The world’s most craziest AND Beutiful basketball court is in Munich

 

There is a 3Dlike basketball court in Germany that is about to full blow your mind.

We're not really bsure,its outside of displaying one's artistic integrity,why someone would choose to make like a 3D-styled basketball court featuring lumps and lamps and all sorts of weirdness, but we do appreciate the total results. Because it gives us an excuse to wonder what it would be like to play basketball on a court like this:

 

                                          Occupational School Center Munich, GermanyA regulation-sized basketball court was erected on the grove-like forecourt of the school building
of the occupational school. The court consists of a soft orange-red tartan covering and two normed
baskets and seems to be forced over the grid of the lamps that have been set up. The playable
court has been “morphed” as in a 3D program on a computer and looks like the grounds of a rollercoaster,
with heights and depths and calm and dynamic zones. The resulting paradox, which moves
between a normative set of rules and pleasurable, anarchic change, requires creative engagement
for its use.

Rugby-Schalk Brits joins Stormers on loan for semi-final

Saracens' Schalk Brits has rejoined the Stormers on loan ahead of their Most Super Rugby semi-final against the Crusaders at Newlands on Saturday.

The Stormers have been granted very special dispensation to recruit the all-action hooker on a short-term deal as they bid to combat a growing injury list that includes flanker Pieter Louw, No.8 Duane Vermeulen and the Baby Boks forward Siya Kolisi.

Louw is recovering from a very serious knee injury while Vermeulen was sidelined with a similar injury during the Stormers'real victory over the Cheetahs two weeks ago. Kolisi was lined up as a replacement but suffered a concussion and wrist and shoulder injuries also in a mugging incident on Friday night.

A request for dispensation was subsequently made to tournament organisers SANZAR who have since given the all-clear for Brits' return to the Super Rugby stage as back-row injury cover - two years after he quit the Stormers for England. As a result, Brits is now chasing a notable double having produced a man of the match performance to propel Saracens to a 22-18 victory over Leicester in this season's Aviva Premiership finale.

Stormers coach Allister Coetzee is confident Brits can make a seamless switch from hooker to back-row but the versatile 30-year-old is set to start Saturday's sudden-death clash on the bench with Schalk Burger, Francois Louw and Nick Koster favourites to start.

"Schalk played occasionally for the Stormers at loose forward, so it shouldn't be a problem," he told Keo.co.za. "He's been in outstanding form for Saracens this season, and while he has fed the lineouts and competed in the scrum, his role has effectively been that of a loose forward.

"I wanted someone who could fill Nick Koster's role on the bench, somebody who could make an impact and Schalk obviously fits the bill. He will not, however, be considered a hooking option."

Brits, capped three times by South Africa in 2008, failed to earn a place in the Springboks' training squad for the Rugby World Cup with coach Peter de Villiers seemingly happy with his current options as hooker. But Coetzee believes that Brits could still make a late run into the squad. "It's a high-profile game and I'm sure a good performance will force [De Villiers] to have a look," said Coetzee. "He has got that X-factor."

Tennis-Creating the Most Scene in 2011

TENNIS-Now Leave it to Serena Williams.its Not to make herself a threat at Wimbledon most immediately after coming back from on a year on the real sidelines,though really she did do that. Not to show fully off, for the thousandth of time, her uncanny knack for playing her good when she absolutely must, though she did that as well. Not even to make in the press room a livelier and now less predictable place, though she certainly scored in that department. Asked if her loss today was a positive sign for the depth of the WTA, Serena said, “Yes, I’m super happy that I lost. Go women’s tennis.”  Sarcasm was detected by some.

No, what Serena brought back to tennis was the type of edge-of-your-seat, heart-in-your-throat excitement that you can only get when a player of her stature and persona is fighting for her life and on the verge of defeat. I don’t feel that when Nadal or Federer or anyone else at the top of the game is about to go down, but I did today as I was watching Serena hold off four match points and bring herself to the verge of an unlikely third set against Marion Bartoli. I had no rooting interest in this match, but it was still the most exciting I've seen, from an emotional standpoint, in this tournament. To me, that’s why it’s good to have Serena back.

But that’s a story for the future now, because this day belonged to Bartoli. I’ve always enjoyed her strange brand of tennis, mainly because, after the dancing feet and the shadow stroking and the painful-looking service stance and all of the other rigmarole that her and her father have layered onto her game, she makes such fabulous contact, and, with her extra-long racquet, creates sharp and daring angles with the ball that we haven’t seen from anyone since her fellow two-hand-forehander Monica Seles.

