AMERICAN FOOTBALL

The 28-year NFL pro players had killed a man after he drunk (1.26 per thousand) with his car was.

He drove a 59-year-old man to death. Yesterday, Tuesday was the player of the Cleveland Browns to 30 days in prison. In addition, he received a fine of $ 10,000, plus two years' house arrest and eight years on probation.

Furthermore, he was 1000 hours imposed on charitable work. The player had been with the family of the deceased before the hearing agreed, otherwise he would have been the maximum penalty of 15 years.

American Football Yellow Black celebrated with champagne showers, while the red is a few meters further squatting in a circle by her coach had to explain what was just in hockey park had happened. It was one of the most dramatic finals at the German Junior Championship, known as Junior Bowl. The fact that Berlin Adler, the Black Yellow, would win the final match, it probably would have previously Cologne coach David Odenthal bet. 21:14 won the capital city even before 1051 spectators in hockey park and thus brought the fifth championship in Berlin.

But seven minutes before the end was at the Berlin bank little of Meistervorfreude to see. Approximately 40 minutes is dominated on the defensive of the ascending to the lot from Cologne, Berlin was completely absent. In the 7th Minutes succeeded the Cologne quarterback Jens Kriete the lead, kicker Sven Mißbach increased to 7:0 - false start for the favorites, the computer before a win probability of 85 percent was calculated.

But the best young German team succeeded in nothing. The Cologne grew defensive about themselves. Only shortly before the break, missed the Berlin Widereceiver Lars Samjeske a long pass of his quarterback in the Endzone, and the subsequent trial Fieldgoal clapped at the poles. "The team had lost power after the semifinal," said Head Coach Berlin Jörg Hofmann. In the semifinals the team had its subscription-master from Dusseldorf off.

In the third quarter increased Cologne Benjamin Mentges with a touchdown to 14:0, because Berlin at the 40-yard run came after it difficult. Cologne celebrated at the Berlin bank was swear. In the last quarter, but went to Cologne, which some players in both the Offense and Defense were initiated in the air. Jens Kriete quarterback was barely pass receiver. The advantage of the Berlin: First shortened by Maurice Macia Touchdown at 6:14 (extra point by Justin Sterzinger), two minutes later Christian Sundarp tanks to settle in the Endzone Cologne, and 38 seconds before the conclusion reached Lars Samjeske the decisive touchdown on 21: 14. Berlin has already celebrated, while Sebastian Cologne crown nine seconds before the finish almost even compensatory succeeded.

"It is bitter, so to lose. But Berlin's passes and running game were worthy champions," said David Odenthal. Like, the organizers, Mönchengladbach Mavericks: At the conclusion of the third Junior Bowls in Mönchengladbach ignited the Bulls with a firework display.

On 20 June 2009 is 28 Time of the German Youth Champion in the American Football identified. Opponents in the finals are the eagle and the Berlin Cologne Falcons. The Junior Bowl as in the past two seasons this year in the Hockey Park in Mönchengladbach determined, where the local organizers to Mönchengladbach Mavericks feverishly for weeks to work on real finals atmosphere for the two best teams in the 16 - to 19-year-olds in Germany create. This will, inter alia before the game and during half-time live performances of pop singer Sina, which among other things, their recent single is present.

The preparations for that for the third time in Mönchengladbach next sporting highlights also appealing ranks will be filled, so they are taken. One is, however, unlike in the past two years: The Düsseldorf Panther are now as a title holder is missing, after a hard-fought semifinal in Berlin lost, and so missed the chance, its eighth consecutive youth championship to win. North Rhine-Westphalia is still represented - this time by the Cologne Falcons, an equal number of positive surprises this season of GFL Juniors, the Youth League in AFV Germany.

The Cologne Shakers are immediately to the finals gestürmt experience and therefore also their first ever finals participation. The Berlin Adler are on the other hand for the sixth time overall at a Junior Bowl part - four German youth championships won the junior from the capital already. The last title, however long ago - before 1997, the Eagle 1989, 1990 and 1994 won. Similar to the Dusseldorf Panthers are the Eagles to the organizations in Germany, whose success in the field of youth players over many generations could be cultivated. The favorite position of the current year are fueled not only that, but mainly from the fact that the Berlin Dusseldorf in the semifinal against the Panthers, the first defeat for a long time were able to teach.

