The signing of Hossa by the Blackhawks coincided with the departure of the team’s leading scorer and MVP from the previous season. With Antoine Winfield headed to free agency, the Vikings address their cornerback situation with Kyle Wilson. The 140 and 147 pounds divisions are deep and full of big names. The criticism with Carter isn’t that he can’t do what he did against the Cavs, but that he doesn’t do that enough. At 29, West is in the prime of his career, and for all we know he could wind up among the Alonzo?s, Baron?s, and Mugsey?s of Hornet lore.But for now, I think David is just happy being David.For your viewing enjoyment, the greatest forwards in Hornets history..

He also missed three prime seasons (age 27-29) while serving time in the military during WWII.As noted on the back of this 1958 Topps card, Slaughter won four World Series championships two each with the Cardinals and the Yankees. The Bulls will be Law’s 4th team in 3 seasons, plus is third team this season Acie was the 11th pick in the draft 2 seasons ago. Quinn started getting on the field regularly during his freshman year of 2005, but he really started contributing seriously in 2006. Not because of who might win or what will go on in the game, but because apparently Reggie Bush has said he is going to propose to Kim Kardashian if the Saints win.With one of the hottest WAGs in sports so prominently involved in this year’s Super Bowl, I thought it would be a good idea to look back at past WAGs involved in the big game.

No one can steal first.  And Crawford has proved he can get on base whereas Gardner is not certain.Jason Werth would be an incredible upgrade over Nick Swisher in right field. Jessie Vetter kept a clean sheet, turning away all 23 shots on goal by Finland.The win closes Group B play with the United States at the top of the table with a 3-0 record. However, most of these records will be passed in five to six years. Jim Brown would be very high on everyone’s list because I’m pretty sure he would have beensuccessful no matter when he played.But we can’t say the same about Manning. But I’d rather get 2 years out of skeletor than wait 5 years for Lucas to figure out on which side of the line the ball should be.That’s all I’m saying this 18th of February 2010. Although he had a rough, three INT outing against the Saints, (who capped a Super Bowl win with a rare pick six on Peyton Manning) he still produced two productive games during McNabb’s absence.He’s accurate with his throws and with more experience, he’s only going to get better I see him being the Eagles starting QB next season.

Velasquez, another Arizona State two-time All-American wrestler, will have his biggest fight to date and his first UFC headliner.He is 7-0 in his MMA career with six TKO?s and has a great skill set, especially for the heavyweight division.One problem with his abilities is that Nogueira is one of the best heavyweights on the ground in the history of MMA. This included newfangled and revolutionary equipment, such as the ‘muscle developer’, which looks very strange now but helped to improve players’ strength and balance.Within the game itself, Chapman introduced the “third back game,” also known as the WM formation because of the shape it made. It won’t be smoking or jaw-dropping, but you won’t be able to really complain with the the overall profile in the end. All three players arecoming off excellent years, and more continuity can only help things.Ginnhasn’t been the most consistent returner and has shown a propensity forrunning out of bounds and avoiding the big hit, but there’s no denyinghis speed and athleticism. He actually tried hard, but he never seemed to understand the offense or proper defensive rotations. Speaking of the future, this summer will be anotheroff season of will Brett Favre return or won’t he.Free agency will have teams searching for their Drew Brees to lead them to a championship. In the five seasons between 1993-98, the Jazz were knocked out of the playoffs by teams that went on to claim the Championship title four times.The sole exception during that span came against a Supersonics team led by a piquing Gary Payton that met Jordan?s Bulls in the Finals and managed to give them two of their three total postseason losses.Stockton owns the highest number of assists per 48 minutes in the history of the game with 13 and is fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio with 3.46 to 1.

Robinson has taken As You Like It, reduced the cast to just Orlando, Celia and Rosalind, added a few blues songs, played fast and loose with the dialogue, and relocated it to what appears to be a building site She’s also turned it into a love triangle. The pair are so emotionally close to each other that, when Rosalind is expelled from court, Celia tells her that “thou and I are one”. Here, though, there’s little sense of that closeness, or of how Rosalind’s love for Orlando threatens to destroy it, and even her tortured outburst to Rosalind, “You have simply misused our sex in your love prate”, becomes little more than a momentary strop.From one extreme to another: if the BAC As You Like It begs the question “How little attention to the sub-text can you get away with in Shakespeare?”, Wicked Bastard of Venus (Southwark Playhouse) demands “How much?”.The answer seems to be “a lot”, if you’re as inventive as Julie-Anne Robinson. But the way Brewis fights shy of anything remotely resembling a sub-text has its price, and nowhere more so than in the relationship between Celia and Rosalind. Julia Barrie’s Rosalind is of the type Michael Billington once called “the hoydenish thigh-slapper who looks as if she’s feverishly awaiting the arrival of Dick Whittington’s cat”; Orlando tries to strangle his brother early on, but makes up for it by being squeaky clean thereafter; and Jacques (played by Peter Pacey as Arden’s answer to Reggie Perrin) is more waggish than melancholy.
None of which is necessarily a bad thing: nothing wrong, after all, with a jolly Arden, and this production does have the tremendous benefit of clarity.

