Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel started 2009 hoping for wins and finished it coming closer than anyone to beating Jenson Button to the title. Vettel says he has grown as a driver as a result, but makes no secret of his anger at losing out - at those missed opportunities and small, but costly mistakes.
At least his win at Sundays inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix served as some consolation - and as a reminder of just what an excellent season he and Red Bull have had, despite both titles slipping through their fingers
Q: Sebastian, has the Abu Dhabi race eased your mood? Did your win wash away the bitter taste of missing out on the title?
Sebastian Vettel: It sure did, but it also showed that we could have pulled it off. But now its no use to cry over spilt milk and in fact, what could be better than bidding farewell to the season with a one-two victory? For sure I head for the winter break with a much better feeling having left my mark at this very first Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Q: You started this season with nothing to lose and everything to gain. Now you are the championship runner-up, yet you called yourself the first loser. Why are you so hard on yourself?
SV: Well, that is a common saying in Formula One and when I said it I obviously felt it. It is always hard to let an opportunity slip through your fingers.
Q: From the initial goal to deliver a good season, the expectations escalated with every race to the point where the title was within reach. Can you remember at which race that feeling of wanting it all set in?
SV: Well, when you realize that you are sitting in a competitive car naturally you start to think about the title. In fact I think that was early on in the season. In Melbourne I started to understand that we had a very competitive car. But then you wait one more race - Malaysia, because Australia is a street circuit so it might not reflect the real potential of the car; then you come to China, the second proper race track and youre still quick; and then you start to understand that this is going to be a very good season. I could probably say that after the second or third race I started to think about the championship. The penalty imposed for the Melbourne incident wasnt helpful in Malaysia, but that had nothing to do with the fact that the car was great.
Q: What did you learn about yourself this year?
SV: I wish I didnt have to say it, but that I hate losing. I think I knew it all along, but now I am definitely sure. But somehow that doesnt only go for racing - Im afraid I hate losing in anything I am doing - whether it is playing a silly game, or football, I obviously simply hate to lose. Coming back to racing, with that attitude I must say I am in a perfect sport because we are wearing helmets so no-one can see our faces when things go wrong!
Q: After that disappointing qualifying in Brazil you were very tight lipped, but then your face told a different story. Had you really believed that you could turn the tide in your favour in Sao Paulo?
SV: Yes. Im not one of those people who stop believing very early. I was literally hoping up until the chequered flag that something would happen in my favour and when it didnt it was like a slap in the face. Looking back I would say that since Silverstone we clearly had a better car, but unfortunately things didnt always come our way. Sometimes it simply wasnt meant to be, but our opponents also did their best in failing to score points. Looking back the doors were open, or in a football terminology, the goal was open but we still failed to bury the ball in the net. The season had 17 races and five we did not finish.
Q: Were there situations where you blamed yourself for not having done everything possible?
SV: Generally I have to say that Ive made a big step forward from last year to this year - as a driver and from a fitness point of view. I would say that Ive grown and have improved my performance in the car quite a bit. On some occasions - not too many - I could have done a little better from my side. Maybe some qualifying performances, which at times would have changed the outcome of the race - like in Spa, where we had the quickest car, but I made a mistake in qualifying. But that is all would and could. All in all I did a pretty good job and we did a pretty good job as a team.
Q: Would a different team strategy have had an impact on your championship result?
SV: Looking back, for sure. Races like Turkey, where we tried a three-stopper to put Jenson (Button) under pressure, but we simply didnt have the pace to make it work. Or like Monaco, where we were not good enough to win, but good enough for fourth or fifth. Or by forcing the car on to pole, where weve been so short (on fuel) that the race was sacrificed. These were clearly the wrong decisions. There have been other minor issues, like in Barcelona where I had to follow Felipe Massa all race long - I came into the pits when he did, they fuelled as long as we did and that destroyed it for me. But then we are a team - there is never only one person to blame.
Q: How do you deal with disappointment? In public you are always very controlled. Do you take it out on the pillows back in the hotel room?
SV: I can tell you that it is pretty hard sometimes to control yourself when anger is almost overwhelming you and you want to get out of the car, throw the steering wheel away and destroy everything around you. But these cars are pretty expensive so you have to slow yourself down. When you are behind closed doors - among your people - you can show much more of your anger. And when I get back to my room for sure there are objects flying around.
Q: Midway through the season Flavio Briatore said that the wrong guy in the wrong car was leading the championship. That guy and that car went on to win it. What did you make of this remark?
SV: I totally agree with it - we should have won! But as I said before should, could and would dont matter in sports, only results. But for sure I would have loved to win - and the team as well, and probably Flavio was thinking the same thing. But congratulations to Jenson and the Brawn team.
Q: Lewis Hamilton reportedly said recently that he likes a team player as a team mate. To some that sounds like hes looking for a supporter rather than a challenger - you rarely hear of a team player winning the championship. What kind of team mate would you prefer?
SV: I can be pretty happy (with Mark Webber). Outside the car we get along pretty well and inside the car we fight each other - and it was probably fortunate for the team that we didnt come close too often. We are both pretty straightforward. If you want to win you have to beat everybody - and that includes your team mate. In fact hes the first one that you want to beat, because hes running with the same material as you and when he beats you thats no compliment for you. For sure you dont want a team mate that you hate desperately.
Q: Red Bull Racing have not announced an engine partner yet for 2010. This could be a key issue for you and your championship challenge next season
SV: Yep, and nothing has been decided yet. It is quite difficult to race without an engine - probably we will have pedals, but then I have to rapidly take my fitness to another level!
Q: What is on your agenda for the next couple of weeks?
SV: No plans made yet. There are some meetings (at the Red Bull factory) in Milton Keynes for analyzing the season to be able to do it better next year. Then I need time for myself and with friends and family. For sure a little holiday. I love skiing so the mountains will be my destination at some point. And then Ill start to work on my fitness again.

