Ajax slam 'anti-football' Milan

AC Milan have made a habit of muddling through under coach Massimiliano Allegri and they did it again on Wednesday by scraping into the Champions League knockout stage with a performance which left opponents Ajax Amsterdam fuming.
Ajax coach Frank de Boer accused Milan of playing "anti-football" after the Serie A team shut up shop against his side following midfielder Riccardo Montolivo's first-half sending-off.
Playing for over an hour with 10 men, Milan held out grimly for a goalless draw, giving them the point they needed to carry the flag for Serie A after Napoli and Juventus were knocked out.
"If you look at the two matches against Milan, I think we deserved more," said De Boer.
"Anti-football won. It's incredibly difficult to beat Milan, even when they're down to 10 men. With 11 men they're willing to play, but not with 10.
"They did everything to keep it to 0-0. That's their right, but it's very frustrating. The referee should have accorded more extra time, because sometimes it took them a full minute to throw the ball in."
"We did everything we could," he said. "But the ball simply wouldn't go in. I don't know how many passes from the sidelines came, but we just came up short each time.
"But I'm proud of the team. I think we showed that as Ajax, we don't need to bow down to anyone. We could just as well have been among the 16 clubs who will play Champions League after the winter break."
Throughout the group stage, crisis-ridden, injury-plagued Milan have looked least likely to make an impression on the tournament this season, yet somehow have been left as Serie A's sole survivors.
Milan began the group by scrambling to a 2-0 win over Celtic with both goals in the last 10 minutes after a disjointed performance and were even more fortuitous to draw 1-1 with Ajax in Amsterdam.
Mario Balotelli won and converted a hotly-disputed penalty to give Milan a point which ultimate proved decisive.
CONTROVERSIAL QUALIFICATION
Milan qualified in the first place in controversial circumstances after a 2-1 at relegated Siena on the last day of last season lifted them into third place in Serie A, which earns a place in the playoff round.
Needing a win to pip Fiorentina, Milan trailed 1-0 with six minutes left before equalising with another controversial penalty, won and converted by Balotelli and then snatching a last-gasp winner.
Their campaign was played amid a seemingly never-ending injury crisis and against the backdrop of some dismal Serie A form which has seen them win only four out of 15 games, with political intrigue also thrown into the mix.
Chief executive Adriano Galliani at one point quit his role after nearly 28 years at the club after Barbara Berlusconi, daughter of club president Silvio Berlusconi, said Milan needed a new philosophy. Peace was quickly declared and Galliani agreed to share his role with Berlusconi's daughter.
Allegri has somehow clung on to his position, despite constant rumours that he is to be replaced, remaining unflappable throughout.
"Everyone's relieved, we've achieved the first target of the season," said Allegri. "It was important for me, the group, the club and the supporters."
"We deserved to qualify because we've had the right attitude in this group," said goalkeeper Christian Abbiati. "We've played six good matches, now we have to take this to Serie A as well."
With Stephan El Shaarawy finally back from injury and Kaka and Mario Balotelli finally finding their form, Milan, for all their failings, could suddenly provide a real threat in the knockout stages.

American Hustle Review: Jennifer Lawrence Steals the Show Alongside Hollywood's Heavy Hitters

