Armstrong is no longer seven-time champion

Lance Armstrong, who has just been robbed of seven Tours, has changed its official Twitter profile. The U.S. has removed the phrase "seven-time Tour de France" and now simply says: "Raising my 5 children battling cancer. Swimming, biking, running and playing golf whenever I can."


Just been slow to respond to the American news ICU. Without knowing whether Armstrong will appeal the decision to CAS, it seems that right now is no longer considered the winner of seven editions of the prestigious gala round.
 

There has been no official reaction from the Texan and his profile on twitter seems the only clue for how Armstrong has taken the press conference of Pat McQuaid. Before the UCI gave reason to report USADA, Armstrong's self-description was: "A father of five incredible seven times Tour de France winner, full time fighter against cancer, part-time triathlete" .
 

Now, after confirming the lifetime ban and the cancellation of his victories, has been as follows: "Raising my 5 children battling cancer. Swimming, biking, running and playing golf whenever I can."

New York, USA.

Today we are going to talk about the Big Apple and all you can see in it. New York is an area that attracts countless tourists and we, the Spanish, we are increasingly those who visited this American city .



 What to do in New York? 



The Statue of Liberty: As you know, is the symbol of the city of New York and is located on Liberty Island.

Battery Park: A perfect garden to enjoy the tranquility that has little town, a city that is constantly moving from day to night. 

Wall Street is the financial center of the city of New York, I have seen in countless movies.

Times Square: It's a must for breath and enjoy what we are tired of seeing in movies and on TV: Its huge neon signs. Already on Broadway you will enjoy the atmosphere around thousands of theaters and music held in the city.

 Rockefeller Center: If you are looking forward to visiting the huge skyscrapers of New York, you can not leave to go to Rockefeller Center,

                                 Times Squere. New York City.

Helping new students

The students of 2º Bachillerato want to help new people of the high school. In this page you can say whatever you want: problems, questions, etc.
Here you have some tips to make the stay more enjoyable:

-You should look at the diary if you don't know where the classrooms are, as we can see a paper where the classroom's numbers appear

-You don't have to be embarrassed at the time of talking with you tutor if you have a fight, dispute, doubts, problems, asking for advice...etc.

-If you don't have enough money to buy whatever book, you can take books from the high school's library or the books bank from A.M.P.A. When you pass the academic year, you should give the books to the book bank for other students who will need them.

-Be careful if you're late. The concierge closes the door 10 min after ringing the bell, so don't sleep over and you set two alarms.

-The centre has a Orientation Departament, where they can help you to solve questions about your future. In addition, if you have any problems you can talk with the psycologist.

News of a few sports







Latest News
Sergio Garcia has admitted thoughts of helping Europe to Ryder Cup glory hampered his form at the Tour Championship.

The 32-year-old, who failed to make the European team in 2010 but worked as one of Colin Montgomerie's assistants, finished joint 15th in the final event before the tournament.
And with his level of excitement at being back playing in the Ryder Cup in Chicago "probably a 12" out of 10, Garcia claims he perhaps lost his focus at Tour Championship.
"I had so many things in my head right now - I was probably thinking too much about the Ryder Cup," he said.
"I played every round with one of the American team and couldn't stop myself thinking: 'Right, I'm one up now' or whatever.
"I've always enjoyed the match and I just hope my game gets back to where it was. Hopefully I'll get some nice practice in and get going.
"I want to play as well as I can to help my team, although I've always said that I'd rather lose all my five games and Europe wins than win all five and we lose."

Ollie: Experience will be key




The Spaniard, who leads the Europe side into battle this week, believes they will benefit from having so many players who are PGA Tour regulars on the team.
Only three players - Miguel Angel Jimenez, Paul Lawrie and rookie Nicolas Colsaerts made the once-feted official flight across the atlantic this year, in company with captain Olazabal and the trophy.
Ian Poulter, Justin Rose, Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy and Lee Westwood regularly ply their trade Stateside and Olazabal hopes their experience will hold the team in good stead at Medinah.
"It's completely different to, say, 15 years ago," he said. "Some of the European players have their base here, they play the tour, they're very familiar with the golf courses and their opponents.
"So in that regard they feel more comfortable with the whole situation of coming to the United States to play the Ryder Cup.
"It has changed in that respect, and also they have realised over the years they can compete with the players over here. That, somehow boosts your confidence and that plays a very important part when you're playig matchplay."
Europe have won four of the last five Ryder Cups but Olazabal insisted that record would have little bearing on the outcome this week.
"This is a new Ryder Cup. We are playing here against a very strong team, playing away," he added. "The crowds are going to be rooting for the home team really strong, so we have to be prepared for that.
"I've said all along both teams are pretty even, and I think it's going to be a close match. From that point of view I don't see a favourite, and it will have to be decided on the golf course."




Sale Sharks duo Andy Powell and Tom Brady will appear before a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday, following incidents during Saturday's defeat at Bath. 

 

Wales number eight Powell is alleged to have used foul language and made an offensive hand gesture to spectators.
Winger Brady has been charged with an alleged dangerous tackle on Bath number eight Ben Skirving.

Yankees Rout Boston to Take One-Game Lead


The Yankees took a one-game lead over Baltimore with two games left after a nine-run second inning outburst capped a decisive victory over the Red Sox Monday.

Ted


-->
Movie review: Ted


Ted is a movie made by Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy (Padre de Familia). The 29 of June this year Ted had it's premiere in the cinemas and the movie has had a great success ever after.