During the launch of their new challenger, the RA108, in Brackley on Tuesday, Honda took time out to announce that Mike Conway and Luca Filippi will make up their young driver line-up for the coming season. Conway and Filippi tested for the team last year during November and December.
The duo, who will both race in GP2 this season, will test for the team during young driver evaluation days. According to the 2008 sporting regulations, these training sessions do not count towards the 30,000 kilometre testing limit recently introduced by the FIA.
Both drivers greatly impressed us with their performance and commitment in the tests at the end of last year and, after a thorough evaluation, we have decided to reward them with the opportunity to work closely with the team this season, explained sporting director Ron Meadows.
Honda takes its commitment to developing promising young talent in motor sport very seriously and we look forward to working closely with these young drivers and helping them to progress to the very highest levels of our sport.
Twenty-two year-old Filippi has competed in GP2 for the past two seasons and finished fourth in the standings in 2007. He began his racing career in his home country of Italy, winning the Italian Formula 3000 championship in 2005 before graduating to GP2.
It is a great opportunity for me to be a part of the Honda Young Driver Programme and I am really looking forward to working with the team this year, said the Italian. I am hoping to learn a great deal from the team's engineers and drivers, which will help not only in driving the F1 car but also for my racing in the GP2 series. I would like to thank the Honda Racing F1 Team for their faith in me and I'm looking forward to my chance to drive the RA108.
Conway, who was Filippis team mate in GP2 last year, has been part of Hondas Young Driver Programme since March 2007. The 24 year-old Briton won the British Formula Three championship and the Macau Grand Prix in 2006, while in 2004 he clinched the Formula Renault UK title. Most recently, he got a brief chance to sample the new RA108 during its initial shakedown testing in Valencia last week.
I am really pleased to be continuing my association with the Honda Racing F1 Team and very much looking forward to this year, he said. I have already learnt so much from working with the team and it will be very rewarding to be able to contribute to the development of the car this year. I drove the RA108 in Valencia last Friday which was fantastic so I'm looking forward to the next opportunity.
Honda also confirmed on Tuesday that they will reward the 2008 winner of the junior racing formula, Formula Masters. The victor of the series, which runs alongside eight European rounds of the FIA World Touring Car Championship, will get the chance to drive the RA108.

One needn't rhyme to make meaninful poetry, a point John Lee Hooker proved time and time again throughout his prolific career. This compact disc of twenty tracks recorded by the Mississippi-born moaner between 1950 and 1954 for Specialty Records, seven of them previously unissued, finds him alone in the studio with just his own fierce guitar accompaniment or rocking out with the kind of raucous combo he often performed with at bars along Hastings Street in Detroit. While most of the selections are Hooker's unique compositions, he also puts his stylistic stamp on Percy Mayfield's "I Need Love So Bad" and Roscoe Gordon's "No More Doggin'."

Crest Financial Sends Letter To Mount Kellett About Clearwire And Sprint
Unfortunately, the Company finds itself with insufficient capital to build out its facilities to realize the full value of the spectrum capacity that it holds. Like you, Crest would expect that, if the members of the Company's Board were intent on discharging their fiduciary duties, they would take immediate action to bolster the Company's liquidity.
In addition to the sale of excess spectrum that you proposed in your letter, Crest believes that immediate steps to raise capital through the offering and sale of additional common shares would be among the steps a board of directors, acting in the best interests of all shareholders, would pursue. Proceeds from such an offering, together with proceeds from the sale of a portion of the Company's excess spectrum to a third party or parties, would ensure a successful build-out of the Company's network and bolster the Company's position as it renegotiates the lease of its spectrum to Sprint. And the additional and immediate network investment facilitated by a successful share offering would likely increase the value of Clearwire's assets and thus the sale price for any excess spectrum.
It is Crest's view that this sale of additional shares can be done quickly and successfully for the good of the Company, its shareholders and the public at large. Indeed, Crest would consider participating in such an offering.
There are a number of reasons why a public offering and sale of shares, in addition to the sale of its excess spectrum, should be pursued. First, the value of the Company's assets, which the Softbank-Sprint proposal and the Company's own disclosures confirm, would easily support such an offering. Second, the proceeds from the sale of shares would provide the Company with the capital necessary to push ahead with its build-out strategy during the period it is working to complete its sale of excess spectrum. Third, raising capital from investors other than the dominant shareholder, or at least pro rata with it, would prevent what has amounted to a creeping tender offer that Sprint has said is its intention with regard to the Company – to wit, the buying of shares of strategic investors whenever it gets a chance. Finally, the Company has recently experienced success in raising capital, specifically through sales of its common shares to the public utilizing its Sales Agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Company. There is no reason why these efforts should not continue. Indeed, it is unclear why the Company abruptly ended that arrangement near the end of July notwithstanding the success CF&Co. experienced in selling the Company's common shares under that arrangement.

Criminal Defense Attorneys
Hate crimes involve victimizing an individual based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or similar affiliation or status. These crimes can include physical assault, verbal assault, vandalism, harassment and murder, among many others.
Click here to learn how to select the right lawyer.
Hate crimes tend to generate negative publicity and media coverage, making it difficult to have a fair trial. Typically, because of their hostile and violent nature, the consequences for hate crimes could result in the loss of employment and imprisonment.
Penalties and punishments for hate crimes are dependent on a variety of factors such as prior convictions, probation, and parole status and media attention. Some consequences may include:
- Prison sentence
- Loss of certain rights
- Fines
- Rehabilitation
- Probation/Parole
If you have been accused of a hate crime, it is important to find a criminal defense attorney that will be aggressive and will work hard to build a strong legal defense for your case. At the Strom Law Firm our lawyers will help to protect your future and your legal rights.
Our lawyers will provide a well planned defense and will fight to have your charges reduced or dismissed. Contact us today for your free consultation as our criminal defense lawyers discuss the matters of your case and how we can help.
Locating a Columbia, South Carolina Criminal Defense Attorney
Anyone faced with a legal problem knows the most common question asked, "Who is the best criminal defense attorney in South Carolina."
To determine who is best suited to represent you, there are several factors that you need to consider:
- The attorney-client relationship is built upon trust. You should select an attorney that you feel comfortable with.
- Your attorney needs to know everything that happened. Don't be fooled into thinking that your secret won't get out or that something that happened is not relevant. An attorney cannot prepare an adequate defense without knowing all of the facts related to the case. Early disclosure may prevent a roadblock later in your case which could have been avoided.
- Make sure that you understand what your attorney's "fee" covers.
- Make sure that your attorney discusses the charge(s) against you, what the prosecutor must prove or establish to find you guilty, and the potential criminal penalties for the particular crime involved.
- Ask your attorney how many cases he or she has tried in the past and whether he or she is willing to try your case before a jury.
- Ask your attorney what types of cases he or she typically handles as well as whether the attorney has defended the charge you have been arrested for.
- Be leery of anyone promises or guarantees you specific results. While your attorney can give you a good idea of what to expect, what your options are, and possible outcomes, it is unethical and quite frankly impossible to guarantee you a specific result.
- Don't be afraid to ask your attorney how he or she plans to build the defense of your case.