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams in American Hustle Jennifer Lawrence steals the show in the David O. Russell-directed film alongside Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner Credit: Annapurna Productions LLC
In theaters Friday, December 13
3.5 stars (out of 4)
Once again, the winner is...Jennifer Lawrence.
In a dazzling movie about the art of the con, the actress —- playing a feisty and frustrated New York housewife —- manages to steal all her scenes. And that's no small feat, given the powerhouse lineup in this latest offering from director David O. Russell (Silver Linings Playbook).
PHOTOS: Jennifer Lawrence's early modeling years
The opening disclaimer —- which reads, "Some of this really happened" -- sets the tongue-in-cheek tone about the FBI investigation that took down a slew of politicians in the late '70s and early '80s. Here, the bedlam starts with oily scam artist Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale, who packed on 50 pounds to get that sizable gut). He's smugly self-satisfied on his dry cleaning businesses and fake art dealership when he meets slinky Sydney (Amy Adams). She cooks up a posh British accent and a new name, and the two set up an elaborate, phony-baloney loan business.
PHOTOS: Jennifer Lawrence and other stars with pixie cuts
While they celebrate their success in bed, Irving's wife Rosalyn (Lawrence) taps her well-manicured nails at home in the Long Island suburbs with their son. But complications don't mean a thing as long as they all have the green. That is, until Irving and Sydney get busted by an undercover agent (Bradley Cooper). To avoid jail, they're persuaded by the hotheaded fed to reel in an amiable New Jersey mayor (Jeremy Renner) in over his head in a corrupt gambling scheme.
Even with the meaty narrative, style trumps substance. And frankly, after a fall season dominated by harrowing survival stories, it's a welcome relief to see actors in their prime be outrageous and let their hair down. So to speak, anyway: In this case, the men go to amusing lengths to primp their coifs. (Bale meticulously covers bald-spot with a comb-over; Cooper sits at home with his mother with his hair in tiny pink curlers). Adams, meanwhile, stuns in a series of sexy low-cut dresses that also serve as an advertisement for double-stick tape. In fact, when the principals meet at a nightclub to set up a sting, the rapid-fire dialogue is secondary to Adams' plunging neckline and Lawrence's va-va-voom number and brassy updo. And it's an essential scene!
PHOTOS: Best movies of 2012
Yes, Lawrence. She and her Silver Linings love Cooper share scant quality screen time together, but the young actress proves she doesn't need a male costar to guide her. Her big moments come in a flash, most memorably when, after tattling on her husband, she belts out "Live and Let Die" in her house. Wearing yellow dish gloves. At age 23, she has the gravitas and charm to seduce Bale in the bedroom, Adams in a bathroom and, just for good measure, a mobster in a car. Hope she's clearing her mantel for more trophies. She might as well get those press-on nails gold-plated, too.

Kate Barry: Daughter of Jane Birkin and John Barry found dead after fall from Paris apartment

1 / 2

Ms Barry, who was a photographer who had been published in Vogue and the Sunday Times, was reportedly found dead on the pavement beneath her flat


Barry, 46, was the daughter of Birkin and the composer John Barry, who wrote many James Bond film themes. She fell from her fourth floor flat in the upmarket 16th arrondissement on Wednesday.
The flat was locked from the inside and no one else was present. Foul play is not suspected but an investigation is under way to decide whether the fall was an accident or whether Barry took her own life. French police sources told the newspaper Le Figaro that anti-depressant drugs were found at the scene.
Kate Barry’s photographs of fashion and actresses often featured in Vogue, Elle and Paris Match. She had a much-praised exhibition of her work, entitled “Point of View, portraits, still life”, in Paris until last month.
Her parents split up soon after she was born in 1967. Until she was 13, Barry was raised partly by her mother’s most celebrated partner, the French song-writer and singer, Serge Gainsbourg. She was the half-sister of the actresses Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon. She had a son, Roman de Kermadec, who was born in 1987. Her father died in 2011.
In an interview with the newspaper Libération last year, Barry said that, unlike most of the rest of her family, she had decided to work behind, rather than in front of the camera lens.
“I chose a job which shows off things,” she said. “I was always being photographed as a child. That must have had an effect.”
French police say Kate Barry, the daughter of actress Jane Birkin and James Bond composer John Barry, has died in Paris after falling from the fourth floor of her apartment. Kate Barry
In another interview, she said she first fell in love with photography when she used Gainsbourg’s Polaroid camera when she was a child. “Serge was a control freak but he let me use it,” she said.
“I thought there was something miraculous in the way that the images emerged almost straight away. For a long time, I though of photograpy as a game, rather than a profession.”
Barry had a history of substance abuse as a young woman, including a stay in a London clinic at the age of 17. In 1993, she helped to found an alcohol and drugs abuse treatment centre near Paris.
The French culture minister, Aurélie Filippetti, paid tribute to Barry for her “great pictorial sense”. She was “an outstanding photographer” who understood “the very meaning of pictures, staging, light and composition”, she said.
“We send our affectionate thoughts to her sisters and to Jane Birkin, a family loved by all French people,” Ms Filippetti added.