The Cologne want but at the finale certainly not hide. The big plus of Domstädter is that you look at the whole season could increase and always had to play at the limit. Especially that the Falcons game by game top have worked, is one of the true strengths of the team. "We have the lot as long as possible, be kept open" gives Cologne Head Coach David Odenthal rough tactical march route before. "We were in the last two games clear of outsiders. But we have proved that we deserve in the Junior Bowl are confiscated. "

But he also adds this: "There are no young people and professionals. They make mistakes. "And of course he hopes that these errors may be opponents at the Berlin run. The biggest problem of the Berlin Adler may be in the favorite role is. Some weigh in Berlin may have been deceptive in security, what the outcome of the finals is concerned - Eagles coach Joerg Hoffmann will have to show that he and his team slow down on the ground of reality to keep up.

In the semifinal against the Dusseldorf Panthers Björn Werner was the decisive factor for the Eagles. Because he can not only be a Defensive Lineman Tight End and continues to be owned, but also with his Punts often is a bad starting position for the enemy. "To say that we Björn completely out of the game can take, would be very daring," says David Odenthal. "We need to create it but that we can slow down."

A special presentation of a romantic relationship: Tony Romo, the football-playing lover of singer Jessica Simpson, looks most like sport with his girlfriend.

Romo is quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys and is happy with his job in his relationship: As soon as he is not on the field, look he and his sweetheart, the games in TV.

"A little something to eat and a football game," Romo says his Traumdate.

Simpson he must not only talk about: The blonde singer is a huge fan of the Action loaded sport.

"She loves the game," says Romo and clarifies: "It is exciting for both of us. I have finally found someone with whom I can depend on and our team would like to see win."

Although Simpson and her athletes since November 2007, a couple are not far from ringing wedding bells.

The 29-year-old Romo marriage rumors commented as follows: "Not that I knew it!"

Not everyone is of Simpsons love for football so much as Romo. The fans of the Dallas Cowboys throw the buxom pop girls from the quarterback-Star Entertainment, and were beside themselves with anger, as the cowboys round decision in the 2008 NFL playoffs lost: In the week before the big game Simpson and Romo were together after Mexico flown to relax.

Tejay Van Garderen smiles when he speaks, the truth is spoken very fast. "I am still a little nervous," said the broker was born in Montana (USA) when it comes to the podium in Santander, where minutes will receive honors as the champion of the circuit 2009. With him comes his masseur, a tall man, I'd say great, that deals with that Tejay not lack anything. "It's a good boy, said the masseur. Is very humble, good athlete and I think now is the promise of American cycling, or so say the magazines of United States.


Who knows, as we are seeing the replacement of Armstrong, "says his proud massagist. Van Garderen had put his eyes on the mountains from circuit that began this season. A car accident 17 days ago, when trained in Lucca (Italy), was on the verge of giving up their plans, but fortunately "only suffered injuries to his legs and arms. I thought that I could not come to the circuit, but in the end I recovered well from the blows, "said the American, who turns the gesture recalls how when he took that car ahead. And if that goes well recovered! He arrived as a favorite to Cantabria. Noted for their rivals four stages. El Chivo was the best and Santo Toribio took the final victory. "I am tired", said shortly before the last jersey dress with yellow circuit. "But I am also very happy because it adds this victory is the perfect start me.



The Circuit is a very important test for the under-23 team Rabobank. They have won first and then with Gesink Mollema. "I finished second last year and this year could not escape the triumph," says the broker of all Dutch satisfied. His father, a great enthusiast Bozeman was born in Van Garderen (USA). Their 'city' of birth and where he spent his early years is located southwest of the state of Montana and surrounded by mountains. His father was a big fan of cycling and hence his passion for cycling. "I pedal as long as I can use right '. But Mr Van Garderen did not want the bike was only a hobby and made Tejay tests to compete in mountain biking when I was nine years. "I was very wrong with all those who play sports to children of United States, football baseball ... and my father loved bikes. He was the one who always encouraged me to devote myself to the bike, "recounts Tejay. When I was a teenager began to run on the road with the team of his hometown, Bozeman.



The more you earn, the more I liked to compete," said Tejay, as a junior rider who won many races and not remember the number. He moved to Colorado In those years, his family moved to the state of Colorado at Boulder, where he currently resides. In his second year as a youth Tejay was already fixed in the national team of his country and was then that the Dutch team Rabobank was in it.


"Rabobank riders were looking for because I think Americans want to open branches in California. They wanted some American equipment for the UCI Pro Tour team and one for the mainland. And I, who wanted to be a professional runner, I knew that if he did not try their luck in Europe would never be anyone. So I decided, "relates Van Garderen, not regret that decision, but" at the beginning was very hard. " The new champion of the circuit ensures that race in Europe makes it a stronger person and a better runner. "When I was a junior and came to the United States national team to run Europe were only here two months and then returned home, where people speak your language, you could eat chiplote and see friends. But now is different.

