Why Roman Abramovich believes Rafa Benítez is right for Chelsea | Sachin Nakrani
Benitez is a winner and you can get the best out of Fernando Torres, but his skills extend far beyond
Critics argue that Rafa Benitez is a power hungry, money wasting, self-obsessive, unable to manage at the highest level. However, it seems that the next selection should be in charge of Chelsea, Roman Abramovich decided to put his trust in those who have more positive things to say about the Spaniards, and, perhaps, a particular person.
"Rafa Benitez was the highlight of my coaching career. It was the only thing I knew to help me improve. Their priority is the team, but is designed to s adapt to conditions for all the team. This is his secret. He taught me a lot and thanks to him I matured as a professional. "
These are the words of Fernando Torres shared with Esquire magazine in November 2011, 10 months after he joined Chelsea from Liverpool for a record £ 50 million and over 25 games in which the striker failed to score for club or country. Drought is typical of general malaise Torres endures throughout his stay at Stamford Bridge, one that has caused a lot of frustration and anger Abramovich considering the amount of time, energy and money spent to attract 28-year-old west London. Weighing that could replace Roberto Di Matteo as manager of Chelsea, perhaps unsurprisingly, Russia seems to have decided to turn to the man who has the most "El Niño".
- Benitez would be simplistic to believe that you can have the same amount of stardust Torres now given palpable lesions and resolution of confidence that the player has suffered since he and his compatriot had spent together - Chelsea and should succeed in their search for Didier Drogba, the Spanish international can find their chance to shine under Benitez limited anyway - but Abramovich surveys Torres beats blue, with a low point in Tuesday's loss to the Juventus during Di Matteo has decided to leave the striker on the bench instead of starting with Eden Hazard in advance, it may seem obvious to try one last time to revive the fortune of 50 million pounds.
some extent, Benitez was the victim of a campaign of propaganda and myth built around him after his rocky start in Liverpool in June 2010, as the club began to burn in the hands of Tom Hicks and George Gillett. He is portrayed as a bad manager of Liverpool after completing his seventh last season there, with critics forget his second place last season, and as someone with a registration failed in the transfer market, a statement that focuses on errors and conveniently forget the successes, as Xabi Alonso, Pepe Reina, Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel, Javier Mascherano and Torres.
reviews Benitez is just record. There are, for example, there is no doubt that it is a political animal whose desire for maximum control and could lead to schism in the club - Benitez is the man who hated Hicks always aligned with the Texan for Civil War Anfield because I thought it would strengthen its position and lead, as he did, the departure of Rick Parry as CEO - which makes the decision Abramovich call the 52-year- old from hibernation in curious Wirral. For the owner of Chelsea proved that he was a man of strong opinions and little diplomacy and try to save the season Chelsea have chosen someone who sees the same person when you look in the mirror. Fireworks between the pair is virtually guaranteed.
But Benitez is a winner and has demonstrated its ability to make the best out of Torres, and while Abramovich expects Pep Guardiola decided Benitez is clearly a second-best option, go to the man. Benítez moving to Chelsea offers a return to high-level administration has been waiting since he left Inter.

Syria's rebels fear foreign jihadis in their midst
As Salafists seek to achieve final battle against the Shiites, an ancient village said: "They call to the seventh century '
early summer, Abu Ismail, a veteran of six seasons of al-Qaida, to the left of the insurgency still burns in his native Iraq and went to he believes to be the beginning of the Apocalypse.
guaranteed cash benefactor in northern Iraq Erbil, then went to an arms dealer in Anbar province, a desolate corner of the country that no longer one breakpoint for jihadists from Syria and now is a gateway for those going in the opposite direction.
"It was easy," he said in the living room of a house in the Syrian city of Aleppo. "The money was not a problem, nor the weapon, or motivation. It will be a great fight against the enemy. "
Aroundtanned 23 years, had three members of a Syrian rebel militia acting as your hosts. They looked at the floor as a young jihadist explained Quranic teachings were said to shape the coming battle. "Whatever the future," he said. "I care about today. Muhammad is the Messenger says there will be a battle between the Persians and the Sunni. And to come.
