Britain’s two most powerful civil servants were today accused of having ‘prostituted your high office’ after writing an article about Margaret Thatcher. Labour MP Paul Flynn launched a lengthy attack against Sir Jeremy Heywood  and Sir Bob Kerslake, before storming out of a Commons committee. The mandarins had praised the Iron Lady as a ‘kind and considerate boss’ who would make shepherd’s pie for staff when working late in Downing Street. Scroll down for video . Head of the Civil Service Sir Bob Kerslake (left) and Cabinet Secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood wrote the article on Margaret Thatcher despite having never worked with her . Labour MP Paul Flynn said the positive article about Lady Thatcher's relationship with civil servants breached impartiality rules . Sir Jeremy, the Cabinet Secretary, and Sir Bob, the head of the civil service, were forced to deny being pressured into writing the piece by Tory strategists as they were accused of breaching rules on impartiality for Whitehall staff. The two men were giving evidence to the Public Administration Select Committee. Civil servants are supposed to remain impartial because they have to work with all political parties if they win a general elections. Mr Flynn, Labour MP for Newport West, began the session with a 10 minute attack on the article. He said: ‘The main controversy going on in the country may have passed you by is on the verdict on Margaret Thatcher’s period in government, this is something which divides this country, it’s the hottest political issue of the moment. Margaret Thatcher, pictured in Number 10 in 1987, used to make shepherd's pie for staff if working late . ‘You penned an article that was . entirely sycophantic, no kind of criticism whatsoever. This is not what . civil servants traditionally should do.’ Sir Jeremy refused to apologise for . the article, insisting it was ‘about the civil service relationship with . Margaret Thatcher as a person, as a human being’. Sir Bob added: ‘The article is not intended to be a comment on her policies, critical or otherwise.’ Labour’s Kelvin Hopkins also . criticised the article while committee chairman Bernard Jenkin, a Tory . MP, questioned whether they ‘really think this was wise to enter this . controversy?’ Despite attempts to move on, Mr Flynn . returned to the issue. He told the pair: ‘I’m going to leave the . meeting, not entirely for this reason but I think there is no point in . continuing unless we can press this issue to a conclusion. ‘I believe what’s happened is breach of all the traditions of the civil servants. I believe you have prostituted your high office and deserted your political neutrality. ‘I believe you have both displayed disgracefully,’ he added, before walking out. The article, written for the Daily Telegraph, triggered a political storm in Whitehall after it hailed the ‘indelible impression’ Lady Thatcher  left on the Civil Service. She left the ‘landscape transformed and the Civil Service modernised’, they said. The Whitehall mandarins refused to apologise for the article, insisting they were not asked to write it by anyone in the Tory party . It went on: ‘Alongside radical tax reforms, the abandonment of exchange controls and prices and incomes policies, the introduction of Right to Buy, a major overhaul of industrial relations law and the world's first privatisation programme, Margaret Thatcher also led a significant programme of Civil Service reform. ‘Her infamous working hours allowed the prime minister to consume vast quantities of briefings and from her No 10 flat she would nourish her civil servants with home–cooked shepherd's pie whenever they were working late. ‘To the country she was an Iron Lady, to those who worked with her she was a kind and considerate boss.’

By . Jo Knowsley . and Sharon Churcher . Controversial: Experts have warned thousands of women to stop using the NuvaRing, pictured . A British woman has been stricken with potentially deadly blood clots after being put on a controversial new contraceptive that allegedly killed a 24-year-old US law student last year. Thousands of UK patients are being warned to stop using NuvaRing by experts who have told The Mail on Sunday it puts women at a far higher risk of heart attacks and strokes than traditional forms of birth control. Marketed by pharmaceutical giant Merck, the device is available free on the NHS. In addition, this newspaper has learned that women whose doctors may have qualms about prescribing it can buy it on the internet after a cursory online medical ‘consultation’. The vaginal contraceptive ring  is impregnated with a cocktail of hormones, released for a month after it is inserted, making it seem an appealing alternative to the Pill. Some 9,000 British women have used it since its approval by UK regulators  in 2008. But a 44-year-old English mother-of-one has consulted lawyers about massive blood clots on her lungs which she claims developed after she was prescribed the device. Claire Tellis-Doherty, head of a medical negligence team compiling a database about the drug’s alleged dangers, said the woman – identified only as Lorraine –  was fit and healthy before being put on the ring. ‘In 2012 she began to feel constantly tired,’ Ms Tellis-Doherty said. ‘She visited her GP on three occasions but was told nothing was wrong. But by 2013, she couldn’t walk without being breathless. After she was admitted to hospital, it was discovered she had massive blood clots covering around 40 per cent of both her lungs.’ Lorraine survived the crisis but was allegedly left with low blood pressure that ‘potentially shortened’ life expectancy. Tragic: Erika Langhart, 24, died after suffering two heart attacks allegedly caused by using the Nuvaring contraceptive . The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has disclosed that it has received 23 reports of ‘spontaneous suspected adverse drug reactions’ relating to NuvaRing, some involving blood clots. In the US, where NuvaRing has been available since 2002, over 3,500 lawsuits have been filed claiming the device has caused serious health problems, culminating in the death last year of 24-year-old law student Erika Langhart, after two heart attacks allegedly caused by the ring. Dr Michael Carome, head of Washington-based Public Citizen Health Research Group, told this newspaper he believes statistics show the device should be banned. ‘As long as Nuva-Ring remains on the market, our advice to women is to avoid it,’ he said. NuvaRing is available free from UK GPs and at family planning and sexual health clinics. It is also sold on Internet sites including PharmaDoctor, which ‘approved’ a MoS reporter’s purchase after an online consultation, despite her saying she was obese – which significantly increases blood clot risks. Merck insists ‘the safety and efficacy of NuvaRing were originally established in clinical trials involving more than 3,700 women.’ But the company website adds: ‘The risk of getting blood clots may be greater with the type of progestin in NuvaRing than with some other progestins in certain low-dose birth control pills.’

By . Chris Brooke . PUBLISHED: . 10:51 EST, 18 December 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 02:59 EST, 19 December 2012 . A sanctuary that has cared for unwanted animals for 64 years may be forced into the heartbreaking decision to put down all its dogs – because of one complaint about barking. Twin sisters Pat Hartley and Jane Wright have been issued with a council noise abatement order which they say they cannot afford to comply with. It means they must find homes for their 17 dogs or have them destroyed. They fear they may even be forced to close Mill House Animal Sanctuary, which is also home to 10 cows, 10 ponies, seven pigs, five sheep, five llamas and three goats. Tragic: Jane Wright of Mill House Animal Sanctuary admits 17 dogs like Polly face being put down because a council said their barks are too loud . The 70-year-old sisters say the complaint from a neighbour about the barking is the only brush with authority they have had since they started the sanctuary in 1948. Despite this, their local council issued the noise abatement order and told them to put up a soundproof perimeter fence. Unfortunately, their registered charity cannot afford to fight the order in court and doesn’t have the funds to pay for fencing. The sanctuary, in Fulwood, Sheffield, costs £3,000 a week to run and, although they receive donations, the sisters and their husbands prop it up with their own cash. Mrs Hartley,  whose husband Robert, 64, works as a driver, said: ‘We have a no-destruction policy. If we can’t rehome our animals, they stay with us until they die of old age. We have never turned any away. ‘But as things stand, we may have to put the dogs down and we could be forced to close for good. ‘We do not have enough funds to pay for a lengthy legal fight and in any case we feel the money is better spent caring for the animals.’ Mrs Hartley denied the dogs barked ‘all day, every day’ and insisted the sisters try to keep noise to a minimum. ‘We are in a quiet spot on a country lane, it’s not as if we are in a built-up area,’ she said. ‘The dogs do bark from time to time, all dogs bark.’ Attack: Patch may have to be destroyed before Christmas all because a single member of the public complained . Shame: The sanctuary cannot afford to fight the noise abatement notice brought against them, which makes the future bleak for animals like Alfie and 16 others . Home: The sanctuary has cared for thousands of animals like Sandy, pictured, since 1948 . Mrs Wright and her mechanic husband . Francis, 55, live in Mill House and say some of the dogs have recently . been moved from heated kennels to the house to reduce the noise to . neighbours. 'We have been here for 64 years and have cared for thousands of animals in that time – no one has ever complained before,’ Mrs Wright said. ‘We do our very best to ensure the noise is kept down. However, I have to concede that the dogs do bark from time to time. But it’s not like that all day every day as the person who has complained is claiming.’ The sisters say that, with Christmas approaching, they expect to have more unwanted pets to look after in the coming weeks. Home: The sanctuary has been asked to put up sound proof fencing - but they just can't afford it . Sad: The home, which has taken animals from all over Britain, has a no destruction policy but may have to shut leaving them with no other option . ‘We can’t turn them away. Putting up a fence is not a priority,’ said Mrs Hartley. The sisters lived in Mill House with their parents as children and were brought up with pet dogs and cats. In 1948, the family saved a young pony called Dolly because a neighbour was sending her to be slaughtered. She lived for another 25 years. The girls were only six when they took on Dolly and soon other unwanted ponies arrived and the sanctuary developed. Both sisters later had clerical jobs and used their money to run the sanctuary, which became a charity in 1982. Over the years they have taken in animals from all over the country, from the South Coast to the Orkneys. Heartbreak: Polly (left) and Poppy (right) and 15 other dogs face being put down thanks to the sole complaint . Cuddle: Rescued dogs Rocky (left) and Polly are cared for alongside a whole host of other saved animals . Desperate: Jane Wright holds Poppy and is keen to solve a problem that could lead to innocent deaths . Serious: Ossie, Patch and Polly are unaware that there lives could be short thanks to an order brought by one complaint . Mrs Hartley said: ‘We just love animals, we always have, and so did our parents. ‘When word got around that we had taken in a couple of ponies people starting contacting us about neglected animals and some were left at our gate. 'Over the years the animals took over our lives. ‘We don’t have the money to fight this case and we do fear the dogs will have to be put to sleep unless something can be done.’ A Sheffield council spokesman said: ‘A noise abatement order has been issued against the animal sanctuary. The owners initially appealed and then withdrew their appeal. ‘We are now working with the owners to help them comply with the order.’ Anyone wanting to offer a home to any of the sanctuary’s animals should call 07980 992589.
Mill House Animal Sanctuary faces closure after council court order . Owners of the charity admit they can't afford to fight noise notice . 'As it stands we will be forced to have to put the dogs down and we could even close for good,' owner Jane Wright said . Sheffield City Council want them to install sound-proof fencing .

Sad:
(CNN) -- Rick Santorum awoke to a new reality Wednesday after sweeping all three Republican presidential contests a day earlier, reshaping the contest that will decide who runs against President Barack Obama in November. Santorum won caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado, as well as a nonbinding primary in Missouri to energize his campaign and raise questions about front-runner Mitt Romney's ability to attract broad conservative support. The victories by Santorum bolstered his contention that he is the strongest conservative challenger to the more moderate Romney for the GOP nomination, and the most formidable conservative candidate to take on Obama. "I don't stand here and claim to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney," Santorum declared to cheering supporters outside St. Louis. "I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama." Colorado was the most competitive state of the day, with Santorum winning 40% of the vote to 35% for Romney, 13% for former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and 12% for Texas Rep. Ron Paul. After a night of returns trickling in and the lead shifting between Santorum and Romney, Colorado Republican Party chairman Ryan Call announced live on CNN that Santorum was the winner. In Minnesota, Santorum got 45% of the vote to 27% for Paul, 17% for Romney and 11% for Gingrich, with 88% of the total counted, according to the secretary of state. The victory in a state Romney won in his unsuccessful 2008 presidential bid was a strong statement by Santorum that he represents a major conservative challenge to both Romney and Gingrich. However, a low turnout in all three races signaled possible dissatisfaction among Republican voters with the candidates. All the 70 delegates available Tuesday came from the Minnesota and Colorado caucuses, while the Missouri primary was nonbinding with no delegates at stake. The two caucus states didn't officially award delegates Tuesday night -- that will happen down the road at district and state conventions -- but the news media, including CNN, will use them to make unofficial delegate count estimates. With 100% of the Missouri vote counted, Santorum had 55% to 25% for Romney and 12% for Paul, according to unofficial results. Gingrich didn't make the ballot in Missouri. Such a dominating victory by the conservative Santorum showed his appeal to Missouri's large blocs of evangelical and tea party supporters. "Conservatism is alive and well in Missouri and Minnesota," Santorum declared before the Colorado count had been completed. While Tuesday was a stunningly successful night for Santorum, it was a terrible night for Romney and Gingrich, who has been competing with Santorum for the support of conservatives against the more moderate Romney. Gingrich spent little time or money in the three states, instead focusing his now limping campaign on the Super Tuesday contests of March 6 that will be worth more than 400 delegates from 10 states. Romney, however, campaigned hard in Colorado and to a lesser degree Minnesota, and the stinging losses cost him any momentum from his two straight victories in Florida and Nevada prior to Tuesday. A senior adviser to Romney signaled the campaign would take a tougher approach toward his resurgent rival and portray him as a Washington insider. "Look, I just don't think it's a time when people are looking to Washington to solve problems with Washington," senior Romney adviser Stuart Stevens said of Santorum, a former U.S. senator. Stevens downplayed Tuesday's results, saying: "We'd like to win everywhere, but you can't. And we've focused on key states for how we see a path to the nomination." In Denver, Romney congratulated Santorum for his good night before the Colorado result was known. Rather than continuing criticism of Santorum, Romney sounded conciliatory in saying Republicans would unite behind the eventual nominee and that he expected to be that candidate. Perhaps in response to Santorum's success, Romney struck a populist note by telling the crowd how his father never graduated college but went on to head a business and become governor of Michigan. "For my dad, this was the land of opportunity," Romney said, later adding: "I refuse to believe America is just another place on earth with a map. We stand for freedom and hope and opportunity." To Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee chair from Florida, Tuesday's results showed an underlying weakness in Romney's candidacy. "What should have been a night where he began to consolidate Republican support instead has shown that Republicans are reluctant to get behind him," Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. "Republicans are giving the field of candidates another look, demonstrating that the more people get to know Mitt Romney, the less they like him. They know he'll say anything to get elected, and they don't want a candidate they can't trust." She also cited "the lack of enthusiasm and low turnout we're seeing in these contests," adding that "no candidate embodies that dissatisfaction more than Mitt Romney." In Missouri, a state official told CNN that the turnout would be "significantly lower than predicted." The secretary of state's office had estimated turnout would be 23%. Romney's campaign appeared to consider Colorado its best chance of victory Tuesday. He canceled stops in Minnesota scheduled for Monday to concentrate on Colorado, where he spent caucus night. Romney, who won big in the state's 2008 caucuses, has been working Colorado since last summer and arguably has the strongest structure in the state. Santorum needed victories or an overall strong showing to prove the viability of his campaign. "I think we need to win in the sense that we need to perform very well," he told CNN's John King earlier Tuesday. Paul, meanwhile, predicted his focus on the caucus states would yield results. He spent the past week stumping in Colorado and Minnesota, and spent Tuesday night in Minnesota. "We're gonna win some delegates. Whether we come in one or two or three, I don't know exactly that," Paul said on CNN's "John King USA." "But we feel positive about moving along and picking up more delegates. We'll have to wait and see." Paul stressed his strength in the upcoming Maine caucuses on Saturday. "Nobody else is about to at this point jump ahead of Romney," Paul said. "But we think we're going to keep doing. We have a very good chance on what's happening up in Maine." Gingrich had gotten a late start in Colorado and Minnesota, and failed to get on the ballot in Missouri. The former speaker is looking ahead to Super Tuesday in what he hopes will be friendlier territory in his native Georgia and other conservative states. As part of that strategy, Gingrich spent Tuesday night in Ohio, one of the Super Tuesday states. In an interview with KOA Radio in Denver, Colorado, Gingrich said Romney's multimillion-dollar attack campaign against him has paved the way for Santorum to do well on Tuesday. "The guy who hasn't been attacked has gained some ground and has done a good job, worked very hard and so my prediction is when tonight's over between Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri, the whole race will be muddled and Romney's role as the frontrunner will be deeply discounted as compared to where it was a week ago," said Gingrich, speaking from Ohio. After weeks of bitter campaigning in Florida and Nevada, the candidates have focused on Obama in recent days. Romney, Gingrich and Santorum criticized the president over the administration's new rules requiring all hospitals -- including those run by the Catholic church -- to provide workers health insurance that covers contraception, including sterilization, which the church opposes. Obama's re-election campaign has pushed back on Romney's criticism, pointing to his refusal when governor of Massachusetts to exempt Catholic hospitals from providing emergency contraception to rape victims. "Mitt Romney continues to show that he will do or say anything to get elected," Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said. "He is even attacking the president for providing women with the same access to contraception and preventive health care services that he did as governor of Massachusetts. And now, in an effort to pander to the most conservative parts of the Republican base, he has embraced the extreme personhood amendment, which would ban many forms of birth control, including birth control pills. "This sends a clear message to women across America," Smith added. "Mitt Romney can't be trusted and his hypocrisy knows no bounds." Gingrich also pounced on Romney's stance Tuesday, telling an Ohio crowd: "The fact is Governor Romney insisted that Catholic hospitals give out abortion pills against their religious belief when he was governor. So you have a very similar pattern again. Over and over you get the same pattern. And I think a Massachusetts moderate finds it very hard to draw a sharp contrast with someone who is an Illinois radical." Whether Paul, Gingrich, or Santorum will have the financial resources to compete with Romney over the long haul remains an open question. Obama's campaign, however, remains well-financed. In a major development for the general election, the president's re-election team encouraged donors Monday night to start raising money for a Democratic super PAC -- a reversal of his previous stance on the issue. Obama has been an outspoken critic of current campaign financing laws, most notably the 2010 Supreme Court ruling that allowed the creation of super PACs. Until now he has kept his distance from the Democratic group, Priorities USA Action, which has lagged behind its Republican counterparts in fundraising. "The president's views ... haven't changed," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday. "He strongly opposed" the Supreme Court ruling in 2010 and "holds those views today." But "the rules are what they are," Carney added. The president's campaign "cannot compete effectively if there are two sets of rules," and the Democrats "cannot unilaterally disarm."

Marketing experts have found people who write negative reviews on websites are often a retailer's most valuable and loyal customers . People who write negative reviews on websites are often a retailer's most valuable and loyal customers, American research suggests. Retail specialists at MIT and Northwestern University found the harshest of critics may not have brought the product they were complaining about, but had strong feelings about a service or brand. The study, which is the first to take an in-depth look at the behaviour of customers who write negative reviews online, has disproved popular theories that peeved competitors or oddball customers make the harshest critics. Professor Eric Anderson of Northwestern University and Professor Duncan Simester of MIT, examined over 325,000 online reviews written by customers of a large clothing company and examined more than 7,219 book reviews on Amazon.com to produce their study, ABC News reported. They used data collected by the websites that made it possible to match reviews to purchases made. The experts concluded that a firm's most loyal customers are also their most negative reviewers, or to quote a French maxim, 'your best friends are also your harshest critics.' Professor Anderson said that no-one had previously looked at the behaviour of individual reviewers before and when they told the clothing company they were receiving negative reviews from their best customers, they were shocked. They also revealed that the harshest critics had not bought the product they were complaining about and around five per cent of product reviews were written by people who had not bought the item they disliked so much. The researchers found that these reviews . were also on average much more negative than the 95 per cent of genuine . reviews by customers who had purchased a product. After much hypothesising, the marketing . experts concluded that reviewers were acting like 'self-appointed brand . managers' who like the company and continue buying from it despite . penning a venomous review. Retail specialists at MIT and Northwestern University found the harshest of critics had often not brought the product they were complaining about but had strong feelings about a service or brand and were trying something new . They found that critics were often complaining about a new product that is slightly different from a company's core offering and want to tell a company if they suspect it is making a bad decision. Professor Simester believes that customers feel the need to lie about buying a product to review it as they are looking for credibility. He told ABC News that many people underestimate the importance of their reviews, which can have a harmful effect on a company's sales. He thinks the findings of the research might prompt companies to insist that reviewers have bought a specific product first before giving their opinion on it.
U.S. study is first to assess behaviour of customers who write bad reviews . The harshest critics may not have bought the product they were complaining about, but had strong feelings about a service or brand .

By . Neil Sears . Despair: Townshend said he considered suicide in his revealing new autobiography . He insisted at the time that he had simply been conducting ‘research’ when he paid £7 with his credit card in 1999 to access a website bearing the message ‘click here for child porn’. Despite his denials of harbouring depraved desires, he accepted a police caution, and was duly placed on the sex offenders’ register for five years. His image has never fully recovered, although he did play at the Olympics closing ceremony this summer, along with The Who’s only other surviving original band member, lead singer Roger Daltrey. He has now broken his silence on the issue, as he promotes his new autobiography, Who I Am. Speaking to The Times, Townshend said that he had struggled to express himself in the book because his actions seemed ‘insane’, even to him. He said that when the police raided his home in 2003 after combing through the records of a US company hosting child porn sites, his main concern was just that they would  read his diaries, featuring dilemmas about which yacht or flash car to splash out on, and think he was ‘a self-obsessed prat’. Instead, he found himself condemned as a paedophile around the world. Embroiled: Mr Townshend was one of 3,744 people arrested in the UK as part of Operation Ore, a nationwide police crackdown on internet perverts, but was later cautioned for the incident . Who they were: One of British pop's finest back in 1964, from left to right: . Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend, Keith Moon and John Entwistle . Still rocking: The Who performed a string of their hits at the London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony in August. Mr Townshend's memoir is out next week . Speaking out: The Who's Pete Townshend has admitted he was 'insane' to pay to access a child porn site 'purely to see what was there' in 2003 . Asked why he chose not to go to court to . declare his innocence, he said he was simply ‘exhausted’ at the time . and had been given just half an hour by officers at Kingston police . station to decide whether to accept the caution. He said he and his lawyers were ‘surprised’ by the police’s decision because they had all believed he would be let off. He added that he thought prosecution lawyers would ‘****ing rip me apart’ if he went to court. In his autobiography, he describes how the media storm about the scandal began, saying: ‘If I’d had a gun I would have shot myself, just to escape the lynching.’ Asked how seriously he considered suicide, Towns-hend said it was ‘only for a  moment’ but added that he had despaired because he was not given any sense that the truth behind his actions would come out. He added that he had since been plagued by fears that the publicity could lead to baseless further accusations. Townshend explained: ‘Imagine three or four girls coming along and saying, “I had sex with Pete in the Sixties, when he was 25 and I was 12”. I know it didn’t happen, but when you’re a pop star people say all kinds of things. ‘I get lots of pictures of children with big noses who claim I’m their dad.’ Keith Richards famously claimed it was 'tiny' in his memoir Life. Now Mick Jagger may be relieved to hear that Pete Townshend has added quite a different description of the Rolling Stone's manhood in new memoir Who I Am. According to The Times, Townshend describes Jagger as 'very well-endowed' after clocking him in loose pyjama-style trousers without any underwear in 1969. Speaking about the revelation, Townshend said: 'I did do that very deliberately. Let’s hope it gets the same amount of publicity second time round. The songwriter said that he had been . seeking to help victims of sexual abuse since 1976, which is when he set . up the Double-O charity. In . his autobiography, Towns-hend details how when he was six, his musician . parents sent him from their London home to live with his mentally ill . grandmother Denny in Westgate On Sea, Kent.

Rare gene mutations that increase the risk of a premature heart attack in middle age have been discovered by scientists. Men under 50 and women under 60 are twice as likely to have a heart attack if they have a faulty gene called APOA5. It causes levels of cholesterol and blood fats called triglycerides, which can cause clots, to rise. Men under 50 and women under 60 are twice as likely to have a heart attack (illustrated with a stock image) if they have a faulty gene called APOA5. It causes levels of cholesterol and blood fats called triglycerides, which can cause clots, to rise . Heart attacks are responsible for millions of deaths around the world and are triggered by both genetic and environmental factors, such as unhealthy lifestyles. Scientists from the Broad Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital and other institutions analysed the genomes of 10,000 people, half of whom suffered a heart attack early in life. Those that had the heart attacks were found to have mutations in the LDL receptor gene, confirming what has been known for decades – that high levels of LDL, or ‘bad cholesterol,' raises the risk of heart attack. The key finding, however, was that people carrying mutations in the APOA5 (apolipoprotein A-V) gene, have higher levels of blood triglycerides – or blood lipids - and a roughly two-fold increased risk of a heart attack. While the gene has been previously implicated in the condition, it has only now been confirmed using large-scale DNA sequencing to ‘definitively’ make the connection between APOA5 and heart attack risk. Scientists from the Broad Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital and other institutions analysed the genomes of 10,000 people, half of whom suffered a heart attack early in life. A stock image of a DNA sequence is pictured . ‘We simply wouldn't have made this critical connection without our careful and disciplined approach to whole exome sequencing [sequencing of the protein-coding portion of the genome] and subsequent data analysis,’ said Stacey Gabriel, a co-author of the Nature study and director of the Broad Institute's Genomics Platform. Researchers hope the findings could lead to new drugs to help reduce the number of heart attacks in middle age. Dr Sekar Kathiresan, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said: ‘Our APOA5 result tells us beyond LDL levels - which are well known to contribute to heart attack risk - abnormalities in triglyceride metabolism also play an important role. ‘This gives us an important window into the biology of the disease and also suggests potential new avenues for therapeutic development.’ The study follows other recent genetic discoveries including the identification of protective mutations in the APOC3 gene, that lower ‘bad fat’ levels and the risk of heart attack. There are some striking parallels between this new study and similar work conducted over 40 years ago, which was led by Nobel Prize winner Professor Joseph Goldstein. His study examined several hundred people from Seattle who had suffered a heart attack before the age of 60. Looking at the levels of fats in the blood, his researchers identified high cholesterol levels as the major link. The study has bolstered previous studies that found that LDL - the major carrier of cholesterol in the bloodstream - causes atherosclerosis (illustrated using computer artwork), where fats accumulate in blood vessels and lead to a heart attack . That work spurred decades of research trying to unravel the role of LDL - the major carrier of cholesterol in the bloodstream - in causing atherosclerosis, where fats accumulate in blood vessels and lead to a heart attack. Interestingly the second most common abnormality observed by Professor Goldstein and his colleagues was elevated blood triglycerides, but he was unable to explain this comprehensively at the time. Dr Kathiresan and his colleagues also found harmful LDL receptor mutations are roughly twice as common than had been estimated in the Goldstein study. He said: ‘In 1973 Goldstein’s work taught us what types of lipids in the blood are most important for early heart attack risk. Now after sequencing all of the genes in the genome we can directly point to the specific genes that are most important. There is remarkable consistency between the observations from 40 years ago and today.’ Only about five per cent of people who suffer a heart attack do so at a relatively young age. But tragically the first sign of illness in this minority is often a devastating heart attack inflicting significant damage to the heart and resulting in severe disability or even death. There are 230,000 heart attacks in the UK every year - with about one-in-ten proving fatal.
Scientists from the Broad Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital have pinpointed rare mutations in a gene called APOA5 . Mutations increase a person's risk of having a heart attack early in life . They disable the gene, while raising the levels of a type of fat in the blood . While only five per cent of people who suffer a heart attack do so before 50, the first sign of illness is often the devastating attack itself .

Mia Love has made history in Utah after becoming the first black Republican woman to be elected to United States Congress. The former Mayor of Saratoga Springs defeated her Democratic opponent Doug Owens in the race to represent Utah's 4th congressional district late last night. During her victory speech, Love said 'there is great cause for confidence' as she runs with Utahns towards the 'challenges of our time'. Mia Love has made history in Utah after becoming the first black Republican woman to be elected to Congress . Owens tweeted at 11:25 p.m. that he had called Love to concede the race. His campaign manager told Fox 13 News that Love won the race by a margin of 50 per cent to 46 per cent. 'Thank you for the trust you have placed in me,' Love said in a statement. 'I will work every day to be deserving of it. 'Regardless of who you voted for today, I hope you know that I am going to Washington to represent everyone in the district and invite you to engage with me in finding real solutions to the challenges we face as a country.' The Republican also pledged to 'work every day to keep the federal government out of your lives, out of your pockets, and out of your way so you can run toward your own American Dream'. Love pledged to Utahns that she would 'work every day to keep the federal government out of your lives' Democrat Doug Owens said he felt 'at peace' with the result and was proud of his staff's efforts, but added that he felt in the end low voter turn out might have made the difference . She said: 'Many people have reminded me that tonight is not the end of the race; it is just the end of the beginning,' 'As your representative, I am not going to ask you to trust Washington - I am going to convince Washington to trust you. Love defeated Democrat Doug Owens in the race to represent Utah's 4th congressional district . 'As Utahns, we know best how to spend our hard earned money, raise our families, educate our children, keep the promises made to our seniors, and help those in need.' Love, a Haitian-American, failed in her first attempt to win a congressional seat in 2012, losing to a Democratic incumbent by just 768 votes out of more than 245 cast. Owens told KUER that he felt 'at peace' with the result and was proud of his staff's efforts, but added that he felt in the end low voter turn out might have made the difference. 'I had a good feeling going in and obviously I would rather the outcome have been different, but I feel at peace about it. I feel good about it. We'll be back. We're not done yet,' he said . Love was riding a wave of GOP victory that saw Republicans consolidate their power on Capitol Hill, picking up more seats than they needed to gain control of the US Senate. Their triumphs included key wins in Arkansas, West Virginia, Montana, South Dakota, Colorado, North Carolina and Iowa, all seats controlled by Democrats when the day began. 'The American people have put their trust in the Republican Party, sending a GOP majority to the U.S. Senate,' said Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus. 'Our party's principles and message resonated with voters across the country. This was a rejection of President Obama's failed polices and Harry Reid's dysfunctional Senate.' 'Republicans have been given the opportunity to lead the country in a better direction, and the Republican House and Senate are ready to listen to the American people. We hope President Obama will too.' Love said 'there is great cause for confidence' as she runs with Utahns towards the 'challenges of our time' Democrat candidate Doug Owens tweeted at 11:25 p.m. that he had called Love to concede the race . 'It's time to get to work on creating jobs, expanding American energy development, pursuing real healthcare reform, reducing spending, reining in the federal government, and keeping America safe.' Love told her supporters that she was proud to be a part of a surge of Republican support, KUER reported. 'This election is historic because it has raised Utah's voice and we have boldly told congress that the status quo will not work. Above all, this election is about remembering our history, reclaiming our freedom and reshaping our future,' she said. The Empire State Building tower lights reflect mid-term election results in New York City, showing considerably more GOP red than Democratic blue, as Republicans consolidated their power on Capitol Hill .

An Italian greyhound that had been missing for eight months has found his way back to his southwestern Illinois home after he turned up hundreds of miles away in Virginia. Five-year-old Dauz disappeared from the Dausman family's fenced Collinsville yard in July last year. To the surprise of his heartbroken owners David, Alicia, and their two children David Jr., 3, and the dog's 'best friend' six-year-old Lilian, the pet traveled more than 900 miles to end up last month at an animal shelter in Fairfax. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Found: Five-year-old Dauz, pictured center with Lilian, 6, left, and David Jr., right, has been found months after he disappeared from the Dausman family's fenced Collinsville yard in July last year . 'He's the same dog, but he won't let us out of his sight. As we will not, either,' said Alicia Dausman, 35. The mother suspects Dauz, a purebred, was stolen by a friend's family member who was temporarily living with them, and that person took him to Virginia, according to Suburban Journals of Greater St. Louis. He was given to a man, who gifted the dog to his wife on her birthday. The couple, who called him 'Bruno,' took care of the pet but after a time he managed to escape and found his way to the shelter. Ms Dausman said she tried everything she could think of to locate the dog, posting his picture on her Facebook page, submitting weekly Craigslist ads, and contacting shelters and Italian greyhound rescue groups. Map: The Italian greyhound that had been missing for eight months found his way back to his southwestern Illinois home after he turned up hundreds of miles away in Fairfax, Virginia . Dauz was finally reunited after the Virginia shelter scanned the digital identification chip implanted in the dog's neck and notified the family, according to KDSK.com. Ms Dausman said she couldn't believe her ears when the shelter called her, then the disbelief was replaced by elation that they would soon have their beloved pet back. 'I was so excited I had to pull over,' she told the news outlet. 'I got (Lilian) from school and she was walking down the hallway towards me. When I told her we found Dauz, she just stopped dead in her tracks.' She said the animal shelter insisted the dog was in good shape suggesting someone had been taking care of him. Journey: The pet, pictured, traveled more than 900 miles to end up last month at an animal shelter in Fairfax, Va. Stolen: David, Lilian, Alicia and David Jr, pictured left to right, believe the dog was stolen by a friend's family member who was temporarily living with them . 'But I just didn't get how he ended up 900 miles away,' she said. The family was distraught when Dauz went missing last summer. After diligently searching for him in the yard and the surrounding neighborhood, Ms Dausman called police. She said the loss of the pet hit hardest with Lilian who was just a year old when they bought the loving dog. 'She would just cry her eyes out,' the mother said of Lilian. 'She said, "Mom, I want my dog." And I had to say,"'Sorry, I don't know where he's at." I put his crate and toys downstairs. I couldn't even see a picture of him, I would cry. It hurt.' Best friends: The loss of the pet hit hardest with Lilian, pictured, who was just a year old when they bought the loving dog . Chip: Dauz, pictured, was finally reunited after the Virginia shelter scanned the digital identification chip implanted in the dog's neck and notified the family . Ms Dausman said she started to think finding Dauz wasn't going to happen, but Lilian always held out hope that he'd find his way home. 'Mom thought he was dead,' Lilian told the newspapers. 'I told her he was still alive.' Ms Dausman said the microchip company, HomeAgain, transported Dauz back to Collinsville.And while he's thinner, lighter in color and has a raspier bark than before, he's still the same loveable pet. 'If there is one lesson to be learned, it's get your pets microchipped,' she said. 'And never give up. Miracles do happen.'

By . Alex Greig . George Zimmerman says he is suffering from post-traumatic stress and is homeless after his trial for the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin in 2012. He made the claims to journalist Ilia Calderón, who interviewed him for the Spanish language current affairs show Aqui y Ahora which will air on Univision on Sunday at 7pm. During the interview, Zimmerman also claimed that Martin threatened to kill him before he shot and killed the unarmed 17-year-old. 'Sad. Very sad': How George Zimmerman described himself in the recent interview with Ilia Calderón . 'When he saw my handgun and looked at it and told me that he was going to kill me that night, uh, that was enough of a threat after the way he had attacked me. So, I felt his hand going for my weapon,' Zimmerman said, reports the Orlando Sentinal. When asked how he feels now, Zimmerman responded 'Sad. Very sad.' Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder in the controversial case in 2013. Insight: Zimmerman told Calderón that he receives death threats due to bad media coverage, not the fact that he shot Trayvon Martin . He told Calderón that after shooting Martin, his main concern was that he had missed his target. 'I was afraid it had gone through his clothes and that it was going to go... get lost, and, um, you know, go into a house and - because the young man was still talking to me, as I have said. So I thought that it hadn't... affected him, and I got worried, and I said, "I hope that it hasn't - that the bullet hasn't hit a neighbor,"' Zimmerman said. The much-maligned former insurance salesman who has recently taken to selling his unique art on eBay said he was '100 per cent' sure of his actions that night, and that had he not shot Martin, the teen would have killed him. International notoriety: Zimmerman's case became known around the world . Zimmerman said that he has had death threats since the trial, which he put down to his portrayal in the media and not his shooting of a teenaged boy. Zimmerman told Calderón that he can no longer lead a normal life and must wear a bullet-proof vest when he is out in public. Describing himself as 'totally homeless,' Zimmerman said his family helps him 'a lot.'