Running in a European team is almost eight months away and that is very hard, "explains Van Garderen, which next month will return to the U.S. to run the National Championships in his country. "I'm very excited about winning the championship against the United States in the under-23 category. I think I am the favorite, so I hope to do, "said Tejay. If it achieves the title of champion of the USA will be an injection of morale to finish the season in Europe. "When I return I hope to run the Tour de Ain (France), the Tour of Ireland and the Tour of Avenir (France). Run to finish the World Championships in Mendrisio (Switzerland), tells the champion of the circuit, which is still not clear whether it will next year at Rabobank. With the projection that has the American runner, Rabobank only be withheld in its ranks if it gives the team pass the UCI Pro Tour next season, if this does not happen "as I come to live in Spain. I still do not know what will happen so we have to wait and see what happens the remainder of campaign, "she says. Tejay was no clear victory in this circuit until the sixth stage.


I knew we had good climber and I am not a specialist in the mountains, but the day I was in front of the queen stage (Source of the Goat) started to believe I could do something. In the sixth stage, four kilometers from the finish I decided to attack the leader and did not answer was the best. I was clear that there could win the race. However in this last stage I was very nervous trying to avoid falls and very attentive to all attempts to escape, "examines the American rider.

They are a power in basketball, athletics, swimming, boxing ... any sport has participants Americans, all in the Olympics medal table is headed by the United States team. Not to mention the expanding cultural, economic and social conscience that we are accustomed. But in football, soccer, things are quite different. In the current step is proving its Confederations little supportive. Two matches, two defeats. Italy and Brazil have come soon with the dream of reaching the semis. Little dog collar for both, is possible. But Egypt's victory last night left in a worse place to American aspirations. You can earn from a big order, and the conviction itself. A country with social and monetary capital in the U.S. can be a good breeding ground.


Schools football league competitive, any initiative that could enrich the extremely low status of sport in the king's most powerful country in the world. Neither the arrival of Beckham, who left the beeping Sniffing baked it there, could revitalize the U.S. soccer. True, basketball, baseball, football and capitalized interest of the majority of the fans. The financial injection is always in line with the commitment that the public will have a sports broadcasts in either discipline. U.S. has been spoiled from FIFA because of the anticipation of gains that a country of that size could make the case in football to become a majority preference. His appointment as the headquarters of the World 94 responded to these expectations.


With so much criticism of the election illegitimate, the championship began to go underground with a view: that an event of this nature to drag the public to the enjoyment of soccer. The purpose was water. Any continued. Neither the U.S. participation in dignity, with the reminder that Lalas and hortera so-shirt or the chance to enjoy close to Romario, Preud'homme, Stoichkov and Baggio could turn on the motor trade. Beckham started the path already marked Pele or Cruyff, playing in the Major League for packing a competition that verges on the amateurism.


If the U.S. wants to reach something in football must patiently weaving the network of clubs that cross the country from east to west. Give a more professional profile to a championship since the franchise system to the names of the teams, we are less curious. Conversely, several players have been Americans who have spent more or less glory for the big leagues in Europe. Tab Ramos from the great in the Betis Ray Keller and Tottenham or Wynalda of Bochum, the latest Beasley of PSV, Rangers or the City or promising Altidore's Villarreal.



The conclusion is that American players have to leave their country to learn and compete in European football. Soak another way to tackle the sport. Improve performance and defend the national team more efficiently than in the last major tournament seems to show. This seems the only room for improvement after fifteen years of statism and experienced no progress after a priori crucial boost to soccer in a Confederate state. U.S. comes after the Confederations Cup CONCACAF Champions erected in 2007. The Football Association Confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean does not seem an unfavorable environment and conflict. U.S. is best placed within this body in the FIFA ranking. Its main opponents are teams coming unless something like Mexico or Costa Rica, with exotic selections such as Belize and Suriname combined or loose as Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago.

It is not a race capable of testing a computer that is intended to be a respectable bloc in international events. Maybe the rooms towards the global 2002 may be the mirror in which to look in the future. Confederations Cup in the United States today has left us only a few minutes to a well-contested Italy fofa anything but a feeling of smallness and innocence that his tactical discipline and defensive solidarity can not disguise.

