcome any new information. It also said that in the interest of transparency, if would detail how each case was handled if the women agree to waive their rights to privacy. 'Our students should reasonably expect protection and due process,' the school said. 'They deserve the best response in the nation, and we're committed to ensuring that right.' No criminal charges have been brought in any of the cases. Senior Erica Daniels said she was drugged and raped by a co-worker on campus. She said she did not report her rape immediately, and was told by the school's Office of Community Standards that not enough information existed to take any action. 'I don't understand why my statement about what happened is not enough for a hearing,' she said. 'How many women are raped and witnesses are present?' Junior Rose Richi said she initially didn't feel comfortable reporting her sexual assault because her attacker was a male athlete and there is an 'overwhelming privilege of athletes on this campus'. She said when she did report the crime, the investigating officer told her he did not believe her. Allred said the school is required to investigate, potentially hold hearings, listen to witnesses and notify both sides of their findings. She would not say if she plans to file lawsuits on the women's behalf, but said she is working with a Connecticut lawyer on their cases.

The civil rights complaint, if upheld, could lead to sanctions including the loss of federal funds. Carolyn Luby, the lead complainant, said they want much more than that. 'Federal sanctions would be the tip of the iceberg of what we would want,' she said. 'We would want cultural change, policy change, administrative change.' Luby said the school still has not responded to the death and rape threats she received after writing an open letter to President Susan Herbst in April about the culture on campus. The letter, which in part criticized the school's new logo as menacing, was held up to ridicule on the Internet and on conservative talk radio. She received rape and death threats, the Huffington Post reports. People walked by her on campus and called her 'a bitch', she said. One email she received told her, 'I hope you get raped by a husky', and another said, 'I wish you would've run in the Boston marathon'. Fraternity members sexually harassed her, Luby said, making statements like: 'Don't worry, we won't rape you,' as they drove by. Luby said police told her to deal with the threats by wearing a hat on campus so she would not be recognized. Speaking to reporters on campus Monday, UConn President Susan Herbst said she had not seen the complaint, but pointed out that both she and the school's police chief are women.

By . Amanda Williams . Becky Bell, 7, from Hartlepool, who died of brain cancer. Her parents have been told they will have to pay £650 a year to keep her untouched bedroom . The parents of a young cancer victim have been told they will have to pay more than £650 a year to keep her untouched bedroom when charges for under-occupied homes come into force. The ashes of seven-year-old Becky Bell have been kept in her bedroom, which has been left exactly as it was when she lost her battle with brain cancer in January 2012. But Becky's parents, Julie and Mark, were told the room at their home in Hartlepool was now classed as a 'spare' and that they must pay £56 a month from April. Mrs Bell, 41, said: 'It doesn't bear to think about them calling it a spare room, it's Becky's room. 'It's not her fault she's not here anymore and to us she is still here. 'We don't want to be different to anyone else and some people may think a year is a long time but when you have been through what we have been through it isn't and we are still grieving. 'But the Government don't see that, they don't look at individual circumstances, all they see is the pound signs.' Under the changes, both social housing tenants in employment and those in receipt of housing benefit will be affected by the bedroom tax if they are found to be under-occupying their homes. From April households under-occupancy will see their benefits slashed by around £13 a week for one bedroom or £22 for two bedrooms. Mrs Bell, who is currently out of work, and Mr Bell, 37, a part-time taxi driver are Housing Hartlepool tenants and receive around £40 a week in housing benefits. With the introduction of the bedroom tax they will need to pay £672 a year for Becky's room. Becky's parents visited their local MP Iain Wright to appeal for help. Mr Wright described the circumstances as 'heartbreaking' and has sent a letter to the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Iain Duncan Smith, expressing his dismay at the situation. Mrs Bell, who is also a mother to Vicki, 24, and Mark, 12, added: 'It's not the money that's the issue. 'If we did have a spare room we would be more than happy to pay the money.

'In our house we don't have a spare room, it's Becky's bedroom, everything is still there exactly how it was. 'We are not asking for the world but even if we were allowed another year to grieve. At this moment in time we are still grieving. 'But the Government don't think about the fact that every family is different. 'No two houses are the same but they don't look at that, they just think of the money.' Hartlepool Housing said it was a unique and difficult case. A spokesman added: 'We are very sad at the terrible bereavement that Julie and Mark suffered with the loss of Becky last year. 'We have recently been informing all tenants about the Government’s policy to reduce housing benefit to tenants with spare rooms. We have set up an advice service to discuss individual cases.

