Jurors on Thursday were shown a to-do list written by former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez shortly before murder victim Odin Lloyd was shot dead. The list, which was on Hernandez's Blackberry, contains mostly football related tasks, like purchasing fish oil, watching game film and memorizing the playbook, but also says 'send rounds.' And according to Kyle Aspinwall, who works for Glock and is testifying for the prosecution, this is another way of saying purchase ammunition. Scroll down for video . Former New England Patriots football player Aaron Hernandez, left, speaks with his defense attorney Charles Rankin, right, during his murder trial Thursda . Kyle Aspinwall, an employee of Glock firearms manufacturer, examines a pistol while testifying during the murder trial . The list also included 'troll,' a form of online harassment generally popular among teenagers. This as the jury was asked to disregard some of the expert testimony delivered by Aspinwall on Wednesday when he claimed that Hernandez could be seen holding a gun on security footage from inside his home both before and after the time Lloyd is believed to have been killed. Superior Court Judge Susan Garsh said that jurors were to disregard some of the identifying characteristics of the gun Aspinwall testified to, and also reminded them that he was speaking to his opinion, which they could accept or disregard. Aspinwall said Hernandez appeared to be carrying a Glock in his residence around 3:30am on June 17, just minutes after Lloyd was killed in a nearby industrial park with what the prosecution claims was a .45-caliber Glock handgun. When questioned by the defense however, Aspinwall said he could not say if the gun was a functioning gun or even a pellet gun. Hernandez looks on as a still frame from surveillance video is displayed on a monitor during his murder trial in . The defense also went after him by pointing out that if it was indeed a gun, Hernandez would have to be holding it by the muzzle, something that would be incredibly unsafe should the weapon accidentally fire. Hernandez, 25, has pleaded not guilty the to murder of Lloyd. He is also charged in another case with the murder of two Boston men in 2012 after a brief encounter at a nightclub. He has pleaded not guilty in that case too.

Ryanair has backtracked on plans to develop a cheap flights to America- just days after it said it had received approval from the board. On Monday, the budget airline had announced plans to run transatlantic services between key European cities and the US with one-way tickets costing from as little as £10. But today, bosses have been forced to admit the carrier is not about to move into long-haul flights. Scroll down for video . Ryanair, Europe's largest budget airline, had announced just days ago that is was planning to develop a transatlantic service for budget passengers, with one-way tickets between the US and key European cities costing as little as $15 . In a brief statement, the Irish airline's board said it had not approved any such plans, nor would it. 'In the light of recent press coverage, the Board of Ryanair Holdings plc wishes to clarify that it has not considered or approved any transatlantic project and does not intend to do so.' The sudden U-turn came after Ryanair unveiled its plan to operate budget flights to the US within five years. The idea was part of an aggressive growth strategy, connecting airports such as London Stansted and Berlin with New York, Boston and Miami. In a statement carrier had said it was talking to manufacturers about buying planes to serve new routes between various European airports and 12 to 14 American cities. Michael O'Leary previously said the airline has long been looking at long-haul flight plans, but is held back by a lack of aircraft availability . 'European consumers want lower cost travel to the USA and the same for Americans coming to Europe. We see it as a logical development in the European market,' a spokesman said on Monday. 'The business plan is there but it's dependent on attaining viable long haul aircraft and we estimate that's 4 to 5 years away.' Ryanair pilots had to wear oxygen masks as they made an emergency landing in Barcelona on Thursday after a fire extinguisher went off in the cockpit. Passengers said the pilot and first officer were unable to breathe without the masks as halon - a liquefied, compressed gas - filled the confined space as the plane flew from London Stansted Airport to Valencia. TV presenter and professional sailor Hannah White said that passengers suspected there was a serious problem, but they did not know the reason for the emergency landing until they arrived at Barcelona-El Prat Airport. Fire trucks greeted the Boeing 737 when it touched down shortly after 10:15am local time as passengers began to grasp the nature of the emergency. Ryanair described it as a 'minor fault'. The airline first mooted the idea of offering transatlantic flights back in 2008 and board approval comes after the airline has invested 18 months in cleaning up its image and improving customer service. Last year, Michael O'Leary, the airline's chief executive, told the Irish Hotels Federation conference in Meath that Ryanair would offer the $15 flights to Boston and New York. However, he admitted that passengers would pay

Summary: Ryanair had announced plans for a service between Europe and America . The budget airline claimed it would run transatlantic flights from just £10 . Carrier said it was talking to manufacturers about planes for new routes . But it's been forced to admit it's not considering flying across the Atlantic .

