RECALLED LAGOS DOCS VOW NOT TO RESUME UNTIL...

It is no longer news that the sacked Lagos Doctors have been recalled.

What is new is that they have vowed not to resume work until they get
letters reinstating them.

They said since the LASG issued letters disengaging them, they should
equally be issued letters now that they have been recalled.

I think that makes a lotta sense though. Fashow! Just do it!

Liverpool has appointed former Swansea Manager, Brendan Rogers as their new handler. The Merseyside club presented Northern Irishman Rodgers as the successor to Kenny Dalglish at a press conference on Friday.

The 39-year-old guided Swansea to a respectable 11th place finish in the Premier League last season, their first campaign at the highest level since 1983.

He led the club to promotion from the Championship via the play-offs after moving to Swansea in 2010 following spells in charge of Watford and Reading.

Liverpool will appoint a sporting director to work alongside Rodgers.

Brendan Said:

"I'm really excited and I can't wait to get started on this incredible project going forward. I promise to dedicate my life to fight for this club and defend the great principles of Liverpool Football Club on and off the field."

Sane says:

LAMPARD OUT OF EURO 2012

Frank Lampard is out of England's Euro 2012 campaign with a thigh injury suffered in training on Wednesday.

The news was confirmed after the Chelsea midfielder, 33, was examined by medical staff after a scan. Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson will be called into the squad, subject to agreement from Uefa's medical team.

"It's a huge blow for the team, especially coming after the loss of another senior player in Gareth Barry," said manager Roy Hodgson.

"The fact that the doctor cannot guarantee Frank could take part in any of the group matches means we have to replace him in the central midfield area.

"Apart from it being a huge blow to me and the team, I'm especially disappointed for Frank himself," he added.

"He has been in very good form and was looking forward to the tournament. He made a huge contribution towards us qualifying for the Euros so it is cruel to be forced out through injury just before the tournament."

CARLING CUP NOW 'CAPITAL ONE' CUP FROM NEXT SEASON.

Capital One has been confirmed as the title
sponsor of the League Cup after signing a four-
year deal with the Football League.
The credit card brand will replace Carling from the
start of the 2012/13 season. The Molson Coors owned
brand all but ended its 14-year association in
September last year after failing to agree an
extension before the end of its exclusive negotiation
period.
The value of the deal is undisclosed. The Football
League had been pushing hard to improve the £20m
over three-years Carling is said to have paid and had
cast its net globally to find a sponsor to match its
aspirations to sell the now Capital One Cup to
international broadcasters.
Capital One is owned by US company Capital One
Financial Corporation. But for the UK, it has limited
presence outside North America after scaling back
interests in Spain, Italy, France and South Africa.
For Capital One, the sponsorship offers an
opportunity to boost brand awareness. Marketing of
late has been limited to direct and press channels.

11-year-old Syrian boy pretended to be dead to survive massacre

When the gunmen began to slaughter his family, 11-year-old Ali
el-Sayed says he fell to the floor of his home, soaking his clothes
with his brother's blood to fool the killers into thinking he was
already dead.
The Syrian boy tried to stophimself from trembling, even as the
gunmen, with long beards and shaved heads, killed his parents and all
four of his siblings, one by one.
The youngest to die was Ali's brother, 6-year-old Nader. His small
body bore two bullet holes — one in his head, another in his back.
"I put my brother's blood all over me and acted like I was dead," Ali
told The Associated Press over Skype on Wednesday, his raspy voice
steady and matter-of-fact, five days after the killing spree that left
him both an orphan and an only child.
Ali is one of the few survivors of a weekend massacre in Houla, a
collection of poor farming villages and olive groves in Syria's
central Homs province. More than 100 people were killed, many of them
women and children who were shot or stabbed in their houses.
The killings brought immediate, worldwide condemnation of
PresidentBashar Assad, who has unleashed a violent crackdown on an
uprising that began in March 2011. Activists say as many as 13,000
people have been killed since the revolt began.
U.N. investigators and witnesses blame at least some of the Houla
killings on shadowy gunmen known as shabiha who operate on behalf of
Assad's government.
Recruited from the ranks of Assad's Alawite religiouscommunity, the
militiamenenable the government to distance itself from direct
responsibility for the execution-style killings, torture and revenge
attacks that have become hallmarks of the shabiha.
In many ways, the shabiha are more terrifying than the army and
security forces, whose tactics include shelling residential
neighborhoods and firing on protesters. The swaggering gunmen are
deployed specifically to brutalize and intimidate Assad's opponents.
Activists who helped collectthe dead in the aftermath of the Houla
massacre described dismembered bodies in the streets, and row upon row
of corpses shrouded in blankets.
"When we arrived on the scene we started seeing the scale of the
massacre," said Ahmad al-Qassem, a 35-year-old activist. "I saw a kid
with his brains spilling out, another child who was no more than 1
year old who was stabbed in the head. The smell of death was
overpowering."
The regime denies any responsibility for the Houlakillings, blaming
them on terrorists. And even if the shabiha are responsible forthe
killings, there is no clear evidence that the regime directly ordered
themassacre in a country spiraling toward civil war.
As witness accounts begin to leak out, it remains to be seen what,
exactly, prompted the massacre. Although the Syrian uprising has been
among the deadliest of the Arab Spring, the killings in Houlastand out
for their sheer brutality and ruthlessness.

