Yaya Toure 'humiliated' over Manchester City Champions League snub, says agent


Yaya Toure’s agent has criticised Pep Guardiola for humiliating the midfielder by leaving him out of Manchester City’s squad for the Champions League group stages.
The 33-year-old Ivory Coast international has failed to make any of City's match-day squads for their first three Premier League games of the season with Guardiola saying Toure needs to improve his work rate without the ball.

Joe Hart's loan move to Torino meant City were unable to fill the eight home-grown spots required by UEFA as part of their 25-man squad, and as a result they have named only 21 players with Toure missing out.
Though critical of Guardiola's decision, Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk says his client remains determined to force his way into the Spaniard's plans.
"If he wins the Champions League for City this season then I will travel to England and I will say on television that Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world," Seluk told Sunday Mirror Sport.

"But if City don't win the Champions League then I hope that Pep has got the balls to say that he was wrong to humiliate a great player like Yaya.
"This is Pep's decision and we must respect it. Yaya is a professional and so he will do everything he is asked to do.

"Perhaps Pep will think he is good enough to play in the final 10 minutes of a League Cup game against a third division team - and, yes, I am joking.
"But what I can tell you is that Yaya will spend the season at City. He will not be leaving in January. He hopes that he will get the chance to prove himself."

Mediterranean diet may be more helpful than statins(Health Update)

Salmon is also a good source of lean protein. With this diet, doctors suggest eating fish at least two times a week. Salmon provides a high dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which studies show significantly lower the risk of heart disease. Omega-3 fatty acids fight back by reducing inflammation and slowing the rate of plaque buildup in blood vessels.

The Mediterranean diet has been credited with doing everything from helping you lose weight to living longer to improving the health of your brain. A new study, looking at its effect on people with poor heart health, shows that the diet may be a huge help for that, too.
More benefits to a high-fat Mediterranean diet, new study says
High-fat Mediterranean diet has more benefits, says study
The observational study was presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference this weekend. It showed that the people who have had a history of cardiovascular disease and stuck closest to the diet had a 37% lower risk of death compared with those who didn't stick with it.
    A Mediterranean diet is one that is heavy on vegetables and legumes, fish, fruit, nuts and whole grains.
    Food is cooked in olive oil rather than butter or some other kind of oil. Carnivores can keep poultry and lean cuts of meat on their Mediterranean menu. Red meat, processed food and sugar are off of it.
    The diet seems to do even better than one of the most prescribed options (PDF) for people with heart problems: cholesterol-lowering statins. On average, statins reduce risk of heart problems about 24%, according to earlier studies. That means the diet looks like a real winner to help with heart health.

    A lot of doctors like the diet because there are a lot of menu options with it. It even allows for a glass of wine or beer a day, allowing people to stick with it a lot easier than other diets. The new US Dietary Guidelinesincluded the Mediterranean diet as one option Americans could use to stay healthy.
    Earlier studies showed that people eating the Mediterranean diet have a lower risk of heart attack and stroke. It may lower your risk of cancer, improve your bone health and help you live longer generally.

    Because the new study is only observational, meaning the subjects acted independently, more research will be needed. But if you have a history of heart problems or your family has had heart issues, you may want to make a switch to this diet.

    Hiring slows: America gains 151,000 jobs in August

    American employers slowed down hiring in August.

    The U.S. economy added 151,000 jobs in August, a decent gain but a lot less than the 275,000 new jobs in July.
    The unemployment rate remained at 4.9%. It fell below 5% earlier this year for the first time since 2008.
    Powered by SmartAsset.com
    "Job growth in August was respectable though not spectacular," says Harry Holzer, a Georgetown University professor, and former chief economist at the U.S. Labor Department.
    With the economy at or near a level many consider full employment, experts predict that job growth will slow. Some Fed officials have even said the economy only needs to add roughly 100,000 jobs a month to keep the unemployment rate at its low point.
    The August jobs report is also historically volatile and weak. Since 2010, August has been the worst month for jobs gains, when the first reading is published. But the Labor Department revises each month twice. After revisions -- which will come in October and November -- August is actually in the middle of months for job gains. So Friday's figure could change.
    Wage growth slowed a bit in August, after showing signs of momentum in previous months. Paychecks grew 2.4% last month compared to a year ago. Wages have been one of the slowest to move in the right direction. Their slow pace is a key reason why the U.S. economic recovery has not been felt by vast pockets of the population.
    The dip in wages came with more bad news: Employment in construction, manufacturing and mining -- typically good-paying jobs -- declined in a bit in August. All together, those industries lost 24,000 jobs last month.
    Part of the slowdown in manufacturing is due to the slow global economy and the strong U.S. dollar. A strong currency makes American products more expensive -- and less attractive -- to foreign buyers.
    "The reality is that when you have a global economic slowdown and strong dollar...you're going to sell less things and it's reflected in the jobs numbers," U.S. Labor Secretary Tom Perez told CNNMoney.
    There were a lot of new jobs added in financial services, health care and food industries. Each had double-digit growth in jobs.
    America's economic growth has averaged about 1% in the first half of this year. However, experts are hoping that growth will pick up in the second half.
    The August jobs report is a critical one for the Federal Reserve, whose leaders hinted that they could use it as a guide to potentially raising the the key interest rate.
    A Fed rate hike was likely a given only if the report would have been very strong. However, August job gains fell below expectations.
    Still, America's job market is maintaining some momentum this year following two years of verystrong gains. The U.S. economy has added over a 1 million jobs so far this year. While September is an unlikely option for the Fed, a rate hike could still be on the horizon.
    "We continue to see a labor market approaching full employment," says Curt Long, chief economist at the National Association of Federal Credit Unions. "If the economy continues on the same trajectory that it's been on this summer, I anticipate the Fed will be in a position to raise rates in December."

