Barcelona are a proven team of world number one at this time, Get tripple Champ.

Barcelona are a proven team of world number one at this time. With the team beat "Red Devil" Manchester United to a 2-0, score by Samuel Eto and Leonel Messi.
FC Barcelona were crowned European champions for a third time – and the second in four seasons – as a vibrant display of pass and move, capped by goals in either half from Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi, defeated Manchester United FC in Rome.
Messi decisive
Twenty minutes from time, that hard work was undone. Xavi was allowed to advance down the right; with time and space, the midfielder measured a pinpoint cross for Messi, enjoying similar freedom, and the UEFA Champions League's top scorer produced a fabulous header for his ninth goal of this campaign. Valdés promptly denied Ronaldo to preserve the two-goal cushion, yet the better openings continued to come at the other end – Van der Sar frustrating Carles Puyol twice and Iniesta. Sir Alex therefore missed out on joining Bob Paisley as the only manager to lift three European Cups. Instead, Guardiola's superbly inventive Barça became the first Spanish side to win league, cup and UEFA Champions League in the same season.
Relentless Ronaldo
Fourteen of the players who started the game had featured in a UEFA Champions League final before, yet initially it seemed United's experience would prove more telling. Ronaldo made his presence felt by unleashing a dipping free-kick that Víctor Valdés could only parry; former United defender Gerard Piqué's last-ditch tackle prevented Ji-Sung Park from converting the rebound. Ronaldo then had Valdés scrambling across goal twice in as many minutes with shots from distance. If an early breakthrough looked imminent, disastrously for United it arrived when Barcelona struck with their first real attack.

Ariel Atom, the high performance sports car

The Ariel Atom is a high performance sports car made by the Ariel Motor Company based in Somerset, England. The car is also manufactured under license in the United States, originally by Brammo Motorsports, currently by TMI AutoTech Inc. There have been three Ariel Atom incarnations to date: Ariel Atom, Ariel Atom 2 and Ariel Atom 3. The current model is the Ariel Atom 3 which is also the most powerful of the three. Ariel has also announced an RS Performance model with a motorcycle-derived 500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS) V8 engine.
The Ariel Atom is unusual in that it is exoskeletal — the chassis is prominently visible from the outside — and therefore lacks a roof, windows and other features normally found on road cars. It is available with a range of engines, the top of the range being a supercharged Honda Civic Type-R K20 and a supercharged 2.0 litre, 300 hp (220 kW) GM Ecotec engine. With each of these engines it can achieve acceleration rivaling that of much more expensive automobiles. Although the top speed of approximately 140 mph (230 km/h)-150 mph (240 km/h) is relatively tame compared to more exotic sports cars, the high power-to-weight ratio (approximately 500 bhp/ton, or 650 bhp/ton supercharged) affords it very fast acceleration and the low weight provides excellent control through corners.


The Ariel Atom has received great media interest. In 2004 it was tested by Jeremy Clarkson on the BBC motoring television programme Top Gear, where it lapped their test track faster than, most notably, a Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 and a Porsche Carrera GT and also creatively re-arranged Clarkson's face because of the open cockpit's lack of wind protection. It has also been featured on the Discovery Channel. The car also appears in the video games Project Gotham Racing 3, Project Gotham Racing 4 (available for the Xbox 360 console) and TOCA Racedriver 3 (available for PC, Xbox and PS2).
The Ariel Atom was also used (unofficially) by Wrightspeed Inc. as a base vehicle to prototype the electric running gear for an entirely new production vehicle which Wrightspeed is raising funds to build. The Atom-based prototype, called the X1, also has incredible acceleration, reaching 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3 seconds.