There is nothing remotely dark about Peter Brewis’s production. Peter Brewis’s As You Like It (BAC) has a deceptive beginning. In Oliver’s orchard, a single red apple hangs in the air, immediately to be plucked and eaten. Charles the Wrestler plonks his huge frame down on to a child’s chair The tone is sinister, the set likewise. Veiny tree roots creep out from one corner of the stage but, this apart, Arden resembles not so much a forest as an ocean, all sea greens and blues, with a whirlpool of squirls centre- stage

Well, perhaps you can read too much into a design. A lot of the philosophy is gone, but the basics are there quite strongly.”They’re also conspicuously absent from the down-market sequel to War and Peace published in Russia earlier this year.

The surprise, given these unwelcome resonances, is that most adaptations of Tolstoy’s novel save time by ignoring its historical theories. “The opera house is not a place for theorising,” says Sir Edward. With Leningrad under siege the same year, Prokofiev was encouraged to stress the novel’s patriotic elements. To his 11-scene piano score he added heroic marches, arias and choruses, shifting the focus from the domestic scenes that will be played up by Edmundson’s adaptation.

Jackson Doc Conrad Murray admits giving the singer several drugs prior to death.

Goldie Hawn and daughter Kate Hudson are mirror images of each other.

From Lee Dixon’s long throw, Tony Adams headed on to Schwarz, who missed his kick in front of goal. He provided, however, only occasional creativity, and neither does he look likely to take any of the scoring burden from Wright.The first two minutes saw Schwarz’s game exemplified. Only when Manolo came on in the second half was Seaman troubled, twice saving well from the Spanish international striker.At least there was encouragement for them in the competent Schwarz, who fits fully the Graham cut-out-and-keep midfield player, embodying neatness and industry. Kevin Campbell, meanwhile, again indulged by George Graham at the start of the season, had little in common with Wright apart from a shaven head.Atletico Madrid had come from a match the previous day in Spain against Aston Villa and rested their World Cup players: Jose Luis Caminero, Argentina’s Diego Simeone and Mexico’s Luis Garcia. Their only other figure capable of ingenuity, Merson, looks as forlorn as he had at the end of last season.

In their play, however, they lacked just that, apart from Wright. Excitement and the mood of the World Cup is clearly to be found elsewhere in north London, at this time of year at least.After years of betrayal, the new, simplified Arsenal kit they displayed recalls their heritage, the hooped socks adding a touch of class. Manolo and Benitez’s goals made a competition of it but Paul Merson and then, fittingly, Ian Wright converted to end a scrappy contest. David Hillier and Arsenal’s new signing for pounds 1.8m from Benfica, the Swede Stefan Schwarz, also missed. After a goalless 90 minutes, they had to come through another of the penalty shoot-out abominations, beating a weak Atletico Madrid 3-2, thanks to three excellent saves from David Seaman, to reach the final of the Makita Tournament they are hosting this weekend.
In today’s final they play Napoli, who beat the holders, Chelsea, 2-0 in an ill-tempered match that saw the Italians’ new signing from Marseille, the promising young Frenchman, Alain Boghossian, sent off.For a while it looked as if it might be their customary 1-0 in Arsenal’s shoot-out as Lee Dixon scored and Seaman saved from De La Sagra, Kosecki and Esteban. THE STRIP has changed – for the better – but Arsenal remain a tease when it comes to eking out results One-nil to the Arsenal? That was exaggerating it a bit

In fact, it was 0-0 to Arsenal. Klinsmann revealed that he enjoyed the game a lot, that he is going to enjoy the heavy programme, and that he is going to enjoy the cold weather.Asked if he thought there would be harder games than this, he showed that his mastery of the English football cliche is coming along well, too ‘There is no easy game any more.’(Photograph omitted).

