Soccer-Levante players stage kickoff protest against Deportivo
MADRID May 7 (Reuters) - Players from relegated Levante stood still after the kickoff of their Primera Liga game against Deportivo Coruna on Wednesday in protest at the cash-strapped club's failure to pay them money they are owed this season.
The Levante players, who had taken to the pitch wearing T-shirts protesting about their predicament, stood in the centre circle while a Deportivo player ran the length of the pitch and then kicked the ball out for a goal kick.
The game resumed normally after the restart.
Last month the players threatened to go on strike if they did not receive the money owed but called off the action after the club promised to pay up.
Levante have suffered financial problems throughout the campaign because of increased expenses, lower than expected television revenue and delays to a plan to raise funds by selling their city-centre stadium. (Reporting by Simon Baskett)

Opinion | Editorials
India, Pakistan need to maintain good ties
Deaths of soldiers on both sides should not increase violence; allegations of mutilation must be probed
India and Pakistan are engaging in violent confrontation again and soldiers have been killed on both sides. This flare-up of violence has come immediately after foreign ministries from both countries were improving their relations after the complete rupture following the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, which were blamed by India on Pakistan-based militants.
A Pakistani soldier was killed earlier this week, and a few days later two Indian soldiers were killed in a firefight that erupted when Indian forces found a Pakistani patrol 500 metres inside Indian territory.
One of those bodies was alleged to have been mutilated, which has naturally infuriated India, leading Salman Khurshid, Indian foreign minister, to promise a "proportionate" response.
This heightening of tension serves to help the military agendas in both countries. At such a time, when popular fury is running high in both countries, it is very hard for politicians to insist that maintaining good relations must be a priority, and it is all too easy to slip into nationalist fervour and stoke the violence. This will not help in the long run as both countries need to strive to normalise their relations.
Therefore, everyone needs to make every effort to minimise the damage done by this kind of incident, which should not stop or change the important confidence-building measures that have started.
For example, in September former foreign minister S.M. Krishna signed a new visa agreement with Rahman Malek, the Pakistani interior minister, which eased visa restrictions for travellers. This pact was seen as a useful step to warming relations and should not be allowed to stop.
Another example at a more popular level is the full series of cricket matches between India and Pakistan planned for August this year. The crisis should not derail these matches, even if the Board for Control of Cricket in India has ruled out sending its team to Pakistan due to security concerns and also ruled out playing at a neutral venue.

Belgium's King Albert II has abdicated in favor of his son Philippe. The monarch spoke with a message of support for his heir and pleaded for unity in the linguistically and politically divided country.
Belgium welcomed its seventh king to the throne on Sunday, as Albert signed the abdication act ahead of a swearing-in for his son Philippe.
The 79-year-old monarch formally signed away his powers as the largely ceremonial head of state of the country in front of a crowd of some 250 invited dignitaries at the royal palace in Brussels.
Speaking at the ceremony, he praised his heir's abilities. "Philippe, you have all the qualities of heart as well as the mind needed to serve our country well in your new responsibilities," Albert said.
The king added his wish that Belgium - which has experienced a growing political and linguistic split between French-speaking Wallonia in the south and the more affluent Flemish speaking Flanders in the north - retain its cohesion as a nation.
"Keep working steady for a united Belgium," Albert said. "In this way you will be the makers of peace and in a position to better defend the well-being of all."
Justice Minister Annemie Turtelboom read aloud the abdication act in French, Flemish and German before it was signed by Albert.
Philippe took his oath before parliament shortly afterwards. The 53-year-old took the vow in the country's three official languages while dressed in full military uniform.
A full military parade had been planned for the afternoon, even ahead of Albert's announcement that he would stand down, with the ceremony coinciding with Belgium's national day.
The royal family is viewed as a key force in uniting the country, with Albert having played a major role in ending a political crisis in 2010 to 2011, when the country went for a record 541 days without a government.
The House of Belgium has ruled the country of 11.5 million people since it gained independence from the Netherlands in 1830.

Borussia Dortmund went down for the fourth successive league encounter and are now in crisis mode. Elsewhere, two consistent teams remain on course for strong positions, while Stuttgart were goal-hungry in Frankfurt.
Dortmund lost a narrow game against Hannover on Saturday as they kept their poor form in the Bundesliga going. Meanwhile, Stuttgart's return to form seemed clear until the game turned crazy in Frankfurt.