Outrage over rich teen's 'affluenza' defense in 4 deaths

There's no end to the Internet outrage after a Texas teen who killed four people appears to have gotten a lenient sentence precisely because he's from a wealthy, privileged family.
"Sixteen-year-old Ethan Couch, who was driving three times over the legal limit for an adult when he killed four strangers, found out that he will likely recieve treatment at a high-end rehab facility in California." (Via WFAA)
Police say Couch and his friends stole alcohol from Walmart, got drunk and drove 70 miles per hour in a 40 mile per hour zone. They struck two vehicles, killing four people and seriously injuring two more. (Via KTVT)
Police also say Couch's blood alcohol level was at .24 and he had Valium in his system the night of the crash. But the judge's decision to sentence him to 10 years probation instead of prison is... let's say unpopular. (Via GawkerThe American Conservative)
NANCY GRACE: "Straight probation! He doesn't even have to pick up trash! Nothing! Not one night in jail!" (Via HLN)
Judge Jean Boyd hasn't released a statement explaining her reasons for the lenient sentence, but it's the defense team's unprecedented tactics that are whipping comenters into a frenzy.
"Lawyers for Ethan Couch claimed he wasn't at fault because he had been spoiled by his parents. ... An expert testified that Couch's parents had never held him responsible for previous bad behavior." (Via KHOU)
The expert dubbed Couch's condition "affluenza," a term that blew up on Twitter. It's an inability to make good decisions thanks to a lifetime of coddling.
The irony that Couch's lifetime of getting off easy got him off easy wasn't lost on commenters.
A writer for The Dallas Morning News says: "Despite all the death in his wake, Ethan Couch didn’t learn a thing he didn’t already know: It’s far better to come from that wealthy place where actions seldom have those nasty old consequences."
Incidentally, Judge Boyd has already announced she won't run for re-election when her term ends next year.

Texas teen's fatal DWI defense: 'Affluenza'

HOUSTON (AP) — "Affluenza," the affliction cited by a psychologist to argue that a North Texas teenager from a wealthy family should not be sent to prison for killing four pedestrians while driving drunk, is not a recognized diagnosis and should not be used to justify bad behavior, experts said Thursday.
A judge's decision to give 16-year-old Ethan Couch 10 years of probation for the fatal accident sparked outrage from relatives of those killed and has led to questions about the defense strategy. A psychologist testified in Couch's trial in a Fort Worth juvenile court that as a result of "affluenza," the boy should not receive the maximum 20-year prison sentence prosecutors were seeking.
The term "affluenza" was popularized in the late 1990s by Jessie O'Neill, the granddaughter of a past president of General Motors, when she wrote the book "The Golden Ghetto: The Psychology of Affluence." It has since been used to describe a condition in which children — generally from richer families — have a sense of entitlement, are irresponsible, make excuses for poor behavior, and sometimes dabble in drugs and alcohol, explained Dr. Gary Buffone, a Jacksonville, Fla., psychologist who does family wealth advising.
But Buffone said in a telephone interview Thursday that the term wasn't meant to be used as a defense in a criminal trial or to justify such behavior.
"The simple term would be spoiled brat," he said.
"Essentially what he (the judge) has done is slapped this child on the wrist for what is obviously a very serious offense which he would be responsible for in any other situation," Buffone said. "The defense is laughable, the disposition is horrifying … not only haven't the parents set any consequences, but it's being reinforced by the judge's actions."
The psychologist testifying as a defense witness at Couch's trial testified that the boy grew up in a house where the parents were preoccupied with arguments that led to a divorce, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
Prosecutor Richard Alpert argued in court that if the boy continues to be cushioned by his family's wealth, another tragedy is inevitable.
Although Couch's case was handled in juvenile court, he has been identified publicly by the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office.
Dr. Suniya Luthar, a psychologist who specializes in the costs of affluence in suburban communities, told The Associated Press that her research at Columbia University in New York has shown that 20 percent of upper middle-class adolescents believe their parents would help them get out of a sticky situation at school, such as being caught for the third time on campus with a bottle of vodka. District Judge Jean Boyd's sentence, issued Tuesday, reinforces that belief.
"What is the likelihood if this was an African-American, inner-city kid that grew up in a violent neighborhood to a single mother who is addicted to crack and he was caught two or three times … what is the likelihood that the judge would excuse his behavior and let him off because of how he was raised?" Luthar asked.
"We are setting a double standard for the rich and poor," she added, noting the message is "families that have money, you can drink and drive. This is a very, very dangerous thing we're telling our children."
Authorities said the teen and friends were seen on surveillance video stealing two cases of beer from a store. He had seven passengers in his Ford F-350, was speeding and had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit, according to trial testimony. His truck slammed into the four pedestrians, killing Brian Jennings, 43, Breanna Mitchell, 24, Shelby Boyles, 21, and her mother, Hollie Boyles, 52.
Judge Boyd decided the programs available in the Texas juvenile justice system may not provide the intensive therapy the teen could receive at a $450,000-a-year rehabilitation center near Newport Beach, Calif., that the parents would pay for.
Scott Brown, the boy's lead defense attorney, said he could have been freed after two years if he had drawn the 20-year sentence. Instead, the judge "fashioned a sentence that could have him under the thumb of the justice system for the next 10 years," he told the Star-Telegram.