Thank you, Mr Sugar.There were no great shocks at the post-match press conference. The fans certainly rate him – as he left the pitch they mobbed him and, heavens alive, ran their fingers through his hair.Will he settle in the team? It looked good yesterday, though clearly no one is quite sure yet who will run alongside him up front But he doesn’t half make you look forward to next season. Miller’s save was positively classy.You can’t honestly say on the evidence of one warm afternoon in Watford whether he really is the inspired buy that Tottenham need to write off that six-point deficit and mount a challenge at the top. It would have been good to report that Klinsmann then clinched his first game for the club with a winning goal, but about the closest he got was in the 80th minute when Barmby put him through but his shot from the right rolled just wide.And just before the final whistle he sent a marvellous header from the left spiralling towards the net. Jurgen who?It was coming up to 20 minutes after the restart when Spurs equalised through Sheringham. It was the most amazing shot, too, from more than 30 yards, in off the bar. Funny game, football.Even funnier, if you weren’t a Spurs supporter that is, was that when Watford went ahead in the 35th minute the scorer, Richard Johnson, was a player who had once been on trial at Spurs and had been spurned.

Between the sticks in a pre-season friendly with Fulham on Wednesday, then saving a bender from Klinsmann yesterday. Efforts to rope in other new talent such as Stefan Effenberg, Marcio Santos and Phil Babb have come to nothing, though there was mounting speculation about the stoat that scuttled across the pitch just before kick-off.The game was just 10 minutes old when Klinsmann executed his first recorded fall of the season, though it was pretty tame stuff, as he merely slipped while trying to get in a cross.Incidentally, he was wearing the No 18 shirt, which must come as some relief to Teddy Sheringham, whose squad number – 10 – was on Klinsmann’s back when he appeared at a Spurs press conference on Thursday.Watford had a new signing of their own to trumpet – the goalie Kevin Miller, who had been sprung from Birmingham in a pounds 250,000 deal. Ilie Dumitrescu was still back in Romania, sorting out his family. When was the last time you saw a very expensive footballer stop to sign autographs on his way out of the tunnel?Klinsmann was the only one of Ossie’s new big signings on show.

How long is that Seventies hair-do going to last in the cut and thrust of British football hairstyling? How would the Tottenham faithful greet this new Spur who up until now has been one of the most demonised players on the world stage? With a standing ovation, was the answer.He is obviously determined to make a good impression. The office equipment store in the Vicarage Road shopping precinct was flogging Klinsmann T-shirts at pounds 9.99 or two for pounds 15, and the stands were chocker with Spurs supporters.Klinsmann’s appearance for the pre-match warm-up prompted some big questions. By 2.45 they had to put back the kick-off to 3.15 because so many fans were still piling in. The Tottenham team bus deposited him outside the directors’ entrance, where his first sight of one of our footballing citadels was a row of garages with corrugated iron sides and some dustbins full of abandoned kit.
What had originally been planned as a nice little pre-season friendly with 6,000 bums on seats if Watford were lucky turned out to be a mega-earning capacity-crowd situation.

‘Eventually, he drove back down the drive and stayed in his car for a long time before venturing out,’ Mr Yarnold recalls with a chuckle. The majority of his competitors were in disarray, so much flotsam and jetsam in his wake.

It was great to see an article clearly written by someone who had great admiration and respect not just for Kurt Cobain, but for the band and the music.

His strategy – concentrating his forces in the south instead of the northern states where Congress has lost ground to the National Front – now looks misguided. Not only may Congress lose, but Mr Rao, by crushing all adversaries within his party, may have shattered Congress for years to come.Amid the thousands of candidates are several bandits, Bombay film stars and even a eunuch named after Kali, the goddess of destruction. Seven of Mr Rao’s ministers were forced to resign and all were denied party tickets for the May elections. They want to kick out Coca-Cola, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the other brand names which to them symbolise all that is wrong with the West.Many of the country’s top politicians are facing charges in a huge corruption scandal. Few doubt that the police investigation was triggered by Mr Rao, since the victims are his biggest rivals both inside and outside his Congress party. Health experts consider 65 per cent of all Indian children under the age of five to be malnourished.Mr Rao is committed to liberalising India’s economy.

But his leftist and right-wing foes are trying to persuade voters that Mr Rao’s reforms have gone too far, too fast and have failed to lift India’s poor out of misery. Both the BJP and the National Front claim that if elected, they will restrict foreign investment to power and infra-structure. With nearly 50 births every minute, India’s population growth is the highest in the world. This has eroded the advances made by the Congress government’s economic reforms; yearly income has dropped from $330 (pounds 215) in 1991 to $290 in 1993. Over 40 per cent of India’s 920 million people live in poverty.Ignored, too, in the electoral fray is the fact that India spends only $9 a year per person on education and one dollar on health.