His experience so far is only comparable to New Zealand combined. Little for a team that has experienced players such as Howard guardamenta ex-Everton and United, the striker Donovan with a brief step-by-Bayern, the defense always exploit Onyewu-Liege, Newcastle or promises as mentioned Altidore, Freddy Adu and Charlie Davies. The match against Brazil yesterday uncovered the miseries of a selection with a lot of potential but with a diminishing reality. I hope that an international tournament such as this serve as a warning signal to straighten and a large ship loaded properly, but browsing to drift for years in this business of football.

George Bush popularized the term "axis of evil" to describe Iraq, Iran and North Korea, including later to Libya, Syria and Cuba, within the usual Manichean language of the former president of the United States.




With Obama as president-and the consequent change of style at least - in the way of understanding the relations with these countries, Iran and North Korea remain however for its news and political affairs for his football, so often associated and is that something moves in the axis of evil, even if the rotational movement of a football. The news came in recent days after Iran, the suspect election results in the power that keeps the fundamentalist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the resulting protests and riots in the country, have also penetrated the world of football. At the party faced the Iranian selection against South Korea in Seoul.


Some players lucieron a green wristband. A simple gesture, anecdotal in another context, if not because it is a clear show of support and solidarity to the opposition party led by cutting openness Hossain Mousavi. Besides the osasuna Masoud and Nekounam, also wore the wristband Mehdi Mahdavikia, whose participation in the protest was particularly significant: team captain and a sporting idol in his country, has been used often in propaganda by the regime, such as when thanks to a goal from Mahdavikia Iran was able to beat United States at the end of the 1998.


France World, a fact exploited by the regime in Tehran to attack their American enemy. The Persians moved to Seoul fans also showed their protests as happened in the vicinity of the stadium and slogans during the protest meeting. In the second part, the players left the field without the symbols, according to the opposition under pressure from the Iranian authorities. The party is key to Iran's aspirations to qualify for the World South Africa ended in a tie for both.


The goal of South Korea equaled the match, the work of Ji Sung Park, automatically sorted to its northern neighbor, in one of the few friendly gestures that both countries have recently shown. After the draw in Seoul, equal to Saudi Arabia ranks North Korea directly for the World Cup for the first time since 1966. And it will be the first time that the two Koreas dispute the final phase of a World Cup. At the World England 1966, the Chollima became the second team from around the world, with its joyful football, his heroic ranking for the second phase leads to Italy ahead of his dignity and the elimination of Portugal Eusebio, after anticipating on the scoreboard with three goals.


Currently the international relations of North Korea is experiencing a further escalation of tension, after the rocket testing and nuclear weapons carried out by the Pyonyang regime, which has unleashed protests from the international community. If we are checking in Iran - over censorship - that society is moving, North Korea continues to suffer the isolation of a regime of Stalinist inspiration. Continuing tensions, it is difficult that the selection of North Korea based on a system of work and the football defensive counterattack, could raise the same sympathy as that of 1966. But who knows, maybe his presence in an international competition of this draft, with a softened U.S. foreign policy with Obama, enable gestures by all sides to improve relations in pursuit of a lasting peace. Football has already taken the first step.

For the second consecutive year, the team of junior-level football in our city, Murcia Cobras was proclaimed champion of Spain in its category. Go ahead my warmest congratulations to everyone (clubs, players, directives, technical, etc).


It was a victory well deserved because in this final phase (by the way, held here in Murcia) teams have competed very strong and well prepared, such as Lions Granada, Bocs Argentona and rivals in the final of our boys, Barcelona Bufals. Still, Murcia Cobras have not been crumpled to none (state semifinal infarction and very igualada Cobras played between Murcia and Argentona Bocs finally decanted from our side) and have managed to stay on the field to get this second national title sequentially. Only one but I think it is fair: local institutions should try what I try, they should give them more support, because they can not close our eyes to the achievements of this team that walks the name of Murcia in Spain as bicampeones. Let Cobras!

