There’s nothing wrong with “Charlie St. Cloud” that a different leading man couldn’t cure. At its basest, such summary spells harsh criticism for Zac Efron, but the better-than-average rating attached above shows the rationale is not so simple.




Efron’s Charlie is the high-school senior of dreams: son of a hard-working single mother (Kim Basinger, seen too briefly) and sibling of an idolizing 11-year-old brother (the very forthcoming Charlie Tahan). Though living in struggling middle-class existence, Charlie gently rubs it in the nose of the town elite, thriving in school and excelling at sailing, so good at the latter that it’s earned him a scholarship to Stanford.



Anyone who’s read Ben Sherwood’s novel — or seen the too-revealing studio trailer, for that matter — knows Charlie’s life takes a tragic turn. Suffice to say here that it prompts an awakening, remorseful yet spiritual, veering Charlie from stepping up amidst ivy-colored halls to holding fast within his quiet Northwest hometown.



Give credit to director Burr Steers for crafting a film which, in the wrong hands, easily could slip to the level of mediocre made-for-cable fare. Steers carefully choreographs Charlie’s delicate meeting with a similarly blessed sailing enthusiast (Amanda Crew) and delicately wrings the sentiment from his emotional rebirth.



That said, scold Steers for not advising Efron to pass on this drama after they’d teamed on the more lighthearted “17 Again.” Efron is a talent, to be sure, and his career is far from over. (The all-knowing www.imdb.com site lists the 22-year-old as having nine projects in some level of development.) Yet, plumbing the depth in the mystically entangled Charlie is beyond Efron’s still-developing acting skills and far-too-pretty face. That powerhouse dramatic vehicle awaits Efron, no doubt, but “Charlie St. Cloud” is not it.

Madonna La Isla Bonita Lyrics:


[Spoken:]

Como puede ser verdad

[or Como puede ese olvidar]

How could it be true?


Last night I dreamt of San Pedro

Just like I'd never

gone, I knew the song

A young girl with eyes like the desert

It all seems like

yesterday, not far away



[Chorus:]



Tropical the island breeze

All of nature wild and free

This is where I long to be

La isla bonita

And when the samba played

The sun would set so high

Ring through my ears and sting my eyes

Your Spanish lullaby



The beautiful island



[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/m5 ]

I fell in love with San Pedro

Warm wind carried on the

sea, he called to me

Te dijo te amo

I prayed that the days would last

They went so fast



He told you, "I love you"



[chorus]



I want to be where the

sun warms the sky

When it's time for siesta you

can watch them go by

Beautiful faces, no cares in this world

Where a girl loves a boy,

and a boy loves a girl



Last night I dreamt of San Pedro

It all seems like

yesterday, not far away



[chorus twice]



La la la la la la la

Te dijo te amo

La la la la la la la

El dijo que te ama



He told you, "I love you"



He said he loves you

MNA - TEHRAN, Persepolis football team defeated Gostaresh Foolad of Tabriz here and won Iran’s Hazfi Cup title on Monday. In front of about 100,000 spectators at the Azadi Stadium, Persepolis beat Gostaresh Foolad 3-1 and won the title for the fourth time.


Iran’s popular team had defeated Gostaresh 1-0 in the first leg at the Yadegare-Emam Stadium in Tabriz. Brazilian Tiago Alves put Persepolis ahead in the 31st minute from the penalty spot. Unmarked Hamid-Reza Ali-Asgari put the ball into an empty net for the second time when Hadi Norouzi hit the bar three minutes later.

In the beginning of the second half, Gostaresh’s keeper was sent off by referee Masoud Moradi after catching the ball outside of the penalty area.

Gostaresh’s Rasoul Khatibi pulled a goal back from the penalty spot in the 73rd minute. Mohsen Khalili poured cold water on Gostaresh hopes when he headed a ball into the goal in the 77th minute to seal a victory for Persepolis.

“Persepolis is going to win treble next season. AFC Champions League is our priority for the upcoming season. We could have won with more goals but our strikers didn’t take advantage of the chances they got,” Persepolis coach Ali Daei said.

One of those projects was "Charlie St. Cloud," which will be released July 30 and marks Efron's debut as a dramatic leading man.
But like with Miley Cyrus' move in the Nicholas Sparks-penned drama "The Last Song," Efron too seems to be jumping from cheesy kids TV to cheesy "adult" film.
The trailer makes a valiant effort to show off Efron as a heartthrob for his legion of adoring young fans. Only seconds in, the actor's muscular arms are center stage as he pulls the ropes of a sailboat on the sun-dappled open sea with his brother. From our limited view, we'll admit that Efron doesn't seem totally horrible in the role -- the relationship his character has with his younger brother is endearing, and we're sure the movie is a bona fide tear-jerker. But at points in the trailer, doesn't it seem like Efron is straining to seem brooding and pensive in an effort to get some "real" emotion up on screen?
But who are we kidding? The movie may look a tad saccharine, but we'd totally take our mom to see it this summer. Would you?