European Stocks Shrink on Ukraine Uncertainty, French Deficit
LONDON (The Deal) -- Monday's European stock market rally was but a fond memory in early trading this morning, as renewed uncertainty in the Ukraine helped push Germany's market downwards and the French current account deficit gaped wider as a result of the huge fine French banking giant BNP Paribas (BNPQY) paid to U.S. regulators last month. London drifted aimlessly for want of any real news.
Publication of the latest economic confidence index from Germany's prestigious ZEW economic research center provided a snapshot of just how bad the country's businessmen think it will get. The index dropped to 8.6 in August, from 27.1 the previous month -- and well below consensus forecasts of 17. That's the biggest drop since the middle of 2012, and the lowest measure of economic confidence since December that year.

German glues and consumer goods maker Henkel (HENOY) reported weaker quarterly revenues, although after taking account of currency fluctuations and one-off costs, operating profits were actually up 2.1% at €674 million and well above analysts' forecasts. But the company lists Ukraine as one of its top-10 markets and also chose to warn of a likely recession in Russia this year. Not surprisingly Henkel was down 2.46% at €69.50 and the biggest faller in the DAX.
In London, scandal-hit outsourced services group Serco (SECCY) recorded poor first-half results, with a pretax loss of £7.3 million compared with a profit of £106.1 million a year ago. But the company maintained its forward guidance and proposed a dividend -- and its share was one of the biggest risers, up 4.53% at 343.8 pence. Meanwhile, across Europe, airline stocks are lifting off, as oil prices slip back. Lufthansa (DLAKY) was up 1.69% at €12.91, while in London, International Consolidated Airlines (ICAGY), which operates both British Airways and Spain's Iberia, was up 1.06% at 334.70 pence. Read More: The Keystone XL Pipeline Springs Another Leak The FTSE 100 was up 0.08% at 10.50 a.m. BST at 6,638, while in Frankfurt, the DAX was down 0.25% at 9,157.85 and in Paris, the CAC 40 was down 0.2% at 4,189. Moscow's MICEX index was up 0.39% at 1,377.84. Asian bourses continued Monday's rally overnight, though at a slower pace. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was up 0.18% at 24,689.41, while in Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 was up 0.2% at 15,161.31, although China's Shanghai Composite was down 0.14% at 2,221.59.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Taste Discovery Zone: Eat, Taste, Enjoy
HYPER JAPAN Spring 2012 welcomed a whole host of foodies to the Taste Discovery Zone, sponsored by Kikkoman and S&B, eager to learn more about how to create simple, authentic, Japanese style dishes at home. The ever-affable Atsuko Ikeda was back again this year, with sessions introducing us to yaki udon and wasabi cream, whilst newcomer to the Eat-Japan Food Court Elsa Gleeson took on the dessert menu. For all things sake, Natsuki Kikuya, Eat-Japan's Executive Sommelier and curator of the Sake Awards, enlightened us with her informative seminars on the delights of Japan's national drink.
A packed three-day schedule of food and drink saw each session in the aptly named Taste Discovery Zone fully booked. Atsuko Ikeda focused on making the British public a whizz with rice. As a staple of any Japanese kitchen, the rice we use for our forays into Japanese cuisine has to be just right. In Gohan and Onigiri, the opener to the zone's range of mouth-watering seminars, we learned that Japonica rice with its sticky texture is the grain of choice. (If you want to be able to deftly roll rice into balls for a super quick onigiri snack, wet the palms of your hands first. Seriously, it helps). Next up for rice was Making Sushi. The inside-out maki and temaki were some of the core recipes on show as members of the audience got up to try their hand at a bit of sushi making, adding chopped nuts, herbs and sesame for an extra crunch factor.
Of course Japanese cuisine isn't all about rice, where would we be without the noodles? Yaki udon, or fried udon noodles (recipe here), with pancetta, ginger and vegetables was diced, sliced and served to lucky participants whilst Japan's perennial favourites Katsu Kare (recipe here)and Kare Udon (recipe here) were dished up in less than half an hour.
Closing the Taste Discovery Zone was Atsuko's introduction to Wasabi cream (recipe here). Adding a Japanese inspired twist to your slices of smoked salmon will never be so easy! Mixing S&B's Wasabi Sauce (milder than wasabi paste) with crème fraiche, radish and herbs creates the perfect accompaniment to salmon, chips and your Sunday barbeque. You can try the recipe here.
HYPER JAPAN welcomed Elsa Gleeson to the Taste Discovery Zone as she took on fried pork marinated in ginger juice in one of Japan's most loved home-cooked dishes. Butaniku Shoga Yaki is surprisingly easy to prepare and makes a great topping for both rice and udon; try the recipe here.
After all the savouriness there had to be something for the sweet-toothed among us. With her matcha and white chocolate truffles (recipe here), Elsa demonstrated how to impress friends with a simple but expensive looking dessert. In Japan matcha tea, being quite a bitter drink, is accompanied by something sweet. Here, Elsa combined this counterbalance of bitter and sweet in one mouth-full. Combining the rich creamy texture of white chocolate with the bitterness of matcha green tea powder, participants were able to try a rather unique tasting truffle. Elsa also showed us how to make Japan's ubiquitous dorayaki, or mini sweet pancakes. Adding orange blossom water, cinnamon and vanilla extract to the red bean paste transformed this little pancake into a lightly sweet springtime dessert. Red bean paste is perhaps, as Elsa mentioned, somewhat of an acquired taste, but with this recipe more people will definitely be converted to the delights of dorayaki!

