<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Un percorso tutto nuovo, </strong>che tiene conto delle esigenze del traffico cittadino, e una <strong>nuova collocazione temporale</strong>, non più in autunno ma <strong>all&#8217;inizio della primavera</strong>: sono queste le<strong> principali novità </strong>della prossima edizione della <strong>Milano City Marathon</strong>, la maratona milanese, nata nel 2000, che quest&#8217;anno si è presa una «pausa di riflessione», per ripresentarsi, in versione rinnovata <strong>domenica 11 aprile 2010</strong>, pochi giorni prima dell&#8217;apertura della Settimana del Design.</p>
<p><strong>La corsa di 42 chilometri partirà dalla Fiera di Rho Pero</strong>, attraverserà Figino, il Bosco in Città, la zona San Siro per poi sfociare in viale Certosa, Corso Sempione e <strong>chiudersi al Castello Sforzesco,</strong> dopo aver costeggiato il centro. «Il tutto lasciando libere le circonvallazioni esterne, che nelle scorse edizioni sono state il teatro di polemiche e insulti da parte degli automobilisti» ha precisato Linus, presidente onorario della manifestazione.</p>
<p>Spazio anche per nuovi formati, come la mezza maratona e la staffetta 4&#215;10 chilometri, che darà la possibilità anche ai meno allenati di partecipare alla gara.</p>
<p>«A dieci anni dalla sua nascita l&#8217;intenzione è quella di dare alla Maratona di Milano un respiro internazionale, facendo fermare la città per applaudire gli atleti e creando un appuntamento da segnare sul calendario, come avviene per le grandi maratone cittadine» ha spiegato alla presentazione di oggi Michele Acquarone, direttore generale di Rcs Sport, organizzatore dell&#8217;evento.</p>
<p>Acquarone ha assicurato che il nuovo percorso, nel rispetto della tradizione, sarà «veloce» e darà agli atleti la possibilità di migliorare il loro tempo. Già garantita la partecipazione della kenyota Margaret Okayo, due volte prima a New York. «Vogliamo coinvolgere non solo i 6000 corridori, ma tutti i milanesi» ha spiegato Giovanni Terzi, assessore alle Attività produttive del Comune di Milano, che nei mesi scorsi aveva chiesto agli organizzatori di ripensare la data della Milano City Marathon.</p>
<p>«Stiamo cercando di convincere i commercianti a tenere i negozi aperti e stiamo valutando con la Regione la possibilità di istituire una domenica ecologica in concomitanza con la maratona» ha concluso Terzi.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Why do I always type a little blurb here? It never really says anything; I just feel weird diving straight into the match results themselves without any preamble. It&#8217;s too&#8230; impersonal that way. So hello, hi, here we are, so let&#8217;s get down to it:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Calcio:</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:line-through;"><span style="font-weight:normal;"> </span></span></strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-657 alignright" style="text-decoration:line-through;" title="Good to have you back." src="http://apintofthebitter.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/totti.png?w=268" alt="" width="241" height="270" /><strong><span style="text-decoration:none;"><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">AS Roma</span></span></strong><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="text-decoration:none;"> Totti 3-1 Bari</span></span> &#8211; <em>Romanisti</em> always repeat one thing when <em>Er Pupone</em> is sidelined: No Totti, no Party. But sometimes we get so caught up in our own negativity that we forget the flip-side of that equation: Totti = party. <em>Er Capitano</em> made his return today against Bari, back from over a month out after going into knee surgery earlier in the season. And just to remind us why we miss him when he&#8217;s gone, he scored a hattrick. In the first half hour. The first came on 7&#8242; &#8211; a spot kick after Jean-François Gillet downed Mirko Vucinic in the area. Then, only 7 minutes later, Totti launched a searing free-kick into the back of the net to make it 2-0. On 28&#8242;, he scored a world-class &#8211; and seemingly impossible &#8211; goal, beating Bari&#8217;s defense, Gillet and firing an acute-angle shot into the far corner. Beauty. Roma did their usual thing in the second half, sitting comfortably back on their large lead and letting <em>i Galletti</em> tire themselves out. However, the visitors finally pulled one back when youngster Marco Andreolli nodded the ball into his own net on 73&#8242;. A bit of a blemish, but a pretty good party nonetheless. To Gillet&#8217;s credit, he was outstanding for most of the match (those stretches when Totti was not destroying his self esteem), as was Julio Sergio, who was very solid behind the Roman back four. Mirko Vucinic was phenomenal, back to his old self again, while the only real black spot for Roma was Nicolas Burdisso, who was an absolute horrorshow at right-back. Also, the own goal was unfortunate. But all in all, a very good party with <em>Er Capitano</em> back at the helm. I can&#8217;t wait until we get Danielino back &#8211; then we can <span style="font-weight:bold;">really </span>party.</p>
<p><strong>Inter 3-1  Bologna &#8211; </strong>The Inter Offside webpage referred to this match as a &#8216;Mortadella Speedbump&#8217; &#8212; that pretty much sums it up for me. The reigning champions probably felt as if they could simply stroll into the Stadio Dall&#8217;Ara and come back out with three easy points, and their hosts failed to prove them wrong. There was a bit of tension early in the match; Diego Milito put Inter ahead on 22&#8242; off of a corner from Maicon, only for Marcelo Zalayeta to equalize within 60 seconds, smashing the ball past Julio Cesar and into the top corner. The next 20 minutes saw both teams get really into the game, but Mario Balotelli should have put his side ahead when he beat the Bologna backline and dummied &#8216;keeper Emiliano Viviano &#8211; only to waste enough time that Viviano was able to get up and rob him of his much belated shot. One could see Jose Mourinho rise from his bench, flailing in anger. However, Supermario was able to atone for his sins just before the half; another Maicon corner saw the young striker rise powerfully in the air and head home to make it 2-1 for the <em>Nerazzurri. </em>He picked up a knock in the process, however, and was subbed off for Samuel Eto&#8217;o, who made a rare start on the bench. The visitors would make their lead more comfortable midway through the second half, with Esteban Cambiasso, who was in excellent form, burying a left-foot strike on 72&#8242;. To be honest, the hosts never looked like they were going to get back into the game, and Inter cruised to a comfortable win over the <em>Emiliani.</em></p>
<p><strong>AC Milan 4-3 Cagliari &#8211; </strong>It was a bit of a rollercoaster ride in the San Siro this afternoon, but <em>i Rossoneri </em>came out on top. Clarence Seedorf gave the home side an early lead on 5&#8242;, but <em>gli Isolani </em>weren&#8217;t interested in falling behind and Alessandro Matri equalized just 3 minutes later. The visitors would take the lead on 30&#8242; when Andrea Lazzari found himself completely unmarked at Milan&#8217;s back post and gave his side a 2-1 lead. This time though, it was Milan&#8217;s turn to come from behind, as Marco Borriello and Alexandre Pato bagged a pair of goals in quick succession to put their side up 3-2 by the 39th minute. Pato&#8217;s goal was particularly nice, a rocket-powered blast into the top shelf which sent the San Siro crowd into an uproar. Milan would further consolidate their lead after the break, with Ronaldinho stepping up to the spot after Borriello had been felled in the area and burying it, sending Federico Marchetti the wrong way. He seems to score all of his goals that way, doesn&#8217;t he? More on him later. Cagliari was able to reduce Milan&#8217;s lead to a single goal when Nenê beat Dida on 68&#8242;, but Milan would hold onto their rather precarious lead and edge their visitors 4-3 in what turned out to be an exciting goalfest. Now, Ronaldinho. He was quite possibly &#8211; I&#8217;d almost say easily &#8211; the man of the match; back to his Barcelona form and full of tricks and flicks. That he only got onto the scoresheet via PK is misleading, as he was the creative force behind Milan&#8217;s devastating offense all night. That being said, their defending was quite shoddy, and against a better team (no offense, Cagliari, I like you guys) they might have come away with a rather different result. That being said, an excellent high-scoring match to put <em>il Diavolo </em>into 3rd place. Who says Serie A is boring?</p>
