| | | Video di un tragico incidente di Rally: Il pilota investe gli spettatori e riparte | | 2008-07-11 19:49:41 | | Il rally è uno sport molto spettacolare ma a volte può essere pericoloso tanto per chi lo pratica quanto per gli appassionati che lo seguono sul ciglio della strada.Questo video è una tragica testimonianza di quanto è avvenuto nel corso di un rally in Cilie:All'arrivo Jordi Seron ha rilasciato un'intervista ai giornalisti, in cui ha detto: "Sono tranquillo. Sono cose che succedono in questo sport. Per ora però preferisco non aggiungere altro". Mentre, davanti ai poliziotti, che lo attendevano per ottenere spiegazione sull'accuduto, ha sostenuto di non essersi nemmeno accorto (!?).Mentre la giustizia sportiva potrebbe squalificarlo a vita, Serón dovrà difendersi anche dall'accusa di lesioni multiple e omissione di soccorso nel tribunale di Valdivia.Degli otto feriti nel corso dell'incidente, cinque non destano preoccupazione, mentre tre, di cui una bimba di 11 anni, sono in gravi condizioni.

| Transsyberia Rally 2008 powered by Sony Ericsson: Start into uncertainty! | | 2008-07-11 17:30:08 | | The starting shot for the Transsyberia Rally 2008 powered by Sony Ericsson was fired today at 11:20 am in the Red Square in Moscow. After the opening speech by Moscow’s deputy mayor Juri Rossljak, the winning car of the Transsyberia 2007 rolled through the starting arch first. The vehicle with the number 1, a Porsche Cayenne S Transsyberia, is steered by Ryan Millen – son of last year’s winner Rod Millen. Rubble, marsh, snow, sand and daily special tests lay between the 30 teams and their destination, the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar. Due to heavy rain, which set in shortly after the start, the first special test is already turn out to be a demanding challenge for the participants. | | By: Land Rover Chronicles | | |

| | | | Late Rally Not Enough | | 2008-07-01 10:05:00 | | The Red Sox staged a late comeback with two runs in the 9th inning last night, as Brandon Moss got a "catwalk" RBI double, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Tampa Bay Rays, as the Sox went down 5-4 at St. Petersburg.B.J. Upton hit Justin Masterson's first pitch of the night deep over the center field wall to put Tampa Bay ahead, and they extended it with a two-run shot by Gabe Gross. Masterson gave up three two-out walks that eventually scored and it cost him dearly.J.D. Drew hit his 16th home run of the season and his 12th for June, and it is the third most ever by a Sox player in June, with only Jackie Jensen and Ted Williams hitting more.Tampa Bay starter James Shields went 6+ innings in getting the win. He continued his home dominance, as his home ERA is about 2.00. He retired the first 10 hitters before Dustin Pedroia's infield single in the fourth.Tampa Bay is now 1 1/2 games up on the Red Sox, and 6 1/2 up on the Yankees, who lost at home to the Rangers last night.

Australia's population increased 1.59%, or by 331,872 people, last year, but the country is reportedly experiencing a construction shortfall of 30,000 new houses a year."This kind of population growth will support the housing market, but it means that we're facing a long-term under-supply problem regardless of what may look like an over-supply in today's softening (conditions)."Mr Lawless said buyers, particularly second or third-home owners with strong cash reserves, were well positioned to buy investment properties in the today's environment of flat price growth and oversupply.

| | Nurses Rally For Smaller, Safer Ratios | | 2008-06-22 09:00:00 | | COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio nurses and patients called for legislative action Tuesday in hopes of making the state's hospitals safer for patients. A House bill will be introduced that will require limits on how many patients a nurse could have on her floor at one time, NBC 4's Mike Bowersock reported. Nurses rallied at the Statehouse for smaller nurse-to-patient ratios. They claimed that in some units, the nurse-to-patient ratio was 14:1. They said a safe ratio is more like a quarter of that. "In order for patients to enter the hospital setting safely and exit safely, there needs to a 1:4 or less of nursing care assigned to a patient clientele," said Adrienne Zurub with National Nurses Organizing Committee. "The demographic is usually of high acuity. It is even more important for the sake of patients and for the sake of nurses to do their direct care to ensure those ratios are met."