Former Premier League footballer Daniel Agger and his family were left ‘heartbroken’ after their pet dog was killed during a trip to a dog salon, his wife has revealed. Sofie Agger, wife of the ex-Liverpool star, posted a photograph of Charlie the dog on Instagram, saying that he ‘went to the groomer and never came home again’. Mrs Agger said workers at the salon, which has not been named, put him in ‘some dryer box’ last week and it was unclear whether the machine was faulty or the animal was simply forgotten about. Salon death: Sofie Agger, wife of footballer Daniel, posted this photograph of Charlie the dog on Instagram . The footballer’s wife, whom he married in 2010, said of Charlie on December 6: ‘We lost him today and our family are totally heartbroken. He went to the groomer and never came home again. ‘They put him in some dryer box and we still don’t know if they forgot him or the machine had a fault. Are such in shock and still can grasp that our dog had pain like that and then died [sic]. ‘Dearly hope anyone who has a machine like that stop using them. Know it’s a long shot but as I said we’re heartbroken. We will miss you Charlie.’ The interior designer, who studied at Liverpool John Moores University, said of the photograph she posted that the dog was pictured ‘at his best’, adding: ‘This is how we wanna remember him.’ Couple: Daniel Agger married his wife Sofie in 2010 (left). They are also pictured last year in Liverpool (right) Premier League footballer: Daniel Agger, 30, joined Liverpool in 2006 from Danish Superliga team Brondby . The couple - who have two children together, Jamie and Mason – married four years ago in the footballer's hometown of Hvidovre, Denmark, and their reception took place in Copenhagen. While he was still playing at Liverpool, the couple lived in a three-bedroom house worth £1.5million. The star, aged 30, joined Liverpool in 2006 from Danish Superliga team Brondby, making 232 appearances for the Merseyside club, before moving back to Brondby in August this year. Upon his return to Denmark, he said: 'I would like to thank the Liverpool supporters for the incredible backing they have given me in my time here and the warmth and generosity of spirit displayed to my family.' The defender - who won the League Cup in 2012 with Liverpool - is also captain of the Danish national team, for whom he has played 66 times and scored 12 goals.

Police in Georgia on Friday served a warrant for a probation violation at the trailer park home of a man and his son, a 17-year-old aspiring Marine. In the process of serving the warrant on the boy's father, an officer fatally shot the teen. His crime: according to his attorney, he did nothing more than answer the door while holding a controller of a Nintendo Wii. Police in Euharlee, Georgia - about 50 miles northwest of Atlanta - however, claim that Christopher Roupe pointed a gun at the female officer when he opened the door, which prompted her to fire a live round at the aspiring military man. Scroll down for video . Tragic: Christopher Roupe, 17, planned to join the Marine Corps. after he finished high school . Mistake: Police claim Roupe was holding a gun. Witnesses, however, say he was holding a Nintendo Wii controller . No witnesses reported seeing the boy holding any weapons, and authorities won't say whether a weapon was found at the scene. 'It just doesn't add up,' Cole Law, who is representing the Roupe family, told wsbtv.com. As for the claim that Roupe was holding a gun, Law says he's seen no evidence supporting the officer's claim. 'We don't know where that statement came from. The eyewitnesses on the . scene clearly state that he had a Wii controller in his hand. He heard a . knock at the door. He asked who it was, there was no response so he . opened the door and upon opening the door he was immediately shot in the . chest,' Law said. Scene: Officers were serving a warrant on Roupe's father for a probation violation when they shot the boy . Roupe was a student at Woodland High School and was an active member of the school's ROTC program. Friends say he was a nice young man who always looked out for his friends. 'He was a good kid. He always hung out with me and he took up for me,' friend William Corson told the station. After hearing the shots, neighbors in the small trailer park rushed to Roupe's home to see what happened. 'When we got up there, they said there was a Wii remote in his hand and . she shot him,' said Tia Howard, who lives a few doors down. Another neighbor says he saw the officer who pulled the trigger after the shooting. Witnesses: Roupe family attorney Cole Law says he's seen no evidence to suggest the boy was holding a weapon . 'This is tragic. She came out of this house. She put her head in her hands and she was sobbing. Supposedly, he opened the door with a BB gun and in my opinion I think he was playing a game with his neighborhood buddies,' said neighbor Ken Yates. The officer who fired the fatal shot has been placed on administrative leave as the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the incident. Once the investigation is complete, the GBI will turn its findings over to Cherokee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Rosemary Greene's office. Roupe's funeral is planned for Friday.

For the first time in years, more than 1 million New Yorkers are smoking, according to data released Monday, marking a disturbing rise of tobacco use in the city that pioneered a number of anti-smoking initiatives that were emulated nationally. Sixteen percent of adult New Yorkers smoked in 2013, up from 14 percent in 2010, which was the city's lowest recorded rate, according to the findings released by New York City's Department of Health. Paula Halton, smoking a cigarette outside a Manhattan building on Monday, found it hard to believe there had been an increase in the numbers of smokers. Uptick: NYC's Department of Health released data Monday showing that for the first time since 2007 there are over 1 million smokers in the city. Mayor Bloomberg (at an anti-tobacco summit at right) made a huge push during his administration to curb smoking in the city. At left, former child star Ashley Olsen smokes a cigarette in New York City . 'I feel definitely like a minority compared to what it used to be,' the 39-year-old Brooklyn resident said. 'I can't imagine an adult picking up smoking now.' The rise in 2013, which is the most recent data available, is striking since it comes as smoking rates fall across the country. However, the national average — 18 percent — is still higher than it is in New York. The findings were culled from answers to the department's annual health survey of thousands city residents. 'We've had a plateau in the smoking rate for a couple of years, but now it is a statistically significant increase,' said Dr. Mary Bassett, the city's health commissioner. 'We now know the rise is real and we aim to do something about it.' Under Michael Bloomberg, who served 12 years as mayor beginning in 2002, New York radically reshaped its plans to curb smoking among its residents. Bloomberg's signature health initiative was to bar smoking in public parks and most other public places, including bars and restaurants, across the nation's largest city. While those decisions originally sparked controversy, the policy was later embraced by most New Yorkers and copied across the U.S. The city also funded several hard-hitting campaigns that used graphic imagery of smoke-damaged internal organs — and depictions of amputations and other smoking-related health complications — to scare off users, particularly children. Puffing away: Sixteen percent of adult New Yorkers smoked in 2013, up from 14 percent in 2010, which was the city's lowest recorded rate. Here, a pedestrian smokes in the pedestrian plaza near Times Square in New York . Moreover, a pack of cigarettes purchased in New York City is subject to more taxes than any other municipality in the nation. Bassett believes that city budget cutbacks caused by the economic downturn of the last six years is the largest culprit for the rise. 'The city used a whole host of tools to drive down smoking,' said Bassett, who was appointed by Mayor Bill de Blasio after he took office in January. 'But we know we haven't been able to maintain the foot on the gas in the same way.' The city had to scale back on expensive television advertising and did away with some of its programs aimed at helping people quit, including one to provide nicotine replacements to smokers. The culture of smoking has also changed, Bassett said. The city has seen a rise in part-time smokers — including some social smokers who don't turn to cigarettes every day — and that is the demographic being targeted by the government's new $830,000 ad campaign entitled 'Imagine for Life.' 'We're aiming at smokers who think they don't smoke enough for it to hurt him,' Bassett said. 'This is a product that is not safe in any amount.' Bassett said the city also aims to bolster its support system for would-be quitters and emphasized that despite the recent rise in smoking, the number of smokers is still 25 percent lower than it was in 2002.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States Agency for International Development, USAID, on Monday urged the Cuban government to think again about its refusal of direct U.S. assistance for hurricane victims. "We call on the Cuban government to reconsider their decision on the United States offer, which we made with no preconditions and whose only objective was to get relief to people in dire need." USAID administrator Henrietta Fore said in a Monday afternoon conference call with reporters. Fore said the United States over the weekend had offered to begin relief flights as soon as Tuesday to Cuba, on civilian aircraft, delivering plastic sheeting, blankets and hygiene kits. The first flight would have brought aid worth $349,000. "And while we wait for the Cuban government's reconsideration of the United States offer we will continue to implement other components of our $5 million assistance package," Fore added. The United State will immediately obligate approximately $1.5 million in emergency humanitarian assistance to reputable international relief organizations and nongovernmental organizations. Fore said she will be in Honduras on Tuesday to inspect hurricane damage and review aid needs there. Earlier in the day, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack gave the first information that United States had made a weekend offer -- and the Cuban government had refused -- of $5 million in hurricane relief. The United States on Saturday "informed the Cuban government that the U.S. government is committed to providing up to $5 million in relief assistance to Cuban hurricane victims and that we could fly emergency relief supplies to Cuba as soon as the Cuban government authorized such assistance," McCormack said at his daily briefing. "On the 14th of September, just yesterday, the Cuban government informed us they would not accept a donation from the United States," he said. The United States has temporarily suspended some restrictions on private aid groups, sending assistance and money to Cuba. And McCormack said Monday he United States had in recent days licensed agricultural exports to Cuba worth $250 million, including lumber for reconstruction.

By . Alex Lazcano For Daily Mail Australia . The miracle koala who clung for his life to the grille of a car for nearly 90kms after being hit, has recovered from his injuries and released back into the wild. Nicknamed Blinky Grille, the koala arrived at the Australia Zoo Wildlife hospital four weeks ago after colliding with a car on the Bruce Highway, three hours north of Brisbane. Blinky surprised staff at the hospital by escaping with minimal injuries, suffering just a broken toenail, superficial trauma to the nose and a case of Chlamydia, which is common in the marsupials. All his ailments have been successfully treated. Timberwolf the miracle Koala released back into the wild after being in treatment at Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital for four weeks. Dr Amber Gillett, the Senior Veterinarian at Australia Zoo who treated the koala, was thrilled to see him released after treating him for the past month. 'Not all koalas that come into contact with cars are so lucky, which is why being able to release Timberwolf was the best result we could have hoped for,' said Dr Gillett. He was found at a service station near Gympie after he was hit by a car at Maryborough 90 kilometers away. Blinky Grill was lucky enough that the owner of the car he'd clung to took him to a local vet, who then had him taken into the care of vets at Australia Zoo. Blinky Grille, hailed a miracle koala, was released in a large koala habitat bushland outside of Maryborough. 'Timberwolf leapt from one eucalypt to another' on his release back in the wild . Before and after: Timberwolf the koala who clung to a bumper bar for 90kms was treated for minor injuries and has been released to a koala habitat in Queensland . Once released he leapt from one eucalyptus tree to another, giving Dr Gillett confidence that he would remain the survivor that came through the hospital doors at the end of July. 'Timberwolf is a tough koala and the fact that he's exploring his environment confidently indicates that he's still fit and healthy after being in care with us for three weeks,' she said. Timberwolf nicknamed Blinky Grille was x-rayed on arrival at the Australia Zoo wildlife hospital to check the extent of his injuries . The Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital sees more than 800 koala patients each year. More than half of these are suffering from trauma caused by being hit by cars and other vehicles, followed closely by injuries from domestic dog attacks and disease. The Wildlife Hospital relies on donations from the public to continue its work to help koalas like Timberwolf and ultimately safeguard the species. If you find injured wildlife call the Wildlife Emergency Hotline on 1300 369 652. Dr Gillett of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital treated the koala and released him in to the wild .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 13:09 EST, 13 November 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 13:43 EST, 13 November 2013 . A seven-year-old boy with learning difficulties has been threatened with deportation despite the fact his mother has British citizenship. The Home Office has written to Jamie Leung, who is Canadian by birth, warning him he could be 'forcibly removed' from the UK. He has lived in Crossens, Southport, with his mother Sara, since June last year. Jamie Leung (left) has been warned he could be 'forcibly removed' from the UK. He has lived in Southport with his mother Sara (right) since June last year . His mother, who has dual British and Canadian citizenship, said she did not think she would need a visa for Jamie for her home country just because he is Canadian by birth. She has now said she is 'horrified, angry and upset' at the actions of the Home Office after they sent a letter warning Jamie he could be deported. Ms Leung moved to Germany in 2007 where she met her partner Heiko Dietz when Jamie was a toddler. Upon arriving in the UK from Geramny in 2012, Ms Leung was told her son could not enter the UK legally. Jamie was issued with a six-month visitor visa and Ms Leung was told to resolve the issue with the Home Office. But she said she could not afford about £1,000 for a special visa for her son. Upon arriving in the UK from Geramny in 2012, Ms Leung was told her son could not enter the UK legally . Acting on advice Ms Leung and her German-born fiancé Mr Dietz decided he should apply for a residency card and then have Jamie registered as his dependent. But she said the Home Office rejected the application and her young son could now be forcibly removed from the country. In its letter the Home Office said it did not receive the correct evidence to support the application. It goes on to say: 'As you appear to have no alternative basis of stay in the United Kingdom you should now make arrangements to leave. Ms Leung's other children, Quinn (right) and Elisha (centre) are not affected by the ruling. The children are pictured with Ms Leung and her partner Heiko Khelifi . 'If you fail to do so voluntarily your departure may be enforced.' Ms Leung's other children, Quinn, three, and Elisha, 11 months, are not affected by the ruling. Ms Leung said: 'They have Jamie’s birth certificate and passport. I have two other European-born children here, I can’t just pick up and leave, it is ridiculous. 'I have been told that Jamie should have a visa, this had just never occurred to me. 'No one ever asked me any questions about his passport when we went to other European countries. 'Then to come to one of my home countries, I would never have considered it.' The letter from the Home Office landed at the family’s home on Ms Leung's birthday on Saturday. She said she is yet to explain to Jamie what is happening. 'I have not attempted to tell him. I am worried about his mental state, I do not want to upset him. What mother would want to explain to their child that their government wants them out?' Ms Leung said it was 'particularly stressful' making the application while pregnant with her third child. She said: 'During the time of all of this, trying to communication with the UK Border Agency, I was also heavily pregnant with my daughter, so it was particularly stressful.' Ms Leung said they were due to appeal the Home Office's decision. The family’s plea to keep Jamie in the UK has been backed by Southport MP Dr John Pugh. He said: 'You would have thought that the immigration department had better things to do than harass a seven-year-old child. 'This is one of those situations which the rules and regulations clearly do not properly cater for. 'They wouldn’t even know which country to send him to. So it is farcical to carry on like this. 'There is no court in the land that is going to split up a mother from her child. The whole thing is ludicrous bureaucracy.' A Home Office spokesman said: 'All applications are considered on their individual merits and in line with the EU rules. 'The onus is on the individual to provide the necessary evidence to support their application.'

Palo Alto, California (CNN) -- Facebook is already adept at handling public-relations blunders, but the company is beginning to focus on how it can help with real calamities. About a dozen disaster-relief workers from governments and nonprofit organizations convened this week for a five-hour meeting at Facebook's offices here in Palo Alto, California, and via teleconference from Washington. While the groups, which included members from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and California Emergency Management Agency, were grateful for the gesture, they were not above taking good-humored jabs at Facebook for its rocky relations with government. "Thank you so much for inviting us here," Kelly Huston, a Cal EMA spokesman, said near the end of the assembly. "I know your interaction with government isn't great because we're suing you all the time for privacy issues." Meanwhile, another Facebook privacy debate was stewing during the meeting when Facebook began widening the reach of its facial-recognition feature. European Union regulators will hold an inquiry about the matter, Bloomberg reports. The Tuesday event was Facebook's first noteworthy collaboration with emergency-response organizations, spokespeople said. Site administrators currently manage a page called Global Disaster Relief on Facebook. It has about 540,000 members, or less than 1% of Facebook's total user base -- but still more than the combined Facebook fans for all the groups that attended the meeting. FEMA and the American Red Cross representatives offered occasional insights from Washington. FEMA Administrator William Craig Fugate, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009, met with Facebook in October but was not present at this week's meeting. "Discussions like these help us learn from each other about what is working well and what isn't," Shayne Adamski, a FEMA senior manager who attended the meeting, wrote in an e-mailed statement. For some, the affair was an education seminar, a chance to ask questions to the masters of the platform. Wendy Harman, the social media director for the Red Cross, expressed frustrations with managing Facebook pages. "It makes me want to cry thinking about making 80,000 instances and updating them into eternity," she said. Facebook spokespeople were quick to offer suggestions. "We can play a really important role in educating," said Dave Steer, who manages Facebook's trust and safety team. "This is one of the reasons we convened this kind of forum." The Red Cross extended an open invitation to Facebook to embed with its disaster-relief team, Harman said. Google, which has more than 20 times as many employees as Facebook, devoted a "small team" last year to building projects that help provide disaster-related news or organize search efforts for missing people. Tumblr, the blogging platform, has added buttons to its site that encourage bloggers to donate to disaster relief efforts. Facebook was less apt to promise dedicated resources from its 2,000 employees. Steer suggested Facebook could create an internal think tank focused on disaster response. "How do we leverage some of the minds of the people who work here to tackle the technical problems?" he asked. Company spokesman Frederic Wolens added: "Facebook is the platform." Some weren't fully convinced of Facebook's dedication to the cause. "I know that Facebook is a platform, and you want to push that, but going beyond marketing Facebook," said Heather Blanchard, co-founder of the nonprofit Crisis Commons, "part of it is about recording history." "You have an entire research population hungry for what you know," she added. Facebook plans to discuss the feedback it received from the organizations over the next few weeks and will determine how best to handle the requests. Tuesday's agenda included a brainstorming session for a Facebook application dedicated to disaster relief, but the concept wasn't discussed at length. Facebook liaisons offered technical guidance and recorded talking points and ideas on whiteboards: one bolted to the wall and the other projected digitally. In the past, Facebook has held similar summits with organizations addressing bullying, suicide and privacy issues. Social media tools have quickly become a mainstay for disaster response in many countries. Twitter saw the third-highest activity on its service after the Japan earthquake in March, a spokesman said. Justin Osofsky, Facebook's director of partnerships, highlighted "stuff that happens organically" in response to disasters, such as the page for finding items lost during the Joplin, Missouri, tornado. By highlighting these grassroots programs in addition to promoting those from government and nonprofits, Facebook thinks it can help. "There's a thirst for information," Steer said. "Now the onus is on us to quench that thirst."

It's deja vu, drug lord style. Mexican authorities say they gunned down notorious cartel leader Nazario Moreno Gonzalez on Sunday. By most measures, it sounds like a major victory in the government's fight against organized crime. But there's a catch. He was supposed to be dead already. In 2010, then-Mexican President Felipe Calderon's government trumpeted Moreno's death, announcing that he'd been killed after two days of shootouts between armed forces and criminals. Officials revealed a surprising twist on Sunday, announcing the 2010 report of his death was inaccurate. Monte Alejandro Rubido Garcia, executive secretary of Mexico's National Public Security System, said Moreno was very much alive when federal troops cornered him on Sunday. They planned to arrest him, Rubido said, but Moreno was fatally shot after he opened fire. For years, rumors have swirled about Moreno. Critics said the Mexican government had never proven that Moreno had been slain after the 2010 announcement. Federal authorities initially said they couldn't provide physical evidence because Moreno's body had been collected by fellow cartel members after clashes. In 2011, state prosecutors acknowledged they'd never recovered Moreno's body and couldn't confirm he was dead. "We've never found a body, fingerprints, photographs," George W. Grayson, a Mexico expert at the College of William and Mary, told CNN that year. "We know his burial site, but no one has exhumed the body. There are a lot of questions." Authorities received numerous reports that Moreno remained alive, Rubido said Sunday, . On Sunday, Mexican authorities said fingerprint tests had confirmed that Moreno was really the one they killed this time, but they were still awaiting DNA test results. More on the Mexican Drug War . Cartel founder 'known for his dangerousness' Moreno -- nicknamed "The Craziest One," "El Chayo" and "The Doctor" -- was "known for his dangerousness," Rubido said Sunday. He was a founder of La Familia Michoacana, a cartel that started in the western Mexican state of Michoacan and grabbed national attention in 2006 after reportedly hurling five decapitated heads of rival gang members onto a dance floor. The group began splintering soon after authorities announced Moreno's death in 2010, and a similar spinoff organization known as the Knights Templar effectively took La Familia's place as the dominant group in the region. The Knights Templar has increasingly found itself in the Mexican government's cross-hairs in recent months as citizen self-defense militias in Michoacan pressured authorities to crack down on the cartel and capture Moreno, who they claimed was still alive and leading the group. On Sunday, Mexican officials described his death as "the most important blow to the criminal group that he headed" and said he was "the undisputed leader of the criminal group that dominates the state," but didn't mention the group's name. Toning down the rhetoric about drug cartels has been part of Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto's security strategy since he took office in December 2012. Authorities have largely stopped parading suspects before cameras after high-profile arrests and seem to be making an effort to avoid actions that could be seen as glorifying cartels. 'Spiritual leader' A Mexican government dossier released in 2010 described Moreno as the brains behind many killings. Authorities said he was a self-fashioned "spiritual leader" who used religion to recruit criminals and strengthen his stronghold. But he started small. As a teenager, he was a migrant worker in the United States and worked in several locations in California, the profile said. He was arrested for the first time on drug trafficking charges in McAllen, Texas, in 1994. "Moreno started as a migrant in California, continued trafficking marijuana on the border and became the leader of one of the most violent criminal organizations in the history of Mexico," the report said. In Mexico, Moreno dubbed himself the "savior of the people" and crafted La Familia's philosophy, outlined in a "bible" provided to new recruits. La Familia's approach showed a "strong religious background," the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said in 2009. "It purportedly originated to protect locals from the violence of drug cartels. Now, La Familia Michoacana uses drug proceeds to fuel their agenda that encompasses a Robin Hood-type mentality -- steal from the rich and give to the poor," the DEA said. "They believe they are doing God's work, and pass out Bibles and money to the poor. La Familia Michoacana also gives money to schools and local officials." In 2011, the Knights Templar announced its presence and took a similar approach, with banners hanging in prominent locations vowing to protect residents of Michoacan. "Our commitment to society will be to preserve order and prevent robbery, kidnapping and extortion, and protect the state from interventions by rival organizations," the signs said. In a raid aimed at cracking down on the new cartel that year, Mexican police seized white robes emblazoned with bright red crosses and handbooks outlining a code for the Knights Templar. Analysts have long pointed to such finds as a sign that the Knights Templar also used religion to recruit and retain members. The legend of 'El Chapo': Cartel chief cultivated Robin Hood image .

By . Hugo Gye . PUBLISHED: . 07:18 EST, 29 January 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 09:04 EST, 29 January 2013 . A never-before-seen portrait of Nazi leader Hermann Goering painted by a Jewish artist during the 1930s is set to go under the hammer. The oil painting by Imre Goth enraged the tyrant after it was completed, as he was furious that it depicted him as the morphine-fuelled drug addict he was. Goering was so outraged by the artwork that Goth feared for his life, and was forced to flee Germany and seek refuge in Britain. Up for auction: This portrait of Hermann Goering by Imre Goth is going under the hammer . The portrait never left the possession of its creator, and on his death 30 years ago he asked a friend to destroy it. But the confidante kept the unique work, and it is expected to sell for thousands of pounds when it goes up for auction next month. Goering commissioned the Hungarian-born artist - whose work appeared in a number of trendy German magazines - to paint portraits of him and his actress girlfriend in 1934, at the height of the Nazi rise to power. But Hitler’s right hand man was said to be dismayed when he saw the finished article. He had developed an addiction to morphine during the First World War, and worried that the painting showed the effects the drug was having on his body. Badly received: The Nazi feared that the picture exposed his debilitating morphine habit by depicting the damage it had done to his appearance . Goering demanded that the artist alter the portrait to bring it in line with heroic propaganda images of his fellow leaders. But Goth insisted he would only paint what he could see, and refused to create a ‘dishonest’ vision of Goering. Realising his life was in danger, the artist fled to Britain, and was interned in a camp on the Isle of Man before being allowed to settle in the UK, where he stayed until his death in 1982, aged 89. He brought the painting with him and entrusted it to friend Sylvia Reed on the condition she dispose of it when she died. But she decided to preserve the artwork for posterity, and kept it under wraps for almost 30 years. Propaganda: An official portrait of Goering painting him in a much more heroic light . Imre Goth (1893-1982) was a Hungarian Jewish artist who found fame as a portraitist in Berlin. His pictures were often seen in German magazines during the 1930s, which was when he was commissioned to paint Hermann Goering. During the middle of that decade, as Nazi Germany became an increasingly hostile place for Jews, he moved to Britain after holding a successful exhibition in Birmingham. As a citizen of an enemy state, Goth was interned on the Isle of Man during the early years of the Second World War. However, he later settled into a peaceful life, and struck up a friendship with film producer Alexander Korda, giving him an entry into the British showbiz world. He lived off the proceeds of his inventions, which included car headlights and a type of parachute. A note from Mrs Reed which accompanies the picture reads: 'Goering commissioned him to paint pictures of friends and particularly of an actress he was having an affair with at the time, and then asked him to paint his portrait as he wished to give it as present to his girlfriend. 'At the time Imre Goth got on well with Goering due to their mutual interest in aircraft and flying... all went well until the portrait of Goering was finished. 'Goering felt that the eyes betrayed the fact that he was taking morphine and he demanded that Goth should change them. 'Goth said he could only paint what he saw and left immediately.' The portrait forms part of a war memorabilia sale to be held by Mullock’s auctioneers in Ludlow, Shropshire on February 14. Its reserve price is £8,000, but it has previously been valued by experts as high as £50,000. 'The historical significance of this portrait cannot be denied,' said Richard Westwood-Brookes of Mullock's. 'As opposed to the official Nazi portraits of Goering, this shows him exactly what he was - a depraved drug addict - and for that reason I personally think it should be displayed publicly to show successive generations exactly what the Nazis really were, as opposed to their now more familiar propaganda images.' Before his exile Goth was a celebrated artist and his paintings could be seen on the covers of magazines and on gallery walls.

Anyone who still believes that the Europa League is merely a distraction to a team’s domestic campaign need look no further than Everton’s passionate travelling contingent in Lille on Thursday. Huge numbers were being reported on Twitter on Wednesday morning, some claiming close to 20,000 away fans would be descending on the French city in anticipation of their team’s Group H clash against 2011 Ligue 1 champions, Lille. Although the final figure may have been closer to 10,000, there’s no doubt that the flame of the Europa League burns brightly on the blue side of Merseyside and that became clear to see inside the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Thursday night. Around 10,000 Everton fans made the 300 mile journey to Lille to watch their side in Europa League action . Everton fans are revelling in their club's first European adventure since the 2009/10 season . Everton fans took over the main square in Lille ahead of their side's goalless draw in France . Blue shirts dominated almost two complete tiers of the stadium while hundreds of banners including the messages ‘Ross (Barkley) is boss’ and ‘Roberto (Martinez), we dream the same dream’ adorned the hoardings during a 0-0 draw which the Toffees remain top of their group. Although the Goodison Park faithful didn’t get the chance to celebrate a goal, Everton kept possession well and stuck to Martinez’s attacking style all while appreciating the importance of a draw away from home in Europe. Ross Barkley, who had to play with a bandage wrapped around his head for the majority of his European debut after an early collision, took to Twitter to praise the Everton fans. He tweeted: ’Good point and clean sheet, travelling fans were outstanding as always’. Unfortunately for Everton’s travelling contingent, what should be remembered as a brilliant away trip was slightly marred by two separate events which saw around 100 hooded Lille fans stage an unprovoked attack on unsuspecting Blues fans outside a bar on Wednesday night. Police arrived on the scene within minutes, but eye witnesses reported a number of injuries with some Everton fans suffering bloodied head wounds. A doorman at the Australian Bar told the Liverpool Echo: ’The Lille hooligans just appeared from the Place Louise de Bettignies across the road, from a side street, and just ran at the pub. There were some Everton fans outside smoking and they got caught cold. ‘The hooligans picked up chairs we had stacked up outside and attacked them while others used them to smash windows and try to get inside.’ The atmosphere was largely friendly but pockets of violence broke out on both Wednesday and Thursday . French riot police officers run after fans during clashes which broke out in the main square of Lille . Follow all the latest #UEL action on: . - Facebook - UEFAEuropaLeague . - Twitter - EuropaLeague . - Website - uefa.com . A second incident occurred on Thursday afternoon as fans soaked up the pre-match atmosphere in the heart of Lille’s city centre before riot police released three tear gas bombs while charging towards what they clearly believed to be a unruly group of Everton fans. The general consensus in the aftermath of both incidents seemed to be that the away support had been the victims of their second unprovoked attack in as many days as the official Everton Twitter account warned fans to stay away from the area. The club tweeted on Thursday afternoon: ‘We advise Everton fans in Lille to avoid the main square in the city centre.’ Fortunately, there seemed to be no further incidents after the game itself as Sportsmail reporter Elliott Bretland took to Twitter to reveal some fun and games between fans and police.

Britain's Kyle Edmund had to settle for the runners-up spot at the Yokohama Challenger but is still set to break into the world's top 200 for the first time. The 19-year-old, long regarded as Britain's most promising young male player, reached his first final on the second-tier Challenger Tour thanks to back-to-back victories over higher-ranked players. But Australian John Millman proved too strong in the final, winning 6-4, 6-4 in Japan. Britain's Kyle Edmund is set to break into the world's top 200 for the first time . It is the second consecutive weekend Millman has beaten a British player in a Challenger final, with James Ward losing in Australia seven days ago. Edmund may well have been spurred on by the rapid progress of 20-year-old Liam Broady, who reached his first Challenger final last month to climb into the top 200. Edmund's success has come since he ended his coaching partnership with former British number one Greg Rusedski last month. Having made encouraging progress under Lawn Tennis Association coach Colin Beecher, Edmund turned to Rusedski in April but the association proved to be short-lived. The split came after a succession of first-round defeats, with Edmund continuing to work with his other coach, James Trotman. Edmund recently ended his coaching partnership with former British number one Greg Rusedski (above) LTA chief executive Michael Downey had been a strong supporter of the Edmund-Rusedski partnership, and he said: 'Kyle wanted Greg and Greg wanted an opportunity. I'll wear this one. But we are optimistic of where Kyle is heading.' Rusedski's television and other commitments meant he could only spend a certain number of weeks working with Edmund during a very important time in his development. Director of player development Bob Brett said: 'I spoke with Greg and I said he needed to have a project. But there has to be a real commitment to it and unfortunately he wasn't ready to make that commitment, although he did free up extra weeks.'

(CNN) -- Big company. Big salary. Big sendoff. Jason Shellen says he left Google because the chance to build something new "outweighed the need for stability." That's the formula millions of American workers used for years to map their career trajectory. Conventional wisdom advised workers to land a job with a big company and retire with generous benefits. But there's a new breed of worker who is making that formula seem as quaint as a VHS tape. They are the ultimate risk-takers -- they leave large, successful companies to pursue their own dreams even though the economy is reeling. They are people like Jason Shellen, who resigned as Google's manager of new business development in 2007 to launch Plinky.com, a startup that's designed to inspire bloggers and users of social media sites. Shellen says he was getting complacent working at Google, despite the company's domination of the Web. He says he decided to leave Google despite a shaky economy because he wanted to force himself to change. "Being an entrepreneur is all about risk and innovation, not timing the market," Shellen says. "A good idea doesn't wait for the perfect time to emerge. The ability to build something new outweighed the need for stability." iReport.com: Are you striking out on your own and starting your own project at home? Why leave a sure thing? Stability, though, seems to be a rare quality in the workplace. Those who contemplate leaving the corporate cocoon can't help but pay attention to the constant news about corporate layoffs. Their challenge: Why leave a comfortable position in corporate America when there seem to be so few? Michael Rhim had to face that question. He says he was a regional vice president at TIAA-CREF, a company that provides retirement plans for nonprofit groups. He says the company had 5,000 employees, $400 billion in assets and 17,000 clients at its peak. But Rhim says he started contemplating a change because TIAA-CREF's corporate culture was changing. He started talking with a friend who ran a consulting firm, and he started paying attention to his emotions. "It was getting more difficult to get up in the morning," he says. "I wasn't enjoying my old job as much as I used to. The more I talked about the job with my new partner, the more excited I got." Rhim left TIAA-CREF in March of 2008. He is now an executive at a new company, PRM Consulting, which has 25 employees. Now he does much of his own typing. He can't take clients to fancy restaurants. He even uses recycled paper for scrap paper to save costs. Though Rhim misses the perks of a large company, he says he received a lot more in return. "There's much quick decision making," he says. "I work in a culture where we are not afraid to try new things." Shellen, who resigned from Google to start Plinky, says the large resources of a company can actually slow down the creative process. A person might want to invent a product, but small things like the name of the product end up being discussed in a committee. "You don't find that in a small company," he says. "At my new company, Plinky, we sometimes dream things up in the morning and by the afternoon have it live on the Web. That never happens at a big company." Greater freedom is also what inspired Vanessa Fox to resign from her position at Google, where she helped build Webmaster Central, one of the company's most successful projects. Today, Fox is the founder of "Jane and Robot," which helps Web site developers ensure their sites can be found by potential customers, and "Nine By Blue," which helps businesses use online data to better understand their customers. Fox says the challenge of creating something in an evolving space like the Internet was too great to pass up. "As hokey as it sounds, there's more to life than money," she says. "As much as I loved working at Google, I am really enjoying the flexibility I have now, as well as the ability to really make a difference in the direction I choose to go in." Planning your exit . Those who leave the security of corporate life should not do it without research and a plan, some say. The notion of suddenly bolting a cushy corporate dream to follow one's bliss may seem romantic. But some who've done it say those thinking about making a change should make a frank appraisal of their talents and latch onto something unique that they have to offer. Rhim, the retirement planning consultant, says he knew the IRS would soon change the retirement plans for nonprofit groups. He knew his expertise would be in demand. "I sat down and put together a three-month planning process," he says. "I knew there was going to be a market out there where firms needed additional guidance." All the careful planning, though, didn't remove his fear, Rhim says. But he discovered something remarkable. Once he committed to leaving, doors suddenly opened for him: People materialized to help him and amazing coincidences led to business opportunities. Rhim, a devout Christian, says it seemed like his leap of faith was being rewarded. "No question, it was a scary proposition," Rhim says. "But my pastor preached about when you do the right things, the Lord will bless you as he sees fit." Yet Rhim says he knew he couldn't just lean on faith. "If you realize that you have some skill sets that are valuable, you can market yourself accordingly," Rhim says. "If not, you're sitting there, waiting to see if you're going to be downsized." Rhim says he's happy with his move. He sometimes misses having the muscle of a big company behind him, but he no longer feels he's being controlled by larger forces. He may have to do his own typing now, but at least he is writing his own script, he says. "If you allow yourself to have other people continue to dictate your future," Rhim says, "you're at their mercy."