Oakland-based Blue Bone Express, known simply as BBX, has forged a unique place in the San Francisco Bay Area music scene since formed in 2004 by pianist/trumpeter Jara Ra. Their music is primarily a mix of jazz, blues, and r&b, inspired by the deep legacy of New Orleans music culture. Rags and stomps are played and sung effortlessly alongside blues jumps and more modern rock & TV theme covers, amidst a host of original compositions.
Their signature sousaphone and rollicking piano sound keeps the party hopping with infectious 2nd line and shuffle rhythms of traditional New Orleans parades. Not a jazz band to just sit and sip wine to, Blue Bone Express gets bones up on the floor (or street) and keeps the vibe at an ecstatic high. Named "the coolest jazz brass band in Northern California" by the San Francisco Chronicle, BBX is firmly placed to maintain the Bay Area's standard for hot party jazz. |

You are here: Main / Customer Services / Public Communications Division / Honolulu News Releases 2004 / Groundbreaking Held For Rusti's New Enclosure |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 15, 2004 GROUNDBREAKING HELD FOR RUSTI'S NEW ENCLOSURE The long-awaited home for Rusti the orangutan moved one step closer to completion today (Wednesday, December 15) with a groundbreaking at the site of his planned new enclosure. "We are deeply grateful to the generous donors who have thus far stepped forward to enable us to keep Rusti at our Zoo," said Mayor Jeremy Harris. "After more than seven years, he will finally have a spacious, new, permanent home." Funds for Rusti's enclosure have come so far from the Orangutan Foundation International ($200,000), Erin Keck from the Big Island ($100,000) and Rose Helen Vincent ($100,000). The enclosure will be built where the Zoo previously held its elephant encounters. Construction is expected to begin early next year and should take about five months to complete. Architect Glenn Mason is designing the orangutan exhibit. Male orangutans are normally solitary animals, so keeping Rusti by himself is not a departure from his normal behavior. Introducing another male may provoke a territorial conflict. However, it may be possible to acquire a female companion should the enclosure's night quarters be expanded in the future. Rusti is 24 years old and for more than half his life has not had a tree to climb. The new exhibit will be larger than his previous enclosures, and include a large tree and other climbing structures for him to enjoy. -30- |

Real Madrid knocked Manchester United out of the Champions League after a dramatic night at Old Trafford, with Cristano Ronaldo scoring the winning goal in a 2-1 win (3-2 aggregate), while Borussia Dortmund made light work of Shakhtar Donetsk, cruising to a 3-0 home win. Here is the rundown: 1. Ronaldo breaks United hearts.This night was meant to belong to Cristiano Ronaldo, back at Manchester United for the first time since he left the club in 2009, and looking, in a non-major tournament year, to cement his claim as the Ballon d'Or for world's best player with a decisive Champions League performance. For a while, though, it looked like he might be upstaged by an English forward who had scored only twice this season, and, briefly, a Portuguese winger so far off being the new Ronaldo that he didn't even make the 18-man squad for United for the first leg of this tie. It was, after all, Nani whose cross was touched by Danny Welbeck onto the ankle of Sergio Ramos, who turned it into his own net for the game's opening goal after 47 minutes.At that stage, United was in control, and every big decision Sir Alex Ferguson had made was coming off: Welbeck was tracking back to mark Xabi Alonso and reduce his influence (just as Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp told Mario Gotze to do when his side dominated Madrid in the group stage), Ryan Giggs was helping Rafael keep Ronaldo quiet and Nani, well, he did set up the goal.The game turned on an incident after 55 minutes, when Nani challenged Alvaro Arbeloa for a high ball and, after making contact with the defender's midriff, was shown a straight red card for dangerous play. Cuneyt Cakir's decision did come as a surprise, but replays showed, though his eyes were always on the ball, his foot was high. It was a tough call, and will certainly dominate the post-match analysis. Madrid and Jose Mourinho were in no mood to let this opportunity pass. Almost straightaway, he brought on Luka Modric for Arbeloa and, after sustained pressure, the Croatian took a pass from Ronaldo and curled a stunning shot from outside the area which went in off the post in the 66th minute. It can't have helped Ferguson's mood that Modric is a player he had wanted to sign from Spurs for the last two summers. Once again, as has happened so often, Mourinho's substitutions paid off.Madrid had the momentum and three minutes later, another goal. Modric passed to Gonzalo Higuaín, who took a