Do you know who is Nick Hornby? As the author of a novel under the title Fever in the stands, soccer has drawn material for fiction and has not done any other writer to write a great story. It is of course an expert in this sport, so his views on it have some authority. Asked about his feelings for the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo has claimed that "this transfer is very bad taste in the middle of the global crisis," but not before recognizing that it is "the best player in the world." Many people agree with this view of Hornby. The digital surveys conducted last week to seek the view of the Internet were all daunting: convincing majorities differ from the economic terms of that by signing galactic Florentino Perez. See this newspaper. It happens that with the purchase of Ronaldo from Real Madrid for an amount greater than ninety million (including previous sixty Kaká), football, already a business, has become directly into a show business industry . The nine test is that last Friday the three newspapers in the economic role of devoted more space in their covers and extensive information on the operation of the white club. Expanding the matter deserved Chronic on page 7 to five columns, five days he spent two comments on the back, The Economist and gave the whole page 37 of its edition of Friday, including five columns and the opening section of Management . Of course, he was carried in newspapers of general information (the world edition opened with the news) and news audiovisual world uprooted half the stratospheric signing. Digital newspapers, most versatile and fast-offered a few hours the pulse of social opinion on the operation and an avalanche of comments and views of readers. Ronaldo will be a spending-in fact, a huge waste if an injury or a personal or family maladjustment, we fall below expectations. Will be an investment-and forget football as a sport more if the stadiums are filled to see if the boxes that the Real Madrid set to become a rental lease with an increase in their prices if the market that aims to reach the Portuguese bar calculated if the audiovisual rights increase income of the club, whether the advertising, whose profits would be shared with the entity, are abundant and if the targets are able to own Ronaldo, Kaká with, and perhaps others, reaching the highest levels in national and international competitions. The fine line between spending and investment The gap between spending and investment, where everything depends on the responsiveness of a human being, ie it is not a machine, may be minimal. Florentino Perez has played it because it is not just how much money it has cost the club the Portuguese player, who is also match that price expectations which in times of crisis are increased so that the operation is not considered as a impudicia, ie a lack of modesty or shame, that in those terms as defined lewd Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy. Perez has committed an avoidable error in reporting this filing has failed to put into context, that is what the American professor, George Lakoff, called "frameworks of understanding." Simply dropped the bombshell not accompany the description of objectives, and expectations to measure. Lo, that is more a society has irritated more than four million unemployed, whose small and medium enterprises face enormous problems in obtaining credit and household consumption retracts by distrust in the future. The names with which the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, has disqualified the signing of Ronaldo, it was a behavior "imperialist" and "arrogant" he said, although they are opportunistic, hit well in public opinion that, inside The former is a player who is twenty-four years had paid as much as the annual budget of the Prado, the National Library ... and other cultural institutions. A strong bet in difficult times that many consider "obscene" (sic), perhaps without understanding that after soccer, and long before that football is the social power (and politics) of their leaders, the returns derived from their visibility public and management of collective emotions of great social potential. Ie, while some talk of sport and football, others refer to an industry and a certain power. Language and perceptions that are not connected or coupled. Just knowing what we are talking about good-money-and influence can be seen that expenditure ¿?, Investment ... that many may seem a impudicia. I am on the side of Hornby novelist: it is simply "very poor taste amid the global crisis." Efficiency and aesthetics do not always go hand in hand, especially when the story of the signing of communication lacks the epic flight of the big events.

The new coach of Real Madrid, Ettore Messina, Florentino Perez does not want to just spend money in football and basketball forget, whose team is not participating in a 'Final Four' of the Euroleague since 13 years ago and won his last though League two seasons ago, "seems to have been 20 ', as acknowledged yesterday the Italian technician. "I'm going to call a 'galactic' Antonio Maceiras (new director of basketball of Real Madrid)," said Messina after his official, without wanting to reveal any names, but did not deny that it has asked his former club, CSKA of Moscow, "that if a player does not have" to report in person "may interest you. "I do not want to talk about names because I'm still excited and could say nonsense, 'he said after being presented as a football star on the stage by Florentino honor of the Santiago Bernabéu. Many millions Among the objectives of the technical with the Real Madrid also breaks with the past and begins a new stage in the base are American-born Holden Russian, Lithuanian Siskauskas the eaves and the wing-pivot Slovenian Smodis. Do not think Ricky Rubio because Messina is convinced that the pearl of the Youth "will play in the NBA, but it will require many millions to spend a section of 'basket' to which he has lost respect in Europe and survives, hardly in the shadow of FC Barcelona and Tau. He paid two million euros net for each of the three seasons he has signed for Real Madrid and aims to provide a "competitive to get the 'Final Four'" after winning four European Cups, two with Virtus Bologna and the other two with CSKA. To meet the challenge, the best European coach who could have filed Florentino, outside Zeljko Obradovic, Real Madrid wants to conduct their negotiations for players without air, without giving too much details and information: "I am Russian (the past lived four years in Moscow), Russia, and never have to know anything until you need to know. Here you have to work like the Russians, with an incredible sense of secrecy. " Florentino message and the leaders of a section with the Messina, which boasts a fine education but do not silence the truth, wants to be remembered as myths of Madrid yesterday who posed for the photo, "in a very emotional moment 'in the blank box to the Colosseum: Ferrándiz, Emiliano, Brabender, Luyken, Rull, Llorente, Romay. Warning Messina notes that "the Real Madrid shirt forced to play by the goal, and acknowledging that in order to achieve" the money is important, "he recalls," It is necessary to invest this money in an intelligent and wise and equipment . With the cost of Cristiano Ronaldo in the face of almost everyone at the Bernabeu, Antonio Maceira, who was on the point of getting to the bench for Messina Barca confirmed that the Madrid basketball section "can be as high as 30 million budget. However, the technician also asked the Italian officials and fans who are not white rush to win titles. "I take responsibility for reaching the Final Four 'and play to win, but the team needs time," he insisted. Found that even the president has promised "a lot of patience, but he, with character and used to have an almost absolute control on all computers that have conducted to date, launched another warning:" You have to work together, not as tennis players. If you believe that managers are doing wrong, I have no problem to comment and say: 'Here is my contract'. " The coveted and prestigious Italian coach now has the promise of Florentino, at least for the first season. "This section will be enhanced to the level that requires us to our history and legend. Love and support you will not miss, "he told the president, who Messina defined as" a symbol of modern basketball, which has a great personality, is methodical, has a curriculum and is an undeniable passion for the sport. "