<p><strong>Juventus 1-0 Udinese &#8211; </strong>Oh that&#8217;s right, <em>Juventini </em>say Serie A is boring. Because Juve is boring. <em>I Bianconeri </em>edged, well, <em>i Bianconeri </em>in Turin to keep their <em>Scudetto </em>hopes alive tonight. After the kickoff, it was all Juventus; Diego and Mauro Camoranesi both came close in the first quarter of an hour. After that though, the game went into a bit of a lull, and neither side looked dangerous (or did anything important) before the halftime break &#8211; unless you count a Udinese goal rightly disallowed for offside. After the restart, it was once again Juventus who set the pace, and this time it paid off. Summer signing Martin Cácares set up summer signing Fabio Grosso, who beat Samir Handanovic with ease to put the home side up 1-0 on 51&#8242;. Udinese fought hard throughout the remainder of the half, and both Handanovic and Gigi Buffon were called upon to make class saves, but ultimately the most exciting thing to happen before the fulltime whistle was Alessandro Del Piero&#8217;s appearance as a substitute. <em>Juventino</em> or not, you gotta love that guy.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Football:</em></strong></p>
<div id="attachment_976" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 209px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-976  " title="Defoe powerslides" src="http://apintofthebitter.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/jermain-defoe.jpg?w=284" alt="" width="199" height="210" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A hattrick? No, that was just a warm-up.</p></div>
<p><strong>Tottenham Hotspur 9-1 Wigan Athletic &#8211; </strong>Stop the press! What in God&#8217;s name do they put in the water in Tottenham? The Spurs recorded the second-biggest Premiership blowout in history at White Hart Lane over a hapless Wigan Athletic, with Jermain Defoe grabbing 5 himself in the second half. Peter Crouch opened the scoring for the home side on 9&#8242;, and believe it or not, that was it for the first half. Defoe got started right away after the break though, netting on 51&#8242; and 54&#8242;, before Paul Scharner (who may have also pulled a Thierry Henry) pulled one back for the Latics to make it 3-1 on 57&#8242;. Defoe wasn&#8217;t done yet though, and to complete his hattrick restored the Spurs 3-goal margin just seconds later. Aaron Lennon got in on the action with a goal of his own on 64&#8242;, and then Jermain Defoe topped off his hattrick with a brace on 69&#8242; and 87&#8242;. Chris Kirkland put the ball into his own net on 88&#8242; to make it 8-1, and then Niko Kranjcar scored in the 4th minute of stoppage time to make the scoreline a whopping 9-1. To put this into perspective, didn&#8217;t table-toppers Chelsea lose to Wigan this season? <strong>Holy shit, dude.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chelsea 4-0 Wolverhampton &#8211; </strong>Speaking of Chelsea, Carlo Ancelotti&#8217;s men took part in a rout of their own this weekend, though it seems rather paltry in comparison with their London neighbours&#8217; rather excessive beatdown. The Wolves simply had no chance at Stamford Bridge, and with Florent Malouda opening the scoring with a 25-yard strike on 5&#8242;, it seemed a cricket score was imminent. Michael Essien furthered that notion, bagging a brace within a 10 minute span by finding the back of the Wolves&#8217; net on 12&#8242; and 22&#8242;. The visitors simply had no response to the dominant Chelsea play, and their ill-advised 2-5-3 formation left plenty of gaps for the Blues to exploit. The teams went into the half with the score 3-0, but not before Sylvain Ebanks-Blake forced a class save from Petr Cech. As the game progressed, Wolverhampton reverted to a more solid 4-4-2, it was not enough to stop Joe Cole from scoring his first Premiership goal in over a year, making the score 4-0. Another quite impressive blowout/shutout from Ancelotti&#8217;s men, but until they score 9 goals I think they&#8217;ll feel that their crosstown rivals have the upper hand. Then again, they&#8217;re leading the league, so who cares about the Spurs?</p>
<p><strong>Liverpool 2-2- Manchester City &#8211; </strong>Every time a Koppite cries, and angel get its wings. Or so I&#8217;ve been led to believe. Either way, both the Reds and the Blues (no, no, other Reds. Other Blues too.) dropped points and further away from the top 4 with a 4-goal draw at Anfield on Saturday. Martin Skrtel gave the home side the lead on 50&#8242;, only for Emmanuel Adebayor and Stephen Ireland to respond on 69&#8242; and 76&#8242; respectively to give the Citizens a 2-1 lead. A loss at this stage in the competition would have meant disaster for the Scousers, but luckily Yossi Benayoun cut any Mancunian celebrations short by responding with a goal of his own on 77&#8242; to equalize and make it 2-2. And 2-2 the score would remain. This result is neither a complete disaster for Mark Hughes or Rafa Benitez, but you gotta think that the two of them, and their grossly underperforming squads, have gotta be feeling a little uncomfortable right now.</p>
<p><strong>Manchester Utd 3-0 Everton &#8211; </strong>As for the other Reds and Blues of Manchester and Liverpool, a draw was not in the cards. The Red Devils trounced the Toffeemakers at Old Trafford to stay within five points of Chelsea in the table. Darren Fletcher opened the scoring for the homeside on 35&#8242; with a beautiful goal that has been compared (somewhat hyperbolically) to the work of Zinedine Zidane. After the half Michael Carrick and Luis Antonio Valencia would add a goal each, while David Moyes&#8217; men could do little but keep the scoreline respectable. I gotta say, the Merseyside derby is going to be downright depressing this year&#8230;</p>
<div id="attachment_977" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 220px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-977 " title="Giorgio Chiellini's iron foot went a long way towards helping Sunderland." src="http://apintofthebitter.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/robin-van-persie-001.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="210" height="126" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Pictured: Arsenal player not fit for today&#39;s match.</p></div>
