When Barcelona midfield maestro Xavi came on as a half-time substitute against PSG in the Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night he sent records tumbling. The former Spain international played for 148th time in the competition, more than any other player since the tournament changed to its current format in 1992. Xavi also set the record for the most appearances in the knockout phase of the Champions League having now featured in 53 matches in the latter stages. Xavi made his 148th Champions League appearance against PSG on Tuesday night . Former Spain international Xavi shares a joke with his former team-mate Zlatan Ibrahimovic after the game . They are not records that the 35-year-old is likely to hold on his own for long, however. Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas is in line to equal Xavi's total in both Champions League games and knockout matches when Carlo Ancelotti's side take on Atletico in the second leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday night. While, Casillas' team-mate Cristiano Ronald will join Xavi on 53 knockout appearances if, as expected, he plays against Atletico. Former world champion Xavi also became the leading appearance-maker in all European competition with 170. Xavi celebrates with his team-mates after Barcelona won the Champions League in 2009 . Xavi (centre front) lines up for a Champions League clash against Manchester United in 1998 . Barcelona's safe passage to the semi-final was secured with a 2-0 win against the French champions as Neymar Jnr netted twice in the first half at the Nou Camp to give the Catalans a 5-1 aggregate win. Their progression gives Xavi the opportunity to play a further three times in the Champions League this season, should Barca reach the final. This is likely to be the midfielder's last season playing in the competition as he continues to be linked with a summer move to Qatari club Al Sadd, with reports in Spain suggesting he will sign a three-year deal. Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas can equal Xavi's Champions League appearances - all time and in the knockout phase - if he faces Atletico on Wednesday night . Cristiano Ronaldo will also draw level with Xavi for knockout stage appearances if he features on Wednesday . Casillas, meanwhile, has to help Real Madrid overcome their local rivals at the Bernabeu if he is to have any chance of adding to his appearances this season. Though the Spain goalkeeper is almost certain to pass his former international team-mate next season. Casillas has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid but joining a club playing in the Champions League would be a prerequisite for the experienced keeper.

Summary: Barcelona beat PSG 2-0 on Tuesday to reach Champions League semi-final . Xavi came on at half-time to make his 148th appearance in the competition . It is more than any other player but Iker Casillas can equal it on Wednesday . Xavi also broke the record for most knockout stage appearances with 53 .

We all want to win on Sunday but it will be a difficult game. Stamford Bridge must be ready to push us. ‘The April month, where everybody expected Chelsea to drop points playing difficult matches against teams fighting not to be relegated as well as Arsenal and Man United, was exactly the month where we destroy opponents. ‘It was a month without Diego (Costa), without (Loic) Remy, with Didier (Drogba) and Oscar playing striker, no other solutions, just this small group of players we have. We were tactically phenomenal, team spirit, team ethic, the way we defended, the way we were clinical with our goals, the stability we showed in every game. ‘In this moment we are 13 points ahead of second. We won every game except the draw against Arsenal. The boys, when the pressure was on, were even stronger. ‘The old and the young. Petr Cech, great performance, John, Didier, Branislav (Ivanovic), but other giants on the pitch, (Nemanja) Matic, (Cesc) Fabregas, Ramires. A great team. So I'm so, so happy.

Terry added: ‘They were a tough side and they kept fighting. We got a telling off at half-time and we came out and played excellently in the second half. It wasn't good enough in the first half but listen, we got the three points.

Labour will ban bosses employing regular staff on zero-hours contracts for any longer than 12 weeks. Ed Miliband said it was 'not good enough' for millions of workers not to know how many hours they would be working from one week to the next. He said a Labour government would give workers the right to demand a 'regular contract if they do regular hours' after three months. Scroll down for video . Labour party leader Ed Miliband announced the zero-hours contract ban to workers at David Brown Gear Systems in Huddersfield this morning . Mr Miliband said it was 'not good enough' for millions of workers not to know how many hours they would be working from one week to the next . Mr Miliband's announcement comes after David Cameron struggled to say if he could live on a zero-hours contract after being grilled by Jeremy Paxman last week. In an interview with BBC Breakfast this morning, Mr Miliband said: 'If it's not good enough for us, I don't think it is good enough for the people of Britain, and that's why we have got to make this change.' Mr Miliband said there had been an 'epidemic' of zero-hours contracts under the Coalition and dismissed fears scrapping them could force companies to lay off staff. It is estimated there are now 1.8million contracts in the UK that do not guarantee any hours – with as many as one in seven jobs now zero-hours. ONS data shows that 58 per cent of people on zero-hours contracts have been with their current employer for over a year, and that workers on the contracts work 23 hours a week on average. Mr Miliband said workers should be given the right after 12 weeks to demand 'a regular contract if they do regular hours'. He said: 'I think it goes right to the heart of the election campaign. I don't believe we can build a successful country when working people are facing that kind of insecurity. 'There is an issue about the number of hours, but there is also an issue about the unpredictability of the hours. That's the insecurity people face.' The Labour Party leader arrived in Yorkshire this morning for a question and answer session with workers on the second full-day of the campaign . He said most businesses did not use zero-hours contracts, but added: 'The trouble is for some businesses this has become the primary way that they employ people and I don't think it's the right way forward for our country. 'Zero hour contracts are just one example of the insecurity of our economy and what has happened over the last five years. David Cameron says it has all been a great success – I'll let the British people be the judge of that.' The Tories have already announced that it would ban exclusivity clauses which stop staff on zero-hours contracts from working for other companies. Under Labour's plan, workers will also be entitled to compensation if shifts are cancelled at short notice. The proposal goes well beyond the recommendations made

Summary: Labour leader said it's 'not good enough' for staff not to have regular pay . He said workers should get the right to a regular contract after 3 months . Comes after the PM struggled to say if he could live on zero-hours contract .


Hillary Clinton has garnered one of her first major endorsements in run bid for the White House: The nation's largest lesbian political action committee. The group, LPAC, launched Lesbians4Hillary on Monday to support the former First Lady's bid to become the nation's first female president. Lesbians4Hillary, co-chaired by pioneering tennis great Billie Jean King, said: 'Hillary Clinton is a proven leader and she has a strong track record when it comes to inclusion -- specifically for women and the LGBTQ community. Scroll down for video . Tennis star Billie Jean King (right) is co-chairing the Lesbians4Hillary campaign. King, pictured with Clinton in 2008, helped run the former Fiirst Lady's 2008 Women for Hillary Clinton wing . King, pictured with Clinton in 2001, said: 'Hillary Clinton is a proven leader and she has a strong track record when it comes to inclusion -- specifically for women and the LGBTQ community' 'Her entire career has been a road map to get her to this moment and she has earned my respect and my vote to become the next President of the United States of America. I am honored to join LPAC and help lead our effort to elect Hillary Clinton in 2016.' King, who was outed as a lesbian in 1981, was a leader of the group 'Women for Hillary' in 2008, as well. The video in which Hillary announced she was running for president included a clip of a lesbian couple . The Twitter handle for the new group is @lezs4hillary . Many gays and lesbians point to Clinton's 2011 speech in Switzerland as Secretary of State in which she declared: 'Human rights are gay rights and gay rights are human rights.' In the video released yesterday announcing Clinton's candidacy for president, two gay couples were included. Among them, two lesbians who look lovingly into each other's eyes. However, in her 2008 campaign, Clinton did not support gay marriage. It took her five years - to publicly say that she supported gay marriage. President Barack Obama publicly announced his support for gay marriage nearly a year earlier in March 2012. The Economist called Clinton's stance on gay marriage, 'cautious to the point of cowardice.' 'It is not convincing to argue, as her supporters do, that she is only free to make her views known now that she has stepped down as America's chief diplomat. Her successor at the State Department, John Kerry, and has not been stoned as a blasphemer on any of his stops around the world to date,' the magazine's US columnist wrote. Critics also point out that as First Lady, she did not oppose her husband signing 'Don't Ask Don't Tell,' which banned being openly gay in the military or the Defense of Marriage Act, which banned gay marriage at the federal level.

