GoalRef™ has been one FIFA's preferred goal-line technologies since the FIFA Club World Cup took place in Japan in late 2012. An international audience witnessed the system successfully passing its first big test under real-world competitive conditions. For instance, during the final in Yokohama between Chelsea F.C. and Sao Paulo's Corinthians, GoalRef™ helped to quickly clear up a confusing situation in front of the Brazilian team's goal: Despite not having a clear view of the ball, the referee had no hesitation in allowing play to continue as his wristwatch had not received a 'Goal' signal.

The Fraunhofer-developed goal-line technology uses a low-intensity magnetic field that is created by antennas attached to the goalposts and crossbar. As soon as the ball travels through the magnetic field created above the goal line, a signal is sent to the referee's watch, allowing them to decide immediately whether or not a goal has been scored.

The system is easy and inexpensive to install at any soccer stadium. Apart from the antennas attached to the goal frames, all that is needed is a special ball. Embedded in the ball are coils that are able to trigger antenna signals and require no power supply. The Derbystar ball has been developed by Danish company Select and Fraunhofer IIS for use with GoalRef™ at the Copa Amsterdam.

The program has been compiled by the hosts to entertain the worldwide community and features live concerts, automobile exhibitions, competitions, joint excursions and lots of party action. The IMM 2013 also reflects the fascinating history of this unique British car, and its diversity will be impressively documented by the fleet of participants' own cars. Nowhere else do so many representatives of different sections of the brand's history assemble: from lovingly maintained classics dating back to the early years through to the very latest individually styled MINI models.

A revolutionary space concept, classless style and fascinatingly agile handling were what gave the classic Mini its exceptional status on the international automobile markets from the very beginning. These fundamental qualities were reproduced in all the numerous model versions created back in the 1960s, accounting for the enormous popularity of the classic Mini to this day and revived in modern form for the 21st century in the new MINI. This is one reason why fans and drivers of the new MINI have been part of the IMM community for many years.

So in Mugello, too, there will be brand new MINI models produced in 2013 parked alongside the Morris Mini Minor and the Austin Seven. The MINI Clubman will meet its ancestor, the Morris Mini Traveller. And the Mini Cooper S from the 1960s - once the base model for the cars that won the Monte Carlo rally - will measure up against today's top sports model, the MINI John Cooper Works. And because the IMM is a true family get-together, even the less well-known relatives will be in on the act: these include the Wolseley Hornet and the Riley Elf, elegantly fitted small cars which transferred the genes of the classic Mini to two other British Motor Corporation brands, likewise in the 1960s.

In deference to the host country, an Innocenti Mini Parade will take place on the Mugello race track. Based on the British original in terms of technology and initially in its external design, too, the Italian version of the car was produced in Milan from 1965. The last of these came off the production line 20 years ago, having undergone several revisions in the meantime.

IMM weekend activities also include a parts market, presentations by Mini clubs from various countries, slalom and drift competitions and test drives in current MINI models. There will also be excursions to Pisa, Siena and Florence, either by bus or in a Mini convoy subject to limited participant numbers. The most attractive and lovingly restored automobiles from all eras of the brand's history will be presented in an exhibition area specially reserved for the Mini Contest. But awards won't just go to perfectly preserved classics: in the brand's typical tongue-in-cheek style there will also be prizes for the cleanest car, the most rust, the longest distance covered to get to the IMM and the loudest hi-fi system in a Mini.

The Cooper Class also enjoys a substantial prize for the class winner, in the form of a subsidized John Cooper Works class drive in 2014, worth over £16,000 with other prizes for race winners and Driver of the Day. The John Cooper Works Class will also be eligible for a substantial prize due to be announced at the first race meeting at Snetterton.

The John Cooper Works Class cars have also been subject to a performance upgrade in the form of a bespoke ECU map, which provides improved throttle response and more torque.