None of the parties is willing to confront urgent issues such as India’s booming population or its poverty. If this forecast proves true, India faces the unsettling prospect of a hung parliament, or a coalition government patched together between one of the big three parties and the rowdy regional ones.Like the gymnasium wrestler intent on grinding his opponent’s face in the mud, the politicians have lost sight of any goal beyond their own personal victory. Gains by the BJP and the leftist coalition are expected to reduce Congress’s share to less than 200 parliamentary seats. Both are joining a breakaway party led by another Congressman, GK Moonapar, who described Ms Jayalalitha as “undemocratic, fascist and corrupt”.An opinion poll conducted by Outlook magazine showed that although Congress is expected to win most seats in the 545-member Lok Sabah, or lower house, Mr Rao’s party will be flailing to reach a majority.

The Congress party’s leader, premier Narasimha Rao, 74, yesterday was left staggering after the resignation of two cabinet ministers – P Chidambaram of commerce, and M Arunachalam in charge of industry. Both men were vital to Mr Rao’s campaign in the southern states, and Mr Chidambaram was also a leading architect behind the government’s economic reforms.The two ministers are from Tamil Nadu and were angered by Mr Rao’s pact with the state’s chief minister, a preening ex-film actress named Jayalalitha. The battle among the three main parties – the ruling Congress party, the right-wing Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the leftist coalition, the National Front – is expected to be closely fought and dirty.All parties have been hit by last-minute defections, Congress the worst. Or, when all else fails, gangs of these wrestlers are hired to steal the ballot boxes on election day.In this free-for-all general election, to be held next month, the service of these rent-a-goons is much in demand.

One of the first trips that any Indian politician makes during his election campaign is to the nearest akhara, the gymnasium of wrestlers. There, from among the muscled and oiled youths grappling in thick mud, the politician will chose his campaign staff.More crucial than speechwriters or spin doctors, the wrestler acts as the Indian politician’s bodyguard and his bullying enforcer who gets out the vote through bribes, threats and free booze. His last victim however was a California timber executive, killed opening a mailbomb in his Sacramento office on April 24, 1995.The first of the Unabomber’s 16 attacks was in May 1978 in Chicago. Only once was he sighted, just before a bombing near a computer store in Salt Lake City.Along the way he has developed into a skilful amateur chemist and bombmaker. His earlier devices were primitive but in the most recent cases elaborate bombs, about the size of a videocassette, have been his trademark, sometimes coming with his unofficial signature “FC”.That too was the term he used to describe himself (in the plural) in the published tract. But investigators have never believed that the Unabomber was anything other than a single individual..

North Peckham also has a severe HIV problem.Mrs Johnston, 62, said: “The rest of us can’t go round wearing gloves all the time. We have three grandchildren who often come to visit us, and we have been dreadfully worried about all these needles.”I was having a moan at a chap from the council, and he said, ‘Don’t worry, we shall really be cleaning up this place’. What happened to that boy was terrible, but why does it need such a death for them to do what should be their duty?”Council workers support the views of the residents. A cleaner outside the block where Damilola bled to death said: “This estate was never much of a priority, partly because what is left of it will get pulled down, so I think there was a feeling of ‘Why bother?’ I have certainly never seen so much activity by us in the past.”The worker also claimed that the residents should do much more to help themselves, and that some were to blame for the state of the area.Pointing to the rows of new, low-rise houses with gardens, which have replaced some of the tenement blocks in the estate, he said: “I know a lot of people who would love to have properties like that, but even in some of those places you see the rubbish being dumped outside, you see broken windows They can’t blame the council for that, can they?”.

The burglars stole the keys to a Range Rover belonging to her fiancée, film director Guy Ritchie, along with other personal items before driving off in the £35,000 car.On Wednesday, the 42-year-old singer had made a triumphant return to the British stage, with a packed concert at Brixton Academy.Just a few weeks ago the American star revealed that she preferred living in London, where she rents the £3m north Kensington mansion, because she felt safer in the capital than in Los Angeles.It is believed the singer, along with Mr Ritchie, 36, and her children, three-month-old Rocco and Lourdes, 4, were asleep upstairs when the raiders broke in, although the police were unable to confirm this last night. However, a Scotland Yard source said that no one was hurt in the raid.”Police were called by the occupiers of the house at 4am.

