Independent Regulatory Commission report: Suarez bite 'truly disgraceful

Suarez bite 'truly
disgraceful', says
Independent Regulatory
Commission report
The 18-page document also confirms
the 2006 case of then-Manchester
City defender Ben Thatche rwas not
used as a precedent when
considering the Liverpool star's suspension.
The Football
Association has
released the written
reasons that led to
the 10-game
suspension of
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez following
his bite on Branislav Ivanovic.
An Independent Regulatory
Commission, appointed by the FA, cites
Suarez's failure to appreciate the
severity of the incident as one of the
main thrusts behind the ban.
The 18-page document read: "It
seemed to us that Mr Suarez has not
fully appreciated the gravity and
seriousness of this truly exceptional
incident.
"The nature of biting an opponent is in
itself extremely shocking, unexpected
and truly exceptional. The incidents of
biting an opponent in football are very
rare at the moment and we need to
ensure that it will remain so.
"We also felt that the purpose of our
decision should not only be a
punishment to Mr Suarez for the
offence committed but must also be
sending a strong message that such
deplorable behaviours do not have a
place in football."
The commission also confirmed that
previous instances of violent conduct
cited in Suarez's statement were not
considered as this was an exceptional
incident.
"We wished to note that the case of
Ben Thatcher, of Manchester City, who
was charged with serious foul play in
2006 against Pedro Mendes, of
Portsmouth, as cited by Mr Suarez is
dissimilar to the violent conduct offence
we were dealing with for Mr Suarez," it
added, "and, therefore, did not take it
into consideration."
Past examples, it was stressed, were
not taken into account when deciding
the length of the ban. "We were also
aware that the rules, regulations and
practices have evolved and any
temptations to refer to historical cases
and sanctions would be wrong," noted
the report.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger fears rivals’ power to buy big in summer transfer window

follow @moshmustapha on twitter for more or like on facebook Mosh Byte

Arsène Wenger - Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger says rivals’ power to buy big in summer transfer window scares him Arsène Wenger has admitted he is scared that Arsenal may be outgunned again in the transfer market this summer, fearing that rivals Chelsea are to embark on a spree of epic proportions.


“I’m afraid of what Chelsea can do in the summer,” the Arsenal manager said. “We have to be prepared for them to be one of the biggest movers in terms of investment once the window opens.
“Even though they already have a great base to their squad, notably their young players such as Oscar, Juan Mata, Ramires and Eden Hazard, I think they will be busy during the window. We’ve heard a lot of talk about Falcao. Some people say it’s already a done deal but I’ve heard nothing.”
Wenger’s comments about his rivals strengthening came on the day his squad were weakened, for the short term at least, as he complained at the “harsh” decision to uphold Olivier Giroud’s three-match ban.

In an interview with the BBC Eric Schmidt indicated that Google Glass would not be commercially released to the public until 2014.
Despite Google co-founder Sergey Brin saying that he hoped the Glass would drop late this year, and initial rumours that the commercial introduction of Google Glass wasn’t to be expected until  2015, Schmidt seemed confident that Glass would officially appear  in early 2014.
“Well, the developers are beginning now. It would be fair to say that there will be thousands of these in use by developers over the next months and based on their feedback we’ll make some product changes and it’s probably a year-ish away,” he said.

Manchester United win 20th English Premier League Title

follow @moshmustapha on twitter for more or like on facebook Mosh Byte







9030561885727262.jpg

Fuelled by money from the Middle East, Manchester City was supposed to have ushered in a new period of dominance in English football last season after capturing its first league title in nearly half a century.
Manchester United had other ideas.
Just like Arsenal and Chelsea previously, City has discovered to its cost that United loves nothing more than hitting back when its hegemony is challenged.
The noisy neighbors — as Alex Ferguson likes to call City — have been well and truly quietened.
To many, this isn’t a vintage United team compared to the swashbuckling treble-winning side of 1998-99 and the Cristiano Ronaldo-led line-up from 2007-08. Too many players — Wayne Rooney, Nemanja Vidic, Antonio Valencia, Paul Scholes, Ashley Young among them — have struggled this season, critics say. It’s been more grit than glamor.
The statistics say otherwise.
The title-clinching 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Monday kept the team on course for the highest points tally in history of English topflight football, beating Chelsea’s haul of 95 from 2004-05. That will be secured if United wins its final four games.

President Obama said on Tuesday the FBI is investigating the Boston Marathon bombings as an “act of terrorism,” but authorities don’t know who did it or why.

“This was a heinous and cowardly act,” Obama said at the White House.

“Any time bombs are used to target civilians, it is an act of terror,” Obama said from the White House briefing room.

