Ethics committee says Blatter had 'all his rights'

By -
FIFA's ethics committee on Friday rejected claims by suspended FIFA president Sepp Blatter that he was not allowed to give evidence to the committee.

"He had all his rights, including explaining himself in all necessary details. And with his lawyer," ethics committee spokesman Andreas Bantel told AFP.
After Blatter's suspension on Thursday, his lawyers said: "President Blatter was disappointed that the ethics committee did not follow the code of ethics and disciplinary code, both of which provide for an opportunity to be heard."

Happiness is a Friend Away

By -
What can we do when we have a friend who is truly unhappy with their life? Do we sit back and watch them self-destruct in their own situations in their lives where they seem to be oblivious to what is actually going on? Is it our position to even say anything in the first place? If we elect to say something, how receptive will they be to even hear about it? Should we be considered a true friend if we just let this all continue to happen and do nothing about it? These may be some of the questions that arise when we see a friend who we feel is utterly unhappy with the situations and with their own lives. To change this would bring a smile to our own faces as happiness would surely set in for loved one. How do we do this without causing some sort of conflict with them and/or lose the friendshipthat we have worked so hard to keep. Changing one’s own happinessis something that has to come from within. There are many reasons why someone may be unhappy with their own situations, but we cannot...

Nintendo delays first smartphone 'game'

By -
Nintendo has announced its first smartphone 'game', but delayed its launch from the end of the year until next March. As some predicted, it was not a Super Mario game, but "Miitomo", an app in which players create their own avatars to talk to each other. The company's share price fell as much as 10 percent on the news. But one analyst said it was a typically cautious and prudent first step into smartphone gaming from Nintendo. Nintendo said that Miitomo would be a "free-to-start communication application". Players would create their own Mii avatars, which they could use to chat to other players, it said at a launch event in Tokyo on Thursday. It will also reportedly feature in-app purchases. The features have more in common with a social network than a traditional Nintendo game. Miitomo was designed as an introduction to Nintendo's other, yet to be announced, smartphone gaming efforts, the firm said, adding that it planned to have five apps...