backheel return pass from Mesut Özil and fired in a cross to the far post which Ronaldo slid home. Madrid's star man didn't seem to know whether to laugh or cry: in keeping with the latest trend, he chose not to celebrate against his former side. MCCALL: U.S. women set for first test under SermanniUnited kept on pushing but found Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez to be in top form: he kept out a close-range Michael Carrick header, a Robin van Persie shot, and after seeing Wayne Rooney volley over the top from seven yards, dived in injury time to punch out a Nemanja Vidic header. As usual, much of the narrative around this game focused on Mourinho, who said after the game: "Independent of the [red card] decision, the best team lost, we didn't play well, we didn't deserve to win. The best team lost." Would the players perform for Mourinho? Would he celebrate like he did as Porto coach at Old Trafford nine years ago? Where will he be coaching next season? This is normally talk that the Portuguese thrives on, so it was significant that he was on his best behavior in the pre-match press conference: no provocations, no wind-ups. The obvious conclusion was that he is eyeing the job to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, but maybe that does Mourinho a disservice: the two men do like each other, and even during his most Macchievellian days at Chelsea, Mourinho never rubbed Ferguson the wrong way. After the red card, the two men could be seen chatting about the decision on the touchline. Instead, the focus should be on Ferguson and his future. He doesn't like to talk about it, but he acknowledged it before this game. "People ask me why I don't retire after so many years in the game, but how could anyone with an ounce of passion for football in their soul voluntarily walk away from the opportunity to be involved in this type of occasion?" he wrote. "This is what it is all about -- a packed Old Trafford, the floodlights on, the pitch glistening and two of the greatest and romantic clubs in the game about to do battle." Last weekend, Ferguson told L'Equipe that losing the title to Manchester City in the final seconds of last season left him feeling as bad as he had for the last 20 years, all the way back to a time when Liverpool was dominating the English game. The way his team has bounced back this season is a direct response to last year's defeat. It is losing titles, not winning them, that keeps Ferguson going. WILSON: Was Nani's red card justified?The irony of Mourinho knocking his team out of Europe is that it will only strengthen Ferguson's resolve to stay at United to try and win in Europe again. Yes, Ferguson wanted to win league title No. 20 for United to surpass Liverpool's tally of 19 (and that looks all but certain to happen), but with Barcelona no longer the all-conquering force it was in 2009 and 2011 -- during that one-sided Champions League final, the lasting image was of Ferguson watching from the dugout with his hands shaking -- winning the Champions League, a possible treble, looked possible to achieve. Those dreams are now dead. Mourinho has helped knock out United and in so doing, possibly closed off another avenue for his future. 2. Dortmund cruises to last eight. Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu said that the winner of this tie would reach the Champions League final, but unfortunately for him, it won't be the Ukrainian champion at Wembley in May. Borussia Dortmund was simply too strong in the first half, effectively killing off the tie with goals from Felipe Santana and Mario Götze. There was an irony about the first goal, which had been coming. Shakhtar had conceded a last-minute equalizer in the first leg from a corner, headed by Mats Hummels, and the fact he was out with flu was a cause for concern for the German side. But it was his replacement, Santana, who broke the deadlock to put Dortmund ahead in the 31st; just before then, Götze had already set up Robert Lewandowski, whose powerful shot was hit straight at Shakhtar goalie Andriy Pyatov.Dortmund's midfield pairing, Sven Bender and Ilkay Gundogan, was running the show, and the German side's second was a breakaway goal not helped by poor Shakhtar defending. This time it was Lewandowski feeding Götze: his cross found the playmaker in space and, despite two defenders closing in, he was able to prod it home to double the lead in the 37th. It was a measure of Dortmund's control that six different players had shots on goal in that first half.It was a similar story in the second, albeit without quite so much urgency: when Dortmund did score, it was after Pyatov fumbled Ilkay Gundogan's shot from range and Jakub Blaszczykowski jumped in smartly to make it three in the 59th. Substitute Kevin Grosskreutz almost made it four, but by then the damage had been done. Dortmund may not reach the final, but it is definitely a team to avoid in the quarterfinal drawing March 15.