In the United States, a person dies every 19 minutes from a prescription drug overdose. Many of those deaths are attributed to a family of painkillers known as opioids. In an effort to reduce abuse, the Food and Drug Administration announced on Tuesday that it "is invoking its authority to require safety labeling changes and post-market studies to combat the crisis of misuse, abuse, addiction, overdose and death from these potent drugs that have harmed too many patients and devastated too many families and communities," according to a press release. The label changes are meant for extended-release or long-acting opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone, among others. FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg told reporters: "These drugs are at the heart of the abuse epidemic. But we must recognize the medical use they have." Currently, the labels on the drugs say they are for "the relief of moderate to severe pain in patients requiring continuous, around-the-clock opioid treatment for an extended period of time." To discourage over-use and misuse of the drugs, the new labels will say the drugs should be used only when "alternative treatment options are inadequate." While the label changes are something physicians should be aware of, the FDA said it hopes this will result in a larger conversation about pain management between patients and doctors. The FDA expects to finalize the new labeling requirements by the end of this year.

FA independent director Heather Rabbatts has been charged with the FA of ensuring that Scudamore, following the sexist email exchange scandal, keeps his 'undertaking to take further steps on inclusion and diversity.' This followed a meeting between FA chairman Greg Dyke, Rabbatts, chairman of the FA inclusion board and Peter McCormick, interim PL chairman who explained the process behind the PL clubs voting unanimously not to take action against  CEO following his puerile exchanges with TV rights lawyer Nick West.

'Entering into email exchanges of this nature was wrong and the apology I have made is sincere, as is the contrition I feel.

'I appreciate that I have a tremendous amount of hard work to do to convince those in the game who do not know me that my leadership and work in the areas of equality and discrimination to date reflect who I am and what I believe. So, I will now undertake meetings and discussions with a wide range of stakeholders in the game to hear their views and to reassure them that I will continue to do my utmost personally, and through all the Premier League’s means to help promote diversity and inclusion, develop the women’s game and support women who want be involved in football at any level.

Not guilty: Reg Traviss pictured outside Southwark Crown Court after being cleared of rape on Thursday . Amy Winehouse's former boyfriend today spoke out about the nine-month ordeal he suffered after being accused of raping a woman while she slept in his bed. Reg Traviss described his rape trial as being like a 'runaway train' as he celebrated walking free from Southwark Crown Court when a jury acquitted him of all charges. A 27-year-old friend of his had accused him of twice raping her at his flat in Marylebone, central London, in the early hours of New Year's Eve last year. The 35-year-old film director - who was going out with Back To Black singer Winehouse when she died in July last year - said the pair had consensual sex after a night out drinking together. The unnamed woman denied that she had consented, and accused Traviss of saying, 'I've always wanted to do this to you' as he sexually assaulted her. Hearing the verdicts, Traviss closed his eyes and bowed his head. Emerging from the dock, he thanked Judge Deborah Taylor and hugged his family and friends. Leaving . court he hit out at the authorities for not dropping the weak prosecution case, and said he hoped to fall in love again after . losing Winehouse, thanking his current girlfriend, actress Sheridan Smith, for supporting him during the trial. He said the 'nauseating' trauma of the false allegations had compounded the grief he felt in the wake of the singer's death: 'It has been a difficult 18 months, it's been unreal in the true sense of the term.' Speaking on the steps outside Southwark Crown Court, Traviss said the police should have dropped the investigation after looking at CCTV that contradicted her version of events. She told investigators she was so drunk she could not stand up, but footage showed her walking freely and unaided with Mr Traviss to get in a taxi to his flat. He said: 'I am really relieved, really relieved it's all over. I never did it. The last nine months or however long has been crazy. 'It feels like anyone can make a complaint and end up having their day in court. Being impartial, that's fair enough and I think it is right. 'I can understand why it's like that but in reality a train starts running and in this case the person who made the complaint wasn't investigated, the police didn't know anything about her.' Lovers: The film director was dating Amy Winehouse at the time of her death last year . New girlfriend: Reg Traviss paid tribute to actress Sheridan Smith, pictured hugging him above, for standing by him during the trial . He added that he had always been confident that the police, Crown Prosecution Service and judge did not believe he was guilty. Calling . for anonymity for those accused of sex crimes, he said: 'I definitely . think in cases like this, no one believed it but my name was still . associated with those headlines. 'That's going to be the case unless anonymity is given to the accused in cases like this.' Traviss branded his accuser 'either mentally ill or evil' and said he had not seen her since the night they had sex. His . lawyer, Ian Winter QC, said: 'It is an exceptional case and I don't . think in my career that I have defended a case where I have been so sure . of my client's innocence. 'What . is unbelievable is that if we hadn't found them coming out of the club . on that CCTV, which the police had totally failed to identify, there was . a real risk of a miscarriage of justice.' Denial: Reg Traviss, pictured left, has always denied the rape allegation. After the verdict he said of new love Sheridan Smith, right, that 'she has been a real strength throughout' The director, . who made the 2010 film Psychosis, featuring Buffy the Vampire Slayer . star Charisma Carpenter and The Darkness singer Justin Hawkins, was . first arrested over the allegations in April. Traviss, who . had apparently planned to marry Winehouse before she tragically died, . said he was 'completely and utterly flabbergasted' by the claims and there was 'no question' the attack happened. He even told the jury: 'I sort of . came away from that evening thinking this could be really good, this . could be the start of something. 'I wasn't looking for a girlfriend, but she is somebody I have known for a long time and that there could be something in this.' Southwark Crown . Court had earlier heard how the pair had been out drinking in three West . End bars when they headed back to his flat in the early hours.

The . woman claimed she was asleep in bed with Mr Traviss when she awoke to . find him having sex with her. She said he stopped when she asked him . what he was doing, but when she passed out again she woke up to him . doing it a second time. The 27-year-old also claimed that . when she later got up to leave his home she could not find her . underwear. When she asked Traviss where they were he told her he wanted . to keep them as a memento, she claimed. But . Traviss has always strongly maintained his innocence and told the court . the woman was completely 'compos mentis' when they had sex, and that it . was in fact her who lured him into bed. He . said they had both been 'merry drunk' and had agreed she would stay at . his as it was just round the corner which she was 'very happy to do so.' At . around 4.30am Traviss said he suggested they 'get their heads down' and . offered to sleep on the sofa while she slept in the bed but she told . him to 'come and sleep in the bed' and initiated sex. He told the court: 'She had a big smile on her face. She was being very inviting about me coming and getting into bed with her. 'She was someone that I knew and trusted. If she didn't then I would just go to sleep. But pretty much straight away we started kissing and touching each other. 'She was leading it just as much as I was following it. It was completely equal. There was never any question she did not consent. 'There is no truth in whatsoever in the allegations. It didn't happen.'
Woman claimed Reg Traviss attacked her after they had been drinking . But jury agreed with his defence that New Year's Eve sex was consensual . Filmmaker argued he should have been given anonymity during trial .

By . Ben Spencer . Littering and fly tipping has cost the Woodland Trust over £500,000 in the past four years (library image) Burned out cars, a dead horse and an entire fitted kitchen are some of the items recently dumped in British woodlands, a conservation charity has revealed. Clearing up fly tipping and littering in forests has cost more than half a million pounds in the past four years, according to the Woodland Trust. The charity said that at one site in Cumbria, it had been forced to clear up 100 bags of rubbish and items including a car seat, a space hopper, a pram, a door, two mountain bikes, and eight musical drums since last summer. At woods in Ambergate, Derbyshire, an entire bulk bag of pornographic magazines had been dumped. Illegal fly tipping cost the charity £90,000 in clean-up costs in the past four years, while picking up litter at its 1,200 woods across the UK cost more than £430,000. Littering not only diverts money from caring for woodlands to clear-up work, it also damages wildlife, the Woodland Trust said. The report, released to mark the International Day of Forests today, calls for stronger deterrents for fly tipping. The charity, which owns and manages 1,200 woodlands covering 20,000 hectares, has recorded dozens of incidents of fly tipping across its estates. Discarded rubbish includes burned-out cars, a caravan, mattresses, animal carcasses and chemical waste. Norman Starks, Woodland Trust UK operations director, said: ‘Not only is fly tipping illegal, costing us tens of thousands of pounds which could be spent on caring for woods, but it provides a real danger to our native flora and fauna. ‘Trees are facing an unprecedented level of threat from disease, pests and development and we need people to help protect them, rather than add to this threat. ‘We cannot assume trees and woods will be around forever if we keep treating them this way.’ He added: ‘It’s also important to remember that ‘natural’ litter such as dead wood is a unique habitat for a large number of wildlife species so if people come across fallen timber when visiting a wood, please leave it where it lies.’ A selection of items, such as pornographic magazines, car seats and bags and bags of rubbish were found at sites across the country, the charity said (library image)

(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."

Tragic loss: Henry Miller died aged only 19 . A British teenager who died after taking a hallucinogenic drug in a tribal ritual during a gap year in Colombia was encouraged to try it by his hostel. Henry Miller, 19, from Bristol, took Yage – which induces vivid hallucinations – while taking part in a tribal ritual in remote rainforest. His body was later found dumped on a dirt track. His grieving family said the teenager, who was due to go to university in September, suffered a reaction to the plant infusion after the hostel he was staying at recommended the drink. The Casa del Rio hostel in Mocoa in the Putumayo region promoted the drug on the ‘things to do’ section of its website. Yage is said to create hallucinations more extreme than those caused by LSD, ketamine or magic mushrooms. The website entry read: ‘Experience Yage, Indian tradition taking a medicinal plant which purifies and can make you hallucinate’. However, yesterday the reference was deleted from the hostel’s website. Owner Felipe Geomare told The Mail on Sunday Henry checked out of the hostel before he died. Mr Geomare said: ‘I have nothing to do with the ritual or the indigenous community in which it’s taken. Many tourists want to become part of the ritual and ask to take Yage and so I help them organise it but it’s not my fault.’ Henry’s parents Elizabeth and David, both 52, paid tribute to their ‘adventurous, polite and very much loved’ son in a statement yesterday. Colombian police are now investigating the death, and the people who supplied the drug.

Covered in scars and bruises or held in a vice like grip by an unseen male, these are not the kind of profile pictures Tinder users are used to seeing. But the popular dating app has become the latest platform used to raise awareness of the growing problem of sex trafficking. The women pictured are in fact actresses who are posing as victims. Users are able to scroll through several shots of them before seeing a message which reveals the campaign behind the pictures. Tinder campaign: The fake profiles feature actresses posing as victims of sex trafficking in an attempt to raise awareness of the issue . Raising awareness: Each profile ends with a stark message 'Sex trafficking victims have no options. You have an option to help end it now' 'Your options are left or right,' the message reads, 'sex trafficking victims have no options. You have an option to help end it now.' 'Made up to work here, but too young to be there,' reads another profile featuring a heavily made-up adolescent looking girl. The campaign has been launched by Immigrant Council of Ireland and advertising agency eightytwenty to attempt to bring home the reality of modern day slavery. With human trafficking now the second largest criminal activity in the world, it is increasingly common in the West. The International Labour Organization estimates that there are over 1.5 million victims of forced labour in developed economies and the European Union. A recent Association of Chief Police Officers report found over 2,212 brothels just in London with an estimated 50 per cent of the women working in them believed to be victims of trafficking. One of the many profiles created for the campaign shows a women being held down by an unseen male . Speaking about the innovative campaign, Cathal Gillen of eightytwenty says: 'This is the first use of Tinder in Ireland for a campaign of this nature and one of the first globally. 'Tinder has become an extremely popular app in Ireland, and it provides us with a unique, innovative and stand out way of communicating to men the issues faced by women involved in sex trafficking' So far the organisation is reporting a good response to the large number of fake profiles they have set up. The NCA’s United Kingdom Human Trafficking Centre (UKHTC) estimates that 2,744, people, including 602 children, were potential victims of trafficking for exploitation in 2013. This represented an increase of 22 per cent on 2012. The report lists the 10 most common countries of origin for victims, which shows Romania as the most prevalent country overall, and Poland as the most likely nation for labour trafficking. The number of British victims increased 124 per cent to 193, of whom three quarters had been trafficked around the country for sexual exploitation.
Fake profiles see actresses made up as sex trafficking victims . Each profile features several harrowing pictures and a message . Campaign launched by Immigration Council of Ireland . Worked with advertising agency eightytwenty to try and raise awareness .

Search vessels has reached its designated site in the southern Indian Ocean to join the deep sea search and solve the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The Fugro Discovery has arrived at Fremantle Port in Western Australia, where the aircraft is believed to have crashed with 239 people on board. Crews are preparing to resume the sonar searches of the sea floor, more than 1,500 kilometres off the Western Australian coast on Monday with high-tech equipment and video cameras. Experts believe the plane crashed somewhere in the area after veering off course from it's Kuala Lumpur to Beijing flight on 8 March. Meanwhile the Go Phoenix arrived on Sunday and will start about 12 days of sonar surveys, according to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. Scroll down for video . The Fugro Discovery arrived at Fremantle Port on Sunday and is expected to join the search for MH370 in the Indian Ocean soon . Fugro Discovery (pictured), which along with the Malaysian-contracted GO Phoenix, will soon start a new high-resolution search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 . A three-dimensional model of the sea floor terrain, derived from satellite gravity measurements and some from ocean passage soundings. A bathymetric survey currently underway is focussed on gathering more detailed and higher resolution data in preparation for the underwater search phase . The Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre says the vessel will conduct operations in the area for about 12 days before sailing to Fremantle to be resupplied. Fugro Equator, which is surveying the search area, is likely to be used as a search vessel when its bathymetric work finishes later this month. More than 111,000 square kilometres of the search area has been analysed and mapped so far. A massive land and sea search has failed to find any trace of the plane. GO Phoenix, the first of the vessels contracted to conduct the underwater search, departed Jakarta, Indonesia more than a week ago, after work was done to prepare the ship for the sea and weather conditions it would encounter. Chief commissioner from the ATSB Martin Dolan says the vessel is likely to arrive late Sunday. 'When they get going, they will deploy an underwater sonar in on the end of very long cable, eight kilometres, they will tow that sonar in on a toefish, which contains sonar equipoment, close to ocean floor, 100 metres,' he said. 'They send out sonar signals, get them back, a width of about 1.5 kms, that will go up the cable to vessel and crews to look and anaylise for anything for interest.' 'It will be recorded and transferred in batches, re-anaylised so nothing to be missed.' The new stage of the search comes after months of detailed analysis and sea bed surveys, which has indicated the aircraft should be found along a defined arc in the southern Indian Ocean, where it's believed to have run out of fuel. The primary search area - dubbed the 'priority area' - is an arc 23,000 square miles (60,000 square kilometres) in size, roughly the size of Croatia, 1,120 miles (1,800km) off the Australian coast. 'Three things that make it complicated is that we know aircraft will be found there but have to prioritise high probability areas,' said Chief Dolan. 'Also towing expensive equipment, we need to know closely what the ocean floor is like, the sea floor is quite complex, not just a simple matter, additional attention is needed for some areas to cover them properly.' 'Lastly data itself requires a specialised eye to understand, so we also have the capacity to review.' The chief also mentioned the weather conditions, which can be quite challenging because it is so unpredictable. Images from the bathymetric survey being conducted in the latest MH370 search area: They provide information including the contours, depths and hardness of the ocean floor to ensure the safe and effective operation of equipment in the search . These images show remnants of volcanoes, towering ridges and deep trenches that have been discovered on the seabed of the search area named Broken Ridge, an extensive linear, mountainous sea floor structure . 'Weather is improving and the course of this month is as good as it gets, make the searching as easy as possible but still big swells, storm will come through.' Vessels will also be joining GO Phoenix including Furgo Discovery which has completed fit out works in Durban, South Africa and is en-route to Australia where it is expected to arrive in Fremantle on Sunday. Furgo Equator, the vessel currently being used to survey the search area, is expected to be mobilised as a search vessel when its bathymetric work is complete around the end of October. 'The second vessel, Furgo will be there about the end of the third week of this month, the Equator in Perth by the end of the month to do its first underwater search. This bathymetric survey image shows that the depth of the sea floor in one area of the search site is -5300 metres below sea level (purple) and then rises steeply to -2500 metres below sea level (red) Very few marine surveys have taken place in the MH370 search area. Previous mapping did not show the shape of the sea floor and only indicated ocean depth . 'It's not clear how long that search will take,' Transport Minister Warren Truss said, according to the ABC. `We would hope, obviously, to find the aircraft on the first day, but it could in fact take a year to search the entire area and weather conditions will have an impact.' The chief commissioner said there are several 'high probability' areas located that will be searched in the southern arc of the Indian Ocean. 'The second vessel will go to another high probability area and the third vessel will work between those two areas,' he said. The area being searched for MH370 has been narrowed down to a 60,000 square kilometre arc (grey) in the southern Indian Ocean, 1800km off the Australian coast . The yellow markings represent the area surveyed via bathymetric surveys . 'Until we have more solid data in flight data by boxes no one will  be able to come to form a view, people will speculate.' 'We want to givce some certainty of closure to families. The current plan is scheduled to take up to a year but we hope we won't need that.' 'There are no guarantees.' The search operation is a joint effort by Australia and Malaysia costing $57 million. There has been many theories as to what happened to the Malaysian airlines flight MH370 but there's been increased interest on the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah who reportedly used a flight simulator at his home to plot a path to a remote island.
Two search vessels have arrived in Western Australia . High-tech equipment is expected to join the search zone on Monday . The area, 1,500 kilometres off the Western Australian coast, is thought to be where Malaysian airlines flight MH370 crashed in March . GO Phoenix will run conduct operations for 12 days before returning to port for resupply . It will be joined by two other vessels in coming days . The search operation is a joint effort by Australia and Malaysia costing $57 million .

(CNN) -- Rapid-fire TV news bulletins or getting updates via social-networking tools such as Twitter could numb our sense of morality and make us indifferent to human suffering, scientists say. Scientists say updates on networking tools such as Twitter are often to quick for the brain to fully digest. New findings show that the streams of information provided by social networking sites are too fast for the brain's "moral compass" to process and could harm young people's emotional development. Before the brain can fully digest the anguish and suffering of a story, it is being bombarded by the next news bulletin or the latest Twitter update, according to a University of Southern California study. "If things are happening too fast, you may not ever fully experience emotions about other people's psychological states and that would have implications for your morality," said researcher Mary Helen Immordino-Yang. The report, published next week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Online Early Edition, studied how volunteers responded to real-life stories chosen to stimulate admiration for virtue or skill, or compassion for physical or social pain. iReport.com: Growing pains for Twitter, Facebook? Brain scans showed humans can process and respond very quickly to signs of physical pain in others, but took longer to show admiration of compassion. "For some kinds of thought, especially moral decision-making about other people's social and psychological situations, we need to allow for adequate time and refection," said Immordio-Yang. She said the study raises questions about the emotional cost, particularly for young people, of heavy reliance on a torrent of news snippets delivered via TV and online feeds such as Twitter. She said: "We need to understand how social experience shapes interactions between the body and mind, to produce citizens with a strong moral compass." USC sociologist Manuel Castells said the study raised more concerns over fast-moving TV than the online environment. "In a media culture in which violence and suffering becomes an endless show, be it in fiction or in infotainment, indifference to the vision of human suffering gradually sets in." Research leader Antonio Damasio, director of USC's Brain and Creativity Institute, said the findings stressed the need for slower delivery of the news, and highlighted the importance of slow-burn emotions like admiration. Damasio cited the example of U.S. President Barack Obama, who says he was inspired by his father, to show how admiration can be key to cultural success. "We actually separate the good from the bad in great part thanks to the feeling of admiration. It's a deep physiological reaction that's very important to define our humanity." Twitter, which allows users to swap messages and links of 140-characters or less, says on its Web site that it sees itself as a solution to information overload, rather than a cause of it. This function, it says, "means you can step in and out of the flow of information as it suits you and it never queues up with increasing demand of your attention."

Aljaz Bedene showed glimpses of the talent he could soon be parading as a British passport holder before bowing out of the Australian Open at the hands of four-time champion Novak Djokovic. The 25-year-old Slovenian is a resident of Welwyn Garden City and is awaiting the outcome of his application to become a British citizen. He was eventually swatted away by world No 1 Djokovic, who prevailed 6-3, 6-2. 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena to get his 11th campaign at Melbourne Park under way.

Bedene, who two years ago reached his career-high ranking of 71st, jumped 40 places to his current position at number 116 by reaching the recent Chennai final, where he lost to reigning Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka. And the confidence he took from that performance in India was reflected in the early proceedings as Bedene kept pace with Djokovic until the eighth game.

Slovenian-born Bedene lives in England and has applied to become a British citizen . Djokovic is congratulated by Bedene after his victory in the first round . And in swiftly closing out the set, Djokovic imposed the tempo for the rest of the contest, his tentative start soon forgotten as he raced through the second in 27 minutes and broke decisively in the fifth game of the third to move within sight of victory. A love service game completed the task for a player who despite recent illness looked sharp enough to suggest he will again be a title contender. This was Bedene's seventh appearance in the first round of a grand slam, and he has yet to win a match at the level. British tennis watchers taking a special interest in Bedene's fortunes would not be unfamiliar with such a frustrating run of results.

A hotshot doctor who disappeared after failing to show up for work was located in a small Texas city 60 miles from her home on Sunday afternoon. Dr Fehintola Omidele, 25, who goes by the nickname FT, disappeared after being seen by her family over dinner at their Houston home last Sunday night. KHOU reports that Dr Omidele phoned her sister around 1pm today to tell her she is in El Campo, Texas, and that she is safe. Scroll down for video . Found: Dr Fehintola Omidele, or 'FT', phoned her sister from El Campo, Texas, on Sunday to tell her where she was and that she was safe . The circumstances of her disappearance are not yet clear. El Campo is a city about 70 miles southwest of Houston. Her family became worried after she failed to show up for work on Monday at the Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, where she is a first-year resident. Fox News reported her family found her cell phone at her apartment in Katy, Texas, but could not locate her car or purse. An intensive search by family and friends had failed to turn up FT or her grey Toyota Camry. Dr Omidele enjoyed a glittering academic career, graduating from high school at 16 with a grade point average of 4.3, before graduating from college at the age of 20. 'She's extremely responsible, so her not showing up for work and it's been four or five days, is not like her at all,' family friend Dr Omonele Nwokolo told KHOU. Another friend, A'Lys Lawrence, told MailOnline: 'We are broken hearted and doing all that we can to bring her back home safely.' Star doctor: FT graduated from high school at 16 with a 4.3 grade point average and graduated college at 20 . Hailing from Nigeria, her family moved to New Orleans when she was eight, then to Katy, Texas, when she was 12. According to the Houston Chronicle, she graduated high school with a 4.3 grade point average - out of a possible 5.0 - at the age of 16. She was 20 when she enrolled in graduate medical school after majoring in biology and child development at the University of Texas. 'Extremely responsible': Friends claim FT's disappearance earlier this week is completely out of character . In a profile done on Dr Omidele in April, she told the Chronicle: 'I've always loved children. I'm drawn to them. Personally, I consider myself a kid at heart. In college, I worked at the child development center.' She graduated in May, when she started her three-year pediatrics placement at the Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. One day, she said, she hopes to work for the French non-governmental organization Doctors Without Borders.

(CNN) -- The author of the Sookie Stackhouse series of supernatural thrillers and inspiration for HBO's popular drama "True Blood," Charlaine Harris, is putting her eye for suspense toward an equally arresting subject: Video games. Produced for iPlay, the fruit of her labor, downloadable PC puzzler "Dying for Daylight," features an original tale starring Dahlia, a wisecracking, fashion-forward vampire hunting for a potion that lets vampires survive in sunlight. A hidden-object game designed for casual play by both women and men, it aims to bridge the gap between paperback readers and gaming fans, leveraging Harris' gift for crafting clever characters and scenarios. Now that she has contributed to one of a growing range of collaborations between the gaming and publishing industries, we asked Harris why critics haven't written the final word on interactive entertainment's potential to craft compelling narratives yet. CNN: How do video games compare to books and TV as a storytelling medium? Harris: Video games are visual like TV, but involve a certain amount of comprehension that TV often doesn't. It's a refreshing change from both books and TV, I find. CNN: What key differences are involved in writing for passive and interactive formats, e.g. novels vs. games? Harris: For me, writing books is about the progression of the characters as they change to meet circumstances on their way to the climax of the book. Games seem to have a more clearly cut goal and to require little change on the part of the character you're maneuvering through the stages of the game. Since I have discovered I'm really linear, the one step forward, one step back structure of games was at first very frustrating; you don't keep going forward but are having to go back to get this item or that item. Perhaps it's more like real life in that respect! CNN: Many authors, such as Stephen King, Harlan Ellison, Michael Crichton and James Patterson have dabbled with gaming in the past. Will we see more embracing the format going forward? Harris: I'm sure more will, simply because it's another way to publicize your books, after all. And it's a fresh and fun market for many writers; the chance to do something different is always interesting. CNN: Digital seems to be the watchword for authors these days. Do you believe games and interactive fiction, like Kindle Singles, eBooks and other virtual platforms, may someday reinvent publishing? Harris: I'm certain digital will permanently alter the publishing industry. I hope that books will not completely go by the wayside, but I fear they will. I love to hold a book in my hands, but I can't deny it's much more convenient and green to have all my books on one device and to be able to take that device with me when I travel, instead of bulky and heavy books. For that time alone, eBooks are worth it. And the same thinking applies to all the other uses. Portable is the way the world is going. CNN: Knowing this, are games becoming a better medium both artistically and commercially than typical channels such as books, essays and short stories for writers to make their mark? Harris: No, not yet. Short stories put your name in the path of the reading public, and therefore publishers. Publishers will take you much more seriously if you've had several short stories in reputable markets like magazines or anthologies. I don't know how much credence they'd put in a book proposal by a writer who'd written games, but I'm willing to believe that is mounting. I think any way you can get published is good though, as long as you're getting paid for it. I don't know if games have the power to create a career, but they certainly could add to one. CNN: What do titles like "Dying for Daylight" allow you to do that you could never accomplish with print media? Harris: I'm hoping that people who enjoy playing the game will decide to read my books, naturally. This is a chance to reach out to a whole new audience. Also, it's simply fun for me. CNN: How do you foresee the worlds of literature and gaming continuing to collide in the future? Harris: I'm sure that mystery, with its defined structure and clear goal, is a great genre for gaming. Science fiction, with its "quest" structure, also adapts well. I think more and more of the big names in those genres will come to the adventure of gaming with good ideas and I look forward to seeing that.

Unchained: Meriam Ibrahim, the mother-of-two facing the death sentence in Sudan for becoming a Christian, was released from jail today . The woman who gave birth in a Sudanese jail after she was sentenced to death for converting to Christianity has had her shackles removed, her lawyer has said. Meriam Ibrahim's chains were removed on doctor's orders after she gave birth to a daughter in jail in Khartoum's twin city of Omdurman. She was also moved from the prison cell she shared with other inmates to a prison clinic with a bed and air conditioning, her lawyer told AFP. The case of the 27-year-old mother of two sparked an international outcry when a judge sentenced her to hang last month after she was found guilty of apostasy and adultery for marrying a Christian. Born to a Muslim father, she was convicted under Islamic sharia law that has been in force in Sudan since 1983 and outlaws conversions on pain of death. She gave birth just 12 days after the verdict. It had been thought she was still shackled throughout the delivery and beyond, according to the rules which stipulate the treatment of death row inmates in Sudan. But Mohanad Mustafa, one of Ms Ibrahim's lawyers, told AFP yesterday that jailers removed the chains after she gave birth to her daughter. 'This is on order by the doctor,' he said, adding that he didn't think the shackled would be put back on again. 'After she gave birth the conditions got better,' said Mr Mustafa. 'She has air conditioning. She has a good bed,' he said after he and Ms Ibrahim's Catholic husband, Daniel Wani, visited her. 'She's fine. Usually her husband brings the food, and he gives her money' to buy any other items she needs. The couple's 20-month-old son is also in prison with Ms Ibrahim and her daughter. Mr Mustafa said that despite the relative improvement in the conditions they are being kept in, 'a prison is a prison.' Western governments and human rights groups have pressured the Sudanese to relase Ms Ibrahim. Last week, European Union leaders called for revocation of the 'inhumane verdict,' while U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry urged Khartoum to repeal its laws banning Muslims from converting. Prime Minister David Cameron said the way she has been treated 'is barbaric and has no place in today's world.' Mr Mustafa and four other human rights lawyers handling her case for free have appealed the verdict. 'We're still waiting,' and there is no word on when the higher court's decision may come, Mr Mustafa said. A church source was optimistic Ms Ibrahim would be freed because of international pressure on Sudan. 'I am hopeful that she will be released,' said the source, who asked for anonymity. But Muslim extremist groups have been also obbying the Islamist government over the case, prominent newspaper editor Khalid Tigani has said. Daniel Wani, Ms Ibrahim's Catholic husband, with their daughter: The couple's 20-month-old son is also jailed . Ms Ibrahim, born in eastern Sudan's Gedaref state on November 3, 1987, is the daughter of a Sudanese Muslim father and an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian mother, according to a statement from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Khartoum. The aid group Doctors Without Borders says an aerial bombing run over a Sudanese village hit one of its medical facilities, partially destroying a hospital. The group said Tuesday the bombing run in the southern Sudanese region of South Kordofana occurred Monday. The group said five people from the village and one Doctors Without Borders staffer were wounded. The group's head of mission, Brian Moller, said the group is shocked that its medical facility was hit, especially since it is clearly identified with a flag and a cross on the roof. He said Khartoum's government knows where the hospital is. Residents in the region say the Khartoum government has increased bombing runs in recent weeks. Sudan's military is fighting soldiers more ideologically aligned with South Sudan. Her father abandoned the family when she was five, and she was raised according to her mother's faith, it says. 'She has never been a Muslim in her life,' said the statement signed by Father Mussa Timothy Kacho, episcopal vicar for Khartoum. Miss Ibrahim joined the Catholic church shortly before she married the Mr Wani in December 2011, the vicar said. Mr Wani was born in Khartoum but is now a U.S. citizen, the U.S. embassy confirmed to AFP on Tuesday. The case against Ishag dates from 2013 when 'a group of men who claim to be Meriam's relatives' filed an initial legal action, the vicar's statement said. In fact, she had never seen those men before, the statement added, in comments confirmed by Mr Mustafa. Ms Ibrahim, who is a trained doctor, and her husband own a barber shop, a mini-mart and an agricultural project in Gedaref, the vicar said. Mr Mustafa did not know if there is a link between the businesses and the case against Ms Ibrahim, but he told AFP: 'Surely there is something behind this'. The case is the latest problem facing Sudan, an impoverished nation battling rebellions in its west and south, while more than six million people need humanitarian aid.
Meriam Ibrahim, 27, has also been moved from her cell to a prison clinic . A doctor told jailers they must unchain the mother of two, her lawyer says . Her husband, a U.S. citizen, visits her in jail to bring food and cash .

By . James Rush . Televangelist Pat Robertson has compared electronic payments and new technologies which would make cash redundant to the 'Mark of the Beast'. The television preacher warned viewers of CBN how new technologies in electronic payments could be used as a form of 'control'. Citing a passage from the Bible's book of Revelation, the television preacher warned of the 'dark side' of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. Scroll down for video . Televangelist Pat Robertson has compared electronic payments and new technologies which would make cash redundant to the 'Mark of the Beast' 'The Bible says that they cannot buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast,' he says. 'And people said, "Oh, well, that's just fanciful Hebrew rhetoric that doesn’t apply to anybody real." Who would have thought that we could live in an age that that could literally come to pass?' He later warns the audience of new technologies whereby people will no longer be required to use cash and instead carry a card which can be automatically read upon entering a store. He says: 'I hate to tell you, it's coming. Because it is a control thing. And Satan wants to control the lives of all the world. 'He wants to be God, he wants to be worshipped as God. And he wants to have control over everybody, and that's how it will be done.' He finishes the address with: 'Can't buy, can't sell without the Mark of the Beast.' Robertson warned his audience of new technologies whereby people will no longer be required to use cash and instead carry a card which can be automatically read upon entering a store . A report broadcast as part of the segment also featured Katherine Albrecht, the author of two books about RFID, who said: 'There will be a time when humanity will be forced to take a mark and that mark will be on the right hand or the forehead. It is the number 666.' Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. RFID tags are used to track animals and are inserted beneath their skin. The anti-theft hard plastic tags attached to merchandise in stores use the technology. RFID tags are used to check baggage in airports and identify trees. They are embedded in credit cards and Oyster transport cards so users can make payments by touching an electronic reader. She goes on to say: 'Some people say . RFID will be the Mark of the Beast because it can be a mark on your hand . that you can transmit. 'If . it isn't, and it may well not be, there may well be something that . comes next beyond that to fulfil that biblical prophecy, but every one . of those steps was getting us closer to that end destination.' Robertson's website allows viewers to buy his book through electronic transaction. Meanwhile viewers are also able to donate to CBN through credit cards, electronic funds transfers and cash, The Raw Story reported. In July last year Robertson told a viewer who wrote into his show about having a haunted house to burn the house down, move or perform an exorcism. 'You need to get people to come and do an exorcism over that property and command those demons to leave, that’s what you do. You take authority in the name of Jesus' he said on an episode of The 700 Club. However, several online commenters speculated that the Southern Baptist icon was being trolled by someone who submitted the question hoping he would react exactly as he did.

Aaron Schaffhausen's aunt took the stand on Monday and told the court that the killer was 'unplanned by his mom and unwanted by his dad'. Patricia Fix appeared at the trial along with Schaffhausen's mother, father and prison psychiatrist. Ms Fix also said that the family had a history of depression. Schaffhausen has admitted to killing . his three daughters - 11-year-old Amara, eight-year-old Sophie and . Cecilia, five, on July 10 last year, but claims he was not responsible . due to mental illness. Jurors will determine whether he was sane at the time of the slayings at the family's home in River Falls, Wisconsin. Aaron Schaffhausen pictured during his trial in Hudson, Wisconsin, claims he is not responsible for the murder of his three daughters due to mental illness . His father also testified during the second week of trial that Aaron was a difficult baby who did not like to be touched. Roger Schaffhausen testified that his son Aaron was a rebellious and belligerent teen who had some 'run-ins with the law'. The elder Schaffhausen says his son stole a gun, brought it to high school and was expelled. However he admitted that his son became a better person after marrying his wife Jessica and that he liked being a father to his three daughters. Roger Schaffhausen said that when his son's marriage broke down and his estranged wife began seeing someone else then he began to behave strangely and made deeply alarming remarks. According to Fox, Mr Schaffhausen senior said: 'There was one phone call received around . two o'clock in the morning. He was very despondent, depressed.