The International Cricket Council has described the remarks of its own president Mustafa Kamal as 'very unfortunate', and insists its umpires' 'integrity cannot be questioned'. Kamal put himself at the centre of a row over umpiring decisions which went the way of India in their World Cup quarter-final victory over Bangladesh in Melbourne on Thursday. India opener Rohit Sharma was reprieved as he neared his century when a no-ball was called because of the height of the delivery; then Bangladesh batsman Mahmudullah had to go when a marginal call came down in favour of boundary fielder Shikhar Dhawan, whose foot was ruled to be just clear of the rope when he took a catch at fine-leg. Shikhar Dhawan's catch of Bangladesh's batsman Mahmudullah during their quarter final proved controversial . Bangladeshi politician Kamal's ICC role is largely ceremonial since cricket's world governing body updated its constitution a year ago. He has nonetheless threatened to resign over the decisions taken by umpires Aleem Dar and Ian Gould in the match which finished in a 109-run win for India. Kamal implied the result was a foregone conclusion, and that world cricket is being run for the benefit of its superpower India. 'There was no quality in the umpiring. It looked like they took the field after it [the outcome] was pre-arranged,' he said. 'As the ICC president, whatever I have to say I will say it in next meeting. It could happen that maybe I will resign. There was doubt about whether the fielder had made contact with the boundary rope, but the decision stood . 'I cannot represent the "Indian Cricket Council". If someone has imposed a result on us, in that case no one can accept it.' ICC chief executive David Richardson has responded with an emphatic dismissal of Kamal's insinuations. He said: 'The ICC has noted Mr Mustafa Kamal's comments, which are very unfortunate but made in his personal capacity. Rohit Sharma was given a reprieve after being caught out off a no ball, and went on to make three figures . 'As an ICC president, he should have been more considerate in his criticism of ICC match officials, whose integrity cannot be questioned. 'The no-ball decision was a 50-50 call. The spirit of the game dictates that the umpire's decision is final and must be respected. 'Any suggestion that the match officials had 'an agenda' or did anything other than perform to the best of their ability are baseless and are refuted in the strongest possible terms.' Mustafa Kamal (right) threatened to resign from the ICC over what he saw as unfair umpiring .

Summary: Mustafa Kamal has threatened to resign after Bangladesh lost to India . Bangladesh were on the wrong end of some controversial decisions . But ICC insists umpires' 'integrity cannot be questioned' in World Cup . India will play Australia in World Cup semi final on Thursday .


An 18-year-old girl, whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase in a Colorado park, died from a drug overdose. The Mesa County Coroner's Office reported that Kelly Mae Myers died of a 'mixed drug intoxication'. They said they have not yet determined the circumstances surrounding her death. Myers' body was found in Cactus Park, Mesa County on February 28. The teenager had been missing since December 18. Kelly Mae Myers, 18, died of a 'mixed drug intoxication', according to the Mesa County Coroner's office. Her body was found stuffed in a suitcase at a Colorado park on February 28 . Police say Eduardo De La Cruz, 30 (left) was staying at the same hotel where Myers died. Raymond Cordova, 47 (right), an associate of De La Cruz, picked Myers up from her father's house and allegedly dumped her body . Colorado police ruled her death as 'suspicious' but have not yet officially declared it a homicide. Officials said they would not release any more information regarding Myters' cause of death at this time because of the ongoing investigation, according to Fox 13 Now. Myers' body was put inside a suitcase and kept in a West Valley City hotel before it was transported to the Cactus Park area, a search warrant obtained by The Deseret News revealed. Police are currently investigating two persons of interest, Eduardo De La Cruz and Raymond Cordova, in connection with Myers' disappearance. De La Cruz, 30, is being held on suspicion of trafficking heroin but is not an official suspect in the Myers case, police said. Myers' body was found stuffed in a suitcase at Cactus Park in Mesa County, Colorado, on February 28, two months after police believe the teen died at a West Valley City hotel . He was the alleged ringleader in a drug trafficking organization that supplied 'large quantities of heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and prescription narcotics'. De La Cruz was named as a person of interest in the Myers case following a wiretap investigation. Myers was last seen in Grand Junction with friends and was believed to be heading to Salt Lake City for a party. Relatives who reported her missing in Colorado said the teenager's disappearance was 'out of character'. Myers' mother Kim Lee told Fox 13 Now she had never heard of De La Cruz or Cordova before they were arrested. 'This wasn't just a piece of trash that you stuffed, and I hate saying that word, but you put in a suitcase,' she said. 'This was a human being, this was my daughter.' Cordova, 47, an associate of De La Cruz, picked Myers up from her father's house, a police affidavit stated. Myers was an avid Facebook user and last logged onto the site on December 19. Investigators believe she died sometime that day. Her IP address was traced to the Country Inn and Suites Hotel in West Valley City. De La Cruz had checked into the hotel the day Myers is believed to have died, police say. Myers was an avid Facebook user and last logged onto the site

Family doctors across the country will be offered up to £650 to work for three hours on Easter Saturday in a bid to reduce strain on hospitals over the bank holiday weekend. Surgeries in Essex, the West Midlands and London are being offered cash incentives to open during the four-day break. Doctors could be paid up to £650 for just three hours work on Easter Saturday - which includes £150 an hour plus £200 for administrative costs. The incentive is being offered to ensure there is enough cover over the four day Easter holiday - in a similar way to when doctors were persuaded to work on New Year's Day by being offered £80 an hour on top of their normal salary. Doctors are being offered up to £650 to work for three hours on Easter Saturday to ensure there is cover . GPs in Essex, the West Midlands and some London boroughs will be offered the incentive payments. The offer is only being made to those practices that are not already part of the directed enhanced service scheme - an agreement which sees GPs offered an annual payment for increasing cover at weekends. The bonus payments are being offered to cover patients with urgent care needs and will also be paid for doctors to carry out home visits, the Daily Express reported. Earlier this month GPs in the West Midlands criticised the £350 figure and said it needed to be quadrupled for them to consider working over the Easter break. However the offer has now been extended to include London and Essex, as well as in some parts of the north. A spokeswoman from NHS England, for London, confirmed GPs had been offered £650 for the extra hours work. She said the deal, along with the practices that had already signed up to directed enhanced services, meant that around 84 per cent of people would be able to access their GP over the weekend. She said: 'Across London, most boroughs are able to offer access to primary care services on Easter Saturday. GP practices that do not normally offer weekend cover under the directed enhanced services scheme will be offered the payments . 'For the small number not achieving this level of coverage, we are working with local Clinical Commissioning Groups and will be offering an additional payment called a Local Enhanced Service to cover the costs. 'While the price has yet to be finalised it is likely to be around £650 for a three hour session in line with other areas in England. 'Our estimates show that 84 percent of people in London will be able to access GP services on Easter Saturday. We are determining additional requirements in a small number of boroughs.' The payment being offered is similar to that over New Year, when doctors were offered £80 an hour on top of their normal salary to work on New Year's Day. In the North and East some incentives will be offered, but these areas are understood to have greater cover over weekends. A memo from Barbara Hawkin,

