Man arrested after throwing bottle onto the track as sprinters lined up for London 2012 men's 100m final

Police confirmed that a male had been detained after the bottle landed behind the Olympic runners as they were called to the set position.

It landed behind Yohan Blake’s lane a few yards behind the runners, but did not affect the start.

Dutch judoka Edith Bosch appeared to claim to have challenged the man.

 The Twitter account @edithbosch posted: “A drunken guest throws a bottle for me on the track! I HAVE BEATEN HIM... Unbelievable! Mad disrespectful”

Justin Gatlin said: "There was a little distraction (at the start) and I didn't know what it was. You could hear a pin drop. You just have to block it out. It was a great race, one in the history books and I'm glad to be a part of it. The crowd were electrifying." 
Bolt said he was not disturbed by the bottle incident.
"I keep hearing about the bottle but I didn't see anything," he said.

The security breach was an embarrassment for London organisers, with the incident seen by hundreds of millions of people on TV around the world.

 Locog said security were called in immediately and the man was ejected. They said they were unclear whether Bosch's claim to have punched the man were true, and that she could face charges if she did.

"I Didn’t Love My Husband At First" - Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde

Anytime Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde speaks about her husband, her face lights up in a smile. And then, no question about the sort of relationship they both share is complete without the shapely actress saying, “If I had not married him, I would not have married anyone else.” 


And this is quite understandable, as their union of 16 years has weathered the storm and is one of the few in the industry that is scandal free.

Surprisingly, the actress says scandals are expected when an individual is famous. As such, they add up in making her life story more interesting. She adds that she is not bothered because her husband is very understanding.

“It would have been extremely painful if my husband takes things to heart, then it would have been a roller coaster ride for me and then I have to go through the problem again and again. God has been great you know, ‘the guy no get wahala,” She quips.

As a veteran in the marriage business, Omosexy, as the actress is fondly called reveals that the love was not instantaneous. “I always tell people that when I met him. I was not in love with him but he says for him it was love at first sight so I had to grow to love him. I was attracted to him because of his maturity. I saw the ability for him to see me. I mean, he knows me more than I know myself. It is just weird I can’t explain. You just can’t get it. But he feels my pain, it is easy for him.

When their paths first crossed, a young Omotola had just lost her father; hence the emotional trauma she was experiencing at that time was overwhelming.

Then her husband showed up with a ray of hope and then she fell for his charming nature. “In those days I was young so there were ways I particularly handle things that were immature so I would snap very fast because I was short-tempered. So many people will think I was very difficult even my mother. But he would tell her to leave me alone. Even then, my mother will say ‘you will not marry, there is no one that will marry you,’’ She says with a smile.

Describing her husband as her love ‘therapist’, Ekeinde attributes her spiritual growth to her husband. “I have even gone closer to Christ because of his exemplary behavior and the way he handles things. With the maturity I find in him, I can admire that and then emulate him. That is the connection and the way I have been able to live with him.”

Asked if she considers herself a doting mother to her four children, the actress lets out a gale of laughter, saying , “In my own mind yes. In fact my kids think I am their situation too much. So I am thinking that if I was around, they would have run away from the house. I feel I am a very hands on mum in fact I just got back from Ghana and they were telling me that I am always on the phone with them. Even though my husband is always around, I know what they are doing every minute. I think I am a bit too strict with them maybe because I am taking after my mother. She was a disciplinarian to the core.”

CHRIS BROWN Drops Diss Song About Drake

Chris Brown has taken his beef with Drake out of the nightclub and put it where it belongs ... on record ... by dropping a new verse that rips his hip-hop adversary.

The new song -- a remix track called "Game Don't Like" -- was released today on djorator.com. CB has a verse on the song, which mentions "throwin' bottles" but then takes a shot at Drake. Brown raps:

One on one, what you scared bruh?
Huh, matter of fact, "Take Care" bruh.
You're a pu**y ni**a.

"Take Care," for the uninitiated, is the name of Drake's most recent album.

Drake ... your move.

3 Things Microsoft Cannot Explain

This are 3 Things or Magic that MICROSOFT Could not Explain to Us! TRY this out & Pls Share your Candid Opinion by Posting your Comments.

MAGIC #1
Found that nobody can create a FOLDER anywhere on the Computer which can be named as "CON" without the Quotes. This is something funny and inexplicable? At Microsoft the whole Team, couldn't answer why this happened! TRY IT NOW, IT WILL NOT CREATE A "CON" FOLDER. After Trying it, I thought it's Impossible to Create a Folder with 3 letters but i was able to create many Folders with just 3 letters but CON, No way.

MAGIC #2
Again this is something funny and can't be explained? At Microsoft the whole Team, including Bill Gates, couldn't answer why this happened! It was discovered by a Brazilian Programmer. Try it out yourself? Open Microsoft Word and type "=rand (200, 99)" without Quotes And then press ENTER, Wait and see the magic! Is this a Bug or What??

Magic #3
Am sure you all know that a flight number from one of the planes that hit one of the two WTC towers in U.S by Osama on 9/11 was Q33N. In Notepad / WordPad or Microsoft Word, type that flight number i.e Q33N. Increase the font size to 72 then Change the font to Wingdings, You will be amazed by the Findings, You should see the Picture of a Plane, 2 Tower Building and a Symbol meaning Danger.. This has actually been in existence even before the Incident.. Microsoft should be able to explain this. 

Microsoft should be able to explain this.

The Power of Anger

A Professor was teaching about Proverbs 15: 1. 
He asked his students, 'why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?' 
The students thought for a... while. One said, "because we lose our calm". "But why shout when the other person is just next to you?", asked the professor. "Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you are angry?" 
The students gave some answers but none satisfied the Professor. 
Finally he explained, "when two people are angry at each other, there is a distance in their hearts psychologically. To cover the distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will shout to hear each other through that great distance." Then the Professor asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly. Why? Because their hearts are psychologically close. The distance between them is very close." The Professor continued, "When they love each other even more, what happens? They don't speak, only whisper and they even get closer to each other in their love." Finally, they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all.....So next time you shout on a loved one, know that you are creating distance between your heart and that person’s heart." 


Proverbs 15:1 says a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Question: "How can married people avoid emotional affairs?"

An emotional affair occurs when a married person shares emotional intimacy and support with an individual other than his/her spouse. Marital partners should share problems, feelings, and needs with one other and determine the boundaries of what can be shared and to whom. Depending on others to meet our emotional needs can become a temptation, especially when spouses spend much time apart while spending large blocks of time with others. Co-workers and those in close proximity on a daily basis can become a substitute for emotional support. Work relations and friendships need to have proper boundaries to ensure they do not become inappropriate.

Britain may bar corrupt politicians’ children from schools

The British Government may soon begin to bar children of corrupt Nigerian politicians from its private schools.

This follows last month’s conviction of a former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, by a London crown court for stealing millions of pounds from the treasury of his state and spending the same to acquire luxury items around the world.

Ibori was convicted and sentenced to 13 years in jail after he pleaded guilty to stealing and laundering over $80m.

In an interview with Cable News Network, the Unit head of the Proceeds of Corruption Unit of London’s Metropolitan Police, Detective Chief Inspector Jonathan Benton, gave the hint that some measures would be applied against corrupt Nigerian politicians in the wake of the Ibori conviction.

He said, “We hope that, by tackling the likes of James Ibori, we’re saying to those stealing from the state purse, you can’t have your children at private school in London. You can’t have a multimillion pound house in one of the most affluent areas of London. You can’t drive around in top of the range vehicles. We won’t let you move money around to buy multimillion pound jets.”