Ray Allen Will Wear "Jesus Shuttlesworth" Heat Jersey
The most anticipated merchandising ploy of the NBA season is almost upon us: The Miami Heat will soon debut its "nickname" jerseys that will swap out, well, nicknames for the players' last names on the back of their jerseys. Knicks fan Spike Lee, of all people, apparently got one of the first looks, and Ray Allen will wear "J. Shuttlesworth" on the back of his jersey, an homage to the character he played in Lee's 1998 film He Got Game.
We were hoping for "3 Point Jesus," but this is good enough.
The Heat will debut the jerseys January 21 versus Boston and wear them again March 12 versus Brooklyn and April 8 against Brooklyn. The Nets are the only other team that will experiment with nickname jerseys this season.
According to previous reports, LeBron James is expected to have "King James" on his back, and Shane Battier is going with "Shaneo." No word yet on what the rest of the team will go with.

Within a few fleeting moments, presto: Deen is punctually drizzling genetic material onto Kayden's adorable face.
And cut. "I got come up my nose and my eyeball," Kayden says in a tone not of displeasure. "It was so good. I love James."
And James? Would he work with her again, someone asks.
"Fuck no," he says.
Kayden snorts in mock umbrage. "I'll rape you if you don't."
At 2:30 a.m.,�Losing Kayden�is pronounced a wrap. The crew coils cable. While the cast goes home, Deen heads to his ginormous pickup truck and sets a course for San Francisco, where he is needed on set twelve hours from now. A journalist in the passenger's seat, having spectated on live sex acts for the first time in his life, about a dozen solid hours' worth, is suffering not wholly agreeable reelings of the mind that he tries to cover for with ninnyish small talk.
"So that scene with Kayden seemed, ah, pretty enjoyable."
"Yeah," Deen says. "I always say sex is like soccer: It's fun and athletic, and you should do it with your friends."
Yes, I think. Right. Certainly. Here is a simple statement that Deen means pretty much as it sounds, but it also pithily expresses yet another reason why you or I will never be the sort of soccer player James Deen is. It's not just that he's got bigger, you know, feet than we do. It's that for you, on that night of enduring awkwardness when you went out for drinks with the woman in the adjacent cubicle and achieved your long-cherished fantasy of playing soccer with her, you did so not because you thought she was going to be this tremendously good soccer player. It was that you were thrilled that she found you sufficiently nonrevolting that she was willing to get on the field with you, which was a big consideration, because as you both knew, what makes the game so very, very exciting isn't its competitive physics but the conceit that the game is actually a high-velocity delivery system for privileged emotional knowledge of the other player's secret self. And that even if you're the sort of freebooting venereal Olympian who tries to play soccer with absolutely everything that moves, your compulsion to play is still ultimately grounded in the marrow-level conviction that the game matters in some way a good deal more complex and high-stakes than simple athletic fun.�
But the remarkable thing about Deen is, I think, that he has managed to dissociate sex from emotional consequence,�a feat of psychosexual contortionism he was limbering up for at an age when the rest of us had yet to tie our own shoelaces.�
Q:�So when did you decide to do porn?
A:�Kindergarten. I remember I was walking home one day, and I found this magazine, I don't know, a�Hustler�or something, with people banging in it. I was enamored by it. I was like, I want to do this. I actually got in trouble in third or fourth grade. They were asking everybody what they wanted to be when they grew up, and I said I wanted to be a porn star. They didn't like that. They thought I was being a dick. I was like, "I'm not being a dick, it's just what I want to be."
But outside of porn, before he entered the industry, what else interested him? "Nothing. That's the thing. My whole life, I've never really found anything else that I've found interesting."
James Deen, whose real name is Bryan Sevilla, grew up in Pasadena, California. His parents are both, after a fashion, rocket scientists. His father is a mechanical engineer for NASA. His mother does data analysis for the space agency. Deen, contrary to our notion of porn stars as survivors of sexual trauma, does not recall any sexual abuse or destructive misadventures, other than a teacher who Deen says tried to molest him when he was 8 or 9, but Deen "punched his testicles a lot" and made good his escape.�
Deen lost his virginity at age 12 during a sleepover at a Jewish camp. Not long after, in junior high school, he made enemies of the football team by having sex with a player's sister in the school pool during gym. He had some drug escapades in junior high. He spent a couple of years in outpatient rehab. Around age 15, he left high school and moved out and spent two years more or less homeless, hanging around with a crew of gutter punks. Relations with his parents remained reasonably cordial. They furnished him with a cell phone, and he periodically snuck into his mom's house to do laundry. (Deen's parents are divorced.)
At around 17, he moved in with his father. He was working at a Starbucks and taking classes at a community college when one evening he says he chanced upon a call-in radio program whose guest was the porn star Jenna Jameson. She imparted what was, for Deen, life-altering advice.
"So some guy calls in for like the millionth time and says, 'I wanna do porn. How do I get into the industry?' And she's been listening to this shit all night. She's frustrated. She goes, 'You wanna do porn? Go get a folding chair and sit in a room with twenty people and jerk off for an hour. And if you can keep hard, and when one of them yells "Come!" you can come in thirty seconds, then you can do porn.' "
Deen hearkened to these words. He began a self-styled apprenticeship in not-for-profit guerrilla pornography. "I started going to parties, and I'd bang girls in front of groups of people," he recalled. "I learned I could come on cue. I was told to come, and I'd come. I don't know how I do it. It has something to do with muscle control. It's easy for me."
In 2004 a stripper Deen knew introduced him to a casting agent who posted his naked picture on the World Wide Web. In short order, Deen was offered a role to be the recipient of something "more than a hand job but less than a blow job." He acquitted himself creditably. His career had begun. His agent thought "Clint Cunnilingus" was a poor choice of screen name. Bryan Sevilla instead became James Deen, inspired by the nickname he won in junior high school for the soigné manner in which he liked to pinch-cup a cigarette.
�In due time, a director offered the young aspirant his first full scene. The wood was durable, the orgasm prompt. Deen had proved himself a fellow of Miss Jameson's calling. Jobs poured in. (Deen wouldn't disclose his earnings, but top male talent can command $800 to $1,000 a scene.)��
Though you could not hire a lobbyist to boost for the porn industry more enthusiastically than James Deen, he does acknowledge that the life has its pitfalls. On our ride north, I mention what will be, for me, the least forgettable or pleasant image of the week I spend with him: that of Allie James posed with Steve Holmes's organ in a photo for her mother.

G. Rossini: La cambiale di matrimonio | Theater an der Wien in der Kammeroper
Interview with stage director
Jacopo Spirei
Theater an der Wien in der Kammeroper
Performance of the 21st October (Premiere)
The premiere of La cambiale di matrimonio on 10 November 1810 at the Teatro San Moise in Venice announced the discovery of a composer who would determine international opera events of the next two decades. The 18-year-old inexperienced Rossini understood the opportunity that was afforded him by impresario Antonio Cera, and his operatic debut was much more than just a test of talent. Although in many respects the great debt to composer Domenico Cimarosa can be found in La cambiale di matrimonio, one hears in this work all those traits which characterize the art of Rossini: strong stage instincts, psychological understanding of his characters, melodic imagination, and those typical forward driving rhythms which bring the audience into a state of great excitement.
The European merchant Tobia Mill wants to marry off his daughter Fanny for a considerable sum to his American business partner Slook, but Fanny loves the poor young Edoardo. After a while turbulence dissolves into pleasure as Slook, overwhelmed by the deep love of the two young lovers, agrees to the marriage contract, the "cambiale di matrimonio", with his young rival. Together they all sing of the victory of love.
Because the intimate setting of chamber opera is particularly well suited to the early masterpieces of Gioachino Rossini, this first stroke of genius of the "Swan of Pesaro" speaks as a prelude to other Rossini one-act operas and foreshadows what is to come in his later works.
Rossini's music is a resurrection of the golden age of Cimarosa – the early Rossini who so admired Stendhal. A new beginning as a fresh start – nothing could be more appropriate with regard to the new responsibility of Theater an der Wien in the Vienna Chamber Opera.