That he wanted to do terrible things to . Jess' boyfriend. He wanted to hurt the girls to show how much pain he . was in.' The murder suspect's mother Sue Allen told jurors that her son became extremely depressed when he and his wife Jessica broke up. She said that mental illness was common in other relatives. Ms Fix said that she had been deeply concerned that Schaffhausen was going to harm his daughters when he made phone calls to her. Dr Ralph Baker, a prison psychiatrist, also took the stand. He explained that while Shaffhausen was depressed, he did not appear to have a mental condition that would legally support an insanity defense. Baker says Schaffhausen told him what happened at the house was a 'spur of the moment thing'. Schaffhausen told Baker he tried to help Cecilia find her shoes, and the next thing he knew, he had his hands on her neck and was strangling her before then slitting his three daughters' throats. Charged: Aaron Schaffhausen, 34, of Minot, North Dakota, faces three counts of first-degree intentional homicide - each a mandatory life sentence if convicted for stabbing his three daughters to death .

HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- When Sean Dolan saw signs being carried by homeless people, he saw an opportunity. Timothy Edwards was homeless for years in Houston, Texas, until he started carrying "Pimp This Bum" signs. He and his father wanted to drive people to a Web site, so they created PimpThisBum.com as a marketing tool and gave a homeless man a sign with the Web site's address to hold while panhandling in Houston. Their idea worked. Visitors seeing the sign flocked to the site and in less than two months Dolan received $50,000 in donations and pledges through the site for the man, including a five-week alcohol treatment program donated by Sunray Treatment and Recovery based near Seattle, Washington. Watch how 'Pimp this bum' saved man » . "We knew that the same campaign with a sincere appeal and a Web site like helpthehomeless.com would be ignored," he said. "We knew that if we insulted people's sensitivity or appealed to their humor ­ on a subject as sensitive as this we would get their attention." Kevin Dolan, with more than two decades of marketing and sales experience and his son, Sean, a Web-savvy college student with a small video camera and a passion for volunteer work, got the site off the ground with the help of Timothy Dale Edwards. He has been homeless and living under a busy Houston overpass for more than four years. The Dolans' offer to Timothy Edwards would be a hard one for any homeless person to refuse: $100 cash per day guaranteed, perhaps even more if the campaign was successful. All Edwards had to do was carry a homemade sign advertising "www.PimpThisBum.com" while he panhandled each day. For Edwards and his friends it was effortless -- they already carried signs reading, "Homeless, Please help" or "Hungry, Need a days work." Watch Edwards describe "I went through detox" » . And the Dolans promised monetary donations that came into the Web site would go straight to Edwards. Those who visit can help Edwards directly by donating specific items to him: a cup of coffee, a ham sandwich, a razor, a newspaper subscription or even laser hair removal, karate lessons or a college education. Edwards welcomes the task and insists he is not being exploited. For him, the donations are a welcome change in his life. For years drugs and alcohol were his coping mechanisms, he says. He was told his father left the family when he was only 2 years old, and he says he's always felt no one ever cared about him. But all that changed with the Dolans' offer. "This is just crazy enough to work," Edwards said. "I'm drinking myself to death under a bridge. I'm watching my friends die left and right, so what have I got to lose?" Edwards said he has spent years learning whom to trust and how to survive on the street. He's learned where it's safe to sleep and how to panhandle when intersections "are hittin'." Edwards sometimes rides the city bus just to stay warm and gathers a group of homeless friends together to rent a motel room just to be able to take a shower. He says homeless life is "boring, and ... mentally unstimulating," and he looks for ways to keep his brain "active." "I try to read the paper. One lady came by and asked me if we needed something, so I said, 'Well, do you have a puzzle book?' Because we do crossword puzzles and Sudoku." Edwards said. Looking back on how he got to this point is difficult. "It's a pretty drawn-out story. I'd have to say it's probably mostly my fault. ... I made a lot of poor choices," Edwards said, his voice trailing. "I was filthy. I just didn't feel human anymore." With this new project, Edwards' said, his life has new meaning. The name of the Web site means little to him. The Dolans have received national attention for their first collaboration, but they also know the site's name is controversial. Edwards said he "cracked up" when Sean Dolan proposed the name for the Web site. Not everyone thinks it's funny. Homeless advocates and other critics argue the Dolans' project serves little more purpose than exploitation. Advocate Michael Faenva, who runs a shelter in Dallas, said, "In the end, this isn't a good strategy to address the problem of homelessness. ... It's not a strategy that's likely to bring help to very many." Life has changed for Edwards since he began holding that sign. His first step was to shave his beard, mustache and head. The act "was a symbolic act of change, and embracing the change and moving on to a new stage in my life," Edwards said. His last drink was on March 10, before flying to Seattle accompanied by Sean Dolan to begin the comprehensive alcohol treatment program. He has completed the one-week "detox" program, and is now participating in five additional weeks of individual and group therapy classes. "To everybody that thinks I am being exploited, I ask you to think again," Edwards said. Sean Dolan is adamant: "Tim is now a friend." He describes the relationship as "one of the most meaningful friendships I've ever had." Asked what does he say to the critics? "I tell them to donate ... and get on the Web ... just watch the outflow of support for Tim." Edwards spends his rehab "free time" each night participating in the Web site's chat room, which is full of supportive messages like, "We love u Tim!," "Hang in there," and "Stay strong, people really do care." Edwards has started a live nightly Webcast where he answers questions and thanks viewers for their interest and support. "Rehab is a wonderful thing when you want it," Edwards told CNN during a Webcast. But it's also a lot of work. "The hard part is the mental and psychological stuff, rediscovering myself, so to speak, getting in touch with my heart and my head, and trying to figure out how to deal with life." Edwards also is getting a crash course on the Internet and hopes it will help him in applying for jobs. Edwards' newfound Internet outlet also gave him another surprise twist. One of the site's viewers happened to be a family member Edwards never knew. After being put in touch through the Web site's creators, Edwards learned that his father had not left the family as he thought, but instead had been searching for him for almost 35 years. Edwards said he is learning more about that side of the family, and family members near Kansas City, Missouri, have become involved in looking for new opportunities and living assistance for him when he leaves Seattle. Kevin Dolan said the project has not only opened new doors for Edwards but also for others like him. The Dolans recently started financial paperwork to create a nonprofit organization, and they hope to duplicate the "PimpThisBum.com" model in other cities. Two future "participants" have already been identified in Houston; one of them is a good friend of Edwards' named John. On March 28, Edwards will spend his 38th birthday in rehab. He calls the Dolans' project "a blessing." He hopes to complete his treatment successfully, secure a job and find a home. "I'm tired of laying down," he said. "I'm tired of giving up. ... This life is worth fighting for."

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 11:14 EST, 11 December 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 12:39 EST, 11 December 2013 . Andrew Kearns has lost his damages action for wrongful dismissal against Glencore UK Ltd . An oil trader sacked because he was said to be not in a fit state after a heavy night out in Singapore has lost his damages action for wrongful dismissal. Andrew Kearns, 38, was employed by Glencore UK Ltd from January 2009 until October 2010, when he was summarily dismissed for serious misconduct after missing a series of meetings on the business trip. Contesting the action at London’s High Court, Glencore said he failed to attend critical meetings in the morning, at lunchtime and in the afternoon of October 11 and it was the latest in a series of alcohol-related incidents. Mr Kearns agreed that he was out until 4.30am drinking with colleagues, but said it was not to greater excess than anyone else and the business meetings later that day did not require his compulsory attendance. Mr Kearns, of Rainham, Gillingham, Kent, received a signing-on bonus the equivalent of 325,000 US dollars (current value £202,000) when he joined the company and was on an annual salary of 225,000 US dollars (£140,000) plus other benefits. Mr Kearns, a married father of three, was not in court to hear Judge Richard Seymour QC make a costs order against him on the higher indemnity basis, with an interim payment due of £150,000. He said: 'This claim was ludicrous - it should never have been advanced.' At the start of the trial, the judge threw out the most valuable part of the claim - in respect of share options - as 'hopeless', leaving only the wrongful dismissal element which was worth £12,000 maximum. 'In those circumstances, this is about as abnormal a case of this type that one could imagine. There was no conceivable justification for any claim being made at any point.' Glencore’s counsel, Jonathan Cohen, had told the court that 'context is everything'. 'This is an industry where a mistaken decimal point might result in losses of a very substantial nature. An employer cannot be expected to allow an employee who allows himself to become inappropriately inebriated to remain in the workplace.' Asking for his client's costs today, Mr Cohen said: 'Mr Kearns was dishonest in his evidence. He sought to deny the inevitable. Mr Kearns was habitually drunk and that was the reason he so egregiously failed to perform the duties required of him. 'It was in Mr Kearns’s power to remedy his behaviour. When he went on that conference, he could have chosen not to go out until the early hours and get drunk and to turn up to the meetings he was required to, but he chose not to do that.' Contesting the action at London's High Court, Glencore said he failed to attend critical meetings and it was the latest in a series of alcohol-related incidents . He said that Glencore had made an offer to Mr Kearns earlier for him to discontinue the case, with each side paying its own costs. A relevant factor was Mr Kearns’s failure to accept the help Glencore offered, involving a doctor and a consultant who was a world expert on drug and alcohol addiction. Instead, he spent the next afternoon, when he should have been at work, in the pub. Mr Kearns, a married father of three, was not in court to hear Judge Richard Seymour QC make a costs order against him on the higher indemnity basis, with an interim payment due of £150,000 . 'This was a slap in the face for Glencore. This litigation is a slap in the face for Glencore. 'Mr Kearns has lost his job because of his own behaviour, his own very bad behaviour. 'Glencore did everything they could to help him during the employment until they got to the end of their tether. The tether would have been considerably shorter with the majority of employers. His dismissal was richly justified. 'Notwithstanding that, Glencore has then been forced to spend the best part of £400,000 defending a hopeless claim brought by someone who does not realise how tolerant Glencore were and how much they did to help.' Mr Cohen said that Mr Kearns’s absence record was 'appalling', being late or absent for at least 20 per cent of his service in London. His non-attendance at the conference was the final straw and he found himself between a rock and a hard place. Glencore’s case was that he was too drunk to attend while Mr Kearns’s was that he was not drunk, but stayed in bed as he had consumed too much and deliberately chose not to attend at least one of the meetings. Either way he was in repudiatory breach of contract. In his ruling, the judge said that Mr Kearns was an unsatisfactory witness, inclined to contest what, on the evidence, could not seriously be contested and to minimise the extent of his alcohol consumption and its consequences. He took no steps to limit his consumption or seek help but simply continued on his existing path, paying no regard to the adverse effects for Glencore. His approach could be summarised as 'doing it his way'. 'If, which I doubt, Mr Kearns did not simply sleep through the meetings which he missed, but consciously decided not to attend them, that in itself amounted to repudiatory breach of the contract which Glencore was entitled to accept by dismissing him summarily.'

(CNN) -- Shiping Bao, the medical examiner who changed his mind on crucial aspects during his testimony at George Zimmerman's trial, has been fired. But he's not going down without a fight. Bao has hired a lawyer and is hinting at a lawsuit.

(CNN) -- French President Francois Hollande will travel to Mali on Saturday, where his nation's troops have been battling Islamist militants for three weeks alongside African forces. Hollande will be accompanied by his defense and foreign ministers, the president's office said in a statement Friday. In addition to major cities, he will also visit the historical city of Timbuktu, which French and Malian troops seized from militants who had controlled it since last year. His office did not provide any other details. The visit comes as troops make major gains in the battle to push out militants in northern Mali. France, Mali's former colonial power, is leading the offensive after militants captured the vast northern desert region, raising fears they would turn it into a haven for terrorists. French-led troops now control the cities of Timbuktu and Gao, along with a swath in between that was an Islamist stronghold for almost a year, the French Defense Ministry said. France sent troops at Mali's request after Islamists seized the strategic town of Konna on January 10. The town is now back in Malian control. Islamic extremists carved out a large portion of the north last year, taking advantage of a chaotic situation after a military coup. They banned music, smoking, drinking and watching sports on television, and destroyed historic tombs and shrines in the region. But with the French-led offensive sending the militants on the run, residents are once again roaming the streets without fear. France has 2,150 soldiers in Mali and 1,000 more troops supporting the operation from elsewhere. West African forces are expected to battle the militants alongside French troops. NATO said it does not plan to join the offensive. "The United Nations Security Council has decided that it should be an African-led mission," said Anders Fogh Rasmussen, the NATO secretary-general. "And this is also a reason why I don't see a role for NATO as an organization in Mali or in the region. But obviously, I welcome that individual NATO allies have taken action and decided to support the French operation in Mali." Malian interim President Dioncounda Traore has said his nation will hold elections by the end of July. CNN's Sarah Jones contributed to this report.

His friends admit that Abdullah Elmir, 17, who this week gained notoriety through his ISIS backed video rant against western society, was 'expected' to run away to the Middle East. 'Some expected it, like he used to talk about it a bit,' a friend told Daily Mail Australia. Distraught classmates from Condell Park High School, in Sydney's south-west, painted a picture of a complex young man on Thursday, describing him as both 'very quiet' and someone who 'enjoyed politicking'. Scroll down for video . Abu Khaled from Australia, thought to be Abdullah Elmir, speaks flanked by other ISIS fighters in the latest ISIS propaganda video . Distraught classmates from Condell Park High School, in Sydney's south-west, painted a picture of a complex young man on Thursday, describing him as both 'very quiet' while also someone who 'enjoyed politicking' In the YouTube video, Elmir, who now goes by the moniker Abu Khaled, declares that ISIS will not stop their murderous campaign 'until the black flag is flying high in every single land'. Australian security agencies are analysing the vision to determine whether a bearded man to Elmir's right is Mohamed Elomar, (one of the country's most wanted) the ISIS recruit believed responsible for radicalising and luring dozens of Australians to take up arms in the Middle East. While most of his best mates either closed ranks behind him or were too upset to speak, one of his childhood friends admitted to being in a state of shock. 'Yeah man, he's my friend and I don't want to talk about him,' he told Daily Mail Australia. 'He was my mate but I don't talk about him'. But the teenage terrorist was described by another classmate as being 'very quiet, he was a good kid, we used to pray together at our mosque'. While most of his closest mates either closed ranks behind him or were too upset to speak, one of his childhood friends admitted to being in a state of shock . 'He did a little bit of debating here, he liked knowing politics and did some politicking but he was mostly very quiet and never, ever got into trouble,' he said. 'Abdullah was in theatre groups at school and he liked playing basketball a lot.' When asked if he was one of those who thought Abdullah was capable of running away, he added 'no, no I didn't expect that but I know a few of his other friends say they heard him mention it'. Professor Greg Barton, from Monash University's Global Terrorism Research Centre, said Elmir was recruited by another wanted terrorist, Mohammad Ali Baryalei, an Australian based in Syria. He said terror recruiters lured targets by making friends through social media, like many sexual predators. He said the boy appeared as a 'pawn in the machine' in the chilling video. 'He thinks he's the star ... but the reality is, his new friends have got him a one-way ticket,' Professor Barton said. 'He's not in charge of his own destiny at all, he's being used.' Professor Barton added that young people were the easiest to radicalise. Bearded ISIS fighters, holding rifles, flank the Australian jihadi as he preaches hate . 'Teenagers, 20-somethings, particularly young men more than young women, are vulnerable to making rash judgments,' he said. 'They tend to be more rebellious toward [older] generations and sceptical of establishment figures.' It is believed former Kings Cross bouncer Baryalei, 33, recruited Elmir through western Sydney street preaching group Parramatta Street Dawah. 'He's said to have recruited 30 plus young people - mostly in western Sydney through Street Dawah,' Prof Barton said. Before Elmir joined ISIS, the ginger jihad was employed as a butcher in a shop in Bankstown, The Daily Telegraph. 'He made his own bed now he has to lie in it,' his former boss said. 'He was a good kid. The best kid.' Elmir's boss was furious when the 17-year-old called in sick, the same day Elmir reportedly told his mother that he was 'going fishing' and disappeared from his Bankstown home in Sydney's south-west, in June. Elmir and his friend Feiz are believed to have made their way to Syria and Iraq after crossing the border from Turkey, where they were last known to have contacted family members. They travelled via Perth, with stops in Malaysia and Thailand. Titled 'Message Of The Mujahid 4', the 1.43 minutes long video is full of threats against the west . As Elmir finishes his diatribe the men all cheer and chant in Arabic . Elmir begins the video by saying 'this message I deliver to you the people of America, this message I deliver to you the people of Britain and this message I deliver especially to you the people of Australia'. Titled 'Message Of The Mujahid 4', the video which is 1.43 minutes long is full of heavily worded threats and taunts the US-led coalition that recently began air strikes on ISIS targets in Syria and Iraq. 'I say this about your coalition: you threaten us with your countries, bring every nation that you wish to us, bring every nation that you want to come and fight us. Whether it's 50 nations or 50 thousand nations it means nothing to us,' Elmir says. Reading from a script, a black and white scarf wrapped around his head and a huge rifle in his hand, he warns: 'Bring your planes bring everything you want to use because it will not harm us because we have Allah which is something you do not have.' Australian terrorist Khaled Sharrouf is wanted by the Federal Police for his activities in Syria . Former Sydney boxer Mohamed Elomar posted photos of himself holding up decapitated heads on Twitter . A spokesman for Prime Minister Tony Abbott said: 'This video again highlights the threat posed by ISIL.' 'As the Prime Minister has said on many occasions, ISIL is a threat that reaches out to Australia and our allies and partners.' Elmir's family told the Sydney Morning Herald in June they were devastated their son had been 'brainwashed'. His family's lawyer Zali Burrows told the Australian Associated Press: 'The family went to the media today as a plea to the government to bring their boy back. 'We know they have the intelligence to pinpoint him. 'The concern is that he's being used as a tracking device to gather further intelligence, to see where he's actually going to go.' Ms Burrows questioned how Elmir was not stopped by Federal Police, who were thought to be monitoring him. On Sunday, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop announced Australia will send its special forces into Iraq to fight against Islamic State. Elmir's video was published one day after the announcement.
Schoolmates at Condell Park High School close ranks around their mate Abdullah Elmir . Some admit they feared he would run away to ISIS 'because he would sometimes talk about it a bit' Abdullah liked 'politicking' and played regular games of basketball with his mates . Elmir 'was a quiet kid and never got in trouble' who enjoyed debating and the theatre . The 17-year-old terrorist appeared in a YouTube video rant against western society .

'Just like the British tourists who get as drunk as pigs in Sunny Beach' and 'the British who come to Bulgaria and think that they are the masters and the local Aboriginal population must fulfill their desire. 'British people coming to buy property in Bulgaria should be given a hostile reception. Russians should be given visa exemption for Bulgaria but, in turn, Sofia should require visa applications from British people,' he added. Officially, there are 42,000 Bulgarians in the UK, but unofficially it could be up to 80,000. There are also thought to be 93,000 Romanians already here. In Germany there are more than 90,000 Bulgarians and 159,000 Romanians. They are not allowed to work legally until January 1, as in Britain. But they can stay under EU rules if they declare themselves to be ‘self-employed’.

England captain Steven Gerrard is at the centre of the escalating row between Nike and adidas over the leisure kit being worn by the players in Brazil. Adidas are taking action over the way Nike have been allowed by the FA to deck the England squad in their gear with little or no FA branding, in addition to the official supply items for on and off the pitch. This has meant Gerrard and the other adidas ambassadors in the England camp - Leighton Baines, Gary Cahill, Luke Shaw, Phil Jagielka, Frank Lampard and Ricky Lambert - being photographed with only Nike logos visible, much to adidas’s considerable annoyance. VIDEO Scroll down for Sportsmail's Neil Ashton and Charles Sale's England verdict . Mix and match: Steven Gerrard wearing a Nike tracksuit top and shorts with Adidas trainers when England were in Miami prior to the World Cup . Caught in the middle: Steven Gerrard is at the centre of an escalating row between Nike and adidas . Not impressed: Adidas are taking action over the way Nike have been allowed by the FA to deck the England squad in their gear with little or no FA branding . Adidas have informed the FA and their sponsored players that they will be in breach of contract if they wear any Nike apparel that doesn’t also showcase the Three Lions branding. The FA, who are revamping their commercial operation, are relaxed about Nike’s ambush  tactics but it puts Gerrard in particular in a tricky position when he wants to concentrate on the football. ........................................................................................................ During a World Cup in which the BBC have fielded their first ever all-black panel - Thierry Henry, Rio Ferdinand and Clarence Seedorf - at a major championship as part of a welcome diversity push, the FA parted company with Noel Blake, national coach for seven years and one of the few elite black coaches in the game. The split hasn’t gone unnoticed by the FA inclusion board charged with overseeing the campaign to increase the number of black managers and coaches in the game. Minister for Sport Helen Grant said in Sao Paulo on Thursday: ‘I do want to see much more done across football.’ Sir Tim Rice, who is far more likely to be seen at Lord’s watching the cricket, saw his first England football away match for 51 years in Manaus. The last time Sir Tim saw England play abroad was in 1963 while he was a student in Paris. He was invited to  England’s World Cup opener after bringing his Lion King show to Sao Paulo. ............................................................................. Michael Garcia, the New York attorney leading the inquiry into the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, has bizarrely been asking about receipts from the 24 Mulberry handbags doled out as gifts by England’s doomed 2018 bid. If Garcia wants to see the bags, all of which were returned, they are still gathering dust in a Wembley cupboard. BT CALL UP SPECIAL ONE . Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, who already has ambassador roles with Hublot, Yahoo, Jaguar and the United Nations World Food  Programme, has started talks with BT Sport about representing them as well. BT see Mourinho as their response to Sky  having David Beckham as their £4m-a-year ambassador, although Jose is expected to be cheaper for BT, who are also making overtures to Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of their Champions League coverage that starts in 2015-16. Mourinho used to be a Sky ambassador, describing their 2009 football coverage as ‘special’. Call up: Jose Mourinho, who already has an ambassador role with Yahoo, has started talks with BT . Phil Neville is not the only BBC co-commentator who has attracted criticism from inside the Corporation. Danny Murphy’s description of a Chile defender bringing down Spain’s Fernando Torres to preserve the lead as a ‘good foul’ brought immediate disapproval from Jeremy Vine on Twitter. There is still no plan for how the £180m Manaus stadium will be used after the World Cup, with no club in the region big enough for its 42,000-capacity arena. An Amazon state judge suggested it be turned into a detention centre to ease prison overcrowding. But security isn’t a Brazilian strongpoint, as the mass Chilean fan break-in at the Maracana suggests. Criticism: Danny Murphy's use of the term a 'good foul' brought immediate disapproval from Jeremy Vine . They may fancifully claim that 46million tuned into beIN Sports’ English language coverage of the England v Italy game. But the only way Qatar presenter Richard Keys and his similarly forgotten sidekick Andy Gray can create even a ripple of interest about themselves is to have a go at your  Sports Agenda columnist on their hopeless World Cup Diary video on successive days.

Rome (CNN) -- A former Vatican ambassador to the Dominican Republic has been found guilty of sexual abuse of minors by a Vatican tribunal and defrocked, the Vatican said in a statement Friday. Jozef Wesolowski was accused of sexual abuse of minors while serving in the Caribbean nation, the statement said. The Polish archbishop is believed to be one of the highest-ranking Vatican officials to be dismissed from the clergy for sexual abuse. Wesolowski has the right to appeal against the tribunal's finding and sentence within two months. Once the canonical process has been concluded, he will then be tried by Vatican judicial authorities, according to the Vatican statement. A report by the U.N. Committee Against Torture in May cited Wesolowski's case, noting that Poland had reportedly asked for the archbishop's extradition. It urged the Holy See to "proceed to a prompt and impartial investigation of Archbishop Wesolowski" and anyone else accused of violating the U.N. Convention Against Torture. If necessary, the Holy See "should ensure such persons are criminally prosecuted or extradited for prosecution by the civil authorities" of another state, it said. The U.N. panel asked to be informed of the outcome of the investigation into Wesolowski. In a statement issued following the report, the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, urged Polish bishops and Catholics to contact Pope Francis and "insist that he send Wesolowski back to face secular justice in Poland." Francis last month spoke out against sexual abuse by Catholic clergy and said he would meet with victims. A priest who abuses a child betrays the body of the Lord, the Pope told reporters, as he called for zero tolerance. "This is very serious," he said. "It is like, by way of comparison, holding a black Mass. You are supposed to lead them to sanctity and instead you lead them to a problem that will last their entire lives." CNN's Hada Messia reported from Rome, and Laura Smith-Spark wrote in London.

By . Sadie Whitelocks . PUBLISHED: . 10:23 EST, 28 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 13:01 EST, 28 August 2013 . A national champion athlete, who became obese after a knee injury ended her career, has managed to lose almost half her body weight with the help of the TV series Extreme Weight Loss. Cassandra Dumas, 45, from California, explained during last night's episode that a divorce also added to her problems and decades of comfort eating saw her tip the scales at 364pounds. 'No one would ever guess that this body is a national champion. I let my body get this way, I got out of control,' the former discus and shot put star said, adding that she'd also turned into a recluse. Getting in shape: Former champion athlete, Cassandra Dumas, who became obese after a knee injury ended her career, has managed to shed almost half her body weight with the help of ABC's Extreme Weight Loss . Video source ABC . 'I don’t venture out like I used to. I come home and I cook dinner. Generally I don't eat at the dining room table, I usually fix my plate and I come to my bedroom. I didn’t think I’d be in this situation.' In a bid to get into shape she sent a letter to Chris Powell, Extreme Weight Loss' fitness trainer, asking for his help. After being accepted on to the show, she was given one year to turn her life around and ditch her unhealthy habits. Flashback: Ms Dumas demonstrates her shot put skills in a magazine - she was forced to give up her sporting career after a knee injury . From sports star to stationary: When Ms Dumas went off to college she stopped sports all together and the weight gradually piled on . Mr Powell encouraged her to take up exercise again, instead of sitting fixed to the TV and computer screen. 'I've always felt I could do anything I put my mind to, but I've always put others first. This year, I'm putting myself first' He also sent her to a nutritionist to get advice on meal plans. Apparently condiments were one of her guilty pleasures, and she would put spoonfuls of mayonnaise or ketchup on her dinners adding up to 400 calories each time. Giving her greater impetus to slim down a full medical examination revealed that she suffered from  sleep apnea. Unhealthy habits: Old pictures show how the former athlete's body ballooned during her twenties . The disorder, characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep, can cause fatigue and increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, obesity, and diabetes. 'I don't venture out like I used to. I come home and I cook dinner. I didn't think I'd be in this situation' 'I let my body get this way . . .  and I’m going to fix this,' Ms Dumas said determinedly. Asked where she would like to be in one year, she told Mr Powell: 'I want to lose weight and I want to eventually meet the person I’ll spend a lifetime with.' She said that she never wanted to be a divorcee and looked to her parents' 50-year-marriage as inspiration. However, her past relationship was plagued by trust issues. Breaking a sweat: For the first time in years Ms Dumas started working out . Learning the ropes: Extreme Weight Loss fitness trainer Chris Powell showed her simple exercises she could do to get her fitness back on track . As the year went on the former athlete, who now works as a high school guidance counselor, found that her confidence started to return. Instead of hiding away she tried speed dating and even went on a singles adventure trip. 'I’ve always felt I could do anything I put my mind to, but I’ve always put others first.

(CNN) -- Advancing Sudanese troops have prompted a massive evacuation by inhabitants of the oil-rich city of Abyei, a humanitarian medical group said Monday. The organization, Doctors Without Borders, said many of the evacuees have fled 40 kilometers (24 miles) south to Agok. That includes 42 people wounded in violent clashes over the weekend who are being treated at the aid group's hospital there. "This morning, the entire population of Abyei town fled the city, which is now almost empty," the organization said in a statement. Meanwhile, a spokesman for the military wing of the movement that governs Southern Sudan confirmed Sunday that Sudan's military had taken control of the oil-rich region. "Abyei has been under attack by the Sudanese armed forces from air and ground," said Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) spokesman Philip Aguer. Southern Sudan in January voted to split from the north, and is expected to officially become an independent nation in July. However, the fate of the oil-rich Abyei region remains a flash point. The Sudanese armed forces said the military in Southern Sudan was behind the attack, but the SPLA denied responsibility. A statement from U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's press office noted that the U.N. compound was shelled by mortar rounds, leaving two peacekeepers injured. The release, from Ban, also asked for "justice" following earlier attacks May 19 on a U.N.-escorted convoy and on U.N. troops May 10 in Goli. At least 22 people were killed in the more recent attack, which was on Sudanese armed forces and U.N. peacekeepers, according to Sudanese army sources. "The Secretary-General remains deeply concerned for the safety of the civilian population of the area, the vast majority of whom (have) been forcibly displaced due to the fighting," the U.N. statement said Sunday. "The Secretary-General calls on both parties to immediately cease their military operations, withdraw all forces and armed elements from Abyei and desist from further acts of antagonism." The Commission of the African Union responded to the latest developments in Abyei "with very grave concern," according to a prepared statement released Sunday. "The AU Commission would like to urge all the parties to immediately withdraw all the unauthorized forces from the area ... and to restrain from any provocative actions," the statement read. "The AU Commission calls on the parties to resume the dialogue towards a political settlement on Abyei by returning to the negotiating table." Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir issued a decree Saturday dissolving Abyei's administration. The area had been governed by representatives from the north and south. The United Nations said this month that violence in the Abyei region will jeopardize relations between the two sides as they gear up for a permanent separation July 9. Its peacekeeping mission in Sudan issued a statement Saturday urging "all parties in Abyei to resume dialogue towards reaching a lasting political settlement." British Foreign Secretary William Hague condemned the recent spike in violence. "I call on all sides to cease hostilities immediately. All unauthorized forces should be withdrawn from the entire area of Abyei in accordance with past agreements by the parties," he said in a statement Sunday. In a statement Saturday, the White House called on the Sudanese Armed Forces to stop its offensive in Abyei and withdraw forces. "Failure to do so could set back the process of normalizing relations between Sudan and the United States and inhibit the international community's ability to move forward on issues critical to Sudan's future," the statement said. A U.N. Security Council delegation had arrived in Khartoum, Sudan, on Saturday to discuss the ongoing peace process with government officials. Journalist Ismail Kushkush contributed to this report.

By . Mailonline Reporter . Ian Burlakoff stretched out on the ground as Officer Robert Cohen pointed a rifle at him, telling the murder suspect not to move. The Florida father of two had just killed his 37-year-old wife Gemma execution style with two shots of his 9mm semi-automatic pistol — the same gun he now had in his waistband as the Boca Raton police officer tried to gain control of the situation. Still lying flat on his stomach, Burlakoff looked up at Officer Cohen and shot him a chilling question: 'Where's your backup?' Then, as a stunned crowd looked on, he began reaching for his pistol and uttered his final words: 'Just kill me.' Officer Cohen fired eight times — striking Burlakoff four times in the chest, back and arm. Ian, 42, was killed instantly. The October 2013 shooting marked the tragic end of the troubled eight-year marriage of the Burlakoffs, the doting parents of four young girls and a popular couple in the luxury resort The Oaks, where they owned a $2 million home. Detectives this week revealed to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel details of the couple's final day, which began with a family day at a beach club — but ended in Gemma's killing and Ian's suicide by police. Florida couple Ian and Gemma Burlakoff appeared to have it all, but they were engulfed in domestic crisis - from a contentious divorce to their $2 million being in the brink of repossession - that ended in a murder and suicide by cop on Oct. 20, 2013 . The couple had spent that Sunday in 2013 with three of their daughters and another family at the Boca Beach Club, the Sun-Sentinel reported. Halfway through the day, the couple got into a heated argument. It was perhaps their worst fight since Gemma filed for divorce three months earlier. Each side fired off accusations of cheating and overspending. Gemma said in court that Ian wasn't taking medication for his bipolar disorder. That Sunday, an upset Ian picked up two of his daughters, 5 and 7, and walked with them down Ocean Boulevard. Onlookers told authorities the girls appeared to be trying to free themselves as the dad wrapped his arms around them. A few minutes later, Gemma and the couple's friends showed up in an SUV. The wife confronted Ian, giving the girls just enough time to run into the car. The couple continued to argue in the street. One witness said she saw Ian push Gemma to the ground and pull a gun from his pocket. As the witness drove away, she heard the gun shots — two quick bursts from the 9mm pistol. A jogger, who at first thought he'd heard fireworks, walked by and saw Ian still with his gun in hand — his dead wife on the ground. 'Get out of here!' Ian told the man, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The jogger crossed the street, where another witness was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher. Soon they'd watch in horror as Officer Cohen granted Ian's death wish. 'He could have waited where he was and complied with the officer's direction,' an investigator wrote, according to the documents revealed by the Sun-Sentinel. 'He would have survived if he had done so, but he must have known he would be arrested for the murder of his wife, spend the rest of his life in prison and live with the guilt of what he did to his young children.' The Burlakoffs owed between $1.4 million and $1.8 million on their home at the luxury 'The Oaks' resort in Boca Raton and the house was set to be sold at auction if it wasn't paid off in a few months . In court, Gemma Burlakoff said her husband had refused to support their children since she filed for divorce in July 2013. She . said he refused to pay the mortgage, and threatened to shut the home’s . power off if she continued having her mother to the house. She told her family that everything was fine in the days before her shooting death, but relatives said the husband had a gambling habit. Ian Burlakoff had accused his wife of 'outrageous shopping sprees' during which she would purchase hundreds of pairs of shoes costing upward of $1,000 per pair. Records also show she liked pricey . purses too, once spending more than $5,000 for a handbag.

(CNN) -- In a decision that sidesteps a major shift in labor policy, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that Illinois can't force home health care workers to pay dues to unions. The narrow 5-4 ruling applies most directly to the Illinois home care providers who challenged a state decision to classify them as public employees and require them to pay fees to a union. But it also deals a blow to union efforts nationwide to extend their reach in an era of declining membership and political influence. "These home workers share a lot of attributes of the new emerging work force, and for unions, it's a big blow because that was their growth area," George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley said. "And it's going to be very difficult now to extend these contracts to get those types of dues." Still, the ruling was not as broad as many union activists had feared, falling well short of what some had predicted would be a vote to gut a 37-year-old Supreme Court decision allowing for what's known in labor circles as the agency shop system. Read the ruling (PDF) Instead, the court created a new category of "partial public employees" who can't be compelled to pay into the union system. "A narrow decision, a loss for the unions but not as catastrophic as many labor union people had feared," said CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin. The ruling stems from a decision by Illinois lawmakers to classify home health care workers paid by Medicaid as state employees and require them to pay fees to the Service Employees International Union. The union exclusively bargains with the state over wages, hours and working conditions. The employees, most of whom were hired by individual patients and reimbursed through Medicaid, argued that they were being forced to subsidize the union's efforts in violation of constitutional rights of free speech and free association. State officials argued that mandatory union representation increased wages and benefits, reduced employee turnover and improved training and supervision. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the conservative majority, said the practice was a clear violation of the First Amendment. "If we accepted Illinois' argument, we would approve an unprecedented violation of the bedrock principle that, except perhaps in the rarest of circumstances, no person in this country may be compelled to subsidize speech by a third party that he or she does not wish to support," Alito wrote. Justice Elena Kagan wrote in her dissent that in terms of the 1977 ruling that allowed agency shops, there was no difference between the home health workers and more traditional state employees. Labor union allies picked up on that line of reasoning. "The Supreme Court's ruling is a serious concern for workers' rights across the country -- employees whose job qualifications, evaluations, salaries, work hours, training, and wages are all controlled by the state are, in every sense of the word, public sector employees," Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, said in a statement. "Failure to recognize this fact, and to provide the collective bargaining rights that go along with it, will harm workers and families across the country," Carey said. The union involved in the case, the Service Employees International Union, said in a statement that the ruling "places at risk a system of consumer-directed home care in Illinois that has proven successful in raising wages, providing affordable health care benefits, and increasing training." But union President Mary Kay Henry said the effort to unionize workers would continue. "No court case is going to stand in the way of home care workers coming together to have a strong voice for good jobs and quality home care," she said. Fordham University law professor James Brudney said the ruling "strikes a blow against efforts to address the serious problem of income inequality in this country." "Home care employees are among our lowest-paid workers, and this decision will make it harder for them to come together to improve conditions." The conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute, however, celebrated the ruling as a major victory. "This decision delivers a major blow to the coercive powers of government unions," institute policy analyst Trey Kovacs said in a statement. "The ruling frees thousands of home care and child care providers from financially assisting government unions that they disagree with." CNN's Michael Pearson reported and wrote from Atlanta; Bill Mears reported and wrote from Washington.