| | | Mass rally for Pakistani judges | | 2008-06-18 23:32:57 | | Thousands of protesters have gathered outside Pakistan's parliament to demand the government reinstate judges fired last year by President Musharraf.The protesters' convoy of several hundred buses began earlier this week and finally rolled up to parliament at 0200 on Saturday (2000 GMT Friday).The crowds milled close to the floodlit parliament building awaiting speeches by senior lawyers.Mr Musharraf dismissed the judges in November when imposing emergency rule.After they won elections in February, both the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League of Nawaz Sharif (PML-N) promised to restore the judges.But they are split on the mechanics of how this should be done.'Musharraf's last days'Police expected the protest to swell to between 40,000 and 50,000 people.Barricades have been set up around the presidency and parliament buildings and extra security forces brought into the capital.The BBC's Barbara Plett in Islamabad says the authorities are nervous about potential | | By: A Pakistan News | | |

| | | Iacocca FTW! Chrysler to honor former exec with rally | | 2008-06-11 05:56:00 | | Lee Iacocca is a smart man. Father of both the Mustang and the minivan, the well revered auto exec was Chrysler's savior in the '80s. As such, the current Chrysler LLC will be holding a rally to honor its former patriarch on June 26th at its headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI. The rally will be attended by employees and Iacocca himself (no word on whether his BFF Snoop Dogg will make an appearance). Today's Chrysler, of course, bears little resemblance to the strong automaker helmed by Iacocca in the '80s. During the '90s, Chrysler followed its Big 3 brothers down a path of big pickups and SUVs for which now they are all paying dearly, and Iacocca made no bones about his feelings toward Daimler after the German automaker cut and ran away from their "merger of equals", saying in an interview with BusinessWeek last year that "Daimler screwed Chrysler royally." We can't help but wonder how the 84-year-old would run his old automaker today if given the reigns, but chances are he wouldn't wa | | By: Car News | | |

US stocks plunged on Friday, 6 June 2008, marking the Dow`s worst day in 15 months, after the US government said the May 2008 unemployment rate jumped the most in 22 years and oil prices shot to another record, renewing fears that the US economy faces 1970s-style stagflation.On BSE, 17.9 lakh shares were traded in the counter.

| | Canes Rally, Force Game 3 | | 2008-06-08 13:24:00 | | You have to admit, even knowing as Canes fan that Miami has the best team in the nation, it was a pretty scary sight seeing the scoreboard with us down 4-0. That 4th inning was absolutely crucial to the survival of our season.Miami's lineup came up big with 14 runs a day after producing a season low 5 hits in a disappointing 6-3 extra innings loss. Yonder Alonso was one of many to defy the swirling winds at the Light last night, smashing a 3 run shot to break a 4-4 tie in the 4th. Yasmani Grandal added another a few innings later to help solidify the lead and help the Canes hold on another day.Now we have to rely on Enrique Garcia to pitch the best he has all year, or at least do well enough to keep us in the game so that we can advance to Omaha. Any loss would render this amazing season an utter failure and a complete disappointment. A #1 ranking means nothing without the ring to show for it.

| | Support for commodity rally showing signs of strain | | 2008-06-04 11:45:00 | | NEW YORK - THREE of the pillars that have supported a record rally in commodities prices are showing signs of strain, possibly signaling a pause or an end to the markets' steep climb.Oil, metals and agricultural products have been among the biggest beneficiaries of a slide in the value of the US dollar, booming demand in developing Asian economies, and loose regulation governing speculation on the futures markets.But each of those factors are showing signs of reversal with moves to shore up the greenback, signs of slowing global demand growth, and steps to build up market surveillance by US regulators.'There are some serious headwinds being faced by the market right now that have entered the equation only recently,' said Mr Addison Armstrong, director of market research at Tradition Energy in Connecticut.A cooling of the red hot commodities rally would be good news for consumer nations like the United States, already hard hit by a housing slump.US Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