If Eoin Morgan wanted to demonstrate that he is taking little notice of the outpouring of criticism that has greeted perhaps the worst of all England’s many under-achieving World Cups then he made a good job of it. The unthinkable possibility of a first-round elimination will become reality if England lose to Bangladesh here on Monday, yet the England captain talked as if nothing has been learnt from three abysmal defeats. The subject of England’s over-reliance on statistics has become the hot topic of a long week of introspection in Adelaide but Morgan does not seem to have noticed, judging by his first answer in Saturday's pre-match interrogation. Ian Bell of England takes a catch during an England nets session at the Adelaide Oval . England's Alex Hales takes a catch during an England nets session on Saturday . England know they can not afford a slip-up or even a rainy day as they prepare to face Bangladesh . ‘Having a break has given us time to reflect and the analysis has come through which backs up our feel of what happened during the Sri Lanka game,’ said Morgan. ‘It makes things a lot clearer moving forward. It keeps it simple.’ Well, to put it simply, England were thrashed by Sri Lanka in Wellington by nine wickets with 16 balls remaining, when 309 became not nearly enough. Does it need analysis to tell Morgan that England under-estimated what a winning score would be and then bowled like drains? Also, the key statistics in Gary Ballance’s World Cup are 10, 10, 10 and 6, his scores since being parachuted in to the side at the expense of Ravi Bopara on the eve of England’s first World Cup game against Australia. England warm up during a nets session at the Adelaide Oval where they will meet Bangladesh . Chris Jordan (left) is held back at the Adelaide Oval as he and his team-mates get prepared . Yet unless Morgan was being disingenuous to protect his man yesterday England, who tinkered with their team the day before the tournament, are now perversely going to be stubborn and again ignore the claims of Alex Hales. ‘The decision we made to put Gary at three was a huge one,’ said Morgan. ‘There wasn’t much between him and Alex at the time and it was just a feel we had. It is a big decision to change anyone in the side and it won’t be taken lightly nor quickly.’ No one is doubting that Ballance has a bright future but right now, when England’s need is most acute, he looks rusty and short of the dynamism needed at this tournament. If England really are determined not to pick Hales — and every indication here is that deep down they do not think he is the answer — then perhaps Bopara comes back into the frame with James Taylor returning to three. That would give England an all-important extra bowling option if their preferred tactic of bombarding the opposition with short deliveries from Stuart Broad, Jimmy Anderson, Steven Finn

Summary: England face Bangladesh at World Cup on Monday at 3.30am GMT . Peter Moores knows his team can not afford a slip-up or rainy day . England must beat Bangladesh then Afghanistan to have a chance .


Environmentalists involved in Prince William's China tour warned British diplomats not to let him visit a park where elephants perform circus tricks two months ago, The Mail on Sunday has learnt. But the advice – given to officials at Britain's Chongqing consulate as the Prince's itinerary was drafted in January – was brushed aside, one of the ecologists said yesterday. The Prince's tour – on which he was accompanied by four press officers – ended in a PR disaster when he visited a rescue centre at Wild Elephant Valley, only a few yards from an arena where elephants play football, dance and do tricks for tourists. In the spotlight: Prince William surrounded by his support team in China during his royal tour . The degrading performances at Wild Elephant Valley that happen just yards from the rescue centre visited by Prince William . Last month The Mail on Sunday revealed the Prince would be visiting the park and informed the Palace of the cruel conditions, but Royal sources claimed Prince William wanted to visit regardless so he could 'shine a spotlight' on the issue. However when the Prince was at the park, and was asked by Sky TV if he knew elephants were performing nearby, he seemed wrong-footed, hurrying away in silence as journalist Mark Stone called after him: 'The Chinese are using elephants to play football, your Royal Highness.' Ecologist Alice Hughes, an associate professor based at Xishuangbanna Botanical Gardens, said: 'When the British consulate told us 'We might take Prince William to Wild Elephant Valley', we all said unanimously, 'Don't take him there. It's basically a circus.' We warned the British consulate off but I think some of them are very, very naïve.' She added: 'I don't believe our concerns were filtered through to any higher levels. If Prince William had known what was going on there, I don't think there is any possibility he would have gone. I think he must have been assured they really were doing conservation work.' Both Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office declined to say if the concerns had been passed on to the Prince. But yesterday one of his aides insisted: 'Prince William absolutely knew what was happening.' Another aide said: 'Our view is, this wasn't embarrassing. It was an essential thing for the Duke to do and one of the key reasons he went is to encourage conservation efforts and that comes in complex packaging.' Both Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office declined to say if the concerns had been passed on to the Prince, pictured during his visit . A Kensington Palace spokesman added: 'It goes without saying the Duke does not condone the performances, but he recognises the incredible work Wild Elephant Valley has done to protect the elephant population.' But Louise Rogerson, from the Elephant Asia Rescue and Survival Foundation, said: 'Tourists will flock to Wild Elephant Valley now. Prince William is indirectly supporting cruelty to elephants forced to take part in these circus performances.'

Summary: Ecologists warned British diplomats not to let Duke visit park months ago . Warned it was only yards from arena where elephants do tricks for tourists . MoS last month also warned palace of cruel conditions near rescue centre . Four press officers accompanied the Duke of Cambridge on China tour .