For months archaeologists have speculated about who lies within an ancient burial mound in northern Greece. Now analysis of the skeleton discovered in an underground vault has revealed that the person who was buried there was male and was probably an important general. He was of medium height with pale skin and brown or red hair, they said, suggesting that the remains could could well belong to blue-eyed king. Analysis of the skeleton discovered in an underground vault has revealed the man buried there was of medium height, with pale skin and brown or red hair (illustrated) Alexander the Great was reputed to have had blue eyes and golden or red hair. Further examination of the remains are expected to confirm that the man originated in the Thrace region in north east Greece, according to The Greek Reporter. Skeletal remains show the man buried in the Amphipolis tomb was of medium height with pale skin and brown or red hair. He must have been of high social status, based on his opulent final surroundings. Archaeologists say he was probably an important general, although because the tomb was looted in antiquity, no shield or sword have been found, which were typically buried with Macedonian warriors. Experts are studying the bones to reveal what the man died of and what he ate. Last week, Greece's culture ministry said the opulence of the tomb indicates that a 'distinguished public figure' was buried there. One contemporaneous account says his hair was 'xanth' - meaning 'golden' or 'auburn' - and a mosaic at Pella shows the warrior king with red hair. However, other Roman writers said it was dark blonde, such as Roman rhetoric teacher Aelian, who wrote: '...his hair curled naturally and was yellow'. Another expert said that the bones will reveal details about the man’s health and his diet. Katerina Peristeri, head of the Amphipolis Tomb excavation believes that the man was an important general, although because robbers have removed valuable items in antiquity, no weapons or precious objects remain in situ. But experts have hypothesised about how the grave would have looked at the time of burial. Solving a mystery: Last week, archaeologists found skeletal remains inside a grave in the innermost chamber of an ancient tomb in Amphipolis, north Greece. There has been great speculation in recent months whom the opulent burial belongs to . Chrysoula Paliadeli, Professor of Classical Archaeology at the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, said: ‘Thanks to the elements we [have obtained] from other Macedonian graves, in which there was no human intervention after the burial, we can assume that we would have found armaments - a shield, sword, chest armour, helmet, shin guards and other items - and ceremonial containers made of gold or copper, chaplet and probably earthenware pottery.’ Some commentators sill hold out hope that the skeleton belongs to Alexander the Great himself, based on the warrior king's symbol being found inside the tomb. However, The Greek Culture Ministry hasn't mentioned the symbol or the chances of the bones being the legendary warrior's. Alexander died in Babylonia, present day Iraq, but his burial site remains unknown. Some written accounts of the ancient leader's appearance say that he had red, or strawberry blonde hair, raising hopes that the skeleton may be his. One contemporaneous account says his hair was 'xanth' which means golden or auburn and a mosaic at Pella shows the warrior king with red hair. However, other Roman writers said it was dark blonde, such as Roman rhetoric teacher Aelian, who wrote: '...his hair curled naturally and was yellow'. Experts will analyse the bones and attempt to see if DNA of the man matches that of the Phillip II, Alexander the Great’s father. However, this may be difficult because the king’s DNA is said to be ‘overworked’. There is conjecture on Twitter about whether a 1999 geological survey indicates there are many more burial chambers in the grand complex, perhaps hiding more remains, meaning that even if the remains do not belong to Alexander the Great, the legendary leader may still lie in the mound. A new study of Kasta Hill is said to be under way to determine if experts have revealed all the site's secrets. Further tests will determine whether the man was a member of the ancient royal family of Macedonia. Lina Mendoni, Secretary Culture Secretary, warned it will be hard to determine this and such an investigation could take around eight months. Scientists will compare the DNA of the bones to that of Phillip II, who was buried at Vergina, but this will be difficult because the genetic material is 'overworked,' she told Iefimerida. The bones of Phillip II - father of Alexander the Great - were burnt and because DNA tests were carried out some 50 years ago, it is feared the results may have been contaminated. There is much conjecture on Twitter as to whether the tomb might belong to Alexander the Great or whether it is a massive complex, of which only one chamber has been discovered. Some Twitter users have spotted a symbol in the tomb that they say is the mark of the ancient leader, while others are pointing to the results of an old geological survey that hints the mound hides many underground stone structures. Last week, Greece’s Ministry of Culture revealed that the body had been placed in a wooden coffin, which disintegrated over time. The skeletal remains were found both inside and outside the rectangular stone-lined cist, under the floor of the cavernous, vaulted structure that is 26 feet (eight metres) tall . Iron and bronze nails as well as carved bone and glass decorations from the coffin were also found scattered in the grave. Findings: Greece's Culture Ministry said the skeleton was strewn in and around the stone-lined cistern, pictured, under the floor of the cavernous, vaulted structure that is 26ft tall . Opulent: There has been speculation that the tomb could be that of Alexander the Great (a mosaic depicting the king is shown). Examinations of the remains have established they belong to a man who was a general . New find: surviving fragments of carved bone and glass coffin ornaments found in the tomb at Amphipolis, but no helmet, shield or military objects which would be expected in the tomb of a Macedonian soldier . Alexander III of Macedon was born in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia in July 356 BC. He died of a fever in Babylon in June 323 BC. Alexander led an army across the Persian territories of Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt claiming the land as he went. His greatest victory was at the Battle of Gaugamela, now northern Iraq, in 331 BC, and during his trek across these Persian territories, he was said to never have suffered a defeat. This led him to be known as Alexander the Great. Following this battle in Gaugamela, Alexander led his army a further 11,000 miles (17,700km), founded over 70 cities and created an empire that stretched across three continents. This covered from Greece in the west, to Egypt in the south, Danube in the north, and Indian Punjab to the East. Alexander was buried in Egypt, but it is thought his body was moved to prevent looting. His fellow royals were traditionally interred in a cemetery near Vergina, far to the west. The lavishly-furnished tomb of Alexander's father, Philip II, was discovered during the 1970s. Archaeologists in . the past have said the grave likely belonged to a prominent . Macedonian and some had hoped it might have been built for Alexander the Great's mother or wife, while others predicted it belongs to a military man. Last week the Culture Ministry said in a statement: 'It is probably the monument of a dead person who became a . hero, meaning a mortal who was worshipped by society at that . time. 'The deceased was a prominent person, . since only this could explain the construction of this unique . burial complex.' ‘It is an extremely expensive construction, whose cost, clearly, is unlikely to have been borne by a private citizen.' Michalis Tiverios, a professor of archaeology at the University of Thessaloniki who has not been involved with the dig, said the human remains should provide valuable information on the occupant of the tomb, which at about 49 ft (15 metres) long and 15 ft (4.5 metres) wide is one of the biggest ever found in the country. He believes one possible candidate could be Nearchos, one of Alexander's closest aides who led his fleet back from India to modern Iraq, and who grew up in Amphipolis. The ministry confirmed fears that the tomb had been thoroughly and repeatedly plundered during antiquity. ‘Whatever objects of value the first thieves missed was taken by others later,’ Professor Tiverios said. Excavations at the site in northeastern Greece near the city . of Thessaloniki began in 2012. They captured global attention in . August when archaeologists announced the discovery of vast tomb . guarded by two sphinxes and circled by a 497-metre marble wall. Since then the tomb has also yielded a mosaic made of . coloured pebbles depicting the abduction of Persephone, the . daughter of Zeus, as well as two sculpted female figures also . known as Caryatids. The tomb dates to 300-325 B.C. Alexander the . Great died in 323 B.C. after a military campaign through the . Middle East, Asia and northeast Asia. Experts believe the ancient mound, situated around 65 miles (100km) from Thessaloniki (shown on the map) was built for a prominent Macedonian in around 300 to 325 BC . Clockwise from top right shows two headless, marble sphinxes found above the entrance to the barrel-vaulted tomb, details of the facade and the lower courses of the blocking wall, the antechamber's mosaic floor, a 4.2-metre long stone slab, and the upper uncovered sections of two female figures.

By . Simon Tomlinson . and David Jones . Letting out a mighty roar after scoring a goal, this was Britain’s blue-haired wheelchair rugby player David Anthony in action last night. A capacity crowd of 10,000 cheered on Anthony and the rest of the team as they took on reigning champions United States in the fast and furious sport once known as ‘murderball’. The crowd ensured an electric atmosphere for the eagerly awaited tournament launch of a sport that can feature ferocious clashes between players. War cry: Britain's David Anthony (left) celebrates after scoring past Chuck Aoki (right) of the United States . No holds barred: Will Groulx of the USA is up-ended during the wheelchair rugby match against Great Britain at the Basketball Arena . Violent collisions saw players go . flying, prompting the commentator to shout: ‘What a hit!’ Regular stops . in play allowed a team of helpers to sprint from the touchline and right . upended chairs, caused by tough tackles. The huge hits, met with gasps . and groans from the crowd, could be heard high up in the packed stadium, . and left stricken players prone on the floor. There were also regular . pauses for chairs to undergo a mid-court ‘pit stop’ as damaged wheels . were replaced. The GB team put on a brave display but . eventually lost 56-44 in their pool match. Fast and furious: Aaron Phipps of Great Britain with the ball during Paralympics GB's opening pool match . It's called 'murderball' for a reason: GB's Myles Pearson ends up flat on his back in a typically aggressive encounter against the world number one side . Captain Steve Brown’s team . are widely viewed as strong medal contenders, and they led 13-11 after a . fierce opening quarter at the Basketball Arena. Despite a 16-goal display from star . performer Aaron Phipps and an 11-goal contribution by Anthony, however, . they could not hold off the challenge of the Paralympic champions. France are next up tonight, followed by Japan tomorrow, with successive . victories certain to secure semi-final status. Brown said: ‘The States are number one . in the world, so it was never going to be easy. 'We had the bounce of . the ball sometimes, and other times it went against us. That crowd was . something else. 'You have to draw from the crowd and find that extra . percentage with your performance.’ Crash, bang, wallop: Will Groulx goes flying after being knocked over by Britain's Aaron Phipps (left). Heavy contacts are actively encouraged in the sport . Eyes on the ball: Britain's David Anthony (left) and Ross Morrison (right) close in on Nick Springer of the U.S. Doing it for the girls: Britain's only female player, Kylie Grimes, proves murderball is not just a man's world as she tackles a U.S. opponent . Not for the faint-hearted: USA's Will Groulx is picked up after falling during the Group A match at the Basketball Arena in London . Kylie Grimes, 24, the only female . player in Britain’s ranks – and one of only two in the tournament – . added: ‘We came out really strong.’ Tickets . for the London 2012 Games sold out, with the ParalympicsGB chef de . mission Craig Hunter describing it as a 'tough, fast game played with no . fear and plenty of clashes'. So many clashes, in fact, that there is a team of welders on standby at the sidelines, ready to repair players' wheelchairs. The 11-strong ParalympicsGB squad is a . young team, with only three players having taken part in both Beijing . and Athens and are hoping for their first Paralympics medal. Before today's game, Captain Steve Brown said the team . strongly wants to win a medal, in the strategic game he describes as . being similar to chess. But he stressed: 'There is no added pressure. I . am not thinking about the history.' He added that it was a 'buzz' to play in front of sell-out crowds. After today's opener, Britain play . France tomorrow evening, then Japan on Friday. Both semi-finals are on . Saturday, with the final one of the Games' last events next Sunday . afternoon. The game was invented in the 1970s by athletes with quadriplegia wanting an alternative sport to wheelchair basketball, but it was not until 1989 that the first international tournament was held. Great Britain was among the three teams taking part in Toronto, Canada. Can barely watch: The Earl and an aghast Countess of Wessex get into the action at the match . Agony to ecstasy: The countess celebrates as Paralympics GB score in what was a close but ultimately disappointing result for the home side . Tipping point: GB's Steve Brown desperately tries to stay upright in the heat of battle . Just out of reach: The British team gave it their all but came up short against the US . Crunching: Great Britain's Jonathan Coggan and Steve Brown crash into US opponent Will Groulx . As if being the only female member of the British wheelchair rugby team was not enough to make Kylie Grimes, above, stand out, she has also had a Union Jack shaved into the side of her bright red hair. The . 24-year-old put in an impressive performance when the ParalympicsGB . team faced the USA, ranked number one in the world, in the opening match . of the competition this afternoon. She is only the second woman to play with the British team at Paralympic level. Grimes, . who lives in Farnham, Surrey, took up the sport two years ago after an . accident which left her paralysed from the chest down. She . lost a £6million damages claim at the High Court last year over the . injury, which happened when she hit her head on the bottom of a swimming . pool as a teenager in 2006. Grimes . knew that she 'wanted to continue playing sport and as soon as she saw . her first game of wheelchair rugby, she says she knew it was the sport . for her', according to the British Paralympic Association. It first appeared at a Paralympic . Games in 1996 as a demonstration sport, making the Sydney . Games the . first time it was given full medal status. Wheelchair rugby is played indoors on a . basketball court, with mixed teams of four players who use a white . ball, similar to a volleyball. To . score a goal, an athlete has to pass the opposing team's goal line . while in firm control of the ball, with two wheels of their chair . crossing the line. The ball has to be passed or dribbled . every 10 seconds and is passed to the other side if that does not . happen. There are four eight-minute quarters to each game. While . there is contact between the chairs, penalties are incurred if physical . contact is made with an opponent or if an opponent's chair is hit . behind the rear wheel. Athletes are classified with a points system, on a scale from 0.5 to 3.5. Their team of four athletes on court . at any one time cannot exceed a total of 8.0 points in total unless . there is a woman in the team, in which case they are allowed an extra . 0.5 points. Those with the . highest level of impairment are classified as 0.5 players and along with . the 1.0 players, can not easily pick up or pass the ball, making them . more suited to being blockers. Those . with a rating of 3.0 or 3.5 have a high degree of strength and . stability as well as higher functionality in their upper limbs. Currently, the sport is dominated by the US and Canadian teams. Melee: ParalympicsGB player is hurled out of his chair after a shuddering collision . Damaged: Contact between chairs is not only allowed, it is positively encouraged . Bidding for the podium: The 11-strong ParalympicsGB squad is a young team, with only three players having taken part in both Beijing and Athens, and are hoping for their first Paralympics medal . High-flier: Britain's Ross Morrison throws the ball over Seth McBride . Murderball was given its name by the devil-may-care quadriplegics who invented the game during the late Seventies. It was also the title of a 2005 documentary starring U.S. player Mark Zurpan, about teams competing at the previous year’s Paralympics in Athens. The sport - otherwise known as wheelchair rugby - was invented by a group of Canadians who met in rehab and whose disabilities were so severe that they couldn’t participate in wheelchair basketball. Brutal: Murderball was popularised in a 2005 documentary starring U.S. player Mark Zurpan (right) about the sport during the Athens Games a year earlier . Searching for an outlet for their machismo, they found slamming into one another like wheel-propelled warriors exhilaratingly therapeutic. Sparks visibly fly as aluminium wheels are deliberately jammed by nasty devices (called ‘spikes’) attached to the front of some chairs. Attackers attempt to force the ball over the goal-line with the aid of battering rams, with the barging is so ferocious that players are frequently thrown from their seats, sometimes breaking fingers and arms. The sport soon became popular across the border in the U.S., and in the Eighties reached Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Britain. It has rapidly evolved, at the elite level, into a strategic game likened to fast-moving human chess. Though the British HQ is at Twickenham and the aim is to get the ball — round not oval — across a goal-line, it bears little resemblance to rugby.
Home nation outscored world number one in first quarter of pool match . But couldn't cope with U.S. side's passing and movement to lose 56-44 . Young team are hoping to land Great Britain's first Paralympics medal .

(CNN) -- Which television series is so good it's worth binge-watching from beginning to end? This question was posed over the weekend on the social networking website Reddit, where community members can solicit feedback from others on topics of their choosing. Judging from the responses, it seems that a variety of factors make a show binge-worthy, making different shows worth binging on for different reasons. Some of the most popular selections -- like "Deadwood," "Orphan Black" and "Stargate: SG1" -- had ongoing narratives and gripping cliffhangers at the end of each episode that left viewers anxious to find out what's next. Watching densely layered shows like those on a compressed cycle also minimizes the risk of forgetting key details or plot points that comes with waiting a week in between episodes. On the other end of the spectrum, viewers recommended fun and breezy comedies like "Peep Show" and "Silicon Valley," which require little investment of time or attention but deliver big on laughs and entertainment. Popular shows that had short runs, like "Firefly" or "Freaks and Geeks," also make compelling candidates if you can avoid getting emotionally attached. This list has been cherry-picked from the exhaustive thread started on Reddit, so it is by no means exhaustive. Tell us in the comments what would you add to this list.

By . David Kent . Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor believes Luis Suarez has taken a 'massive backward step' after the Uruguay striker was handed another long ban for biting an opponent. Taylor also feels the sanction handed down by FIFA on Thursday should have included a counselling and treatment course for the Liverpool striker to help him with 'a trait he has to get rid of'. FIFA punished Suarez with a nine-match suspension and a ban from playing for any team for four months after biting Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini during Tuesday's World Cup match. Under the cosh: Luis Suarez, pictured in the hours before FIFA's ruling, has been banned for four months . PFA Chief: Gordon Taylor says that Suarez is spoiling his talent and should be offered counselling to help him . Head down: It is the third time Suarez has been banned for biting an opposition player . It is the third time Suarez has been punished for biting opponents, having been banned for seven matches while playing for Ajax in 2010 and 10 matches when at Liverpool last year . Taylor told Sky Sports News: 'We felt things had got back on track (following his ban with Liverpool), it was up there for everybody to see, but of course this is a massive backward step on the world stage. 'I feel FIFA should have led the way with regard to trying to make sure that this behaviour is just eradicated and insist on there being some serious counselling and treatment for Luis Suarez because there's no doubt he's one of the finest players in the world - but this is a trait he has to get rid of. 'It's just not good for him, for any of his club, his country or the game in general and I've not seen that issue addressed either. 'Of course it's not good when you've got somebody of such talent who spoils that talent by such behaviour and that's why I believe it needs looking at in a serious way and that treatment course needs to be part of any sanction I would suggest.' Security: Uruguay's team hotel in Natal has been surrounded by armed guards in response to the incident . Kop that! Suarez will not be able to play for Liverpool until the end of October . Decision maker: Claudio Sulser said the incident 'could not be tolerated on any football pitch' Chomping at the bit: Luis Suarez appears bites Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 1-0 win . On whether he thinks Liverpool will stick by Suarez amid reports of interest from Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid this summer, Taylor added: 'They will have to make a decision. 'The size of the (reported) fee (from Barca and Madrid) is now a clear establishment for both the club and Luis Suarez, but no club wants to lose its very best players, particularly when they are one of the best in the world.

Not fooling anyone: Suarez holds his teeth after appearing to sink them into the shoulder of the Italian . Taylor, though, pointed out that the PFA has been successful in helping players deal with problems regarding mental health, frustration and anger in the past. He added: 'I would suggest we've been successful in about two out of three cases.

By . James Chapman . PUBLISHED: . 04:17 EST, 30 October 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 17:51 EST, 30 October 2012 . Up to six new nuclear power reactors will power 14million homes for 60 years following a massive deal announced yesterday. In the most significant boost yet for Government plans for a new network of atomic power stations, Japanese engineering giant Hitachi took on a project to construct plants in Wales and Gloucestershire. The £700million deal will create 12,000 jobs for construction workers, engineers and other skilled employees, and spark a broader multi-billion-pound investment in the nuclear industry. Deal: Masaharu Hanyu, Hitachi's vice president and executive officer, at a news conference in Tokyo as it confirms it is to buy Horizon Nuclear Power . Two British firms, power systems provider Rolls-Royce and engineering services group Babcock International, will work with Hitachi on the project. Britain currently has ten nuclear power stations, generating a total of ten gigawatts of electricity, around 19 per cent of Britain’s electricity needs. By 2023, all but one – Sizewell B in Suffolk – will have become obsolete. This could trigger an energy crisis, as one third of Britain’s old-fashioned coal-fired and oil-fired power stations will effectively be outlawed by environmental legislation at the same time. The future of the nuclear industry had . been thrown into doubt, however, by the decision of Germany’s E.ON and . RWE to pull out of developments in the UK. Energy Secretary: Ed Davey said the move was a 'vote of confidence' in UK energy policy . Now Hitachi is buying Horizon Nuclear Power – which has the rights to build reactors at Wylfa on Anglesey, North Wales, and Oldbury in Gloucestershire – from the German firms. Ministers and unions hailed the deal, but green campaigners described it as a ‘risky and expensive gamble.’ David Cameron said the announcement was a ‘decades-long, multi-billion-pound vote of confidence’ in the UK. The Prime Minister added: ‘It will support up to 12,000 jobs during construction and thousands more permanent highly skilled roles once the new power plants are operational, as well as stimulating exciting new industrial investments in the UK’s nuclear supply chain.’ Energy and Climate Change Secretary Edward Davey said: ‘Hitachi bring with them decades of expertise, and are responsible for building some of the most advanced nuclear reactors on time and on budget, so I welcome their commitment to helping build a low-carbon secure energy future for the UK. I particularly welcome Hitachi’s firm commitment to involve the UK supply chain and local workforce. ‘New nuclear isn’t only about keeping the lights on and emissions down, it’s an industrial strategy with big potential wins.’ The minister said there had been a ‘huge amount of interest’ from across the world in buying Horizon, adding that the UK could now become a ‘springboard’ for nuclear development in other countries. He stressed there would be no public subsidy and that developers would be responsible for decommissioning costs. Mr Davey added: ‘We have made it very clear that there will be no public subsidy for new nuclear. There is no taxpayer subsidy in this at all.’ Hitachi and ministers played down safety fears in the wake of last year’s Fukushima power plant meltdown in Japan, pointing to the UK’s strong regulatory regime and the company’s track record in building safe nuclear plants. Tatsuro Ishizuka, vice-president of Hitachi, said the company would invest billions of pounds in UK nuclear operations, adding: ‘Our aim is to build safe nuclear power stations, on time and on budget, to provide long-term, affordable energy.’ Investment: Hitachi plans to employ its advanced boiling water technology, which is already in use in four reactors in Japan . However, Hitachi uses an advanced boiling water reactor for its plants – different from existing nuclear plants in Britain – raising concerns that it could take years to approve the projects. Mike Clancy, general secretary-designate of the Prospect union, said: ‘While Hitachi’s advanced boiling water reactor design has yet to undergo the UK’s generic design assessment approval process, it is a proven technology and therefore any construction in the UK will benefit from lessons learned from its construction  in Japan.’ Unite national officer Kevin Coyne said: ‘This is good news for the UK nuclear industry, for jobs and for a low-carbon future. ‘There are massive job opportunities here in the UK and we urge Hitachi to maximise the UK  supply chain.’ Greenpeace energy campaigner Leila Deen said: ‘It speaks volumes about the UK’s struggling nuclear programme that the Government is promoting a reactor that’s years from being granted UK safety approval and is designed by the company that helped build Fukushima.’ The Government has plans to develop new nuclear reactors on eight sites, but until yesterday had struggled to persuade companies to invest. The move by Japanese giant Hitachi to build new reactors in the UK has led to renewed calls by environmentalists for the nuclear programme to be abandoned. Hitachi's advanced boiling water reactor is different from existing nuclear plants in Britain and from designs being developed by other companies for sites here, prompting claims it will take years to approve the projects. Greenpeace energy campaigner Leila Deen said: 'It speaks volumes about the UK's struggling nuclear programme that the Government is promoting a reactor that's years from being granted UK safety approval and is designed by the company that helped build Fukushima. 'Instead of waiting years to find out how much billpayers will end up subsidising this project, the Government should join Japan and Germany, abandon nuclear, and invest instead in clean, renewable energy.' Friends of the Earth's Guy Shrubsole said: 'This is a risky and expensive gamble for Hitachi that other energy firms are unwilling to take - and contrary to the promises the coalition has made, the public will end up funding it. 'Nuclear has always delivered late and over budget, and crucially it won't reduce emissions until the 2020s, when to tackle climate change, we need emissions cuts to happen straight away.' He added: 'Last night's nuclear safety alert in the face of hurricane Sandy was a stark reminder of Fukushima and how vulnerable our energy infrastructure can be.' Hitachi said there were four advanced boiling water reactors in Japan, all of which were delivered on time, and another four under construction in Japan and Taiwan. The design is based on previous boiling water reactors, using water heated directly by the nuclear core to create steam to drive electricity turbines, of which there are 84 worldwide including in the US, Germany, Netherlands and India. The reactors at Fukushima, where nuclear disaster struck when the site was hit by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami in March 2011, were also boiling water reactors. But Professor Andrew Sherry, director of the Dalton Nuclear Institute at the University of Manchester, said the reactors at Fukushima dated back to the 1960s. 'The design will have advanced significantly between the 1960s and 2000s.' Professor Paul Howarth, director of the National Nuclear Laboratory, said boiling water reactors had to conform to the same safety standards as other plants, which the UK understood well. But he said the UK would need to train up operators so they understood the 'subtly' different requirements of boiling water reactors. Prof Sherry said he thought today's announcement was very good news for the UK, which had challenging targets to cut carbon that required the development of nuclear as well as renewables. But he said the need for a nuclear renaissance would not lead to corners being cut or decisions rushed through, saying 'that couldn't happen in the UK'.

(CNN) -- Only two Republican presidential candidates will appear on the ballot in Virginia next year, regardless of how many are in the race. Mitt Romney and Ron Paul will have the Dominion State all to themselves. Supporters of Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman and Michele Bachmann will have to be content with yard signs or donations as ways of cheering on their favorite would-be nominee. That's because their campaigns failed to gain the requisite 10,000 signatures. It is, to be sure, a self-inflicted wound, a measure of some organizational chaos. But it is also a function of illogically restrictive local laws. They not only impede ballot access but end up denying open representative democracy to operate on the road to the Oval Office. The United States is the only nation in the world, save Switzerland, that does not have uniform federal ballot access laws, according to Ballot Access News, a website run by Richard Winger that is dedicated to the issue. This may reflect the country's closely held federalism, but it can create chaos in a presidential year. In many cases, the rules are imposed by state party bosses who are less interested in democracy than in rigging the system to benefit their favored candidates. Take, for example, my home state of New York. It votes reliably Democratic in presidential years, at least since Ronald Reagan thrashed Walter Mondale in 1984. But the state's primary delegates can still be a prize in a protracted Republican nomination fight. In 1999, John McCain had to sue to even have his name appear on the ballot alongside George W. Bush because the Republican state party chair and his committee essentially decided that Bush would be their nominee without the inconvenience of putting it to a vote. Local laws allowed them to restrict ballot access until public pressure and a court injunction overruled their attempted end-run around democracy. Each presidential cycle, the corrupt kabuki continues. In this election season, Virginia's ballot isn't the only one with high barriers to entry. Indiana requires 4,500 signatures and Illinois 3,000. In Rhode Island, some Republican officials are warning that not a single Republican candidate could qualify for the state's primary ballot. Changes to ballot laws last spring now give candidates about two weeks after they declare on January 19 to collect 1,000 signatures from registered Republicans for a ballot spot -- a difficult task during the cold season. Because our primary system focuses intensely on the first few states -- notably January's gantlet of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida -- dark-horse candidates logically focus their efforts and limited resources on crucial early contests. But if they are able to build enough support in those states, they can find themselves cut off at the knees in later primary states with high-hurdle filing deadlines or signature requirements. This adds to the advantage of establishment candidates with enough big money behind them to build national organizations before the early states have even voted. Republican primary voters have watched their candidates debate more than a dozen times this year alone. They have informed opinions. By the time January is over, the current field of seven candidates will probably be cut to three or four. Certainly, at that crucial stage of the nomination, every registered Republican should have a chance to vote for his or her preferred nominee. One of the major problems in American politics today is that the parties have forgotten that they are not the purpose of our democracy. Independent voters like me -- now nearly 40% of the electorate and on the rise across the nation -- are effectively disenfranchised in the crucial closed partisan primaries where most elections are effectively decided. Open primaries, such as in New Hampshire, where independents are allowed to vote, often have the additional benefit of selecting the best general election candidate, the one best able to appeal to centrists as well as conservatives. Look, I'd like to see more open primaries across the nation as a means of achieving a more representative democracy, less disproportionately dominated by partisan activists. But surely, registered Republicans should have the ability to vote for the candidate of their choice, regardless of ridiculously restrictive local election laws. "It's very disappointing watching people on TV act like its only Newt Gingrich or Rick Perry who are being affected," said Winger, who runs Ballot Access News. "It's the voters who are being injured." Gingrich, Perry and the other leading Republicans deserve to have their names appear on the ballot as long as their campaigns continue. Their supporters should have the right to vote for their favored candidate. Anything less is hiding behind legalisms, with other candidates defending the status quo because it suits their short-term self-interest, not because it is right or just. It is a coward's way to win a primary, and it demeans our democracy by denying voters the full range of choice at a pivotal point in the race for the presidency. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of John Avlon.
John Avlon: Rules on collecting signatures have left only 2 GOP candidates on Virginia ballot . Lack of uniform federal ballot access laws disenfranchises some primary voters, he says . He says state party machines can set arbitrary rules that favor establishment candidates . Avlon: Gingrich, Perry, other GOP candidates deserve names on the ballot if they're running .

A young boy nearly killed by a dose of ibuprofen have been dealt a second devastating blow - after doctors told him he is going blind. Calvin Lock came down with a suspected viral infection in 2012 and was given a single dose of strawberry-flavoured liquid Nurofen by his mother. But the painkiller triggered an extremely rare reaction which caused his body to burst into blisters and his hair and fingernails to fall out. The now 13-year-old lost 65 per cent of his skin and had to be put on a life support machine for three days. Scroll down for video . Calvin Lock, 13, has been dealt a devastating blow as doctors say he will go blind due to Severe Ocular Surface Disease, which affects the corneas. In 2012 he suffered a horrific reaction to a dose of Ibuprofen, causing his skin to blister and fall off (right) Calvin Lock, 13, (pictured with mother Robyn Moult and stepfather Daryn Chamber) has been dealt a devastating blow as doctors say he will go blind due to Severe Ocular Surface Disease, which affects the corneas. In 2012 he suffered a horrific reaction to a dose of ibuprofen, causing his skin to blister and fall off . His mother has released pictures of Calvin to raise awareness of Steven Johnson Syndrome, the rare reaction he suffered. Doctors initially diagnosed the then 11-year-old with chicken pox, left, after a rash appeared. But they soon discovered it was SJS which causes skin cells to die and shed, right . Another side-effect of SJS is developing Severe Ocular Surface disease, caused by excessive scarring from the reaction to Ibuprofen. He also suffers trichiasis, where the eyelashes grow inwards . Doctors initially told his family he only had chicken pox, before diagnosing Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS), which causes the skin cells die and large parts to shed like a snake. But Calvin's condition worsened and he developed the more serious form of the condition, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, meaning his skin was burning from the inside out. He spent nearly three weeks in Addenbrooke's Hospital receiving treatment before being allowed back to his home in Littleport, Cambridgeshire. His mother Robyn Moult, 40, and stepfather Daryn Chambers, 49, were amazed he survived the condition, which affects around one or two people per million a year. But they have now been left devastated after Calvin developed a painful eye disease that will leave him blind in both eyes within the next two years. He has been diagnosed with Severe Ocular Surface disease - a severe condition affecting the corneas of his eyes. Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a severe adverse reaction to a medication. It was named after two US paediatricians who first described it in 1922. It affects around one to two people per million and is more common among women. Symptoms include skin rashes, blisters in the mouth, ears and nose and swelling of the eyelids. If left untreated the condition can result in death. Possible complications include permanent blindness and lung damage. Once diagnosed doctors will immediately stop the patient taking the offending drug. Treatment includes IV fluids and high calorie formulas to promote healing. Antibiotics are given when necessary to prevent secondary infections such as sepsis. Pain medications such as morphine can make the patient more comfortable. The excessive scarring from the reaction to ibuprofen caused cornea erosions, and scarring of the eye's mucous membranes which affect his eyelids. He also has trichiasis, where the eyelashes grow inwards and has growing vitreous adhesions which causes the gel that fills up the inside of the eye to shrink, liquify and stick to the retina - resulting in blindness. He has had to have operations to attempt to fix his sight, electrolysis to rid his eyes of his eyelashes and further surgery to stop his eyelids from turning inwards. The teenager already struggles to see the board at school, can no longer play video games. And he has to have eye drops put in every hour of every day. Calvin also suffers chronic fatigue, full body scarring, mouth and throat problems, depression, and has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Mrs Moult, who has three older children, said: 'It's an autoimmune condition which will never go away. 'His body will constantly attack itself forever and it's devastating to watch. 'Calvy feels like he has constant grit in his eye, it's extremely painful for him. I try to make him take responsibility but I also don't want to nag, I feel helpless. 'If he forgets to put his eye drops in he's left rolling on the floor in agony. The condition left him with memory loss and this means he frequently does forget. 'He struggles to run around with his friends, it's so much to recover from and he keeps trying to fight it and can't accept that his life has changed. 'His personality is different now, what he went through was so traumatic that he needs treatment for PTSD. Calvin will be talking about his experience next year at the House of Commons where we will be campaigning for National SJS Awareness and launching the first NHS Awareness Poster Campaign . 'He's so intelligent and bright but now he can't be bothered with school, he doesn't see the point because he doesn't think he has a future without his eyesight.' The couple are now planning legal action against the NHS, claiming the original misdiagnosis has made his condition much worse. They claim Addenbrooke's could have done more to prevent the infection and its side effects if staff had acted sooner. The couple say he was twice wrongly diagnosed with chickenpox and a specialist witness employed by their legal team said the diagnosis should have been put to a more senior doctor. They also believe he would have recovered quicker if he had been transferred straight away to the burns unit in Essex. Mrs Moult said: 'There should have been a thorough investigation. 'Clearly the doctor should have consulted a senior member of staff about Calvin's diagnosis. 'He definitely should have been transferred straight to the burns department to prevent more trauma and scarring. 'His care was inadequate and it's left him with debilitating conditions. 'I'm determined he will have a career and an education, and we want to be able to buy him the equipment he will need, such as audio technology, to help him through life.' Calvin fell ill on September 19, 2012 with a sore throat and Mrs Moult gave him the liquid Nurofen after his GP said he had a viral infection. Six days later he returned to the GP with a rash and was diagnosed with chickenpox - which SJS is often mistaken for - and given antibiotics. Calvin, pictured before he suffered the rare reaction to the painkiller in 2011 . The next morning, swelling and rashes had appeared across his body and he was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital. Doctors there also diagnosed chickenpox but it took 24 hours to admit him as an in-patient by which time he was struggling to breathe and unable to walk, talk or see. Calvin was put on a drip as staff started treated more than 200 painful blisters but his condition deteriorated and he was put on a life-support machine. He was transferred to a burns unit where surgeons removed affected skin from 65 per cent of his body. He has now been diagnosed with a range of eye problems which doctors warn will leave him blind, and has already endured operations to fix his sight. Calvin will be talking about his experience next year at The House of Commons where we will be campaigning for National SJS Awareness and launching the first NHS Awareness Poster Campaign. He and his mother have just had their charity SJS Awareness officially registered and started a website sjsawareness.org.uk . A spokesman for Nurofen for Children told the Mail at the time, warnings about the reactions suffered by Calvin are included on the patient information leaflet in 'consumer friendly language'. A spokesperson for Cambridge University Hospitals, who run Addenbrooke's Hospital, said: 'We are unable to comment on individual cases as this would breach patient confidentiality.'
Calvin Lock, 11, was given the painkiller to tackle a viral infection . Suffered a rare but severe reaction that caused his skin to burn off . Reaction was originally mistaken for chickenpox, delaying treatment . Has been told a serious eye condition will leave him blind within 2 years . Parents are launching action against the NHS for initial misdiagnosis .