Summary: LPAC, a pro-LGBT Super PAC, launched Lesbians4Hillary on Monday . Group is co-chaired by tennis great Billie Jean King . Hillary Clinton opposed gay marriage until 2013 - a year after Obama came out in support . She also did not publicly object to passage of Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act as First Lady under her husband's administration .


It is the biggest culinary question which divides the Westcountry: when eating a scone, do you add jam or cream first? Today David Cameron waded into the long-running dispute, and quickly got into a muddle about the Devon and Cornish way of eating a cream tea. The Prime Minister made the gaffe on a campaign visit to Devon, before risking the wrath of purists by claiming 'it all tastes the same'. Scroll down for video . David Cameron, on a visit to Devon this morning, made the blunder of confusing the two methods for eating a cream tea . How do you eat your scone? How do you eat your scone? Now share your opinion . The Tory leader has spent the day campaigning in Devon, where he must win several seats if he is to stand any chance of winning a majority. But his hopes of courting support in the county were given a knock with his food faux pas as he chatted with staff and customers of Tea by the Taw on The Strand in Barnstaple, the North Devon Gazette reported. All good politicians know how to make small talk with voters, but the jam and cream debate is no trifling matter. In an attempt to woo the locals, Mr Cameron ventured: 'When you are in Devon you do the jam and the cream in a different order to Cornwall, is that right?' Sensing a gaffe was imminent, he went on: 'I'm going to get this wrong, aren't I?' His prediction was correct, as he added: 'In Devon it's... jam first and cream on top?' His comments were greeted with silence and stony faces, as the staff realised someone was going to have to put the Prime Minister right. 'Wrong way round. I knew I'd get it wrong,' Mr Cameron said. 'It all tastes the same, doesn't it?'. Wrangles over whether it should be jam first or cream, and whipped cream or clotted, have been running for generations, with references to the sweet treat dating back to the 11th century. The Devon tradition is to slather the scone with cream first, while the Cornish – who also lay claim to inventing cream teas – prepare their scones the opposite way. Two years ago, an academic devised what was claimed to be the mathematical formula for the perfect cream tea, and it used the Cornish way. Dr Eugenia Cheng, of Sheffield University, concluded that the best weight ratio is 2:1:1, which means an average scone, weighing 70g, requires 35g of jam and 35g of cream . The Tory leader has spent the day campaigning in Devon, where he must win several seats if he is to stand any chance of winning a majority . Academic Dr Eugenia Cheng, of Sheffield University, devised what was claimed to be the mathematical formula for the perfect cream tea, and it used the Cornish way. Dr Cheng set the ideal thickness of the scone, with all its elements added, at about 2.8cm, allowing a relaxed open width of the mouth when taking a bite. The

Summary: Prime Minister makes culinary blunder as he tries to woo Devon voters . Chatting in a Barnstaple cafe, he tried to guess jam or cream first . Cornish use jam with cream on top, but people in Devon do it in reverse .

It seems when it comes to royal fashion faux pas, birds of a feather really do flock together. Yesterday the Countess of Wessex and Princess Beatrice were not exactly fly-away style winners with their feathered hats as they joined the Queen at Windsor for an Easter Sunday service. Sophie, 50, wife of Prince Edward, wore a beret-style percher hat topped with large, dark plumes, while Beatrice, 26, the elder daughter of the Duke of York and Sarah Ferguson, opted for an unusual blue creation. With them, and sporting a slightly more subtly coloured hat embellished with a large rose, was Autumn Phillips, 36, wife of the Queen’s grandson Peter Phillips. Lady Louise Windsor, the countess’ 11-year-old daughter, made up the four royal ladies. Scroll down for video .

Nico Rosberg is too polite to say what precisely he finds irritating about the team-mate with whom he is locked in the battle of his career. Sitting in an air-conditioned room away from the dry heat of the Bahrain paddock, he goes so far as to say this of Lewis Hamilton: ‘I know exactly how he is functioning. I understand him really, really well. All his attitudes. I can tell why he is doing whatever he is doing. Sometimes he annoys me. Some character traits.’ Go on, then, tell us what it is that gets under your skin. Lewis Hamilton waves after qualifying on pole position for the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday .

At this point the door of the Mercedes hospitality area, in which Rosberg and I are sitting alone, opens fast and loudly. It is Hamilton invading the quiet of the interview. He turns to face the door he has just walked through and slammed shut, his head down, and shouts in an almost childlike way: ‘Phew, phew, man, it’s hot,’ deporting himself as if he is about to pass out from heat stroke. ‘You see...?’ says Rosberg, his eyebrows arched. The daunting task he faces against his extraordinary team-mate was made vividly clear under the lights in qualifying for Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix. Not only will he start behind Hamilton for the fourth consecutive race but behind the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel, who is emerging as a putative title contender. ROSBERG'S CORNER . Keke Rosberg .

An associate dean of students at the University of Virginia said Wednesday a widely discredited Rolling Stone article caused her professional and personal harm by portraying her as insensitive and unresponsive to an alleged victim of a gang rape. Nicole P. Eramo said in an open letter Wednesday to the magazine's publisher, Jann S. Wenner, that the magazine has not done enough to make amends. 'Rolling Stone has deeply damaged me both personally and professionally,' Eramo wrote. 'Using me as the personification of a heartless administration, the Rolling Stone article attacked my life's work.' Scroll down to read full letter... Hitting back: U.Va. dean Nicole P. Eramo blasted Rolling Stone in an open letter on Wednesday over its retracted campus rape story . The magazine furthered its 'malicious and false allegations by accompanying the article with a cartoonish picture of me doctored to appear as though I was smiling and giving a "thumbs up" to a crying victim,' Eramo writes. The magazine retracted an article about sexual violence at U.Va. after the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism issued a scathing report this month concluding Rolling Stone had failed to meet journalistic standards. The magazine pledged to review its practices and removed 'A Rape on Campus' from its website. Wenner said he won't fire anyone. The Charlottesville police department has said it had found no evidence to back the claims of the victim identified in the story only as 'Jackie,' who said she was raped by seven men at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house. Not enough? Eramo said the article falsely said she tried to discourage victim 'Jackie' (left) from reporting or discussing the alleged assault. The article's author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely (right), has previously apologized, saying she would not repeat the same mistakes but has not been fired . Eramo said the article falsely said she tried to discourage Jackie from reporting or discussing the alleged assault. Eramo said she in fact 'arranged for Jackie to meet with detectives almost immediately after she provided information' about being victimized at the fraternity house. The fallout from the article's false portrayal has included emails 'expressing that hope that I be killed or raped, and commenting on that they hoped that I had a daughter so that she could be raped,' she wrote. Eramo said the article has also hurt her ability to work with students and victims with whom she'd developed relationships. A spokeswoman for Rolling Stone said Wednesday: 'We sincerely regret any pain we caused Dean Nicole Eramo and others affected by this story.' The article's author, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, has previously apologized, saying she would not repeat the same mistakes. Eramo has hired a law firm that specializes in defamation cases, but has not said what her legal plans are. Phi Kappa Psi announced after the Columbia report came out that it will 'pursue all available legal action' against Rolling Stone. To date, no lawsuit has been filed.