A schoolboy has become the world's youngest qualified computer specialist after passing a Microsoft Windows exam at the age of just five. Ayan Qureshi has only just started primary school, but passed the test at Birmingham City University to become a Microsoft Certified Professional. In doing so he has set a new world record for the youngest person ever to pass a Microsoft exam - at the age of five years and 11 months, beating the previous record held by six-year-old Mehroz Yawar from Pakistan. Computer whizz: Ayan Qureshi has become the world's youngest qualified computer specialist after passing a Microsoft Windows exam at the age of just five . Ayan Qureshi has only just started primary school, but passed the test at Birmingham City University to become a Microsoft Certified Professional . Ayan was first introduced to computers when he was just three, by his father Asim, 43, who soon realised his son’s natural aptitude for technology. The IT consultant then built his son a computer lab at the family’s home in Coventry, West Midlands and started preparing Ayan for the complex Microsoft test. After just five months training, Ayan sat the 'Supporting Windows 8.1' assessment for IT professionals alongside several adult candidates, even though at five he will not be able to work for another eight years. Certified: Ayan breezed through the two hour 'Supporting Windows 8.1' exam at Birmingham City University . Workspace: Ayan was first introduced to computers when he was just three, by his father Asim, 43, who built his son this computer lab at the family’s home in Coventry, West Midlands . Ayan breezed through the two hour exam in September and even finished with time to spare before finding out shortly afterwards he had passed. 'We are just so proud of him,' said Mr Qureshi. 'He has plans to take an advanced test in the future but he has to concentrate on school for now. 'He was very interested in computers from the age of three so I started explaining to him about hardware and software and installing programmes. 'I found that whatever I told him, he was able to remember it the next day, so I built a computer lab in our house for him to use, and he loves it. Certificate: The test is normally taken just before or after university by young adults aiming to be information technology technicians . Record breaker: Ayan has set a new world record for the youngest person ever to pass a Microsoft exam - at the age of five years and 11 months, beating the previous record held by six-year-old Mehroz Yawar . 'I showed him how to install Windows and then decided to enter him for this exam. 'It wasn’t easy teaching him every day but he picked it all up in the end.' When Ayan, now six, and his father arrived at the university invigilators were so shocked to see such a young candidate and they said he couldn’t take the exam. However, a phone call to Microsoft rectified the problem and Ayan took his place at a computer alongside the other adult candidates. 'There was just a room full of adults there when we went to take the test on a Saturday, but I’m not sure if they all passed or not,' said Mr Qureshi. 'He wants to keep on learning so I am sure he will be ready to take more exams quite soon. He’s incredible really. 'He enjoys playing computer games like any kid but now he is more interested about how they work.' Fun: Ayan's father says his son, now six, enjoys playing games on computers but is also interested in how they work. He hopes to work with computers when he grows up . The test is normally taken just before or after university by young adults aiming to be information technology technicians. Sections of the assessment included multiple choice, fill in the blanks, drag and drop, and several scenario based questions. The computer based outline test examined the applicants’ knowledge of hardware, software, and their understanding of how Windows works. And the certificate, which he keeps in his bedroom, shows he can use operating systems created by USA computing giant Microsoft. Ayan, who has a younger brother Rayn, three,  has also undertaken some distance learning lessons from London based computer training company IT Bolts. He was born in Lahore, Pakistan, but his father and mother Mamoona, 34, who is training to become a GP, moved to London in 2009. The youngster is yet to decide on a career path but hopes for a job involving his favourite subjects of maths and computing. Employment laws mean the youngest age a child can work part-time is 13, except children involved in areas such as acting and modelling, who can work as long as they have a performance licence. Children over 13 can work for 12 hours a week in term time, and 25 during school holidays.

Istanbul, Turkey (CNN) -- At least one demonstrator died and a bodyguard protecting Turkey's prime minister was hospitalized after clashes erupted around a campaign rally Tuesday, less than two weeks before Turks go to the polls to vote in parliamentary elections. The violence erupted in the Black Sea town of Hopa, where Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was scheduled to address a rally. Turkish television showed protesters hurling stones and climbing police barricades, as security forces fired tear gas and water cannons to break up the demonstration. An emergency room doctor confirmed to CNN that a demonstrator named Metin Lokumcu died of a heart attack after being brought to the emergency room of Hopa State Hospital. But in a statement released on the website of the opposition Freedom and Solidarity Party (ODP), the party's deputy chairman Onder Isleyen accused Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) of killing the protester. "As a result of the AKP's murderous attack, our brother and friend Metin Lokumcu died," Isleyen wrote. "The AKP is attacking the public everywhere using tear gas and batons." Two officials with Erdogan's entourage, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that a demonstrator died in Hopa on Wednesday, though one of the officials told CNN the man died as the result of a heart attack. Later in the day, a small group of demonstrators hurled stones at Erdogan's campaign bus as it was leaving the scene. "One of the stones hit a bodyguard on the head and he fell off the bus, and when he fell he also hit his head on the ground," said one of the officials with Erdogan's campaign, again speaking on condition of anonymity. Turkish television news filmed dramatic footage of the bodyguard tumbling from the bus, apparently unconscious as it sped down the street. The bodyguard was later hospitalized with head-wounds. At a subsequent campaign rally in the Black Sea port of Trabzon, Erdogan lashed out at the protesters, calling them "bandits." "Bandits with stones in their hands came to Hopa and unfortunately, of course, they attacked our vehicles with stones," Erdogan said. Hours later, several hundred flag-waving demonstrators from leftist and secularist political parties hurled bottles and debris at riot police in Istanbul and chanted "murderers" as they ripped down a giant campaign poster of Erdogan. Polls predict Erdogan's party will win another term in office in parliamentary elections scheduled for June 12. The party has been in power since it swept to an initial electoral victory 2002.

