Besides being one of the most successful managers, Jose Mourinho is also known for his outsbursts, controversial statements about other managers, and occasional violent actions. Here are some of those moments:
Photo: Especial Terra http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/mourinho-terra.jpgThe most recent case with Brazilian midfielder Kaka, who has already declared war on Real Madrid, because he was kept off the first team squad. The feud has reached the point that the Brazilian categorizes Mourinho as \"a bad person\".
Photo: AP http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/kakaap.jpgAnother of the most memorable outbursts was against Tito Vilanova, current coach of Barcelona, who Mourinho stuck a finger in the eye of during the final of the Supercopa of Spain, when Vilanova was assistant to Pep Guardiola. Vilanova forgave him, but the ex-Catalan president, Joan Laporta, considereded him a traitor for having attacked from behind.
Photo: Reproducción http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/titorepro.jpgBut Mourinho's controversial statements are nothing new, as demonstrated when his resume was criticized and he said, 'I have no resume? Who won the Champions League? It was me (with Porto). I am The Special One.'
Photo: Getty Images http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/declaracionesgetty.jpgIn 2006, when Mourinho was the manager at Chelsea, he said that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was too concerned with Chelsea. 'I think Wenger is a voyeur, he only talks about Chelsea,' Mourinho said.
Photo: Getty Images http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/wengergetty.jpgMourinho also said that Manchester United benefitted vfrom arbitration. Ferguson responded: 'I think Mourinho should sew his mouth shut.' The two later made peace.
Photo: Getty Images http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/fergusongetty.jpgAnother manager Mourinho had problems with was Rafa Benitez, who when he succeeded him at Inter, the Portuguese said: 'I thought he was going to thank me for the title I gave him,' referring to the Champions League.
Photo: Getty Images http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/benitezgetty.jpgAs the manager at Real Madrid, he accused Sporting Gijon of losing a match purposely to Barcelona. Gijón's manager, Manolo Preciado (pictured), said that Mourinho was a scoundrel and a bad person.'
Photo: Getty Images http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/preciadogetty.jpgMourinho's also had problems with the Barcelona players. When coaching at Chelsea, he gave Carles Puyol a 'friendly' slap in the face.
Photo: Getty Images http://images.terra.com/2012/08/28/puyolgetty.jpgOf course, Pep guardiola has also been a target of Mourinho's comments. When Barca won its first Champions League title under Pep Guardiola, Mourinho credited the referees, saying, 'He won a Champions League title I would have been ashamed to win.'

A must have!!!
By Jean, mama of 4
from Iowa
I thought the backpack was wonderful. Sadie is 2 and it fits perfect with room to grow. The inside isn't big, but too much weight and she'd fall over anyway. I think it is adorable and highly recommend it.

Adorable for a trip
By Jen, mom of 1
from Maine
We bought this for our 2 1/2 year old daughter for a recent trip. The straps that hold Stella are a little tight so you really have to mush her to get them fastened, and the backpack was just big enough for a juice cup and snack, which wasn't quite what I envisioned. Still she loved wearing it and looked sweet running through the airport with Stella bobbing behind.

Please join me in welcoming JeffH as our newest moderator.
SailNet is please to welcome forum member JeffH as our newest moderator.
JeffH is a seasoned sailor, highly knowledgable, lives near and sails out of Annapolis, Maryland. We have long admired JeffH's posts, demeanor, conduct and sailing knowledge and we are happy to welcome him aboard as our newest moderator. JeffH will be sharing moderator duties with forum member 'camaraderie' who has been doing an excellent job and we thank him very much too. Thanks, Jeff, Chris and the entire SailNet staff |
Congratulations, I've always enjoyed seeing Jeff's name come up on a thread. But if he's baby-sitting us, will he have time to write out the well written, thorough posts we're used to or will he get sucked into Giulietta's photoshop vortex?:)
Does this mean I have to start being nice to you? (smile) - CD |
Another good choice, and certainly an asset to Sailnet.
Hey Jeff...does this mean I can't delete your posts about light displacement boats anymore??<g>
Congrats and I look forward to the help!! |
Oh it is so unfare....accusing me...oh well....
Congratulations Jeff.. So...now.... all of those that don't like Farr are doomed :D :D :D And do we have to say the 40.7 is a good boat???:D :D |
Sorry Giu, I meant that in a good way:D
Welcome as sailnet's newest moderator Jeff. Cam is doing a great job, but IMHO, your technical sailing knowledge exceeds that of most who dare to post responses on these forums.
It will be interesting to find your tolerance level to the off-topic banter though. |
I appreciate the Laurel.....and hardy welcome! I can only say this is another fine kettle of fish I got myself into.
Cheers, Jeff |
Jeff may have lost his name tag, or I slept since his last post, but none the less, Congrads.
Fair Winds, Paul |