A driver destroyed a young woman's life when he smashed into her car after taking a lethal cocktail of drink and prescription drugs has been jailed. Tara McIntyre, 24, was left virtually wheelchair-bound after Ben Hagon's high-powered Mercedes sports car crashed into her at up to 75mph, a court heard. She had just popped out to the shops in her small KA when she was hit by the drunk-driver and suffered the life-changing injuries which included a fractured spine and pelvis. The court heard that Hagon, who already had a conviction for drink-driving in 2003, had taken prescription tranquilisers and was more than twice the legal alcohol limit when got behind the wheel. Judge David Turner branded Hagon's driving 'madness' - and accused him of changing Miss McIntyre's life for the worse for ever. Sentencing him to two years and eight months in prison, Judge Turner said: 'Miss McIntyre went on what ought to have been a simple shopping trip and has been left with injuries which are literally life changing. 'She will be dependent on others for help for the rest of her life. The medical consequences have been utterly traumatic.' 'This personal catastrophe has been brought about fully by those moments of madness in your driving. 'I accept you feel considerable remorse. This is frankly as bad a piece of driving in combination one can imagine.' Hagon was overtaking a line of cars on the A131 at High Garrett, near Braintree, Essex (pictured) when he ploughed into the side of Miss McIntyre's Ford Ka . Chelmsford Crown Court heard that Hagon was overtaking a line of cars on the A131 at High Garrett, near Braintree, Essex, when he ploughed into the side of Miss McIntyre's Ford Ka as she waited to turn right. One eye-witness estimated he was hitting 75mph in the 40mph stretch of road in his 54-plate Mercedes SLK. But others said his speed was closer to 50-60mph before the horrifying smash at about 2.15pm on February 2 last year. Police crash investigators found that Hagon had made no attempt to brake. Miss McIntyre was rushed to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, by air ambulance suffering head injuries, a fractured spine and pelvis, and a cut to her artery. She spent the next three months in hospital, including some time in an induced coma, and a further two months in a special rehabilitation facility. Miss McIntyre was rushed to Addenbrooke's Hospital after the crash with terrible head injuries, a fractured spine and pelvis . The formerly independent young woman now needs help with basic day-to-day tasks and has been told she will spend most of her life in a wheelchair as she is only able to walk just 60 yards with a stick. She was also left partially sighted and had to learn to speak again after brain damage caused by the crash. Miss McIntyre's boyfriend, who was sitting beside her in the front seat, amazingly escaped with minor injuries, as did Hagon.

Summary: Tara McIntyre, 24, was left with life-changing injuries after horrifying smash . Ben Hagon had been more than double legal alcohol limit when he crashed . Witnesses claimed his Mercedes was speeding up to 75mph in 40mph zone . Victim suffered fractured spine and pelvis leaving her wheelchair-bound .

'This has happened a number of times around the country, I have read about it in the past,' Bates responded. 'I thought to myself after reading several cases, "I don't understand how

It was home to a 65-year-old hoarder and her mother's corpse for at least five years. Described by police as the 'worst we have ever seen', the San Francisco property was teeming with black widows, rats, feces and 300 bottles of urine when it was discovered on April 4. But apparently, it's still a hot ticket. Just a week after removing the rodents, trash, and corpse, realtors have priced this San Francisco property at a cool $2.5 million. The 1904 Victorian build in Bay Area will be sold at a live auction by Tim Hawko of Zephyr Real Estate. Still worth it! Property developers are expected to pay millions for this house which was made available last week after police evicted a 65-year-old hoarder and removed her mother's five-year-old mummified corpse . With seven bedrooms and two bathrooms, the single-story property has the structure of a valuable home. And according to experts, the eerie backstory could even add to the intrigue. Kevin Birmingham, a real estate agent, told the San Francisco Chronicle it will primarily be property developers bidding for the home, in the hope that they can perform a magical turnaround. 'The people looking at hoarder houses are developers or investors, so the fact that someone passed away—whether mummified or not—it doesn't bother them a bit,' he said. The remains which were removed from the house on April 4 are believed to be that of Anna Ragin who lived with her 65-year-old daughter Carolyn, a hoarder. Neighbors told The San Francisco Chronicle the mother had not been seen for years. According to records another man, Archibald Ragin, lived at the property but died 15 years ago at the age of 101. Carolyn, said to be a retired Pacific Bell worker, was taken to hospital after her mother's body was removed from the house. She is now being mentally assessed. Police removed the body, believed to be that of Anna Ragin, from the property in the Richmond area of San Francisco. Authorities said the home was covered in debris, including dog feces and bottles of urine . Supervisor Eric Mar, a representative in charge of the area, told the Chronicle : 'The police captains I've spoken with tell me this is the worst case of hoarding they have ever seen.' He was concerned for the health and safety of the residents, but questioned how the situation in the property could have gotten to such a point. Mr Mar said: 'We certainly want seniors to stay in their communities as long as possible, but when people aren’t getting adequate health care and attention, this is what happens. 'This appears to be a nightmare of what can happen when people age in place for too long,' he added. 'We need to identify what the triggers are for the city to step in.' He told the Daily Mail Online that he heard the body was wrapped up in a carpet and described that, from the outside, it looked like the home was abandoned. When city workers arrived to clean up the body on Wednesday, they

To hear Leigh Griffiths tell it, the intervention staged by Celtic boss Ronny Deila and assistant John Collins was definitely closer to a kick in the what-nots than it was a pat on the back. Whatever the detail of the conversation, and however lasting the effects may be, the short-term impact on the 24-year-old force of nature — often as unruly and unpredictable as a whirlwind — has been nothing short of remarkable. As the kid himself puts it: ‘Being top scorer now means that, since I have had a talk with the manager, I have knuckled down and proved him wrong, proved JC wrong and shown that I deserve to be here.’ Hat-trick hero Leigh Griffiths with signed match ball and man of the match award . Rather revealing, isn’t it? Clearly demanding Deila and original gym rat Collins did not hold back in dealing with the gifted but wild natural talent, wielding a big stick in a bid to persuade Griffiths that the carrot wasn’t such a bad alternative to chips and tea cakes. ‘I had to improve,’ admits the former Hibs star. ‘I wasn’t playing at the start of the season. I had a talk with the manager and John Collins about everything and about what they wanted me to do. ‘Thankfully, in the two months since the turn of the year, I have knuckled down and they are seeing the rewards now. ‘What did they say to me? I had to be working hard in the gym and working hard to get my fitness levels up. I did that and I have been bang on form since the turn of the year. ‘When I was at Hibs, I would have been the first name on the team sheet given the goals I scored. ‘But coming here, it’s a massive club and, with the new manager coming into the club, he wanted to impose his own philosophy. ‘Playing one up front, you have to work hard and my fitness levels were not up to his standards. Since January, though, my fitness levels have been good and I have been scoring goals. ‘I was brought to Celtic to score goals and I’ve started to do that since the turn of the year. I haven’t set any new targets — but I do want a good run of games. ‘I want to be starting every game from now until the end of the season and score as many goals as I possibly can. Celtic's Leigh Griffiths (right) completes his hat-trick against Kilmarnock . ‘The manager selects the team he thinks is best to win the game and we have boys in the squad and coming on from the bench. ‘Myself, Anthony Stokes, Stuart Armstrong, Gary Mackay-Steven were all on the bench against Kilmarnock.’ Griffiths is making a stronger case than most by banging in the goals, his hat-trick in Wednesday night’s 4-1 home win over Kilmarnock definitely ranking among the better substitute performances the Scottish game has seen this season. His second treble haul in Celtic colours took his total for

