Three years wearing the national colours and 31 senior caps later, Reggae Boyz defensive hardman Adrian Mariappa says he is ready to quell any threat posed by Central American opponents Nicaragua tomorrow at the National Stadium.The teams will clash in the first leg of their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.”I can’t wait. It’s been a long time, so hopefully, a lot of fans will come out and support us, ’cause we’ve done well in the Gold Cup, so we are all eager to do well and we are all just gearing up for Friday,” he reasoned.Of Central American opponents Nicaragua, he expects a tough challenge, given that they arrive in Jamaica unbeaten this year. They outclassed Caribbean hopefuls Anguilla 8-0 and Suriname 4-1 on aggregate, respectively, in rounds one and two of qualifiers.”It’s always gonna be a tough game. At the end of the day, they (Nicaragua) will be trying to win. They may not be as well known as a Costa Rica, but we have got two games against them, and at the end of the day, they will be trying to win the game and go through to the last stage of the qualifiers as well,” warned Mariappa.”We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to win games. We’ve always believed in ourselves, and going into the qualifiers, we know we are capable of making it to the World Cup. We’ll just take it game by game, and we look to get through this round,” he added. “We are very confident we can make it.”Patrons will have a special opportunity to support the Reggae Boyz in their return fixture next Tuesday against Nicaragua as a result of a charter organised by the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF).The charter will leave Jamaica on Tuesday, September 8, at 1 p.m., arrive in Managua at 2 p.m., and depart to Jamaica on September 9 at 6 a.m.The game will be played at the Estadio Nacional de F?tbol de Nicaragua, which has a capacity of 20,000, and match time is 7:30 p.m.The cost per person is US$650, and this covers airfare, taxes, ground transportation, and match ticket.Interested persons who want to cheer on the Reggae Boyz in Nicaragua can call the JFF offices at 926-1182 or email jamff@hotmail.com or jffroseb@hotmail.com immediately. Payments are due before departure.

Mauricio Pochettino will give Alex Pritchard the chance to make his mark for Tottenham next season.The 22-year-old midfielder starred on loan at Brentford last season, scoring 12 goals in 45 appearances for the Championship club.Outgoing Bees boss Mark Warburton has tipped Prichard as a future Premier League star, and Pochettino has now confirmed he sees the England Under-21 international as part of his plans.Harry Kane, Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb all have come through the academy to become regular first-teamers for Spurs in recent season, and Pritchard is in line to follow their lead.“He is in our plans for next season,” Pochettino said.“He starts pre-season when he gets back from the (Under-21) Euros and we are looking forward to having him back after a successful loan with Brentford.” 1 Alex Pritchard 
Payroll emergency Re “L.A.’s taxation `emergency”‘ (Oct. 17): If the voters rightly reject the phony taxation emergency measure in February, the City Council and mayor should put on the ballot a measure reducing their payroll by a few percent. After all, the pay scales were agreed to upon the assumption that there would be money to pay for it. To forestall layoffs when in dire straits, businesses would ask their employees to participate in the pain, not their customers. It appears also that the city knew about the potential loss of telephone tax revenue while they were negotiating the latest labor contracts with the unions. This once again shows a complete failure of responsible stewardship and planning by our bloated officials. – Michael N. Cohen Reseda City matters Re “Council supports pullout from Iraq” (Oct. 17): Wendy Greuel is my Los Angeles city councilwoman and it occurred to me that she has been elected to conduct business by and for citizens of Los Angeles on matters related to the city. The last time I checked, the City Council of Los Angeles was not in charge of decisions made about troop deployment. Greuel certainly did not represent me with this action. It would be nice if she would work on matters directly connected with the city of Los Angeles. God knows the DWP needs supervision and there are a jillion other matters that need attention in the city. I’m disappointed with all the council members who want to work at the federal level instead of finishing needed business here at the local level. – Mike Boehret Sun Valley Our responsibility Re “Paying to play” (Our Opinions, Oct. 8): I’ve been with LAUSD for 36 years and neither I nor the district has lost sight of our responsibility to the children and the community. No one wants to derail sports activities for poorer kids. These groups use the facilities and the schools receive little or no funds to clean/refurbish the grounds/gym. Yes, gang funds would help us. The charge of $3.8million for the youth groups’ use of the facilities would help ensure some maintenance of the facilities, which are used daily by great, poor youngsters. – Alan Scher Assistant principal Byrd Middle School, Sun Valley Leaving the scene Re “Truckers leave loving families” (Oct. 16): It troubles me that as of Tuesday morning, nine of 31 drivers have not come forward to describe their part in the horrible tunnel fire and crash on Friday. Almost one-third of the drivers involved apparently have a reason not to be identified. Unlicensed, no permit, no insurance, or illegal immigrant – these are a sampling of our state’s truck drivers. It sure could be a wake-up call to our politicians and law enforcement to at least enforce existing laws. The signs read in English on all of our freeways – Autos with trailers – trucks – 55 mph. – Mark Hovland Palmdale Health care … First question: Do we want to have state or national health care?