The Shoes of Instagram:
The Top Ten Accounts That You Need to Follow
We here at Running With Heels are big fans of all things Insta. When it comes to designers, Instagram is one of theread more
There are some times in life that you have to swallow your pride and choose comfort over couture, but that has never been the case for Crocs. Part healthcare and culinary profession staple, part footwear disgrace, Crocs' classic clogs have struggled to appeal to adults and teenagers that can no longer pull off the adorably awkward look that they might have so well during their childhood.
In the event that you just so happen to have a spare pair lying around the house, or are seeking to put a child's pair to rest for good, what better way to bid farewell than by serving it up with a side of fries?
If you haven't already heard, the clogs that everyone loves to hate are actually edible. Though consuming the mysterious, pseudo-rubber material might seem like a source of great bodily harm, those that have been brave enough to try eating Crocs have lived to tell the tale, and frankly that's good enough for us. As purveyors of all news shoes, we couldn't resist spreading these words of wisdom. If you ever find yourself hopelessly stranded and starving with a pair of these bad boys, you're welcome: we may or may not just have saved your life.
The reason behind this is Crocs' Croslite composition. Croslite is a trademarked, non-toxic resin that, like rubber, is highly shock absorbant. You might need to boil it until it is soft enough to cut, and sources suggest a cook time of around 20 minutes.
Crocsupmtion is not recommended, or even mentioned on the Crocs website, but we feel like a company Christmas party gone awry would provide the perfect opportunity for an office taste test. Don't expect much, but an edible shoe? Who knew?

Transcript | National Coming Out Day GLOBAL's on-campus event for National Coming Out Day at UH's Lynn Eusan Park featured public speakers and introduced many students to the organization. Photo by Heather Nicholson GLOBAL "Gayla" The first ever Coming Out Day dance, held at a popular downtown club, was a huge success for both GLOBAL and UH, as well as the start of a new yearly tradition. Photo by Kena Alvarado rang doors for everiyj Of S" en' GLOBAL rang The Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual Alliance, GLOBAL, served as the social, political, and support organization for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community and its supporters at the University of Houston. In the fall semester of 2002, GLOBAL was home to over forty members. Essentially, GLOBAL has been in existence for more than twenty years, even though the name has changed on a few occasions. GLOBAL provided support, answered questions, discussed problems, and hosted meet and greet events for many attendees. GLOBAL also provided forums for discussion about possible "actions on issues" related to the gay community on campus and in the Houston area. "I want to stress that GLOBAL invites people to come to meetings and events that might have some questions, or maybe doesn't understand where the GLOBAL community is coming from. I think that there are many people out there that think that our organization is strictly for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community, and this is NOT TRUE at all. We encourage all types of people to just come and check us out," stated sophomore economics ma- tllie iiau Lesbian Or iDisexiial All iance jor Amanda Gonzales, who is GLOBAL's vice president. On October 11, "National Coming Out Day," GLOBAL held a rally at Lynn Eusan Park which was attended by GLOBAL members, friends, family, and many of the group's supporters. That day, three new members "came out of the closet," which was exciting for the group. There were many motivational and community based speakers in attendance at that all day event. After the rally, GLOBAL hosted a "Gayla" dance at a downtown nightclub, where attendees danced the night away with smiles on their faces. "In my opinion, the most important part of the organization is the support team that GLOBAL provides. When someone'comes out', they usually experience a sense of isolationism. We are here to give them comfort and support, and let these individuals know that there are other people dealing with the same issues," stated GLOBAL's President, senior- biology major Leslie Hamilton. GLOBAL hosted multiple fund raising event s, i n- cluding bake sales, car washes, and barbecues. With the funds, GLOBAL made donations to the Houston Gay and Lesbian Community Center. - Dixie Ann Dalton Dance with me Far from only a political outlet or emotional support group, GLOBAL provided members with social activites that included potluck dinners, fund-raising car-washes, and get-togethers like the one shown here. Photo by Kena Alvarado Mmrmwimm GLOBAL President, Leslie Hamilton Vice President, Amanda Gonzales Secretary, Sara Sturtevant Pulic Relations, Jorge Diaz Treasurer Danny Spencer Web Site Committee Chairman, Theo Thourson Social Committee Chairman, Jesus Perez AIDS Awareness Day Sophomore economics major Amanda Gonzalez and freshamn communication disorders major Shandi Allen promoted AIDS awareness and protection, at the UC.