Nicola Sturgeon (pictured) said SNP is open to an arrangement with Labour and suggested Labour's backbenchers would support some SNP policies . Ed Miliband will be 'held hostage' in Downing Street by the SNP, it was claimed today as Nicola Sturgeon said there was no way Labour could win without her. A dramatic collapse in support for Labour in Scotland is expected to rob Mr Miliband of an overall majority, forcing him to rely on the SNP to form a government. Ms Sturgeon teased the Labour leader today, claiming he is still 'clinging to the pretence' that he has a chance of winning a majority on May 7, insisting she will wield 'clout' in Westminster. Ms Sturgeon said her party was open to an arrangement with Labour after the election. The Scottish First Minister hinted that many of Labour's MPs would support certain SNP policies such as bringing an end to austerity and scrapping Trident. After weeks of pressure, Mr Miliband has ruled out a formal coalition with the SNP but he could be forced to do a deal to stop them voting down his government. Ms Sturgeon told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: 'He is still clinging to the pretence he has got some chance of winning an overall majority. 'We have got vast experience as a minority Government ... the principles are the same. You have to build alliances, you have to win votes on a case-by-case basis. 'It would be far better than what usually happens to Scotland at Westminster, which is we are ignored or sidelined. 'The bottom line here is, if Scotland wants to have that influence, that power, that clout in Westminster, the only way get it is to vote SNP. 'If there is real SNP strength in the House of Commons we can force progressive change.' She also repeated the threat from former First Minister Alex Salmond to lock the Tories out of government, even if David Cameron wins the most seats. Brushing aside claims it was arrogant, Ms Sturgeon replied: 'If the Tories can't command a majority, then they don't deserve to be in government.' Labour leader Ed Miliband used the launch of his election campaign at the Olympic Park in east London today to claim: 'There is one way to get the Tories out and that's to elect a Labour government' Senior Conservative William Hague condemned the remarks as proof that Mr Miliband would be propeped up by a party which wanted to break up the Union. He said: 'Now you have it straight from Nicola Sturgeon – it is the SNP's sworn intention to hold Ed Miliband hostage in Downing Street and dictate terms on how Britain is governed. 'And we know too what's in the ransom note: £148 billion more wasteful borrowing, higher taxes on ordinary families, weaker defences and more debt than our children could ever hope to repay.

Napoli manager Rafa Benitez says England will be serious contenders to win the European Championships in France next summer. Roy Hodgson's side beat Lithuania with ease on Friday night to keep up their 100 per cent record at the top of Group E and are six points clear of nearest rivals Slovenia at the halfway point in qualification. England have been beaten by Italy at the last two major tournaments but Benitez, who has worked in Serie A for the past two seasons, insists English players are not inferior. Wayne Rooney celebrates after scoring against Lithuania in the Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley on Friday . Roy Hodgson watches on as his side made it five wins from five in Group E . 'I can see from outside that you have enough quality and enough potential to do well,' the former Liverpool and Chelsea boss was quoted as saying in the Mirror. 'I am convinced you can do well. England will be contenders at Euro 2016 because of the level of the players. 'England have very good players – a lot of them could play in Serie A. It is just about finding a way that they can stick together. Napoli manager Rafa Benitez (right) thinks England will be contenders to win Euro 2016 in France . Benitez spent six years managing Liverpool (above) and had a short spell in charge of Chelsea . 'The understanding between them can be much better. But if you talk about potential, if you talk about quality, you have enough quality in England.' Meanwhile, Benitez, who won the Champions League with Liverpool and Europa League with Chelsea, has backed Premier League clubs to bounce back from their disappointing campaigns in Europe this season, but claims Italian sides are tactically better. For me it is cyclical - they will be there next year,' he said. 'Some European clubs are getting stronger, like PSG and Atletico Madrid, but the Premier League will be also stronger in the years to come. England were beaten by Italy at the World Cup last summer thanks to a Mario Balotelli header . England were also knocked out of Euro 2012 by the Italians on penalties . 'The Italian clubs know how to compete, that is the reason why they progress in Europe this year. They are quite aware of the tactics. They work together with different tactics and different systems so they know what to do. 'But I don't see England or the English players worse than them technically. 'Physically and technically they are at the same level. Tactically, obviously, the advantage of Italy is that they have been for years doing a tactical game.'

Rafa Benitez thinks England will be contenders at the championships . Former Liverpool boss says English clubs will bounce back in Europe .

