Children who start school at four or five are assessed by their teachers during their first year, the "foundation stage".
The system, introduced by the Government last year, means teachers must assess each child three times in the course of the year, using a nine-point scale in each of six headings to describe their social, emotional and educational development.
Teachers say the so-called foundation stage "profile" is massively bureaucratic and tells parents little they did not know about their own children.
But at the annual conference of the National Union of Teachers today, delegates claimed the "score" generated for each five or six-year-old child could also be used by the Government as the basis for league tables at age seven - measuring progress during the first full year of infant school.
Delegates urged the conference to back a motion demanding the Government drop the foundation stage profile. If it refuses, they want the union to ballot members to refuse to fill it in.
Judy Evans, a teacher at Norcot Infants' School in Reading, said: "We should be looking at children's strengths and building on what they can do, rather than emphasising what they can't. That is what this scoring mechanism does."Reuse content

Reviews For 5-Day Healthy Detox Plan
Based on 8 Reviews
Excellent Recipes!
I like that this detox is only 5 days. Anyone can do 5 days! I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious most of these recipes are. I am continuing to use many of them. I also appreciate that I was not hungry during the diet. I did struggle at times with the extra time it took to prepare meals, but I will prep everything that I can ahead of time the next time.

Excellent Receipes
Buying my second book as a gift. I love the spice blends in the recipes, I hate boring food which these are not. Question on the Thrive detox tonic pg 29, states 1 serving which is a little over 8 oz. The portion for the moving drink is 24 oz. Is the 24 oz a misprint?
- Becky
Loved it!
I love this program! The food is good and it teaches you great combinations of food and supplements. It also inspires healthy fun eating after you are done. I will continue to make these recepies. I feel great!
- Danielle
Well Executed with Great Recipes and Photos!
Good book! I'm not a stranger to reading health/detox books, I thought this one was well written. Good for a beginner that doesn't know a lot, good for someone that has done the whole detox thing before. I have done several rounds of Whole 30 and have done Paleo (until I decided I needed that latte made with milk :0) and still got my moneys worth with the knowledge from the book and it's great recipes (and great photos for every recipe!). Yes, the recipes do take some time to cook and prepare, but it is a temporary detox - anyone can put in the effort for a few days to see some significant changes in their body (feeling great, more energy, clearer skin and perhaps shedding a few pounds!). I hope you give it a try, you won't regret it!
- Jenn
Delicious foods
I tried the 5 day detox and I'm still using some of the recipes for my meals now. Very healthy and delicious menu options.
- Michele
5 Day Detox
Great, tasty recipes. Takes extra time and planning, but well worth it.
- Cindy
Great Cleanse
The recipes are great! I was a little worried about a couple of the ones that seemed maybe overly spiced or a weird combination of spices (dill and cinnamon, really?) but they have all been wonderful! Way more flavorful and interesting than recipes from other cleanses. I also love that there is very little animal protein. My husband wants to know if there is a big cookbook with many more recipes. Let me know if you publish one! One thing I would recommend is a link to the shopping list for the items Thrive Market sells. It would have been nice to access the list without having the book with me.
- Melinda
Great little book!
I loved nearly all the recipes in this book, I even ended up trying things I didn't think I'd like and did! There is a fair amount of prep/cook time each day, but felt really good eating like this.

Hello....first thing you should know is- infertility means unable to concieve even after one year of unprotected regular Sex. If that's the case it may be due to numerous causes, in womens- it might be due to uterine abnormality,hormonal imbalance, fibroid in uterus,sometimes infection like T.B would have scarred fallopian tube which might be a cause,certain medications, obesity etc. In men- decreased sperm count, chronic alcoholism,smoking,obesity,premature ejaculation,medications, testicular infection or trauma etc....so get this things checked. You should know that there are 20 to 25% cases where the cause is unknown for infertility....As I already mentioned if you are not concieving for more than one year, you can try invitro fertilisation(IVF) technique which has a good success rate....kindly consult nearest infertility specialist regarding this they will guide you further.

The good news: the developers at Epic Games have already retired their hard hats and claim that the basic game is complete. They'll spend up to a year spit-shining the environments and balancing the gameplay. While many other developers are building their next-gen games with Epic's top-drawer Unreal 3.0 engine, the muscle behind UT2007, which speaks well for the game's potential.
Once you see UT2007, there may be no going back. Start saying goodbye to the last generation of games now, and make sure you have an HDTV by the time this one comes out. UT2007 is on track to scorch eyeballs this fall.