In 2013 nearly 30 registered drivers will compete, split between the two classes and therefore expect one of the most competitive seasons to date. Reigning champion Lee Allen returns to defend his crown, from a number of young hard chargers led by Lee Pattison, Chris Smith and 2009 Overall and 2010 John Cooper Works Class champion Luke Caudle. There are many drivers who are new to MINIs who are also aiming to upset the establishment, including Mark Steward, Lawrence Davey and Stuart Calder, whilst Jono Brown steps up from the Cooper Class in 2012 to take on the big boys this year.

The Cooper Class grid is the largest it's been for a few years and the competitors have the pedigree to steal the show from the turbo cars. It will be fascinating to see how they all shape up.

During 2013 and 2014 many more improvements will be launched including new initiatives which will ensure that the MINI Challenge continues to be the 'Place to Race' for many years to come.

Nike's We Own The Night run series kicks off May 18 in London's Victoria Park, uniting thousands of female runners in a celebration of sport, style, design and culture. We Own the Night (WOTN) will create a festival atmosphere in the streets of Europe's capitals — London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and Milan — with live music and DJs, light shows and after-parties.

Each city 10K will serve up a unique experience that speaks to the respective city's character and energy. Nike athletes and influential personalities from the worlds of music, fashion, film and TV will join race participants in each locale.

WOTN participants took part in six-week personalized training programs combining physical and digital experiences leading up to the races. The journey included invites to VIP Nike Training Club classes at locations such as the SoHo House rooftop in Berlin to Paris's beautiful Jardin D'acclimatation. To inspire registrants' training journey, Nike treated them to boutique shopping celebrations with expert fitness and style consultants, and run club sessions hosted by celebrities such as platinum-selling pop star and runner Ellie Goulding.

Digitally, runners have been able to get more out of each run by tracking their time, distance, pace and calories burned via Nike+. They have made every workout count with the Nike+ FuelBand and the Nike Training Club App, and connected with Nike communities via Facebook as they prepare to run and party together.

Here's a preview of each race:

London

In East London, the city's epicenter of emerging street style and culture, the series will kick off with a race full of vibrant color and music. The Henry Holland-designed race packs have secured the designer a rare male entry to the event; but Holland will face stiff competition at the starting line from marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe. DJs Gemma Cairney and DJ Neev will keep energy high with a curated mix of London's emerging music tracks as runners cruise through Victoria Park.

Amsterdam

The party continues the following night in Amsterdam. DJs will help create an exhilarating atmosphere to keep runners moving through the twists and turns of fluorescent-lit Westerpark. International singer Eva Simons hits the run fresh from the Beyonce tour, joining the WOTN pack on the Catwalk for their moment of running fame. From the track to the stage; Simons will perform a celebration concert as part of the after-hours pay-off.

Berlin

On May 24, sneaker culture capital Berlin will host WOTN on a never-before-run 10K route that travels through illuminated airfields, Berlin's most vibrant neighborhoods animated by spectacular street-style artists and ends with a celebratory party led by hip-hop star Cro at a natural swimming lake. Local singer Jennifer Weist and Olympic athlete Gesa Krause join participants on the race course.

Paris

Style hub Paris has taken WOTN participants on a glamorous training journey since sign-up. Nike offered late-night Nike Training Club classes to Parisian runners in iconic city landmarks — from the panoramic views of the Montparnasse Tower rooftop to the city's most prestigious private fashion addresses. The racecourse embodies the city of chic, with views alternating between the contemporary architecture of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, historic buildings and the borders of the Seine. The city's running and style mavens will join No. 1 distance athlete Laurane Picoche and French actress Sabrina Ouazani on the starting; and an array of light, sound and sensory surprises will be revealed along the route.