'HE MUST TELL ME HIMSELF' GUARDIOLA WANTS TO MEET ABRAMOVIC

A team from Chelsea has traveled to Spain to lure the erstwhile Barca
coach to Chelsea.

He has been offered a whooping £11million per year. This will make him
one of the best paid coaches in the world.


But the true dealbreakers have nothing to do withmoney: among the
assurances and enticements being dangled in front of Guardiola is a
guarantee that therewill be no pressure at all to win trophies in his
first two seasons in charge, thus allowing him time to reshape the
club from the ground up.
And a Chelsea source says that the Russian oil tycoon will do whatever
it takes at the face-to-face meeting to bring Guardiola on board:"If
it takes a big meeting with Abramovich to get the deal done, that's
what must happen," a source said.

VERY EMBARRASSING PUBLIC PUNISHMENTS

These are hilarious.

ReShonda Tate Billingsley caught her 12-year-old daughter posing with a bottle of vodka in an Instagram photo, with the caption "I sure wish I could drink this!" Unfortunate, obviously. So ReShonda, obviously wise to how reputation and value allotment work on tweenage brats, decided to make her daughter pose with the above photo and post it to her Facebook page. Her daughter was mortified, of course. "She actually asked for a spanking instead; she begged for a spanking," Billingsley said. (Link | Via)

Two Bedford PA women who stole a 9-year-old girl's gift card on her birthday publicized the matter as part of Bedford County District Attorney Bill Higgins' public punishment initiative. Fifty-six-year-old Evelyn Border and her daughter, Tina Griekspoor, 35, stood outside the Bedford County Courthouse displaying signs as part of a plea agreement. Higgins said he will ask the court to impose a sentence of probation instead of a jail sentence. The women displayed the signs for 4-1/2 hours after being charged with theft.

In 2007, after a mother in Temecula, Calif. learned that her daughter was bullying other students, forced the 12-year-old to stand outside the school with a sign reading, "I engaged in bullying behavior..."

This mother decided to punish her son by sharing a secret of his on Facebook. (Link)

Nigerian appointed London police first black commander

Victor Olisa, a UK-based Nigerian and a Chief
Superintendent with the London Metropolitan Police
has been appointed as the first black commander for
Bexley local council in London.
"Policing runs in the family and I have always wanted
to be a police officer and ethnicity does not affect
that" Olisa told the Europe Correspondent of the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in his reaction on the
appointment in London.
Olisa, whose grandfather was a police officer in
Nigeria, said his focus was on the job rather than on
being the ``first black'' adding that his ethnicity
never affected the way he carried out his duties.
``I consider myself first and foremost a police officer.
If (being black) is an advantage, then brilliant; If it's a
disadvantage, I will have to deal with that, I can't
hide it.''
Olisa said a lot was being done to address racism
within the force adding that it was the responsibility
of the force to correct wrongs and not an institution
for people with racist views.
``I am impeccably against anyone who uses racist
language or behaves in a racist manner. This will not
be allowed under my watch.
``I believe that everyone should be treated with
dignity wherever they come from,'' Olisa said.
Olisa, 52, born in Warri, Delta, is one of the three
chief superintendents from black minority ethnic
background working for the Metropolitan Police.
He started his career in Surrey Police in 1982 before
transferring to the City of London Police in 1990 as
detective inspector in the Fraud Squad.
After a spell at the Home Office, he transferred to the
Metropolitan police in 2006 as a superintendent in
Southwark Council before his recent appointment.