Series: The Dark TowerWorks (26)Related tagsRecommendations
Series descriptionRelated seriesRelated publisher seriesRelated book awardsRelated people/charactersRelated placesRelated eventsSeries?!How do series work?To create a series or add a work to it, go to a "work" page. The "Common Knowledge" section now includes a "Series" field. Enter the name of the series to add the book to it. Works can belong to more than one series. In some cases, as with Chronicles of Narnia, disagreements about order necessitate the creation of more than one series. Tip: If the series has an order, add a number or other descriptor in parenthesis after the series title (eg., "Chronicles of Prydain (book 1)"). By default, it sorts by the number, or alphabetically if there is no number. If you want to force a particular order, use the | character to divide the number and the descriptor. So, "(0|prequel)" sorts by 0 under the label "prequel." What isn't a series?Series was designed to cover groups of books generally understood as such (see Wikipedia: Book series). Like many concepts in the book world, "series" is a somewhat fluid and contested notion. A good rule of thumb is that series have a conventional name and are intentional creations, on the part of the author or publisher. For now, avoid forcing the issue with mere "lists" of works possessing an arbitrary shared characteristic, such as relating to a particular place. Avoid series that cross authors, unless the authors were or became aware of the series identification (eg., avoid lumping Jane Austen with her continuators). Also avoid publisher series, unless the publisher has a true monopoly over the "works" in question. So, the Dummies guides are a series of works. But the Loeb Classical Library is a series of editions, not of works.

After deciding what bike to buy, a quick search showed these to be the best price, with the advantage for me of providing low cost finance as well. Easy to place order; easy to sort finance online. Bike ordered on Thursday for Saturday delivery. The shop called Friday morning to say there was a minor issue with stock - they could get it to the shop on Monday for Tuesday delivery. Not a problem for me, the bike was indeed delivered on Tuesday.
Would recommend and would shop there again, perhaps ring to check stock though.

Okay so I was rooted and had koushes recovery bootstrap. I fried my sd card so I unrooted deleted the app and formatted my sd card. I am currently using a 2gb one to hole me over. Every time I boot up my phone it goes into recovery and I have to select reboot. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it? Sent from my DROID2 using DroidForums
There is a post in the d2 general section that might help you out Sent From The Zombie Who Has My DROID 2
You need to go into root explorer and delete the hijack file and change the logwrapper.bin file to just logwrapper. That will get rid of it. There is a thread on this though From my Liberated DROID2 at 1.25ghz

C'mon now, ever since you saw those furry little Ewoks cripple the Empire's 'best legion' of troops on that damn moon... you've wanted vengeance. LucasArts are providing us with another 'what if?' DLC scenario with Starkiller for The Force Unleashed II. It assumes you went all Dark Side, you scamp. "...we like to call this an "infinite storyline", much like the Hoth Bonus Mission from the first Force Unleashed game that gave us an alternate take on that iconic battle from the Empire Strikes Back," said LucasArts executive producer Gio Corsi. "As Gamers and fans of the Star Wars universe, the infinite storyline allows us a "what if" moment that scratches an itch by rolling the dice with established Star Wars characters or scenarios. It's a pretty sweet opportunity. And yes, there will be battles with Ewoks!" Right now this is the only DLC they're revealing, and LucasArts are likely waiting to see if enough interest can be drummed up with blasting little furry creatures about the forest first. "Who knows where the infinite storyline can take Starkiller, there are so many possibilities but right now we are focusing on the Endor Bonus Mission," he added. We get a new achievement/trophy called the 'Sith Kicker Achievement', "but I'll let you figure that one out for yourselves." The Endor Bonus Mission is"comparable in length to the add-ons from the first game." Why Dark Side? It's "a really cool avenue to explore." The Endor Bonus Mission releases "later this year" for Xbox 360 and PS3. |