Summary: Leigh Griffiths revealed that Ronny Deila and John Collins warned him . The Celtic striker took a while to settle in at his new club after his move . Griffiths has been in red-hot form and scored three against Kilmarnock .


Some see the addition of Jimmy Graham to the Seattle Seahawks' offense as one of the best moves of free agency, but Michael Bennett still thinks he's overrated. Bennett labelled the tight end 'soft' and 'overrated', not to mention adding that 'he didn't like him as a person or a player', after Seattle's playoff win over the Saints two years ago. And now that Graham's on board to seemingly add a genuine red zone threat to Darrell Bevell's predominantly ground and pound offense, the defensive end had some choice words for his new team-mate. 'I still feel the same way,' Bennett told 710 ESPN Seattle. Michael Bennett rides a policeman's bike after the Seahawks' famous NFC Championship win over Green Bay . Bennett tackles Eddie Lacy as the Seahawks bounced back from 16-7 with just over two minutes remaining . Jimmy Graham signed a deal with Seattle which gives Russell Wilson a 6ft 7in target to aim at . 'Just because he's on my team I don't stop feeling that way. Obviously I'm going to be a better team-mate to him because he's on my team. I can't do the things I was doing to him when we were playing him.' Bennett did soften a little, adding: 'Obviously, I'm going to be a better team-mate to him because he's on my team. I can't do the things I was doing to him when we were playing him. 'When he comes to our team, he's a part of our team. We have a different philosophy than they have with the Saints so the things that he was expected to do [with] the Saints are going to be different when he comes here. Obviously, we're a running team, so he's going to have to block and do all those things. 'I don't feel as harsh as I did at the time because he's my team-mate now, but at the time he was on the opposite team, a team that we played that was pretty good and we battled with them a couple times, and I didn't really like that team.' Bennett came on the airwaves to address rumours that he had asked for a trade to join former defensive co-ordinator Dan Quinn at the Atlanta Falcons. 'I never asked for it. I didn't come to them asking for a trade. I'm still trying to figure out how a guy from Dallas make up a story about me. I'm living in Seattle, I'm like, "How does that happen?"' 'I'm in Hawaii surfing, got the kids surfing in the ocean and they are talking about something else. The story was broken by Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and it appeared to vex the ebullient Bennett, who added: 'Man, like I said, they made rumours about Jesus, they'll make rumours about anybody.' Bennett will come face-to-face with Graham on April 20 when the Seahawks begin their official off-season training programme.

Summary: Bennett slated Graham after the Seahawks beat the Saints in the playoffs two years ago . And even though the tight end joined Seattle, the defensive lineman says his views have not changed . 'Just because he's on my team I don't stop feeling that way,' he said . Bennett also denied he asked for a trade to the Atlanta Falcons .


Gary Hooper came off the bench to snatch a dramatic stoppage-time winner to keep Norwich City on track for automatic promotion in the Sky Bet Championship after Neil Lennon's battling Bolton came within minutes of gaining a point. Former Celtic star Hooper's goal sparked jubilant scenes on the Canaries bench in contrast to the dejection of his one-time Parkhead boss Neil Lennon. Indeed, Hooper had been a transfer target for Lennon earlier in the season so his winning goal was a double blow for the Ulsterman. Gary Hooper celebrates after earning Norwich three points with a stoppage-time winner against Bolton . Former Celtic striker Hooper is mobbed by his team-mates as Norwich remained second in the Championship . Bolton: Bogdan, Vela, Dervite, Ream, Moxey, Bannan, Walker (Janko 87), Feeney, Gudjohnsen (Danns 82), Heskey, Le Fondre . Subs not used: Lonergan, M Davies, Trotter, Rochinha, McCarthy . Booked: Walker, Moxey . Scorer(s): Le Fondre . Norwich: Ruddy; Whittaker (R Bennett 71), Martin, Bassong, Olsson, Tettey, Howson, Dorrans, Hoolahan (Grabban 57), Redmond (Hooper 66), Jerome . Subs not used: Rudd, E Bennett, O'Neil, Odjidja-Ofoe . Booked: Bennett . Scorer(s): Dorrans 9, Hooper 90+ . Referee: James Adcock . Graham Dorrans gave the Canaries an early lead as his right-footed free-kick deflected off Josh Vela into the net, but Adam Le Fondre looked to have rescued a point and extended Bolton's unbeaten run to four games. Instead, Hooper lobbed keeper Adam Bogdan - as the Wanderers defenders switched off - to score an invaluable goal. Lennon had promised his side would spoil a few parties in the remaining games of the season with Brantford and Bournemouth coming up in the next few weeks. That looked to be the case until Hooper's strike made it five wins in the last six meetings between the teams. Norwich made the perfect start with Dorrans' deflected free-kick after Vela took down Nathan Redmond on the edge of the area. The Canaries should have doubled their advantage six minutes later as Sebastien Bassong rose highest at a corner but cleared Bogdan's crossbar by some distance. Hooper lobs the ball over Adam Bogdan to spark jubilant scenes on the Canaries bench . Former West Brom midfielder Graham DOrrans celebrates after giving the visitors the lead on Saturday . And the visitors were in total control when Wanderers drew level totally against the run of play. It was so one-sided manager Lennon was poised to bring on Neil Danns to shore up his midfield. Instead, youngster Tom Walker, who had been guilty of delaying a cross moments earlier, learned his lesson. His flashing centre from the left picked out Le Fondre inside the six-yard box and the on-loan Cardiff City striker, back in the side after missing the Easter Monday trip to South Wales, finished with ease. Walker continued to prove a threat to the visitors' defence with his elusive running and was harshly booked for a foul on Wes Hoolahan. Liam Feeney shot narrowly wide from another Walker cross that fizzed beyond three static Norwich defenders before the Canaries rediscovered their

Summary: Norwich beat Bolton 2-1 at the Macron Stadium in the Championship . Graham Dorrans gave the visitors the lead inside 10 minutes . Adam Le Fondre drew Neil Lennon's side level after 18 . Gary Hooper won the game for Norwich in the closing moments . Norwich remain second ahead of Watford on goal difference .