Palau Blaugrana. Regal Barça players attend training one day after losing the first game of the series of quarter-finals of the Euroleague against Tau. The spirits are in tatters because the Victorian team has won the last seven consecutive duels. The technician azulgrana, Xavi Pascual, decides that something must be done to encourage them to recover some players who seem to have a mental block when faced all headed Duško Ivanović. Pascual, as the football team coach, Pep Guardiola, with video-Gladiator before the final of the Champions of Rome, then used a montage that his aides had already prepared since the preseason. This is the legendary speech that Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino plays that character), the coach of a football team, its players in the locker room shortly before the decisive match in the movie 'Any Given Sunday' ( 'A Sunday any'). Pacino a signature work of art in those little four and a half minutes, so that these images have used many companies and groups as a motivational method. D'Amato (Pacino) starts his calm and moderate tone gradually rising, which causes its players will be more and more excited to leave the dressing room all eyes injected with blood and ready to obliterate their opponents. In the video of azulgrana could see and hear all that (is in the original version with subtitles in Spanish), but was combined with a background song, 'One' of the Irish group U2. The truth is that the thing worked. A day after the Regal Barça went over the whole Vitoria (85-62) and the psychological factor that has changed so much since that time the Barça won two playoff against his rival, the quarterfinals of the Euroleague and the The final round of the CBA, which is worth a title

The Madrid Film School was closed made Antxon Salvador (Pamplona, 1966) opts for its 18 springs studied industrial design in Barcelona. But the fallout of the cinema is not diluted over time. On the contrary. Ten years ago he began to write scripts and short films. Wanted to see reflected on the big screen, but a producer even said that he sold his flat to direct one of his scripts.

Erre Erre that, continued to analyze scripts in a production company, noted with surprise that while half came from Latin America. Hence was born the seeds of Spanish cinema. What to see (Blume. 29.90 euros), in which 10 employees are offered an overview of the frames that speak Spanish to the two sides of the Atlantic.

There are at least fifty major films in Spanish, so we can say that Spanish is spoken. But the Spanish film to less than 5% of what was shot in the world. Now the film is Spanish with low self-esteem, and this book aims to open the box of photos and find we have been very handsome. And the Latin American cinema, a distant brother and little visited, is very dignified and stories tall.

Each film has claimed as its own and has put their heads on the tip of the cutting edge of history. But we have not done that: Spanish historiography has not had the ability to claim their titles, and we must break the complex that is against the Spanish cinema.

The primary is over: last year 170 films were filmed in Spain and United States, the mecca of film, 500. We need to produce less and better, putting more money into good ideas. In addition, departments are not professionalized and mixed much of the picture director and screenwriter, who is undervalued and has fled to the television. Another problem is that the figure of the producer criterion as before Querejeta Elijah has lost weight. And speaking of the crisis we forget the Spanish cinema spectator. To match in any gear you need a preparation. Difficult to assess the loneliness, Jaime Rosales, if not before you've seen the classics. Titles are very good that the public and Cocacola popcorn because it does not have the necessary skills.

Suffice to TVs much more mimaran our film, to make a defense of our classic or not they are advertising.