Nick Saban on the Hot Seat?
- Updated: April 21, 2014
Alabama head coach Nick Saban didn't win a national championship last season. But is that enough to place the highly successful coach on the hot seat?
To a sane person no, that is not enough for Saban to be placed on the hot seat. But whoever accused the Alabama fan base of being sane. Aren't the words "sane" and "Alabama football fan" mutually exclusive?
A nationally known website has Nick Saban listed as #5 on their coaches hot seat ranking. Is that tongue-in-cheek,or a slap at Alabama fans? Or is there an inordinate amount of pressure on Saban to win this season, particularly after losing to Auburn?
Coacheshotseat.com has been tracking which college football coaches are on t he hot seat for years. Lot of fans check in regularly to see if their head coach has made the top 25.
Saban isn't the only SEC head football coach in the top 10. Florida's head man, Will Muschamp, is ranked #1 and Arkansas' Bret Bielema is #6.

HTC Wildfire
HTC Wildfire Android Smartphone :
HTC Mobile, a global designer of smartphones, introduced HTC Wildfire, a new HTC Sense-based Android cell phone that integrates the most popular social networks to help bring your friends closer to you. The HTC Wildfire Smartphone closely follows the success of the acclaimed HTC Desire handset and makes the company's signature HTC Sense experience accessible to a younger audience. Thanks to a new app sharing widget, HTC Wildfire enables you to recommend an application by email, text message or over social networks. Your friends will receive a link allowing them to find the software application on the Android Market with a single click and download it to their phone.
HTC Wildfire Smartphone
The HTC Wildfire mobile phone helps you stay connected with those who are most important to you through HTC Sense, a user experience focused on putting people at the centre by making phones work in a more simple and natural way. You won't miss out on the fun as HTC's Friend Stream application seamlessly gathers and displays content from social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr into one organised stream of updates. The new HTC Wildfire Smartphone enables you to stay up to date with your friends' posts, comments, alerts and photos, wherever you are.
HTC Wildfire features
In addition, each contact viewed in HTC Wildfire's address book includes a thread of recent communications with that person, including when you last spoke, recent text messages and emails, and social network updates. When your friend calls, HTC Caller ID displays their Facebook profile photo and latest update, as well as a reminder if their birthday is fast approaching. HTC's latest advanced smartphone is great for viewing and sharing photos on Flickr and for surfing the internet thanks to its 3.2-inch capacitive touch screen. A 5 megapixel digital camera with auto focus and LED flash allows you to capture special moments, while a 3.5mm audio jack and micro SD memory card slot mean you are never without your favourite songs.
HTC Wildfire
"Today's social networks provide an essential forum for friendship with more than 400 million users* - many of whom are young adults - actively sharing their lives with their friends through Facebook," said Florian Seiche, Vice President, HTC EMEA. "HTC Wildfire makes the HTC Sense experience available to young mobile users for the first time. It brings all your communications into one place, whether it's through Facebook, Twitter, text messages, images or email, ensuring that you are never far away from the conversation and always close to your friends."
HTC Wildfire software applications
Florian Seiche continued, "We understand that people need a better way to navigate their way through the tens of thousands of applications that are currently available on the Android Market. In fact, our own independent research found that consumers are not only hungry for the latest and most popular applications that their friends are using, they want an easier way to find and download them. For the first time ever, you can recommend the newest and coolest apps to a friend or group of friends with HTC Wildfire. With so many software applications to choose from, there's a world of content to discover and pass along to your friends."
HTC Wildfire review availability
The new HTC Wildfire cell phone will be broadly available to customers across major European and Asian markets from Q3 2010. As soon as we receive a HTC Wildfire test sample, we will publish a photo gallery with high resolution pictures, followed by an extensive HTC Wildfire review.