"When the regime falls, all those who fought against Muslims will be my enemy, particularly the Shiites," he said, reiterating a view shared by some extremist Sunnis that Shiites are their greatest enemies.
hosts trembling, avoiding eye contact. The stranger in their midst had sought refuge among them two months ago. Since then had rented a house, won a trip to the combat zone when he wants and has won the support of some of the rebel units in the region.
Even won a coveted award:. The right to marry the daughter of a cousin of the fighter, a union which took place on Thursday with the blessing of qualified residents and clerics
Not everyone in the unit was happy with the marriage. "Are you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours," said a young rebel, Abu Saif. "It is a Salafist, no doubt about it," he added, referring to the ultra-fundamentalist school of thought Koran. "And it is not what we believe."
discuss with the uncle of the girl without a name, a young man who was sitting nearby, Abu Saif said. "Tell me what are the benefits we derive from it, or that your family receives" The guy shrugged without giving an answer.
As Syrian civil war grinds inexorably become so much a clash of ideologies as a military battle of wills. The first lines were hastily carved ancient stone heart of Aleppo and the suburbs of concrete during sunny summer days, now seems almost secondary in the contest to determine the kind of society that will one day stand on ruins.
For the most part, the opposition remains faithful to the spirit that has led to many cities and citizens to use control state President Bashar al-Assad on their lives. But around the periphery, there are indications that the original values ??of the revolution began to unravel. The story of a street facing a difficult condition drastically, so simple in March 2011, is now much more complicated.
"We got exactly what Tunisia and Egypt," said Mahmoud Razak, a trader in the suburbs. "The freedom and the opportunity to progress in life. But we thought that it would take 19 days as it did [in Egypt]. Now, 19 months. Knew it would not be too hard. "
For those who now hosts Abu Ismael, the Iraqi jihadist embodies one of the main problems. While men more conservative and pious in this part of Aleppo refuse to see the crisis that now consumes Syria in existential terms. For them, it is always a struggle for self-determination, not a place of confrontation with an enemy apocalyptic predestined.
- Abu Ismael has not hidden his desire to Syria to be at the heart of a renewed al-Qaida directed. In addition, exceptionally, hiding what he did in Iraq, or what he wanted to do in the new war. In a frank discussion about an hour, offered a rare glimpse into the design of the terrorist group in Syria and packed battle to assert the organization. "I was a member of the 2005-11 al-Qaeda," he said, his dark eyes in a steady gaze. "I joined with my father when I was 16 years old and apart from a and a half months in prison, I was very active in all directions. "
"There are about 50 Iraqis in every region of northern Syria. Maybe more. Is not it hard to get here, and it is difficult to find another mujahideen. We can fight where we want and when I want. Y God willing we will prevail. "
agitated Your hosts were not so sure. Bound by social mores that provide shelter and hospitality walkers, the rebel unit seemed to realize that the problems brewing between them and the global jihadist group growing. Numerous rebel groups The Guardian spoke this week, said a looming confrontation with newcomers.

The inexorable rise of open access scientific publishing | Stephen Curry
A new study shows that the increase in open access publishing of research is faster than had been done before
Read:. Academic Edition is changing faster than anyone realized, according to a new study reported today in the journal BMC Medicine
Before 2000, the vast majority of research articles published in journals that can be read by academics they - or their university libraries - paid subscription. However, since the turn of the millennium, the growth of the World Wide Web has been accompanied by the emergence of open access publishing, if the search is made freely available online. According to results released today by Laasko and Björk, more than half of the research articles * may be freely available.
Gameacademic publishing has changed irrevocably.
The change does not mean that scholars have adopted the free-for-all mentality that file sharing is the bug bear of the music industry. Instead, it reflects the spirit of deep amateur scholars, who have always seen the work of production and discuss the results of the research as part of the task.
While the dissemination of this research was based on the printing and distribution of scholarly journals, the subscription model editors was a sensible way to manage this business. But the possibilities offered by the web to the instantaneous distribution merged with the principle that publicly funded research should be freely available and promoted open access movement to the forefront of academic publishing. Flight physical limitations of the print edition should also help us understand the value of much more profitable in the central part of the research enterprise.