Re “Sweetheart of a deal” (Oct. 18): L.A. City Councilman Ed Reyes said it best – “When you look at this city and all its needs, this is money that can be better spent.” Too bad he was talking about the war in Iraq and not about the new five-year salary deal with the six L.A. unions. – John Horn Granada Hills AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREGame Center: Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, 10 a.m. Council payroll I notice Councilman Dennis Zine has 18 people on his staff.

AD Quality Auto 360p 720p 1080p Top articles1/5READ MOREGame Center: Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday, 10 a.m.A forced withdrawal might take years to carry out, top FDA officials said. “We need to go back and review all these recommendations that we heard today and decide what the path forward might be,” Dr. John Jenkins, director of the FDA’s office of new drugs, said after the meeting. If the agency decides to adopt the committee’s recommendation, it must undertake a rule-making process that can “take anywhere from one to many years,” Jenkins said. While the panel voted 21-1 to ban over-the-counter pediatric cold products for use in children under 2, its vote to ban them for 2- to 5-year-olds was 13-9. The FDA usually follows the advice of its expert panels, but the closer the vote, the more likely the agency is to ignore it. Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, Baltimore’s commissioner of health and a co-author of a petition that led to the FDA’s review of the safety of the medicines, said drugmakers and the FDA should agree to a quick end to the marketing of cold medicines for children under 6. “After the advisory committee’s clear vote, there is no justification for formulations of these products geared at toddlers or depicting small children,” Sharfstein said. Whatever the outcome in the marketplace, the panel’s advice for parents was clear: They should not use over-the-counter cold medicines in young children. Jenkins’ own advice to parents was less forceful. “Parents as always should carefully follow directions,” Jenkins said. “They should pay close attention to ingredients to make sure they don’t use the same ingredients from multiple products.” The products under review include such common brand names as PediaCare, Robitussin and Triaminic, which are made, respectively, by Johnson & Johnson, Wyeth and Novartis. Some of these products are directly marketed for toddlers and other children under 6. Suydam told the panel that pediatric cold medicines are safe and effective, that many of the problems associated with the medicines come from unintentional overdoses and that an educational campaign could resolve most problems. The panel largely rejected these arguments, voting overwhelmingly that there is no evidence that over-the-counter pediatric cold medicines have any effect and that more studies must be done. Still, nine panel members voted against an outright ban in children ages 2 to 5, arguing that doctors and parents need something for ill children even if it has no proven effect. Amy J. Celento-Stamateris, a patient representative on the panel from Nutley, N.J., said she was worried that a ban would lead parents to give their children products intended for adults, increasing the risks of overdoses. “I’m not going to name names among my acquaintances, but people do use these medications to make their children get some sleep,” Celento-Stamateris said. But most panel members said if the drugs have not proved to be effective in young children, they should not be available. “Products for children under 2 were withdrawn from the market, and the world didn’t come to an end,” said Sean P. Hennessy, a panel member from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. There are about 800 pediatric cold products sold in the United States that use one or more of 39 different drugs. Parents spend around $500million every year buying nearly 95million boxes containing 3.8billion doses of medicine.160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! SILVER SPRING, Md. – A Food and Drug Administration panel of experts voted Friday to ban popular over-the-counter cold products intended for children under the age of 6. If put into practice, the vote could transform pharmacy shelves and change the way parents cope with the most common illness in young children. The vote comes a week after major manufacturers agreed to withdraw more than a dozen cold products labeled for use in infants and babies. But manufacturers said they would fight the new recommendations. “We believe these products will remain on the market,” said Linda Suydam, president of the Consumer Healthcare Products Association, an industry trade group.