You see…
i have a real love
a love that hurts when they're gone
that kind of love you can't breathe without
and, you see…
I fell on accident
i didn't mean for it to happen
i didn't know the power she would hold over me
the feeling she would bring
the longing that now pulls in my chest
and, you see…
She feels it too
she loves me back
needs me and wants me just as much
she fell with me
and, you see…
she blames me
says i'm perfect
tells me i'm beautiful
describes each detail she loves about me
from "head to toe"
yet, you see...
this is all true about her
her eyes
her beauty
her "head to toe"
its all perfect
can't you see…
i love her
and she loves me
so what's the problem?
can't you see…
we're judged for who we are
we're pushed aside
cast away
bullied and betrayed by friends
because of our love
Why don't you see…
the pain you bring
your words that are like swords
that get through our barriers
no matter how strong we build them
don't you see!
the lives you've ruined before us
the lives you've stepped on
the lives you've taken
why won't you see
that when you say we're different
that you're putting yourself down
i don't want to be the same as you
all you do is hurt
won't you see
you're the reason for so much misery
you're words are the things that push people to their breaking point
because you see
you don't see
you can't see
you won't see
all the damage you've done
all the things you're words have broken
and still you refuse to see the world evolving around you
the choices people make
to act on, rather hide, their feelings
and you're cruel and heartless
and you just keep going till everything and everyone who is different
ceases to exist
why don't you see
why can't you see
why won't you see
the things you're doing to me
the effects you have on my love
the fear you strike through us both
and the hatred thats aimed directly at you
please see…

It should not be a crime to belong to an organisation such as Islamic State or al-Qaeda, the leader of the Green party Natalie Bennett has said, because people should not be punished for what they think.
But Ms Bennett insisted that people who incite or support acts of violence "should be pursued to the full extent of the law", when speaking on BBC1's Sunday Politics show.
Green party policy states that "it should not be a crime simply to belong to an organisation or have sympathy with its aims, though it should be a crime to aid and abet criminal acts or deliberately fund such acts".
Policies: Where the Greens stand on the major issues
Policies: Where the Greens stand on the major issues
1/13 Taxes
Wealth tax of up to 2 per cent on the assets of 300,000 people who are worth more than £3m, the country's richest 1 per cent
2/13 Wages
National minimum wage to be lifted to living-wage levels and to reach £10 an hour by 2020. Would also "curb boardroom excesses" by linking salaries at the top of companies to pay at the bottom
3/13 Pensions
End pensioner poverty by introducing a weekly "citizen's pension" of £170 for a single person and £300 for a couple
4/13 Energy
Targets and timetables for improving efficiency and reducing greenhouse-gas emissions across all sectors. Wants electricity use to be reduced by a third by 2020, by half by 2030 and two-thirds by 2050
5/13 Health
Accuses Labour and Tory governments of introducing privatisation by stealth into the NHS. Pledges to "maintain a publicly funded, publicly provided health service"
Getty Images
6/13 Education
Money would be allocated to schools according to their needs rather than their status. Schools which remain in the private sector would be classed as businesses, have all charitable status removed and pay taxes
7/13 Railways
Bring railway network back into public hands as franchises expire or if companies break the terms of their agreements
8/13 Immigration
Rules would be "based on the principle of fair and prompt treatment of applicants rather than on excluding dishonest applicants whatever the cost to the honest ones"
Getty Images
9/13 Food
Minimise transport of food and other agricultural products by supporting local food distribution and pressing for transport costs, especially air freight, to fully reflect environmental impact
Creative Commons
10/13 Farming
Phase out all "factory farming" and support a transition to small, free-range units, mixed rotational farming and extensive grazing. Would ban battery farming of poultry
11/13 Genetic engineering
Moratorium on the release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the environment and on the importation of food and feed containing GMOs, pending comprehensive assessment of the technology's safety
12/13 Cannabis
Possession, trade and cultivation of cannabis would be immediately decriminalised. Trade in cannabis would be examined by a Royal Commission, with a view to establishing a fully legalised and regulated trade
13/13 Housing
Reform housing benefit to give greater help to poorer tenants and to prevent eviction or repossession of either private tenants or homeowners
MS Bennett was challenged about the policy on the show and asked whether the party would make it legal for people living in Britain to join brutal terrorist groups such as Islamic State (also known as Isis).
UK terrorism laws currently state that belonging to any of the identified terrorist organisations, such as al-Qaeda or Isis or the IRA, or appearing to support them, is illegal.
Defending Green party policy, Ms Bennett said: "What we want to do is make sure we are not punishing people for what they think or what they believe.
"Obviously actions of inciting violence, supporting violence, those are absolutely unacceptable, illegal and should be pursued to the full extent of the law."
She added: "What we are talking about is a principle that you shouldn't be punished for what you think. And we need to balance, we do not protect freedom by destroying it."
Ms Bennett said it was important for the Government to defend free speech, adding that legislation which makes people's memberships of specific organisations was outdated.
"This is part of our policy that I think dates back to the age of the ANC and apartheid South Africa," she said.
Ms Bennett's comments follow her strong stance on the abolition of the monarchy, and her views that the Queen should be evicted from Buckingham Palace and moved into a council house – while the party would build more social housing for people in the UK.
Ms Bennett, who said she will represent her party in two televised leaders debates under the proposals set out by broadcasters, also said the Green party would reshape the military to create a smaller home defence force and progressively ease immigration controls while on the show.