An amazing image revealing some mysterious phenomena in a gigantic galaxy-cluster collision has been revealed. In the region, where clusters of hundreds of galaxies are colliding, a rich variety of objects are visible only to radio telescopes. Scientists created a ‘true colour’ image of the region to reveal what it would look like if humans could see radio waves, rather than just visible light. Researchers have released an amazing image of Abell 2566. In the annotated image (move the slider to see the markings), the point sources (examples in red) are galaxies like ours. Blue objects are radio galaxies with streams of plasma, and in green is the 'Large Relic', which could be a shockwave as the clusters collide. Researchers at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) made the image using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico. In the image, red colouration shows longer radio waves, moving down to blue, which is composed of shorter radio waves. The region is known as Abell 2256, and is about 800 million light-years from Earth and about four million light-years across. The image covers an area in the sky almost as large as the full moon. In the image, the multiple ‘dots’ that can be seen are ‘normal, everyday galaxies’ as big as the Milky Way, Dr Jean Eilek of the NRAO told MailOnline. A radio galaxy is an active galaxy that is very luminous at radio wavelengths. It is usually composed of two jets being expelled from a large elliptical galaxy. Radio galaxies can be detected at large distances, which makes then useful tools in studying the structure of the universe. ‘Star formation in such galaxies is a strong source of radio waves, which come from supernova remnants and cosmic rays that are energised in the star formation regions.’ There is also a handful of objects known as radio galaxies, which each have a massive central black hole that emits jets of plasma. ‘In clusters like this the unusual shapes of the radio galaxies are due to the interaction of those jets with the cluster atmosphere,’ Dr Eilek continued. ‘We don't yet understand just why each of those sources have the shapes they have - we’re still working on that. ‘But these are definitely radio galaxies in the cluster; we think the merger happening in the cluster has something to do with the large number and unusual shapes of these radio galaxies.’ Resarchers at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) made the image using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) in New Mexico, shown here. The VLA is at an altitude of 6970ft (2125 metres) and consists of 27 independent antennae . Two of these, towards the right-hand side of the image, have long trails with them. This may be due to them speeding very fast through the cluster, with their plasma left behind in a tail. Perhaps the most notable part of the image is, as Dr Eilek calls it, the ‘big fuzzy thing’ to the upper right. This is known as the Large Relic, and

Summary: Researchers in New Mexico have released an amazing galactic image . It shows a region of space where galaxy clusters are colliding . The 'true colour' image shows how radio waves would look to humans . The image includes galaxies like ours, radio galaxies and the 'Large Relic' Some of the objects in the image remain a mystery, however .

Australia's property market is continuously booming, with house prices soaring through the roof - but unfortunately for prospective property buyers, it's showing no sign of slowing down. An auction of a quaint, unrenovated Surry Hills home on Saturday reaped surprising bids, with the owner of the property managing to bag a whooping $1.5 million for the home, which didn't even have a bathroom and had holes in the ceiling. On the same day, a stunning beachfront home, owned by former TV comedian John 'Strop' Cornell, in the stylish area of Belongil in Byron Bay was picked up by Harvey Norman heir Glen Norman for $10 million. Scroll down for video . 22 Ridge St, Surry Hills )pictured) sold for over $1.5 million on Saturday . So why are Australia's house prices so extortionate and can we expect more of this in the future? According to Director at LJ Hooker, Brigitte Blackman, low interest prices are pushing up real estate prices and mixed with a lack of stock on the market, things are only set to get worse. 'While we have cheap money, people will just extend themselves,' Ms Blackman told Daily Mail Australia. 'Also there’s very low stock on the market, which I haven’t seen in a long time at this time of year. 'With low stock levels and lowest interest rates ever - which are projected to go down further - moneys cheap and real estates such a solid investment that people are spending big and wanting to buy, but there’s not much to buy,' she said. The house had holes in the ceiling and didn't even have a kitchen . 14 registered buyers turned out for the auction and each battling it out to but the house . About 700 homes went under the hammer in Sydney on Saturday and Domain Group put the clearance rate at 86.1 per cent, the second highest result on record. Ms Blackman sold 22 Ridge St in Surry Hills on Saturday for $1.5 and said everyone was extremely surprised with the outcome, considering the reserve was set at $1.3 million. There were between 80-100 people at the auction and astonishingly 14 buyers registered to bid. The dilapidated four-bedroom Surry Hills terrace was unrenovated with no kitchen, no bathroom and not even a toilet. The home had been in the same family’s hands for more than 60 years, but was left in a state of neglect. Paint was peeling off the walls, holes littered the kitchen ceiling and and the garden was in some serious need of some tender loving care. The house didn't have a bathroom, a toilet or a kitchen but was located in prime real estate . Two other houses on the same street sold last year for less than this house, and they were both renovated . However, what it lacked in amenities it made up for in location and buyers scrambled over themselves to be the one to scoop up the hot property. 'Surry Hills is probably one of the hottest suburbs in Sydney that people want to buy,' Ms

He's out: Ferguson City Council unanimously voted on a resolution to part ways with City Manager John Shaw, 39, effective immediately . The city manager of Ferguson, Missouri, has resigned in the wake of a US Justice Department probe that found a wide range of systemic racially biased practices by the police and municipal court. This evening, the Ferguson City Council unanimously voted on a resolution to part ways with City Manager John Shaw effective immediately. Shaw, 39, was among several individuals heavily criticized in the scathing Justice Department report issued last Wednesday. Shaw had held . the position in the St. Louis suburb since 2007. The Justice Department launched an investigation into . Ferguson's police department and municipal court after the August 9 shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a . white police officer. A news release from the city said the Council had reached a 'mutual separation agreement' with Shaw, the city's chief executive. The statement also said a nationwide search for Shaw's replacement would begin immediately. 'I believe that the city of Ferguson has the resolve to overcome the challenges it faces in the coming months and emerge as a stronger community for it,' Shaw, 39, said in a statement included in the release. Since Brown's death seven months ago, Mayor James Knowles has been the public face and voice of Ferguson's city government.

Ousted: Embattled Ferguson City Manager John Shaw walks past a police officer as he leaves a closed door meeting with Ferguson's mayor and City Council . Shaw has been Ferguson's city manager for eight years. He had previously worked as city clerk and assistant to the city administrator in Shrewsbury, another town in St. Louis County. Online biographies indicate that he grew up in north St. Louis County and lived in Ferguson before working for the city. He was honored in 2013 as a distinguished alumnus of a public policy administration program at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, which is located near Ferguson, and was listed as an adviser for the university's student group for aspiring city managers. Shaw has not spoken publicly about the shooting, protests, grand jury inquiry or Justice Department investigation. He stood silently beside two City Council members at Knowles' Wednesday news conference responding to the Justice Department report and declined, through a city spokesman, a subsequent Associated Press interview request. He was not at Tuesday's meeting. The Justice Department report repeatedly cited Shaw's role in encouraging his police force to aggressively ticket motorists as a means to generate revenue. In one instance, he responded to a Jackson email about a record-setting month for court revenue — nearly $180,000 in February 2011 alone — with the exclamation, 'Wonderful!'