Improvement of open access has been hampered by opposition from some publishers who see a threat to a lucrative subscription model, and some sectors of the community researchers fear cast by overboard a set process in journals known. Scientists may have invented the Internet, but some remain suspicious of his character and detrimental to browse.
others, like me, are more optimistic about the promise of open access, as did the British government. In July this year, the Minister of Science David Willetts has warmly welcomed the report of the working group chaired by Dame Janet Finch on how to increase access to public research. The Government believes that open access as a means to accelerate the free distribution of scientific results, not only for researchers but also for companies that want to innovate new technologies, and as a necessary mechanism for the development of new text based computer methods and data mining to examine research results with a width and depth that no individual could hope to match.
Finch- policy is not without its critics, many of whom are concerned about the financial implications, since the new policy has a strong preference to facilitate open access publishers charge by paying "processing Item" ( APC) to ensure that the paper is available free on the publication (or access openly). The cost estimates are uncertain, but may be as high as £ 60m per year, which will come from the budget of the research, a sensitive point with researchers in these times of austerity.
They should be encouraged to explore Björk Laasko who, precisely, is published in an open access journal. Finnish researchers have found not only that nearly 17% of the research in the world are published in open access journals, a figure that is two to three times higher than previously thought, but that the exponential increase in open access publications shows no sign of slowing down.
the UK, with about 35% of the items should be available in the repositories by bank transfer - Parkway - the total percentage of documents open access (52% *) seems to have crossed the halfway mark.
Whatever the difficulties that universities and researchers may encounter in implementing the new RCUK policy, it is clear that there is no turning back. We look forward to a future in which there is free access to research results, both for researchers, businesses and the general public. The only question now is what can we do?

iCancer: closing the net around cancer by getting the public involved | Stephen Curry
iCancer campaign used social media to raise funds for a Swedish laboratory to develop its new therapy, but it raises important questions about public participation in funding decisions
How should the public be involved in the decision to fund scientific research? Directly, this is the answer that offers a new campaign that aims to harness the power of social media to develop a treatment for cancer.
iCancer The campaign, created by the author Alexander Masters, aims to raise funds from the public for research on a new treatment for neuroendocrine tumors (NET) - The body of the gland cancer that release hormones under control of the nervous system. NET are difficult to treat because patients often have symptoms only after the cancer has reached a relatively late stage and began to spread to other parts of the body. Cancer that killed Steve Jobs, the charismatic founder and visionary of Apple, a year ago.
campaign not starting from scratch as a new type of therapy for NET is currently being developed in the laboratory of Professor Magnus Essand. iCancer specific objective is to help Swedish scientists go beyond what has hitherto been an insurmountable obstacle: the increase of £ 2m needed for clinical trials in human patients
In a multiple approach would surely win the admiration of Apple design chief Jonathan Ive research group Essand adenovirus intelligently redesigned itself a disease agent in the therapy. Your modified virus that normally causes colds, suggests rather NET cells for destruction.
litany of tricks design is impressive. Swedish researchers modified the surface of the virus particle to help drag beyond the patient's immune system and improve their ability to find and infect tumor cells. Other genetic changes suppressed viral replication in tumor cells and reproduction increased in tumor cells. Adenovirus infection disrupts tumor cells, a strategy to kill with a double whammy because the content published dead cells stimulate the immune system to bind to tumor cells.
Essandmodified virus was successful in mice, but is now dormant in your laboratory freezer for lack of funds to begin clinical trials.
This is where the Masters Author Alexander discovered. When he learned that his friend and publisher of Dido Davies had been diagnosed with the disease, control drag the Internet for information on networks and eventually found its way to the laboratory of Professor Essand. Horrified that promising therapy has been hampered by the lack of a relatively small amount of money, joined with friends and another patient, Dominic Nutt NET to launch a campaign on the Internet, hosted on iCancer.org.uk Essand provide the money needed to perform the first clinical trials on the safety and efficacy of viral therapy.