Leather wrapped deception. This is pretty in appearance but fools the eye when examined. It is very cheaply made. The leather, whether it is faux or not is thin. It is adhered to the top, drawers and sides and is printed with a nice pattern of color. The leather tends to want to come off at the edges if this piece gets any sun so I don't suggest you put it near a window and it will most likely fade in strong daylight over time. With the intended character, one tends to want to put this in a place that gets light and people can see it, but I find myself making appologies for purchasing it. The drawers do not slide easily, were not sanded well on the top edge so small slivers are visible. The wood is extremely brittle!! I will have to resand the edges which will help the drawers to close easier as well. The drawers would not be trusted holding anything heavier than table linens or light clothing. If you want a piece that has nice lines and character ONLY at a glance, and have money to waste, then buy it , but if you want something that won't fall apart and disappoint down the road, I'd pass on this. This piece does not live up to it's price at all. This is the first furniture purchase I've been truly disappointed with from Overstock. I'd rewrite the item description to highlight "leather wrapped and let the customer know there are no metal runners for drawer slides. Rather be forthright than deceptive or remiss in giving a clearer description. There is too much competition out there.

Top Toddler Toys for Christmas
Christmas toy shopping for a 2-year-old or 3-year-old is a chance to look for toys that will help them learn and grow. That's because the best toddler toys will help your young children explore their world and expand their imaginations. And while these toys are important for development, they're also lots of fun. These are the toys toddlers will love to play with this Christmas.
Best Bookshelf Materials
It's not unusual for bookshelves to incorporate multiple materials for different features. If you haven't decided on wood, wood products, metal or glass bookshelves, look at their relative strengths and weaknesses. Look below to learn the best bookshelf materials. Wood: "Solid wood" is a common term for furniture made from lumber planks. Beware of making assumptions based on labels like "hardwood" and "softwood." Hardwoods are derived from deciduous trees and softwoods from coniferous trees; the terms don't connote their relative strengths. Balsa is a hardwood even though it is very soft, just as Douglas fir is a softwood even though it is very hard. They all make excellent, classic stock material for bookcases. Generally, harder woods are the heavier and more resistant to scratches. Still, softer woods, if treated correctly, will keep just as well as harder woods. Plywood: Made by stacking thin sheets -- "plies" -- of lumber and gluing them under pressure, plywood features grains that alternate direction for strength. Several grades are available, of differing cost. Top and bottom plies can be high-quality woods to create the appearance of fine woods, but edge veneer or molding is needed to complete the illusion. Particleboard: Wood chips glued together carry a much lower price tag than solid wood, and particleboard is denser and more uniform. It's a great choice when cost is the primary consideration. Bookshelves crafted from veneered composite boards can look and feel as good as real wood. MDF: Wood fibers, tiny chips and sawdust collected and glued into sheets form medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Low-cost MDF makes an excellent base for veneers; plus, its strength is consistent and it shapes well. Metal: There's a reason most library bookshelves are made from metal: Metal bookcases are resistant to moisture and fungus, their low-friction shelves are easier on books' bindings and metal's strength-to-weight ratio can't be beat. Their cost usually comes in below any other material. Glass: Glass bookshelves weigh more than other types, but if you plan on assembling your bookshelves only once, the style points can be well worth it. Tempered glass shelves (in wood or metal uprights, called "standards") give your home an unbeatable contemporary feel, and glass bookcases' smooth, transparent surfaces add brilliant levity to a decorating piece that might otherwise be notably opaque and heavy.