Australian Surfer saves kangaroo before become the victims of shark
A man who went out for a morning jog ended up rescuing a kangaroo from shark-infested waters.Neil McCallum was with his son at Kirra Beach, Queensland, when a small kangaroo jumped into the ocean. “We were totally dumbfounded,” he said. Soon the kangaroo was caught in a riptide.
“I realised if we didn't do something, that little roo would either drown or become lunch for some big hungry fish,” he said.
So he decided to act fast. He ran back to the family home, situated further up Kirra Beach, grabbed his surfboard and headed back to rescue the roo — but not before waking his wife and asking her to grab the video camera.
“I tried to get the kangaroo on my board a few times but he slipped off, so then I herded it over to a sand bar and he hopped through the water,” McCallum, 48, said.
He hauled it on to the board and took it to a sandbar. The kangaroo “bounded back off down the beach — but not before he looked back at me ... as if to say ‘Thanks for that, mate,'” McCallum said.
Kangaroo expert Pat O'Brien, from the Wildlife Protection Association of Australia, said the fact that kangaroos can swim is a well-kept secret.
He said during the recent floods in Queensland a kangaroo was found by fishermen swimming seven miles offshore after being swept out to sea by floodwaters.
“They are actually very good swimmers and even though people might not see it, they seem to go swimming quite often,” O'Brien said.

2009 UEFA Champions League Final Man U -vs- Barcelona
The 2009 UEFA Champions League Final will be the 54th final of the UEFA Champions League football tournament and the 17th final under the current format. The final is to be played at the 72,698-capacity Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the home of Roma and Lazio, on 27 May 2009, for the fourth time following 1977, 1984 and 1996.[1]The match will be contested by Barcelona and holders Manchester United, who are the first defending champions to reach the final since Juventus in 1997, and will be looking to be the first team to retain the European Cup since Milan in 1990. This is the fifth year in a row in which the final involves at least one English team
Pre-match
The 2009 UEFA Champions League Final logoThe Stadio Olimpico in Rome was selected as the venue for the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final at a meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on 4 October 2006. The committee – who decided the venue for the 2008 final and the 2008 and 2009 UEFA Cup Finals at the same meeting – based its decision on a number of factors, including stadium capacity, safety and security facilities, and accessibility.[35]
As with every UEFA Champions League final since 1999, the 2009 final was given its own unique visual identity, designed to give a distinctive flavour of the host city. Designed by London-based design and branding agency Radiant, the theme for the 2009 final was revealed on 25 October 2008, and it incorporates several iconic Roman images; the logo is centred around an outline of the European Champion Clubs' Cup, upon which is written "MMIX" – "2009" in Roman numerals; around the base of the trophy is a stylised laurel wreath, and in the background is a simplified image of the interior of the Colosseum. An alternative logo consisting of the UEFA Champions League logo surrounded by a laurel wreath was also released. The entire theme is based on a colour scheme of deep red and silver-white.[36]
Although the usual capacity of the Stadio Olimpico is over 72,000, this was reduced to approximately 67,000 for the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final. Approximately 10,000 tickets were made available to the general public, with recipients determined by a random ballot following an application period that ran from 2 March to 16 March 2009.[37] Each club was also allocated approximately 20,000 tickets for distribution to fans.[37] Manchester United chose to limit ticket applications to season ticket holders, with preference given to those who had attended more of the club's Champions League away fixtures that season.[38] Barcelona, meanwhile, allotted 80% of their ticket allocation to fans, with the remaining 20% going to the club's corporate sponsors. Unlike United, however, Barcelona opened ticket applications to all members of their supporters club.[39] The remaining 17,000 tickets will be retained by UEFA for the "European football family", which comprises UEFA itself, the local organising committee, UEFA's member associations, and its commercial partners.[37] Tickets for the 2009 final will be similar to bank cards, with an integrated chip storing the ticket holder's personal information in order to prevent the trade of counterfeit tickets.

Mexico's Virus Adds to Effects of Global Slump
MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's government Wednesday suspended all nonessential activities to battle a swine-flu epidemic, which may be responsible for some 150 deaths here and also is hammering Mexico's economy deeper into recession.
Mexico's health minister, José Ángel Córdova, urged private businesses to do the same. He also confirmed 99 cases of swine-flu infection, of which eight have proven fatal.
The official said that the government has decided to step up restrictions, including suspending government administrative activities from May 1 to May 5. The suspension excludes supermarkets, communications, transport, gasoline stations, health services, banks and other financial services, he said.