The investigators would like to study the role of phosphorus metabolism in the development of certain hormonal problems in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). More specifically, the goals of the research are (1) to understand the cause of hyperparathyroidism - a hormone problem that often develops in patients who have kidney disease and (2) to test whether decreasing phosphorus intake could help improve or prevent hyperparathyroidism.

Institutt for klinisk medisin
Akershus University Hospital introduced Information and Communication Techno-logy (ICT) to its radiology department in 2005. Both images and reports were stored and communicated electronically instead of as printed film and paper. The images and reports were also made available to clinicians directly from the Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
The objective of this study was to retrospectively assess whether the introduction of ICT improved diagnostic imaging and health care. The objective was addressed by investigating whether the introduction of ICT made radiology reports available sooner to clinicians, whether they read them sooner, whether this had an impact on the length of patient hospital stay, and whether any improvement in reporting was achieved without reducing the diagnostic accuracy.
The basic design of this study was a before-after study using two cross-sectional data collections. The establishment of hypotheses was in part assisted by a data splitting method. Most analyses were based on data retrieved retrospectively from the hospital infor-mation systems; the Radiology Information System (RIS), The Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) and the EPR. These data were partly recorded by health care professionals as part of their daily work, and partly created by automatic logging of their activities. Person-identifiable attributes were removed for both pa-tients and health care professionals before the statistical analysis. Supplementary data was collected manually from work lists and routine descriptions. Diagnostic accuracy was addressed by comparing a retrospective classification of lesions reported in the original reports with lesions identified in an independent re-analysis of the images. The data were analysed using the two-sided non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-test for ordinal and the T- test for nominal data.
The median report turnaround time (RTAT) – the time from the images were acquired until they were reported - was initially reduced by 84% for the preliminary version and by 44% for the final version of the reports. Over the observation period, the me-dian RTAT increased slightly for preliminary reports, and was reversed almost back to the pre-ICT level for final reports. However, the percentage of preliminary reports available for the clinical afternoon round increased over the observation period. Radi-ologists used the flexibility of the system to give priority to preliminary ultrasound (US) and all Computed Tomography (CT) reports. Both preliminary and final reports were immediately sent to the EPR. The median time until the final reports were opened by a clinician was 2.8 to 3.9 hours. The use of final reports did not vary much over the observation period. In total, 88% of the final reports had been opened 4 weeks after they became available in the EPR. For prelimi-nary reports, the median time until they were opened was 40 to 50 minutes. Only 42% of them were read. Preliminary CT and US reports were opened sooner than CR re-ports. There was no general reduction in length of patient hospital stay (LOS) after the ICT introduction. There was, however, a reduction in LOS for patients with one or more CT scans, from 5.3 to 3.9 days. This reduction was significant both in itself and rela-tive to the non-CT group. It has been feared that more lesions would be missed than when images were printed on film. Our study did not identify any such deterioration. On the contrary, when both certain and uncertain findings were included, the detection sensitivity was actually improved.
The introduction of ICT led to reports being available for and read by clinicians earli-er than before, however not all effects proved sustainable. We also found that radiolo-gists used the flexibility offered by the system to give priority to certain report catego-ries. The study indicated that length of stay was reduced for patients that had CT scans during their stay. Diagnostic sensitivity of chest radiographs did not deteriorate. Our findings indicate that when ICT is introduced in the radiology department of a large hospital, a few improvements may follow. However, our findings also indicate that an ICT introduction may have an untapped potential, and that not all effects are neces-sarily sustained. We did not observe important adverse consequences of the ICT in-troduction.

