SUAREZ A VAMPIRE ON THE FIELD

Best and worst of Liverpool’s Luis Suarez in game against Chelsea at Anfield. Liverpool forward Luis Suarez showcased the very best of his game against Chelsea, with a fine assist for Daniel Sturridge’s goal, a goal of his own in injury time to salvage a point for the Reds, and penetrative running and incisive skill throughout. His display certainly illustrated just why he is one of the best players in the Premier League. However, the Uruguayan’s dark side was also in evidence, and it was shocking to see him bite into Branislav Ivanovic’s arm after losing the ball. It was the second such incident in Suarez’s career, having previously bitten PSV star Otman Bakkal. Watch a video of the bite against Chelsea below.

NATIONAL POLL ON NECO TO BE SCRAPPED

I sent NO to 4662 in public poll that NECO must not be scrapped; in a text message that cost me 30:00 naira, the message below was the response i got, "Thank you for polling - National Orientation Agency, Please help NECO to serve you better. NECO must live because it is our National pride. But all i want to say is if it cant be put to standard it should be scrapped, i went to NECO office at ilupeju and was not to impressed, also i visited WAEC office and it was up to standard  just that the hudlums and fraudsters outside the office area are still there. all this should be rectified and looked into. I believe the exam body has been an impediment  to all universities for them to market themselves which makes generating of funds very difficult and maintenance hard for every institutions, and it all ends to high rate in school fees,  unnecessary fees to be paid by students, I could remember that most schools in the UK, US, CANADA all over the world comes into ...

How To Break Bad Habits Brought On By Stress

I used to notice that there are so many Bad habits that we inhibit when we where young till we grow up, but this could help us break them  Picking at your nails. Chewing your hair. Cracking your knuckles. Are you guilty of any of these? They're "bad" habits" -- things we all do without thinking about it, that are probably annoying to everyone around us. Some are more innocuous -- who's  really  hurt when we clench our jaws, anyway? -- while others are more harmful -- smoking, we're looking at you. And while the triggers can vary from habit to habit and person to person, a lot of the time, we do them because of -- you guessed it -- stress. "Stress and anxiety kind of scramble the brain a bit so we're not able to pay attention the way we need to to keep ourselves from doing things," says Heidi Grant Halvorson, Ph.D., a motivational psychologist, author and  HuffPost blogger . That's because a habit is a habit -- we become conditioned ...

5 Things You Don't Know About Your Brain: A Conversation With Neuroscientist Rafael Yuste

Earlier this month, President Obama announced a proposal to fully map the activity of the human brain. The initiative would aim to better understand both the brain and the often-mystifying conditions that affect it, including Alzheimer's, autism and stroke, among others,  the Associated Press reported at the time . "As humans we can identify galaxies light-years away," Obama told a group of scientists at the White House for his announcement,  according to the AP . "We can study particles smaller than an atom, but we still haven't unlocked the mystery of the three pounds of matter that sits between our ears." One of the key players behind the scenes of this brain-mapping plan is Rafael Yuste, a professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, whose work is credited with helping to launch the project. Yuste presented at the opening night of the 2013 TEDMED conference in Washington D.C. this week. Despite criticisms that his goal is an imposs...

Boston Bomber Suspects Had Attended Cambridge Mosque, Officials Say

A mosque in Cambridge, Mass., confirmed Saturday that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the Chechen-born brothers suspected in the Boston marathon attacks, infrequently attended services at the small center that was a 10-minute walk from their apartment. "In their visits, they never exhibited any violent sentiments or behavior. Otherwise they would have been immediately reported to the FBI," said the statement from the Islamic Center of Boston . "After we learned of their identities, we encouraged anyone who knew them in our congregation to immediate report to law enforcement, which has taken place." Anwar Kazmi, a member of the mosque's board of trustees, told a  USA Today  reporter that 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who died early Friday morning after a shootout with police, was an infrequent attendee for about a year-and-a-half, while 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev, who was captured hiding in a boat in Watertown on Friday night, attended only...

Kidnappers release Bamigbetan

There are indications that the Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Authority, Kehinde Bamigbetan, who was kidnapped last Monday, might have been released on Saturday. Although his abductors had reportedly demanded $1m (about N155m), it was not clear if ransom was paid to secure his release. An online news portal,  Premium Times , reports that the Head of Information Unit of the council, Mr. Rabiu Hassan, confirmed the release. The council chairman was kidnapped near his house in Ejigbo around 11p.m. When contacted, the acting Police Public Relations Officer, Damascus Ozoani, said he was not aware that Bamgbetan had been rereleased. When our correspondent contacted Hassan for more confirmation, his phone was switched off. Also, a local government chairman in the state, who preferred anonymity, said he was not sure if Bamigbetan had been released. “What we heard was that he had been released but as I am talking to you, nobody is sure. We are yet to see anybo...