Some items were taken from the address including a set of car keys which were then used to steal a Range Rover parked in the street outside,” she said.The car was recovered in West London later that morning and has been sent for forensic examination. A CID team from Notting Hill, headed by Detective Inspector Chris Watts, is investigating the burglary..

He sentenced Andrew Goulden, 17, Daniel Ekeledo, 18, and Gavin Makin, 16, to four years’ youth custody. All three admitted robbery and having an imitation firearm.Another boy, 17 – whose parents are both schoolteachers – who cannot be named, was sentenced to two and a half years in a young offenders’ institution after being convicted of aiding and abetting robbery..

Her boss, John Duffield, is believed to have ensured his secretary was given an extra large share in return for her years of loyal service, which started with Ms Hudson arranging his schedule and taking his dictation.Commerzbank agreed to give the staff 25 per cent of the company’s worth if they promised to stay on for at least five years after the buyout. Earlier this year the bank bought the shares back from the employees for £505m.

In two weeks’ time an election is to be held in Iran for a new president – an election that is void of the basic standards of a free and fair electoral system. Thus calls for new emissions curbs and limits on “gas-guzzling” cars is coming at regional levels. Margaret Beckett as good as admits Britain has been pushing the US to go further and faster. But if the history of debt relief is any precedent, there will be more arguing to come and public pressure will have a big part to play. The US will not see sense in time for Gleneagles, but all the pushing may not, in the long term, be in vain.. And change has happened at least in part because of strong and sustained public pressure: it did not originate with banks or national governments. Simply, popular understanding of the vicious circle of indebtedness and poverty is far superior now to what it was a generation ago.

It is in no rich country’s interests to be perceived as profiting from the poverty of another – and the United States is no exception.There are small signs in the US that pressure to tackle climate change is starting to grow, and that it is coming from certain parts of the country and sections of the scientific community. For aid given by one set of contributors to be taken back in the form of interest repayments, leaving many poor countries worse off, tended to be seen as a theoretical, small-print issue, to be considered far below the urgent needs of the starving.That an accord has been reached that will cancel all the debts of 18 of the world’s poorest countries and set conditions for new assistance shows how much has changed. More than 20 years ago, before Bob Geldof and Live Aid made the rich world aware of the extent of hunger in Africa, Third World debt was hardly a popular issue. China may have ratified the Kyoto treaty, but its soaring consumption has the potential to destabilise the world energy market. There may be a case for trying to go beyond Kyoto.That said, however, there may be lessons from the accord on debt relief that can be applied to the transatlantic rift over climate change. But this will not change before the G8 summit.Something we may hear more about when the eight leaders gather at Gleneagles is a new global forum for “dialogue” on energy-use and new technologies, in which non-G8 countries, such as China, could also be involved. This would not bring US agreement on climate change, but would not be the worst of options.

There was, she admitted, “a degree of disappointment” about the refusal of the United States to give ground on this issue. It was also, she implied, accepted in both capitals that there was no chance this would change. She made clear that, so far as the US was concerned, Kyoto was “off the agenda”; even in the unlikely event that President Bush could be converted, the treaty would “probably” not be passed by the US Senate.This is putting it politely. We can condemn Americans’ selfish attachment to their cars, their profligate use of energy and their slowness to close polluting power stations. There is, and never was, the slightest chance that the Senate – Republican majority or no – would sign up to measures that it, along with most of the US public, believes would threaten the “American way of life”. One almost down, one to go, might be the verdict on the Government’s preparations for the Group of Eight summit next month.

With three weeks of preparation ahead, the international debt cancellation package so desired by Gordon Brown appears to be in the bag, and that is a notable achievement even if the aid and trade elements remain to be finalised. On the other headline issue of the summit, however – combating climate change – there seems to have been no advance, and none whatsoever on the horizon.
In an interview with The Independent, the Environment Secretary, Margaret Beckett, was frank, both about the difficulties and about where to place the blame. There must also be awareness that for those children unhappy, or bullied, at school, extended hours could become a torment.In the end, the balance must be for parents to draw. The work-life equation in Britain is already tilted too far against family life by our long working hours. Extended school opening should be a convenience that adds to the quality of life, not another excuse for parents to spend less time with their children.. The activities would have to be sufficiently different not to seem like a continuation of the school day.

Teachers, who have only just won additional time for lesson preparation and marking, will hardly volunteer for extra hours of duty without extra pay. The interaction of the public and private sector – which, the Government says, will be involved in the initiative – will also need to be handled carefully. The £680m mentioned by Ms Kelly to set up the scheme may prove far from adequate.A separate cause for concern is the possible effect on pupils of spending so long in the same milieu.