Milan

City of design Milan will offer a visual landscape like no other for the series finale on May 31, taking runners from the courtyard of the 14th century Castello Sforzesco, in Parco Sempione to the modern design district of Piazza Gae Aulenti. Italian TV presenters and running lovers Melissa Satta and Fiammetta

Cicogna will join Olympic marathoner Valeria Straneo on the course, bringing both style and inspiration to the starting line. Passing through illuminated tunnels, 3D projections and colliding soundscapes, the run will end with a celebration party featuring Italain soul singer Nina Zilli, and hip-hop artist Shystie at Piazza Cairoli.

The party starts May 18: check this space for post-race updates and details.

"We are very satisfied with the meeting and with the fact that we could talk face to face. Sao Paulo will be an example for other cities to deliver the stadium in time, by 31 December. The discussion with Corinthians was very fruitful since we understand we both want the same goal, to have the stadium ready,' said FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke, who added 'It is also a special project because of the legacy it leaves for the east zone of Sao Paulo.'

'This was an excellent meeting. There was some misunderstanding but Sao Paulo and Corinthians are aware of their responsibilities. I have always been sure that we would host the opening game of the FIFA 2014 World Cup and now I am even more. The schedule agreed with FIFA will be respected,' said Corinthians representative Andres Sanchez.

'We have reached an agreement to guarantee the delivery of the stadium in Brazil's biggest city on 31 December. There was no issue about our capacity to deliver the arena in time,' said the CEO of Odebrecht, Benedicto B. da Silva.

President Jose Maria Marin was very delighted by the good news ahead of tomorrow's Local Organising Committee Meeting in Rio which he will chair: 'I am very pleased with the result of this meeting and the commitment from all parties to make sure Sao Paulo as all the other FIFA World Cup venues will be delivered on time to ensure the best stage for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.'

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its decision to participate in the FIA Formula One (F1) World Championship from the 2015 season under a joint project with McLaren, the UK-based F1 corporation.

Honda will be in charge of the development, manufacture and supply of the power unit, including the engine and energy recovery system, while McLaren will be in charge of the development and manufacture of the chassis, as well as the management of the new team, McLaren Honda.

From 2014, new F1 regulations require the introduction of a 1.6 litre direct injection turbocharged V6 engine with energy recovery systems. The opportunity to further develop these powertrain technologies through the challenge of racing is central to Honda's decision to participate in F1. Throughout its history, Honda has passionately pursued improvements in the efficiency of the internal combustion engine and in more recent years, the development of pioneering energy management technologies such as hybrid systems. Participation in Formula 1 under these new regulations will encourage even further technological progress in both these areas. Furthermore, a new generation of Honda engineers can learn the challenges and the thrills of operating at the pinnacle of motorsport.

Commenting on this exciting development, Takanobu Ito, president and CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. said:
"Ever since its establishment, Honda has been a company which grows by taking on challenges in racing. Honda has a long history of advancing our technologies and nurturing our people by participating in the world's most prestigious automobile racing series. The new F1 regulations with their significant environmental focus will inspire even greater development of our own advanced technologies and this is central to our participation in F1. We have the greatest respect for the FIA's decision to introduce these new regulations that are both highly challenging but also attractive to manufacturers that pursue environmental technologies and to Formula One Group, which has developed F1 into a high value, top car racing category supported by enthusiastic fans. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Jean Todt, the President of FIA and to Mr. Bernie Ecclestone, the CEO of Formula One Group who showed great understanding and cooperation to help realize our participation in F1 racing. The corporate slogan of Honda is "The Power of Dreams". This slogan represents our strong desire to pursue and realize our dreams together with our customers and fans. Together with McLaren, one of the most distinguished F1 constructors, Honda will mark a new beginning in our challenges in F1."

Also, Martin Whitmarsh, CEO of McLaren Group Limited said:
"The names of McLaren and Honda are synonymous with success in Formula One, and, for everyone who works for both companies, the weight of our past achievements together lies heavily on our shoulders. But it's a mark of the ambition and resolve we both share that we want once again to take McLaren Honda to the very pinnacle of Formula One success. Together we have a great legacy – and we're utterly committed to maintaining it."