Old Trafford is an all-seater football stadium in the Trafford borough of Greater Manchester, England, and is the home of Premier League club Manchester United. With space for 75,957 spectators,[1] Old Trafford has the second-largest capacity of any English football stadium after Wembley Stadium, the third-largest of any stadium in the United Kingdom, and the eleventh-largest in Europe. With Wembley, it is one of two stadia in the country to have been given a five-star rating by UEFA.[3][4] The stadium is approximately 0.5 miles (0.8 km) from Old Trafford Cricket Ground and the adjacent Manchester Metrolink tram station.

The ground, given the nickname the Theatre of Dreams by Bobby Charlton, has been United's permanent residence since 1910, with the exception of an eight-year absence from 1941 to 1949, following the bombing of the stadium in the Second World War. During this period, the club shared Maine Road with local rivals, Manchester City. The ground underwent several expansions in the 1990s and 2000s, most notably the addition of extra tiers to the North, West and East stands which served to return the ground almost to its original capacity of 80,000. Future expansion is likely to involve the addition of a second tier to the South Stand, which would raise the capacity to over 90,000.[5] The stadium's current record attendance was recorded in 1939, when 76,962 spectators watched the FA Cup semi-final between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Grimsby Town.

The ground has frequently hosted FA Cup semi-final matches as a neutral venue and several England1966 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 1996, as well as the 2003 UEFA Champions League Final. Aside from football-related uses, Old Trafford has hosted rugby league's Super League Grand Final since the league's adoption of playoffs in 1998 and the final of the 2000 Rugby League World Cup. international fixtures while the new Wembley Stadium was under construction. It also hosted matches at the

Structure and facilities

The Old Trafford pitch is surrounded by four covered all-seater stands, officially known as the North, East, South and West Stands. Each stand has at least two tiers,^[52] with the exception of the South Stand, which only has one tier due to construction restrictions. The lower tier of each stand is split into Lower and Upper sections, the Lower sections having been converted from terracing in the early 1990s.
Formerly known as the United Road stand, the North Stand runs over the top of United Road. The stand is three tiers tall, and can hold about 26,000 spectators, the most of the four stands. The North Stand can also accommodate a few fans in executive boxes. The North Stand opened in its current state in 1996, having previously been a single-tiered stand. As the ground's main stand, the North Stand houses many of the ground's more popular facilities, including the Red Café (a Manchester United theme restaurant/bar) and the Manchester United museum and trophy room. Originally opened in 1986 as the first of its kind in the world,^[53] the Manchester United museum was in the south-east corner of the ground until it moved to the redeveloped North Stand in 1998. The museum was opened by Pelé on 11 April 1998, since when numbers of visitors have jumped from 192,000 in 1998 to more than 300,000 visitors in 2009.^[54][55]
Opposite the North Stand is the South Stand, formerly Old Trafford's main stand. Although only a single-tiered stand, the South Stand contains most of the ground's executive suites,^[56] and also plays host to any VIPs who may come to watch the match. Members of the media are seated in the middle of the Upper South Stand to give them the best view of the match. The television gantry is also in the South Stand, so the South Stand is the one that gets shown on television least often.^[26] Television studios are located at either end of the South Stand, with the club's in-house television station, MUTV, in the East studio and other television stations, such as the BBC and Sky, in the West studio.^[57]
The dugout is in the centre of the South Stand, raised above pitch level to give the manager and his coaches an elevated view of the game. Each team's dugout flanks the old players' tunnel, which was used until 1993. The old tunnel is the only remaining part of the original 1910 stadium, having survived the bombing that destroyed much of the stadium during the Second World War.^[58] On 6 February 2008, the tunnel was renamed the Munich Tunnel, as a memorial for the 50th anniversary of the 1958 Munich air disaster.^[59] The current tunnel is in the South-West corner of the ground, and doubles as an entrance for the emergency services. In the event that large vehicles require access, the seating above the tunnel can be raised by up to 25 feet (7.6 m).^[60] The tunnel leads up to the players' dressing room, via the television interview area, and the players' lounge.
Perhaps the best-known stand at Old Trafford is the West Stand, also known as the Stretford End. Traditionally, the stand is where the hard-core United fans are located, and also the ones who make the most noise.^[61] Originally designed to hold 20,000 fans, the Stretford End was the last stand to be covered and also the last remaining all-terraced stand at the ground before the forced upgrade to seating in the early 1990s. The reconstruction of the Stretford End, which took place during the 1992–93 season, was carried out by Alfred McAlpine.^[62] When the second tier was added to the Stretford End in 2000, many fans from the old "K Stand" moved there, and decided to hang banners and flags from the barrier at the front of the tier. So ingrained in Manchester United culture is the Stretford End, that Denis Law was given the nickname "King of the Stretford End", and there is now a statue of Law on the concourse of the stand's upper tier.^[63]
The Manchester United club shop has had six different locations since it was first opened. Originally, the shop was a small hut near to the railway line that runs alongside the ground. The shop was then moved along the length of the South Stand, stopping first opposite where away fans enter the ground, and then residing in the building that would later become the club's merchandising office. A surge in the club's popularity in the early 1990s led to another move, this time to the forecourt of the West Stand. With this move came a great expansion and the conversion from a small shop to a "megastore". Alex Ferguson opened the new megastore on 3 December 1994.^[64] The most recent moves came in the late 1990s, as the West Stand required room to expand to a second tier, and that meant the demolition of the megastore. The store was moved to a temporary site opposite the East Stand, before taking up a 17,000 square feet (1,600 m²) permanent residence in the ground floor of the expanded East Stand in 2000.^[65] The floor space of the current megastore is actually owned by United's kit sponsors, Nike, who operate the store.
The East Stand at Old Trafford was the second to be converted to a cantilever roof, following the North Stand. It is also commonly referred to as the Scoreboard End, as it was the location of the scoreboard. The East Stand can currently hold nearly 12,000 fans,^[5] and is the location of both the disabled fans section and the away section. The disabled section provides for up to 170 fans, with free seats for carers. Old Trafford was formerly divided into sections, with each section sequentially assigned a letter of the alphabet. Although every section had a letter, it is the K Stand that is the most commonly referred to today. The K Stand fans were renowned for their vocal support for the club, and a large array of chants and songs, though many of them have relocated to the second tier of the West Stand.^[66] The East Stand has a tinted glass façade, behind which the club's administrative centre is located. These offices are the home to the staff of Inside United, the official Manchester United magazine, the club's official website, and its other administrative departments. Images and advertisements are often emblazoned on the front of the East Stand, most often advertising Nike products, though a tribute to the Busby Babes was displayed in February 2008 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Munich air disaster. Above the megastore is a statue of Sir Matt Busby, Manchester United's longest-serving manager to date. There is also a plaque dedicated to the victims of the Munich air disaster on the south end of the East Stand, while the Munich Clock is at the junction of the East and South Stands.^[16] On 29 May 2008, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Manchester United's first European Cup title, a statue of the club's "holy trinity" of George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton, entitled "The United Trinity", was unveiled across Sir Matt Busby Way from the East Stand, directly opposite the statue of Busby.^[67][68]
The pitch at the ground measures approximately 105 metres (115 yd) long by 68 metres (74 yd) wide,^[2] with a few metres of run-off space on each side. The centre of the pitch is about nine inches higher than the edges, allowing surface water to run off more easily. As at many modern grounds, 10 inches (25 cm) under the pitch is an underground heating system, composed of 23 miles (37 km) of plastic pipes.^[69] Club manager Alex Ferguson often requests that the pitch be relaid,^[70][71] most notably half way through the 1998–99 season, when the team won the Treble, at a cost of about £250,000 each time. The grass at Old Trafford is watered regularly, though less on wet days, and mowed three times a week between April and November, and once a week from November to March.^[69]
In the mid-1980s, when Manchester United Football Club owned the Manchester Giants, Manchester's basketball franchise, there were plans to build a 9,000-seater indoor arena on the site of what is now Car Park E1. However, the chairman at the time, Martin Edwards, did not have the funds to take on such a project, and the basketball franchise was eventually sold.^[72] In August 2009, the car park became home to the Hublot clock tower, a 10-metre (32 ft 10 in)-tall tower in the shape of the Hublot logo, which houses four 2-metre (6 ft 7 in)-diameter clock faces, the largest ever made by the company.^[73]

José Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho, GOIH (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʒuˈzɛ moˈɾiɲu]; born 26 January 1963) is a Portuguese football manager. He is the current manager of Italian Serie A team Internazionale, to whom he is contracted for the following three seasons. He has the nickname "The Special One", a self-proclaimed title which was later taken up by the British media.^[3]
The son of Portuguese goalkeeper José Félix Mourinho, Mourinho started out as a player but he was dissatisfied with his career and switched to management. After spells working as an assistant manager and a youth team coach in the early 1990s, he became an interpreter for Sir Bobby Robson. Mourinho learned much from the veteran coach and worked with him at Sporting Clube de Portugal, FC Porto in Portugal, before following him to Spanish club FC Barcelona.
He began focusing on coaching and impressed with brief but successful managerial periods at Benfica and União de Leiria. He returned to Porto in 2002, this time as head coach, and soon became a force to be reckoned with, winning the Portuguese Liga, Cup of Portugal and UEFA Cup in 2003. Greater success followed in 2004 as Mourinho guided the team to the top of the league for a second time and won the highest honour in European club football, the UEFA Champions League.
Mourinho moved to Chelsea the following year and won two consecutive Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006, among other domestic honours. He often courted controversy for his outspokenness but his victories at Chelsea and Porto established him as one of the world's top football managers, well regarded by both his peers and the press. Additionally, he was named the world's best football manager by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) for both the 2004–05 and 2005–06 seasons.
After a fall out with the Chelsea hierarchy, he moved to Serie A, signing a three year contract with Internazionale in mid-2008. Within three months, he had won his first Italian honour, the Supercoppa Italiana, and completed his first season in Italy by winning the Serie A league title.