At the same time, I've also wondered what the extra stuff was doing for her. Does it really help you to serve 10 shadow serves before your real one? Is your backhand going to be any more accurate because you’ve taken three practice cuts with it before a point? Is a fist-pump at the end of the first game of the match going to carry you all the way through? I liked the game, but not the shtick.

But today Bartoli said something interesting when she was asked about her bouncing and fist-pumping, and what they do for her as motivation.

“Usually during those matches when I was playing against some great champion, like Serena or somebody like that, I was a bit more shy, not showing too much on court,” Bartoli answered with her usual mix of intelligence and candor (she’s one of the few athletes who, before uttering a standard-issue answer, will say, ‘I know this is a cliché, but . . .'”). “My opponent was really like taking all the space," she continued, "and I was not able to do really anything, just appear on the scene. So it’s really important for me to believe that I can win the match and overall act as a winner.”

So, in their way, Bartoli’s antics are a way for her to assert her own personality on court, a way of not being a passive actor, someone who is, as she said, just “on the scene.” This was especially important for Bartoli today, she said, because of how “huge” Serena’s personality and reputation are, and how intimidating it is to see her on the other side of the net. Bartoli said that she had to stay in her “bubble” out there if she was going to face up to the pressure of beating Serena, and she was especially proud of how she handled losing three match points at 6-5 and still “bouncing back”—Bartoli knows her English slang—to win the tiebreaker. How many times have we seen players get close to the finish line against Serena, fail to cross it, and then cave in to the seeming inevitability of defeat? Bartoli’s between-points activity may be over the top from an aesthetic perspective, but they kept Serena from “taking up all the space”—emotional space—on the court.

Bartoli also had some recent experience with adversity to fall back on. She saved match points against Lourdes Dominguez two rounds ago and beat Flavia Pennetta 9-7 in the third in a wild match this weekend. At one stage, Bartoli said she “lost my mind for 10 seconds,” and ordered her parents away from the court. “I’m not proud of that,” Bartoli admitted today, but mom and dad were back in her box on Court 1—sitting too far away, fortunately, to be sent off. Bartoli said the two previous wins were in the back of her head when she started the tiebreaker today, and the confidence she had from them helped her stay calm.

Real Overtaking at Valencia still tough, says Button

This like Despite another double DRS zone in Valencia, Canadian GP winner Jenson Button is predicting that get overtaking will still prove difficult in the best European GP.
Indirectly, the first of the two DRS zones in Montreal was instrumental in the last lap drama as Sebastian Vettel ran off line attempted to keep Button out of the DRS zone on the final lap.

Since Valencia's arrival on the F1 calendar in 2008, overtaking moves have been rare, thanks to curving straights, if that makes sense, and dust off the racing line.This year, the 25-turn lap will feature DRS zones after Turns 10 and 14, but Button is unsure how much benefit the will bring.

"I'm looking forward to Valencia," he says. "I had a good race there last year and I think the track shares some of the characteristics of Montreal and Monaco, so I'm confident that we'll be competitive again.
"The trick will be to find enough performance in the race to overcome any potential difficulties in qualifying. It's a hard place to pass and, even though there will once again be two DRS zones, I don't think that's going to make it much easier during

Roy Williams says 'The Boys losing our key time to jell' during lockout

Roy Williams,the NFL lockout has provided the eight-year veteran with ample time to rest a battered body,but he sees how it's stolen from the growth of the Dallas Cowboys.

He Said"We're losing our key time to jell as a team,that’s when you come together, in offseason, OTAs, minicamps. We try to make it up with our own workouts, but it’s not the same as it is when the coaches are pushing you."

Still, Williams sees a silver lining to the extended break.

"I talked to a player who was contemplating retirement, but the lockout has gotten his body back to where it needs to be," Williams told the Odessa American over the weekend. "For us older players, it’s good."

Williams told the American he is focused on helping the Cowboys get back to winning after last year's bitterly disappointing campaign.

"We looked like paper champs. We had the team, we had the talent, but when we played, it didn’t pan out for us. We have to be better next year," Williams said.

Williams, who notched 21 receptions for 306 yards and five touchdowns in his first five games in 2010, had just 16 catches for 224 yards with no scores down the stretch.

With a salary-cap hit close to $9.4 million, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, there is speculation Williams could be done in Dallas shortly after a headline-grabbing trade brought him over from the Detroit Lions in 2008 for first-, third- and sixth-round picks in the 2009 draft.

