That’s normal, the other fella next to him is a superstar.‘But I couldn’t believe he didn’t start the season. And his performances at the back end of last season were outstanding.

Stuff.co.nz 10 Aug 2012Canterbury bus driver has been stood down for lifting a disruptive 5-year-old schoolboy on to his seat. Methven bus driver Fred Rijbroek, 63, said the “wind was taken straight out of my sails” when he heard he had been stood down on full pay for a week for picking a child up and placing him on a bus seat. The incident happened two weeks ago when a primary school pupil with behavioural problems was being difficult on Rijbroek’s bus. “This little fella is very busy and always full of banter. I have to have him seated before I take off, and sometimes it is quite difficult,” Rijbroek said. While the Methven Travel driver was waiting for older pupils to board his bus on a Thursday afternoon, he said the 5-year-old was being “hyperactive and boisterous”. When he told the boy to sit in his allocated window seat, he replied, “No; I want to play”. Rijbroek told the boy he would have to sit where he was told when the bus doors were shut. The boy then started kicking his school friends and upset a girl by taking her book. Once all the pupils had boarded, Rijbroek took the book off the boy, picked him up by the middle and “firmly placed” him on the seat. He said the boy was “a little taken aback” by his actions and was “well behaved” for the rest of the journey.The schoolboy’s mother told The Press she held “no grudges” against Rijbroek for picking up her son. The owner of Methven Travel said the incident had been “blown out of proportion” and that he felt for Rijbroek. His employer, who did not want to be named, said he “definitely would not” have stood Rijbroek down if it had been his decision. He described Rijbroek as a “good worker who was 100 per cent reliable”.http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7450565/Driver-who-lifted-boy-suspended#Scene_1

Share Tweet By James GallagherHealth reporter, BBC NewsE. coli outbreaks in Germany and France could have come from seeds sourced in Egypt, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has said.A report said there was still “much uncertainty”, but fenugreek seeds imported in 2009 and 2010 “had been implicated in both outbreaks”.More than 4,000 people were infected during the German outbreak, 48 died.Investigators traced the source back to a bean sprout farm in Bienenbuettel, Lower Saxony.The outbreak in Bordeaux affected 15 people and was linked to seeds sold by a company in the UK – Thompson and Morgan, although the firm said it had no evidence of a link.Linked Both outbreaks involved the rare strain of E. coli known as O104:H4.The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) said the strain was so rare in humans the outbreaks were unlikely to have been isolated incidents and both were linked to eating sprouting seeds.Further investigations have been trying to determine if the source of the infection was contamination at the sites, or if they had been supplied with contaminated seeds.The report said the outbreak in Bordeaux had been linked to seeds exported in 2009 from Egypt to a company in the UK and then sold to France. The German outbreak had come from seeds imported in 2010, it said.The report added there could be more outbreaks of the deadly E. coli as “other batches of potentially contaminated seeds are still available within the European Union and perhaps outside”.The ECDC and the European Food Safety Authority “strongly recommend advising consumers not to grow sprouts for their own consumption and not to eat sprouts or sprouted seeds unless they have been cooked thoroughly” until their investigations are complete.

On the right track: Harry Maguire believes Manchester United will soon be competing again for the Premier League title United have not won the league since Alex Ferguson retired as manager in 2013 and were a mammoth 37 points behind leaders Liverpool when the Premier League season was put on hold due to coronavirus last month. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men were on an 11-match unbeaten run before the shutdown with Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka beginning to repay the lavish sums spent on them last summer and January signing Bruno Fernandes making an immediate impact. “I knew when I first came to Manchester United that Ole said to me loads and loads it’s a building process but we’ll be where we want to be.” Maguire told Sky Sports. “There are plenty of aspects we need to improve to get to the top of where we want to be. We don’t want to be challenging for this Champions League spot, we want to be challenging for titles. “We know there’s still a lot of improvement to get there, but we’re on the right track and I’m sure eventually we will get there.” United sat fifth in the table when matches were suspended and still in the running for silverware in the FA Cup and Europa League. Should the season be able to be completed in the coming months, Solskjaer’s options could be strengthened by the return from injury of Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba. Loading… 
Over the last several years, the attendance at college football games keeps going up. However, student attendance keeps going down. In fact, I think it is down as much as 7% in the major 5 conferences. What are the reasons for this? First of all, most colleges do not include sports attendance vouchers in their normal tuitions. Students must buy their tickets which was not the case when I went to college.Another reason is that most college kids today leave campus early for weekends and few of them stay around for any Saturday football games. In some instances, kids only go to school 3-4 days a week any more. A third reason is just plain apathy on the part of the students. To many of them today, college is not Rah-Rah for the sports team, but “let’s party”. The final reason is that few stadiums sell liquor during the game, so they go elsewhere. It is a sad, but true, fact.