Possums carry a flesh-eating strain of bacteria in their faeces harmful to humans . Scientists have discovered a strain of bacteria in possum faeces with the potential to cause flesh-eating ulcers in humans. Infectious disease researchers at Victoria's Barwon Health have found that the fury critters carry the buruli bacteria - a disease-carrying germ with the potential to cause 'permanent disfigurement and disability' in humans if they come in to contact with it. In most cases the bacteria leaves people with major skin ulcers, most prominently on the arms and legs. However depending on the level of human exposure it can potentially render people permanently disabled. The most recent cases of exposure to the buruli bacteria have been in the Gippsland, Bellarine and Mornington regions in Victoria. Barwon Health Associate Professor Daniel O'Brien said possum faeces is rich in the bacteria. He told 774 ABC Melbourne there needs to be more research into whether contact with possum faeces is what causes buruli ulcers, also known as Bairnsdale ulcers, in humans. 'What we know in areas where we're getting infections and possums are infected is that their possum poo does carry a large amount of the organism,' he said. 'What we do think is a good public health measure is to remove the possum faeces from the area as much as possible and wash your hands as much as you can after that to minimise potential exposures.' The organism that causes the ulcer is in the same family as that which causes tuberculosis and leprosy, according to the World Health Organisation. 'Patients who are not treated early suffer long-term functional disability,' The WHO states. 'Early diagnosis and treatment are the only ways to minimize morbidity and prevent disability.' Researchers say that a better understanding of the transmission of the disease between possum poo and humans is needed . The infection usually begins as a painless, itchy pimple which then breaks down to form an ulcer. If treated early the ulcer is curable but if left to spread the condition can be serious, according to Professor O'Brien. 'The treatment is really quite difficult. It often involves a long period of antibiotics which can be difficult to take and often involves surgery.' He said people have been infected in Victoria's Gippsland region and the Bellarine Peninsula, and most recently in the Mornington Peninsula. No infected possums have been detected in metropolitan Melbourne. Professor O'Brien said a better understanding of how the bacteria is transmitted between the faeces and humans is needed. 'The most important thing for me is that we can prevent this infection, because at the moment we can treat it but we don't really know how to prevent it,' he said. 'When you see young kids coming into the clinic with really nasty ulcers on their arm ... what we really need to do is stop them getting it in the first place.'
Victorian researchers discovered the flesh-eating strain of bacteria . If exposed to humans can leave them with debilitating ulcers in arms, legs . If treated early the disease is curable but worsens without treatment . WHO states that patients can 'suffer long-term functional disability' Cases have been reported in rural Victorian areas .

A Chicago man convicted in the savage beating of a Northern Irish exchange student, which left her unable to walk or speak, was sentenced to 90 years in prison today. Minutes before Heriberto Viramontes learned his fate Thursday, a prosecutor displayed the bat used to assault exchange student Natasha McShane and her friend Stacy Jurich as they walked home on a spring evening. The 2010 attack left McShane with severe brain damage. Scroll down for video . Vindicated: Heriberto Viramontes (left) was sentenced to 90 years in prison for the April 2010 baseball bat attack on Irish exchange student Natasha McShane (right) and her college friend . The Chicago Sun-Times cites Judge Jorge Alonso saying at Thursday's hearing that hatred and greed motivated the 34-year-old Viramontes. Earlier, Ms Jurich said the evening of the attack had gone from one of joy to her suddenly being on her knees, dripping with blood. 'Their only sin was thinking it was safe to walk four or five blocks in the city of Chicago,' Judge Alonso said of the two victims, according to Chicago Tribune. Before the sentencing, the court heard from McShane's mother, Sheila, who had traveled from Northern Ireland for the occasion. Stacy Jurich also offered her impact statement, and the attacker's family were given a chance to speak as well. Liam and Sheila McShane, parents of beating victim Natasha McShane, walk to the courtroom before Cook County Judge Jorge Alonso sentenced their daughter's attacker, Heriberto Viramontes, to 90-years in prison Thursday . Staying strong: Stacy Jurich, right, walks to the courtroom with her unidentified fiance . Calling Viramontes 'a cowardly, evil being,' Jurich revealed that she still suffers seizures and cannot drive or ride a bike. 'I wish the sounds of the bat breaking my head open would go away, but they never will,' she said from the witness stand. Sheila McShane said her daughter requires around-the-clock care, has speech and physical therapy sessions five days a week and cannot say more than four words at a time. She relies on a picture book featuring images of different objects to communicate. 'She is still alive, but it feels as if we lost her and that's a scar that will never heal,' said Mrs McShane. 'As Natasha's parents, we feel as if we are rearing our 27-year-old daughter all over again.' She added, 'One thing is for certain: Natasha will have a life sentence of her own. A life sentence of pain, misery and unfulfillment,' reported NBC Chicago. When given a chance to say a few words, the defendant expressed hope that his sentencing would start a 'healing process' for the victims and their loved ones. ‘I could never understand the pain that [they] have experienced,’ he said. Update: Sheila McShane said her daughter requires 24-hour care and is forced to rely on a picture book to communicate . Emotional moment: Stacy Jurich broke down saying she still has seizures and cannot get out of her mind the sound of the bat breaking her head . The 35-year-old criminal kept his head bowed for most of the proceedings, but broke down in tears when his sister took the stand talking about their tough family history, and she insisted that her brother was 'not a monster.' Assistant State’s Attorney John Maher argued for a 120-year sentence, telling Judge Alonso that Viramontes 'literally turned Natasha McShane into a ghost.' Mr Viramontes will serve 85 per cent of the sentence, which amounts to about 77 years, behind bars. In the early morning hours of April 23, 2010, Jurich and McShane were walking home in the Bucktown section of Chicago after a night out when a man savagely bludgeoned them as they passed under a viaduct. Miss Jurich needed more than 15 stitches in the back of her head, lost some of her vision and suffers from tremors. Her 23-year-old friend, Miss McShane, was left unable to walk or talk. Survivor: Stacy Jurich stands at the entrance to the viaduct where she and her friend Natasha McShane were brutally attacked in 2010 . Their attacker stole the girls' purses and Miss Jurich remembered thinking that no one would know who they were, just before she lost consciousness. Miss Jurich told the Chicago Tribune that it was while she was still in hospital that she realized she was the only one who could help bring their attacker to justice. A few days after the attack, detectives visited her in the hospital and asked her to identify items they had found. It was perfume and makeup the friends had bought the day before the attack. The sight of their belongings reduced Miss Jurich to tears, but she told the Chicago Tribune it made her think: 'This is on your plate now. You are the only voice.' For the . past four years, Ms Jurich has worked tirelessly with police to ensure . their attacker, Heriberto Viramontes, would be brought to justice. In October, Viramontes was found guilty of . attempted murder, armed robbery and aggravated robber.y . Painful memories: Stacy stands close to where she and Natasha were attacked. Four years after their ordeal she can still recall seeing her friend being smashed to the ground . Brave: Stacy Jurich, center, leaves a courtroom during her attacker's trial last year . Marcy Cruz, a stripper who drove him away from the crime scene, has already been sentenced to 22 years in prison. When she faced Viramontes at the trial last year, Miss Jurich, 28, told the court: 'I had to be the voice because I didn't want this man to hurt anyone else. I wanted to put [Viramontes] away for my best friend, for Natasha.' High profile: The attack that left Natasha, pictured, disabled was used to highlight the increased violence in Chicago . Healing: Four years after the attack Stacy, pictured with her fiance Tim Shannon, is getting her life back on track . On the night she was left disabled for life, Miss McShane had just been offered an internship that would have allowed her to extend her visa in the U.S. Instead, her family flew her back to Northern Ireland, where she struggles to accomplish even the smallest of tasks, like drinking from a cup. Miss Jurich said she is haunted by feelings of guilt. When she got engaged and got a job, she felt sad knowing her friend would never share those experiences. To pay tribute to her friend, and as a reminder of the attack that changed both of their lives forever, Miss Jurich designed a tattoo, featuring two roses to represent the friends, and an Irish cross to represent Miss McShane's home country.

By . Brian Marjoribanks . It’s not often little Albion Rovers send tremors across the world football - but that’s exactly what they did in March when the part-timers from Scottish football’s lowest tier were just 12 minutes from eliminating Rangers in a Scottish Cup quarter-final at Ibrox. There was a similar, if not so well publicised, aftershock earlier this month when the Coatbridge club announced they had sacked the manager responsible for their best run in the tournament since 1936. Not only was James Ward brutally binned despite steering the club to its biggest-ever payday – earning £400,000 before losing to Rangers in a replay – his bulleting came just weeks after he had penned a new one-year contract and signed 15 new players for the new season. Sacked: Manager James Ward (right) lost his job after guiding Albion Rovers on their best run since 1936 . Gone: Ward got within 12 minutes of masterminding a win over Rangers in the Scottish Cup quarter-final . In his place have come rookie boss Darren Young, the former Aberdeen and Dunfermline midfielder, and experienced sidekick Sandy Clark. On the back of Ward’s achievements, Rovers had garnered bucket-loads of positive publicity on their way to the last-eight, especially after donating £10,000 of their cup cash to a children’s charity. His abrupt departure shone a less favourable spotlight on the uncharacteristic ruthlessness of Rovers, as Ward bemoaned his ‘shock’ and ‘surprise’ at being shown the door after a run that also saw Motherwell eliminated. On Tuesday, however, as new boss Young was officially paraded, the impressively plain-speaking Rovers chairman John Devlin set the record straight in pretty damning fashion. For all the plaudits that accompanied their best cup run in 78 years, last season’s seventh place finish in League Two was deemed ‘unacceptable’. The team’s end-of-season performances, after Ward had signed his new deal, were deemed as particularly unappetising.

(CNN) -- Who is Stanislas Cordova? That's the burning question at the heart of "Night Film," the anticipated follow-up to best-selling author Marisha Pessl's 2006 literary debut. Pessl burst onto the scene in 2006 with "Special Topics in Calamity Physics." She received a six-figure advance, almost unheard of for a first-time author, a ton of hype and even some snarky backlash over her photogenic looks. But the book lived up to expectations, selling some 200,000 copies and landing on The New York Times' list of Best Books of 2006. Seven years later, "Night Film" is hitting bookstores this week amid greater expectations and even more hype. Movie rights are already spoken for by Chernin Entertainment, the studio behind "Oblivion" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," and critics are raving about Pessl's multimedia storytelling approach, which takes readers beyond the novel's pages to explore the story of a mysterious director and the washed-up reporter out to expose him. Pessl's fictional mash-up of Stanley Kubrick, Roman Polanski and David Lynch hasn't been seen in public for 30 years. His movies are so frightening no theater will show them; his cult of fans meet in abandoned buildings and underground tunnels for secret screenings. Investigative journalist Scott McGrath tried to expose Cordova years ago and it backfired, costing him his job, marriage and reputation. When Cordova's daughter turns up dead in an apparent suicide, McGrath sees an opportunity to exact revenge against the man he blames for his downfall. Pessl weaves into the narrative excerpts from magazine articles, newspaper headlines, police reports, crime scene photos and screen shots of online message boards. She also wrote and directed several short films being featured over the next few weeks on YouTube that offer clues into the book's mystery, including snippets and trailers from Cordova's films. Pessl said she wanted to give readers another way to interact with the story, hoping her fans obsess over "Night Film" just as she did writing it. Fast facts: Marisha Pessl . Age: 35 . Hometown: Grew up in Asheville, North Carolina; lives in New York City. For fans of: Psychological thrillers like Gillian Flynn's critically acclaimed "Gone Girl," and "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt. Five questions with Marisha Pessl . CNN: What was the spark behind this book? Pessl: It was definitely Cordova and the idea of this underground, hidden figure. I'd done a lot of research on filmmakers and the idea of an auteur and patriarch who invites people to his estate to make a film, like Kubrick shot his films on a set that had been built on his estate so he didn't have to leave. That was a germinating idea for me in terms of Cordova. Also, the idea of someone hidden, our world is so overexposed right now. People don't get out of bed without tweeting about it. People don't make art these days without begging people to interact with it, to buy it, to consume it in some way. I wanted to create the antithesis of all that, a figure who went out of his way to become completely underground, who didn't care about selling any kind of product. It was really about a return to mystery in our lives and finding that again in our overexposed world. CNN: The book has a compulsive, driven feel to it. Was it that way for you writing it? Pessl: The writing process was exactly as obsessive. In some ways the writer's experience with the material can't help but drip down onto the pages. I wouldn't call it anxiety because I really did love creating this world, but there were things that kept me awake at night. I think that sense of dislocation and claustrophobia and not exactly knowing where I was going, only that I was driven to find out what was there at the very end. I had all those same experiences as a writer that my characters did, simply because of the nature of this book. I wanted to push myself to the end of my writing experience and then see if I could take myself even further. I really wanted to challenge myself. CNN: Tell me why you used a multimedia approach to the story? Pessl: I wasn't trying to break any boundaries but I wanted to find the best means by which to tell the story. I personally love archives and I love going through old antique stores and looking at old wedding photographs, and old class photos of people in kindergarten in the 1920s. I love looking at the ephemera people leave behind when they're no longer here. I wanted to bring that feeling to "Night Film" and through those bits and pieces bring Cordova's world to life. I wanted to make his world really immediate to the reader. There's a voyeuristic quality that I think is really compelling to be able to peruse old reports. I definitely went through a lot of old police blogs and read through crime scene reports. It's absolutely fascinating the level of detail that goes into describing things like the blood spatter pattern and the positioning of the body, it's absolutely fascinating. In this CSI world, where everyone knows a lot about forensics, it made sense to give that to readers, rather than just telling them about it. CNN: Did the book turn out the way you'd envisioned? Pessl: I think it became even darker and more gnarled. I wanted a really dark, mythical odyssey, something really immersive. I began writing it around the time of the financial crisis in late 2008, when it felt like the world was in such a state of chaos. Every time you turned on the TV there was more bad news and it seemed as if things were really dire. In New York City people were really down and I know I wanted an escape. I wanted something that was thrilling, and enigmatic, that moved, but also multi-layered with great characters. I thought more in terms of a mood and a feeling and an experience. That was the story I wanted to read and I think as writers we always write what we wish existed. So I wanted something dark but I think it's critical even in those dark places to have lightness. Even when things were dire, as they were in 2008, there's always time for humor, which is why my character Scott has so many asides in the book. CNN: While your book is dark, there's also a feeling of hope? Pessl: The book does have some dark places but our world is dark, and experiences that people go through are horrifying. Though evil exists, my world view is there's always hope. With the human spirit there's always the possibility of transcendence and something good. In the end, I don't think we live in a hopeless, amoral world. I think goodness exists and I wanted to convey that while allowing the reader to step to the edge and formulate his or her own conclusions.

KHARTOUM, Sudan (CNN) -- In an effort to shut down Khartoum's Unity High School, a disgruntled former employee alerted Sudanese officials that a British teacher had allowed her class to name a teddy bear "Mohammed," a British source and Sudanese presidential palace source told Time magazine's Sam Dealey. An undated amateur photo shows Gillian Gibbons, who was jailed for allowing children to name a teddy bear "Mohammed". Gillian Gibbons, 54, was convicted last week of insulting religion and sentenced to 15 days in jail and deportation. Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir pardoned her from her prison sentence on Monday and she later left on a flight for England. The two sources said Sarah Khawad was fired as the school's secretary in November after an employment spat and threatened to shut down the school. The sources said Khawad did not appear to have a vendetta against Gibbons, but hoped that by bringing the teddy bear incident to the education minister's attention, he would close down the school for anti-Islamic teachings. Watch Time magazine's Sam Dealey's report on the pardon » . The private school was shut down after the controversy came to light last week. It is unclear if it will reopen. Although there is no ban in the Quran on images of Allah or the Prophet Mohammed, Islam's founder, some Muslims consider likenesses highly offensive. The sources said they have confirmed the account with Gibbons. Defense attorneys confirmed that it was Khawad who launched the initial complaint against Gibbons, not a parent as originally thought. Khawad also testified at Gibbons' trial. Before approaching Sudan's education minister, the two sources said Khawad tried to enlist two parents, who were also teachers at the school, to join in her protest against the teddy bear's name, but they declined. Gibbons had been working at the school -- popular with wealthy Sudanese and expatriates -- since August, after leaving her position as deputy head teacher at a primary school in Liverpool this summer, said the head of Unity High School, Robert Boulos. She had asked her class of 7-year-olds to come up with a name for the toy as part of a school project, he said. Classmates took turns taking the teddy bear home with them, accompanied by a diary with the bear's name written in the front of it, he said. She was taken into custody on November 25 and tried days later in a Sudanese court. She was cleared of other charges of inciting hatred and showing contempt for religious beliefs. Gibbons had initially faced the possibility of 40 lashes and a six-month jail term for insulting Islam. The incident sparked a diplomatic row, with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband calling on his Sudanese counterpart to dismiss the charges. Two British lawmakers, both Muslims, traveled to Khartoum to help secure her release. It also resulted in angry protests in Khartoum, with some calling for the British woman's execution.

(CNN)Terrorism is nothing new to Europe. But there are new, pressing questions tied to the latest threats -- ones that authorities are trying to answer in their quest to get the upper hand and keep the continent safe. European security services in recent weeks have received indications that the extremist group ISIS may have started directing European adherents in Syria and Iraq to launch attacks back in their home countries, a senior European counterterrorism official told CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank. Separately, a Western intelligence source told CNN national correspondent Deborah Feyerick that the threat appears to involve as many as 20 sleeper cells of between 120 and 180 people ready to strike in France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. The source said that European Union and Middle East intelligence agencies identified an "imminent threat" to Belgium, and possibly also to the Netherlands. Last week's attacks in France are proof that these threats could become reality at any time. Assessing how close Europe is to another such attack, and doing whatever possible to prevent it are top priorities now for European authorities. What is the nature of the threat? Beyond what has emerged about Thursday's raids in Belgium -- which ended with two suspects dead -- details remain sketchy. The European counterterrorism official told Cruickshank that there were indications that returnees from Iraq and Syria had been directed by ISIS leadership to launch attacks on European soil in revenge for airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. "That would be a game changer because ISIS up to this point has not orchestrated any terrorist plots in the West," Cruickshank said. "There have been some ISIS fighters who have come back, but they have launched plots on their own steam." The official named France, the United Kingdom and Belgium as countries facing a particular threat and said counterterrorism agencies in Germany are also on high alert. Several European nations, including the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, are participating in the air campaign against ISIS in Iraq. A senior Belgian counterterrorism official told Cruickshank that the suspected terrorist cell that was raided is believed to have received instructions from ISIS. German authorities, meanwhile, said they had arrested three men on suspicion of links to ISIS. A 26-year-old man suspected of having trained to fight in Syria and trying to recruit others to join ISIS was detained in Lower Saxony on Thursday; and two men in their early 40s suspected of supporting ISIS in Syria were taken into custody in Berlin on Friday. But none of the men appear to have been planning attacks in Germany, authorities said. Are there concerns about any other groups? Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has claimed responsibility for the deadly shooting at the offices of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris last week. U.S. authorities said they thought the video was authentic. But they weren't ready to say that AQAP helped carry out the assault. "We're not there yet. There are good indicators" that the group was behind the attack, but the intelligence community is still assessing, a senior administration official told CNN. At least a dozen people were detained in the Paris region overnight in connection with last week's shootings, the city prosecutor's office said Friday. The European counterterrorism official told Cruickshank that there was also significant concern about Khorasan, an al Qaeda affiliate group, plotting attacks against Europe. Last week, Andrew Parker, the head of the British security service MI5 warned that a group of core al Qaeda terrorists in Syria was planning mass casualty attacks against the West, an apparent reference to the Khorasan group, according to Cruickshank. Are ISIS and al Qaeda working together in Europe? That doesn't seem to be the case, despite the apparently mixed affiliations of the Paris attackers. Cherif and Said Kouachi, the two brothers who French authorities say carried out the Charlie Hebdo attack, are believed to have had links to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. But Amedy Coulibaly, who attacked a kosher supermarket in Paris and demanded that police end their siege of the Kouachi brothers, pledged allegiance to ISIS. In Syria, ISIS and al Qaeda have become fierce rivals since they severed ties early last year. "I think the leadership of the two groups is not working together. And indeed, in many cases in Syria, they have fought each other," said Rep. Adam Schiff, a senior member on the U.S. House Intelligence Committee. "But outside of the theater of war, it certainly appears that those collisions and conflicts are less important to some of the people who are radicalized." "In France, as in probably the United States, Europe and elsewhere, you have people that have a closer affinity to one or the other," he told CNN. "Some have been just radicalized online, and maybe the message of ISIL and the caliphate resonates more," Schiff said, using another acronym for ISIS. "Others may have actually received training or support from AQAP, as may have been the case with the Kouachi brothers. And plainly, they don't have a problem working together overseas to attack Western targets." The European counterterrorism official told Cruickshank that the possible shift by ISIS to direct attacks in Europe was partly the result of increased competition between ISIS and al Qaeda affiliates, including Khorasan, to be seen as the standard bearers of global jihad. Are the Belgian raids connected to the Paris attacks? CNN affiliate VTM reported that the terrorism investigation in Belgium started weeks ago, and there has been no connection established with the Paris attacks. The three people targeted in the raid in the city of Verviers, in which two of them were killed, had been under surveillance for some time, said Belgian prosecutors' spokesman Thierry Werts. A Western intelligence source told CNN that the Paris attacks played a role in accelerating the timing of the Belgian operation. That included the arrest of a Belgian arms dealer suspected of providing weapons to Coulibaly. Belgian investigators questioned the arms dealer and searched his possessions, the source said. Through him, the investigators got a number of "positive hits" on suspected extremists already known to authorities. After the Paris attacks, the source said, investigators stepped up the urgency. How big is the challenge facing security agencies? European officials have been warning for months about the unprecedented challenge posed by fighters returning from Syria. More than 3,000 Europeans have left to fight in Syria in recent years. The total number who have returned to Europe is now estimated to be over 500, according to Cruickshank, including 250 who have returned to the United Kingdom, almost 200 to France and around 70 to Belgium. An indication of the potential threat came last year in the deadly shooting at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, Belgium. The suspect in that case is Mehdi Nemmouche, a French citizen who has also been accused of helping to guard ISIS' Western hostages in Syria. Nemmouche was arrested in France and extradited to Belgium to face trial over the museum shooting. He has denied the charges. But the sheer number of Europeans returning from Syria, as well as those suspected of other jihadist activities, makes the task of identifying who is a threat very difficult for law enforcement agencies. "If there are literally hundreds of people going back to Western Europe, the ability of the police to literally sit on everybody becomes problematic from the standpoint of having the manpower," said Michael Chertoff, who was secretary of homeland security under President George W. Bush. CNN's Susannah Palk contributed to this report.

Ronald Koeman believes Alan Pardew has turned Crystal Palace into a much tougher side than the one Southampton so easily overcame a month ago. Saints' 3-1 triumph at Selhurst Park on Boxing Day proved the catalyst for change in south London. Neil Warnock was promptly sacked by the struggling Eagles, who head into Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round tie at St Mary's riding the crest of a wave. Alan Pardew left his post at Newcastle United earlier this month to replace Neil Warnock at Crystal Palace . Jason Puncheon scores for Crystal Palace during a 3-2 comeback win for Pardew's side away at Burnely . Southampton boss Ronald Koeman has heaped praise on Pardew for the turnaround he has overseen . The appointment of Pardew has brought with it an impressive change in fortunes at Palace, with their former player overseeing three successive wins in all competitions. 'They have a spirit in the team, the confidence and they have had a great start (under Pardew),' Koeman said of Palace. 'The first win (against Dover) was normally an easy FA Cup round for them, but the first victory in the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur gave everybody confidence. 'At the moment they are more difficult to beat than over Christmas on Boxing Day. 'They have new players and a new manager and that always means some changes in tactics or organisation in the team and I think the manager is more happy than he was before, and that's important.' Crystal Palace forward Dwight Gayle has been in superb form for The Eagles since Pardew took over . Pardew, who spent four years as a player at Selhurst Park, has proved very popular with Eagles fans . Palace sit 13th in the standings ahead of Pardew's trip to the club he led to the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in 2010. Jose Fonte started that 4-1 defeat of Carlisle and will captain Saints this weekend as they continue their campaign to reach Wembley for the first time since then. 'I am lucky,' Koeman said. 'I don't have a lot of numbers of players to think about to make changes. 'The players who wasn't available in the last week are still not available for this weekend. 'That means we have 17 or 18 players and of that 17 or 18 players we have already five or six Under-21 players. 'There is no time and no reason to think about making changes and we will put out the strongest team we can.' Southampton's 2-1 win against Newcastle last weekend extended their unbeaten run to eight games . Toby Alderweireld, Victor Wanyama and Morgan Schneiderlin are among those unavailable, joining long-term absentees Sam Gallagher and Jay Rodriguez in the treatment room. International commitments mean Sadio Mane, Emmanuel Mayuka and Maya Yoshida further reduce numbers, but Saints do have the momentum of a eight-match unbeaten run on their side and a sell-out St Mary's crowd. 'We had some days off this week, we didn't play during the week,' Koeman said. 'The players are back in a good freshness and in a mental way I think the players are very strong because we are winning. 'We had a great week last week with very good results in difficult games and we like to go on.' Victor Wanyama tackling Manchester City's Yaya Toure during the Premier League game in November .

Faileigh Cooper, 23, allegedly resorted to fraud to pay for liposuction and lip enhancements. When questioned about the invalid payments, she claimed the surgery had left her with a burnt arm so she was considering legal action, Southwark Crown Court heard. Accused: Faileigh Cooper, 23, arrives at Southwark Crown Court with a friend. She allegedly resorted to fraud to pay for liposuction and lip enhancements . The part-time model went to the top clinic in Wimpole Street in central London for consultations on the treatment before handing over a £500 deposit. After the treatment was carried out, Cooper and a man only known as ‘Aaron’ then repeatedly called the surgery to pay the remaining balance, with £5,250 coming from the stolen cards. Prosecuting Bartholomew O’Toole said Cooper had hoped to improve her image for her modelling career. ‘What this case is about is using someone else’s credit card without their authority with a view to use that card to the extent of thousands of pounds,’ he said. ‘The background of this case was in the early part of 2011, when Miss Cooper decided to have cosmetic surgery. ‘She had made enquiries to a surgery . about having liposuction and lip enhancements at a clinic called the Dr .

The prosecution said after meeting with Dr Alex Chambers, who later treated her, she decided on the procedures which were going to cost £6,850. ‘She was or is planning to do some modelling, which no doubt meant that her appearance was important to her,' said Mr O' Toole. ‘She . initially paid an £500 deposit, and then made the rest of the payments . using credit cards, mostly or indeed exclusively on the phone,' he added. Cooper . and ‘Aaron’ called the surgery 14 times between February 21 and . February 23 last year using both legitimate and fraudulent cards to pay . off the balance . ‘A number of payments were made lawfully, and the crown say that the sum of £5,250 was made unlawfully without the authorisation of the card owners William Churchill and Constance Logan,' said Mr O' Toole. The clinic was later informed that the card payments were fraudulent, leaving them out of pocket. Police were informed and Cooper claimed in her interview: ‘The surgery burnt my arm and I wasn’t very happy, and I was thinking of taking them to court.’ Mr O’Toole added: ‘The clinic had not heard one part of her claim. ‘When asked about Aaron she said that she was seeing him, but he was not her boyfriend, and she had met him less than 20 times after meeting him in a club. ‘She did not remember which club, know his surname or where he lived. ‘She said that she thought they were Aaron’s (credit) cards 100 per cent, and that she was desperate for the operation. Cooper, of Battersea, southwest London, denies four counts of fraud. The trial continues. Practice: The clinic she attended is in London's Wimpole Street .

Police defended the actions of a father who infamously beat a man into a 'bloody puddle' after walking in on him sexually molesting his 11-year-old son as the suspect made his first court appearance Monday. Raymond Frolander, 18, was taken to a hospital before being taken to the closest police station, and his still-swollen face has shown very few signs of healing from the merciless beatdown he received only days ago. Frolander was conscious, but still covered in bruises and with a swollen face as he pleaded not guilty to sexual battery on a child after he admitted to molesting the boy for years. Scroll down for audio of 911 call . Beaten down: Raymond Frolander was barely recognizable in his first court appearance after the savage pounding . The father has not been charged with a crime, and police sound as if they believe his actions were justified. 'Dad was acting like a dad. I don't see anything we should charge the dad with,' Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood told WFTS. 'You have an 18-year-old who has clearly picked his target, groomed his target and had sex with the victim multiple times.' A subsequent mugshot showed that . Frolander had been badly beaten around the face, leaving him with . swollen lips and eyes, bruising and lacerations. When the 911 responder asked the father if any weapons were involved, he said: 'My foot and my fist'. The 35-year-old man, who has not been identified, told a 911 dispatcher in the early hours of Friday: 'I just walked in on a grown man . molesting [name redacted]. And I got him in a . bloody puddle for you right now, officer.' Police arrived at the Daytona Beach home in Florida to find Frolander unconscious. Raymond Frolander, 18, (pictured in his mugshot) was beaten to a pulp by the father of the 11-year-old boy that he allegedly caught his sexually assaulting at a home in Daytona Beach, Florida . 'He is nice and knocked out on the floor for you, I dragged him into the living room,' the father said. 'Send an ambulance. He is going to need one.' The dispatcher asked: 'Is he still unconscious?' to which the father responds: 'Yes... I hit hard, sir.' He said that Frolander was a 'damn lucky boy that I love my God'. The father added: 'He stood up and his pants were around his ankles and nothing else needed to be said. I did whatever I got a right to do except I didn’t kill him.' The father had left his home around 1am to pick up some food and when he returned, heard a strange noise coming from the bedroom, police said. He pushed open the door and allegedly found Frolander with his pants down performing a sex act on the child. Frolander, 18, admitted to the abuse on the 11-year-old, according to his arrest affidavit. He is being held without bail on charges of sexual battery . The boy told investigators he had been playing video games with friends but when they left, Frolander took him to a back room and pulled down his pants. He also said Frolander had been abusing him for three years. Daytona Beach police chief Michael . Chitwood told MailOnline today that Frolander had a close family . connection to the alleged victim. The chief said the young boy was intimidated and told by Frolander that terrible things would happen if he revealed the abuse. Chief Chitwood said: 'He's 11 years old, he should be running around outside and playing video games, not dealing with something like this.' The father was not charged in the suspect’s beating, police spokesman Jimmie Flynt said. Frolander was taken to Halifax Heath Medical Center where he was treated for his injuries. The arrest affidavit said that Frolander admitted the abuse. The teen was charged with sexual battery on a child under 12 and is being held without bail. It was not known whether he's hired a lawyer.

By . Jonathan O'Callaghan . Fossils of a 410 million-year-old arachnid - one of the first predators on land - have been used to recreate what the animal might have looked like when walking. Researchers used exceptionally preserved fossils from the Natural History Museum in London to create the animation. And in so doing they managed to show the most likely walking gait of the animal, which was thought to be only a few millimetres long. Scroll down for animation . More than 400 million years after it became extinct, scientists have recreated one of the planet's earliest predators. Researchers at the University of Manchester and the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin used CGI to recreate the walk of a now extinct ancestor of the spider. Illustration pictured . The study was published in the Journal of Paleontology and carried out by The University of Manchester and the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin. The scientists used the fossils - thin slices of rock showing the animal's cross-section - to work out the range of motion in the limbs of this ancient, extinct early relative of the spiders. This arachnid, Palaeocharinus, was part of a spider-like group known as Order (type) Trigonotarbida. These . were spider-like animals that roamed Europe and North America, as well . as Argentina, from around 419 and 290 million years ago. They ranged in size from a few millimetres to a few centimetres in body length. Most were predators, and later species were heavily armoured. From this, and comparisons to living arachnids, the researchers used an open source computer graphic program called Blender to create the video showing the animals walking. This particular arachnid was known as . Palaeocharinus of the extinct Order Trigonotarbida that roamed from around 419 and 290 million years ago. 'When it comes to early life on land, long before our ancestors came out of the sea, these early arachnids were top dog of the food chain,' said author Dr Russell Garwood, a palaeontologist in the University of Manchester's School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences. 'They are now extinct but, from about 300 to 400 million years ago, seem to have been more widespread than spiders. 'Now we can use the tools of computer graphics to better understand and recreate how they might have moved - all from thin slivers of rock, showing the joints in their legs.' The . scientists used the fossils to work out the range of motion in the limbs of this . ancient, extinct early relative of the spiders. From . this, and comparisons to living arachnids, the researchers used an open . source computer graphic program called Blender to create the video . showing the animals walking in the animation above . These eight-legged creatures were one of the earliest to walk the land, dominating the food chain while the ancestors of humans were still swimming in the primeval swamp. Pictured is an X-ray of the 410 million-year-old arachnid fossil from London's Natural History Museum . Co-author Dr Jason Dunlop, a curator at the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, said: 'These fossils - from a rock called the Rhynie chert - are unusually well-preserved. 'During my PhD I could build up a pretty good idea of their appearance in life. This new study has gone further and shows us how they probably walked. 'For me, what's really exciting here is that scientists themselves can make these animations now, without needing the technical wizardry - and immense costs - of a Jurassic Park-style film. 'When I started working on fossil arachnids we were happy if we could manage a sketch of what they used to look like; now we can view them running across our computer screens.' This work is part of a special collection of papers on three-dimensional visualisation and analysis of fossils published. Dr Garwood added: 'Using open-source software means that this is something anyone could do at home, while allowing us to understand these early land animals better than ever before.' Pictured here are a sequence of images from the video showing how the arachnid walked. 'For me, what's really exciting here is that scientists themselves can make these animations now, without needing the technical wizardry - and immense costs - of a Jurassic Park-style film,' said Dr Dunlop .
Researchers from Manchester and Berlin have brought an arachnid to 'life' The extinct animal was one of the first predators to walk on land . A video was recreated from fossils of the 410 million-year-old creature called Palaeocharinus, which was a few millimetres in length . This shows how the critter was believed to have walked on the ground . Around 300 to 400 million years ago, the creatures were thought to have been more widespread than spiders .