(CNN) -- The U.S. Coast Guard closed 98 miles of the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Louisiana, southward after a fuel barge and a tanker collided early Wednesday, spilling more than 400,000 gallons of fuel oil. Coast Guard personnel try to contain a fuel oil spill in the Mississippi River in New Orleans on Wednesday. The closure -- on what is a major shipping route between the Midwest and the Gulf of Mexico -- could last days, and the cleanup could take weeks, said Capt. Lincoln Stroh, the Coast Guard chief in New Orleans. The collision between the Liberian-flagged chemical tanker Tintomara and the barge pushed by the tug Mel Oliver happened about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, splitting the barge nearly in half and dumping more than 419,000 gallons of oil into the river, the Coast Guard said. The accident happened just north of the massive bridges connecting downtown New Orleans to the west bank of the Mississippi, the Coast Guard said. The tanker was undamaged. See a map of where the spill happened » . The Coast Guard said Wednesday evening that the tug had no properly licensed crew on board at the time of the collision. No injuries were reported, and the National Transportation Safety Board said it has dispatched investigators to look into the accident. The accident left a sheen of oil over much of the river and its banks. Booms were deployed to contain the oil, and skimmers are being used to suck it off the surface, said Petty Officer Thomas Blue, a Coast Guard spokesman. Watch scenes from the oil spill » . The spill is much smaller than the ones that followed Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when the Coast Guard estimated that more than 7 million gallons of oil were dumped into the Mississippi and nearby waterways. But Wilma Subra, a chemist who advises the Louisiana Environmental Action Network, said the oil could affect wildlife and work its way up the food chain into residents, many of whom fish for subsistence. "This is a spill that occurred in a very urban area, and it can impact a very large number of people," she said. The oil, widely used as marine fuel, is heavier than diesel but lighter than crude, and it is likely to stick to rocks, trees and wildlife, Stroh said. "Some will evaporate with sunlight, but there will be residuals in the waterway which need to be cleaned up," he said. However, State Department of Environmental Quality officials said the oil is so thick that it could sink, which would complicate the cleanup, the Times-Picayune of New Orleans reported. The Mississippi is the primary source of drinking water for the region, and workers have deployed booms around intakes for local water systems, said Paul Book, the head of the cleanup effort for barge owners American Commercial Lines. Water intakes in the oil spill area -- those for Algiers, Gretna, St. Bernard Parish and Plaquemines Parish -- were closed to prevent contamination, though residents there still could get water through their taps because of reserve supplies, the Times-Picayune reported.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- The U.S. Coast Guard closed 98 miles of the Mississippi River from New Orleans, Louisiana, southward after a fuel barge and a tanker collided early Wednesday, spilling more than 400,000 gallons of fuel oil. Coast Guard personnel try to contain a fuel oil spill in the Mississippi River in New Orleans on Wednesday. The closure -- on what is a major shipping route between the Midwest and the Gulf of Mexico -- could last days, and the cleanup could take weeks, said Capt. Lincoln Stroh, the Coast Guard chief in New Orleans. The collision between the Liberian-flagged chemical tanker Tintomara and the barge pushed by the tug Mel Oliver happened about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, splitting the barge nearly in half and dumping more than 419,000 gallons of oil into the river, the Coast Guard said. The accident happened just north of the massive bridges connecting downtown New Orleans to the west bank of the Mississippi, the Coast Guard said. The tanker was undamaged. See a map of where the spill happened » . The Coast Guard said Wednesday evening that the tug had no properly licensed crew on board at the time of the collision. No injuries were reported, and the National Transportation Safety Board said it has dispatched investigators to look into the accident. The accident left a sheen of oil over much of the river and its banks. Booms were deployed to contain the oil, and skimmers are being used to suck it off the surface, said Petty Officer Thomas Blue, a Coast Guard spokesman. Watch scenes from the oil spill » . The spill is much smaller than the ones that followed Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when the Coast Guard estimated that more than 7 million gallons of oil were dumped into the Mississippi and nearby waterways. But Wilma Subra, a chemist who advises the Louisiana Environmental Action Network, said the oil could affect wildlife and work its way up the food chain into residents, many of whom fish for subsistence. "This is a spill that occurred in a very urban area, and it can impact a very large number of people," she said. The oil, widely used as marine fuel, is heavier than diesel but lighter than crude, and it is likely to stick to rocks, trees and wildlife, Stroh said. "Some will evaporate with sunlight, but there will be residuals in the waterway which need to be cleaned up," he said. However, State Department of Environmental Quality officials said the oil is so thick that it could sink, which would complicate the cleanup, the Times-Picayune of New Orleans reported. The Mississippi is the primary source of drinking water for the region, and workers have deployed booms around intakes for local water systems, said Paul Book, the head of the cleanup effort for barge owners American Commercial Lines. Water intakes in the oil spill area -- those for Algiers, Gretna, St. Bernard Parish and Plaquemines Parish -- were closed to prevent contamination, though residents there still could get water through their taps because of reserve supplies, the Times-Picayune reported. A swifter-than-normal current quickly drew the slick downstream. The Coast Guard initially closed 29 miles of the river but expanded that to 98 miles by Wednesday evening, the service said. The heavy, sticky oil left a "real strong" smell hanging over much of downtown New Orleans, said Carl Bauder, who runs a barber shop near the foot of Canal Street.