These fun and easy vampire mouth cookie sandwiches take their inspiration from s'mores, with a chocolate-graham-cracker mouth, red-dyed frosting gums, mini-marshmallow teeth, and almond-sliver fangs.
Most would agree, the best part of fried chicken is the skin. Evil-genius chef Sean Brock decided to skip the middle man—er, chicken—and go right for the good stuff. He serves these deep-fried strips of chicken skin as a bar snack at Husk, and was benevolent enough to share the recipe for them in his new cookbook, Heritage.
What's better than spareribs? How about Filipino deep-fried spareribs. First marinated with garlic and vinegar, then deep fried until browned and crisp, they're an addictive plate of pork.
Halloween candy is just fine, but come fall, I crave creamy, chocolatey oatmeal stout. I asked our crew of beer experts—all Certified Cicerones—about the best of the bunch.
Pumpkin and pizza are not the most common bandmates, but I'm gonna try and convince you that they should get together and jam out a bit more often. My proof: this sweet-yet-savory pumpkin pizza with gentle warm spices, three cheeses, and a little sage.
Kent cob nuts, ready for cracking A few weeks ago, my neighbour and I did a swap of our garden goodies - I gave her pears and she gave me a bag of large cob nuts. I spent an enjoyable afternoon in the late summer sunshine crackingShow More Summary
How does presentation inform the dining experience at a restaurant? We talk to Chef Anita Lo about the plating philosophy at her restaurant, Annisa.
This farrotto—farro cooked in the style of risotto—from Sean Brock's new cookbook, Heritage, is the perfect foil to the artfully composed, modernist plates that make up most of the book: it's a warming, rustic potful of fall flavors...
This easy black eyed pea stew starts with andouille sausage and pork belly cooked until browned and crisped, then gets flavored with the Holy Trinity of Cajun cuisine: onions, celery, and green bell peppers, along with some leeks and garlic for extra flavor. Tender braised kale transform this into a full-on meal, while a shot of apple cider vinegar brightens up all the flavors.
Rummy bears = gummy bears soaked in alcohol. But little bears with boozy bellies are just the beginning.
Cooks are often told that even the tiniest bit of yolk or fat in egg whites will prevent them from whipping properly. Is it true? We put this common piece of kitchen lore to the test.
A few years ago, Southern Living opened a recipe feature by declaring, "It doesn't get much more Southern than a plate of Fried Green Tomatoes." 25 years ago, that would have been dead wrong.
Want to eat churros every morning but don't want to deal with daily deep frying? Then these waffled churros are for you. Plus, the nooks and crannies of the waffled churros provide space for the chocolate sauce to pool.
Sugar addicts take note: Rose Levy Beranbaum, author of The Baking Bible, shares her list of favorite cookbooks, sweet and savory.
Chef Sean Brock's salad from his new book, Heritage, hits all the right notes: the melon is sweet and juicy, the onions are bracing, the vinaigrette is spicy and tangy, and the pickled shrimp are...all of the above.
Snickers and Milky Way bars are all well and good, but what other candies are deserving of some Halloween love? From Lion Bars and Whoppers to Airheads and Nerds, we've got our eyes on quite a few. Here's what we've been hoarding for October 31.
To be frank, I'm not 100% certain where this dish of tender chicken and white beans bound in a creamy, fresh green-chili sauce topped with shredded cheese comes from. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the recipe actually originated on the back of a wrapper from a can of chopped green chilies. Show More Summary
Scotch really is one of the most expensive drinks out there. But even if you're watching your wallet, there are some great bottles to try.
Though the South is home to many delicacies, a longstanding cheese-making tradition isn't among them. But that's starting to change, and while cheesemakers are following all kinds of roads to cheese, the region's particular climate makes for some interesting commonalities among its increasingly delicious cheeses.