<p><strong>Sunderland 1-0 Arsenal &#8211; </strong>Oh, Arsenal. The Gooners had gone over a dozen games without a loss, but as usual Arsene Wenger&#8217;s men got a little too close to the sun and their wings simply burned up. Also, they had <strong>a lot </strong>of injuries. The Londoners put in an unfocused and ramshackle performance against a determined Sunderland side who clearly wanted the result more. And they got it. Sunderland simply rode out wave after wave of potent Arsenal attacking play, though admittedly, it didn&#8217;t seem like the Gunners wanted to do much other than controlling the ball in midfield. On 71&#8242;, the home side finally got their chance and Darren Bent buried it to make the score 1-0 for the Black Cats. Wenger&#8217;s men had simply no will to get back into the game (perhaps their minds were occupied with thoughts of next week&#8217;s clash against Chelsea) and ultimately fell to a steely Sunderland side. This is the second time this year that the Black Cats have beaten a top 4 side &#8211; and this time it can&#8217;t even be blamed on a beach ball.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>Futbol:</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Real Madrid 1-0 Racing Santander &#8211; </strong>Well, <em>Los Galacticos </em>are still without their biggest star &#8211; Cristiano Ronaldo &#8211; and they&#8217;re still not playing as &#8216;<em>Galacticos&#8217; </em>perhaps should, but they&#8217;re finally where <em>Galacticos </em>should be: on top. Gonzalo Higuaín provided the difference that Manuel Pellegrini&#8217;s men needed to take down mid-table residents Racing Santander, with a strike from close range on 22&#8242;. Both sides had second-half goals disallowed for offsides, with both Karim Benzema and Sergio Canales putting the ball into the back of the net only to be notified by the referee that they need not celebrate. As has been the norm this year, Madrid did not completely convince, but their narrow victory was nevertheless enough to see them go top of the table for the first time this season after Barcelona picked up a similarly unconvincing result in Bilbao.</p>
<div id="attachment_979" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 207px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-979" title="Grizzly Bear Country, motherfuckers" src="http://apintofthebitter.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/grizzly-bear.jpg?w=197" alt="" width="197" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Because Bear Country is more frightening than Basque Country.</p></div>
<p><strong>Barcelona 1-1 Athletic Bilbao &#8211; </strong>Treble Champions they may be, but at times this season Barcelona have failed to look the part. They faltered again in their title race during this weekend&#8217;s trip to Basque Country. Though many of their starting 11, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, were out with knocks, one could still expect Barcelona to produce a result against midtable opponents such as Bilbao. Early in the match, <em>Los Leones </em>put pressure on their visitors, peppering them with corners and free kicks, while Barca looked simply content to play on the counter. Soon however, Barca wrested control of possession from their hosts, and began to look like the side to score, though when it came to finishing they came up empty &#8211; at least in the first half. However, after the restart the <em>Blaugrana </em>got off on the right foot, with Daniel Alves running on to the end of a perfect throughball from Xavi and finding the back of Bilbao&#8217;s net. Athletic immediately responded by bringing Toquero into the game; a move that would prove very effective as the substitute would equalize for the home side within 10 minutes of coming onto the pitch, running onto a long ball and smashing it home. All that was left to do for Bilbao was to park the bus and ride out the waves of Barcelona attacks &#8211; which they did &#8211; in order to gain a point and drop the reigning champions down to second place. What has happened to Pep Guardiola&#8217;s men?</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><em>Fußball: </em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Bayern München 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen &#8211; </strong>Well, <em>Die Roten</em> haven&#8217;t sunk any further into their slump, but they haven&#8217;t de-slumped either, achieving a draw against league-leading Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz-Arena this weekend. Mario Gomez and Stephan Kießling each netted for their respective sides early on in the match; both goals came within the first 15 minutes of play. Bayern started off energetically, with their aggressive attack leading to Mario Gomez&#8217;s opener on 8&#8242;, which he sidefooted in on an advantage play after Miroslav Klose was fouled. However, their visitors soon caught up to them in pace and were able to exploit the home side&#8217;s defensive weaknesses; Kießling easily beat the offside trap and slotted the ball coolly past Hans-Jörg Butt to make it all square on 14&#8242;. Each team had spells of pacy and bright looking attack, but neither could capitalize during those stretches; Leverkusen keeper Rene Adler saved his side time and time again with world class saves to prevent Bayern from getting out in front. Even Thomas Müller, who has so often been Bayern&#8217;s ace-in-the-hole this season proved ineffectual, and was subbed in the second half for Ivica Olic, returning from a lengthy injury layoff. The chances petered out towards the end of the game, and a 1-1 draw it would remain &#8211; a result that sees Bayer reclaim 1st and Bayern languish in 7th.</p>
<p><strong>Werder Bremen 6-0 SC Freiburg &#8211; </strong>Poor Freiburg. On more than a few occasions this season they have found themselvesin situations where they are simply out of their depth. The home side suffered a humbling defeat to <em>Die Grün-Weißen </em>in their own Badenova-Stadion, falling 6-0 in an all-out slaughter. Hugo Almeida opened the scoring for the visitors on 33&#8242;, Marko Marin added a second on 55&#8242;, Almeida doubled his money on 57&#8242;, Mesut Özil netted on 67&#8242;, Naldo on 73&#8242; and substitute Markus Rosenberg made it 6-0 with 8 minutes left to play. Freiburg once again made a case for having the worst defense in the Bundesliga (they have the highest number of goals against; 30) and sit 13th in the league table, while this victory propels Werder Bremen to second, just a point behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen. I guess the English aren&#8217;t the only ones who know how to have a good blowout!</p>

<div id="attachment_1085" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://bettingexpertblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/inter-barca.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1085" title="inter-barca" src="http://bettingexpertblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/inter-barca.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="226" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Henry can do his magic at the San Siro, he might not need his hands for this.</p></div>
<p>Group F is still wide open for any teams to qualify for the next round in the Champions League. Inter Milan tops the group but there is only 2 points difference from the bottom of the group. Whoever wins the tie between Inter and Barcelona could have one foot in the next round, a draw will fuel more excitement for the finale match 2 weeks from now. But first, there is a titanic tie at the San Siro, Tuesday evening where the Italian champions host the reigning Champions League and Spanish champion, Barcelona.</p>
<p>Inter are front runners for qualifying for the next round and their weekend 3-1 away win against Bologna certainly sets an expectation for the tie against Barcelona this coming Tuesday. Jose Mourinho is having  management issue with Mario Balotelli so expect Samuel Eto to start against his former club. Inter could be without young full-back Davide Santon, teenage Nigerian Joel Chukwuma Obi and influential Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder as they are unavailable due to injury.</p>
<p>The defending champions are in trouble as they 3<sup>rd</sup> in their group and leveled with Rubin Kazan at 5 points. They will need to win at the San Siro to put pressure on the others in the group. It could be a tough task for Barcelona as they drew 1-1 at the Nou Camp in Match day 1. The Catalan club will need Leo Messi, doubtful after incurring a facial injury vs. Bilbao, and Henry to pull out their best in order to escape elimination in the Champions League. Daniel Alves is currently at his top form and he could be on the verge to score a free kick goal if he gets the chance. Eric Abidal and Toure Yaya will not travel to Italy after contracting swine flu and now under quarantine.</p>