(CNN) -- It wasn't until December 6 that Latinos could access CuidadoDeSalud.gov -- the extremely delayed and poorly translated Spanish version of HealthCare.gov. The thrown-together Spanish website has been a thorn in the President's side with the Latino community. It's no surprise that support for Obamacare has waned among Latinos. A Pew Research poll found that last year disapproval of Obamacare among Hispanics increased 11 points from September 2013 to December 2013. The White House is worried. Not enough Americans are signing up for Democrats' misguided health care law. And that means more problems -- most notably higher costs -- could be on the horizon. So the administration is scrambling in the final three weeks of the enrollment period to sign up enough people to make the health care law work. Yet the White House is ignoring an inconvenient truth: Obamacare is hurting far too many of our friends and neighbors in the Latino community. The problems go far beyond the demeaning and sloppy cuidadodesalud.gov. One of the biggest fears the White House has is the low enrollment of millennials. Sixty-five percent of Latinos in this country are 22 to 35 years old, they are key to the success of Obamacare. If enough of them don't sign up for insurance plans, individuals may expect to face higher average costs. But millennials say they aren't signing up because coverage is unaffordable -- or doesn't make sense for them. Fusion, a new English-language Latino TV network, illustrated the trouble with the health care law when they interviewed a 28-year-old Obama supporter who says he won't sign up for coverage because "he'd rather spend the money on his business, rather than spend it on insurance he says won't even help him that much." Besides the affordability and enrollment problems for young people, our abuelos -- grandparents -- will be hurt by the new health care law as well. Due to Medicare reductions under Obamacare, Medicare Advantage is being cut. The National Medical Hispanic Association has called the payment cuts "disturbing" -- and rightfully so. Thirty-eight percent of Latinos with incomes of $20,000 or less enrolled in Medicare Advantage may face higher fees and fewer benefits. But the pain for our community doesn't end there. Across the country, Obamacare is bound to take a toll on some of the 2.3 million Hispanic-owned businesses and 1.9 million workers they help employ. The law has made it harder for businesses to hire more workers, and full-time workers have seen their hours reduced to part-time. Ruben Rivas, owner of a small business called H2Only Renewable Cleaning, told Telemundo, "There is no way we can pay or provide employees their health insurance, because there is no margin. If I do that, I have to close the doors -- then no one is going to work. Unfortunately, we are trying to convert our employees from eight hours to 5.5 hours (daily) as stated in the new law." Hispanics came to this country in search of the promise of individual freedom and opportunity, but Obamacare is undermining that promise. We do not need special sign-up programs or false assurances. We need real health care reform that actually expands access and lowers costs -- not "reform" that makes life more expensive. Join us on Facebook.com/CNNOpinion.

By the time we reach adulthood, our bodies contain 260 bones -  all working in unison to help us walk, grip, jump and move around. And now a designer has captured these complex joints and motions in a set of mesmerising GIFs, created using raw X-ray footage. The animations reveal how the hand and wrist, elbow, shoulder, knee, foot and ankle work. Scroll down for video . The GIFs were created by San Francisco-based designer Cameron Drake for his client Weiss Orthopedics. Mr Drake began by uploading the raw footage to a video editor and trimming the clips so they revealed the precise motions made by the joints. This GIF shows the movement of the hand and wrist . They were created by San Francisco-based designer Cameron Drake for his client Weiss Orthopedics. Mr Drake began by uploading the raw footage to a video editor and trimming the clips so they revealed the precise motions made by the joints. He then removed the individual patient details using Photoshop. Once the clips were selected, Mr Drake duplicated the frames so they played on a loop.

At birth, babies are born with 350 bones which gradually fuse together to complete the adult skeleton of 260. Bone is a honeycomb-like grid of calcium salts built around protein fibres called collagen. This image shows the range of the ankle as the foot points down and up. There are almost double the amount of bones in the foot, at 52, compared to the hand, with 27 . Elsewhere, the knee joint and movement is captured. It shows the hinge joint moving as the leg, consisting of the femur in the thigh, and the tibia and fibula in the lower leg, extend. This joint is protected by the knee cap, or patella . Bone is a honeycomb-like grid of calcium salts built around protein fibres called collagen. In one of Mr Drake's images, he captured the movements in the hand and wrist as the patient made a fist. There are eight small carpal bones in the wrist, bound in two rows of four bones each, while each hand has 27 distinct bones that help give it the wide range of motion. Another image captures the movement of the elbow, as its hinge joint moves the humerus in the upper arm, and the ulna and the radius in the forearm. The humerus is then connected to the scapula, or shoulder blade and the clavicle, or collarbone - as seen in the shoulder GIF. This image shows the movement of the shoulder.

(CNN) -- If you read the headlines this week about the the death of Judge Robert Bork, you probably took away that he will be remembered for his conservative judicial philosophy and losing a very contentious Supreme Court confirmation battle. You probably didn't read about the impact he made on modern media, and maybe even on the debate the Internet had about Instagram this week. But that's part of his legacy, too. Let's connect the dots from Bork to Instagram, shall we? 1. The Bork Tapes . President Ronald Reagan nominated Bork for the U.S. Supreme Court in 1987. During his confirmation hearings, an enterprising reporter found a list of the movies he'd rented at his local video rental store. You might imagine the reporter was looking for something among the rentals that could shed new light on the man. What turned up was a pretty ho-hum list of movies including lots and lots of Cary Grant and at least one middling Danny DeVito comedy. (The reporter's own back story on what he was looking for in procuring that rental list is slightly more nuanced -- it's a good read, which you can find here.) 2. The VPPA . Perhaps the biggest controversy about Bork's rental list was how deadly dull it was. But, who knows? Maybe some of those lawmakers had something to hide? Within a few short months of the hearings, the U.S. Congress passed the Video Privacy Protection Act -- VPPA for short -- a law that was written to keep video rental records private, but which still governs parts of our digital-media world. 3. Class action catnip . The crux of the law, and of the lawsuits that followed, is something called a "private right of action" and a tidy penalty for violating it. The VPPA allows individuals whose viewing history was shared to sue for $2,500 a pop. That's litigation catnip for class-action attorneys, who make a living collecting large groups of allegedly wronged people with something to gain from saying so. It was a clever way for lawmakers to ensure that people would abide by the law. (Now you really want to see those Congress-folks' lists, right?) 4. Goodbye, Beacon . The VPPA was the law that was used to shut down Facebook's controversial "Beacon" program in 2009. Beacon was a feature that powered messages in your news feed about your activities on other websites, a la "Sean just bought a diamond ring on Overstock.com!" Too bad it was an engagement ring, and Facebook spoiled the secret. Facebook relented after a class-action lawsuit involving exactly that kind of story -- a Facebook-foiled marriage proposal. The site first provided a way to opt out and eventually shut Beacon down altogether and coughed up a $9.5 million settlement. Beacon became a target because among the activities being shared was video viewing (in addition to diamond buying and lots of other things). More recent VPPA suits involve Netflix, Best Buy and Redbox. 5. Enter Netflix . Since then, as social networks have exploded in popularity and social media sharing has become de rigueur, just about any of us could flip open Facebook and see a stream of all the music our friends are listening to right this second. But because of the VPPA, you couldn't see the same thing for the movies they're watching. Companies like Netflix have been pushing hard to change that. Telling your friends what you're up to is, after all, the modern equivalent of word-of-mouth advertising. Netflix says its users want to be able to share which movies they're watching online with their friends, and has lobbied Congress to amend the law. This week, the U.S. House of Representatives approved an amendment to the VPPA that would allow individuals to opt in to sharing their online viewing habits. The Senate recently passed something similar, and all signs point to a change in the weeks ahead. OK -- bear with me here. We're almost to Instagram. 6. Looooong privacy policies . The amendment the House passed says explicitly that it is, indeed, possible to give your consent to share information about your video viewing via the Internet. Great. What it doesn't necessarily make clear, though, is exactly how to do that, and how a company that is sharing your information can make certain that you understand what you are agreeing to. What that means in practical terms is that most terms of use for social and digital media services are very long and exhaustive. It's in companies' best interest to tell you everything they possibly can about what you're consenting to, so they can't be penalized the way Facebook was in the Beacon debacle. 7. The Instagram revolt . Which is where Instagram comes in. The company announced Monday that it would be updating its terms of service to include new ways it could share and treat your personal information and content. Immediately, people began speculating about why Instagram might need these new disclosures, and what on earth it could be planning. Was it going to sell photos of your kids to advertisers, without even telling you about it? Yikes. Founder Kevin Systrom responded to the frenzy by saying, "We've heard loud and clear that many users are confused and upset about what the changes mean," and then tried to get more clear about what the legal documents mean. The language that most concerned users (apparently granting permission to sell images without notifying or paying the user) would be removed, he said. BONUS: What now? OK, so what does this mean for us? It looks as though the law may change, and soon enough you may be able to click a button and tell your friends what you're watching on Netflix. But it also means that terms and privacy policies for digital services may get longer and even more complicated as a result. So read those terms, folks. Especially if you think you might get tapped for the Supreme Court.
Judge Robert Bork, who died this week, has unlikely connection to digital media . After a reporter outed Bork's video-rental history, Congress made doing so illegal . That law shut down a Facebook sharing feature and helped prompt long terms-of-service . An Instagram TOS update spurred this week's user revolt .

By . Emily Hill . A look to dye for: Emma Watson turns heads as she takes her friend's dog Darcy for a walk after the treatment . Picasso had his rose period – and now so too does Emma Watson’s four-legged friend Darcy, after the Harry Potter actress headed out with a friend's dog, who was dyed a shocking shade of bubblegum pink. Thanks to a fashionable £90 treatment, the one-year-old bichon frise now has a look that might go down well  with pink-loving Hogwarts professor Dolores Umbridge – even if it has raised eyebrows among some animal-lovers. Ms Watson was spotted with the pink pooch on the streets of Bethnal Green, East London, on Friday, after Darcy had the dye treatment at Groom Dog City. Owner Stuart Simons said: ‘Pink is our biggest colour, but I do look after another bichon called Casper who comes in for a blue mohican.’ He said the beetroot-based semi-permanent dye is harmless. ‘All the dyes I use are completely animal-friendly. They are made from vegetable dye. 'I wet the dog, rub it on like a shampoo, leave it for five minutes and then wash it off. Because Darcy is white, it takes really well. 'She is a very calm dog, absolutely lovely, and she enjoys her groom.’ But TV vet Emma Milne said: ‘Dogs are not playthings; they are not dolls. If you are putting a chemical on a dog’s fur, you could cause that dog problems. ‘Even if the dye is completely safe – and the dye that Emma Watson has used should be absolutely fine – you are still altering the way the dog looks and smells to other  animals. Potentially, it could have an effect on the way that dog interacts with other dogs. ‘A dog is still a living object that hasn’t had any say on whether it wants to be pink.’ Unsurprisingly, Mr Simons – whose own dyed dogs have featured in campaigns for fashion house Mulberry – disagrees. ‘Lots of people say it’s cruel to dye a dog but I say, it takes no time, it doesn’t affect their skin and they don’t look in the mirror and go, “Oh, I’m so embarrassed.” Before and after: How Darcy looked prior to the treatment (left) and while walking in Bethnal Green, London, on Friday (right) ‘Rather, they get so much attention in public and all the strokes and interaction, it can’t be a bad thing.’ He also believes his salon will see a sharp increase in ‘doggy dyes’ during the Olympics. ‘Oh yes,’ he said. ‘I expect to get a lot of requests for red, white and blue. And I may be able to do the Olympic circles on poodles.’ Ms Watson, 22, later took to her Twitter page to reassure fans that the reason for the canine's bright colour was because her friend was raising money for Breast Cancer care. No shaggy dog story: The Harry Potter actress later took to Twitter to reassure fans that the dog's colour was a charity fundraising bid . However, the actress is not the only celebrity to have been spotted with a coloured dog. Amber . Heard, the actress romantically linked to Johnny Depp, has dip-dyed her . Yorkshire terrier cerise, while Victoria Beckham often has her . bulldog’s toenails painted a shocking pink.

Two Boston police officers were hospitalized after they were allegedly attacked by seven teenagers, all family members, in a Roxbury apartment complex when the officers tried to arrest one of them, authorities said Tuesday. Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said the officers, a woman and a man, were 'badly roughed up' in Monday's attack but were recovering. Both have since been released from the hospital. Their names have not been made public. Arrested: 19-year-old Woobenson Morisset (left) and his 18-year-old brother Lorcen Morisset (right), along with five others were arrested Monday after allegedly roughing up two cops . Arrest: The officers were allegedly attacked when they went to the apartment at 6 Wayne street on Monday morning and tried to arrest 19-year-old Woobenson Morisset on violating the terms of his release . Evans said he expects the two officers will be off work for some time. Mayor Martin Walsh said he does not believe the assault has anything to do with rising national tensions over police conduct following the killings of unarmed men in Missouri and New York City. The police commissioner agreed but added: 'It's troubling to me that all this animosity is geared toward our department because we work our hardest every day to make sure the streets of Boston are as safe as possible.' Evans said the officers were attacked when they went to the apartment at 6 Wayne street on Monday morning and tried to arrest 19-year-old Woobenson Morisset on violating the terms of his release in three pending cases. One case included a charge of assault and battery of a police officer. The Suffolk County prosecutor said Morisset is accused of punching an officer in December 2013 who was trying to arrest him for an attempted home break-in. Evans said Morisset, his 18-year-old brother Lorcen Morisset, and five others were arrested Monday. Violating terms of arrest: Woobenson Morisset and his other teenage family members allegedly roughed up two cops on Monday following an arrest . According to a police report, Morisset engaged in a 'violent fight' with officers before his family members got involved. The officers were 'kicked, punched and choked by numerous suspects.' Evans said the officers used pepper spray to fight off their attackers until other officers arrived, but they never drew their guns. The Morisset brothers pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two misdemeanor counts each of assault and battery on a police officer. The older brother was released on $500 bail; Lorcen Morisset was released on his own recognizance. Prosecutors say they will seek additional charges of felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. Before the arraignment, Lorcen Morisset told news reporters that the group didn't attack the two officers. 'That's a lie. We didn't touch them,' he said outside court. In custody: Lorcen Morisset (pictured left and right) was arrested on Monday after allegedly roughing up a cop along with his five other relatives . He said police began to beat Woobenson Morisset after the brothers asked the officers to produce the arrest warrant. He said he recorded the confrontation on his cellphone, which police seized. He said four of the teenagers hid in an apartment and were not involved in the confrontation. Asked about Lorcen Morisset's allegations, Suffolk County District Attorney spokesman Jake Wark said in an email: "With regard to those claims, the fact that seven co-defendants were sent to court while two police officers were sent to the hospital speaks for itself." The other teenagers - a 17-year-old boy and four girls, ages 13, 14, 15, and 16 - pleaded not guilty to assault and battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, and other delinquency charges in juvenile court Tuesday. A judge set bail at $500 for the 17-year-old and $1 for the other juveniles, with that amount to be posted only by their parents. The next court date for the five teens is February 12. The Morisset brothers are due in court March 12.

Iconic: President Barack Obama has been named as Time Magazine's Person of the Year for 2012 . President Barack Obama has been named TIME's Person of the Year for 2012, allowing him the honour for the second time in four years. The magazine cited the president's historic re-election last month as symbolic of the nation's changing demographics amid the backdrop of high unemployment and other challenges. 'He's basically the beneficiary and the author of a kind of new America - a new demographic, a new cultural America that he is now the symbol of,' TIME editor Rick Stengel said as he announced the choice on the Today show on Wednesday. 'He won re-election despite a higher . unemployment rate than anybody's had to face in basically 70 years. He's the first Democrat to actually win two consecutive terms with over . 50 per cent of the vote. That's something we haven't seen since Franklin . Delano Roosevelt.' The 'Person of the Year' accolade is given to the . person or thing that has most influenced the culture and news throughout the year for good or for ill. Obama . was named as Person of the Year in 2008, with Federal Reserve Chairman . Ben Bernanke, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg and 'The . Protester' filling the years in between. This . year, Obama edged out Malala Yousufzai, a Pakistani girl shot in the . head by the Taliban for advocating girls' education, for the honour. She . was named as runner up. Scroll down for video . Runners up: Apple CEO Tim Cook, left, and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi missed out on the honour . Shortlist: Obama also edged out Malala Yousufzai (pictured with her father and brothers), a 15-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating girls' education . 'Since October her message has been . heard around the world, from cramped classrooms where girls scratch out . lessons in the dirt to the halls of the U.N. and national governments . and NGOs, where legions of activists argue ever more vehemently that the . key to raising living standards throughout the developing world is the . empowerment of women and girls,' TIME wrote in a profile. Other finalists included Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi and Higgs boson physicist Fabiola Gianotti. In its latest edition and cover story, TIME explained its decision to name Obama as the winner. 'We are in the midst of historic cultural and demographic changes, and Barack Obama is both the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America,' the editors wrote. 'In 2012, he found and forged a new majority, turned weakness into opportunity and sought, amid great adversity, to create a more perfect union.' In a cover story, TIME's White House correspondent Michael Scherer explained the 'Obama effect'. Celebration: TIME said Obama 'is both the symbol and in some ways the architect of a new America' Popular: TIME added that Obama, pictured at a campaign stop in November, could not even get Republicans to find negative things about him 'because they liked him personally' 'It could be measured - in wars stopped . and started; industries saved, restructured or reregulated; tax cuts . extended; debt levels inflated; terrorists killed; the health-insurance . system reimagined; and gay service members who could walk in uniform . with their partners,' he wrote. Scherer added that after this year's election, Obama started working on a '40,000-foot' list of issues to tackle in his second term in the White House. The list included climate change, the soaring cost of college, electoral reform and prison reform. Scherer also spoke about his personal attributes - and how Republicans struggled to be negative against him. 'There was almost nothing that would stick to this guy, because they just liked him personally,' Romney deputy campaign manager Katie Packer Gage told the magazine. 2012 Barack Obama - President of the United States . 2011 The Protester - Those involved in demos from the Arab Spring to the 'Occupy' movement . 2010 Mark Zuckerberg - Facebook founder and CEO . 2009 Ben Bernanke - Federal Reserve chairman . 2008 Barack Obama - Then president-elect of the United States . 2007 Vladimir Putin - Then president of Russia . 2006 You - As a contributor to social media sites like Facebook and YouTube . 2005 The Good Samaritans - Specifically Bono and Bill and Melinda Gates . 2004 George W.

Attorney General Eric Holder has admitted that investigators may have gone too far in their recent attempts to prevent leaks to the media and he said the Justice Department needs to do a better job of balancing national security with press freedom. ‘I'm a little concerned that things have gotten a little out of whack,’ Holder told NBC on Wednesday. ‘I think we can do a better job than we have. We can reform those regulations, reform those guidelines to better reflect that balance.’ Holder has been embroiled in a media storm over a Justice Department subpoena of Associated Press phone records and, in particular, an investigation into leaks to Fox News correspondent James Rosen. Attorney General Eric Holder has admitted that the Justice Department needs to do a better job of balancing national security with press freedom . He said he was ‘not comfortable’ approving a search warrant affidavit for Rosen’s emails that characterized him as a criminal conspirator and would change the process. Although he approved some of the steps in the investigation, he said laws and regulations forced his hand and should be changed. ‘I don't like that, because it means me as official who has great respect for the press, is in essence saying a reporter doing his or her job and doing that important job is somehow branded a criminal,’ Holder said NBC. ‘I'm just not comfortable with that, we're going to change that.’ Holder had recused himself from the AP leak investigation and didn't personally sign off on that subpoena. Holder told NBC's Pete Williams that he has no intention of stepping down from his role as attorney general . Despite calls by some congressional Republicans for his resignation, Holder said he has ‘no intention’ of resigning now. ‘There are some things that I want to do, some things I want to get done that I have discussed with the president,’ Holder said. ‘And once I have finished that, I'll sit down with him and we'll determine when it's time to make a transition to a new attorney general.’ News emerged in May that Holder's agency secretly obtained phone records and emails from Associated Press and FOX News Channel journalists, in investigations targeting national security leaks. Neither news outlet was notified that the government was snooping on its personnel. Reactions from the establishment news media in Washington have ranged from annoyance to outrage, with the perceived threat to First Amendment press rights bringing a new level of aggression from many reporters about the other scandals facing the Obama administration. White House press secretary Jay Carney offered no direct defense of the Justice Department of Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, but quoted the White House chief of staff doing so in a New York Times article . Holder's hold on his position in Washington has grown tenuous in recent weeks. He . personally approved a search warrant application for emails and phone . records belonging to Fox reporter James Rosen, telling a federal judge . that his status as a potential criminal co-conspirator trumped the . government's legal requirement to alert Fox News in advance or negotiate . with the leading cable news network. The . attorney general also, however, told the House Judiciary Committee . during a May 15 hearing that, 'With regard to the potential prosecution . of the press for the disclosure of material, that is not something I’ve . ever been involved in, heard of or would think would be a wise policy.' Rep. Bob Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican who chairs that committee, has . confirmed that he is investigating Holder's testimony to determine . whether he committed perjury. Sally Buzbee (L), Washington bureau chief at The Associated Press, saw phone records from 20 of her employees fall into the federal government's hands. The DOJ also seized Fox News reporter James Rosen's private emails and some of his parents' private communications . Rep. Darrell Issa, who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Sunday on CNN that 'it would be kind to say he misled Congress.' 'It would be less kind and more accurate to say that would rise to be a lie by most people’s standards.' The Justice Department doesn't see it that way. 'The attorney general’s testimony concerning the potential prosecution of a member of the press,' a spokesperson said, 'was accurate and consistent with the facts' related to that leak case. Federal prosecutors, the spokesperson continued, never 'sought approval to bring criminal charges against the reporter.' Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has raised the specter of a perjury charge as one possible outcome of a congressional investigation into Holders testimony . White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough defended Holder in a statement on Saturday to The New York Times. Holder, he said through a spokesman, “has the intellect, experience and integrity to efficiently run the Department of Justice and not get distracted by the partisans who seem more interested in launching political attacks than cooperating with him to protect the security and constitutional rights of the American people.' Asked Monday during a scheduled briefing for a comment on Holder's ability to remain in his job, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney referred reporters to McDonough's statement, which he said 'spoke for all of us' in the White House. 'I couldn't say it any better,' Carney said.

The Army psychiatrist sentenced to death for the Fort Hood shooting rampage has been forcibly shaved, an Army spokesman said on Tuesday. Major Nidal Hasan began growing a beard in the years after the November 2009 shooting that left 13 dead and 30 wounded. The beard prompted delays to his court-martial because it violated Army grooming regulations. He was convicted of all charges last month at his court-martial at the Central Texas Army post and sentenced to death. Major Nidal Hasan, pictured before the 2009 Fort Hood shooting (left). He began growing a beard in the years after the attack. He has now been forcibly shaved, the Army said on Tuesday . Now, Hasan is an inmate at the U.S. Detention Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, home to the military death row. Lt. Col. S. Justin Platt, an Army spokesman, said in a statement on Tuesday that Hasan had been shaved. He did not specify when or provide details, however. Officials at Fort Leavenworth previously had said Hasan would be subject to Army regulations. Hasan dispensed with all criminal defense counsel and represented himself during his trial. A message left with John Galligan, Hasan's first criminal defense attorney who still represents him in civil matters, was not returned. Hasan said he grew the beard because his Muslim faith required it and was not meant as a show of disrespect. However, Col. Gregory Gross, the original judge presiding over Hasan's court-martial, ordered Hasan to be clean-shaven or be forcibly shaved before his trial. Convicted: In a court sketch from August 28, 2013, Hasan is pictured with a beard as he is sentenced to death for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood . The dispute over that decision led to appeals that delayed the trial by more than three months before the appeals court ousted the judge. The appeals court ruled that Gross did not appear impartial while presiding over Hasan's case and that the command, not a judge, is responsible for enforcing military grooming standards. Col. Tara Osborn, assigned to replace Gross as the judge presiding over the case, allowed Hasan to keep the beard for the course of the trial last month. However, she warned that although she would not hold the breach of grooming regulations against the 42-year-old American-born Muslim, the military jurors might. Memorials: Hasan, an Army psychiatrist and a U.S. citizen, was sentenced to death last week for the 2009 massacre .

(CNN)On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee kicks off the confirmation hearing for Loretta Lynch, President Barack Obama's nominee to replace Eric Holder as attorney general. The attorney general -- our nation's chief federal law enforcement officer -- plays a vital role ensuring laws and regulations are faithfully executed, while respecting and defending the rights of American citizens as well as the duties of each independent branch of government. Unfortunately, for the past several years, leadership at the department has often lost sight of this mission. Instead, it has engaged in a sort of constitutional gymnastics, contorting the intent of the enumerated powers to provide the President practically carte blanche authority for some of his more extraordinary executive actions. The Justice Department's lack of responsiveness to congressional inquiries on anything from "Fast and Furious" to the President's executive action on immigration has been a constitutional slap in the face to the American people. The Justice Department, like any other federal agency, must be accountable to the people. This requires transparency and cooperation with Congress. A renewed commitment to transparency and accountability at the Justice Department will depend largely on the actions of its next leader. The tone set by a new attorney general could be a turning point in the relationship between the department and Congress. As chairman, I intend to hold a fair and thorough hearing to carefully evaluate Lynch's qualifications and perspectives. While she has been confirmed twice as a U.S. attorney, she's never had a nomination hearing before the committee. Leading the Justice Department is a whole different ballgame, one with serious implications for a number of important national policy areas going forward. She'll be asked tough questions from all members of the committee, and her responses will provide valuable insight into what sort of attorney general she may be. This is Lynch's opportunity to make her case. The hearing is scheduled to last at least two days. On Wednesday, senators will be able to ask Lynch about her experience and her views of how the Justice Department should operate. The second day will be dedicated to testimony from witnesses selected by senators on both sides of the aisle. My philosophy as chairman is to provide members of the committee as much time as they need to question the nominee adequately, in a live setting. Vetting Lynch began weeks ago, shortly after her nomination. My office has been working to collect the necessary materials needed for a comprehensive review of Lynch's background. I appreciate that the Justice Department has been largely accommodating in the committee's requests for documents throughout this process. This week, as the Senate fulfills its constitutional duty to provide advice and consent, the American people will have the opportunity to learn how Lynch intends to lead the department, if she is confirmed. The country faces difficult challenges that the attorney general must meet head-on. It will take someone who has the right qualifications and experience to fill the job. I look forward to hearing Lynch's responses to our questions and evaluating her credentials for this important post.

Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany provided a decent reply when Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan offered him a sports cars and money to swap the north-west for north London this week. 'These days I play for glory,' said the Belgian. As quick witted as it was acerbic, Kompany’s Tweet made his point. The landscape has shifted in English football over the last five years. You no longer sign for Arsenal if you want to win the Barclays Premier League any time soon. Even the ever optimistic Kompany will find little glory in his own team’s predicament at the moment, however, as the City captain does his best to steady a defence currently looking as vulnerable as at any time since Arab money eased his club on to an upwards trajectory six years ago. Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany failed to deal with the threat of two-goal hero Seydou Doumbia . Belgium international Kompany, pictured with CSKA Moscow's Alan Dzagoev, struggled against the Russians . Manuel Pellegrini's side have not been at their best during this season's Champions League campaign . Kompany reflected on his side's performance shortly after the final whistle . Football is cyclical, of course. Few things at the really top clubs last forever and City have too many good players in their squad for their current struggles to last. Having said that, they are currently showing few signs of digging themselves out of a defensive slump that threatens to undermine their whole season. Manchester City have tried to pair Vincent Kompany with a number of centre backs during his time at the club but have had little success. The likes of Kolo Toure, Joleon Lescott and Stefan Savic have all been given a chance to hold down a starting berth alongside Kompany - but have all since moved on to pastures new. Eliaquim Mangala, who sealed a £32million move to the Etihad during the summer transfer window, had expected to bolster City's defensive options but is yet to impress. There are other issues currently afflicting this City team. Too many of their marquee players are lacking form. They miss a reliable third striker after the departure of Alvaro Negredo on the back of his wife’s homesickness in the summer. Nevertheless, the sickness that currently drags them down is undoubtedly their work without the ball, their defending. Even the best attacking teams need a platform on which to work and at the moment City just don’t have one. City were as poor as they have been for many years on Wednesday night in that area of the field and there would appear to be a self-belief issue. Confidence – that intangible sporting elixir – can hide a multitude of sins. Equally, when it leaves you it can turn very good players in to shadows of themselves. Look, for example, at the two first half goals conceded by Pellgrini’s team here. Kompany looked dejected after his side loss 2-1 against Champions League opponents CSKA Moscow . The Manchester City defender was not happy with the performance of referee Tasos Sidiropoulos . Martin Demichelis, pictured, and Eliaquim Mangala have taken it in turns to partner Kompany . The first – a free header from a free-kick – was the type of goal Sunday League defenders would go to the pub and fret about. The second, meanwhile, began with a botched clearance from Gael Clichy and ended with a run from CSKA forward Seydou Doumbia that was just too well-timed for the City left-back’s malfunctioning colleagues to do anything about. There were other horror moments, too. Between his two goals, Doumbia raced clear on Joe Hart with far too much ease. On that occasion he was let down by a poor first touch and a shot pulled across goal and wide. Then, shortly after CSKA’s second goal the talented CSKA midfielder Bebras Natcho turned away from Yaya Toure so effortlessly that it was embarrassing. Luckily for City, he couldn’t supplement that act with a pass of similar quality. Let’s not be too hard on Toure. The City midfielder has had a tough week and scored a sublime free-kick equaliser early in the piece. His subsequent sending off – as deserved as it was – was simply born of frustration. Former Porto defender Mangala has failed to live up to his £32million price tag . Piers Morgan took to Twitter on Tuesday to ask Kompany if he would join his beloved Arsenal . Morgan then joked he had withdrawn his offer after the Manchester City star's performance against CSKA . City lost their discipline here. Despite their numerical disadvantage, they could have chased this game down. They had enough quality left on the field. There is a distinct lack of joy about this team at the moment, though, and, it must be said, their manager is showing few signs of finding answers. We have all watched this group of players often enough over the recent months and years to know what they are really capable of. They can be a pretty fearsome, destructive force. At the moment, though, they look vulnerable and fretful and it is surprising. Certainly across the back it would help if Pellegrini could field a settled back four and in particular a regular central partnership. Injuries to summer signing Eliaquim Mangala – back on the bench against CSKA Moscow – and Aleksandar Kolarov have deprived him of that option, though, and for now he must muddle on. The Champions League looks beyond City already. If things don’t improve soon, the Premier League will follow suit by the time the Christmas trees go up. VIDEO Pellegrini defends City's discipline .

These remarkable images show some of the earliest known examples of what we these days might dub pornography. The Kangjiashimenji Petroglyphs, in Xinjiang, north-west China, depict an intense fertility ritual the likes of which is almost unique in the ancient world. That's because while most prehistoric art presents images that are abstract and disembodied, this tableau appears to explicitly present our sex-crazed ancestors in the midst of a wild orgy. Kangjiashimenji Petroglyphs: The first scene shows nine massive females, each about two metres high, dancing arond in a circle, while a second transexual figure on the left is partially reclining as if about to fall into a trance . The petroglyphs - thought to date back to the second millennium BC, although their exact age is difficult to determine - were discovered in the late Eighties by Chinese archaeologist Wang Binghua. Jeannine Davis-Kimball, an expert on Eurasian nomads, was the first Westerner to see them and detail them in scientific journals. Nevertheless they remain little known. One of her descriptions of the tableau is featured on the website of the Center for the Study of Eurasian Nomads, where she is currently executive director. The Kangjiashimenji Petroglyphs are . carved in bas-relief in a sheltered grotto, at the base of a massive . red-basalt outcrop in Tien Shan, about 45 miles west of Urumchi, the . capital of Xinjiang province. The . cast of about 100 figures, which range in size from more than nine feet . tall to just a few inches, are taking part in what is obviously a . fertility ritual. Almost all . are depicted in the same ceremonial pose, in which their arms are held . out and bent at the elbows with one hand pointing up and the other . pointing down. Location: The petroglyphs are carved in bas-relief in a sheltered grotto at the base of this red-basalt outcrop in Tien Shan, in Xinjiang, west China . 'In addition, human figures, floating heads, meandering dogs, static felines, and heraldic animals fill voids,' Dr Davis-Kimball writes. 'To the ancients each image most surely represented some aspect of the ritual.' It is believed that the larger-than-life hourglass figures that begin the tableau represent females, with their stylised triangular torsos, and shapely hips and legs. These figures wear conical headdresses with wispy decorations. Males, on the other hand, are depicted as smaller triangles with spindly stick legs, bare heads and mainly erect penises - dubbed 'ithyphallic' in archaeology speak. Many of the figures appear to depict transexuals combining both male and female features. Ithyphallic but wearing female headgear and chest decorations, they sometimes also wear masks and may depict shamans. 'In general, the figures are represented in a dance so intense that some have fallen into a trance or state of ecstasy,' writes Dr Davis-Kimball. 'Others are about to engage in sexual intercourse with the obvious intent of procreation as small embryonic images evoking chorus lines emphasise the significance of this act. 'The various animals add notes of ambiguity, yet provide additional clues to place the tableau in time and space and provide some historical basis.' She distinguishes eight separate scenes in the tableau, four of which are fully formed and the remainder of which appear to be sketches. Sex crazed: The second scene of the petroglyphs. It is believed that the larger-than-life hourglass figures that begin the tableau represent females, with their stylised triangular torsos, and shapely hips and legs . The first scene shows nine massive . females, each about two metres high, dancing arond in a circle, while a . second transexual figure on the left is partially reclining as if about . to fall into a trance. A 12-inch rock carving discovered in a cave in central Brazil is now the earliest-known art in the Americas. And with a phallus nearly as big as his arm, 'little horny man' is also testament that man was fascinated with his genitals even 11,000 years ago. The archaeologists who found the stick figure carving believe it is linked to a fertility ritual of the early residents of the region. They believe it could help shine light on exactly when prehistoric humans migrated to the New World. The carving was found in 2009 in Lapa do Santo -- a massive rock shelter where researchers from the University of São Paulo in Brazil had already dug up human bones, tools, ash from hearth and the ancient remainders of meals of fruit and small animals, according to Live Science magazine. The carving has been dated as being 9,000 to 12,000 years old. It is the only scene withoug ithyphallic men, although the transexual featured does have an erect penis. 'It . wears a female headdress with antenna and a “bra” ...' writes Dr . Davis-Kimball. 'Although its torso and legs are stylized as the male and . it is ithyphallic. 'Both arms, raised over its shoulders, have deviated from the normal dancing position. 'To complete the scene a single human head and two pairs of heraldic animals, probably goats — one pair markedly ithyphallic — are interspaced between the female dancers.' It is the second scene identified by Dr Davis-Kimball that appears to show the wildest orgy of all. In it sixteen figures - 10 female and six male - look set to begin having sex, with one particularly unusual one on the left wearing a monkey mask and probably representing a shaman. 'As it is ithyphallic it is also a bi-sexual representation and it appears that it about to copulate with a small female with splayed legs whose vulva is explicit,' she writes. Next to it is a headless male who looks like he's trying to have sex with another transexual figure. At the centre of the scene is another prominent transexual figure who appears about to have sex with a smaller female with splayed legs, whose private parts are quite explicitly rendered. Another large female figure seems to have two heads, and is positioned in the foreground as if leading the dance. Dr Davis-Kimball describes how it is stained stained red, 'perhaps suggesting heat'. Nearby, below the figure wearing the monkey mask, are a pair of ithyphallic striped feline animals surrounded by three bows which appear to have arrows which are about to be discharged. The third scene is smaller more . crudely rendered, containing nine figures, three female and six male, . all apparently about to have sex. Dr . Davis-Kimball identifies two images which stand out. 'First, the male . at the left with testicles and grossly exaggerated penis attempts to . mate with the second important figure, the adjacent female,' she writes. To this female’s left are three more males eager for their turn to have sex with her. Dr . Davis-Kimball adds: 'In this scene the importance of progeny is . emphasized with the portrayal of two rows of small anthropomorphic . figures.' The third scene: Many of the figures appear to depict transexuals combining both male and female features. Ithyphallic but wearing female headgear and chest decorations, they may depict shamans . Ancient: The final scene, which appears according to one writer 'a lot like a frat party'. It shows 14 characters, seven of which have erect penises, apparently in the midst of a frenzied dance . The final scene contains no obviously female figures at all, and one writer for Slate described it as looking 'a lot like a frat party'. It shows 14 characters, seven of which have erect penises, apparently in the midst of a frenzied dance. How they look in situ: Almost all the figures are depicted in the same ceremonial pose, with arms held out and bent at the elbows . Near the bottom is a single male, who appears to masturbating alone with a stream of babies emanating from his penis. Curiously for their location, all the figures presented in the Kangjiashimenji Petroglyphs appear to be Caucasoid, which fits in with other evidence which suggested the residents of this region of what is now China were nomads with European characteristics. Dr Davis-Kimball believes the tableau was probably some kind of storyboard for groups of cultic leaders that was used until about 850BC. '[This] interpretation of the tableau is reasonable as follows,' she writes. 'Many personages are represented, with about half being female (priestesses) and the other half being males (priests). 'Slightly more than half the males had assumed a bisexual gender role, being ithyphallic and cross-dressing as priestesses with high headdresses. 'All these personages are engaged in a ritual fertility/procreation dance with some engaged in symbolic copulation that would result in procreation. 'Lines of tiny images are, figuratively, the resulting progeny.' If she is correct, that makes ancient pornography rather more meaningful than today's. Where to find the Kangjiashimenji Petroglyphs .