- is a bold ambition and commendable. But the journey a successful experience in a university laboratory for therapy practice is long and costly. As highlighted in the Economist Mariana Mazzucato
- state enterprise
- , private companies and venture capital firms are often reluctant to invest in technologies that n ' not have a clear path to a profitable product, preferring public sector to bear the risk of early stage of development. Most countries, the United Kingdom, including total lack of effective mechanisms for interim financing necessary to obtain a science lab up with investors. A particular problem is that the adenovirus Essand Swedish government does not fund human clinical trials.
iCancer approach appealed to the public, but despite the scientific arguments presented clearly and without hyperbole on the campaign website, do not necessarily have the details of a finance committee large field application required.
Where is the balance? E-mail exchange and my reading of the literature, it is clear that sniper Essand the teacher, but has used this funding mechanism for the extraordinary absence of an alternative mechanism for fundraising this scale clinical trials. The organizers obvious passion and the fate of patients with human sympathy call NET base. Who does not want the campaign to be a success?
Some of my learned colleagues preservatives may nod to the output of "protocol", but the experimenter in me a great interest in the campaign to achieve its objectives, the curiosity to see how they can disrupt funding landscape and the relationship between scientists and the general public. The organizers are also experimenting and discovering. The campaign is realistic about the prospects for success of the experimental therapy - is far from a given - but it also has a charming innocence.

Revolt in Syria by Stephen Starr - review
Ian Black on two accounts of the bloodiest chapter of the Arab revolt
will soon be the second anniversary of the events that are still known as the Arab Spring, but still do not know the meaning of what happened or the result of the bloodiest chapter of agitation, played in the daily chaos and misery across Syria.
Diet
Bashar al-Assad, who seemed to be one of the most stable Arab dictatorships, has undoubtedly been deeply shaken - not only because it is estimated that 25,000 people have already found dead. However, it is possible that Assad still rebellious follow in the footsteps of his father, Hafez, which killed as many or more in Hama in 1982, in the pre-YouTube, but he lived another 17 years before dying peacefully in his bed?
Stephen Starr provides a partial answer in his vivid account of the first months of the uprising. The book is also a fascinating account of how a young journalist based in Damascus, who had struggled to interest publishers and now he was in the right place at the right time, able to work under dangerous circumstances. It was fortunate that the Irish financial newspaper was erected a paywall accredited to the Ministry of Information to read their stories online.
significantly Syria was a different case of Egypt and Tunisia, where the army was quickly on the side of the revolution, and Libya, where a united opposition consolidated its base in Benghazi and won the Western support that led to NATO intervention, and finally, the violent death of Gaddafi. But Syria was one essential thing in common with other countries affected by Arab Spring Fever 2011: he had a sense - Tocqueville identified as a "revolution of rising expectations" - living under a brutal authoritarian instincts were more tolerable .
The spark was lit in the southern city of Deraa, where anti-regime graffiti school daubed on the walls were arrested and beaten and had their nails pulled out by the Mukhabarat secret police. This provoked a reaction from abuse challenge. A few days after Al-Jazeera, a key player in this drama was broadcast pictures of a statue of Hafez be demolished - Saddam style - that dozens lay dead in the streets. State media, of course, did not report. But Starr began receiving calls asking him to communicate with horror cover the event. It was, he said, "hard to believe".
- These origins are to be retained because the memories have faded. In these days of discussion about Western intervention in Syria, opposition divisions, role of jihadist and why the Saudis and Qataris to arm the rebels. Too often, ordinary Syrians are stripped of any organization, portrayed as pawns in a geopolitical game.
- Force
Assad and his entourage, Starr predicted, "will not negotiate because the concept is alien to them in their daily lives ... The scheme introduced a way to run both in itself and in the world. was not giving up an inch of Syrian territory. " Travel
Assad at this point is discussed by Lesch American scholar David Syria: The Fall of the House of Assad
(Yale, £ 18.99), including the brutal conclusion is explained in the title of his book. By his own admission, was one of the observers in Syria, in the early noughties, believed that Western-trained ophthalmologist and computer geek with a sexy woman, born in London and a taste for the music of Phil Collins was a true reformer, who was arrested by the hardline Hafez era.