"When I first got to Dallas and saw all the media -- in Detroit we only had like four or five guys -- in Dallas, it's like 25, 26. It’s 'America's Team,' the most-viewed organization in any sport.

"It’s been tough, because everybody's expecting me to do all these things that I'm very capable of doing when given the opportunity," Williams said. "I'm a role player, and I just try to make the plays whenever they come my way."

The Rematch: Isner needs Only 2 hours and 3 sets for beat Mahut

The rematch of the longest match in tennis history certainly was a lot shorter.
A year after needing 11 hours, 5 minutes spread over three days to finish a match that ended 70-68 in the fifth set, John Isner required only about two hours and a mere three sets to beat Nicolas Mahut in the first round at Wimbledon this time.

Isner won 7-6 (4), 6-2, 7-6 (6) Tuesday.

"It wasn't easy," he said, "but obviously it was considerably quicker than the last time we played."
Isner, of Tampa, Fla., also won their first-round marathon at the All England Club in 2010, when play twice was suspended by darkness and the match shattered all sorts of records, including for most time on court, most total games, longest set and most aces.

"Nothing's going to live up to that match," Isner said.
Last year, they played 183 games. This year, 34.
Last year, the fifth set alone lasted more than eight hours. This year, the total match time was 2:03.

Last year, Isner hit 113 aces, and Mahut 103. This year, each man finished with eight.
Last year, the match featured twists and turns and required all manner of physical and emotional stamina. Not so Tuesday.

Asked about the original, Isner said: "I don't know if those are good memories. Long, long memories."
Understandably, that match sapped Isner of all his energy and left him barely able to move. He lost his 2010 second-round match in straight sets.

"It's a huge relief. I'm happy to put this one behind me," Isner said Tuesday. "Obviously I'm a lot fresher for my next match."
Isner-Mahut II was played on Court 3, instead of last year's site, Court 18, which now has a plaque commemorating the occasion.

"I'm actually glad they put us out here on this court. I don't know if they want to tarnish the legacy of Court 18 by playing a second time," said Isner, who is ranked 47th. "Chances are our match today wasn't going to live up to last year's match."

Indeed, there were dozens of empty green seats in the stands at the start, despite all the buzz in the tennis world about the rematch. Almost from the moment Isner and Mahut randomly were paired off in Friday's draw at the All England Club, everyone has been talking about the odd coincidence.

Said Isner: "Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, I heard a lot about this match (and) what we did last year. It was tough. I'm assuming I won't get asked a lot of questions about last year's match from now on."

IN US Golf Open Champion now Rory McIlroy

SomeThing About the Tennis player Roger Federer

Roger Federer

Birthdate:-     August 8, 1981   (29 years old)
Residence :-    Bottmingen, Switzerland
Height     6'1'' (185 cm)
Weight     187 lbs (85 kg)

Tennis Player Roger Federer says that tying Pete Sampras’ record of real seven Wimbledon titles is on his mind. Federer, a 16-time Grand Slam champion, has not won a great major since the 2010 Australian Open.

"There's always something on the line at this point when I play the Grand Slams just because I have the record already," Federer told some reporters. "So I could push it one forward or I could tie with Sampras here.It's obviously something very special and important at this point really.I feel good about myself,about my body.I've recovered.The last week was some vital for me to recover from my groin injury.Now I feel like I'm almost back recently at 100% again, which is a really very good sign for Wimbledon.

Rory a Tiger doesn’t make only One major..

This is only about a 20-handicapper who never played golf before in his life time.he was 50 and died before he was 60, a guy who hit only irons off the tee and chips out of sand. To him, the U.S. Open was a flicker on a Zenith,an agate a scoreboard in the paper, a distant place he was never going to visit.
The U.S. Open and Father's Day, though, they've been as close as cheese and crackers since 1965, when the USGA dropped the 36-hole Saturday sweat fest and moved the final round of the Open to the third Sunday in June. This Father's day, if my Dad was here to get a card, or a tie, or a dozen golf balls, he would be 90 years old.

It's a nice, round number. Being a sportswriter, it gets me thinking. Being a son without a father for more than 30 years, it makes me sad.
Many fathers pass golf down to sons, which injects more meaning into U.S. Open Sunday, but I gifted the sport to him. I got hooked and pulled him along like a skier behind a boat until he could stand on his own. My electric putt-return with foam-rubber rug became his. The tin cups buried in the back yard became our targets. My dime-store putter and department-store 5-iron fit better in his Byron Nelson-large hands than my own. He inherited my 3-5-7-9 irons when I finally got a full set.

