Thu 19 Jun, 2008Celtics win NBA title with 131-92 rout of Lakers
BOSTON - The Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title in relentless fashion, trouncing the L.A. Lakers 131-92 to win the NBA Finals in six games. It's the Celtics' first title in 22 years, dating back to the Larry Bird era.
Boston's 39-point win surpassed the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher. The 1965 Celtics beat the Lakers by 33 to win the title that year.
These Celtics completed the greatest one-year turnaround in NBA history. Last season they won just 24 games and missed the playoffs. This season they won 66 regular-season games and finished with a playoff-record 13 home wins.

Mon 19 May, 2008Press Conference: "Gomorrah"
The whole crew of the film Gomorrah gathered in the conference room to field questions from the international press. Present with director Matteo Garrone and investigative journalist Roberto Saviano were actors Maria Nazionale, Toni Servillo, Salvatore Cantalupo, and Gianfelice Imparato, screenwriter Maurizio Braucci, and producer Domenico Procacci. Highlights follow:
Matteo Garrone, on decisions about the film's form:
"To produce the kind of emotional impact that I experienced when I went there, I thought this was the right choice in terms of filming. I wanted the filming to be almost invisible. And the film also lends itself to this kind of language. Any comments or unnecessary camera work or framing didn't fit in with the film... War reports also influenced me and encouraged me to choose this kind of language, because you need to give the audience the feeling that they're actually there... So that people almost sensed the smells in those places."
Roberto Saviano, on seeing organized crime as a corporation:
"The day the Twin Towers collapsed, two Neapolitans call each other up and say, 'Oh, did you see? There's some land available in lower Manhattan.' What the rest of the world experienced as a tragedy, they saw as an investment opportunity. That gives you an idea of how dynamic this organization is."
Matteo Garrone, on the risks involved in shooting:
"The population was very available. They participated whole-heartedly, and they were the first spectators of the film. When we shot these scenes, they were always looking on, providing advice, and participating actively. Often, it's the cinema that helps to shape these people's taste, and not the opposite... Even if the film denounces a given "reality," it moves in a different direction. It's not designed to be a kind of an inquiry... I don't feel I'm in any danger... I think the film and the book are very complementary."
Gianfelice Imparato, on his part:
"I was very fortunate, because my character represented the fear of most people who find themselves in such a situation... Just to react to what Matteo said, I agree. My character had to be invisible. No one was supposed to see him. In fact, he was called the Submarine... I was able to apply the rule I use in theater, the rule of subtraction... I really had to feel this fear."

Mon 19 May, 2008MotoGP: Rossi out for new record (ANSA) - Le Mans, May 16 - Seven-time world champion Valentino Rossi will be out to make history this weekend with a win at Sunday's French Grand Prix which will bring his career tally to 90 and put him level with Angel Nieto as the second most successful GP rider ever.
Speaking at a pre-race press conference, the Yamaha rider said that ''ninety is a great number. Angel is a very good friend of mine but we'll try to equal his record as soon as possible''.
Nieto never raced in motorcycling's premier class and all his victories were on 50cc, 80cc and 125cc bikes The all-time GP career winner is Giacomo Agostini with 122 victories. However, Rossi this year has a chance of surpassing him for the number of wins in the premier class, 68. Rossi currently has 63.
''Ago is just five premier class wins ahead of me. But let's first tie this record of 90 Grand Prix victories and then go for 68 MotoGP wins,'' Rossi said.
In order to tie Agostini's 122 record, the 29-year-old Rossi needs 33 victories. On paper he could do this by the end of the 2009 season if he wins every race from now until then.
''This will be difficult... but not impossible,'' Rossi said with an impish grim.

Mon 28 Apr, 2008Grand Theft Auto receives acclaim
Highly-anticipated video game Grand Theft Auto (GTA) IV has received a string of near-perfect reviews ahead of its worldwide release on Tuesday.
The game is expected to break records for the fastest-selling game of all time and many shops are opening their doors at midnight for gamers.
The game has been classified as 18 in the UK and Mature for US gamers.
In the US, regulators have reminded parents that the title is not designed for children under 17 years old.
In a joint statement the ESRB and the National Institute on Media and the Family urged parents to check ratings on games for their children.
It said: "With the latest installment of the Grand Theft Auto series... parents need to be reminded to make sure their kids are playing games appropriate for their age and level of maturity.
"It is critical that parents consider the assigned rating carefully."
Thu 24 Apr, 2008Australian torch relay ends with minor skirmishesCANBERRA, Australia (CNN) --
Australian swimmer Ian Thorpe ended the Australian leg of the Olympic torch relay Thursday, touching the flame to light a cauldron after a run that was only slightly affected by anti-China protests.
At least five people were arrested during the torch relay that ended up more orderly than those in other countries but still heavy with people demonstrating both for and against China, which will host the 2008 Olympics in Beijing in August.
Police said the five were arrested for interfering with the event under special powers enacted in the wake of massive protests against Chinese policy toward Tibet.
The first scuffle took place at Reconciliation Place, where the relay began shortly before 9 a.m. local time (2300 GMT Wednesday). The incident took place shortly before the relay was to begin, prefaced by a ceremony of cleansing and dancing conducted by Aboriginal Australians.
In all, 80 runners carried the torch through Canberra along with five-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Thorpe.
Wed 23 Apr, 2008World Book and Copyright Day - April 23By celebrating this Day throughout the world, UNESCO seeks to promote reading, publishing and the protection of intellectual property through copyright. 23 April: a symbolic date for world literature for on this date and in the same year of 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice Druon, K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejía Vallejo. It was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference to pay a world-wide tribute to books and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading and gain a renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity. The idea for this celebration originated in Catalonia where on 23 April, Saint George's Day, a rose is traditionally given as a gift for each book sold. The success of the World Book and Copyright Day will depend primarily on the support received from all parties concerned (authors, publishers, teachers, librarians, public and private institutions, humanitarian NGOs and the mass media), who have been mobilized in each country by UNESCO National Commissions, UNESCO Clubs, Centres and Associations, Associated Schools and Libraries, and by all those who feel motivated to work together in this world celebration of books and authors.