New technology making cash registers obsolete
Stores are using point-of-sale technology involving smartphones and scanners to complete shoppers' purchases. Cash registers are checking out.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The days of checkout lines may be coming to an end, as tablets, smartphones, portable scanners and credit card readers replace stationary cash registers.
"The old sort of large, antiquated (checkout) experience in a store is something that we don't need anymore," said Michael Tucci, North American Group president at Coach Inc., during the recent Bank of America Merrill Lynch Consumer & Retail Conference.
Enabled by mobile point-of-sale (POS) technology, the luxury retailer is changing its cash register areas to expand shoe offerings.
"Over a period of years, hopefully not too many, we will transform our transaction experience, reclaim that space in both full-price and factory (outlets), and allow us to show more product essentially in the same footprint," said Tucci.
In Canada, "there are a handful of stores currently using mobile POS and we will be adding them to more stores this spring," said Coach spokesperson Andrea Shaw Resnick.
When Nordstrom begins rolling out stores in Canada next year, it will feature mobile checkouts.
"We started introducing mobile point-of-sale devices in our stores in the U.S. in the first half of 2011 and since then we've been learning and looking at how we can be better," said Nordstrom spokesman Colin Johnson.
"The biggest benefit is it helps provide better service. If you're sitting in that comfy chair trying on those Jimmy Choos, it's better service if you don't have to get up and go to the cash register. We can take care of you anywhere in the store."
In the U.S., the J.C. Penney department store began rolling out iPod Touch devices in its stores late last year with the goal of having one in the hands of every salesperson by May. The retailer said about one quarter of purchases now come via the devices, according to The Associated Press.
"The traditional cash register is heading toward obsolescence," Danielle Vitale, chief operating officer of Barneys New York, told the AP about plans to use iPads or iPod Touch devices for credit and debit card purchases in seven of its nearly two dozen regular-price stores.
Urban Outfitters ordered its last traditional register last fall and plans to go completely mobile one day, reported the AP.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Fraud experts say health insurance scams are on the rise as criminals quickly exploit consumers' confusion about how the new health care law changes their insurance coverage.
Most of the schemes are poorly constructed, using the pretext of reform. "So far there's no major criminal organization behind them," said James Quiggle, spokesman for non-profit group Coalition Against Insurance Fraud.
But Quiggle is concerned that as more of the provisions mandated by the new law are phased in over the next four years, these scams "could grow to become an all-encompassing tsunami."
The government has taken note. Earlier this year, Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius warned state insurance commissioners about new schemes to sell bogus insurance policies.
Last week, HHS announced grants to states to strengthen ongoing efforts to protect consumers from some of the worst insurance industry practices.
Consumers beware: Sally Hurme, who handles consumer fraud issues at AARP, said seniors are especially vulnerable to these new scams. "We're making a concerted effort to get the word out to our 40 million members," she said.
But seniors aren't the only targets. People who buy insurance out of pocket -- unemployed individuals, underinsured individuals, as well as individuals who do not get dependent coverage through their work -- are also vulnerable, said Lou Saccocio, head of the National Health-Care Anti-Fraud Association, whose members include insurers, law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
Saccocio, citing anecdotal information, said the most common scams involve selling fake health plans, fraudulent medical discount plans and Medicare rebate checks scams.
Here's what to watch out for:
Phantom government coverage: Scammers, claiming they represent the government, go door-to-door selling fake policies. "These crooks tell people without insurance that the law requires them to buy a policy immediately," said Quiggle. "They also say there's a limited enrollment period to sign up."
Both claims are false. There is no enrollment period in the individual market. And the law gives uninsured individuals until 2014 to buy coverage before having to pay a penalty.
Fraudulent discount plans: Crooks are taking advantage of heightened concerns about health insurance costs to sell people "discount plans" disguised as insurance plans, said Kim Holland, Oklahoma's insurance commissioner.
Holland said these medical discount plans are not insurance policies. These plans only provide discounts on some medical services. The Federal Trade Commission said 24 states have filed 54 lawsuits this year to stop this deceptive practice.
"Some states have outlawed these plans," said Holland.
$250 Medicare rebate scam: For beneficiaries who've fallen into the prescription-drug coverage gap known as the "doughnut hole," the law created a program this year where the government mails them a $250 check to cover the gap.
Quiggle said scammers are exploiting this opportunity by calling up seniors, asking for their Social Security and Medicare beneficiary numbers, and promising to expedite the checks.
The crooks will then use the information to bill Medicare for false services.
AARP's Hurme said the group has also become aware of a Medicare card scam. "Scammers are telling seniors that because of the changes in the law, they will have to send them a new card," she said. And they ask for their personal information.
"This is blatant identity theft," Hume added.
Peter Ashkenaz, spokesman for the Center for Medicare & Medicare Services, said the agency was aware of anecdotal reports of such scams.
"We have aggressive efforts in place to educate beneficiaries that they do not need to do anything to get the $250 rebate checks," he said.
As key provisions of the health care law continue to be phased in, scammers will try to take advantage of consumers who aren't aware of the new changes.
Coming up in January, Medicare beneficiaries will not have to pay co-pays on preventive services. Ashkenaz said scammers might try to exploit that change.
Experts stress the need for consumers to educate themselves about the new law. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners also offered these tips on how to avoid being a victim.
Additionally, Hurme said the AARP launched a major campaign called "Fight Health care Fraud" in September to educate seniors.
"Seniors can get information on our website," she said. "We're also training volunteers to go to senior centers in various states to educate the community."