His ride through life wasn't without bumps and blind curves, but golf was free of trouble even if his scorecard was full of bogeys. An afternoon in the sun with a couple of friends and a couple of beers -- what was there not to like? This is someone, after all, who in 1945 parachuted from only 400 feet above the island of Corregidor, a badly broken ankle being the wound you could see.

Dad didn't beat balls. He never cleaned the grooves of his irons with an old toothbrush. He refused to put his golf balls in front of a heat duct the night before a winter game. The last thing before bed was not a re-reading of The Nine Bad Shots Of Golf and What To Do About Them. He never broke a club in anger, as I did at 16, with him present, unfortunately, to officiate the aftermath. I was obsessed with golf; he merely loved it. The one thing we did have common was 1970s golf fashion, for which the photographic proof that we actually wore the stuff is as incriminating as a police mug shot.

We played 11 holes type in our last round together. It was the fall of 1979. He had gotten sick, gotten better, then gotten worse again -- a cancer journey taken by so many. I know he wanted to complete the full 18, but he didn't have the strength. When I remember him, I usually am able to think of good times we had when we played, days that putts dropped or laughter ruled if they didn't. Occasionally, however, my mind returns to that October day when the scores just stopped.

For many years after when his Dad died, when he was 59 and I was 20, I felt cheated that he didn't get to grow old. I wished we could have had more talks, more rounds of golf, more time together.
Then, just a few years ago, something happened that made me more grateful for the years we were able to share, and the life, though abbreviated, Dad had.

He knew he was adopted but seldom talked about it. There was family chatter that his birth parents had been killed in a car accident, after which he ended up with a couple who raised him like their own. Those folks were his parents, and to him, that was enough.
But the mystery nagged at me, particularly as I got older, until three years ago when I finally had the gumption to at least attempt to see what I could discover. A tip from a helpful attorney pointed me to a musty room in a county courthouse. In minutes, as one bound volume of records led to another, the events of December 1920 became clear.

Dad had been "an infant manifestly abandoned by its mother," left by the side of a country road. There he was found by a man who rescued him, kept him for several days until handing him over to the couple who would become his parents, a husband and wife who not long before had lost their teenage daughter to diabetes.
My father's birth parents were not known, and I guess they never will be, so I traded one mystery for another. Since I walked out of that courthouse not quite believing what I had seen, when Dad comes to mind, George Parker, the name of the person who found him by the road, does too. It doesn't matter whether I am looking at Dad's Purple Heart or one of his old Top-Flites.
On Father's Day, especially, I can't think of one man without the other, and probably never will.

Coaches traveling to Person Gulf with NFL-USO

Four current and former NFL head coaches will travel this year to the Persian Gulf as part of the NFL-USO Coaches Tour. The quartet is scheduled to leave in late June and return July 4.In the group are current coaches Ken Whisenhunt of Arizona and Gary Kubiak of Houston. The father-son coaching team of Jim Mora will also be on the trip.

Mora Sr. coached with the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts, while his son coached the Atlanta Falcons and is currently an NFL Network analyst.
Mora Sr. was on active duty in the Marines from 1957-60.

He said, "As a former Marine officer, I have the utmost appreciation and respect for what our military personnel go through to preserve our country's freedom. I know this trip will be one of the highlights of my life and I hope I can in some small way bring a sense of home and joy to our troops overseas who serve our country so valiantly."
Whisenhunt's father, brother and father-in-law served in the Air Force.

He said, "I was very honored to be considered for it. I've talked to other coaches who have been and they've said it's a great experience."The former girlfriend of Atlanta Falcons cornerback Christopher Owens(notes) filed for a temporary protective order against him this week after she came home to find her apartment vandalized.
While no charges have been filed, Latia Terry reportedly alleged that Owens, the father of her nine-month-old child is responsible for the damage.

The police incident report said Terry claimed she left her apartment at 11 p.m. last Sunday and when she returned late Monday morning, the apartment had been broken into and burglarized.Officers wrote that there were holes in wall in the living room, pictures were on the floor with holes in them and a flat-screen television was on the floor, also with holes.

In addition, the closet in the master bedroom was "piled full of clothes, purses and jewelry. The suspect poured bleach all over the items, leaving discoloration on them and the carpet."Police spokesperson Edwin Ritter said "charges will be made once a suspect is developed and probable cause exists for arrest."