David Cameron has revealed that he and his wife Samantha were 'falling apart' with the pressure of trying to care for their son Ivan after he was born disabled. In an intensely personal interview, he revealed: 'We weren't falling out with each other, but we were falling apart just coping with the nights and everything.' His comments were echoed by his wife who, in a separate interview, said the stresses of looking after Ivan pushed their relationship close to 'breaking point'. Scroll down for video . David Cameron has revealed that he and his wife Samantha (pictured together in 2008 with their son Ivan) were 'falling apart' with the pressure of trying to care for their son after he was born with a rare brain disorder . Ivan (pictured) was born with Ohtahara Syndrome, a rare brain disorder which left him in a wheelchair, needing to be fed through a tube and suffering from cerebral palsy and severe epileptic fits. He died aged six in 2009 . In a tearful interview, Mrs Cameron spoke for the first time of the 'nightmare' of learning that their first child had a rare disorder which left him needing round-the-clock care. Within a year, she said, looking after him had left the Camerons 'totally shattered' and trying to 'find a way through'. And she described the shock of his sudden death, which came 'out of the blue'. Ivan was born with Ohtahara Syndrome, a rare brain disorder which left him in a wheelchair, needing to be fed through a tube and suffering from cerebral palsy and severe epileptic fits. He died aged six in 2009. Speaking days ahead of what would have been his 13th birthday on Wednesday, the Prime Minister said: 'It's true – it is a knock. You are exhausted. You become a part-time parent, nurser, carer, doctor.' Mrs Cameron recalled how within days of Ivan's birth she knew 'something wasn't quite right' because he was making 'funny, jerky movements'. Speaking to the Mail on Sunday – which pictured her at home in Downing Street with her husband and their other children – she said: 'It's your worst nightmare. They did a whole load of tests, they push the box of tissues towards you and you feel like you're in an episode of Casualty.' Mr Cameron said Ivan was a 'blessing in lots of ways' but admitted the strains he created on their life left them both 'falling apart'. He said: 'We both worked out that we could cope, and find a way through this' Dressed, fittingly, in a fleece, David Cameron took a break from the campaign trail yesterday to be photographed feeding a newborn, orphaned lamb. He cradled the young animal to feed it milk from a bottle after dropping in at Dean Lane Farm in his Witney constituency in Oxfordshire. At one point they were snuggled up so close that they were nuzzling each other’s faces. Inevitably, it prompted a flurry of comments on Twitter, several from Labour supporters, many of them unrepeatable and several referring to mint sauce. David Cameron

Kick It Out has welcomed the successful prosecution of a supporter who racially abused former Wales goalkeeper Jason Brown and sought to answer the player's criticism over the way the incident was handled. John Wild, from Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire, was issued with a three-year banning order and ordered to carry out community service, pay compensation and cover court fees after being found guilty of racially abusing Brown while he was playing for Dartford in a Vanarama Conference fixture at Bristol Rovers last October. Brown, 32, welcomed the outcome of the case but, in doing so, also criticised a number of bodies, including Kick It Out, The Football Association and the Professional Footballers' Association, after he felt they 'did nothing about it'. Kick It Out has welcomed the successful prosecution of a supporter who racially abused Jason Brown . But Kick It Out, who work within football to promote equality and encourage inclusive practices, has responded to Brown's concerns following Wild's conviction at Bristol Magistrates Court. 'We are pleased to see the investigation undertaken by Avon and Somerset Police reach a satisfactory conclusion after Jason Brown was racially abused earlier this season,' read a Kick It Out statement, which said the organisation immediately informed the FA as soon as it was made aware of the incident. 'Paul Mortimer, Kick It Out's Professional Players Engagement Manager, met Jason on Wednesday 8 October 2014, the day after the incident, to discuss the matter in full. 'Jason gave his account of the incident and Paul clearly outlined the processes we follow when an investigation is under way, which is consistent in every case of discrimination we are involved in, throughout the meeting. 'During the discussion, Paul offered the support of Kick It Out to Jason, as we do with every complainant we are in touch with, and they both agreed to a follow-up meeting. Brown criticised Kick It Out for not doing enough to help him in his case from October last year . 'When Paul subsequently attempted to arrange a date, via phone calls and text message, to discuss with Jason how we could look to assist, Jason did not respond, nor did he to another enquiry from Kick It Out.' Kick It Out said contact was maintained with the FA 'to gain regular updates on the case' and, as the organisation has no formal investigative or regulatory powers, they work with the governing bodies on their processes and procedures, and liaise directly with the Police as and when required. 'We actively follow each complaint through to its conclusion, and if we are not satisfied with how a case is investigated, we will look to intervene,' the statement added. 'Paul's role sees him working with players from all levels of football to offer them ongoing guidance and advice, and to ensure that we are tackling issues of discrimination effectively, as a collective, across the English game. 'We will continue to push for just outcomes for all those who may be abused, and for adequate sanctions of perpetrators.' Brown, who has said in the past that

The cost of a daily lunchtime takeaway can be crippling and yet instead of making lunches at home the majority of British workers still pop to the high street to grab their midday meal. The 'meal deal' (which is not always a meal, or a deal) has seen us stave off the hunger pangs with soggy sandwiches, slimy salads and salty soups, spending an average of £1,840 a year. But we could save up to £1,300 a year if we just prepared our lunch at home. Cheese, crackers and charcuterie is a simple and delicious lunch which can be easily assembled in the office . Food website Food52's 'Not Sad Desk Lunch' series demonstrates just how simple it can be to bring healthy, cost-effective, and delicious lunches to work. These incredibly detailed ideas and recipes show how to make everything from easy-to-assemble options such cheese and crackers, to more complicated steamed Chinese buns, and Vietnamese banh mi sandwiches . Each recipe on Food52 is contributed by a member of the team who promises to keep your midday meals 'both interesting and pretty.' If you're after something simple, cheese, crackers and charcuterie will do the job. Simply choose your favourites, assemble and eat; and If you're vegetarian, swap meat for pickled vegetables and you're good to go. Make something complicated like stuffed dumplings (left) or keep it simple with a toast tartine (right) Hannah Petertil has some inspired combinations which include Cheddar, apple, and bacon jam; mozzarella and prosciuotto or manchego and dried apricots. Keeping with the theme, you could also use the handy cracker to spread a variety of toppings. Make a Greek salad cracker with cucumber, olive tapenade and feta; a hummus cracker with roasted red pepper on top; pesto crackers with thinly sliced prosciutto; or smashed avocado crackers. Don't feel like spreading? Dip instead; simply decant your spreads into containers and away you go. Workers could save up to £1,300 a year if they prepared their lunch at home instead of buying pre-packed sandwiches and snacks from shops, research by vouchercloud.com revealed. More than 60 per cent of Britons who buy their lunches out spend an average of £1,840 a year, based on 46 working weeks, the research reveals. In comparison, those who prepare food at home spend just £552 over the same period - a saving of a whopping £1,288. The startling difference came to light following a poll of adults across the UK, which found that a fifth of Britons choose to purchase their work-time lunches as opposed to making them at home. Pita bread is also another wonderful lunchtime option and can be stuffed with any number of fillings, from hard boiled eggs, smoked meat and charred vegetables. Experiment with flavour combinations; stay Mediterranean with aubergine with chickpeas and coriander or keep it British with thinly sliced roast chicken, crisp lettuce and sweet baby tomatoes. Remember, anything you can put into a sandwich can be stuffed into a pita. Still sound too complicated? Try turning toast into a tartine. Spread with butter or mayonnaise and top with