Gareth Southgate has explained England should have come out of Tuesday’s game against France with a draw, and that their game management was to blame for the 3-2 defeat.Ousmane Dembele netted the winner just over 10 minutes from time as the 10 men Les Bleus downed the Three Lions at the Stade de France, after Harry Kane scored a brace either side of goals from Samuel Umtiti and Djibril Sidibe.After pulling level early in the second half through Kane’s penalty, it seemed Southgate’s side were on course to turn up the pressure and go on to claim a win.Raphael Varane was shown a straight red card in giving away the spot kick – awarded by a video assistant referee – but seeing France reduced to 10 men did little to spur England on.In fact, it was the hosts who started to dominate, and Dembele’s late winner was more than they deserved after a thrilling display of attacking football from the side with one fewer player.Southgate feels the Three Lions should have, as a minimum, held on for the draw in Paris, saying his players’ lack of game management was the reason for the defeat.Speaking to talkSPORT after the game, Southgate said: “I think the way we managed the period from 2-2, when France were down to 10 men, that was an opportunity to go on and win the game.“But minimum you should come out with the 2-2.“The best way to manage the game is to keep possession of the ball, make the opposition run, make sure we would be able to press because we’ve got a man extra.“But we didn’t manage that period of the game well.”Asked how he feels England have progressed in his eight-game spell as manager, and what still needs improving, Southgate again highlighted the need to manage the game as an area which must be worked on.“I think with the ball generally we are progressing,” he continued. “I mean we’ve given some poor passes away, and that cost us a goal at the end of the game today, but we are keeping the ball better, we are creating chances and looking a threat with the ball.“But what we’ve got to do is manage games better, and we are aware of that. In fact tonight, in that aspect, hasn’t told us something we didn’t know, but when you play a team of this quality – and they are one of the best in the world – they will expose any fragilities you have, and at the moment that’s a moment in the game when they go down to 10 where we’ve got to step forward and control those points in the game.”
“You have to be ready, you need a fantastic football team – which thank God I have – with outstanding character, ready to be really brave, ready to make mistakes. Then it can work.“That’s all we need to know. When somebody’s telling me, ‘Good luck for Sunday’, I think always, ‘Unfortunately, we need it’. But that’s no problem; if you work hard, you earn it.”Klopp was waiting to learn whether midfielder Naby Keita would be available after suffering a back spasm on Wednesday while forward Adam Lallana is back in full training following a groin problem. 3 REVEALED 3 huge blow Premier League Team of the Season so far, including Liverpool and Leicester stars He said: “After the game it felt much more clear they deserved to win than after the analysis. Yes they had more chances, we didn’t have a shot on target. In the last 15 minutes they had two big chances and scored a goal, they had moments more than we did.“But the crowd was in a lot of moments really unhappy with the Napoli performance. We defended in a lot of moments really good. With the ball, again the timing was not good because we felt under pressure when there was no pressure.“A lot of times it was really close that it could be good but there was no real perfect decision. Now we will have three days together until we play City and (we could) make the boys aware of what was all wrong.“But that would mean I forget completely how we played three days before against Chelsea, so we have to stay cool. That’s how it is. It’s not that you miss it overnight.

He had a back spasm so we have to wait a little bit.“He will be in today. If he can do something on the training ground, I don’t know. I spoke to the doc but we have to see him again then we will make a decision about that. It didn’t look too serious so he has a chance but we don’t know.”The performance in Naples was the first real disappointment of Liverpool’s season but Klopp believes it could be a positive when it comes to facing City.