Gwinnett County court records show that a family volence hearing had been scheduled for June 22.Chicago Bears linebacker Lance Briggs(notes) says he won't believe there is progress being made in talks between players and owners until there is a deal.

Said Briggs, "To me, it is what it is. The thing that's bothersome is not knowing what our schedule is going to be. Whether this thing is done in two weeks or done in a month, then where do we go from there? We obviously must start the next day.

"I don't like the gray area. Not a fan of the gray area. I guess we just have to stay strong.Briggs also wonders about a $250,000 workout bonus he was scheduled to receive had this been a normal offseason.

"I don't know what is going to happen with that bonus," he said. "I could use that money just as much as anybody else. That was definitely factored into my budget this year. But if I don't get it, I don't get it.
More than 40 New York Jets players finished workouts this week at nearby Fairleigh Dickinson University, a site that was unknown until after it was over.

Explained quarterback Mark Sanchez, "We've seen (the) extreme in 'Hard Knocks' and every day in the media. Every little thing—heck, if you sneeze—it's out there in print or on a blog or on TV. This was our chance to relax, do it our way, keep it quiet and make it just a team thing. We wanted it to be about us."
San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh says he isn't concerned about some disagreements recently between quarterback Alex Smith and wide receiver Michael Crabtree(notes).

Said Harbaugh, "Just some of the things lately kind of goes back to the analogy I gave a little bit ago, when you're kids and working it out and sometimes you get into some tussles and shirts get ripped and noses get bloodied, but that's part of figuring it out. I know he's a good guy."
A judge in New Jersey downgraded three charges against Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt(notes) from an incident last week.

Britt was charged with resisting arrest and other offenses when he was confronted by detectives that believed he was carrying as marijuana cigar.
The charges were reduced to disorderly persons offenses and sent to Hoboken Municipal Court, where a hearing has been scheduled for June 23.

HISTORY OF SPORTS AND GAMES

     
Senet in Egypt: 3000 BC

Games with pebbles, in spaces roughly drawn out on the ground, are a pleasant way of passing spare time - of which hunters and gatherers have more than one might imagine. In a settled community a flat and permanent surface is a clear improvement on the rough ground; and pleasantly carved pieces are much preferable to pebbles.

The development of board games is an inevitable part of human history. The earliest known example - the senet of the Egyptians - is being played by 3000 BC and is still popular in a recognizable form in Egypt 5000 years later. Beautifully made boards for senet and other such games (with built-in drawers for the pieces) survive from Egyptian tombs.
         

Backgammon in Mesopotamia: 2500 BC

Among the treasures found at ur is a board laid out as if for the game of backgammon - which remains to this day one of the most popular board games in the Middle East.

Like senet and other board games of antiquity (but unlike, chess, draughts or the Japanese game of go), backgammon involves a large element of luck - since the movement of the pieces along the board depends on the numbers thrown. At this period a number is established by throwing sticks and counting those which fall with a given side upwards. The more economical method of six-sided dice is developed by about 2000 BC.
         

Egyptian sports: from 2000 BC

Games of throwing and catching, or contests in running, jumping and fighting, are likely to be as old as humanity. But surviving traces of competitive sports are first found among the relics of settled communities.

Wall paintings in an Egyptian tomb at Beni Hasan, dating from about 1850 BC, include numerous pictures of wrestling with most of the holds and falls still used today. In the tomb of an Egyptian child, probably of a slightly earlier date, a set of skittles has been found which are no different in principle from ten-pin bowling. But not until the heyday of Greece does sport play the central role which it occupies in modern society.

Team games of a popular or primitive kind are likely to share with polo and hockey the aim of getting an object through the opponents' defenses, but they will be played without any special equipment. In practice this means carrying rather than striking the ball or other object.

Ancient games of this kind are the ancestors of rugby football and American football rather than of soccer. They survive in many folk traditions. A typical example is the annual Haxey Hood game in Lincolnshire.
        

Every January 6, on rising ground between Haxey and West wood side, scores of men from these two neighboring villages struggle and scrum for up to three hours to deliver a leather cylinder (the 'Hood') to their local pub - where drinks will be free. Such folksy events are often recent revivals. But local contests of some such kind, on festive occasions, are likely to be almost as old as village life.

The earliest recorded game of this sort is harpastum ('hand ball'), played by the Romans. A ball is thrown into the air in midfield and play continues, with much pushing and pulling, until one side gets it across a line beyond their opponents.