End Table Buying Guide
In the world of living room furniture, the sofa and coffee table might be the stars, but your end tables are important parts of the supporting cast. Without end tables, where would you put your lamps? Where would you set your drink? Where would you pile up the last week's worth of newspapers? End tables, also known as console tables, come in many shapes, sizes and styles. Whether you are looking for a traditional end table, round end table or basically any variety, this end table buying guide will show you how to buy end tables that will be just right for your home.
Entertainment Center Buying Guide
While your television set may be the focal point of your home entertainment activities, what it sits on -- or in -- says a lot about who you are. Is your TV still sitting atop that beaten up particle board TV stand that you bought at a garage sale 10 years ago? Perhaps it's time to upgrade your living room furniture, starting with a new entertainment center. Home entertainment centers have been around a long time and have evolved quite a bit from the massive wooden cabinets of the 1960s and 1970s. Which entertainment center is right for you will depend on what you want to use it for, the components you want it to store and your personal taste in furniture.
Best Bookshelves for Kids
Children's bookshelves and other kids' storage, as a rule, should be low to the ground. Furniture tip-overs have accounted for almost 15,000 childhood accidents each year from 1990 to 2007, according to the Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Children often reach for items on the top of bookshelves, causing tip-overs. With low-to-the-ground kids' storage, children can easily reach their favorite books without parents worrying about the furniture seriously injuring their child.
TV Stand Buying Guide
Lately, television consoles, stands and storage racks have been exhibiting updated designs, sporting storage for your media essentials in models that are tastefully coordinated to the rest of your living room furniture. Compact TV stands and corner TV stands are convenient in smaller apartments, dorm rooms and offices, but even large homes can benefit from the clean look and discreet presence of a television stand. As more people upgrade to lean flat-panel televisions, they are seeing that the smaller size of a TV stand is all they need. The furniture industry usually reserves the term "entertainment center" for the largest TV furniture, big enough for the television, a cadre of audio or video components and a full CD-DVD collection. TV stands tend to be smaller than full entertainment centers while still having enough shelves for a few components and some media storage. For smaller homes or for smaller rooms in larger homes a stand may be all the TV furniture you need.
Bookshelves Buying Guide
Despite the name, bookshelves are about more than just shelving books. Bookshelves make versatile solutions as free-standing dry food pantries, open dressers or displays dedicated to your knick-knacks and tchochkes. They quickly convert into china cabinets, media organizers or shoe storage. Whatever the case, the right bookcase goes miles toward making your home into the haven it should be.
Dresser Buying Guide
One of the key pieces of bedroom furniture is a dresser. Dressers not only hold your clothes, but they can also enhance your bedroom decor. A chest of drawers can add unique style and taste to your bedroom. Before you select a set of dresser drawers, you'll want to think about the style, size and material that will suit your bedroom. The right bedroom furniture stores your many outfits while keeping your bedroom organized, tidy and fashionable.

Fact Sheet on Armoires
For hundreds of years, armoires have been a popular piece of bedroom furniture for their distinguished French style, sturdy construction and flexible use. Armoires continue to gain popularity and have moved steadily from the bedroom into every room in the house as TV armoires, computer armoires and jewelry armoires. How did this all start? Take a look on how this ever popular and beautiful piece of furniture got its start and developed into the modern armoire.
How to Choose the Right Wardrobe for Your Bedroom
Picking out the right wardrobe for the bedrooms in your home is an important decision. Considering wardrobes are one of the most used pieces of furniture in the home, you should make sure to pick out ones that are functional and match your personal sense of style. Whether you think an armoire or a chest of drawers would be best for your home, here are a few tips to make sure you pick out the best wardrobe for your bedrooms.
Tips on Different Types of Jewelry Boxes
Keeping your jewelry safe and in good condition requires quality jewelry storage. Jewelry boxes feature a variety of designs; some are dainty keepsake boxes and some jewelry armoires are as large as your bedroom furniture. What type of jewelry case or jewelry organizer is right for you? It depends on the size of your jewelry collection and what kind of jewelry storage needs you have. A jewelry armoire is ideal for keeping a group of chains tangle-free, but a small jewelry box or chest can adequately store a large group of rings. As you update and expand your jewelry collection, you'll want to update your jewelry organizer system to match. Jewelry cases feature a variety of styles. Many are beautiful furniture accessories made of oak, rosewood and other fine woods and inlaid with mahogany or mother of pearl. Others have the classic travel-case design, with a carrying handle and leather or fabric exteriors. Use this guide to choose a jewelry box for your collection.