Jean Todt, president of FIA said:
"I am very happy to hear about Honda's important decision to return to Formula One with McLaren from 2015.The introduction of the new power train next year, in the form of a 1.6 litre, 6 cylinder engine with direct injection and energy recovery, is a very exciting challenge and demonstrates a vision for the future of the sport. I am sure that Honda will become a strong contender in the years to come. "

Bernie Ecclestone, CEO of Formula One Group said:
"It is a great pleasure to see Honda back in Formula One. Their engine technology and passion for motor sports make them a natural Formula One contender."

History of Honda Participation in F1 Racing:

1964-1968: Participated as an "all Honda" team including both the engine and chassis

1983-1992: Participated as an engine supplier (Won both the driver's and constructors' championship titles for four consecutive years from 1988 through 1991)

2000-2005: Participated as an engine supplier and joint developer of the chassis

2006-2008: Participated as an "all Honda" team including both the engine and chassis

Stuttgart / Leipzig. The Porsche plant in Leipzig, Germany, is producing the 100,000th Panamera today. Back in 2009, the decision to produce this new Porsche model series and manufacture the first customer vehicle started a success story. 'In over 120 countries, Panamera customers drive a Porsche that is 'Made in Leipzig' and sport this quality seal around the globe. The team and I are very proud of this,' says Siegfried Bülow, Chairman of the Board of Porsche Leipzig GmbH. Developed in the Swabian city of Weissach and manufactured in the Saxon metropolis of Leipzig, the Panamera also illustrates successful cooperation between business sites within the Porsche company. The value that is placed in this team accomplishment is being expressed today as the 100,000th Panamera festively drives off the assembly line and through a paper wall that was signed by employees beforehand.

The milestone vehicle is a new Panamera S E-Hybrid in 'rhodium-silver metallic'. This vehicle - the world's first plug-in hybrid of the luxury class - made its debut before a world audience at the Shanghai Auto Show at the end of April 2013. The Panamera S E-Hybrid combines efficiency, sportiness and comfort with a very personal note: the number of possible combinations of factory installed exterior and interior colour combinations and decors is over 1,500. With 416 hp (306 kW) of system power, the car's NEDC fuel consumption is just 3.1 litres of fuel per 100 km, which equates to 71 g/km CO2 emissions. The car is also a Porsche Gran Turismo through and through: it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds, and its top speed is 270 km/h.

The Outdoor Fitness Collective caters for a broad cross-section of the local community with ante and post-natal exercise for Mums, yoga for the elderly members of society and more robust activities for working professionals. What's more, the beautiful locations they have chosen are the most inspirational that South West London has to offer and are sure to keep people coming back for more. 

Bramley got the idea whilst training for the UK Ironman and his channel swim. 'I got very fit and met some really amazing people who were all enjoying different exercises in the fantastic locations we are lucky enough to have on our doorstep. In the ten months of training I didn't step foot in a gym once,' he said.

There are also plans to roll out the multi-activity concept to other London locations including Hyde Park and Battersea Park and this summer will also see the launch of an activity programme designed for children during the long summer holidays.

"It's not easy for prospective buyers to find reliable information about back country, portable water filtration systems on line. There are a myriad of retail sites, OEM sites, review sites, and article publication sites offering hundreds of opinions and options for the buyer" says Michael Elliott, one of the staff members at the recently-launched website, Waterfiltrationsystemreviews.com.

Unlike many sites, this site provides water filtration system options based solely upon actual customer reviews with no additional promotional content. Only water filtration systems which rank in the top 20% in their respective categories will be included on the site.

"If you're looking for a water filtration/purification system that will ensure that you get clean and safe drinking water while enjoying your outdoor activities, or to meet any of your water filtration needs, the site will  provide a comprehensive set of options for you", says Elliott.