CZESTOCHOWA, Poland (AP) — A giant statue of the late Pope John Paul II billed as the world's tallest has been unveiled in southern Poland.

Archbishop Waclaw Depo unveiled the statue of the Polish pontiff Saturday in the southern city of Czestochowa, the home of this predominantly Catholic nation's most famous pilgrimage site, the Jasna Gora monastery.
The white fiberglass figure rises about five stories, or nearly 14 meters (more than 45 feet), on a hill overlooking the city.
It was funded by a businessman, Leszek Lyson, in gratitude for what he believes was an intervention by the late pontiff in saving his drowning son.
John Paul, who led the Roman Catholic church for 27 years before dying in 2005, remains a respected figure in his homeland.

To Be Born Poor Doesn't Mean You'll Always Be Poor: ANDREW CARNEGIE

Long after he had established himself as one of America’s leading businessmen, as well as history’s greatest steelmaker, Andrew Carnegie reflected that “We all live in the richest and freest country in the world, where no man is limited except by his own mental attitude and his own desires.”
At the time—a decade or so before the First World War—Carnegie’s attitude was nearly universal. In America, anyone could carve out a better life for himself if he worked hard. Today, Carnegie’s attitude is considered almost quaint.
Opportunity? Why, opportunity is a rare thing, and those Americans not lucky enough to be born with it should be given it at other people’s expense. Whether it’s an education, a job, a house, or a grant, opportunity is seen as something that others have to provide you with. If you don’t succeed, it’s not because you failed to capitalize on plentiful opportunities. It’s because you just weren’t one of the fortunate few.

First Woman to Receive Womb Transplant is Pregnant

follow @moshmustapha on twitter for more or like on facebook Mosh Byte

The first woman to receive a uterus from a deceased donor is pregnant following a successful embryo transplant - The Telegraph
Mrs Sert became the first woman in the world to have a successful womb transplant from a dead donor in August 2011
Derya Sert, 22, was revealed to be almost two weeks pregnant in preliminary results after in vitro fertilisation at Akdeniz University Hospital in Turkey's southern province of Antalya.
Her doctor, Mustafa Unal, said in a written statement: "She is doing just fine at the moment."
Mrs Sert was described as a "medical miracle" when she became the first woman in the world to have a successful womb transplant from a dead donor in August 2011 at the same Antalya hospital.
The news of her pregnancy will rekindle hopes for thousands of childless women across the world who are unable to bear their own babies.
Mrs Sert was born without a uterus, like one in every 5,000 women around the world. Her doctors waited 18 months before implanting the embryo to make sure the foreign organ was still functioning.
Hers was the second womb transplant to be performed in the world, the first being in Saudi Arabia in 2000 from a living donor. It failed after 99 days because of heavy clotting. Doctors had to remove the organ.
The baby is expected to be delivered via Caesarean section and the uterus removed from Mrs Sert in the months following the birth to avoid further complications and the risk of rejection.
The young woman had started to menstruate after the transplant, which her doctors had said was an important signal that the womb was functional.
However, experts have warned that the pregnancy carries several health risks to the mother as well as to the baby, including birth defects due to the use of immunosuppressive drugs as well as pre-term delivery.

Venice's Grand Canal to be Closed for first time in Memory


follow @moshmustapha on twitter for more or like on facebook Mosh Byte

It is normally choked with vaporetto ferries, launches and smart wood-panelled speedboats, but Venice's Grand Canal will be closed to motorised craft for the first time in living memory on Sunday - Nick Squires.

The idea is to highlight the damage done to canal banks by the wake of boats and cut down on air and water pollution – if only for a few hours.

The lagoon city wants to encourage the use of boats with reduced fuel emission levels.
To underscore the point, there will be a display of electricity-powered boats.
Gondolas – which are propelled by gondoliers using only muscle power – will be exempt from the ban.
The closure, which will last from 10am until 3pm, is said to be the first of its kind ever imposed.
It will affect the entire length of the Grand Canal, which winds for more than two and a half miles between centuries-old palazzi, merchant's houses, churches and luxury hotels.
It has been described as "the finest street in the world, with the finest houses".
The initiative has been organised by Venice city council with the cooperation of organisations like the chamber of commerce.
"The day will reinforce the council's commitment to the battle against pollution and the damaging waves created by boats," said Ugo Bergamo, a city councillor.
Pierfrancesco Ghetti, a strategic planner for the council, said Venice had to "get smart" and use technology to cut down on the environmental impact of the thousands of boats that ply its canals each day.
The ban will not affect the giant cruise liners which visit Venice because they are too big to sail down the Grand Canal and instead use the parallel Giudecca Canal to reach the city's cruise ship terminal.