It's the run of games which will go a long way to deciding whether Manchester United are playing Champions League or Europa League football next season. Four of the Premier League's top six - Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea - in their next fives games. Make-or-break for Louis van Gaal and his players. Other than the home clash with relegation-threatened Aston Villa on April 4, Sunday's visit of Spurs would appear to be United's best hope of three points over the next month and a half. But recent results tell a different story. Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney (L-R) look dejected during defeat by Arsenal . Christian Eriksen scores Tottenham's winning goal against Manchester United at Old Trafford last season . Eriksen is mobbed by his team-mates after helping Tottenham to their second consecutive win at Old Trafford . 29.09.2012 - Manchester United 2-3 Tottenham . 20.01.2013 - Tottenham 1-1 Manchester United . 01.12.2013 - Tottenham 2-2 Manchester United . 01.01.2014 - Manchester United 1-2 Tottenham . 28.12.2014 - Tottenham 0-0 Manchester United . Having won 17 and drawn five of their previous 22 games against Tottenham, United now find themselves without a win in their last five matches with the north London outfit. Mauricio Pochettino's men battled to a 0-0 at White Hart Lane in December but Spurs have won their previous two visits to Old Trafford, ending a 23-year wait for victory with a 3-2 triumph in September 2012. United had gone 26 games without defeat at home to Spurs in all competitions - winning their previous nine - before a Jonny Evans own goal and strikes from Gareth Bale and Clint Dempsey gave Andre Villas-Boas' men a memorable win in Manchester. And Tottenham proved that result was no fluke last season when goals from Emmanuel Adebayor and Christian Eriksen sealed a 2-1 victory for Tim Sherwood's side. Gareth Bale scores during Tottenham's 3-2 victory at Old Trafford in September 2012 - their first in 23 years . Clint Dempsey celebrates after netting Spurs' winner against Sir Alex Ferguson's side . Then Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas shows his delight after the final whistle . Two draws at White Hart Lane - 1-1 in January 2013 and 2-2 in December 2013 - were sandwiched between those victories, taking Spurs' unbeaten run to an impressive five games. So impressive, in fact, that they are only the third team to manage such a run against United. Liverpool did the same between 2000 and 2002, winning four consecutive games against their great rivals - including two at Old Trafford - and drawing once. Blackburn Rovers also went five games unbeaten against the Red Devils between 2004 and 2006, winning at Old Trafford in September 2005 and coming out on top in two fixtures at Ewood Park. Just three points behind United going into Sunday's game, Tottenham have a major incentive to pull off their third successive win at Old Trafford and become the first team to go six games unbeaten against United in the Premier League era. Hugo Lloris keeps out

The north London outfit are unbeaten in their last fives games with United . Red Devils enjoyed a fine record against Tottenham until September 2012 .

'Lots of products offer differentiated price tiers by age, like Spotify does for students, for example. 'Tinder is no different; during our testing we've learned, not surprisingly, that younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus, but are more budget constrained, and need a lower price to pull the trigger.' The app has spread widely among smartphone users, getting particular attention at the Sochi Olympics when athletes bragged about 'tindering' for fast hookups. 'With Tinder Plus we're giving our users access to their two most-requested features through Passport and Rewind, as well as unlimited liking capabilities.' The 'rewind' feature allows users to 'take back' a swipe, so if someone accidentally swipes left on a picture - rejecting a potential date - he or she can find that person again later. 'Rewind lets you take back your last swipe,' Tinder says. 'If you accidentally swiped left on someone you want to get to know, they're no longer lost in the Tindersphere forever. Now you can get him/her back with the touch of a button.' The 'Passport' feature allows users to change their location to match with people around the world, such as ahead of a planned vacation or business trip. 'Passport lets you change your location to connect with people anywhere around the world. It's like teleporting to a different location,' the blog said. Tinder, owned by the conglomerate IAC, has not confirmed reports saying the free version of its app will include advertising.

More than 300 former students of a prestigious high school have signed an open letter demanding that an invitation for federal cabinet minister Scott Morrison to speak at a fundraising event is withdrawn. Published in full on the blog of former student Danny Yau, the petition is addressed to Sydney Boys High School's Old Boys Union which is asked to 'immediately rescind the invitation so as to spare the organisation, and the school itself, the embarrassment of being seen to celebrate the achievements of a man who has so flagrantly disregarded human rights'. The former Immigration Minister is scheduled to attend the cocktail fundraiser on April 15 as a guest speaker. Over 300 former students of the prestigious Sydney Boys High School have demanded for Scott Morrison's invitation to speak at the school's fundraiser be withdrawn . He and a number of other former students will present speeches which reflect on 'how their lives were shaped by their experiences at Sydney Boys High School,' the invitation reads. It adds that the $75 ticket fee will 'go towards the construction of the Governors' Centre and to support the on-going activities of the Old Boys Union'. However Mr Morrison's possible attendance has enraged some former students of the school who deplore his role in advocating Australia's detention centres. 'In his capacity as Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Morrison was at best complicit, and at worst the chief protagonist, in advocating offshore immigration detention policies that violate the United Nations Convention against Torture,' the letter reads. The open letter, signed by the Old Boys and addressed to the Old Boys Union, slammed the former Immigration Minister's role in advocating Australia's detention centres . Sydney Boys High School: 'Immediately rescind the invitation so as to spare the organisation, and the school itself, the embarrassment of being seen to celebrate the achievements of a man who has so flagrantly disregarded human rights,' it read . It goes on to say that despite the signatories supporting 'free political discourse, dissent and contrasting opinions', this matter 'is not a question of restricting freedom of speech, but instead reflects the desire not to tacitly endorse the actions of a man who has demonstrated callous disregard for human rights.