Poetry Friday: Maya Angelou
I'm writing this post from the Knoxville Convention Center, waiting for Social Slam to start. Spring has definitely arrived here in Knoxville: magnolias are blooming, despite the early morning chill. It's already looking to be a great day of networking and learning, but that's not the purpose of this post.
Yesterday was Maya Angelou's birthday. The acclaimed poet and autobiographer turned 85.
She's had a rich and varied career: singer, dancer, actress, composer, director (the first female black director in Hollywood), prostitute, but she's most recognized and celebrated for her contributions as an essayist, poet and civil rights activist. Over the course of her career spanning more than fifty years, she has published six autobiographies, five books of essays, several books of poetry and holds over thirty honorary doctoral degrees. Since 1982, she has taught at Wake Forest University where she holds the first lifetime Reynolds Professorship of American Studies.
Beginning with her most famous work I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings (1969), Angelou has followed the same writing ritual for years: she would wake early and check into a hotel where the staff was then instructed to removed any photographs from the walls. She writes exclusively on legal pads -- a bottle of sherry, a deck of cards, Roget's Thesaurus, and the Bible her only companions. She will produce an average of ten to twelve pages of written material per day, editing it down to three or four pages later that evening. This laborious writing process documented in Carol Sarler's Conversations with Maya Angelou.
In one of I Know Why the Caged Birds Sings' most controversial and emotional scenes, Angelou describes her rape at the hand of her mother's boyfriend. She was seven. Following the incident (and the subsequent murder of the man by her uncles), Angelou became mute for a period of five years, and escaped into literature, reading the works of Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du Bois, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe. The poet was born.

Again, it comes down to how people feel, right? Who determines the dollar amount to be awarded? Who determines that a botched surgery is worth 5 million dollars, or 10 million dollars, or nothing? 12 people, who act based on how they feel. Do they hate doctors? Or do they really feel badly for the mistreated patient?

Game time for Tigers
By CONOR NICHOLL
Third-year coach Chris Brown knows the fans and community are excited for the start of the Fort Hays State University football year.
The season opener is 7 p.m. Thursday against Emporia State University at Lewis Field Stadium. However, Brown and his coaching staff have different emotions.
"Coaches are always nervous, but I think we have got some great players," Brown said. "I think we are a very talented team right now.
"I think we have got some kids with some speed and some athleticism."
Compared to recent Tiger teams, the 2013 Fort Hays squad has more new players and first-year starters. This group looks to build on 4-7 and 5-6 records in Brown's first two seasons. FHSU has one winning season and hasn't posted an above .500 record in conference play since joining the MIAA eight years ago.
"As a whole, I feel like we have got a pretty good team right now," Brown said. "If we can continue to build on what we have got right now, hopefully we can have some excitement. You never know until you get onto the field."
The Tigers have just two players, senior running back Andre Smith and junior safety Michael Jordan, who have earned all-MIAA honors in their careers. A multi-purpose threat in 2012, sophomore Treveon Albert is now the starting quarterback.
"Right now, we have got some kids, we haven't really seen them play in a game situation and I think that's going to be the biggest difference in this team," Brown said.
Just two offensive players, senior wideouts Tanner Hageman and Keaton Callins, started Week 11 last fall in the same spots they will start Thursday. Sophomore right guard Jarred Stindt is the lone returning starter up front, but moved from center to right guard.
"Our O-line get better every single day," junior running back Edward Smith said.
"I feel like we have the guys to do it, the guys to block, so we should be all right."
In 2011, Andre Smith rushed for 963 yards and Edward Smith collected 748 yards. Both took medical redshirts last year after early season injuries.
"Two great threats at running back," Albert said. "That's what we need, so we can run the ball, we can pass the ball, we can do a lot of things when we've got two great running backs."
The defense has four returning starters. Hageman, Jordan, Smith and junior defensive lineman Jesse Trent are the captains.
But a host of transfers - including defensive backs Derek and Nathan Lindsey, tight end Marshall Musil, defensive lineman Brandon Walther and Joita Te'I - are among those who can step in right away.
"Overall, I thought it was a pretty good camp," Brown said. "I think our kids are a little bit farther ahead than we were last year. ...
"For the most part, I think our kids have done a great job and done what we have asked them to do."
Similar to last season, the first four games present a critical juncture. Three of the Tigers' goals are to go undefeated at home (they were 1-4 in 2011), have a winning MIAA record and reach the postseason. That will likely take no fewer than seven victories. Last season, FHSU opened 0-4 against four teams that spent most of the fall ranked, and then finished 5-2.
This year, the Tigers have the same slate of opponents: Emporia State, at Washburn University, home against Northwest Missouri State University and at Missouri Western State University. Northwest Missouri and Missouri Western are ranked in the top-five nationally, and Emporia State University is receiving votes after a 10-2 season last fall.
"It really comes down to how well we do these first four games," Brown said. "I think if our kids play well and do the things that we ask them to do, we could have a very successful season. If these first four games don't pan out the way we wanted, how are we going to bounce back from it, and play the next seven games?"
Last season, FHSU opened with a 41-18 loss at ESU. The home team has won nine of the last 11 meetings, including the last seven. Emporia State holds a 50-34-2 edge in the longest running rivalry between the two schools. The teams have met up 56 straight years and 18 times in Week 1; FHSU is 4-14 in such contests.
"It's always good to open up a home game," Andre Smith said. "First game at home with your crowd out there. We will go out there and put everything out there for them."
All-Region quarterback Tyler Eckenrode graduated, but sophomore Brent Wilson, who saw reserve action in nine games, steps in. Senior Ray Ray Davis has 111 catches for 1,439 yards in his last two years. Senior linebacker Jordan Sanders and senior safety Chris Poston are on preseason All-American lists.
"They have lost some kids," Brown said. "The kids that are behind them are just as good. They are very talented kids, very quick kids, very strong kids as well. They seem to play the game the way it is supposed to be played, fast and physical."

Our Verdict
It might look ungainly and cheap, but this Target's a gem when it comes to performance
Clear treble
punchy bass
fast timing
Cheap looks
Reviewed on
This rack is big and bulky and the rosewood finish looks, to our eyes, a little cheap. Still, it feels built to last and comes complete with integrated cable management.
And this Target has an ace up its sleeve: simple sonic ability.
Our reference system sounds superb sat atop this rack, with sweet, clear treble frequencies, punchy basslines and cohesive, fast, expertly timed delivery.
For pure performance, this is a winner at the price.

