City to probe cancer email allegations

Manchester City are to investigate claims that their chief executive Garry Cook sent an offensive email to the cancer-stricken mother of one of City’s players,cheap nfl jerseys china the Premier League club announced on Monday.

Dr Anthonia Onuoha, mother and agent of City defender Nedum Onuoha, told The Sun newspaper earlier on Monday that she has asked the Football Association to investigate.

Cook has denied that he sent it, claiming someone hacked into his email account, but has apologised to Dr Onuoha while the club issued a statement promising a full investigation.

“Following allegations made to the football club by Dr Anthonia Onuoha, subsequently reported in today’s (Monday) media, the club can confirm that a board-led review has been launched into the matter,” read the statement.Cheap moncler jackets

Cook apologised for “any hurt or embarrassment this may have caused” as well as denying sending the email which had been intended for City’s director of football, Brian Marwood.

“I cannot and will not condone this unacceptable behaviour,” said Cook.

“I can confirm Brian (Marwood) did not receive this email and disciplinary action is currently under way regarding one of our employees.”

According to The Sun, Dr Onuoha wrote to Marwood about a contract dispute between the club and her son, who is an England Under-21 international.

In an email sent to Marwood last October, she said that, although her body was “ravaged with cancer and ongoing chemotherapy”, she was still able to fight her son’s corner.

Two weeks later she received an email, apparently written by Cook but destined for Marwood and sent to Dr Onuoha by mistake.

The Sun claimed: “The e-mail was addressed ‘Brian’ then said: ‘Ravaged with it!!……I don’t now how you sleep at night. You used to be such a nice man when I worked with you at nike (sic).’”

Dr Onuoha told the paper: “When I opened up my emails and saw the message, it was the worst day of my life. Even worse than being diagnosed with cancer.

“I couldn’t understand how anybody could behave like that. I just cried and cried for hours.Breitling watches wholesale

“I’m critically ill and at that point I was undergoing chemotherapy. I was just so shocked but I couldn’t tell Nedum or any of my family because I didn’t know how they would react.

“It’s incredible that any human being would write this. It’s unforgivable and I still cannot believe it.”

A former executive at sportswear giant Nike, Cook was the subject of negative headlines in the early days of his tenure at City.

He once described controversial former City owner Thaksin Shinawatra as “a great guy to play golf with,digital video recorders” and said an attempt to sign Brazilian superstar Kaka failed because the player “bottled it”.

However, Cook has also played an important role behind the scenes as City have established themselves as one of the strongest teams in England after years of under-achievement.

Netherlands chase Euro 2012 spot

The high-scoring Netherlands can virtually secure a spot in next year’s European Championship with another victory against Finland on Tuesday.

The top-ranked Dutch are coming off their biggest win ever after demolishing San Marino 11-0 on Friday for their seventh victory in as many games in Group E.

The World Cup runners-up are six points clear of second-place Sweden with three rounds remaining and with a vastly superior goal difference. While Sweden would theoretically remain in contention for the group win with a high-scoring display of their own against San Marino on Tuesday, the Swedes are more focused on finishing as the best group runner-up to earn an automatic berth to the tournament in Ukraine and Poland.

Captain Mark van Bommel said the Netherlands team has to put its rout of San Marino behind.

“Against Finland it is a challenge to refocus after all the euphoria,” he said. “Everybody thinks it is going to be easy, but it is not. We still have to play a couple of matches to qualify for the European Championship.”

Coach Bert van Marwijk will again be missing midfielders Nigel de Jong and Rafael van der Vaart as well as winger Arjen Robben.

He is expected to again start Klaas-Jan Huntelaar at center forward and Robin van Persie on the right wing. The pair slotted easily into the makeshift formation against San Marino with Van Persie scoring four and Huntelaar two.

Huntelaar’s brace made him top scorer in Euro 2012 qualifiers with 10 goals in seven matches.

Finland are coming off a 4-1 win over Moldova who have boosted their hopes of avenging a 2-1 loss in Rotterdam last year.Nfl bears jersreys cheap

“It will be a nice game,” Finland midfielder Kasper Hamalainen said. “If you look back last year’s game against Holland we actually played pretty good. We had the chance of scoring 2-2. …digital video recorders They will want to have the ball but we will also want to have the ball.”