We are together in this no matter the color.” FacebookTwitterWhatsAppEmail分享 Five Major League Soccer (MLS) matches were postponed Wednesday night as players made a collective statement against racial injustice. The action came after all three NBA playoff games were called off in a protest over the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin on Sunday night. Players from games between Atlanta United and Inter Miami, FC Dallas and Colorado, Portland and San Jose, Real Salt Lake and LAFC, and the LA Galaxy and Seattle all decided not to play in solidarity. The lone match played was between Orlando City and Nashville SC. Colorado forward Kei Kamara posted on social media: ”We made a decision together as players and staffs to not play our game tonight because there’s more happening in our country to distract our minds to soccer. This is the first time I can agree to the saying ‘It’s just a game.”’ ”We didn’t know. We understand and we respect what’s going on and what the other teams did,” Nani said. ”This is a situation we must stick together from today to try to do our best to see what we can help and what we can support.” Sounders defender Kelvin Leerdam said that the players wanted to use their platform. ”As a group, we decided that we’re part of the world and we’ll let everybody see that the things that happen around us, we aren’t blind to it,” Leerdam said. ”That’s why we took a stand to not play today.” Three Major League Baseball games and all three WNBA games also were called off.

The Blake family’s attorney said he as paralyzed and that it would ”take a miracle” for him to walk again. The shooting of the 29-year-old was captured on cellphone video. ”And yes, people will miss out on the entertainment, but at the end of the day it’s entertainment. There are other things going on which are essentially life and death, which should be a bigger part of any conversation that exists today, as opposed to maybe just missing out on an MLS game or an NBA game,” said Real Salt Lake defender Nedum Onuoha,

Press Association The Black Cats head for Tottenham on Monday night lying seven points adrift of safety and knowing they will need to win at least three of their remaining eight games if they are to stand any chance of remaining a Barclays Premier League club. Given the fact that they have only six league wins to their name to date this season, and that their four away fixtures take them to Spurs, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United, that may be a tall order. Guy Poyet admits Sunderland are going to have to do something unexpected to get themselves out of relegation trouble. However, Poyet knows from experience that strange things happen as seasons draw to a close, and he is hoping that will be the case for his struggling team. Asked if they may have to do something unexpected to survive, Poyet said: “Yes, yes – but I think it is possible. “I remember clubs in the past – I am not going to talk about names – they have played five or six games at the end of the season against teams who were playing for nothing and they won four or five. “People say it’s incredible, a miracle, but it depends what the teams put on the pitch and what you do. But it can happen. “I suppose I would try as a professional not to alter the end of the season, but if a team goes down early and they make seven changes to try things for the following year, I wouldn’t blame them because they are trying for themselves. “Now that can affect the result of that game and then everybody is blaming somebody else. But at the end of the day, you have got 38 games, it’s you. “You cannot blame the rest for what they do because it happens during the season when someone is playing in the Champions League and chooses to make five changes in midweek. “Nobody remembers those, they only remember the last three or four when people are already out of any possibility.” Possibilities and time, however, are running out fast for Sunderland, who have won none of their last six league games, a run which culminated in a damaging 2-1 home defeat by West Ham on Monday evening. Winger Adam Johnson, whose appearance as a second-half substitute in that game inspired a fightback which came up only just short, admitted afterwards that the point of no return had been reached, and Poyet agrees. He said: “No time ago, we had 12 games to go, and then it was 10 and now it’s eight and we haven’t won… “Yes, I agree with him. Now if you say it clear and loud, it’s pressure for the players – but if we are not under pressure by now in terms of winning the next game, I don’t know when we are going to be. “Of course yes, I totally agree. It’s good that the players say it as well because they are inside here every day and they know what can happen.” Poyet, of course, inherited a difficult situation from predecessor Paolo Di Canio with the Black Cats having taken just a single point from their opening seven league fixtures. As a result, he has had to cope with intense pressure throughout his reign to date. He said: “Me, I am realistic, more realistic than anyone. I don’t forget when I got here. I didn’t write it anywhere. “I made a mistake not putting it on my fridge so every morning when I open the fridge, it reminds me that we had one point from seven games and we were there. “I didn’t, but I made a mistake there. But I remember, don’t worry.” 
A Wisconsin teenager has an urgent message for his peers about the dangers of vaping.Logan Krahn, 16, has been through a “frightening medical ordeal.”The American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin, says he is the first patient to be treated in the pediatric intensive care unit because of vaping.Logan was admitted to his local hospital two weeks ago and later diagnosed with Chemical Pneumonitis.The condition could have been fatal for the teen after doctors said his lungs kept filling with fluid, making it impossible for him to breathe on his own.Logan now has permanent lung damage.“If you do not smoke or vape now, please do not start,” Logan warned during a news conference with medical staff. “But if you do, I urge you to stop and get some help.”Related content:DOH: First Vaping Death Confirmed in Florida