(CNN) -- Pope Benedict XVI's resignation captured the world's attention, and rightly. It is the first papal resignation in nearly six centuries. The pope leads a church that includes a sixth of the world's population. His gravitas reverberates outside Roman Catholicism: The pope talks and people listen. Others are fascinated by Vatican spectacle. Benedict speaks Latin and wears gold vestments. His successor's election by conclave, with sequestering and smoke, is high drama. But for all the excitement and ceremony, the pope is not the most important thing about Catholicism. For all his influence, the pope makes up an infinitesimal fraction of the opinions and activities of Catholics. The most important thing about Catholicism is the 1 billion who claim it as their faith. In the wake of updating by the Second Vatican Council, Roman bishops emphasized the role of the laity. Lay activism exploded. Many Catholic theologians stressed the whole community of Catholics working together. Opinion: Why pope will be remembered for generations . The issue is not only what the Church should look like. We should be concerned about media and popular takes on what Catholicism does look like. News coverage of the Church is usually about the hierarchy. Ask average Americans about Catholicism and they likely will mention the pope. This happened for several reasons. No other big religious institution is so centralized. The media covers the pope as Catholicism because it is easy to cover the pope as Catholicism. Place a correspondent in Rome or even just use Vatican press releases. There is no highest authority of Hinduism. There is no international imam of Islam. Also, despite the Vatican II council of the 1960s, popes kept expanding their authority. Benedict XVI endorsed that council but read tradition to support papal sovereignty. If popular opinion overwhelmingly associates Catholicism with the papacy, that's partly because effective Vatican theologizing made it so. Roland Martin: Pope shows true leadership by resigning . Finally, the U.S. has always had an obsession with the pope. Ironically, this obsession had roots in anti-Catholicism. Americans "used" the pope as a way to sharpen national identity. American democracy was contrasted with papal demagoguery, American piety with papal superstition, American modernity with papal obsolescence. U.S. Roman Catholics felt pulled between nation and church. Scholars have noted that American faithful were more pope-identified than coreligionists around the world, as if overcompensating to hold the two sides together. But obsession involves both attraction and loathing. Even ardent anti-Catholics seemed consumed with fascination for the pontiff. The infamous publisher of anti-Catholic comics, Jack Chick depicts decadent popes lofting ominous speech bubbles, precisely capitalizing on the fact that such scenes make gripping graphic art. It's as if the pope — with absolute rule, a throne, pomp and circumstance — taps into a repressed fantasy of crowns and ermine. Perhaps pop god Prince put it best: . So U can be the President . I'd rather be the Pope . Yeah, U can be the side effect . I'd rather be the dope . Arguably Prince is right; the pope is bigger than the president. But the pope is not the dope. At least not for purposes of best analyzing Catholicism. While the popes have attempted to maintain the status quo from the top down, three major phenomena are happening in the Church from the ground up -- and the media would be well advised to pay attention. First, vernacular religion. This refers to religion as it is actually lived, rather than how leaders say it should be lived. A term coined by Leonard Primiano of Cabrini College, vernacular religion highlights that while clerics write creeds and command pulpits, official religion is the tip of the iceberg of religious culture. Opinion: Why next pope must open up church and usher in Vatican III . This became visible in coverage of bishops' activism against President Obama's health care law provisions for artificial birth control. The bishops held the official position that artificial birth control was morally wrong. Most news accounts added that a majority of U.S. Catholic women used it anyway. This addition was a start, but it needs to go further. According to doctrine, women were "going against" their Church. But in terms of vernacular religion, their everyday Catholicism was simply different from the approved version. Second, other Catholics. Last year a Religion Dispatches blog headline read, "Will the Catholic Church Split?" As several noted in the comments, Catholicism has already split. Catholicism is actually not one structurally unified body — and hasn't been since 1054. The Orthodox churches are Catholic, the biggest headed by the Patriarch of Constantinople. The Anglican Communion (including the U.S. Episcopal Church) identifies as both Catholic and Protestant, headed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Old Catholic churches of Europe formed in the late 19th century as harbor for Catholics who rejected papal infallibility; they are in communion with Anglicanism. In the United States at least 200 separate small Catholic churches and clergy associations exist, often with their own bishops. Some are CORPUS, a corps of married priests who celebrate the sacraments; Roman Catholic Womenpriests, who like many others are ordaining women; and the Ecumenical Catholic Communion, which has partnered with the other two groups. Third, flows. Some people live in several Catholic worlds. In the United States, a Catholic woman might attend a Roman parish, work for Catholic Charities, serve as an independent Catholic priest, officiate weddings for divorced Romans on weekends and do Buddhist meditation every morning, too. What would it mean to account for vernacular Catholicism? Non-Roman Catholics? Flows between Rome and other institutions? Understanding one of the world's most populous faiths needs to encompass all of Catholicism -- not just the Roman version. And certainly not just the pope. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Julie Byrne.