Since launch, 19 back country water filtration systems reviews have been posted on the website, with more being added as they become available.. "We will continue to include reviews of the highest-rated systems, based upon customer reviews, from manufacturers such as Sawyer, Berkey, Camelbak, SteriPEN,  Katadyn, MSR, Lifestraw, Aqua Vessel, and others. Most companies have great models of water filtration systems, but you should know what their customers have to say before you buy", states Elliott.

In addition to the new Back Country system reviews, Water Filtration System Reviews will continue to add more reviews to their existing database of reviews of systems for the home, including under-sink, counter-top, reverse osmosis, and faucet/shower-mounted water filtration systems.

The Manchester United centre-half, who was last week named in the PFA Team of the Year 2012-13 in a poll of his fellow professionals, will also act as a BT Ambassador. Spurs star and PFA Player of the Year Gareth Bale and England winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain have already been announced as fellow ambassadors.

Rio is founder of the Rio Ferdinand Foundation, which offers education, training and employment support programmes in deprived communities. He is also Editor-in-Chief of his own digital magazine #5, which is a free lifestyle magazine. That position has allowed him the chance to conduct big name sporting interviews.

Rio, who has played 486 Premier League games in his career, will help BT to sign up customers for BT Sport, which will offer 38 exclusively live Barclays Premier League games, including 18 of the top pick matches, for three years from August 2013.

BT Sport has also secured the rights to live top tier matches from Serie A in Italy, Ligue 1 in France, Brasileiro in Brazil and Major League Soccer in the USA.
And BT's acquisition of ESPN's TV channels business in the UK and Ireland will bring the rights to show live games for the FA Cup, Scottish Premier League, Europa League and the German Bundesliga.

Rio said: 'I am really excited about joining BT Sport. I will be doing a lot more than sitting on a sofa working as a football expert. I am going to be able to make programmes for BT Sport, not just about football, but also about other things that I am passionate about. And I will also be continuing to turn the tables as an interviewer putting the questions to big name stars, rather than answering the questions, like I do with my interviews for #5 magazine.'

The star signed for BT Sport after agreement was reached with his representatives at New Era Management.

Simon Green, head of BT Sport, said: 'We are absolutely delighted that we've been able to sign another major talent in Rio. Apart from his tremendous achievements as a player, he's a great role model, devoting his time to his charitable foundation. And he's a perfect ambassador for BT, as a technology-lover with 4 million followers on Twitter and his own digital magazine. We intend to showcase not only Rio's unrivalled, current insight into the Barclays Premier League, but also his other skills as an interviewer and programme-maker.'

BT Sport will also show up to 69 live rugby union games a season from the Aviva Premiership.

In addition, BT has signed a deal with the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) to show matches from 21 global tournaments, including the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships.
The BT Sport channels will be based at the iCITY development at the Queen Elizabeth Park in Stratford. The company has opened a pre-registration site for customers to register their interest in BT Sport at www.btsport.com.

Company CEO and Squid Anchor Business Development agent, Gary Sturdevant said: 'Our new website gives our customers the information they need to choose the correct anchor, line or anchoring system for their kayak, canoe, jet-ski, inflatable, fishing boat or other light personal watercraft.' 

Sturdevant continued: 'The whole concept of our unique anchors is that the user doesn't have to carry a heavy anchor weight when they're not actually anchoring. The Squid Anchor is designed to be filled with gravel or sand only when it's in use, and is emptied when done. It's easy to carry, fill, empty, stow and go. Our customers appreciate its light weight when they're on the move, and its bottom gripping holding power when anchoring. And it's made right here in the USA so the quality is first rate.'

The company's new website includes an expanded e-commerce catalog, videos, comments and product specifications. Stephen Antisdel, manager of Precept Partners, the website's developers added: 'We designed the new site to be compliant with current HTML5 standards to operate on all platforms, including laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones whether Android or Apple based.' 

Squid Anchor technology is available on the website in three sizes with optional anchor line and anchoring systems.