Spanish cinema is heir to the tradition of realism provided by the Spanish to the universal literature. If the film sells American dream, the Spanish film is down to earth and Latin America has in the mud, because it is a tremendous film and social commitment. The film genre that has been made in recent years, as the orphanage, but could well be from any country, and I doubt that is the path. I like most Berlanga, which is absolutely indigenous.

Yes, there is a large empty and people have a tremendous bias. There are really beautiful film, and the great contribution of Spanish cinees that the "poor brother" is presented alongside the great classics.

"Poor." Do not underestimate him a bit?

On average are poorer than the Spanish. Mexico had a very strong industry and supplied movies to United States, Argentina had a boom in the nineties, but other countries do not have a strong film industry. Point has been hatched in Venezuela there is a lot when oil is more expensive, because it makes better movies. The film depends a lot of money.

Yes, absolutely. Cuban cinema of the sixties, arising from the revolution, and it's fantastic for me is one of the jewels.

The denunciation of social injustice.

Yes, they are about something. Such doubts with Dawn in Puerta Oscura is a western bandit with Paco Rabal, but then I saw that very well. Obviously could be more like Night of the Sunflowers, Jorge Sánchez-Cabezudo.

Interpretation, the description of a historical moment, the pure commerciality, Torrente is because ... I did not want a book for intellectuals, but for people with a culture medium to which you want to see the film in Spanish. Was clear that they were wanted Marisol, Joselito, Edgar Neville movies ... 125 Spanish films is a basket large enough to allow various genres, including comedy, film or black horror films such as Who can kill a child? Of Chicho Ibáñez Serrador.

Arrebato, Ivan Zulueta. The film is original, with the final most sickening thing I have seen. It is difficult to see, but the entire world fascinates him.

Yes, Francisco Regueiro. He had seen only two movies and I have discovered love letters from a murderer. It's fantastic, a pre Lynch film of the seventies ... Or Agustí After Villaronga with the crystal. Anyway, we wanted to limit the number of major film directors not to leave out smaller films. In our internal ranking, Buñuel was the greatest filmmaker. We have given six films, and from there down.

Take out any work to the fore "evil"

Following the aforementioned glass, or Living in shadows, Llorenç Llobet-Gràcia. 1948 is a movie that Franco did not like nothing and gave the worst rating possible. Fell into oblivion and this gentleman did not return to filmmaking, a film is lost. I hope this book serves to recover works like this.

Yes, I talked with the editor and is annexed to a future book. There are good films shot in Catalan, including works by Ventura Pons; Bolivian or a movie, The Clandestine Nation, which has been left out for being shot in quechua, or the hammock, recorded in Guarani.

PRETORIA (AFP) - The television screens next to the fourth official will be removed from the vicinity of the pitch in the Confederations Cup, said in Pretoria on Thursday the president of the International Football Federation (FIFA), Joseph Blatter .

FOXBOROUGH - Rodney Harrison decided to leave the grilled, the depth contained in the Pro Bowl twice, announced his retirement.

Chargers and played for Patriots

From next season, Harrison and Tony Dungy (former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts) will join the team of the television program "Football Night In America" and NBC analyst.

"Until I came here," Harrison said in a press conference. "I'm at peace with everything I have accomplished in the league. The sport has been very good to me, I worked hard to play hard. "

Harrison, 36, holds the record as a defensive secondary 30.5 caput plus in his career.

Similarly, accumulated 34 interceptions and became the only player to have over 30 in each category.

The deep, began his career in 1994 with the San Diego Chargers, won two Super Bowls with New England playing

Even the injuries combined with some suspensions incurred in 2007, that Harrison had played only 31 games in the last four seasons.

"People called me a dirty player. But I think that I am a very passionate player, "he said. "I also understand that we are not playing volleyball.

George Bush popularized the term "axis of evil" to describe Iraq, Iran and North Korea, including later to Libya, Syria and Cuba, within the usual Manichean language of the former president of the United States. With Obama as president-and the consequent change of style at least - in the way of understanding the relations with these countries, Iran and North Korea remain however for its news and political affairs for his football, so often associated and is that something moves in the axis of evil, even if the rotational movement of a football.

The news came in recent days after Iran, the suspect election results in the power that keeps the fundamentalist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the resulting protests and riots in the country, have also penetrated the world of football. At the party faced the Iranian selection against South Korea in Seoul, some players lucieron a green wristband. A simple gesture, anecdotal in another context, if not because it is a clear show of support and solidarity to the opposition party led by cutting openness Hossain Mousavi.