The movie is about the teddybear Ted. Ted is quite different form other teddybears; he is alive, pot-smoking and naughty. Ted has been John's best friend ever since childhood and they are inseperate. This challenges the relationsship between John and his girlfriend Lori. Lori gives John an ultimatum; her or his teddybear, and John chooses her.
In the movie we see how Ted is forced to “grow up”, get a job and live on his own. He failes miserably and ends up naughtier, more pot-smoking and worse than ever. To get his life straightened out he has to get John back..

We liked the movie a lot. It is funny and it has just the right amount of inappropriateness and black humor. A movie made by the creator of Family Guy simply can't go wrong. We advise you all to see it!

The Voice

 


                                               The voice

We are going to speak about the new program called The Voice.

This program is about four famous people who are important in Spain . They have to select fourteen contestants to form a music band. After that, the famous singers start to prepare the contestants so that they become stars.

First of all the contestants must pass a casting , but these auditions are going to be televised and we are able to see them on our televisions.

In the casting the famous can´t see the contestants , so that they don´t judge them by their apperence only for their voices.

When a famous person likes the voice of a contestant , he or she pushes a button to turn their chair and she or he selects this contestant for his or her group.
Secondly the famous singer should prepare other people to win the programme.
                                                        

                                                            
                                                    
They are the four famous persons and the host.
The name of famous people are:
                    1. Melendi
                    2. Malú
                    3. David Bisbal
                    4. Rosario Flores.
                      And the host is:

Smash Mouth: "I'm a believer"

I thought love was only true in fairytales Meant for someone else but not for me Love was out to get me,that's the way it seemed Dissappointment haunted all my dreams Then I saw her face Now I'm a believer. Not a trace Of doubt in my mind. I'm in love (ooooooaaaahhh) I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried I thought love was more or less a given thing The more I gave the less I got, Oh Yeah What's the use of trying All you get is pain When I wanted sunshine I got rain Then I saw her face, Now i'm a believer. Not a trace Of doubt in my mind. I'm in love (ooooooaaaaahhhh) I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried What's the use in tyring All you get is pain When I wanted Sunshine I got rain! Then I saw her face Now I'm a believer! Not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm in love (ooooooaaaahhh) I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried Then I saw her face, Now I'm a believer. Not a trace Of doubt in my mind. I'm a believer, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahhaah.... Im a Believer(2x)

  

Love Letter

I'm sitting at the window, it starts raining outside, Ithought about you these last few days and although I hate to admit it, I miss you, I need you.Among all the tangle of ideas that spin inside my head, is your memory. Sometimes I have the impression that you will appear suddenly with a big smile as if you had never left.However, the illusion vanishes as soon as it appears and I return to reality, You aren't here neither you will be in a long time.Guilt and remorse haunt me. Why? Why didn't I tell you how much you want?Today you're so far away from me. I know anything happens to you. I wish to be able to hold your hand and sitting with you, without saying a word with your lips and saying everything with the heart.I feel really depressed because I can't see you. If I could, I would be at your side.I'd say are very important to me and that I adore you.Do you know why I never told you? The answer is simple, for fear of rejection, you probably you only see me as a friend, perhaps a sister who always wanted to have, but  you're much more than a friend for me, more than a brother.  You're my life and my heart. I suffer a lot from your game, it hurts the soul not to be near you and therefore my regret that I write this letter now,I need to vent, because if I need to mourn pretending to others that I'm fine, nothing worries me feel the lump in the throat and the sadness that opens a hole ever deeper into my soul will end up breaking my heart.Why not come back yet? I need you, my heart needs you to continueliving, and although you do not feel for me what I feel for you,would be very happy with every day to see my reflection in your eyes,hear the sound of your voice calling my name with breathingair that you breathe, that alone would settle and I assure youlive happy knowing that I will never love me like you.If you read this letter carefully, you realize that every word written in it is a tear and a sigh

First interview: Joan Hernández

Joan is the history teacher of IES Gaia. We have done an interview to him, about the economic cuts.

Journalist: Hey! What do you think about "economic cuts"?

Joan: Hello, I think that is always the innocent who pays, the workers and the low class.

Journalist: What do you think we can do to change the situation?

Joan: The solution could be that the goverment share the Spanish debt to the citizens, and the guilties pay for it.

Journalist: Is your salary going down?

Joan: Yes, of course!

Journalist: How much?

Joan: From 10% to 12% the last month, but in the next  months it could be down up to 30%.

Journalist: Do you think that the goverment will return all the money?

Joan: They have promised that they will return it, before 2013, but I am not sure.

Journalist: Thanks for your time, you can see your interview on gaiaseyes.blogspot.com

Joan: You are welcome, I have enjoyed a lot, I will enter in the page to see my interview.

The Videogames of the Year


FIFA 12

One of the top videogames of year is FIFA 12.
It is a videogame where you can play football with your favourite team against the machine or against your friends online.
This videogame has got better in many ways: the advanced intelligence has grown up. Every team will get used to his players, for example if you have a tall striker the machine sends the ball to the area. Another change is that the impacts between players have grown up, so the shock beetwen players is more realist. Also FIFA 12 has included more teams, in this videogame there are till 500 teams.
This year there are people that say that Pro Evolution Soccer is best, but for me this continues being the best.
If you want more information, go to www.fifa12.es.