(EW.com) -- Thanks to his role as a throne-swiveling talent scout on NBC's hit singing competition The Voice, Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is now a stand-alone star — one who seems awfully pleased to see his every move, from the silly beefs with fellow Voice coach Christina Aguilera to the flings with Victoria's Secret models, get street-fliered across the media landscape. Which makes it all too tempting to put him to his own show's test. What if we could listen to a new Maroon 5 album with our backs turned to the band? If we didn't know about Levine's trysts, his Voice image, and the band's yo-yoing chart history (including 2010's disappointing Hands All Over and last summer's smash ''Moves Like Jagger'')? Would we still hear star potential in these boys from Brentwood? In the case of "Overexposed," Maroon 5's fourth album in 10 years, the answer is mostly no. But not for lack of effort on their part: Inspired, perhaps, by the crossover appeal of ''Jagger,'' the group has drafted pop kingpins Max Martin, Benny Blanco, and Ryan Tedder — who regularly deal dope beats to Britney, Katy, Usher, et al. — to thoroughly Top 40-ify their game. So it's hardly surprising that on much of the album, which never quite finds a balance between rock grit and dance-pop glitz, Maroon 5 barely sound like a band at all. Tracks like ''Love Somebody'' and the Coldplay-ish ''Daylight'' have choruses so thickly produced that the only physical instrument you can reliably pick out is Levine's larynx. Not that he comes off as particularly organic either, since his voice is usually processed into a kind of high, disaffected whine — like a male Rihanna or an android castrato — that's ideal for tracing the contours of a pop hook. His lyrics don't help the songs make up much ground. "Overexposed"'s self-aware title is just about the strongest wordcraft on the album; its verses alternate between horndog rhapsodies (''I light you up when I get inside,'' Levine sings on ''Doin' Dirt'') and bratty put-downs of some Everygirl who always disappoints, whether she's ''drown[''ing''] me in questions'' (''Fortune Teller''), ''feeling so hollow'' (''Love Somebody''), or just being ''such a f---ing snob'' (''Tickets''). The exception is first single ''Payphone,'' an alchemy of elemental pop-rock building blocks that conjures virile longing in the same corny-graceful way as past M5 hits like ''She Will Be Loved.'' Levine's voice soars, the piano and guitar hit notes of bitter nostalgia, and for once the words' hurt feels real. And whether by Pro-Tooled magic or old-fashioned sweat, the song also sounds remarkably like it was recorded in a studio by musicians who actually came together to play as a band — even if one of them was only dropping by on his way to the soundstage.

A retired pensioner has been hit with a tax bill for £4.7billion after Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs sent him a letter demanding £950million a month. Doug Yeomans, 78, from Shardlow in Derbyshire, is fighting tax officials to have the error corrected after he was told he owed £4,742,354,255 in unpaid income tax. The former Grenadier Guardsman, who worked until he was 73, opened the letter on Saturday and was shocked to find the tax office would take the huge sum through a direct debit over five months. Shocked: Doug Yeomans, 78, received a bill from HMRC saying he owed £4,742,354,255 in unpaid income tax . He immediately called staff at HMRC, who told him it 'might have been error'. Mr Yeomans, who spent most of his life working as a builder, said: 'I opened the letter and saw the amount and thought to myself, "I'd better start cutting down on the food bill then". 'They must think I'm a footballer or something, but I don't even think that Russian bloke who owns Chelsea could afford that amount.' He added: 'I think I can probably just about afford the £255, but I think the rest might be pushing it a bit. 'I live off a state pension, topped up with what I put aside as a pension after a lifetime of working in the building trade. 'When I phoned the customs people up to tell them about the tax demand the girl on the other end of the phone said to me "yes, I think in this case there might have been an error". I think she might just be right. Extortionate: The letter said that the money would be a direct debit of £950million a month for five months . 'She said I needed to speak to a different department and gave me a number which I rang and rang. 'But it seems it is easier to get an audience with the Pope than speak to the right person at Revenue and Customs. 'It's laughable really, comical in fact, but I have recovered a lot of bills and demands from them over the past few months so it does worry me sometimes.' He said he will continue to try and speak to the right person and get the mistake corrected. A spokesman for HMRC apologised and said the government department aimed to correct errors as quickly as possible. Mr Yeomans, who retired aged 73, spent most of his life working in the building trade and helped build the M1 . He said: 'We are very sorry to hear of the problems our customer has had and are very sorry about our error. 'We don't talk about individual cases but when we make mistakes we aim to put them right fast and apologise.' During his working life, the father-of-two, whose wife, Mary, died in 2001, helped build the M1 motorway, East Midlands Airport and Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station. He worked initially as a bricklayer and then a civil engineer and was still doing odd jobs as a maintenance man to the age of 73 when he finally retired. His national service in the 1950s saw him serve in the British Army with the Grenadier Guards, stationed at Windsor Castle and in Cyprus.
Doug Yeomans, 78, is fighting tax officials to have an incorrect bill sorted . Former bricklayer was told he owed £4,742,354,255 in unpaid income tax . HMRC said it would take fee in £950million installments over five months . He called office and told it 'might be an error' and given another number . Department he was told to call rang out and he hasn't had issue fixed yet . Office apologised and said it aimed to fix errors as quickly as possible .

'When I phoned the customs people up to tell them about the tax demand the girl on the other end of the phone said to me "yes, I think in this case there might have been an error". I think she might just be right. Extortionate: The letter said that the money would be a direct debit of £950million a month for five months . 'She said I needed to speak to a different department and gave me a number which I rang and rang. 'But it seems it is easier to get an audience with the Pope than speak to the right person at Revenue and Customs. 'It's laughable really, comical in fact, but I have recovered a lot of bills and demands from them over the past few months so it does worry me sometimes.' He said he will continue to try and speak to the right person and get the mistake corrected. A spokesman for HMRC apologised and said the government department aimed to correct errors as quickly as possible. Mr Yeomans, who retired aged 73, spent most of his life working in the building trade and helped build the M1 . He said: 'We are very sorry to hear of the problems our customer has had and are very sorry about our error. 'We don't talk about individual cases but when we make mistakes we aim to put them right fast and apologise.' During his working life, the father-of-two, whose wife, Mary, died in 2001, helped build the M1 motorway, East Midlands Airport and Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station. He worked initially as a bricklayer and then a civil engineer and was still doing odd jobs as a maintenance man to the age of 73 when he finally retired. His national service in the 1950s saw him serve in the British Army with the Grenadier Guards, stationed at Windsor Castle and in Cyprus.

