WBO concludes Manny Pacquiao topped Timothy Bradley

Five independent judges hired by the World Boxing Organization became the latest to conclude that Manny Pacquiao defeated Timothy Bradley when they fought for the welterweight title on June 9 in Las Vegas.


WBO president Francisco "Paco" Valcarcel announced on June 13 he would have a panel of what he called "five international judges" review the scoring of the highly controversial bout. Bradley won a split decision and ended Pacquiao's seven-year winning streak in a result that outraged the sporting world. Even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he thought Pacquiao won the fight.

Men who drink lots tea likely to develop cancer

Men who drink lots of tea are far more likely to develop prostate cancer, researchers have warned. They found that those who drank seven or more cups a day had a 50 per cent higher risk of contracting the disease than men who had three or fewer. 




The warning comes after scientists at the University of Glasgow tracked the health of more than 6,000 men for four decades. Their findings run counter to previous research, which had suggested that tea-drinking lowers the risk of cancer, as well as heart disease, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease. 


Its results were based on the Midspan Collaborative Study, which started in Scotland in 1970 when 6,016 men aged between 21 and 75 were asked detailed questions about their lifestyle, including daily tea intake, then monitored for up to 37 years. 


The study team found 6.4 per cent of those who consumed at least seven cups of tea per day contracted prostate cancer compared to 4.6 per cent of those who drank three cups at most. 515400_US Market ONLY - Olotels New York 468x60

Emirates ID decides to extend Dubai population’s registration deadline for one month


Decision takes into consideration the conditions of workers and helps them avoid delay fees

3.3 million registration and renewal transactions have been received by the Emirates ID since the beginning of 2012

Emirates ID has announced registration of 90 per cent of Dubai population

The Emirates Identity authority has announced the extension of the deadline for registering Dubai population in the ID card for one extra month after taking into consideration the conditions of the emirate’s workers who have not been able to register yet so as to help them avoid delay fees.

The Emirates ID unveiled that it received 3.3 million transactions for issuing ID cards over the first five months of 2012 including one million (new and renewal) forms that were filled out in May, this being the highest number of forms received by the Emirates ID in one month since registration started in 2005.

The Emirates ID said it decided to extend the deadline for registering the ID card for the holders of residences issued in Dubai for one month up to June 30, noting that this initiative was in response to the calls received through its website and its pages on the social networking sites and through the mass media.

The Emirates ID added that the deadline was extended despite its success in registering around 90 per cent of Dubai population as part of the registration deadline for the residents in the emirate which was over the day before yesterday. The Emirates ID said its affiliated centers did not witness any abnormal crowds, attributing the crowds witnessed by the Dubai-based typing centers in the last week of the deadline to the culture of “waiting till the last minute.”

The Emirates ID clarified that the majority of the remaining section of Dubai population who had not been able yet to register in the ID card belongs to the category of workers, noting that the one month extension of the deadline took into consideration the conditions of this category and was aimed at helping it avoid delay fees.