The Perfect Disaster were an alternative rock band from London, England, formed in 1980; they released four albums before splitting up in 1991. The only constant member was singer/guitarist Phil Parfitt.
The first incarnation of the band was named Orange Disaster, with Parfitt joined by Ken Renny (bass), and Alison Pate (guitar).[1] This line-up released a seven-inch EP called "Somethings Got To Give" on Neuter Records, Catalogue Number OD 01. Often mislabeled as 1982 - the release date that is given on the labels is 1.9.1980 (1 September 1980). After this they changed their name to The Architects of Disaster. Parfitt was then joined by Tony Pettitt (bass), Nod Wright (drums) and Paul Wright (guitar). This line-up disbanded, having released one single, "Cucumber Sandwich"/"Friendly Fire." Nod Wright and Tony Pettit then left to form Fields of the Nephilim, with Parfitt recruiting Grant Davidson (bass) and later John Saltwell (bass), Dan Cross (guitar), and Malcolm Catto (drums).[1] They returned in 1984 as The Perfect Disaster, with an eponymous debut album issued on the French Kampa label in 1985. In 1987, the band signed to Glass Records, which reissued their debut album, and followed it with a twelve-inch EP later that year. There were further line-up changes when Saltwell and Pate departed, replaced by multi-instrumentalist Josephine Wiggs. The band moved on to Fire Records, releasing the Asylum Road album in 1988. Catto also left, with Phil Outram and Martin Langshaw joining for their third album, Up, which reached number fifteen on the UK Indie Chart, and saw the band touring with The Jesus and Mary Chain.[2][3] In 1989, Wiggs left to join The Breeders, with Saltwell returning. In 1990, the band issued the Rise EP, and a final album, Heaven Scent, before splitting up the following year.[1]

In a sharp attack, former Minister M Veerappa Moily who succeeded Natarajan as Minister for Environment, called her an "opportunist".
AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi has gone on a sabbatical "for a few weeks" to reflect upon recent events and the future of Congress.
Rubbishing the allegations, M Veerappa Moily, who succeeded Natarajan in the Ministry, said Rahul Gandhi had never interfered in the functioning of the ministry.
"A trend towards higher savings in turn would also have some positive impact on the ballooning fiscal deficit," the committee said in its report.
This is possibly the first instance of AI flight crew taking a stand on not waiting for a dignitary running behind schedule to take off in time.
Recently Finance Ministry Arun Jaitley had said the government was considering doing away with the LPG subsidy for the well-off people.
Congress Veerappa Moily said that Companies Act Bill should be referred to Standing Committee to re-examine it before the amendments are brought out.
It further said efforts should be made to extend the geographic coverage of banks and improve access to banking services through new licences.

London Design Museum's Design of the Year: Heydar Aliyev Center / Zaha Hadid Architects
Zaha Hadid's Heydar Aliyev Center has beaten out seven shortlisted designs to win London Design Museum's Designs of the Year Awards. The shortlisted proposals - from a portable eye examination kit to Volkswagen's XL1 CAR – will remain on view at the museum through August 25.
Not only is Ms. Hadid the first woman recipient in the Awards' seven year history, but the center is the first architecture project to be lauded: "It's beautiful, it's inspiring, it's the clear vision of a singular genius and we thought it was a remarkable piece of work," jury member Ekow Eshun noted.
Other nominated architecture projects included: NLE Architects' Makoko Floating School, The Turbulences FRAC Centre by Jakob + Macfarlane Architects, and the interior remodeling of the St. Moritz Church by John Pawson. See more stunning images of the Heydar Aliyev Center here.
Zaha Hadid Officially Signed Up For Iraq Parliament Job
Zaha Hadid has now officially signed a deal to design the Iraq Parliament building in Baghdad, despite only coming third in the original design competition. BD Online reports that Hadid attended a signing ceremony held at the Iraqi Embassy in London last month, finally bringing a close to the controversial process.
The original competition run by the Royal Institute of British Architects at the request of the Iraqi Government was won by Assemblage, however shortly after the win it became apparent that the Iraqi Council of Representatives had other ideas, as they remained in discussion with Hadid's Practice. Under the rules of the competition, the client is under no obligation to follow through with the winning design.