By . Snejana Farberov . and Associated Press Reporter . What started out as a birthday celebration Friday night ended in a tragedy when a car heading down a dark, dead-end street in a desolate industrial area of Queens, New York, flipped over a wooden curb into a creek, killing four passengers. The driver was somehow able to escape the sinking vehicle and told officers at the scene in the Astoria section of Queens that his four friends were trapped in the submerged car. Police said the 2009 Honda Accord tumbled into Steinway Creek, a trash-strewn inlet off the East River, just after 10.30pm Friday. One birthday, four funerals: Crystal Gravely (left) was out celebrating her 20th birthday with her friends, among them Jaleel Furtado (right), 20, when their car jumped the curb and landed in a dirty creek in Queens, NY .

Deadly outcome: Police investigate the scene of an accident on a dead-end street where a car containing five people plunged into Steinway Creek in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens . End of the road: This photo shows Steinway Creek shortly after police recovered a 2009 Honda Accord from its filthy waters . Fire department divers pulled the four victims from the car. Police identified them as 21-year-old Darius Fletcher, 19-year-old Jada Monique Butts, 19-year-old Crystal Gravely and 20-year-old Jaleel Furtado. They were pronounced dead at area hospitals. Several of the victims' family members visited the scene Saturday morning. Jaleel Furtado's sobbing stepmother, Michelle, was comforted by police. The 20-year-old driver, Andrew Gramm, was listed in stable condition at Elmhurst General Hospital. A blood test showed that he had no alcohol in his system by the time he emerged from the creek and went for help. Police towed the mangled silver Honda from the creek this morning and deposited it on the pavement upside-down, just a few feet from the water's edge. They then flipped it back on its wheels and carted it away on a flatbed truck.

A Cincinnati man who pleaded guilty in the accidental shooting death of his 11-year-old daughter has been sentenced to six years in prison. Prosecutors say 34-year-old Deandre Kelley was drunk on January 12 when he fought with his longtime girlfriend and fired two gunshots into the air. One bullet hit their daughter Shanti Lanza, who had been hiding in an upstairs bedroom. Guilty: Deandre Kelley, the man accused of killing his 11-year-old daughter during a drunken shooting spree at their home will spend the next six years behind bars. Here he is pictured at a court appearance in January . Jailed also: Tina Lanza (center), the victim's mother, was one of several people who physically erupted with emotion and vocal outbursts when the judge read the length of the prison sentence. Here she is pictured at a court appearance in January . Accidental: Shanti hid in her bedroom as her parents argued and a stray bullet accidentally hit her . Character: Shanti was planning to attend the School of Performing Arts next year, and loved singing and dancing . Kelley pleaded guilty to one count of reckless homicide in an emotional hearing Wednesday in Hamilton County court. In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of involuntary manslaughter and endangering children, and a weapons count. Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters argued that Kelley arrived home intoxicated after 2 a.m. and Shanti's mother and his longtime girlfriend, Tina Lanza, forced him out of the house. Kelley then fired four shots into the air, Deters argued, one of which ended up in a second-story bedroom of the house where Shanti was hiding. The bullet struck her in the chest. 'This is the end of the road for this enabling,' Deters said after an earlier court appearance. 'He needs to be in jail and the rest of them should be looking in the mirror for the reason this little girl is dead.' Bad egg: Kelley has a lengthy arrest record and has been arrested for drug and alcohol charges . Reckless: Kelley drunkenly fired gunshots into the air, once of which hit his precious daughter . How it happened: Police say the 34-year-old Kelley fired shots into the air outside the house in January while arguing with the girl's mother and that one of the shots hit his daughters bedroom . Kelley has a lengthy arrest record and has been arrested for drug and alcohol charges. He also has been charged 3 times in 12 years with domestic violence against Kristina Lanza - with each charge later dropped. Kelley was convicted in 2003 for assault of two other people, . Kelley's attorney, Hugh McCloskey Jr., says that after talking the case over with the judge, his client realized that a six-year sentence was the best deal he was going to get. Kelley fired several gunshots with a brown revolver into the air, one of which entered the bedroom window of little Shanti Lanza, killing her. She died at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Lanza's three siblings were also in the home at the time of the incident along with some friends who were sleeping over. Violence in his blood: Kelley has been charged three times in 12 years with domestic violence against his long-time girlfrfiend and mother of his child Kristina Lanza . Antwone Kelley said his brother had left the family's home unaware that his daughter had been shot. 'He might drink a little bit but that was his child, that was his baby. He didn't mean to do this at all. He's more heartbroken than anybody,' he said. Shanti was found bleeding in her bedroom. She had been hit in the chest. She was the second of Kelley's children to be shot and killed. His son, David Gill, 16, died after a 2012 triple shooting. Their parents had been together for about 15 years, but had a troubled relationship, family members said. Kelley had been arrested for a domestic disturbance involving Shanti's mother in 2007. Vince Lanza, Shanti’s uncle, said: 'It was one of those relationships that they can't be together but they can't be without each other.' Kelley, facing more than 20 years in prison on the original manslaughter charge and other charges, was balking on a plea deal offering a six-year sentence, the minimum possible. Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier said prosecutors only offered the minimum because Kristina Lanza demanded the most lenient sentence possible for her boyfriend. During a break for Kelley to consider the offer, family members and friends of Kelley and Lanza argued aggressively with Piepmeier, saying the proposed six-year sentence for killing the girl was too harsh. Killed by a stray: Shanti was hiding in an upstairs bedroom whilst her parents argued. The bullet struck her in the chest and she bled to death . One husband and wife were kicked out of court; the wife, who created an uproar in the hall, was arrested. Tina Lanza was one of several people who physically erupted with emotion and vocal outbursts when Allen read the length of the prison sentence. She and Danielle Lott, who identified herself as Shanti's aunt, were held in contempt of court after ignoring multiple requests to tone down their behavior, Allen said. Both women will appear in court on Thursday for a contempt hearing. 'I've handled dozens and dozens of child murders in my career,' prosecutor Piepmeier said. "This is the first time I've ever had the mother of a murder victim tell me we're treating the person that killed her child too harshly. 'It just makes you scratch your head sometimes, makes you wonder where people are coming from.'
Deandre Kelley pleaded guilty to manslaughter over Shanti Lanza's death . 34-year-old fired four shots in the air during fight with girlfriend . One bullet struck Shanti in the chest as she hid in her bedroom . Her mother and aunt were also was jailed after she loudly objected to Kelley's six-year prison sentence as being too stiff .

Two care home workers have been arrested on suspicion of ill-treatment and neglect following the ‘unexplained’ death of an elderly resident – the second in days. A 43-year-old man and a girl of 19 were quizzed by detectives over the death of a 93-year-old woman at Birdsgrove Nursing Home in Bracknell, Berkshire, on February 8. It came days after an 86-year-old woman died at the home on January 31. Police arrested two care home workers after 83-year-old and 93-year-old residents died within days of each other . Police said they are not linking them, but because the two women died within days of each other they have launched a joint investigation with health and safety, health watchdogs and council officials. The staff members were arrested and questioned on suspicion of neglect under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and were released on bail until March 8. A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said no other arrests had been made but the investigation was ongoing. Emergency measures have been put in place to make sure there are no risks to other residents at the home, which was criticised in a report by watchdogs two years ago. Detective Sergeant Richard Johnson, from Thames Valley’s protecting vulnerable persons unit, said: ‘The deaths are being treated as unexplained at this time and it is important to stress that although they both involve residents of Birdsgrove Nursing Home, we are not currently linking them.’ Both women died in hospital, it is understood. The home, run by Aster Healthcare, has 76 single rooms and two double rooms in a converted domestic home and two extensions. It provides 24-hour care for the elderly and has a self-contained dementia care unit with 20 beds. A 43-year-old man from Hillingdon, west London and a 19-year-old woman from Bracknell, were questioned and released on bail . Last month an elderly resident was taken to hospital after part of the ceiling collapsed, causing a piece of plaster to hit her on the head. In 2013, the Care Quality Commission launched an unannounced inspection after concerns were raised and ordered the home to improve. It found Birdsgrove was failing in areas including staff training and record keeping and found residents were at risk of malnutrition and dehydration. A report said staff had not been trained how to help those with swallowing difficulties – a common symptom of dementia – or on how to reduce the risks of choking. ‘This meant people were not protected from the risks of inadequate nutrition and/or dehydration,’ the report said. Inspectors also found that many staff had not received food hygiene training. Police, Bracknell Forest Council, the Health and Safety Executive and the health regulator, Care Quality Commission (CQC), began a joint inquiry after the deaths, but police say the deaths are not being linked . A follow-up inspection the same year found the home was meeting all five of the regulator’s safety standards following a number of changes. Relatives yesterday told of their shock at the arrests. Albert Boyling, 85, from Bracknell, whose 82-year-old wife is a resident at the home, said he was spoken to by police and asked if anything ‘weird’ was happening there. He said frail and elderly residents were often left to wander around the building alone but said that, overall, his wife was happy. The CQC said it was working closely with other organisations in response to the ‘tragic’ incidents and warned further action would be taken to protect residents if needed. Adrian Hughes, the watchdog’s deputy chief inspector in the South, said: ‘Measures have been put in place to ensure there are no further risks and we will continue to monitor the situation and if necessary take action to protect the safety and well-being of those living at the home.’ Aster Healthcare, which runs five other care homes, declined to comment yesterday.

By . Laura Collins and Associated Press . PUBLISHED: . 11:12 EST, 14 November 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 11:12 EST, 14 November 2012 . The New York nanny accused of stabbing to death two children she cared for has has been indicted on murder charges today. Six-year-old Lucia Krim and her two-year-old brother, Leo, were killed on October 25 in their Upper West . Side apartment in Manhattan. Their mother Marina Krim found them in a pool of blood in the bathtub when she came home with the victims' three-year-old sister. The nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, remains hospitalized with self-inflicted stab wounds. It is unknown if the 50-year-old, who had housing and financial problems, has a lawyer. Charged: Nanny Yoselyn Ortega, pictured with Lulu Krim, right, and Nessie, left (who was not in the apartment during the attack), has been charged in their murder . Ortega is expected to be arraigned via video. A hearing has not yet been scheduled, according to court documents. It . was revealed last week that on hearing Mrs Krim's screams, the . building's super ran to the family's apartment - with his young son . trailing behind him to confront the horrific scene. As Marina cradled her surviving daughter, Nessie, the father and . son witnessed Ortega apparently attempt to inflict a fatal wound across her throat. Her . wrists had already been slit. Removal men packed up boxes of . the Krims' belongings at the home last week. Sources have suggested the family will not . return to the apartment where Lucia and Leo were . killed. Ortega, Lucia and Leo had been due to meet Mrs Krim and Nessie at a dance studio, but the mother became concerned when they failed to turn up and returned to the home. After learning from the doorman that the . nanny had not left the building, Mrs Krim frantically searched the . apartment and came across the grisly scene in the bathroom. Loss: Lulu and Leo, pictured, each had multiple stab wounds and were pronounced dead in hospital . Happier times: Marina and Kevin Krim, pictured at a 2009 event at Tavern on the Green in Central Park . Ortega's suicide bid failed and she was put in a medically-induced coma. She has now been brought out of this and charged with murder. When . questioned by police for the first time last Saturday, the nanny attempted . to paint Mrs Krim in a bad light, shifting part of the blame for the . tragedy on her. Ortega, who had told neighbors and family that she was short of money, revealed she resented her employers because they kept telling her what to . do and asked her to do the housework. 'She said . something like, "I'm paid to watch the children, not clean up and do . housework",' a law-enforcement source said of Ortega’s statements to . police after she woke from the coma. Father: Kevin Krim recounted the magical Manhattan childhood of his two lost children, the happy memories they accumulated before, police said, their trusted nanny murdered them . Family: Lulu is pictured with her father Kevin Krim and mother Marina Krim, who found her children stabbed in the bathtub and their nanny with a slit throat and wrists on the bathroom floor . Yoselyn became extremely animated . when she discussed the incident with police, telling officers that  she . had numerous disagreements with mother . Marina about how the kids were being cared for. Ortega waived her right to have a lawyer . present during questioning when she ominously told the detective, ''Marina knows what happened'', a source told the New York Times. Reports claimed Marina didn't think . Yoselyn was interacting with the kids enough and was giving them junk . food. The Krims were also reportedly worried . about Ortega's job performance in the weeks leading up to the killings . and had told her that if she didn't improve, they might need to replace . her. But the Krims' extended family dispute . they treated her poorly, explaining that they paid for her to travel on . holidays and even visited her family in the Dominican Republic. In a brief interview this week, Karen . Krim, the slain children's paternal grandmother, said that they . continue to grapple with the horrific crime. Scene: The murders occurred at La Rochelle, a luxury prewar building on Manhattan's Upper West Side . Scene: Crime scene unit officials enter the luxury apartment building where the stabbings took place . 'Under the circumstances, we are all doing as well as can be expected,' she said. The family paid tribute to the murdered youngsters at Manhattan's Avery Hall on Monday. Breaking down in tears, Kevin . Krim recalled the happy days he and his wife Marina shared with their . children and asked that the lives of . their 'best friends' be celebrated rather than mourned. Krim, his wife and their surviving daughter, Nessie, have been in seclusion since the murders.

By . Emma Innes . PUBLISHED: . 05:39 EST, 11 September 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 08:55 EST, 11 September 2013 . A Cambridge graduate has decided to follow her dream of becoming a mermaid after recovering from an extremely rare brain tumour. Mairead Kelly, 25, has been training as an accountant for the last three years but when she’s not in the office, she is working as a professional mermaid. Ms Kelly, from Cambridge, said: ‘I chose to do it as I love swimming and I have been wanting to get into performing for quite a while. This seemed like the perfect opportunity - it’s something different and quite unusual. Mairead Kelly, 25, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2010. She has had two operations and is now fully recovered. After her treatment, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming a real-life mermaid . ‘I was pretty tentative the first time I got in the water because after two surgeries my nose and sinuses will never be the same, and I wasn’t sure how they’d react to the pressure of being underwater but it’s given me no problems.’ Ms Kelly was diagnosed with a rare benign tumour of the pituitary gland, known as thyrotropinoma, as she finished her final year of university in 2010. She had surgery in 2011 to remove the tumour but it started to grow back so she had to have a second operation in January this year, she has now made a full recovery. She explained: ‘I had lots of health issues when I was at university. I was really tired, my hair was falling out and I bruised really easily. ‘I did swimming because it was one of the only forms of exercise I could do. It has been really helpful in my recovery. ‘I’m stronger than I have been in years. I love swimming. Swimming underwater is very zen, the rest of the world is blocked out and everything is just calm and peaceful. Ms Kelly was diagnosed after she became very tired and noticed that her hair was falling out. She also found that her skin was bruising very easily. She was found to have a pituitary gland tumour . Ms Kelly (pictured recovering from surgery in hospital) says she was worried that her nose and sinuses would struggle with the increased pressure under water because of the surgery . Ms Kelly said: 'I definitely don't think my degree has been put to waste. People may perceive accountancy as a more worthwhile career to pursue after graduation, but I feel that both of my careers are valuable' ‘The motivation of wanting to perfect swimming in a tail and monofin in order to start performing underwater was also really important in helping me regain my strength.’ Ms Kelly has teamed-up with Frankie Dubery, a fellow Cambridge graduate, and friend Demelza Hillier, 25, and together they take to the water as a pod of mermaids. They train for up to ten hours a week in freezing lakes before dazzling crowds with their skills as they swim and sing at events across the country, including parties and black tie balls. Ms Kelly said: 'I'm stronger than I have been in years. I love swimming. Swimming underwater is very zen, the rest of the world is blocked out and everything is just calm and peaceful' When Ms Kelly is not performing as a mermaid, she works as an accountant. She says that both jobs are fulfilling in their own way . Ms Kelly (pictured as a mermaid on Brighton beach) believes that swimming has helped her to regain her strength after her illness . The trio have even been asked to perform for crowds as far afield as Australia and Ibiza. Known as Merlesque, they have been making a splash since the start of the year in their £3,000 silicon costumes complete with fins and scales. Ms Dubery, 24, said: ‘Sometimes people don’t believe me when I say I am a mermaid. Different people have different reactions. ‘It is quite interesting how different people’s reactions are - mostly people are really fascinated.’ Ms Kelly (right) set up a group called Merlesque with her friends Demelza Hillier (left) and Frankie Dubery (centre). They travel the country performing as mermaids at parties and events . To perform, the trio each wear a £3,000 silicon costume complete with fins and scales. They have been asked to appear as far away as Australia and Ibiza . Ms Dubery (pictured) said: 'Sometimes people don't believe me when I say I am a mermaid. Different people have different reactions. It is quite interesting how different people's reactions are' Ms Kelly, otherwise known as mermaid Ondine, has no regrets about choosing the unusual underwater role after graduating. She said: ‘I definitely don’t think my degree has been put to waste. ‘People may perceive accountancy as a more worthwhile career to pursue after graduation, but I feel that both of my careers are valuable in different ways. ‘The majority of people don’t directly use their degrees in their future professional life - they use the transferable skills you develop through completing a degree.’ A thyrotropinoma is a pituitary tumour that secretes a hormone called thyroid-stimulating hormone. An excess of this hormone caused hyperthyroidism which can be serious. Thyrotropinomas are very rare - they represent just one or two per cent of all benign pituitary tumours. Symptoms include irritability, nervousness, sweating, tremors, difficulty sleeping, weight loss, brittle hair and thinning of the skin. Treatment options include surgery to remove the tumour, radiation therapy and medication.
Mairead Kelly, 25, was diagnosed with a pituitary gland tumour in 2010 . She had been suffering from exhaustion, hair loss and was bruising easily . Had two operations to remove the tumour and is now fully recovered . She always wanted to be a performer so she and two friends now travel the country performing as mermaids at parties and events .

(CNN) -- Samsung plans to introduce a smartphone with a curved display screen, an executive of the South Korean company said Wednesday. D.J. Lee, Samsung's head of mobile marketing, made the announcement at an event in Seoul to roll out the Galaxy Gear smartwatch and Galaxy Note 3 smartphone. He said the phone would be available in October, presumably with a limited release in South Korea. Unfortunately, that's about all the detail he provided -- no exact release date, no details on the design, no price and no word on where it will be available. Curved screens are a rarity among smartphones, which typically feature flat, rectangular displays. But Samsung has been tinkering with next-generation screens for a while. Early this year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the company showed off prototypes of a line of flexible display screens it calls YOUM. "This new form factor will really begin to change how people interact with their devices and open up new lifestyle possibilities," Brian Berkeley, senior vice president of Samsung's display lab, said at the January event. "And it's only going to get better." In a video, they teased a smartphone with a bendable screen that opens up into a smallish tablet. Berkeley also demonstrated how a phone display screen that's curved along its edges would open up exponentially more space for viewing content. A bendable, plastic display screen could also be virtually unbreakable, although it's unclear whether the new phone -- which could be a version of the new Galaxy Note 3 -- would be plastic or some sort of step along the way. Samsung has made a Rolls Royce of a television, the $9,000, 55-inch KN55S9C, with a curved screen. And Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone, released in 2011, had a slight curve to its screen. But the new model will presumably take the concept further. "I'm expecting the company to aim for an even more extreme curve with its next phone," Devindra Hardawar wrote for VentureBeat. "With its large-screen Galaxy Note lineup, Samsung has shown that it isn't afraid to step into slightly oddball territory. The Note also proves those gambles can pay off for Samsung." A curved screen would also boost Samsung's status as a leader on the mobile innovation front. Samsung Galaxy phones have outsold Apple's iPhone during various periods over the past year, as Apple has been dinged by critics who say the company's phones are no longer breaking new ground. There were similar criticisms of the newly released iPhone 5S, which was viewed by many as a baby step forward, although reviews of the device have been mostly raves, and it sold a record-setting 9 million units in its first weekend on the market.

An elderly lady's hopeful campaign to bring out the best in a deprived road in Birmingham, dubbed Benefits Street, ends in failure after a lacklustre effort from neighbours and even threats of violence. Despite the enthusiasm of a local, known only as Sue, who enters notorious James Turner Street, Birmingham, into the Britain in Bloom competition, the community fails to impress the judges in an episode of the Channel 4 documentary to be broadcast this evening. Ahead of the competition, Sue told the cameras: 'I moved in 20 years ago, and older people said there was a queue to get into these houses. Scroll down for video . Campaign: Sue's hopes to bring out the best in those living in the street with a gardening competition failed . Hopes: The pensioner entered the notorious James Turner Street into the Britain in Bloom competition . In the spirit of things: One resident decked the front of her home with hanging baskets for the judges . 'Everyone had a tree in their front garden, and everyone was planted up.

But other elements were less able to draw the judges' praise, including Deidre 'White Dee' Kelly, 42, who declined to install any flowers, or her companion 'Black Dee', who wondered aloud why Sue was bothering. And, although the judges were not around to see it, immediately after Sue had shown them around the street the camera crews were confronted by two angry men.

In a ceremony shown at the end of the programme, it was revealed that James Turner Street had come eighth in the local round of the competition. The residents, however, seemed pleased with the achievement and celebrated in a ceremony at the village hall. Sue made clear that she would maintain her aspirations for the road - which she said was once extremely desirable - by entering it again next year, despite the difficulties caused by many of the residents moving to other properties so often.

By . Steve Doughty . PUBLISHED: . 19:57 EST, 26 September 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 20:01 EST, 26 September 2013 . Increase: The number of adoptions has increased 28 per cent in just two years (library image) Adoptions have risen to a 20-year high of nearly 4,000. The total has increased by more than 28 per cent in just two years following pressure from ministers to relax rules that excluded couples taking a child of a different race. Children’s Minister Ed Timpson said the increase was ‘hugely encouraging’. But charities warned that the adoption process is still taking too long, with the average time a child spends in state care standing at two years and seven months, a figure unchanged in five years. And the number of babies adopted before reaching their first birthday remained below 100. The figures, for the 12 month period ending in March,  showed there were 3,980 children adopted from state care, where they had been living either in children’s homes or with foster parents. Adoptions were up by 510 in a year and 890 since 2011. However, numbers of care orders have also risen by more than 10,000 since the Baby P scandal in 2008 encouraged social workers to remove more children from dangerous homes. According to the 2013 count, there were 68,110 children in care this spring – the highest since adoption records in their present form were started in 1992. Mr Timpson said: ‘It is hugely encouraging that the number of children adopted from care has risen to the highest level yet – but too many children are still waiting too long for stable, loving homes.  More needs to be done to recruit adoptive parents.’ Education Secretary Michael Gove, who was himself adopted at the age of four months, has led the drive to prevent children languishing in state care system. He says children in care are highly likely to fail at school and fall into crime and benefit dependency as adults. Mr Gove has tried to persuade social workers to push for more adoptions in the face of what some critics say is deep-seated prejudice against adoption in council children’s service departments. Positive: Children's Minister Ed Timpson, pictured with his wife Julia above, said the increase was 'hugely encouraging,' but there was still work to do to find many children loving homes . New rules say a child must not be denied adoption because the would-be adopters are not from the same ethnic or cultural background, and adopters should not be turned away because they are the wrong race, age or are too middle class. A spokesman for the Department for . Education said: ‘The Government is radically reforming adoption so that . children who are waiting to be adopted are provided with stable and . loving homes much more swiftly, giving them the opportunity to settle . and bond with their adoptive families.’ Acknowledging . concerns that some children would be better off returned to their . natural parents than adopted, the spokesman added: ‘Adoption is not the . right approach for every child. ‘We . are improving the skills of social workers so they are able to judge . what is best for each child and taking forward comprehensive reforms to . fostering services and children’s residential care.’ Radical: The Department for Education, headed by Gove who was adopted himself, have made several changes to the adoption process, including tackling the issue and rules surrounding mixed race adoption .

By . Sophie Jane Evans . Up to 49 per cent of British travellers who have never visited France think it is excessively expensive, according to a survey by Post Office Travel Money . British travellers appear to have made their minds up about France - even if they have never been across the Channel. Up to 49 per cent of people who have never visited the country feel it is excessively expensive, according to a survey by Post Office Travel Money. And of those who have been to France, only half believe it represents good value for money. The survey was carried out on 2,085 UK adults who had holidayed in a range of destinations across the globe. Turkey was found to be the best value-for-money destination - followed by mainland Spain, Greece and Portugal. Based on perception rather than actual visits, Bulgaria was seen to offer the best value - with Turkey, mainland Spain and Croatia also considered reasonably priced. But Dubai was ranked bottom of the list, with only 38 per cent of British travellers deeming it a good value-for-money destination. In terms of the destination to which most people would return, Turkey was voted top. Around two-thirds of travellers who had visited the country before declared they would go back. And 63 per cent of the people surveyed said they would return to mainland Spain. But - on a value-for-money basis - only 29 per cent would go back to Dubai, a third would return to France and just 40 per cent would make another trip to Italy, the survey found. Turkey was found to be the best value-for-money destination, while Dubai was ranked bottom of the list based on perception rather than actual visits. Above, the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai (left) and Antalya in Turkey (right) Researchers also discovered that despite setting aside an average of £552 in spending money, most travellers go over their budget by around £242. Andrew Brown, of Post Office Travel Money, said: 'Our new research shows the extent to which value is a determining factor in destination choice.

Victim: Leanne McNuff was killed in March this year after her ex-boyfriend learned that she had an abortion, a court heard . A soldier preparing to serve in Afghanistan stabbed his ex-girlfriend to death after he hacked into her Facebook account to find she had aborted their unborn baby, a jury was told today. Lance Corporal Ian Lowe, 25, kicked down the door to Leanne McNuff's home in Droylsden, Greater Manchester, before repeatedly knifing her, stamping on her face and leaving her to die on her landing floor on March 11 this year, a court heard. Miss McNuff's mother Margaret tried to save her daughter by stemming the flow of blood, but she died in hospital. Lowe, who was on bail at the time for . allegedly trying to throttle Miss McNuff while she was still pregnant, . had posted messages on Facebook shortly before the killing, the hearing . was told. One . read: 'Not even the army will help me out after all I have done for . Queen and country.' Another stated: 'Need a weapon out of armoury to . shoot the bitch'. Manchester Crown Court heard that the couple had been dating since 2006, but split up a month before the killing. After the break-up, Lowe warned Miss McNuff that he would 'make her life hell', the hearing was told. On . Valentine's Day, Miss McNuff learned that she was pregnant with Lowe's . baby and she rang him at his barracks in Catterick, North Yorkshire, where . he was serving in 1st Battalion, the Duke of Lancaster Regiment. 'She . made it clear that, although she didn’t want to resume a relationship . with him, she would not prevent him from seeing the baby when it was . born,' Neil Flewitt, prosecuting, told the jury. Killed: Leanne McNuff was repeatedly stabbed and stamped on by her former boyfriend, Ian Lowe, after he discovered she had terminated their unborn baby, a court was told . 'The defendant responded saying, if . they could not live together as a family, his life wouldn’t be worth . living and he would commit suicide.' Lowe was allowed home from base on compassionate grounds and, on arriving in Manchester, begged Miss McNuff to take him back. She agreed but said she 'wouldn’t kiss or cuddle him' because she 'no longer had feelings for him'. The . court heard that, when the pair met at Miss McNuff's home to discuss . the pregnancy on February 18, a violent row broke out during which Lowe . called Miss McNuff a 'prostitute' and accused her of 'sleeping around'. As . Miss McNuff tried to force him out of the house, Lowe is said to have . grabbed her by the thoat and begun 'shaking her from side to side'. Scene: Police at the house in Droylsden, Greater Manchester, where Leanne McNuff's body was found . In . a statement given to police at the time, Miss McNuff recalled: 'He’s . shaking me from side to side and I’m almost on the floor. 'I’ve lost my footing but being held up by Ian gripping my clothing and he’s shaking me about. 'Somehow, whilst he’s still ragging me about, I’ve twisted and he’s got hold of my hair. 'Now he’s got a grip of my clothing and a grip of my hair and he’s still shaking me about. Break up: Leanne McNuff and Lowe had been dating since 2006 but broke up a month before the killing in March this year . 'At . some point he’s let go of my jumper and his left arm has come around my . throat choking me and making it hard to breathe for a few seconds. I . was frightened to death. 'I didn’t know what was going to happen. I was scared wither he’d really hurt me or I’d lose the baby. 'Then Ian’s released me and pushed me to the floor. He’s gone to kick me. 'At first I think he was going to kick me hard but he held back and it wasn’t a very hard kick in my back. 'Then he’s picked up his bag and ran out of the gate.' Lowe was later arrested and charged with assault and was ordered not to contact Leanne under his bail conditions. But the court heard that, only an hour later, Miss McNuff rang police again to claim that Lowe had called her. The next day, February 20, Miss McNuff went in secret to an abortion clinic for a consultation. She terminated the unborn baby on March 1. Lowe found out about the abortion on March 10 - the day before the killing - when he hacked into Leanne’s Facebook account, the court heard. He wrote on his page: 'She tries to ruin my career, not only are you a benefit thief you are an oxygen thief as well'. A day later, he wrote: 'Just to let everyone know Leanne had aborted the baby. 'She did not tell me or even given me a say in the matter'. The court heard that Lowe then hacked Miss McNuff's Facebook account, falsely claiming she had slept with members of her own family. That evening, Lowe went for a drink with his father and a family friend who said he 'looked as if he had the weight of the world on his shoulders'. He is alleged to have killed Miss McNuff hours later. Lowe denies murder. The trial continues. Tributes: A policeman guards flowers left outside Miss McNuff's home following her death in March .

New York (CNN) -- A coalition of at least 40 religious and civic organizations Wednesday announced the creation of an alliance to show support for the Islamic community center and mosque proposed to be built near New York's ground zero. The group has launched a website -- nyneighbors.org -- and announced a candlelight vigil to be held at the site of the proposed center on the eve of the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attack. Members of the coalition gathered at a municipal building in Manhattan to announce the group's creation. Talat Hamdani, whose son was killed in the attack, told CNN on Wednesday, "The issue is not about location. It is about our rights as Americans." "All those people who died that day ... they were murdered for being Americans. We should honor those people who were murdered that day by living up to America's core values," Hamdani said. Even as some relatives of 9/11 victims showed support for the Islamic center's construction, others held their ground in opposing it. "This is nothing short of a provocation, an insult to the families of people who were murdered, whose bodies were scattered all across that site," said Debra Burlingame, the sister of the pilot whose hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon. She sits on the World Trade Center Memorial and Museum board of directors. "I've had families who have told us their PTSD has come back because of the idea of a mosque being built over where their loved ones died," she told CNN this week. "The idea of a mosque is horrific to them." She said Imam Abdul Rauf, who is behind the project, did not approach families of 9/11 victims, but she would welcome any discussion with him. "I would have told him, if he had come to us, that it would hurt people," she said. "This is hurting people who have already been deeply hurt." Rauf's wife, Daisy Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, told the Council on Foreign Relations on Wednesday the proximity to ground zero was never planned. "We were establishing the center in a neighborhood we were already in," she said. "It was our neighborhood. Nine-eleven was our tragedy as much as it was anyone else's tragedy." Khan said the voices of moderate, mainstream Muslims are being drowned out by extremists. "The center will combine the best of what it is to be Muslim and what it is to be American. ... The core values of both are totally compatible." On Tuesday, New York Gov. David Paterson met with Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan, who had offered to mediate in the situation. After the meeting, Dolan urged advocates on both sides of the issue to ratchet down their rhetoric. At an Iftar dinner marking the breaking of the Ramadan fast Tuesday evening, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg forcefully affirmed his support for the project. "We are Americans, each with an equal right to worship and pray where we choose. There is nowhere in the five boroughs of New York City that is off limit to any religion," he told an audience at Gracie Mansion that included the center's developer, Sharif el-Gamal. The Islamic center's leaders say plans for the $100 million facility call for a community center including a mosque, performing arts center, gym, swimming pool and other public spaces. It will be built on property the center already owns, two blocks from where the World Trade Center was destroyed by Islamic extremists on September 11, 2001. The attacks killed more than 2,700 people. CNN's Mark Norman and Ashley Fantz contributed to this report.