For Inverness the latest chapter in their remarkable story featured not one, but two, plot-changing twists. One featured penalty Celtic didn't get for 2-0 in which Josh Meekings handball should have also led to a sending off. The other the spot kick they did, followed by a red card for Craig Gordon. 'I've not seen it yet, but going by the reaction of the Celtic players we got away with a penalty and a sending off and that was probably the turning point in the game,' acknowledged Caley manager John Hughes after. Inverness's Josh Meekings appears to get away with a handball on the line in their win over Celtic . Caley boss John Hughes says the break, which could have meant a penalty and red card, was a turning point . 'I've not spoken to Josh. I haven't seen it - but going by the media it was definitely a hand ball. We look at the referee behind the line and all that and I know Ronny will feel aggrieved - because I certainly would. 'But it's part and parcel of football and you need a wee bit of luck to beat Celtic. 'This was their biggest game of the season because they will go on and win the league and if they had beaten us today there was a good chance they would have gone on and won the Scottish Cup. 'But when Marley Watkins was clipped by Craig Gordon and they were down to 10 men that was advantage Inverness. 'We weren't going to give Celtic the ball back, they had to come and get it and we had to be patient. 'When big Edward put us into the lead we thought it was going to be our day on the back of things that had happened. 'Celtic equalised with another free kick but it's typical of Inverness that we don't do anything easy. 'We do it the hard way and we came up with the winner through David Raven.' Hughes hauled Raven, his Scouse defender, from his backside as extra-time beckoned. Offended by the sight of one of his players resting he had a message to impart. Caley players celebrate after upsetting Celtic in a Scottish Cup semi-final 3-2 thriller . Celtic, depleted by games and absentees, were virtually on their knees after a relentless programme of midweek games. In last season's League Cup Final Inverness had been passive and unambitious prior to losing on penalties. This was no time to repeat the mistake. 'I tried to emphasise to the players they would never have a better time to go on and beat Celtic, down to 10 men in the semi final of a cup. We needed to go for it,' Hughes said. 'Before Raven scored at the back post I was looking to change it. I was going to bring on another winger, Aaron Doran, and put him in the full-back position over on the right, but more advanced so he could take their left back on. Thankfully I didn't do that and David Raven came up

Summary: Josh Meekings handball should have been a penalty and a red card . If the penalty was awarded and converted Celtic would have gone to 2-0 . Caley manager John Hughes admitted his side were fortunate in win . Virgil van Dijk scored Celtic's opener with a superb free-kick . Celtic keeper Craig Gordon was sent off early in the second half . Greg Tansey, Edward Ofere and finally Daven Raven scored for Caley .


It was once the edgiest place in town, attracting the word's biggest bands to its iconic stage - but 30 years later Cleveland's Variety Theater is silent. The venue was renowned for its rock concerts but everything changed in 1984 when heavy metal band Motorhead played a gig so loud it literally began to bring the house down. As the crowd went wild over the group's unique ear-shattering brand of music, the ceiling cracked and pieces of plaster began to fall on the audience - ending the concert and the life of the Variety Theater in one deafening shriek. Abandoned for 30 years: The Variety Theater in Cleveland was once a buzzing music venue but was closed down after the ceiling cracked during a Motorhead gig in 1984 . The power was cut off to stop the band from playing and two years later a judge ordered the theater to be sealed off for good. Built in 1927, The Variety Theater was home to one of the earliest single screen cinemas in Cleveland, Ohio, before becoming an iconic music venue. The 20,000 sq ft main stage hosted the likes of Metallica, the Dead Kennedy's and R.E.M. before Motorhead's fatal performance on December 2 1984. Since then it has stayed abandoned and hidden from public eye until now, thirty years later, a photographer has captured a collection of eery images offering a fascinating glimpse into music history. Seph Lawless, the 37-year-old photojournalist from Cleveland who took these incredible pictures, said: 'I'm Cleveland born and raised and I've always been into rock and roll. 'This theater has gone down in folklore in my hometown and it always had that air of mystery when we were kids growing up. Crumbling and rotting remains: The once-iconic Ohio venue was sealed off on the order of a judge in 1986, two years after Motorhead's gig . 'It was really inspiring to go in and photograph the theater, it's something I've always wanted to do and at times it actually felt like I was stepping back in time. 'I love rock and roll music so it was just incredible, it was like a time capsule to that era and that all the bands who performed there were captured in the fabric of the building.' Seph is a photojournalist specialising in nostalgic pictures. He recently completed a trip around the United States where he took photographs of abandoned or neglected buildings in every state. Due to the efforts of The Friends of the Historic Variety Theater, an organization that owns the huge building, a scheme to regenerate the venue have been given a new lease of life. The group is said to have plans to spruce up the theater section of the building, turning it into a music venue once more. Slow decay of time: Many of the theater's wooden seats have fallen into disrepair while the staircase shows the effects of years of decay . Renowned venue: Before its closure, the theater hosted concerts from bands including Metallica, the Dead Kennedy's and R.E.M. Hidden from view: The stunning

Summary: Cleveland's Variety Theater was a renowned rock venue that hosted the likes of Metallica, REM and Dead Kennedy's . But as metal band Motorhead performed in 1984, the ceiling cracked and plaster began to fall on to the audience . The gig was stopped and the theater was sealed off two years later - staying hidden from the public for 30 years . Now a photojournalist has ventured into the building, capturing eery photos that offer a glimpse into music history .


Too strong, too hungry and too powerful. All over the field Manchester United were superior. It has been a while since we have said that, in this fixture at least. A season that seemed to be heading nowhere when Arsenal defeated them in the FA Cup last month will perhaps now be remembered for a return to European football and also for this, a victory over their neighbours that was even more complete, more absolute, than the scoreline suggests. United used to do this to City all the time. They used to bully them, pass through them, demoralise them and embarrass them. But not since 2009-10 when United beat City twice in the Barclays Premier League and edged a League Cup semi-final have they brutalised them like this. Old Trafford roars with Marouane Fellaini after the influential Belgian gave the Red Devils an advantage they never looked like relinquishing . Fellaini leaps to meet man-of-the-match Ashley Young's superb cross with a thumping header to send Old Trafford into a state of euphoria . City's defence was caught flatfooted and Joe Hart could only watch as Fellaini's header flew into the net on a great day for the hosts . Juan Mata was released by Wayne Rooney and the Spaniard ran through to shoot between Hart's legs to extend the host's advantage . Mata once again showed his value to the side and pointed the way with a display full of energy, poise and intelligence . Chris Smalling showed his hunger to beat a lethargic City defence to Young's free-kick to add a fourth to give the score more gloss . All of United's outfield players congratulate Smalling after his close-range header ensured the red side of Manchester has bragging rights . Young latches on to a loose ball which bounced off Gael Clichy and fires past the despairing dive of Hart to level matters . Wayne Rooney cannons the ball into the net in celebration to release a shower of water as Juan Mata and Young charge to the sidelines . Sergio Aguero finishes off a surgical move for the opener, tapping David Silva's cross into the empty net to give the visitors hope . The United defence looked at sixes and sevens as David de Gea fumes after conceding an early goal to their City rivals . Aguero made it a double late of, latching on to Pablo Zabaleta's cross, but City leave Old Trafford with very little to cheer about . Time will tell what the ramifications will be. United will surely take third place in the league. That looks a certainty now. For City, everything suddenly seems unclear, including their manager’s position and their own place in the top four. Here at a rapturous Old Trafford, United played like a team that had been waiting for this day. City looked like a team waiting for the season to end. City actually bookended this game with two very good goals, Sergio Aguero scoring in the eighth and 88th minutes. What happened in between, however, served to confirm recent indications that