The MoD has been warned that it faces 'a global storm of protest' after it unveiled plans to build homes for soldiers near Stonehenge. Outraged experts claim that the houses would block the world-famous solstice sunrise at the Wiltshire monument. Army bosses want to build 4,000 homes for soldiers and their families returning from Germany on an old airfield overlooking the monument, but experts said the buildings would occupy the exact spot that the sun peeks over the horizon on the longest day of the year.

Plans: The proposed sites for the MoD housing near Stonehenge, just to the north-east of the site . Lighting the way: This map shows the direction of the sunlight at Stonehenge during the summer solstice, and how it intersects the MoD's proposed housing site . It’s an event that’s watched by some 20,000 people and leading archaeo-astronomer Simon Banton predicted there would be uproar if the plan goes ahead. The Stonehenge guide said when the airfield, at Larkhill, was built in 1910, military chiefs left a gap for the sunrise and bosses should similarly respect the ancient monument. He said: ‘Stonehenge is the focus of a World Heritage Site of enormous cultural importance. Controversy: The MoD wants to build houses on a site that experts say is directly in line with the summer solstice sunrise . Stonehenge was built and rebuilt over 600 years in three main phases. The first - begun in 3000BC - saw the creation of a ditch and bank which later enclosed a circle of 56 holes for posts or stones. Around 2600BC the site was transformed into two circles of 82 blue stones brought from the Welsh mountains. Then, 150 years later, the ancient Britons set up 50-ton sarsen stones quarried at Marlborough, 25 miles away. There are dozens of theories about Stonehenge's purpose. At least 52 bodies were cremated and buried at Stonehenge, leading some experts to conclude the site was used for elaborate funerals. Some believe the monument was a centre of medicine with the circle's creators believing the Welsh blue stones had magical powers. The human remains on the site belong to sick people who came to be cured. Others think it is a calendar and observatory as the stones are aligned with the summer and winter solstices - the longest and shortest days of the year. The site, they say, would be used to predict eclipses and to mark lunar cycles. Meanwhile, believers in New Age superstitions claim Stonehenge is a centre of mystical lines of energy that cross Britain. Believers in alien life say Stonehenge was a landing site for flying saucers. ‘It is internationally famous, instantly recognisable and the solstitial alignment of the monument is intrinsic to its original purpose. ‘To propose building across this alignment invites a global storm of protest from groups as diverse as heritage bodies, astronomers, prehistorians, UNESCO, religious orders and the wider public. ‘The MoD needs to demonstrate that it is fully sensitive to the World Heritage Site in order to avoid the potential outrage and reputational damage, not only to itself but also to Britain in the eyes of the world. ‘When Larkhill Aerodrome was first established in the early 20th Century, a series of aeroplane sheds was built along the east side of Wood Road. ‘These early military and civilian aviators were keenly aware of their responsibility and so a wide space was deliberately left between the aeroplane sheds at the north end and those further south in order to allow the Summer Solstice sunrise to continue to shine unobstructed down to Stonehenge.’ He said the gap is already partially obstructed by a copse of tall trees which the Army should also remove to completely restore the sightline from Stonehenge to the horizon. He added: ‘This possibility will be entirely removed if the sites are built upon.’ English Heritage and UNESCO is understood to be considering Mr Banton's report before commenting, but Wiltshire Museum bosses agreed with the expert. Curator David Dawson said: ‘Today, if you look towards the horizon there are some trees but even in 1910 when there were some air hangars built they left a gap between them so that you could still see the sunrise.’ Pagan leader King Arthur Pendragon, 59, vowed to fight any development that would threaten Stonehenge.

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- The Taliban will permit a program of polio vaccination in the volatile Afghanistan-Pakistan border area, their spokesman told CNN in an e-mail Tuesday, after consistent pressure over the issue. The statement comes a day after Afghan President Hamid Karzai called on the Taliban and other insurgents to allow the vaccination teams to help save children from a lifetime of paralysis. It marks the Taliban's latest move to garner respectability amid attempts to get peace talks under way in the region. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said insurgents had been instructed to let the vaccinations take place provided aid workers do not use government facilities. "The polio vaccinators must not use government resources, including vehicles and soldiers, and they should use their own resources so that they impartially execute their program," Mujahid said. He added the Taliban have always backed vaccinations. The statement to CNN came the same day that the presidential palace appealed to the Taliban to let the vital program take place unhindered. "Despite all the past efforts to vaccinate millions against polio, there are still children suffering from the disease on both sides of the Durand Line," Karzai said. The Durand Line is the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The statement from the palace added: "The president appeals to religious scholars, mullahs and community leaders and elders to cooperate with the immunization teams by persuading the opposition to allow vaccinators to administer polio drops to children against the permanent paralysis." According to World Health Organization, there are four countries in which the transmission of polio has never been stopped: Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan. They face a range of challenges, such as insecurity, weak health systems and poor sanitation. Polio could spread from these "endemic" countries to infect children in other countries with less-than-adequate vaccination, the organization says. Reports from the Afghan Ministry of Public Health show a threefold rise in the number of polio cases in 2011 compared with that of 2010. A ministry report that covered 2011 showed 80 cases in Afghanistan, 62 of which were in the south of the country, the government statement said.