text: MA/Diploma/Certificate Religion, Politics and Society OverviewCourse detailsLearning and teachingEmployabilityStudent life Since the 1990s, religious issues have assumed a growing importance in global, national and regional institutions and policy processes. This was dramatically highlighted by the attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and the abortive attack that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania (possibly heading for the White House) on September 11, 2001, and the events that have followed since. This programme examines the major themes around the role of religion in politics and international relations in the contemporary world and allows you to research the role of religion in society and politics, looking at both domestic and transnational contexts. It explores the theoretical, conceptual and methodological approaches to the subject by focusing on the relationship between organised religions and the nation-state, as well as the global processes that promote religious conflict and conflict resolution. This programme is ideal for current and aspiring policymakers and analysts in international, national and regional institutions engaged in management of conflict, diversity, inter-religious relations and community development. Course details The programme allows you to research the role of religion in society and politics, and its important role in public policy dimensions and significant potential for impact and intervention in the public sphere. It will also focus on the public roles of religious communities and individuals, particularly in liberal pluralist societies, and considers theoretical issues such as: The relationship of religion and religious bodies to public spaces, institutions and events Theological responses to public issues The place of religion in public policy There will be particular attention paid to the UK and European contexts, as well as offering the opportunity for exploring these issues in other national contexts and transnationally. All students will take two core modules: Religion in Contemporary Global Politics I Religion in Contemporary Global Politics II MA and Diploma students will also study a core module in Research Methods. If you are studying for the Certificate, you will choose one optional module, while MA and Diploma students will choose three optional modules. MA students will complete their programme with a 15,000-word dissertation, or a placement-based dissertation. Why study this course Taught by experts – you will study alongside some of the finest minds in Theology and Religion. We are ranked second among all Theology departments in the UK in the Research Excellence Framework 2014. Be a part of exciting department – you will be exposed to a variety of opportunities to enhance your student experience, including regular coffee mornings for staff and students, visiting speakers, lecture series and social events. Flexibility – the wide range of modules on offer allows you to both identify and explore your specific interests. Small classes – teaching on the Masters-level modules involve mainly small-group seminars allowing you to really get to grips with the learning material. Access to a wide range of services –aas a postgraduate student you will have access to services such as the Academic Writing Advisory Service and the Bank of Assessed Work which will aid your transition from undergraduate to postgraduate level, or back into academia after a time away. Modules You will study two core modules: Religion in Contemporary Global Politics I This module focuses on theoretical and conceptual debates about the role of religion in contemporary global politics. Traditionally, the study of political science and international relations has framed the understanding of religion within the context of secularisation and the nation-state. This interpretation is being increasingly contested by the impact of globalisation and the rise of anti-secular movements. The module will critically examine the secularisation thesis as applied to the 'West' (developed countries) and the 'East' (underdeveloped countries) and evaluate the impact of globalisation on collective religious identities. Following an introduction to the theoretical perspectives the course will focus on three particular themes: religious nationalism; religious identities and mobilisation; and religious transnationalism. The module concludes by reflecting on the wider implications for the study of politics and international relations of organised religious movements today. Religion in Contemporary Global Politics II This module examines the public policy responses to the global religious revival since 1989. Although traditionally organised religions have been viewed as the source of intractable political conflicts, in the last decade there has been an increasing recognition of the need to manage religious differences and to utilise religious resources for conflict resolution. Theoretically and conceptually this departure is anchored in the inter-related debates on multiculturalism, pluralism and the need for religious dialogue among the world's great religions. Following an examination of these debates and the assumptions underpinning them, the module will evaluate policy response in three contexts: the United Nations system; transnational organisations; and national and local public policy agendas. The module concludes by reflecting critically on the achievements and the limitations of integrating organised religions into public policy implementation. MA and Diploma students will also study a core module in Research Methods: Research Methods This module consists of ten discipline-specific sessions taught by members of the School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion. Topics that will be addressed include some or all of the following: conducting empirical research; reading in theology; research skills; dissertation planning; textual studies; and historical research. Certificate students will choose one optional module, while MA and Diploma students will choose three optional modules. Options available within Theology and Religion typically include: Feminism in the Muslim WorldThis module explores the development of feminism in the Muslim world, in particular the feminist movements active in countries such as Turkey, Egypt, and Iran, considering the aims and objectives and methodologies of these movements. Different perspectives and ideological narratives and discourses are explored, such as Muslim secular feminism and the development of Islamic feminism. Particular feminist writers and scholars are critically evaluated within these movements, such as Nawal Al-Sadawi, Fatimah Mernissi and Amina Wadud. The impact of feminism on Muslim societies is explored and evaluated during the course. Political IslamThe course is a detailed study and critique of the rise and development of political Islam or Islamism in the Muslim world and beyond. As such, it critically examines and evaluates the origins, roots, theory and history of Islamism. The course assesses the impact and effects of this trend on contemporary Muslim thought. Also, it investigates the causes that have led to the emergence of political Islam, its nature, agendas and role in domestic, regional and international politics. Special emphasis will be placed on the distinction between the worldviews of radical Islamism and moderate Islam. The course will be approached from three angles: governments and their Islamic oppositions, Islamism in power, and the global aspect of political Islam. Sikh Perspectives on Interreligious RelationsThis module will begin by looking at key concepts within Sikhism: God, Guru, Gender Equality, Salvation and Liberation. These concepts will be considered in relation to attitudes to other religions and, what might be called 'alien contexts'. There will be a special concentration on Sikhism in diasporic contexts, particularly in the British context. You can also choose up to two of your options from modules available in other Departments. Modules available typically include: History Globalisation Since 1945 Making Sense of the World: Themes in Global History Philosophy Bioethics Global Ethics I Global Ethics II Human Rights Department of Political Science and International Studies Contemporary Themes and Issues in British Politics Diplomacy and Statecraft Economic Diplomacy and Negotiation Ethical Dimensions of Terrorism, Political Violence and War Foreign Policy Analysis Gender and Global Governance Globalisation and Governance Multiculturalism and Religious Conflict Politics and the State Terrorism and Contemporary Conflict Terrorism and Political Violence The Theory and Ethics of Terrorism and Political Violence US Foreign and Defence Policy Please note that the optional modules listed on the website for this programme are intended to be indicative, and the availability of optional modules may vary from year to year.

