Psy 'Gangnam Style' with Ban Ki Moon

Psy taught the "Gangnam Style" moves to the Chief of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday during a meeting with South Korean rapper Psy in New York City and it was all captured on video.

Ban Ki-moon joked with reporters about being jealous of Psy.

"I'm a bit jealous," Ban told reporters. "Until two days ago someone told me I am the most famous Korean in the world. Now I have to relinquish."

"We have a tough negotiations in the United Nations. In such a case I was also thinking of playing 'Gangnam Style' dance so that everybody would stop and dance, maybe you can bring U.N. style," he said.

Ban Ki-moon posed with Psy for pictures imitating Psy's landmark horse dance, made famous in the song. However, the U.N. Chief did not attempt to dance the entire choreography.

"I know that you are here to see me dance but don't worry - I cannot even imitate your movement," Ban said.

The "Gangnam Style" music video has been viewed more than 530 million views on YouTube since it was posted by Psy in mid-July.

The hit launched Psy career overseas as he appeared in numerous TV shows and big music events in the United States.

Mr. Ban Ki-moon also met with Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner, who jumped from the edge of space earlier this month breaking the speed of sound in an unprecedented free fall witnessed from people from all around the world.

Preview: NK Maribor vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Europa League Group J


No Slovenian club has ever come out on top against a team from England. 

If Tottenham Hotspur are to avoid becoming the first club to fall when they travel to NK Maribor tomorrow evening in the Europa League, they will have to do so without the services of Gareth Bale. 

Reports have claimed that the Welsh international will be given time off because his partner has just given birth to their first child. 

Should Bale be omitted, young winger Andros Townsend is expected to deputise in his place.

Emmanuel Adebayor is also in contention following a spell on the bench behind England international Jermain Defoe. 

Meanwhile, defender Jovan Vidovic will play no part for Maribor as he is suspended. 

Recent form

Manutd Vs Braga Preview

                                                            Old Trafford - Manchester 23/10/2012  (01:45 local time)                                                   

                                                                                     Group stage - Group H

United
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson
For me, Braga are better away from home and they proved that with their 2-0 win at Galatasaray. So, once again it looks like counterattacking football will play a big part, which we also saw in our first game here against Galatasaray. They caused us problems but we managed to hold out until half-time and took a hold of the game in the second period. I'll be leaving out Rio [Ferdinand] and Patrice Evra, and a couple of the older players, in light of the game on Sunday [against Chelsea FC].

We've had some success with a [midfield] diamond recently, while at this club we've always had a tradition of playing with wide players. We've got Ashley Young back, Nani, [Antonio] Valencia and [Ryan] Giggs, who are all wide players, while we've got plenty of options in central midfield too.

We actually rested players on Saturday like [Shinji] Kagawa and [Tom] Cleverley, both who've been playing very well – so I wouldn't say we're underestimating Braga at all. I think the level of the game in England and Europe is so high now, that making yourself unpredictable can be a strength. When it comes to United, teams will now have to think: 'Are they going to play with two out wide? Or with a midfield diamond?' With players like Kagawa, Cleverley and Giggs, they can give us that flexibility.

Team news

Nemanja Vidić remains sidelined with a knee injury, but Ashley Young is back from knee injury.

Braga
Coach José Peseiro
Sir Alex Ferguson praised Braga very highly only a few days ago, so he doesn't underestimate us. He's got an excellent squad with plenty of talent to choose from, while he also said earlier today that he rested players especially for this game. They're one of the best teams in the world and don't tend to suffer much when they make changes, so it'll be very tough whoever they put out.

We've got good players and a good team too, so we're going to be trying to win. But if we can't win then a draw is a good result too. We'll need to defend well, try and keep hold of the ball and keep believing we are capable of winning. Of course, we don't have the same resources as United, but I have complete faith in the players I've got. It doesn't do the coach or players any good at all if you start thinking any other way.

Any praise from someone like Alex Ferguson is fantastic, but our players won't need any extra motivation – they'll get more than enough when playing in a stadium like this.

I spent a fortnight here when Carlos Queiroz was here and I spoke to Alex about Nani, because I think at the time he was trying to decide who to sign between Yuri Zhirkov and Nani. We spoke about him three or four times and later United invited me to the 2008 Champions League final in Moscow, as Queiroz told me they appreciated that I'd given them good information about Nani.

Team news
Douglão, Djamal and Paulo César have all stayed in Portugal due to injury. Ismaily and Ruben Amorim faced fitness tests in Monday's training session, while Alan is a doubt after only recently returning from injury.

Match fact
United have never lost at home to Portuguese opponents but Peseiro's Braga are on a seven-match unbeaten sequence on their travels in Europe, and are unbeaten in five games against English clubs.

23:00 FC Spartak Moscow v SL Benfica 

01:45 Manchester United v SC Braga

King-Father Norodom Sihanouk Repatriation

                           

                      The  Video  King-Father Norodom Sihanouk Repatriation from Beijing to Phnom Penh-2012-10-17 ( TVK)

Cambodia's former king Norodom Sihanouk died of natural causes at the age of 90 in Beijing, China.Born on Oct 31, 1922, Norodom Sihanouk reigned Cambodia from 1941 to 1955 and again from 1993 until his voluntary abdication on Oct 7, 2004 in favour of his son, the current King Norodom Sihamoni.

Sihanouk is the son of King Norodom Suramarit and Queen Sisowath Kossamak. During his life time, he had held many positions since 1941, including two terms as the king, two as sovereign prince, one as president, two as prime minister, and one as Cambodia's non-titled head of state.

He was named the Father of Independence, Territorial Integrity and Khmer Unification. Sihanouk's actual period of effective rule over Cambodia was from Nov 9, 1953, when France granted independence to Cambodia, until March 18, 1970, when Lon Nol and the National Assembly deposed him.

After the country fully gained independence from France on March 2, 1955, Sihanouk abdicated in favour of his father, established the Sangkum Reasniyum regime and took the post of prime minister a few months later, after having obtained an overwhelming victory in the parliamentary elections in September 1955.

His second coronation was made on Sept 24, 1993; he abdicated the throne second time on Oct 7, 2004 due to ill health.

On March 18, 1970, while Sihanouk was out of the country, the then Prime Minister Lon Nol convened the National Assembly, which voted to depose Sihanouk as head of state. After he was deposed, Sihanouk fled to Beijing.

During Lon Nol's regime (Khmer Republic), Sihanouk mostly lived in exile in the North Korea.

Prince Sihanouk returned to Cambodia on Nov 14, 1991 after thirteen years in exile. In 1993, Sihanouk once again became King of Cambodia. However, he suffered from ill health and travelled repeatedly to Beijing for medical treatment.

Tottenham 2 : 4 Chelsea

 Chelsea's Gary Cahill would put the Blues up early with a 17th minute screamer and Roberto Di Matteo's side took a promising 1-0 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Just seconds into the second half, William Gallas would equalize for the home squad before Jermain Defoe put Spurs ahead 2-1 with a brilliant finish inside the box past Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech. After a few minutes of scoreless football, Chelsea's Juan Mata would take over for the visiting Blues.

Mata scored in the 66th and 69th minute to bring Chelsea level, and then put them ahead 3-2. Daniel Sturridge would add a late goal to clinch the result for Di Matteo's club. The 4-2 result was Chelsea's fourth consecutive win in Premier League play and signaled the end of a four-match EPL winning streak for Tottenham.