<p>Whoever loses this match could get knocked out of the Champions League so no one will give any quarters in the San Siro. A stalemate will most likely be the only option out for the neutrals but the Inter faithful will want their team to advance through on the night. Barcelona could well be the first team not to qualify for the last 16 as the reigning champion. The return of Swedish, <em>Zlatan Ibrahimovic</em> could haunt his old club.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Pomeriggio culturale per la nazionale neozelandese di rugby, in Italia per la sfida di San Siro contro gli azzurri: si sono recati a Santa Maria delle Grazie per ammirare il Cenacolo di Leonardo. Unico problema: vedendo Gesù ed i discepoli schierati in quel modo, hanno pensato che il quadro rappresentasse la mischia della nazionale israeliana.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Negli anni ’70 non avevo un’età utile per assistere con interesse e coscienza alle attenzioni che tutti i media gli hanno dedicato, dunque l’ho visto per la prima volta in tv non molti anni fa ospite in uno dei talk show di Fabio Volo su Italia1; poi, nel corso di questi ultimi anni, l’ho rivisto a più riprese su youtube. Lo scorso 7 Novembre però sono andato alla Cooperativa del Popolo di Cisliano (Milano) per vederlo dal vivo: l’associazione <a href="http://www.malaricordi.com/">Mala..ricordi??</a> infatti quel sabato ha organizzato un incontro con lui, <a href="http://www.lutring.com/">Luciano Lutring</a>, milanese classe 1937, noto ex malavitoso ormai tornato sulla “retta via”. Nonostante abbia effettuato decine di rapine a mano armata tra gli anni ’50 e gli anni ‘60, il Nostro non ha mai ucciso nessuno, e i suoi comportamenti galanti provenienti dal suo amore per la bella vita gli hanno fatto guadagnare il titolo di “gangster gentiluomo”. Oggi Lutring, per le cronache di una volta noto come &#8220;Il Solista del mitra&#8221; (definizione coniata da Franco Di Bella del Corriere della Sera), è un abile oratore, che eccelle in ironia, ma non si può dire sia uno scrittore dello stesso livello. Non a caso la sua autobiografia, <em>Una storia da dimenticare</em> (<a href="http://www.agaredizioni.it/">Agar Edizioni</a>, 2003), è impostata come una lunga intervista; più parlata che scritta. La scrittura naïf (lo stesso Lutring si definisce “un mediocre scrittore”, p. 250), una ricostruzione a tratti confusionale e vari refusi, non intaccano però la sua storia di vita vissuta, che vale la pena di essere conosciuta.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1501" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blaluca.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lutring1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1501" title="lutring" src="http://blaluca.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lutring1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="296" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Luciano Lutring, &#34;Una storia da dimenticare&#34; (Agar ed.)</p></div>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">Dal punto di vista storico i ricordi di Lutring hanno il loro valore. Soffermandosi su Milano, per esempio, dal libro scopro che una volta anche San Siro &#8211; oggi tra i quartieri residenziali, o dormitori che dir si voglia, più quotati in città &#8211; era una vera periferia metropolitana; letteralmente lo è ancora, visto che il cartello stradale con la scritta &#8216;Milano&#8217; barrata dista circa 5 km da stadio e ippodromo, ma una volta, almeno fino all&#8217;immediato dopoguerra, era una zona piuttosto malfamata a leggere il racconto di Lutring. Proprio come l’autore di <em>Una storia da dimenticare</em> sono cresciuto a San Siro, dunque questa descrizione del quartiere alla stregua di un &#8220;ghetto&#8221; (pare che i tram non si spingessero oltre Piazzale Segesta anche per questioni di sicurezza) mi fa un certo effetto. Negli anni &#8216;80, oltre alle dicerie sui residenti di un paio di vie off limits ma comunque defilate ed evitabili, tra i &#8220;fuori luogo&#8221; della zona ricordo giusto qualche giovane tossicodipendente (tra l&#8217;altro tutti spariti nel corso del tempo..) che magari chiedeva moneta anche a noi ragazzini; niente di più, niente di che. San Siro negli anni ’50 e ’60 non era un quartiere né ricco né benestante come appare oggi, anzi dal racconto di Lutring si evince fosse tra i più poveri visto che durante la seconda guerra mondiale è stato tra i più bombardati della città: data la presenza di “moltissime fabbriche […] la zona era considerata un obiettivo militare” (p. 61). Ma Lutring non si ferma a San Siro, visto che per i suoi colpi ha girato mezza Europa.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_1500" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 710px"><a href="http://blaluca.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lutring-carabinieri-it.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1500" title="Lutring &#38; Carabinieri.it" src="http://blaluca.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/lutring-carabinieri-it.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="525" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Luciano Lutring alla Cooperativa del Popolo di Cisliano (foto di Michele Mazzanti)</p></div>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">“Il Solista del mitra” descrive con efficacia l’ambiente e il sistema carcerario a cavallo tra gli anni ’60 e ’70, quando ha scontato parte della pena inflittagli dai tribunali: 12 anni complessivi di carcere, un primo periodo in Francia, dove è stato graziato da Georges Pompidou, un secondo in Italia, dove ha ricevuto la grazia da Giovanni Leone (è uscito definitivamente di prigione nel 1977). A Parigi, rinchiuso nella ‘Maison d&#8217;arrêt de la Santé’, ha iniziato a dedicarsi alla scrittura e alla pittura e, soprattutto nel secondo campo, ha raggiunto i meriti artistici utili, insieme alla buona condotta, per farsi concedere le grazie. Ma mentre lui dipingeva, le carceri erano in movimento, spesso in subbuglio anche a causa degli avvenimenti esterni: erano gli anni della contestazione e della strategia della tensione.<br />
Quella di Lutring è una storia da film, tanto che quando è riuscito a far uscire dal carcere &#8211; poco dopo la reclusione e tramite i suoi avvocati &#8211; un memoriale poi pubblicato da Longanesi (una “storia […] non del tutto dettagliata” visto che “vi erano ancora delle inchieste in corso”, p.189) il regista romano Carlo Lizzani (1922) ha realizzato <em>Svegliati e uccidi</em> (1966), film tratto da questa prima autobiografia. D’altronde scene come quella dell’inseguimento e del ferimento da parte della polizia a Pigalle, Parigi, con seguente arresto avvenuto in pratica al risveglio dal coma in ospedale, hanno proprio il respiro da grande schermo.<br />
Lutring alla fine non rinnega nulla (“ogni singolo gesto, ogni singolo momento mi hanno condotto alla serena consapevolezza dell’uomo che sono diventato”, p. 278) ma questa presa di coscienza non toglie amarezza a questa storia, a volte fortunata a volte tragica (ha perso un figlio quattordicenne), di un bandito d’altri tempi, oggi persona quanto meno smaliziata, spesso spassosa e all’apparenza affabile. A testimoniare il cambiamento c’è proprio questa autobiografia: se la parte sulle rapine, sulla malavita, è paradossalmente la meno coinvolgente e la più confusa, significa che Lutring ha quanto meno cercato di rimuoverla. Per quanto la pubblicazione di questo e altri libri ad alcuni possa sembrare contraddire questo processo, i racconti dal vivo di quelle esperienze lo avallano, vista la presenza costante della maschera dell’ironia.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[By Rugby World reader Ken FitzGerald Once more unto the breach dear friends…. This famous quote is f]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>By Rugby World reader Ken FitzGerald</p>