A man standing trial after being accused of robbing a bank in California was likely left with a bad taste in his mouth after an apparent bid to convince the jury he was insane proved unsuccessful. While he was testifying at San Luis Obispo Superior Court last week, Andrew Gilbertson pulled some feces out of his pants and ate it. He was on trial for robbing a Bank of America branch in the central California city in 2013. Scroll down for video . Andrew Gilbertson was standing trial in San Luis Obispo Superior Court in California for a 2013 bank robbery . While he was testifying, the 40-year-old defendant reached into his pants, pulled out feces and then ate it . Gilbertson's attempt to convince the jury he was insane didn't work and he was found guilty of robbery . Gilbertson, 40, was pleading not guilty by reason of insanity and claimed he heard voices in his head, according to the San Luis Obispo Tribune. His defense attorney, Brian Buckley, apologized after the excrement eating. Buckley said: 'When I said this was going to be an unusual case, that wasn't what I was expecting.' Despite his unorthodox attempt to convince the jury he was insane during the robbery, Gilbertson was found guilty of robbery and burglary. Deputy District Attorney Dave Pomeroy told the jury, who took about half a day to hand down the verdict, that Gilbertson was sane when he robbed the bank and when he ate his poop. Pomeroy said: 'That was upsetting a couple of days ago. 'Obviously, it was designed to produce emotion.' He added that Gilbertson showed off his hands during the stunt to 'be sure you all clearly understood what he had in his hand and what he was doing'. The district attorney argued Gilbertson pulled off the heist because he 'really, really likes methamphetamine' Gilbertson said the Virgin Mary told him to disguise himself and rob the Bank of America in San Luis Obispo . He has previous convictions for sexual battery, aggravated battery and failure to register as a sex offender . Before he ate his waste, Gilbertson told the jury the Virgin Mary told him to wear a disguise and rob the Bank of America, KSBY reported.

'He testified that he really, really likes methamphetamine.' Gilbertson has previous convictions for sexual battery, aggravated battery, failure to register as a sex offender and car theft. A sentencing date for his latest conviction has not been set.

Appearing to hover in midair, this is the astonishing moment a U.S. Special Forces Paratrooper was snapped throwing a salute to his comrades while jumping backwards out of a plane over Germany. Despite being nearly 17,000ft in the air, the soldier, from the 1st Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group, appears completely unfazed as he leaves the C-130 Hercules aircraft. The stunning photograph was captured during a training mission over a U.S. Special Forces Parachute Jump drop zone on February 24. The 10th Special Forces group was founded in 1952 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, but was split in 1953 with one half being sent to Germany, while the other half folded into the 77th Special Forces Group. The unit regularly takes part in training expercises with NATO allies in Europe, and has served in the Gulf wars, carried out humanitarian missions, and helped to train Middle Eastern forces.

Police are hunting a driver who fled the scene after mowing down and leaving a 15-year-old cyclist to die in the road. Adam Jones was crossing a junction in West Bromwich, West Midlands, shortly after 7.30pm on Thursday when he was run over by the Volkswagen Bora. The teenager was thrown through the windscreen of the vehicle causing serious injuries.

Paramedics arrived to the junction of Beacon View Road and Walsall Road, but the young cyclist had suffered 'extensive injuries' and was confirmed dead at the scene. Friends and family paid tribute to Adam, from Wednesbury, West Midlands, who was known as 'Gadget' with dozens of flowers and balloons at the scene.

Tim O'Connell and his wife (pictured here) were driven to their wits end by the rowdy fraternity members next door . A Texas fraternity at the Southern Methodist University has suspended eight members for terrorizing their neighbors. Security footage of rowdy Sigma Chi brothers filmed by Tim O'Connell, 42, reveals how they would urinate on his fence, write obscenities into the snow on his yard, spit on his house and throw raw meat onto his patio. Just like the Hollywood movie Neighbors, starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, the dispute began when O'Connell and his wife complained about the noise from the off-campus students, who lived in an upmarket home near to SMU. 'I brought it to their attention and said 'you can't do that.' They told me they pay rent and they can do whatever they want. It's their right,' O'Connell recounted to News 8. In a statement to address the behavior of their members, the Sigma Chi fraternity said that hopefully now the O'Connell's will be able to sleep better. 'The apology is just the first step in making amends to you for the tenants' actions. I am also working on various forms of punishment for the culprits,' wrote Steve Harrington, Sigma Chi chapter advisor, in an e-mail to O'Connell that was shared with News 8. Appalled by the actions of their neighbors, O'Connell and his wife set up a camera and caught the young men next door violating their property and hurling abuse their way. Warring: Tim O'Connell claims his life was made a misery living next door to Sigma Chi brothers who lived in the house on the right, while O'Connell lived in the house on the left . Like a movie: Tim O'Connell's experience was reminiscent of the Zac Efron and Seth Rogen comedy 'Neighbors' which featured a married couple battling a party-loving fraternity . O'Connell told News 8 the disgusting behavior escalated after he complained about their noise. In response to viewing the footage of their members urinating on O'Connells fence and writing f*** you into the snow on their front lawn, the fraternity have said they will also fine the members. 'I want to make this a learning opportunity for these men,' Harrington wrote in the e-mail to O'Connell. 'I believe that community service and charitable work and/or donations would show them a way to get out of themselves. I believe that being young and self-centered is the main contributor to the behavior they displayed, showing no regard for others. We need to teach them otherwise.' O'Connell claims he asked SMU for help before, but got no response. According to News 8 an investment firm is the owner of the the home and they admitted that O'Connell has had problems with the tennents before. One of the investors told News 8 that the fraternity will be leaving in May.