Summary: Aguero opened scoring in the 8th minute, tapping in Silva's pinpoint cross . Young levels minutes six minutes later, reacting to a loose ball in the box . Fellaini nods in Young's cross for his sixth of the season in the 28th minute . Mata punished weak City defending to add a breakaway third in the 66th . An unmarked Smalling nodded home Young's free-kick to make it four . Aguero finished Zabaleta's cross to add a his second late on . Vincent Kompany's challenge on Daley Blind attracted criticism - and a booking - and he was subbed after half-time . City had won the last four Manchester derbies but sank to their fourth defeat in six Premier League games . For United, this was a sixth successive win, and a hugely impressive one .

A Church of Scientology-backed organization is facing a bizarre land use battle over its plans to turn a patch of secluded in woods near the presidential retreat Camp David into a drug rehab center. Lawyers hired by drug rehab network Narcocon have argued that Trout Run, a property in Frederick County, Maryland, has historic significance because President Herbert Hoover once caught a fish at the site. Opponents view the proposed designation as a trick to circumvent current zoning laws for the 40-acre plot of land and create a drug rehabilitation program that some call dangerous. Narcocon, a Church of Scientology-affiliated drug rehab network, is trying to prove that a patch of land near Camp David is historic enough so that they can build a center for twelve patients . A Scientology-back real estate company bought Trout Run for $4.85million in 2013, and has been trying to change its land designation so that it can build a center that uses saunas and vitamin therapy for addicts . Narcocon, which uses sauna sessions and the teachings of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, has been sued in the past for wrongful deaths. It has denied wrongdoing. The group's treatment program claims that megadoses of the vitamin Niacin and spending five hours a day in a sauna for a month eliminates addiction cravings that are stored in the body's fat cells. Treatments at the center can cost more than $30,000 per month and typically last for as long as six months. Narcocon officials, who run more than 120 centers around the world, deny that the program tries to convert addicts to Scientology, though the group prominently features a quote from Hubbard on its website. The organization says that is focused on a secular approach to helping people overcome addiction. Its Maryland center would house 12 patients, with eight staff living there and eight living off-site. However, the current zoning laws for Trout Run, which includes a collection of stone cottages, classify it for resource conservation and do not permit any medical purpose for the site, according to the Washington Post. Though Narcocon says that it is non-religious and does not try to convert people to Scientology, its website features the religion's founder L Ron Hubbard (pictured) prominently . Placing the property on the county register of historic places would allow Narconon to conduct its program. The rehabilitation program was founded in 1966 and is based on the teachings of Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard. Narconon claims it is a non-religious, non-profit, non-medical . rehabilitation program with patients around the world. Its methods include . spending up to five hours a day in a sauna for 30 days straight and mega . doses of the vitamin Niacin. The hypothesis underlying the program is . that drugs and their metabolites are stored in the body's fatty tissues . for years, causing the addict's cravings when partially released later . on. But these can be flushed out through a regimen comprising elements such as . exercise, sauna and intake of high doses of vitamins, according to the facility's methods.

Summary: Scientology-connected Narconon wants to build center at Trout Run . Land use laws mean that it must prove site is historic in order to have a medical facility on the land in Frederick County . Scientology-affiliated real estate company bought land for $4.8million . Group contends land is significant because Herbert Hoover fished there . Organization has been criticized after string of mysterious deaths at centers that use saunas and megadoses of Niacin to treat drug addicts .


Hector Bellerin has enjoyed a superb breakthrough year at Arsenal this season, so much so that he is already being tipped for a move back to La Liga leaders Barcelona. The 20-year-old right back left the Catalan giants four years ago as he pursued a faster route to first-team football, eventually opting for Arsenal in the Premier League. But now, it seems Barca fans are keen for the Spaniard to return to the Nou Camp as they voted the youth international as their preferred choice to replace Dani Alves should the Brazilian leave the club. Arsenal right back Hector Bellerin has been linked with a return to former club Barcelona . PSG and Man United target Dani Alves could leave the Catalan giants as his contract expires this summer . In a poll carried out by Spanish publication 'Sport', Bellerin carries 12 per cent of the vote, with Glen Johnson also included with a mere two per cent. A move would see him follow the route of Cesc Fabregas, who also left Barca before ever playing a first-team game. However, it seems supporters would be happier if Alves stayed, with 62 per cent voting in favour of a contract renewal. The 31-year-old's current deal expires at the end of the season, with PSG and Manchester United potential suitors. Bellerin has been on a rapid road to success during the 2014/15 campaign for Arsenal, filling in for Mathieu Debuchy as the Frenchman struggled with injuries. He scored his second goal for the club against Liverpool on Saturday and is also improving defensively, with Arsene Wenger praising his contribution. Bellerin scored the opener for Arsenal in their impressive 4-1 victory against Liverpool on Saturday . The young Spaniard has impressed Arsene Wenger with his rapid rise this season, improving defensively . Speaking to @RoadToEuro2016 about his future, Bellerin was coy. 'I am good at Arsenal, but you do not know what the future may hold,' he said. 'The Arsenal is giving me everything I am with amazing players. I do not think about the future. I just started. 'I thank the people who speak well of me, but I'm only in the beginning. What has to arrive, will arrive.'

Summary: Hector Bellerin claims 12 per cent of the vote to replace Dani Alves . Barcelona fans would rather Brazilian right back extended his contract . Bellerin has impressed for Arsenal in his breakthrough season at the club . 20-year-old left Barcelona for north London in 2011 as a teenager .