Freedom on-air The unsung heroes of Bangladesh Betar


Ashfaqur Rahman
Ashfaqur Rahman
For Quazi Akhtaruzzaman and Mirana Zaman, March 7, held a special meaning.
“That steel cabinet you see there”, he would say pointing to the corner of his living room,” was the make-shift vault that held Bangabandhu’s historic speech till the night before the army crackdown.” At a time when such an act would have led to certain imprisonment, they held on to the document till the time came to pass it on to the officials of Shadhin Bangla Betar Kendra. Mirana Zaman a cultural activist and a staff of then Radio Pakistan and Zaman, was the circulation manager of Ittefaq in the 70s.
Ashfaqur Rahman, who retired as regional director of Bangladesh Betar, was a witness to the turbulent period at the time of broadcasting the speech on the radio.
“There was hatred brewing up among the two wings of Pakistan. During the tidal wave and natural calamity of Nov 12, 1970, it was further evident that the Pakistani rulers were indifferent about erstwhile East Pakistan. On February 28, 1971, after returning from an official picnic we saw military guards posted at the gate—’it was for security reasons’” they said.
On March 1, while we were relaying a cricket match from the stadium there was an announcement in news that president Yahya Khan had postponed the assembly session. News was broadcast centrally from Karachi then. No sooner was this announced that you could literally feel the wave of fury that spread across the ground. Then there was an utter explosion of the public sentiment, the match was hastily abandoned and the crowd started to pour of the stands and torch whatever they could find as a protest against Yahya’s orders.