Besides the osasuna Masoud and Nekounam, also wore the wristband Mehdi Mahdavikia, whose participation in the protest was particularly significant: team captain and a sporting idol in his country, has been used often in propaganda by the regime, such as when thanks to a goal from Mahdavikia Iran was able to beat United States at the end of the 1998 France World, a fact exploited by the regime in Tehran to attack their American enemy.

The Persians moved to Seoul fans also showed their protests as happened in the vicinity of the stadium and slogans during the protest meeting. In the second part, the players left the field without the symbols, according to the opposition under pressure from the Iranian authorities. The party is key to Iran's aspirations to qualify for the World South Africa ended in a tie for both. The goal of South Korea equaled the match, the work of Ji Sung Park, automatically sorted to its northern neighbor, in one of the few friendly gestures that both countries have recently shown.

After the draw in Seoul, equal to Saudi Arabia ranks North Korea directly for the World Cup for the first time since 1966. And it will be the first time that the two Koreas dispute the final phase of a World Cup.

At the World England 1966, the Chollima became the second team from around the world, with its joyful football, his heroic ranking for the second phase leads to Italy ahead of his dignity and the elimination of Portugal Eusebio, after anticipating on the scoreboard with three goals. Currently the international relations of North Korea is experiencing a further escalation of tension, after the rocket testing and nuclear weapons carried out by the Pyonyang regime, which has unleashed protests from the international community.

If we are checking in Iran - over censorship - that society is moving, North Korea continues to suffer the isolation of a regime of Stalinist inspiration. Continuing tensions, it is difficult that the selection of North Korea based on a system of work and the football defensive counterattack, could raise the same sympathy as that of 1966. But who knows, maybe his presence in an international competition of this draft, with a softened U.S. foreign policy with Obama, enable gestures by all sides to improve relations in pursuit of a lasting peace. Football has already taken the first step.

Today, when the stock markets plummeted and anyone guess why or when, and how to handle unless the 'how', financial analysts, mathematicians and gurus of all kinds, in many cases exert disoriented practitioners whose ego collapses more than the bags.

The pity is that this exercise of humility it paid third who see their savings are disappearing without knowing why. Well, in this nebula, the common wisdom on Wall Street has developed over its history indicators that are not at all logical, but who have achieved high efficiency.

I, who was chairman of the board of advisors in Spain NFL, I can refer to the indicators that were designed on the sport and have worked well, frankly. Have nothing to do with the oval ball and bag, but let me tell you. In 1970 he merged the two leagues in the U.S., the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL).

Indicators and reliability

Well, if the team due to the Super Bowl came from the old NFL, this year the shares rose. This indicator is called Super Bowl Indicator. Reliability was 80%. They do not doubt that this percentage of success is higher than any analyst, do not you think?

A few weeks ago the Pittsburgh Steelers, playing in the old NFL, they won the Super Bowl, which indicates a 80% chance that the stock markets go up this year, is it true? But what happened last year? Won the New England Patriots, also of the former NFL? Well, yes, this time the indicator failed, because the market dropped by 40%. This was the 20% error.

It also seems that Feng Shui is the compass that guides the Asian investments. Harmony and balance are the guiding principles of this ancient technique. Where did the idea?

However, the fortunes of wealthy Hong Kong, when the tsunami hit by the crisis that affects us brutally and lose much of their assets and portfolios, they decided to apply this ancient technique. Thus has emerged the Feng Shui Index, developed by the Asia Pacific Market. This index each year prophesies about the market developments.

Feng Shui and investment

Eastern tycoons increasingly targeting their Feng Shui consultant to decide their investment. According to the FS Index, the volatility dominate the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during the first half of 2009, again in the summer and fall climbing in the months of this year.

If we analyze it from a rational point of view, this conduct falls within the logic. After years and frenzied face of great uncertainty, one based on harmony and balance to provide additional doses of security techniques ancienne regime.

Another strange case is very interesting and Harvard MBA Indicator. This indicator was developed by a former student of this university and gave warning signs in 1987, 2000 and 2007 before the stock markets began to fall.

How does this indicator? Well very simple: this theory argues that the greater the number of MBA students from Harvard to join the financial sector is much more likely to fall bags.

Will wonder why. Well the answer is very simple and logical: if there is a great attraction to the financial sector, especially banks, which attract students from MBA, it means that banks are paying high wages, probably exaggerated, as has been seen.

Here are some of the many curiosities that invade the financial world today, where any hint of light produces a tremendous glare.