Sweden have to recover from a 2-1 defeat at Hungary on Friday which ended any realistic hopes of winning the group. Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic tried to boost the team’s spirits by inviting the entire squad to his house in southern Sweden for dinner on Saturday.Moncler jackets sale

While the Swedes displayed some uncharacteristic defensive lapses in Hungary, they are unlikely to face any problems at San Marino.

“It’s easy to underestimate San Marino, which we mustn’t do,Human hair Full lace wigs” Ibrahimovic said. “It’s not about us having to score 11 goals like Holland did. But we have to go there and win the game.”

Pavlyuchenkova breaks through against Schiavone

In a match where nobody’s serve was safe, No. 17 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova made it to her second Grand Slam quarterfinal Monday with a 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 win over former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone.

The three-set match included 16 service breaks over 31 games and, appropriately enough, ended when Pavlyuchenkova hit a forehand winner on match point to break Schiavone’s serve for the ninth time. The players combined for 21 double-faults.

Pavlyuchenkova reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal earlier this year at the French Open and led Schiavone 6-1, 4-1 there before Schiavone rallied big-time for a 1-6, 7-5, 7-5 victory. Schiavone, the 2010 French champion, made it to the final at Roland Garros this year where she lost to Li Na.

This time, it was the Russian’s turn to rally after losing the first set.Moncler jackets

At 20, Pavlyuchenkova is the youngest woman in the top 50 and the youngest woman left in the U.S. Open draw. Her next match will be against either Ana Ivanovic or Serena Williams, who played an afternoon match in Arthur Ashe Stadium.Human hair Full lace wigs

Era of the super conference might come sooner than later

Just when college football was settling into the changes brought by last year’s conference shuffling, just when the Pac-12 logo started to feel familiar,Air Jordan Shoes and who’s a Legend and who’s a Leader almost made sense, the sport appears headed for significant upheaval.

The era of the super-conference might come sooner than expected. “It seems that’s the direction the world is going. If it is, so be it,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Monday.

Oklahoma president David Boren said just before the season opener the Sooners would decide this month whether to leave the Big 12 for another conference. Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said before Saturday’s Oregon-LSU game that schools have reached out to his league recently.

One week into the season, Stoops and Texas coach Mack Brown didn’t expect to be talking about conference re-alignment, and the future of the Big 12. Last summer,Nike shox shoes Texas and Oklahoma, along with Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, were poised to join the then-Pac-10 before the deal fell apart.

“At least I thought it was behind us for a year.digital scales supplier I thought we’d at least get through the season,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys” Stoops said Monday during the Big 12 coaches teleconference. “I guess I always felt at some point it would come back up. I’d have to say not this quick, though.”

Said Brown: “I thought it was over for at least 10 years. … We were told last year we could join any league in the country we wanted to if it changed. We’ve been told we could go independent. So there’s going to be something really good for Texas at the end of this.”

Texas A&M kicked off the frenzy when the school formally announced its intention to leave the Big 12 last week. The Aggies are expected to apply for membership to the Southeastern Conference, perhaps as early as this week.

World is safer 10 years after 9/11: EU,steeler jerseys cheap NATO

The world is safer today than in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the United States, with global terror groups weaker than 10 years ago, senior EU and NATO officials said Monday.

A decade after Al-Qaeda traumatised the United States, the terror network has lost its leader, Osama bin Laden, and proved irrelevant in the revolutions sweeping the Arab world,wholesales mac Lip gloss said EU counter-terrorism coordinator Gilles de Kerchove.

“The main finding is the real failure of the Al-Qaeda project,starcraft 2 Coaching” he said.

The once mighty group has been worn down by the NATO-led war in Afghanistan, which served as its safe haven prior to 9/11, and reinforced international cooperation, de Kerchove said.

“Today an attack of the scale and sophistication of 9/11 is no longer possible,” he told a news conference. “Does it mean that we’re completely out of the threat? Probably not.”

He added: “Are we safer today than before? I can say yes.”

De Kerchove stressed that the world still faced terror threats, as the deadly shooting and bombing rampage by a Norwegian right-wing extremist showed this summer in Norway.

Terrorism has also evolved into a more complex and diversified menace, with Al-Qaeda franchises operating in Africa and the Arabian peninsula, he said.

At a separate briefing,Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen noted that 9/11 prompted the military alliance to invoke its mutual defence clause for the first time in its history and deploy troops to Afghanistan.