Ferguson, Missouri (CNN) -- Two months. It looks like it might be that long before a local grand jury decides whether to bring charges in the death of Michael Brown -- the loud, passionate calls for swift justice notwithstanding. The shooting of the African-American teenager by a white Ferguson, Missouri, police officer has sparked days of demonstrations and nights of often violence protests in the St. Louis suburb. St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch told CNN affiliate KMOV that his office planned to begin presenting the case to a grand jury Wednesday. The grand jury could levy significant charges against Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed the 18-year-old Brown. But McCulloch suggested Wednesday that any action -- charges or no charges -- won't come any time soon. "The aspirational time is by mid-October to have everything completed," the prosecutor told the station. Granted, McCulloch isn't the only law enforcement leader whose office could take action against Wilson. One other such leader -- U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder -- spent Wednesday in and around Ferguson, Missouri, talking with residents, leaders and the man charged with maintaining security in the city after nearly two weeks of unrest. The most high-profile figure in President Barack Obama's administration to visit Ferguson, Holder has stressed that the federal government is on the case and listening -- both to protesters calling for Wilson's arrest and for an end to what they describe as a heavy-handed police response, and to residents and law enforcement officers challenged with looting and violence from some in the crowd. Holder joined dozens of FBI agents who have swarmed on the eastern Missouri city, as the U.S. Justice Department's civil rights division probes the case. But for charges and a conviction in a federal civil rights case, authorities would have to prove "racial hostility," according to CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, should they argue that Wilson somehow targeted Brown. Holder himself acknowledged this distinction Wednesday, saying that he hoped all of the investigative work being done has a positive impact. That said -- for all the symbolic significance of a sitting attorney general visiting the site of an active investigation -- what happens in the St. Louis County courts may more likely impact activists' bottom line: justice for Brown's family in the form of Wilson's arrest. On the local level, Missouri's governor could appoint a special prosecutor to the case in place of McCulloch. Antonio French, a St. Louis alderman who has been a protest fixture, thinks installing a special prosecutor would be smart given the African-American community's distrust of the county prosecutor and law enforcement in general. Perception equates to reality if it means that citizens don't trust McCulloch, French said. "We're trying to restore faith in the justice system," said French, who claimed McCulloch's "relationship with the African-American community has not been good for a long time." For his part, McCulloch told KMOV that he wants the case to proceed through the grand jury "expeditiously" but also "thoroughly." "We're not going to rush it through, and we're not going to leave anything out," he said. "They will have absolutely everything that there is, every piece of paper, every photograph, every bit of physical evidence, all the forensic information." Assuming McCulloch stays in charge and his grand jury timeline holds, French said that having weeks and weeks go by will only aggravate the situation. "I think the people expect to see something by now," he said. "And they're getting frustrated." 5 things to know about Michael Brown's shooting . Wilson backers challenged, then whisked away . While not as large in number as previous days, protesters were out again Wednesday night. One thing different this time around: a man and a woman who held up a sign that read, "Justice for Police Officer Wilson." Dawn, a restaurant employee who asked not to be identified by her full name because she believed that Wilson's supporters could be endangered, said, "We just feel like we have a First Amendment right like everyone else. If they're calling for justice, we need justice for everyone." The man alongside her, Chuck, added: "All our friends think we're crazy, but someone has to take a stand." The pair quickly drew dozens of Brown family supporters, who converged and yelled at them. Yet the commotion ended quickly when the two Wilson supporters were whisked away. On Tuesday night, hours of relative calm were upended when someone threw a bottle at police. Officers -- lined up in front of businesses, wearing helms and shields -- responded by sprinting after young men. This prompted a handful of protesters to toss more bottles, glass and plastic. Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who is in charge of security, later told reporters someone threw urine on police. Complete coverage of Ferguson shooting and protests . After the chase, the number of riot police ballooned. Officers brought out dogs. One officer used pepper spray on some in the crowd. Protesters locked hands in front of a police line, and some urged the crowd to remain peaceful. Others, wearing T-shirts printed with the word "peacekeeper," tried to defuse tensions. Johnson credited them for preventing further escalation. Police arrested 47 people, Johnson said, including a car full of people who he said were armed and threatened to shoot an officer. At least one officer also threatened a protester: The St. Louis County Police Department said an officer from nearby St. Ann was suspended indefinitely after pointing an assault rifle at a "peaceful" protester. Video showed the St. Ann officer cursing and threatening to kill a protester. Russel Honore, a retired Army general who handled crowd control in the chaos that ensued after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005, was among those critics of the law enforcement response. Looking at crowd members through the scope of a gun sends the wrong message, he said. "You're there to protect people," Honore added. "They need to sense that from you." Holder: 'We need concrete action to change things' In his public comments, Holder has urged law enforcement to show restraint and respect people's right to protest, while he has condemned looting and violence by protesters. On Wednesday, he made it personal as well. In addition to meeting with Michael Brown's parents, Holder talked at nearby Florissant Valley Community College about his own experiences as a black man with racial profiling -- including once when police flagged him down for no apparent reason in Washington, when he was a federal prosecutor. "We are starting here a good dialogue, but the reality is the dialogue is not enough," he said. "We need concrete action to changes things in this country." After these remarks, 27-year-old student Molyric Welch -- who said her brother died of cardiac arrest, allegedly after Ferguson police used a stun gun on him in 2011 -- credited Holder with giving her and others needed "inspiration" at a time when her city's future "is blurry."