“Meanwhile the leader of the majority party Sheikh Mujibur Rahman addressed a press conference and announced the non-cooperation movement from that very day,” said Rahman. Practically the whole country had come to a stand still and Section 144 was implemented after dark.
“From March 4, all the radio stations, which were directly under the central govt., defied all regulations and changed its nomenclature from Radio Pakistan to “Dhaka Betar Kendra”. The other stations in Chittagong, Khulna, Rahshahi, Sylhet and Rangpur followed the lead.
“At this important juncture the then-regional director of radio, Ashrafuzzaman Khan played a vital role in the history of radio of the country,” Rahman went on.
”From this day onwards under the able leadership of Zaman, we brought about a complete change in the schedule and started to broadcast news, documentary, commentary and patriotic songs. News editor Saiful Bari also played an important role during this time.
“Meanwhile a nucleus team was formed with assistant director Mabzulul Hossain ARD, ARD Ahmeduzzaman, PNO Mofizul Huque, (myself) PO, Ashfaqur Rahman, Nassar Ahmed Chowdhury, Kazi Abdur Rafique, Bahram Siddiqui, Shamsul Alam,Taher Sultan. We were given orders to face any eventuality and we stayed during late hours in shifts at the radio station.
“During this time, the agitated students and politicians, journalists and intellectuals had been urging the leaders to take immediate steps to declare independence. The artistes had boycotted the station, but we were able to convince them that the only option for us was to stay united.”
Soon after, as we know, the artistes formed the “Bikkhubdho Shilpi Somaj”. The artistes, journalists, painters took the word to the people, performing on the roads, turning every vantage point into an impromptu stage.
“On March 7, the historic day, it was still undisclosed that we would broadcast the speech live. An OB team (outside broadcasting) was positioned at the Race Course Maidan, now known as Suhruwardy Uddyan. Throughout the day we played patriotic songs. When the time for the broadcast came, we put the telephone receivers down to avoid phone calls from the military authorities.
“Meanwhile, there was a tense situation everywhere. Ashrafuzzaman Khan was constantly in liaison with Bangabandhu. He was at the stage and Bangabandhu was due to arrive at the Race Course Maidan to deliver his speech at 2pm. At the station, the seconds seemed like hours as the clock ticked away and we waited impatiently to relay the speech, live.
“Despite all our well-laid plans, disaster struck minutes before the speech was on. An official had forgotten to take one telephone of the hook and the call came from the higher authority as we’d feared. Someone brought in a “chit” ordering us not to broadcast anything on Sheikh Mujib until further notice.
“However, by 2:35pm Mujib had reached the venue and began his speech to the nation and we were still in a deadlock on whether we could broadcast the speech or not. I was at the studio end as we tried wholeheartedly to contact Ashrafuzzaman for his final orders from Mujib.
“The next few moments were turning points. Ashrafuzzaman went up on the stage to pass on the message to Bangabandhu that we were not allowed to broadcast. He changed his address spontaneously by repeating this to the thousands gathered, urging all from that moment to stop working for the government. Ashrafuzzaman immediately asked us to leave work and come out of the heavily guarded radio station. From there we practically ran to the Race Course. By a stroke of luck, we had an EMI emergency portable recording gear at the stage to record the historic speech.
“There were substations at Kalyanpur, Nayarhat and Mirpur, from where the transmission was carried out in case the main station failed. So when we came out of the office we called up the people in charge of the transmission stations and we asked them to evacuate the place.
“It was for the first time in the history of radio in our country that the transmission came to a total halt.
“The very next day early in the morning we received orders to broadcast the speech at 8:30am and we resumed our broadcast.
“That day was a milestone for more reasons than one. The mood in the stations became defiant and bold. People worked round the clock gathering and relaying news, documentary, speeches anything that would come to the aid of the country. The optimism from that room seemed to become contagious over the airways as it carried news of non cooperation and hope to people in the remotest corners. From muddied trenches to now-empty living rooms, the radio became the day-to-day companion, the one link that tied everyone together.
If it took 3 million courageous lives and countless tragedies to win our war, what we should not forget is that it also took a group of dedicated people, who risked it all, to keep the airways and the spirit of the country alive through it all.

Butcher of Mirpur hanged Mollah first to walk gallows for war crimes 42 years back, to be buried at Faridpur village home under police protection