The crew of a replica pirate schooner were forced to abandon ship after their vessel lost power in rough seas off the coast of Maine. Nine members of the Liana's Ransom were scooped up by Coast Guard life boats on Tuesday, leaving the Canadian charter ship adrift 30 miles east of Portland, Coast Guard officials said. The tall ship reported having issues with the engines around 12.35 a.m. on Monday, and said the sails had become wrapped around the mast. Scroll down for video . Mid-sea rescue: Coast Guard life boats facilitated a rescue of crew members from the Liana's Ransom, who had to leap from the replica schooner . Two lifeboat crews were dispatched from Gloucester, Massachusetts, to try and tow the vessel to shore, but 10-foot swells caused a tow line to break. The crew was ordered to put on immersion suits and abandon the schooner, according to a press release from the Coast Guard. In a video of the rescue, a man in a jacket successfully makes the jump from the Liana's Ransom to the lifeboat as the two ships pitch in the rough seas. CBS reports crew member Luke Arbuckle came up short while attempting to make the jump to the Coast Guard ship. 'Apparently the ship separated just as I jumped over, and I ended up in the water,' Arbuckle said. Arbuckle's forehead struck the side of the boat while jumping, and he was rescued and transported by a Coast Guard helicopter to the hospital, where he was treated and later released. Safe and sound: The crew was reportedly dehydrated and seasick after being caught in choppy weather early Monday morning . Pulled out: Crew member Luke Arbuckle shorted the jump as the two boats tilted away from each other and struck his head against the boat before being airlifted to the hospital . Ahoy: The 85-foot-long ship was on its way to St Maarten in the Caribbean with nine crew members on its first voyage of the season . The 24-year-old captain of the Liana's Ransom, Ryan Tilley, was the last crew member to depart the drifting ship, his father, Joseph Tilley, wrote on the ship's Facebook page. 'Seeing the ship crippled, damaged and left floating there as we motored away with the Coast Guard was probably one of the worst moments of my life, but you have to put lives first,' Ryan told WCVB. The boat was towed to Kittery Point Yacht Yard in Eliot, Massachusetts, on Tuesday evening where it will be repaired. The ship's website states the vessel was on its way to St Maarten, which was to be its new home port, when it lost engine power. The schooner, which has a 70-passenger capacity, was built to resemble ships used by privateers and pirates in the 1700s and is equipped with replica black powder cannons, according to the site.

Between the tears, eulogies and final farewells, funerals are typically a sombre affair. So mourners at a Taiwanese man's memorial were shocked after they were treated to a sexy performance by two scantily-clad strippers - hired by the deceased's own wife, The People's Daily Online reported. Dressed in little more than underwear and thigh-high boots, the exotic dancers showed off their moves in a scene more fitting to a strip club than a funeral home. Scroll down for video . Two hot dancers wearing just bras and miniskirts danced around the casket showing off their sexy moves to open mouthed mourners . Bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase Drop Dead Gorgeous the women gyrated around the coffin to Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger in front of the open-mouthed mourners. At one stage they even draped themselves over the casket as part of their routine. Incredibly it was the deceased's wife who booked the dancers as a final gift to her husband. Mrs Jian said she knew her spouse always had an eye for the ladies and wanted to ensure that his final journey was one that he would appreciate. The exotic dancers had been hired by Mrs Jian, from Taiwan, who said she booked them to perform at her husband’s funeral as her last gift to him . Taichung Funeral Home in Taipei, Taiwan was turned into a makeshift gentleman's club when the dance music began pumping and neon lights started flashing as the girls went through their moves on the morning of April 12. Some mourners appeared to be more interested in filming the sexy dancers rather than remembering their departed friend as they vied for the best position to take photos and videos on their smart phones. Family and friends of the deceased expressed their shock during the performance but it didn't stop the dancers who went through three different fast paced songs. They then disappeared before the drums played and the coffin was taken to the awaiting car and the start of the solemn funeral ceremony. Friends said the extremely understanding Mrs Jian was a devoted wife and after Mr Jian had suffered a stroke before his death, she would spend every minute at his bedside, attending to his every need. Draped across the coffin, the women are happy to pose for pictures in between dancing to Maroon 5's Moves Like Jagger . Mourners appeared to be more concerned about filming the sexy dancers rather than remembering their departed friend Mr Jian . The Taiwanese phenomenon of having exotic dancers or strippers perform at funerals began in the 1980s and is thought to be connected to the local mafia who were said to have seized control of the mortuary industry and offered strippers from their clubs at a cut price. For a modest fee the scantily-clad women arrive on the neon-lit back of a diesel truck, dubbed an Electric Flower Car, to gyrate erotically in front of the departed and his mourners. The cars also offer an easy getaway if police arrive to the scene. Some have

Sacked: But Jeremy Clarkson will not face prosecution over the incident which got him sacked from Top Gear . Jeremy Clarkson will not face prosecution over the attack on a Top Gear producer which led to him being sacked from the hit BBC show. Police had opened an investigation into the incident, which took place at a hotel in Hawes, North Yorkshire last month after Clarkson had been filming Top Gear in the area. However, after the victim Oisin Tymon said that he did not want to press charges, officers have now decided to drop the probe without taking action against Clarkson. A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said: ‘North Yorkshire Police has now completed its routine enquiries following the incident at Hawes involving Mr Jeremy Clarkson, and we will not be pursuing this matter any further. ‘North Yorkshire Police takes a thorough and victim-led approach to all investigations. ‘Last week, the person at the centre of the incident, Mr Tymon, said that he did not wish the police to take action on his behalf. ‘However, at that point we still needed to speak to some members of the public who were present at the time of the incident, who had been affected by the event, and whose views also needed to be considered. ‘Now that all the interviews are complete, we have properly established that there is no need for further police action.’ The incident, described as a 'fracas' by BBC officials, occurred when Clarkson discovered that the hotel where he was staying could not serve him a hot meal following a day's filming. An official report found that the 54-year-old presenter punched Mr Tymon in the mouth before being dragged away by a witness, causing the producer to go to A&E for emergency treatment. He also verbally abused him for 20 minutes, blaming Mr Tymon for failing to ensure that he could get a steak at the hotel. Victim: Oisin Tymon told police he did not wish to press charges against Mr Clarkson . Mr Clarkson was suspended as Top Gear presenter as soon as news of the fight came to light, and after the report was released the BBC announced that it would not renew his contract. He has repeatedly apologised to Mr Tymon both in public and privately, and the producer told North Yorkshire Police he did not want to see Mr Clarkson prosecuted. Despite his sacking, Mr Clarkson is set to take part in a series of Top Gear Live shows alongside co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May, although the performances will be rebranded. The BBC has said that Top Gear is likely to continue in some form, but Mr Hammond and Mr May are not expected to return. The star initially received widespread public support - including from his friend, Prime Minister David Cameron - in the aftermath of the incident, while one million people signed a petition calling for the BBC to reinstate him. Trio: Mr Clarkson is still set to appear in Top Gear live shows alongside Richard Hammond and James May . But director-general

Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood kept faith with Jack Grealish, the 19-year-old academy graduate, after handing him his first Premier League start against Queens Park Rangers a fortnight ago. The young midfielder did not disappoint, playing a part in Christian Benteke’s equaliser and then setting up Fabian Delph’s winner. ‘The bigger the stage the better he plays, the more he relishes it,’ said Sherwood who saw Grealish outshine Liverpool’s experienced internationals Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson in midfield. ‘That’s the sign of a good talent.’ Jack Grealish runs at Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel in a game where he adapted well to the big stage .

Sherwood added: ‘Jack’s someone I looked at before I was at the club and when I’ve seen him in training, if you give him an instruction he sticks to the plan. He’s got a big future at the club.’ Grealish, who wears children’s shinpads and socks rolled down, won two free-kicks for his team through dribbling with the ball. ‘He’s very durable,’ said Sherwood. ‘You should see the size of his legs, he’s still a kid. He takes more kicks in training than he does on the pitch so he’s getting a lot of practice fending off kicks — he probably needs bigger pads!’ Grealish (right) a posted to Twitter of him celebrating with Fabian Delph (left) and Gabriel Agbonlahor . Grealish was noticeable for having his socks rolled down, and wears children's shin-pads .