It looks like it might be that long before a local grand jury decides whether to bring charges in the death of Michael Brown -- the loud, passionate calls for swift justice notwithstanding. The shooting of the African-American teenager by a white Ferguson, Missouri, police officer has sparked days of demonstrations and nights of often violence protests in the St. Louis suburb. St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Robert McCulloch told CNN affiliate KMOV that his office planned to begin presenting the case to a grand jury Wednesday. The grand jury could levy significant charges against Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed the 18-year-old Brown. But McCulloch suggested Wednesday that any action -- charges or no charges -- won't come any time soon. "The aspirational time is by mid-October to have everything completed," the prosecutor told the station. Granted, McCulloch isn't the only law enforcement leader whose office could take action against Wilson. One other such leader -- U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder -- spent Wednesday in and around Ferguson, Missouri, talking with residents, leaders and the man charged with maintaining security in the city after nearly two weeks of unrest. The most high-profile figure in President Barack Obama's administration to visit Ferguson, Holder has stressed that the federal government is on the case and listening -- both to protesters calling for Wilson's arrest and for an end to what they describe as a heavy-handed police response, and to residents and law enforcement officers challenged with looting and violence from some in the crowd. Holder joined dozens of FBI agents who have swarmed on the eastern Missouri city, as the U.S. Justice Department's civil rights division probes the case. But for charges and a conviction in a federal civil rights case, authorities would have to prove "racial hostility," according to CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, should they argue that Wilson somehow targeted Brown. Holder himself acknowledged this distinction Wednesday, saying that he hoped all of the investigative work being done has a positive impact. That said -- for all the symbolic significance of a sitting attorney general visiting the site of an active investigation -- what happens in the St. Louis County courts may more likely impact activists' bottom line: justice for Brown's family in the form of Wilson's arrest. On the local level, Missouri's governor could appoint a special prosecutor to the case in place of McCulloch. Antonio French, a St. Louis alderman who has been a protest fixture, thinks installing a special prosecutor would be smart given the African-American community's distrust of the county prosecutor and law enforcement in general. Perception equates to reality if it means that citizens don't trust McCulloch, French said. "We're trying to restore faith in the justice system," said French, who claimed McCulloch's "relationship with the African-American community has not been good for a long time." For his part, McCulloch told KMOV that he wants the case to proceed through the grand jury "expeditiously" but also "thoroughly." "We're not going to rush it through, and we're not going to leave anything out," he said. "They will have absolutely everything that there is, every piece of paper, every photograph, every bit of physical evidence, all the forensic information." Assuming McCulloch stays in charge and his grand jury timeline holds, French said that having weeks and weeks go by will only aggravate the situation. "I think the people expect to see something by now," he said. "And they're getting frustrated." 5 things to know about Michael Brown's shooting . Wilson backers challenged, then whisked away . While not as large in number as previous days, protesters were out again Wednesday night. One thing different this time around: a man and a woman who held up a sign that read, "Justice for Police Officer Wilson." Dawn, a restaurant employee who asked not to be identified by her full name because she believed that Wilson's supporters could be endangered, said, "We just feel like we have a First Amendment right like everyone else. If they're calling for justice, we need justice for everyone." The man alongside her, Chuck, added: "All our friends think we're crazy, but someone has to take a stand." The pair quickly drew dozens of Brown family supporters, who converged and yelled at them. Yet the commotion ended quickly when the two Wilson supporters were whisked away. On Tuesday night, hours of relative calm were upended when someone threw a bottle at police. Officers -- lined up in front of businesses, wearing helms and shields -- responded by sprinting after young men. This prompted a handful of protesters to toss more bottles, glass and plastic. Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who is in charge of security, later told reporters someone threw urine on police. Complete coverage of Ferguson shooting and protests . After the chase, the number of riot police ballooned. Officers brought out dogs. One officer used pepper spray on some in the crowd. Protesters locked hands in front of a police line, and some urged the crowd to remain peaceful. Others, wearing T-shirts printed with the word "peacekeeper," tried to defuse tensions. Johnson credited them for preventing further escalation. Police arrested 47 people, Johnson said, including a car full of people who he said were armed and threatened to shoot an officer. At least one officer also threatened a protester: The St. Louis County Police Department said an officer from nearby St. Ann was suspended indefinitely after pointing an assault rifle at a "peaceful" protester. Video showed the St. Ann officer cursing and threatening to kill a protester. Russel Honore, a retired Army general who handled crowd control in the chaos that ensued after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005, was among those critics of the law enforcement response. Looking at crowd members through the scope of a gun sends the wrong message, he said. "You're there to protect people," Honore added. "They need to sense that from you." Holder: 'We need concrete action to change things' In his public comments, Holder has urged law enforcement to show restraint and respect people's right to protest, while he has condemned looting and violence by protesters. On Wednesday, he made it personal as well. In addition to meeting with Michael Brown's parents, Holder talked at nearby Florissant Valley Community College about his own experiences as a black man with racial profiling -- including once when police flagged him down for no apparent reason in Washington, when he was a federal prosecutor. "We are starting here a good dialogue, but the reality is the dialogue is not enough," he said. "We need concrete action to changes things in this country." After these remarks, 27-year-old student Molyric Welch -- who said her brother died of cardiac arrest, allegedly after Ferguson police used a stun gun on him in 2011 -- credited Holder with giving her and others needed "inspiration" at a time when her city's future "is blurry."
