Players celebrate after Doyle scores the winning penalty in a penalty shoot out against @placeholder
|
Sheffield United captain Michael Doyle accepts his side must lift their game to an even higher level if they are to pull off another upset in their two-legged Capital One Cup semi-final against Tottenham. But the Irish midfielder insists if the tie is still alive after Wednesday night's first leg at White Hart Lane, Nigel Clough's cup specialists will have "a brilliant chance" in the return leg at Bramall Lane. Clough's Sky Bet League One side have beaten West Ham and Southampton to reach the last four and if that was not enough to serve Tottenham with a big enough warning, the Blades' exploits in the FA Cup these past two seasons add extra credence to their latest challenge.

A mother with seven boys, who was so desperate for a girl that she spent $50,000 flying over to the US to ensure she could add daughters to her growing brood, said she was a victim of cyber bullying. Jodi McMahon, from Tumut in rural NSW, decided to make the trip overseas to have the option to choose the gender of her youngest children via IVF. Ms McMahon, along with husband Andrew, sparked a national debate in 2012 when they spoke publicly on Channel Nine program 60 Minutes about their choice to take matters into their own hands when their plans to use gender selection IVF in NSW were stalled by changes that outlawed the option in Australia.

Those were the jumbled thoughts that raced through Sereth Hosty's mind in her Long Island, New York, home as she tirelessly scoured the news and Web for clues to the whereabouts of her elderly mother in Haiti. Since an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 struck Tuesday, Augusta Thervil, 83, was among the growing number of people who had gone missing in the Port-au-Prince area. And her daughter was among those living in limbo. "I check. I check. I check," Hosty said earlier this week. She had spent two days trying to reach her mother, neighbors and family friends by phone.

The star Ukip candidate accusing one of Nigel Farage's closets allies of being a sex pest was facing further embarrassing revelations tonight - after her claim to have been a teacher was thrown into doubt. Natasha Bolter was introduced to the Ukip conference earlier this year as a Labour defector who had gone into teaching after a stellar education culminating in a degree from Oxford University. But her claim to have read politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford unravelled yesterday when the institution took the rare step of denying she had ever attended. It then emerged today that she was only a ‘cover supervisor’ at a comprehensive school in east London - and not a teacher - as Ukip supporters were led to believe.

Immigration policy helped sink the Texas governor's previous bid, but it has now put him back in the spotlight. He met on Wednesday with President Barack Obama, who's under fire over the surge of undocumented minors on the southern border. Obama accepted Perry's offer for a sit-down following a sharp exchange with the White House.

Yet, political cover could have been fairly easily provided if Egypt and the UAE had wanted to strike with less fallout. Allegations they carried out the strikes come against backdrop of international concern over radical Islamism in Iraq and Syria, which have led to U.S. airstrikes already, in co-ordination with the Iraqi government.

The cost of paying gold-plated pensions to Britain’s public sector workers will double over the next six years to the equivalent of £1,500 per family, a damning report warns today. Between April 2011 and April 2012, the net cost of paying the pensions of retired State workers was £8billion. But this figure is set to rocket to £16.2billion in 2017/18, according to the forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Treasury’s independent watchdog. The cost of paying gold-plated pensions to Britain¿s public sector workers will double over the next six years to the equivalent of £1,500 per family Experts said it makes a mockery of the Government’s claim to have tackled the problem of the ballooning cost of paying such generous pensions to the State workforce.

By Suzannah Hills PUBLISHED: 01:15 EST, 7 November 2013 | UPDATED: 02:20 EST, 7 November 2013 The remains of a new super-predator dinosaur that roamed the Earth 80 million years ago has been discovered by scientists in Utah. Paleontologists believe the dinosaur, which had been named the 'king of gore', was the largest living predator of its time with a big skull and huge teeth. Bones of the 24-foot-long dinosaur were unveiled at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Salt Lake City yesterday. It is believed to have lived 10 million years before its slightly larger relative, the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Alan Pardew will be appointed the new Crystal Palace manager after the club agreed a compensation package with Newcastle. Pardew will sign a four-year contract, worth in the region of £2million-per-season, after agreeing to return to the club he joined as a player in 1987. The two clubs settled on a fee to free Pardew from his Newcastle contract, which still had six years left to run. The original release figure was set at £5million, but with Palace unwilling to the meet that price, a lower fee was agreed. A figure of £2m has been quoted, but Newcastle insist the fee was higher. Pardew had made it clear to Newcastle owner Mike Ashley, who is in Barbados, that he wanted to return to Palace and the Toon chief agreed to compromise.

(CNN) -- Eden Foods has become the new front line in the contest over religion, health care and the workplace. Eden Foods is a closely held, for-profit corporation that objects to covering contraception on religious grounds. It lost its lawsuit last October, but the ruling was stayed pending the Supreme Court's decision on Hobby Lobby. Now, Eden Foods has a clear legal pathway to deny contraception coverage to its employees. Eden Foods, however, is in a very different business than Hobby Lobby. It sells organic products, a market that relies on educated, well-informed, urban consumers, a demographic that trends liberal. In response to the renewed attention on the Eden Foods case, defenders of the company, people who want to buy their products with a clean conscience, and the organic food stores who want to stay out of the crossfire, are all arguing that this is just a political dispute.