But instead the chief coach of the day, David Tanner, took the risk of removing Matthew Pinsent, then only 19, from the coxless four, and a new world-class partnership was born. His late work, though, is remarkable for its formal simplicity – his off-centre view of the world doesn’t need to announce itself with vainglorious directorial flourishes; it is not a fashion-statement but a state of mind.It is probably mean to measure Masala, a first film from the Indian-Canadian director Srinivas Krishna, against one of the masters of world cinema, but Krishna is trying for an anarchic, outrageous mood that invites the comparison.

So much have changed, and so did the “We Believe” era that now is just a good era to think about, in these awful days.  .

To put this in an English context, the 3-litre Alvis of the day, a gentlemanly sports car, produced only 104bhp at 4,000rpm. Its capacity was the same, largely by raising the compression ratio from 8:1 to 9.5:1, and changing to twin Weber carburettors and an electric fuel pump, bhp was raised to 95 and 6,000rpm. Within a year the family man got his ideal car when Alfa Romeo installed this engine in the Berlina, a four-door saloon that could reach 100mph. Between 1955 and 1962, it was the first Alfa Romeo with a production total in six figures – 192,917 – few survive, recycled Russian steel of wretched quality their inexorable enemy.Alfa Romeo again responded to demand when, in 1956, they introduced a Spring Veloce version of the engine. Under the bonnet was a short-stroke Alfa engine; of only 1,290 ccs. This was the smallest twin-camshaft unit to be made in quantity, and in base form developed 80bhp at 6,300rpm and could reach 102mph.

Most British cars would have, at such revolutions, thrown their big ends through their engine-blocks.So freely did this engine respond that it encouraged drivers to cling to lower gears until above 4,000rpm at which it began to emit a thrillingly harsh mechanical note reminiscent of a racing car Yet it was always smooth and tractable. Not for long; in 1954, Alfa Romeo introduced the Giulietta.The Giulietta was a lissom little coupe. Designed by Bertone, it was a response to those built by one-man-bands like Cisitalia and Osca, perhaps even to the Volkswagen-based Porsches. But in seating four, it trounced them, for it enabled the family man to pretend that he was a sporting driver. After years of bench-warming for middle-ranking domestic teams the perennial reserve turns up playing for a free-spending foreign powerhouse.Ambrosio admits that even he feels “it is like a dream”. Speaking on the flight to the Principality he added: “I couldn’t have imagined I would be on the pitch for the semi-final of the Champions’ League.”Even when he signed for Chelsea last summer Ambrosio, married with a baby, could not reasonably have harboured such an ambition.

He was hired as third choice behind Carlo Cudicini and Jurgen Macho This was fine by him. At 30 he had spent his career understudying others.He had played in Serie C, Italy’s part-time regionalised third tier, with Prato, Ravenna and Lucchese, Serie B with Pisa and, for a heady 10 games at each club, Serie A with Samp-doria and Chievo. His last outing had been for Chievo, a 4-0 defeat by Juventus. As one Chelsea informant said yesterday: “We signed him because he was cheap and on a free transfer.

Remember, he arrived before Roman Abramovich took over.”When Macho injured his knee Ambrosio became No 2 but was so unconvincing on his debut, conceding two goals to Notts County in the Carling Cup in October, Claudio Ranieri signed Neil Sullivan in the transfer window Then Cudicini broke a finger and Sullivan injured his thigh. On 13 March, at Bolton, Ambrosio was given a second chance.”I slept very badly before the game,” he recalled. “Apart from Notts County I had not played all season, not even in the reserves. The first match you do not have confidence with the pitch, with your team-mates, with the emotion of the match. Now every match is better.” Ambrosio kept a clean sheet and retained his place when Sullivan returned to fitness.He was thus in goal when Chelsea won at Arsenal in the Champions’ League quarter-final “It was a fantastic night for me,” he said “The best night of my career. I have taken my shirt and put it on the wall of my house in Italy because I can’t forget this match.”Before the game I was nervous because I knew this 90 minutes could decide my future. For me it was very important because I want to stay here at Chelsea.