ATM (2012) movie review
Writer: Chris Sparling
Starring: Josh Peck, Alice Eve, Brian Geraghty
Rating: R
Synopsis: On a late night visit to an ATM, three co-workers end up in a desperate fight for their lives when they become trapped by an unknown man.
In my search for some brand-new horror, sometimes I turn to my favorite horror podcast: The Fearshop.com horror podcast (available free at iTunes, or through their Facebook page). The 2 hosts of the show, Frank and Mike, review movies of all decades. Mike was kind enough to inform me of ATM, a movie that is currently On Demand. As a warning, if after reading this review you head off to rent this, make sure you check the price. This is currently $9.99 per rental because it is available before it is even in theaters.
Obviously, one can determine from the synopsis that this is going to be a movie that has a small cast, and is at one main location. So if you are looking for a movie that has a thought provoking plot, many complex characters, and lots of beautiful scenery, you may want to pass on visiting ATM. The worst aspect of ATM is the story. This movie had the potential to be so much more, but it reminded me of some bad Swiss cheese due to all of the holes in the plot. Let me begin with the good…
I actually went fanboy when I saw Josh Peck was one of the stars. Before you roll your eyes, I have a son who loved Drake and Josh, the show that aired on Nickelodeon. I always considered Josh Peck to be a great young actor, he delivered his lines perfectly, whether comedic or serious. So it was nice to see him mature into such a handsome young man, I almost didn't recognize him. He played the role of Corey in the movie, a co-worker of the other 2 characters, who is a mooch, obnoxious, and arrogant. The guy you love to hate. He played it to perfection. Brian Geraghty plays David, who is smitten with a beautiful co-worker named Emily, who is played by Alice Eve. It begins innocently enough, Corey convinces David to ask Emily out, it is her last day at the office, and the Christmas party they are having that night will be the last time he sees her. Emily is trying to hail a taxi to leave, David gets enough balls to finally ask her out, and offers to take her home. Corey ends up bumming a ride, even though he lives in the other direction, and the trio head off. Being the constant pain in the ass, Corey wants to stop and get something to eat, but needs to stop by the ATM for a cash run. David obliges him, swings by the ATM, and then all hell breaks loose.
First, some people will have trouble believing the ATM location will be so barren. Let me say this: the area I live in is a cliche for horror movies. The town shuts down at 5, where I work you get NO cellphone service, and when you do, it's spotty at best. So I am used to the fact that ATM locations are in the dark, off the road, and frankly creepy as hell. There are still places like that out there, so this is something that can happen, not too much suspension of disbelief there. I mentioned the good part of the movie being the acting. This is where it becomes important. The story, even though a tad believable, causes you to curse the writer under your breath several times. These poor actors are doing the best they can, they make the characters completely believable, but their choices are thoroughly unbelievable. The killer is supposed to be menacing in his parka, but that outfit has been used a little too much in other horror flicks. At the end of this, we get a shot of the crowd, and everyone in the damn town has the same parka! It gets cold where I live, but there is a large variety of jackets people wear, for Pete's sake. But, I can overlook that. The actions of the killer, however, and the idiotic choices of the characters are unforgivable.
The atmosphere, on the other hand, was perfect. It made me feel as if I were with the characters in the dark, suffering with them in the biting cold. The movie itself was shot beautifully, it conveyed through it's imagery everything it needed to. That is what frustrated me so badly about ATM, the only thing missing was one of the most important aspects, a strong story. I keep pounding that point home, because it's impossible to get past it.
The ending of ATM is almost laughable, I hope and pray to the horror gods that there will be no sequel to this. I have no desire to learn more about the hooded killer, why he does what he does and where he will go next. I really feel that this could have been a great film, with some tweaks to the story. The poor actors, who acted their asses off in this, tried to do the best with what they were given. Kudos to them. ATM is a film I wish I would have waited for the DVD release of. This movie is worth at least a watch, but certainly not at theater price. If Josh Peck ever reads this, you are made for roles like this. Come to the dark side of cinema, my friend.
Rating: 5 out of 10 stars. Had there been for a better story, this could have easily been an 8. Such a shame.

2010 Cabernet Franc - Glacier Ridge Vineyards
Glacier Ridge Vineyards is a small, perfectly located and managed vineyard that lies along the eastern shore of Seneca Lake in the glacially formed Finger Lakes region. Cranberry, black cherry, and raspberry fruit combine with aromas of lavender and spice to produce a nose that is rich and ethereal. The palate is firm, but supple, with hints of vanilla and spice. Tastes great paired with pork tenderloin medallions sautéed with a garlic cherry glaze.
Vinification of this Cabernet Franc is straightforward and traditional using ripe, gently crushed fruit, 10% whole cluster inclusion, warm fermentations punched down frequently by hand, aging in a mix of new and older American oak (Canton Cooperage) barrels, and minimal racking and blending. The goal is to let the fruit express the structure, fruit and tannins that come from the vineyard.
2008 Vintage - Wine & Spirits Magazine - 90 Points
"This graceful franc has a savory note of white pepper and a soy note over lean red cherry fruit. The texture is its best feature - lithe and energetic, with a lot of tension - and suggests it may age nicely, too." (W&S - Patrick J. Comisky, August 2011)
2007 Vintage - Wine Spectator - 89 Points
"Fresh and ripe, with solid dark plum and blackberry fruit backed by well-integrated toast. Hints of bittersweet ganache and aged tobacco fill out the finish. Drink now through 2010." (WS - James Molesworth, 2009)
RS 0.4% ~ TA 6.2 g/l ~ pH 3.65 ~ Alc. 14.5%

Each year up to 900,000 Americans experience a DVT or deep vein thrombosis. That leads to some 300,000 deaths each year, according to the American Heart Association.
Newswatch 12 This Morning spoke live with NASCAR driver Brian Vickers about his own experience with blood clots. Vickers says a blood clot was found in his leg once in 2010, and again this past October.
A blood clot can travel from your legs to your lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. That is a serious, potentially life-threatening complication of DVT that doctors say can damage the lungs and other organs in the body.
Doctors say blood clots are often found among people who sit for long periods of time. Other risk factors include being overweight and having other medical issues like heart failure or cancer.