Oscar Wilde may have said ‘I can resist everything except temptation,' but he didn't have a smart safe to help him. The cylindrical device, called kSafe, keeps various forms of temptation locked away - whether it is fattening cookies, cigarettes or a time-consuming games controller. And the only way to unlock it is to reach pre-determined fitness goals, such as walking a set number of steps in a day. Scroll down for video . No more temptation: The cylindrical device, called kSafe, locks up a form of temptation - whether it is fattening cookies, cigarettes or a time-consuming games controller (pictured) The San Diego-based start-up behind the device said on its Kickstarter site: ‘kSafe is part of a research proven system that turns temptation into motivation, so you always achieve your goals.’ Users place an object of temptation into the safe and then set a goal using the accompanying app. There are three types of goals to choose from including activity goals, location goals and time goals. For example, for an activity goal, users could set the safe to unlock once they have taken a certain number of steps or burned enough calories, while a location goal may help motivate students. Strict: The only way to unlock the kSafe is to reach pre-determined fitness goals, such as walking a set number of steps in a day, which can be set and tracked on an app (pictured left and right) Users will place temptation into the kSafe, whether that is a bar of chocolate or iPad, for example. They will then set a goal using the smartphone app and lock the kSafe. There are three different types of choose from and the level of difficulty can be set - but not lessened once the safe has been locked. The kSafe will only unlock once a user has reached their goal. Users will be able to follow their progress on a light-up button and app. ‘Set kSafe to only unlock once you've arrived and checked-in to a location, like a gym or library,' the company said. The safe will be able to be instructed to open on certain days or at certain times, which the firm added can be used to break bad habits, such as snacking between meal times. It claimed the safe ‘crams years of willpower and behavioural research from MIT, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton in to a fun, effective, and easy to use product.’ It uses pre-commitment, an example of which is moving an alarm clock out of reach so the user can’t reach the snooze button, to make people commit to a smart choice, knowing that they'll probably be tempted later. The device also capitalises on the idea of reward substitution, much like at school when a person may have worked hard on homework to earn going to a party. ‘Even though making your boss happy or acing a test has more long term benefits, it's wanting that beer with our friends that motivates us to finish,' the company wrote. Motivational: Users will be able to view their progress

Summary: kSafe locks up a form of temptation such as cookies or a games controller . It will only unlock once a goal has been met, which is set on a smartphone . Users will be able to check their progress on a light-up dial or via an app . Device can be pre-ordered on Kickstarter for $89 (£60)


Graeme Souness will not be changing his opinion of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, despite criticism from the Portuguese coach. In the aftermath of Chelsea's Champions League exit to Paris St Germain, former Liverpool manager and current Sky Sports pundit Souness was highly critical of them, referring to some of Chelsea's actions as 'pathetic'. He continued his complaints, with Mourinho responding in a press conference on Friday, calling the Scot a 'frustrated man'. Graeme Souness labelled Chelsea's gamesmanship during PSG defeat as 'pathetic' The Sky Sports pundit, pictured with Thierry Henry (right), has refused to back down over criticism . Using his hands to gesture, Mourinho raised his left hand above his head to illustrate Souness' high level as a player and whacked his left on a low desk to signify his own career. When it came to management, the Portuguese's right hand was raised high and his left, for Souness' management career, wavered just above the desk. Mourinho said: 'The difference between me and Souness is this - Souness as a player, up there. Jose Mourinho as a player, down here. Jose Mourinho as a manager, up here. Souness as a manager, down there. 'With another difference: I was not a frustrated man because I was not a top player. He is clearly a frustrated man.' Blues manager Jose Mourinho responded by saying Souness is 'a frustrated man' Nine Chelsea players surrounded the referee to demand that Zlatan Ibrahimovic (not pictured) was sent off . Diego Costa trains at Cobham ahead of Chelsea's Premier League clash with Southampton on Sunday . But writing in the Sunday Times, Souness was sticking to his guns. 'He had his say about me at his press conference on Friday and he is entitled to his opinion, but it won't change mine,' he said. 'When he reflects on what went wrong against PSG and addresses it , I hope - yet doubt - that will include the obsession with gamesmanship. 'It seemed more important to Chelsea than getting on the ball and taking on PSG in a game of football, which they were more than capable of winning. They are a far better team than they showed. Getting the opposition booked by their excessive reaction to fouls became their priority. I was angered and saddened by that approach.' Chelsea holding midfielder Nemanja Matic has spoken out following his ban for violent conduct . Matic is escorted off the field after reacting to a horror tackle by Barnsley's Ashley Barnes . Meanwhile, Blues midfielder Nemanja Matic has spoken about his sending off for pushing Burnley's Ashley Barnes. Matic served a two-match ban - which included the Capital One Cup Final - for his reaction to a challenge from the Burnley striker which Mourinho referred to a 'criminal'. Speaking to a number of national newspapers, Matic said: 'Of course my reaction was not good but this reaction was because I thought that I break a leg. I am a happy man because I can walk.'