Zaha Hadid and SOM Among 5 Competing to Design Scandinavia's Tallest Tower
Zaha Hadid Architects, SOM, Ian Simpson Architects, Manuelle Gautrand Architects, and Wingårdhs Arkitektkontor are all competing to design what will be the tallest tower in Scandinavia. Submitted anonymously, the five shortlisted proposals have just been unveiled by Serneke, who has envisioned the skyscraper as an integral piece to a larger 32,000 square meter mixed-use masterplan in Gothenburg that has been in the making for more than ten years.

Japanese Architect Launches Second Petition Against Zaha Hadid's Tokyo Stadium
Tokyo-based architect Edward Suzuki has launched another petition against Zaha Hadid's design for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Stadium, claiming it is "overwhelmingly large for the context" and "will desecrate the 'sacred grounds' of Meiji Shrine Outer Gardens". This is the second petition against the design and is intended to support the earlier petition by Toyo Ito and Fumihiko Maki by providing an equivalent targeted primarily at English speakers, aiming to "pressure our government not only from within but also from outside of our country." You can see the petition in full here.
Toyo Ito and Fumihiko Maki Petition Against Zaha Hadid's Tokyo Olympic Stadium
Though it seemed a compromise was met last October, when Japan's minister of education, Hakubun Shimomura announced plans to reduce the cost and scale of the Zaha Hadid-designed Tokyo Olympic Stadium, the debate rages on.
Pritzker laureates Toyo Ito and Fumihiko Maki have launched an online petition to "defend the ginko tree-lined landscape of blue sky and Jingu Outer Gardens" from the construction of Hadid's "oversized" stadium.
The petition (now with more than 13,000 signatures) urges the Japan Sports Council, who hand selected Hadid's winning design alongside Tadao Ando, to reconsider upgrading the existing Meiji Jingo Gaien Stadium and the gardens surrounding it. This solution, they believe, is a more affordable and sustainable alternative that would prevent the relocation of nearby residents.

Zaha Hadid Designs "City of Dreams" Hotel Tower in Macau
Zaha Hadid Architects has designed a 40-story luxury hotel for Macau's premier leisure and entertainment destination known as "City of Dreams." Perceived as a single "sculptural element" united by an exposed exoskeleton mesh structure, the "simple volume" was extruded from its rectangular site as two towers connected at the podium and roof levels, with two organically-shaped bridges punctuating the tower's center external void. This central void is then celebrated by a 40-meter tall, "grandiose atrium" that greets visitors as they enter the hotel.

Will Internet Kill the Architect Star?
After the controversial lampooning of Zaha Hadid's Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar, Anthony Flint of the Atlantic Cities casts a critical eye over how the internet, and the swarms of would-be architecture critics that reside there, have changed the way that buildings are designed. Tracking the trend for this form of criticism from Le Corbusier's "two pianos having sex" (aka the Carpenter Centre at Harvard) to the hyper-reactive culture of modern online criticism today, he looks at how architects – and PR companies – are responding.

Museum Round Up: The Box is Back
In a recent article for the Denver Post, Ray Rinaldi discusses how the box is making a comeback in U.S. museum design. Stating how architecture in the 2000's was a lot about swoops, curves, and flying birds – see Frank Gehry and Santiago Calatrava - he points out the cool cubes of David Chipperfield and Renzo Piano. We've rounded up some of these boxy works just for you: the Clyfford Still Museum, the Kimbell Art Museum Expansion, The St. Louis Art Museum's East Building, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien's Barnes Foundation, and Shigeru Ban's Aspen Art Museum. Each project begins to show how boxes can be strong, secure, and even sly. Check out more about the article here.