“And also I’ve been unhappy with the media coverage.”Damir Dokic, who moved his family from Yugoslavia to Australia six years ago, has repeatedly made headlines for his unpredictable behavior He was expelled from last year’s Wimbledon and U.S. Open, and the WTA Tour banned him until March.In the latest outburst, he questioned the computer draw that gave his daughter such a tough opening match.”The draw is fixed just for her,” he told the Sun-Herald of Sydney “If it is not, the country should protect its own player … She feels that no one here likes her.”Geoff Pollard, president of Tennis Australia, dismissed Damir Dokic’s allegation that the draw was rigged.”That’s just the way it came out,” Pollard said “The draw was done publicly in front of players and media He should know that all draws are done the same way. It’s the luck of the draw – you get good draws, you get bad draws. She has had good ones and bad ones before.”Dokic said she plans to move from Sydney to Florida. She received a Yugoslav passport in November after traveling on an Australian passport for four years.In the wake of the latest controversy involving the family, Davenport expressed sympathy for her first-round opponent.”That’s a little bit of a shame,” Davenport said “I don’t think it has a lot to do with her, though. She seems like really nice girl, and maybe there are some unfortunate circumstances there.”.

Rod Laver, the only two-time winner of the Grand Slam of tennis, says the sport is less attractive than in his day. Rod Laver, the only two-time winner of the Grand Slam of tennis, says the sport is less attractive than in his day.
“There was more variety in the strokes and the rallies that we played,” Laver said today after hitting with Lleyton Hewitt to christen the Australian Open’s newest court, the 10,000-seat, retractable-roof Vodafone Arena.The 15,000-seat center court at the Open’s site, Melbourne Park, was named Rod Laver Arena last year in honor of the Australian who won the four major tournaments of tennis in both 1962 and 1969.”Seems like the drop shot became very important because you just couldn’t do so much with the rackets,” which were wood when he started out, the 62-year-old Laver said.For recreational tennis players, he added, “it used to be when you had a tiny wooden racket it would come back and hit you in the eye. You’d say, ‘I don’t like this game.”‘Aside from racket technology, “I get the feeling that the courts are quicker, maybe the ball is quicker,” he said.Laver, who has 11 titles from Grand Slam tournaments, said he did not expect today’s younger players to dominate tennis the way Pete Sampras has, winning a total of 13 titles at Wimbledon and the Australian, French and U.S. Opens.There are “just so many young players out there that can rise up and play their best tennis,” he said.He mentioned U.S. Open champion Marat Safin, a 20-year-old Russian who rose to No. 2 in the rankings, and Hewitt, a 19-year-old Australian who won last week’s ATP tournament in Sydney and is seeded seventh for the Australian Open.Laver, nicknamed the “Rocket,” might have won more Grand Slam tournaments, possibly surpassing Sampras’ total, if they had been opened sooner to professionals.

As a pro, he missed the six years up to 1968.”I don’t dwell on that,” he said.”If you are just trophy-hunting or whatever, then maybe you could start to go back and try to analyze your career, but I was very fortunate to play some of my best tennis at the right time,” he added.”I am very, very happy that Pete is the record holder .. You don’t see him play just average matches. He is always playing at his peak.”Laver suffered a stroke in July 1998, and “I think tennis is certainly one of the things that has brought my recovery back,” he said.. The talent-rich Australian Open field includes defending champion Andre Agassi, US Open champion Marat Safin, Olympic gold medalist Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Gustavo Kuerten, who finished last year No 1.

Yet none is the favorite of Aussie oddsmakers. At the start of his 13th year on the ATP tour, Pete Sampras remains the man to beat.It’s been three years since Sampras won a major title other than Wimbledon, and 16 months since he was ranked No 1. Rivals such as Jim Courier and Boris Becker have retired, and Patrick Rafter – younger than Sampras – may call it quits this year.But Sampras forges on, still a formidable force. He’ll bid for his 14th major title beginning Monday night against Karol Kucera, and he pronounces himself rested, relaxed and ready.”The hunger is still there, and I’m still very motivated,” he said.

“This is a matter of protecting life on Earth, yet there is great reluctance to provide funding.”Current funding has succeeded in building the first of four dedicated telescopes. Part of the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System (Pan-Starrs) project, the Hawaii-based PS1 has just begun capturing its first test images. “It would cost a few hundred million dollars, which is what we spend on any run-of-the-mill space launch and there are several of those a year,” he says. “It’s a global threat that a lot of people are working on, but unfortunately not the government agencies,” he says.The irony for Schweickart is that it wouldn’t cost a fortune to divert potentially hazardous asteroids. “But, due to lack of funding, Nasa isn’t able to develop technology to deflect any oncoming asteroids.”Nasa currently receives approximately $3.5m per year to research the subject. Schweickart insists this is nowhere near enough if we are to properly protect ourselves. Nearly 800 have been found so far and it is estimated that there are around 200 or so to be located.