The Transsyberia Rally is the ideal event to experience this firsthand. You’ll be ‘hard- driven’ to find a better companion than the C702 Cyber-Shot-Cell-Phone, which was designed for outdoor operation.

| | | | How to Tell if a Rally Is Real | | 2008-05-19 02:07:00 | | In fits and starts, blue-chip stocks have been climbing higher since mid-March. But many market watchers aren’t convinced that the worst of this market storm, which began in October, is behind us.“This was certainly a market bottom, and a pretty good market bottom,” said Duncan W. Richardson, chief equity investment officer at Eaton Vance, the asset management firm in Boston. “But I don’t know if it was the bottom.”For that, investors will have to look for signposts in the future — not the past.For instance, if stocks are rallying on the belief that the economy is indeed on the mend, investors will need to see signs that it is actually strengthening. “There’s been a lot of stimulus put into place, and you’ve got to look for evidence that that’s working,” Mr. Richardson said.One important gauge will be corporate earnings — namely, profits among companies outside the financial services sector.“The world has figured out that the financial sector has serious pro | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |

| | Marlins Rally, Lose Anyway | | 2008-05-14 23:39:00 | | Well that was a tough series to swallow. The final victory this weekend put the Marlins at a sparkling 23-14 and gave them sole possession of the best record in baseball. Instead of continuing the momentum, Florida squandered their position on top and got swept by the lowly Reds.I'm not sure what this series proves. We've been beating up on weak teams to fatten up our record so far, and losing to a sub .500 team doesn't make us look any better. That being said, anybody is really vulnerable to getting swept by anybody else in baseball. It's not that hard. Happens all the time. Because of that, I wouldn't panic quite just yet if I were you.However, I wouldn't be completely unconcerned about the state of this team. They've been overachieving for quite some time now and the lack of talent will start to bite this team in the ass.

| | Market Rally Signals Stocks Looking Past Recession | | 2008-05-08 22:50:00 | | Albert Bozzo The April rally in stocks is suggesting that Wall Street may be looking past recession, if indeed the US economy is even in one. “What the market is saying is so far it doesn't look like a disaster, so we're going to gain back some of what we lost in the first quarter,” says veteran money manager James Awad, who’s currently chairman at WP Stewart Asset Management. “I see this as a wait-and-see period.” One big question for investors is whether the market’s decline in recent months was more a reaction to the ongoing credit crunch or anticipation of a more conventional economic recession, which lends itself to greater historical comparison. “We're of the opinion that the market has likely seen the worst,” says Standard & Poor’s Chief Investment Strategist Sam Stovall, who studied market behavior in and around the 11 recessions since 1945.

I advise all the supporters not to attend it. The gathering is banned," city police chief Muhammad Sabtu Osman told AFP earlier today.At about 9.15pm, Anwar took the stage to tell his supporters to wait two weeks on whether he would be running for parliamentary seat and return to active politics.PKR bagged 31 seats in last month's general elections and Anwar had said that one of the parliamentarians would resign so that the party de facto leader could contest in a subsequent by-election.In his speech, Anwar also attacked his nemesis, former | | By: What's Up | | |

| | Mazda 3 MPS Rally Car Revealed (AU) | | 2008-04-10 05:38:00 | | Mazda's rally history may not be as rich as some other Japanese marques, but Mazda Australia is more than willing to set the record straight. For their eighth Targa Tasmania excursion, held from April 15-20, Mazda will use a brand new Mazda3 MPS rally car. Mazda Motorsport chief Allan Horsley heads the team consisting of Rick Bates and Alister McRae and their co-drivers who will compete in the 2WD Showroom competition. Targa Tasmania rules state that the rally cars must be mostly standard, meaning that drivers will compete in cars featuring audio systems, electric windows and carpets and upholstery in tact. Additional safety equipment (roll-cage, five-point harness and fire extinguishers), as well as navigation equipment and extra brake ventilation, is fitted of course. "The team learned a lot from last year's event," says Bates. "With one Targa in the Mazda3 MPS under our belts we're all a lot more educated in terms of vehicle preparation and conservation during the event." The Targa | | By: Car Tuning Styling | | |

