Saleh went for treatment after the attack that was carried out on the mosque within the presidential palace.

According to Sufi, the Yemeni President is in good health and will continue to address Yemeni affairs from Saudi Arabia.

Sufi added, “The arrangements are currently being made for this appearance, which will definitely be followed by important media events.”

Having a wonderful father is a blessing, and so is being the father of wonderful children!

This special “Father’s Day” comes and goes every year, with people around the globe celebrating it with a lot of enthusiasm and by professing their love to their beloved dad! Some people argue that there should not be one single day to express love but every single day should be like that. Well the fact is simple and straight forward; it is not that we don’t love our father the other 364 days out of the 365 but it is just that one special day can add to the fun to both the sides- fathers and children.

Father’s day is a day to celebrate fatherhood and the paternal bond. It is a day in the honor of fathers, and their influence on not only their individual children, but on the society at large. This may include celebrating a special day out with your dad, a gift giving tradition, or simply a special meal. Or if not that, then it could simply mean a little warm conversation maybe over the phone to make him smile and tell him how much you love him.

This tradition of celebrating father’s day started sometime back in the 20^th century as a compliment to mother’s day. It is celebrated across a variety of dates over the year, in different countries.

A father is the same special person for everyone, who is the moral support, financial support, the one person you can always fall back on no matter how much you mess up on things. Every child looks up to his/her father as the best man ever, and the best super hero, or the best role-model and someone he or she would like to be like when they grow up. The love is unconditional, and this is a natural phenomenon, gifted by God.

Love your father, as much as he loves you. If anything goes wrong, then don’t ever let yourself think that your dad doesn’t love you, because he was the one behind your inception and he can’t EVER, stop loving you!

Previously, The ethics committee at FIFA cleared Sepp Blatter, a Swiss national who has been leading FIFA since 1998, while it accused and suspended the Vice President Jack Warner and executive committee member Mohamed Bin Hammam (who was also standing for the post of president) of corruption therefore leaving Blatter unopposed for the presidential elections scheduled for June 1.

As the charges of corruption against FIFA show up, the Football Association decided not to vote. However now it wants to delay the elections and has also demanded for “improved governance” of FIFA through an independent body.

David Bernstein, the Football Association chairman, said in his statement: “On 19 May, 2011 the Football Association announced it would be abstaining in the forthcoming election for the FIFA presidency.

“There were two main reasons for this decision. First, a concern, that a series of allegations relating to FIFA ExCo Members made it difficult to support either candidate.

“Secondly, a concern about the lack of transparency and accountability within the organization, contributing to the current unsatisfactory situation.

“Events of the last few days have reinforced our views, and we call on FIFA and ask other national associations to support us with two initiatives.

“First, to postpone the election and give credibility to this process, so any alternative reforming candidate could have the opportunity to stand for president.

“Secondly, to appoint a genuinely independent external party to make recommendations regarding improved governance and compliance procedures and structures throughout the FIFA decision-making processes for consideration by the full membership.

Moreover the football association has put forward these demands by looking at the concerns shown by sponsors, coca cola and Adidas, over the charges of corruption on FIFA that are damaging its reputation.

69 years old Ratko Mladic is Europe’s most wanted war crimes fugitive who has been caught after being 16 years on run and is currently held in a Serbian jail. Ratko Mladic is accused of the atrocities committed during the Bosnian war in 1992-1995 and hence is charged by the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, for genocide during the war.

Ratko’s son, Darko Mladic claims that “Whatever was done in Srebrenica, he has nothing to do with it.” He also states that “His orders were to evacuate the wounded, the women and the children and then the fighters. Whatever was done behind his back, he has nothing to do with that.”

Darko also claims that at the time his father made the claims it was not clear that he is suffering from several health issues that need to be looked upon.

Moreover the defense lawyers for Ratko Mladic have also claimed that his mental condition is not appropriate and he is psychologically deteriorating and thus he is not fit to be extradited to a U.N. war crimes tribunal. On one hand Ratko Mladic’s family and lawyers continue to assert on his poor health however on the other hand Serbian prosecutors insist that he is absolutely fit to stand trial.

“Who said she’s been axed?” she told reporters. “Has anyone heard Simon say she’s been fired? All the reports that I’ve heard had said that she’s doing really well on the show.

“Being a judge on one of these shows is like being in Dynasty. Who gets to sit next to Simon? The girls are fighting over him.”

“The horse’s mouth did not tell me she was sacked,” she said.

“Someone’s taken something and run with it. Maybe her mum needs to fly over to America. People are freaking out and cussing out on Twitter. I say hang on just a minute. Simon is back in the UK and shortly any minute now, hopefully, we will know more.”

Many people consider this departure as a publicity stunt; however all of such claims have been dismissed by Sinitta.

“That would be really mean and I don’t think he would do that. He’s been helping her a lot and she’s been great for the show,” she said. “They are so close. So close.”

Many of the stars are turning to support the Cole; Dannii Minogue axed UK X Factor judge was the very first who offers her good feelings via Twitter.

“Judging roles should come with a life jacket, drop down oxygen and a life raft!” she added.

Russell Brand has also condemned this decision “Our Cheryl? That canna be right! Our Cheryl, kicked off X Factor? What the American one? And I’ve come to this country in good faith and they’ve kicked Cheryl off, our Cheryl? Oh No! She’s Britain’s sweetheart”.

The Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act (Protect IP) is in the queue for full senate. Similar version of the legislation is being expected in the House soon.

The bill will give authorization to Justice Department to seek a court order ordering the third parties like search engines, payment methods, advertising networks to stop providing transactions and support to websites which are involved in online infringement.

The law will also give the holders of copyrights an opportunity to exercise right of action to seek stoppage of payments from processors and ad services.

“Our legislation is intended to protect the investment American companies make in developing brands and creating content, and will protect the jobs associated with those investments,” said Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), a co-author of the bill.

Microsoft also announced its support, with its general counsel Brad Smith writing “because piracy harms not only the rights owner, but our economy more broadly, it is reasonable to expect responsible companies to step up.”

Google’s executive chairman Eric Schmidt, however, expressed opposition to the bill last week, and a coalition of public interest organizations and digital rights groups sent a letter to Leahy and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) expressing concerns over a provision in which Internet providers would be directed to interfere with domain name systems.