mollaHe didn’t wince once, neither did his heart skip a beat when he led his men to thrash a two-year-old child to death and slit the throats of a pregnant woman and two minor girls.
Around 42 years later, Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Mollah finally had to pay for these acts of cold-blooded savagery, as he walked the gallows at 10:01pm in the first-ever execution in a war crimes case.
The hanging of Mollah, 65, who earned the nickname Mirpurer Koshai (butcher of Mirpur) for his sinister role during the Liberation War, represents a watershed in the nation’s pursuit of a closure on the wounds inflicted in 1971.
Mollah’s body would be taken to his ancestral home at Sadarpur upazila in Faridpur for burial under police protection, Abu Hena Morshed Zaman, deputy commissioner of Faridpur, told The Daily Star at 10:15pm.
He was executed at the Dhaka Central Jail hours after the Supreme Court rejected his petition to review the death sentence, bringing an end to the drama that played out for two days since Tuesday evening.
Mollah’s counsels took out an order from the SC chamber judge to stay his execution on Tuesday night, only one and a half hours before the convicted war criminal was to hang at 12:01am.
The SC yesterday rejected Mollah’s plea for reviewing his death sentence, clearing the way for executing the condemned war criminal.
In his instant reaction after the execution, Shafiuddin Mollah, who testified against the Jamaat leader, told The Daily Star, “We are very happy. The grief and agony that have haunted us for the last 42 years will go away to a great extent.”
Shafiuddin, who lost his paternal uncle in a massacre at Alubdi village in Mirpur, said they would feel happier when all 1971 war criminals will get their due punishment.
He thanked the prime minister and all pro-Liberation War forces for their continuous efforts to bring the war criminals to justice.
Mollah, who was then a leader of Islami Chhatra Sangha, later renamed Islami Chhatra Shibir, never repented of the war crimes he committed 42 years ago. His party also never regretted its role during the Liberation War.
Driven by his deep political conviction that Pakistan should remain united even at the cost of one of the worst genocides in the world, he had targeted freedom-loving Bangalees and led his gang in at least two mass killings in Keraniganj near Dhaka and Mirpur, taking the lives of around 400 unarmed Bangalees.
Mollah, assistant general secretary of Jamaat-e-Islami, was finally shown arrested in a war crimes case on August 2, 2010 after enjoying impunity under the auspices of the Jamaat and the BNP.
He was then put on trial and awarded life term by the International Crimes Tribunal-2 on February 5 this year.
But the “lenient” sentencing gave birth to the never-seen-before Shahbagh movement that demanded maximum punishment for the war criminals.
The movement prompted the government to amend the relevant act to ensure the state’s right to appeal on behalf of the victims of the 1971 war crimes.
As the government appealed against the verdict, the Supreme Court on September 17 sentenced Mollah to death, overruling the ICT-2 judgment.
The countdown to Mollah’s execution started soon after the ICT-2 sent the death warrant to the authorities of Dhaka Central Jail on December 8. But confusion arose over the date of execution as the defence lawyers claimed that their client had the right to seek review of the SC verdict.
On Tuesday, State Minister for Law Qamrul Islam said according to the constitution, Mollah had no right to file any review petition, since he had been convicted and sentenced to death under the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973.
Things started to change quickly on Tuesday evening when the jail authorities asked Mollah’s family members to meet him at 8:00pm, giving rise to speculations that the Jamaat leader would be hanged that night.
Mollah’s counsels then rushed to the residence of Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain, chamber judge of the SC, who stayed Mollah’s execution.
A five-member SC bench headed by Chief Justice Md Muzammel Hossain, dismissed Mollah’s review petition yesterday on completion of a hearing on the maintainability of the petition.
Unhappy at the ruling, pro-Jamaat lawyers demonstrated at the SC premises, while pro-Awami League lawyers chanted slogans hailing the decision.
Hundreds of people, especially youths, rushed to Gonojagoron Manch at Shahbagh to celebrate the court ruling.
Mollah’s nine family members, including his wife Sanowara Jahan, met him inside the Dhaka Central Jail around 6:25pm yesterday on permission from the jail authorities.
On December 17, 2007, freedom fighter Mozaffar Ahmad Khan of Keraniganj filed a case against nine Jamaat leaders, including Mollah, on the charge of killing two freedom fighters in 1971.
But the justice seekers had to wait until the Awami League-led government formed the ICT on March 25 in 2010 as part of its electoral pledges.
On May 28, last year, the tribunal framed six charges that include: the killing of Mirpur Bangla College student Pallab; the killing of the poet Meherunesa, her mother and two brothers; the killing of journalist Khandker Abu Taleb; a mass killing in Ghatarchar of Keraniganj; the killing of 344 people in Alubdi village in Mirpur; and the killing of Hazrat Ali Laskar, his wife, three daughters and two-year-old son.
The ICT-2 found Mollah guilty on five charges and acquitted him on one charge related to the Ghatarchar killing, and sentenced him to life imprisonment. But the Supreme Court found him guilty on all charges and awarded him death for killing Hazrat Laskar and his family members.

About Peter Jackson's King Kong

Working very closely with Peter Jackson and Wingnut Films, Ubisoft's Montpellier studio (Beyond Good & Evil), its Montreal studio (Splinter Cell), and game director Michel Ancel have created a game reflecting the visual interpretation, character dynamics and dramatic narrative of Jackson's epic take on the classic King Kong story.
In this epic adventure, you will experience the fateful legend of Kong from the perspective of both man and beast. Survive Skull Island as unwitting hero Jack Driscoll in first-person shooting action, and unleash the staggering power of the 25-foot-tall King Kong in third-person action sequences. Use everything in the jungle to your advantage, exploiting the natural food chain of the prehistoric predators and grabbing objects from the environment to kill those hunting you.