U-17 MNT Kicks Off 2015 CONCACAF U-17 Championship Today
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras – The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team kicks off the 2015 CONCACAF U-17 Championship (Feb. 27 to March 12) today at 5 p.m. ET. The USA has been drawn with host Honduras, Cuba, Guatemala, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago in Group A.
The U.S. opens against Cuba today at 5 p.m. ET, followed by Trinidad & Tobago (March 2), Guatemala (March 5), Honduras (March 8) and Jamaica (March 11). All of the USA's group matches will be broadcast on FOX Sports 2, with the exception of its March 8 game against Honduras, which will be on FOX Soccer Plus. Fans can also follow on Twitter @ussoccer_ynt.
The tournament, which takes place at two venues: Estadio Francisco Morazán for all Group A matches, and Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano for all Group B matches, the two Playoff games and the title match, will qualify four teams to the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile this October.
On Feb. 24, U-17 MNT head coach Richie Williams named a 20-player roster for the 2015 CONCACAF U-17 Championship.
U.S. U-17 MNT Roster by Position: Detailed Roster
GOALKEEPERS (2): William Pulisic (Richmond United), Kevin Silva (Players Development Academy)
DEFENDERS (7): Tyler Adams (New York Red Bulls Academy), Hugo Arellano (LA Galaxy Academy), Daniel Barbir (West Bromwich Albion), Tanner Dieterich (Real Salt Lake AZ), John Nelson (Internationals), Matthew Olosunde (New York Red Bulls Academy), Alexis Velela (San Diego Surf)
MIDFIELDERS (5): Eric Calvillo (Real So Cal), Luca de la Torre (Fulham), Thomas McCabe (Players Development Academy), Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund), Alejandro Zendejas (FC Dallas)
FORWARDS (6): Pierre da Silva (Orlando City Academy), McKinze Gaines (Lonestar SC), Joe Gallardo (Monterrey), Josh Perez (Unattached), Brandon Vazquez (Club Tijuana), Haji Wright (Unattached)
Qualifying Format Change: The CONCACAF U-17 Championship format has changed for 2015 with two groups of six teams. Previous tournaments had featured four groups of three teams. Under the new setup (which was also implemented earlier this year in the CONCACAF U-20 Championship), the first-place teams in Group A and Group B will automatically qualify for the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup and advance to face each other in the CONCACAF U-17 Championship Final. The second- and third-place teams in each group (four teams) will be reseeded based on group-stage results. In this playoff stage, the top seed will play the No. 4 seed and the second seed will face the No. 3 seed. The two winners from these respective games will also qualify for the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
Eyes on Chile 2015: The U.S. has qualified in 14 FIFA U-16 or U-17 World Championships, which ties for the most appearances with Brazil. The 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup was the only occurrence in which the USA did not qualify for this tournament. The USA's best performance was a fourth-place finish at the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship in New Zealand. Landon Donovan earned the Golden Ball, which honors the tournament's MVP.

USA Opens CONCACAF U-17 Championship against Cuba
The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team faces Cuba in Group A play to open the 2015 CONCACAF U-17 Championship on Friday, Feb. 27, at 6 p.m. ET. The match, which takes place at Estadio Francisco Morazan in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, will be shown live on FOX Sports 2. Four teams from the tournament will qualify directly to the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile.
Here is a breakdown of the USA's previous encounters with Cuba in this event:
- The USA is 5-0-2 in the all-time series against Cuba in this tournament.
- The series started with the USA defeating Cuba 1-0 on Nov. 25, 1988, in the final round of the 1988 CONCACAF U-16 Championship. The USA and Cuba, as well as Canada, advanced out of the group to qualify for the 1989 FIFA U-16 World Championship.
- The U.S. and Cuba met twice in the 1991 CONCACAF U-16 Championship, drawing 1-1 in Group 2 on March 28, followed by the USA's 1-0 victory in the final round on April 2 in Port of Spain, Trinidad. It was the USA's only win in the final round, but it was enough as the U.S., Cuba and Mexico advanced to the 1991 FIFA U-17 World Championship.
- On Aug. 23, 1992, the USA defeated Cuba 2-0 in the final round of the 1992 CONCACAF U-16 Championship. With its second consecutive win, combined with a draw between Mexico and Canada, the U.S. leapfrogged Mexico to win the tournament.
- The USA and Cuba tied 1-1 in Group A of the 2005 CONCACAF U-17 Tournament, which proved to be the only small setback for the U.S., which won its group with a 2-0-1 record.
- The USA's most lopsided win against Cuba was on the shortened 2009 CONCACAF U-17 Championship, opening the tournament with a 5-0 win on April 21. Jack McInerney scored two goals and assisted two others. Luis Gil added a goal and set up both McInerney goals, and Stefan Jerome's opening goal proved to be the game-winner. The U.S. won Group A with a 3-0-0 record. The event in Tijuana was then canceled because of a swine flu outbreak. The four semifinalists advanced to the FIFA U-17 World Cup: Group A winner USA, Group A runner-up Honduras, Group B winner Mexico and Group B runner-up Costa Rica.
