By Unknown at 16:13 Gossip, sport No comments

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez sparked rumors of a move to Real Madrid with comments made in a radio interview in his native Uruguay on Wednesday.

Speaking to Sport 890 (cited by AS), Suarez said: “I have a contract with Liverpool, but it would be very difficult to say no to Real Madrid.” Suarez said his treatment by the English press has been difficult to accept.

The 26-year-old signed a "long-term" contract with Liverpool last August (viaLiverpoolFC.com), saying at the time he was "so happy" on and off the pitch . He joined Liverpool from Ajax in 2011 and scored 23 goals in 33 Premier League appearances this past season.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have an agreement in place to send Suarez to the Spanish capital. The deal, which is not finalized, would run four years and give Suarez higher wages. The report also says Suarez's current contract has a £40 million release clause.

You are your greatest source of inspiration. It is an energy that lives and breathes inside of you. Similar to the soul, it is infinite, limitless, boundless and pure.

Tapping into your inspiration has little to do with doing, changing or figuring things out. Those responses create unsupportive barriers which clog the pathways of this force. It is a feeling that emerges from inside and expands outward. You may recognize it through a flash of insight, a rise in energy, an a ha moment or internal shift in your state of mind.

Just like life happens, inspiration happens. You have no control over how and when, however you can influence it. To strengthen and discover the depths of your source, all you need to do is breathe into the ordinary moments of your day. Breathe like you did when you were an infant, a slow, deep, rhythmic breath that extends far into your lower belly. This automatically hooks you up to the subtle energies

Breaking News ! Fuel tanker reportedly hijacked off Nigeria coast

By Unknown at 15:23 Breaking News, News No comments

Pirates hijacked a fuel tanker off the coast of Nigeria's oil-rich delta, taking Pakistani and Nigerian sailors hostage in the latest attack targeting the region, private security officials said Tuesday.

The gunmen boarded the MT Matrix I some 40 nautical miles off the coast of Nigeria's Bayelsa state early Saturday morning, the officials said, taking a number of the crew hostage. It wasn't immediately known what happened to the rest of the crew. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity as the Nigerian government was not speaking publicly about the hijacking.

A military spokesman in the delta referred calls for comment Tuesday to Nigeria's navy. Commodore Kabir Aliyu, a navy spokesman, said there had been no report of a hijacking made to officials.

Some shippers in the region don't report hijackings publicly, out of fears of having their insurance premiums rise.

Telephone numbers for Pakistan's High Commission in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, could not be immediately connected Tuesday.

Nigerian naval authorities listed the ship as one of several allowed to bring subsidized gasoline into the country in May as part of a program costing the nation billions of dollars a year.

Oil tanker hijackings have happened more and more in recent months, with pirates stealing the fuel onboard, as opposed to kidnapping sailors for ransom. Estimates suggest pirates likely are able to make as much as a $2 million profit for offloading 3,000 tons of fuel. Foreign hostages still draw tens of thousands of dollars in ransoms, with nearly all released unharmed after their companies pay for their freedom.

The piracy and kidnappings have grown around Nigeria's oil delta, despite a 2009 government amnesty program for militants there.