Last year, Mrs Kelley became a secondary participant in then-CIA director David Petraeus’ affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell after Mrs Kelley contacted the FBI about threatening emails she received from Broadwell. During an ensuing search of her email records, the FBI publicly announced that she had ‘inappropriate’ email conversations with General John Allen as well.

The trojan horse is called Mac Defender. It's a web pop-up containing a spoof message that tells customers their machines are infected by a virus and they must install anti-virus software. If customers agree to install the software, the program sporadically loads porn websites on their computer.

"Of course we are not concerned," Aliyev told CNN's Richard Quest during an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. BP operates Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz gas project, a giant offshore gas field that reduces Europe's reliance on Russian gas. But the energy giant also recently became a major shareholder in the Russian state oil company. British newspapers have reported that the BP-Rosneft deal has raised concerns in Azerbaijan that the partnership would allow Russia to exert indirect influence over its southern neighbor.

The way Mexican President Felipe Calderon answered this question when asked by New York Times reporters is creating quite a stir. Asked whether he fears that a victory by the PRI in next year's presidential elections may bring back a corrupt relationship with organized crime, Calderon, a member of the PAN, conceded that is one of his fears. "It depends on who" wins the elections, the president told the Times. "There are many in the PRI who agree with the (hard-line) policy I have, at least they say so in secret, while publicly they may say something else. There are many in the PRI who think the deals of the past would work now. I don't see what deal could be done, but that is the mentality many of them have. If that opinion prevails it would worry me."

Failed to pay fines and said they would rather go to jail Part of a conservative breakaway group known as Swartzentruber who live with no electricity or plumbing By Associated Press UPDATED: 04:28 EST, 13 January 2012 A group of Amish men were sent to jail today for refusing to pay fines for breaking a state highway law that requires their horse-drawn buggies to be marked with orange reflective triangles. The men, from western Kentucky, have a religious objection to the bright orange signs, which they say are flashy and conflict with their pledge to live low-key and religious lives.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Hugh Hefner founded Playboy magazine 55 years ago and turned the adult-oriented publication into a multimillion-dollar empire. CNN anchor John Roberts recently sat down with Hefner, now 82, and talked about Steven Watts' new book, "Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream." Hugh Hefner, 82, says that "staying young is what it is all about for me." John Roberts, CNN anchor: Mr. Hefner, good to see you. Hugh Hefner: It is my pleasure. Roberts: You have over the decades certainly supported political causes, you've supported Democratic causes.

The rumor-busting website -- the name of which translates as the "websites jointly debunking rumors platform" -- allows users to forward on suspect content for verification. The website, with guidance from the Chinese government, will then issue a "correct" version of the information. The web giants participating in the platform include Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblogging service, and major search engines including Baidu and Sogou, reported state-run Xinhua. The website, which launched Thursday, has already published and corrected nearly 100,000 pieces of misinformation, according to the state-run Global Times. It would also alert Internet users to phishing scams.

(CNN) -- Efforts to forge lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians apparently suffered more setbacks Wednesday, even as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was in the Middle East trying to help mend relations. Kerry met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, where the top U.S. diplomat acknowledged both sides of the strife. "Israel deserves security, deserves to live in peace," Kerry said. "The Palestinians deserve a state, deserve to live in peace, and that is what we are working towards." But Netanyahu said that while Israel wants peace with Palestinians, "I'm concerned about their progress because I see the Palestinians continuing with incitements, continuing to create artificial crises, continuing to avoid and run away from the historic decisions that are needed to make a genuine peace."

Now in an interview with CNN he describes how the dictator, who was once of the world's most feared leaders, was forced to scavenge for food and hide in abandoned houses in the coastal city of Sirte.

Couldn't stay away: Michael Bloomberg will return to lead the company he founded in 1981 Michael Bloomberg will return as head of Bloomberg LP after the outgoing president became frustrated with the former mayor's increasing presence at the office, according to a report.

(CNN) -- Recently, the chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Religious Liberty argued that the Obama administration's requirement that most health insurance plans cover contraception goes against "the mandate of Jesus Christ." But Jesus said nothing about contraception coverage, of course, or most any other issues related to sexuality. So, what is the issue? The current mandate would require that Catholic institutions like universities and hospitals include coverage for contraception and sterilization, although it exempts Catholic parishes. Official Catholic teaching is against contraception and sterilization. But this issue goes beyond internal Catholic Church concerns and moves into the public arena. The U.S. Catholic bishops and other conservative Christian groups have argued that the Obama administration's requirement wars with religious liberty and the role of conscience.

Slovyansk, Ukraine (CNN) -- In a forest of pines to the east of Slovyansk, Prapor and his seventy men were digging in Thursday. A man in his late-fifties with a magnificent beard and four different weapons, Prapor freely admitted he was not a local. But he was here -- he said -- to resist the "Ukrainian fascists" in Krasny Liman, a nearby town just recaptured by government forces. He was dismissive of the group that had fled Krasny -- "Cossacks," he sneered. He had already lost seven men, but his fighters were the bravest. They would not run away. Meeting Prapor was revealing in several ways. Pro-Russian separatists working in eastern Ukraine are better organized, better armed (Prapor's group had a truck-mounted anti-aircraft gun that was clearly working), and more of them appear to come from beyond Ukraine. And they are building a maze of roadblocks and defensive positions across the region.