<p>Once more unto the breach dear friends….</p>
<p>This famous quote is from Shakespeare’s play Henry the V. The breach in the quote refers to a whole in the wall surrounding the town of Harfleur in Northern France. Henry and is army had besieged the town in 1415. During a lull in the fighting Henry addressed his exhausted troops to ignite their passions and motivate them to attack the whole in the wall again and to basically keep going in the face of adversity. Most of us have probably seen clips of this blood rousing speech over the years performed on film by Laurence Olivier or Kenneth Brannagh. The reason I mention this is for two reasons. The first being I was struck by the thought of what words of inspiration Martin Johnson uses on his players before a game; and the second being will Graham (<em>gis’a hug Shawsy</em>) Simmons’s producer at BSkyB have to use a similar speech to get him to interview the goliath that is the England manager again?  If you haven’t seen the post match interview from last Saturdays England Argentina game u-tube it. The ending is hilarious. To say the Martin Johnson looked like a man under siege is an understatement.    </p>
<p>No matter how poor a spectacle the game was England got a win and they will take positives from that. Argentina is a difficult side to play against and a win is a win. But is this England side paralysed by a fear of failure?  Has Martin Johnson become for England in just over a year what Roy Keane did for Sunderland? Isn’t man management and motivation about empowering decision making on the field not stifling it?  With the exception of more decoy runners being used I saw no improvement in England’s attacking play and both Geraghty and Wilkinson didn’t have good days at the office.   Regardless I think England will be bolstered this week by the inclusion of the excellent Simon Shaw and will go into the game believing they can at least compete with the All Blacks this weekend. I fear it will be all one way traffic in Twickenham though. </p>
<p>I must admit I didn’t see the Scotland Fiji game but am always pleased for a Celtic win; and the All Blacks proved that their brand is a big draw just about everywhere. Great to see a rugby match going ahead in the San Siro, a source in the ERC tells me it may be one of several Italian venues being considered for the Heineken Cup final in 2013.   </p>
<p>And so that brings me onto Ireland. I was right about the cataclysmic tussle prediction last week but not about the result. Was this the third and fourth best teams in the world playing each other? If you believe in the rankings is was. While not a great spectacle and the atmosphere in Croke park was nothing like the Heineken Cup semi final last May. It was still by and large a fascinating encounter. It was Brian O Driscolls 100<sup>th</sup> cap, it was  Rockys return to his adopted home city and it was Cian Healy’s test debut. The selection of Paddy Wallace at inside centre absolutely baffled me. The Wallabies couldn’t believe their luck and the excellent Pocock and Elsom ran down the ten twelve channel all day. O&#8217;Gara had a shaky start giving O’Driscoll a hospital pass leading to the softest try the Wallabies will see all tour, and the rest of his game wasn’t much better. Which brings me to the question of Declan Kidneys selection policy. If he dropped Gordon D’Arcy because he believed he wasn’t playing well for Leinster and he picked Paddy Wallace because he believed he was playing well for Ulster then why was Ronan O&#8217;Gara selected at out half when Leinsters Jonathan Sexton is clearly the inform out half in the country at the moment ?  Why did the wily Kidney not play Tommy Bowe at inside center and the in from Shane Horgan on the wing with Keith Earls on the bench? This team was not picked on form and was looking dead in the water until Cian Healy grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and charged twenty meters over the gain line and deep into the wallaby twenty two late in second half  igniting the passions of the seventy odd thousand in the stadium. They showed a lot of belief to stay in the game and fought hard for the draw. But Ultimately Ireland got out of jail with a last gasp try from their mercurial talismanic captain. But let’s hope the fifteen to face South Africa in two weeks are all their on merit and not for services rendered. This of course won’t happen, which makes me think of what words of inspiration the crafty Cork man uses to motivate his troops.</p>
<p> Once more unto the breech dear friends….</p>
<p> p.s can any of Rugby World’s English readers please explain Steve Borthwicks selection for the England team never mind as captain?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Fim de semana recheado de amistoso internacionais, disputadas por vagas na Copa do Mundo e de partidas da Anglo-Welsh Cup! Vamos aos resultados!</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Cinco grandes partidas dos <strong>Tests </strong>de fim de ano marcaram este final de semana. Na sexta-feira , a tivemos as vitórias da <a href="http://blogdorugby.wordpress.com/2009/11/13/franca-vence-springboks/">França sobre a África do Sul, por 20 x 13</a>, em Toulouse; e do <a href="http://blogdorugby.wordpress.com/2009/11/13/gales-se-recupera-frente-samoa/">País de Gales sobre Samoa, em Cardiff, por apertados 17 x 13</a>. No sábado, mais duas grandes partidas. <strong>Itália</strong> x <strong>Nova Zelândia</strong> e <strong>Inglaterra </strong>x <strong>Argentina.</strong></p>
<p>Jogando no San Siro de Milão completamente lotado &#8211; com 80,000 no estádio &#8211; a seleção italiana mostrou muita força e soube resistir soberbamente à clara superioridade All Black. A vitória, como não poderia deixar de ser, foi neozelandesa, por 20 x 6. Mas com apenas um try anotado a favor dos homens de preto, a partida de Milão entrou definitivamente para a história da Azzurra.<em> È vero</em> que os All Blacks entraram com 12 reservas em campo, mas a pressão que a Itália imprimiu nos minutos derradeira nas 22 All Blacks mostram que os italianos evoluiram. Não sei se da forma como muitos gostariam, mas as perspecrivas futuros são positivas para o rugby da Bota. Uma derrota no placar, mas uma vitória fora de campo.</p>
<p>Em Twickenham, Londres, a Inglaterra recebeu a Argentina, em jogo de grande rivalidade. Um try no final do jogo de Matt Banahan e uma ótima partida de Jonny Wilkinson deram a vitória aos ingleses, que não dominaram a partida. Mesmo melhor que os ingleses no jogo de forwards, os Pumas não souberam capitalizar a superioridade em pontos. O primeiro tempo inglês foi muito fraco, e os argentinos poderiam ter virado o jogo na frente. Mas não o fizeram. Nervosos demais para concluir com efetividade as jogados, os Pumas vacilaram quando não podiam, e a vitória caiu nos colos da Inglaterra. 16 x 9.</p>
<p>Ainda no sábado, a <strong>Escócia</strong> recebeu <strong>Fiji</strong>, em Murrayfield, com fraca presença de público. 23 x 10 a favor dos escoceses, que subiram e desbancaram os fijianos no ranking mundial.</p>
<p>No domingo, no Croke Park de Dublin, <strong>Austrália</strong> e <strong>Irlanda</strong> se enfrentaram, em partida que marcou o 100º jogo de Brian O&#8217;Driscoll pela seleção esmeralda. Sorte dos irlandeses que &#8220;in BOD they trust&#8221;! Até os 80 minutos os Wallabies venciam por 20 x 13, com tries de Drew Mitchell e Rocky Elsom. Para os irlandeses, o try anotado foi de autoria de Tommy Bowe, em fase sensacional. Eis que surgiu a figuro do fora-de-série Brian O&#8217;Drisvcoll. Em partida apagada, BOD mostrou que basta a ele uma jogada para se tornar o homem da partida. Após grande jogada de Bowe, BOD cruzou a linha de defesa australiana sem ser sequer tocado, e anotou o try. O&#8217;Gara converteu e empatou a partida. 20 x 20, e fim do sonho do Grand Slam para a Austrália.</p>