    FDA bans some antibacterial chemicals in soaps

    The Food and Drug Administration has issued a final rule that throws water on claims that antibacterial soaps and washes are more effective than regular soap.
    The new rule bans antibacterial soaps and body washes containing certain ingredients from being marketed, because the ingredients were not proved to be safe and effective for long-term daily use, the FDA said Friday.

      The rule applies to antibacterial soaps and washes that contain one or more of 19 active ingredients, including the most commonly used chemicals triclosan andtriclocarban, but it does not affect consumer hand sanitizers or antibacterial wipes.
      "Consumers may think antibacterial washes are more effective at preventing the spread of germs, but we have no scientific evidence that they are any better than plain soap and water," said Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, in a written announcement.
      "In fact, some data suggests that antibacterial ingredients may do more harm than good over the long-term," she added.
      Companies will have one year to either remove the ingredients or no longer market their products before the final rule is effective (PDF).

      The American Cleaning Institute released a statementin response in which it indicated that the FDA had data showing the safety and effectiveness of antibacterial soaps. Manufacturers plan to provide additional science and research to fill any data gaps, according to the statement.
      "In the coming year, ACI and its member companies will submit additional safety and effectiveness data on the key ingredients in use in consumer antibacterial soaps today: benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride and chloroxylenol. ... Consumers can continue to use antibacterial soaps with confidence as they have for decades in millions of homes, offices, schools, daycare centers and other commercial settings," said the statement by the American Cleaning Institute, a trade organization thatrepresents the producers of cleaning products.

      The FDA issued a proposed rule in 2013 that required the manufacturers of antibacterial hand soaps and body washes to prove that their products were more effective than plain soap and were safe for long-term use.
      However, "antibacterial hand and body wash manufacturers did not provide the necessary data to establish safety and effectiveness," according to the FDA's new final rule. The FDA even noted that some manufacturers have started to remove certain active ingredients from their products.
      What does the science say about antibacterial soaps? A 2007 paper published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases found that using triclosan-containing consumer soaps seemed to not offer an additional health benefit over using regular soap and water.
      Rather, regularly using such antibacterial consumer soaps may be linked to the growth of dangerous drug-resistant bacteria, according to the paper.
      "Those who are out washing with it in the community think they're doing a good health measure when, in fact, they aren't," said Dr. Stuart Levy, professor of molecular biology and microbiology at Tufts University School of Medicine and a co-author of the paper.

      So, the new FDA rule "seems like a prudent step to prevent a possible, albeit theoretical, future adverse impact, and since the public still has the option of using hand sanitizers, which work faster and better than the current consumer 'antibacterial' soaps, I can be supportive of the ruling," said Elaine Larson, associate dean for research at Columbia University School of Nursing and a co-author of the paper.
      For the paper, researchers reviewed 27 studies on the potential hazards versus benefits of antibacterial soaps. The researchers concluded, "Further studies of this issue are encouraged."
      "This whole issue of antibiotics, where they do good and they don't do good, has not been explained well enough to the public, but I think it can be now," said Levy, who conducted some of the earliest studies on antibiotic resistance. "We sort of led the cause to eliminate the use of triclosan in washes, because quite honestly, it didn't show any improvement."

      Sow goodness and reap greatness(September 4)

      Sow goodness and reap greatness
      "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.  Philippians 2:3,4.

      Selfish ambition is a hard road that leads to only temporary success.  Success mixed with pride or gained at the expense of others, brings with it a cycle of sowing and reaping of pain.  More than what you achieve is how you achieved it.
       
      Jesus is our greatest example of giving and serving others.  He sowed His life and is reaping a great family of believers; He sowed His tears so we can reap His joy; He sowed His blood on the cross so we can reap His forgiveness; He sowed His truth and reaped a harvest of disciples; He sowed into death and gave us eternal life. Jesus did not just succeed in a great mission but His mission was about saving others.
       
      On the road to success don't lose the important issues in life such as integrity, a caring heart, good manners, respect, and love.  Good character is powerful and does not yield to selfish ambition but is strong enough to consider others and confident to know that true security is in God.    
       
      Sow goodness and reap a harvest of greatness; sow love and reap a harvest of loyalty; sow kindness and reap a harvest of enduring legacy.
       
      Kingdom Declaration:
      I will sow goodness to reap a harvest of greatness.