Gay rights protester reportedly detained at Sochi Olympic torch relay
Jan 18, 2014, 5:10 PM EDT
A man who unfurled a rainbow flag at the Olympic torch relay in Russia was detained and taken to a police station Saturday.
Pavel Lebedev was protesting growing homophobia in Russia in his hometown of Voronezh, according to The Associated Press. Voronezh is 560 miles north of Sochi.
Photos show Lebedev pulling out a flag and being wrestled to the snow by men described as Olympic security personnel by the AP.
"Hosting the Games here contradicts the basic principles of the Olympics, which is to cultivate tolerance," Lebedev said in a phone interview while at the police station, according to the AP.
In June, Russian president Vladimir Putin signed a law banning the promotion of non-traditional sexual relations toward minors.
In August, the International Olympic Committee said it received assurances from the highest level of Russian government that the legislation will not affect those attending or taking part in the Games.
Protests at the Olympics will be allowed in designated areas if approved by Russian authorities.

Is it really worth it to get pounded by Russian security forces?

People might want to note that the gentleman doing the detaining is wearing the official Olympic uniform of the Russian torchbearers which means they are representing the Olympics and NOT Russia per se. For visual proof of my claim look here:
Note that the official torchbearers are wearing the same uniform as the gentleman who detained the protester which means the IOC is tacitly allowing official staff to detain people for the Russian police to arrest.

'Force India in good shape'
Force India's VJM07 has come "a long way" since the Jerez test, says a confident Nico Hulkenberg. Entrusted with the car on the final day of pre-season testing, Hulkenberg claimed fourth place on the timesheets during his 74 laps. And although it was a solid final day on paper, Hulkenberg revealed he did not do a race simulation on the day. That, though, has done very little to dampen his confidence. "The final day of testing went pretty wellm," he said. "In the end we didn't do the race simulation, but we did some long runs and signed off a lot of other things on the job list. "We didn't do as many laps as yesterday (Saturday), but we still made progress and...

Headshotboyz are two self proclaimed music makers and genre haters from Hungary. With their vast and diverse catalog of audio, its become undoubtedly clear that their ability to live up to their anti-genre status is as easy said as done. From personal favorites of ours like 'Mighty Spookfish' to their appearances on the Mad Hop compilations, everything the two do is more than enjoyable. For one of their more recent projects, which dropped two months ago but has only just surfaced for free download, they decided to take on the spotlight sounds of Grimes. Choosing 'Know The Way', the outro of her Visions LP, its another successful notch in a bed they've now completely carved. Keeping that tasty vibe of Grimes, they've combined that trickling water essence with the beautiful vocals, adding tasty hip hop influenced percussion, ambient sounds and everything else you sort of longed for during the original piece. The final product is a much more full version of a song you already loved, making it a no brainer for anyone with a good taste in modern audio. If you dig what they do, fan them on Facebook just here.
Know The Way (Headshotboyz Mix)

Managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome
By Leon Chaitow, ND, DO
This brief review of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) management suggests that there are possible biomechanical, behavioural, as well as dietary strategies, that can commonly be helpful. IBS has been defined as abdominal pain, experienced more than once a month, associated with bloating and altered bowel habits.(Moore & Kennedy 2000) By definition, IBS is functional, that is, there is no infection or pathology associated with it. (Abrams et al 2002) It is more common in women than men, and is often associated with other chronic pelvic pain (CPP) symptoms. When IBS is chronic, core muscles (e.g. pelvic muscles) may become hyperalgesic with multiple trigger points. (Fall et al 2010)
Tak & Rosmalan (2010) discuss the role of the body's "stress responsive systems" in what has been termed functional somatic syndromes, such as IBS, as involving a "multifactorial interplay between psychological, biological, and social factors." Therefore, there is a need to move beyond a search for single causes of most conditions such as IBS, since, like many other complex and difficult-to-treat conditions, they commonly have multi-factorial aetiological features - possibly interacting with predispositions and altered stress-coping functions.
Beales (2004) has described a scenario that highlights multiple contributory factors to functional somatic syndromes: "Too much sustained, [stress] leads to the loss of internal balance, and results in reduced performance and a mind-body system in overdrive. In this state, the metabolism is struggling and cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure are often raised, resulting in ill health ... for instance, sufferers from irritable bowel syndrome may also commonly experience back pain, fatigue and loss of libido. Negative emotions, such as frustration and despair, can trigger exhaustion, which in turn can trigger breathing pattern disorders, as a consequence of the perceived threat to survival eliciting fight, flight or freeze reactions."
Massage offers a highly suitable stress modulating approach. (Moraska et al 2008)
Overbreathing & Colon Constriction
Ford et al (1995) have reported on the high incidence of increased colonic tone and dysfunction in hyperventilating individuals. Hypocapnic hyperventilation (low CO2 blood levels) produces an increase in colonic tone, and phasic contractility in the transverse and sigmoid regions. These findings are consistent with either inhibition of sympathetic innervation to the colon, or the direct effects of over-breathing on colonic smooth muscle contractility, or both.(Chaitow 2007)
Prather et al (2009) expand on these relationships, in review of the anatomy, evaluation, and treatment of musculoskeletal pelvic floor muscle (PFM) pain in women.
They note that persistent muscle contraction of the pelvic floor, related to noxious visceral stimulation, such as that deriving from endometriosis or irritable bowel syndrome, can lead to splinting and pain, with reduction of normal PFM function. Specifically, they report that viscerosomatic reflex activity may be responsible for increased resting tone of the pelvic floor with reduced ability to fully relax the muscle group as a whole. As a result, they suggest, adaptation occurs via recruitment of global muscles in the region (e.g. psoas and iliacus) leading to symptoms such as posterior pelvic and low back pain. Prather et al also point out that: "Proper breathing techniques, while performing exercises and activities, are essential for pelvic floor relaxation ... pelvic floor contraction during exhalation allows for synergy between the pelvic and respiratory diaphragms."
This is also a key to assisting IBS dysfunction.
In a comprehensive review of the subject Heizer et al (2009) suggest that dietary changes are worth attempting in an effort to relieve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. It is recommended that dietary restrictions should be introduced one at a time, beginning with any food or food group that appears to cause symptoms based on a careful patient history or review of a patient's food diary. The most effective duration for dietary trials has not been well studied, however 2 to 3 weeks is commonly suggested. A modified exclusion diet, followed by stepwise reintroduction of foods is likely to be more effective in finding problem foods, but it is more time-consuming.
General dietary recommendations for patients with IBS, based on clinical experience and anecdotal reports (Heizer et al 2009) include:
Peppermint Oil
Research suggests that use of peppermint oil, particularly in cases of relatively mild IBS is likely to be of benefit in symptomatic treatment of IBS. (Capello et al 2007)
Tumeric (Curcumin)
While some studies have shown potential benefit for use of turmeric (curcumin) in treatment of IBS (a member of the ginger family of plants), no placebo-controlled studies have been conducted. (Heizer et al 2009)
The conclusion of a review of the evidence for use of probiotics in both IBS and inflammatory bowel disease are cautiously positive.(Iannitti & Palmieri 2010) Two meta-analyses (Nifkar et al 2008, McFarland & Dublin 2008)) and two comprehensive narrative reviews (Wilhelm et al 2008, Spiller 2008) on the use of probiotics in the treatment of IBS. All concluded that probiotics may be useful but there are many variables affecting the results such as the type, dose, and formulation of bacteria comprising the probiotic preparation, the outcome measured, as well as size and characteristics of the IBS population studied.
IBS is common. Patients with this condition may respond well to stress reduction, better breathing patterns, biomechanical normalisation (pelvic structures) and trigger point deactivation.