<p>Outros amistosos movimentaram o final de semana. Em Sendai, o <strong>Japão</strong> surpreendentemente pulveriozu o <strong>Canadá</strong>. 46 x 8. Em Piacenza, a <strong>Itália A</strong> ganhou fácil da <strong>Romênia</strong>, 33 x 6. O que mostra a franca decadência do rugby romeno&#8230;.</p>
<p>Em Tblisi, a <strong>Geórgia</strong> derrotou os <strong>Jaguares</strong> argentinos (a Argentina A) por apertados 24 x 22. E, por fim, a <strong>Irlanda A</strong> atropelou <strong>Tonga</strong>, por 48 x 19. Fraco resultado para a equipe do Pacífico, que não parece fazer sombra à seleção da Copa do Mundo de 2003 que assustou e muito os Springboks e chagou às quartas de finais.</p>

<p>Nas partidas válidas pelas <strong>Eliminatórias para a Copa do Mundo de 2011</strong>, vitórias de Namíbia e Estados Unidos, ambos fora de casa.</p>
<p>A <strong>Namíbia</strong> visitou a <strong>Tunisia</strong>, em jogo que prometia muita emoção, pelo passado recente do confronto. Desta vez, os Welwitschias não deixaram dúvidas sobre sua superioridade. Mesmo contra uma valente seleção tunisiana, a Namíbia mostrou que o profissionalismo de muitos de seus atletas, acostumados a um nível muito superior de rugby, faz toda a diferença. Vitória por 18 x 13, em Túnis. Para o jogo de volta, a Tunísia terá que se superar e muito para reverter a desvantagem. Jogando em Windhoek, os Welwitschias deverão confirmar o favoritismo e ir à quarta Copa do Mundo consecutiva.</p>
<p>Em Montevidéu, com um público a meu ver decepcionante, o <strong>Uruguai</strong> recebeu a seleção dos <strong>Estados Unidos</strong>. Com quatro tries anotados em erros capitais dos Teros, os norte-americanos foram muito superiores aos uruguaios durante toda a partida. Usasz, Swiryn (duas vezes) e Wyles fizeram para os Eagles, enquanto Hercus, em dia não muito inspirado, anotou 2 conversões e 1 penal. O destaque da partida pelos Estados Unidos foi o capitão Todd Clever, dos Lions, da Africa do Sul. Ngwenya, muito badalado, fez partida apagada. Contudo, o destaque do jogo foi uruguaio. O full back Etcheverry fez uma monumental partida. Chutou 4 penais e fez um try de suma importância para os Teros, aos 79 minutos. Converteu-o e colocou o Uruguai a apenas 5 pontos atrás no placar: 22 x 27. Com isso, os sul-americanos ainda têm chances na partida de volta, na Flórida, mas a tarefa pode ser considerada quase impossível, ainda mais se jogarem o que jogaram no Estádio Charrua.</p>
<p>Na Europa, a <strong>República Tcheca</strong> jogou fora a última chance que tinha de ir à Copa. Foi derrotado por 45 x 30 (deve ter sido um grande jogo!) pela <strong>Moldávia</strong>, fora de casa, em Chisinau. A vitória dos moldavos deixou a <strong>Segunda Divisão A do European Nations Cup</strong> (o Europeu de Nações) completamente embolado. A Ucrânia já está com o título da divisão garantido, e já tem vaga na próxima fase das Eliminatórias para a Copa do Mundo. Mas apenas 2 pontos separam a segunda colocada (Polônia) da lanterna Moldávia (quinta colocado). A briga contra o rebaixamento segue quente na 2A! Vale lembrar que uma vitoria na competição vale 3 pontos, o empate 2 e a derrota 1.</p>
<p>Após 6 (de 8 ) rodadas, a classificação da 2A é a seguinte:</p>
<p>1 &#8211; Ucrânia &#8211; 16 pontos</p>
<p>2 &#8211; Polônia &#8211; 12 p.</p>
<p>3 &#8211; Bélgica &#8211; 11 p.</p>
<p>4 &#8211; República Tcheca &#8211; 11 p.</p>
<p>5 &#8211; Moldávia &#8211; 10 p.</p>
<p>Pela <strong>Terceira Divisão B</strong> (3B), a <strong>Áustria</strong> foi derrotada em casa, em Viena, pela <strong>Noruega</strong>, por 12 x 9. Após 6 rodadas, o norugueses estão em terceiro lugar, e os austríacos são os lanternas (quinto lugar). Por fim, pela <strong>Terceira Divisão D</strong> (3D), em partida disputada na cidade francesa de Menton, <strong>Mônaco</strong> foi atropelado por <strong>Chipre</strong>. 44 x 5, e vice-liderança para os cipriotas, apenas 1 ponto atrás da Bósnia, mas com 1 jogo a menos.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ieri ho visto 10 minuti di Italia &#8211; Nuova Zelanda, la sfida di rugby che si è giocata nella spettacolare cornice di San Siro.<br />
In realtà non si può dire che io abbia visto la partita, anzi&#8230; Il gioco del rugby proprio non lo capisco e probabilmente, dato l&#8217;interesse che genera in me, credo che non lo capirò mai. Quello su cui mi vorrei soffermare è il clima che si respirava (immagino) allo stadio. Rispetto al pubblico presente durante una partita di calcio, gli 80 mila presenti ieri sembravano alieni! Ma cosa avranno mai avuto di strano quegli 80 mila??? Mah, chissà. Forse, semplicemente, non erano presenti i soliti idioti che vanno allo stadio solo per fare danni e casino, e che usano il pretesto di assistere ad una partita di calcio per scatenare guerriglie urbane e tutto quanto il resto. Allora forse viene fuori che la tessera del tifoso che dovrebbe essere introdotta, poi tanto male non farebbe. Ma ora non voglio parlare di questo. Durante l&#8217;inno italiano ho sentito dei brividi, cosa che non mi capitava forse dal mondiale di calcio del 2006, e comunque non così intensi. Durante la Haka degli All Blacks ho sentito del rispetto e dell&#8217;ammirazione. Come ho fatto a sentire queste cose? Nel silenzio di tutti gli spettatori presenti, perchè si sa, spesso il silenzio fa più rumore delle parole. Credo che la sportività e l&#8217;etica di uno sport di nicchia (in Italia) come il rugby, debbano fare scuola. La speranza c&#8217;è, la realtà per ora è ben diversa.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8230;pur non essendo appassionato di rugby, ne apprezzo la lealtà sportiva ed oggi ho guardato le prime fasi della partita fra la Nazionale italiana e gli All Blacks neozelandesi.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16594" title="1173356689865_rugbycombodef" src="http://paoblog.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/1173356689865_rugbycombodef.jpg" alt="1173356689865_rugbycombodef" width="450" height="318" /></p>
<p>Non seguo più il calcio come una volta, resto tifoso della mia squadra, come è ovvio che sia, ma sono stanco di vedere a Striscia campioni di peso immortalati nella rubrica <em>Tutti giù per terra</em>, che fingono qualsiasi fallo di gioco, pur di guadagnare una punizione o per peredere del tempo. Tutti pronti a parlare di fair play, ma devono essere sempre gli altri a doverlo dimostrare.</p>
<p>Oggi ho visto 80.000 persone applaudire l&#8217;ingresso in campo degli avversari, striscioni che li salutavano, silenzio durante l&#8217;inno ed applausi dopo, ho sentito lo stadio cantare l&#8217;Inno di Mameli e l&#8217;entusiasmo per lo spettacolo sportivo che sarebbe seguito.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/jMWt3TW1X9A&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/jMWt3TW1X9A&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>L&#8217;arbitraggio, basandomi sui pareri, peraltro pacati, di chi commentava la partita, ha avuto delle lacune, a nostra svantaggio, ma niente scenate in campo, se non un colloquio tra il nostro capitano Parisse e l&#8217;arbitro.</p>
<p>Questo è sport. Qui si vede il rispetto dell&#8217;avversario.</p>
<p>I miei complimenti a La7 che una volta di più offre agli telespettatori quelli che altri ignorano. Grazie</p>
<p>Omaggiamo i vincitori&#8230;.</p>

<p>Está estranhando? Sim, este é o Estádio Giuseppe Meazza – sem as famosas balizas do gol. É que neste sábado não teremos futebol, mas sim, rúgbi.</p>
<p>Eu não entendo muito deste esporte – prefiro muito mais um futebol americano. A Itália recebe a Nova Zelândia (os All Blacks). Será que o gramado do San Siro vai aguentar aqueles marmanjões se matando dentro de campo? </p>
<p>Bom, Milan e Inter depois dirão. No futebol com a bola redonda, a Itália encara a Holanda, também neste sábado, em Pescara. O jogo servirá para o técnico Marcelo Lippi fazer alguns testes com novos jogadores convocados, como Biondini, do Cagliari, e Candreva, do Livorno.</p>