But in December last year the goal was reset to locating the smaller objects, 140m or larger, still by 2020.This is a two-edged sword for NEO expert Russell “Rusty” Schweickart. The former Apollo astronaut – and chairman of the California-based B612 Foundation, an independent organisation founded by a group of astronauts and scientists dedicated to finding ways to protect us against impact from space rocks – is pleased that the asteroid threat is being taken seriously. “My guess is that we’re going to find thousands of asteroids that look like they might hit Earth,” he warns. And these comparatively small chunks of rock are much harder to find – it is only recently that the hunt for them has begun.In 1998, the US Congress directed Nasa to start an early warning programme to locate, by 2020, 90 per cent of NEOs measuring 1km or more.

But an asteroid would not have to be massive to pose a serious threat. If an asteroid as small as 40m across hit Earth, it would create a crater 1.25km across – just think if it hit a city. Astronomers have been tracking large asteroids for decades – the first near-Earth asteroid, Eros, was discovered at the end of the 19th century. With an estimated diameter of up to 800 metres, had XP14 hit Earth it could have wiped out a small country.
Of course, this fly-by came as no surprise Scientists tracking the asteroid knew it would not hit us. To put it another way, it came within 1.1 times the moon’s average distance from the Earth, close enough to be officially classified as a potentially hazardous Near Earth Object (NEO), along with some 782 known others. The number in question comes from a “near miss” that happened earlier this month, when the asteroid named XP14 passed us at 17km per second. This isn’t just a personal insult: it amounts to a racial slur against any pasty-faced countrymen.pandora independent.co.uk.

In most circumstances, 432,000km is a long, long way. But not when that figure is the distance between a large mass of fast-moving rock and planet Earth. “The best thing he could do with Marmite would be to rub it into his face, to help that complexion of his – you never know; it might work.”Ramsay has yet to return fire, but the straight-talking Scot won’t be happy. “John Reid had a breakfast for selected journalists,” I’m told. “Over the black puddings, he shouted ‘Yo, Riddell!’, when the latecomer Peter Riddell appeared.”History does not relate if these two political titans proceeded to perform a high five.There will, I hazard, be precious few more dirty weekends for the publishing industry’s “Mr and Mrs Smith”.On Saturday, James Lohan and Tamara Heber-Percy, authors of the Mr and Mrs Smith guidebooks, got married in Mallorca.They are now “rebranding,” and will appear under a (subtly altered) moniker in a forthcoming TV series, The Smiths’ Hotels for Two.* Seconds out! There is (yet another) round of fisticuffs between Gordon Ramsay and Gary Rhodes.In a break from tradition, Rhodes – and not his Glaswegian rival – reignited their ongoing dispute, at the launch of a “Marmite menu” at his London restaurant.”My advice to Gordon is very simple,” he said.

“He said ‘I want to go to Iraq, I want to go in the next couple of weeks, and I don’t want any money. The lads are having a hard time, and I want to do my bit to cheer them up’.”The internet site Chortle notes (with only mild disapproval) that “comedians are normally approached by CSE.”* George Bush’s preferred greeting- “Yo, Blair! How you doin’?” – is the catchphrase du jour in Westminster, after Tory MPs greeted our PM’s arrival in the Commons with Ali G-style whoops.Behind the scenes, Labour ministers were at it too.

Guests at the film’s premiere last night were told that the film-makers decided to change the character’s moniker so as not to upset Fayed.”It was thought that Herod Sayle sounded a bit too much like ‘Harrods Sale’,” I’m told.”The last thing you need, in the precarious British film industry, is to provoke a lawyer’s letter from Fuggie.”The film’s director, Geoffrey Sax, confirmed that he’d been told to change the original name. “Seeing that he was likely to be elected leader of the Labour Party, I went to the trouble of consulting the archives, which I understand are now closed.”There were two political motions that Blair put to the JCR during his ‘red period’. From memory, he was teased mercilessly for the (An Phoblacht) one.”As if that isn’t enough – and what will Ulster’s nationalist community make of the news? – Renton adds: “He’d also just changed his name from Anthony to Tony.”* Not for the first time, Mohamed Fayed is at the centre of an intriguing conspiracy theory.The film Stormbreaker – based on a novel by Anthony Horowitz – features a baddie called Darrius Sayle.Strangely, though, in the original book this Lebanese terrorist had a different first name: Herod. New evidence suggests that our PM’s youthful flirtation with the far left was in fact a full-blown love affair.
Blair was hitherto thought to have been politically docile during his time at St John’s College, Oxford.