text: BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Citizen's Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today issued a bristling response to Brady Campaign President Dan Gross, who insisted as he left the White House meeting with Vice President Joe Biden that the current push for more gun control "is not a debate around the Second Amendment." "The hell it's not," CCRKBA Chairman Alan M. Gottlieb declared. "The right to keep and bear arms is at the core of this anti-gun campaign, and Dan Gross knows it." The Brady Campaign is one of several so-called "gun safety" organizations that have already met with Vice President Biden and his gun control task force. Gottlieb challenged that definition. "The Brady Campaign and other such organizations are all about gun prohibition, not safety," he said. "They're not interested in safety when all they want is to disarm law-abiding Americans and taking the best means of self-defense away from crime victims while doing nothing to disarm criminals. "The White House calling the gun prohibition lobby a 'gun safety' group is tantamount to suggesting that Ted Bundy was an advocate for battered women," he said. In comments to reporters, Gross insisted that "Words like 'comprehensive' and 'broad' don't mean taking guns away from law-abiding citizens." "That statement is so demonstrably untrue it's ridiculous that he expects anyone to believe it," Gottlieb said. "Banning an entire class of firearms based primarily on cosmetics is taking them away from people. Imposing extremist regulations on the exercise of a civil right amounts to taking that right away and treating gun ownership like a privilege. "Among gun prohibitionists," he concluded, "the definition of safety is disarmament. Sure they're not debating 'around the Second Amendment,' they're trying to erode it and ultimately erase it from the Bill of Rights. We're not going to let them get away with it."

De Gea vehemently denies allegations
MADRID (Reuters) - Spain goalkeeper David de Gea said on Friday that press reports linking him to a prostitution case currently under investigation in Spain were false and he would not leave the Spanish squad for the Euro 2016 soccer championship.
"It is all a lie. It's all false what has come out in the press. It is in the hands of my lawyers," de Gea told a news conference at Spain's headquarters in Ile de Re, France.
"I'm calm. If anything I am going to have more determination. I'm looking forward for Euro 2016 to start," de Gea said, looking calm and composed.
According to the Spanish newspaper El Diario, the Manchester United goalkeeper was named in a statement given by a protected witness in a rape case against pornography producer Ignacio Fernandez Allende, nicknamed Torbe.
Torbe has been in prison since April on charges relating to prostitution, including human trafficking for sexual exploitation.
Neither the court investigating the case nor the Spanish police were available for comment.
De Gea, 25, said the story caught him by surprise.
"I was resting in my room, playing with the Play (station) and I was told about this story," he said.
"I have no idea where this comes from and how this can be in the press. It's a way to tarnish someone's reputation. The first thing I did was to speak to my family so they wouldn't worry. Continued...