<p>Já o goleiro Buffon vai festejar seu 100º jogo com a camisa da Azzurra. Um ótimo teste para a Itália, assim como para a Holanda – as duas seleções já estão garantidas na Copa do Mundo. O meia Sneijder se contundiu no treinamento desta sexta-feira e é dúvida para a partida. Alerta na Inter.</p>

<p>Domani i due tenutari, con un altro po&#8217; di gente, staranno lontani dal pc, per cui potrebbe cadere il governo, ma non ci sarà nessun post. Insomma, abbiamo un certo appuntamento alle 15, a Milano, zona San Siro. Un appuntamento con la storia del rugby e dello sport: Italia &#8211; Nuova Zelanda. D&#8217;accordo, non è la prima volta che la Nuova Zelanda gioca in Italia, e anzi questa volta, la Nuova Zelanda ha una formazione parecchio rimaneggiata. Però sono sempre loro, quelli che vestono di nero perchè sono in lutto per te, perchè sanno già che ti massacreranno. Ma soprattutto ci sarà un piccolo particolare: ci saranno 80.00o persone. 80.000 persone sono tante per il calcio, figuriamoci per il rugby, e non solo in Italia. L&#8217;evento è attesissimo, i biglietti sono finiti da settimane, noi li abbiamo comprati così tanto tempo fa che nel frattempo avrebbe potuto scoppiare la guerra atomica.</p>
<p>La giornata di domani sarà divisa in due, una prima parte, di cui si conosce già la storia, e una seconda ad oggi incognita.  E non è epica, questo, è quello che sarà. La prima parte sarà quella del prepartita, dove felici si va verso lo stadio bevendo birra. Poi quando lo stadio sarà pieno si inizerà con gli inni: prima quello neozelandese e confido che la nobiltà del rugby farà ascoltare in silenzio l&#8217;inno avversario a uno stadio abituato a standard calcistici. Sarà poi la volta di Fratelli d&#8217;Italia. Gli azzurri saranno abbracciati e lo canteranno come gladiatori. Poi dovranno dimettersi di fronte ai tutti neri a guardare la Haka. Quando nel 2007, ai mondiali, diedero la schiena alla danza maori, quelli si arrabbiarono. E tanto. Dovranno essere carichi per la haka. Il pubblico lo sa e canterà l&#8217;inno italiano con una forza mai sentita. Poi le due squadre si metteranno una di fronte all&#8217;altra e gli All Blacks sceglieranno una delle due haka, o quella storica, o quella nuova, più cattiva, con il gesto del taglio alla gola finale.</p>
<p>E da qui non si saprà più cosa succedera. Se il pubblico di San Siro non verrà travolto da questa danza, dovrà mettersi a urlare. E forte, tanto forte. Per spingere la mischia tuttanera anche le onde sonore possono dare una mano ai nostri.</p>
<p><em>PS Le mete del video son tutte sensazionli. Però ho visto della genialità in quella al minuto 3:35</em></p>

<p>A seleção italiana e cerca de 80mil pessoas receberão os All Blacks no Estádio San Siro nesse sábado, ao meio dia (horário Brasília), em seu primeiro amistoso de uma série que devem ocorrer durante o mês de novembro. <!--more--></p>
<p>E eles não estão esperando um jogo fácil, apesar do retrospecto amplamente favorável frente os adversários. O técnico Graham Henry lembra a apertada vitória po 18 a 16 sobre o time do Munster, no tour do ano passado, para manter a equipe com os pés no chão.</p>
<p>Os All Blacks vem com uma equipe completamente diferente daquela que <a title="All Blacks vencem Gales em Cardiff" href="http://blogdorugby.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/all-blacks-vencem-gales-em-cardiff/" target="_blank">derrotou o País de Gales no último fim de semana</a>. Ao todo, são 12 alterações, 1 mudança de posição e 3 estreias na equipe,além da ausência de Dan Carter, <a title="Carter suspenso por uma semana" href="http://blogdorugby.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/carter-suspenso-por-uma-semana/" target="_blank">suspenso por tackle alto</a>.</p>
<p>Já os donos da casa vem com a formaão praticamente igual à que enfrentou os kiwis (derrota por 27 a 6) em junho desse ano, com exceção da volta de Martin Castrogiovanni e Carlo del Fava, ou seja, força total para a Azzurri.</p>
<p><strong>Itália:</strong> Luke McLean; Kaine Robertson, Gonzalo Canale, Gonzalo Garcia, Mirco Bergamasco;  Craig Gower, Tito Tebaldi; Sergio Parisse, Mauro Bergamasco, Alessandro Zanni, Quintin Geldenhuys, Carlo Antonio Del Fava, Martin Castrogiovanni, Leonardo Ghiraldini, Salvatore Perugini.</p>
<p>Reservas: Fabio Ongaro, Ignacio Rouyet, Antonio Pavanello, Simone Favaro, Simon Picone, Kristopher Burton, Alberto Sgarbi</p>
<p><strong>Nova Zelândia:</strong> Cory Jane; Ben Smith, Tamati Ellison, Luke McAlister, Sitiveni Sivivatu; Mike Delany, Andy Ellis; Rodney So&#8217;oialo (capitão), Tanerau Latimer, Liam Messam, Anthony Boric, Tom Donnelly, Neemia Tialata, Corey Flynn, Wyatt Crockett.</p>
<p>Reservas: Andrew Hore, John Afoa, Jason Eaton, Richie McCaw, Jimmy Cowan, Stephen Donald, Mils Muliaina.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Milan</strong> &#8211; 	Dalam satu tahun terakhir, AC Milan banyak kehilangan pendukungnya. Untuk menggaet mereka kembali <em>Rossoneri</em> bersedia menurunkan harga tiket.</p>
<p><!--more-->Seiring dengan menurunnya minat publik di Italia untuk menyaksikan laga Seri A secara langsung, Milan juga terkena imbasnya. Jumlah kehadiran pendukung mereka sewaktu menggelar laga kandang di San Siro ikut menyusut.</p>
<p>Untuk partai-partai yang menjamu tim besar, tingkat kedatangan fans memang masih tinggi. Namun untuk laga melawan tim menengah ke bawah, pemandangan yang cukup jomplang pun tampak.</p>
<p>Pada saat Milan menjamu Real Madrid di ajang Liga Champions pada tiga November silam, San Siro dipadati oleh lebih dari 75.000 pengunjung. Padahal tiga hari sebelumnya, di stadion yang sama hanya terdapat sekitar 33.000 penonton saat <em>Diavolo Rosso </em>menjamu Parma pada lanjutan Seri A.</p>
<p>Merasa perlu untuk mendapatkan kembali fans yang dulunya secara reguler mendukung mereka secara langsung, Milan berencana untuk menurunkan harga tiket.</p>
<p>&#8220;Saya sangat menyayangkan atas hilangnya 16.000 orang fans reguler di tahun lalu,&#8221; ujar Wakil Presiden Milan, Adriano Galliani di <em>Gazzetta dello Sport</em> seperti dilansir <em>ESPN Star</em>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Saya ingin mengatakan kepada mereka yang dirundung kecewa, bahwa kami akan menyediakan harga spesial untuk laga pertama kembalinya mereka.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Saya menyampaikan itu bukan hanya karena mau beberapa juta dolar lebih banyak, namun karena kami hanya memiliki 40.000 penonton di San Siro untuk laga Milan versus Roma,&#8221; tuntasnya.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Di vincere non se ne parla, ma almeno il pubblico milanese ci ha messo l&#8217;entusiasmo:</strong> per l&#8217;attesissima sfida contro gli All Blacks, i maestri neozelandesi della palla ovale,<strong> a San Siro ci saranno 80 mila spettatori</strong> (80.018 per la precisione), vale a dire il tutto esaurito. Nello scorso weekend sono state vendute le ultime decine di biglietti ancora disponibili per l&#8217;incontro di sabato 14 novembre, alle 14.30, il primo dei tre test match d&#8217;autunno della nazionale (gli altri incontri a Udine e Ascoli contro Sudafrica e Samoa). Un record per il rugby italiano, che mai aveva avvicinato un&#8217;audience di tale portata.</p>
<p>E per Milano la festa per gli appassionati di rugby &#8211; sempre più numerosi nelle ultime stagioni &#8211; è già cominciata: lunedì all&#8217;Arena civica i campioni neozelandesi guidati dall&#8217;apertura Dan Carter hanno incontrato i giovani delle scuole rugby e hanno inscenato una «sfida» di precisione e potenza con i calciatori, lo juventino Diego e l&#8217;ex rossonero (ora alla Lazio) Cristian Brocchi.</p>
<p>L&#8217;Arena è diventato il quartier generale degli All Blacks, sbarcati domenica a Milano dopo il successo per 19-12 contro il Galles a Cardiff di sabato scorso: il rinnovato campo ospita gli allenamenti dei &#8220;tutti neri&#8221; e lì mercoledì sarà organizzato l&#8217;incontro con gli studenti delle scuole medie vincitori del progetto «Scuole in meta» alla presenza del sindaco Letizia Moratti.</p>