Ancient Sacrificer Found With Blades in Peru Tomb

With ancient ceremonial knives at his side,chi hair straigntener an elite 14th-century executioner—a key player in human-sacrifice rituals—has been uncovered in a tomb at a pre-Inca site in Peru, archaeologists suggest.

The tomb was found at Chotuna-Chornancap, a coastal site near the Peruvian city of Chiclayo (map). The site was once an important ceremonial center of the Lambayeque culture,steeler jerseys cheap also known as the Sicán.

The culture lived along the northern coasts of Peru from around A.D.starcraft 2 Coaching 800 until around 1375, when the neighboring Chimú civilization conquered the Sicán.

(Related: “Tombs of Pre-Inca Elite Discovered Under Peru Pyramid.”)

Previous excavations at Chotuna-Chornancap by Peruvian archaeologist Carlos Wester La Torre, who led the team that found the purported sacrificer, revealed a temple containing the remains of several women who were mutilated as part of human-sacrifice rituals.

Wester and other Peruvian archaeologists have suggested that the rulers of Chotuna-Chornancap may have claimed to be the descendants of Naylamp, a god-like figure from the sea that legend says founded the Sicán culture.

(See photos and reconstructions of a sacrificial temple at Chotuna-Chornancap.)

Copper-Skirted Sacrificer

The new tomb discovery was made during excavations of a section of Chotuna-Chornancap that was used to perform crop-fertility rituals, according to the team.

The skeleton belonged to a male between 20 and 30 years old, and that the tomb was built sometime in the late 1200s or early 1300s A.wholesales mac Lip glossD., toward the end of the Sicán period, they say.

The cause of death of the tomb’s inhabitant is unknown, but based on the kind and quantity of artifacts buried with him—including ceramic pots, a skirt made of copper disks, and ornate copper knives—the team thinks he was a member of the Sicán elite and possibly performed ritual human offerings by order of a priest.

Wester speculated that a sacrificer was more than just a simple executioner. He would have been entrusted with other responsibilities related to the ceremonies surrounding the sacrifices, the archaeologist added.

Ceramic and metal objects were also found near the tomb—possibly left as offerings to the dead sacrificer, or they may be evidence of another tomb, said Wester, director of the Brüning National Archaeological Museum in the city of Lambayeque.

(Also see: “‘Spider God’ Temple Found in Peru.”)

Or Is a Knife Just a Knife?

Archaeologist and Sicán expert Izumi Shimada said the new tomb could shed light on what the Sicán culture was like just prior to its collapse.

Previous studies, including Shimada’s own work, have focused largely on the Sicán-Classic, or middle-Sicán, period, which lasted from A.D. 900 to 1100.

Wester’s work “fills a large void that we have,” said Shimada, of Southern Illinois University, who was not involved in the new discovery.

But Shimada said it’s still too early conclude that the person buried in the tomb played a role in Sicán human sacrifices.

Knives made from precious metals such as copper or even gold were status symbols for the Sicán elite, Shimada said. It was typical for members of the upper class to be buried with such blades.

“The presence of such a knife alone does not provide enough basis to say the person was a priest or that they performed sacrifices,” Shimada said.

“Unless the knife were analyzed and contained DNA or blood samples, you cannot really make that kind of logical connection.”

Live game to be shown on Facebook

An FA Cup qualifying round tie that would normally attract a crowd of about 90 people could boast a potential global audience of 700 million after an agreement was reached to broadcast Friday’s match on the social networking site Facebook.

The extra-preliminary round fixture between Ascot United and Wembley will become the first match ever to be broadcast live on the site after a deal was struck between the Football Association and the competition’s new main sponsors Budweiser.

Budweiser’s marketing director Iain Newell said the company, who earlier this year signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the FA worth 24 million pounds ($39.4 million), were intent on taking soccer’s oldest competition back to global pre-eminence, and at the same time, take it back to the fans.

“The FA Cup started 140 years ago this year and what better way to do demonstrate our commitment than by broadcasting the very first kick to a global audience via Facebook,” Newell told reporters.Anime supplier

Much of the lead-up talk had surrounded how defender Luke Wilkshire would handle Bale.

However it was the Tottenham star that was nearly caught out as Wilkshire came agonisingly close to scoring in the 35th minute.