Finance Minister Augustín Carstens said he expected the epidemic will have a negative impact of between 0.3% and 0.5% of GDP with a "rebound of the same magnitude." Mr. Castens's view was considerably more optimistic than private-sector economists who predict deeper damage to an economy already reeling from a global recession.
Much of the damage is being suffered in Mexico City, a normally bustling metropolitan area of 24 million, where the streets are eerily silent because of the draconian measures authorities are taking to stop people from congregating and spreading the flu. Bars, movies, discotheques and theaters have been ordered closed, while restaurants are limited to offering home-delivery meals. Soccer games are being played to empty stadiums.
"Our business is off 90%," says Filberto Hernandez, manager of Mr. Sushi, a popular lunch place on the tony Masaryk avenue. Street vendors aren't doing much better. Elvira Degollado looks forlorn beside her pyramid of avocados and bags of pork cracklings. "I'm selling practically nothing," Ms. Degollado sighs. "People have no confidence that any food is safe to eat now."
Moody's Economy.com said Wednesday that the Mexican economy, taking into account the effect of the swine flu, might shrink as much as 6.2% this year. Its previous estimate was for a 4.5% decline. The economy already appears to be in deep trouble: On Wednesday, Mexico's central bank said the economy contracted as much as 8% in the first quarter compared to the year-earlier period. It also said the economy might drop 4.8% for the year.
Mexico City, the country's economic engine, has been running at less than half-speed since the government declared an emergency Friday. Local business associations calculate that businesses here are losing more than $100 million a day due to the forced closings. Industry groups have petitioned Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard to reconsider his decision to close bars, discos and restaurants until after Tuesday's Cinco de Mayo celebration.
The epidemic is also emptying hotels in Mexico's beach resorts as tourists cancel vacations and business travelers delay trips.
Mexican health officials say they have the epidemic in hand and are noticing positive trends in the figures. "The Mexican government has this situation under control. We have both the technical and human capabilities to deal with this," said Miguel Ángel Lezana, the government's chief epidemiologist.
The number of cases in Mexico City, hit hardest by the outbreak, is starting to decline, he said. All of the patients who died got sick before April 23, when the government found out this was swine flu and declared an emergency, he said. None of the patients who have gotten sick since then have died, suggesting that doctors can treat the illness more quickly with antiviral medicines.
The doctor said his greatest concern now is the economic impact of the epidemic. "I'm really worried about the effect this is having on the economy at a time like this," he said, referring to the global recession.
Officials don't have a definite idea of where the outbreak began. On Wednesday, Dr. Lezana said that among the first victims was a Bangladeshi man who worked as a street vendor in Mexico City and got sick in early April. The man, whose identity wasn't disclosed, met his brother in Merida, Yucatan, in early April and returned to Mexico City. His brother, who is either from Bangladesh or Pakistan, may have been ill, he said.
For Mexico's important tourism industry, which had already been struggling with a wave of negative publicity due to a sharp escalation in the country's drug violence, the virus couldn't have come at a worse time.
In the past few days, several cruise-ship companies have diverted scheduled stops at Mexican ports, the U.S. has cautioned American travelers to delay trips to Mexico, and Cuba and Argentina have suspended flights to the country. Ecuador on Wednesday also restricted flights to Mexico.
Late Wednesday, the health minister of Peru announced a suspensions of all flights to and from Mexico.
Holland America was one of several cruise-ship lines that announced their sailings had been affected by swine flu, diverting one of its tours from a port of call at Mazatlan. Hotels in Cancún reported a wave of cancellations. "One hotel says it has lost between 35% to 40% of its businesses due to the flu," said David Warick, of the Knowland Group, a Salisbury, Md., based marketing agency for the travel industry, who is conducting a survey of nearly 200 hotels.
The slowdown could have global implications. Burger King Holdings on Wednesday cut fourth-quarter and full-year earnings outlook, in part due to uncertainty from the impact of the swine flu. The company said it is bracing for double-digit same-stores sales decline in Mexico after the government limited the burger chain to drive-through and take-out sales in the wake of the swine-flu outbreak. Burger King has 118 locations in Mexico City.
Sectors that are seeing the biggest hit from the flu include transport, services, retail sales, tourism and entertainment, said Alfredo Thorne, chief Mexico economist for J.P. Morgan Chase.
"Mexico City and the surrounding State of Mexico account for 30% of national GDP," says Alfredo Coutño , director of Latin America for Moody's Economy.com, "and already for two weeks that area has been operating at only 30-40% of capacity -- we're talking about factories, services, all businesses. And this will probably go on for two more weeks."