<p>Una mezza delusione per gli appassionati potrebbe però venire dalla Commissione disciplinare dell&#8217;Irb, la federazione internazionale del rugby, che ha convocato il talentuoso Carter per un placcaggio pericoloso ai danni di un gallese nel match della scorsa settimana: il mediano neozelandese rischia la squalifica. E sarebbe una sfortuna soprattutto per il pubblico italiano, che non vede l&#8217;ora di ammirare la sua straordinaria classe.</p>

<p><em><strong>La linea 4</strong> avrà 21 stazioni su una linea lunga 15,2 chilometri. Ok al­lo stanziamento dei finan­ziamenti per <strong>Tangenziale esterna</strong>, <strong>Pedemontana</strong> e linee 4 e 5 del <strong>metrò</strong>.</em></p>
<p><strong>MILANO &#8211; Una talpa sotto Linate: lo sca­vo della linea 4 del metrò parti­rà dall’aeroporto</strong> e, nella miglio­re delle ipotesi, i cantieri apri­ranno nella primavera 2010. <strong>Il secondo lotto della M5,</strong> invece, dovrebbe prendere forma già entro l’anno con espropri e ope­re preliminari. <strong>Il pre-Cipe di ie­ri ha approvato i due progetti e il Cipe di oggi dovrebbe confer­mare i fondi</strong>: il governo finan­zia il pacchetto di opere Expo con 5,8 miliardi di euro (di cui 1,2 miliardi per i metrò). Nel­l’elenco figurano anche <strong>Pede­montana </strong>(via a gennaio), <strong>Tem</strong>, il collegamento Lecco-Berga­mo e il metrò di Brescia.</p>
<p><strong>Eliminata la M6, Milano avrà due nuove linee sotterranee en­tro il 2015.</strong> I cantieri del primo tratto <strong>M5</strong>, nove fermate da Gari­baldi a Bignami, sono già in fa­se avanzata. Ieri, il pre-Cipe ha promosso anche il secondo troncone, dal cimitero Monu­mentale allo stadio di San Siro: 6,7 chilometri e 10 stazioni per un investimento di 657 milioni (il 40 per cento dei fondi dallo Stato, il resto dagli enti locali).</p>
<p><strong>La linea 4 avrà 21 stazioni</strong> su 15,2 chilometri di tracciato. <em>La prima tratta, da San Cristoforo al Policlinico</em> (13 fermate, 7 chi­lometri: 790 milioni) colleghe­rà il sud-ovest al centro con 13 stazioni. <strong>Ieri, il pre-Cipe ha ap­provato la seconda tratta, 8 sta­zioni da San Babila a Linate</strong>, 7,7 chilometri interrati: <em>sarà un me­trò «leggero» senza conducen­te per 60 mila passeggeri l’ora</em>.</p>
<p>[...]<strong>E i tempi? «Gli scavi archeologici per la M4 sono già stati completati</strong>, as­segneremo insieme primo e se­condo lotto. Nel primo seme­stre <strong>2010 </strong>avvieremo i cantieri», assicura l’assessore comunale <strong>Edoardo Croci:</strong> «Quanto alla <strong>M5</strong>, daremo continuità alle ope­re in corso». Una talpa via l’al­tra. <em>Ma si farà in tempo per l’Expo? «Dobbiamo farcela».</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I was only going to stay 2 nights in Milan but I&#8217;ll stay an extra one as the hostel is good, I&#8217;ve not had enough time to see what I want to here and I&#8217;ve still got loads of working out to figure a route to Madrid. Getting to Andorra directly from the French coast doesn&#8217;t look likely so I think I&#8217;ll have to go inland to somewhere like Toulouse.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve now booked 2 nights in Nice instead of the 3 I&#8217;d originally planned. I may well book an extra one but it just depends on the what I figure out route wise. I&#8217;m looking forward to a rest from the constant planning when I get home!</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m waiting for a tram into the city centre where I will get a connecting one to the <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Siro?wasRedirected=true">San Siro</a>. I should be able to see the joint AC/Inter Milan museum at least but I&#8217;m hoping to get on the stadium tour as well.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a fella from Perth working at the hostel who is an interesting guy and looks like <a href="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/4270531/Bonnie+Prince+Billy+bpb.jpg">Bonnie &#8216;Prince&#8217; Billy</a>. He&#8217;s done 14,000 miles in a battered old Leyland van and had plenty of adventures along the way.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also another strange bloke who does the cleaning. He walks round like a druid with his head permanently facing the floor. Even when cooking or using the laptop (which he tilts and stands over while typing). A weird one he is.</p>
<p>Last night I cracked my travel mirror. Now believe this if you will but the last time I broke a mirror was 7 years ago. Great eh.</p>
<p>I just saw a shop called &#8216;Fugazzi&#8217;, not the best name considering it&#8217;s selling jewellery! Donnie Brasco fans will know what I&#8217;m on about.</p>
<p>I did to get on the San Siro tour, €12.50 with museum access. It was okay. The museum is quite small and annoyingly you&#8217;re not allowed to take pictures and the tour basically consists of the dressing rooms and the pitch. The Nou Camp tour is much better as is the Eastlands one.</p>
<p>Still, it was good to have a proper look at one of the World&#8217;s great football arenas. Sitting in Paulo Maldini&#8217;s old seat in the AC dressing room was fun and I also had a little word with Jose to give him a few pointers for improving Inter&#8217;s Champions League form, I think he appreciated it.</p>
<p>Before I was playing around with the <a href="http://www.apple.com/webapps/calculate/iconvert_luaoo.html">iConvert</a> app and I discovered I&#8217;m 1.933084e-16 lightyears tall. Or if you prefer 0.009090909 furlongs, 1.288e+10 angstroms, 0.3636364 rods, 0.000987473 nautical miles, 1 fathom, 0.06666667 shackles, 1.8288e+09 nanometres, 2 yards. Blimey.          </p>
<p>The <a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan_Cathedral?wasRedirected=true">Cathedral</a> of Milan is perhaps the most impressive Duomo I&#8217;ve seen in Italy and that is saying something. The intricate detail in the huge stained glass panes is stunning. This is a must see when here, though the massive oriental tour groups are a bit of a pain. </p>
<p>Milan is well known as a world centre of fashion and I saw plenty of evidence to support that today. To be honest though, victim was a word that sprang to mind often. </p>
<p>Leonardo Da Vinci&#8217;s &#8216;Last Supper&#8217; Fresco will not be on the menu after all. You have to book a month in advance for a viewing! I&#8217;d already read this was the case but had hoped that with it being out of season I might be able to wangle in. Not so, as a lad from Vancouver who tried today confirmed for me. </p>
<p>I actually saw a Lambretta today for the first time in the trip never mind just Italy. It was well ahead of me so I didn&#8217;t get the model but it was in immaculate condition with a gloss blue/silver paint job. Lovely stuff.</p>
<p>Back at the hostel now but I&#8217;ll save my further route planning for the morning, really can&#8217;t be arsed at the moment.  </p>
<p>I fancied going to see a flick but after checking the listings they&#8217;re all dubbed. Philistines! Just say no (to dubbing).</p>
<p>So now I&#8217;m drinking a large bottle of <a href="http://www.mymarketing.it/public/birra_moretti.jpg">Birra Moretti</a> and it&#8217;s going down well. The bloke from Perth is a dab hand in the kitchen and is making a big vat of pasta with more ingredients than you can shake a big wooden spoon at, jobs a good&#8217; n. After the grub there is the lad in my room from Vancouver who fancies checking out the local so I&#8217;ll have a little mooch with him.</p>
<p>The head-down fella came into the kitchen while we were having a drink. He seriously will not lift his head above a 90 degree angle, he had a glass of juice but used a straw just to avoid raising his swede. Craig (the Perth lad) shares a large room with him and says he even sleeps like that. It&#8217;s actually quite sad as it must be a mental thing, but even if that were to be sorted his posture would probably be a permanent mess by now.</p>
<p>TTFN. </p>