We have to start anew. Different game, different opponent, different challenge – unfortunately even bigger challenge.“My faith in the team is so big. We want to show a reaction. I didn’t want to lose at Napoli but, if you ask me which is the best preparation mood wise, it’s losing a game. We felt it now and we don’t want to have that feeling again so we will fight with all we have for a different result.”If Liverpool need to restore any confidence, they need only look back at their last three games against City, all of which they won.Nearly half of all City’s defeats last season came against Klopp’s team, including in both legs of their Champions League quarter-final, while a 4-3 loss at Anfield ended their hopes of going a whole Premier League season unbeaten.Klopp has been described as Pep Guardiola’s nemesis but the German insisted there is no magic formula to beating City.He said: “Obviously we won the last three games against City. After none of these games you go into the dressing room and think, ‘Now we’ve got it, now we know how to beat Manchester City’, because there is no real way, no one thing that you have to do. silverware Green reveals how he confronted Sarri after Chelsea’s 6-0 defeat at Man City deals Oxlade-Chamberlain suffers another setback as Klopp confirms serious injury Liverpool are still unbeaten in the league but, after a brilliant start, are without a win in three games Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is hopeful Naby Keita could feature in Sunday’s Premier League clash with Manchester City.The 23-year-old was stretchered off with a back injury during Wednesday’s Champions League defeat at Napoli and underwent tests in hospital before flying back to Merseyside.

ATLANTA – After a century of nearly uninterrupted medical improvements and longer lives, it looks like the baby boomers could screw things up. A new government study shows deaths from heart disease, cancer and stroke continue to drop, but it also shows that half of Americans ages 55 to 64 – including the oldest of the baby boomers – have high blood pressure, and two in five are obese. This means that this large group of aging Americans is in worse shape in some respects than those born a decade earlier were when they were the same age. Medical improvements in coming years might offset these problems before they affect life expectancy, but there are no promises, health officials said. Still, health officials are trying to draw attention to unhealthy behavior, and this year chose to break out data on people 55 to 64. The 55-to-64 age group is expected to rise from 29 million Americans in 2004 to 40 million in 2014. That is because of the baby boom, the explosion of births during the prosperous postwar period between 1946 and 1964. The report looked back at data on people who were in the 55-to-64 bracket around the early 1990s – basically, people born in the 1930s. Researchers compared them to people in that age range today – essentially people born in the 1940s. “What happens to this group is very important because it’s going to affect every other group,” said Amy Bernstein of the National Center for Health Statistics, which put out the new report. Among other things, this group will be drawing on Social Security and Medicare, financed by U.S. taxpayers. The center found that rates of hypertension and obesity were higher for the current group of 55-to-64-year-olds. When the 1930s group was tested around 1990, 42 percent had high blood pressure. That compares with 50 percent for the 1940s group. The older group’s rate of obesity was 31 percent back then, compared with 39 percent for the 1940s babies now. Because of the advent of cholesterol-lowering drugs, the prevalence of high cholesterol actually went down, from 35 percent for the 1930s group to 23 percent among the 1940s babies. Also noted in the report: Infant mortality in 2003 dropped slightly to 6.9 deaths per 1,000 live births. Infant mortality has been on a general decline since 1958. Spending on health care rose 7.7 percent in 2003, to $1.7 trillion. Health expenditures as a percentage of gross domestic product rose to 15.3 percent in 2003, up from 14.9 percent in 2002. Prescription drugs were the fastest-growing expenditure. Spending on prescriptions rose 11 percent in 2003. Twenty-eight percent of all adults reported recent low back pain. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations!

Among the findings: Deaths from heart disease, cancer and stroke, the nation’s three leading killers, all dropped in 2003. They were down between 2 percent and 5 percent. Americans’ life expectancy also increased again. According to the government’s calculations, a child born in 2003 can expect to live 77.6 years on average, up from 77.3 the year before. In 1990, life expectancy was 75.4 years. U.S. life expectancy has been rising almost without interruption since 1900, thanks to several factors, including extraordinary advances in medicine and sanitation, and declines in some types of unhealthy behavior, such as smoking.
