Famed Rose Bowl to host FC Barcelona v LA Galaxy

The southern California stadium, which has a rich history including big football matches, is the first stop on Barça's US tour

The Rose Bowl, one of the most famous outdoor stadiums in American sporting history, and one which has hosted a plethora of major sporting events since it was built in 1922, will open its doors once again to international football when FC Barcelona arrive in Pasadena, California to take on the Los Angeles Galaxy in Match Six of the 2015 International Champions Cup on Tuesday, 21 July at 8.00pm PT (5.00am CET on Wednesday, 22 July.

With a natural grass playing surface and an official seating capacity of 92,542, the Rose Bowl is perhaps most renowned for American football. It is currently the home field of the UCLA Bruins of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the site of the Rose Bowl game — arguably the most famous of several annual "bowls" that, over the building's history, have formed part of the NCAA's ever-evolving championship system.

Aside from having held many other events, including the track cycling events of the 1932 Olympic Games and music concerts featuring a who's who of performers — from Depeche Mode, Metallica and Michael Jackson to Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and U2 — the Rose Bowl also has a rich history hosting matches from that global sport that Americans like to call 'soccer.'

Soccer, erm, football history

In fact, FC Barcelona's first preseason opponents this summer, the Galaxy themselves, called the Rose Bowl home from the team's founding in 1996 until they moved to their current home in 2003.

Aside from Major League Soccer (MLS) matches, the southern California stadium has seen its share of the international spotlight as well. The Rose bowl hosted eight matches as one of the main sites of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, including four in the first round, one in the last 16, one of the two semi-finals, and a thrilling Final between Italy and Brazil, who won 3–2 on penalty kicks after 120 minutes of scoreless play.

For Barça, the Rose Bowl is not overly familiar, and that's because the Catalans have only played there once. On 1 August 2009, Pep Guardiola's squad, fresh off the first treble-winning campaign in Club history, took on David Beckham and the Galaxy and emerged with a 2–1 triumph on goals from Bojan Krkić and Jeffren Suárez.

On 21 July, Luis Enrique and his own Treble-winner will be back to try and equal, or improve, on that result.

Some commercial vehicle drivers in Abuja have protested against alleged harassment and extortion by officials of the Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) which they say has led to accidents and deaths of their members.

According to the protesters, a joint task force supervised by the VIO ambush and extort money from drivers at will, even when no traffic laws were broken.

They called on the government to scrap the task force before things get out of hand.

However, the Director, FCT Vehicle Inspection Office, Mr Danjuma Garba, has denied the allegations, saying his officers carry out their duties professionally.

He explained that all activities of his men are in the interest of the drivers, other road users and the society.

Mr Danjuma, however, said that the task force is undergoing a reformation to help identify touts who might be hiding under its name to commit crime.

Controlling traffic and maintaining order among drivers has often pitched law enforcement officials against commercial vehicle drivers in Abuja, although the city is carefully planned with traffic lights.

Dogara and his loyalist plan to defect to PDP- Femi Gbajabiamila

Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila claims the speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and his loyalists in the House are planning to defect to the opposition party, PDP. According to The Cable, he made the claims while speaking at a meeting with President Buhari and Vice Presient Osinbajo at the Presidential villa yesterday July 1st

"The conduct of the 39 APC members colluding with the PDP is tantamount to affront, ultimately targeted at polarising our party so as to give room for many of them to decamp to the PDP. The 39 APC members in the house continue to collude with the PDP to flagrantly disobey Mr. President, the governors and the party with a view to bringing the party and government to ridicule before Nigerians. It is therefore imperative for Mr. President to take a stand and save the integrity of the party, by cautioning, the 39 members, which include the speaker and the deputy speaker, to respect, honour and obey our party leaders and their directives.

The party has chosen not to punish the 39 APC members including the elected speaker and deputy speaker, but chose to direct, as it is customary and conventional, on how the other four (4) principal officers should be distributed. Alas! The opposition and the 39 members continue to hold the ruling party in contempt by disobeying the party.

Whereas, the beneficiaries of the disobedience are citing federal character principle as the main reason for their disobedience. The house of representatives is not an agency of the federal government and the principal officers positions are elective and not by appointment. If the federal character is applicable to the national assembly, then both the senate president and the speaker cannot come from the north, one of them should be advised to step down."he said

Yobe Civil Servants Applaud Government For Prompt Payment Of Salaries

Read..This is the news for you ....peeps ...always come back for more......

NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....

Jul 2nd 2015, 15:25

Civil servants in the troubled Yobe State, Northeast Nigeria, have applauded the government for punctually paying their salaries despite the security challenges and the harsh economic situation across the country.

The commendation came in the wake of the inability of some state governments in the country to promptly respond to the salary needs of their employees for several months.

The First Vice Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state, Mohammed Inuwa Gulani, said that the state government has been a habitual payer of its personnel as the government never owes the workforce.

While commending the state government in that regard, he called on the state civil servants to reciprocate such gesture with hard work, saying for whom much is given, much is expected.

The union leader also urged other states of the federation in salary crisis to emulate Yobe State Government by making better effort at ensuring the salaries of their employees are paid promptly.

Some civil servants who spoke to Channels Television also confirmed that their salaries have indeed always been paid as and when due.

Praising the government, they said that the state government under Governor Ibrahim Gaidam has never defaulted since he took over governance in the state.

The civil servants, however, expressed concern about some of their colleagues in some states of the federation who have not been paid for several months, wondering how such workers are meeting their needs.

Meanwhile, reacting to the workers’ commendation, the Spokesman of the Yobe State Government, Abdullahi Bego, said that the prompt response of the government to salary matters is not surprising because as a retired Permanent Secretary the Governor knows the value of his workforce.

The Spokesman also said that as an Accountant, Governor Ibrahim Gaidam has been prudent in the management of his meagre resources despite the harsh economic situation and he would continue to meet the needs of the civil servants at all times

Abdullahi Bego also said that the State Government will continue to venture into meaningful programmes according to the 2015 budget, giving the assurance that more would be implemented when the economic situation improves for the better.