Las dos últimas pruebas especiales se disputaron en el Valle de Traslasierra, bajo condiciones difíciles por la altura, que supera los 2200 metros sobre el nivel del mar y por la lluvia que complicó la adherencia de los autos, obligando a los pilotos a recorrer los estrechos caminos barrosos de las cumbres cordobesas con extrema precaución.L | | By: TopCARSports | | |

| | Canes Rally Falls Short | | 2008-03-23 15:31:00 | | So down 16, my DirecTV goes off thanks to the showers outside so I give up on the game. I switch over to a video game, then glance over and somehow we are only down 2 at the very end. Unfortunately, it looks like the Canes fell about 15 seconds short of pulling one of the most improbable comebacks in NCAA history.Thanks to a flurry of points by Jack McClinton and two huge threes by Raymond Hicks, the Canes pulled to 74-72 with a few ticks left. The ensuing foul shot was airballed by the Texas player, but he made the 2nd and the Canes didn't have enough time to set up a shot with 1.8 seconds left. Disappointing end to a great comeback by an outmatched Canes team that for the first 30 minutes of the game had no business being on the same court as the Longhorns.This game almost reminds me of Game 2 of the 2006 EC Finals. The Heat were down huge the whole game and made a massive comeback in the final 90 seconds only to run out of time. It's a shame that Miami's season had to end like this | | By: State of Miami | | |
| | US stocks rally as confidence in financial institutions rises | | 2008-03-21 01:00:00 | | US stocks rallied Thursday, closing higher for the first week in a month as investors speculated that financial institutions plagued by the credit crisis may be pulling back from the brink. Financial stocks led the gains despite a private survey that suggested the world's largest economy could yet be headed toward a recession.The New York-based Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators fell 0.3 percent in February, its fifth straight monthly drop for the first time since the early 2001 recession.But analysts suggested now was the time to buy shares in financial firms that have suffered from billions of dollars in write-downs linked to a record number of foreclosures by homeowners with subprime mortgages."We're coming very close to a market bottom," Peter Sorrentino of Huntington Asset Management told Bloomberg Radio.

| | | `Big Rally' for Stocks to Continue, Jim Rogers Says | | 2008-03-20 10:57:00 | | March 19 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stocks, which surged the most in five years yesterday, will likely continue their rally this year because the ``out of control'' Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates to save investment banks from collapse, investor Jim Rogers said. The Fed's support is ``why we're having a big rally, but that's not going to solve the problem,'' Rogers, chairman of Rogers Holdings and co-founder of the Quantum Hedge Fund with George Soros, said during an interview with Bloomberg Television from Singapore. ``The system is terribly corroded.'' The central bank is helping securities firms while delaying and deepening a bear market and recession, said Rogers, who is betting against financial shares. The Fed cut its benchmark for overnight lending between banks yesterday, continuing the most aggressive series of reductions since the rate became an explicit policy target in the late 1980s.

| | Barton Biggs says Dow could rally 1,000 points | | 2008-03-20 10:55:00 | | By Brian Sullivan and Michael Patterson March 14 (Bloomberg) -- The decline in U.S. stocks is ``way overdone'' and the Dow Jones Industrial Average may rally 1,000 points, investor Barton Biggs said. ``We're in a financial panic,'' Biggs said during a telephone interview with Bloomberg Television from New York. ``We're setting up for a really big rally. I don't mean three or four hundred points on the Dow, I mean 1,000 points on the Dow. I don't know if we're going to get it next week or the week after. But this thing has gotten crazy and is overdone.'' Biggs, a former Morgan Stanley strategist who now runs the $1.5 billion hedge fund Traxis Partners LLC, said stock markets from Germany to Hong Kong may bottom out soon after tumbling this year. Biggs's prediction in March 2007 that U.S. stocks were near a low preceded a 16 percent rally in the Dow average during the next four months.
